interim equity or debt financing in an amount not less than $4,000,000 which
financing must occur on or before March 31, 2003.

paid (the "Payment Date") by Tenant to the Landlords if during the ninety (90)
calendar day period after the Payment Date Tenant has not become the subject of
an Insolvency Proceeding ("Preference Expiration Date"). In the event that an
Insolvency Proceeding is commenced but thereafter dismissed, the Preference
Expiration Date shall occur if and when the dismissal order becomes final,
provided that nothing in the Insolvency Proceeding or the dismissal order has

day period after the Payment Date.

               (e) "Premises Existing Condition" shall mean the "as-is"

          2. Termination/Property Transfer. The term of each of the Leases is
hereby amended to terminate and expire on the earlier of (i) the Preference
Expiration Date or (ii) such earlier date as is elected by either AMB or Willow
Park, as applicable, for any or each of the Leases, provided that in the event
of a termination pursuant to subclause (ii), AMB or Willow Park, as applicable,
shall provide Tenant with written notice of the same. Except as modified in this
Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall fully comply with all obligations under
the Leases through the Effective Date, and if the Preference Expiration Date
does not occur, Tenant shall remain fully obligated under, and shall comply
with, the terms of each Lease that has not been terminated prior to the
Preference Expiration Date as set forth in subclause (ii) above. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Leases, it is understood and agreed that Tenant
shall vacate the Premises on or prior to the Effective Date, and that Tenant
shall leave the Premises in the Premises Existing Condition with all
improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment remaining (including, without
limitation, all lab benches, tables, generators, vacuum pumps, air filtering
systems, etc.). Subject to Section 2B below, Willow Park and Tenant agree that
all improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment in the 1003 Premises as of
the Effective Date shall become the property of Willow Park, free and clear of
claims by any third parties, and Tenant hereby transfers all right, title and
interest in such items to Willow Park, fully as though by bill of sale, on an
"as is" basis without representation, warranty or recourse as to the condition

                                       2

<PAGE>

of such property. Subject to Section 2B, Tenant does warrant title to such
property free and clear of claims by any third parties. Subject to Tenant's
decommissioning obligations as set forth below, Willow Park shall accept the
1003 Premises in the Premises Existing Condition upon Termination of such Lease.
AMB Acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has vacated the 1210 Premises and the
1255 Premises prior to the date of this Agreement and that AMB has accepted the
condition of the 1210 Premises and the 1255 Premises in the Premises Existing
Condition. AMB and Tenant agree that all improvements, furniture, fixtures, and
equipment in the 1255 Premises and the 1210 Premises as of March 19, 2003 shall
become the property of AMB, free and clear of claims by any third parties, and
Tenant hereby transfers all right, title and interest in such items to AMB,
fully as though by bill of sale, on an "as is" basis without representation,
warranty or recourse as to the condition of such property. Tenant does warrant
title to such property free and clear of claims by any third parties. Subject to
Section 2B, as soon as such information is available and in any event on or
prior to April 10, 2003, Tenant shall provide such information and documents as
Landlords may reasonably require to verify the status of the title to the
property, referenced above, that is being transferred to Landlord including,
without limitation, copies of all security agreements and financing statements
that Tenant has granted to third parties.

               A. Landlords' Access. Concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, Tenant shall deliver keys to the Premises to the Landlords so that
the Landlords may commence marketing the Premises. Tenant represents that as of
the execution of this Agreement it is no longer conducting business from the
Premises and the Premises are and shall be available to Landlord for showing to
prospective tenants at all times. Landlord shall have the right at any and all
times to enter the Premises for the purpose of preparing the Premises to
re-lease, for showing the Premises, and/or for any other purpose related to
Landlords efforts to re-let the Premises, and Tenant shall not take any action
that would interfere with Landlord's ability to release the Premises or with a
Replacement Tenant's use of the Premises.

               B. GE Capital Lien on Certain Personal Property at the 1003
Premises. Tenant and Landlords acknowledge and agree that certain of the
Tenant's personal property located at the 1003 Premises (the "1003 Personal
Property") is presently subject to a security interest in favor of GE Capital
(the "GE Capital Lien"). Tenant agrees that it shall cause the GE Capital Lien
to be released and terminated as to the 1003 Personal Property as soon as
possible after the Effective Date and in no event later than April 10, 2003. As
soon as such information is available and in any event on or prior to April 10,
2003, Tenant shall provide Willow Park with evidence reasonably acceptable to
Willow Park evidencing the termination and release of the GE Capital Lien. In
addition, if Landlord reasonably requests information regarding any other
possible lien on the 1003 Property, Tenant shall promptly provide assurance and
documents evidencing that no such liens exist.

          3. Payments. As consideration for this Agreement, and as consideration
for any and all outstanding or overdue rentals and any and all other outstanding
or overdue charges under the Leases, or otherwise, including, but not limited
to, operating expenses, taxes and assessments, extra services, utilities and
HVAC, and to cover Landlords' administrative, processing and legal fees, and to
reimburse Landlords for any loss of rentals or other charges under the Leases
that may hereafter be sustained after the Effective Date as a result of this
Agreement, (a) on and at any time after the Effective Date (i) Willow Park shall
be authorized

                                       3

<PAGE>

and entitled to draw the full amount of the $150,000.00 letter of credit
presently held by Willow Park under the 1003 Lease, (ii) AMB shall be authorized
and entitled to draw the full amount of the $133,422.00 letter of credit
presently held by AMB under the 1255 Lease, and (iii) AMB shall be authorized
and entitled to draw the full amount of the $147,816.00 letter of credit
presently held by AMB under the 1210 Lease, (b) on and at any time after the
Effective Date the Landlords shall be entitled to retain, apply and offset any
amounts which might otherwise be due Tenant under the Leases, (c) upon Tenant's
consummation of the Interim Financing, Tenant shall pay Landlords, in
immediately available funds by federal wire transfer, the Termination Payment
and (d) Tenant shall issue to Landlords the Warrant (as defined in Section 8,
below). AMB and Willow Park acknowledge and agree that they will allocate the
Termination Payment among themselves as they may agree in their sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlords and Tenant agree that Tenant's
obligation to pay the Termination Fee is expressly conditioned on Tenant's
consummation of the Interim Financing. In the event that the Termination Payment
is made and the Preference Expiration Date does not occur, Landlords shall apply
the $500,000.00 Termination Payment to the monetary obligations under the Leases
for the month in which such payment was made, then to the monetary obligations
under the Leases for each subsequent month following such payment, and the
balance, if any, shall be deemed additional security under the Leases allocated
among the Leases as the Landlords agree in their sole discretion.

          4. Mutual Releases. Effective on the Preference Expiration Date (if
such occurs), Landlords and Tenant hereby forever release and discharge each
other, and their respective partners, officers, directors, agents, trustees,
beneficiaries, and employees, of and from any and all claims, acts, damages,
demands, rights of action and causes of action which each party ever had, now
has, or in the future may have, against the other, arising from or in any way
connected with the Leases. This release is intended as a full settlement and
compromise of each, every and all claims of every kind and nature relating to
the Leases. Landlords and Tenant expressly waive any and all rights which they
may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California
pertaining to the Leases and the occupancy of the Premises (or such similar
statutes), which provides as follows:

          "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES
          NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
          RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS
          SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

          Landlords and Tenant understand and agree that by execution of this
Agreement, each party and its partners, officers, directors, agents, trustees,
beneficiaries, and employees do not admit any liability of any nature
whatsoever. This Agreement is made entirely as a compromise and for the purpose
of terminating the Leases and settling and extinguishing the respective claims,
acts, damages, demands, rights of action or causes of action of the parties
hereto.

          5. Pending Actions. Landlords and Tenant acknowledge that Willow Park
and AMB have each filed a separate legal action in the San Mateo County Superior
Court under Case Number CIV 429871 and CIV 429872, respectively, against Tenant
in respect of the Leases (the "Actions"). Landlords and Tenant agree that as of
the Effective Date Landlords shall

                                       4

<PAGE>

suspend further enforcement of the rights granted to them by the court under the
Actions and upon the Preference Expiration Date, Landlords shall promptly
dismiss the Actions and terminate any execution proceedings commenced It is
agreed that if the Interim Financing and Termination Payment do not timely
occur, as set forth above, Landlords may proceed with all rights under the
Actions.

          6.   Representations.

               (a) Each party represents to the others that it has full power
and authority to execute this Agreement.

               (b) Each party represents to the others that it has not made any
assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of the Lease or
any interest in the Lease or the Premises, and has no knowledge of any existing
or threatened claim, demand, obligation, liability, action or cause of action
arising from or in any manner connected with the Lease or the Premises by any
other party.

               (c) Subject to the second sentence of this Section 6(c), Tenant
represents that the Termination Fee hereunder, as a percentage of the total
lease payments (base rent and common area maintenance charges) for the remainder
of the initial term of the Leases, is equal to at least 95% of the highest
termination fee paid to any other landlord, as a percentage of the total lease
payments (base rent and common area maintenance charges) for the remainder of
the initial term of the respective leases, under the Other Settlement Agreements
covering any lease with a remaining term in excess of 12 months that Tenant has
entered into or that Tenant shall enter into with Tenant's other landlords
between the Effective Date and the first anniversary thereof. Landlords
acknowledge and agree that (a) the Other Settlement Agreement that Tenant
entered into in respect of its San Diego facility lease is not covered by the
foregoing representation since the consideration provided by Tenant under said
arrangement consisted of a barter of services (the value of which is very
difficult to determine), (b) for purposes of the forgoing representation, the
amount of the most recent monthly charges for the common area maintenance
charges under the applicable leases were utilized to calculate the common area
maintenance charges under the applicable leases for the remainder of their
respective terms and (c) attached hereto as Exhibit A is a spread sheet
reflecting the methodology employed by Tenant in its calculations to make the
foregoing representation.

          7. Decommissioning. Willow Park and Tenant acknowledge and agree that
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, approximately 1,800
square feet of space at the 1003 Premises is undergoing the decommissioning
process with the County of San Mateo and the State of California. Based on
Tenant's consultation with its consultant, $12,000 is an estimate (the
"Decommissioning Estimate") of the total cost required to cause the decommission
process to be completed. On or prior to the Effective Date Tenant shall deposit
with Willow Park an amount equal to the Decommissioning Estimate (the
"Decommissioning Estimate Deposit") to be applied by Willow Park to pay the
costs and expenses of such decommissioning. Tenant shall be responsible for all
costs and expenses for the decommissioning in excess of the Decommissioning
Estimate Deposit and shall pay the same within five (5) days of receiving an
invoice therefore. Tenant shall cause such decommissioning of said space to be
completed at the earliest possible date in compliance with all applicable laws.

                                       5

<PAGE>

Tenant shall fully cooperate with any environmental consultant retained by
Willow Park to monitor the status of Tenant's decommissioning and Willow Park's
consultant is authorized, but not obligated, to take any action it deems
appropriate to assist in or expedite the decommissioning.

          8. Warrants. As additional consideration for the termination of the
Leases, and subject to the accuracy of the representations by Landlords made in
any such warrant:

               (a) In the event there is a closing of an Equity Financing
(defined below) prior to August 31, 2003, (which shall require approval of a
majority of the total votes cast on the proposal in a meeting of Tenant's
stockholders) and so long as Landlords shall not have previously elected to
receive a Common Stock or other warrant pursuant to clause (b) or (c) below,
immediately prior to the closing of the Equity Financing, Tenant shall issue to
Willow Park (or any affiliate of Willow Park designated by Willow Park) a
warrant in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (with
appropriate changes in the event such warrant is to be issued as a Common Stock
warrant pursuant to the terms hereof) and to AMB a warrant in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (with appropriate changes in the event such
warrant is to be issued as a Common Stock warrant pursuant to the terms hereof)
(collectively, the "Warrants") to purchase the same class and series of shares
of Tenant's stock sold in Tenant's anticipated Equity Financing. The exercise
price per share of the Warrants shall be the per share purchase price to be paid
by the other purchasers in such financing, and the number of shares underlying
both Warrants in the aggregate shall be 250,000 (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reclassification and the like) (the number of shares subject to
each Warrant shall be designated by Landlords, subject to such aggregate total
for both Warrants). The term "Equity Financing" shall mean the sale by Tenant of
not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) of its equity securities,
which securities Tenant currently expects to be Series A Preferred Stock with a
purchase price per share equal to 75% of the 5-trading day trailing average
closing price of Tenant's Common Stock ending on the third day prior to the
closing date of the Equity Financing. In this case, Landlords shall be granted
the same registration rights as the purchasers of Tenant's stock in the Equity
Financing, as if Landlords were a purchaser in such Equity Financing (except for
any monetary penalties associated with any effectiveness deadline for the resale
registration statement to the extent the Warrants remain unexercised prior to
such deadline).

               (b) At any time after the date hereof and prior to August 31,
2003, either Landlord may elect to receive a Common Stock warrant at an exercise
price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the closing market price of the
Tenant's Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of this
Agreement (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and
the like) or (ii) the closing market price of the Tenant's Common Stock on the
trading day immediately prior to the date of issuance of the Warrants (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like). In
this case, the number of shares underlying both Warrants in the aggregate will
be 250,000 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and
the like) (the number of shares subject to each Warrant shall be designated by
Landlords, subject to such aggregate total for both Warrants). Tenant shall
issue such Common Stock warrant within 3 business days of receipt of such
Landlord's written notice of such election. In this case, such Landlord shall be
granted the same registration rights as the purchasers of Tenant's stock would
have received in the Equity Financing (even if such Equity

                                       6

<PAGE>

Financing never closes), except that the filing of the initial resale
registration statement shall be made not later than 10 business days following
the issuance of such Common Stock warrant and (in lieu of the monetary penalties
associated with the effectiveness deadline for the resale registration
statement) Tenant shall undertake all reasonable efforts to complete any
required registration requirements so that such Landlord may sell any such
shares at the earliest possible date.

               (c) In the event that a financing does occur but is for less than
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (and is therefore not deemed to be the
Equity Financing), so long as Landlords shall not have previously elected to
receive a Common Stock warrant pursuant to clause (b) above, either Landlord may
at its option elect to have its Warrant exercisable for the shares issued in
such financing with a per share exercise price equal to the per share purchase
price to be paid by the other purchasers in such financing, and using the forms
of warrants attached as Exhibits B-1 and B-2 (with appropriate changes for such
financing). In this case, the number of shares underlying both Warrants in the
aggregate will be 250,000 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
reclassification and the like) (the number of shares subject to each Warrant
shall be designated by Landlords, subject to such aggregate total for both
Warrants). In this case, Tenant shall issue such warrant immediately prior to
such financing provided it has received written notice of such election from
such Landlord at least 3 business days prior to the closing of such financing.
Tenant shall provide notice of such financing to Landlords at least 2 weeks
prior to the closing of such financing. In this case, such Landlord shall be
granted the same registration rights as the purchasers of Tenant's stock in such
financing, as if Landlords were purchasers in such financing (except for any
monetary penalties associated with any effectiveness deadline for the resale
registration statement to the extent the Warrants remain unexercised prior to
such deadline).

               (d) In the event the Equity Financing has not occurred prior to
August 31, 2003, so long as Landlords shall not have previously elected to
receive a warrant pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above, the Warrants shall be
issued on September 1, 2003 and be exercisable for Tenant's Common Stock at an
exercise price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the closing market price of
the Tenant's Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of
this Agreement (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification
and the like) or (ii) the closing market price of the Tenant's Common Stock on
the trading day immediately prior to the date of issuance of the Warrants (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like). In
this case, the number of shares underlying both Warrants in the aggregate will
be 250,000 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and
the like) (the number of shares subject to each Warrant shall be designated by
Landlords, subject to such aggregate total for both Warrants). In this case,
Landlords shall be granted the same registration rights as the purchasers of
Tenant's stock would have received in the Equity Financing (even if such Equity
Financing never closes), except that the filing of the initial resale
registration statement shall be made not later than 10 business days following
the issuance of such Common Stock warrant and (in lieu of the monetary penalties
associated with the effectiveness deadline for the resale registration
statement) Tenant shall undertake all reasonable efforts to complete any
required registration requirements so that Landlords may sell any such shares at
the earliest possible date.

                                       7

<PAGE>

          9. Landlords' Lease Reinstatement Option. In the event that (a) Tenant
fails to vacate any of the Premises pursuant to the terms of Section 2 above,
(b) the inventory, furniture, fixtures, and equipment is not transferred to
Landlords free and clear of any claims pursuant to the terms of Section 2 above,
and/or any information or documentation required pursuant to Section 2 above is
not timely delivered, (c) Landlords are not allowed unimpeded access pursuant to
the terms of Section 2 A above, (d) Landlords are prevented from drawing upon
the full amount of all letters of credit at any time they desire pursuant to
Section 3 above, (e) Landlords are required, for any reason, to pay back the
Termination Payment, (f) the releases of Tenant, as set forth in Section 4
above, are not fully enforceable, (g) any representation of Tenant under this
Agreement is not true and correct, (h) Tenant does not comply with it's
decommissioning requirements under Section 7 above, (i) Tenant breaches any term
of this Agreement, or (i) the warrant is not issued pursuant to the terms of
Section 8 above or Landlord is prevented from timely obtaining shares of
Tenant's stock pursuant to the terms of the Warrant; Landlords may, at either or
both of their option, elect that their respective Leases (or either of them as
the case may be) with Tenant, as reference above, be reinstated in full force
and effect and upon such election, Tenant shall immediately pay to the
respective Landlord all amounts accrued and unpaid under each such reinstated
Lease. In such event any amounts paid hereunder and allocated to such respective
Lease by Landlords shall be deemed held by such respective Landlord as a
security deposit under such Lease.

          10. No Disclosure. Landlords and Tenant each agree that they shall not
intentionally and voluntarily disclose any of the matters set forth in this
Agreement or disseminate or distribute any information concerning the terms,
details or conditions hereof to any person, firm or entity without obtaining the
express written approval of the other, except as may be necessary to enforce the
terms of this Agreement or as may be required by law. This Section shall have no
application in the event of an Insolvency Proceeding.

          11. No Offer. This Agreement shall not be binding until executed and
delivered by the parties. This Agreement shall not be relied upon by any other
party, individual, corporation, partnership or other entity as a basis for
terminating its lease with Landlords.

          12. Whole Agreement. The mutual obligations of the parties as provided
herein are the sole consideration for this Agreement, and no representations,

this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
which together shall constitute the Agreement. Faxed signatures hereon shall be
deemed originals for all purposes. If any party obtains a judgment against any
other party by reason of breach of this Agreement, reasonable attorneys' fees as
fixed by the court shall be included in such judgment. This Agreement and the
terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon

construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
Except as defined herein to the contrary, all terms used and not otherwise
