Paragraph 10. Definitions
In this Annex:
Template:Nutshell 2016 CSA Base Currency
“Base Currency Equivalent” of an amount in a currency other than the Base Currency (the “Other Currency”) is the amount of Base Currency the Valuation Agent determines is needed to buy that Other Currency amount at the prevailing spot exchange rate on the Valuation Date.
A Transferor’s “Credit Support Balance (VM)” on a Valuation Date is the aggregate of all Eligible Credit Support (VM) that it has transferred to the Transferee (including any Distributions or redemption proceeds) as reduced by any Return Amounts transferred under Paragraph 2(b), exchanges made under Paragraph 3(c)(ii) or the default provisions under Paragraph 6 and as adjusted for interest accrual under Paragraph 5(c)(ii). Any Equivalent Distributions not transferred when due under Paragraph 5(c)(i) will form part of the Credit Support Balance (VM).

The “Value” 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 (Valuation Percentage – FX Haircut Percentage) (unless there has been a Default, in which case it will be just the Base Currency Equivalent of the amount in question). The Value of cash and securities in a Credit Support Balance that are not Eligible Credit Support at any time will be zero (also unless there has been a Default, in which case their Value will be determined as if they were Eligible Credit Support (VM)).
