Jump to navigation Jump to search

Some counterparties — usually institutional asset managers drunk on their own self-importance — have been known to steal an option, quite literally, by making it so hard to serve notices that their brokers delay serving while they check the details and figure out a means of robust literal compliance, or even do not serve at all. Sound absurd? Consider how hard it is to negotiate a hard grace period directly into a failure to pay provision, and how hard it is to negotiate one’s own address in the notices section. Does any negotiator ever challenge an address?
