F&F: It is a Credit Event

From Bloomberg:

Thirteen ``major'' dealers of credit-default swaps agreed ``unanimously'' that the rescue constitutes a credit event triggering payment or delivery of the companies' bonds, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association said in a memo obtained by Bloomberg News today.

So the CDS are triggered. What I urgently want to know is is this a termination event on the enormous portfolio of IRD that Fannie and Freddie have as hedges against prepayment risk. Remember these two are amongst the largest players in the interest rate derivatives market, mostly as buyers of convexity. I can't believe many people want an unwind so the situation should be manageable.

Update. Just in case you are not a regular reader of the components of the major credit indices, it is worth point out that Fannie and Freddie are both in the CDX.
