(b) |
Conditions. The indemnity provided for in Section 2.1(a) will only be available if the Indemnified Party: | ||
(i) |
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 interest of the other entity for which the Indemnified Party acted as a director or officer or in similar capacity at the Corporation’s request; | ||

Taxes – For greater certainty, a Claim subject to indemnification pursuant to Article 2 of this Agreement shall include any Taxes which the Indemnified Party may be subject to or suffer or incur as a result of, in respect of, arising out of or referable to any indemnification of the Indemnified Party by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, provided however that any amount required to be paid with respect to such Taxes shall be payable by the Corporation only upon the Indemnified Party remitting or being required to remit any amount payable on account of such Taxes. | |
(d) |
Indemnity as of Right – Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, provided the Indemnified Party fulfills the conditions in Section 2.1(b), the Corporation shall be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in respect of any Claim, if after the final disposition of such Claim, the Indemnified Party has not been reimbursed for those Losses. | |
(e) |
Derivative Claims – The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnified Party, or advance moneys under Section 2.1(h) to the Indemnified Party, in respect of a Claim by or on behalf of the Corporation or other entity to obtain a judgment in the Corporation’s favour to which the Indemnified Party is made a party because of the Indemnified Party’s association with the Corporation or other entity or where the Indemnified Party is requested to participate for purposes of an investigation or as an expert witness. The Corporation will advance or reimburse, as applicable, all reasonable Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation as provided in this Section 2.1(e). The Corporation may pay to the Indemnified Party, if applicable, a reasonable per diem amount for time spent in the investigation or as an expert witness for the Corporation or related entity as provided in Section 2.1(j). |

Incidental Expenses – The Corporation shall pay or reimburse the Indemnified Party for the Indemnified Party’s reasonable and necessary travel, lodging or accommodation costs, charges or expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in connection with a Claim. | |
(g) |
Specific Indemnity for Statutory Obligations – Without limiting the generality of the preceding Sections 2.1(a) through (f) of this Agreement, the Corporation agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Losses arising by operation of statute and incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnified Party in relation to the affairs of the Corporation in the Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director or officer thereof, including but not limited to all statutory obligations to creditors, employees, suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, and any government or any agency or division of any government, whether federal, provincial, state, regional or municipal, or which in any way involve the business or affairs of the Corporation or the other entity for which the Indemnified Party acted as a director and/or officer or in similar capacity at the Corporation’s request, provided that the indemnity provided for in this Section 2.1(g) will only be available if the Indemnified Party fulfils the conditions in Section 2.1(b) above. | |
(h) |
Partial Indemnification – If the Indemnified Party is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the Losses incurred in respect of any Claim but not for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnified Party for the portion thereof to which the Indemnified Party is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be so entitled. | |
(i) |
Advance of Expenses – The Corporation shall, at the request of the Indemnified Party, promptly (a) reimburse the Indemnified Party for all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in relation to a Claim claimed by the Indemnified Party to be subject to indemnification hereunder, and (b) pay reasonable and customary advance payments and costs and expenses to service providers of the Indemnified Party prior to any settlement or resolution to enable the Indemnified Party to properly investigate, defend or appeal such Claim where the cost of the services being so provided is claimed by the Indemnified Party to be subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Party did not fulfil the conditions set out in Section 2.1(b) above, or that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to be fully so indemnified, such advance, or the appropriate portion thereof shall, upon written notice of such determination being given by the Corporation to the Indemnified Party detailing the basis for such determination, be repayable on demand and shall bear interest from the date of such notice at the prime rate prescribed from time to time by the Royal Bank of Canada. If and to the extent the Indemnified Party makes any such repayment to the Corporation, the obligation of the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnified Party will continue in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
(j) |
Per Diem Charge – In addition to any other amount payable to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation a per diem payment (the “Per Diem Charge”) for time spent with respect to any Claim for which the Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to any one of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1. For directors, the per diem shall be an amount equal to $350 per hour. For directors who are also officers of the Corporation, the Per Diem Charge shall be zero if the Indemnified Party is still employed on a full time basis by the Corporation at the time the Per Diem Charge is payable or has been terminated for cause by the Corporation, and the Per Diem Charge shall be in an amount equal to $350 per hour if the Indemnified Party is not employed on a full time basis by the Corporation at the time the Per Diem Charge is payable other than as a result of termination for cause. | |
(k) |
Notice of Proceedings - The Indemnified Party shall give notice in writing to the Corporation as soon as practicable upon being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any Claim which may result in a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, and the Corporation agrees to give the Indemnified Party notice in writing as soon as practicable upon it being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing or continuing any Claim. Such notice shall include a description of the Claim or threatened Claim, a summary of the facts giving rise to the Claim or threatened Claim and, if possible, an estimate of any potential liability arising under the Claim or threatened Claim. Failure by either party to so notify the other of any Claim shall not relieve the Corporation from liability under this Agreement except to the extent that the failure materially prejudices the Indemnified Party or the Corporation, as the case may be. |
2.2 Subrogation
Promptly after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party of any Claim or threatened Claim (other than a Claim by or on behalf of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favour against the Indemnified Party), the Corporation may, and upon the written request of the Indemnified Party shall, by notice in writing to the Indemnified Party, in a timely manner assume conduct of the defence thereof and retain counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party who is satisfactory to the Indemnified Party acting reasonably, to represent the Indemnified Party in respect of the Claim. On delivery of such notice by the Corporation, other than pursuant to Section 2.3, the Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any fees and disbursements of counsel the Indemnified Party may subsequently incur with respect to the same matter. In the event the Corporation assumes conduct of the defence on behalf of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party hereby consents to the conduct thereof and of any action taken by the Corporation, in good faith, in connection therewith, and the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate in such defence including, without limitation, the provision of documents, attending examinations for discovery, making affidavits, meeting with counsel, testifying and divulging to the Corporation all information reasonably required to defend or prosecute the Claim.
2.3 Separate Counsel
In connection with any Claim or other matter for which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnity under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and consultants of the Indemnified Party's choosing and to participate in and approve any settlement by the Corporation of any Claim involving or affecting in any manner whatsoever the Indemnified Party, and accordingly, all fees, expenses and disbursements of such counsel and consultants shall be at the Corporation’s expense and shall be paid within fifteen days of invoices being submitted to the Corporation. Unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise has held or decided that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be fully or partially indemnified under this Agreement, the determination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create any presumption for the purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity under this Agreement.
2.4 Settlement of a Claim
For greater certainty, no admission of liability and no settlement of any Claim in a manner adverse to the Indemnified Party shall be made without the consent of the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably. No admission of liability shall be made by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Corporation and the Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim made without its consent, acting reasonably.
2.5 Other Rights and Remedies Unaffected
The indemnification and payment provided in this Agreement shall not derogate from or exclude any other rights to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled under any provision of the Act or otherwise at law, the articles or by-laws of the Corporation, any applicable policy of insurance, guarantee or third-party indemnity, any vote of shareholders of the Corporation, or otherwise, both as to matters arising out of the Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation or as to matters arising out of any other capacity in which the Indemnified Party may act for or on behalf of the Corporation.
2.6 Exceptions
Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
(a) |
Claims Initiated by the Indemnified Party -- To indemnify or advance expenses to the Indemnified Party with respect to any proceeding or Claim initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnified Party and not by way of defence, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or otherwise but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Corporation in specific cases if the Corporation’s board of directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such suit; | |
(b) |
Frivolous Proceedings -- To indemnify the Indemnified Party for any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to any proceeding instituted by the Indemnified Party to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnified Party in such proceedings were frivolous; | |
(c) |
Insured Claims -- To make any payment in connection with any Claim made against the Indemnified Party to the extent the Indemnified Party has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy, the articles or by-laws of the Corporation, contract or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. If the Corporation makes any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party in connection with any particular expense indemnified hereunder and the Indemnified Party has already received or thereafter receives, and is entitled to retain, duplicate payments in reimbursement of the same particular expense, then the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Corporation in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such duplicate payment and (ii) the full amount of such indemnification payment made by the Corporation; | |
(d) |
Claims Under Section 16(b) -- To indemnify the Indemnified Party for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Indemnified Party of securities in violation of, to the extent applicable, Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute; |

ARTICLE 3
INSURANCE
3.1 The Policy
The Corporation will purchase and maintain, or cause to be purchased and maintained, while the Indemnified Party remains a director or officer of the Corporation or of another entity at the Corporation’s request, and in accordance with Section 3.5, for a period of three years after the Indemnified Party ceases to be a director or officer of the Corporation (as long as commercially reasonable), a Policy for the benefit of the Indemnified Party containing such customary terms and conditions and in such amounts as are available to the Corporation on reasonable commercial terms, having regard to the nature and size of the business and operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries from time to time.
3.2 Variation of Policy
So long as the Indemnified Party is a director or officer of the Corporation or of another entity at the Corporation’s request, and, in accordance with Section 3.5, for a period of three years thereafter (as long as commercially reasonable), the Corporation shall not seek to amend or discontinue the Policy or allow the Policy to lapse.
3.3 Run-Off Coverage
In the event the Policy is discontinued for any reason, the Corporation shall purchase, maintain and administer, or cause to be purchased, maintained and administered for a period of 6 years after such discontinuance, insurance for the benefit of the Indemnified Party (the “Run-Off Coverage”), on such terms as the Corporation then maintains in existence for its directors and officers, to the extent permitted by law and provided such Run-Off Coverage is available on commercially acceptable terms and premiums (as determined by the Corporation’s board of directors acting reasonably). The Run-Off Coverage shall provide coverage only in respect of events occurring prior to the discontinuance of the Policy.
3.4 Exclusion of Indemnity
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any Losses which have been paid to, by or on behalf of, the Indemnified Party under the Policy or any other applicable policy of insurance maintained by the Corporation.
3.5 Post Office Directors and Officers Insurance
Following the Indemnified Party ceasing to be a director or officer of the Corporation or of another entity at the Corporation’s request, for any reason whatsoever, the Corporation shall continue to purchase and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, for the benefit of the Indemnified Party for a minimum of three years and the Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives, such that the Indemnified Party’s insurance coverage is, during that time, the same as any insurance coverage the Corporation purchases and maintains for the benefit of its then current directors and officers, from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) liability insurance coverage for former directors and officers is no longer available or (ii) it is no longer industry practice among responsible companies to procure liability insurance for former directors and officers and the cost to the Corporation to do so would be commercially unreasonable (as determined by the board of directors acting reasonably), the Corporation shall be relieved of its obligation to procure liability insurance coverage for former directors and officers; provided that the Corporation procures such level of insurance coverage, if any, as is available for former directors and officers at a commercially reasonable rate and adopts comparable measures to protect its former directors and officers in the circumstances as are adopted by other responsible companies. The onus is on the Corporation to establish that the circumstances described in the previous sentence exist.
3.6 Deductible under Directors and Officers Insurance
If for any reason whatsoever, any directors’ and officers’ liability insurer asserts that the Indemnified Party is subject to a deductible under any existing or future Policy purchased and maintained by the Corporation for the benefit of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives, the Corporation shall pay the deductible for and on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may require the Corporation to agree to such amendments to this Agreement as the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, considers necessary or desirable in order to provide the Indemnified Party with a comprehensive indemnity under the laws of the proposed jurisdiction of continuance.
4.2 Corporation and Indemnified Party to Cooperate
The Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall, from time to time, provide such information and cooperate with the other, as the other may reasonably request, in respect of all matters under this Agreement.

4.6 |
Termination | |
(a) |
Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Indemnified Party from resigning as a director or officer of the Corporation or a director, officer or similar capacity of another entity at the request of the Corporation at any time. | |
(b) |
The obligations of the Corporation will not terminate or be released upon the Indemnified Party resigning or ceasing to act as a director or officer of the Corporation or a director, officer or similar capacity of another entity at the request of the Corporation. |
