Template:M gen 2002 ISDA 6(d)
Section 6(d) gives the ISDA ninja a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation on close-out as, having served your Section 6(a) notice designating a point in the near future as the Early Termination Date, you must now ascertain termination values for the Terminated Transactions as of that date, before that date, but you can’t really work out their mark-to-market values at any time before that date, not being able to see into the future or anything.[1]
Anyway, that’s a conundrum for your trading people (and in-house metaphysicians) to deal with and it need not trouble we eagles of the law. For our purposes, the trading and risk people need to come up with Close-out Amounts[2] for all outstanding Transactions. Once they have done that you are ready for your Section 6(e) notice.
