Each of the Seller and the K92 Parent confirms that it understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to the Loans based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. Each of the Seller and the K92 Parent irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Transaction Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Seller or the K92 Parent as required pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).
