Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Act") provides generally that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer against all costs, charges and expenses of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being a director or officer, where the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding enforced by a monetary penalty, the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. Where such an officer or director was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything he or she ought to have done, such officer or director is entitled to indemnification from the corporation for such
costs, charges and expenses which were reasonably incurred by the officer or director in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, investigative or other proceeding to which he or she was subject by reason of being a director or officer.
By-law No. 1 of the Registrant, approved by the Board of Directors on February 22, 2001 and confirmed by the shareholders of the Registrant on April 26, 2001, implements the indemnification provisions of the Act and reads, in part, as follows:
"SECTION 9.2
INDEMNITY
Subject to the limitations contained in the Act, the corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at the corporation's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any liability on behalf of the corporation or any such body corporate, 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 that person in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director of officer of the corporation or such body corporate, if:
(a)
such person 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, such person had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.
6
The corporation shall indemnify any person referred to above who fulfills the conditions contained in (a) and (b) above and who has been substantially successful on the merits in the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which such person is made a party by reason of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or body corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense of such action or proceeding.
The corporation may also indemnify such persons in such other circumstances as the Act or other applicable law permits or requires. Nothing in this by-law shall limit the right of any person entitled to indemnity to claim indemnity apart from the provisions of this by-law. The corporation is hereby authorized to execute agreements evidencing its indemnity in favour of the foregoing persons to the full extent permitted by law.
SECTION 9.3
INSURANCE
To the extent permitted by the Act and other applicable law, the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in Section 9.2 against such liability as the board of directors may determine."
The Act also provides specifically for the purchase of insurance by a corporation for the benefit of its directors and officers against liability incurred as such. Our directors and officers are covered by a group liability insurance policy.
Pursuant to indemnification agreements entered into with certain of its directors, the Registrant has agreed to indemnify and reimburse each such director for any injury, losses, liabilities, damages, charges, costs, expenses, fines or settlement amount reasonably incurred by any of them, including reasonable legal and other professional fees, (i) in connection with a claim, action, suit, application, litigation, charge, complaint, prosecution, assessment, reassessment, investigation, inquiry, hearing or other proceeding of any nature or kind whatsoever, whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise, made, asserted against or affecting such director or in which such director is required by law to participate or in which such director participates as the request of the Registrant or in which such director chooses to participate, if it relates to, arises from, or is based on such
individual's service as a director or officer of the Registrant or service as a director or officer of another entity at the request of the Registrant or (ii) otherwise related to, arising from or based on such individual's service as a director or officer of the Registrant or service as a director or officer of another entity at the request of the Registrant, except if such indemnification or reimbursement would be prohibited by the Act or any other applicable law.

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-
8
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) do not apply if 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 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.
(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 the 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 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.
