The Company hereby irrevocably agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, to indemnify and save harmless the Indemnitee 

(a)          
from and against any and all Claims and Actions, whether civil, criminal,
quasi-criminal or administrative, and whether actually instituted or threatened,
of every nature and kind whatsoever made or brought at any time against the
Indemnitee by reason 

- 3 - 

that the Indemnitee is or was a
director, officer, or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, whether made or
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
governmental department, body, commission, board, bureau, agency or

from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges,

any amount paid to settle a Claim, Action or prosecution or to satisfy a
judgment or verdict, by reason that the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer
or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary (including but not limited to
attorneys fees and amounts paid to settle any action, satisfy any judgment or
pay any fines or penalties, and including any costs, charges, expenses and
attorneys fees Indemnitee may incur in enforcing this Agreement (collectively
“Expenses”)). 

Advances of Expenses 

7.                       
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. 

- 5 - 

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 an Officer 

16.                     
The Company may compensate the Indemnitee for services provided to the Company
by the Indemnitee as an 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. 

- 6 - 

Resignations Will Not Be Prevented 

20.                    
 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Indemnitee from
resigning at any time from any office that the Indemnitee holds with the Company
or otherwise holds at the request of the Company. 

Amendments and Modifications 

21.                     
No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by the Parties and
then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. 

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Burden of Proof 

	22. 	
      (a)          
      This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with and
      governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and the
      federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

(b)           In
the event of any dispute regarding the application or interpretation or
enforcement of this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts located in the Province of British Columbia in
respect of any suit, action, proceeding or counterclaim. Any costs of such
litigation, including attorneys fees and expenses for Indemnitee and the Company

amount hereunder, the parties agree that the Company shall be required to assume
the burden of proof that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnity hereunder. 

Severability 

23.                    
 Each provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable, and the
unenforceability or invalidity of any provision under any applicable law will
not affect the enforceability or validity of the remainder of this Agreement in
