Event of Default now existing or hereafter arising under Section 6.01(e) of the Credit Agreement resulting from a default under Section 4.03 of the Indenture under which the Senior Subordinated Debt was issued; provided, however, that the
exercise by the Trustee or the requisite holders of Senior Subordinated Notes of their right to give a notice of acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 of such Indenture by reason of the existence of such default under Section 4.03 of the Indenture
shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. 
  
 SECTION 3.
Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Amendment No. 8 Effective Date”) when each of the conditions set forth in this Section 3 to this Amendment shall have been fulfilled
to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (i) Execution of Counterparts. The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each of (a) the Borrowers, (b) the Administrative Agent and (c) the Required

the date hereof, after giving effect to this Amendment No. 8, (i) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the effectiveness of this Amendment No. 8, that constitutes a Default and (ii) all representations and warranties set

 4 

 (b) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Borrowers of this Amendment No. 8 and by the Guarantors and the Grantors of the consent attached hereto or other
transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 (c) This
Amendment No. 8 has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers. The consent attached hereto has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Guarantors and the Grantors. This Amendment No. 8 and each of the other Loan Documents, as amended
hereby, to which each Borrower, each Guarantor and each Grantor is a party are legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower, such Guarantor and such Grantor, as applicable, enforceable against such Borrower, such Guarantor and such Grantor,
as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms. 
  
 SECTION 5. Reference to and Effect on the Transaction Documents. (a) On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import
referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other transaction documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a
reference to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment. 
  
 (b) The Credit Agreement, the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and
confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each
case as amended by this Amendment. 
  
 (c) The
execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or any Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any
provision of any of the Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 6.
Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and shall be subject to the jurisdictional and service provisions of the Credit Agreement, as if this were a part of the Credit Agreement.

the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, there being no 

  

 5 

 
other agreements or understandings, oral, written or otherwise, respecting such subject matter, any such agreement or understanding being superseded hereby,
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and may not be amended, extended or otherwise modified, except in a writing executed in whole or in counterparts by each party hereto.

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 [LOGO OF MAXYGEN] 
 MEMORANDUM 
  

			
	TO:	  	ELLIOT GOLDSTEIN
		
	FROM:	  	SIMBA GILL
		
	CC:	  	RUSSELL HOWARD, MARC KETZEL
		
	SUBJECT:	  	INTERNATIONAL TAX ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT
		
	DATE:	  	MARCH 21, 2005

  
 Elliot, as previously communicated, we
have been working on potential solutions to address your 2006 remuneration and the impact of higher Denmark tax rates that become effective three years after an expatriate begins working in Denmark. 
  
 This memo provides you with the specifics of our agreement to provide you with international
tax assistance. 
  
 Based on the E&Y analysis of effective tax rates, we will
provide you with additional income that is designed to allow you to maintain your current effective tax rate under the expatriate tax regime. The total tax assistance payments you will be eligible to receive for the 12 months beginning in February
2006 will be DKK 1,492,138. 
  
 Rather than complete ongoing tax assistance
calculations, based on your projected international tax situation we will make the tax assistance payments to you in three installments. An initial payment of DKK 492,406 will be made to you in January 2006 to cover the period of February to July
2006. A second payment of DKK 499,866 will be made in August to cover the period of August to October 2006. The third payment of DKK 499,866 will be made in November to cover the period of November 2006 through January 2007. 
  
 The tax assistance payments to you will be made via the Denmark payroll and will be subject
to DK taxation. The tax assistance will remain in place, assuming you remain employed with Maxygen on the scheduled payment dates.
