4.Until the deadlines defined in paragraphs 1 and 2, and extended under paragraph 3, as applicable, where a CCP neither has a default fund nor has in place a binding arrangement with its clearing members that allows it to use all or part of the initial margin received from its clearing members as if they were pre-funded contributions, an institution shall substitute the right formula for calculating the own funds requirement (K i ) in Article 308(2) with the following one:
K_{i} = \left(1 + \beta \cdot \frac{\text{N}}{\text{N} - 2}\right) \cdot \frac{\mathrm{IM}_{i}}{\mathrm{IM}} \cdot \text{K}_{\text{CM}}
where
IMi = the initial margin posted to the CCP by clearing member i
IM = the total amount of initial margin communicated to the institution by the CCP.
