Composition of Combined Consideration - Equity Derivatives Provision

Template:Eqderivanat The pedantrous may ask to remove references to the Calculation Agent’s sole discretion. Get your kicks — it’s doubtful that makes any difference: making a determination without specifically saying how you should do it implies you’ll make it up on the fly. What is your counter argument, when the calculation makes a determination you don’t like, meant to be.

“Oh! you used your discretion! you were supposed to ask me!”
“No I wasn’t.”
“Oh, yes you were!”
“Where does it say that?”

You know where this is heading, don’t you. Come on: let's go there, for old time’s sake.

“Where?” did I hear you say? I can scarce believe it.

Oh come on, where. You know where.
