WHEREAS, the
Company granted Employee options to purchase the Company's common stock (the "Options")
under one or several of the Company's stock option plans (the "Plans")
and each such Option is evidenced by an option agreement executed by Employee
and the Company (the "Stock Option Agreements");

WHEREAS, the Company has elected to
terminate the Employment Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1.5 thereunder,
effective as of March 25, 2005 (the "Termination Date");

WHEREAS, the Parties, and each of
them, wish to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances,
charges, actions, petitions and demands that either party may have against the
other, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising or in any way
related to Employee's employment with, or separation from, the Company;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of
the promises made herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

COVENANTS

1.         
Consideration.  Upon
the Effective Date (as defined in Section 24) of this Agreement, Employee will
be entitled to the following:

(a)     Base Salary.  In accordance with Section 2 of
the Employment Agreement, the Company agrees to pay Employee the remaining base
salary (at the rate described in Section 3.1.1 of the Employment Agreement)
through May 31, 2005, to be paid in one lump sum payment, less applicable
withholdings, payable within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date.

(b)     Severance Pay.  The
Company agrees to pay Employee severance pay in an amount equal to twenty-two
(22) months' base salary at the rate described in Section 3.1.1 of the Employment
Agreement.  Said severance payment shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after
the Effective Date in one lump sum payment, less applicable withholdings, of
this Agreement.   

(c)     Options.  Pursuant to Sections 2 and 3.1.3
of the Employment Agreement, any options previously granted to Employee that
were scheduled to vest prior to May 31, 2005 shall continue to so vest until
said date.  Thereafter, no additional unvested options shall continue to vest. 
Employee shall be entitled, for a period of three months following May 31, 2005 (i.e., until August 31, 2005), to exercise any previously vested options in
accordance with the terms of the Plans and the Stock Option Agreements. 
 

(d)      Cash Incentive Bonus.  In accordance with Sections 2 and
3.1.2 (including Attachment A) of the Employment Agreement, the Company agrees
to pay Employee thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) for completion of Phase 1
Dosing Study, as well as an additional sixty thousand dollars ($60,000),
representing payment for the remaining target milestones set forth in
Attachment A, to be paid in one lump sum payment, less applicable withholdings,
payable within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date.

(e)     Benefits.  The Company will continue to
provide Employee with the benefits (or cash equivalents in lieu thereof)
described in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of the Employment Agreement until May 31, 2005, including but not limited to vacation accrual and automobile allowance.  In
the event the Company elects to provide cash equivalent compensation in lieu of
providing any such benefits, payment shall be made in one lump sum no later
than June 15, 2005.  After May 31, 2005, to the extent not otherwise covered by
a prior employer, the Company will reimburse the premiums
otherwise payable by Employee and his eligible dependents
for health, dental and vision benefits coverage for up to three (3) months
beginning on May 31, 2005, or until he becomes eligible for group insurance
benefits from another employer, whichever comes first, provided Employee
elected continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), within the time period
prescribed under COBRA.  If Employee discontinues COBRA continuation coverage
or elects alternative coverage, a cash payment will not be provided in lieu of
the Company's payment of premiums above.  The Company
will not reimburse Employee for any taxable income imputed to Employee because
the Company has paid Employee's COBRA premiums or those of Employee's eligible
dependents.

(f)       Unreimbursed Expenses.  The Company will reimburse any
business expenses reasonably incurred in performing services for the Company
prior to the Termination Date.

(g)     Tax and Related Liabilities.  Employee shall be solely
responsible for any and all tax and related liabilities which may arise out of
the payments or benefits provided under this Agreement, and shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Company from and against any and all claims related thereto.

2.         
Confidential
Information and Company Property.  Employee will continue to maintain the confidentiality of
all confidential and proprietary information of the Company.  Employee will
return all of the Company's property and confidential and proprietary
information in his possession to the Company on the Effective Date of this
Agreement.  Employee shall submit his Company laptop computer for reformatting
by the Company, after which the Company shall return said computer to Employee,
who will then be entitled to retain it.  In addition, the Employee shall be
entitled to retain the cellular telephone provided by the Company.  

3.         
Payment in
Full.  Employee
acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid all salary, wages, cash
incentive bonuses of any kind, including but not limited to target milestone
payments or any other bonuses, accrued vacation, milestone payments and any and
all other benefits due to Employee once the above noted payments and benefits
are received.

-2-

4.          Release of Claims.  Employee agrees that the
foregoing consideration represents settlement in full of all outstanding
obligations owed to Employee by the Company and its officers, managers,
supervisors, agents and employees.  In consideration for the mutual covenants
contained in this Agreement, including but not limited to the severance
compensation provided hereunder, Employee and the Company, on behalf of
themselves, and their respective heirs, family members, executors, officers,
directors, employees, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates,
divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations, and assigns,
hereby fully and forever release each other and their respective heirs, family
members, executors, officers, directors, employees, investors, shareholders,
administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor
corporations and assigns, from, and agrees not to sue concerning, any claim,
duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind,
whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Employee may

and including the Effective Date including, without limitation:

(a)    
any and all
claims relating to or arising from Employee's agreement with the Company and
the termination of that agreement;

(b)    
any and all
claims relating to, or arising from, Employee's right to purchase, or actual
purchase of shares of stock of the Company, including, without limitation, any
claims for fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty
under applicable state corporate law, and securities fraud under any state or
federal law;

(c)    
any and all
claims under the law of any jurisdiction including, but not limited to,
wrongful discharge of employment, constructive discharge from employment,
termination in violation of public policy, discrimination, harassment,
retaliation, breach of contract, both express and implied, breach of a covenant
of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel,
negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent or
intentional misrepresentation, negligent or intentional interference with
contract or prospective economic advantage, unfair business practices,
defamation, libel, slander, negligence, personal injury, assault, battery,
invasion of privacy, false imprisonment, and conversion;

(d)    
any and all
claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal statute, including, but
not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act
of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement

Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; the California Fair Employment
and Housing Act, and the California Labor Code, including, but not limited to
Labor Code sections 1400-1408;

(e)    
any and all
claims for violation of the federal, or any state, constitution;

(f)      any and all
claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or

any claim for
any loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of any dispute over the

any and all
claims for attorneys' fees and costs.

Notwithstanding the releases provided above, the Company
agrees to indemnify employee for all claims, losses, damages, and expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees, arising from any good faith acts of
employee taken in the course and within the scope of his employment with the
Company prior to the Termination Date.

In the event Employee applies for unemployment insurance
benefits after May 31, 2005, the Company agrees that will not contest such
application, there being no valid known reason for Company to do so.

The Company and Employee agree that the release set forth in
this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete
general release as to the matters released.  This release does not extend to
any obligations incurred under this Agreement.

The parties acknowledge and
agree that any material breach of any provision of this Agreement will entitle
the non-breaching party to any legal or equitable remedies available to such
non-breaching party, including but not limited to the right to immediately to
recover and/or cease the severance benefits provided under this Agreement.

(a)     he should consult with an attorney prior
to executing this Agreement;

(b)     he has up to twenty-one (21) days
within which to consider this Agreement;

(c)     he has seven (7) days following his
execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement;

(d)     this Agreement will not be effective
until the revocation period has expired; and,

(e)     nothing in this Agreement prevents
or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith
of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition
precedent, penalties or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by
federal law.

compensation and benefits.   Said letter of recommendation shall be mutually

take away or hire employees of the Company, either for himself or any other
person or entity.

11.       No Admission.  No action taken by the Parties
hereto, or either of them, either previously or in connection with this

falsity of any claims heretofore made or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by
either party of any fault or liability whatsoever to the other party or to any
third party.

12.        No Knowledge
of Wrongdoing.

representation made herein by the indemnifying Party, or from any action or
proceeding which may be commenced, prosecuted or threatened by the indemnifying
Party or for such Party's benefit, upon such Party's initiative, or with such
Party's aid or approval, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement.  The
Parties further agree that in any such action or proceeding, this Agreement may
be pled by the either Party as a complete defense, or may be asserted by way of
counterclaim or cross-claim.   

-5-

15.        Arbitration.  The Parties agree that any and
all disputes arising out of, or relating to, the terms of this Agreement, their
interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, will be subject to
binding arbitration in Santa Barbara County before the American
Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of
Employment Disputes.  The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any
arbitration will be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent
jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award.  The Parties agree that the
prevailing party in any arbitration will be awarded its reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs.   

The
Parties hereby agree to waive their right to have any dispute between them
resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury.  This section will not prevent
either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy)
from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of
their dispute relating to Employee's obligations under this Agreement and the
agreements incorporated herein by reference.

16.        Authority.  The Company represents and
warrants that the undersigned has the authority to act on behalf of the Company
and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.  Employee represents and warrants that he has the
capacity to act on his own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through

warrants and represents that there are no liens or claims of lien or
assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or
causes of action released herein.

17.       No
Representations. 
Each party represents that it has had the opportunity to consult with an
attorney, and has carefully read and understands the scope and effect of the
provisions of this Agreement.  Neither party has relied upon any
representations or statements made by the other party hereto which are not
specifically set forth in this Agreement.

18.       Severability.  In the event that any provision
hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, unenforceable or void, then (a) the provision will be amended
automatically to the minimum extent necessary to cure the illegality or
invalidity and permit enforcement and (b) the remainder of this Agreement will
continue in full force and effect so long as the remaining provisions remain
intelligible and continue to reflect the original intent of the Parties.

19.       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement represents the entire agreement and
understanding between the Company and Employee concerning the subject matter of
this Agreement and Employee's relationship with the Company, and supersedes and
replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties
concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee's relationship
with the Company, with the exception of the Stock Option Agreements.

20.       No Waiver.  The failure of any party to
insist upon the performance of any of the terms and conditions in this
Agreement, or the failure to prosecute any breach of any of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, will not be construed thereafter as a waiver of
any such terms or conditions.  This entire Agreement will remain in full force
and effect as if no such forbearance or failure of performance had occurred.

21.       No Oral
Modification.  Any
modification or amendment of this Agreement, or additional obligation assumed
by either party in connection with this Agreement, will be effective only if
placed in writing and signed by both Parties or by authorized representatives
of each party.

22.        Governing Law.  This Agreement will be deemed to
have been executed and delivered within the State of California, and it will be
construed, interpreted, governed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.  To the
extent that either party seeks injunctive relief in any court having
jurisdiction for any claim relating to the alleged misuse or misappropriation
of trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information, each party hereby
consents to personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and
federal courts of the State of California.

-6-

23.        Attorneys'
Fees.  In the event
that either Party brings an action to enforce or effect its rights under this
Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs and
expenses, including the costs of mediation, arbitration, litigation, court
fees, plus reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such an
action.

24.        
Effective
Date.  This
Agreement is effective after it has been signed by both parties and after seven
(7) days have passed since Employee has signed the Agreement (the "Effective
Date"), unless revoked by Employee within seven (7) days after the date the
Agreement was signed by Employee.

25.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, and each counterpart will have the same force and effect as an
original and will constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of
each of the undersigned.

26.        
Voluntary
Execution of Agreement.  This Agreement is executed voluntarily and without any duress or
undue influence on the part or behalf of the Parties hereto, with the full
intent of releasing all claims.  The Parties acknowledge that:

Options to purchase common stock of the Company were granted
pursuant to the Company's Amended 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") at
a purchase price of $37.70, the closing selling price per share of the
Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant.  In
accordance with the Plan, each option has a maximum term of ten years and will
become exercisable for the option shares in four equal and successive annual
installments over the optionee's period of service with the Company, beginning
one year after the grant date.

With respect to the aforementioned grants, the Company's
form option agreement under the Plan was amended such that accelerated vesting
of options would not automatically occur upon a Change of Control (as such term
is defined in the Plan), but only upon and in the event of a second triggering
event: termination of the employee by the Company or resignation by the
employee for good reason within 12 months following any such Change of Control. 

Revised Executive Employment Agreements:  The following description sets
forth the material revisions to the standard executive employment agreements ("Agreements")
approved by the Committee:

	With respect to the provisions related to termination without
     cause or resignation for good reason, the approved modifications to the
     Agreements will provide for: 

	payment of full COBRA premiums for twenty-four (24)
      months following a termination;  
	severance compensation to be calculated as a flat 36
      months' severance, determined at the executive officer's then current
      rate of base pay; and
