Now note a fundamental difference between legally enforceable {{tag|netting}} arrangements and [[Guarantees]]: In a netting arrangement the full value of the offsetting transaction fully and automatically cancels out the corresponding [[exposure]]. There are no contingencies.  By contrast, collateral arrangements that don’t amount to enforceable [[netting]] arrangements, [[guarantees]] and [[CDS]] transactions ''all depend for their effectiveness on the solvency of the person providing the credit mitigation'' – if the credit support provider fails, so does the credit mitigation and the exposure remains.
