A CCP shall maintain sufficient pre-funded available financial resources to cover potential losses that exceed the losses to be covered by margin requirements laid down in [Article 41](41.md) and the default fund as referred to in [Article 42](42.md). Such pre-funded financial resources shall include dedicated resources of the CCP, shall be freely available to the CCP and shall not be used to meet the capital required under [Article 16](16.md). 2. The default fund referred to in [Article 42](42.md) and the other financial resources referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall at all times enable the CCP to withstand the default of at least the two clearing members to which it has the largest exposures under extreme but plausible market conditions. 3. A CCP may require non-defaulting clearing members to provide additional funds in the event of a default of another clearing member. The clearing members of a CCP shall have limited exposures toward the CCP. ## Related Level 2 and Level 3 ### Guidance and Q&A - [ESMA Q&A 886 — Q&A — Limited exposures of Clearing Members \[Answer Published\]](../level-3/q-and-a/esma/esma-qa-886-limited-exposures-of-clearing-members.md) *** [Title IV — Requirements for CCPs](../titles/iv.md) · [← Article 42](42.md) · [Article 44 →](44.md)
