Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers basis swaps (“Basis Swaps”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which a Basis Swap may be traded are 

as specified in these terms and conditions and in the 

attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made. For these 

purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: This contract description incorporates by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) ISDA Settlement Matrix (if Optional Early 

Termination applies)

(c) ISDA OTC Taxonomies

(d) FpML Location Codes

For convenience, certain terms are mapped to their 

FpML 5.5 equivalent.

Definition of USD-SOFR-COMPOUND

From and after the date on which ISDA publishes a supplement to ISDA 2006 containing a definition of USDSOFR-COMPOUND, per ISDA 2006.

Prior to such date:

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND” means that the rate for a Reset Date, calculated in accordance with the 

formula set forth below in this subparagraph, will be the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment (it 

being understood that the reference rate for the calculation of interest is SOFR). Upon the occurrence of a USDSOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on or after the 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR were 

references to the rate (inclusive of any spreads or adjustments) formally designated, nominated or recommended as 

the replacement for SOFR by the Federal Reserve Board or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the 

Federal Reserve Board for purposes of designating, nominating or recommending a replacement for SOFR (which 

rate may be produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or another administrator). If no such rate is 

formally designated, nominated or recommended within one U.S. Government Securities Business Day of the USDSOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on or after the 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR were 

references to OBFR. If at the time of the USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, publication of OBFR 

has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued, it has been publicly announced that OBFR will be permanently 

or indefinitely discontinued as of a specific date or there has been a public statement by a regulator or other official 

sector entity prohibiting the use of OBFR (which statement applies to, but need not be limited to, Swap 

Transactions, including existing Swap Transactions), then the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on 

or after the USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR 

were references to the FOMC Target Rate.

that day as published on or about 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day 

immediately following that day “i”. If, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the U.S. Government Securities 

Business Day immediately following any day “i”, SOFR in respect of such day “i” has not been published and a 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event has not occurred, then SOFRi for that day “i” will be SOFR as

time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR; 

(b) the publication of information which reasonably confirms that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a 

successor administrator of SOFR) has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR permanently or indefinitely, 

provided that, at that time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR; or

(c) a public statement by a regulator or other official sector entity prohibiting the use of SOFR that applies to, but 

need not be limited to, Swap Transactions, including existing Swap Transactions;

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of a USD-SOFRCOMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the date on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor 

administrator of SOFR) ceases to publish SOFR or the date as of which SOFR may no longer be used; and

“OBFR” is the daily Overnight Bank Funding Rate as provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,

additional such polls until four such quotations are obtained in 

any poll; provided that the Calculation Agent shall not conduct

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers equity index swaps (each, an “Equity Index 

Swap”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an Equity Index Swap may be 

traded are shown below or in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of the 

other locations, so long as there is at least one location in 

which payment may be made.

For these purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default ” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

Equity Index Variance Swaps

Terms and Conditions

Summary/Contract Description: This covers equity index variance swaps (each, an 

“Equity Index Variance Swap”). An Equity Index 

Variance Swap is a product used to hedge or take a direct 

view on the volatility of an underlying equity index by 

paying or receiving an amount based on the difference 

between the actual realized variance of an index over the 

life of the contract and the variance strike price agreed at 

contract inception.

Product Type/ISDA OTC Taxonomy:

ISDA OTC Asset Class: Equity

ISDA OTC Base Product: Swap

ISDA OTC Sub-Product: Parameter Return Variance

ISDA OTC Transaction type: Single Index

Available Underlying Indices: The index specified by the parties from among the 

indices listed in the table below titled “Equity Index 

Variance Swap Available Indices.”

Contract Size: The contracts are quoted in “Vega” amounts. The 

minimum contract size is 1,000 of the currency of which 

the underlying index settles in.

Quoting Convention: The contracts are quoted in volatility percentage points.

Leg Conventions: Floating Leg Rate – The realized variance rate that is 

calculated on the Expiration Date.

Fixed Leg Rate – The agreed fixed rate of variance 

(Traded Price).

Tenor: Tenors of any duration greater than 0 years and less than 

50 years.

Trade Types: Capped – the maximum payout of the contract is capped 

at an agreed price.

Uncapped – there is no maximum payout on the contract.

Trade Start Types: Immediate – the observation period of the contract

begins on the Trade Date.

Forward – the observation period of the contract begins 

on an agreed-upon date after the Trade Date.

Trade Date: The date on which the contract is entered into.

Observation Start Date: The Trade Date or, in the case of a forward starting 

transaction, an agreed-upon date after the Trade Date.

Valuation Date: The date upon which the final rate of volatility will be 

calculated on using the “Applicable Formula” below.

Settlement: The contracts are cash settled. If the difference between 

the realized variance and the “Variance Strike” (as 

agreed by the parties) is positive the seller pays the 
Equity Index Variance Swaps

94

difference to the buyer. If the difference between the 

realized variance and the Variance Strike is negative the 

buyer pays the difference to the seller.

Settlement of the contract occurs after the Valuation

Date and in line with the settlement convention of the 

underlying equity index.

Settlement Payments/Payment Date: T+2 (adjustments according to following business day 

convention).

Minimum Price or Incremental Price: The contracts are quoted in volatility percentage points. 

There is no minimum price or minimum incremental 

price for the contract.

Payment Frequency: One time.

Payment Exchange: The buyer of a variance swap pays a fixed rate (the 

Variance Strike) in exchange for a payout based on the 

daily realized variance.

The seller of a variance swap receives a fixed rate (the 

Variance Strike) in exchange for a payout based on the 

daily realized variance.

Day Count: Business Days Per Year = 252

Business Day Convention: Following business day convention.

Applicable Formula: The final realized rate of variance will be calculated 

using the following formula:

100x√

252 × ∑ (Return(i))

2 n

i=1

N

Where:

Return(i) = ln(

Indexi

Indexi−1

)

n = the number of observations excluding the initial 

observation on the Observation Start Date, but including 

the Valuation Date;

i = the relevant observation day;

Indexi = the closing level of the underlying index “i” 

business days from the Observation Start Date, except 

for (i) Index0 which shall equal the initial index level, 

and (ii) Indexn which shall equal the closing level of the 

underlying index on the Valuation Date. Indexi-1 will be 

modified by deducting the dividend in case it is an exdate.

If applicable, the volatility cap will be set at 2.5x the 

Volatility Strike.

N = Expected number of observations as agreed by the 

parties.

ln = the natural logarithm.

Market Disruption: As specified by the parties.

Summary: This covers equity index volatility swaps (each, an 

“Equity Index Volatility Swap”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an Equity Index Volatility Swap 

may be traded are shown below or in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of the 

other locations, so long as there is at least one location in 

which payment may be made.

For these purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. 

These are shown as “Default ” and will apply unless the 

parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. 

Since each national market has its own peculiarities, the 

“Available Terms” and/or “Default Terms” may vary by 

currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). 

In that case the default settings may vary by market.

Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaps

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers uncleared fixed for floating interest rate 

swaps (“Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swap

(Uncleared)”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which a Fixed for Floating Interest Rate 

Swap (Uncleared) contract may be traded are as 

specified in these terms and conditions or in the attached 

tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made. For these 

purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default ” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: This contract description incorporates by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) ISDA Settlement Matrix (if Optional Early 

Termination applies)

(c) ISDA OTC Taxonomies

Definition of USD-SOFR-COMPOUND

From and after the date on which ISDA publishes a supplement to ISDA 2006 containing a definition of USDSOFR-COMPOUND, per ISDA 2006

Prior to such date:

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND” means that the rate for a Reset Date, calculated in accordance with the 

formula set forth below in this subparagraph, will be the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment (it 

being understood that the reference rate for the calculation of interest is SOFR). Upon the occurrence of a USDSOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on or after the 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR were 

references to the rate (inclusive of any spreads or adjustments) formally designated, nominated or recommended as 

the replacement for SOFR by the Federal Reserve Board or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the 

Federal Reserve Board for purposes of designating, nominating or recommending a replacement for SOFR (which 

rate may be produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or another administrator). If no such rate is 

formally designated, nominated or recommended within one U.S. Government Securities Business Day of the USDSOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on or after the 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR were 

references to OBFR. If at the time of the USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, publication of OBFR 

has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued, it has been publicly announced that OBFR will be permanently 

or indefinitely discontinued as of a specific date or there has been a public statement by a regulator or other official 

sector entity prohibiting the use of OBFR (which statement applies to, but need not be limited to, Swap 

Transactions, including existing Swap Transactions), then the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on 

or after the USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR 

were references to the FOMC Target Rate.

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND” will be calculated as follows, and the resulting percentage will be rounded, if 

necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in Section 8.1(a):

[∏(1+

SOFRi × ni

360 )

do

i=1

-1] ×

360

d

where:

“d0”, for any Calculation Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the 

relevant Calculation Period;

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d0, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities 

Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the 

relevant Calculation Period;

“SOFR” is the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New 

York, as the administrator of the benchmark, (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve’s Website;

“SOFRi”, for any day “i” in the relevant Calculation Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of 

that day as published on or about 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day 

immediately following that day “i”. If, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the U.S. Government Securities 

Business Day immediately following any day “i”, SOFR in respect of such day “i” has not been published and a 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event has not occurred, then SOFRi for that day “i” will be SOFR as 

published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published 

on the Federal Reserve’s Website;

 “ni” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Calculation Period on which the rate is SOFRi; 
Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaps

126

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Calculation Period;

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following 

events:

(d) a public statement by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of SOFR) 

announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at that 

time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR; 

(e) the publication of information which reasonably confirms that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a 

successor administrator of SOFR) has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR permanently or indefinitely, 

provided that, at that time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR; or

(f) a public statement by a regulator or other official sector entity prohibiting the use of SOFR that applies to, but 

need not be limited to, Swap Transactions, including existing Swap Transactions;

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of a USD-SOFRCOMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the date on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor 

administrator of SOFR) ceases to publish SOFR or the date as of which SOFR may no longer be used; and

“OBFR” is the daily Overnight Bank Funding Rate as provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 

as the administrator of the benchmark, (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve’s Website.

“FOMC Target Rate” is the short-term interest rate target set by the Federal Open Markets Committee and published 

on the Federal Reserve’s Website or, if the Federal Open Markets Committee does not target a single rate, the midpoint of the short-term interest rate target range set by the Federal Open Markets Committee and published on the 

Federal Reserve’s Website (calculated as the arithmetic average of the upper bound of the target range and the lower 

bound of the target range, rounded, if necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in Section 8.1(c))

“Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at 

http://www.federalreserve.gov, or any Successor Source.

Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaptions

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers fixed for floating interest rate swaptions

(“Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaptions”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which a Fixed for Floating Interest Rate 

Swaption may be traded are as specified in these terms 

and conditions and in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made.

For these purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. 

These are shown as “Default ” and will apply unless the 

parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. 

Since each national market has its own peculiarities, the 

“Available Terms” and/or “Default Terms” may vary by 

currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). 

In that case the default settings may vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: This contract description incorporates by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) ISDA Settlement Matrix (if Optional Early 

Termination applies)

(c) ISDA OTC Taxonomies

(d) FpML Location Codes

For convenience, certain terms are mapped to their 

FpML 5.5 equivalent.

Forward Rate Agreements (Uncleared)

145

Forward Rate Agreements (Uncleared)

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers uncleared forward rate agreements 

(“Forward Rate Agreements” or “FRAs”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an FRA may be traded are as 

specified in these terms and conditions and in the 

attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made. For these 

purposes “TARGET”/EUTA is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or 

“Default Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: These terms and conditions incorporate by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) ISDA OTC Taxonomies

(c) FpML Location Codes

For convenience, certain terms are mapped to their 

FpML 5.2.4 equivalent.

iBoxx Index Swaps

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers iBoxx index swaps (each, an “iBoxx Index 

Swap”) on a bilateral basis.

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an iBoxx Index Swap may be 

traded are shown below and in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency and any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of the 

other locations, so long as there is at least one location in 

which payment may be made.

For these purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default ” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: This contract description incorporates by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) the iBoxx Index Transaction Standard Terms 

Supplement (current version or as specified by the 

parties) (“iBoxx STS”)

For convenience, certain terms are mapped to their 

FpML 5.5 equivalent.

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made. For these 

purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(b) ISDA Settlement Matrix (if Optional Early 

Termination applies)

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers “Natural Gas Date/Instrument Spread Contracts”. 

A natural-gas date/instrument spread contract is a cash-settled agreement

between two counterparties whereby one counterparty agrees to pay a

floating amount to the other counterparty on a given date, and then

receive a different floating amount from the other counterparty on a 

different, later date.

The difference between the two floating amounts is the spread, which is 

the quoted price for the contract.

The floating amounts are based on the notional quantity traded and the

price of natural gas a stated hub published by one of a series of industry.

Publication Sources: • CGPR—Canadian Gas Price Reporter

• Gas Daily—Platt’s Gas Daily’s Daily Report

• IFERC—Platt’s Inside FERC Gas Market Reporter

• NGI—Natural Gas Intelligence’s Bidweek Survey

The floating amount can be based on the price for a given period in a 

given issue of the publication source (e.g., monthly based on the first 

issue of the month) or an average of prices (e.g., average of weekly 

bid prices for each weekly issue), as agreed by the parties.

Summary: This covers “Natural Gas – Financial Basis Swap Contracts”. 

A natural gas financial basis swap contract is a cash settled agreement between two 

counterparties whereby one counterparty agrees to pay a floating amount to the 

other counterparty on a given date(s), which floating amount is calculated based on 

the reported price for natural gas at a given hub, and in exchange, the second 

counterparty will pay a floating amount to the first counterparty on the same given 

date(s) based on the maturity price of a natural gas futures contract tied to a 

different hub. 

The floating amounts paid are determined based on the notional quantity and, in the 

case of the first floating amount, the price of natural gas a stated hub published by 

one of a series of industry publications and, in the case of the second floating 

amount, an applicable futures contract based on the reference commodity.

Summary: This covers “Natural Gas – Swing Swap Contracts”. 

A natural gas swing swap contract is a cash settled agreement between two 

counterparties whereby one counterparty agrees to pay a floating amount to the 

other counterparty on a given date(s), which floating amount is calculated 

based on the daily reported price for natural gas at a given hub, and in

counterparty on the same given date(s) based on the price at the same hub 

reported for a different period (e.g., weekly or monthly). 

The floating amounts paid are determined based on the notional quantity and, 

in the case of the first floating amount, the daily price of natural gas a stated 

hub published by one of a series of industry publications and, in the case of the 

second floating amount, a price of natural gas the same hub published with 

respect to a different periodicity.

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers basis swaps (“Basis Swaps”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which a Basis Swap may be traded are 

as specified in these terms and conditions and in the 

attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made. For these 

purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

Definition of USD-SOFR-COMPOUND

From and after the date on which ISDA publishes a supplement to ISDA 2006 containing a definition of USDSOFR-COMPOUND, per ISDA 2006.

Prior to such date:

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND” means that the rate for a Reset Date, calculated in accordance with the 

formula set forth below in this subparagraph, will be the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment (it 

being understood that the reference rate for the calculation of interest is SOFR). Upon the occurrence of a USDSOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on or after the 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR were 

references to the rate (inclusive of any spreads or adjustments) formally designated, nominated or recommended as 

the replacement for SOFR by the Federal Reserve Board or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the 

Federal Reserve Board for purposes of designating, nominating or recommending a replacement for SOFR (which 

rate may be produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or another administrator). If no such rate is 

formally designated, nominated or recommended within one U.S. Government Securities Business Day of the USDSOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on or after the 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR were 

references to OBFR. If at the time of the USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, publication of OBFR 

has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued, it has been publicly announced that OBFR will be permanently 

or indefinitely discontinued as of a specific date or there has been a public statement by a regulator or other official 

sector entity prohibiting the use of OBFR (which statement applies to, but need not be limited to, Swap 

Transactions, including existing Swap Transactions), then the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on 

or after the USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR 

were references to the FOMC Target Rate.

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND” will be calculated as follows, and the resulting percentage will be rounded, if 

necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in Section 8.1(a):

where:

“d0”, for any Calculation Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the 

relevant Calculation Period;

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d0, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities 

Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the 

relevant Calculation Period;

“SOFR” is the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New 

York, as the administrator of the benchmark, (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve’s Website;

“SOFRi”, for any day “i” in the relevant Calculation Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of 

that day as published on or about 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day 

immediately following that day “i”. If, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the U.S. Government Securities 

Business Day immediately following any day “i”, SOFR in respect of such day “i” has not been published and a 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event has not occurred, then SOFRi for that day “i” will be SOFR as 
Basis Swaps

28

published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published 

on the Federal Reserve’s Website;

 “ni” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Calculation Period on which the rate is SOFRi; 

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Calculation Period;

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following 

events:

(a) a public statement by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of SOFR) announcing 

that it has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at that time, there is 

no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR; 

(b) the publication of information which reasonably confirms that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a 

successor administrator of SOFR) has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR permanently or indefinitely, 

provided that, at that time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR; or

(c) a public statement by a regulator or other official sector entity prohibiting the use of SOFR that applies to, but 

need not be limited to, Swap Transactions, including existing Swap Transactions;

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of a USD-SOFRCOMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the date on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor 

administrator of SOFR) ceases to publish SOFR or the date as of which SOFR may no longer be used; and

“OBFR” is the daily Overnight Bank Funding Rate as provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as 

the administrator of the benchmark, (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve’s Website.

“FOMC Target Rate” is the short-term interest rate target set by the Federal Open Markets Committee and published 

on the Federal Reserve’s Website or, if the Federal Open Markets Committee does not target a single rate, the midpoint of the short-term interest rate target range set by the Federal Open Markets Committee and published on the 

Federal Reserve’s Website (calculated as the arithmetic average of the upper bound of the target range and the lower 

bound of the target range, rounded, if necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in Section 8.1(c))

“Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at 

http://www.federalreserve.gov, or any Successor Source.

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers equity index swaps (each, an “Equity Index 

Swap”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an Equity Index Swap may be 

traded are shown below or in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of the 

other locations, so long as there is at least one location in 

which payment may be made.

For these purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default ” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

following industry standard documentation and

Terms and Conditions

Summary/Contract Description: This covers equity index variance swaps (each, an 

“Equity Index Variance Swap”). An Equity Index 

Variance Swap is a product used to hedge or take a direct 

view on the volatility of an underlying equity index by 

paying or receiving an amount based on the difference 

between the actual realized variance of an index over the 

life of the contract and the variance strike price agreed at 

contract inception.

Product Type/ISDA OTC Taxonomy:

ISDA OTC Asset Class: Equity

ISDA OTC Base Product: Swap

ISDA OTC Sub-Product: Parameter Return Variance

ISDA OTC Transaction type: Single Index

Available Underlying Indices: The index specified by the parties from among the 

indices listed in the table below titled “Equity Index 

Variance Swap Available Indices.”

Contract Size: The contracts are quoted in “Vega” amounts. The 

minimum contract size is 1,000 of the currency of which 

the underlying index settles in.

Quoting Convention: The contracts are quoted in volatility percentage points.

Leg Conventions: Floating Leg Rate – The realized variance rate that is 

calculated on the Expiration Date.

Fixed Leg Rate – The agreed fixed rate of variance 

(Traded Price).

Tenor: Tenors of any duration greater than 0 years and less than 

50 years.

Trade Types: Capped – the maximum payout of the contract is capped 

at an agreed price.

Uncapped – there is no maximum payout on the contract.

Trade Start Types: Immediate – the observation period of the contract 

begins on the Trade Date.

Forward – the observation period of the contract begins 

on an agreed-upon date after the Trade Date.

Trade Date: The date on which the contract is entered into.

Observation Start Date: The Trade Date or, in the case of a forward starting 

transaction, an agreed-upon date after the Trade Date.

Valuation Date: The date upon which the final rate of volatility will be 

calculated on using the “Applicable Formula” below.

Settlement: The contracts are cash settled. If the difference between 

the realized variance and the “Variance Strike” (as 

agreed by the parties) is positive the seller pays the 
Equity Index Variance Swaps

95

difference to the buyer. If the difference between the 

realized variance and the Variance Strike is negative the 

buyer pays the difference to the seller.

Settlement of the contract occurs after the Valuation 

Date and in line with the settlement convention of the 

underlying equity index.

Settlement Payments/Payment Date: T+2 (adjustments according to following business day 

convention).

Minimum Price or Incremental Price: The contracts are quoted in volatility percentage points. 

There is no minimum price or minimum incremental 

price for the contract.

Payment Frequency: One time.

Payment Exchange: The buyer of a variance swap pays a fixed rate (the 

Variance Strike) in exchange for a payout based on the 

daily realized variance.

The seller of a variance swap receives a fixed rate (the 

Variance Strike) in exchange for a payout based on the 

daily realized variance.

Day Count: Business Days Per Year = 252

Business Day Convention: Following business day convention.

Applicable Formula: The final realized rate of variance will be calculated 

using the following formula:

Where:

n = the number of observations excluding the initial 

observation on the Observation Start Date, but including 

the Valuation Date;

i = the relevant observation day;

Indexi = the closing level of the underlying index “i” 

business days from the Observation Start Date, except 

for (i) Index0 which shall equal the initial index level, 

and (ii) Indexn which shall equal the closing level of the 

underlying index on the Valuation Date. Indexi-1 will be 

modified by deducting the dividend in case it is an exdate.

If applicable, the volatility cap will be set at 2.5x the 

Volatility Strike.

N = Expected number of observations as agreed by the 

parties.

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers equity index volatility swaps (each, an 

“Equity Index Volatility Swap”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an Equity Index Volatility Swap 

may be traded are shown below or in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of the 

other locations, so long as there is at least one location in 

which payment may be made.

For these purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact.

These are shown as “Default ” and will apply unless the 

parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. 

Since each national market has its own peculiarities, the 

“Available Terms” and/or “Default Terms” may vary by 

currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). 

In that case the default settings may vary by market.

Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaps

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers uncleared fixed for floating interest rate 

swaps (“Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swap 

(Uncleared)”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which a Fixed for Floating Interest Rate 

Swap (Uncleared) contract may be traded are as 

specified in these terms and conditions or in the attached 

tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made. For these 

purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default ” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: This contract description incorporates by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) ISDA Settlement Matrix (if Optional Early 

Termination applies)

not be taken into account.

If for any Reset Date there is no published Overnight CDI Rate 

(including as a result of the proviso above), CDI for the relevant 

Reset Date will be the overnight deposit rate published for such 

date by the BM&F in accordance with its rules (see 

http://www.bmf.com.br/portal/pages/boletim1/bd_manual/indica 

doreFinanceiros1.asp, or any successor page). 

If the BM&F does not publish such a rate for such date, CDI for 

the relevant Reset Date shall be determined jointly by the 

parties. 

If the parties do not agree on a determination of such rate within 

one Brazil Business Day following the relevant Reset Date, CDI 

shall be determined through a CDI Reference Dealer Poll as 

described herein. 

If CDI for a Reset Date is not so determined by a CDI Reference 

Dealer Poll, BRL-CDI-Reference Dealers shall apply.

BRL-CDI-Reference Dealers: If applicable for a Reset Date as set forth above, the Calculation 

Agent shall conduct up to four dealer polls commencing on the 

Brazil Business Day following the relevant Reset Date, in each 

case by requesting each of the CDI Reference Dealers to 

provide a quotation of the CDI. 

If at least four such quotations are obtained from CDI Reference 

Dealers in any such poll, the highest and lowest quotations will 

be disregarded and CDI for the relevant Reset Date will equal 

the arithmetic mean of the remaining quotations. 

If fewer than four such quotations are obtained from a poll, the 

Calculation Agent shall conduct additional such polls until four 

such quotations are obtained in any poll; provided that the 

Calculation Agent shall not conduct more than four polls in the 

aggregate (with not more than two polls on any day and with 

such polls conducted over not more than two Brazil Business 

Days). 

If four quotations are not obtained from any of such four polls, 

CDI shall CDI shall not be determined by a CDI Reference 

Dealer Poll.

CDI Reference Dealers: At least six and not more than eight leading onshore dealers in 

the CDI market selected by the Calculation Agent.

Reset Dates (“resetDate”): Each Scheduled Reset Date (as defined in the BRL CDI Best 

Practices).

Reset Dates Business Days: As specified by the parties from among the Available BR 

Business Days.

Available BR Business Days: Any of BR{SP,RJ, BR} and not otherwise declared a financial 

market holiday by the BM&F.

Definition of USD-SOFR-COMPOUND

From and after the date on which ISDA publishes a supplement to ISDA 2006 containing a definition of USD-
Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaps

126

SOFR-COMPOUND, per ISDA 2006

Prior to such date:

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND” means that the rate for a Reset Date, calculated in accordance with the 

formula set forth below in this subparagraph, will be the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment (it 

being understood that the reference rate for the calculation of interest is SOFR). Upon the occurrence of a USDSOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on or after the 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR were 

references to the rate (inclusive of any spreads or adjustments) formally designated, nominated or recommended as 

the replacement for SOFR by the Federal Reserve Board or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the 

Federal Reserve Board for purposes of designating, nominating or recommending a replacement for SOFR (which 

rate may be produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or another administrator). If no such rate is 

formally designated, nominated or recommended within one U.S. Government Securities Business Day of the USDSOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on or after the 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR were 

references to OBFR. If at the time of the USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event, publication of OBFR 

has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued, it has been publicly announced that OBFR will be permanently 

or indefinitely discontinued as of a specific date or there has been a public statement by a regulator or other official 

sector entity prohibiting the use of OBFR (which statement applies to, but need not be limited to, Swap 

Transactions, including existing Swap Transactions), then the rate for each day in a Calculation Period occurring on 

or after the USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date will be determined as if references to SOFR 

were references to the FOMC Target Rate.

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND” will be calculated as follows, and the resulting percentage will be rounded, if 

necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in Section 8.1(a):

where:

“d0”, for any Calculation Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the 

relevant Calculation Period;

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d0, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities 

Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the 

relevant Calculation Period;

“SOFR” is the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New 

York, as the administrator of the benchmark, (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve’s Website;

“SOFRi”, for any day “i” in the relevant Calculation Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of 

that day as published on or about 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day 

immediately following that day “i”. If, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the U.S. Government Securities 

Business Day immediately following any day “i”, SOFR in respect of such day “i” has not been published and a 

USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event has not occurred, then SOFRi for that day “i” will be SOFR as 

published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published 

on the Federal Reserve’s Website;

 “ni” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Calculation Period on which the rate is SOFRi; 

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Calculation Period;
Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaps

127

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following 

events:

(d) a public statement by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of SOFR) announcing 

that it has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at that time, there is 

no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR; 

(e) the publication of information which reasonably confirms that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a 

successor administrator of SOFR) has ceased or will cease to provide SOFR permanently or indefinitely, 

provided that, at that time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR; or

(f) a public statement by a regulator or other official sector entity prohibiting the use of SOFR that applies to, but 

need not be limited to, Swap Transactions, including existing Swap Transactions;

“USD-SOFR-COMPOUND Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of a USD-SOFRCOMPOUND Index Cessation Event, the date on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor 

administrator of SOFR) ceases to publish SOFR or the date as of which SOFR may no longer be used; and

“OBFR” is the daily Overnight Bank Funding Rate as provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as 

the administrator of the benchmark, (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve’s Website.

“FOMC Target Rate” is the short-term interest rate target set by the Federal Open Markets Committee and published 

on the Federal Reserve’s Website or, if the Federal Open Markets Committee does not target a single rate, the midpoint of the short-term interest rate target range set by the Federal Open Markets Committee and published on the 

Federal Reserve’s Website (calculated as the arithmetic average of the upper bound of the target range and the lower

bound of the target range, rounded, if necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in Section 8.1(c))

“Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at 

http://www.federalreserve.gov, or any Successor Source.

Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaptions

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers fixed for floating interest rate swaptions 

(“Fixed for Floating Interest Rate Swaptions”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which a Fixed for Floating Interest Rate 

Swaption may be traded are as specified in these terms 

and conditions and in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made.

For these purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. 

These are shown as “Default ” and will apply unless the 

parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. 

Since each national market has its own peculiarities, the 

“Available Terms” and/or “Default Terms” may vary by 

currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). 

In that case the default settings may vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: This contract description incorporates by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) ISDA Settlement Matrix (if Optional Early 

Termination applies)

(c) ISDA OTC Taxonomies

Forward Rate Agreements (Uncleared)

146

Forward Rate Agreements (Uncleared)

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers uncleared forward rate agreements 

(“Forward Rate Agreements” or “FRAs”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an FRA may be traded are as 

specified in these terms and conditions and in the 

attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made. For these 

purposes “TARGET”/EUTA is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on 

which the parties will transact. These are shown as 

“Default” and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or 

“Default Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded 

(e.g., London versus NY). In that case the default 

settings may vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: These terms and conditions incorporate by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) ISDA OTC Taxonomies

(c) FpML Location Codes

For convenience, certain terms are mapped to their 

FpML 5.2.4 equivalent.

iBoxx Index Swaps

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers iBoxx index swaps (each, an “iBoxx Index 

Swap”) on a bilateral basis.

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an iBoxx Index Swap may be 

traded are shown below and in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency and any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of the 

other locations, so long as there is at least one location in 

which payment may be made.

For these purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default ” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: This contract description incorporates by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) the iBoxx Index Transaction Standard Terms

Interest Rate Caps/Floors

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers interest rate caps and floors (“Interest Rate 

Caps/Floors”).

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which an Interest Rate Cap/Floor may 

be traded are as specified in these terms and conditions 

and in the attached tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations 

specified for the relevant currency, any additional 

locations specified for the relevant Floating Rate 

Options.

The parties may add additional locations from the 

Available Locations and may eliminate some or all of 

the other locations, so long as there is at least one 

location in which payment may be made. For these 

purposes “TARGET” is considered a location.

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. These are shown as “Default” 

and will apply unless the parties vary them.

It should be noted that these contracts can be traded in a 

variety of currencies. Since each national market has its 

own peculiarities, the “Available Terms” and/or “Default 

Terms” may vary by currency.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). In that case the default settings may 

vary by market.

Incorporated Standards: This contract description incorporates by reference the 

following industry standard documentation and 

standards:

(a) 2006 ISDA Definitions

(b) ISDA Settlement Matrix (if Optional Early 

Termination applies)

(c) ISDA OTC Taxonomies

(d) FpML Location Codes

For convenience, certain terms are mapped to their 

FpML 5.5 equivalent.

Natural Gas Date/Instrument Spread Contracts

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers “Natural Gas Date/Instrument Spread Contracts”. 

A natural-gas date/instrument spread contract is a cash-settled agreement

between two counterparties whereby one counterparty agrees to pay a

floating amount to the other counterparty on a given date, and then

receive a different floating amount from the other counterparty on a 

different, later date.

The difference between the two floating amounts is the spread, which is 

the quoted price for the contract.

The floating amounts are based on the notional quantity traded and the

price of natural gas a stated hub published by one of a series of industry.

Publication Sources: • CGPR—Canadian Gas Price Reporter

• Gas Daily—Platt’s Gas Daily’s Daily Report

• IFERC—Platt’s Inside FERC Gas Market Reporter

• NGI—Natural Gas Intelligence’s Bidweek Survey

The floating amount can be based on the price for a given period in a 

given issue of the publication source (e.g., monthly based on the first 

issue of the month) or an average of prices (e.g., average of weekly 

bid prices for each weekly issue), as agreed by the parties.

Natural Gas – Financial Basis Swap Contracts

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers “Natural Gas – Financial Basis Swap Contracts”. 

A natural gas financial basis swap contract is a cash settled agreement between two 

counterparties whereby one counterparty agrees to pay a floating amount to the 

other counterparty on a given date(s), which floating amount is calculated based on 

the reported price for natural gas at a given hub, and in exchange, the second 

counterparty will pay a floating amount to the first counterparty on the same given 

date(s) based on the maturity price of a natural gas futures contract tied to a 

different hub. 

The floating amounts paid are determined based on the notional quantity and, in the 

case of the first floating amount, the price of natural gas a stated hub published by 

one of a series of industry publications and, in the case of the second floating 

amount, an applicable futures contract based on the reference commodity.

USD Equity Basket Swap (Broad Based)

Terms and Conditions

Summary: This covers equity total-return swaps on broad-based 

baskets of equities traded in USD. 

For purposes of relevant CFTC and SEC regulations, 

such basket shall be on a broad-based index.

Limitations on Available Selections and Default 

Settings:

The terms under which USD Equity Basket Swap (Broad 

Based) may be traded are shown below or in the attached 

tables.

For amounts or rates, the relevant term cannot be less 

than the specified Minimum, must represent an even 

Increment and cannot exceed the Maximum; for a date, 

the date cannot be earlier than Earliest nor later than 

Latest.

For Business Days, the defaults shall be the locations

In many cases there are normal “vanilla” terms on which 

the parties will transact. 

These are shown as “Default ” and will apply unless the 

parties vary them.

In some cases, the same contract might have different 

terms depending on the market in which it is traded (e.g., 

London versus NY). 

In that case the default settings may vary by market.
