Exhibit 2.2
AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
------------------
THIS IS AMENDMENT NO. 1 dated as of July 31, 2000 ("Amendment No. 1") to
the EXCHANGE AGREEMENT dated as of April 12, 2000 (the "Agreement") by and among
MAXYGEN, INC., a Delaware corporation, MAXYGEN HOLDINGS LTD., a Cayman Islands
corporation, PROFOUND PHARMA A/S, a Danish corporation, and the shareholders of
ProFound. Terms used in this Amendment No. 1 that begin with capital letters
and are not defined here have the meanings given them in the Agreement. Except
as provided otherwise in this Amendment No. 1, references here to sections and
exhibits are to sections and exhibits of the Agreement.
RECITALS
After the parties signed the Agreement, the ProFound Securityholders
submitted the application called for by Section 7.3(a) to the Danish Tax
Authority. The Danish Tax Authority responded explaining, in effect, that it
was not prepared to grant the ruling referenced in Section 7.3(a) if the
Put/Call Agreements or the Put Agreements, each as described in Section 10.8,
are signed or the puts and calls contemplated by those agreements are granted.
The parties to the Agreement continue to desire that Maxygen complete its
acquisition of ProFound and have revised the transaction structure to deleted
the put and call arrangements. The principal purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is
to memorialize those modifications.
ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Elimination of the Puts and Calls
The Put/Call Agreements and the Put Agreements are no longer part of the
transaction. The parties that would have signed those agreements will not grant
the puts and calls contemplated by the forms of those agreements (Exhibits 10.8A
and 10.8B) or grant any similar puts or calls. Accordingly: (a) Sections 9.18
and 10.8 are deleted; (b) the references to the Put/Call Agreements and to the
Put Agreements and to the puts and calls to which they relate, in Sections 7.14,
9.12 and 10.7, are deleted; (c) Exhibits
10.8A, 10.8B and 10.8C are deleted; and (d) the references to the Put/Call
Agreements and to the Put Agreements, in Exhibits 9.7 and 10.9, are deleted.
2. Additional Shares
(a) The number of shares set forth in Section 2.1(b) shall be 451,372
rather than 328,799.
(b) Exhibit 2.1(b) to the Agreement is replaced by Exhibit 2(b) to this
Amendment No. 1.
3. Registration Agreement
(a) In connection with the Closing, Maxygen, and Messrs. Hansen, Mikkelsen,
Halkier, Okkels, Pedersen, Schambye, Aunstrup, Braestrup and Xxxxxxxx (together
the "Class A Shareholders") shall sign a Registration Rights Agreement in the
form of Exhibit 3 to this Amendment No. 1 (the "Registration Rights Agreement").
(b) A new Section 9.18 is added to the Agreement. New Section 9.18 shall
read as follows:
"9.18 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
-----------------------------
The Class A Shareholders shall have signed the Registration Rights
Agreement."
(c) A new Section 10.8 is added to the Agreement. New Section 10.8 shall
read as follows:
"10.8 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
-----------------------------
Maxygen shall have signed the Registration Rights Agreement."
(d) The limitations imposed on the Class A Shareholders by Section 7.14
shall not limit their rights under the Registration Rights Agreement. Moreover,
although the Class A Shareholders shall comply with all applicable securities
laws including Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 under the United States Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for 60 days after the effective date of the
registration statement filed in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Class A Stockholders shall not be required to comply with Section
7.13 to the extent Section 7.13 would impose stricter limitations on any sales
of any of the shares registered in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement. Such 60-day period shall be tolled to the extent the
registration statement is suspended pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Registration
Rights Agreement or otherwise.
(e) The legal opinions called for by Sections 9.7 and 10.9 and summarized
in Exhibits 9.7 and 10.9 shall be expanded to cover the Registration Rights
Agreement and shall delete references to the Put Agreements and the Put/Call
Agreements.
4. The Lock-Up Agreements
The forms of Lock-Up Agreements constituting Exhibits 7.12A and 7.12B are
replaced by the forms of Lock-Up Agreements constituting Exhibits 4A and 4B to
this Amendment No. 1.
5. The Employment Agreements
The employment agreements constituting Exhibit 7.9 are replaced by the
employment agreements constituting Exhibit 5 to this Amendment No. 1.
6. Tax Matters
With the assistance of ProFound, the ProFound Securityholders shall jointly
prepare and file, within five days after the date of this Amendment No. 1, a
supplemental application to the Danish Tax Authority seeking the ruling
referenced in Section 7.3(a). The purpose of the supplemental application will
be to communicate the tax-relevant changes to the original Agreement that are
effected by this Amendment No. 1. The supplemental application shall be
submitted to Maxygen, at least two days before it is filed with the Danish Tax
Authority, for Maxygen's review and comment. All the other rules set forth in
Section 7.3(a) respecting the original tax application shall also apply to the
supplemental application.
7. Extension of Certain Dates
(a) The language preceding the colon in the first sentence of Section 7.8
is replaced by this language:

Danish Tax Authority denies the tax application referenced in Section
7.3(a) after the supplemental application is filed, the date that is 10
days after ProFound receives that denial in writing unless the ProFound
Securityholders file a further-amended application before the end of that
10-day period, in which case 10 days if and after the Danish Tax Authority
denies that further-amended application in writing: . . ."
(b) Clause (a) of Section 11.2 is replaced by this language:
"the close of business California time on August 18, 2000"
8. Miscellaneous

originally signed) and in the exhibits to the Agreement (as it was originally
signed) shall be references to the original Agreement as amended by this
Amendment No. 1.
(b) Section 5.6 is replaced with the following language:
"5.6 INVESTMENT

investment, for its own account and not with a view to distribution. Such
ProFound Shareholder acknowledges that, subject to that ProFound
Shareholder's rights, if any, under the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Maxygen Common Stock will not be registered under the Securities Act and
will be subject to restrictions on transfer under the United States
securities laws and the terms of the applicable Lock-Up Agreement."
9. Compliance with Tax Ruling Conditions
A new Section 7.18 is added to the Agreement. New Section 7.18 shall read
as follows:
"7.18 COMPLIANCE WITH TAX RULING CONDITIONS
-------------------------------------
Each party agrees that it will comply with any conditions specified in the
tax ruling required under Section 7.3(a), such party's agreement to comply with
such conditions to be signified by their respective agreement to Close the
Maxygen Exchange."
10. No Other Changes

full force and effect as it was originally signed.
