Re: Tanker Freight Long Description

Mark,

Whether or not the mid-month to mid-month deals are likely, you should
probably ask Scott Moncrieff or Joe King to answer that question.

I was just suggesting the possibility... I do like the additional language
that covers deals shorter than one month

"Each calendar month during the term of the Transaction will be a
Determination Period; provided that, if the term of the Transaction is less
than one calendar month, the Determination Period shall be the term of the
Transaction."

Perhaps we should proceed with the current Product Description and worry
about the mid-month to mid-month description if/when we need it.

Homer -

The problem with the language you suggest is that it will be triggered by any
term that is longer than a month. As far as I know, we have never had a
product that went from mid-month to mid-month. Is that a real issue for us
here? We have language in a few products already that takes care of the
second issue (deals shorter than one month):

Each calendar month during the term of the Transaction will be a
Determination Period; provided that, if the term of the Transaction is less
than one calendar month, the Determination Period shall be the term of the
Transaction.

In some cases (e.g. power swaps), when the deal is for less than a month the
payment dates are modified to fall at the beginning of the following month
(rather than 5 days after the floating price is determinable). That is a
commercial call. Just let me know how you want to handle that issue.

If mid-month to mid-month deals are likely, let me know and I will come up
with alternative language.

Mark,

Looks good. The product description looks fine for copying the shipping
products that Scott Moncrieff is trading now in London.

I'm a little concerned about the line: "Each calendar month during the term
of the Transaction will be a Determination Period"...

Is it flexible enough in changing determination periods from mid-month to
mid-month?
As in June 15 to July 14 to represent a month? Or will that just be another
Long Description that we would have to draft for another product type?

Also, what if we wanted to break up the determination periods into smaller
increments than one month?
Let us say a 1-week or 2-week period instead of a full month.

May be something like:
"Each calendar month during the term of the Transaction will be a
Determination Period unless otherwise specified by the Effective Dates"

That's my two cents,
Homer
