provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, 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.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Subsection 124(1) of the Canada Business Corporations Act permits and Section 7.02 of the
Registrant's General By-laws requires the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers,
former directors and officers, and persons who have acted at the Registrant's request as directors
or officers of another body corporate, 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
Table of Contents
individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other body
corporate, if (a) the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests
of the Registrant or the other body corporate, as the case may be, and (b) 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. Where the
conditions in (a) and (b) are met and the individual was not judged by a court or other competent
authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have
done, Subsection 124(5) of the Canada Business Corporations Act requires that the Registrant
indemnify the individual for all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred.
Subsection 124(4) of the Canada Business Corporations Act provides that the Registrant may,
with the approval of a court, indemnify a person referred to in Subsection 124(1) in respect of an
action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other body corporate referred to in Subsection 124(1)
to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party by reason of the
individual's association with the Registrant or other body corporate, against all costs, charges
and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action if (a) the
individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or
the other body corporate, as the case may be, and (b) 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.
Subsection 124(2) of the Canada Business Corporations Act and the Registrant's General
By-laws permit the Registrant to advance monies to an individual referred to in Subsection 124(1)
for costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to in Subsection 124(1) provided that the
individual must repay the moneys so advanced if the individual (a) did not act honestly and in good
faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or the other body corporate, as the case
may be, and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced
by a monetary penalty, did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the individual's conduct
was lawful.
The Canada Business Corporations Act permits and the Registrant has purchased and presently
maintains insurance on behalf of its officers and directors.

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 of
1933.
3
Table of Contents
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of this 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 this 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 and of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the SEC 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into this 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 Registrants' 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) that is incorporated by reference into this 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 or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, 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.
