settlement of or otherwise dealing with any claim, cause of action or
dispute of any kind arising in connection with any actions in administering

Company, its Subsidiaries, the Optionees, and all other persons having any
interest therein;

               (c)  to determine the duration and purposes for leaves of

<PAGE>

in the Company's treasury, or partly out of each, such number of Shares as
shall be determined by the Board.  The Committee may in its sole discretion
elect to grant Options that are intended to qualify as "incentive stock
options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code ("ISOs"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Options with respect to at least 95% of the Shares that may
be made subject to Options under the Plan shall be nonqualified stock
options not intended to qualify as ISOs.

          4.2  Upon the granting of an Option, the number of Shares
available under Section 4.1 for the granting of further Options of the same
type (i.e., Fixed Priced Options or Escalating Priced Options) shall be
reduced by the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is granted
or denominated.

          4.3  Whenever any outstanding Option or portion thereof expires,
is canceled, is settled in cash (including the settlement of tax
withholding obligations using Shares) or is otherwise terminated for any
reason without having been exercised or payment having been made in respect
of the entire Option, the Shares allocable to the expired, canceled,
settled or otherwise terminated portion of the Option may again be the
subject of Options granted hereunder of the same type of Option (i.e.,
Fixed Priced Options or Escalating Priced Options) so expired, cancelled,
settled or otherwise terminated.

          4.4  The Committee shall grant Options with respect to at least
371,931 Shares as of the Closing Date.  Prior to the second anniversary of

such Eligible Individuals, including the number of Shares subject to each
Option, the term of the Option (which shall not exceed ten (10) years from
the date of grant) and any other terms or conditions not inconsistent with
the Plan that the Committee determines.   The terms and conditions of each
Option shall be set forth in an Agreement.  The Committee may, subsequent
to the granting of any Option, extend the term thereof, but in no event
shall the term as so extended exceed the maximum term set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 5.

     6.   VESTING AND EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS.

          6.1  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan
or an Agreement, or as otherwise provided in an Agreement, each Escalating
Priced Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to ten percent
of the Shares subject to such Option on December 31, 2002 (the "Initial
Vesting Date"), with respect to an additional twenty percent of the Shares
subject to such Option on each of the first four anniversaries of the
Initial Vesting Date and with respect to the final ten percent of the
Shares subject to the Option on the fifth anniversary of the date on which
the Option is granted.

          6.2  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan
or an Agreement, each Fixed Priced Option shall vest and become exercisable
either (i) with respect to ten percent of the Shares subject to such Option
on the Initial Vesting Date, with respect to an additional twenty percent
of the Shares subject to such Option on each of the first four
anniversaries of the Initial Vesting Date and with respect to the final ten
percent of the Shares subject to the Option on the fifth anniversary of the
date on which the Option is granted, or (ii) based on the achievement by
the Company of EBITDA Targets and/or Cumulative EBITDA Targets over the
Performance Period as set forth in an Agreement.  Schedule A hereto sets
forth the portions of the aggregate number of Shares subject to Fixed
Priced Options granted to an Optionee that are subject to time based
vesting under Section 6.2(i) and that are subject to performance based
vesting under Section 6.2(ii).

          6.3  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan
or an Agreement, with respect to each Fixed Priced Option, in the event
that the EBITDA Target for any fiscal year or portion thereof in a
Performance Period is not achieved and the Cumulative EBITDA Target with
respect to a later fiscal year or portion thereof in such Performance
Period is achieved, then the Option, with respect to the number of Shares
that failed to become exercisable by reason of the Company's failure to
achieve the EBITDA Target for such prior year, shall become vested and
exercisable on the date the Committee determines that such Cumulative
EBITDA Target was achieved.

          6.4  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan,
with respect to each Fixed Priced Option, on the ninth anniversary of the
date such Option is granted it shall become vested and exercisable to the
extent not already vested.

          6.5  EBITDA Targets for each fiscal year or portion thereof
during a Performance Period shall be established by the Committee on or
prior to the date an Option is granted and shall be set forth on a schedule
attached to the Agreement evidencing such Option and may be adjusted from

                               - 9 -

<PAGE>

time to time thereafter by the Committee in its sole discretion to take
into account acquisitions, divestitures, significant deviations in capital
expenditures or leasing or other extraordinary events.

          6.6  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant an
Option after the Closing Date to an Optionee that was employed by the
Company as of the Closing Date, with an adjusted vesting schedule that
causes the Option to be treated, for purposes of vesting, as if it were
granted as of the Closing Date.  The Committee may accelerate the
exercisability of any Option or portion thereof at any time.

     7.   METHOD OF EXERCISE; RIGHTS OF OPTIONEES.

          7.1  The exercise of an Option shall be made only by a written
notice delivered in person or by mail to the Secretary of the Company at
the Company's principal executive office, specifying the number of Shares
to be exercised and, to the extent applicable, accompanied by payment
therefore and otherwise in accordance with the Agreement pursuant to which
the Option was granted.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the
exercise price for any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an
Option shall be paid in cash.  If requested by the Committee, the Optionee
shall deliver the Agreement evidencing the Option to the Secretary of the
Company who shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and return
such Agreement to the Optionee.  No fractional Shares (or cash in lieu
thereof) shall be issued upon exercise of an Option and the number of
Shares that may be purchased upon exercise shall be rounded to the nearest
number of whole Shares.

          7.2  No Optionee shall be deemed for any purpose to be the owner
of any Shares subject to any Option unless and until (a) the Option shall
have been exercised pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) the Company shall
have issued and delivered Shares to the Optionee, and (c) the Optionee's
name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the
Company.

     8.   NON-TRANSFERABILITY.

          No Option shall be Sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by
the Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and an Option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of
such Optionee only by the Optionee or his or her guardian or legal
representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may set forth
in the Agreement evidencing an Option at the time of grant or permit
thereafter, that the Option may be transferred for estate planning purposes
to a Permitted Transferee.  For purposes of this Plan, a Permitted

                               - 10 -

<PAGE>

Transferee of an Option shall be deemed to be the Optionee.  The terms of
an Option shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the beneficiaries,
executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee.

     9.   EFFECT OF A TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

          9.1  If the employment or engagement of the Optionee is
terminated for any reason other than for Cause (or to the extent set forth
in an Agreement, other than by reason of death, Disability or Redundancy),
the portion of the Option that is not then vested and exercisable shall
immediately terminate.  Except as set forth in an Agreement, to the extent
the Option is vested and exercisable as of the date of such termination of
employment or engagement, the Option shall remain exercisable for a period
of ninety (90) days immediately following such termination of employment or
engagement, after which time the Option shall automatically terminate in
full.

          9.2  If the employment or engagement of an Optionee is terminated
for Cause (i) the Option granted to the Optionee hereunder shall
immediately terminate in full and no rights thereunder may be exercised and
(ii) the Company shall have the right to purchase from such Optionee and
the Optionee (or his successor or representative, as the case may be) shall
be required to Sell to the Company, at the election of the Company at any
time following such termination, any of the Shares acquired by the Optionee
upon the exercise of an Option, at a per Share purchase price equal to the
lesser of (x) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of such purchase
by the Company, and (y) the exercise price paid by the Optionee.

          9.3  Prior to an IPO, upon the termination of the employment or
engagement of an Optionee for any reason other than Cause, the Company
shall have the right to purchase from such Optionee and the Optionee (or
his successor or representative, as the case may be) shall be required to
Sell to the Company, at the election of the Company, all Shares acquired by
the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an Option, which Shares have been
held by the Optionee for at least six months, at a per Share purchase price
equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of such purchase.
The Company's right of repurchase described herein shall expire one year
following the later of (i) the date on which the Optionee's employment is
terminated or (ii) the date on which the Shares being purchased by the
Company were acquired by the Optionee.

     10.  ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

          10.1 In the event of a Change in Capitalization, the Committee
shall conclusively determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to (i)
the maximum number and class of Shares or other stock or securities with

                               - 11 -

<PAGE>

respect to which Options may be granted under the Plan and (ii) the number
and class of Shares or other stock or securities which are subject to
outstanding Options granted under the Plan and the exercise price therefor,
if applicable.

          10.2 If, by reason of a Change in Capitalization, an Optionee
shall be entitled to exercise an Option with respect to new, additional or
different shares of stock or securities of the Company or any other
corporation, such new, additional or different shares shall thereupon be
subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance criteria
which were applicable to the Shares subject to the Option, as the case may
be, prior to such Change in Capitalization.

     11.  EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.

          11.1 Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement evidencing an
Option at the time of grant, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, each
outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right
substituted by the successor or surviving corporation or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the successor or surviving corporation (the "Successor
Corporation"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, such Options shall remain subject to all of the conditions,
restrictions and performance criteria which were applicable to such Options
prior to such assumption or substitution.  For the purpose of this Section
11.1, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the Corporate
Transaction, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each
Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction,
the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property)
received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Shares for each
Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were
offered a choice of consideration, of the type of consideration chosen by
the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares).  All Options shall
terminate and cease to remain outstanding immediately following the
consummation of a Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed or
substituted by the Successor Corporation.

          11.2 Notwithstanding ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN,
IN THE EVENT OF A CORPORATE TRANSACTION, THE COMMITTEE MAY IN ITS SOLE
DISCRETION (A) AUTHORIZE THE REDEMPTION OF THE UNEXERCISED VESTED PORTION
OF THE OPTIONS FOR A CONSIDERATION PER SHARE EQUAL TO THE EXCESS OF (I) THE
CONSIDERATION PAYABLE PER SHARE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH CORPORATE
TRANSACTION, OVER (II) THE EXERCISE PRICE PER SHARE SUBJECT TO THE OPTION,
AND (B) TERMINATE THE UNVESTED PORTION OF SUCH OPTIONS.

          11.3 The Agreement evidencing an Option shall set forth the
effect, if any, of a Change in Control or IRR Event on an Option.

          11.4 Upon the consummation date of an IPO, the exercise price per
Share with respect to each Escalating Price Option shall BE INCREASED BY A
PERCENTAGE EQUAL TO THE PRODUCT OF (I) 15% MULTIPLIED BY (II) A FRACTION,
THE NUMERATOR OF WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF DAYS SINCE THE LAST INCREASE IN THE
EXERCISE PRICE OF THE OPTION AND THE DENOMINATOR OF WHICH IS 365, AND SHALL
BE FIXED AT SUCH LEVEL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TERM OF THE OPTION.

     12.  PLAN AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION; MODIFICATION OF OPTIONS.

          12.1 The Plan shall terminate on the day preceding the tenth
anniversary of the date of its adoption by the Board and no Option may be
granted thereafter.  The Board may sooner terminate the Plan and the Board
may at any time and from time to time amend, modify or suspend the Plan;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:

               (a)  no such amendment, modification, suspension or
termination shall impair or adversely alter any Options theretofore granted
under the Plan, except with the consent of the Optionee, nor shall any
amendment, modification, suspension or termination deprive any Optionee of
any Shares which he or she may have acquired through or as a result of the
Plan; and

               (b)  to the extent necessary under any applicable law,
regulation or exchange requirement, no amendment shall be effective unless
approved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with applicable
law, regulation or exchange requirement.

          12.2 No modification of an Option shall adversely alter or impair
any rights or obligations under the Option without the consent of the
Optionee.

     13.  NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN.

          The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as
amending, modifying or rescinding any previously approved incentive
arrangement or as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to
adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than
under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or
only in specific cases.

     14.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

          As illustrative of the limitations of liability of the Company,
but not intended to be exhaustive thereof, nothing in the Plan shall be
construed to:

                               - 13 -

<PAGE>

               (a)  give any person any right to be granted an Option other
than at the sole discretion of the Committee;

               (b)  give any person any rights whatsoever with respect to
Shares except as specifically provided in the Plan;

               (c)  limit in any way the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any person at any time; or

               (d)  be evidence of any agreement or understanding,
expressed or implied, that the Company will employ any person at any
particular rate of compensation or for any particular period of time.

     15.  REGULATIONS AND OTHER APPROVALS; GOVERNING LAW.

          15.1 Except as to matters of federal law, the Plan and the rights
of all persons claiming hereunder shall be construed and determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to
conflicts of laws principles thereof.

          15.2 The obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Shares with
respect to Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal
and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by
governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Committee.

          15.3 Each Option is subject to the requirement that, if at any
time the Committee determines, in its discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification of Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan is
required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or
the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Option
or the issuance of Shares, no Options shall be granted or payment made or
Shares issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of
any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

     16.  MULTIPLE AGREEMENTS.

          The terms of each Option may differ from other Options granted
under the Plan at the same time, or at different times.  The Committee may
also grant more than one Option to a given Eligible Individual during the
term of the Plan, either in addition to, or in substitution for, one or
more Options previously granted to that Eligible Individual.

     17.  WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

          At such times as an Optionee recognizes taxable income in
connection with the receipt of Shares or cash or other property hereunder
(a "Taxable Event"), the Optionee shall pay to the Company an amount equal
to the minimum statutory withholding taxes in connection with the Taxable
Event (the "Withholding Taxes") prior to the issuance of such Shares or the
payment of such cash or other property.  The Committee may provide in the
Agreement at the time of grant, or at any time thereafter, that the
Optionee, in satisfaction of the obligation to pay Withholding Taxes to the
Company, may elect to have withheld a portion of the Shares then issuable
to him or her having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
Withholding Taxes.

         specific provisions of the Plan:

         (1)   to establish policies and to adopt rules and regulations for

               interpretation, construction or determination made by the
               Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive for all

         (4)   to determine the Option Price of each Option;

         (7)   to prescribe the form of the instruments relating to the grant,
               exercise and other terms of Options.

3.3      The Board or the Committee may, in its discretion, require as

         shall have:

         (1)   represented, warranted and agreed in form and substance
               satisfactory to the Corporation that he or she is acquiring
               and will acquire such Option and the Shares to be issued upon
               the exercise thereof or, as the case may be, is acquiring such
               Shares, for his or her own account, for investment and not
               with a view to or in connection with any distribution, that he
               or she has had access to such information as is necessary to
               enable him or her to evaluate the merits and risks of such
               investment and that he or she is able to bear the economic risk
               of holding such Shares for an indefinite period;

         (2)   agreed to restrictions on transfer in form and substance
               satisfactory to the Corporation and to an endorsement on any
               option agreement or certificate representing the Shares making
               appropriate reference to such restrictions; and

         (3)   agreed to indemnify the Corporation in connection with the
               foregoing.

3.4      Any Option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the requirement
         that, if at any time counsel to the Corporation shall determine that
         the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to
         such Option upon any securities exchange or under any law or
         regulation of any jurisdiction, or the consent or approval of any
         securities exchange or any governmental or regulatory body, is
         necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant or
         exercise such Option or the issuance or purchase of Shares
         thereunder, such Option may not be accepted or exercised in whole or
         in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
         approval shall have been effected or obtained on conditions
         acceptable to the Board or the Committee. Nothing herein shall be
         deemed to require the Corporation to apply for or to obtain such
         listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

3.5      Without limiting the generality of Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 7.2 hereof,
         unless a registration statement relating to the Shares covered by any
         Option issued in favour of an Optionee resident in the United States
         of America has been filed with the United States Securities and
         Exchange Commission and is effective on the date of exercise, the
         exercise of the Option by such Optionee will be contingent upon (i)
         the receipt from the Optionee of a representation in writing
         satisfactory to the Board or the Committee that at the time of such
         exercise it is the Optionee's then intention to acquire the Shares
         being purchased for investment and not for resale or other
         distribution thereof to the public in the United States of America
         and covering such other matters as the Board or the Committee may,
         in its discretion, require, and (ii) the satisfaction of such other
         conditions as applicable law or regulation may require or as the
         Board or the Committee may, in its discretion, require. If such
         representation in writing is required, the Board or the Committee
         may in its discretion inscribe an investment legend on the share
         certificates issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option. The
         issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the Option shall be subject
         to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and Shares shall not
         be issued except upon the approval of proper government agencies or
         stock exchanges as may be required. Provided, however, the Option
         shall not be exercisable if at any date of exercise, it is the
         opinion of counsel for the Corporation that registration of the said
         Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable statute
         or regulation is required unless the Corporation elects to and
         thereafter effects a registration of the Shares subject to the
         Option under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable statute
         or regulation within the period of the Option. If the Option may not
         be exercised, the Corporation shall return to the Optionee, without
         interest or deduction, any funds received by it in connection with
         the proposed exercise of the Option.

3.6      Any Option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the provision
         that, if at any time the Corporation shall determine, in its sole
         discretion, that it is riot reasonably feasible for the Corporation
         to comply with any condition of any law or regulation of any
         jurisdiction in which any Optionee or proposed Optionee is resident,
         which the Corporation has determined is necessary as a condition of,
         or in connection with, the grant or exercise of any Option or the
         issuance or purchase of Shares thereunder, such Option may not be
         accepted or exercised in whole or in part unless such condition is
         complied with by the Corporation on terms acceptable to the Board or
         the Committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the
         Corporation to take any action or refrain from taking any action in
         order to comply with any condition of any law or regulation
         applicable to the grant or exercise of any Option or the issuance or
         purchase of any Shares thereunder.

3.7      Any Option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the provision
         that the Corporation shall require the Optionee to reimburse the
         Corporation for any amounts required to be paid by the Corporation
         to any taxing or other governmental authority on behalf of the
         Optionee or on its own behalf in respect of the grant of the Options
         hereunder or the issuance or disposition of the Shares including,
         without limitation, excise, employment or income withholding taxes.
         In lieu thereof, the grant of the Options and the issuance of the
         Shares upon the exercise thereof by the Optionee is conditional upon
         the Corporation's reservation, in its discretion, of the right to
         withhold, consistent with any applicable law, from any compensation
         or other amounts payable to the Optionee, any amounts required to be
         paid by the Corporation to any taxing or other governmental authority
         on behalf of the Optionee or its own behalf under any federal, state,
         provincial or local law as a result of the grant or exercise of the
         Option or the issuance or disposition of the Shares. To the extent
         that compensation or other amounts, if any, payable to the Optionee
         are insufficient to pay any amounts required to be so paid by the
         Corporation, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, require
         the Optionee, as a condition to the exercise of the Option, to pay
         in cash or by certified cheque to the Corporation an amount
         sufficient to cover such liability or otherwise make adequate
         provision for the Corporation's satisfaction of its obligations
         under federal, state, provincial and/or local law, including,
         without limitation, (i) the holding by the Corporation of the
         share certificate to which the Optionee is entitled upon the
         exercise of the Option as security for the payment of such
         obligation, until cash sufficient to pay that liability has
         accumulated; (ii) to retain some or all of the Shares, having a
         fair market value at the date of the exercise of the Option which is
         equal to the amount of the Corporation's obligations set forth
         above; or (iii) to direct the Optionee's selling broker to withhold
         from the proceeds realized from the sale of the Shares an amount
         which is equal to the Corporation's obligations set forth above and
         to pay such amount directly to the Corporation.

4        Shares Subject to the Plan

4.1      Options may be granted in respect of authorized and unissued Shares,
         provided that the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance
         upon the exercise of all Options issuable under the Plan, subject to
         any adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Article 8 hereof, shall
         not exceed 909,340 Shares, all as may be determined by the Board and
         approved by any relevant stock exchange or other regulatory authority
         and, if required, by the shareholders of the Corporation. Optioned
         Shares in respect of which Options are not exercised shall be
         available for subsequent Options. No fractional Shares may be
         purchased or issued under the Plan.

4.2      If Options granted hereunder are cancelled or surrendered, terminate
         or expire without being exercised in whole or in part in accordance
         with the terms of the Plan, new Options may be granted in respect of
         the number of Shares not purchased under such lapsed Options.

4.3      Subject only to the approval of any stock exchange or over-the-
         counter market on which the Shares may be listed or admitted for
         trading the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, may amend
         the Plan to increase or decrease, as the case may be, the number of
         Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan provided that the number
         of Shares reserved for issuance under the Limited Purpose Plan is
         correspondingly decreased or increased, respectively, and provided
         further that in the event of a decrease in the number of Shares
         reserved for issuance under the Plan pursuant to this Section 4.3,
         the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan thereafter
         shall not be less then the number of Options issued and outstanding
         at the time of such decrease is effective.

5        Eligibility; Grant; Terms of Options

5.1      Options may be granted by the Board or the Committee, if authorized
         to do so by the Board, to any Eligible Person.

5.2      Subject as herein and otherwise specifically provided in this
         Article 5, the number of Shares subject to each Option, the Option
         Price of each Option, the expiration date of each Option, the extent
         to which each Option is exercisable from time to time during the
         term of the Option and other terms and conditions relating to each
         such Option shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, if
         authorized to do so by the Committee. The Board or the Committee
         may, in their entire discretion, subsequent to the time of granting
         Options hereunder, permit an Optionee to exercise any or all of the
         unvested options then outstanding and granted to the Optionee under
         this Plan, in which event all such unvested Options then outstanding
         and granted to the Optionee shall be deemed to be immediately
         exercisable during such period of time as may be specified by the
         Board or the Committee.

5.3      Subject to any adjustments pursuant to the provisions of Article 8
         hereof, the Option Price of any Option granted in 1998 shall be
         $6.45 (Canadian) per Share and the Option Price of any Option
         granted thereafter shall be such price as approved by the Board or
         the Committee, as the case may be, and shall in no circumstances be
         lower than the Market Price on the date on which the grant of the
         Option is approved by the Board or the Committee. If, as and when
         any Shares have been duly purchased and paid for under the terms of
         an Option, such Shares shall be conclusively deemed allotted and
         issued as fully paid non-assessable Shares at the price paid
         therefor.

5.4      (a)   The term of an Option shall not exceed seven years from the
               date of the grant of the Option; and

         (b)   Unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee and
               specifically set out in the Option notification referred to in
               Section 5.7 hereof, Options shall vest as to 20% on each of
               the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the
               date of the grant (the "Option Period");

provided that if the Optionee shall, during any Option Period, not exercise
his or her right to purchase all of the Shares purchasable by him or her
during such Option Period (including any Optioned Shares purchasable by him
or her as a result of the operation of this proviso), then, subject to the
provisions to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Optionee shall have the
right, at any time or from time to time thereafter but prior to the Expiry
Date, to purchase such number of Shares which were purchasable but not
purchased by him or her. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
Option may be exercised prior to the date of vesting thereof.

5.5      The maximum number of Shares which may be reserved for issuance to
         any one person pursuant to Options granted under the Plan or under
         the Limited Purpose Plan shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 5% of
         the issued and outstanding Shares (for purposes hereof, the phrase
         "issued and outstanding Shares" excludes any Shares issued pursuant
         to the Plan or pursuant to the Limited Purpose Plan over the
         preceding one year period).

5.6      An Option is personal to the Optionee and non-assignable (whether by
         operation of law or otherwise), except as provided for herein. Upon
         any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
         dispose of an Option contrary to the provisions of the Plan, or upon
         the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an Option, the
         Option shall, at the election of the Corporation, cease and terminate
         and be of no further force or effect whatsoever.

5.7      All Options granted hereunder shall be evidenced by a notification
         from the Corporation to the Optionee substantially in the form of
         Schedule "1" attached hereto or such other form of agreement as the
         Board or the Committee may from time to time approve, which
         notification shall be delivered by the Board or the Committee to the
         Optionee.

5.8      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan,
         including without limitation the vesting of any Options granted
         hereunder, the Optionee shall have no right to exercise such Options
         until the first to occur of the following:

         (a)   an Initial Public Offering; or

         (b)   the Optionee ceasing to be an Eligible Person pursuant to
               Article 6.

5.9      If the Corporation or its shareholders shall enter into an agreement
         providing for a Sale and if within six months of such Sale the
         employment of the Optionee is terminated by the Corporation or any
         Affiliate (or the Optionee does not continue to be a Service Provider
         thereto or director or officer thereof), the Option may be exercised
         as to any or all of the Shares forming the subject matter of the
         Option in respect of which the Optionee would have been entitled as
         if all vesting periods provided for in the grant of such Options
         occurring during the two year period following the date of the Sale
         had expired at the time of such termination. Such Option may be
         exercised either immediately upon the Optionee having received
         notice of such termination or at any time up to and including, but
         not after 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date which is the earlier
         of (i) the date which is 90 days following the date of such
         termination and (ii) the Expiry Date.

5.10     Upon the occurrence of (i) an Initial Public Offering; or (ii) a
         Sale following which the employment of the Optionee is not
         terminated by the Corporation or any Affiliate (or the Optionee does
         continue to be a Service Provider thereto or a director or officer
         thereof), the Options granted hereunder shall be deemed to continue
         in full force and effect upon substantially the same terms and
         conditions contained in the Plan save only that the Plan may be
         amended to reflect an adjustment in the Optioned Shares so as to
         apply to the securities which holders of Shares become entitled to
         upon the occurrence of such Initial Public Offering or Sale, or in
         the event that holders of Shares do not become entitled to any
         securities resulting therefrom, then to make such payments or to pay
         such other consideration as may be appropriate in the circumstances
         in accordance with a good faith determination by the Board or
         Committee or by the board of directors or a committee of the
         successor entity of the Corporation, as the case may be.

6        Termination of Employment

6.1      Subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof and to any express resolution
         passed by the Committee or the Board with respect to an Option, an
         Option and all rights to purchase Shares pursuant thereto shall
         expire and terminate immediately upon the Optionee who holds such
         Option ceasing to be an Eligible Person.

6.2      Notwithstanding Sections 5.4 and 6.1 hereof and subject to any
         express resolution passed by the Committee or the Board or any
         specific rights granted to an Eligible Person as set out in the
         written option notification delivered by the Corporation to the
         Optionee as referred to in Section 5.8 hereof, if an Eligible Person:

         (a)   ceases to be a director of the Corporation or any Affiliate
               (and is not or does not continue to be a Service Provider
               thereto or an employee or officer thereof);

         (b)   ceases to be an officer of the Corporation or any Affiliate (
               and is not or does not continue to be a Service Provider
               thereto or a director or employee thereof);

         (c)   ceases to be employed by the Corporation or any Affiliate (and
               is not or does not continue to be a Service Provider thereto
               or a director or officer thereof); or

         (d)   ceases to be a Service Provider to the Corporation or any
               Affiliate (and is not or does not continue to be an employee,
               director or officer thereof);

(a "Termination") because of the death, permanent disability or retirement
(with the Corporation's consent) of the Eligible Person (collectively the
"Events" and individually, an "Event"), then each Option theretofore granted
to such Optionee which has vested shall be exercisable until the earlier of:
(A) the date which is six months following the date of the Event; and (B) the
expiry date of such Option. Any Option theretofore granted to such Eligible
Person which has not vested at the date of such Event shall immediately
terminate and shall not be exercisable by such Eligible Person.

6.3      Subject to any express resolution posed by the Committee or the Board
         or any specific rights granted to an Eligible Person as set out in
         the written option notification provided by the Corporation to the
         Optionee, in the event of an Eligible Person's Termination for any
         reason other than as provided for in Section 6.2, each Option
         theretofore granted to such Eligible Person which has vested shall
         be exercisable until the earlier of: (A) the date which is 30 days
         following the date of such Eligible Person's Termination; and
         (B) the expiry date of such Option. Any Option theretofore granted
         to such Eligible Person which has not vested at the date of such
         Eligible Person's Termination shall immediately terminate and shall
         not be exercisable by such Eligible Person.

6.4      For greater certainty, Options shall not be affected by any change of
         employment of the Optionee or by the Optionee ceasing to be a
         director or officer of the Corporation or any Affiliate provided
         that the Optionee continues to be an Eligible Person.

7        Exercise of Options

7.1      Subject to the provisions of the Plan, an Option may be exercised
         from time to time by delivery to the Corporation at its registered
         office of a written notice of election to exercise substantially in
         the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 addressed to the Secretary of
         the Corporation specifying the number of Shares with respect to
         which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in
         full, by cash or cheque, of the Option Price of the Shares then
         being purchased. Subject to any provisions of the Plan to the
         contrary, certificates for such Shares shall be issued and delivered
         to the Optionee within a reasonable time following the receipt of
         such notice and payment.

7.2      Notwithstanding any of the provisions contained in the Plan or in any
         Option, the Corporation's obligation to issue Shares to an Optionee
         pursuant to the exercise of any Option shall be subject to:

         (a)   completion of such registration or other qualification of such
               Shares or obtaining approval of such governmental or regulatory
               authority as the Corporation shall determine to be necessary or
               advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or
               sale thereof;

         (b)   the receipt from the Optionee of such representations,
               warranties, agreements and undertakings as the Corporation
               determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard
               against the violation of the securities laws of any
               jurisdiction; and

         (c)   the satisfaction of any conditions on exercise prescribed
               pursuit to Article 3 hereof.

8        Certain Adjustments

8.1      In the event that the Shares are at any time changed or affected as
         a result of the declaration of a stock dividend thereon or their
         sub-division or consolidation, the number of Shares reserved for
         Option shall be adjusted accordingly by the Board or the Committee
         to such extent as they deem proper in their discretion. In such
         event, the number of, and the price payable for, any Shares that are
         then subject to Option may also be adjusted by the Board or the
         Committee to such extent, if any, as they deem proper in their
         discretion.

8.2      If at any time after the grant of an Option to any Optionee and prior
         to the expiration of the term of such Option, the Shares shall be
         reclassified, reorganized or otherwise changed, otherwise than as
         specified in Section 8.1 or the Corporation shall consolidate, merge
         or amalgamate with or into another corporation (the corporation
         resulting or continuing from such consolidation, merger or
         amalgamation being herein called the "Successor Corporation") or
         shall reorganize in any other manner having the effect of
         distributing the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders,
         the Optionee shall be entitled to receive upon the subsequent
         exercise of his or her Option in accordance with the terms hereof
         and shall accept in lieu of the number of Shares to which he or she
         was theretofore entitled upon such exercise but for the same
         aggregate consideration payable therefor, the aggregate number of
         shares of the appropriate class and/or other securities of the
         Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) and/or
         other consideration from the Corporation or the Successor Corporation
         (as the case may be) that the Optionee would have been entitled to
         receive as a result of such reclassification, reorganization or other
         change or as a result of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or
         reorganization if on the record date of such reclassification,
         reorganization or other change or the effective date of such
         consolidation, merger, amalgamation or reorganization, as the case
         may be, he or she had been the registered holder of the number of
         Shares to which he or she was theretofore entitled upon such
         exercise, or in the event that holders of Shares do not become
         entitled to any securities resulting therefrom, then to make such
         payments or to pay such other consideration as may be appropriate in
         the circumstances in accordance with a good faith determination by
         the Board or Committee or by a board of directors or a committee of
         the successor entity of the Corporation, as the case may be.

9        Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan and Options

9.1      Subject in all cases to the approval of any stock exchange and/or
         over-the-counter market on which the Shares may be listed or
         admitted for trading, if required, the Board may amend the Plan (or
         any Option granted hereunder) at any time, provided, however, that
         no such amendment may materially and adversely affect any Option
         previously granted to an Optionee without the consent of the
         Optionee, except to the extent required by law.

9.2      Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Plan or
         in any resolution of the Board or the Committee in implementation
         thereof, but subject in all cases to the approval of any stock
         exchange and/or over-the-counter market on which the Shares may be
         listed or admitted for trading, if required:

         (a)   the Board or the Committee may, by resolution, advance the
               date on which any Option may be exercised or extend the
               expiration date of any Option. The Board or the Committee
               shall not, in the event of any such advancement or extension,
               be under any obligation to advance or extend the date on or by
               which Options may be exercised by any other Optionee; and

         (b)   the Board or the Committee may, by resolution, decide that any
               of the provisions set out in Article 6 hereof concerning the
               effect of termination of the Optionee's employment shall not
               apply to any Optionee for any reason acceptable to the Board
               or the Committee, as the case may be.

9.3      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, but subject in all
         cases to the approval of any stock exchange and/or over-the-counter
         market on which the Shares may be listed or admitted for trading, if
         required, the Board may at any time by resolution terminate this
         Plan. In such event, all Options then outstanding and granted to an
         Optionee may be exercised by the Optionee for a period of thirty
         (30) days after the date on which the Corporation shall have
         notified all Optionees of the termination of this Plan, but only to
         the same extent as the Optionee could have exercised such Options
         immediately prior to the date of such notification.

10       Purchase for Cancellation

10.1     Subject to applicable law and the rules of any stock exchange and/or
         over-the-counter market on which the Shares may be listed or
         admitted for trading, the Corporation may, at any time and from time
         to time, purchase for cancellation the whole or any part of the
         Shares at the lowest price at which, in the opinion of the directors
         of the Corporation, such Shares are obtainable. Except where the
         Corporation is purchasing or otherwise acquiring Shares issued by it
         to settle or compromise a debt or claim asserted by or against the
         Corporation, to eliminate fractional Shares, to fulfil the terms of
         an agreement under which the Corporation has an option or is obliged
         to purchase Shares owned by a current or former director, officer or
         employee of the Corporation, to satisfy the claim of a shareholder
         who dissents under Section 185 of the Business Corporations Act
         (Ontario) or to comply with an order under Section 248 of the
         Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Shares shall be purchased
         either:

         (a)   with the consent of all the outstanding holders of Shares; or

         (b)   pursuant to tenders received by the Corporation upon request
               for tenders addressed to all the holders of the Shares at the
               time outstanding and the Corporation shall accept only the
               lowest tenders.

Where, in response to the invitation for tenders, two or more shareholders
submit tenders at the same price and the tenders are accepted by the
Corporation as to part only of the Shares offered, the Corporation shall
accept part of the Shares offered in each tender in proportion as nearly as
may be to the total number of Shares offered in each tender.

10.2     The Corporation has the right, prior to an Initial Public Offering,
         without having to obtain the consent of any Optionee or any holder
         of Shares, to purchase at any time and from time to time from any or
         all Optionees as determined by the Corporation, in its sole
         discretion, any or all of the Optioned Shares issued pursuant to the
         Option at a price equal to the aggregate of:

         (a)   the exercise price per Optioned Share as provided for in
               Section 5.3; and

         (b)   the Book Value Per Equity Share (as herein defined) as at the
               date of the most recently completed fiscal year of the
               Corporation immediately preceding the date of such purchase,
               minus the Book Value Per Equity Share as at the date of the
               most recently completed fiscal year of the Corporation
               immediately preceding the date of the grant of the option to
               purchase such Share. The "Book Value Per Equity Share" at any
               time shall mean the amount (expressed in Canadian funds and to
               be not less than zero) determined by dividing the book value
               of the Corporation on a consolidated basis as set out in its
               audited financial statements as at such time by the aggregate
               of (i) the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Class B
               common shares Class C common shares, Class D common shares and
               all other fully participating equity shares of the Corporation
               as at such time and (ii) the aggregate number of Class C
               common shares, Class D common shares and all other fully
               participating equity shares of the Corporation that would be
               issuable by the Corporation on the exercise of all fully
               vested and unexercised options that are outstanding at such
               time, and shall, for greater certainty, deduct the redemption
               amount of any special shares (including, for greater
               certainty, all redeemable shares which are not fully
               participating equity shares) of the Corporation as at any such
               time. The determination of such amount by the board of
               directors shall be final and binding.

11       Miscellaneous Provisions

11.1     An Optionee shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the
         Corporation with respect to any of the Shares covered by such Option
         until the date of issuance of a certificate for Shares upon the
         exercise of such Option, in full or in part, and then only with
         respect to the Shares represented by such certificate or
         certificates. Without in any way limiting the generality of the
         foregoing, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights
         for which the record date is prior to the date such share
         certificate is issued.

11.2     Nothing in the Plans or any Option shall confer upon an Optionee any
         right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any Affiliate,
         or affect in any way the right of the Corporation or any Affiliate
         to terminate his or her employment at any time; nor shall anything
         in the Plan or any Option be deemed or construed to constitute an
         agreement, or an expression of intent, on the part of the
         Corporation or any Affiliate, to extend the employment of any
         Optionee beyond the time which he or she would normally be retired
         pursuant to the provisions of any present or future retirement plan
         of the Corporation or any Affiliate or any present or future
         retirement policy of the Corporation or any Affiliate, or beyond the
         time at which he or she would otherwise be retired pursuant to the
         provisions of any contract of employment with the Corporation or any
         Affiliate.

11.3     The Plan and all matters to which reference is made herein shall be
         governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
         Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

11.4     The establishment of the Plan shall be subject to: (i) ratification
         by the board of directors of the Corporation to be effected by a
         resolution passed by the directors of the Corporation;
         (ii) acceptance by any relevant regulatory authority, including any
         stock exchange and/or over-the-counter market on which the Common
         Shares may be listed or admitted for trading; and (iii) completion
         of the Corporation's initial public offering of Shares pursuant to
         an amended preliminary prospectus of the Corporation dated October
         11, 2000. Any Options granted prior to such ratification and
         acceptance shall be conditional upon such ratification and
         acceptance being given and no such Options may be exercised unless
         and until such ratification and acceptance are given.

                                    SCHEDULE 1
                           NOTIFICATION OF GRANT OF OPTION

         Dynacare Inc. (the "Corporation") hereby provides this notice to
________________________ (the "Optionee") pursuant to the terms of the stock
option plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Corporation on August 14, 1998, and
amended and restated on November 17, 2000.

         Pursuant to the Plan and in consideration of $1.00 paid and services
provided to the Corporation or any Affiliate by the Optionee the Corporation
hereby grants an option (the "Option") to acquire up to __________________
common shares (the "Shares") of the Corporation at an exercise price of
$___________ per Share to the Optionee and as may be described below in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Options granted hereunder
shall terminate immediately upon the Optionee ceasing to be an Eligible Person.

         The granting and exercise of the Option and the issue of Shares are
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, all of which are incorporated
into and form an integral part of this agreement.

         Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Option shall be exercisable
for seven years from the date of the grant, being ________________ (the
"Expiry Date"), subject to the terms of the Plan, unless otherwise determined
by the Board or the Committee and specifically set out in the Option
notification referred to in Section 5.7 hereof, and the Option shall vest as
to 20% on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary of
the date of the grant; provided that if the Optionee shall, during any Option
Period, not exercise his or her right to purchase all of the Shares
purchasable by him or her during such Option Period (including any Optioned
Shares purchasable by him or her as a result of the operation of this
proviso), then, subject to the terms of the Plan, the Optionee shall have the
right, at any time or from time to time thereafter but prior to the Expiry
Date, to purchase such number of Shares which were purchasable but not
purchased by him or her.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Corporation may, in its sole
discretion, require the Optionee to reimburse the Corporation for any amounts
required to be paid by the Corporation to any taxing or other governmental
authority on behalf of the Optionee or on its own behalf in respect of the
grant of the Options hereunder or the issuance or disposition of the Shares
including, without limitation, excise, employment or income withholding
taxes. In lieu thereof, the grant of the Options and the issuance of the
Shares upon the exercise thereof by the Optionee is conditional upon the
Corporation's reservation, in its discretion, of the right to withhold,
consistent with any applicable law, from any compensation or other amounts
payable to the Optionee, any amounts required to be paid by the Corporation
to any taxing or other governmental authority on behalf of the Optionee or
its own behalf under any federal, state, provincial or local law as a result
of the grant or exercise of the Option or the issuance or disposition of the
Shares. To the extent that compensation or other amounts, if any, payable to
the Optionee are insufficient to pay any amounts required to be so paid by
the Corporation, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, require the
Optionee, as a condition to the exercise of the Option to pay in cash or by
certified cheque to the Corporation an amount sufficient to cover such
liability or otherwise make adequate provision for the Corporation's
satisfaction of its obligations under federal, state, provincial and/or local
law, including, without limitation, (i) the holding by the Corporation of the
share certificate to which the Optionee is entitled upon the exercise of the
Option as security for the payment of such obligation, until cash sufficient
to pay that liability has accumulated; (ii) to retain some or all of the
Shares, having a fair market value at the date of the exercise of the Option
which is equal to the amount of the Corporation's obligations set forth
above; or (iii) to direct the Optionee's selling broker to withhold from the
proceeds realized from the sale of the Shares an amount which is equal
to the Corporation's obligations set forth above and to pay such amount
directly to the Corporation.

         This agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the
Corporation, its successors and assigns and the Optionee and the legal
representatives of his or her estate and any other person who acquires the
Optionee's rights in respect of the Options by bequest or inheritance.

         Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Plan.
