F. Stock  Options:  Employee  shall be deemed  fully  vested in and  eligible to
exercise all presently  unvested stock options  previously  granted to employee.
The number and exercise price of all vested  options  currently held by employee
and all unvested options that vest pursuant to this Section 2.F are set forth on
Exhibit A hereto.  Employee  shall be eligible to  exercise  such  options for a
period of one hundred and eighty days  following the  termination  date, and any
options  not  exercised  within  such  period  shall  lapse and be of no further
effect.  In the event  employee  elects to  exercise  any  options as  permitted
hereunder,  employee  shall  provide  written  notice  of such  election  to the
Company,  which  notice  shall  identify  the stock  option  grant that is being
exercised, specify the number of shares sought to be acquired and the applicable
exercise  price,  and be accompanied by a cashier's check for the total exercise
price for the shares to be acquired.  If the options are being exercised to sell
the shares to a third party  pursuant to a bona fide written  offer,  verifiable
evidence of such offer shall also be provided  with the notice.  Upon receipt of
such notice the Company shall then have the right to either issue stock pursuant
to  employee's  notice of election,  or to cancel the option as to the number of
shares of stock  specified in  employee's  notice of  election.  The Company may
exercise  its  right  to  cancel  by  providing   employee   written  notice  of
cancellation  within two  business  days after  receiving  employee's  notice of
election,  in which  event the  Company  shall  return to  employee  the  amount
tendered to exercise  the  options and pay  employee an amount  equal to (1) the
difference  between (a) the greater of the closing price of the Company's  stock
on the date the notice of exercise  is  received or the price per share  offered
employee in a bona fide written offer from a third party,  and (b) the per share
exercise price of the option;  multiplied by (2) the number of shares  specified
in employee's  notice of election.  Payment to employee for  cancellation  of an
option(s) shall be made within two business days following the Company's  notice
of election to cancel.  Any  option(s)  cancelled  by the Company  shall have no
further force or effect.  Except to the extent expressly  provided  herein,  the
Company's  Stock Option Plan and any  agreements  by which  Employee was granted
stock  options  shall be  controlling  with  respect  to stock  options  and the
exercise  thereof.  In connection  with the exercise of any option,  the Company
will not require any investment letter or representation  from employee,  except
to the extent that, in the opinion of Company's  counsel,  the absence of such a
letter or  representation  would result in a violation of applicable  federal or
state securities laws or regulations.  The Company agrees that it will authorize
sale of stock obtained by employee  exercising  options within six months of the
grant date unless, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, sale within such six
month  period  would  violate  applicable  federal or state  securities  laws or
regulations.

3. Stock Purchase Rights. Employee presently holds shares of the common stock of
the  Company  and has the  option  to  purchase  additional  shares  of stock as
specified in Section 2. With respect to all such shares of stock  currently held
by  employee  and any shares of stock  acquired  through  the  exercise of stock
options  specified  on Exhibit A or  otherwise  acquired by  Employee,  employee
agrees that he shall not sell,  assign,  transfer or  otherwise  convey any such
shares  except  pursuant to this  Section 3.  Before  employee  sells,  assigns,

<PAGE>

Severance Agreement - 4

transfers or conveys  shares of stock  (jointly,  a "stock sale") he shall first
give  written  notice to the  Company of his  intent,  specifying  the number of
shares subject to the intended stock sale, and, if other than a sale on the open
market,  verifiable  evidence  of the bona fide offer to  purchase  from a third
party.  The Company  shall have the right to purchase such shares at the greater
of the closing price of the  Company's  stock on the date the notice of exercise
is received  or the price per share  offered  employee in the bona fide  written
offer.  The  Company  shall  provide  employee  written  notice of its intent to
exercise its purchase right within two business days after receiving  employee's
notice,  and closing of the  transaction  shall occur within three business days
thereafter.  If the Company  fails to provide  employee  notice of its intent to
purchase employee's shares within the time specified then employee may engage in
a stock  sale with  respect  to the  number of shares  specified  in  employee's
notice.  The Company's  right to purchase shares of stock hereunder shall expire
five years from the termination date.

4. Board Memberships. Employee hereby resigns from the board of directors of the
Bank effective March 22, 2000, and from the board of directors of Bancorporation

resignation are effective.

5.  Consulting  Relationship.  At employee's  election,  employee may serve as a
consultant to the Company for the period through which he receives severance pay
hereunder.  Employee's  election  to serve as a  consultant  shall not  obligate
employee to undertake any specific projects or tasks for the Company,  and shall
not  entitle  employee  to any  further  or  additional  consideration  from the
Company.  Employee  shall not  represent  himself as an agent of the Company and
shall not have the authority to bind or obligate the Company in any respect.

6. Release of Claims. Employee expressly waives and releases any and all claims,
causes of action, and damages employee has or may have against the Company,  its
officers, agents, employees, and directors,  unasserted or unasserted,  known or
unknown,  arising  from  or  in  any  way  relating  to  employee's  employment,
employment  agreement,  or the  termination  of such  employment  and agreement,
including  without  limitation  common law claims for breach of contract  and/or
torts, and claims under any law, statute,  ordinance or regulation of the United
States  and any  state,  county,  municipality  or  other  governmental  entity,
specifically including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, the
Fair Labor  Standards  Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act,
the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Washington Law Against  Discrimination,
any and all other laws regarding civil rights, and any other legal limitation on
the  employment  relationship.  Employee  agrees that employee is entitled to no
further  compensation  or  consideration  from the Company after the termination

                           3.3 MODIFICATIONS. DAS will inform SP in writing of
any modifications to the Specifications or Statement of Work as soon as
reasonably practicable. SP will inform DAS of the amount of reasonable
additional costs, if any, SP would incur due to the modification. If DAS elects
to adopt the modification, DAS will (i) at DAS' election either directly
purchase required additional equipment or materials which are approved by SP, or
reimburse SP for required direct capital expenditures, and (ii) pay SP for any
increased services or materials which are necessary to implement the
modification to the Specifications or Statement of Work at SP's then current
pricing rates for such services and materials. SP will provide DAS a detailed
and itemized written explanation of capital expenditures and additional charges
for services and materials incurred due to the modification. If the parties

<PAGE>

technically unable to comply with a proposed modification or if DAS is unwilling
to pay SP's costs for direct capital expenditures in advance, DAS shall have the
option to withdraw the proposed modification or negotiate a payment plan
acceptable to SP. When a cost-saving modification is recommended by DAS and
implemented by SP, SP will decrease its charges to DAS by an amount equal to the
reduction in price resulting from the decreased services or materials afforded
by the modification. SP and DAS will revise the Pricing Appendix, Statement of
Work, Specifications and related schedules to account for any modifications
agreed to and implemented by the parties pursuant to this paragraph. SP is not
required to accept any modification which in SP's reasonable belief would create
a compliance risk for any regulatory requirement.

                           3.4 ACCESS TO SP FACILITIES BY DAS. Upon reasonable
notice and at a time mutually agreeable to the parties, or immediately in the
event of a bona fide emergency, SP shall permit DAS representatives to enter
SP's plant during regular business hours for the purpose of making quality
control inspections of the facilities used in production of Product for DAS, for
taking inventories of Active Ingredient and Product, and for examining and
copying any relevant records (described in Section 2.04) during normal business
hours. DAS may observe and inspect all activities and records associated with

adopting and enforcing safety procedures for the handling and production of the
Product by SP and handling and disposal of waste relating thereto that comply in
all material respects with all federal, New Mexico state, regulatory and
Albuquerque local environmental and occupational safety and health requirements
based on material safety data sheets or other raw material, Active Ingredient,
or finished Product data. Such responsibilities shall include the proper
disposal of waste in an appropriate manner consistent with the nature of the
waste and at a permitted waste disposal facility. Such responsibilities shall
terminate as to Product upon delivery thereof to DAS. DAS shall, at SP's
reasonable request, advise and consult with SP concerning such safety
procedures. Subject to the foregoing, DAS acknowledges and agrees that it is
responsible for providing the material safety data sheets, toxicology, safe
handling and disposal requirements for Active Ingredient, [****], Product, and
other raw materials provided by DAS.

                  4. NON-CONFORMING PRODUCT. Upon receiving a written request
from DAS, SP will rework or, if necessary, remanufacture a new Product lot to
replace any Non-conforming Product lot. If SP agrees that the Product in
question is Non-conforming Product as a result of an error or omission by SP, it
shall promptly pay to DAS the Reimbursement Amount. At DAS' option, (i) SP shall
be relieved of any obligation to deliver any substitute Product with respect to
the Non-conforming Product lot, or (ii) SP shall use best efforts to replace the
Non-conforming Product with substitute Product that conforms with the
Specifications and any other requirements of this Agreement as soon as
reasonably possible, in which case DAS shall pay SP for the substitute Product
in accordance with the Pricing Appendix and this Agreement. SP shall dispose of
any Non-conforming Product which is the result of an error or omission of SP at
its own expense. DAS shall pay for disposal of all Non-conforming

the Product is surrendered by SP for shipping to DAS or its representatives.

                           4.1 If SP does not agree that the Product is
Non-conforming Product as a result of an error or omission by SP, the parties
shall timely consult with each other and attempt to resolve the discrepancies.
If the parties cannot resolve the discrepancies in a timely manner, they shall
promptly nominate an independent, reputable laboratory, which shall carry out
appropriate analyses with respect to such Product to determine if it conforms to
the Specifications. If the results conclude that the Product conformed to the
Specifications, DAS will be responsible for all amounts owed to the laboratory
and shall not be entitled to the Reimbursement Amount. If the results conclude
that the Product did not conform to the Specifications, as a result of an error
or omission by SP, SP shall be responsible for all amounts owed to Laboratory
and shall promptly pay DAS the Reimbursement Amount.

above, DAS will have no obligation to pay SP for items 4, 10 and 11 in the
Pricing Appendix. If DAS decides to have SP perform the Outsource Work
instead of a third party, DAS will pay SP for the Outsource Work in
accordance with the prices and terms set forth in the Pricing Appendix. SP
will not be responsible for any delays in testing or manufacturing the
clinical supplies which are due to delays of the third party performing the
Outsource Work.

                  6. PURCHASE ORDERS. Purchase Orders shall be written and shall

Representatives to handle all Confidential Information in a manner consistent
with the terms of this Agreement.

                           11.3     LIMITATION ON CONFIDENTIALITY.

                           A. The obligation of confidentiality imposed by this
Section 11 will not apply to the extent that (i) the Receiving Party is required
to disclose information by applicable law, regulation or order of a governmental
agency or a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to the conditions of

its breach of these Confidentiality provisions would cause irreparable injury to
the other party for which monetary damages are not an adequate remedy.
Accordingly, a party will be entitled to injunctive relief and other equitable
remedies in the event of such a breach by the other.

other material developed therefrom) and all copies thereof and retain none for
its files, except that SP may retain original documents generated by SP and

press release, public announcement or publication regarding this Agreement or
the relationship of the parties, (except to the extent that it may be legally
required), shall be made unless mutually agreed to prior to the release or
dissemination of any such press release, public announcement or publication.
