Basically to add in the {{csaprov|FX Haircut Percentage}} into the multiplier, that being (in some jurisdictions) a fairly hefty surcharge for those people who like to collateralize in a currency other than the one in which their derivatives are denominated.
 
===="{{csaprov|Base Currency Equivalent}} of [[bid price]]"====
It is not unknown to amend limb (ii) to include "the {{csaprov|Base Currency Equivalent}} of the bid price obtained by the {{csaprov|Valuation Agent}} ''multiplied by the nominal amount of such security''".
 
This is presumably to cater for the pedantic argument — just the sort of argument that a diligent [[legal eagle]] with nothing better to do loves to run — that a “[[bid price]]” could be a percentage figure of a nominal amount, instead of a cash value, and this might upset the calculation. I mean, really.
 
But even if a “price” isn’t necessarily a cash amount — to be sure, trading folk do talk that way sometimes, even if most sensible working folk don’t — the idea of the “{{csaprov|Base Currency Equivalent}}” of that price certainly turns it into one. You can’t exactly have “USD 86%”, can you? And if the {{csaprov|Eligible Credit Support}} includes [[collateral]] other than [[cash]] or [[Debt security|debt instrument]]s (e.g., [[equities]]), reference to a nominal amount multiplier is potentially confusing.

Paragraph Value in a Nutshell

Use at your own risk, campers!
The “Value” (bearing in mind dispute provisions of Paragraph 4) of Eligible Credit Support on any Valuation Date is its Base Currency Equivalent, if cash, and, if securities, the Base Currency Equivalent of the bid price the Valuation Agent obtains, in each case multiplied by the relevant Valuation Percentage. The Value of cash and securities in a Credit Support Balance that are not Eligible Credit Support at any time will be zero.

Full text of Paragraph Value

Value” means, for any Valuation Date or other date for which Value is calculated, and subject to Paragraph 4 in the case of a dispute, with respect to:
(i) Eligible Credit Support comprised in a Credit Support Balance that is:
(A) an amount of cash, the Base Currency Equivalent of such amount multiplied by the applicable Valuation Percentage, if any; and
(B) a security, the Base Currency Equivalent of the bid price obtained by the Valuation Agent multiplied by the applicable Valuation Percentage, if any; and
(ii) items that are comprised in a Credit Support Balance and are not Eligible Credit Support, zero.
