Interest Rate Swap Transactions Sample Clauses

Interest Rate Swap Transactions. The Fund can enter into interest rate swap agreements. In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party exchange their right to receive or their obligation to pay interest on a security. For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for fixed rate payments. The Fund can enter into swaps only on securities that it owns. The Fund will not enter into swaps with respect to more than 25% of its total assets. Also, the Fund will identify on its books liquid assets (such as cash or U.S. government securities) to cover any amounts it could owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed. Swap agreements entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There is a risk that, based on movements of interest rates in the future, the payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it received. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund's loss will consist of the net amount of contractual interest payments that the Fund has not yet received. The Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties to the Fund's interest rate swap transactions on an ongoing basis. The Fund can enter into swap transactions with certain counterparties pursuant to master netting agreements. A master netting agreement provides that all swaps done between the Fund and that counterparty shall be regarded as parts of an integral agreement. If amounts are payable on a particular date in the same currency in respect of one or more swap transactions, the amount payable on that date in that currency shall be the net amount. In addition, the master netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults generally or on one swap, the counterparty can terminate all of the swaps with that party. Under these agreements, if a default results in a loss to one party, the measure of that party's damages is calculated by reference to the average cost of a replacement swap for each swap. It is measured by the xxxx-to-market value at the time of the termination of each swap. The gains and losses on all swaps are then netted, and the result is the counterparty's gain or loss on termination. The termination of all swaps and the netting of gains and losses on termination are generally referred to as "aggregation." |_| Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments.

Interest Rate Swap Transactions. In order to seek to hedge the value of the Fund against interest rate fluctuations, to hedge against increases in the Fund's costs associated with the dividend payments on any preferred shares, including the VRDP Shares, or to seek to increase the Fund's return, the Fund may enter into interest rate swap transactions such as Municipal Market Data AAA Cash Curve swaps ("MMD Swaps") or Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index swaps ("SIFMA Swaps"). To the extent that the Fund enters into these transactions, the Fund expects to do so primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio as a duration management technique or to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date. The Fund may enter into these transactions primarily as a hedge or for duration or risk management rather than as a speculative investment. However, the Fund also may invest in MMD Swaps and SIFMA Swaps to seek to enhance return or gain or to increase the Fund's yield, for example, during periods of steep interest rate yield curves (i.e., wide differences between short term and long term interest rates). The Fund may purchase and sell SIFMA Swaps in the SIFMA swap market. In a SIFMA Swap, the Fund exchanges with another party their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments linked to the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index). Because the underlying index is a tax-exempt index, SIFMA Swaps may reduce cross-market risks incurred by the Fund and increase the Fund's ability to hedge effectively. SIFMA Swaps are typically quoted for the entire yield curve, beginning with a seven day floating rate index out to 30 years. The duration of a SIFMA Swap is approximately equal to the duration of a fixed-rate municipal bond with the same attributes as the swap (e.g., coupon, maturity, call feature). The Fund may also purchase and sell MMD Swaps, also known as MMD rate locks. An MMD Swap permits the Fund to lock in a specified municipal interest rate for a portion of its portfolio to preserve a return on a particular investment or a portion of its portfolio as a duration management technique or to protect against any increase in the price of securities to be purchased at a later date. By using an MMD Swap, the Fund can create a synthetic long or short position, allowing the Fund to select the most attractive...

Interest Rate Swap Transactions. (a) This clause B3.3 applies to Interest Rate swap Risk Management Transactions. (b) On the Calculation Date in respect of each Calculation Period, we will determine the Floating Rate Payments and the Fixed Rate Payments, where applicable, payable on the relevant Payment Date, and as soon as reasonably practicable notify you of these amounts. (c) If the Confirmation specifies that it is an amortising Interest Rate swap, the Floating Rate Payments and the Fixed Rate Payments will be calculated by reference to its Notional Amount which reduces during the term of the transaction in the manner set out in the Confirmation. (d) Where there is a Fixed Rate Payer and a Floating Rate Payer on each Payment Date: (i) the Fixed Rate Payer must pay the Fixed Rate Payment to the Floating Rate Payer; and (ii) the Floating Rate Payer must pay the Floating Rate Payment to the Fixed Rate Payer. (e) Where there are two Floating Rate Payers, on each Payment Date, each Floating Rate Payer must pay the relevant Floating Rate Payment, as specified in the Confirmation, to the other Floating Rate Payer. (f) Where there are two Fixed Rate Payers, on each Payment Date, each Fixed Rate Payer must pay the relevant Fixed Rate Payment, as specified in the Confirmation, to the other Fixed Rate Payer.

  • Securities Contract; Swap Agreement The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

  • Swap Account (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of MASTR Second Lien Trust 2006-1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-1—Swap Account” (the “Swap Account”). Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested. The Swap Account shall be an asset of the Supplemental Interest Trust, but shall not be an asset of any REMIC. (b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall deposit into the Swap Account: (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any Swap Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement) from funds collected and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds and (ii) amounts received by the Trust Administrator from the Swap Administrator, for distribution in accordance with subsection (d) below, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid in respect of the Class SWAP-IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class SWAP-IO Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below). (c) For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Account shall be owned by the beneficial owners of the Class CE Certificates. (d) For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the regular interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a regular interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such Holders to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract. For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator shall treat such notional principal contract as having a value of $10,000 as of the Closing Date.

  • Fixed Interest Rates Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

  • Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments For federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Floating Rate Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account. For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator will account for payments to each Floating Rate Certificates as follows: each Floating Rate Certificate will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Swap Provider Fee), will be made by one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Floating Rate Certificate. The REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the Swap Notional Amount of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable solely from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Floating Rate Certificate.

  • Interest Rate Protection Agreements Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall enter into interest rate protection agreements (protecting against fluctuations in interest rates) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which agreements shall provide coverage in an amount equal to $100,000,000 and for a duration of at least two (2) years.
