           [ * ] it to Amphora upon commercially reasonable terms.

    2.4.   FORECASTS AND ORDERS.

           2.4.1. FORECASTS. Amphora shall provide to Caliper, within thirty
                 (30) days after the Effective Date and by the fifth day of each
                 subsequent Calendar Quarter during the Term, Amphora's written,
                 good-faith forecast of the quantity of Chips and Instrument
                 Systems that Amphora anticipates it will order in each month
                 during the following twelve-month period (each, a "Forecast"),
                 provided that the number of Chips in the first six (6) months
                 of each Forecast may not be increased by more than 20% over the

                 Forecast for such Chip and/or Instrument System under this
                 Section 2.4.1, with deliveries commencing at a date mutually
                 agreed upon by the parties, which Caliper shall not require to
                 be later than when Caliper first makes such Chip or Instrument
                 System available to any third party Caliper shall supply to
                 Amphora the quantities of Chips and Instrument Systems set
                 forth in each Forecast to the extent set forth in Section
                 2.4.2. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.4,
                 if a Forecast for two (2) consecutive calendar months exceeds
                 by more than 25% the actual orders placed by Amphora for such
                 months, then Caliper shall be required to supply, in the
                 immediately following calendar month, the lesser of (i) the
                 percentage of Products required under Section 2.4.2 below, or
                 (ii) the percentage of Products required under Section 2.4.2
                 minus the average percentage by which the previous two months'
                 Forecast exceeded actual orders in such months. For example, if
                 the Forecast for two consecutive months exceeded actual orders
                 by 30% and 50% respectively, then Caliper shall only be
                 required to supply 60% of the Products that would otherwise be
                 required for the following month under Section 2.4.2.

           2.4.2. ORDERS. If Amphora provides to Caliper a purchase order for
                 Chips at least three (3) months prior to the Scheduled Delivery
                 Date for such Chips, then Caliper shall supply such Chips by
                 such date, provided that Caliper shall not be required to
                 timely supply that number of Chips which is in excess of 110%
                 of the Forecast in the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter,
                 provided that Caliper shall use commercially reasonable efforts
                 to fill orders for such quantities of Chips from available
                 supplies. If Amphora provides to Caliper a purchase order for
                 Instrument Systems at least six (6) months prior to the
                 Scheduled Delivery Date for such Instrument Systems, then
                 Caliper shall supply such Instrument Systems by such date,
                 provided that Caliper shall not be required to timely deliver
                 that number of Instrument Systems which is in excess of 120% of
                 the Forecast provided to Caliper in the Calendar Quarter prior
                 to the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter, provided that
                 Caliper shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill
                 orders for such excess quantities of Instrument Systems from
                 available supplies. Caliper shall notify Amphora within fifteen
                 (15) calendar days from receipt of a purchase order of its
                 ability to fill any amounts of such order in excess of the
                 quantities that Caliper is obligated to supply. It is
                 acknowledged and agreed that the parties may mutually agree
                 from time to time to substitute new or improved Chips for
                 existing Chips set forth in Amphora's Forecasts. The
                 appropriate employees from each party shall meet on a monthly
                 basis, or as otherwise mutually agreed, to discuss the
                 Forecasts.

           2.4.3. EARLY DELIVERY. For Chips delivered more than fifteen (15)
                 calendar days in advance of the Scheduled Delivery Date,
                 Amphora shall have the right to return such Chips to Caliper
                 freight collect (with risk of loss remaining on Caliper) or
                 accept such Chips

                 Assays and use of Products, with the intended result of making
                 Amphora independent in its use of the Products and in LabChip
                 Assay development. The parties will attempt to schedule such
                 training at mutually convenient times, provided that Caliper
                 shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the timing
                 requested by Amphora. Caliper shall also use commercially
                 reasonable efforts to provide the training at the locations
                 requested by Amphora, including a number of visits to Amphora's
                 facilities in North Carolina to be mutually agreed.

           3.3.3. INSTALLATION. It is acknowledged and agreed that, if the
                 parties have not previously agreed upon an installation date
                 for an Instrument System or component thereof, then within

           that, as between Caliper and such individual, all technology and IP
           invented or developed by such individual in the course of performing
           the services is assigned to and owned solely by Caliper. As between
           Caliper and Amphora, ownership shall be determined in accordance with
           the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a Related Agreement
           unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by both parties.

    3.7.   FACILITY RULES. All individuals provided by Caliper to perform
           services, while on Amphora's premises, shall comply with all
           applicable rules and regulations of Amphora. No such individual shall
           stop, delay or interfere with Amphora's day-to-day operations without
           the prior written consent of Amphora. Caliper shall be solely
           responsible for compliance with the laws, rules, and regulations of
           any government entity with respect to all such individuals, including
           employment of labor, hours of labor, payment of wages, payment of
           taxes, unemployment, social security and other payroll taxes, and
           obtaining applicable contributions from such individuals when so
           required by law.

    3.8.   THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY. Caliper shall not use any IP or technology
           owned by a third party in connection with any services hereunder, or
           disclose any such third party IP or technology to Amphora, unless
           Caliper obtains Amphora's prior written consent and provides Amphora
           with all information reasonably requested by Amphora regarding such
           IP and technology, in each case, if Caliper's use of such third party
           technology in connection with the provision of services to Amphora,
           or Amphora's exploitation of the results of Caliper's services, would
           violate any agreement with or proprietary right of the third party.

    3.9.   DEVELOPMENT RECORDS. Caliper shall make commercially reasonable
           efforts to maintain reasonable records relating to services provided
           under this Agreement.

                        warranty claim for a defective Chip or Instrument
                        System, then the Datapoints generated by such Chip or
                        Instrument System during the period in which Amphora
                        claims that such Chip or Instrument System was defective
                        shall not count towards the total number of Datapoints
                        generated by Amphora for purposes of invoicing Amphora
                        for Datapoint fees under Section 4.2.2.2 above, provided
                        that (i) Amphora shall have in place sufficient quality
                        control procedures to, and shall in the event of a
                        warranty claim, cease use of, the allegedly defective
                        Chip or Instrument System within one (1) day of Amphora
                        becoming aware of the defect; (ii) Amphora shall report
                        such defective Product and, in the event of a defective
                        Chip, return the Chip to Caliper, within five (5)
                        calendar days of Amphora becoming aware of the defect,
                        and (iii) the claim was subsequently verified or
                        accepted by Caliper, such review by Caliper to occur
                        within thirty (30) days after the claim is submitted by
                        Amphora. The parties shall cooperate to establish
                        further procedures to administer this Section 4.2.2.3.

                 4.2.2.4. FAILURE OF CHIP SUPPLY. Notwithstanding Sections
                        4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2, if, in any Calendar Quarter during
                        the first two Production Years, Caliper fails to supply
                        to Amphora by the Scheduled Delivery Date at least 80%
                        of the Chips that Caliper is required to supply pursuant
                        to Section 2.4, then a percentage of the quarterly
                        Datapoint fees that were paid by Amphora at the
                        beginning of such Calendar Quarter shall be reimbursed
                        by Caliper to Amphora as a credit or refund in
                        accordance with Section 4.2.2.6 below. The percentage of
                        such Datapoint fees to be reimbursed shall equal the
                        difference between 100% and the actual percentage of
                        such Chips delivered by Caliper to Amphora by the
                        Scheduled Delivery Date during such Calendar Quarter.

                 4.2.2.5. CHIP WARRANTY ISSUES. Notwithstanding Sections 4.2.2.1
                        and 4.2.2.2, if, in any Calendar Quarter during the
                        first two Production Years, more than 20% of Chips
                        delivered in any Calendar Quarter are returned by
                        Amphora due to a warranty claim, and Caliper's warranty
                        or service organization agrees to provide any
                        accommodation to Amphora in view of such warranty claim
                        (applying the same standards Caliper applies to warranty
                        claims from its other customers), then a percentage of
                        the quarterly Datapoint fees that were paid by Amphora
                        at the beginning of such Calendar Quarter shall be
                        reimbursed by Caliper to Amphora as a credit or refund
                        in accordance with Section 4.2.2.6 below. The percentage
                        of

                        Datapoint fees to be reimbursed shall equal the
                        difference between 100% and the percentage of Chips
                        delivered to Amphora during such Calendar Quarter that
                        were not the subject of an acknowledged warranty claim
                        as set forth above.

                 4.2.2.6. REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURE. Each reimbursement accruing
                        in a Calendar Quarter pursuant to this Section 4.2.2
                        shall be provided by Caliper to Amphora as a credit
                        against Datapoint fees due at the beginning of the
                        immediately following Calendar Quarter; provided that if
                        the applicable failure or delay occurs during the last
                        Calendar Quarter for which a quarterly payment is made
                        under Sections 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2, then reimbursement
                        shall be provided as refund paid by Caliper to Amphora
                        within thirty (30) days after the end of such Calendar
                        Quarter. Any reimbursements or reductions of quarterly
                        Datapoint fees pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 shall be
                        cumulative, provided that reimbursements by Caliper
                        shall not exceed the total amount of Datapoint fees due
                        to Caliper in any Calendar Quarter.

    4.3.   SERVICES PRICING. From the Effective Date until the end of the first
           Production Year, services provided hereunder shall be invoiced at a
           rate of [ * ] (excluding travel expenses for which Amphora is
           responsible as set forth below). Thereafter, such services shall be
           provided by Caliper at rate that is no greater than Caliper's
           then-current list price for comparable services. Amphora will
           reimburse Caliper for Caliper's out of pocket costs of airfare, hotel
           accommodations, and meals reasonably necessary in connection with the
           applicable service pursuant to a reimbursement policy mutually agreed
           by the parties.

    4.4.   [ * ]. From the beginning of [ * ] until the end of the Term, when
           Amphora enters into negotiations with Caliper regarding the pricing
           and other purchase terms of Datapoints and/or Products ("[ * ]
           Products"), [ * ].

    4.5.   PAYMENT TERMS.

           4.5.1. GENERAL. All amounts set forth in this Agreement are in U.S.
                 dollars. Caliper shall invoice Amphora on the date of shipping
                 of a Product. Amphora shall pay all invoices within thirty (30)
                 calendar days of receipt. Except as expressly set forth herein,
                 Caliper shall bear all direct and other costs associated with
                 its personnel performing services. Except as set forth in the
                 Purchase Terms, each party shall be solely responsible for and
                 shall pay all taxes based on amounts it receives in the
                 connection with this Agreement and will fully indemnify the
                 other party for any failure to pay such taxes. If a party does
                 not pay an amount payable to the other party under this
                 Agreement on or prior to the due date, late fees shall accrue
                 and become immediately due and payable on the outstanding
                 unpaid balance at a rate of the lower of one and one-half
                 percent (1.5%) per month or the highest amount permitted by
                 law. Caliper shall have the right, at its

                 option, to discontinue the provision of services hereunder upon
                 ten (10) days notice (with a right to cure) if Amphora has not
                 paid an undisputed invoice within ninety (90) days of receipt
                 of proper invoice.

           4.5.2. SERVICES. Caliper shall invoice Amphora quarterly in advance
                 for services provided pursuant to a Project Plan. During the
                 first Contract Year, such invoices shall be for a minimum of
                 [ * ] provided that Caliper has made such FTEs reasonably
                 available to Amphora. The fees for each quarter in subsequent
                 years shall be based on the number of hours of support
                 scheduled to be provided for such quarter pursuant to a Project
                 Plan. Requests at any time for Caliper support for a program in
                 excess of the amounts set forth in the Project Plan or
                 otherwise previously agreed upon shall be subject to mutual
                 agreement. The parties shall reconcile any discrepancy between
                 funding and actual Caliper time provided for each quarter
                 within thirty (30) days after the final report for the
                 preceding Calendar Quarter has been delivered to Amphora.
                 Amphora shall not be responsible for any FTE costs or other
                 fees for service except to the extent that the cost and fees
                 have been approved in advance in a further writing signed by
                 Amphora, (not including Amphora's obligation with respect to
                 the four (4) FTEs for the first Contract Year as set forth in
                 Section 3.4 above) and Caliper shall not be obligated to
                 perform any activities unless such activities have been
                 approved by Amphora in writing.

           4.5.3. VARIABLE DATAPOINT FEES. The Datapoint fees set forth in
                 Sections 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 shall be payable on a quarterly
                 basis in four equal installments, subject to applicable
                 reductions as set forth in Section 4.2.2 after the beginning of
                 each of the four Calendar Quarters consecutively following the
                 beginning of the first or second Production Year, as
                 applicable. In the event that Amphora generates Datapoints in
                 excess of [ * ] during the second Production Year, the parties
                 shall agree on the process for reporting and payment for such
                 Datapoints, including the timing of such payments.

           4.5.4. RECORDS AND INSPECTION. In addition to the development records
                 required under Section 3.9, each party shall keep complete,
                 true and accurate books of account and records sufficient to
                 determine and establish the applicable party's compliance with
                 its obligations under Sections 2.1, 3.6, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and 4.4.
                 Such books and records shall be kept reasonably accessible for
                 three (3) years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to
                 which they pertain. All such records maintained by a party
                 shall be made available for inspection by the other party
                 throughout such three (3) year period by an independent third
                 party auditor selected by mutual agreement of the parties. Such
                 inspections may be made at any time during a party's normal
                 business hours upon five (5) days advance notice. The
                 requesting party shall bear the costs and expenses of
                 inspections conducted under this Section 4.5.4, unless a
                 material non-compliance with this Agreement is identified,
                 whereupon all costs of the audit paid to third parties will

                 be paid by the audited party. In the event that an audit
                 demonstrates that payment from one party to another party is
                 required hereunder, the paying party shall make such payment
                 within thirty (30) days after completion of the audit, together
                 with interest on such overpayment at the rate specified in
                 Section 4.5.1.

5.  COLLABORATION AND DEVELOPMENT.

    5.1.   CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT. If Amphora would like to have Caliper develop new
           products or modify existing Caliper products to customize them to
           Amphora's specifications, then Caliper shall negotiate with Amphora
           in good faith regarding an agreement under which Caliper is obligated
           to provide such custom development services. Custom development
           projects may be conducted pursuant to the following general terms
           (the specific terms of which shall be negotiated later by the
           parties):

                             (a) Amphora may fund all Caliper FTEs at a rate to
                                 be mutually agreed.

                             (b) Amphora controls the project's objectives and
                                 budget, subject to Caliper's discretion as to
                                 technical feasibility and potential
                                 infringement of third party IP. The parties
                                 mutually agree on how to achieve the
                                 objectives, reasonable timelines and
                                 milestones, roles and responsibilities, etc.
                                 The parties may also agree on incentives to
                                 spur the development process.

                             (c) Caliper may have rights to commercialize
                                 resulting products. However, Amphora may have a
                                 period of exclusivity or other competitive
                                 advantage with respect to use of such products
                                 in a Screening Database Business.

                             (d) Depending on the scale of the project and other
                                 factors, the parties may negotiate some form of
                                 royalty.

    5.2    ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT. Amphora and Caliper may mutually agree to
           accelerate a product in the Caliper product development lifecycle,
           and the following general terms may apply: (i) Caliper may control
           the project's objectives, (ii) Amphora may fund less than 100% of
           Caliper's FTEs, and (iii) an exclusivity period may or may not apply.
           The parties have agreed that, subject to agreement on terms, Amphora
           may accelerate the development of the Twelve Sipper System and the
           Library Card System under this Section 5.2 (not as a custom project
           under Section 5.1) once such systems have entered the Laboratory
           Phase pursuant to terms mutually agreed by the parties. If Amphora
           would like to have Caliper accelerate development of any system or
           product, then Caliper shall negotiate with Amphora in good faith
           regarding an agreement under which Caliper is obligated to provide
           such services.

    5.3    TWELVE SIPPER AND LIBRARY CARD SYSTEMS.

           5.3.1 AVAILABILITY. Caliper currently expects that the Twelve Sipper
                 System will enter the laboratory prototype phase of its product
                 lifecycle (the "Laboratory Phase") by [ * ] and currently
                 expects that the Library Card System will enter the Laboratory
                 Phase by [ * ] (each, the "Projected Availability Date").
                 Caliper shall keep Amphora fully informed regarding Caliper's
                 progress toward each of the Projected Availability Dates and
                 shall notify Amphora promptly in writing in the event of any
                 potential delay in either Projected Availability Date,
                 describing in such notice Caliper's best estimate of the
                 revised Projected Availability Date.

           5.3.2 INCENTIVE AND LATE FEES. If the Twelve Sipper System enters the
                 Laboratory Phase by [ * ] then Amphora shall pay to Caliper a
                 one-time incentive fee of [ * ]. If the Twelve Sipper System
                 enters the Laboratory Phase on or after [ * ] then Caliper
                 shall pay to Amphora a one-time late fee of [ * ]. If the
                 Library Card System enters the Laboratory Phase by [ * ] then
                 Amphora shall pay to Caliper a one-time incentive fee of [ * ].
                 If the Library Card System enters the Laboratory Phase on or
                 after [ * ] then Caliper shall pay to Amphora a one-time late
                 fee of [ * ]. Any incentive payments paid by Amphora under this
                 Section shall not be counted towards Amphora's Minimums as set
                 forth in Section 3.4 of the Intellectual Property Agreement.

                 process) related or reasonably ancillary to (i) its Screening
                 Database Business, or (ii) providing contract Screening
                 services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amphora agrees that it
                 will not exercise the license in this Section 6.1 to use a
                 product for Screening to provide contract Screening services
                 without obtaining Caliper's prior written consent to such
                 development, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
                 The foregoing license grant is subject to all the terms and
                 conditions set forth in Sections 2.3 through 2.7 of the
                 Intellectual Property Agreement regarding license rights to
                 Screening Products, as well as the terms and conditions set
                 forth below in this Article 6. The rights set forth in this
                 Article 6 may not be sublicensed, shared or transferred in any
                 manner without the prior written consent of Caliper, except as
                 otherwise provided in Section 6.8 below and in Section 14.5 .
                 If Caliper releases a Product after Amphora has already begun
                 development of an Amphora Developed Product that is
                 substantially the same as such Product, then the license set
                 forth in this Section 6.1 shall apply to such Amphora Developed
                 Product.

           6.1.2. LICENSE TO SELL TARGET ASSAY PROTOCOLS. Subject to the terms
                 and conditions of this Agreement, Caliper hereby grants to
                 Amphora a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid up, royalty
                 free, right and license, under the Licensable Intellectual
                 Property having an Effective Filing Date or generated prior to
                 the third anniversary of the Effective Date to sell and
                 disclose Target Assay Protocols for use with Instrument Systems
                 and Chips offered for sale by Caliper or any Caliper Partner.

    6.2.   MODIFICATIONS OF PRODUCTS. The license set forth in Section 6.1 above
           includes the right to modify in any way any hardware or software
           included in a Product purchased by Amphora from Caliper. However, if
           any such modification is made, all warranty and other service
           commitments made by Caliper in connection with the sale of the
           particular Product unit that has been modified will be voided, and
           Caliper will not be obligated to support or provide upgrades for such
           modified Product unit unless the parties have otherwise agreed in
           writing. Upon request by Amphora, Caliper will provide source code
           for any software (including firmware) installed on or provided with a
           Product purchased by Amphora. If Amphora desires any further
           assistance from Caliper to modify such software or develop software
           for an Amphora Developed Product, such assistance shall be the
           subject of negotiations of a collaborative development project as
           discussed in Section 6.4 below. In

           addition, Amphora may reproduce the software provided with a Product
           for development purposes in accordance with this Article 6, provided
           that such reproduced software shall not be installed on any Product
           unit for which software was not previously purchased from Caliper.

    6.3.   DEVELOPMENT OF MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS AND CHIP CARTRIDGES. Caliper
           reserves all rights to design and otherwise develop the microfluidic
           chip or chip cartridge for use with any Amphora Developed Product. In
           response to any request from Amphora for Caliper to perform such
           activities, Caliper agrees to offer Amphora terms for providing such
           services that are no less favorable to Amphora than those terms
           Caliper generally offers to third parties for similar development. In
           all cases Caliper shall have the right to require that the
           specifications for each microfluidic chip and chip cartridge be
           consistent with then current Caliper design standards and chip
           manufacturing processes.

    6.4.   DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER COMPONENTS. With regard to all components other
           than the microfluidic chip and chip cartridge to be used with any
           Amphora Developed Product, Caliper shall have a right of first
           negotiation as described below to provide any development services
           which Amphora may elect to have provided on its behalf by a third
           party. Before discussing any such project with any third party,
           Amphora shall notify Caliper in writing of the project. Amphora shall
           provide Caliper with relevant, non-confidential information and
           negotiate in good faith with Caliper for at least ten (10) days
           regarding Caliper providing such development services. After such
           period, Amphora shall be free to discuss such project with any third
           party and enter into any development relationship that is consistent
           with this Agreement.

    6.5.   MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY OF MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS AND CHIP CARTRIDGES.
           Caliper reserves all rights to manufacture and supply each
           microfluidic chip and each chip cartridge for use with any Amphora
           Developed Product, on terms to be negotiated or established in the
           future.

    6.6.   MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY OF INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER COMPONENTS. With
           regard to instruments and other hardware for use with any Amphora
           Developed Product (not including prototypes or other
           development-stage systems), Caliper shall have a right of first
           refusal as described below to manufacture and supply such hardware to
           Amphora. Caliper shall have no rights of first refusal or
           negotiation, or any other preferential rights, with respect to
           manufacture and supply of software or reagents for use with any
           Amphora Developed Product. Before discussing any manufacturing and
           supply project with any third party, Amphora shall notify Caliper in
           writing of the project. Amphora shall provide Caliper with relevant,
           non-confidential information and negotiate in good faith with Caliper
           for at least ten (10) days regarding Caliper providing such
           manufacturing services. If Amphora and Caliper do not agree during
           such time period, Amphora shall not enter into any such

           agreement with a third party without having previously offered
           Caliper the opportunity to perform such manufacturing on
           substantially similar material terms as the terms offered by such
           third party in a term sheet. Caliper shall accept or reject to any
           such offer by Amphora within ten (10) days. If Caliper accepts the
           offer, then the parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to
           enter into an agreement within thirty (30) days thereafter. Amphora
           may require that information disclosed to Caliper under this Section
           6.6 shall be treated as Amphora Confidential Information and shall
           not be subject to the license rights granted to Caliper under Article
           7.

    6.7.   NO SALES OF AMPHORA DEVELOPED PRODUCTS. Amphora shall not sell or
           otherwise provide to any third party any Amphora Developed Product,
           except to subcontractors for use on Amphora's behalf pursuant to
           Section 6.8 below or as otherwise set forth in Section 6.1.2.

    6.8.   SUBLICENSING AND THIRD PARTIES. Amphora shall have the right to have
           Amphora Developed Products developed, made or used on its behalf
           pursuant to the license granted in Section 6.1.1 above by any third
           party (a "Subcontractor"), provided Amphora has complied with all the
           other provisions of this Article 6 in doing so, and subject to
           subsections 6.8.1 and 6.8.2.

           6.8.1. INFRINGING SUBCONTRACTORS. Amphora may not engage any third
                 party in any such activities if such third party is otherwise
                 engaged in activities that infringe Caliper Intellectual
                 Property. So that Caliper may monitor this provision, Amphora
                 shall disclose the name of each such third party to Caliper
                 prior to engaging the third party and permit Caliper a
                 reasonable time, not to exceed fifteen (15) days, to
                 investigate and object to such third party on these grounds.

           6.8.2. SUBCONTRACTOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Amphora shall require any third
                 party engaged as a Subcontractor to enter into a written
                 agreement with Amphora expressly agreeing to all of the same
                 restrictions and obligations applicable to Amphora under
                 Section 2.3 of the Intellectual Property Agreement and Sections
                 6.3, 6.5 and 6.7 above. Amphora shall make Caliper a third
                 party beneficiary of such provisions and shall provide Caliper
                 with a copy of such provisions promptly following their
                 execution. Caliper shall have the right to enforce such
                 contractual provisions if Amphora fails to take reasonable
                 actions to address any breach of such provisions within a
                 reasonable time after notice of the breach.

           IP, whether patentable or not, created or invented solely by its
           employees and/or consultants and (ii) Caliper and Amphora shall
           jointly own inventions, works of authorship, other technology, and IP
           created or invented jointly by employees and/or consultants of both
           parties, and neither party shall have any obligation to obtain the
           consent of the other party in order to exploit or license such
           inventions, works of authorship, technology, or IP, or any duty to
           account to the other party for profits obtained therefrom. Each party
           shall execute all documents and take all actions reasonably necessary
           to perfect ownership rights of the other party as provided in this
           Article 7 and to enable the filing of patent applications for
           assigned inventions. Inventorship of all inventions covered by this
           Agreement shall be determined under U.S. patent laws.

    7.2.   LABCHIP IMPROVEMENTS.

           7.2.1. PATENTED LABCHIP IMPROVEMENTS. Amphora hereby assigns to
                 Caliper all of Amphora's right, title and interest in and to
                 all Patent Rights to the extent claiming any LabChip
                 Improvements. Caliper shall have the sole right to determine
                 whether to file for any Patent Rights claiming a LabChip
                 Improvement disclosed to Caliper pursuant to Section 7.2.2.
                 below, and to control the prosecution and defense of any Patent
                 Rights with respect thereto. If requested by Caliper, Amphora
                 shall cooperate in patenting activities for such LabChip
                 Improvements, at Caliper's expense, and shall execute any
                 documents necessary to effect such assignment. In exchange for
                 this assignment, Caliper hereby grants to Amphora a
                 royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as
                 provided in Section 14.5), perpetual license under such Patent
                 Rights to use such LabChip Improvements, and have them used by
                 others on Amphora's behalf, in Amphora's Screening Database
                 Business, provided that no rights in any other Caliper
                 Intellectual Property (e.g. background patents) are granted
                 pursuant to this Section 7.2.1.

           7.2.2. UNPATENTED LABCHIP IMPROVEMENTS. For any LabChip Improvement
                 that is not claimed in any patent application or patent,
                 Amphora may elect either to disclose information regarding such
                 LabChip Improvement to Caliper or to retain such information as
                 confidential to Amphora. Caliper may use or disclose freely,
                 without restriction under Article 8 below, any such information
                 that Amphora discloses to Caliper. Such use or disclosure may
                 include, without limitation, inclusion of such information in
                 any patent application filed by Caliper.

           7.2.3. SOFTWARE PATENTS. The parties recognize that Amphora may make
                 software inventions based upon source code provided by Caliper
                 under Section 6.2. Amphora shall grant Caliper a royalty-free
                 non-exclusive license under any Amphora Patent

                 Rights claiming such inventions for use for all applications
                 outside the Screening Database Business.

    7.3.   AMPHORA IMPROVEMENTS

           7.3.1. PATENTED AMPHORA IMPROVEMENTS. Caliper hereby assigns to
                 Amphora all of Caliper's right, title and interest in and to
                 all Patent Rights to the extent claiming any Amphora
                 Improvements. Amphora shall have the sole right to determine
                 whether to file for any Patent Rights claiming an Amphora
                 Improvement disclosed to Amphora pursuant to Section 7.3.2.
                 below, and to control the prosecution and defense of any Patent
                 Rights with respect thereto. If requested by Amphora, Caliper
                 shall cooperate in patenting activities for such Amphora
                 Improvements, at Amphora's expense, and shall execute any
                 documents necessary to effect such assignment. In exchange for
                 this assignment, Amphora hereby grants to Caliper a
                 royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as
                 provided in Section 14.5), perpetual license under any such
                 Patent Rights applicable to Target Assay Protocols to use
                 Target Assay Protocols included in Amphora Improvements, and
                 have them used by others on Caliper's behalf, generally in
                 Caliper's business, but not to sell or otherwise provide such
                 Target Assay Protocols or materially the same Target Assay
                 Protocol to third parties; provided that no rights in any other
                 Amphora IP (e.g. background patents) are granted pursuant to
                 this Section 7.3.1.

           7.3.2. UNPATENTED AMPHORA IMPROVEMENTS. For any Amphora Improvement
                 that is not claimed in any patent application or patent,
                 Caliper may elect either to disclose information regarding such
                 Amphora Improvement to Amphora or to retain such information as
                 confidential to Caliper. Amphora may use or disclose freely,
                 without restriction under Article 8 below, any such information
                 that Amphora discloses to Caliper. Such use or disclosure may
                 include, without limitation, inclusion of such information in
                 any patent application filed by Amphora.

    7.4.   USE OF AMPHORA MATERIALS. Amphora and/or its Affiliates may provide
           to Caliper pursuant to this Agreement certain compounds, substrates,
           reagents and other materials (collectively, the "Materials"), which
           are and shall remain the sole property of Amphora. Any information
           provided in connection with the Materials shall be treated as
           Confidential Information of Amphora, except as otherwise provided in
           this Agreement. The provision of Materials to Caliper under this
           Agreement does not grant Caliper any license or other right to such
           Materials, except the limited right to use the Materials for the sole
           purpose of satisfying its obligations to Amphora under this Agreement
           and for no other purpose, except as otherwise provided in this
           Agreement. Caliper understands that some Materials may have
           unpredictable or unknown biological and/or chemical properties and
           that they should be used with caution. Upon request by Amphora,
           Caliper shall promptly return to Amphora or


[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

           destroy any remaining Materials.

    7.5.   NEW LAB-ON-A-CHIP PRODUCTS. The parties recognize that they have
           mutual interests in the development of New Lab-on-a-Chip Products;
           Caliper primarily for purposes of commercializing such products and
           Amphora primarily for purposes of using them in connection with its
           Screening Database Business. Caliper is granting rights under Caliper
           Intellectual Property in Article 6 in order to enable Amphora, not
           just Caliper, to pursue these types of developments. The parties also
           wish to encourage a spirit of open communication and collaboration
           between them in the early investigation of such product
           opportunities, while preserving the freedom in later development
           stages to either collaborate or pursue independent efforts. The
           parties expect that it may be in their mutual interests to pursue
           such opportunities collaboratively. However, they may review and
           discuss such matters on a case by case basis in the future.
           Accordingly, they agree as follows:

           7.5.1. DISCLOSURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW LAB-ON-A-CHIP PRODUCTS. If
                 either party is interested in pursuing development of a New
                 Lab-on-a-Chip Product, it may do so independently or seek a
                 collaborative development agreement with the other party on the
                 terms contemplated in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 or other terms.
                 Either party may choose, in its sole discretion, whether to
                 disclose or not disclose to the other party any or all
                 information concerning an internal project to develop a New
                 Lab-on-a-Chip, and if so, to what extent. Any such information
                 disclosed to the other party, whether in writing, orally or
                 otherwise in the course of the parties' work together
                 ("Disclosed New Lab-on-a-Chip Product Information"), shall be
                 subject to the license granted to the other party in this
                 Section 7.5. However, even if a party elects not to disclose
                 such information with regard to a particular project, such
                 party acknowledges that any Patent Rights arising out of the
                 undisclosed project will nevertheless be included in the
                 following license grant. The parties expressly agree to this
                 provision in order to encourage collaborative efforts and to
                 avoid having either party be "blocked" from developing and
                 exploiting New Lab-on-a-Chip Products by Patent Rights
                 generated by the other party.

           7.5.2. GRANT TO CALIPER. Amphora hereby grants to Caliper a
                 worldwide, fully paid up, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
                 non-transferable (except as provided in this Section and
                 Section 14.5), right and license, under (i) all Patent Rights
                 owned or licensable by Amphora during the Term having an

                 (Exclusivity for Screening Database Business) except that such
                 terms shall apply for twenty (20) years from the Effective
                 Date, irrespective of expiration or termination of the
                 Intellectual Property Agreement. Caliper may sublicense such
                 rights, subject to the foregoing exclusivity, only to third
                 parties engaged with Caliper in the development, manufacture or
                 sale of New Lab-on-a-Chip Products, and only if (i) such third
                 parties expressly agree to the preceding terms, and (ii)
                 Caliper manufactures and supplies the chip for use in such New
                 Lab-on-a-Chip Product.

                 Section 14.5), right and license, under (i) all Patent Rights
                 owned or licensable by Caliper during the Term having an
                 Effective Filing Date between the Effective Date and the
                 expiration or termination of this Agreement, other than Patent
                 Rights acquired by Caliper from third parties, and (ii) all
                 Caliper trade secret and other know-how rights pertaining to
                 Disclosed New Lab-on-a-Chip Product Information, in each case
                 (a) to develop, make and use New Lab-on-a-Chip Products on the
                 same terms and conditions applicable to Amphora Developed
                 Products under Article 6 of this Agreement and, in addition,
                 (b) with respect to General Assay Protocols and LabChip Assays,
                 and any portion thereof, that have been developed and made
                 pursuant to (a) above and designed to run on instruments and
                 microfluidic chips sold commercially by Caliper or a Caliper
                 Partner, to sell and disclose such LabChip Assays that include
                 Target Assay Protocols developed by Amphora (and tangible
                 embodiments thereof other than microfluidic chips and
                 instruments) to Amphora's Screening Database Business
                 customers. Amphora may sublicense such rights only to third
                 parties engaged with Amphora in the above activities, and only
                 if such third parties expressly agree to the preceding terms.

8.  CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICITY

    8.1.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the Term, and for a period of three
           (3) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
           each party shall maintain in confidence any and all Confidential
           Information received from the other party. Each party further agrees
           that it shall not use for any purpose not authorized under this
           Agreement or the Intellectual Property Agreement or disclose to any
           third party the Confidential Information of the other party, except
           that either party may disclose Confidential Information of the other
           party on a need-to-know basis for such purposes to its directors,
           officers, employees, consultants, agents and Affiliates if it shall
           have first required such recipients to undertake an obligation of
           confidentiality and non-use materially as protective as this Section
           8.1. For avoidance of doubt and except as otherwise set forth herein,
           Caliper is authorized to use and disclose the Confidential
           Information of Amphora under this Section 8.1 solely as necessary to
           supply Products to, and perform services for, Amphora under this
           Agreement. Notwithstanding the

           provisions of this Section, each party may disclose the other party's
           Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is reasonably
           necessary to comply with applicable governmental laws, regulations,
           or orders; provided that if a party is required to make any such
           disclosure of the other party's Confidential Information, it will, to
           the extent it may legally do so, give reasonable advance notice to
           such other party of such disclosure and will use its reasonable
           efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information prior to
           its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise).
           Notwithstanding this Section 8.1, the obligations of confidentiality
           and non-use set forth above shall not apply to the extent that the
           provisions of Articles 6 or 7 grant the receiving party rights to
           disclose or use Confidential Information.

    8.2.   PUBLICITY. Neither party shall originate any news release or other
           public announcement (except with regard to SEC or other financial
           reporting obligations) relating to this Agreement without providing
           the other party with the opportunity to review and provide comments
           regarding the contents of such announcement. With regard to SEC or
           other financial reporting obligations relating to this Agreement,
           each party shall make commercially reasonable efforts to consult with
           the other party prior to any public announcements.

    8.3.   CONFIDENTIAL TERMS. The terms of this Agreement shall be Confidential
           Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose
           this Agreement, under reasonable obligations of confidentiality and
           non-use on a need-to-know basis, to investors and their
           representatives in a private or public financing transaction, to
           potential acquirers or targets and their representatives in a
           corporate change of control transaction, otherwise in connection with
           a merger, acquisition of stock or assets, proposed merger or
           acquisition, or the like, as advisable or required by law (including
           but not limited to the filing of this Agreement as an exhibit to a
           document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), order or
           regulation of a governmental agency, to legal counsel of such
           parties, or in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or
           rights under this Agreement. The disclosing party shall provide
           written notice to the other party of any such disclosure advisable or
           required by law, order or regulation of a governmental agency,
           reasonably in advance if practical. If either party intends to file
           this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
           party agrees to provide the other party with a copy of the proposed
           filing for review and comment at least ten days in advance of the
           filing date. The disclosing party shall not unreasonably withhold its
           acceptance of any comments made by the other party within such
           period.

                 accordance with its terms.

           9.1.2. NO DEFAULT. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does
                 not, and the consummation of the transactions and performance
                 of the obligations by such party under this Agreement,
                 including the disclosure of any information to the other party,

                 rule, regulation, judgment, order, decree, or ordinance, in
                 each case as in effect as of the Effective Date, applicable to

                 the bylaws or articles of incorporation of such party or its
                 Affiliates; (iii) result in any breach or default (with or
                 without notice or lapse of time, or both) under any agreement,
                 contract, or other instrument to which such party or its
                 Affiliate is a party; or (iv) result in the creation of any
                 liens, pledges, charges, claims, security interests or other

                 other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or
                 foreign (a "Governmental Entity") or any other person or
                 entity, is required by or with respect to such party or its
                 Affiliates in connection with the execution or delivery of this
                 Agreement or the consummation of the transactions or
                 performance of the obligations by Caliper or its Affiliates

    9.2.   ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES BY CALIPER. Caliper hereby represents and
           warrants to Amphora that the statements made in this Section 9.2 are
           true and correct as of the Effective Date:

           9.2.1. NO NOTICE OF INFRINGEMENT. Caliper has not received notice

                 sale, offer for sale, importation, or other exploitation of any
                 Product infringes or misappropriates the IP of any Person (nor
                 has Caliper determined that there is any reasonable basis
                 therefor), nor has Caliper received

                 notice from any Person claiming that the exploitation of any
                 Product constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under
                 the laws of any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing,
                 no claims with respect to any Product have been communicated to
                 Caliper challenging the ownership or validity of Caliper's
                 rights in or to the Products.

           9.2.2. LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding, claim or
                 governmental investigation pending or, to Caliper's knowledge,
                 threatened, against Caliper related to any Product.

10. DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    10.1.  CALIPER DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING
           THE PURCHASE TERMS OR THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT, THE
           PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A PRODUCT
           WARRANTY BY CALIPER OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY,
           OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
           A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CALIPER TECHNOLOGY, PRODUCT
           OR OTHER PRODUCTS DEVELOPED OR PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
           Caliper shall not be liable to Amphora for any personal injury or
           property damage resulting from use of any Product in a manner that is
           not recommended by Caliper and is not reasonably contemplated or
           intended, except in the case of gross negligence by Caliper, its
           Affiliate or the designee of Caliper or its Affiliate.

    10.2.  AMPHORA DISCLAIMER. AMPHORA MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
           ANY KIND IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AMPHORA HEREBY
           EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
           CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE,
           INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
           PURPOSE. Caliper acknowledges that some of the targets and/or
           Materials to be provided to Caliper pursuant to this Agreement are
           for research purposes. Caliper acknowledges that such targets and/or
           Materials can carry risks and must be handled appropriately. Amphora
           shall not be liable to Caliper for any personal injury or property
           damage resulting from the use or handling of such targets and/or
           Materials, except in the case of gross negligence by Amphora or its
           Affiliate.

    10.3.  NO RELIANCE. Neither party has relied upon any representations or
           warranties of the other party in entering into this Agreement except
           as set forth in this Agreement or the Intellectual Property
           Agreement.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>


    10.4.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF SECTION
           8, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY
           INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST
           PROFITS), EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
           THEREOF. Each party acknowledges that the foregoing limitations are
           an essential element of the Agreement between the parties and that in
           the absence of such limitations the pricing and other terms set forth
           in this Agreement would be substantially different.

11. INDEMNIFICATION

    11.1.  INDEMNIFICATION. Each party (the "Indemnitor") agrees to indemnify,
           defend and hold harmless each of the other party and its Affiliates,
           and the directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors, of
           each of such party and its Affiliates, and the successors and assigns
           of any of the foregoing (the "Indemnitees"), from and against any and
           all liabilities, damages, settlements, claims, actions, suits,
           proceedings, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including, without
           limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses of
           litigation) (any of the foregoing, a "Claim") incurred by any
           Indemnitee, based upon a claim of a third party arising from or
           occurring as a result of (i) a breach by the Indemnitor of any
           representation, warranty, or covenant under this Agreement; (ii)
           where Caliper is the Indemnitor, the infringement of a third party's
           IP as a result of the purchase or use of any Product or deliverable
           provided by Caliper or its Affiliate or designee; or (iii) the
           negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitor, its Affiliates,
           or its designees that perform services hereunder.

    11.2.  PROCEDURE. If a party intends to claim indemnification under this
           Section 11, it shall promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing of any
           claim, action, or proceeding (each an "Action") in respect of which
           an Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the
           Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense and/or settlement
           thereof; provided that the Indemnitee shall have the right to
           participate, at its own expense, with counsel of its own choosing in
           the defense and/or settlement of such Action. The indemnification
           under this Article 11 shall not apply to amounts paid with respect to
           settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the
           consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably
           withheld or delayed. The failure to deliver written notice to the
           Indemnitor within a reasonable period of time after the commencement
           of any Action, if prejudicial to the Indemnitor's ability to defend
           such Action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to the
           Indemnitee under this Article 11 with respect to such Action, but the
           omission to so deliver written notice to the Indemnitor shall not
           relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to any Indemnitee otherwise
           than under this Article 11. Without limiting the foregoing, the
           Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed of the
           progress of any Action for

           which the Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification under this
           Article 11. The Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any costs or
           expenses incurred by an Indemnitee without the Indemnitor's prior
           written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
           delayed.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION

    12.1.  TERM. The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall begin on the
           Effective Date and end at the end of the Exclusivity Period as
           defined in the Intellectual Property Agreement, unless extended or
           earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 12 or modified by mutual
           written agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 14.5.

    12.2.  TERMINATION BY EITHER PARTY. This Agreement may be terminated prior
           to the expiration of the Term only in accordance with one of the
           following paragraphs:

           12.2.1. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice
                 to the other party in the event of a material breach of this
                 Agreement by such other party; provided, however, that prior to
                 any such termination, the terminating party shall have provided
                 the other party with written notice of the circumstances
                 constituting such breach and such other party shall have failed
                 to cure such breach within a period of ninety (90) days
                 thereafter. The foregoing shall not limit a party's right to
                 seek any other remedies available to it, such as monetary
                 damages and specific performance, without termination of this
                 Agreement.

           12.2.2. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon
                 written notice to the other party if the other party is
                 dissolved.

    12.3.  SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. No expiration or termination of this Agreement
           shall relieve either party of any obligation accruing prior to such
           expiration or termination. With respect to Article 6 and Section 7.5,
           the rights granted therein shall survive, subject to the related
           terms and conditions in such sections, only with respect to Amphora
           Developed Products and New Lab-on-a-Chip Products for which
           development was initiated during the Term. The provisions of Sections
           3.9, 3.10, 4.5.1, 4.5.4, 8.1, 8.3, 10.4, and Articles 11, 12, 13 and
           14, and the reconciliation and reimbursement obligations in Section
           4.5.2 together with any provisions required for their interpretation
           or enforcement, shall survive the expiration or termination of this
           Agreement.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    13.1.  ESCALATION. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute between
           them arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, either
           party may, by written notice to the other, have such dispute referred
           for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations between an
           executive of Caliper and an executive of Amphora (each at the vice
           president level or higher). Such negotiations shall commence within
           thirty (30) days after such notice is received by the other party,
           but neither party shall be obligated to negotiate for more than
           ninety (90) days. If the parties should resolve such dispute or
           claim, a memorandum setting forth their agreement will be prepared
           and signed by both parties if requested by either Party.

    13.2.  ARBITRATION. Caliper and Amphora agree that any dispute arising out
           of or related to this Agreement, or the validity, enforceability,
           construction, performance or breach hereof, which is not settled by
           the parties in accordance with Section 13.1 shall be settled by
           binding arbitration under the then current rules of the American
           Arbitration Association. The venue of such arbitration shall be Santa
           Clara county, CA. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of
           three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with such rules. Unless
           the decision involves the termination of or otherwise prejudices any
           rights of Amphora arising out of this Agreement, the decision and/or
           award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be written, final and
           non-appealable and may be entered in any court of competent
           jurisdiction. The parties agree that, any provision of applicable law
           notwithstanding, they will not request, and the arbitrator shall have
           no authority to award, punitive or exemplary damages against any
           party. The costs of any arbitration proceedings, including
           administrative fees and fees of the arbitrator(s), shall be shared
           equally by the parties. Each party shall bear the cost of its own
           attorneys' and expert fees.

14. MISCELLANEOUS

    14.1   ASSIGNMENT IN BANKRUPTCY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
           each party (the "First Party") hereby consents to the assumption of
           this Agreement by the other party (the "Second Party") in any case
           under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code to the extent
           that such consent is required under 11 U.S.C. Section 365(c)(1), but
           only if the Second Party is otherwise entitled to assume this
           Agreement under the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code. The sole
           purpose of the foregoing consent is to overcome any restriction
           imposed by 11 U.S.C. Section 365(c)(1) on the Second Party's
           assumption of this Agreement in a chapter 11 case concerning the
           Second Party. It is not intended to limit any other rights of the
           First Party under this Agreement or any provision of the Bankruptcy
           Code, including, without limitation, 11 U.S.C. Section 365(c)(1). The
           foregoing consent applies only to the assumption of the Agreement by
           the Second Party and does not apply to the Second Party's assignment

                                    EXHIBIT A
                                 PURCHASE TERMS

1. SOLUTIONS AGREEMENT. These Purchase Terms are hereby incorporated into and
shall be considered a part of this Agreement. All purchases by Amphora of
Products that are listed in Exhibit B of this Agreement ("Existing Products")
shall be subject only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including
these Purchase Terms.

2. DELIVERY. Unless otherwise specified in writing by Amphora, shipments shall
be F.O.B. place of shipment. Caliper shall ship all Existing Products prepaid,
properly insured. Title of Existing Products shipped and risk of loss or damage
shall pass from Caliper to Amphora upon Caliper's delivery of Existing Products
to the common carrier specified by Amphora or reasonably chosen by Caliper, if
not specified by Amphora. Caliper shall preserve, package, handle, and pack the
Existing Products so as to protect the Existing Products from loss or damage, in
conformance with good commercial practices, Amphora specifications (if any),
government regulations, and other applicable standards. Caliper shall be
responsible for any loss or damage due to its failure to properly preserve,
package, or handle the Existing Products. Each Existing Product delivered to
Amphora shall include a packing list which contains at least an Amphora Purchase
Order Number, Caliper's part number and description, quantity of Existing
Products shipped, and date of shipment. The purchase price for Existing Products
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. All applicable taxes, freight,
packaging, insurance, handling and other charges will be added to and separately
itemized in the invoice.

3. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Amphora will use the Existing Product(s) purchased
hereunder in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

4. RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION. Caliper warrants the Warranty Products (as
defined below) to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the
duration of the Warranty Period (as defined below). If any Warranty Product is
found to have such a defect, Amphora or its designee shall have the right to
return the Warranty Product to Caliper during the following timeframes: for
Warranty Products other than Instrument Systems, at any time during the Warranty
Period, and for Warranty Products that are Instrument Systems, prior to the
earlier of (i) fifteen (15) days after receipt, or (ii) installation. Upon
return of a Warranty Product by Amphora pursuant to the foregoing sentence,
Caliper shall provide a replacement, credit or refund, at Amphora's option,
provided that a refund or credit shall not be available for Instruments Systems.
Subject to the following, any Warranty Product returned to Caliper shall be
accompanied by a Return Material Authorization (RMA). Unless further
verification is reasonably required by Caliper, Caliper shall issue an RMA
within three (3) business days of Amphora's request for return of a noncomplying
Warranty Product. If further verification is so required or if Caliper would
like to attempt to repair the Warranty Product, Caliper may come to Amphora's
facility for such purposes provided that, if desired by Amphora, an RMA shall be
supplied by Caliper to Amphora within ten (10) business days of Amphora's
request for return of the noncomplying Warranty Product if Caliper has failed to
repair

the Warranty Product or establish that the Warranty Product is not defective, by
such time. If Caliper fails to provide the RMA, and the Warranty Product has not
been repaired within the foregoing timeframes, Amphora shall have the right to
return the Warranty Product without an RMA. Amphora shall additionally have the
right, at its sole option and Caliper's sole cost, to require Caliper to repair
the nonconforming Warranty Product pursuant to the terms of Section 6 below.
Caliper shall bear the freight and insurance charges of any Warranty Product
returned by Amphora under this Section, if properly rejected by Amphora.

5. CHIP AND INSTRUMENT WARRANTIES. Caliper warrants that, (i) with respect to
Existing Products that are Instrument Systems, for a period until the earlier of
one year from the completion of installation testing or fifteen (15) months from
the date of delivery in good condition to Amphora in accordance with this
Agreement, and (ii) with respect to Existing Products that are Chips, for a
period until three (3) months from the date of delivery in good condition of a
Chip to Amphora in accordance with this Agreement (each, a "Warranty Period"),
the Existing Products that are Instrument System(s) or Chips (each, a "Warranty
Product") purchased by Amphora hereunder will be free from defects in material
and workmanship, and will perform in accordance with Specifications. If the
Warranty Product fails to comply with the warranty in this Section 5 during the
Warranty Period and the Warranty Product has not been returned pursuant to
Section 4, Caliper will (i) for Warranty Products that are Instrument Systems,
repair or replace them, at Caliper's option and at Caliper's expense, within the
time frames set forth in Section 6 below, and (ii) for Warranty Products that
are Chips, Caliper will replace them upon completion of its review of the
warranty claim as contemplated in Section 4.2.2.3 of this Agreement, but in no
event later than thirty (30) days after the claim has been submitted by Amphora,
provided that Caliper shall make commercially reasonable efforts to replace
defective Chips prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period. If the Warranty
Product has been returned pursuant to Section 4, the remedy shall be as set
forth therein. If the Warranty Product becomes damaged, or the performance of
the Warranty Product otherwise deteriorates due to solvents and/or reagents
other than those supplied or expressly recommended by Caliper or otherwise
materially similar to those supplied or expressly recommended by Caliper,
Caliper will repair or replace the Warranty Product, at Amphora's option and at
Amphora's expense. No such repairs or replacement will extend the original
Warranty Period. This Warranty does not apply to any Warranty Product or part
which has been (a) the subject of an accident, misuse, or neglect after shipment
to Amphora in accordance with this Agreement, (b) modified or improperly
repaired by a party other than Caliper or its authorized representative, or (c)
used in a manner which is not in accordance with the instructions contained in
the Warranty Product User's Manual; provided that such use is not a reasonably
contemplated use of the Warranty Product. This warranty does not cover
Amphora-installed accessories or Amphora-installed consumable parts for the
Warranty Product that are listed in the Warranty Product User's manual; provided
that such accessories and consumables are not themselves Warranty Products. All
claims under Caliper's warranty must be made within thirty (30) days of
Amphora's discovery of the defect. Except for Caliper's right to obtain a credit
or refund as provided under Section 4, Caliper's obligations under this warranty
are limited to repair or replacement as necessary to

correct those defects in material and/or workmanship or failures of the Warranty
Product to meet the Specifications of which Caliper is notified within thirty
(30) days after the expiration of the Warranty Period. All repairs and
replacements performed by Caliper under this warranty will be performed by
Caliper at Caliper's sole expense, it being acknowledged that proper repairs and
maintenance by Amphora will not void the warranty. Except pursuant to written
terms signed by an officer of Caliper, no agent, employee, or representative of
Caliper has any authority to bind Caliper to any affirmation, representation, or
warranty concerning the Warranty Product that is not contained in Caliper's
printed product literature or the Specifications. Any such affirmation,
representation, or warranty made by any agent, employee, or representative of
Caliper not pursuant to written terms signed by an officer of Caliper will not
be binding on Caliper. Caliper makes no warranty whatsoever with regard to
products or parts furnished by third parties, unless such product or part is
provided by Caliper as part of a Warranty Product. This warranty is limited to
the original location of installation and is not transferable, except that (a)
this warranty shall apply in Mountain View and North Carolina to the initial
Instrument Systems purchase that will be first installed in Mountain View and
then transferred to North Carolina and (b) this warranty shall apply
notwithstanding any transfer made by Caliper or by Amphora's representatives
that have been certified as having received the appropriate training from
Caliper, which training and certification Caliper shall make reasonably
available to Amphora pursuant to the terms of Article 3 of this Agreement. This
warranty is the sole and exclusive warranty as to the Instrument System and is
in lieu of any other express or implied warranties, including, without
limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose and is in lieu of any other obligation on the part of Caliper. THIS
PARAGRAPH STATES AMPHORA'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY. IN
NO EVENT SHALL CALIPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, BY AMPHORA OF
THE PRODUCT(S) EXCEPT THAT CALIPER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PERFORM ITS
RESPONSIBILITIES SET FORTH IN THESE PURCHASE TERMS; NOR SHALL CALIPER BE LIABLE
FOR ANY PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING
FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH ITS ACTIVITIES UNDER THESE PURCHASE TERMS, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES FOR LATE DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCT(S), EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN
THE SOLUTIONS AGREEMENT.

6. INSTRUMENT REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. Caliper shall respond to Amphora's initial
call for service for an Instrument System with a telephone call to Amphora by a
qualified Caliper technical service representative within four (4) of Caliper's
normal business hours after Amphora's call. Caliper shall have a qualified
Caliper technical service representative at Amphora's site, if Amphora is
experiencing a warranty or maintenance issue with an Instrument System, within
seventy-two (72) hours of Amphora's request for warranty or maintenance services
on an Instrument System, subject to any force majeure event as set forth in this
Agreement. Upon arrival, the service representative shall work diligently toward
resolution of the warranty or maintenance issue. Caliper shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to repair an Instrument System within five (5) business days
of Amphora's request for warranty or maintenance services, it being acknowledged
that what constitutes reasonable efforts will take into account any force
majeure event or extraordinary damage. If not corrected within such time period,
Caliper will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the
problem as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Existing Product is under
warranty, Caliper shall install a replacement product within forty-five (45)
days after Amphora's request for warranty services if the defect has not been
remedied by such time. The foregoing warranty repairs shall be at no charge to
Amphora during the Warranty Period. Caliper shall provide to Amphora any
additional support services for the applicable Existing Products that Caliper
provides generally to its customers upon the terms generally provided to its
customers. The Warranty Period for any Warranty Product replaced under this
warranty shall begin upon the installation or delivery in good condition of the
replaced Warranty Product, as provided in Section 5.
