(1)Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Corporation will indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party’s heirs and personal and other legal representatives from and against all Liabilities, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. If the Indemnified Party is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for a portion of any Liabilities in respect of a Claim related to an Eligible Event but not for the total amount thereof, the Corporation will nevertheless indemnify the Indemnified Party for the portion thereof to which the Indemnified Party is entitled.
(2)Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including Section 2.04, the Corporation will, upon receipt by the Corporation of a written demand by the Indemnified Party, promptly, and in any event, no more than 20 Business Days after receipt by the Corporation of such demand, make one or more Cost Advances to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. Each such written demand will include (i) a written affirmation of the Indemnified Party’s good faith belief that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, together with particulars of the Costs to be covered by the proposed Cost Advance; provided that the Indemnified Party will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would waive solicitor-client privilege; and (ii) a written undertaking by the Indemnified Party to repay all Cost Advances if and to the extent that it is determined pursuant to a Final Judgment that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or that the payment of such Costs is prohibited by applicable law. Such written undertaking to repay Cost Advances will be unsecured and no interest will be charged thereon.
(3)The Indemnified Party will repay to the Corporation, upon demand, Cost Advances (i) if and to the extent that it is determined by a Final Judgment that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or that the payment of such Costs is prohibited by applicable law; (ii) if and to the extent that the Corporation has fully performed its obligations to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement with respect to the advance of Costs and other matters bearing on the ability of the Indemnified Party to protect his or her interests fully and effectively in the applicable Proceeding; and (iii) subject to any right of counterclaim or set off in favour of the Indemnified Party.

(a)acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or, as the case may be, the best interests of the Related Entity; and
(b)in the case of a criminal or administrative Proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful.

- 6 -
The Corporation will have the burden of establishing the matters referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.02, as applicable.
1.03Exceptions to Indemnity and Cost Advances
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation will not, as applicable, be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify, or make Cost Advances to, the Indemnified Party:
(a)for any amount in respect of which the Indemnified Party may not be relieved of liability under the Act or otherwise at law;
(b)arising in connection with any Proceeding initiated or commenced by the Indemnified Party against (i) the Corporation or any Related Entity, unless it is brought to establish or enforce any right under this Agreement or rights of indemnification under any other agreement or under any Policy or any indemnity provisions of the constating documents of the Corporation or a Related Entity, as applicable, now or hereafter in effect relating to Proceedings; or (ii) any other person; unless, in either case, (A) the Corporation or the Related Entity, as applicable, has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Proceeding, or (B) such Proceeding is a counterclaim to any Proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder; or
(c)for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by the Indemnified Party of securities pursuant to applicable securities laws or common law.
The Corporation will have the burden of establishing the matters referred to in this Section 2.03.
1.04Actions by the Corporation
In respect of a Proceeding by or on behalf of the Corporation or a Related Entity to procure a judgment in its favour to which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or, at the request of the Corporation, a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a Related Entity, the Corporation will not indemnify the Indemnified Party or make Cost Advances to the Indemnified Party unless court approval to furnish such indemnity is obtained in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Act. Unless (i) the indemnity provided pursuant to this Agreement does not apply as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.02, or (ii) pursuant to Section 2.03, excluding Section 2.03(a), the Corporation is not obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify for Liabilities in relation to such Proceeding, upon written request by the Indemnified Party, the Corporation will promptly make application for approval of the court having jurisdiction to furnish indemnification and make Cost Advances in connection with such Proceeding.
1.05No Presumption
Unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise has held or decided that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the determination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction does not and will not, of itself, create a presumption either that the Indemnified Party did not satisfy or has not adhered to any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or grounds for belief (including that the Indemnified Party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or a Related Entity or did not have

- 7 -
reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful) or that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.
1.06Income Tax
(1)Each payment made by the Corporation to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement will be made without setoff, counterclaim or reduction for, and free from and clear of, and without deduction for or because of, any and all present or future taxes imposed, levied, collected, assessed or withheld by or within any taxing jurisdiction, unless the Corporation is required by law or the interpretations thereof by any relevant governmental authority to make such withholding or deduction. If the Corporation does not pay, cause to be paid or remit payments due hereunder free from and clear of such taxes, then the Corporation will forthwith pay the Indemnified Party such additional amounts (the “Tax Indemnity Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net after taxes amount of every payment made to the Indemnified Party, after provision for payment of any taxes payable by the Corporation and, or, the Indemnified Party (including any deduction or withholding of taxes imposed, levied, collected, assessed or withheld by or within any taxing jurisdiction on or with respect to Tax Indemnity Amounts and taxes on or in respect of the receipt of Tax Indemnity Amounts), will be equal to the amount that the Indemnified Party would have received had there been no such taxes.
Article 3 - PROCEDURES
1.01Notice
(1)Promptly after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any assertion, notice of commencement or notice of any threat of commencement by any third party of any Proceeding against the Indemnified Party that results or may result in the incurrence by such Indemnified Party of any Liabilities for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification, or in any demand by the Indemnified Party for Cost Advances, pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Corporation of the assertion, commencement or threatened commencement of such Proceeding. Such notice (a “Notice of Proceedings”) will also specify with reasonable detail (to the extent the information is reasonably available) the factual basis for the Proceeding, the amount claimed by the third party or, if such amount is not then determinable, a reasonable estimate of the likely amount of the claim by the third party. The failure to promptly provide such Notice of Proceeding will not relieve the Corporation of any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party or to make Cost Advances under this Agreement, except to the extent such failure prejudices the Corporation or any Related Entity. Thereupon, the Corporation will have the right, upon written notice (the “Defence Notice”) to the Indemnified Party within 20 Business Days after receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Proceeding to conduct, at its own expense, the defence against the Proceeding in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Indemnified Party.
(2)The Defence Notice will specify the independent legal counsel the Corporation will appoint to defend such Proceeding (the “Defence Counsel”) and the Indemnified Party will have the right to approve the Defence Counsel, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate legal counsel in any Proceeding and to participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such legal counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party and will not be included as part of any Costs or Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party will be entitled to claim from the Corporation unless: (i) the Corporation failed to give the Defence Notice within the prescribed period; (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there are legal defences available to the Indemnified Party that are different from, or in addition to, those available to the Corporation or the Related Entity, as applicable, or that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation by legal counsel chosen by the Corporation

- 8 -
not advisable; or (iii) the employment of such legal counsel at the expense of the Corporation has been specifically authorized by the Corporation, in which event the reasonable legal fees and expenses of such legal counsel will be paid by the Corporation, subject to the terms hereof. The party conducting the defence of any Proceeding will keep the other party apprised of all significant developments in relation thereto.
(3)The Indemnified Party and the Corporation will reasonably cooperate with each other and, if applicable, their respective counsel in the investigation related to, and defence of, any Proceeding and will make available to each other all relevant books, records, documents and files and will otherwise use reasonable efforts to assist each other’s counsel to conduct a proper and adequate defence, including by attending or causing its representatives to attend, examinations for discovery, making affidavits, meeting with counsel and testifying or divulging all information in the Corporation’s possession reasonably required to defend or prosecute the proceeding.
(4)The Corporation may conduct any investigation it considers appropriate of any Proceeding of which it receives notice under Section 3.01(1), and will pay all costs of that investigation.
Article 4 - SETTLEMENT
1.01Conduct of Settlements
(1)The Corporation will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or a Cost Advance has been sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from any liabilities on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding; and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.
(2)The Corporation will not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent, and the Indemnified Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgement in or otherwise seek to terminate any Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party will have the right to negotiate a settlement in respect of any Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Corporation, provided that (i) the Indemnified Party will pay any compensation, payment costs or other liabilities to be under such settlement and the costs of negotiating and implementing such settlement, and will not seek indemnity from the Corporation in respect of such compensation, payment, costs or other Liabilities and will repay any Cost Advances previously made by the Corporation in respect of such Proceeding; and (ii) the settlement may not include a statement as to, or in admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Corporation or any Related Entity.
Article 5 - DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY INSURANCE
1.01Liability Insurance
(1)Subject to Section 5.01(2), the Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain Policies. Such Policies in respect of the directors and officers of the Corporation and of each Related Entity will include such customary terms and conditions and such limits as are then available to the Corporation on reasonable commercial terms, having

- 9 -
regard to the historical and current market capitalization of the Corporation, the nature and size of the business, operations and risk profile of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries from time to time, as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion. In all such Policies maintained by the Corporation, the Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Indemnified Party will be named as an insured and the Policies will provide coverage covering the Indemnified Party on terms no less favourable to the Indemnified Party than the coverage the Corporation has in place for any (most favourably insured) director or officer of the Corporation. Upon written request of the Indemnified Party, the Corporation will provide to the Indemnified Party full particulars of the Policies that have been obtained and any proposed replacement or renewal Policies.
(2)The Corporation will have no obligation to obtain or maintain Policies if the Corporation determines in good faith that: (i) such insurance is not reasonably available in the market-place; (ii) the premium cost for such insurance is disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, given the nature and size of the business and operations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries; (iii) the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit to the Indemnified Party; or (iv) the Corporation is to be acquired and insurance will be maintained by the acquirer that covers pre-closing acts and omissions by the Indemnified Party subject to Section 6.03.
(3)Upon receipt by the Corporation of a Notice of Proceeding, the Corporation will promptly give notice to the insurer(s) under the Policies maintained by it and comply with all procedures and guidelines of the insurer(s) to ensure coverage of the Indemnified Party under the Policies.
(4)Subject to Section 5.01(2), if the Indemnified Party ceases to be a director or officer of the Corporation or a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity (including an individual holding a position equivalent to that of a director or officer), of the Corporation or any Related Entity for any reason, then the Corporation will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and maintain Policies for the benefit of the Indemnified Party on terms at least as favourable as the Policies that the Corporation (i) purchased and maintained for the benefit of the Indemnified Party immediately before the Indemnified Party ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a Related Entity; and (ii) purchases and maintains for the benefit of the directors and officers of the Corporation after the Indemnified Party ceases to be a director or officer of the Corporation or a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a Related Entity. Subject to Section 5.01(2), the Corporation will maintain such Policies and renewal thereof for a minimum of six years following the Indemnified Party ceasing to be a director or officer of the Corporation or a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity (including an individual holding a position equivalent to that of a director or officer), of a Related Entity, as the case may be. Alternatively, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, elect to purchase for the Indemnified Party a non-cancellable six year director and officer run-off policy that provides coverage for the Indemnified Party after the Indemnified Party ceases to be a director or officer of the Corporation or a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity (including an individual holding a position equivalent to that of a director or officer), of a Related Entity, in each case that is at least as favourable as the coverage described in clause (i) of this Section.
(5)If one or more of the Policies providing coverage on a ‘claims-made’ basis is cancelled or is not renewed, the Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly purchase the maximum degree of extended reporting period coverage available under such Policies unless replacement director and officer liability insurance coverage has been obtained that covers the Indemnified Party and that does not contain a ‘retroactive date’ so as to deprive the Indemnified Party of coverage for wrongful acts alleged to have been committed

- 10 -
prior to the inception date of such replacement insurance, unless the Corporation determines in good faith that: (i) such insurance is not reasonably available in the market-place; (ii) the premium cost for such insurance is disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, given the nature and size of the business and operations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries; (iii) the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit to the Indemnified Party; (iv) the Corporation is to be acquired and insurance will be maintained by the acquirer that covers pre-closing acts and omissions by the Indemnified Party subject to Section 6.03; or (v) the Indemnified Party is covered by similar insurance maintained by a Subsidiary of the Corporation.
(6)In the event the Corporation is unable to fund the purchase of extended insurance coverage by reason of its insolvency or bankruptcy, the Indemnified Party will be given reasonable notice regarding the Corporation’s inability to fund such purchase together with an identification of the additional premium that would be required to exercise the extended reporting period coverage option of the relevant Policies.
(7)In the event that a Proceeding is brought in which the Indemnified Party is named as party or in respect of which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payments or benefits under any Policy maintained by the Corporation, the Corporation will promptly pay, if permitted by applicable law, the insurance deductible applicable under any Policies providing coverage to the Indemnified Party.
(8)During the period when the Indemnified Party serves as a director and officer of the Corporation or a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a Related Entity, and for a period of six years thereafter, the Corporation will promptly notify the Indemnified Party if (i) any of the Policies lapses, is cancelled, as a result of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation or any other person or otherwise, is not renewed or any provision thereof relating to the extent or nature of the coverage provided thereunder is amended, changed or modified in any material respect; or (ii) any insurer informs the Corporation that all or part of any Proceeding is not covered by any of the Policies.
(9)The indemnity provided for in this Agreement is separate and independent of the Policies and is not in any way limited to the amount of insurance provided under such Policies.
Article 6 - GENERAL
1.01Further Assurances
Each of the Corporation and the Indemnified Party will from time to time execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and do all acts and things as the other party may reasonably require to effectively carry out or better evidence or perfect the full intent and meaning of this Agreement.
1.02Time of the Essence
Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
1.03Benefit of the Agreement
This Agreement will enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective heirs, executors, administrators, other legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. In the event that the Corporation proposes to (i) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind up into any other person and the Corporation will cease to exist as a legal entity or will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such amalgamation,

- 11 -
consolidation, merger or winding up; or (ii) transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or persons (including a lease, licence, long term supply agreement or other arrangement having the same economic effect as a transfer or other disposition), then in each such case the Corporation will ensure that proper provision is made so that the obligations of the Corporation set forth in this Agreement will continue in full force, including providing for the assumption of the obligations under this Agreement by any corporation or other entity continuing following an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or winding-up of the Corporation with or into one or more other entities (pursuant to a statutory procedure or otherwise), or by the person or persons acquiring all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Corporation, as the case may be, by written agreement expressly assuming and agreeing to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no amalgamation, consolidation, merger, winding-up or transfer of properties and assets had taken place. In the event of (i) any acquisition (by way of take-over bid, share exchange, purchase of shares or otherwise, and whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions) by any person, or two or more persons acting “jointly or in concert” (within the meaning of that expression as used in applicable securities laws), of beneficial ownership of fifty percent or more of the outstanding voting or equity securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation; or (ii) a plan of arrangement, amalgamation, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other business combination or reorganization or similar corporate transaction, in each case where the Corporation does not cease to exist as a legal entity and is not a continuing or surviving corporation in such transaction, that results in the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction no longer continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into or exchanged for securities of another entity) at least fifty percent of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately after consummation of such transaction, then in each such case the Corporation will ensure that proper provision will be made so that the obligations of the Corporation set forth in this Agreement will continue in full force, including providing that any entity that so acquires voting or equity securities of the Corporation, or any entity which is a surviving corporation or entity in any such arrangement, amalgamation, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, business combination or reorganization or other transaction, as the case may be, agrees to cause the Corporation to fulfil and honour in all respects all of its obligations under this Agreement and, to the extent necessary, make available to the Corporation, or any successor to the Corporation, any funding required in order for the Corporation, or such successor, to fulfil and honour all obligations under this Agreement.
1.04Entire Agreement
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and cancels and supersedes any prior understandings and agreements between the parties with respect thereto. There are no representations, warranties, terms, conditions, undertakings or collateral agreements, express, implied or statutory, between the parties other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
1.05Amendments and Waivers
No amendment to this Agreement will be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the parties hereto.
