Accordingly, the
Collateral Agent, the Pledgors and the New Pledgor agree as follows:


 


Section 1.The
Stock Pledge Agreement is hereby amended as follows:


 


		(a)	A new clause (e) shall be added to Section 7 as follows:



 


“(e) Each Pledgor covenants
and agrees that it shall not transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any Collateral if as a result of such transfer, exchange or disposition
such Collateral would constitute Pixel Foreign Equity Rights. “Pixel Foreign Equity Rights” shall mean Pixel Foreign
Equity (as defined below) or any property rights in Pixel Foreign Equity, or any organizational documents of any issuer of such Pixel
Foreign Equity. “Pixel Foreign Equity” shall mean any Equity Interests issued by or owned by a Pixel Foreign Subsidiary.
“Pixel Foreign Subsidiary” shall mean, any subsidiary of Pixel Acquisition Holdco LLC that is organized and existing

Section 2.The
New Pledgor by its signature below shall become a Pledgor under the Stock Pledge Agreement (as amended hereby) with the same force and
effect as if originally named therein as a Pledgor and the New Pledgor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Stock
Pledge Agreement applicable to it as a Pledgor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made
by it as a Pledgor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified
as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date
hereof; provided that, to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to any date prior to the date
hereof, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such prior date (except that any representation
and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all
respects). Subject to Section 16 of the Stock Pledge Agreement, the New Pledgor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable
for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Holders on a non-recourse basis as set forth in Section 16 of the Stock Pledge Agreement,
the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter,
all of the Obligations. To secure such guaranty and the payment and performance of the Obligations, the New Pledgor hereby pledges to
Holders and grants to Holders, a security interest in, any and all right, title and interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Stock
Pledge Agreement) (after giving effect to this Supplement).


 


Section 3.The
New Pledgor has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Supplement, and the execution and
delivery by the New Pledgor of this Supplement and the consummation by the New Pledgor of the transactions contemplated hereby have been
duly authorized by the New Pledgor’s board of directors (or other applicable managing body). This Supplement has been duly executed
and delivered by the New Pledgor, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the New Pledgor, enforceable against it
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies or the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction.


 


Section 4.This
Supplement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Supplement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Supplement. This Supplement shall become effective
as to the New Pledgor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the New Pledgor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent
and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the New Pledgor
and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Collateral Agent may also require that any such documents
and signatures delivered by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic means be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided
that the failure to request or delivery the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile,
..pdf or other electronic means.


 


Section 5.The
New Pledgor and Pixel Acquisition Holdco LLC hereby represent and warrant that the schedules attached hereto and the information set forth
in such schedules are correct in all material respects as of the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the schedules attached hereto
shall supplement the schedules to the Stock Pledge Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to this Supplement.


 


Section 6.Except
as expressly supplemented and amended hereby, the Stock Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly set
forth herein, (a) this Supplement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect, the
rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any other party under the Stock Pledge Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants
or agreements contained in the Stock Pledge Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, all of which
are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect (as amended pursuant to this Supplement) and (b)
nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Pledgor to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of
the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Stock Pledge Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement
or any other Transaction Document in similar or different circumstances.

provisions of this Supplement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
