Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to the holder of each Restricted Security as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in either cash or Common Shares, at the option of
the Company, valued at the then current market price on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or if the Common Shares are no longer listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the then current bid price as quoted on another exchange or quotation system on which the
Common Shares are then trading) an amount equal to 1% of the Offering Price of such Restricted Security attributable to that portion of the Restricted Securities not resold pursuant to Regulation S for every 30-day period or portion thereof

Registrable Securities being sold; 

  

 - 3 - 

 
provided, however, that such payments by BMO shall not exceed an aggregate amount of Cdn$250,000. 
  
 (c) Effectiveness. 
  
 (i) The Company shall use its best efforts to have the
Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable or within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). The Company shall notify the Investors by facsimile or e-mail as
promptly as practicable, and in any event, within three (3) Business Days, after the Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Investors with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the
sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. If (A) the Company fails to use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities that are
Restricted Securities is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Deadline, or (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, the Company fails to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to
remain continuously effective as specified in Section 3 hereof and sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the
Registration Statement), but excluding the inability of any holder to sell the Restricted Securities covered thereby due to market conditions, then the Company will make pro rata payments to the holder of each Restricted Security as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, in either cash or Common Shares, at the option of the Company, valued at the then current market price on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or if the Common Shares are no longer listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the then
current bid price as quoted by another exchange or quotation system on which the Common Shares are then trading) an amount equal to 1% of the Offering Price of such Restricted Security attributable to that portion of the Restricted Securities not
resold pursuant to Regulation S for every 30-day period or portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective (the “Delay Period”). The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this
paragraph shall be paid monthly within three (3) Business Days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Delay Period until the termination of the Delay Period. 
  
 (ii) No more than three (3) times in any twelve (12) month period for an aggregate of not more than thirty
(30) days, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, by suspending the use of any Prospectus included in any registration contemplated by this Section containing such information, the disclosure
of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company as evidenced in writing, in the best interests of the Company (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify
the Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company disclose to such Investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to
an Allowed Delay, and (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay. 
  

 - 4 - 

 (d) Black-out Periods. In the event of a registration by the Company involving the
offering and sale by the Company of equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for its equity securities, the Investors agree, if requested by the Company (or, in the case of an underwritten offering, by the managing
underwriter), not to effect any public sale or distribution (excluding any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the 1933 Act) of any securities (except, in each case, as part of the applicable registration, if permitted), which securities
are the same as or similar to those being registered in connection with such registration, or which are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven (7) days before, and ending ninety (90)
days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Company or such managing underwriter) after, the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, to the extent such Investors are notified in writing by
the Company or the managing underwriter at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of the registration statement for such registration; provided, however, that such restriction shall apply to any individual Investor only to the
extent that it beneficially owns five per cent (5%) or more of the then issued Common Shares at the date of such request. 
  
 3. Company Obligations. The Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms
hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will: 
  
 (a) use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective and use its best efforts to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act;

with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby; 
  
 (c) provide copies to and permit counsel designated by the Investors to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto no fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects; provided, however, that the period from the date of any such objection of
counsel through the date on which such objection is resolved by the Company in good faith shall extend by an equal number of days, any deadlines which the Company is obligated to meet hereunder; 
  
 (d) furnish to the Investors and their legal counsel (i)
promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each

letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in
each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor that are covered by the related
Registration Statement; 
  
 (e) if required by
any underwriter in an underwritten offering pursuant to a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, or if any Investor is described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, the Company shall furnish, on the effective date of

underwriter), (i) (A) in the case of an underwritten offering, an opinion, dated as of the closing date of the sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters, from independent legal counsel representing the Company for purposes of such
Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters and the Investors participating in such underwritten offering or (B) in the case of an “at the

Investor deemed to be an underwriter); 
  
 (f)
use its best efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment; 
  
 (g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities,
use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions requested by the Investors and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section
3(g), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(g), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 (i) immediately notify the Investors, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under
the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such holder, promptly prepare and furnish to such holder a reasonable number of copies of
a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the Investors of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; 
  
 (j) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act,
take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date

 6. Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and
its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon
written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a
“Blue Sky Application”); (iii) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in
connection with such registration; or (iv) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the
Company will undertake such registration or qualification on a Investor’s behalf (the undertaking of any underwriter chosen by the Company being attributed to the Company) and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or
member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company
will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with
information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. 
  
 (b) Indemnification by the Investors. In connection with any registration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Investor
will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests concerning the holders of Registrable Securities or the proposed manner of distribution for use in connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus
and agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933
Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information
furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the 

  

 - 9 - 

 
liability of a Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim
relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
  
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall
have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such
person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying
party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party
of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect
of such claim or litigation. 
  
 (d)
Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim
relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
giving rise to such contribution obligation.

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be
enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. 
  
 (i) Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other
actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained. 
  
 (j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a
complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such
subject matter. 
  
 (k) Governing Law; Consent
to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising
out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of
notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection
to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 Exhibit 10.9 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 This Indemnification Agreement dated as of the 6th of October, 2004. 
  
 BETWEEN: 
  
 ·, 
 of the
City of ·, in the 
 Province of · 
  
 (hereinafter referred to as the “Director”), 
  
  
 OF THE FIRST PART, 
  
 - and – 
  
 PERU COPPER INC., 
 a corporation incorporated under the laws 
 of Canada 
  
 (hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”), 
  
  
 OF THE SECOND PART. 
  
 WHEREAS: 
  

	(a)	the Corporation desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals such as the Director to serve as directors of the Corporation; 

 

	(b)	in order to attract such individuals the Corporation desires to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by applicable law against liabilities they may incur in their
capacities as directors of the Corporation or in any other capacity in which they may act at the request of the Corporation; 

  

	(c)	in light of the foregoing, the Director consented to be elected and has been elected a Director of the Corporation; and 

  

	(d)	the Corporation desires to provide the Director with the maximum protection permitted by applicable law against any and all liabilities he may incur in his capacity as a director of
the Corporation or in any other capacity in which he may act at the request of the Corporation. 

 NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the premises, the payment by each party to the other of the sum
of $1.00 in lawful money of Canada (receipt of which is hereby acknowledged), the respective covenants of each party set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration (the sufficiency of which is acknowledged), the parties hereby
agree as follows: 
  
 Section 1 Definitions 
  
 In this Agreement: 
  
 “Act” means the Canada Business Corporations Act, as in
force from time to time during the term of this Agreement; 
  
 “Agent” means any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, body corporate or other entity or enterprise; 
  
 “Board” means the board of directors of the Corporation and, for greater certainty, includes any committee of the Board; 
  
 “Expenses” means, without limitation, lawyers’ fees and any expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification under this Agreement, the Act or otherwise or of defending against any claims as to which a right of indemnification is asserted hereunder by the Director; and 
  
 “Proceeding” means threatened, pending, contemplated or completed action or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, to which the Director is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Director is or was an Agent of the Corporation or by reason of anything done or not done by him in
such capacity. 
  
 Section 2 Agreement to Serve 
  
 In consideration of the protection afforded by this Agreement, the Director
agrees to serve as a director of the Corporation, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Director from resigning as such at any time. If the Director is an employee or agent of the Corporation, nothing contained in this Agreement
is intended to create, and shall not create, in the Director any right to continued employment. 
  
 Section 3 Indemnification 
  

	(1)	Indemnity. The Corporation shall indemnify the Director, effective from the date the Director was first elected to the Board, against any and all Expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the Director in connection with any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by the Act if, the Director acted honestly and in good faith with a view to
the best interests of the Corporation and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Director had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. No

  

 - 2 - 

 determination in any Proceeding against the Director by judgment, order, settlement (with or without
court approval) or conviction shall, of itself, create a presumption that the Director did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that the
Director did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. 
  

	(2)	Notice and Co-operation by the Director. The Director shall, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Corporation notice
in writing as soon as practicable of the commencement or the threatened commencement of any Proceeding against the Director for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Corporation shall be directed to the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Corporation shall designate in writing to the Director). In addition, the Director shall give the
Corporation such information and co-operation regarding such Proceeding or threatened Proceeding as it may reasonably require and as shall be within the Director’s power, but the Director shall not be required to agree to any request for
co-operation that, acting reasonably, he concludes to be contrary to his interests. 

  

	(3)	Procedure. Subject to the provisions of section 4 as to the advancement of Expenses, any indemnification provided for in this section 3 shall be paid no later than 45
days after receipt of written request of the Director. If a claim under this Agreement, the Act, or any other statute, or any provision of the Corporation’s articles or by-laws providing for indemnification is not paid in full by the
Corporation within 45 days after a written request for payment thereof has first been received by the Corporation, the Director may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the
claim and, subject to section 15 of this Agreement, the Director shall also be entitled to be paid the Expenses of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses incurred
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that the Director has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the Director for the amount
claimed, but the burden of proving such defence shall be on the Corporation and the Director shall be entitled to receive advances of Expenses pursuant to section 4 hereof unless and until such defence may be finally adjudicated by court order or
judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties’ intention that if the Corporation contests the Director’s right to indemnification, the question of the Director’s right to indemnification shall be for the
court to decide, and neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, any committee or subgroup of the Board, independent legal counsel or the Corporation’s shareholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of the
Director is proper in the circumstances because the Director has met with applicable standard of 

  

 - 3 - 

 conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board,
any committee or subgroup of the Board, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the Director has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Director has or has not met the applicable standard of
conduct. 
  

	(4)	Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to section 3(2) hereof, the Corporation has directors’, officers’,
employees’ and/or agents’ liability insurance in effect, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Corporation shall thereafter
take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Director, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. 

  

	(5)	Selection of Counsel. In the event the Corporation shall be obligated under this section 3 to indemnify the Director, the Corporation shall be entitled to assume the
defence of such Proceeding upon the delivery to the Director of written notice of its election so to do. Legal counsel retained by the Corporation under the preceding sentence shall be satisfactory to the Director, acting reasonably, and shall be
instructed not to initiate or participate in (without prior written consent of the Director) any discussions that might lead to a settlement inconsistent with section 5. After delivery of such notice and the retention of counsel by the Corporation,
the Corporation shall not be liable to the Director under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Director with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that (i) the Director shall have the right to employ her own counsel
in any such Proceeding at the Director’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by the Director has been previously authorized by the Corporation, (B) the Director shall have been advised in a written opinion of counsel acceptable
to the Corporation, acting reasonably, addressed to the Director and to the Corporation stating that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Director in the conduct of any such defence, or (C) the Corporation shall not,
in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of the Director’s counsel shall be borne by the Corporation. 

  
 Section 4 Advances of Expenses 
  
 The Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by the Director in connection with the investigation, defence, settlement or appeal of any Proceeding
prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director to repay the Corporation such advanced amounts if it shall be determined ultimately that the Director is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation hereunder and provided that the Director offers reasonable proof of the Director’s ability to repay such advanced amounts under such circumstances and if it is not then contrary to applicable law 
  

 - 4 - 

 for the Corporation to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, such advances shall not be made if it is determined
by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors of the Corporation (or by independent legal counsel, if such a quorum is not obtainable) that the Director acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his duty to the Corporation and its
shareholders and, as a result, it is more likely than not that the Director will not be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Agreement. The advances of Expenses to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation to the Director
within 30 days following delivery of a written request therefor by the Director to the Corporation. 
  
 Section 5 Settlement 
  

	(1)	Determination of Settlement Terms. The Corporation shall be entitled to settle any proceeding against the Director for which indemnity is sought by the Director
hereunder on terms and conditions determined by the Corporation, provided that: 

  

	 	(i)	the settlement does not involve any obligation or liability of the Director other than the payment of a monetary amount; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Director is indemnified in full against payment of such monetary amount together with all related Expenses, whether or not such Expenses would otherwise be payable hereunder;
and 

  

	 	(iii)	the settlement is expressly stated to be made by the Corporation on behalf of the Director, without any admission of liability by the Director. 

  

	(2)	Director Co-operation. Provided that the conditions referred to in sections 5(1)(i), (ii) and (iii) are met, the Director shall execute all documents and do such other
things as are reasonably requested by the Corporation to give effect to a settlement referred to in section 5(1). 

  
 Section 6 Additional Indemnification Rights: Non-Exclusivity 
  

	(1)	Scope. Nothwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify the Director to the fullest extent permitted by law,
notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by other provisions of this Agreement, the Act, the Corporation’s articles, the Corporation’s by-laws or by any other statute. In the event of any change after the
date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of an Ontario corporation to indemnify an Agent, such changes shall, without any formality, be within the purview of the Director’s rights and the
Corporation’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any change in applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of an Ontario corporation to indemnify an Agent such changes, to the extent not otherwise required by such
law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder. 

  

 - 5 - 

	(2)	Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which the Director may be entitled under the
Corporation’s articles, its by-laws, any other agreement by which the Corporation is bound, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, the Act or otherwise. 

  

	(3)	Partial Indemnification. If the Director is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the Expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties or settlements actually or reasonably incurred by the Director in the investigation, defence, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless
indemnify the Director for that portion for which the Director is entitled to indemnification. 

  
 Section 7 Mutual Acknowledgement 
  
 Both the Corporation and the Director acknowledge that in certain instances applicable law or public policy may prohibit the Corporation from indemnifying the Director under this Agreement or otherwise. The Director
understands and acknowledges that the Corporation has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the regulatory authorities to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the
Corporation’s right under public policy to indemnify the Director. The Director shall be entitled to be represented by counsel of his choosing at any such proceedings, with fees and related expenses to qualify as Expenses. 
  
 Section 8 The Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance 
  

	(1)	Determination of Coverage. The Corporation shall, from time to time: 

  

	 	(i)	make a good faith determination of whether or not it is practicable for the Corporation to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies
providing any or all of the Agents of the Corporation with coverage from losses from wrongful acts, insurable losses they may incur in their capacities as directors of the Corporation or to insure the Corporation’s performance of its
indemnification obligations under this Agreement; 

  

	 	(ii)	weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage; and 

  

	 	(iii)	subject to section 8(3) hereof (and whether or not the Director continues to be a director of the Corporation), obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance on terms and
with coverage limits 

  

 - 6 - 

 which provide the Director with insurance coverage which is similar in all material respects to the
directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage now provided by the Corporation to the Director, the particulars of which have been provided to the Director, or coverage which provides enhanced overall directors’ and officers’
insurance coverage to the Director. 
  

	(2)	Favourable Coverage. In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Corporation, the Director shall be named as an insured
in such a manner as to provide the Director the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favourably insured of the directors of the Corporation. 

  

	(3)	Exceptions. 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 premium costs for such insurance are excessive, that the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or that the Director is covered
by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary of the Corporation. Before acting on such a determination, the Corporation shall discuss the matter with the Director. 

  

	(4)	Notice. The Corporation agrees to provide notice of any material changes in the insurance coverage referred to in this section 8 during the period in which the
Director serves as an Agent and for a period of six years thereafter. 

  
 Section 9 Severability 
  
 If any section,
paragraph, clause or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or enforceable, in whole or in part, such determination shall not affect or impair and shall not be deemed to affect or
impair the validity, legality or enforceability of any other section, paragraph, clause or other provision hereof and each such section, paragraph, clause or other provision shall be interpreted in such a manner as shall render them valid, legal and
enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law. 
  
 Section 10
Exceptions 
  
 Any other provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement the Corporation shall not be obligated: 
  

	 	(i)	Excluded Acts. to indemnify the Director for any acts or omissions or transactions from which a director may not be relieved of liability as set forth in the Act; or

  

	 	(ii)	Claims Initiated by the Director. to indemnify or advance Expenses to the Director with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or 

  

 - 7 - 

 brought voluntarily by the Director and not by way of defence, except with respect to proceedings brought
to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement, the Act or any other statute or law; or 
  

	 	(iii)	Lack of Good Faith. to indemnify the Director for any Expenses incurred by the Director with respect to any Proceeding instituted to enforce or interpret this
Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the material assertions made by the Director in such proceedings was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or 

  

	 	(iv)	Insured Claims. to indemnify the Director for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever which have been paid directly to the Director by an insurance carrier
under a policy of Agents’ liability insurance maintained by the Corporation; or 

  

	 	(v)	Claims for Unlawful Profits. to indemnify the Director for expenses or the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Director of securities in
violation of applicable securities laws; or 

  

	 	(vi)	Other Indemnification. to indemnify the Director for Expenses for which the Director is indemnified by the Corporation otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement.

  
 Section 11 Effectiveness of Agreement; Continuation of
Indemnity 
  

	(1)	Effectiveness. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Corporation to do or fail to do any act in violation of
applicable law. The Corporation’s inability, pursuant to applicable law or court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. 

  

	(2)	Continuation. The indemnification and advancement of Expenses by the Corporation to the Director provided for under this Agreement shall survive and continue after
termination of the Director as an officer, director, employee or other Agent as to any acts or omissions by the Director while serving in such capacity. 

  
 Section 12 Co-operation 
  
 Without restriction on its responsibilities as an indemnitor, the Corporation confirms the availability of its Directors’ and Officers’
liability insurance and its co-operation in connection with the processing of any matters for which the Director may seek indemnification from the Indemnitors under this Agreement. 
  

 - 8 -

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

 This Agreement shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors
and assigns, and shall enure to the benefit of the Director and the Director’s estate, heirs, legal representatives and assigns.

 If any action is instituted by the Director under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof, the Director shall be entitled to be
paid all court costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees of counsel, incurred by the Director with respect to such action, unless as a part of such action, the court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the material assertions
made by the Director as a basis for such action were not made in good faith or were frivolous.
