Interest Amount (VM)” means with respect to an Interest Period, the aggregate sum of the Base Currency Equivalents of the amounts of interest determined for each relevant currency and calculated for each day in that Interest Period on the portion of the Credit Support Balance (VM) comprised of cash in such currency, determined by the Valuation Agent for each such day as follows:

(i) the amount of cash in such currency on that day plus, only if “Daily Interest Compounding” is specified as applicable in Paragraph 11(g)(iii), the aggregate of each Interest Amount (VM) determined for each preceding day, if any, in that Interest Period; multiplied by
(ii) the relevant Interest Rate (VM) in effect for that day; divided by
(iii) 360 (or, in the case of pounds sterling or any other currency specified as an “A/365 Currency” in Paragraph 11(g)(i), 365),

provided that, unless “Negative Interest” is specified as applicable in Paragraph 11(g)(iii), if the Interest Amount (VM) for an Interest Period would be a negative amount, it will be deemed to be zero.
