Overview

edit

The bit you fill out in a your credit support annex to make it work. It is all in a rather sacred, standardised format, which differs marginally through the different versions of the CSA. Some of the stuff relates to 1994 NY CSA, and each other 1994 NY CSA and so on (or just 1994 NY CSA, if you are on the 1994 NY CSA), 1994 NY CSA, 1994 NY CSAs, 1994 NY CSAs and so on.

Some of it gets a little more elaborate later on, but generally speaking it isn’t anything like as gruesome or torturously negotiated as the Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement.
