• Where a Participant has a single Payment Facility with a Payment Provider and a Payment Funds Obligation is rejected by the Payment Provider as a part of the Aggregate Funds Obligation Process, will all obligations for the Participant will be re-scheduled through the Default Management Back-out Algorithm Process?

• Where a Participant has multiple Payment Facilities (e.g. Payment Facilities 'A', 'B' and 'C') associated with a Payment Provider, and a Payment Funds Obligation is rejected for a single Payment Facility (i.e Payment Facility 'A') as a part of the Aggregate Funds Obligation Process, will the Default Management Back-out Algorithm be applied to Payment Facilities 'B' and 'C' in order to re-calculate the funds for the remaining Payment Facilities?

• The Total Balance of a security holding on an Account (HIN) consists of the Available Balance, Holding Administration Lock balance, one or more collateral sub-positions, one or more Bid Election sub-positions and one or more Settlement Lock Balances. Are the Settlement Lock Balances being maintained separately for each Settlement Instruction?
