that the Indemnitee is or was a

brought by the Company, by any shareholder or employee of the Company, by any
person, firm, company or government within or outside Canada, or by any

attorneys fees Indemnitee may incur in enforcing this Agreement (collectively

Advances of Expenses

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with any Claims and Actions shall be paid by the
Company in advance upon the final disposition of such Claims and Actions,
provided that the Company receives a written undertaking from the director to
repay any amount to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnity therefor. It shall not be necessary for Indemnitee
to pay such Expenses and then seek reimbursement, but Indemnitee may provide
bills and statements of account to the Company for direct payment by the
Company.

Notice of Claim

8.                       
Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any Claim or Action against
him for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement at
the address set forth on the first page of this Agreement (or such other
addresses as provided by notice given as aforesaid). In addition, Indemnitee
shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably
require and as shall be within Indemnitees power and at such times and places
are convenient for Indemnitee.

Defence

9.                       
Any right to indemnification conferred by the Company pursuant to this Agreement
will include the right to be paid by the Company for the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that, if the Act requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by the
Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director (and not in any other capacity
in which service was or is rendered by the Indemnitee while a director,
including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance
of the final disposition of a proceeding, will be made only upon delivery to the
Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it will

- 4 -

ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
be indemnified under this Agreement or otherwise. The Company will also
indemnify and hold harmless as aforesaid the Indemnitee by reason of the fact
that he is or was serving as an agent of the Company.

10.                      With
respect to a Claim or Action for which the Company is obligated to indemnify the
Indemnitee hereunder, the Company may conduct negotiations toward the Settlement
and, with the written consent of the Indemnitee, make such Settlement as it
deems expedient; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not be required,
as part of any post-Settlement, to admit liability or agree to indemnify the
Company in respect of, or make contribution to, any compensation or other
payment for which provision is made under the Settlement. The Company shall pay
any compensation or other payment for which provision is made by such
Settlement.

11.                      With
respect to a Claim or Action for which the Company is obliged to indemnify the
Indemnitee hereunder, if the Indemnitee shall fail to give his/her consent to
the terms of a proposed Settlement which is otherwise acceptable to the Company
and the claimant and which otherwise meets the requirements of Section 10, the
Company may require the Indemnitee to negotiate or defend the Claim or Action
independently of the Company and in such event any amount recovered by such
claimant in excess of the amount for which Settlement could have been made by
the Company will not be recoverable under this Agreement, it being further
agreed by the Parties that the Company will only be responsible for legal fees
and costs up to the time at which such Settlement could have been made.

Tax Gross Up

12.                      If
the Canada Revenue Agency or any provincial taxing authority, or the United
States Internal Revenue Service or any state taxing authority, assesses the
Indemnitee on the basis that any indemnity payment received must be included in
computing the Indemnitees income for tax purposes, then, unless the Company
elects to dispute such assessment at its expense and is successful in reversing
the assessment, the Company will make an additional payment or payments from
time to time, at such times in such amounts as will ensure the Indemnitee is not
out-of-pocket, to the Indemnitee to fully ensure that, taking into account any
income inclusion required in respect of any indemnity payment or such additional
payment or payments, the Indemnitee is after receiving such additional payment
or payments, fully compensated for any actual tax liability (including any
interest or penalty), or for the use of losses, deductions, credits or similar
amounts used in offsetting an income inclusion or other assessed amounts
relating to any indemnity payment or to any additional payment made under this
Agreement.

Enforcement of Claim

13.                      If
any claim arising from any right to indemnification conferred by the Company
pursuant to §6, 7 and §9 is not paid in full by the Company within 30 days after
a written claim has been received by the Company, the Indemnitee may, at any
time thereafter, bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the Indemnitee will be
entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.

14.                     
The Company will have no obligation to indemnify or save harmless the Indemnitee
in respect of any liability for which he/she is entitled to be indemnified
pursuant to any valid and collectible policy of insurance. Where partial
indemnity is provided by such policy, the obligation of the Company under §6, 7
and §9 will be limited to that portion of the liability for which
indemnification is not provided by such policy. The foregoing notwithstanding,
to the extent that the Indemnitee has purchased any such insurance and has not
been reimbursed therefor by any person, the obligation of the Company hereunder
shall be primary to such insurance.

Insurance

15.                      The
Company may, but is not required, to maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and the Indemnitee against any expense, liability or loss
referred to in this Agreement, whether or not the Company would have the power
to indemnify the Indemnitee against such expense, liability or loss under the
Act.

Compensation for Services as a Director and Officer

16.                     
The Company may compensate the Indemnitee for services provided to the Company
by the Indemnitee as a director and officer of the Company pursuant to a
separate agreement with the Company that is to be agreed upon by both Parties
and approved by the directors of the Company.

Indemnification Deemed a Contract

17.                      All
rights to indemnification under this Agreement will be deemed to be a contract
between the Company and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Company and the
Indemnitee intend to be legally bound. The Company hereby agrees that it will
not amend its Articles or By-laws in any way that will be inconsistent with this
Agreement.

Amplification of Rights

18.                      The
provisions of this Agreement are in amplification of or in addition to, and not
by way of limitation of or substitution for, any rights, immunities or
protection conferred on any director, employee or agent of the Company by the
Act or any other applicable law or statute, the Articles of the Company, or
otherwise.

Survival; Heirs and Successors

19.                      The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Agreement will continue if the Indemnitee ceases to be a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company for any Claims or Actions arising out of
Indemnitees relationship with the Company and notwithstanding a Claim is made
or Action filed or threatened after the Indemnity terminates such relationship
and will enure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the
Indemnitee.

time from any office that the Indemnitee holds with the Company or otherwise
holds at the request of the Company.
