Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Canadian law generally permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers for all costs, charges and expenses incurred by the person in respect of any action or proceeding to which that person is made a party by reason of being a director or officer if the person (i) acted in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the person had reasonable grounds for believing his conduct was lawful. Canadian law generally requires a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers if the person is substantially successful on the merits of his defense of the action, the person fulfills (i) and (ii) above, and is otherwise fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. The registrant's bylaws generally provides that the corporation is required to indemnify a director or officer against liability incurred in that capacity to the extent permitted or required by Canadian law. A policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance is maintained by the registrant which insures directors and officers of the registrant and its subsidiaries for losses a result of claims based on the acts or omissions as directors and officers of the registrant. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.
