2016 VM CSA Anatomy™


In a Nutshell Section 1:

1 Interpretation
1(a) Definitions and Inconsistency. Capitalised terms not otherwise defined are defined in Paragraph 10. This Annex prevails over the Schedule, and Paragraph 11 prevails over the rest of this Annex. “Transfer” means, for cash, payment and, otherwise, delivery.
1(b) Scope of this Annex and the Other CSA: Only Covered Transactions specified in Paragraph 11 will count towards “Exposure” under this Annex. Any Other CSA is therefore amended to exclude the Covered Transactions (and this Annex itself) from its “Exposure” calculation. Except where Credit Support Offsets applies, this Annex will not affect the parties’ initial margin obligations on Covered Transactions documented under any Other CSA.

2016 VM CSA full text of Section 1:

1. Interpretation
1(a) Definitions and Inconsistency. Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this Annex or elsewhere in this Agreement have the meanings specified pursuant to Paragraph 10, and all references in this Annex to Paragraphs are to Paragraphs of this Annex. In the event of any inconsistency between this Annex and the other provisions of this Schedule, this Annex will prevail, and in the event of any inconsistency between Paragraph 11 and the other provisions of this Annex, Paragraph 11 will prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, references to “transfer” in this Annex mean, in relation to cash, payment and, in relation to other assets, delivery.
1(b) Scope of this Annex and the Other CSA: The only Transactions which will be relevant for the purposes of determining “Exposure” under this Annex will be the Covered Transactions specified in Paragraph 11. Each Other CSA, if any, is hereby amended such that the Transactions that will be relevant for purposes of determining “Exposure” thereunder, if any, will exclude the Covered Transactions and the Transaction constituted by this Annex. Except as provided in Paragraph 9(h), nothing in this Annex will affect the rights and obligations, if any, of either party with respect to “independent amounts” or initial margin under each Other CSA, if any, with respect to Transactions that are Covered Transactions.
