PART 3
PURCHASE AND SALE

3.1 Purchase and Sale of Newco Common Shares. Subject to the Merus Labs Closing Conditions and the Dacha Closing Conditions (each as hereinafter defined) and all other terms and conditions herein, Merus Labs agrees to purchase from Dacha and Dacha agrees to sell the Newco Common Shares to Merus Labs for the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) determined and paid for as follows:

(a) the Purchase Price will equal the amount of the Newco Closing Cash,

(b) as payment of the Purchase Price, Merus Labs will issue to Dacha on Closing a number of common shares of Merus (the “Merus Acquisition Shares”) determined based on the agreed value of the Merus Acquisition Shares of $1.70 per share (the “Agreed Market Value of the Merus Shares”) as follows:

	Merus Acquisition Shares =	Purchase Price
		$1.70 per Merus Acquisition Share

- 3 -

The Merus Acquisition Shares will not include any fractional shares. If the number of Merus Acquisition Shares pursuant to the formula above would otherwise include any fractional shares, the number of Mersu Acquisition Shares to be issued by Merus Labs will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Dacha acknowledges and agrees that the Agreed Market Value of the Merus Shares is not subject to adjustment, as originally contemplated in the Letter Agreement, as a result of the participation by Dacha in the bought deal offering of common shares of Merus at a price of $1.70 per share completed on June 19, 2014.

3.2 Takeover Bid Exemption. Merus Labs and Dacha agree that the Acquisition will be completed as an exempt takeover bid under Section 100.2 of the Securities Act (Ontario) and accordingly, (i) the Merus Acquisition Shares will be issued to Dacha in reliance on the exemption from the prospectus requirements of the Securities Act (Ontario) provided by Section 2.16 of National Instrument 45-106, and (ii) the first trade of the Merus Acquisition Shares will subject to Section 2.6 of National Instrument 45-102.

3.3 Effect of Acquisition. Upon Closing:

	(a)	Newco will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merus Labs, and

	(b)	Dacha will own the Merus Acquisition Shares.

3.4 Equity Participation Rights. Merus Labs agrees that Dacha will have the right and option during the period from the date of this Acquisition Agreement to the earlier of (i) the date of termination of this Acquisition Agreement (or, if the Acquisition Agreement is executed, the date of termination of the Acquisition Agreement) and (ii) the date the Acquisition is completed (the “Interim Period”), to participate in any equity financing undertaken by Merus Labs (a “Merus Equity Financing”) to an aggregate maximum of $1.0 million. A Merus Equity Financing for the purpose of this Acquisition Agreement will include any offering of common shares of Merus Labs, or any other security convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common shares of Merus Labs. Participation by Dacha in any such Merus Equity Financing will be on the same terms and at the same offering price as offered to other investors in the financing and will be conditional upon Dacha receiving all required regulatory approvals for its participation in the financing. Dacha will exercise such option within five (5) business days of receipt from Merus Labs of any written notice of offering that sets out the price and terms of such offering, or one (1) business day in the event of a bought deal offering.

3.5 Voting Agreements. Concurrent with and as a condition of execution of this Acquisition Agreement by Merus Labs, Dacha will secure and deliver to Merus Labs the agreement of its directors, officers, Salida Capital International Limited and Goodwood Inc., to vote their common shares of Dacha in favour of the Acquisition at the Meeting in the form of voting and support agreement attached hereto as Schedule C.

3.6 Transaction Structuring Fee. At the Closing, Merus Labs will pay to Dacha a transaction structuring fee (the “Structuring Fee”) equal to 3.5% of the aggregate value of the Merus Acquisition Shares based on the Agreed Market Value of the Merus Shares. The Structuring Fee will be paid by Merus Labs issuing to Dacha on Closing that number of common shares of Merus Labs (in addition to the Merus Acquisition Shares) equal to the Structuring Fee divided by the Agreed Market Value of the Merus Shares, rounded to the nearest whole number of Merus Shares (the “Merus Structuring Fee Shares”).

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification in Favour of the Merus Labs. Dacha will indemnify and save Merus Labs harmless of and from, and will pay for, any Damages up to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the Newco Closing Cash suffered by, imposed upon or asserted against it as a result of, in respect of, connection with, or arising out of, under or pursuant to:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Dacha in this Acquisition Agreement; or

- 9 -

(b) any failure of Dacha to perform or fulfill any of its covenants or obligations under this Acquisition Agreement.

9.2 Indemnification in Favour of Dacha. Merus Labs will indemnify and save Dacha harmless of and from, and will pay for, any Damages up to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the Newco Closing Cash suffered by, imposed upon or asserted against it as a result of, in respect of, connection with, or arising out of, under or pursuant to:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Merus Labs in this Acquisition Agreement; or

(b) any failure of Merus Labs to perform or fulfill any of its covenants or obligations under this Acquisition Agreement.

9.3 Third Party Claims. Promptly after the assertion by any Person of any Third Party Claim (a “Third Party Proceeding”) against any Person entitled to indemnification under this Acquisition Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) that results or may result in the incurrence by such Indemnitee of any Claim or Damages for which such Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Acquisition Agreement, such Indemnitee will promptly notify the Party from whom such indemnification is or may be sought (the “Indemnitor”) of such Third Party Proceeding. Such notice will also specify with reasonable detail (to the extent the information is reasonably available) the factual basis for the Third Party Proceeding, the amount claimed by the Person, or if such amount is not then determinable, a reasonable estimate of the likely amount of the Third Party Claim. The failure to promptly provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnitor of any obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee, except to the extent such failure prejudices the Indemnitor. Thereupon, the Indemnitor will have the right, upon written notice (the “Defence Notice”) to the Indemnitee within 30 days after receipt by the Indemnitor of notice of the Third Party Proceeding (or sooner if such Third Party Proceeding so requires) to conduct, at its own expense, the defence against the Third Party Proceeding in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Indemnitee. The Defence Notice will specify the counsel the Indemnitor will appoint to defend such Third Party Proceeding. Any Indemnitee will have the right to employ separate counsel in any Third Party Proceeding and/or to participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will not be included as part of any Losses incurred by the Indemnitee unless (i) the Indemnitor failed to give the Defence Notice, (ii) such Indemnitee has received an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor, to the effect that the interests of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor with respect to the Third Party Proceeding are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under applicable ethical rules, or (iii) the employment of such counsel at the expense of the Indemnitor has been specifically authorized by the Indemnitor. The Party or Parties conducting the defence of any Third Party Proceeding will keep the other Party apprised of all significant developments and will not enter into any settlement, compromise or consent to judgment with respect to such Third Party Proceeding unless the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
