In the event of the opening of safeguard, receivership or liquidation proceedings referred to in Book VI of the Commercial Code or any equivalent proceedings opened under foreign law against a member of a clearing house or any other event of default by that member, the clearing house may, ipso jure and without formality:
1° Transfer to another member deposits made with that member relating to positions taken by non-defaulting originators;
2° Transfer to another member the positions registered with it on behalf of the principals of that member and the deposits relating thereto;
3° Take any other action authorised by its operating rules to limit or eliminate the risks to which it is exposed, including, where applicable, the liquidation of assets and positions held by the defaulting clearing member on behalf of the originator.
Any surplus for which the clearing house is liable once it has completed the process of managing the default of the clearing member shall be returned without delay to the originators where they are known to the central counterparty or, if they are not, to the clearing member on behalf of its originators.
