                  granted under the Plan;

            (ii)  the 3,262,530 Shares issuable upon exercise of options
                  previously granted under Prior Plans which options will
                  continue to be subject to such Prior Plans unless such options
                  are surrendered in accordance with the terms of such Prior
                  Plans, terminate or expire without being exercised in whole or
                  in part in which case new Options may be granted under the

                  the terms thereof, terminate or expire without being exercised
                  in whole or in part in which case new Options may be granted

            (iv)  an additional 4,571,582 Shares not previously available under
                  the Prior Plans or upon exercise of any previously granted
                  options and which are now available for issue upon exercise of
                  Options granted under the Plan.

      In addition, the maximum aggregate number of shares reserved for issue at
      any time upon the exercise of Options granted to Insiders shall not exceed
      10% of the total number of Shares then outstanding. The aggregate number
      of Shares reserved for issue to any one person upon the exercise of
      Options shall not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares then
      outstanding. In addition, the maximum number of Shares issuable to
      Insiders pursuant to the Plan and any other Share Compensation
      Arrangement, within a one-year period, shall not exceed 10% of the total
      number of Shares then outstanding. The maximum number of Shares issuable
      to any one Insider and the associates of such Insider pursuant to the Plan
      and any other Share Compensation Arrangement, within a one-year period,

      purposes of this Section 2.06 the number of Shares then outstanding shall
      mean the number of Shares outstanding on a non-diluted basis immediately
      prior to the proposed grant of the applicable Option or issue of Shares,
      as the case may be, excluding Shares issued pursuant to Share Compensation
      Arrangements over the preceding one-year period. If the Corporation
      repurchases for cancellation Shares such that any of the foregoing
      percentage tests are not met following such repurchase, this shall not
      constitute non-compliance under the Plan for any Options then outstanding.

Section 2.07 GRANT OF OPTIONS TO ELIGIBLE DIRECTORS: The aggregate number of
Options which may be granted under this Plan to Eligible Directors who are not
employees or officers of the Corporation or a Designated Subsidiary as a group
shall not exceed 360,000, provided that, subject to regulatory approval, such
number may be increased to a number equal to the product of 40,000 multiplied by
the number of Eligible Directors who are not employees or officers of the
Corporation or a Designated Subsidiary. To the extent that Options are exercised
by Eligible Directors who are not employees or officers of the Corporation or a
Designated Subsidiary, the aggregate number of Options available will be reduced
by the number of Options so exercised.

may be exercised unless the Optionee at the time of exercise thereof is:

      (a)   in the case of an Eligible Employee, an officer of the Corporation
            or a Designated Subsidiary or in the employment of the Corporation
            or a Designated Subsidiary and has been continuously an officer or

            Designated Subsidiary shall not be considered an interruption of
            employment for purposes of the Plan;

      (b)   in the case of an Eligible Director, a Director or a director of a

Optionee under the Option shall pass by the will of the Optionee or the laws of
descent and distribution for a period of twelve months after the date of death

            (and is not or does not continue to be an employee thereof); or

      (b)   cease to be employed by, or provide services to, or be an officer of
            the Corporation or any of its Designated Subsidiaries (and is not or

            Corporation or a Designated Subsidiary in accordance with the
            retirement policy of the Corporation as it may exist from time to
            time ("Retirement"), such Plan Member may for a period of one year
            following such Retirement, exercise his or her Options which have
            vested or shall vest within such one year period following
            Retirement, provided that in no event shall such right extend beyond
            the Option Period.

Section 4.01 NON-QUALIFYING PLAN: The Plan is not meant to qualify as an

Section 4.02 WITHHOLDING TAXES: The Corporation or any Designated Subsidiary may

Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States of
America may be required to represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that:

            registration under the U.S. Securities Act or to be qualified under
            the securities laws of any state of the United States of America;

            the registrar and transfer agent for the Shares to the following
            effect:

            "The undersigned (a) acknowledges that the sale of the

            the offer and sale of such Shares. Terms used herein have the
            meanings given to them by Regulation S.";

            and provided further that if such Shares are being sold pursuant to
            an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act
            provided by Rule 144 thereunder, the foregoing legend may be removed
            by delivery to the registrar and transfer agent for the Shares of an
            opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory
            to the Corporation, to the effect that such legend is no longer
            required under applicable requirement of the U.S. Securities Act or
            state securities laws;

      (d)   other than as contemplated by Subsection 4.03(c) hereof, prior to
            making any disposition of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan
            which might be subject to the registration requirements of the U.S.
            Securities Act, the Plan Member shall give written notice to the
            Corporation describing the manner of the proposed disposition and
            containing such other information as is necessary to enable counsel
            for the Corporation to determine whether registration under the U.S.
            Securities Act or qualification under any securities laws of any
            state of the United States of America is required in connection with
            the proposed disposition and whether the proposed disposition is
            otherwise in compliance with such legislation and the regulations
            thereto;

      (e)   other than as contemplated by Subsection 4.03(c) hereof, the Plan
            Member will not attempt to effect any disposition of the Shares
            owned by the Plan Member and acquired pursuant to the Plan or of any
            interest therein which might be subject to the registration
            requirements of the U.S. Securities Act in the absence of an
            effective registration statement relating thereto under the U.S.
            Securities Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and
            substance to counsel for the Corporation that such disposition would
            not constitute a violation of the U.S. Securities Act and then will
            only dispose of such Shares in the manner so proposed;

      (f)   the Corporation may place a notation on the records of the
            Corporation to the effect that none of the Shares acquired by the
            Plan Member pursuant to the Plan shall be transferred unless the
            provisions of the Plan have been complied with; and

      (g)   the effect of these restrictions on the disposition of the Shares
            acquired by the Plan Member pursuant to the Plan is such that the
            Plan Member may not be able to sell or otherwise dispose of such
            Shares for a considerable length of time in a transaction which is
            subject to the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act other than as
            contemplated by Subsection 4.03(c) hereof.

only be effective upon such amendment, modification or change being approved by
the shareholders of the Corporation.

Section 5.03 NON-ASSIGNABLE: No rights under the Plan and no Option awarded

approved by the Committee.

Section 5.04 RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER: No Optionee shall have any rights as a

the Corporation or any Designated Subsidiary to discharge any Plan Member at any
time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Participation in the Plan
by a Plan Member shall be voluntary.

Section 5.06 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.: If there is a consolidation, merger or
statutory amalgamation or arrangement of the Corporation with or into another
corporation, a separation of the business of the Corporation into two or more
entities or a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation to another entity, upon the exercise of an Option under the Plan,
the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the securities, property or cash
which the holder would have received upon such consolidation, merger,
amalgamation, arrangement, separation or transfer if the holder had exercised
the Option immediately prior to such event, unless the Directors otherwise
determine the basis upon which such Option shall be exercisable, which may
include permitting all Options outstanding at the time of such event to become
immediately exercisable, notwithstanding Section 3.05 hereof.

Section 5.07 ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN: In the event
there is any change in the Shares, whether by reason of a stock dividend,
consolidation, subdivision, reclassification or otherwise, an appropriate

      (b)   the number of Shares subject to any Option; and

      (c)   the exercise price of the Shares subject to Options.

If the foregoing adjustment shall result in a fractional Share, the fraction
shall be disregarded. All such adjustments shall be conclusive, final and
binding for all purposes of the Plan.

Section 5.08 SECURITIES EXCHANGE TAKE-OVER BID: In the event that the

Securities Act (Ontario)) pursuant to which 100% of the issued and outstanding
Shares are acquired by the offeror either directly or as a result of the
compulsory acquisition provisions of the Act, and where consideration is paid in
whole or in part in equity securities of the offeror, the Committee may send
notice to all Optionees requiring them to surrender their Options within 10 days
of the mailing of such notice, and the Optionees shall be deemed to have
surrendered such Options on the tenth day after the mailing of such notice
without further formality, provided that:

      (a)   the offeror delivers with such notice an irrevocable and
            unconditional offer to grant replacement options to the Optionees on
            the equity securities offered as consideration;

      (b)   the Committee has determined, in good faith, that such replacement
            options have substantially the same economic value as the Options
            being surrendered; and

            be effected on a tax free roll-over basis under the Income Tax Act
