'''Why''': The {{eqderiv}} recognise that while most calculations could be performed by whoever is appointed {{eqderivprov|Calculation Agent}}, determination of a {{eqderivprov|Cancellation Amount}} is inextricably related to the [[hedge]] and — especially where there is a [[Market Disruption Event - Equity Derivatives Provision|disrupted market]] – this is best to be calculated by the one whose problem it is to unwind that hedge: namely, the {{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}}.

In theory (though almost never in practice<ref>If ''{{eqderivprov|Calculation Agent}} == [[Dealer]]'', and ''[[Dealer]] == {{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}}'', and ''{{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}} == {{eqderivprov|Determining Party}}'', then ''{{eqderivprov|Calculation Agent}} == {{eqderivprov|Determining Party}}''.</ref>) the {{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}} might not be the {{eqderivprov|Calculation Agent}}.

In theory, too, the {{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}} might not be named the {{eqderivprov|Determining Party}}. Which is kind of awkward, since the {{eqderivprov|Cancellation Amount}} is couched in terms of the cost to the determining Party of unwinding, liquidating or re-establishing its hedge — which it would only do if it was, like, ''[[hedging]]''.
