Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 160 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) provides that: (1) the Company may indemnify an individual who: (i) is or was a director or officer of the Company; (ii) is or was a director or officer of another corporation: (A) at a time when such other corporation is or was an affiliate of the Company; or (B) at the request of the Company; or (iii) at the request of the Company, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity, and his or her heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual, or an Eligible Person. Such indemnity may provide for indemnification against any judgment, penalty, fine or settlement paid in respect of a proceeding in which such individual, by reason being or having been an Eligible Person is or may be joined as a party, or is or may be liable for provided, (a) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation; and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. (2) In addition to the powers of the Company to indemnify under (1), a court may, on the application of the Company or an Eligible Party: (i) order the Company to indemnify an Eligible Party in the manner provided under (1); (ii) order the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by the Company; or (iii) order the Company to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by any person in obtaining an order for indemnification under this item (2). (3) An Eligible Person is entitled to indemnity from the Company in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defence of any proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being an Eligible Person, if the person seeking indemnity, (a) was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defence of the action or proceeding; and (b) fulfils the conditions set out in clauses (1)(a) and (b). (4) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an Eligible Party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the Eligible Party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the Company or an associated corporation.
In addition to limitations of liability pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and applicable law, the Articles provide that no director or officer of the Company shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or for any costs, charges or expenses of the Company resulting from any deficiency of title to any property acquired for or on behalf of the Company, or for the insufficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of the Company shall be invested, or for any loss or damage arising from bankruptcy or insolvency, or in respect of any tortious acts of or relating to the Company or any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or for any loss occasioned by an error of judgment or oversight on the part of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or for any other costs, charges or expenses of the Company occurring in connection with the execution of the duties of the director or officer, unless such costs, charges or expenses are incurred as a result of such person's own willful neglect, fraud or gross negligence. However, nothing in the Articles shall relieve any director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or from liability for any breach of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
The directors must cause the Company to indemnify and advance the reasonable expenses of its directors and former directors, and their respective heirs and personal or other legal representatives to the greatest extent permitted by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Each director is deemed to have contracted with the Company on such terms of indemnify. We expect to purchase directors' and officers' liability insurance for the members of the board of directors and certain other officers, substantially in line with that purchased by similarly situated companies.
Each director is also a party to an indemnification agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company has agreed, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law and promptly upon demand, to indemnify and hold harmless such director, his heirs and legal representatives from and against (i) all costs, charges and expenses incurred by such director in respect of any claim, demand, suit, action, proceeding or investigation in which such director is involved or is subject by reason of being or having been a director and (ii) all liabilities, damages, costs,
2
charges and expenses whatsoever that the director may sustain or incur as a result of serving as a director in respect of any act, matter, deed or thing whatsoever made, done, committed, permitted or acquiesced in by such director in his capacity as a director, whether before or after the effective date of such indemnification agreement.

Item 9. 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;
(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; 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission 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 Section 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
4
been advised that in the opinion of the 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 such issue.
