===Rehypothecation in the {{{{{1}}}}}===
This is the classic part of your [[security interest]] {{{{{1}}}}} that converts it into a [[title transfer]] CSA, meaning — cough, as with much [[New York law]] frippery — that you might as well not bother with calling this a [[pledge]] or [[security interest]] in the first place.  
Paragraph {{{{{1}}}prov|6(c)}} is the classic part of your [[security interest]] {{{{{1}}}}} that converts it into a [[title transfer]] CSA, meaning — cough, as with much [[New York law]] frippery — that you might as well not bother with calling this a [[pledge]] or [[security interest]] in the first place.  


So I give my asset to you, right, carefully only [[Pledge|pledging]] it as [[Security interest|security]] for my [[indebtedness]] to you, and protect myself from your [[credit risk]] because I ''retain [[beneficial ownership]]'' of the asset. It is mine, not yours, and should you explode into a thousand points of light, then, once I have settled my trading account with your administrator, I can have it back.

Note the odd coda: references to {{{{{1}}}prov|Posted Collateral}} etc — where, for the purposes of calculating your credit support posting obligations, you are [[deemed]] to still hold it, even though if you don’t — is in part an attempt to state the bleeding obvious: just because you’ve hocked the assets off to someone else doesn’t mean you don’t still have to account to your counterparty for their value in the long run — and, we think, a rather feeble attempt to avoid having to create an “{{vmcsaprov|Equivalent Credit Support}}” concept. Since you've sent the particular asset your counterparty gave you into the great wide open, the thing you'll be giving back will be [[Fungible|economically]], but not [[Ontological certainty|ontologically]], so in theory you don’t hasve to give back the ''exact same one'', even if it does have to be identical with it. Perhaps a concern in 1994, though since {{icds}} went full metal jacket on that enterprise in 1995 when crafting the {{csa}}, it is not like we don’t have suitable, road-tested — if a little anal — language to capture the idea of equivalence.
