A system and method for providing an extendable swap is provided. In a
preferred embodiment, two parties enter into an ISDA Master Agreement and
then negotiate one or more OTC derivative transaction agreements,
including interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, commodity swaps,
equity swaps and/or currency swaps. The parties negotiate terms including
conditions precedent to the automatic extension of the extendable swap.
Where the condition(s) precedent are met at the end of a period, the
agreement automatically renews for another period (with the same terms),
up to a final termination date. Where the conditions precedent are not
met, the contract in not renewed, and the agreement terminates on the
relevant anniversary date. Such a swap enables a party to offer better
pricing due to period valuations and probabilities that are used to
calculate the price of the swap.
