Item 9. Undertakings.
----------------------
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) (1) 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 (the
"1933 Act");
(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; and
(iii) To include any additional or changed 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, only to the extent required
by the general rules and regulations of the
Commission.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the 1933 Act, 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.
(3) 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.
(b) That for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933
Act, 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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
1933 Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, executive
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant as outlined
above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act 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,
executive officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, executive 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 of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the 1933 Act, 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, B.C. Canada, on the 3rd day of January,
2001.
