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.
