Ijara

• Lease contains virtually the same provisions as a conventional lease

• Sharia’a requires ownership risk in leased asset to be retained by Lessor• Major maintenance – responsibility of Lessor• Loss or major damage i.e. insurable risks – responsibility of Lessor

18

Service Agreement – • Lessor appoints Lessee as agent to undertaken major maintenance, insurance etc

on behalf of Lessor• Service Fee payable to Lessee for being agent and costs incurred but Lease has

Additional Rent provision for an equal amount• Must be separate agreement to Lease – segregation of roles allowing termination

of Service Agreement at any time whilst Lease continues

Termination Values – • Instead of NPV of future rental asset can be sold to Lessee at pre agreed prices

depending on timeframe• Asset sold for that price whatever its condition of location – “as is where is”

Ijara Documentation

19

Purchase and Sale of MetalsSharia’a finance requires each party to carry risk in the transactionFor Murabaha that is evidenced by the metal trade

• Risk is associated with the risks of asset ownership i.e. the metals

2. Payment (spot)

6. Deferred payment plus

margin at maturity

3. Metal sold on deferred

payment basis

4. Sells metal as agent on behalf of client

Murabaha Structure

20

21

Familiar Provisions 80-90%• Purpose• Facility Limits• Conditions Precedent• Representations – capacity; authority, compliance etc.• Covenants – financial, negative pledges etc.• Events of Default – non payment, non performance, insolvency etc.

Security Documents – Virtually the same • Debenture• Legal Charges• Assignments

21

Murabaha Documentation

1. Utilisation Mechanism• Utilisation Notice – date money required, cost price (nominal amount),

promise to purchase metals

• Offer Notice (from BLME) – offer to sell metals for the Deferred Sale Price for payment on the Deferred Payment Date: includes pricing economics –

• Acceptance Notice – Accept the offer to purchase metals and in consequence accept the obligation to pay the Deferred Sale Price on the Deferred Payment Date

2. Voluntary Early Repayment• The Deferred Sale Price is a debt due on a specified date – it is not an accrual.

• Following receipt Bank makes a voluntary rebate of part of Deferred Sale

Price

• No formula for discounting, e.g. NPV as this equates to a recognition of “time value of money” which is prohibited under the Sharia’a

Murabaha Sharia’a Clauses

22

3. Sharia’a Representation• “Borrower” will not challenge the transaction on the basis of it being non Sharia’a

compliant

4. Late Payment• Instead of Default Interest for late payment a Late Payment Charge can be levied

calculated on basis of default rate, time and unpaid amount

• But Bank can only retain direct costs of late receipt and any surplus amount collected as Late Payment Charge is donated to charity

5. No Interest Allowed• “The Parties recognise and agree that the principle of the payment of interest in

relation to any Facility Document or otherwise is repugnant to Sharia‘a and accordingly, to the extent that any legal system would impose (whether by contract or by statute) any obligation to pay interest under this Agreement or any Facility Document, the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally expressly waive and reject any entitlement to recover interest from each other.”
