Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of this issue.</font></div>

Indemnification
      of Directors and Officers
Under the Canada Business Corporations
Act, a corporation may indemnify a present or former director or officer of such
corporation or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation's request
as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of
another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount
paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the
individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or
other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association
with the corporation or other entity, provided that the following conditions are
met (i) the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to
the best interests of the corporation or the other entity, and, (ii) in the case
of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a
monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual's
conduct was lawful.  Such indemnification may be made in connection
with a derivative action only with court approval.  A director or
officer is entitled to indemnification from the corporation as a matter of right
in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the
individual in connection with the defense of a civil, criminal, administrative
investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of
the individual's association with the corporation or other entity if the
individual was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have
committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have
done and if the individual fulfilled the conditions set forth
above.
A policy
of directors' and officers' liability insurance is maintained by the Registrant
which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims based upon
the acts or omissions as directors and officers of the Registrant, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and also reimburses the Registrant
for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the Securities
Act.

Undertakings
(
a) The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
(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, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; and
(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,
that
      the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not
      apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
      amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by
      the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
      that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
      Statement;
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of this issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly
caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada,
on this June 9, 2008.
