as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may

pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.</FONT></DIV>

Indemnification
      of Directors and Officers
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors
and
officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by
reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or
agent to the company. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that §145 is
not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
As
permitted by §145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Ninth article
of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides as follows:
NINTH:
The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of §145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same may be
amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power
to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses,
liabilities, or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and the
indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement,
vote of stockbrokers or disinterested directors or otherwise both as to action
in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, and administrators of such a person.
Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to
provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation
shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
As
permitted by §102 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Eighth article
of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides as follows:
EIGHTH:
The personal liability of the directors of the Corporation is hereby eliminated
to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of paragraph (7) of subsection
(b) of §102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same
may be amended and supplemented.

Item

Undertakings
(a)
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
      file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
      post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i)
To
      include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
      of 1933;
(ii)
To
      reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
      date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
      amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
      fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
      statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
      volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
      offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
      the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
      reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
      Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
      represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
      offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
      the effective registration statement.
(iii)
To
      include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
      not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
      change to such information in the registration statement; provided,
      however, paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
      registration statement is on Form S-3, or Form S-8 and the
      information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
      paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
      Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
      Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
      incorporated by reference in the registration
  statement.;
(2)
That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
      1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
      registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
      offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona
      fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To
      remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
      securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
      offering.
(b)
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona
fide
offering
thereof.
(c)
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of
Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, on April 11, 2005.
