To be endlessly compared and contrasted with a “[[determination agent]]”, who ''determines'' things on behalf of contracting counterparties. Do “calculation” and “determination” differ? Not as far as this correspondent can see. You tend to say, perversely, that a Calculation Agent ''determines'' things, and a Determination Agent ''calculates'' things, but largely because elegant prose has a horror of repetition. But will that stop [[legal eagle|over-enthusiastic members of the bar]] waxing lengthily about how they ''do'' differ? it will not.<ref>Pedants will note the different roles played by the {{eqderivprov|Calculation Agent}} and the {{eqderivprov|Determining Party}} in the {{eqdefs}}.</ref> | To be endlessly compared and contrasted with a “[[determination agent]]”, who ''determines'' things on behalf of contracting counterparties.
