of one or more additional subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the

Indemnified Person, as specified herein, for personal liabilities arising from
or in connection with his acting as member of the board of directors of or an
officer of the Applicable Subsidiaries (the Indemnified Person acting in such

In consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Indemnified Person and the Company agree as follows:
Agreement 1.    To the extent consistent with applicable law, the Indemnified
Person agrees to take action as a Member in accordance with the constituent
documents of the Applicable Subsidiaries and in a manner believed by the Member
to be in the best interests of each such subsidiary’s shareholders. 2.    The
Company hereby agrees to indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified
Person out of the funds of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law against all liabilities, losses, damages or expenses (including
but not limited to liabilities under contract, tort and statute or any
applicable law or regulation and all reasonable legal and other costs and
expenses properly payable) incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Person
arising from or in connection with his acting as a Member; provided always that
the indemnity contained in this Indemnity Agreement shall not extend to any
action taken by the Member in bad faith or in a manner believed by the Member to
be opposed to the best interests of the respective Applicable Subsidiary. 3.   
(a)    The Company hereby agrees that the Indemnified Person shall be
indemnified out of the funds of the Company against all liabilities arising from
or in connection with his acting as a Member incurred by the Indemnified Person
in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is
given in the Indemnified Person’s favour, or in which the Indemnified Person is
acquitted, or in respect of which relief from liability is granted to the
Indemnified Person by a court of competent jurisdiction.    (b)    The Company
hereby agrees that, to the extent that the Indemnified Person is entitled to
claim an indemnity pursuant to this Indemnity Agreement in respect of amounts
paid or discharged by the Indemnified Person, the relative indemnity shall take
effect as an obligation of the Company to reimburse the person making such
payment or effecting such discharge.

4.    Subject to applicable law, expenses incurred in defending any civil or
criminal action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to
this Indemnity Agreement shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified
pursuant to this Indemnity Agreement. 5.    The indemnification rights of the
Indemnified Person under this Indemnity Agreement are in addition to, and not
exclusive of, any other contractual, legal or other rights to indemnification
that the Indemnified Person may have, including, without limitation, the
indemnification rights afforded by the constituent documents of the respective
