*Where the {{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}} can’t locate a stock borrow, the {{eqderivprov|Non-Hedging Party}} has the option to source one that is struck at less than the {{eqderivprov|Maximum Stock Loan Rate}} within two {{eqderivprov|Scheduled Trading Days}}, failing which the {{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}} can terminate the {{eqderivprov|Transaction}}.

*'''Synthetic PB''': For [[synthetic prime brokerage]], it is common for the [[PB]] to pass on its stock borrowing costs (well: it is a synthetic equivalent of a stock borrow and a short sale, after all, so this makes sense). It does this by subtracting the prevailing borrow rate from the floating rate it pays under the swap. Therefore the {{eqderivprov|Non-Hedging Party}} wears the ultimate cost of the expensive [[stock borrow]], so there’s no real need to impose a {{eqderivprov|Maximum Stock Loan Rate}} (though [[prime broker]]s will typically impose one as a matter of course).

'''Compare and contrast''' with {{eqderivprov|Increased Cost of Stock Borrow}}. There is a logical handoff and interaction between the two.
