10.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter sets out the types of obligations that would constitute an Obligation and Deliverable Obligations under the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (henceforth the “2014 Definitions”; see International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. 2014b). The former defines the scope of obligations that can trigger a credit event, and the latter defines the scope of obligations that would be applicable to settling a transaction. This chapter begins with an overview of the definitions of “Obligation” and “Deliverable Obligation”. Specific rules on how these terms are to be assessed in the context of a “relevant guarantee” and certain types of transaction, including the additional conditions that must be satisfied for an obligation to constitute a Deliverable Obligation for the purposes of a Modified Restructuring (“Mod R”) or Modified Modified Restructuring (“Mod Mod R”) transaction, are explored. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion on the impact of certain additional provisions relating to Obligations and Deliverable Obligations, settlement completion issues of a delivery and the challenge process available to eligible market participants under
