A provision that does very little to help an inquiring mind with the question "What is the Cash Settlement Payment Date actually, like, for?

For that, you would be advised to consult Section 8.6, Cash Settlement of Equity Swap Transactions, which differentiates between “Price Return”, which concerns itself purely with the prevailing equity price of the underlier, and “Total Return” which also factors in dividends paid on the relevant stock, and “slight return”, which is a Jimi Hendrix song.[1]

Note: Dividend Amounts are typically payable on the Cash Settlement Payment Date — though the Cash Settlement Payment Date following what — that is the question, whose answer, it turns out, is a little bit odd, as you will see if you investigate further.
