Overview: This paper derives a partial integro differential equation (PIDE) which relates the price of a calendar spread to the prices of butterfly spreads and the functions describing the evolution of the process. These evolution functions are the forward local variance rate and a new concept called the {\it forward local default arrival rate}. The paper then specializes to the case where the only jump which can occur reduces the underlying stock price by a fixed fraction of its pre-jump value. It discusses novel strategies for calibrating to a term and strike structure of European options prices.
