A reference to any provision of the SFR (Financial and Margin Requirements) the aforesaid Rules as in force immediately before 29 December 2014 is to that provision in the SFR (Financial and Margin Requirements) as in force immediately before 3 April 2013. For avoidance of doubt, the definition of Base Capital applicable to a Transitional Clearing Member has the same meaning ascribed in the SFR(Financial and Margin Requirements) as in force on 3 April 2013.
