Differences between a CDS Failure to Pay and an ISDA Section 5(a)(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver

Payments satisfied other ways Failure to Pay or Deliver carve-out

It is an Event of Default not to supply documents for delivery Paranoia alert: the unusually, and unwantedly, long reach this Event of Default gives to your Cross Default provision. How material is “material”?
