PROFCO RESOURCES LTD.
STOCK OPTION PLAN (1995)

         PROFCO RESOURCES LTD. (the "Corporation") stock option plan known as
the "Stock Option Plan (1995)" in effect as of April 7, 1995. This Plan governs
the issuance of stock options (the "Stock Options") to employees, directors
and officers of, and persons and companies who provide services to, the
Corporation and subsidiaries of the Corporation. The terms and conditions of
the Plan are as follows:
1.       PURPOSES - The principal purposes of the Plan are:

         (a) to promote a proprietary interest in the Corporation among its
         employees, officers and directors and persons and companies providing
         services to the Corporation;
         (b) to retain and attract the qualified personnel and service support
         the Corporation requires;
         (c) to provide an incentive element in compensation; and
         (d) to promote the profitability of the Corporation.

2. RESERVATION OF SHARES - Subject to Section 11 of this Plan, the aggregate
maximum number of common shares of the Corporation reserved for issuance
pursuant to Stock Options shall be 1,745,000 common shares of the Corporation.

3. ELIGIBILITY - Stock Options shall be granted only to persons, firms or
companies ("Eligible Optionees"):
         (a) who are employees (full-time or part-time), officers or directors
         of the Corporation, or who are providing services to the Corporation on
         an on-going basis, or have provided or are expected to provide a
         service or services of considerable value to the Corporation, and
         (b) who the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines should
         receive Stock Options.

4. GRANTING OF STOCK OPTIONS - The Board of Directors of the Corporation may
from time to time grant Stock Options to Eligible Optionees. At the time a
Stock Option is granted, the Board of Directors shall determine the number of
common shares of the Corporation purchasable under the Stock Option, the date
when the Stock Option is to become effective and, subject to the other
provisions of this Plan, all other terms and conditions of the Stock Option.
An Eligible Optionee may hold more than one Stock Option at any time, provided
however that no one Eligible Optionee can receive Stock Options entitling the
Eligible Optionee to purchase more than 5% of the outstanding common shares
in the capital of the Corporation, calculated on a non-diluted basis.

5. EXERCISE PRICE - The exercise price of each Stock Option shall be
determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at
the time of the granting of the Stock Option, provided that the exercise price
shall not be lower than the "Market Price". "Market Price" shall mean the
closing price of the common shares on The Toronto Stock Exchange on the
trading day immediately prior to the date the Stock Option is granted, or, if
there is no reported trade of the common shares on The Toronto Stock Exchange
on such date, the arithmetic average of the closing bid and the closing ask
for the common shares on The Toronto Stock Exchange on such date; provided
that in the event the common shares are not listed on The Toronto Stock
Exchange but are listed on another stock exchange or stock exchanges, the
foregoing references to The Toronto Stock Exchange shall be

deemed to be references to such other stock exchange, or if more than one, to
such one as shall be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

6. TERM AND EXERCISE PERIODS - Subject to Section 7 hereof, all Stock Options
shall be for a term and exercisable from time to time as determined in the
discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time of the
granting of the Stock Options, provided that, (i) no Stock Option shall have a
term exceeding ten (10) years, and (ii) where a Stock Option has been granted
for a specific service, such Stock Option may be exercisable only after the
completion of that service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
or the discretion of the Board and subject to Section 7 hereof, the Board of
Directors may, by way of example, determine that a Stock Option is exercisable
only during the term of employment of the Eligible Optionee receiving it or
during such term and for a limited period of time after termination of
employment, that a Stock Option can be exercisable for a period of time or for
its remaining term after the death or incapacity of an Eligible Optionee, that
only a portion of a Stock Option is exercisable in a specified period, that
the unexercised portion of a Stock Option is "cumulative" so that any portion
of a Stock Option exercisable (but not exercised) in a specified period may be
exercised in subsequent periods until the Stock Option terminates, or that a
Stock Option may provide for early exercise and/or termination or other
adjustment in the event of a death of a person and in other circumstances,
such as if the Corporation shall resolve to sell all or substantially all of
its assets, to liquidate or dissolve, or to merge, amalgamate, consolidate or
be absorbed with or into any other corporation, or if any change of control of
the Corporation occurs.

7. EXPIRY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES - In the case of a Stock Option granted to
an officer or director of the Corporation in their capacity as such, if such
Eligible Optionee ceases to be an officer or director of the Corporation prior
to the expiry of the term of the Stock Option, such Stock Option may only be
exercised, as to those shares in respect of which the Stock Option has not
been exercised, at any time up to and including the earlier of (i) a date
three (3) months after the date the Eligible Optionee ceases to be an officer
or director of the Corporation; or (ii) the expiry of the term of the Stock
Option. Where a Stock Option has been granted to an Eligible Optionee, in the
event of the death of the Eligible Optionee On or prior to the expiry of the
term of the Stock Option, the Stock Option may only be exercised, as to those
shares in respect of which the Stock Option has not been exercised, by the
legal personal representatives of the Eligible Optionee at any time up to and
including the earlier of (i) a date twelve (12) months following the date of
death of the Eligible Optionee; or (ti) the expiry of the term of the Stock
Option.

8. NON-ASSIGNABILITY - Stock Options shall not be assignable by the Eligible
Optionees except for a limited right of assignment to allow the exercise of
Stock Options by an Eligible Optionee's legal representative in the event of
death or incapacity. Stock Options shall not be transferable by the Eligible
Optionees.

9. PAYMENT ON EXERCISE - All shares issued pursuant to the exercise of a Stock
Option shall be paid for in full in Canadian funds at the time of exercise of
the Stock Option and prior to the issue of the shares.

10. NON-EXERCISE - If any Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan is not
exercised for any reason whatsoever, the shares reserved for issuance pursuant
to such Stock Option shall revert to the Plan and shall be available for other
Stock Options, however, at no time shall there be outstanding Stock Options
exceeding in the aggregate the number of common shares of the capital stock of
the Corporation reserved for issuance pursuant to Stock Options under this
Plan.

11. ADJUSTMENT IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES - In the event:
         (a) of any change in the common shares through subdivision,
         consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; or
         (b) of any stock divided to holders of common shares (other than such
         stock dividends issued at the Option of shareholders of the Corporation
         in lieu of substantially equivalent cash dividends); or

- -3-
         (c) that any rights are granted to holders of common shares to purchase
         common shares at prices substantially below fair market value; or
         (d) that as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or
         otherwise the common shares are converted into or exchangeable for any
         other shares;

then in any such case the Board of Directors of the Corporation may make such
adjustment in the Plan and in the Stock Options granted under the Plan as the
Board of Directors of the Corporation may in its sole discretion deem
appropriate to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights
granted to, or available for, holders of Stock Options, and such adjustments
may be included in the Stock Options.

12. EXPENSES - All expenses in connection with the Plan shall be borne by the
Corporation.

13. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS - The Corporation shall not be obliged to issue any
shares upon exercise of Stock Options if the issue would violate any law or
regulation or any rule of any governmental authority or stock exchange. The
Corporation shall not be required to issue, register or qualify for resale any
shares issuable upon exercise of Stock Options pursuant to the provisions of a
prospectus or similar document, provided that the Corporation shall notify The
Toronto Stock Exchange and other appropriate regulatory bodies in Canada of
the existence of the Plan and the issuance and exercise of Stock Options.

14. FORM OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT - All Stock Options shall be issued by the
Corporation in a form which meets the general requirements and conditions set
forth in this Plan.

15. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION OF PLAN - The Corporation shall retain the
right to amend from time to time or to terminate the terms and conditions of
the Plan by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Any
amendments shall be subject to the prior consent of any applicable regulatory
bodies, including any stock exchange on which the Corporation's shares are
listed. Amendments and termination shall take effect only with respect to
Stock Options issued thereafter, provided that they may apply to any Stock
Options previously issued with the mutual consent of the Corporation and the
Eligible Optionees holding such Stock Options.

16. APPLICABLE LAW - This Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws in force in the Province of Alberta.

17. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL - No shares of the Corporation may be issued pursuant
to Stock Options granted under this Plan after April 7, 1995 until the Plan is
approved by the shareholders of the Corporation, given by way of confirmation
at the next meeting of shareholders of the Corporation.
