The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all interest accruing thereon.

2.2.2. Notes. At the request of the Lender, the Loans shall be evidenced by one or more Notes, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of the Lender in a face principal amount equal to the Loans and payable in such amounts and on such dates as are set forth herein.

Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Initial Loan for the period commencing on the Closing Date until the Initial Loan is Paid in Full at a rate per annum equal to 13.50% simple interest per annum.

In no event shall interest payable on the Loans by Borrower to the Lender hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, and if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, such provision shall be deemed modified to limit such interest to the maximum rate permitted under such law.

2.3.2. Interest Payments.

For the purposes of Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

2.3.5. Maximum Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Agent in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Agent of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Agent of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

(A)

first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(B)

thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

2.6.2. Application of Payments and Proceeds.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.4.3, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.2(b) below, each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be applied to such Obligations as Borrower shall direct by notice to be received by Agent on or before the date of such payment or, in the absence of such notice, as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Concurrently with each remittance to the Lender of its share of any such payment, Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.

(b) If an Event of Default or an Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be continuing, notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Agent shall apply all or any part of payments in respect of the Obligations and proceeds of Collateral, in each case as received by Agent, to the payment of the Obligations in the following order:

2.6.4. Set-off. Borrower agrees that Agent and the Lender and its Affiliates have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, Borrower agrees that at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent and the Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of Borrower hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of Borrower then or thereafter maintained with Agent or such Lender.

Section 3.

Yield Protection.

3.1. Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.1, all payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”), excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the Lender’s net income by the jurisdiction under which the Lender is organized or conducts business (other than business arising from the Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction with respect to the Loans or pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document), (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by Canada, or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction, in each case to the extent the applicable Lender is organized or has its applicable lending office in such jurisdiction, and (iii) in the case of any Foreign Lender, any Canadian withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for such Foreign Lender’s failure (other than as a result of a change in law, rule, regulation or treaty or in the administration, interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority) to provide any form or other certificate or other information required by the Borrower for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the withholding or imposition of the Tax, provided, that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender or otherwise impose a material burden on it (collectively, “Excluded Taxes” and all such non-Excluded Taxes, “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law (as determined in the good faith reasonable discretion of the Borrower or Agent), rule or regulation, then Borrower shall: (i) timely pay directly to the relevant taxing authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) within thirty (30) days after the date of any such payment of Taxes, forward to Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) in the case of Non-Excluded Taxes, pay to Agent for the account of the Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Lender will equal the full amount the Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction (including withholdings and deductions applicable to any additional sums payable under this Section 3.1) been required.

(b) Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 10 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Agent), Agent and the Lender for all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including any additional Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.1) paid by the Agent or the Lender, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or the Lender, and any liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including any penalty, interest or expense), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Agent or the Lender (or of the Agent on behalf of the Lender) claiming any compensation under this clause (c), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to the Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) [Reserved.]

The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of all Obligations.

3.2. Increased Cost.

(a) If, after the Closing Date, the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Lender; (ii) subject the Lender or Agent to any Taxes (other than Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 3.1); or (iii) shall impose on the Lender any other condition affecting its Loan, its Note or its obligation to make the Loan; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) through (iii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Lender of making or maintaining its Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then, upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrower shall pay directly to the Lender such additional amount as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or such reduction.

(b) If the Lender shall reasonably determine that any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption, phase-in or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by the Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount as will compensate the Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

3.3. Mitigation of Circumstances. The Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, any obligation by Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Section 3.3.

3.4. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival. Determinations and statements of the Lender pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3.2 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error provided that the Lender or the Agent provides Borrower with written notification of such determinations and statements. The Lender may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 3.1 or 3.2 and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

5.1. Organization. Borrower is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of British Columbia; each other Loan Party is validly existing and in good standing (as applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; and each Loan Party is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is required, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The “centre of main interests” (as that term is used in the Insolvency Regulation) of Merus Labs Luxco S.à x.x. is in Luxembourg, and Merus Labs Luxco S.à x.x has no “establishment” (as that term is used in the Insolvency Regulation) outside Luxembourg.

The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and by each of Borrower and each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party and each Asset Purchase Document to which it is a party, and the borrowings by Borrower hereunder, do not and will not (a) require any consent or approval of any governmental agency or authority (other than (i) any consent or approval which has been obtained and is in full force and effect, (ii) recordings and filings in connection with the Liens granted to the Agent under the Collateral Documents and (iii) with respect to Marketing Authorizations (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) to be obtained after the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement), (b) conflict with (i) any provision of applicable law, (ii) the charter, by-laws, limited liability company agreement, partnership agreement or other organizational documents of any Group Member or (iii) any agreement, indenture, instrument or other document, or any judgment, order or decree, which is binding upon any Group Member or any of their respective properties or (c) require, or result in, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Borrower or any other Group Member (other than Liens in favor of Agent created pursuant to the Collateral Documents).

5.3. Validity; Binding Nature. Each of this Agreement, each other Loan Document to which Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party and each Asset Purchase Document to which any Loan Party is a party is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

5.4. Financial Condition.

(a) The audited consolidated financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (presented on a consolidated basis) as at September 30, 2011, together with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (presented on a consolidated basis) as at March 31, 2012, copies of each of which have been delivered pursuant hereto, were prepared in accordance with IFRS (or, in the case of the audited financial statements for the periods ending on or prior to September 30, 0000, Xxxxxxxx XXXX) (subject, in the case of such unaudited statements, to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end adjustments) and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of such Persons as at such dates and the results of their operations for the periods then ended.

(b) The consolidated financial projections (including an operating budget and a cash flow budget) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period commencing June 30, 2012 through March 31, 2015 delivered to Agent and the Lender on or prior to the Closing Date and attached as Schedule 5.4 were: (i) prepared by Borrower in good faith; (ii) based upon current expectations regarding future events; and (iii) prepared in accordance with assumptions for which Borrower has a reasonable basis to believe as of the Closing Date, and the accompanying consolidated pro forma balance sheets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the Closing Date, adjusted to give effect to the consummation of the financing contemplated hereby as if such transactions had occurred on such date, is consistent in all material respects with such projections; with the recognition, however, that projections are inherently subject to varying degrees of uncertainty and their achievability, despite the reasonableness upon which they were prepared, depend upon the timing and probability of occurrence of a complex series of future events, both internal and external, certain of which are beyond Borrower’s control, and which may result in future costs, results of operations or outcomes that may be materially different from the projections attached as Schedule 5.4.

5.5. No Material Adverse Change. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.1.6, since September 30, 2011, there has been no event or occurrence that has or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

As of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.7 lists all of the real property owned, leased, subleased or otherwise owned or occupied by any Group Member.

5.8. Capitalization; Subsidiaries.

(a) Equity Interests. Schedule 5.8 sets forth a list, as of the Closing Date, of (i) all the Subsidiaries of Borrower and their jurisdictions of organization and (ii) the number of each class of its Stock and Stock Equivalents outstanding.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.8, as of the Closing Date no Group Member is engaged in any joint venture with any other Person.

(b) No Consent of Third Parties Required. No consent of any person including any other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary or reasonably desirable (from the perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority status of the security interest of the Agent in any Stock and Stock Equivalents pledged to the Agent for the benefit of the Lender under the Collateral Documents or the exercise by the Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in the Collateral Documents or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof.

Section 9.

Agent.

9.1. Appointment; Authorization.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.

9.2. Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.

9.3. Limited Liability. None of Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to the Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party.

9.4. Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent at any time upon 30 days’ prior notice to the Lender. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lender shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor agent for the Lender. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, on behalf after consulting with the Lender and (so long as no Event of Default exists) Borrower, a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lender shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time as the Lender shall appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

9.5. Collateral Matters. The Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lender; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by clause (d)(i) or (d)(ii) of Section 7.2 (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 7.1(b)). Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lender will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.5. The Agent shall have the right, in accordance with the Collateral Documents, to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and setoff the amount of such price against the Obligations.

Section 10.

Miscellaneous.

10.1. Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of Agent or the Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents (or any subordination and intercreditor agreement or other subordination provisions relating to any other Debt) shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and approved by the Agent and the Lender, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No provision of Section 9 or other provision of this Agreement affecting Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Agent.

All notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex II or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent to the Borrower by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received.

10.3. Computations. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in this Agreement (including in Section 7.13 or any related definition) shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with IFRS, and all financial computations (including pursuant to Section 7.13 and the related definitions, and with respect to the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense, or any consolidation or other accounting computation) hereunder shall be computed in accordance with IFRS consistently applied; provided that if Borrower notifies Agent that Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in Section 7.13 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change after the Closing Date in IFRS on the operation of such covenant (or if the Lender wishes to amend Section 7.13 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of IFRS in effect immediately before the relevant change in IFRS became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and the Lender. The explicit qualification of terms or computations by the phrase “in accordance with IFRS” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing.

10.4. Costs; Expenses. Each party shall bear its own costs (including Legal Costs) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration on or prior to the Closing Date (including perfection and protection of Collateral prior to and on the Closing Date) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. After the Closing Date, Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Agent and the Lender (including Legal Costs) in connection with the administration (including perfection and protection of Collateral subsequent to the Closing Date) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any proposed or actual amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by Agent and the Lender in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any such other documents. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Agent and the Lender harmless from all liability for, any fees of Borrower’s auditors in connection with any reasonable exercise by Agent and the Lender of their rights pursuant to Section 6.2. All Obligations provided for in this Section 10.4 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

10.5. Indemnification by Borrower. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Agent and the Lender and the agreement to extend the Commitments provided hereunder, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold Agent, the Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents of Agent and the Lender (each a “Lender Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), damages, fines, penalties and expenses, including Legal Costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by Lender Parties or asserted against the Lender Party by any Person (including in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by the Borrower, any other Group Member or any Lender Party) as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any repayment of Debt, tender offer, merger, purchase of Stock and Stock Equivalents, purchase of assets or other similar or dissimilar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the Loans, (b) the generation, use, handling, recycling, reclamation, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Substance at any property owned or leased by Borrower or any other Group Member, (c) any violation of or liability under any Environmental Laws or any Environmental Claim with respect to conditions at any property owned or leased by any Group Member or the operations conducted thereon, (d) the investigation, cleanup or remediation of offsite locations at which any Group Member or their respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly released or disposed of Hazardous Substances and any related Environmental Claims or (e) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Lender Party, except to the extent any such Indemnified Liabilities result from the applicable Lender Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. All Obligations provided for in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of this Agreement.

10.6. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor the Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent or the Lender, or Agent or the Lender enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent or the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation hereunder or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) the Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by Agent to the extent paid to such Lender.

10.7. Nonliability of the Lender. The relationship between Borrower on the one hand and the Lender and Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither Agent nor the Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibility to Borrower or any other Group Member. Neither Agent nor the Lender undertakes any responsibility to Borrower or any other Group Member to review or inform Borrower or any other Group Member of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s or any other Group Member’s business or operations. Execution of this Agreement by Borrower constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which Borrower may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor the Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or liabilities.

10.8. Anti-Money Laundering.

(a) Each Canadian Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” Laws, whether within Canada or elsewhere (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lender and the Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding each Canadian Loan Party, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of each Canadian Loan Party, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Canadian Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by the Lender or the Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of the Lender or the Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b) If the Agent has ascertained the identity of each Canadian Loan Party or any authorized signatories of each Canadian Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for the Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between the Lender and the Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii) shall provide to the Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, the Lender agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of each Canadian Loan Party or any authorized signatories of each Canadian Loan Party on behalf of the Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from each Canadian Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

10.9. Currency Indemnity. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice through its bankers. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Agent of the amount due, each Canadian Loan Party will, on the date of receipt by the Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the Agent is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Canadian Loan Party shall indemnify and save the Agent and the Lender harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency.

10.14. Severability.
