(Quick drafting point: this means that a party fails to pay its {{isdaprov|Early Termination Amount}}, not that there is an {{isdaprov|Early Termination Amount}} determined following a {{isdaprov|Failure to Pay of Deliver}} {{isdaprov|Event of Default}}). That being the case, this is — well, if it covered all {{isdaprov|Termination Events}}, would be — the obvious best choice: it means, beyond any doubt the counterparty really has failed, it really did owe something, and it really did fail to pay it.

''Now'' you have all the justification you need to wade in and repossess your counterparty’s initial margin. Only, oddly — infuriatingly — it doesn’t capture finally determined {{isdaprov|Early Termination Amount}}s that were caused by ''non''-{{isdaprov|Events of Default}} (the so-called “{{imcsdprov|Access Condition}}s”). Why, since at this point you have failed to pay the amount, and? Search me, readers.
