2002, between ViroLogic, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the
State of Delaware (the "COMPANY"), and each of the purchasers (individually, a

hereof (the "EXECUTION PAGES, and each an "EXECUTION PAGE").

      WHEREAS:

      A.    The Company and each Purchaser are executing and delivering this

2.    PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Purchaser severally, but
not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

      (a)   Purchase for Own Account, Etc.. Such Purchaser is purchasing the
Units for such Purchaser's own account and not with a present view towards the
public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales that are exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered
under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear
the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the Securities are
registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or
blue sky laws or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the
Company has no present intention of registering the resale of any such
Securities other than as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(a) to the contrary, by making the
representations herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for
any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the
Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption from the registration requirements under the
Securities Act.

      (b)   Accredited Investor Status. Such Purchaser is an "ACCREDITED
INVESTOR" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act; the Purchaser is also knowledgeable, sophisticated and
experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to,
investments in shares presenting an investment decision like that involved in
the purchase of the Units, including investments in securities issued by the
Company and investments in comparable companies; and the Purchaser has
requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deems relevant
in making an informed decision to purchase the Units.

<PAGE>

      (c)   Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Units
are being offered and sold to such Purchaser in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of,
and such Purchaser's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth
herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the
eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

      (d)   Information. Such Purchaser and its counsel, if any, have been
furnished all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the
Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which
have been specifically requested by such Purchaser or its counsel. Such
Purchaser and its counsel have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
the Company and have received what such Purchaser believes to be satisfactory
answers to any such inquiries. Neither such inquiries nor any other
investigation conducted by such Purchaser or its counsel or any of its
representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser's right to rely on
the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. Such
Purchaser understands that such Purchaser's investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk.

      (e)   Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

      (f)   Transfer or Resale. Such Purchaser understands that (i) except as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the sale or resale of the
Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless
(a) the transfer is made pursuant to and as set forth in an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Securities; or (b)
such Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which
opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel
in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Securities to be sold or
transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such
registration; or (c) sold under and in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) ("RULE 144"); or (d) sold or
transferred in accordance with applicable securities laws to an affiliate of
such Purchaser who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(f) and who is an Accredited
Investor; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws (other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement).
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary,
the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide
margin account or other lending arrangement, provided such pledge is consistent
with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

      (g)   Legends. Such Purchaser understands that the certificates for the
Preferred Shares, Warrants and, until such time as the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act (including
registration pursuant to Rule 416 thereunder) as contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold by such Purchaser

<PAGE>

under Rule 144(k), the certificates for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

            The securities represented by this certificate have not been
            registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
            securities laws of any state of the United States or in any other
            jurisdiction. The securities represented hereby may not be offered,
            sold or transferred in the absence of an effective registration
            statement for the securities under applicable securities laws unless
            offered, sold or transferred pursuant to an available exemption from
            the registration requirements of those laws.

      The Company agrees that at any time the Registration Statement is
effective, and assuming compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Certificate of Designation or the Warrant, as applicable, the Company shall
instruct its transfer agent to issue (and provide such transfer agent with any
additional documentation that may be necessary to cause the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares to be issued without the restrictive legend above), in
connection with the issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares,
certificates representing such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares without the
restrictive legend above, provided such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are
to be sold pursuant to the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement.
The parties acknowledge that the Company has certain rights with respect to
transfers of the Securities as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreements.

      The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is
stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (a) the sale of
such Security is registered under the Securities Act (including registration
pursuant to Rule 416 thereunder) as contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Security is sold pursuant to and as set forth in such
Registration Statement and in the Securities Act; (b) such holder provides the
Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale
or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the
Securities Act; or (c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable
assurances that such Security can be sold under Rule 144. In the event the above
legend is removed from any Security and thereafter the effectiveness of a
registration statement covering such Security is suspended or the Company
determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable
securities laws, then upon reasonable advance written notice to such Purchaser
the Company may require that the above legend be placed on any such Security
that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or
under Rule 144 and such Purchaser shall cooperate in the replacement of such
legend. Such legend shall thereafter be removed when such Security may again be
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144.

      (h)   Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered
on behalf of such Purchaser and are valid and binding agreements of such
Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms.

<PAGE>

      (i)   Residency. Such Purchaser is a resident of the jurisdiction set
forth under such Purchaser's name on the Execution Page hereto executed by such
Purchaser.

      (j)   No Short Sales. Neither such Purchaser nor any of its affiliates (as
that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) has, directly or
indirectly, engaged in any short sale of, had in effect a short position in
(whether such short sale or position was against the box and regardless of when
such position was entered into), or granted any rights with respect to the
Common Stock, at any time during the six month period immediately prior to the
Closing Date.

      The Purchasers' representations and warranties made in this Article 2 are
made solely for the purpose of permitting the Company to make a determination
that the offer and sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants pursuant to this
Agreement complies with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and
not for any other purpose. Accordingly, the Company should not rely on such
representations and warranties for any other purpose.

3.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. Except as set forth on a
Schedule of Exceptions executed and delivered by the Company to the Purchasers
at Closing, the Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser as follows:

      (a)   Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of its
subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, and has the requisite
corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary and where the failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse
Effect. "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" means any material adverse effect on (i) the
Securities, (ii) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder
or under the Certificate of Designation, the Warrants or the Registration Rights
Agreement or (iii) the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial
condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

      (b)   Authorization; Enforcement. (i) The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement, to issue and
sell the Units in accordance with the terms hereof, to issue the Conversion
Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of
the Certificate of Designation and to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of
the Warrants in accordance with the terms of such Warrants; (ii) the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration
Rights Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of
the Preferred Shares and Warrants and the issuance and reservation for issuance
of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) have been duly authorized by the
Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the
Company, its Board of Directors, or any committee of the Board of Directors is
required, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes, and, upon execution and delivery
by the Company of the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement, such
agreements will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

<PAGE>

      (c)   Stockholder Authorization. Neither the execution, delivery or
performance by the Company of this Agreement, the Warrants or the Registration
Rights Agreement nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Preferred
Shares or Warrants or the issuance or reservation for issuance of the Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares) requires any consent or authorization of the Company's
stockholders.

      (d)   Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company as of the date
hereof, including the authorized capital stock, the number of shares issued and
outstanding, the number of shares issuable and reserved for issuance pursuant to
the Company's stock option plans, the number of shares issuable and reserved for
issuance pursuant to securities (other than the Preferred Shares and Warrants)
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, any shares of capital
stock and the number of shares to be reserved for issuance upon conversion of
the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants is set forth on Schedule 3(d).
All of such outstanding shares of capital stock have been, or upon issuance in
accordance with the terms of any such warrants, options or preferred stock, will
be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of
the Company (including the Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares) are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of
the stockholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances. Except for the
Securities and as set forth on Schedule 3(d), as of the date of this Agreement,
(i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to,
calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or
rights convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of
capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or arrangements by
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue
additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
nor are any such issuances or arrangements contemplated, and (ii) there are no
agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
obligated to register the sale of any of its or their securities under the
Securities Act (except the Registration Rights Agreements). Schedule 3(d) sets
forth all of the Company issued securities or instruments containing
antidilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by, and all of the
resulting adjustments that will be made to such securities and instruments as a
result of, the issuance of the Securities in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or the Warrants. The Company has
furnished to the Purchasers true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof ("CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION"), the Company's By-laws as in effect on the date hereof (the
"BY-LAWS"), and all other instruments and agreements governing securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital stock of the
Company. The Certificate of Designation, in the form attached hereto, will be
duly filed prior to Closing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
and, upon the issuance of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof, each Purchaser shall be entitled to the rights set forth therein.

      (e)   Issuance of Shares. The Preferred Shares are duly authorized and,
upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, claims
and encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer contained in this
Agreement and in the Registration Rights Agreements) and will not be subject to
preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of
stockholders of the Company and will not impose personal liability on the
holders thereof. The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are duly authorized
and reserved for issuance, and, upon conversion of the

<PAGE>

Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms
thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from
all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer
contained in this Agreement and in the Registration Rights Agreements) and will
not be subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar
rights of stockholders of the Company and will not impose personal liability
upon the holder thereof.

      (f)   No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company,
the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Certificate of
Designation, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and
reservation for issuance, as applicable, of the Preferred Shares, Warrants,
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment
(including, without limitation, the triggering of any anti-dilution provisions),
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or result in a violation of
any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including United States
federal and state securities laws and regulations and rules or regulations of
any self-regulatory organizations to which either the Company or its securities
are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which
any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or
affected (except, with respect to clause (ii), for such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its Certificate of
Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents and neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would put the Company or any of its
subsidiaries in default) under, nor has there occurred any event giving others
(with notice or lapse of time or both) any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, except for actual or possible
violations, defaults or rights that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. The businesses of the Company and its
subsidiaries are not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as a
Purchaser owns any of the Preferred Shares, in violation of any law, ordinance
or regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations the
sanctions for which either singly or in the aggregate would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is not required to obtain any
consent, approval, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration
with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self regulatory
agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement, the Warrants or the Registration Rights Agreement or to
perform its obligations under the Certificate of Designation, in each case in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. The Company is not in violation of
the listing requirements of the Nasdaq National Market ("NNM") and has received
no notice regarding the potential delisting of the Common Stock by the NNM.

      (g)   SEC Documents, Financial Statements. Since December 31, 2000, the
Company has timely filed (within applicable extension periods) all reports,
schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with
the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") (all of the foregoing filed prior to the
date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and
schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being
hereinafter referred to herein as the "SEC DOCUMENTS"). The Company has
delivered to each Purchaser true and complete copies of the SEC Documents. To
the extent that any SEC Document is available under the SEC's EDGAR filing
system prior to the date hereof, such SEC Document shall be deemed to have been
delivered to each of the Purchasers. As of their respective dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents,
and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has
been, required to be amended or updated under applicable law (except for such
statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings made prior to
the date hereof). As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC applicable with respect thereto. Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), consistently applied, during the periods
involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements
or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to
the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary
statements) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the
dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows
for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to
immaterial year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial
statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents filed prior to the date
hereof, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i)
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date
of such financial statements and (ii) obligations under contracts and
commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under
GAAP to be reflected in such financial statements, which liabilities and
obligations referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), individually or in the
aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of
the Company.

      (h)   Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2000, there has been
no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business,
properties, operations, prospects, financial condition or results of operations
of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as disclosed in
the SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof.

      (i)   Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents
filed prior to the date hereof, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency,
self-regulatory organization or body, including, without

<PAGE>

limitation, the SEC or NASDAQ, pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, any of its
subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors or officers in their
capacities as such. There are no facts which, if known by a potential claimant
or governmental authority, could give rise to a claim or proceeding which, if
asserted or conducted with results unfavorable to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      (j)   Intellectual Property. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries owns
or is licensed to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, trade names, service marks, copyrights, copyright applications,
licenses, permits, inventions, discoveries, processes, scientific, technical,
engineering and marketing data, object and source codes, know-how (including
trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or
confidential information, systems or procedures) and other similar rights and
proprietary knowledge (collectively, "INTANGIBLES") necessary for the conduct of
its business as now being conducted. To the best knowledge of the Company,
neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company infringes or is in
conflict with any right of any other person with respect to any Intangibles.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3(j), neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has received written notice of any pending conflict with or
infringement upon such third party Intangibles. Except as set forth on Schedule
3(j), the termination of the Company's ownership of, or right to use, any single
Intangible would not result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered into any consent agreement,
indemnification agreement, forbearance to sue or settlement agreement with
respect to the validity of the Company's or its subsidiaries' ownership or right
to use its Intangibles and, to the best knowledge of the Company, there is no
reasonable basis for any such claim to be successful. The Intangibles are valid
and enforceable and no registration relating thereto has lapsed, expired or been
abandoned or canceled or is the subject of cancellation or other adversarial
proceedings, and all applications therefor are pending and in good standing. The
Company and its subsidiaries have complied, in all material respects, with their
respective contractual obligations relating to the protection of the Intangibles
used pursuant to licenses. To the best knowledge of the Company, no person is
infringing on or violating the Intangibles owned or used by the Company or its
subsidiaries.

      (k)   Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its
subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting
on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary has, in the course of his actions
for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful
contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to
political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign
or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is
in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977;
or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful
payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

      (l)   Disclosure. All information relating to or concerning the Company
set forth in this Agreement or provided to any Purchaser pursuant to Section
2(d) hereof or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the

<PAGE>

statements made herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.

      (m)   Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers' Purchase of the Units. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that none of the Purchasers is acting as a
financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with
respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the
relationship between the Company and the Purchasers is "arms-length" and any
statement made by any Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is
merely incidental to such Purchaser's purchase of Securities and has not been
relied upon by the Company, its officers or directors in any way. The Company
further acknowledges that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement
has been based solely on an independent evaluation by the Company and its
representatives.

      (n)   Listing. The Company has secured the listing of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated
quotation system upon which shares of Common Stock are currently listed (subject
to official notice of issuance).

      (o)   Form S-3 Eligibility. The Company is currently eligible to register
the resale of its Common Stock on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the
Securities Act. There exist no facts or circumstances that would prohibit or
delay the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 with
respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement). The Company has no basis to believe that its past or present
independent public auditors will withhold their consent to the inclusion, or
incorporation by reference, of their audit opinion concerning the Company's
financial statements which are included in the Registration Statement required
to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

      (p)   No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any distributor
participating on the Company's behalf in the transactions contemplated hereby
(if any) nor any person acting for the Company, or any such distributor, has
conducted any "general solicitation," as such term is defined in Regulation D,
with respect to any of the Securities being offered hereby.

      (q)   No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would require registration of the
Securities being offered hereby under the Securities Act or cause this offering
of Securities to be integrated with any prior offering of securities of the
Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder
approval provisions, including, without limitation, Rule 4350(i) of the NASD or
any similar rule.

      (r)   No Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to
any claim by any person (including CIBC World Markets and UBS Warburg, both of
whom have had financial advisory relationships with the Company) for brokerage
commissions or finder's fees or for similar payments by any Purchaser relating
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

<PAGE>

      (s)   Acknowledgment Regarding Securities. The number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares may increase in certain
circumstances. The Company's executive officers have studied and fully
understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereunder. The Company
acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of
the Preferred Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designation is, other
than as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, absolute and unconditional,
regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other stockholders and the availability of remedies provided for in
the Transaction Documents relating to a failure or refusal to issue Conversion
Shares. Taking the foregoing into account, the Company's Board of Directors has
determined in its good faith business judgment that the issuance of the
Preferred Shares and Warrants hereunder and the consummation of the other
transactions contemplated hereby are in the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders. The Company's Board of Directors and executive officers fully
intend to honor their obligations hereunder to issue Conversion Shares upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares regardless of the dilution that such issuance
may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders and the availability
of remedies provided for in the Transaction Documents relating to their failure
or refusal to issue Conversion Shares.

      (t)   Title. The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property and good and merchantable title to all
personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company
and its subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and
do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such
property by the Company and its subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities
held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under
valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not
material and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property and buildings by the Company and its subsidiaries.

      (u)   Tax Status. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company
and each of its subsidiaries has made or filed all foreign, U.S. federal, state
and local income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by
any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the
Company and each of its subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material
in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on
its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no
basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to
any statute of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any
federal, state or local tax. None of the Company's tax returns is presently
being audited by any taxing authority.

      (v)   Key Employees. Each of the Company's directors, officers and any Key
Employee (as defined below) is currently serving the Company in the capacity
disclosed in the SEC Documents. No Key Employee, to the best of the knowledge of
the Company and its subsidiaries, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of
any material term of any employment

<PAGE>

contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement,
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant, and the continued employment of each Key Employee does not subject the
Company or any of its subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the
foregoing matters. No Key Employee has, to the knowledge of the Company and its
subsidiaries, any intention to terminate or limit his employment with, or
services to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of
the Company, is any such Key Employee subject to any constraints which would
cause such employee to be unable to devote his full time and attention to such
employment or services. "KEY EMPLOYEE" means the persons listed on Schedule 3(v)
and any individual who assumes or performs any of the duties of a Key Employee.

      (w)   Insurance. The Company and its subsidiaries have in force fire,
casualty, product liability and other insurance policies, with extended coverage
and in such amounts as are customarily carried by persons engaged in the same or
similar business as the Company and its subsidiaries. No default or event has
occurred that could give rise to a default under any such policy.

      (x)   Environmental Matters. There is no environmental litigation or other
environmental proceeding pending or threatened by any governmental regulatory
authority or others with respect to the current or any former business of the
Company or its subsidiaries or any partnership or joint venture currently or at
any time affiliated with the Company or its subsidiaries. No state of facts
exists as to environmental matters or Hazardous Substances (as defined below)
that involves the reasonable likelihood of a material capital expenditure by the
Company or its subsidiaries or that may otherwise have a Material Adverse
Effect. No Hazardous Substances have been treated, stored or disposed of, or
otherwise deposited, in or on the properties owned or leased by the Company or
its subsidiaries or by any partnership or joint venture currently or at any time
affiliated with the Company or its subsidiaries in violation of any applicable
environmental laws. The environmental compliance programs of the Company and its
subsidiaries comply in all respects with all environmental laws, whether
federal, state or local, currently in effect. As used herein, "HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES" means any substance, waste, contaminant, pollutant or material that
has been determined by any governmental authority to be capable of posing a risk
of injury to health, safety, property or the environment.

      (y)   Inventory. All inventory of the Company and its subsidiaries is
valued on the Company's consolidated books and records at the lower of standard
cost, which approximates actual cost, or the fair market value thereof. Except,
to the extent of the Company's reserves for obsolete or unmerchantable inventory
reflected in the Company's SEC Documents, all such inventory, after
consideration of reserves consisting of finished goods is of merchantable
quality and is saleable in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice.

      (z)   Regulatory Permits. The Company and its subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state or foreign regulatory authorities which are material to conduct its
business, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any
written notice of any proceeding relating to the revocation or modification of
any such certificate, authorization or permit.

before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably
determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to each Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the
states of the United States or obtain exemption therefrom, and shall provide
evidence of any such action so taken to each Purchaser on or prior to the

the Securities, the Company shall timely file (within applicable extension
periods) all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange
Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to
file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would permit such termination. In addition, the Company
shall take all actions reasonably necessary to meet the "registrant eligibility"
requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form S-3 or any successor
form thereto, to continue to be eligible to register the resale of its Common
Stock on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act.

      (d)   Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of
the Preferred Shares and Warrants for general corporate purposes and working
capital and such proceeds shall not be used to repay indebtedness (other than
indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business), make acquisitions, or
make payments to stockholders or affiliates of the Company. Subject to the use
of proceeds as outlined above, the Company will invest the proceeds (i) in
evidences of indebtedness issued or fully guaranteed by the United States of
America and having a maturity of not more than one year from the date of
acquisition; (ii) in certificates of deposit, notes, acceptances and repurchase

investments consist principally of the types of investments described in clauses
(i), (ii), or (iii) above.

      (e)   Participation Right. Subject to the terms and conditions specified
in this Section 4(e), for a period of one year after the date that the
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the
Company is required to file pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights
Agreement is declared effective, the Purchasers shall have a right to
participate with respect to the issuance or possible issuance of (i) future
equity or equity-linked

<PAGE>

securities, or (ii) debt which is convertible into equity or in which there is
an equity component ("ADDITIONAL SECURITIES") on the same terms and conditions
as offered by the Company to the other purchasers of such Additional Securities.
Each time the Company proposes to offer any Additional Securities, the Company
shall make an offering of such Additional Securities to each Purchaser in
accordance with the following provisions:

            (i)   the Company shall deliver a notice (the "NOTICE") to the
Purchasers stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Additional
Securities, (ii) the number of such Additional Securities to be offered, (iii)
the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Additional
Securities, and (iv) the anticipated closing date of the sale of such Additional
Securities.

            (ii)  by written notification received by the Company, within twenty
(20) days after giving of the Notice, any Purchaser may elect to purchase or
obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that
portion of such Additional Securities which equals the proportion that the
number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to the
terms hereof bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding (assuming in each case full conversion and exercise of all
convertible or exercisable securities then outstanding). The Company shall
promptly, in writing, inform each Purchaser which elects to purchase all of the
Additional Shares available to it ("FULLY-EXERCISING PURCHASER") of any other
Purchaser's failure to do likewise. During the five-day period commencing after
such information is given, each Fully-Exercising Purchaser shall be entitled to
obtain that portion of the Additional Securities for which the Purchasers were
entitled to subscribe but which were not subscribed for by the Purchasers which
is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock held by
such Fully-Exercising Purchaser bears to the total number of shares of Common
Stock held by all Fully-Exercising Purchasers who wish to purchase some of the
unsubscribed shares;

            (iii) if all Additional Securities which the Purchasers are entitled
to obtain pursuant to subsection 4(e)(ii) are not elected to be obtained as
provided in subsection 4(e)(ii) hereof, the Company may, during the 75-day
period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 4(e)(ii)
hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Additional Securities
to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more
favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Notice. If the Company
does not consummate the sale of such Additional Securities within such period,
the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Additional
Securities shall not be offered or sold unless first reoffered to the Purchasers
in accordance herewith;

            (iv)  the participation right in this Section 4(e) shall not be
applicable to (i) the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options
therefor) to employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company for
the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their employment or service
pursuant to a stock option plan (or similar equity incentive plan) approved by
the Board of Directors, (ii) the issuance of securities in connection with a
bona fide underwritten public offering at an offering price per share (prior to
underwriter's commissions and discounts) of not less than $4.56 per share (as
adjusted to reflect any stock dividends, distributions, combinations,
reclassifications and other similar transactions effected by the Corporation in
respect to its Common Stock) that results in total proceeds to the Company of at

<PAGE>

least $40,000,000, (iii) the issuance or sale of the Preferred Shares, (iv) the
issuance of securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, strategic
business partnerships or joint ventures (including, without limitation, such
transactions with major pharmaceutical labs or life sciences companies), the
primary purpose of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors,
is not to raise additional capital, (v) the issuance of securities pursuant to
any equipment financing from a bank or similar financial or lending institution
approved by the Board of Directors, or (vi) any issuance of securities as to
which the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Preferred Shares shall
have executed a written waiver of the rights contained in this Section 4(e).

            (v)   the participation right set forth in this Section 4(e) may not
be assigned or transferred, except that such right is assignable by each
Purchaser to any wholly-owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation or
entity that is, within the meaning of the Securities Act, controlling,
controlled by or under common control with, any such Purchaser.

      (f)   Expenses. The Company shall pay to SDS Capital Partners ("SDS
CAPITAL") at the Closing, reimbursement for the out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably incurred by SDS Capital's advisors in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
agreements to be executed in connection herewith, including, without limitation,
SDS Capital's advisors' reasonable due diligence and attorneys' fees and
expenses (the "EXPENSES"); provided, however, that in lieu of such payment SDS
Capital (or its affiliates) shall be permitted to deduct all Expenses from the
purchase price payable by SDS Capital (or its affiliates) hereunder. In
addition, from time to time thereafter, upon SDS Capital's written request, the
Company shall pay to SDS Capital such additional Expenses, if any, not covered
by such payment, in each case to the extent reasonably incurred by SDS Capital's
agents prior to the Closing in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
execution and delivery of this Agreement.

connection therewith and in each case to the extent required by the Certificate
of Designation and the Warrants.

      (i)   Listing. The Company shall have filed an application for the listing
of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares on the NNM on or before the
Closing. From the time that such application has been approved and thereafter,

affiliates) own any Securities, the listing of all Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and

<PAGE>

exercise of the Warrants on each national securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which shares of Common Stock are currently listed. The
Company will use its best efforts to continue the listing and trading of its
Common Stock on the NNM, the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), the American
Stock Exchange ("AMEX") or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (the "SMALLCAP") and will
comply in all material respects with the reporting, filing and other obligations
under the bylaws or rules of the NASD and such exchanges, as applicable. The
Company shall promptly provide to each holder of Preferred Shares and/or
Warrants copies of any notices it receives regarding the continued eligibility
of the Common Stock for trading on the NNM or, if applicable, any securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which securities of the same class or
series issued by the Company are then listed or quoted, if any.

      (j)   Corporate Existence. So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any
Securities, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence, and in the event
of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, the Company shall ensure that the surviving or successor entity in such
transaction (i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under the
Certificate of Designation, the Warrants and the agreements and instruments
entered into in connection herewith regardless of whether or not the Company
would have had a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and
available for issuance in order to effect the conversion of all Preferred Shares
and exercise in full of all Warrants outstanding as of the date of such
transaction and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is
listed for trading on the NNM, SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will not engage in any
merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets at any
time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement required to be
filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement without (A) providing each
Purchaser with written notice of such transaction at least 60 days prior to the
consummation of such transaction and (B) obtaining the written consent of the
Purchasers holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Preferred
Shares on or before the 10th day after the delivery of such notice by the
Company.

      (k)   No Integrated Offerings. The Company shall not make any offers or
sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would
require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the
Securities Act or cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with
any other offering of securities by the Company for purposes of any stockholder
approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.

      (l)   Legal Compliance. The Company shall conduct its business and the
business of its subsidiaries in compliance with all laws, ordinances or
regulations of governmental entities applicable to such businesses, except where
the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

      (m)   Redemptions and Dividends. So long as any Purchaser beneficially
owns any Preferred Shares, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the
written approval of such Purchaser, repurchase, redeem, or declare or pay any
cash dividend or distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the Company.

      (n)   Information. The Company will furnish to each Purchaser, so long as
it holds any Preferred Shares:

reports on Form 10-K, a certificate of the President, a Vice President or a
senior financial officer of the Company stating that, based upon such
examination or investigation and review of this Agreement as in the opinion of
the signer is necessary to enable the signer to express an informed opinion with
respect thereto, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is or has
during such period been in default in the performance or observance of any of
the terms, covenants or conditions hereof, or, if the Company or any of its
subsidiaries shall be or shall have been in default, specifying all such
defaults, and the nature and period of existence thereof, and what action the
Company or such subsidiary has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto; and

            (ii)  the information the Company must deliver to any holder or to
any prospective transferee of Securities in order to permit the sale or other

for inspection at such office during normal business hours by any holder of
Securities or any prospective transferee of Securities designated by a holder
thereof.

subsidiaries, to examine the books of account and records of the Company and of
its subsidiaries, to make or be provided with copies and extracts therefrom, to
discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and of its
subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, its and their officers,
employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Company
authorizes such accountants to discuss such affairs, finances and accounts,
whether or not a representative of the Company is present) all at such
reasonable times and intervals and to such reasonable extent as such Purchaser
may desire; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in confidence and
shall not make any disclosure (except to such Purchaser) of any such information
which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which
determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such
information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, (b)
the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company shall not be
required to disclose any confidential information to any Inspector until and
unless such Inspector shall have entered into confidentiality agreements (in
form and substance satisfactory to the Company) with the Company with respect
thereto, substantially in the form of this Section 4(o). Each Purchaser agrees
that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information is sought in or
by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense,
to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a
protective order for, the information deemed confidential. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to withhold from disclosure under this
paragraph any material protected by attorney-client privilege.

hereby which questions the validity of, challenges or prohibits the consummation
of, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      (g)   Each Purchaser shall have received an opinion of the Company's
counsel, dated as of the Closing Date, in form, scope and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser and in substantially the form of Exhibit D
attached hereto.

      (h)   Each Purchaser shall have received a copy of resolutions, duly
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, which shall be in full force
and effect at the time of the Closing, authorizing the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Warrant, certified as such by the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Company.

8.    GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.

      (a)   Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware. The Company and the
Purchasers irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the United States federal
courts and the state courts located in the State of Delaware in any suit or
proceeding based on or arising under this Agreement and irrevocably agree that
all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in such
courts. The Company irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. The Company further agrees that
service of process upon the Company mailed by first class mail shall be deemed
in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit
or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Purchaser to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company agrees that a final
non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other
lawful manner.

<PAGE>

      (b)   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be
delivered to the other parties hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of
this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.
In the event any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, the party
using such means of delivery shall cause the manually executed Execution Page(s)
hereof to be physically delivered to the other party within five (5) days of the
execution hereof, provided that the failure to so deliver any manually executed
Execution Page shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement.

      (c)   Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

      (d)   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

      (e)   Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the instruments
referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the Purchasers, the
Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the
matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein
or therein, neither the Company nor any Purchaser makes any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of
this Agreement may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by
the party to be charged with enforcement and no provision of this Agreement may
be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and each
Purchaser.

      (f)   Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the
terms of this Agreement shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return
receipt requested) or delivered personally, by responsible overnight carrier or
by confirmed facsimile, and shall be effective five (5) days after being placed
in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered
personally or by responsible overnight carrier or confirmed facsimile, in each
case addressed to a party. The addresses for such communications shall be:

                  If to the Company:

                  ViroLogic, Inc.
                  270 East Grand Avenue
                  South San Francisco, California 94080
                  Telephone:  (650) 635-1100
                  Attn:  Chief Executive Officer

<PAGE>

                  with a copy simultaneously transmitted by like means to (which
transmittal shall not constitute notice hereunder):

                  Cooley Godward LLP
                  4401 Eastgate Mall
                  San Diego, California 92121
                  Telephone:  (858) 550-6000
                  Attn:  Christopher J. Kearns, Esq.

      If to any Purchaser, to such address set forth under such Purchaser's name
on the Execution Page hereto executed by such Purchaser.

      Each party shall provide notice to the other parties of any change in
address.

      (g)   Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Except as
provided herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall assign
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder to any of its
"affiliates," as that term is defined under the Exchange Act, without the
consent of the Company or to any other person or entity with the consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This provision shall
not limit a Purchaser's right to transfer the Securities pursuant to the terms
of the Certificate of Designation, the Warrants and this Agreement or to assign
such Purchaser's rights hereunder or thereunder to any such transferee. In
addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants, the Securities may
be pledged and all rights of any Purchaser under this Agreement or any other
agreement or document related to the transactions contemplated hereby may be
assigned, without further consent of the Company, to a bona fide pledgee in
connection with such Purchaser's margin or brokerage account.

      (h)   Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other person; provided that Section 4(f) may be enforced by SDS Capital.

      (i)   Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the
agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 8 hereof shall
survive the Closing notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by
or on behalf of any Purchaser. Moreover, none of the representations and
warranties made by the Company herein shall act as a waiver of any rights or
remedies any Purchaser may have under applicable U.S. federal or state
securities laws.

      (j)   Publicity. The Company and each Purchaser shall have the right to
approve before issuance any press releases, SEC or NASD filings, or any other
public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby;
provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior
approval of the Purchasers, to make any press release or SEC or NASD filings
with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and
regulations (although the Purchasers shall be consulted by the Company in
connection with any such press release and filing prior to its release and shall
be provided with a copy thereof).

<PAGE>

      (k)   Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

      (l)   Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred
on or before March 31, 2002, unless the parties agree otherwise, this Agreement
shall terminate at the close of business on such date. Notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, any party not in breach of this Agreement shall
preserve all rights and remedies it may have against another party hereto for a
breach of this Agreement prior to or relating to the termination hereof.

      (m)   Joint Participation in Drafting. Each party to this Agreement has
participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, the Certificate
of Designation, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement. As such, the
language used herein and therein shall be deemed to be the language chosen by
the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction will be applied against any party to this Agreement.

      (n)   Equitable Relief. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of
its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Purchaser by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations hereunder (including, but not limited to, its obligations pursuant
to Section 5 hereof) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement (including,
but not limited to, its obligations pursuant to Section 5 hereof), that each
Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer
of the Securities, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.

      (o)   Additional Acknowledgement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has
independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Warrants, that it has independently determined to enter into the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, that it is not relying on any
advice from or evaluation by any other Purchaser, and that it is not acting in
concert with any other Purchaser in making its purchase of securities hereunder.
The Purchasers and, to its knowledge, the Company agree that the Purchasers have
not taken any actions that would deem such Purchasers to be members of a "group"
for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

      (p)   Indemnification by Company.

            (i)   From and after the Closing, the Company shall hold harmless
and indemnify each of the Purchasers from and against, and shall compensate and
reimburse each of the Purchasers for, any damages which are directly or
indirectly suffered or incurred by any of the Purchasers or to which any of the
Purchasers may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such
damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise from or as a result

<PAGE>

of, or are directly or indirectly connected with any inaccuracy in or breach of
any of the Company's representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein.

            (ii)  In the event of the assertion or commencement by any person of
any claim or legal proceeding with respect to which any Purchaser may have
indemnification rights pursuant to Section 8(p)(i), such Purchaser shall
promptly notify the Company thereof in writing, but the failure to so notify the
Company will not limit any Purchaser's rights to indemnification hereunder,
except to the extent the Company demonstrates that the defense of such action is
prejudiced by the failure to so give such notice.

                         REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

      REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT"), dated as of March 22,
2002, by and among ViroLogic, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of
the State of Delaware (the "COMPANY"), and the undersigned (together with its
affiliates, the "INITIAL INVESTORS").

                                    WHEREAS:

      A.    In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
March 22, 2002, by and among the Company and the Initial Investors (the
"SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), the Company has agreed, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions contained therein, to issue and sell to the Initial
Investors (i) shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "PREFERRED
STOCK") that are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $.001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), upon the terms and subject to the
limitations and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Rights
and Preferences with respect to such Preferred Stock (the "CERTIFICATE OF
DESIGNATION") and (ii) warrants (the "WARRANTS") to acquire shares of Common
Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock are referred to herein as the "CONVERSION SHARES" and the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants are
referred to herein as the "WARRANT SHARES."

      B.    To induce the Initial Investors to execute and deliver the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain
registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the
"SECURITIES ACT"), and applicable state securities laws.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Initial
Investors hereby agree as follows:

      1.    DEFINITIONS.

            (a)   As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

                  (i)   "INVESTORS" means the Initial Investors and any
transferees or assignees who agree to become bound by the provisions of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

                  (ii)  "REGISTER," "REGISTERED," and "REGISTRATION" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or
Statements in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a
continuous basis ("RULE 415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness
of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").

<PAGE>

                  (iii) "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means (a) the Conversion
Shares, (b) the Warrant Shares and (c) any shares of capital stock issued or
issuable, from time to time (with any adjustments), as a distribution on or in
exchange for or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing, whether as
default payments or otherwise.

                  (iv)  "REGISTRATION STATEMENT" means a registration statement
of the Company under the Securities Act.

            (b)   Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase
Agreement.

      2.    REGISTRATION.

            (a)   Mandatory Registration. The Company shall use its best efforts
to prepare promptly and file with the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the Closing Date (the
"FILING DATE"), a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not
then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to
effect a registration of all of the Registrable Securities, subject to the
consent of the Initial Investors) covering the resale of all of the Registrable
Securities. The Registration Statement filed hereunder, to the extent allowable
under the Securities Act and the Rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule
416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such
indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants to prevent
dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
The Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement shall be
allocated to the Investors as set forth in Section 12(k) hereof. The
Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each
request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and
subject to the approval of, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) the
Initial Investors and its counsel prior to its filing or other submission.

            (b)   Payments by the Company. The Company shall use its best
efforts to cause the Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof to become effective as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Filing Date. At the time of
effectiveness, the Company shall ensure that such Registration Statement covers
all of the Registrable Securities issuable at such time pursuant to the
Preferred Stock and the Warrants (including, if necessary, by filing an
amendment prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement to increase
the number of shares covered thereby). If (i) (A) the Registration Statement
required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof is not filed
with the SEC prior to the Filing Date or declared effective by the SEC on or
before the ninetieth (90th) day after the Filing Date (the "REGISTRATION
DEADLINE") or (B) any Registration Statement required to be filed by the Company
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof is not declared effective by the SEC within
sixty (60) days after the applicable Registration Trigger Date (as defined in
Section 4(b) hereof), or (ii) if, after any such Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, sales of any of the Registrable Securities
required to be covered by such Registration Statement (including any Registrable
Securities required to be registered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof) cannot be
made pursuant to such Registration Statement (by reason of a stop order or the
Company's failure to update the Registration Statement or any other reason
outside the control of the Investors), except as

<PAGE>

otherwise provided herein or (iii) the Common Stock is not listed or included
for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market ("NNM"), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
("SMALLCAP"), the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or the American Stock
Exchange (the "AMEX") at any time after the Registration Deadline hereunder,
then the Company will make payments to the Investors in such amounts and at such
times as shall be determined pursuant to this Section 2(b) as partial relief for
the damages to the Investors by reason of any such delay in or reduction of
their ability to sell the Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be
exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity). The Company
shall pay to each Investor an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate
Purchase Price of the Preferred Stock and Warrants purchased at the Closing held
by such Investor (including, without limitation, Preferred Stock that has been
converted into Conversion Shares and Warrants that have been exercised for
Warrant Shares then held by such Investor) (the "AGGREGATE SHARE PRICE"),
multiplied by (ii) two hundredths (.02), for each thirty (30) day period (or
portion thereof) (A) after the Filing Date and prior to the date the
Registration Statement is filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), (B) after
the Registration Deadline and prior to the date the Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2(a) is declared effective by the SEC, (C) after the
sixtieth (60th) day following a Registration Trigger Date (as defined in Section
4(b)) and prior to the date the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section
4(b) hereof is declared effective by the SEC, and (D) during which sales of any
Registrable Securities cannot be made pursuant to any such Registration
Statement after the Registration Statement has been declared effective or the
Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the NNM, SmallCap, NYSE
or AMEX; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from each such period
any delays which are solely attributable to changes (other than corrections of
Company mistakes with respect to information previously provided by the
Investors) required by the Investors in the Registration Statement with respect
to information relating to the Investors, including, without limitation, changes
to the plan of distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
the Company be required to pay amounts with respect to (x) both (A) and (B), and
(y) both (C) and (D) above for the same period of time. (For example, if the
Registration Statement is not effective by the Registration Deadline, the
Company would pay $20,000 for each thirty (30) day period thereafter with
respect to each $1,000,000 of Aggregate Share Price until the Registration
Statement becomes effective.) Such amounts shall be paid in cash. Payments of
cash pursuant hereto shall be made within five (5) days after the end of each
period that gives rise to such obligation, provided that, if any such period
extends for more than thirty (30) days, interim payments shall be made for each
such thirty (30) day period. The requirement to make payments pursuant to this
section can be waived as to all Investors by the written consent of Investors
holding at least eighty-one percent (81%) of the Registrable Securities

            (c)   Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time prior to the
expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall
file with the SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own
account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity
securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents
relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), the Company shall
send to each Investor written notice of such determination and, if within
fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice, such Investor shall so request
in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any
part of the Registrable Securities such Investor

<PAGE>

requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten
public offering, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation
on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the
Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or
other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public
distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such
Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities
with respect to which such Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the
underwriter shall permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made
pro rata among the Investors seeking to include Registrable Securities, in
proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such
Investors; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable
Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the
holders of which are not contractually entitled to inclusion of such securities
in such Registration Statement or are not contractually entitled to pro rata
inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided, further, however, that,
after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of
Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities
having the contractual right to include such securities in the Registration
Statement other than holders of securities contractually entitled to inclusion
of their securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand
registration rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such reduction shall
reduce the amount of Registrable Securities included in the registration below
twenty-five (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such
registration. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this
Section 2(c) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section
2(a) hereof. If an offering in connection with which an Investor is entitled to
registration under this Section 2(c) is an underwritten offering, then each
Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such
Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or
underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms
and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten
offering.

            (d)   Eligibility for Form S-3. The Company represents and warrants
that it meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 for registration of the
sale by the Initial Investors and any other Investor of the Registrable
Securities and the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by the
Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to maintain such eligibility for
the use of Form S-3.

      3.    DELAY PERIODS; SUSPENSION OF SALES.

            (a)   Delay Period. If, at any time prior to the expiration of the
Registration Period (as defined below), in the good faith reasonable judgment of
the Company's Board of Directors, the disposition of Registrable Securities
would require the premature disclosure of material non-public information which
may reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Company, then the
Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of or amend or
supplement the Registration Statement for a period (a "DISCLOSURE DELAY PERIOD")
expiring upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which such material
information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (ii) subject
to Section 3(b) hereof, up to ten (10) trading days after the date on which the
Company provides a notice to the Investors under Section 4(e) hereof stating
that the failure to disclose such non-public information causes the prospectus
included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, to include an untrue
statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact required

<PAGE>

to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
(each, a "DISCLOSURE DELAY PERIOD NOTICE"). For the avoidance of doubt, in no
event shall a Disclosure Delay Period exceed ten (10) trading days.

            (b)   The Company will give prompt written notice, in the manner
prescribed by Section 12 hereof, to the Investors of each Disclosure Delay
Period. If practicable, such notice shall estimate the duration of such
Disclosure Delay Period. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of a Disclosure
Delay Period Notice prior to the Investor's disposition of all such Registrable
Securities, Investor will forthwith discontinue the disposition of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, and will not
deliver any prospectus forming a part thereof in connection with any sale of
such Registrable Securities until the expiration of such Disclosure Delay
Period. In addition, the provisions of Section 2(b) hereof shall not apply to
the Disclosure Delay Periods. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the
contrary, the Company shall not deliver more than two (2) Disclosure Delay
Period Notices in any one (1) year period and there shall not be more than an
aggregate of sixty (60) calendar days in any twelve (12) month period during
which the Company is in a Disclosure Delay Period nor more than an aggregate of
thirty (30) calendar days in any ninety (90) calendar day period during which
the Company is in a Disclosure Delay Period.

      4.    OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

      In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Company shall have the following obligations:

            (a)   The Company shall respond promptly to any and all comments
made by the staff of the SEC to the Registration Statement required by Section
2(a), and shall submit to the SEC before the close of business on or before the
second business day immediately following the business day on which the Company
learns (either by telephone or in writing) that no review of such Registration
Statement will be made by the SEC or that the staff of the SEC has no further
comments on such Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for
acceleration of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and
date as soon as practicable. The Company shall keep such Registration Statement
effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of
(i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold and (ii)
the date on which all of the Registrable Securities may be immediately sold to
the public without registration or restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act or any successor provision (the "REGISTRATION PERIOD"), which
Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and
prospectuses contained therein and all documents incorporated by reference
therein) (i) shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder
and (ii) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading. The financial statements of the Company
included in the Registration Statement or incorporated by reference therein will
comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable with
respect thereto. Such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the
periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim
statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be

<PAGE>

condensed on summary statements and fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to immaterial year-end adjustments).

            (b)   The Company shall use its best efforts, to prepare and file
with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during
such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to
the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the
Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by
the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement. In the
event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed
pursuant to this Agreement is, for any three (3) consecutive trading days (the
last of such three (3) trading days being the "REGISTRATION TRIGGER DATE"),
insufficient to cover one hundred percent (100%) of the Registrable Securities
issued or issuable upon conversion (without giving effect to any limitations on
conversion contained in Article IV.D of the Certificate of Designation) of the
Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants (without giving effect to any
limitations on exercise contained in Section 7(g) of the Warrants), the Company
shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on
the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover one
hundred percent (100%) of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable (without
giving effect to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained in the
Certificate of Designation or the Warrants) as of the Registration Trigger Date,
in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within fifteen (15) days
after the Registration Trigger Date (based on the market price then in effect of
the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably
elects to rely). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
amendment(s) and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof. In the event the Company fails to
obtain the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement within sixty (60)
days after a Registration Trigger Date, each Investor shall thereafter have the
option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by
delivery of a written notice to the Company (a "MANDATORY REDEMPTION NOTICE"),
to require the Company to purchase for cash, at an amount per share equal to the
Redemption Amount (as defined in Article VIII.B of the Certificate of
Designation), a portion of the Investor's Preferred Stock such that the total
number of Registrable Securities included on the Registration Statements for
resale by such Investor exceeds 100% of the Registrable Securities issued or
issuable upon conversion (without giving effect to any limitations on conversion
contained in Article IV.D of the Certificate of Designation) of such Investor's
Preferred Stock and exercise of such Investor's Warrants. If the Corporation
fails to redeem any of such shares within five (5) business days after its
receipt of a Mandatory Redemption Notice, then such Investor shall be entitled
to the remedies provided in Article VIII.D of the Certificate of Designation.

            (c)   The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in the Registration Statement and its legal counsel (i)
promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the
SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of the Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment
or supplement thereto, and, in the case of the Registration Statement referred
to in

<PAGE>

Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or
the staff of the SEC (including, without limitation, any request to accelerate
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or amendment thereto), and each
item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case
relating to the Registration Statement (other than any portion, if any, thereof
which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential
treatment), (ii) by the next business day after the date of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, a notice stating that the
Registration Statement or amendment has been declared effective, and (iii) such
number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all
amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as such Investor may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Investor.

            (d)   The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and
qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under
such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being offered
reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other
actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in
effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other
actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (a) qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this Section 4(d), (b) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction, (c) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction, (d) provide any undertakings that cause the Company undue expense
or burden, or (e) make any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each case
the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders.

            (e)   As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
the Company shall notify each Investor by telephone and facsimile of the
happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which
the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and, use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or
amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or
omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to
each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request.

            (f)   The Company shall use its best efforts (i) to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement (other than as permitted herein), and, if such an order
is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable
moment (including in each case by amending or supplementing such Registration
Statement) and (ii) to notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities
being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing
underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof (and if
such Registration Statement is supplemented or amended, deliver such number of
copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may
reasonably request).

<PAGE>

            (g)   The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated
by the Initial Investors to review the Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto a reasonable period of time prior to its filing with the
SEC, and not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably
objects.

            (h)   The Company shall make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the
close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying
with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a
twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's
fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement
which compliance will be met through the Company's filing, on an appropriate
form, the appropriate report of the Company as required by the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

            (i)   The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any
disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement, or (v) such Investor
consents to the form and content of any such disclosure. The Company agrees that
it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an
Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior
to making such disclosure, and allow the Investor, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, such information.

            (j)   The Company shall use its best efforts to promptly either (i)
cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to
be listed on the NYSE or the AMEX or another national securities exchange and on
each additional national securities exchange on which securities of the same
class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of
such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange,
or (ii) secure the designation and quotation of all of the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement on the NNM or SmallCap and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for or maintain at
least two market makers to register with the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.

            (k)   The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar,
which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the
effective date of the Registration Statement.

            (l)   The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold
Registrable Securities being offered to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends to the extent
permitted by the Securities Purchase Agreement) representing Registrable
Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such

<PAGE>

certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the
Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors
may request.

            (m)   At the request of any Investor, the Company shall prepare and
file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan
of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.

            (n)   The Company shall comply with all applicable laws related to a
Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable
rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith
(including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.)

            (o)   From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall
not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the Company
to include any of their securities which are not Registrable Securities in the
Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement
thereto under Section 4(b) hereof without the consent of the holders of a
majority in interest of the Registrable Securities (other than as set forth in
the Schedule of Exceptions to the Securities Purchase Agreement).

      5.    OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS. In connection with the registration of
the Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations:

            (a)   It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to
the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration
of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection
with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five
trading days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration
Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company
requires from each such Investor.

            (b)   Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the
Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the
Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company
in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

            (c)   Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 4(e) or
3(a), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable
Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus contemplated by Sections 4(e) or 3(a) and, if so directed by
the Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the
Company) or destroy (and deliver

<PAGE>

to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such Investor's
possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at
the time of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
subject to compliance with applicable laws, the Company shall cause the transfer
agent for the Registrable Securities to deliver unlegended shares of Common
Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the
Certificate of Designation and Warrants in connection with any sale of
Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a
contract for sale prior to receipt of such notice and for which such Investor
has not yet settled.

      6.    EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses incurred by the
Company or the Investors (but only for reasonable attorney's fees of one counsel
for the Investors) in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 4 above, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, the
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, the fees and disbursements of
one counsel selected by the Investors, and the underwriting discounts and
commissions, shall be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay
all of the Investors' reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees)
incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Investors
hereunder.

      7.    INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

            (a)   To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify,
hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor who holds such Registrable
Securities, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, members, employees and
agents of such Investor and each person who controls any Investor within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), if any, (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PERSON"), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or
inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced
or threatened, in respect thereof, "CLAIMS") to which any of them may become
subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration
Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date
of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended
or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any
material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state
securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iii) being, collectively, "VIOLATIONS"). Subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 7(c) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the
Company shall reimburse the Investors and each other Indemnified Person,
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained

<PAGE>

in this Section 7(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based
upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person
expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (iii) with
respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any
Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact
contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the
prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof, and the
Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect
prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation and such Indemnified
Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable
Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 10 hereof.

            (b)   In connection with any Registration Statement in which an
Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees severally and not jointly
to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same
manner set forth in Section 7(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of
its officers who signs the Registration Statement, its employees, agents and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any other
stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of
its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together
with an Indemnified Person, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against any Claim to which
any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation,
in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration
Statement; and subject to Section 7(c) such Investor will reimburse any legal or
other expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable)
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such
settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the
Investor shall be liable under this Agreement (including this Section 7(b) and
Section 8) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds actually
received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Section 10 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 7(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the
benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material
fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in
the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented.

            (c)   Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action
(including any governmental action),

<PAGE>

such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect
thereof is to made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, deliver
to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or
the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that such
indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
conflicts of interest between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and
any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or the actual or
potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the
Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party and any
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there
may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
which are in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party. The
indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the
Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such legal
counsel shall be selected by Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim
relates (with the approval of the Initial Investors if it holds Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement), if the Investors are
entitled to indemnification hereunder, or by the Company, if the Company is
entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any
liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 7,
except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its
ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 7
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred and is due and payable.

      8.    CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying
party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be
liable under Section 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and
the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, on the other
hand, with respect to the Violation giving rise to the applicable Claim;
provided, however, that (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances
where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault
standards set forth in Section 7, (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 12(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution
(together with any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement) by
any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net
amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable
Securities.

      9.    REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making available to
the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or
any other similar rule

<PAGE>

or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration ("RULE 144"), the
Company agrees to:

                  (i)   file with the SEC in a timely manner and make and keep
available all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to
such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the
Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement)
and the filing and availability of such reports and other documents is required
for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

                  (ii)  furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns
shares of Preferred Stock, Warrants or Registrable Securities, promptly upon
request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
(ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and
such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other
information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such
securities under Rule 144 without registration.

      10.   ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights of the Investors
hereunder, including the right to have the Company register Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each
Investor to any transferee of all or any portion of the shares of Preferred
Stock, the Warrants or the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in
writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of
such agreement is furnished to the Company after such assignment, (ii) the
Company is furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such
transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such
transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws, (iv) the transferee or assignee agrees in writing for the
benefit of the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein,
and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of
Designation for the Preferred Stock and the Warrants, as applicable. In
addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or
the Warrants, the Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
may be pledged, and all rights of the Investors under this Agreement or any
other agreement or document related to the transactions contemplated hereby may
be assigned, without further consent of the Company, to a bona fide pledgee in
connection with an Investor's margin or brokerage account.

      11.   AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may
be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with
written consent of the Company, and Investors who hold at least eighty-one
percent (81%) of the Registrable Securities or, in the case of a waiver, with
the written consent of the party charged with the enforcement of any such
provision; provided, however, that no consideration shall be paid to an Investor
by the Company in connection with an amendment hereto unless each Investor
similarly affected by such amendment receives a pro-rata

<PAGE>

amount of consideration from the Company. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon each Investor and the
Company.

      12.   MISCELLANEOUS.

            (a)   A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable
Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same
Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions,
notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable
Securities.

            (b)   Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms
of this Agreement shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt
requested), or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or
delivered personally or by courier or by confirmed telecopy, and shall be
effective five (5) days after being placed in the mail, if mailed certified or
registered mailed, or one (1) day after being delivered to the nationally
recognized overnight delivery service, if delivered in such manner, or upon
receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by courier or
confirmed telecopy, in each case addressed to a party. The addresses for such
communications shall be:

                  If to the Company:

                  ViroLogic, Inc.
                  270 East Grand Avenue
                  South San Francisco, California 94080
                  Telephone:  (650) 635-1100
                  Attn:  Chief Executive Officer

                  with a copy simultaneously transmitted by like means to:

                  Cooley Godward LLP
                  4401 Eastgate Mall
                  San Diego, California 92121
                  Telephone:  (858) 550-6000
                  Attn:  Christopher J. Kearns, Esq.

and if to any Investor, at such address as such Investor shall have provided in
writing to the Company, or at such other address as each such party furnishes by
notice given in accordance with this Section 12(b).

            (c)   Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under
this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or
remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

            (d)   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made
and to be performed in the State of

<PAGE>

Delaware. The Company irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United
States federal courts and the state courts located in the State of Delaware in
any suit or proceeding based on or arising under this Agreement and irrevocably
agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined
in such courts. The Company irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. The Company further agrees
that service of process upon the Company, mailed by first class mail shall be
deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any
such suit or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the Investors' right to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company agrees that a
final non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any
other lawful manner.

            (e)   This Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement (including
all schedules and exhibits thereto) and the Warrants constitute the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other
than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This Agreement, the
Securities Purchase Agreement and the Warrants supersede all prior agreements
and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof.

            (f)   Subject to the requirements of Section 10 hereof, this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each of the parties hereto.

            (g)   The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

            (h)   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one
and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be
delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of this
Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.

            (i)   Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and
performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all
such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other
party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

            (j)   All consents, approvals and other determinations to be made by
the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Investors holding
a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities (determined as if all
shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants then outstanding had been converted into
or exercised for Registrable Securities) held by all Investors.

            (k)   The initial number of Registrable Securities included on any
Registration Statement and each increase to the number of Registrable Securities
included thereon shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the
number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time of such
establishment or increase, as the case may be. In the event an Investor shall
sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's Registrable Securities, each
transferee shall be

<PAGE>

allocated a pro rata portion of the number of Registrable Securities included on
a Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock
included on a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any person or
entity which does not hold any Registrable Securities shall be allocated to the
remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of shares of Registrable
Securities then held by such Investors. For the avoidance of doubt, the number
of Registrable Securities held by any Investor shall be determined as if all
shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants then outstanding were converted into or
exercised for Registrable Securities.

            (l)   Each party to this Agreement has participated in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. As such, the language used herein
shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any
party to this Agreement.

            (m)   For purposes of this Agreement, the term "business day" means
any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions
in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or
executive order to close, and the term "trading day" means any day on which NNM,
or if the Common Stock is not then traded on NNM the principal securities
exchange or trading market where the Common Stock is then listed or traded, is
open for trading.
