Exhibit 10.1

 

FIRST AMENDMENT OF LEASE

 

This First
Amendment of Lease (“First Amendment”) is entered into effective as of the 1st
day of June, 2004, by and between SOUTHCENTER III & IV INVESTORS, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the “Landlord”), and Pixelworks, Inc., an
Oregon corporation (the “Tenant”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                   Landlord
and Tenant entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated April 16, 1999
(the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant leased from Landlord the floor area
consisting of approximately 23,400 rentable square feet (“Premises”) located at
7720 SW Mohawk Street, Tualatin, OR 97062, and more particularly described in
Exhibit A to the Lease.

 

B.                                     The parties now wish to extend
the term of the Lease, and make certain other amendments to the Lease as set
forth below.  Capitalized terms not
defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.  References herein to the Lease shall include
this First Amendment and the Lease, except where the context otherwise
requires.

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the above recitals, the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Recitals and Conflicts. The foregoing recitals are
true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.  In the event of any conflict between any of
the terms and provisions of the Lease and this Amendment, the latter controls.

 

2.                                       Premises. The Premises as described in
the Lease shall be increased to 24,113 rentable square feet, as more
particularly shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by this
reference.  The increase in size
reflects a re-measurement of the Premises in accordance with NAIOP standards
and not an actual expansion of the usable area in the Premises.  The provisions of Exhibit B regarding
improvements to the Lease have been fulfilled and Exhibit B hereby deleted from
the Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not obligated to make any
improvements to the Premises with respect to this Lease extension and that the
Premises are in satisfactory condition “as is”.

 

3.                                       Lease Term Extension. The current Lease Term expires
on May 31, 2004 (the “Current Term”). The Lease Term is hereby extended
for twenty six (26) months commencing June 1, 2004 and ending
July 31, 2006 (the “Extension Term”). Tenant has no further options to
renew or extend the Lease and Section 56 of the Lease regarding the
previous renewal option is deleted.

 

4.                                       Base Rent. During the Extension Term,

5.                                       Brokers.
Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that neither it
nor its officers or agents nor anyone acting on its behalf has dealt with any

harmless the other from any claim or claims, and costs and expenses, including

with this First Amendment as a result of the actions of the indemnifying party.

 

6.                                       Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any action at
law or in equity between the parties to enforce any of the provisions hereof,
any unsuccessful party to such litigation shall pay to the successful party all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including costs and
expenses incurred in connection with all appeals) incurred by the successful
party, and these costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees may be included in and as
part of the judgment.  A successful
party shall be any party who is entitled to recover its costs of suit, whether
or not the suit proceeds to final judgment.

 

7.                                       Miscellaneous. The Lease as modified herein
remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified by Landlord and
Tenant.  This First Amendment shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors
and assigns.  Neither party shall record
this First Amendment.  This First
Amendment contains the entire agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to
the extension of the Lease Term, and may not be amended or modified except by
an instrument executed in writing by Landlord and Tenant.

 

8.                                       Counterparts. This First Amendment may be
signed in counterparts.  A fax
transmission of a signature page will be considered an original signature
page.  At the request of a party, the
other party will confirm a fax-transmitted signature page by delivering an
original signature page to the requesting party.

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or “nonqualified stock options,” at the

agreement.  In addition, shares of the
Company’s Common Stock may be Sold hereunder independent of any Option grant.

(i)  Multiple
Administrative Bodies.  If permitted
by Rule 16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to

the Exchange Act, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board, if the Board

to qualify as a discretionary plan under Rule 16b-3, or (B) a Committee
designated by the Board to administer the Plan, which Committee shall be
constituted to comply with the rules, if any, governing a plan intended to

Plan, all to the extent permitted by the rules, if any, governing a plan
intended to qualify as a discretionary plan under Rule 16b-3.  With respect to persons subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended
to comply

 

 

with all applicable conditions of Rule
16b-3.  To the extent any provision of
the Plan or action by the Administrator fails to so comply, it shall be deemed
null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the
Administrator.

 

(iii) 
Administration With Respect to Other Persons.  With respect to Option grants made to
Employees or Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the Company,
the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated
by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted to satisfy the legal
requirements relating to the administration of stock option plans under
applicable corporate and securities laws and the Code.  Once appointed, such Committee shall serve
in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.  The Board may increase the size of the
Committee and appoint additional members, remove members (with or without
cause) and substitute new members, fill vacancies (however caused), and remove
all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all
to the extent permitted by the legal requirements relating to the
administration of stock option plans under state corporate and securities laws
and the Code.

 

(b)                                 Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a
Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such
Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

(a)                                  Persons Eligible.  Options may be granted and/or Shares Sold only to Employees and
Consultants.  Incentive Stock Options
may be granted only to Employees.  An
Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option or Sold Shares may, if he
or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options or
Sold additional Shares.

 

(b)                                 ISO Limitation.  To the extent that the aggregate fair market value: (i) of Shares
subject to an Optionee’s Incentive Stock Options granted by the Company, any
Parent or Subsidiary, which (ii) become exercisable for the first time during
any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary)

be determined as of the time of grant.

 

(c)                                  Section 5.(b) Limitations.  Section 5.(b) of the Plan shall apply only to an Incentive
Stock Option evidenced by an Option Agreement which sets forth the intention of
the Company and the Optionee that such Option shall qual-ify as an Incentive
Stock Option.  Section 5.(b) of the
Plan shall not apply to any Option evidenced by a Option Agreement which sets
forth the intention of the Company and the Optionee that such Option shall be a
Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

(d)                                 No Right to Continued Employment.  The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with
respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s
right to terminate his employment or consulting relationship at any time, with
or without cause.

 

(e)                                  Other Limitations.  The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options to
Employees:

 

(i)                                     No Employee shall be granted, in
any fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 300,000 Shares.

 

(ii)                                  In connection with his or her
initial employment, an Employee may be granted Options to purchase up to an
additional 300,000 Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in
subsection (i) above.

 

(iii)                               The foregoing limitations shall
be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s
capitalization as described in Section 11.

 

(iv)                              If an Option is canceled in the
same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in
connection with a transaction described in Section 11), the

 

 

canceled Option shall be counted against the
limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above.  For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced,
the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant
of a new Option.

 

6.                                       Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its
adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the Company as
described in Section 17 of the Plan. 
It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years, unless sooner
terminated under Section 13 of the Plan.

 

7.                                       Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the Notice of Grant;
provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term
shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be
provided in the Notice of Grant. 
However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee
who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing
more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option
shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as
may be provided in the Notice of Grant.

 

8.                                       Exercise/Purchase Price and
Consideration.

 

(a)                                  Exercise/Purchase Price.  The per-Share exercise/purchase price for the Shares to be issued
pursuant to exer-cise of an Option or a Sale shall be such price as is
determined by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:

 

(i)                                     In the case of an Incentive
Stock Option

 

(A)                              granted to an Employee who, at
the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock represent-ing
more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per Share on
the date of the grant.

 

(B)                                granted to any other Employee,
the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%)
of the fair mar-ket value per Share on the date of grant.

 

(ii)           In
the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option or Sale, the per Share exercise/purchase
price shall no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value
per Share on the date of grant..

 

(b)                                 Fair Market Value .  The fair market value per Share shall be determined by the
Administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that where there is a
public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value per Share shall be
the closing price of the Common Stock (or the closing bid if no sales were
reported) for the last market trading day prior to the date of grant of the Option
or authorization of Sale or other determination, as reported in The Wall
Street Journal (or, if not so reported, as otherwise reported by the
National Association of

 

 

Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
(NASDAQ) System) or, in the event the Common Stock is listed on a stock
exchange, the fair market value per Share shall be the closing price on such
exchange for the last market trading day prior to the date of grant of the
Option or authorization of Sale or other determination, as reported in The
Wall Street Journal.

 

(c)                                  Consideration.  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option or pursuant to a Sale, including the method of payment,
shall be determined by the Administrator. 
In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall
determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant.  Such consideration may consist of:

 

(i)                                     cash;

 

(ii)                                  check;

 

(iii)                               promissory note;

 

(iv)                              transfer to the Company of
Shares which

 

(A) 
in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and

 

(B) 
have a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate
exercise price of the Shares to be acquired;

 

(v)                                 delivery of a properly executed
exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly
deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the
exercise price;

 

(vi)                              such other consideration and
method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by legal
requirements relating to the administration of stock option plans and issuances
of capital stock under applicable corporate and securities laws and the Code;
or

 

(vii)                           any combination of the foregoing
methods of payment.

 

If the fair market value of the number of
whole Shares transferred or the number of whole Shares surrendered is less than
the total exercise price of the Option, the shortfall must be made up in cash
or by check.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.(c), the consideration for Shares
to be issued pursuant to a Sale may not include, in whole or in part, the
consideration set forth in subsections (iv) and (v) above.

 

9.                                       Exercise of Option.

 

(a)                                  Procedure for Exercise; Rights
as a Shareholder.  Any Option granted hereunder shall be
exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the

 

 

Administrator, including performance criteria
with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible
under the terms of the Plan.

 

An Option may not be exercised for a fraction
of a Share.

 

An Option shall be deemed to be exercised
when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in
accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the
Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised has been received by the Company. 
Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under the Option Agreement and
Section 8.(c) of the Plan.  Each
Optionee who exercises an Option shall, upon notification of the amount due (if
any) and prior to or concurrent with delivery of the certificate representing
the Shares, pay to the Company amounts necessary to satisfy applicable federal,
state and local tax withholding requirements. 
An Optionee must also provide a duly executed copy of any stock transfer
agreement then in effect and determined to be applicable by the
Administrator.  Until the issuance (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidenc-ing
such Shares, no right to vote or receive divi-dends or any other rights as a
shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock represented by such
stock certificate, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock
certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

 

Exercise of an Option in any manner shall
result in a decrease in the number of Shares which thereafter may be available,
both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of
Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

(b)                                 Termination of Employment or
Consulting Relationship.  In the event that an Optionee’s Continuous
Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates (other than upon the Optionee’s
death or Disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but only
within such period of time as is determined by the Administrator, and only to
the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). 
In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall
determine such period of time (in no event to exceed three (3) months from the
date of termination) when the Option is granted.  If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to
exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her
Option with the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(c)                                  Disability of Optionee.  In the event that an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee
or Consultant terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee
may exercise his or her Option at any time within twelve (12) months from the
date of such termination, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled
to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of
Grant).  If, at the date of termination,
the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her

 

 

entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Optionee does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(d)                                 Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Option may be
exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death
(but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who
acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only
to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date
of death.  If, at the time of death, the
Optionee was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the
Plan.  If, after death, the Optionee’s estate
or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to
the Plan.

 

(e)                                  Rule 16b-3.  Options granted to persons subject to Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such additional
conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the
maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan
transactions.

 

(f)                                    Buyout Provisions.  The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment
in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on such terms and
conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee
at the time that such offer is made.

 

10.                                 Nontransferability of Options.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Option
Agreement, an Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred or dis-posed of in any manner other than by will, or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Optionee only by the Optionee or, if incapacitated, by his or her legal
guardian or legal representative.

 

11.                                 Adjustments Upon Changes in
Capitalization or Merger.

 

(a)  Changes
in Capitalization: Subject to any required action by the shareholders of
the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding
Option and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for
issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or
Sales made or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
con-sideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
“effected without receipt of consideration.” 
Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination
in

 

 

that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive.  Except as expressly
provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

 

(b)  Dissolution
or Liquidation.  In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liqui-dation of the Company, each outstanding Option
will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action,
unless other-wise pro-vided by the Administrator.  The Administrator may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in
such instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by
the Board and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option as to
all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option
would not otherwise be exercisable.

 

(c)  Merger
or Asset Sale.  In the event of a
proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Option
shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substi-tuted by such
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation,
unless the Administrator determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and
in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that the Optionee shall have the
right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares
as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.  If the Administrator makes an Option fully
exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or
sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee that the Option
shall be fully exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
such notice or such shorter period as the Administrator may specify in the
notice, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the
Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets,
the Option confers the right to purchase, for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received
in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on
the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received
in the merger or sale of assets was not solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the
successor corporation and the Optionee, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation
or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.

 

12.                                 Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for all purposes, be the
date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such
Option.  Notice of the determination shall
be given to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant.

 

 

13.                                 Amendment and Termination of the
Plan.

 

(a)  Amendment
and Termination.  The Board may
amend or terminate the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may
deem advisable.

 

(b)  Shareholder
Approval.  The Company shall obtain
shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and
desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 or with Section 422 of the Code (or
any successor rule or statute or other applicable law, rule or regulation,
including the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the
Common Stock is listed or quoted).  Such
shareholder approval, if required, shall be obtained in such a manner and to
such a degree as is required by the applicable law, rule or regulation.

 

(c)  Effect
of Amendment or Termination.  Any
such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already
granted, and such Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan
had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between
the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and
signed by the Optionee and the Company.

 

14.                                 Conditions Upon Issuance of
Shares.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option or a Sale unless the exercise of such Option or
consummation of the Sale and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant
thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without
limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, applicable state securities
laws, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and
the requirements of any stock exchange (including NASDAQ) upon which the Shares
may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for
the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

15.                                 Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times
reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

16.                                 Liability of Company.

 

(a)  Inability
to Obtain Authority.  Inability of
the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,
which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the
lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of
any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to
which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

As a condition to the exercise of an Option
or a Sale, the Company may require the person exercising such Option or to whom
Shares are being Sold to repre-sent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise or Sale that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

 

(b)  Grants
Exceeding Allotted Shares.  If the
Optioned Stock covered by an Option exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number
of Shares which may be issued under the

 

 

Plan without additional shareholder approval,
such Option shall be void with respect to such excess Optioned Stock, unless
shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of
Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained in accordance with
Section 13 of the Plan.

 

17.                                 Shareholder
Approval.  Continuance of the Plan
shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve
(12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
in the manner and to the degree required under applicable federal and state
law.
