               L.   PLAN means the 1992 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan of
                    the Company, which is intended to qualify under Section 422
                    of the IRC.

               M.   PLAN SHARES means the aggregate amount of Common Stock which
                    may be purchased pursuant to Options under the Plan.

         III. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

         Any one or more of the Company's Officers, and full-time employees,

Director, as such, of the Company or member of the Committee.

         IV. THE COMMITTEE

two or more Directors designated by the Board of Directors of the Company. The

for each Option.

         The aggregate number of Plan Shares is 200,000. The Company will at all
times during the term of the Plan reserve and keep available a number of shares
of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan and will pay
all fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection with the
exercise of Options. The number of Plan Shares will be adjusted if a
reclassification, consolidation or merger should occur, as provided elsewhere in
the Plan.

         VI. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

                  A. TERMS, CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN ALL OPTIONS.

                  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, one or more Options
may be granted to any Eligible Employee. Each Option must be evidenced by a
written stock option agreement between the Company and the Optionee in such form
or forms as the Committee from time to time may prescribe and no Option will be
deemed granted until the execution of that agreement. Option agreements need not
be identical to each other but must comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

                  1.  PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for an Option Share
                      will not be less than the fair market value per share of
                      the Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option. If an
                      Optionee owns more than 10% of the voting power of all
                      classes of the Company's stock, the purchase price per
                      Option Share will be not less than 110% of the fair market
                      value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the
                      Option. In each case, the fair market value used in
                      determining the purchase price of an Option Share will be
                      determined in good faith at the time of grant of the
                      Option by decision of the Committee.


<PAGE>


                  2.  EXERCISE. Any option granted will contain provisions
                      established by the Committee setting forth the manner of
                      exercise of the Option. However, no Option may be
                      exercisable by its terms after the earlier of:

                          a.  ten years from the date of the grant of the Option
                              or, in the case of a person then owning more than
                              10% of the voting power of all classes for the
                              Company's stock, five years from the date of the
                              grant; or

                          b.  the expiration of three months after the date on
                              which Optionee's employment by the Company is
                              terminated other than by Disability; or

                          c.  the expiration of one year from the date on which
                              Optionee's termination of employment occurs as a
                              result of Disability.

                  3.  PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES. Payment may be made, in the
                      discretion of the Committee, in cash or in stock of the
                      Company having a fair market value, as determined in good
                      faith by the Committee, on the date of exercise equal to
                      the price for which the Option Shares may be purchased.

                  4.  NONTRANSFERABILITY. The terms of any Option granted must
                      include provisions making the Option nontransferable by
                      the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
                      and distribution and prohibiting exercise by anyone other
                      than the Optionee during the Optionee's lifetime. Option
                      Shares which are issued may be subject to restrictions on
                      transfer.

                  B. NON-ISOP ISSUANCES.

                  If for any reason an Option issued under this Plan fails to
qualify as an incentive stock option under the IRC, that Option will be deemed
to be issued under this Plan as a non-qualified Option to the extent it does not
so qualify.

                  C. OTHER TERMS.

                  Any Option granted under the Plan will contain such other and
additional terms, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, which are deemed
necessary or desirable by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Committee
or legal counsel to the Company, or which, together with the terms of the Plan,
are necessary to constitute the Option as an "incentive stock option" within the
meaning of Section 422 of the IRC.

                  D. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.

                  No Option or Option Shares will be issued to an Eligible
Employee or Optionee except in compliance with applicable state and federal
securities laws, and the Company will have no obligation to issue Option Shares
under an Option if compliance with those laws has not been achieved.

         VII. RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR EXCHANGE

         If and to the extent that the number of Issued shares of Common Stock
is increased or reduced by change in par value, split up, reclassification,
distribution of a dividend payable in Common Stock, or the like, the number of
Plan Shares, Option Shares, and the purchase price per Option Share will be
proportionately adjusted. If the Company is reorganized, consolidated, or
merged, or shares of Common Stock are exchanged, with another corporation (an
"Event"), the Optionee will be entitled to receive options covering shares of
the reorganized, consolidated, or merged company, or shares exchanged, in the
same proportion, at an equivalent price, and subject to the same conditions. The
excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to the option
immediately after the Event over the aggregate price of those shares will not be
more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value of all Option Shares
immediately before the Event over the aggregate option price of the Option
Shares, and the new option or assumption of the old Option will not give the
Optionee additional benefits the Optionee did not have under the old Option, or
deprive the Optionee of benefits which the Optionee had under the old Option.

         VIII. RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER AND EMPLOYEE

         No Optionee will have any rights as a Shareholder of the Company with
respect to any Option Shares before the date of issuance to the Optionee of the
certificates for the Option Shares. Neither the Plan nor any Option granted
under the Plan will confer upon an Optionee any right to continue in the
employment of the Company.

         IX. EFFECTIVE DATE

         The Effective Date of the Plan is the date of its adoption by
shareholders of the Company.

         X. TERM OF THE PLAN

         The Plan will terminate not later than, and no Options will be granted
after, the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. The provisions of the Plan
will, however, continue after termination of the Plan to govern all Options
granted under the Plan until the exercise or expiration of the Options. The Plan
may be terminated at any time by the Board.

         XI. CONSTRUCTION

         The Plan and Options granted under the Plan will be interpreted and
administered under the laws of the State of New Mexico.

         XII. INTERPRETATION

         All questions of interpretation and application of the Plan and any
Options will be determined solely by the Board of Directors and the
determination of the Board of Directors will be final and binding upon all
parties.

         XIII. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL

         This Plan will be presented for consideration and approval of the
shareholders of the Company at a meeting, special or regular, of the
shareholders of the Company held within twelve months of the Plan's Effective
Date. If the Plan is not approved by the shareholders, the Plan shall terminate
and all options granted under it shall be immediately forfeited.
