ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

As authorized by the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, we may indemnify our directors and officers or former directors or officers against all costs, charges and expenses (including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment actually and reasonably incurred by him or her) in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant, if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the company and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding if he or she had reasonable grounds for believing his or her conduct was lawful. The Business Corporations Act also provides for mandatory payment of expenses by the Registrant in certain circumstances.

The Business Corporations Act permits us to indemnify its directors without court approval, and may also require re-imbursement of expenses in certain cases for claims that are successfully defended. We may also advance defence costs in certain cases. The Business Corporations Act also allows us to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers.

Our corporate articles provide that, subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act, we must indemnify our directors, former directors or alternate directors and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and we must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding.

The effect of these provisions is potentially to indemnify the Registrant’s directors and officers from all costs and expenses of liability incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which they are involved by reason of their affiliation with the Registrant.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

(1)	The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
	(a)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
		(i)	To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
		(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
		(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
		provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
	(b)	That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(c)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(2)	The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defence of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Vancouver, province of British Columbia, Canada on December 1, 2006.
