<PAGE>   3

        3.     ELIGIBILITY

        Participation in the Plan shall be limited to Participants who are
designated from time to time by the Committee. Participation shall be voluntary
and the extent to which any Participant shall be entitled to participate in the
Plan shall be determined by the Committee.

        4.     PRICE FOR OPTION SHARES

        The Committee shall advise each Participant designated to participate in
the Plan of the number of Option Shares such Participant is entitled to purchase
and the Option Price at which the Option Shares may be purchased and the Vesting
Period. The Option Price at which the Option Shares may be purchased under the
Plan shall be fixed by the Committee based upon the Fair Market Value of the
Common Shares. The Committee may impose performance thresholds which will need
to be met prior to vesting of any Options granted.

        5.     EXERCISE

        Options granted under the Plan must be exercised within such period as
fixed by the Committee, not exceeding 10 years from the Date of Grant, failing
which the Participant's right to purchase such Option Shares lapses.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, unless otherwise determined by
the Committee, no options may be exercised unless the Option Shares are publicly
traded or control of the Company has been acquired in a takeover transaction.
Subject to the foregoing, the Vesting Periods during which Options or a portion
thereof vest and may be exercised by the Participant shall be set forth in the
Stock Option Agreement to be executed by the Participant, in the form attached
hereto as Appendix "A," as amended by the Company and the Participant.

        Notwithstanding the Vesting Period set forth in the Stock Option
Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to any
Participant, accelerate the vesting of all or any of the Options such that the
Options become immediately fully vested. In such circumstances, the Committee
may by written notice compel the Participant to exercise the Options within 30
days of the date of such written notice to exercise, failing which the
Participant's right to purchase such Option Shares lapses.

        The Committee in its discretion may require that the exercise of an
Option shall be subject to the Option holder signing a counterpart of the then
existing shareholders agreement of the Company or any other agreement which is
to apply to Option holders.

        6.     PAYMENT

        Subject to Article 5 above, the Participant from time to time and at any
time after the vesting of any Options and prior to the lapse of such Options,
may elect to purchase all or a portion of the Option Shares available for
purchase by lump sum payment by delivering to the Company at its head office, a
completed stock option purchase form in the form attached hereto as Appendix
"A.1". Payment may be made by cash, certified cheque, bank draft, money order or
the equivalent payable to the order of Netergy in United States dollars.



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

        7.     SHARE CERTIFICATE

        Upon exercise of the Option and payment in full of the purchase price
the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable
period of time a duplicate certificate or certificates in the name of the
Participant representing the number of Option Shares the Participant has
purchased. The original share certificate shall be held in trust by the Company
for delivery to the holder when the shares are to be transferred, as authorized
by the Plan.

        8.     ADJUSTMENT IN SHARES

        The Committee will make appropriate adjustments in the number of Common
Shares subject to the Plan and, as regards Options granted or to be granted, in
the number of Common Shares optioned and in the Option Price, to give effect to
the adjustments in the number of Common Shares resulting from sub-divisions,
consolidations or re-classification of the Common Shares or other relevant
changes (an "Event") in the authorized or issued capital of the Parent. No
fractions of shares need be issued on the exercise of the Options and,
accordingly, if after an Event a Participant has a right to a fraction of a
share, he will only have the right to purchase the next lower whole number of
shares and no payment or other adjustment will be effected with respect to the
right to participate in the fraction which was not taken into account. When an
Event occurs, the number of shares that the Board of Directors authorized under
the Plan shall be adjusted appropriately.

        In the event that the Parent proposes to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up,
the Company may give written notice thereof to each Participant holding Options
under the Plan and in such case Participants shall be entitled to exercise all
or a portion of the Options granted to such Participants, whether or not such
Options have vested, within the 30-day period next following the giving of such
notice. Upon the expiration of such 30 day period, all rights of the
Participants to the Option Shares or to the exercise of the Options shall
terminate and cease to have any further force and effect.

        In the event of a merger of the Parent with or into another corporation,
or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Parent, each outstanding
Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the
successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In
the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute the
Option, the Option shall fully vest and the Participant shall have the right to
exercise the Option as to all of the Option Shares, including Option Shares
which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option becomes fully
vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
merger or sale of assets, the Committee shall notify the Participant in writing
or electronically that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a
period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option shall
terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this
paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following such merger or
sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive,
for each share of Option Shares, immediately prior to the merger or sale of
assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Shares for each
share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered
a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Common Shares); provided, however, that if such
consideration received in the merger or sale of



                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent,
the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for
the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each share
of Optioned Shares to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Common Shares in the merger or sale of assets.

        9.     TERMINATION OF PARTICIPANT FOR ANY REASON

        Subject to Article 5 above, in the event that an Employee's employment
with the Company, the Parent or any of their subsidiaries is terminated for any
reason, a Director shall cease to be a Director on the Board of Directors for
any reason or a Service Provider ceases to provide services to the Company, the
Participant or the Participant's legal representative, as the case may be, may
elect to purchase at the Option Price all or a portion of the remaining Option
Shares subject to Options that have vested at the time such employment, position
on the Board of Directors or services with the Company is terminated at any time
during the 30 day period, or such later date as determined by the Board of
Directors, following the date of such termination of employment or position on
the Board of Directors or termination of services of a Service Provider (but in
no event after the lapse of any Options held), failing which the exercise of any
such Options shall lapse. Any Options not vested shall lapse, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee at the time the Employee's employment is terminated,
the Director ceases to be a Director on the Board of Directors or the Service
Provider ceases to provide services to the Company. To the extent the Common
Shares are not listed on any Exchange, the Company may, at any time within one
year after termination, elect to purchase at the same Option Price paid by the
Participant or the Participant's legal representative all of the Common Shares
purchased by such Participant under this Plan. For the purposes of this Plan,
the transfer of the Employee's employment to the Company, the Parent or to any
subsidiary of the Company or the Parent shall not be considered a termination of
employment and the Employee's rights under the Option shall be the same as if
such transfer had not occurred.

        10.    TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT

        The Participant's rights under Options granted under the Plan are not
assignable or transferable by the Participant or subject to any other
alienation, sale, pledge or encumbrance by such Participant during the
Participant's lifetime and therefore the Options are exercisable during the
Participant's lifetime only by the Participant. The obligations of each
Participant shall be binding on his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

        11.    EMPLOYMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION NON-CONTRACTUAL

        The granting of an Option to a Participant under the Plan does not
confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employment of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company or as a member of the Board of
Directors or as a Service Provider, as the case may be, nor does it interfere in
any way with the rights of the Employee or of the Company's rights to terminate
the Employee's employment at any time or of the shareholders' right to elect
Directors.



                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

        12.    RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDERS

        Participants shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to
Option Shares until full payment has been made to the Parent and a share
certificate or share certificates have been duly issued.

        13.    ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

        The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall
have the power to interpret and construe the terms and conditions of the Plan
and the Options. Any determination by the Committee shall be final and
conclusive on all persons affected thereby unless otherwise determined by the
Board of Directors. The day-to-day administration of the Plan may be delegated
to such officers and employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company
as the Committee shall determine.

        14.    EMPLOYEE LOANS

        The Board of Directors may authorize the Company to lend or cause to be
lent to Employees such portion of the purchase price of the Option Shares under
the Plan as an Employee may request and as the Committee administering the Plan
may approve for authorization by the Board of Directors. The terms and
conditions of such loan which may be interest free, are to be determined by the
Committee.

        15.    NOTICES

        All written notices to be given by the Participant to the Company may be
delivered personally or by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as
follows:

Participant on the records of the Company and shall be effective seven days

        16.    CORPORATE ACTION

        Nothing contained in the Plan or in the Option shall be construed so as
to prevent the Company or any subsidiary of the Company from taking corporate
action which is deemed by the Company or the subsidiary to be appropriate or in
its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on
the Plan.

        17.    AMENDMENTS

        The Board of Directors of the Company shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to alter, amend or discontinue the Plan from time to time and at any
time. No such amendment or discontinuation, however, may, without the consent of
the Participant, alter or impair the rights or increase the obligations of a
Participant under the Plan. Any amendment to the Plan may require the prior
approval of the Exchange and may require the approval of the Company's
shareholders.

        18.    GOVERNING LAW

        The Plan is established under the laws of the Province of Quebec and the
rights of all parties and the construction and effect of each provision of the
Plan shall be according to the laws of the Province of Quebec and the laws of
Canada applicable therein.

        19.    GOVERNMENT REGULATION

        The Company's obligation to cause the issuance and deliver Common Shares
under any Option is subject to:

securities law in respect thereof and obtaining all regulatory approvals as the
Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the
authorization, issuance or sale thereof, including shareholder approval, if
required;

               (b) the admission of such Common Shares to listing on any stock
exchange on which Common Shares may then be listed; and

               (c) the receipt from the Participant of such representations,
agreements and undertakings as to future dealings in such Common Shares as the
Company determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against
the violation of the securities law of any jurisdiction.

In this connection, the Company shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such
approvals and registrations as may be necessary for the issuance of such Common
Shares in compliance with applicable securities law and for the listing of such
Common Shares on any stock exchange on which such Common Shares are then listed.
