     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
effective as of January 1, 2000, by and between CARABUNGA.COM, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and JAMES K. ROCHE ("Executive").  The Company
and Executive are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parties," and
individually referred to as each or any "Party."

                                     RECITALS:

     A.   The Company desires assurance of the association and services of
Executive in order to retain Executive's experience, skills, abilities,
background and knowledge, and is willing to engage Executive's services on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     B.   Executive desires to be in the employ of the Company, and is
willing to accept such employment on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement.

                                     AGREEMENT:

     In consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants
herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

       1.     EMPLOYMENT.

              1.1    The Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive
hereby accepts employment by the Company, upon the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement.

              1.2    Executive shall be the President of the Company or shall
serve in such other executive managerial capacity or capacities as the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board") may from time to time prescribe.

              1.3    Executive shall do and perform all services, acts or
things necessary or advisable to manage and conduct the business of the
Company, provided, however, that at all times during his employment Executive
shall be subject to the direction and policies from time to time established
by the Board.

       2.     LOYAL AND CONSCIENTIOUS PERFORMANCE; NON-COMPETITION.

              2.1    During his employment by the Company, Executive shall
devote his full business and professional energies, interest, abilities and
time to the proper and efficient performance of this Agreement.

              2.2    During the term of this Agreement and any period during
which the Executive is receiving compensation or any other consideration from
the Company, including severance pay pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.4 herein,
Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, engage
in competition with the Company or any of its affiliates, either directly or
indirectly, in any manner or capacity, as adviser, principal, agent,
affiliate,

<PAGE>

promoter, partner, officer, director, employee, stockholder, owner, co-owner,
consultant, or member of any association or otherwise, in any phase of the
business of developing, manufacturing and/or marketing of products or
services which are in the same field of use or which otherwise directly or
indirectly compete or could reasonably be expected to compete, directly or
indirectly, with the products or services or proposed products or services of
the Company and/or its affiliates.

              2.3    During the term of this Agreement, and any period during
which he receives compensation or any other consideration from the Company,
including severance pay pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.4 herein, Executive
agrees not to acquire, assume or participate in, directly or indirectly, any
position, investment or interest known by Executive to be adverse or
antagonistic to the Company, its business or prospects, financial or
otherwise or in any company, person or entity that is, directly or
indirectly, in competition with the business of the Company or any of its
affiliates. Ownership by the Executive, as a passive investment, of less than
two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any
corporation with one or more classes of its capital stock listed on a
national securities exchange or publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or
in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this
paragraph.

              2.4    While employed by the Company and for two (2) years
thereafter, the Executive agrees that he will not, either directly or through
others: i) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, consultant or
independent contractor of the Company or any of its affiliates to terminate
his or her relationship with the Company in order to become an employee,
consultant or independent contractor to or for any other person or business
entity; or ii) to solicit or attempt to solicit the business of any customer,
supplier, service provider, vendor or distributor of the Company or any of
its affiliates, which, at the time of termination or two (2) years
immediately prior thereto, was doing business with the Company or any of its
affiliates or listed on Company's or any of its affiliates' customer,
supplier, service provider, vendor or distributor lists.

       3.     TERM OF EMPLOYMENT.  Subject to the Section 5 of this
Agreement, Executive shall be employed by the Company for a two (2) year
term, commencing on the date first above written.  Upon the expiration of the
two year term, this agreement shall be extended for additional periods of one
year each, unless terminated by either party at least thirty days prior to
the expiration of the then current term.

       4.     COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE.

              4.1    BASE SALARY.  The Company shall pay Executive a salary
at a rate equal to one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) per year.
Such base salary shall be payable semi-monthly and shall be prorated for any
partial employment on the basis of a 365 day year.  The Board shall annually
consider whether to increase the Base Salary, which decision shall be in the
sole discretion of the Board.

              4.2    BONUS.  Executive's performance shall be reviewed by the
Board on a periodic basis (but not less than once in each year during the term
of this Agreement) and the Board may, in its sole discretion, award such bonuses
to Executive as shall be appropriate or

                                  2.

other criteria that the Board may deem advisable in its sole and absolute
discretion.

              4.3    WITHHOLDING TAXES, ETC.  All of Executive's compensation
shall be subject to customary withholding taxes and any other employment
taxes as are commonly required to be collected or withheld by the Company.

              5.1    TERMINATION BY COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE.     The Company
may terminate Executive's employment hereunder without Cause (as defined in
Section 5.2 herein) in its sole discretion upon written notice to the
Executive. If Executive's employment under this Agreement is terminated by
the Company without Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to: the
Executive's accrued base salary, a pro-rata portion of the bonus received by
Executive during the preceding year and accrued and unused vacation earned
through the Executive's last day of employment, less standard deductions and
withholdings.  In addition, upon Executive's furnishing to the Company an
executed waiver and release of claims (a form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A), the Executive shall be entitled to (i) the continuation of the
Executive's monthly base salary in effect at the time of termination plus a
monthly payment equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the bonus Executive received
during the preceding year for a period of twelve  months (the "Cause
Severance Period"), less standard deductions and withholdings and (ii) in the
event that Executive elects continued coverage under COBRA, the Company, as
part of this Agreement and in consideration thereof, will reimburse Executive
for the same portion of Executive's COBRA health insurance premium that it
paid during Executive's employment up until the earlier of either (i) the
last day of the Cause Severance Period or, (ii) the date in which Executive
begins full-time employment with another company or business entity, provided
that Executive will be responsible for the same portion of the COBRA health
insurance premium that Executive paid during Executive's employment with the
Company.

              5.2    TERMINATION BY COMPANY FOR CAUSE.  At the direction of
the Board, the Company may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for
Cause by delivery of written notice to Executive specifying the cause or
causes relied upon for such termination.  Executive shall be entitled to

                     5.2.3  Executive's commission of any fraud against the

or properties of the Company in a material amount not authorized by the Board
to be so used or appropriated;

                     5.2.4  Executive's conviction of any crime involving
moral turpitude;

this Agreement or any other agreement between Executive and the Company, and

notice thereof from the Company to Executive.

              5.3    TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE WITHOUT GOOD REASON.  Executive
may voluntarily terminate his employment hereunder without Good Reason (as
defined in Section 5.4  herein) in his sole discretion by giving prior
written notice to the Company.  Executive shall be entitled to receive
Executive's accrued base salary earned through the date of termination and
any accrued but unused vacation pay, less standard deductions and
withholdings.

              5.4    TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON.  Executive may
terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason by delivery of written
notice to the Company specifying the reason or reasons relied upon for such
termination.  If Executive's employment under this Agreement is terminated by

Executive's last day of employment, subject to standard deductions and
withholdings.  In addition, upon Executive's furnishing to the Company a an
executed waiver and release of claims (a form of which is attached hereto as

Executive's monthly base salary in effect at the time of termination, plus a
monthly payment equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the bonus Executive received
during the preceding year less standard deductions and withholdings, for a
period of twelve (12) months (the "Good Reason Severance Period") and (ii) in
the event that Executive elects continued coverage under COBRA, the Company,
as part of this Agreement and in consideration thereof, will reimburse
Executive for the same portion of Executive's COBRA health insurance premium
that it paid during Executive's employment up until the earlier of either (i)
the last day of the Good Reason Severance Period or, (ii) the date in which
Executive begins full-time employment with another company or business
entity, provided that Executive will be responsible for the same portion of
the COBRA health insurance premium that Executive paid during Executive's
employment with the Company.  Grounds for Executive to terminate his
employment for 'Good Reason" shall consist of the occurrence of any of the
following events:

                     5.4.1  If the Company requires Executive to perform any
act which is illegal, including commission of any crime involving moral
turpitude, notwithstanding Executive's notice thereof to the Board;

                     5.4.2  If the Company is in material breach of any

obligations, and the Executive's rights, pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.4
shall cease and be rendered a nullity immediately should the Executive
violate the provision of Sections 2.2 or 2.3 herein or should the Executive
violate the terms and conditions of the Executive's Proprietary Information
and Inventions Agreement.

              5.7    TERMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS.  In the event of the
termination of the Executive's employment hereunder and pursuant to this
Section 5, the Company shall have no obligation to pay Executive any Base
Salary, bonus or other compensation or benefits, except as provided in this
Section 5 or for benefits due to the Executive (and/or the Executive's
dependents under the terms of the Company's benefit plans).  The Company may
offset any amounts Executive owes it or its subsidiaries against any amount
it owes Executive pursuant to this Section 5.

              5.8    POST-TERMINATION CONSULTING AGREEMENT.  Upon termination
or resignation of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, and
at the Company's sole and absolute discretion, the Company and Executive, may
enter into a Consulting Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

Consulting Agreement within 14 days of the termination of employment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company requires that Executive enter
into the Consulting Agreement, and Executive fails to deliver an executed
copy of the Consulting Agreement to the Company, the Consulting Agreement
will be deemed to be entered into by both parties and shall continue in full
force and effect.

three (3) months following the date of death or the date when Executive
becomes completely disabled.

              6.2    DISABILITY DEFINED.  The term "completely disabled" as
used in this Agreement shall mean the inability of Executive to perform his
duties under this Agreement because he has become permanently disabled within
the meaning of the policy of disability income insurance provided to him by
the Company.

       7.     OTHER BENEFITS.

              7.1    BENEFIT PLANS.  Executive shall be eligible to

days.

                            RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS

     In consideration of the payments and other benefits set forth in Section
__ of the Employment Agreement dated ___________, to which this form is
attached, I, JAMES K. ROCHE, hereby furnish CARABUNGA.COM (the "Company"),
with the following release and waiver ("Release and Waiver").

     I hereby release, and forever discharge the Company, its officers,
directors, agents, employees, stockholders, successors, assigns, affiliates,
parent, subsidiaries, and Benefit Plans, of and from any and all claims,
liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees,
damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law,
equity, or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed
and undisclosed, arising at any time prior to and including my employment
Termination Date with respect to any claims relating to my employment and the
termination of my employment, including but not limited to, claims pursuant
to any federal, state or local law relating to employment, including, but not
limited to, discrimination claims, claims under the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act, and the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967, as amended ("ADEA"), or claims for wrongful termination, breach
of the covenant of good faith, contract claims, tort claims, and wage or
benefit claims, including but not limited to, claims for salary, bonuses,
commissions, stock, stock options, vacation pay, fringe benefits, severance
pay or any form of compensation.

     I also acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the
California Civil Code which reads as follows:  "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT
EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS
FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." I hereby expressly waive
and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any
jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to any claims I may have against
the Company.

     I acknowledge that, among other rights, I am waiving and releasing any
rights I may have under ADEA, that this Release and Waiver is knowing and
voluntary, and that the consideration given for this Release and Waiver is in

                                      EXHIBIT C

                                CONSULTING AGREEMENT

     THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
effective as of ___________, 2000 by and between CARABUNGA.COM, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and JAMES K. ROCHE ("Consultant").

     A.   The Company provides consulting, marketing and database management
services to automobile dealerships and manufacturers;

     B.   Consultant is the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
of the Company pursuant to an employment agreement dated as of the date
hereof (the "Employment Agreement"); and

     C.   Because of Consultant's intimate knowledge of the business of the
Company, the Company desires the option to engage the services of Consultant,
and Consultant desires to be so engaged, upon notice of termination of
employment pursuant to the Employment Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above facts and the mutual
promises set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   SERVICES.  In the event Consultant's employment under the
Employment Agreement is terminated, by either the Company or by Consultant,
for any reason other than death or disability, then, the Company shall have
the option to engage Consultant to perform the services and undertake the
duties and responsibilities set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and
incorporated herein (collectively, the "Services") for a period of twelve
months from the date on which Consultant's employment with the Company is
terminated.  The Company agrees to notify the Executive of its decision
within fourteen (14) days of the date of termination of Executive's
employment.   Consultant agrees to render the Services under the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     2.   TERM.  The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence upon
the date Consultant's employment with the Company is terminated and shall
remain in full force and effect for a period of twelve (12) months or until
either party terminates the Agreement upon thirty days written notice to the
other party.  In the event the Company does not elect to engage Consultant
within fourteen (14) days of the date of termination of Consultant's
employment, then this Agreement shall have no effect and shall not be binding
upon either the Company or upon Consultant.

     3.   CONSULTING FEES.  As payment for the Services, Consultant shall
receive payment as set forth in Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated
herein, which shall constitute complete payment for the Services.  In the
event Consultant's employment with the Company is terminated for Cause or
Without Good Reason, then the Company shall be entitled to set off against
the consulting fees any other income Consultant receives during the Term from
other employment or from contracting engagements with any entity other than
the Company. Consultant agrees to immediately inform the Company of any other
such income he earns during the Term.

<PAGE>

     4.   NO OTHER BENEFITS.  During the Term, Consultant shall not be
entitled to any other compensation or benefits, including benefits provided
generally to employees of the Company, and Consultant's compensation shall
not be subject to withholding, unless, in the Company's view, withholding is
required by applicable law.

     5.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  In connection with the performance of
Services hereunder, Consultant may become familiar with trade secrets and
confidential information of the Company (which shall include all trade
secrets and work product resulting from Consultant's provision of the
Services to the Company), which derive independent economic value, actual or
potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons
who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use ("Confidential
Information").  Except as may be reasonably necessary while providing the
Services, Consultant agrees that, during the Term of this Agreement and
thereafter, Consultant and any agents and employees of Consultant will not
disclose or utilize any of the Confidential Information (including without
limitation details regarding the Company's services, plans for new services,
supplier and customer information and relationships, information regarding
the Company's employees, and business and financial information relating to
the actual or planned business, products, practices and techniques of the
Company) to which Consultant has been privy, unless Consultant becomes
legally required to disclose any such Confidential Information, in which
event Consultant shall provide the Company with prompt notice thereof so that
the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.  Upon
the termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall deliver to the Company
all equipment, notes, documents, memoranda, reports, files, books,
correspondence, lists or other written or graphic records and the like
belonging to the Company which are or have been in Consultant's possession or
control.

     6.   PRESERVATION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; NONCOMPETITION.

          Consultant agrees that in order to protect the Confidential
Information of the Company and in consideration of the fees receives
hereunder and the Company's execution of the Employment Agreement, during the
Term of this Agreement, Consultant shall not engage as an advisor, principal,
agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, member of any
association or otherwise in any business or activity conducted within the
United States or Canada which:

          6.1  is substantially similar to any business or activity of the
Company as the same is conducted or proposed to be conducted (as evidenced by
a written plan) by the Company as of the first day of the Term; or

          6.2  is competitive with any business or activity of the Company as
the same is conducted or proposed to be conducted (as evidenced by a written
plan) by the Company on the first day of the Term.

     7.   CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES.  Consultant agrees that during the Term
and for a period of one year thereafter, he will not solicit or cause to be
solicited (i) any of the existing customers of the Company for purposes of
obtaining their custom or trade for a business which is competitive with the
business which is conducted by the Company as of the Notice Date or

<PAGE>

during the Term, or (ii) any of the existing employees of the Company for
purposes of obtaining their employment services.

     8.   SEVERABILITY.  To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall
be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted
herefrom and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be
unaffected, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of this
Agreement in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or
geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of
this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under
applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only the
duration, extent or activities which may validly and enforceably be covered.

     9.   REMEDIES.  In any event of a breach of Consultant's obligations
under this Agreement, Consultant agrees that (a) any and all proceeds, funds,
payments and proprietary interests, of every kind and description, arising
from, or attributable to, such breach shall be the sole and exclusive
property of the Company and (b) the Company shall be entitled to recover any
additional actual damages incurred as a result of such breach.

     10.  INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  Consultant understands and agrees that the
Company could not be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an
action at law for Consultant's breach of his obligations under this
Agreement.  Accordingly, Consultant specifically agrees that the Company
shall be entitled to an injunction enjoining Consultant or any person or
persons acting for or with Consultant in any capacity whatsoever from
violating any of the terms herein. This provision with respect to injunctive
relief shall not diminish the right of the Company to claim and recover
damages pursuant to Section 9 in addition to injunctive relief.

     11.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Consultant represents and warrants
that (a) Consultant is not restricted or prohibited, contractually or
otherwise, from entering into and performing each of the terms and covenants
contained in this Agreement, and (b) Consultant's execution and performance
of this Agreement is not a violation or breach of any other agreement to
which Consultant is a party.

     12.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement is made in San Diego, California and
shall be interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of
California.

     13.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement and any agreements referenced
herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties and may be waived,
modified or amended only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.

     14.  ASSIGNMENT.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

assigned by the Company except in connection with a merger of the Company or
pursuant to the sale, transfer or other conveyance of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company.

     15.  WAIVER.  No covenant, term or condition of this Agreement or breach
thereof shall be deemed waived unless the waiver is in writing, signed by the
party against whom

enforcement is sought, and any waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant, term or
condition.

     16.  NOTICE.  All notices and other communications required or permitted

                                                                    Exhibit 10.1

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

         This Indemnification Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of this
4th day of February, 2000, by and between Quidel Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and [name of director and/or officer]
("Indemnitee"), a director and/or officer of the Company.

         WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty
in obtaining directors' and officers' liability insurance, the significant
increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the
coverage of such insurance; and

         WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial
increase in corporate litigation subjecting officers and directors to expensive
litigation risks at the same time that liability insurance has been severely
limited; and

         WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as
adequate given the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other officers and
directors of the Company may not be willing to serve as officers and directors
without adequate protection; and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of
highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as officers and
directors of the Company and to indemnify its officers and directors so as to
provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

         1.       INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an
officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if Indemnitee
acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee's
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did
not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's
conduct was unlawful.

<PAGE>

                  (b) PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. The Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, by
reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or
director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) and (if and to the extent permitted by
applicable law) amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other
court shall deem proper.

                  (c) MANDATORY PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. To the extent that
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 1 or the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

         2.       EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.

                  (a) ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company shall advance all
expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense,
settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
referenced in Section 1(a) or (b) hereof. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay
such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be
determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as
authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the
Company to Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written
request therefore by Indemnitee to the Company.

                  (b) NOTICE/COOPERATION BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give
the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against
Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to Quidel Corporation, 10165
McKellar Court, San Diego, California 92121 (Attn: Corporate Secretary) (or such
other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). Notice
shall be deemed received on the third business day after the date postmarked if
sent by domestic certified or registered mail, properly addressed; otherwise
notice shall be deemed received when such notice shall actually be received by
the Company. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and
cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's
power.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  (c) PROCEDURE. Any indemnification and advances provided for
in Section 1 and this Section 2 shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days
after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this
Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification, is not
paid in full by the Company within forty-five (45) days after a written request
for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but
need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 12 of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including
attorneys' fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such
action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct which makes it
permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the
amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company
and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of expenses
pursuant to Subsection 2(a) unless and until such defense may be finally
adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right or appeal
exists. It is the parties' intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee's
right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee's right to indemnification
shall be for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company
(including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by
applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board
of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not
met the applicable standard of conduct.

                  (d) NOTICE TO INSURERS. If, at the time of the receipt of a
notice of a claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company has director and
officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of
the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter
take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf
of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in
accordance with the terms of such policies.

                  (e) SELECTION OF COUNSEL. In the event the Company shall be
obligated under Section 2(a) hereof to pay the expenses of any proceeding
against Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such
proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee
of written notice of the assumption of such defense. After delivery of such
notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel
by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with
respect to the same proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the
right to employ his counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee's expense; and
(ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously
authorized the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the
conduct of any such defense or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed
counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of
Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         3.       ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS; NON-EXCLUSIVITY.

                  (a) SCOPE. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest
extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not
specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute. In the event
of any changes, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law,
statute, or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify
a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes shall be, IPSO
FACTO, within the purview of Indemnitee's rights and the Company's obligations
under this Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute,
or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member
of its board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not
otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement
shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations
hereunder.

                  (b) NONEXCLUSIVITY. The indemnification provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which an Indemnitee may
be entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any
agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, both as to action in
Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall
continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an
indemnified capacity even though he may have ceased to serve in such capacity at
the time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding.

         4. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably
incurred by him in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount
thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of
such expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

         5. MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
that in certain instances, Federal law or public policy may override applicable
state law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers
under this Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Company and Indemnitee
acknowledge that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has taken
the position that indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising
under certain federal securities laws, and federal legislation prohibits
indemnification for certain ERISA violations. Indemnitee understands and
acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to
undertake with the SEC to submit the question of indemnification to a court in
certain circumstances for a determination of the Company's right under the
public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

         6. OFFICER AND DIRECTOR LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Company shall, from
time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable
for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with
reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors with coverage
for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company's performance of its
indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other considerations,
the company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against
the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of director and
officer liability

insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to
provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most
favorably insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of
the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an
officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to
obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that
such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such
insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the
coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance
maintained by a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

         7. SEVERABILITY. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in
violation of applicable law. The Company's inability, pursuant to court order,
to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of
this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided
in this Section 7. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated
on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance
of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

         8. EXCEPTIONS. Any other provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement:

                  (a) CLAIMS INITIATED BY INDEMNITEE. To indemnify or advance
expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or
brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect
to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under
this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, but such indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the
Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate;

                  (b) LACK OF GOOD FAITH. To indemnify Indemnitee for any
expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the
Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous;

                  (c) INSURED CLAIMS. To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or
liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which
have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of
officers' and directors' liability insurance maintained by the Company.

                  (d) CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 16(B). To indemnify Indemnitee for
expenses or the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by
Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

         9.       CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN PHRASES.

                  (a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the
"Company" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in
a consolidation or merger so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of
this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as
Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.

                  (b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to "other
enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall
include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee
benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Company" shall
include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer,
employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or
beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interest of the Company" as referred to in this
Agreement.

         10. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original.

         11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and Indemnitee's estate, heirs, legal representatives and assigns.

         12. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event that any action is instituted by
Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action,
unless as a part of such action, the court of competent jurisdiction determines
that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such
action were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In the event of an action
instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement or to enforce
or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
be paid all court costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by
Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect to Indemnitee's
counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such
action the court determines that each of Indemnitee's material defenses to such
action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.

         13. NOTICE. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if
delivered by hand and receipted for by the party addressed, on the date of such
receipt, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage
prepaid, on the third business day after the date

         14. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware
for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of
or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this
Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of Delaware.

         15. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and its
provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as
applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed
entirely within Delaware.

         16. SUPERSEDING AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes and replaces any
and all other prior indemnification agreements in place between the parties.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the date first above written.
