When the Calculation Agent is required to select dealers or a quotation for the purpose of making any calculation or determination, the Calculation Agent will make the selection in good faith after consultation with the other party (or the parties, if the Calculation Agent is a third party), if practicable, for the purpose of obtaining a representative price that will reasonably reflect conditions prevailing at the time in the relevant market. Furthermore, each party agrees that the Calculation Agent is not acting as a fiduciary for or as an advisor to such party in respect of its duties as Calculation Agent in connection with any Transaction.
