  (ii)   For the purpose of cross-currency set-off, Y may convert either obligation at the applicable market exchange rate selected by Y on the relevant date.
 
  (iii)   If the amount of an obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that amount and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the amount of the obligation is ascertained.
