RECITALS:
WHEREAS officers and directors of publicly traded corporations and their subsidiaries are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the corporation or business enterprise itself; and
WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-traded corporations or their subsidiaries as directors or officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and indemnification against the risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to, and activities on behalf of, such corporations; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the Board) of APOLLO GOLD CORPORATION, a publicly held Yukon Territory corporation which owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries (the Company), has determined that, to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company and the Subsidiaries will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at their sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons directly and indirectly serving the Company and/or the Subsidiaries from certain liabilities; and
WHEREAS, such persons will directly or indirectly serve the Company and/or the Subsidiaries at the specific request of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries; and
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company or any Subsidiary free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified, and the Company has done so through execution and delivery of an indemnity agreement of even date herewith between Company and Indemnitee under the laws of the Yukon Territory; and
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to cause the Subsidiaries contractually to obligate themselves to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as provided in this Agreement so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company or any Subsidiary free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the By-laws of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefore, nor to diminish or to abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and
WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary on the condition that he or she be so indemnified; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Subsidiaries to provide such director and officer insurance and contractual indemnification as set forth herein.

Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if he or she acted in Good Faith (as hereinafter defined) and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or any Subsidiary and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 4. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 7. Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Subsidiaries shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in which Indemnitee is involved by reason of Indemnitees Corporate Status within 10 days after the receipt by the any Subsidiary of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Indemnitee may forward to any Subsidiary the invoices of Indemnitees legal counsel which shall satisfy the above requirement.

Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 7 shall be unsecured and interest free.
Section 8. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to any Subsidiary a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Subsidiary receiving the request shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Boards of all Subsidiaries in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. The Indemnitee shall be conclusively presumed to have met the relevant standards of conduct required under applicable law for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, unless a determination is made that the Indemnitee has not met such s tandards by (i) the Board of [each?] Subsidiary by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of members who were not parties to such proceeding; (ii) the stockholder(s) of [each?] Subsidiary by a majority vote; or (iii) by an order or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) No Subsidiary shall be required to obtain the consent of Indemnitee to the settlement of any Proceeding such Subsidiary has undertaken to defend if the Company assumes full and sole responsibility for such settlement and the settlement grants Indemnitee a complete and unqualified release in respect of the potential liability. Such Subsidiary shall not be liable for any amount paid by the Indemnitee in settlement of any Proceeding that is not defended by the Subsidiary, unless the Subsidiary has consented to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 9. Presumptions; Reliance and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in Good Faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of any Subsidiary or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
3 | ||
|
(b) For purposes of any determination of Good Faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in Good Faith if Indemnitees action is based on the records or books of account of the Company and/or the Subsidiaries, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers, agents or employees of the Company and/or the Subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company and/or the Subsidiaries or on information or records given or reports made to the Company and/or the Subsidiaries by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, financial advisor or other expert or professional selected with reasonable care by the Company and/or the Subsidiaries. The provisions of this Section 9(b) sh all not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
(c) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company and/or the Subsidiaries shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
Section 10. Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a) If (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 8 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 7, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(a) within 60 days after receipt by a Subsidiary of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5, Section 6, or Section 8(a) within 10 days after receipt by a Subsidiary of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 is not made within 10 days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Subsidiary shall have waived its right to deny indemnification hereunder.
(b) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 8 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Subsidiaries shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitees statements not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
Section 11. Nonexclusivity; Insurance; Subrogation.
(a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Subsidiaries or the Companys respective Certificates of Incorporation, the Subsidiaries or the Companys respective By-laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the DGCL, wh ether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Subsidiaries or the Companys respective Certificates of Incorporation, By-laws and this Agreement, it is the agreement and intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Subsidiaries shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company or any Subsidiary to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(e) The Subsidiaries obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually theretofore received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
