Separate Indemnities - ISDA Provision
ISDA Anatomy™
|
So who even knew the things in Section 8(a) and 8(b) were indemnities?
They are, in the strict literal sense of an indemnity: a contractual promise to pay a sum of money (the difference between the amount paid in the Non-Contractual Currency and the actual amount owed in the Contractual Currency) in circumstances not (strictly) amounting to a breach; they are not in the popular (but misconceived) conception of an indemnity as some kind of all-conquering smart bomb.
Indemnity is one of the JC’s pet subjects. Get him started and that’s the evening gone.
