An observation one might make here is that if you have a cash-only CSA and as long as you only accept the Major Currencies, then this entire Rube Goldberg provision is unnecessary: The Valuation Percentage will (most likely) be 100%, the FX Haircut Percentage will be zero, so the definition of value that these definitions feed into amounts to the following:

The amount (call it n) multiplied by the sum of 100% minus zero%, or

n * (100% - 0%), or

n * 100%, or

n.

Sigh.
