 2.Limitation (a)The indemnity described in this Agreement shall not apply to (i) claims initiated by the Indemnified Party against the Corporation or Other Entity except for claims relating to the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) claims initiated by the Indemnified Party against any other person or entity unless the Corporation or Other Entity has joined with the Indemnified Party in or consented to the initiation of that Proceeding, and/or (iii) claims by the Corporation or Other Entity for the forfeiture and recovery by the Corporation or Other Entity of bonuses or other compensation received by the Indemnified Party from the Corporation or Other Entity due to the Indemnified Partys violation of applicable securities or other laws. (b)The Corporation will have no obligation or liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, unless (i) the Indemnified Party acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or Other Entity; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. 3.Presumptions/Knowledge (a)For purposes of any determination under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will be deemed, subject to compelling evidence to the contrary, to have acted in good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation or Other Entity.  The Corporation will have the burden of establishing the absence of good faith. (b)The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Corporation or Other Entity will not be imputed to the Indemnified Party for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. (c)The Corporation will have the burden of establishing that any Expense it wishes to challenge is not reasonable. (d)The termination of a Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea ofnolo contendreor its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. 4.Written Notice by Indemnified Party Forthwith upon the Indemnified Party becoming aware of any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification under this Agreement (other than a Proceeding commenced by the Corporation), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.  Failure to give written notice in a timely fashion shall not disentitle the Indemnified Party to indemnification, except if and to the extent that the Corporation suffers prejudice by reason of the delay. 5.Investigation by Corporation The Corporation shall conduct such investigation of each Proceeding of which it receives written notice pursuant to Section 4 as it deems is reasonably necessary in the circumstances, and shall pay all costs of such investigation. 6.Assumption of Defence The Corporation shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defence of any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding commenced by the Corporation).  If the Corporation so elects after receipt of notice of a Proceeding, or the Indemnified Party in such notice so directs, the Corporation shall assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Proceeding, in which case such defence shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Corporation and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  If the Corporation elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence ofsuch Proceeding and to retain counsel to act on his or her behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the Corporation consents to the retention of such counsel or unless the parties to any such Proceeding include both the Corporation and the Indemnified Party and the Corporation and the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, shall have concluded that representation of both the Corporation and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, including the availability of legal defences to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Corporation.  The Indemnified Party and the Corporation shall co-operate fully with each other and their respective counsel in the investigation and defence of any Proceeding and shall make available to each other all relevant books, records, documents and files and shall otherwise use their respective best efforts to assist such counsel in the proper and adequate defence of any Proceeding.

For clarity, subject as hereinafter provided, it shall not be necessary for the Indemnified Party to pay such expenses and other amounts and then seek reimbursement; the Indemnified Party shall provide bona fide receipts and statements of account to the Corporation for direct payment by the Corporation. (b)Payment of the Indemnified Partys expenses as provided in Section 8(a) shall be subject to the prior provision by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to the Corporation of (i) a written affirmation of the Indemnified Partys good faith belief of the fulfilment of the terms set out in Sections 1 and 2; and (ii) an undertaking, in form and on terms satisfactory to the Corporation, to repay (with interest at a reasonable rate if demanded by the Corporation, and collateral security if reasonably requested) to the Corporation any amounts paid by the Corporation which are subsequently determined not to be payable or which are recovered by the Indemnified Party from any third party or if the court expressly determines that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified (or if a court, as may be applicable, does not approve the payment).  The Corporation reserves the right to re-evaluate from time to time its determination as to whether the terms set out in Sections 1 and 2 have been fulfilled. (c)If requested by the Board, the Indemnified Party shall retain independent legal counsel jointly with the Corporation and at the expense of the Corporation to provide an opinion as to whether, based on the information then available, it is reasonable to believe that a court might conclude that the terms set out in Sections 1 and 2 have not been fulfilled, which opinion shall be considered by the Board in making a determination whether to pay or continue to pay the Indemnified Partys expenses as provided in Section 8(a). 9.Settlement (a)The Corporation may with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) enter into a settlement or other agreement to settle or compromise a Proceeding.

 (b)If theIndemnified Partyrefuses after being requested by the Corporation, acting reasonably, to give consent to the terms of a proposed settlement which is otherwise acceptable to the Corporation, the Corporation may require theIndemnified Partyto negotiate or defend the Proceeding independently of the Corporation.  In such event any amount recovered by the claimant in excess of the amount for which settlement could have been made by the Corporation shall not be recoverable under this Agreement or otherwise, it being further agreed by the parties that in such event the Corporation shall only be responsible for costs, charges and expenses up to the time at which such settlement could have been made. (c)The Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

In the event the Corporation is sold or enters into any business combination as a result of which the directors and officers liability insurance policy is terminated and not replaced with a substantially similar policy equally applicable to the Indemnified Party, the Corporation shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause run off tail insurance to be purchased for the benefit of the Indemnified Party with substantially the same coverage for the balance of the 6 year term set out in Section 16.  The Corporation shall provide to the Indemnified Party a copy of each policy of insurance providing the coverages contemplated by this section forthwith after coverage is obtained, and shall forthwith notify the Indemnified Party if the insurer cancels, makes material changes to coverage or refuses to renew coverage (or any part of the coverage). 11.Tax Adjustment Should any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, including the payment of insurance premiums or any payment made by an insurer under an insurance policy, be deemed to constitute a taxable benefit or otherwise be or become subject to any tax or levy, then the Corporation shall pay any amount necessary to ensure that the amount received by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, after the payment of or withholding for tax, fully reimburses the Indemnified Party for the actual cost, expense or liability incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. 12.Availability of Other Rights Subject to Section 14 below, this Agreement shall not operate to abridge or exclude any other rights, in law or in equity, to which the Indemnified Party or the Corporation may be entitled by operation of law. 13.Governing Law This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia (and the federal laws of Canada applicable in British Columbia) and the parties hereto attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia in the City of Vancouver in respect of any proceedings arising out of this Agreement. 14.Priority and Term Upon theIndemnified Partyentering into this Agreement, theIndemnified Partyacknowledges and agrees that the Corporation is released and forever discharged from any obligation or liability pursuant to any indemnitycontract or similar agreement previously entered into by theIndemnified Partyand the Corporation and further agrees that any such contract or agreement is hereby terminated.
