ISDA Master Agreement

An ISDA Master Agreement standardizes derivatives trading relationships, defining netting, collateral, and termination terms. This playbook assists counsel in managing counterparty risk and regulatory compliance under derivatives frameworks.

Indemnification Provisions

Why This Matters: Proper indemnification limits prevent unlimited liability exposure while ensuring genuine losses are recoverable without protracted disputes.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Party A:

Negotiate for a clear indemnity cap to limit liability exposure. Ensure the survival period aligns with the risk profile of the transaction.

If you're the Party B:

Advocate for a reasonable indemnity basket to avoid liability for minor claims. Ensure clarity in the notice of claim procedures.

Essential elements

1

Indemnity Cap

Limits on liability exposure.
2

Indemnity Basket

Threshold for claim liability.
3

Survival Period

Duration of indemnity obligations.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits when the indemnity cap is too high or the survival period is too long.

EDIT

Reject clauses that expose unlimited liability or lack clarity in claim procedures.

ADD

Add language for specific high-risk scenarios or additional protections.

PRO TIP

Always align indemnification provisions with the transaction's risk profile and business objectives.
