The Clearinghouse determines which Securities are acceptable as Collateral, the criteria for valuing such Securities and the procedures to be followed by Participants for pledging Collateral. Paragraph 2. Direct Participants are always liable to the Clearinghouse for the pledging of Collateral. Article 53. The Collateral pledged by a Direct Participant to the Clearinghouse is intended to guarantee, pursuant to the rules and procedures herein set forth, the Participant s fulfillment of its Delivery or Payment obligations to the Clearinghouse, in the event the Participant breaches such obligations. 17
18 Article 54. The Clearinghouse may, at any time, require a Collateral Recomposition from any given Direct Participant, and suspend the Acceptance of new transactions involving an increase of its risk exposure to the Participant, as long as this requirement is not met. Sole paragraph. Collateral Recomposition is always required to be made in funds, which is a requirement that may be met through a deposit of Securities in those events and under the conditions established in the Clearinghouse Risk Management System and Procedures Manuals. Article 55. The Clearinghouse may, based on prudential reasons, limit its acceptance of certain Securities as Collateral or any given Participant s ability to deposit such Securities or use the rights appurtenant thereto for purposes of setting operational limits. SECTION II WITHDRAWAL OF COLLATERAL Article 56. Any Collateral pledged pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Rulebook which, at the discretion of the Clearinghouse, is unrelated to the Settlement of obligations may be transferred, at the Participant s request and always with the prior authorization of the Clearinghouse, from the latter s Collateral Account: (i) to such Participant-held accounts as indicated by the Participant; (ii) to other Clearinghouse accounts; or (iii) on the Participant s behalf to a Collateral Account in other clearing and settlement systems managed by BM&F. Paragraph 1. The Clearinghouse defines the procedures, as well as the criteria, for authorizing such withdrawals of Collateral as referred to in this article. Paragraph 2. In order to authorize any withdrawal of Collateral, the Clearinghouse determines, among other issues of a prudential nature, at its own discretion, any effects on the operational limit and on the set of Transactions under the Participant s responsibility. CHAPTER VIII SECURITIES DEPOSITED TO COVER TRANSACTIONS Article 57. Securities are deemed to be deposited to cover Transactions when they are: (i) for such purpose kept in the Clearinghouse Deposit Account until the deadline which the Clearinghouse has set for final processing of the Settlement of the corresponding Delivery obligation; or (ii) kept in the Clearinghouse Deposit Account, in order to cover SET Transactions. Paragraph 1. The making of a deposit to cover Transactions and the Acceptance of a Transaction for which Securities have been deposited under this article may alter the Participants limits pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Clearinghouse Risk Management System Manual. 18
19 Paragraph 2. The Clearinghouse Risk Management System Manual details the situations where the Collateral matches the Securities deposited in the Clearinghouse Deposit Account for Transaction coverage purposes. Article 58. While kept as a deposit pursuant to the provisions set forth in item (i) of the previous article, Securities shall, prorated to the quantities deposited, meet the Delivery obligations arising from Transactions accepted from the Direct Participant to the Clearinghouse and from the Securities Trading Participant to the Clearing Member. Paragraph 1. A Delivery obligation which is met pursuant to this article, while remaining as such, is not subject to Netting as referred to in Chapter X, and is terminated upon Gross Settlement. Paragraph 2. The Clearinghouse may, as provided for in its Risk Management System and Procedures Manuals, establish a priority order for obligations to be met as set forth in this article. Paragraph 3. Final processing of the Settlement of the Delivery obligation as set forth in this article takes place at such time as the Clearinghouse shall set which is comprised between the closing time for the Acceptance of Transactions with Settlement scheduled for that very date and the Settlement Window on the same date. Article 59. Securities deposited pursuant to the provisions set forth in items (i) and (iii) of article 50 may be withdrawn by the Participants or earmarked for other purposes, at their request, provided the requirements pertaining to risk management and the established operating procedures are met. CHAPTER IX TRANSACTIONS SECTION I GENERAL PROVISIONS Article 60. The following types of Securities Transactions, which are entered into the Clearinghouse systems pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Rulebook, may be subject to Acceptance, Netting and Settlement by the Clearinghouse: (i) same day or forward Purchase and Sale Transactions; (ii) Repo transactions; (iii) Loans; and (iv) Interchanges. Paragraph 1. The Settlement date of obligations pertaining to accepted Transactions cannot exceed the maturity date of any underlying Security. Paragraph 2. Obligations in funds derived from amounts paid by issuers as interest, amortization and redemption income from Securities traded in the Transactions may be settled through the Clearinghouse in the events referred to in this Rulebook or defined by BM&F in a Circular Letter. 19
20 Paragraph 3. In the event of an early redemption, by the issuer, of the total number of any given Security underlying Transactions with Settlement scheduled for a date later than the redemption date, or any other occurrence which may, at the discretion of the Clearinghouse, result in extraordinary difficulties or in the impossibility of the Participants or the Clearinghouse to meet future Delivery obligations of the Security, the Clearinghouse may, as regulated in the Procedures Manual or in Circular Letters and Communications from BM&F, provide for the adoption of exceptional measures and criteria, such as an earlier date for Settlement or for maturity of Transactions, as well as the cancellation of Transactions and of other obligations deriving therefrom, such as those involving intermediate interest payments. SECTION II ENTERING TRANSACTIONS INTO THE CLEARINGHOUSE SYSTEMS Article 61. Transactions subject to Acceptance by the Clearinghouse are entered into its systems through Trading or Registration Systems in observance of the rules applicable to each case. Sole paragraph. The Clearinghouse may set rules, procedures and specific control mechanisms to be observed by the Trading or Registration Systems, as well as require the Pre-Registration of certain Transactions. SECTION III ACCEPTANCE OF TRANSACTIONS Article 62. The Acceptance of any Transaction is conditional upon: (i) observance of the involved Participants limits in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Clearinghouse Risk Management System Manual; and (ii) adoption of all established operating procedures and conformity to all controls established in the Trading or Registration System used. Sole paragraph. Without prejudice to such procedures as adopted in exceptional situations, the analysis under item (i) of this article is conducted upon entry of the Transaction into the Clearinghouse. Article 63. The Clearinghouse takes the position of central counterparty for Settlement purposes of accepted Transactions, ensuring the settlement thereof pursuant to current legislation and the rules, procedures and criteria set forth in this Rulebook. Paragraph 1. The Acceptance of Repo Transactions comprises the Acceptance of both the purchase and sale Transaction and the Transaction pertaining to the corresponding resale and repurchase commitment. Paragraph 2. The Acceptance of Transactions which are subject to Pre- Registration is conditional upon all necessary requirements being met as established in this Rulebook and other applicable rules. Paragraph 3. The cancellation of any accepted Transaction, upon request by the involved Participants, before the Settlement of any of the corresponding 20
21 obligations is subject to the analysis and other provisions concerning risk set forth in the Clearinghouse Risk Management System Manual. When a cancellation is complied with by the Clearinghouse, it may change the operational limit of the involved Participants, including the Clearing Member of the Securities Trading Participant that has required this cancellation, in addition to causing the Clearinghouse to be no longer characterized as the central counterparty for Settlement purposes of any corresponding obligations. 21
