Cross acceleration is like cross default, but it only arises when the non-defaulting party has actually accelerated the contract. Therefore it is a higher threshold and a less sensitive trigger, and avoids that weird scenario when the actual creditor has not itself triggered its default rights, but an opportunistic third party holder of a cross default right can jump in and close out anyway (therefore making the benign creditor less likely itself to show leniency for the original default, it being a nasty, brutish and short old world out there).
