3(a) Delivery Amount (IM). Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a Secured Party’s valid demand, if the Chargor’s Delivery Amount (IM) meets its Minimum Transfer Amount (IM), it must transfer to the Custodian (IM) Eligible Credit Support (IM) then equal in value to the Delivery Amount (IM). The “Delivery Amount (IM)” will be the amount by which the Chargor’s Credit Support Amount (IM) exceeds the prevailing Value of all Posted Credit Support (IM) held by the Secured Party (adjusted to include for any due but un-settled Delivery Amount (IM) or Return Amount (IM) as of the Calculation Date (IM)).
3(b) Return Amount (IM). Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon the Chargor’s demand following a Calculation Date (IM), if a Secured Party’s Return Amount (IM) is at least equal to its Minimum Transfer Amount (IM), it must instruct the Custodian (IM) to transfer Posted Credit Support (IM) to the Chargor per the Chargor’ demand having a Value equal to the (rounded) Return Amount (IM). The “Return Amount (IM)” for any Calculation Date (IM) will equal the amount by which:

(i) the prevailing Value of all Posted Credit Support (IM) the Secured Party holds (treating pending but unsettled Delivery Amount (IM)s and Return Amount (IM)s as not having been made)
exceeds
(ii) the Chargor’s Credit Support Amount (IM).

3(c) Margin Amount (IM); Margin Amount (IA); Margin Approach
3(c)(i) A Chargor’s “Margin Amount (IM)” on a Calculation Date (IM) is the Base Currency Equivalent of the total initial margin required for the Covered Transactions (IM) in question, under the Method used by the Regime specified in Paragraph 13.
3(c)(ii) A Chargor’s “Margin Amount (IA)” is the Base Currency Equivalent of all its Independent Amounts or equivalents (beyond any Margin Amount (IM) or Exposure) in any Other CSA in any other document, over any relevant thresholds the parties may have agreed but otherwise without deduction, all as determined under this Deed.
3(c)(iii) Margin Approach. Based on the “Margin Approach” specified in Paragraph 13 to govern the relationship between “Margin Amount (IM)” and “Margin Amount (IA)”, a Chargor’s “Credit Support Amount (IM)” on any Calculation Date (IM) will be:

(A) If “Distinct Margin Flow (IM) Approach” applies: Max [Margin Amount (IM) - Threshold (IM), 0], and the Chargor’s Margin Amount (IA) posting obligation under any Other CSA will not be affected in any way.
(B) If “Allocated Margin Flow (IM/IA) Approach” applies: Max [Margin Amount (IM) - Threshold (IM), 0] and its posting obligation for Margin Amount (IA) under any Other CSA will be reduced by that Credit Support Amount (IM) (subject to a minimum of zero).
(C) If “Greater of Margin Flow (IM/IA) Approach” applies: Max [Max [Margin Amount (IM) -Threshold (IM), Margin Amount (IA)], 0], and its posting obligation for Margin Amount (IA) under any Other CSA will be reduced to zero.
