        1. Purpose.

                The purpose of this Plan is to encourage ownership of the common
stock of Humitech International Group, Inc. ("the Company") by all Partners of

of this Plan are not a substitute for compensation otherwise payable to Partners

consisting of not less than three members of the Board.

                3.2. Authority; Powers. Subject to the express terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Board (or the Committee, if so appointed) shall
have the power from time to time to:

                        (a) determine those Eligible Partners to whom Options

Option;

                        (b) construe and interpret the Plan and the Options
granted hereunder and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for
the administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, correcting any
defect or supplying any omission, or reconciling any inconsistency in the Plan
or in any Agreement, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or
advisable so that the Plan complies with applicable law, and otherwise to make
the Plan fully effective. All decisions and determinations by the Board or the
Committee in the exercise of this power shall be final, binding and conclusive
upon the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Optionees, and all other persons having

                        (c) exercise its discretion with respect to the powers

Company with respect to the Plan; and

                        (e) delegate to an administrator or administrators those
clerical and administrative functions which can be legally delegated to such
administrator or administrators.

        4. Stock Subject to the Plan and Maximum Grants.

                4.1. Number. The number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant
to the exercise of Options granted under the Plan is 1,000,000. The maximum
number of Options that an Eligible Partner may receive in any fiscal year may
not exceed Options to purchase the number of Shares having an aggregate Fair
Market Value on the date of grant equal to ten percent (10%) of such Eligible
Partner's Base Wages for the previous fiscal year of the Company. No Eligible
Partner shall be granted Options under this Plan that would result in such
Eligible Partner receiving more than five percent (5%) of the maximum number of
Shares available for issuance hereunder. Upon a Change in Capitalization, the
number of Shares referred to in the first sentence of this Section 4.1 shall be
adjusted pursuant to Section 7.

<PAGE>

                4.2. Reduction of Number. Upon the granting of Options, the
number of Shares available under Section 4.1 for the granting of further Options
shall be reduced by the number of Shares for which such Options may be
exercised.

                4.3. Expired Options. Whenever any outstanding Option is
canceled or is otherwise terminated for any reason without having been
exercised, the Share allocable to the expired, canceled or otherwise terminated
Option shall continue to be reserved for issuance under the Plan and may be the
subject of new Options granted hereunder.

        5. Terms and Conditions of Options.

                5.1. Agreement and Date of Grant. The terms and conditions of
the grant of Options to an Eligible Partner shall be set forth in an Agreement.
The Board or the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the date
during the quarter following the end of the Company's fiscal year upon which
Options are granted.

                5.2. Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be
100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted.

                5.3. Vesting. Subject to Section 5.9, and unless otherwise
approved by action of the Board or the Committee, each grant of Options shall
vest and become exercisable in annual twenty-five percent (25%) installments
commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. To the extent not
exercised, installments shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in
part, at any time after becoming exercisable, but not later than the date the
Options expire. Options shall cease vesting as of the date of the Optionee's
death, Disability, or other voluntary or involuntary termination of employment
with the Company or any Subsidiary.

                5.4. Term. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable
Agreement, each Option granted hereunder shall have a term of two (2) years, and
renewable for another two (2) years. The Committee may, subsequent to the
granting of any Option, extend the term thereof, but in no event shall the term
of any Option exceed two (2) years. The options are worthless if not exversied.

                5.5. Modification. No modification of an Option shall adversely
alter or impair any rights or obligations under the Option without the
Optionee's consent.

                5.6 Non-Transferability. An Option granted hereunder shall not
be transferable by the Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order (within the meaning of
Rule 16a-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act). An Option may be exercised
during the lifetime of such Optionee only by the Optionee or his or her guardian
or legal representative. The terms of such Option shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and
successors of the Optionee.

<PAGE>

                5.7 Method of Exercise. An Optionee desiring to exercise options
granted and exercisable hereunder shall notify the Company or, if required by
the Company, the brokerage firm designated by the Company to facilitate
exercises and sales under this Plan, specifying the number of Options to be
exercised. The notification to the brokerage firm shall be made in accordance
with procedures of such brokerage firm approved by the Company. The notification
to the Company or the designated brokerage firm shall be accompanied by (i)
payment of the aggregate exercise price of the Options in cash or by tender of
previously-owned Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value of at least the
aggregate exercise price, or (ii) a request that the Company or the designated
brokerage firm conduct a cashless exercise of the Options. Payment of the
aggregate exercise price by means of tendering previously-owned Shares of the
Company's common stock shall not be permitted when the same may, in the
reasonable opinion of the Company, cause the Company to record a loss or expense
as a result thereof.

                5.8 Rights of Optionees. No Optionee shall be deemed for any
purpose to be the owner of any Shares subject to any Options unless and until
(i) the Options shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms thereof, and
(ii) the Company shall have issued and delivered Shares to or for the account of
the Optionee. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other
ownership rights with respect to such Shares. Nothing in this Plan should be
construed to provide any Partner with any right to receive an Option under this
Plan, irrespective of whether the Partner may or may not be an Eligible Partner.

             5.9 Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in
Control, all Options outstanding on the date of such Change in Control shall
become immediately and fully exercisable and shall remain exercisable in
accordance with Section 6.2. A "Change in Control" means the occurrence during
the term of the Plan of:

                        (a) An acquisition (other than directly from the
Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the "Voting Securities") by
any Person (as the term Person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of
the Exchange Act), immediately after which such Person has "Beneficial
Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act)
of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the then outstanding Shares or the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding Voting Securities;
provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred,
Shares or Voting Securities which are acquired in a "Non-Control Acquisition"
(as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a
Change in Control.

                        A "Non-Control Acquisition" shall mean an acquisition by
(i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by
the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii)
any Person in connection with a "Non-Control Transaction" (as hereinafter
defined);

                        (b) Cessation for any reason of the individuals who are
members of the Board as of April 1, 2002 (the "Incumbent Board") to constitute
at least two-thirds of the members of the Board; provided, however, that if the
election, or nomination for election by the Company's common shareholders, of
any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent
Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a
member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual
shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially
assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest"
(as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual
or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person
other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest") including by reason of any agreement
intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or

<PAGE>

                        (c) The consummation of:

                              (i) A merger, consolidation or reorganization with
or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued, unless
such merger, consolidation or reorganization is a "Non-Control Transaction."A
"Non-Control Transaction" shall mean a merger, consolidation or reorganization
with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued where:

                                    (A) the shareholders of the Company, before
such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own directly or indirectly
immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least
fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of the corporation resulting fromsuch merger or consolidation or
reorganization (the "Surviving Corporation") in substantially thesame proportion
as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger,
consolidation or reorganization,

                                    (B) the individuals who were members of the
Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing
for such merger, or reorganization constitute at least two-thirds of the members
of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, or a corporation
directly or indirectly beneficially owning a majority of the Voting Securities
of the Surviving Corporation, and

                                    (C) no Person other than (i) the Company,
ii) any Subsidiary, (iii) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part
thereof) that, prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, was
maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any Person who, prior to
such merger, consolidation or reorganization had Beneficial Ownership of
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities or
Shares, has Beneficial Ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation's then outstanding voting
securities or its common stock.

                              (ii) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the
Company; or

                              (iii) The sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than a
transfer to a Subsidiary).

                Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be
deemed to occur solely because any Person (the "Subject Person") acquired
Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding
Shares or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting
Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting
Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons, provided that if a Change in Control
would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the
acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share
acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of
any additional Shares or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the
then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject
Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

<PAGE>

                Section 5.9 set forth above applies to any Option granted or
Change in Control occurring after April 1, 2002; provided, however, that in the
event that the adoption of Section 5.9 as set forth above is considered to be an
alteration of equity interests in contemplation of a pooling of interests
transaction, the adoption of Section 5.9 shall be automatically rescinded. Upon
the rescission of the adoption of Section 5.9 set forth above, the effect of a
merger, consolidation, tender offer or takeover bid shall be governed by the
terms of Section 2.6 of the Plan in effect prior to April 1, 2002.

        6. Effect of a Termination of Employment.

                6.1. Board or Committee Discretion. The Agreement evidencing the
grant of each Option may set forth the terms and conditions applicable to such
Option upon a termination or change in the status of the employment of the
Optionee by the Company, or a Subsidiary (including a termination or change by
reason of the sale of a Subsidiary), which shall be as the Board or Committee
may, in its discretion, determine at the time the Option is granted or
thereafter.

                6.2. Default Provisions. Unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Agreement pursuant to the Board or Committee's authority as set forth
in Section 6.1, any Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall expire at the
earliest of the following:

                (i) the date specified in the Option;

                (ii) ninety (90) days after the date of voluntary or involuntary
termination of Optionee's employment other than a termination as described in
(iii) or (iv) below;

                (iii) on the date of the discharge of the Optionee for
misconduct that is willfully or wantonly harmful to the Company; or

                (iv) twelve (12) months after the date of the Optionee's death
or termination due to Disability.

        7. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization.

                7.1. Adjustment. In the event of a Change in Capitalization, the
Board or the Committee, as appropriate, shall conclusively determine the
appropriate adjustments, if any, to (i) the number of Shares reserved for
issuance pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan, (ii) the maximum
number of Shares with respect to which Options may be granted to any Eligible
Partner during the term of the Plan, and (iii) the number of Shares which are
subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan and the exercise price
therefor (if applicable).

<PAGE>

               7.2. No Fractional Shares. If any adjustment under Section 7.1
hereof results in an obligation of the Company to issue a fractional Share, the
number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to issue and fractional
Shares pursuant to the exercise of Options under this Plan.

        8. Termination and Amendment of the Plan.

                The Plan shall terminate on April 1, 2004 and no Option may be
granted thereafter. Subject to Section 5.5, the Board or the Committee may
terminate the Plan prior to the day set forth above and the Board or the
Committee, may at any time and from time to time amend, modify or suspend the
Plan and all administrative rules, regulations and practices; 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 that he or she may have acquired through or as a result of the Plan; and

                        (b) to the extent necessary under applicable law, no
amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company
in accordance with applicable law.

        9. 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.

        10. 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:

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

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

                        (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.

determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without giving
effect to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

                11.2. Applicable Laws and Regulations. The obligation of the
Company to issue Shares upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan
shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all

approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by
the Board or the Committee.

                11.3. Compliance. The Board or the Committee may make such
changes to the Plan as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the rules
and regulations of any government authority.

        12. Foreign Eligible Partners.

                Without amending the Plan, the Board or the Committee may grant
Options to Eligible Partners who are foreign nationals on such terms and
conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may in the judgment of
the Committee be necessary or advisable to foster and promote achievement of the
purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Board or the
Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, subplans, and the
like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of the laws
in other countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate or have
employees.

        13. Miscellaneous.

                13.1. Multiple Option Grants. The terms of each Option grant may
differ from other Options granted under the Plan at another time. The Committee
may also make more than one grant of Options to a given Eligible Partner during
the term of the Plan.

                13.2. Withholding of Taxes. At such time as an Optionee
recognizes taxable income in connection with the receipt of Shares or receives
cash in connection with the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of
