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. The corporation may advance moneys to the director, officer or other
individual for the costs, charges and expenses of any such proceeding. The corporation may not indemnify an individual unless the individual 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&#146;s request and, 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&#146;s conduct was lawful. The individual shall repay any moneys advanced to him or her if he or she does not fulfill the above conditions. Such
indemnification and advances may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. Such individual is entitled to indemnification or advances from the corporation as a matter of right in respect of all costs, charges and
expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defence of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he is subject by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or another

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 Registrant or other entity if: (a)&nbsp;the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or, as the case may be, to the best

proceeding referred to previously. The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the previously named conditions. The Registrant has entered into individual agreements with its directors and officers that give contractual
effect to the indemnification provisions contained in the bylaws. The Registrant shall also indemnify such person in such other circumstances as the CBCA permits or requires. </FONT></P>
