number of Shares needed to restore the maximum aggregate number of Shares which

Stock exceed that number equal to one-third of the Company's voting stock. The
Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. If any
Optioned Stock is to consist of reacquired Shares, such Optioned Stock must be
purchased by the Company prior to the date of grant of the corresponding Option
and must be reserved and set aside for such purpose.

               If an Option expires or becomes unexercisable without having been
exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall
become available for future grant under the Plan (unless the Plan has
terminated).

        4. Administration of the Plan.

               (a) Procedure. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
Committee.

               (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated
by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in
its discretion:

                      (i)  to determine Fair Market Value;

                      (ii) to select the persons to whom Options may be granted
hereunder;

                      (iii) to determine whether and to what extent Options are
granted hereunder;

                      (iv) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by
each Option granted hereunder;

                      (v)  to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

                      (vi) to determine the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder. Such
terms and conditions may include, but are not limited to, the exercise price,
the time or times when Options may be exercised (which may be based on
performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture
restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or the
Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;


                                       -3-

<PAGE>   4

                      (vii)  to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan;

                      (viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and 
regulations relating to the Plan;

                      (ix) to modify or amend each Option (subject to Section
14(c) of the Plan);

                      (x)  to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the 
Company or a Subsidiary any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option
previously granted by the Administrator;

                      (xi) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to
Options; and

                      (xii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for administering the Plan.

               (c) Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's
decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of Options.

               (d) Reporting to the Shareholders' Meeting. The Company's annual
proxy statement shall state the number of shares subject to, the exercise price
of and number of Shares acquired upon exercise of Options granted hereunder.

        5. Eligibility. Options may be granted only to Employees; provided,
however, that the President Directeur General, the Directeur General and other
directors who are also Employees of a participating Subsidiary may be granted
Options. An individual who has been granted an Option may, if otherwise
eligible, be granted additional Options.

        6. Limitations. Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon any
Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's employment
relationship with the Company.

        7. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of the date of its
adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect until five years from the
date of its adoption, unless terminated earlier under Section 14 of the Plan.

        8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be as stated in the
Option Agreement; provided, however, that the maximum term of an Option shall
not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant of the Option.

        9.     Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

               (a) Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Shares to be
issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be one hundred percent (100%) of
the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price
shall not be modified while the Option is outstanding.

               (b) Exercise and Vesting Dates. Options granted hereunder may be
exercised to the extent they have vested. Options granted hereunder shall vest
in accordance with the following vesting schedule: Fifty percent (50%) of the
Shares subject to this Option shall vest twenty-four months after the Vesting
Commencement Date (the "Initial Exercise Date"), and 1/24 of the remaining
Shares subject to the Option shall vest each month thereafter, subject to
Optionee=s Continuing Status as an Employee on such dates.

               (c) Restriction on Sale. The Shares subject to this Option may
not be transferred, assigned or hypothecated in any manner otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution before the date three years after
the Initial Exercise Date.

               (d) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the
acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. Such consideration may consist of:

                      (i)   cash or check (denominated in U.S. Dollars);

                      (ii)  wire transfer (denominated in U.S. Dollars);

                      (iii) consideration received by the Company under a 
cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the
Plan;

                      (iv) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

        10. Exercise of Option.

               (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan, but
may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option shall be deemed
exercised when:

                      (i) the Subsidiary or the Company receives written notice 
of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement and in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A) from the person entitled to exercise the Option,
accompanied by full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised;


                                       -5-

<PAGE>   6

                      (ii) the Subsidiary or the Company receives a written
subscription agreement to the Shares (in accordance with the Option Agreement
and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) from the person entitled to
exercise the Option.

                      Full payment may consist of any consideration and method 
of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement
and the Plan, and shall be deemed to be definitively made upon receipt of the
payment by the Subsidiary. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be
issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name
of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced
by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue to the
Optionee (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is
exercised and after full payment, as indicated above, is received by the
Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the
record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in
Section 12 of the Plan.

                      Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the 
number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for
sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised.

               (b) Termination of Employment Relationship. In the event that an
Optionee's status as an Employee terminates (other than upon the Optionee's
death or Disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but only
within thirty (30) days, and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled
to exercise it at the date of termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If,
at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her
entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option
shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise
his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option
shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

               (c) Disability of Optionee. In the event that an Optionee's
status as an Employee terminates as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the
Optionee may exercise his or her Option at any time within six (6) months from
the date of such termination, but only to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later
than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement). If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to
exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
to the Plan.


                                       -6-

<PAGE>   7

               (d) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee
while an Employee, the Option may be exercised at any time within six (6) months
following the date of death by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired
the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the
extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
death. If, at the time of death, the Optionee was not entitled to exercise his
or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the
Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after death, the Optionee's estate or a
person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance
does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall immediately revert to the
Plan.

        11. Non-Transferability of Options. An Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

        12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger,
Asset Sale or Change of Control.

               (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by
the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have
been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

               (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify the
Optionee at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the extent
it has not been previously exercised, the Option shall terminate immediately
prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

               (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent Option
shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of
the successor corporation, unless the successor corporation refuses to

                                       -7-

<PAGE>   8

assume the Option or to substitute an equivalent option, in which case the
Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned
Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable. If an
Option is exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee that the
Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date
of such notice, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such
period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered
assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the Option confers the right
to purchase, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option 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 Stock 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 Shares);
provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of
assets was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent,
the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the
participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of
the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, 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 Stock in the
merger or sale of assets.

        13. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be, for all
purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting
such Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.

        14. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

               (a) Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

               (b) Shareholder Approval. The Company shall obtain shareholder
approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Applicable Laws. Such shareholder approval, if required, shall be obtained
in such a manner and to such a degree as is required by the Applicable Laws.

               (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and a
representative of the Administrator.


                                       -8-

<PAGE>   9

        15. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

               (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws, including, without
limitation, the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon
which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to
the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

               (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of
an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required under Applicable Laws.

        16.    Liability of Company.

               (a) Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company
to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

               (b) Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares. If the Optioned Stock
covered by an Option exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares
which may be issued under the Plan without additional shareholder approval, such
Option shall be void with respect to such excess Optioned Stock, unless
shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of
Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained in accordance with Section 14(b)
of the Plan. In the event more than one Option is granted which exceeds, as of
the date of grant, the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan
without additional shareholder approval, such Options shall be void as set forth
in the preceding sentence on a pro rata basis.

        17. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

II.     AGREEMENT

        1. Grant of Option. The Board of the Company hereby grants to the
Optionee, an option (the "Option") to purchase a number of Shares, as set forth
in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice
of Grant (the "Exercise Price"), subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 14(c) of the
Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan
and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions
of the Plan shall prevail.

        2.     Exercise of Option.

               (a) Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term
in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and the
applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

               (b) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by: (i)
delivery of an exercise notice to the Subsidiary, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), which shall state the election to exercise
the Option and the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being
exercised (the "Exercised Shares"), (ii) delivery of a subscription agreement to
the Subsidiary, in the form attached as Exhibit B (the "Subscription
Agreement"), (iii) delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised
Shares to the Subsidiary and (iv) such other represen tations and agreements as
may be required by the Company or the Subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of
the Plan. Until issuance of such Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry
on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the
exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue to the Optionee (or cause to be
issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will
be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date issuance of such Shares, except

<PAGE>   12

as provided in Section 12 of the Plan. The Exercise Notice and Subscription
Agreement shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by
certified mail to the Secretary of the Subsidiary. This Option shall be deemed
to be exercised upon receipt by the Subsidiary of such fully executed Exercise
Notice and Subscription Agreement accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.

               No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option
unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law
and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then
listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares
shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is
exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

        3. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be
by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the
Optionee:

               (a)    cash or check (denominated in U.S. Dollars);

               (b)    wire transfer (denominated (in U.S. Dollars);

               (c) consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan.

        4. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in
any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms
of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

        5. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set
out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT, NOR IN THE
COMPANY'S STOCK OPTION PLAN, WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, SHALL
CONFER UPON OPTIONEE ANY RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT BY THE
COMPANY OR THE SUBSIDIARY.
