From a recent slide deck entitled "IPv4 Report" presented by John Curran:


For the unique legal and operational 
requirements of government entities, ARIN will 
make appropriate modifications to its RSAs and 
LRSAs including: 
- modification or deletion of the indemnification provision, 
- modification or deletion of the bankruptcy provision, 
- revision to the choice of law provision,  
-Amending the dispute resolution section consistent with 
statute, and  
-Other issues as needed.  

So at *the very least* modifications are apparently available if you are a government entity.
