The current Chief Executive Officer is Scott O'Malia, who joined ISDA in 2009.

The ISDA Master Agreement is an internationally agreed document published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (?ISDA?) which is used to provide certain legal and credit protection for parties who enter into over-the-counter or ?OTC? derivatives transactions.

The framework consists of a master agreement, a schedule, confirmations, definition booklets, and credit support documentation. The master agreement is a document agreed to between two parties that sets out standard terms that apply to all the transactions entered into between those parties.

About ISDA ? International Swaps and Derivatives Association.

A specified entity would typically be an affiliate or entity within the same business group, the circumstances of which are likely to have some impact upon the party's creditworthiness or its ability to continue meeting its obligations under the ISDA Master Agreement.

Specified Indebtedness means any obligation (whether present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise) in respect of borrowed money, other than in respect of deposits received.

Section 10 of the ISDA Master Agreement allows parties to specify whether they are Multibranch Parties. Electing ?Multibranch Party? status allows you to transact out of the named branches of the same legal entity.

Section 5(a)(vi) of the ISDA provides that an Event of Default will occur if a party defaults on a third- party obligation and the default or the obligation is in excess of a specified threshold amount.

In this regard, ISDA is very pleased to see that the NAFMII Agreement contains what are hailed as the ?three pillars? of derivatives documentation for risk management purposes, namely, the concepts of ?single agreement?, ?flawed asset? and ?close-out netting?.
