1. General Indemnity. Except in the case of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnitee in connection with the duties of the Indemnitee as a director or officer of the Company or Other Entity, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee and the heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives of the Indemnitee (each of which is included in any reference in this Agreement to the Indemnitee) against and from all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, fees, charges, disbursements, fines, penalties and expenses of any kind, regardless of when or how they arose including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all fees, charges and disbursements for the services of any experts, all legal fees,

- 2 -

charges and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis and any amount paid to settle any actions or to satisfy any judgments, (any and all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as “Liabilities”) which the Indemnitee may sustain, pay or incur as a result of or in connection with any manner of action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, order or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all appeals and whether made by any person, firm, corporation, government, or by any governmental department, body, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality (any and all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as an “Action”) to which the Indemnitee is made or threatened to be made a party, for or in respect to any act done or step taken or alleged to have been done or step taken or alleged to have been done or taken, or not done or taken or alleged not to have been done or taken, in the course of or arising from carrying out or conducting the Indemnitee’s duties as, or the fact that the Indemnitee is, a director or officer of the Company or Other Entity.

2. Specific Indemnity for Statutory Obligations. In particular, and without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless against and from all Liabilities at any time imposed upon or at any time made against the Indemnitee under the Act, the Securities Act (British Columbia), the Securities Act of 1933 (United States), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (United States), the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Income Tax Act (Canada) and under any other federal, state, provincial, regional, county or municipal legislation or any re-enactment or amendment of that legislation and which in any way involve the business or affairs of the Company or Other Entity.

3. Taxation Indemnity. Without limiting the generality of paragraphs 1 and 2, the Company agrees that with respect to taxes and other similar charges however designated, levied by governments and by agencies and divisions of governments, whether federal, state, provincial, regional, county or municipal:

	(a)	the Company will abide by, and use its reasonable efforts to cause the Other Entity to abide by, all laws, by-laws, legislative requirements and regulatory requirements of any government or any agency or division of any federal, state, provincial, regional, county or municipal government, relating to the ownership of the Company and to any business conducted by the Company or Other Entity; and

	(b)	to the extent that the Indemnitee becomes responsible for the preparation or filing of any report or return to any government or any agency or division of any federal, state, provincial, regional, county or municipal government, the Company will supply and will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Other Entity to supply, all necessary information for that preparation and filing, and will be responsible for paying all charges, costs and expenses, including those of accountants, appraisers, lawyers and other consultants, relating to that preparation and filing.

4. Payment of Expenses. At the request of the Indemnitee, all expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with an Action covered under this Agreement will be

- 3 -

paid by the Company in advance, as permitted by the Act to enable the Indemnitee to properly investigate, defend or appeal the Action.

5. Notices of Proceedings.

	(a)	The Indemnitee will give written notice to the Company upon the Indemnitee being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any Action involving the Company or the Other Entity or the Indemnitee which may result in a claim for indemnification under this Agreement.

	(b)	The Company will give written notice to the Indemnitee, upon the Company or the Other Entity being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any Action involving the Indemnitee.

	(c)	Failure by either party to notify the other of any Action will not relieve the Company from liability under this Agreement except to the extent that the failure materially prejudices the Indemnitee or the Company.

6. Subrogation. Promptly after receiving notice of any Action or threatened Action from the Indemnitee, the Company may, and upon the written request of the Indemnitee will, promptly assume the defence of the Action and on behalf of the Indemnitee will retain counsel who is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee in respect of the Action. If the Company assumes conduct of the defence on behalf of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee consents to the conduct thereof and to any action taken by the Company, in good faith, in connection therewith and the Indemnitee will fully cooperate in the defence including, without limitation, the provision of documents, attending examinations for discovery, making affidavits, meeting with counsel and testifying and divulging to the Company all information reasonably required to defend or prosecute the Action.

7. Separate Counsel. In connection with an Action, the Indemnitee will have the right to employ separate counsel of the Indemnitee’s choosing and to participate in the defence thereof but the fees and disbursements of the separate counsel will be at the Indemnitee’s expense unless:

	(a)	counsel chosen by the Company to represent the Indemnitee reasonably determines that there are legal defences available to the Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or the Other Entity or that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Company not advisable;

	(b)	the Company has not assumed the defence of the Action and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the Action; or

	(c)	employment of the separate counsel has been authorized by the Company;

- 4 -

in which event the fees and disbursements of the separate counsel will be paid by the Company.

8. Settlement of Claim. No admission of liability and no settlement of an Action or threatened Action in a manner adverse to the Indemnitee will be made without the consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No admission of liability will be made by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Company and the Company will not be liable for any settlement of any Action or threatened Action made without its consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

9. Determination of Right to Indemnification. If the payment of an indemnity under this Agreement requires the approval of a court, under the provisions of the Act or otherwise, either the Company or, if the Company does not do so, the Indemnitee, may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order approving the indemnity by the Company of the Indemnitee under this Agreement.

10. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder will be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally or sent by telecopy (with confirmation of receipt) or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

If to the Company, at

Xxxxx 0000 - 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, X.X. X0X 0X0

If to the Executive, at:

00000 000xx Xxxxxx
Xxxxx Xxxxx, X.X. X0X 0X0

11. Survival of Covenants. The indemnity in this Agreement will survive the termination of the Indemnitee’s position as a director or officer of the Company or Other Entity and will continue in full force and effect after that time.

12. Insolvency. The liability of the Company under this Agreement will not be affected, discharged, impaired, mitigated or released by the discharge or release of the Indemnitee in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding of creditors.

13. Time for Payment. All monies to be paid under this Agreement will be paid within 30 days of becoming payable.

14. Severability. If any term of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the invalidity or unenforceability will attach only to that term or part term,

- 5 -

and the remaining part of the term and all other terms of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. The parties will negotiate in good faith to agree to a substitute term that will be as close as possible to the intention of any invalid or unenforceable term while being valid and enforceable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term in any particular jurisdiction will not affect its validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction where it is valid or enforceable.

15. Further Acts. Each party agrees to do all such things and take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to give full force and effect to the matters contemplated by this Agreement.

16. Enurement. This Agreement enures to the benefit and is binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

17. Independent Legal Advice. The Indemnitee acknowledges having been advised to obtain independent legal advice with respect to entering into this Agreement, that the Indemnitee has obtained independent legal advice or has expressly decided not to seek that advice, and that the Indemnitee is entering into this Agreement with full knowledge of the contents of it, of the Indemnitee’s own free will and with full capacity to do so.

18. Time. Time will be of the essence.

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with British Columbia law and applicable Canadian law and will be treated in all respects as a British Columbia contract.

TO EVIDENCE THEIR AGREEMENT each of the parties has executed this Agreement as of the day and year first written above.
