In the {{gmsla}} we are stuck with an elaborate and largely pointless waterfall — if the instrument is suspended you aren’t gong to get a price from an information service or a market-maker, and leaving everything in the hands of {{gmslaprov|Lender}}s who may not have a clue (in the a case of principal {{gmslaprov|Lender}}s under [[agent lending]] arrangements) may well be inclined to purport to have no instructions from a principal who has no clue (in the case of [[agent lender]]s themselves)  and in any case may be firmly axed to ''pretend'' they don’t have a clue even if they do have one, where the {{gmslaprov|Loaned Security}} is the one that has been suspended).

The {{2000gmsla}} set the value of suspended instruments — at least for {{gmsla2000prov|Collateral}} valuation purposes — at nil, which seems harsh, but really isn’t, if there is no way of trading the instrument. In that case the innocent party (i.e., the other one) will want either a ton more collateral (if it is Lender) or all of its Collateral back if it is {{gmslaprov|Borrower}}).
