  <P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><U>&nbsp;</U></P>
  <P style="margin:0pt" align=justify>Under the BCA, a company may indemnify a current or former officer or director against any judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in connection with, or amount paid in settlement of, any current, threatened, pending or completed legal proceeding or investigative action in respect of which such officer or director is a party or may be liable for a judgment, penalty, fine or expenses by reason of such individual having been an officer or director. </P>
  <P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
  <P style="margin:0pt" align=justify>A company may pay all expenses incurred by an officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding after the final disposition of such proceeding and must pay all expenses reasonably incurred if the officer or director is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding or wholly successful on the merits or otherwise. Among other circumstances, a company shall not indemnify a current or former officer or director if such individual did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company or, in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful. Further, a company cannot indemnify or cover the expenses of any officer or director in respect of any proceeding brought by or on behalf of the company or an associated corporation. The Supreme Court of British Columbia may, on the application of a corporation or individual seeking indemnification, order indemnification of any liability or expense incurred by such individual in respect of any proceeding described above, or make any other order the Court considers appropriate.</P>
  <P style="margin:0pt" align=justify><BR></P>
  <P style="margin:0pt" align=justify>Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant&#146;s Articles or any indemnification agreement, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed under the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.</P>

  Item 4. Description Of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  None.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Articles of the Registrant
  Article 21 provides for the mandatory indemnification of directors, former directors, and alternate directors, as well as his or hers heirs and legal personal representatives, or any other person, to the greatest extent permitted by the
  Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)
  (the "BCA"). The indemnification includes the mandatory payment of expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. The failure of a director, alternate director, or officer of the Registrant to comply with the BCA or the Registrant's Articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled. The directors may cause the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of eligible parties who:
  a)
  is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant;
  b)
  is or was a director, alternate director, officer employee or agent of a corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant;
  c)
  at the request of the Registrant, is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;
  d)
  at the request of the Registrant, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director, alternate director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;
  against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.
  BCA Indemnification
  Under the BCA, a company may indemnify a current or former officer or director against any judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in connection with, or amount paid in settlement of, any current, threatened, pending or completed legal proceeding or investigative action in respect of which such officer or director is a party or may be liable for a judgment, penalty, fine or expenses by reason of such individual having been an officer or director.
  A company may pay all expenses incurred by an officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding after the final disposition of such proceeding and must pay all expenses reasonably incurred if the officer or director is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding or wholly successful on the merits or otherwise. Among other circumstances, a company shall not indemnify a current or former officer or director if such individual did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company or, in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful. Further, a company cannot indemnify or cover the expenses of any officer or director in respect of any proceeding brought by or on behalf of the company or an associated corporation. The Supreme Court of British Columbia may, on the application of a corporation or individual seeking indemnification, order indemnification of any liability or expense incurred by such individual in respect of any proceeding described above, or make any other order the Court considers appropriate.
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant's Articles or any indemnification agreement, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed under 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 change in volume and price represents no more than 20% 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 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 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 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.
  (h)
  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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
  SIGNATURES
  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Vancouver, British Columbia on
  January 12, 2009
