A Central Counterparty (CCP) manages a member default. According to the standard 'default waterfall' architecture, which of the following is the LAST layer to absorb losses?

  1. The CCP's own pre-funded 'skin-in-the-game' capital contribution.
  2. The defaulting member's initial margin plus its own default fund contribution.
  3. The default fund contributions of the non-defaulting (surviving) members.
  4. The defaulting member's variation margin payments made to the CCP on that trading day.
