      <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Under the <font style="font-style: italic;">Canada Business Corporations Act</font> (the &#8220;CBCA&#8221;), a corporation may indemnify a present or former director or
        officer of such corporation or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation&#8217;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, and the corporation may advance moneys to such individual for the costs, charges and expenses of any such proceeding.&#160; The corporation may not indemnify the individual, and any advance of moneys must be repaid by
        the individual, unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or
        in a similar capacity at the corporation&#8217;s request and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual&#8217;s conduct was
        lawful.&#160; Such indemnification and advances may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval.&#160; Such individual is entitled to indemnity from the corporation 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 by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or other entity
        as described above if the individual seeking indemnity 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 fulfils the
        conditions set forth above.</div>

      </div>
      <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">In accordance with and subject to the CBCA, the by-laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or
        officer of the Registrant or a person who acts or acted at the Registrant&#8217;s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any liability
        on behalf of the Registrant or at the Registrant&#8217;s request on behalf of any such body corporate), and such director or officer&#8217;s heirs and legal representatives, to the extent permitted by the CBCA, as set forth above, and without limit to the
        right of the Registrant to indemnify any person under the CBCA or otherwise, in connection with any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which such director or officer is made a party by reason of being or having been a
        director or officer, to the fullest extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act.&#160; Accordingly, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers providing such individuals with
        rights to indemnification and expense advancement to the fullest extent permitted under law.&#160; The Registrant also maintains directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; liability insurance which insures the Registrant&#8217;s directors and officers and our subsidiaries
        against certain losses resulting from any wrongful act committed in their official capacities for which they become obligated to pay to the extent permitted by applicable law.</div>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under the
Canada Business Corporations Act
(the "CBCA"), 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, and the corporation may advance moneys to such individual for the costs, charges and expenses of any such proceeding.  The corporation may not indemnify the individual, and any advance of moneys must be repaid by
        the individual, unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or
        in a similar capacity at the corporation's request and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual's conduct was
        lawful.  Such indemnification and advances may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval.  Such individual is entitled to indemnity from the corporation 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 by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or other entity
        as described above if the individual seeking indemnity 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 fulfils the
        conditions set forth above.
In accordance with and subject to the CBCA, the by-laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or
        officer of the Registrant or a person who acts or acted at the Registrant's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any liability
        on behalf of the Registrant or at the Registrant's request on behalf of any such body corporate), and such director or officer's heirs and legal representatives, to the extent permitted by the CBCA, as set forth above, and without limit to the
        right of the Registrant to indemnify any person under the CBCA or otherwise, in connection with any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which such director or officer is made a party by reason of being or having been a
        director or officer, to the fullest extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act.  Accordingly, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers providing such individuals with
        rights to indemnification and expense advancement to the fullest extent permitted under law.  The Registrant also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance which insures the Registrant's directors and officers and our subsidiaries
        against certain losses resulting from any wrongful act committed in their official capacities for which they become obligated to pay to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
        to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

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. 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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 the 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; and
(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.
3
(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
                    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.
