Eligibility for Options

Options may be granted to Employees, Senior Officers, Directors, Non-Employee Directors, Management Company Employees, and Consultants of the Company and its Affiliates who are, in the opinion of the Committee, in a position to contribute to the success of the Company or any of its Affiliates or who, by virtue of their service to the Company or any predecessors thereof or to any of its Affiliates, are in the opinion of the Committee, worthy of special recognition.  Except as may be otherwise set out in this Plan, the granting of Options is entirely discretionary.  Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give any person any right to participate in this Plan or to be granted an Option and the designation of any Optionee in any year or at any time shall not require the designation of such person to receive an Option in any other year or at any other time.  The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting participants and in determining the amounts and terms of their respective Options.

4.3

Subject to the acceptance of this Plan for filing by the TSX, any options over securities of the Company previously granted by the Company which remain outstanding as at November 28, 2002, will be deemed to have been issued under and will be governed by the terms of the Plan provided that, in the event of inconsistency between the terms of the agreements governing such options previously granted and the terms of the Plan, the terms of such agreements shall govern.  Any Shares issuable upon exercise of such options granted previously will be included for the purpose of calculating the amounts set out in subsection 5.1 hereof.

4.4

Subject to any applicable regulatory approvals, Options may also be granted under the Plan in exchange for outstanding options granted by the Company or any predecessor Company thereof or any Affiliate thereof, whether such outstanding options were granted under the Plan, under any other stock option plan of the Company or any predecessor Company or any Affiliate thereof, or under any stock option agreement with the Company or any predecessor Company or Affiliate thereof.

4.5

Subject to any applicable regulatory approvals, Options may also be granted under the Plan in substitution for outstanding options of one or more other companies in connection with a plan of arrangement or exchange, amalgamation, merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, or other reorganization between or involving such other companies the Company or any of its Affiliates.

5.

Number of Shares Reserved under the Plan

5.1

The number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Plan, is limited as follows:

(a)

the maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall be a maximum of ten 10% percent of the number of issued and outstanding Shares at the date of grant (including Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options as at November 28, 2002, referred to in subsection 4.3 hereof), provided that:

(i)

if any Option subject to the Plan is forfeited, expires, is terminated or is cancelled for any reason whatsoever (other than by reason of the exercise thereof, in which case the Shares are automatically reloaded and available for future Option grants), then the maximum number of Shares for which Options may be granted hereunder shall be increased by the number of Shares which were the subject of such forfeited, expired, terminated or cancelled Option;

(ii)

such maximum number of Shares shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of any subdivision or consolidation of the Shares; and

(b)

if and for so long as the Shares are listed on the TSX, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be reserved under the Plan or other share compensation arrangements of the Company for issuance to:

(i)

Insiders may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding number of Shares; and

(ii)

Insiders within a one-year period may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

6.

Number of Optioned Shares per Option

6.1

Subject always to the limitations in subsection 5.1, the number of Optioned Shares under an Option shall be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, at the time such Option is granted, taking into consideration the Optionees present and potential contribution to the success of the Company and taking into account all other Options then held by such Optionee.

7.

Price

7.1

The exercise price per Optioned Share under an Option shall be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, at the time such Option is granted, but such price shall be fixed in compliance with the applicable provisions of the TSX Company Manual in force at the time of grant and, in any event, shall not be less than the closing price of the Shares on the TSX on the trading day immediately preceding the day on which the Option is granted (provided that if there are no trades on such day then the last closing price within the preceding ten trading days will be used, and if there are no trades within such ten-day period, then the simple average of the bid and ask prices on the trading day immediately preceding the day of grant will be used).  The exercise price at which, and the number of optioned securities for which, an outstanding Option may be exercised following a subdivision or consolidation of the Shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with section 11.

7.2

The exercise price per Optioned Share under an Option may be reduced at the discretion of the Committee if:

(a)

at least six months has elapsed since the later of the date such Option was granted and the date the exercise price for such Option was last amended; and

(b)

disinterested shareholder approval is obtained for any reduction in the exercise price under an Option held by an Insider of the Company;

provided that no such conditions will apply in the case of an adjustment made under section 11.

8.

Option Period and Exercise of Options

8.1

The Option Period for an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted and may be up to ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted.  At the time an Option is granted, the Committee may determine that, with respect to that Option, upon the occurrence of one of the events described in subsection 10.1 there shall come into force a time limit for exercise of such Option which is different than the Option Period, and in the event of such a determination, the Option Agreement for such Option shall contain provisions which specify the events and time limits related to that determination.  Subject to the applicable maximum Option Period provided for in this subsection 8.1 and subject to applicable regulatory requirements and approvals, the Committee may extend the Option Period of an outstanding Option beyond its original expiration date provided that disinterested shareholder approval is obtained for any extension of the Option Period of an outstanding Option held by an Insider.

8.2

The Committee may determine when any Option will become exercisable and may determine that the Option shall be exercisable in instalments.

8.3

If there is a takeover bid or tender offer made for all or any of the issued and outstanding Shares, then the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion and if permitted by applicable legislation, unilaterally determine that  outstanding Options, whether fully vested and exercisable or subject to vesting provisions or other limitations on exercise, shall be conditionally exercisable in full to enable the Optioned Shares subject to such Options to be conditionally issued and tendered to such bid or offer, subject to the condition that if the bid or offer is not duly completed the exercise of such Options and the issue of such Shares will be rescinded and nullified and the Options, including any vesting provisions or other limitations on exercise which were in effect will be re-instated.

8.4

The vested portions of Options will be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after vesting.  If an Option is exercised for fewer than all of the Optioned Shares for which the Option has then vested, the Option shall remain in force and exercisable for the remaining Optioned Shares for which the Option has then vested, according to the terms of such Option.

8.5

The exercise of any Option will be contingent upon receipt by the Company of payment in full for the exercise price of the Shares being purchased in cash by way of certified cheque or bank draft.  Neither an Optionee nor the legal representatives, legatees or distributees of such Optionee will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any Shares subject to an Option under the Plan unless and until certificates for such Shares are issuable to the Optionee or such other persons pursuant to the Option or the Plan.

8.6

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 8.1 or the date of expiration of an Option determined in accordance with this Plan (Fixed Term), the date of expiration of an Option will be adjusted, without being subject to Board or Committee discretion, to take into account any blackout period imposed on the Optionee by the Company as follows:

(a)

if the Fixed Term expiration date falls within a blackout period imposed on the Optionee by the Company, then the Fixed Term expiration date is extended to the close of business on the tenth (10th) business day after the end of such blackout period (the Blackout Expiration Term); or

(b)

if the Fixed Term expiration date falls within two (2) business days after the end of a blackout period imposed on the Optionee by the Company, then the Fixed Term expiration date will be that date which is the Blackout Expiration Term reduced by the number of business days between the Fixed Term expiration date and the end of such blackout period (i.e. Options whose Fixed Term expires two (2) business days after the end of the blackout period will only have an additional eight (8) business days to exercise).

9.

Stock Option Agreement

9.1

Upon the grant of an Option to an Optionee, the Company and the Optionee shall enter into an Option Agreement setting out the number of Optioned Shares subject to the Option, the Option Period and, if applicable, the vesting schedule for the Option, and incorporating the terms and conditions of the Plan and any other requirements of regulatory authorities and stock exchanges having jurisdiction over the securities of the Company, together with such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the Plan.

10.

Effect of Termination of Employment or Death

10.1

An outstanding Option shall remain in full force and effect and exercisable according to its terms for the Option Period notwithstanding that the holder of such Option ceases to be a Director, Employee, Senior Officer or Consultant of the Company for any reason, including death, subject always to any express term in any Option Agreement made pursuant to subsection 8.1 which provides that upon the occurrence of one of such events there shall come into force a time limit for exercise of such Option which is different than the Option Period.  So long as the Shares are listed on the TSX (unless otherwise permitted by the TSX) the maximum period within which the heirs or administrators of a deceased Optionee may exercise any portion of an outstanding Option is one (1) year from the date of death or the balance of the Option Period, which ever is earlier.

10.2

In the event of the death of an Optionee, an Option which remains exercisable may be exercised in accordance with its terms by the person or persons to whom such Optionees rights under the Option shall have passed under the Optionees will or pursuant to law.

11.

Adjustment in Shares Subject to the Plan

11.1

Following the date an Option is granted, the exercise price for and the number of Optioned Shares which are subject to an Option will be adjusted, with respect to the then unexercised portion thereof, by the Committee from time to time (on the basis of such advice as the Committee considers appropriate, including, if considered appropriate by the Committee, a certificate of the auditor of the Company) in the events and in accordance with the provisions and rules set out in this section 11, with the intent that the rights of Optionees under their Options are, to the extent possible, preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of such events.  The Committee will conclusively determine any dispute that arises at any time with respect to any adjustment pursuant to such provisions and rules, and any such determination will be binding on the Company, the Optionee and all other affected parties.

11.2

The number of Optioned Shares to be issued on the exercise of an Option shall be adjusted from time to time to account for each dividend of Shares (other than a dividend in lieu of cash dividends paid in the ordinary course), so that upon exercise of the Option for an Optioned Share the Optionee shall receive, in addition to such Optioned Share, an additional number of Shares (Additional Shares), at no further cost, to adjust for each such dividend of Shares.  The adjustment shall take into account every dividend of Shares that occurs between the date of the grant of the Option and the date of exercise of the Option for such Optioned Share.  If there has been more than one such dividend, the adjustment shall also take into account that the dividends that are later in time would have been distributed not only on the Optioned Share had it been outstanding, but also on all Additional Shares which would have been outstanding as a result of previous dividends.

11.3

If the outstanding Shares are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or into or for other securities of the Company or securities of another Company or entity, whether through an arrangement, amalgamation or other similar procedure or otherwise, or a share recapitalization, subdivision or consolidation, then on each exercise of the Option which occurs following such events, for each Optioned Share for which the Option is exercised, the Optionee shall instead receive the number and kind of shares or other securities of the Company or other Company into which such Option Share would have been changed or for which such Option Share would have been exchanged if it had been outstanding on the date of such event.

11.4

If the outstanding Shares are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or into or for other securities of the Company or securities of another Company or entity, in a manner other than as specified in subsections 11.2 or 11.3, then the Committee, in its sole discretion, may make such adjustment to the securities to be issued pursuant to any exercise of the Option and the exercise price to be paid for each such security following such event as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion determines to be equitable to give effect to the principle described in subsection 11.1, and such adjustments shall be effective and binding upon the Company and the Optionee for all purposes.

11.5

If the Company distributes, by way of a dividend or otherwise, to all or substantially all holders of Shares, property, evidences of indebtedness or shares or other securities of the Company (other than Shares) or rights, options or warrants to acquire Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or other securities or property of the Company, other than as a dividend in the ordinary course, then, if the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that such action equitably requires an adjustment in the exercise price under any outstanding Option or in the number(s) of Optioned Shares subject to any such Option, or both, such adjustment may be made by the Committee and shall be effective and binding on the Company and the Optionee for all purposes.

11.6

No adjustment or substitution provided for in this section 11 shall require the Company to issue a fractional share in respect of any Option.  Fractional shares shall be eliminated.

11.7

The grant or existence of an Option shall not in any way limit or restrict the right or power of the Company to effect adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, arrangements or changes of its capital or business structure, or to amalgamate, merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

12.

Non-Assignability

12.1

Neither the Options nor the benefits and rights of any Optionee under any Option or under the Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable, except as specifically provided in subsection 10.2 in the event of the death of the Optionee.  During the lifetime of the Optionee, all such Options, benefits and rights may only be exercised by the Optionee.

13.

Employment

13.1

Nothing contained in the Plan shall confer upon any Optionee, or any person employing a Management Company Optionee, any right with respect to employment or continuance of employment with, or the provision of services to, the Company or any of its Affiliates, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Optionees employment or the services of any such person at any time.  Participation in the Plan by an Optionee is voluntary.

14.

Regulatory Acceptances

14.1

The Plan is subject to the acceptance of the Plan for filing by the TSX, and the Committee is authorized to amend the Plan from time to time in order to comply with any changes required from time to time by such applicable regulatory authorities, whether as conditions to the acceptance for filing of the Plan or otherwise, provided that no such amendment will in any way derogate from the rights held by Optionees holding Options (vested or unvested) at the time thereof without the consent of such Optionees.

14.2

The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver Optioned Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Options granted under the Plan is subject to the acceptance of the Plan for filing by the TSX.  If any Shares cannot be issued to any Optionee for any reason, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain such acceptance for filing, then the obligation of the Company to issue such Optioned Shares shall terminate and any amounts paid to the Company for such Optioned Shares shall be returned to the Optionee forthwith without interest or deduction.

15.

Securities Regulation and Tax Withholding

15.1

Where necessary to enable the Company to use an exemption from requirements to register Optioned Shares or file a prospectus or use a registered dealer to distribute Optioned Shares under securities laws applicable to the securities of the Company in any jurisdiction, an Optionee, upon the acquisition of any Optioned Shares by the exercise of Options and as a condition to such exercise, shall provide to the Committee such evidence as the Committee requires to demonstrate that the Optionee or recipient will acquire such Optioned Shares with investment intent (i.e. for investment purposes) and not with a view to their distribution, including an undertaking to that effect in a form acceptable to the Committee.  The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed upon any certificates for the Optioned Shares to make appropriate reference to applicable resale restrictions, and the Optionee or recipient shall be bound by such restrictions.  The Committee also may take such other action or require such other action or agreement by such Optionee or proposed recipient as may from time to time be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws.  This provision shall in no way obligate the Company to undertake the registration or qualification of any Options or the Option Shares under any securities laws applicable to the securities of the Company.

15.2

For all purposes of the Plan, the Committee and the Company may take all such measures as they deem appropriate or necessary to comply with applicable laws, including income tax laws and securities laws and regulations, as well as the rules of regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company or in respect of the securities of the Company.  Without limitation to the foregoing, the Committee and the Company may withhold and remit to tax authorities such sums which might otherwise be due or accruing due by the Company to an Optionee, if such withholding and remittance are required under applicable income tax laws in connection with the grant or exercise of the Optionees Options.

15.3

Issuance, transfer or delivery of certificates for Optioned Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan may be delayed, at the discretion of the Committee, until the Committee is satisfied that the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, and applicable rules of regulatory authorities, have been met.

16.

General Provisions
