Year 2000 Review of Standard ISDA Documentation
(Available from ISDA's Web Site: http:l/ www.isda.org)
The Year 2000 Review of Standard ISDA Documentation is intended to draw attention40 those provisions
contained in ISDA's documentation which ISDA considers to be of interest in light of potential Y2K date
change problems.
Although the Review intends to focus attention on particular provisions that my have been (or may be)
incorporated into individual transactions, it does not recommend specific amendments to those provisions in
light of the Y2K date change problem.
The Definitions are primarily an expansion and revision of the 1998 Confirmation of OTC Swap Transaction
(Single Reference Entity, Non-Sovereign) (the "Long Form confirmation"). They provide the basic
framework for the documentation of certain privately negotiated credit derivative transactions.
User's Guide to the ISDA Credit Support Documents Under English Law
This User's Guide is designed to explain the ISDA Credit Support Deed (Security Interest - English Law) and
the ISDA Credit Support Annex (Transfer - English Law) and to highlight the principal differences between
each of those documents. An additional section comparing each of these documents to the New York CSA
has also been included for the benefit of those already familiar with the New York CSA.

User's Guide to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreements
This manual is designed to assist in the understanding and use of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreements,
definitional booklets, and forms of confirmation. This publication provides a detailed, section by section
review of the provisions featured in the 1992 Master Agreements and how they differ from those published
in 1987, as well as tax matters, issues relating to set-off, and new technologies. Translations of the User's
Guide are available in Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Simplified Chinese Character Translation of the User's Guide to the ISDA Master Agreements
Traditional Chinese Character Translation of the User's Guide to the ISDA Master Agreements
These translations of the User's Guide to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreements in simplified and traditional
chinese are intended to assist in the understanding and use of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreements,
definitional booklets, and forms of confirmation. These publications provide a review of the provisions
featured in the 1992 Master Agreement and how they differ from those published in 1987, as well as tax
matters, issues relating to set-off, and new technologies.
In addition to the expanded floating rate options section, the Supplement introduces new sections on Negative
Interest Rates, Options and Cash Settlement in response to requests from members. The Negative Interest
Rates provisions, incorporate language from ISDA's November 1995 Negative Interest Rate Memorandum and
make the presumption that the Negative Interest Rate Method will apply to all transactions, excepting floors
and certain FRAs already addressed in the 1991 Definitions, unless otherwise specified. The options
provisions address terms relevant to swaptions, rights of optional early termination and break clauses, includinl
calculating a cash settlement amount. The Supplement includes provisions for calculating a cash settlement
amount, and provides a number of alternative cash settlement methods which reflect the variety of methods
currently used in practice.
1994 Amendment to the 1987 Interest Rate & Currency Exchange Agreement
to Provide for Full Two-Way Payments
(Available from ISDA's Web Site, http://www.isda.org)
This amendment is designed to assist parties in converting outstanding 1987 Agreements from limited two-way
payments to full two-way payments.
General
The ISDA Review reflects the experiences of collateral practitioners during the recent periods of extreme
volatility and contains twenty two recommendations in the area of collateral management. It also sets out
action plans for collateral practitioners, regulators and ISDA to enhance the effectiveness of collateralization as
a risk mitigation technique.

1995 Credit Support Annex (Transfer - English Law)
This annex allows parties to establish bilateral mark-to-market arrangements under English law relying on
transfer of title to collateral in the form of securities and/or cash and, in the event of default, inclusion of
collateral values within the close-out netting provided by Section 6 of the ISDA Master Agreement. This
Credit Support Annex does not create a security interest, but instead relies on netting for its effectiveness. Like
the New York form, it is an annex to the Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement.
-
1995 Credit Support Deed (Security Interest English Law)
This deed allows parties to establish bilateral mark-to-market collateral arrangements under English law
relying on creation of a formal security interest in collateral on the form of securities and/or cash. It is a stand-
alone document (not an annex to the Schedule), but is otherwise comparable to the 1994 ISDA Credit Support
Annex for use with ISDA Master Agreements subject to New York law (which also relies on creation of a
formal security interest in the collateral).
User's Guide to the ISDA Credit Support Documents Under English Law
This User's Guide is designed to explain the ISDA Credit Support Deed (Security Interest - English Law) and
the ISDA Credit Support Annex (Transfer - English Law) and to highlight the principal differences between

also been included for the benefit of those already familiar with the New York CSA.
U.S.A.
1994 Credit Support Annex (Subject to New York Law Only)
This annex allows parties to establish bilateral mark-to-market security arrangements. This document serves as
an annex to the schedule to the Master Agreements and is designed for use in transactions subject to New York
law. ISDA also prepared a User's Guide to assist in the understanding and use of this annex.
ASIA
User's Guide to the 1995 ISDA Credit Support Annex (Security Interest -Japanese Law)
This manual discusses the differences between the 1994 ISDA Credit Support Annex (Subject to New York
Law) and the 1995 Japanese law Credit Support Annex. The structure and wording of the 1995 Japanese
law Annex were designed to conform to the 1994 ISDA Credit Support Annex (Subject to New York Law)
in order to facilitate its use by those familiar with the 1994 Annex. Therefore, parties should generally refer
to the User's Guide to the 1994 Credit Support Annex.
EMU DOCUMENTATION
EMU Guidebook
The ISDA EMU Guidebook is an essential 150-page guide outlining the basics of the changeover to the
euro for money, forex, bond, equity and related derivatives transactions and explains the legal,
documentation, accounting, tax and risk management issues raised by European Economic and Monetary
Union.'In addition, it contains all the key EMU reference materials a practitioner would need, a guide to the
back office and systems impact of EMU, a glossary of euro terms and comprehensive references. The
European Monetary Institute, predecessor to the European Central Bank, has kindly provided a foreword to
the Guidebook.
The Euro Definitions are based on the provisions of the ISDA EMU Protocol, adding various euro price
source definitions and standard price source conversion provisions. In addition, standard provisions to
allow adjustments to equity derivative and bond option transactions are provided.

EMU Protocol
(Available from ISDA's Web Site, http://www.isda.org)
The. EMU Protocol is ISDA's innovative approach to providing parties with a structure that will permit them to
multilaterally amend existing transactions governed by an ISDA Master Agreement in light of European
Economic and Monetary Union. The structure, which supported through ISDA's web page, will allow parties to
effect adjustments on a collective basis instead of through time consuming and costly bilateral negotiations.
There is no charge for the document itself, but there will be a charge for utilization of the Protocol process.
Details on the process, including a copy of the EMU Protocol for downloading, will be available on the ISDA
web site.
1997 EMU Continuity Provision
(Available from ISDA's Web Site, http://www.isda.org)
The provision is intended for use in existing and future ISDA Master Agreements where the parties wish to
document their intention that European economic and monetary union ("EMU") should not affect the continuity
of their contract. The provision enable parties to confirm in their ISDA Master Agreement the EMU will not
give either party the unilateral right to walk away from, or modify the terms of, any transaction governed by the
agreement.
The purpose of these definitions is to provide the basic framework for the documentation of privately ne-
gotiated FX and currency option transactions, including those transactions previously documented under
the 1992 ISDA FX and Currency Option Definitions. These definitions are an expansion of the 1992 Defi-
nitions andcover a wider range of currencies and transactions. The most significant new concepts are the
inclusion of certain Disruption Events and Disruption Fallbacks, which enable parties to a transaction to
allocate certain event risks by providing an agreed upon method for settling a transaction upon the occur-
rence of those events. These concepts may be applicable to certain currency transactions, such as those in-
volving emerging market currencies.
These ~efinitionsconsist of a booklet, which contains provisions that are not expected to change fre-
quently, and a three-ring binder, described in further detail below, which contains provisions that are ex-
pected to be supplemented as needed. The price for the Definitions is for both the booklet and the binder.
As noted below, Annex A can be purchased separately.
1989 Addenda to ISDA Schedules for Interest Rate Caps, Collars & Floors
This addenda enables swap counterparties to include caps, collars and floors and similar products under the
1987 Agreements. A Commentary on the use the Addenda is included. The necessary provisions for
documenting these transactions are included in the 1992 agreements and 1991 Definitions (except those
provisions noted in the 1992 User's Guide to the Master agreements).
