Hedge Agreements Clause Samples

A Hedge Agreements clause defines the terms under which parties may enter into financial contracts designed to manage or mitigate risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or commodity prices. This clause typically outlines the types of permissible hedging instruments, such as swaps, options, or forwards, and may specify requirements for counterparties or collateral. Its core practical function is to provide a framework for risk management, ensuring that both parties understand how financial exposures will be controlled and reducing uncertainty related to market volatility.
