liability incurred by the individual in their capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, or in their capacity as a director or officer, or similar capacity, of another entity, if the
individual acted in such capacity at the Corporations request.
The
by-laws
of the Corporation provide that, subject to the limitations contained in the CBCA but without limit to the right of the Corporation to indemnify any person under the CBCA 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 Corporations 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, if 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 Corporations 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 individuals conduct was lawful. The Corporation has entered into agreements with its directors and officers to indemnify them, to the extent permitted by law and subject to certain limitations, against all costs,
charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by such director or officer in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the director or
officer was made a party by reason of being a director or officer.
The
by-laws
of
the Corporation provide that the Corporation may, subject to the CBCA, purchase, maintain, or participate in insurance for the benefit of any director or officer of the Corporation, former director or officer of the Corporation, or another
individual who acts or acted at the Corporations request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, as such against any liability incurred by him in his capacity as a director or officer of the
Corporation or as a director or officer of another entity where he acts or acted in that capacity at the Corporations request. The Corporation has purchased third party director and officer liability insurance.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Corporation has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Reference is made to Item 9 for the undertakings of the registrant with respect to indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act.
