An easier way of thinking about it:
 
====There is an Event of Default====
If there is an {{isdaprov|Event of Default}} it will be the {{isdaprov|Default Rate}} or the {{isdaprov|Non-default Rate}}, depending on who is paying, whether it is an {{isdaprov|Unpaid Amount}} or an {{isdaprov|Early Termination Amount}}, before or after the {{isdaprov|Early Termination Amount}} payment date. That knocks out a lot of the complexity right there:  {{quote|
A {{isdaprov|Defaulting Party}} pays the {{isdaprov|Default Rate}} and a {{isdaprov|Non-defaulting Party}} pays the {{isdaprov|Non-default Rate}}. In all circumstances.}}
====There is not an Event of Default====
This includes {{isdaprov|Termination Events}} and ''quasi'' {{isdaprov|Termination Events}} — things like {{isdaprov|Force Majeure Event}}s and {{isdaprov|Illegality}} where there is a {{isdaprov|Waiting Period}} or a deferral of some kind. Here it will be
:Until the day the {{isdaprov|Early Termination Amount}} is due (factoring in any {{isdaprov|Waiting Period}}), the {{isdaprov|Applicable Deferral Rate}}, and after that point the {{isdaprov|Termination Rate}}.
 
Look, I said easi''er'', not eas''y''. You do sense that it could have been quite a lot less convoluted even than this, don’t you.

Truly from the I’m sorry I asked file — almost in the shoot me file. This whole game of pan-dimensional chess, with six different Applicable Close-out Rates to apply in different circumstances, is all just to work out how to accrue interest on Unpaid Amounts and Early Termination Amounts during the close-out process. Considering that the said payer of this Applicable Close-out Rate is, Q.E.D., a dead duck at the time, and is unlikely to be able to pay much of anything, let alone elevated penalty interest, it really should not have been this hard.

You get a strong sense that the pragmatists of ISDA’s crack drafting squad™ — if there are any — had well and truly tuned out and gone to the bar by the ’squad got to this definition. Looking on the bright side, at least it doesn’t mention LIBOR.[1]
