*'''Demand Date not a {{csaprov|Local Business Day}}''': What if the Demand Date is not a {{{{{1}}}prov|Local Business Day}}? E.g., what if it is received after the {{{{{1}}}prov|Notification Time}} on a Friday, meaning the {{csaprov|Settlement Day}} takes place on the date on which a trade, effected on a Saturday, would have been settled in accordance with customary practice?
'''Demand Date not a {{csaprov|Local Business Day}}'''<br>
**'''Securities''': For securities this is ok: a trade effected on a non-business day would be deemed to be effected on the next following Local Business Day anyway, so it would pick this up.

*'''What happens to {{csaprov|Exposure}}s if the {{csaprov|Settlement Day}} is a long time after the Demand Date?''':<ref>As it may well be, under a {{csa}}, if the collateral is corporate [[bond]]s held in a [[clearing system]]</ref> Is the demand, if answered with irrevocable instructions to deliver, treated as having  been met, or does the {{{{{1}}}prov|Exposure}} stay outstanding until the collateral actually comes in? The answer (counterintuive, given that the {{{{{1}}}prov|Transferee}} remains subject to the [[credit exposure]] during this time) is YES, thanks to the definitions of {{{{{1}}}prov|Delivery Amount}} and {{{{{1}}}prov|Return Amount}}, both of which include the words:
