A clause which states the bleeding obvious, as you will know if you’ve read our article on money, and then invites the counterparties to agree an interest rate in the Annex.

Note the difference here between Interest on Cash Margin under Clause 4(f) — set out in the Annex, and for those counterparties with alert legal eagles, likely to be SONIA (for sterling), EONIA (for euro) and Fed Funds Effective (for dollars), i.e. no longer that ghastly pariah LIBOR — and default interest under Clause 10(f), which is hard-coded to be LIBOR.

Is that a huge problem? In the scheme of things probably not.
