(c) Any proceeds, costs or expenses resulting from the above, including any costs or expenses incurred by CDP in connection with the force-sale, shall be accounted for and included in the losses suffered by CDP in connection with the Defaulting Clearing Member’s default.
(d) Where any of the securities are not force-sold by the seventh (7th) Settlement Day after an Event of Default is declared under Rule 8.1.2:
(i) CDP shall, on the next Settlement Day, take any purchase consideration paid by CDP for those securities as a loss suffered by CDP due to the Defaulting Clearing Member's default;
(ii) CDP shall thereafter have absolute discretion to deal with those securities as it deems appropriate;
(iii) any amount recovered by CDP shall be applied to make good any loss that was suffered by CDP due to the Defaulting Clearing Member's default and that was not met by the Clearing Fund; and
(iv) any amount that remains thereafter shall be credited to the Clearing Fund in accordance with Rule 7.12.
(e) CDP and its agents shall have no liability for any losses to the Defaulting Clearing Member arising from any force-sale or attempted force-sale, including the manner, time or price of any force-sale or attempted force-sale, of securities.
(3E) Where any obligations of the Defaulting Clearing Member to deliver securities in respect of Novated Contracts are not settled in accordance with 8.2.2(3A) or set off in accordance with Rule 8.2.2(3C):
(a) CDP shall be entitled (but not obliged) to acquire any or all of the securities that the Defaulting Clearing Member would have been obliged to deliver, to meet any obligation of CDP to deliver those securities.
(b) The Defaulting Clearing Member accepts that securities may be acquired in such manner (including through agents appointed by CDP), at such time and at such price as CDP or its agents may in their sole discretion deem appropriate, regardless of the due date for settlement of the Defaulting Clearing Members’ obligation(s).
(c) CDP reserves the right not to attempt any acquisition and to determine for how long, not exceeding seven (7) Settlement Days after an Event of Default is declared under Rule 8.1.2 unless otherwise determined, any acquisition will be attempted. If any securities are not acquired by such time as CDP determines, CDP shall, on the next Settlement Day, cash settle in accordance with these Clearing Rules its obligation to deliver those securities.
(d) Any costs or expenses resulting from the above, including any costs or expenses incurred by CDP in connection with the acquisition, shall be accounted for and included in the losses suffered by CDP in connection with the Defaulting Clearing Member’s default.
(e) CDP and its agents shall have no liability for any losses to the Defaulting Clearing Member arising from any acquisition or attempted acquisition, including the manner, time or price of any acquisition or attempted acquisition, of securities.
