Template:Gmslap curious fidgety sort of amendment we have seen is to expand this provision from mere costs incurred on an event of default — and let’s face it, the GMSLA is designed as a self-help agreement so there really shouldn’t be any professional expenses involved in closing one out — to “all the {{{{{1}}}|Non-Defaulting Party}}’s reasonable costs and gains arising from the termination of the loan” as well as those likely-not-to-exist professional costs of closing out.
This is not necessary and you should stoutly resist. The deal with stock loans is you borrow, you pay fees, and you return, and mark your collateral to the value of the shares. The {{{{{1}}}|Lender}} is not on risk to your short: there are no “gains” or “losses” — these are a function of the short sale the {{{{{1}}}|Borrower}} effects in the market with the shares once it has borrowed them from you. If you want your Shares back, or one of the parties defaults, and a Loan is unexpectedly terminated early, {{{{{1}}}|Borrower}} is free to close out its short, or keep it open, at its leisure, irrespective of what happens with that original stock loan: if it is recalled, the {{{{{1}}}|Borrower}} can source shares to repay it by borrowing them somewhere else.
