:(ii) So: once you have a clear, notified {{{{{1}}}|Failure to Pay or Deliver}}, you have to wait ''at least'' one and possibly three or more {{{{{1}}}|Local Business Day}}s before doing anything about it. Therefore you are on tenterhooks until the [[close of business]] '''T+2''' {{{{{1}}}|LBD}}s (standard {{2002ma}}), or '''T+4''' {{isda92prov|LBD}}s (standard {{1992ma}}). | :(ii) So: once you have a clear, notified {{{{{1}}}|Failure to Pay or Deliver}}, you have to wait ''at least'' one and possibly three or more {{{{{1}}}|Local Business Day}}s before doing anything about it.

:(iv) For this we go to Section {{{{{1}}}|6(e)}}, noting as we fly over it, that Section {{{{{1}}}|6(c)}} reminds us [[for the avoidance of doubt]] that even if the {{{{{1}}}|Event of Default}} which triggers the {{{{{1}}}|Early Termination Date}} evaporates in the meantime — these things happen, okay? — yon {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}}’s goose is still irretrievably cooked. | :(iv) For this we go to Section {{{{{1}}}|6(e)}}, noting as we fly over it, that Section {{{{{1}}}|6(c)}} reminds us [[for the avoidance of doubt]] that even if the {{{{{1}}}|Event of Default}} which triggers the {{{{{1}}}|Early Termination Date}} evaporates in the meantime — these things happen, okay? — yon {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}}’s goose is still irretrievably cooked. For it not to be (i.e., if [[Credit department|Credit]] suddenly gets executioner’s remorse and wants to let the {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}} off), the {{{{{1}}}|Non-defaulting Party}} will have to expressly terminate the close-out process, preferably by written notice. There’s an argument — though it is hard to picture the time or place on God’s green earth where a {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}} would make it — that cancelling an in-flight close out is no longer exclusively in the {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}}’s gift, and requires the {{{{{1}}}|NDP}}’s consent. It would be an odd, self-harming kind of Defaulting Party that would tun that argument unless the market really was gyrating like crazy, however. | ||
*'''Determining {{isdaprov|Close-out Amount}}s'''<ref>Or their equivalents under the {{1992ma}}, of course.</ref>: There is a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation here as you must now ascertain termination values for the {{{{{1}}}|Terminated Transaction}}s as of the {{isdaprov|Early Termination Date}}, and you can’t really work out their [[mark-to-market]] values for that date at any time before then, unless you are able to see into the future and everything. Anyway, that’s a conundrum for your [[Trader|trading]] people (and in-house [[Metaphysics|metaphysicians]]) to deal with and it need not trouble we [[Legal Eagles|eagles of the law]]. For our purposes, the trading and risk people need to come up with {{isdaprov|Close-out Amount}}s<ref>See previous footnote.</ref> for all outstanding {{{{{1}}}|Transaction}}s.
