Breach of Agreement in a Nutshell™ _{(ISDA edition)}

5(a)(ii) “Breach of Agreement” means:

(1) a party breaches any of its obligations under the Agreement and doesn’t remedy the breach within 30 days of the other party’s notice other than the following:

(a) a Failure to Pay or Deliver;

(b) owning up to a Termination Event;

(c) not providing any necessary tax documents;

(d) any of its tax representations not being true; or

(2) a party repudiates this ISDA Master Agreement or any Transaction.

A failure to perform any agreement, if not cured within 30 days, is an Event of Default, except for (i) those failures who have their own special Event of Default (ie Failure to Pay or Deliver, under Section 5(a)(i)) or those that relate to tax, and which mean the party not complying will just get clipped for tax it rather would not.

It is an Event of Default not to supply documents for delivery

A failure to Furnish Specified Information — ie those documents for delivery specified in Part 3 of the ISDA Master Agreement, adverted to in Section 4(a)(ii) will therefore be an Event of Default, although you have to navigate a needlessly tortured string of clause cross references and double negatives to settle upon this conclusion.

Differences

Note the addition of repudiation to the 2002 ISDA.
