Sorry - I don't know how I missed the question. In Awan they are call options, therefore they exercise if the exercise price is higher than the futures price. In Keshi they are put options, therefore they exercise if the exercise price is lower than the futures price. Which options they buy depends on whether they are borrowing or depositing. You need to watch the free lectures on interest rate risk management - I go through the rules and explain the reasons in the lectures.
