Section 5(e) in a Nutshell™
Use at your own risk, campers!
Full text of Section 5(e)
5(e) Inability of Head or Home Office to Perform Obligations of Branch. If: [2]
- (i) an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event occurs under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1) and the relevant Office is not the Affected Party’s head or home office,
- (ii) Section 10(a) applies,
- (iii) the other party seeks performance of the relevant obligation or compliance with the relevant provision by the Affected Party’s head or home office and
- (iv) the Affected Party’s head or home office fails so to perform or comply due to the occurrence of an event or circumstance which would, if that head or home office were the Office through which the Affected Party makes and receives payments and deliveries with respect to the relevant Transaction, constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event, and such failure would otherwise constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1) with respect to such party,
then, for so long as the relevant event or circumstance continues to exist with respect to both the Office referred to in Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1), as the case may be, and the Affected Party’s head or home office, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1).

Content and comparisons
There is no Section 5(e) in the 1992 ISDA. It came about through a confluence of the 2002 ISDA’s new Force Majeure Termination Event, an evolution of the existing Illegality Termination Event, and what we can only put down to down-home crazy-apes paranoia from ISDA’s crack drafting squad™, about which we hypothesise in some detail in the premium section. Our imagined explanation involves Pink Floyd axe-man David Gilmour and some disrupted Moroccan Dirham remittances, if that is any incentive.
Summary
In a nutshell squared: If an Affected Party’s head office is subject to a Force Majeure or Illegality, It can’t be whacked for not performing a branch’s obligations under the Section 10(a) rep.
From the “shoot me” department, this multi-line bunker-buster introduced into the 2002 ISDA which, to give it some kind of credit, doesn’t generate a great deal of comment in the course of your average negotiation. That is as likely to be because it is so stupefyingly dull that no one has summoned the fortitude to read it as it is because it is a sensible, prudent allocation of risk.
But here you are, especially for you, the Jolly Contrarian’s Nutshell™ service renders it for you in emperor’s couturier style.
