{{{{{1}}}|Specified Entity}} is | A {{{{{1}}}|Specified Entity}} is any affiliate of a counterparty to an {{isdama}} which is designated in the relevant Schedule. | ||
It is relevant to the definition of {{{{{1}}}|Cross Default}} and {{{{{1}}}|Default under Specified Transaction}} in that it widens the effect of those provisions to include defaults by the parties specified. | |||
It is so (~ cough ~) important that it is, literally, the first thing you see when you regard an ISDA {{{{{1}}}|Schedule}}. | |||
The same concept in both versions of the {{isdama}} only with different clause numberings. {{{{{1}}}|Specified Entity}} is relevant to: | |||
*{{{{{1}}}|DUST}} | |||
*{{{{{1}}}|Cross Default}} | |||
*{{{{{1}}}|Bankruptcy}} | |||
*{{{{{1}}}|Credit Event Upon Merger}} | |||
And of course the {{{{{1}}}|Absence of Litigation}} representation. Let’s not forget that. | |||
Each party designates its Specified Entities for each of these events in Part 1(a) of the Schedule, which gives the Schedule its familiar layout: | |||
{{subtableflex|47| | |||
{{ISDA Master Agreement 2002 Schedule Part 1(a)}} }} | |||
Now, why would anyone want different Affiliates to trigger this a {{{{{1}}}|Event of Default}} depending precisely upon ''how'' they cork-screwed into the side of a hill? Well, there is one reason where it might make a big difference when it comes to {{{{{1}}}|Bankruptcy}}, and we will pick that up in the premium section. But generally — and even in that case, really — in our time of variation margin it really ought not to be the thing that is bringing down your {{isdama}}. | |||
Note it also pops up as relevant in the “{{{{{1}}}|Absence of Litigation}}” representation in Section {{{{{1}}}|3(c)}} of the {{2002ma}}. |
