INDEMNITY

8.01 | Limitation of Liability

No director or officer for the time being of the Corporation shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or employee or agent or for joining in any receipt or act for conformity or for any loss, damage or expense happening to the Corporation through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by the Corporation or for or on behalf of the Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of or belonging to the Corporation shall be lodged, deposited or invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person, firm or corporation including any person, firm or corporation with whom or which any moneys, securities or effects shall be lodged, deposited or invested or for any loss, conversion, misapplication or misappropriation of or any damage resulting from any dealings with any moneys, securities or other assets belonging to the Corporation or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which may happen in the execution of the duties of his respective office of trust or in relation thereto, unless the same are occasioned by his own wilful neglect or default, provided that nothing herein contained shall relieve a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the Act or relieve him from liability under the Act. Subject to applicable law, the directors for the time being of the Corporation shall not be under any duty or responsibility in respect of any contract, act or transaction whether or not made, done or entered into in the name or on behalf of the Corporation, except such as shall have been submitted to and authorized or approved by the Board. If any director or officer of the Corporation shall be employed by or shall perform services for the Corporation otherwise than as a director or officer or shall be a member of a firm or a shareholder, director or officer of a body corporate which is employed by or performs services for the Corporation, the fact of his being a shareholder, director or officer of the Corporation or body corporate or member of the firm shall not disentitle such director or officer or such firm or body corporate, as the case may be, from receiving proper remuneration for such services.

8.02 | Indemnity

(1)  Subject to the limitations contained in the Act but without limit to the right of the Corporation to indemnify any person under the Act or otherwise, the Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer of the Corporation, a former director or officer of the Corporation or another individual who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Corporation or other entity.

(2)  The Corporation shall advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to in paragraph (1). The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions of paragraph (3).

(3)  The Corporation shall not indemnify an individual under paragraph (1) unless the individual:

| (a) | acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Corporation’s request; and

10

| (b) | in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.

(4)  The Corporation shall, with the approval of a court, indemnify an individual referred to in paragraph (1), or advance moneys under paragraph (2), in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Corporation or other entity to procure a judgment in its favour, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual’s association with the Corporation or other entity as described in paragraph (1) against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action, if the individual fulfills the conditions set out in paragraph (3).

(5)  Despite paragraph (1), an individual referred to in that paragraph is entitled to indemnity from the Corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defence of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individual’s association with the Corporation or other entity as described in paragraph (1), if the individual seeking indemnity:

| (b) | fulfills the conditions set out in paragraph (3).

Subject to the Act and the Articles, the Board may from time to time declare and the Corporation may pay dividends on its issued shares to the shareholders according to their respective rights and interests in the Corporation. Dividends may be paid in money or property or by issuing fully paid shares of the Corporation.

10.02 | Dividend Cheques

A dividend payable in cash shall be paid by cheque, or by electronic funds transfer, drawn either on the bankers of the Corporation or those of its dividend disbursing agent to the order of each registered holder of shares of the class or series in respect of which it has been declared and, in the case of a cheque, mailed by prepaid ordinary mail to such registered holder at his Recorded Address or to such other address as the holder directs and, in the case of electronic funds transfer, to the bank account designated by such registered holder unless such registered holder otherwise directs. In the case of joint holders the cheque or electronic funds transfer shall, unless such joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of all such joint holders and, in the case of a cheque, mailed to them at their Recorded Address, or to the first address so appearing if there are more than one. The mailing of such cheque as aforesaid, unless the same is not paid on due presentation, or the electronic transfer of funds as aforesaid, shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the dividend to the extent of the sum represented thereby plus the amount of any tax which the Corporation is required to and does withhold.

10.03 | Non-receipt of Cheques

In the event of non-receipt of any dividend cheque or electronic funds transfer by the person to whom it is sent as aforesaid, the Corporation or its dividend disbursing agent shall issue to such person a replacement cheque or electronic funds transfer for a like amount on such terms as to indemnity, reimbursement of expenses and evidence of non-receipt and of title as the Board may from time to time prescribe whether generally or in any particular case.

10.04 | Unclaimed Dividends

No dividends shall bear interest as against the Corporation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Articles with respect to any class or series of shares, any dividend unclaimed for one year after having been declared payable may be invested or otherwise made use of by the directors for the benefit of the Corporation. Any dividend unclaimed after a period of three years less one day from the date on which the same has been declared to be payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Corporation, but the Board may nevertheless authorize the subsequent payment of any such dividend on such terms as to indemnity and evidence of title as the Board may from time to time prescribe, whether generally or in any particular case.
