  FORM OF NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

 	NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT dated
as of [Grant Date] by and between Applera Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and [Name], a regular salaried employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (“you”). 

 1.   Grant
          of Option.  The
      Company hereby grants to you an option (the “Option”) to purchase
      [Total Number of Shares] shares of its Celera Genomics Group Common Stock,
      par value $.01 per share (the “Celera Stock”), under the terms
      of the Applera Corporation/Celera Genomics Group 1999 Stock Incentive Plan
      (the “Plan”). 

  2.   Purchase
            Price of Option. The
            purchase price of the shares of Celera Stock subject to the Option
            is $[Purchase Price] per share. 

  3.   Expiration
            Date of Option. The
      Option will expire as of 12:00 a.m. midnight (New York time) on [10 Year
      Anniversary of Grant Date] (the “Expiration Date”), unless it
      is terminated earlier as provided in this Agreement. 

  4.   Exercise. The
        Option may be exercised as to [25% of Total Number of Shares] shares
        on [First Anniversary of Grant Date], [25% of Total Number of Shares]
        shares on [Second Anniversary of Grant Date], [25% of Total Number of
        Shares] shares on [Third Anniversary of Grant Date] and [25% of Total
        Number of Shares] shares on [Fourth Anniversary of Grant Date].1 2 Except
        as provided below, the Option may not be exercised unless you are on
        the date of exercise, and have been at all times from the date of grant
        to the date of exercise, a regular employee of the Company or one of
        its subsidiaries. 

  5.   Termination
            of Employment.  If
            your employment with the Company or a subsidiary is terminated by
            you or the Company for any reason other than Cause (as defined below)3,
            retirement, disability, or death, you may exercise the Option, to
            the extent that you would otherwise be entitled to do so at the date
            of termination of employment, at any time within 30 days after the
            date of termination, but not after the Expiration Date. 

	

	1	 January
          21, 1999, stock option grants vested in four equal installments on
          the first day of each of the first four fiscal years commencing after
          the grant date. All other stock options issued pursuant to this form
          of agreement were issued subject to the vesting schedule set forth in this
    Section 4. The foregoing nothwithstanding, during the 2005 fiscal year, the vesting of all stock options
issued pursuant to this form of agreement was accelerated, such that all of these options became exercisable
regardless of the vesting schedule set forth in this Section 4. However, shares of stock issued upon the exercise
of the accelerated options by executive officers and some other senior employees are subject to a restriction on the sale
or other transfer prior to the earlier of the original vesting date or the individual’s
termination of employment.
	2	
          For stock options granted during or after June 2002, the vesting dates
                for a newly-hired employee are  the anniversaries of the hire
                date, and not the grant date, if employment commences prior to
                the grant date.
	3	 This
          reference to “Cause” is applicable only to stock option grants
          approved
on and after October 19, 2000.

  6.   Termination
          of Service for Cause. If
          your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause,
          the Option will be immediately
forfeited in full upon such termination (regardless of the extent to which the
Option may have been exercisable as of such time). For purposes of this paragraph
6 only, “Cause” is defined as (a) any act which is in bad faith and
to the detriment of the Company or (b) a material breach of any agreement with
or material obligation to the Company.4

  7.   Retirement
            or Disability. If
            you retire under the terms of any qualified pension plan provided
            by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, or if you are totally
            and permanently disabled, the Option may be exercised as to the total
            number of shares subject to the Option (without regard to the exercise
            schedule set forth in paragraph 4) at any time within one year after
            the date of retirement or disability retirement, but not after the
            Expiration Date. 

  8.   Death.  If
        you die while employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, the
        Option may be exercised (to the extent that you would have been entitled
        to do so at the date of your death) by your executor or administrator
        (or other person at the time entitled by law to your rights under the
        Option) at any time within one year after the date of death, but not
        after the Expiration Date. 

  9.   Exercise
            of Option.  The
      Option may be exercised by giving written notice in the form specified
      by the Company to the Corporate Secretary at the principal office of the
      Company specifying the number of shares of Celera Stock to be purchased.
      However, the Option may not be exercised as to fewer than 100 shares, or
      the remaining shares covered by the Option if fewer than 100, at any one
      time, and the Option may not be exercised with respect to a fractional
      share. The purchase price of the shares as to which the Option is exercised
      must be paid in full at the time of exercise, at your election, (a) in
      U.S. currency, (b) by tendering to the Company shares of Celera Stock owned
      by you for at least six months having a Fair Market Value (as defined in
      the Plan) equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares as to which
      the Option is being exercised, (c) a combination of U.S. currency and/or
      previously owned shares of Celera Stock valued at Fair Market Value, or
      (d) by payment of such other consideration as the Management Resources
      Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) from time
      to time determines. For purposes of this paragraph, Fair Market Value will
      be determined as of the business day immediately preceding the day on which
      the Option is exercised. 

 	10.   Conditions
to Exercise. The
exercise of the Option within one year following termination of employment is
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions that you have not (a) rendered
services or engaged directly or indirectly in any business which in the opinion
of the Committee competes with or is in conflict with the interests of the Company,
or (b) violated any written agreement with the Company, including, without limitation,
any confidentiality agreement. Your violation of either clause (a) or (b) of
the preceding sentence will result in the immediate forfeiture of any Options
held by you. 

   11.   Tax
          Withholding Obligations.
          As a condition to the delivery of shares of Celera Stock upon the exercise
          of the Option, you agree to pay to the Company an amount sufficient
          to
    

	

	4 This
          provision is applicable only to stock option grants approved on and
    after October 19, 2000. 

2

satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations. Alternatively, you agree
that the Company and your employer are expressly authorized to deduct the appropriate
withholding taxes from your pay in order to satisfy any income, social, or other
employment-related taxes related to your participation in the Plan. 

  12.   Rights
            as a Stockholder. You
            will not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares
            of Celera Stock subject to the Option prior to the issuance to you
            of a certificate for such shares. 

  13.   Transferability. The
        Option may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent
        and distribution, and the Option may be exercised, during your lifetime,
        only by you or your guardian or legal representative. 

  14.   Change
            of Control.  Subject
            to the terms of the Plan, the Option will become immediately exercisable
            in full (without regard to the exercise schedule set forth in paragraph
            4) upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section
            11 of the Plan.

  15.   No
            Right to Continued Employment.  Neither
            the Option nor this Agreement confers upon you any right to continue
            to be an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or interferes
            in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
            to terminate your employment at any time. Except as provided in this
            Agreement, the Option will terminate upon your termination of employment
            for any reason. The Option will not be reinstated if you are subsequently
            reinstated as an employee of the Company or any subsidiary. 

  16.   No
            Right to Future Benefits.  The
            Plan and the benefits offered thereunder are provided by the Company
            on an entirely discretionary basis, and the Plan creates no vested
            rights in participants. Neither the Option nor this Agreement confers
            upon you any benefit other than as specifically set forth in this
            Agreement and the Plan. You understand and agree that the benefits
            offered under the Option and the Plan are not part of your salary
            and that receipt of the Option does not entitle you to any future
            benefits under the Plan or any other plan or program of the Company. 

  17.   Compliance
            with Law. No
            shares of Celera Stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Option
            unless counsel for the Company is satisfied that such issuance will
            be in compliance with all applicable laws. 

  18.   Terms
            of Plan Govern.  This
            Agreement and the terms of the Option will be governed by the terms
            of the Plan which is hereby incorporated by reference in this Agreement.
            In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement or any inconsistency
            between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the
            terms of the Plan will govern. By your signature below, you acknowledge
            receipt of the Prospectus for the Plan [, including a copy of the
            Plan,]5 and agree to be bound by all of the terms of the
            Plan.
