  NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which

     1.  Amendment to Acquisition Agreement.

       1.1  The second sentence of Section 9.4 of the Acquisition Agreement

     "(including any requirement that Micron expend any money or incur any
     expense or obligation to obtain additional or replacement software
     licenses)"

       1.2  The last sentence of Section 9.4 of the Acquisition Agreement shall
be amended to read in full as follows:

     "If the applicable vendor does not give its consent, or such consent is
     subject to any condition other than the payment or a fee, or the giving of
     such consent would for any reason require Micron to obtain additional or
     replacement software licenses, then such contract shall not be considered
     an Assumed Contract."

       1.3  The last sentence of Section 9.5(a) to the Acquisition Agreement is

     or (ii) the closing price for PixTech Common Stock on the Closing Date;
     provided that if the exercise price as so calculated is more than $1.825
     per share, then PixTech will issue additional stock options to the
     Transferred Employees at such exercise price.  The number of additional
     stock options to be issued will be mutually agreed upon by Micron and
     PixTech.

as it deems fit during such five year period.

       3.  Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
