herein. "Expansion Space A" is the part of the building known as 220 Penobscot
Drive, Redwood City, California, also known as Building 4 of Phase 1 of the
Project known as Seaport Centre, which Expansion Space A is shown on Exhibit A
to this Amendment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Expansion Space A is
conclusively presumed to be 16,714 square feet of Rentable Area.

adequately tendered to Tenant by Landlord either delivering the keys (or other
means of access) to Tenant or Tenant's Broker, or by Landlord giving written
notice that the keys (or other means of access) to Expansion Space A are
available for Tenant or its representative to pick up at the office of Landlord
or of the Property Manager of Seaport Centre. The date Landlord tenders
possession of Expansion Space A to Tenant shall be the Expansion Delivery Date
and thereupon Tenant's possession of the space shall be subject to all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including any amounts payable
under the Lease, except that Monthly Base Rent shall not be payable by Tenant

Landlord Work, if any. The ESACD shall be April 1, 1999. The Expansion
Space Term shall expire the last day of the thirty-sixth (36") month after the

<PAGE>
(d) Delay in Delivery. If Landlord does not obtain and tender possession
-----------------
of Expansion Space A by March 1, by reason of the following: (i) the holding
over or retention of possession of any tenant, tenants or occupants, or (ii) for
any other reason, then Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for the
failure to give possession on said date. Under such circumstances the Delivery
Date and the ESACD shall be delayed by a number of days equal to the days of
delay in Landlord's delivery of possession to Tenant. No such failure to give
possession shall affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of the
Tenant hereunder. Within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of the ESACD,
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement (which is attached to this
Amendment as Exhibit B) confirming the ESACD and the Expansion Space Term
---------
Expiration Date. If Tenant fails to enter into such agreement, then the ESACD
and the Expansion Space Term Expiration Date shall be the dates designated by
Landlord in such agreement.
(e) Tenant Work Generally. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that
---------------------
notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary: (i) Tenant may
desire to do certain remodeling, repair, improvement or alteration in connection
with its initial occupancy, which for purposes of this Lease is referred to as
the Tenant Work; (ii) all Tenant Work, if any, shall be done as Tenant
Alterations within the meaning of Article Nine of the Lease, subject to and in
compliance with all conditions and provisions of the Lease applicable to Tenant
Alterations, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment; (iii)
without limiting the generality of any provisions of Article Nine, Tenants
selection of Tenant's space planner and/or architect and Tenant's selection of
contractor(s) shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which shall
not unreasonably be withheld; (iv) Tenant shall not be required to obtain a
completion and lien indemnity bond for the Tenant Work; (v) such work, including

Mylar's and digitized plans and specifications upon completion to the extent
such work is more than recarpeting and/or repainting), and (vi) Tenant shall pay

required to pay a fee for review or monitoring of the design or construction of
the Tenant Work.
(f) Design & Construction Responsibility for any Tenant Work. Tenant shall

be responsible for the suitability for the Tenants needs and business of the
design and function of all Tenant Work and for its construction in compliance
with all Law as applicable and as interpreted at the time of construction of the

Tenant, through its architects and/or space planners ("Tenants Architect"),
shall prepare all architectural plans and specifications, and engineering plans
and specifications, for the real property improvements to be constructed by
Tenant in the Premises in sufficient detail to be submitted for approval by
Landlord to the extent required pursuant to Article Nine of the

permits and to serve as the detailed construction drawings and specifications
for the contractor, and shall include, among other things, all partitions,
doors, heating, ventilating and air conditioning installation and distribution,

as-is condition of the Premises as of the date of execution of the Lease. Tenant
shall be responsible for the oversight, supervision and construction of all
Tenant Work in compliance with this Lease, including compliance with all Law as
applicable and as interpreted at the time of construction, including all
building codes and the ADA.
(g) Monthly Base Rent for Expansion Space A. Notwithstanding any provision
--------------------------------------
of the Lease to the contrary, in addition to rent payable for the Original
Premises, the amount of Monthly Base Rent due and payable by Tenant for
Expansion Space A on and after the ESACD and monthly in advance on the first day
of each month thereafter for the Expansion Space Term shall be as follows:
<CAPTION>
Period from/to Monthly Monthly Rate/SF of Rentable Area
Month 01 - 12 $38,442.20 $2.30
Month 13 - 24 $39,595.46 $2.369

Tenant's respective shares of the respective categories of Operating Expenses
are currently estimated for the year 1999 to be, in the aggregate, Seven
Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty-four Dollars and Sixteen Cents ($7,354.16) per
month (which equals Forty-four Cents [$0.44] per month per square foot of
Rentable Area.)
<PAGE>
(i) Parking. On and after the ESACD during the Expansion Space Term,
-------
Tenant shall have the right to use, in accordance with Section 2.06(c) and other

(j) Signage. Any signage with respect to Expansion Space A shall be in
-------
accordance with Section 6.06 and other applicable terms of the Lease.
Section 5. Option to Extend Expansion Space Term.
--------- -------------------------------------
(a) Landlord hereby grants Tenant an option to extend the initial
Expansion Space Term for an additional period which expires on the Expiration
Date of the Term of the Lease of the Original Premises (such period may be
referred to as the "Expansion Option Term"), as to the entire Expansion Space A
as it may then exist, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section (the "Expansion Option to Extend"), and provided that at the time of
exercise of such right: (i) Tenant must be in occupancy of the entire Expansion
Space A; and (ii) there has been no material adverse change in Tenant's
financial position from such position as of the date of execution of the Lease,
as certified by Tenant's independent certified public accountants, and as
supported by Tenant's certified financial statements, copies of which shall be
delivered to Landlord with Tenant's written notice exercising its right
hereunder. If the Expansion Space Term is extended pursuant to this Expansion
Option to Extend, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that then Expansion
Space A will be part of the Premises and the Option to Extend set forth in Rider
2 of the Lease applies to the entire Premises (and not less than the entire
Premises), including Expansion Space A, as the Premises then exists.
(b) Tenant's election (the "Election Notice") to exercise the Expansion
Option to Extend must be given to Landlord in writing no earlier than the date
which is twelve months (12) months before the Expansion Space Term Expiration
Date and no later than the date which is nine months (9) before the Expansion
Space Term Expiration Date. If Tenant either fails or elects not to exercise its
Expansion Option to Extend by not timely giving its Election Notice, then the
Expansion Option to Extend shall be null and void.
(c) The Expansion Option Term shall commence immediately after the
expiration of the initial Expansion Space Term. Tenant's leasing of the
Expansion Space A during the Expansion Option Term shall be upon and subject to
the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except that (i) the Monthly
Base Rent plus payment of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses applicable to the
Expansion Space pursuant to the Lease (in addition to all expenses paid directly
by Tenant to the utility or service provider, which direct payments shall
continue to be Tenant's obligation) shall be amended to equal the "Expansion
Option Term Rent", defined and determined in the manner set forth in the
immediately following Subsection; (ii) the Security Deposit, if
<PAGE>
any, shall be increased within fifteen (15) days after the Prevailing Market
Rent has been determined to equal one hundred percent (100%) of the increase, if
any, in the monthly installment of Monthly Base Rent hereunder for Expansion
Space A, but in no event shall the Security Deposit be decreased; (iii) Tenant
shall accept Expansion Space A in its "AS-IS" condition without any obligation
of Landlord to repaint, remodel, repair, improve or alter the Expansion Space A
or to provide Tenant any allowance therefor. If Tenant timely and properly
exercises the Expansion Option to Extend, references in the Lease to the
Expansion Space Term shall be deemed to mean the initial Expansion Space Term as
extended by the Expansion Option Term unless the context clearly requires
otherwise.
(d) The Expansion Option Term Rent shall mean the greater of (i) the
Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant for Expansion Space A under this Lease
calculated at the rate applicable for the last full month of the initial
Expansion Space Term, plus payment of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses
pursuant to the Lease (in addition to all expenses paid directly by Tenant to
the utility or service provider, which direct payments shall continue to be
Tenant's obligation) (collectively, "Preceding Rent") or (ii) the "Prevailing
Market Rent". As used in this Amendment Prevailing Market Rent shall mean the
rent and all other monetary payments, escalations and triple net payables by
Tenant, including consumer price increases, that Landlord could obtain from a
third party desiring to lease Expansion Space A for a term equal to the
Expansion Option Term and commencing when the Expansion Option Term is to
commence under market leasing conditions, and taking into account the following:
the size, location and floor levels of the Expansion Space A; the type and
quality of tenant improvements; age and location of the Project; quality of
construction of the Project; services to be provided by Landlord or by tenant;
the rent, all other monetary payments and escalations obtainable for new leases
of space comparable to Expansion Space A in the Project and in comparable
buildings in the mid-Peninsula area, and other factors that would be relevant to
such a third party in determining what such party would be willing to pay
thereon, provided, however, that Prevailing Market Rent shall be determined
without reduction or adjustment for "Tenant Concessions" (as defined below), if
any, being offered to prospective new tenants of comparable space. For purposes
of the preceding sentence, the term "tenant concessions" shall include, without
limitation, so-called free rent, tenant improvement allowances and work, moving
allowances, and lease takeovers. The determination of Prevailing Market Rent
based upon the foregoing criteria shall be made by Landlord in the good faith
exercise of Landlord's business judgment. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's
exercise of the Expansion Option to Extend, Landlord shall notify Tenant of
Landlord's determination of Expansion Option Term Rent for Expansion Space A. If
Landlord's determination of Prevailing Market Rent is greater than the Preceding
Rent, and If Tenant, in Tenant's sole discretion, disagrees with the amount of
Prevailing Market Rent determined by Landlord, Tenant may elect to revoke and
rescind the exercise of the Expansion Option to Extend by giving written notice
thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after notice of Landlord's
determination of Prevailing Market Rent.
<PAGE>
(e) This Expansion Option to Extend is personal to Maxygen, Inc. and
may not be used by, and shall not be transferable or assignable (voluntarily or
involuntarily) to any person or entity except for a Tenant Affiliate.
(f) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord shall
have the option, exercisable at any time prior to commencement of the Expansion
Option Term, to terminate all of the provisions of this Section with respect to
the Expansion Option to Extend, with the effect of canceling and voiding any
prior or subsequent exercise so this Expansion Option to Extend is of no force
or effect:
(i) Tenant's failure to timely exercise the Expansion Option to
Extend in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(ii) The existence at the time Tenant exercises the Expansion Option
to Extend or at the commencement of the Expansion Option Term of any default on
the part of Tenant under the Lease or of any state of facts which with the
passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a
default.
(iii) Tenants third default under the Lease prior to the commencement
of the Expansion Option Term, notwithstanding that all such defaults may
subsequently be cured.
(g) Without limiting the generality of any provision of the Lease, time
shall be of the essence with respect to all of the provisions of this Section.
Section 6. Time of Essence. Without limiting the generality of any
--------- ---------------
other provision of the Lease, time is of the essence to each and every term and
condition of this Amendment
Section 7. Brokers. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease
--------- -------
to the contrary, Tenant represents that except for CB Richard Ellis, Inc.
("Tenants Broker"), Tenant has not dealt with any real estate broker, sales
person, or finder in connection with this Lease, and no such person initiated or
participated in the negotiation of this Amendment, or showed the Premises to
Tenant. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord and
the Indemnities (as defined in the Lease), harmless from and against any and all
liabilities and claims for commissions and fees arising out of a breach of the
foregoing representation. Landlord agrees to pay any commission to which Cornish
& Carey ("Landlord's Broker") is entitled in connection with this Amendment
pursuant to Landlord's written agreement with such broker. Landlord and Tenant
agree that any commission payable to Tenant's Broker shall be paid by Tenant
except to the extent Tenants Broker and Landlord's Broker have entered into a
separate
<PAGE>
agreement between themselves to share the commission paid to Landlord's Broker
by Landlord.
Section 8. Attorneys' Fees. Each party to this Amendment shall bear
--------- ---------------
its own attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the discussions
preceding, negotiations for and documentation of this Amendment. In the event
any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter
or enforcement of this Amendment, the prevailing party (as determined by the
court agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is
commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be
entitled to recover attorneys' fees, expenses and costs of investigation as
actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and
expenses of investigation, and all attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in any
such suit or proceeding (including in any action or participation in or in
connection with any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United
States Code Sections 101 et seq., or any successor statutes, in establishing or
enforcing the right to indemnification, in appellate proceedings, or in
connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any
such suit or proceeding).

shall remain in full force and effect. Should any inconsistency arise between
this Amendment and the Lease as to the specific matters which are the subject of
this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control. This
Amendment shall be construed to be part of the Lease and shall be deemed
