Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 30 of the By-laws
No. 2 of the Registrant provides, with regard to indemnity and insurance under the Business Corporations Act of the Yukon Territory,
Canada (the “Act”), as follows:
“30. (1) The Corporation shall
indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or any other individual permitted by the Act to be so indemnified
in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the
provisions of the Act, except in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment
in its favour, the Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer of the Corporation, a former director or officer of the Corporation
or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation
is or was a shareholder or creditor (or, if permitted by the Act, of another entity or an individual acting in a similar capacity
of another entity) and the director's or officer's (or, if permitted by the Act, such individual's) heirs and legal representatives,
against all costs, charges and expenses, including costs incurred in the defence of an action or proceeding and an amount paid
to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by such director or officer in respect of any civil, criminal or
administrative action or proceeding (or, if permitted by the Act, any investigative action or proceeding) to which the director
or officer (or, if permitted by the Act, such individual) is made a party (or, if permitted by the Act, is otherwise involved)
by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or body corporate (or, if permitted by the Act, is otherwise
involved because of that association with the Corporation or other entity), if:
|
(a)
|
the director or officer (or, if permitted by the Act, such individual) acted honestly and in good
faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation (or, if permitted by the Act, 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's request);
and
|
|
(b)
|
in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary
penalty, the director or officer (or, if permitted by the Act, such individual) had reasonable grounds for believing that the director's
or officer's (or, if permitted by the Act, such individual's) conduct was lawful.
|
(2) The Corporation
shall, subject to the approval of the Supreme Court (as defined in the Act), indemnify a person referred to in Paragraph 30(1)
hereof in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Corporation or a body corporate (or, if permitted by the Act, other entity)
to procure a judgment in its favour, to which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer
of the Corporation or body corporate (or, if permitted by the Act, because of the person's association with the Corporation or
other entity as described in Paragraph 30(1)), against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the person in connection
with such action if such person fulfills the conditions set out in Paragraph 30(1)(a) and (b) hereof.
(3) The Corporation
may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in Paragraph 30(1) to the extent permitted by the
Act.”
The provisions of Section
30 of the Registrant’s By-Laws No. 2 are in accordance with sections 126 (1) and (2) of the Act, which deal with indemnification
of directors and officers against actions by third parties and indemnification of directors and officers against actions by the
corporation.
The Registrant enters
into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and it officers (each an “Indemnitee”). Each
indemnification agreement requires the Registrant to indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the law for any
losses the Indemnitee suffers or incurs as it relates to Indemnitee’s status, acts or omissions as a director and/or officer
of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries. Under each indemnification agreement, the Registrant has agreed to pay, in advance
of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by each Indemnitee
in defending or otherwise responding to such action or proceeding. The Registrant has agreed to advance funds to the Indemnitee
prior to the incurrence of such expenses in order that they may timely pay such expenses as they arise. The indemnification agreements
provide for procedures to determine whether the Indemnitees have satisfied the applicable standards of conduct that would entitle
them to indemnification. If there is a question as to whether the Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct,
the advance shall be in a form of an unsecured loan bearing interest calculated at a rate equal to the prime commercial lending
rate that becomes payable to the Registrant upon a determination such standard of conduct was not met. The contractual rights to
indemnification provided by the indemnification agreements are subject to the limitations and conditions specified in those agreements,
and are in addition to any other rights the Indemnitees may have under the Registrant’s articles of continuance and by- laws
(each as amended from time to time) and applicable law.
The Registrant also
maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising from the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.
