Overview
This is the business end of the negotiation. Well, it’s the only end of the negotiation. This is where you make your elections, advise your name and address details, and make any amendments and augmentations to the pre-printed standard form. It would be nice to think that it would be a matter of filling out name and address, making some standardised tax representations and everyone would be underway and ready to trade, but usually it is a 3-6 month process of haggling about contingencies that are highly unlikely ever to arise.
And if it were that easy, this whole web site wouldn’t have been necessary. You decide whether or not that is a good thing.
Summary
The Schedule is where the parties make their elections, customised representations, and any other amendments to the form of the ISDA that they want to apply across the board. Thus the Schedule is the heart of the ISDA negotiation. It is famously divided into five parts, of which you will spend most of your time in Parts 1 and 5.
Part 1 - Termination Provisions
Part 2 - Tax Representations (Schedule)
Part 3 - Agreement to Deliver Documents
Part 4 - Miscellaneous (Schedule)
Part 5 - Other Provisions
