So, how does default and close-out differ between title transfer and pledge versions of the GMSLA, then? Not as much as you might think. The mechanism for determining who owes what is broadly the same but, since the {{pgmslaprov|Borrower}} hasn’t parted company with the {{pgmslaprov|Collateral}} it has pledged — ''yet'' —  and byt the theory of the game the pledged Collateral is sitting quietlky in a segregated account with a [[Triparty agent|triparty]] [[custodian]], ready to be returned or seized and liquidated, as the circumstances require, all of the {{pgmslaprov|Securities}} valuation mechanisms focus on the {{pgmslaprov|Loaned Securities}} leg of the transaction, since the Borrower won’t, if it has a scooby doo what it is doing, be holding the Loaned Securities at any time during the Loan. It will have [[Short selling|sold them short]].

===It only really comes in to play if the Borrower has defaulted===

If the ''{{pgmslaprov|Lender}}'' has defaulted, you generally wouldn’t call an {{pgmslaprov|Event of Default}} under a {{pgmsla}}. There is no need: the {{pgmslaprov|Borrower}} just returns the {{pgmslaprov|Loaned Securities}}, security is released from its pledged {{pgmslaprov|Collateral}} and we all carry on our sedated ways. I mean ''sedate'' ways. Sure, if you’re a masochist you ''could'' invoke the default process of Paragraph {{pgmslaprov|11}}, but why would you? The {{pgmslaprov|Loan}} is terminable at will; if you ''do'' want out, just terminate it and give {{pgmslaprov|Equivalent}} {{pgmslaprov|Securities}} back, and the security is released from your pledged {{pgmslaprov|Collateral}}. Far easier.

Your {{pgmsla}} leaves you will a closed-out big fat portfolio of receivables owing from the {{pgmslaprov|Borrower}} to the {{pgmslaprov|Lender}}, and a big fat pool of {{pgmslaprov|Collateral}} sitting with the [[triparty agent]], in the {{pgmslaprov|Borrower}}’s name but pledged in favour of the Lender. So the heavy lifting in terms of taking the {{pgmslaprov|pCollateral}} is done by the {{pgmslaprov|pSecurity Deed}}. While, intellectually, this cleaves the normal arrangements under a title transfer {{gmsla}} into two parts, they now work the same way. While it might take a while to work out the Default Market Value, the Lender can exercise on the {{pgmslaprov|Collateral}} immediately there is an {{pgmslaprov|Event of Default}} (though note the Borrower should want some kind of grace period built into failure to pay events reaquiring a period of notice before Collateral can be exercised. It is easier top bvuild that into the definitioin of non-payment-style {{pgmslaprov|Events of Default}} in Paragraph {{pgmslaprov|10}}.<ref>Hint hint — we’ve got some [[Events of Default - Pledge GMSLA Provision|suggested language]] there!</ref>
