  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the &#147;ABCA&#148;), the Registrant may indemnify a present or former director or officer of
  the Registrant or a person who acts or acted at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s heirs and legal
  representatives (an &#147;Indemnified Party&#148;), against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the director or officer in respect of any civil, criminal,
  administrative, investigative or other action or proceeding in which the director or officer is involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or that body corporate, if the director or officer acted honestly and
  in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that the
  director&#146;s or officer&#146;s conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be in connection with an action by or on behalf of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor only with court approval. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The bylaws of the Registrant provide that, subject to section 124 of the ABCA, except in respect of an action by or on behalf of the
  Registrant or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a&nbsp;former director or officer of the Registrant or a person who acts or acted at the Registrant&#146;s
  request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action
  or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding (or, if permitted by the ABCA, any investigative action or proceeding) to which he or she is made a party by reason of
  being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or body corporate, if he or she (i)&nbsp;acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant (ii)&nbsp;and 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. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant may, subject to the approval of a Court (as defined in the ABCA), indemnify a person in respect of an action by or on behalf of
  the Registrant or a body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the Registrant or body corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses
  reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action if the person (i)&nbsp;acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant (ii)&nbsp;and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or
  proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s conduct was lawful. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Notwithstanding the above, a person shall be entitled to indemnity from the Registrant in respect of all costs, charges and expenses
  reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal administrative, investigative or other action or proceeding in which the person is involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the
  Registrant or body corporate, if the person seeking indemnity (i)&nbsp;was not judged by a court or competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the person ought to have done, (ii)&nbsp;acted honestly and in good
  faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant; (iii)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that his or
  her conduct was lawful. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&#8201;7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. </B></P>

  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(i) to include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(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; and </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(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 that information in the Registration Statement; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>provided, however</I>, 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&nbsp;13 or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
  incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(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. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
  Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
  by reference in 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.
  </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(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. </P>

  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "ABCA"), the Registrant may indemnify a present or 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, and the director's or officer's heirs and legal
  representatives (an "Indemnified Party"), against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the director or officer in respect of any civil, criminal,
  administrative, investigative or other action or proceeding in which the director or officer is involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or that body corporate, if the director or officer acted honestly and
  in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that the
  director's or officer's conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be in connection with an action by or on behalf of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor only with court approval.
  The bylaws of the Registrant provide that, subject to section 124 of the ABCA, except in respect of an action by or on behalf of the
  Registrant or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, 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, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action
  or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding (or, if permitted by the ABCA, any investigative action or proceeding) to which he or she is made a party by reason of
  being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or body corporate, if he or she (i) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant (ii) and 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.
  The Registrant may, subject to the approval of a Court (as defined in the ABCA), indemnify a person in respect of an action by or on behalf of
  the Registrant or a body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the Registrant or body corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses
  reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action if the person (i) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant (ii) and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or
  proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that the director's or officer's conduct was lawful.
  Notwithstanding the above, a person shall be entitled to indemnity from the Registrant in respect of all costs, charges and expenses
  reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal administrative, investigative or other action or proceeding in which the person is involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the
  Registrant or body corporate, if the person seeking indemnity (i) was not judged by a court or competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the person ought to have done, (ii) acted honestly and in good
  faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant; (iii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that his or
  her conduct was lawful.
  Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
  Not applicable.
  Item 8. Exhibits.
  See Index to Exhibits attached hereto.
  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 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; 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 that 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 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 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 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.
