3.3

(d)

a written affirmation that, based on facts known to the Indemnified Party and in relation to the matter giving rise to the request for the Advance, the Indemnified Party in good faith believes that the Indemnified Party:

4.

Insurance

4.1

The Corporation represents to the Indemnified Party that, as of the date of this Agreement, the Corporation has an existing directors' and officers' liability insurance policy in full force and effect and that the Indemnified Party is included as an insured person under such policy.  

4.2

The Corporation shall from time to time make a good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Corporation to obtain or maintain such insurance coverage.  Among other considerations, the Corporation will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance against the protection afforded by such coverage.  If insurance is obtained, the Corporation agrees to use its best commercial efforts to maintain the Indemnified Party as an insured person under such policy with the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded the most favourably insured of the Corporation's directors and officers.

4.3

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Corporation determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premiums are too high or if the coverage provided is limited by exclusions so as to provide insufficient benefit.  The Corporation shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in the event that a determination is made not to continue to maintain such insurance or if a change is made in such policy which would have a material effect on the coverage available to the Indemnified Party.

- 5 -

4.4

The obligation of the Corporation to make payments to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement and the timing of such payments shall not be affected or reduced by any limitations, policy limits or deductible amounts contained in any insurance carried by the Corporation or whether the Corporation has in fact received payment from the insurer.

5.

Indemnification Procedures

5.1

If any Proceeding is brought or asserted against or involves the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Corporation of the nature and details of such Proceeding as soon as the Indemnified Party is notified of such Proceeding (provided that any failure to so notify promptly shall relieve the Corporation of liability under this Agreement only to the extent that such failure prejudices the ability to defend such claim).

5.2

If, at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Corporation has directors' and officers' liability insurance in effect, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.

5.3

The Corporation shall be entitled to assume the defence or representation of the Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding through legal counsel selected by the Corporation reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.  If any other similarly indemnified persons are also a party to, or involved in any such Proceeding, the Corporation may employ counsel to represent jointly the Indemnified Party and such other persons.  After retention of counsel by the Corporation, the Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any fees and expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that:

(a)

the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel at the Indemnified Party's own expense (which shall not qualify as Expenses); and

(b)

the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain his or her own counsel at the Corporation’s expense (which shall qualify as Expenses) if:   

(i)

the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party has been previously authorized by the Corporation,

(ii)

the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there is a potential conflict in the joint representation referred to above and such joint representation would be precluded under applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing in the jurisdiction in which such Proceedings are being conducted, or

- 6 -

(iii)

the Corporation shall not continue to retain counsel to assume the defence of such Proceedings.

If the Indemnified Party elects to retain counsel in any Proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, and any similarly indemnified persons are also a party to such Proceeding, the Indemnified Party, together with such other persons, will employ counsel to represent jointly the Indemnified Party and such other persons, unless the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that there is a potential conflict in such joint representation and such joint representation would be precluded under applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing in the jurisdiction in which such Proceedings are being conducted, in which case the Indemnified Party will notify the Corporation and will be entitled to be represented by separate counsel.

5.4

The Indemnified Party shall not settle, and the Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of, any Proceeding without the Corporation’s written consent.  The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in a manner that would impose any fines, penalties or obligations on the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnified Party.  Neither the Corporation nor the Indemnified Party shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

5.5

The Indemnified Party agrees to give the Corporation such information and co-operation as the Corporation may reasonably require from time to time in respect of all matters hereunder.  The Corporation agrees to give the Indemnified Party such information and co-operation as the Indemnified Party may reasonably require from time to time in respect of all matters hereunder.

5.6

Payment of indemnification in respect of a Proceeding shall be made by the Corporation as soon as practicable but in any event within 60 days after a written claim by the Indemnified Party is received by the Corporation (which claim shall include such documentation and information as is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, including but not limited to copies of invoices received by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Expenses), unless a determination is made by the Corporation that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

6.

Enforcement

6.1

If a claim under this Agreement for indemnity for Liabilities or for an Advance is refused or is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days in the case of indemnity for Liabilities and 30 days in the case of an Advance, after a written claim and all required supporting material has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnified Party may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.  It shall be a defence to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for an Advance incurred in connection with any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that the Indemnified Party has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for the amount claimed, or is otherwise not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, but the burden of proving such defence shall be on the Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive Advances pursuant to Section 3 unless and until such defence may be finally adjudicated by a court order or judgement from which no further appeal exists.  It is the parties' intention that if the Corporation contests the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification, the question of the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and no determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee of directors or independent legal counsel) that the Indemnified Party has not met the applicable standard of conduct shall create a presumption that the Indemnified Party has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

7.

Taxes Payable

7.1

8.

Other Rights

8.1

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the provisions of this Agreement.  In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or rule (whether by legislative action or judicial decision), which grants or permits any greater right to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses, such changes shall automatically apply to the Indemnified Party's rights, and the Corporation's obligations, under this Agreement.  In the event of any change in applicable law which narrows the right of the Corporation to indemnify or to advance expenses to the Indemnified Party, such changes shall automatically apply to this agreement except to the extent that such law is not required to be applied to this Agreement.

8.2

The indemnification and advances as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed to derogate from or exclude any other rights to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled under any provision of the Act or otherwise at law, the Articles of the Corporation, the By-Laws, any other agreement of the Corporation, any vote of shareholders of the Corporation, or otherwise.

8.3

The obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement shall cover the Indemnified Party's service as a director or officer of the Corporation or in an Authorized Capacity with a Another Entity and all of his or her acts in any such capacity whether prior to or after the date of this Agreement.

8.4

The obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement (including for greater certainty the obligation with respect to insurance under Section 4.2) shall continue for the longest period permitted under applicable law after the Indemnified Party has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or ceased to serve in an Authorized Capacity with a Another Entity.

to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not of themselves in the whole invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision which is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
