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.
Termination Rights

Example clauses
FAVORABLE
Termination for Material Breach
"Either party may terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of a material breach by the other party. The non-breaching party must provide written notice to the breaching party specifying the nature of the breach and allowing a cure period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice. If the breach is not cured within the specified period, the non-breaching party may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice."
NEUTRAL
Notice Procedures for Termination
"All notices of termination must be in writing and delivered via registered mail, courier, or electronic mail to the addresses specified in this Agreement. Notices shall be deemed received upon actual receipt by the receiving party."
UNFAVORABLE
Unclear Termination Rights
"Termination rights are subject to mutual agreement without specified conditions or notice requirements."
Fallbacks
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, termination rights should include specific risk mitigation measures and shorter notice periods to allow quick exits.
Long-Term Contracts
For long-term contracts, ensure termination rights include periodic review clauses to reassess terms and conditions.
Cross-Border Agreements
In cross-border agreements, consider additional termination rights related to changes in international trade laws or tariffs.
