MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT

LESSOR: CITICORP VENDOR FINANCE, INC.

LESSEE: VIROLOGIC, INC.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LEASE


1. LEASE OF EQUIPMENT.

A. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the
equipment described in one or more equipment schedules (the "Schedule"), that
may hereafter be executed by Lessor and Lessee (the equipment, together with all
replacement parts, repairs, additions, substitutions and accessories shall be
referred to as the "Equipment") on the terms and conditions contained in this
Lease ("Lease") and in any Schedule. This Lease and each of the terms and
conditions herein contained will be incorporated into each Schedule in full to
the same extent as if each of the terms and conditions had been repeated and set
forth in full therein, and this Master Lease Agreement shall control and be
effective as to all such Schedules except to the extent that the Master Lease
Agreement shall control and be effective as to all such Schedules except to the
extent that the Master Lease Agreement may be inconsistent with the terms and
provisions of such Schedule, in which event the terms and provisions of such
Schedule shall prevail. Each Schedule shall constitute a separate lease and a
distinct and independent obligation of the Lessee. The parties intend this Lease
to be a "Finance Lease" under Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code.

B. Acceptance by Lessor shall occur only as set forth in this Section 1 and
shall continue in force with respect to all items of Equipment for the Initial
Term specified in each Schedule. Lessee agrees promptly to date, execute and
deliver to Lessor, upon delivery to Lessee of the first item of Equipment listed
on a Schedule, a confirmation of delivery on Lessor's Equipment Acceptance
Certificate ("Receipt") substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
If Lessee does not, for any reason, date, execute and deliver to Lessor the
Receipt, within ten days after delivery of such item of Equipment, Lessee hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Lessor as its attorney-in-fact to execute the Receipt
on Lessee's behalf and to insert the date that the Equipment was delivered to
Lessee.

2. ORDER AND DELIVERY OF EQUIPMENT; LESSOR'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Lessee hereby
requests Lessor to order the Equipment from the Supplier named on the Schedule
and to arrange for delivery of the Equipment to Lessee at Lessee's expense, and
to lease the Equipment to Lessee. If the Equipment is not delivered to and
accepted by Lessee in form satisfactory to Lessor, within ninety (90) days from
the date Lessor orders the Equipment, Lessor may terminate the applicable
Schedule and its obligations thereunder. Lessee waives any requirement of Lessor
to furnish Lessee a copy of Lessor's purchase order for the Equipment.

3. TERM AND RENT

A. The initial term ("Initial Term") of any Schedule to which this Lease relates
shall commence on the day the first item of Equipment listed on such Schedule is
delivered to Lessee or Lessee's representative (the "Commencement Date") and
shall be of such duration as is prescribed in such Schedule. Advance Rent and
any Security Deposit as provided in any Schedule shall be payable upon the
execution of this Lease or the applicable Schedule. Interim rent shall be
payable for the period between the Commencement Date and the first day of the
month following the Commencement Date at a daily rate equal to the periodic
rental provided in any Schedule divided by the number of days in the period and
subsequent payments shall be due periodically in advance on the first day of
each successive period thereafter until all rent and other sums chargeable to
Lessee hereunder are paid in full. LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT AND LESSEE'S
OTHER MONETARY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER ARE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL AND ARE NOT
SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, SET-OFF, DEFENSE OR COUNTERCLAIM FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER. Any Security Deposit shall secure all obligations of Lessee
hereunder and may be applied at Lessor's discretion to any past obligation of
Lessee and to the extent not applied shall be returned to Lessee, without
interest, at the expiration of this Lease or the applicable Schedule.

All payments of rent shall be made to Lessor at the address set forth herein or
such other address as Lessor shall designate in writing.

B. Whenever any payment is not made by Lessee when due hereunder, Lessee agrees
to pay to Lessor, not later than one month thereafter as an administrative
charge to offset Lessor's collection expenses an amount calculated at the rate
of ten cents per one dollar for each such delayed payment, plus interest on all
monies due Lessor from and after the date same is due at the rate of one and
one-third (1-1/3%) percent per month until paid, but as to each of the foregoing
in no event more than the maximum rate permitted by law.

C. As used herein, "Actual Cost" means the cost to Lessor of purchasing and
delivering the Equipment to Lessee, including taxes, transportation and other
charges. The amount of each rent payment and the Security Deposit set forth in
the applicable Schedule are based on the total cost set forth in Lessor's
purchase order for the Equipment ("Estimated Cost"), which is an estimate, and
shall be adjusted proportionately if the Actual Cost of the Equipment is greater
than said estimate. Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to adjust upward the amounts
set forth in the Schedule when the Actual Cost is known and to add to the amount
of each rent payment any sales, use or leasing tax that may be imposed on or
measured by the rent payment. Lessor will inform Lessee of the adjustments
necessary to reflect Actual Cost. If the Actual Cost of the Equipment on any
Schedule exceeds the Estimated Cost by more than ten (10%) percent thereof
(exclusive of taxes), Lessor shall, if it desires to add to the Estimated Cost
an amount in excess of 10% of Estimated Cost, so notify Lessee in writing.
Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Lessee at its option may terminate the
relevant Schedule by giving notice to Lessor of its intention to do so,
effective the day of such notice, subject however to the provisions of Section
3.A hereof.

D. If, at any time prior to acceptance of the Equipment leased hereunder, Lessor
makes a general pricing increase with respect to new leases (including increases
reflecting increases in financing costs or operating expenses) and desires that
such increase be reflected in the rent to be charged to Lessee under the
Schedule relating to such Equipment, then Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of
such increase ("Increase Notification"). If such increase is in excess of ten
(10%) percent of the amount of the rent payment, Lessee at its option may
terminate the relevant Schedule; provided, however, that Lessor must be
notified, within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Increase Notification,
of Lessee's intention to do so, effective the day of such notice to Lessor. If
any increase under this Section 3.D is not in excess of ten (10%) of the rent
payment, or if Lessor is not notified of Lessee's intention to terminate the
relevant Schedule within the fifteen (15) day period set forth herein, then the
relevant Schedule shall be automatically adjusted to the new higher rent
payment.

4. NO WARRANTIES BY LESSOR, DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND WAIVER OF
DEFENSES. LESSOR IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER OF OR A DEALER IN THE
EQUIPMENT, AND MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, TO ANYONE, AS TO THE
SUITABILITY, DURABILITY, DESIGN, CONDITION, CAPACITY, PERFORMANCE OR ANY OTHER
ASPECT OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP. LESSOR FURTHER DISCLAIMS
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT INCLUDING THE
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR USE OR PURPOSE. AS TO LESSOR AND ITS
ASSIGNS, LESSEE LEASES THE EQUIPMENT "AS IS." LESSEE REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS
SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT AND THE SUPPLIER AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LESSOR HAS NOT
RECOMMENDED THE SUPPLIER. LESSOR SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO INSTALL, MAINTAIN,
ERECT, TEST, ADJUST, OR SERVICE THE EQUIPMENT, ALL OF WHICH LESSEE SHALL
PERFORM, OR CAUSE THE SAME TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED THIRD PARTIES. LESSOR
AND LESSOR'S ASSIGNEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO LESSEE OR OTHERS FOR ANY LOSS,
DAMAGE OR EXPENSE OF ANY KIND OR NATURE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY ANY
EQUIPMENT HOWEVER ARISING, OR THE USE OR MAINTENANCE THEREOF OR THE FAILURE OF
OPERATION THEREOF, OR THE REPAIRS, SERVICE OR ADJUSTMENT THERETO. NO
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER BY THE
SUPPLIER OR OTHERS SHALL BE BINDING ON THE LESSOR NOR SHALL THE BREACH OF SUCH
RELIEVE LESSEE OF, OR IN ANY WAY AFFECT, ANY OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS TO LESSOR
HEREIN. IF THE EQUIPMENT IS UNSATISFACTORY FOR ANY REASON, LESSEE SHALL MAKE
CLAIM ON ACCOUNT THEREOF SOLELY AGAINST

SUPPLIER, AND ANY OF SUPPLIER'S VENDORS, AND SHALL NEVERTHELESS PAY LESSOR ALL
RENT AND OTHER SUMS PAYABLE UNDER THIS LEASE. LESSOR HEREBY ASSIGNS TO LESSEE,
SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROSECUTING SUCH A CLAIM, ANY OF THE RIGHTS WHICH
LESSOR MAY HAVE AGAINST SUPPLIER AND SUPPLIER'S VENDORS FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY
OR OTHER REPRESENTATIONS RESPECTING THE EQUIPMENT. REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, LESSEE
WILL NOT ASSERT ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST LESSOR FOR LOSS OF ANTICIPATORY
PROFITS OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, NOR SHALL
LESSOR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR COSTS WHICH MAY BE ASSESSED AGAINST
LESSEE IN ANY ACTION FOR INFRINGEMENT. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE
TREATMENT OF THIS LEASE FOR TAX OR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FEES
WHICH MAY BE PAID BY LESSOR TO SUPPLIER OR ANY AGENT OF SUPPLIER, LESSEE
UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT NEITHER SUPPLIER NOR ANY AGENT OF SUPPLIER IS AN
AGENT OF LESSOR OR IS AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERM OF CONDITION OF THIS
LEASE.

5. JURISDICTION AND VENUE. LESSEE CONSENTS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE
FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION
