Content and comparisons

No great difference between the versions of Section 7 other than those yielded by ISDA’s crack drafting squad™ satisfying its usual yen for redundancy and over-particularity.

Any right under any contract is subject to applicable law, after all, and converting “any amount payable on early termination under Section 6(e)” to “the Early Termination Amount together with any amounts payable under various other random clauses of the agreement as a result of its early termination” may be more exacting than the 1992 ISDA version, but you could as easily have fixed it just by deleting “under section 6(e)”.

Summary

Section 7 ought to head off the temptation felt, for example, by legal eagles who should come to be handling novations in years to come to insert laborious representations and warranties that neither party has assigned any of its obligations — but knowing the sorts of legal eagles who usually get assigned to such thrilling tasks, it won’t. Nor will the fact that the 2004 ISDA Novation Definitions includes that representation. Sigh.
