2. Apportionment of Clearing House First Loss Contribution and the Clearing House Intermediate Contribution across Contract Classes
2.1. Where there is a default in more than one Contract Class, the Clearing House intends to apportion the Clearing House First Loss Contribution and the Clearing House Intermediate Contribution between (a) OTCF Contracts and (b) ETD and NMC Contracts, in the proportion of Clearing Members' aggregate Clearing Fund Deposits and Further Assessment Amounts for (a) OTCF Contracts, relative to those for (b) ETD and NMC Contracts.
3. Apportionment of Clearing Fund Deposit and Further Assessment Amount of each Clearing Member across Contract Classes
3.1. Where there is a default, the Clearing House intends to apportion the Clearing Fund Deposit and Further Assessment Amount of each Clearing Member deposited in respect of OTCF Contracts to OTCF Contracts, and the Clearing Fund Deposit and Further Assessment Amount deposited in respect of ETD and NMC Contracts will be apportioned to ETD and NMC Contracts.
4. Further apportionment of Clearing House First Loss Contribution, Clearing House Intermediate Contribution, and Clearing Fund Deposit and Further Assessment Amount of each Clearing Member that is apportioned to OTCF Contracts across auctions
4.1. Where there is a default in OTCF Contracts, a separate auction will be held for each product group of OTCF Contracts. In that event, the Clearing House intends to apportion, across auctions, the part of the Clearing House First Loss Contribution, Clearing House Intermediate Contribution and Clearing Fund Deposit and Further Assessment Amount of each Clearing Member that is apportioned to OTCF Contracts. Such apportionment will be based on the relative risk4 of the defaulted Clearing Member in respect of each product group.
