Exhibit 10.1
SECOND AMENDMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of July 25, 2018, by and between Hudson Concourse, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and Pixelworks, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
A.
Landlord (as successor in interest to CA-The Concourse Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership) and Tenant are parties to that certain Office Lease Agreement dated December 28, 2005 (as amended by that certain First Amendment dated April 16, 2013, the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord has leased to Tenant space currently containing approximately 19,294 rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 400 (the “Current Premises”) in the approximately 117,073 rentable square foot building commonly known as The Concourse II located at 224 Airport Parkway, San Jose, California 95110 (“Concourse II”).
B.
The Lease will expire by its terms on December 31, 2018 (the “Extended Expiration Date”), and the parties wish to extend the term of the Lease on the following terms and conditions.
C.
The parties wish to relocate the Tenant from the Current Premises to approximately 10,051 rentable square feet in the space commonly referred to as Suite 595 (as more particularly shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Substitution Space”)) in the approximately 130,183 rentable square foot building commonly referred to as Concourse I located at 226 Airport Parkway, San Jose, California (“Concourse I”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals which by this reference are incorporated herein, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1.
Extension and Substitution.
1.1.
Substitution Term. With respect to the period of time from and after the Substitution Effective Date (defined below) (i) the Premises (as defined in the Lease) shall be the Substitution Space and (ii) the Building (as defined in the Lease) shall be Concourse I, subject to the terms hereof (the “Substitution”). The term of the Lease for the Substitution Space (the “Substitution Term”) shall commence on October 1, 2018 (the “Substitution Effective Date”) and, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Lease, end on September 30, 2024 (the “Second Extended Expiration Date”). The portion of the term of the Lease beginning on the date immediately following the Extended Expiration Date (the “Second Extension Date”) and ending on the Second Extended Expiration Date shall be referred to herein as the “Second Extended Term”. From and after the Substitution Effective Date, the Substitution Space shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease except as provided herein. Except as may be expressly provided herein, (a) Tenant shall not be entitled to receive, with respect to the Substitution Space, any allowance, free rent or other financial concession granted with respect to the Current Premises, (b) no representation or warranty made by Landlord with respect to the Current Premises shall apply to the Substitution Space and (c) no representation or warranty made by Landlord with respect to Concourse II shall apply to Concourse I. Tenant may enter the Substitution Space and Concourse I early before the Substitution Effective Date (but not before September 1, 2018), solely for the purpose of installing telecommunications and data cabling, equipment, furnishings and other personal property in the Substitution Space. Other than the obligation to pay (with respect to the Substitution Space) Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes, all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease (as amended hereby) shall apply during any period of such early entry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may limit, suspend or terminate Tenant’s rights to enter the Substitution Space and Concourse I early pursuant hereto if Landlord reasonably determines that such





early entry is endangering individuals working in the Substitution Space or is delaying completion of the Tenant Improvement Work (defined in Exhibit B hereto).
1.2.
Current Premises. Subject to the terms hereof, effective as of the Current Premises Expiration Date (defined below), the term of the Lease shall expire with respect to the Current Premises (and the Roof Space) and Concourse II with the same force and effect as if such term were, by the provisions of the Lease, fixed to expire with respect to the Current Premises (and the Roof Space) and Concourse II on the Current Premises Expiration Date. As used herein, “Current Premises Expiration Date” means the later to occur of (a) September 30, 2018 and (b) date occurring 15 days after the date the Tenant Improvement Work (defined in Exhibit B hereto) is Substantially Complete (defined in Exhibit B hereto).
The parties anticipate that the Tenant Improvement Work will be Substantially Completed
on or about October 10, 2018 (the “Target Substitution Effective Date”). Without limiting
the foregoing: (a) the portion of the Base Rent schedule set forth in the Lease (as modified
below) that applies to the Current Premises during the period following the Current Premises
Expiration Date is hereby deleted from the Lease, (b) Tenant shall surrender the Current
Premises (and the Roof Space) to Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease on or
before the Current Premises Expiration Date, (c) Tenant shall remain liable for all Rent and
other amounts payable under the Lease (as modified pursuant to the terms hereof) with
respect to the Current Premises (and the Roof Space) for the period up to and including the
Current Premises Expiration Date, even though billings for such amounts may occur after the
Current Premises Expiration Date (provided, however, that such Rent for any partial calendar
month shall be prorated based on the actual number of days in such month), (d) Tenant’s
restoration obligations with respect to the Current Premises (and the Roof Space) shall be as
set forth in the Lease, (e) if Tenant fails to surrender any portion of the Current Premises
(and/or the Roof Space) on or before the Current Premises Expiration Date, Tenant’s tenancy
with respect thereto shall be subject to Section 22 of the Lease and (f) any other rights or
obligations of Landlord or Tenant under the Lease relating to the Current Premises (and the
Roof Space) that, in the absence of the Substitution, would have survived the expiration date
of the Lease shall survive the Current Premises Expiration Date. During the period
beginning on the Substitution Effective Date and ending on the Current Premises Expiration
Date, all provisions of the Lease shall continue to apply to the Current Premises and
Concourse II as if the Current Premises were still part of the Premises (together with the
Substitution Space); provided, however, that during such period Tenant shall not be
required to pay (with respect to the Current Premises) monthly Base Rent or Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes (except only for purposes of determining Tenant’s
obligations under Section 1.2(e) above). At any time after the Current Premises Expiration
Date, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C
attached hereto, as a confirmation of the information set forth therein. Tenant shall execute
and return (or, by written notice to Landlord, reasonably object to) such notice within five (5)
business days after receiving it
2.
Base Rent. With respect to the Substitution Space during the Substitution Term, the schedule of Base Rent shall be as follows:





Period During Substitution Term
Monthly Rate Per Square Foot
Monthly Base Rent
Substitution Effective Date through last day of 12th full calendar month of Substitution Term
$3.60
$36,183.60
13th through 24th full calendar months of Substitution Term
$3.71
$37,269.11
25th through 36th full calendar months of Substitution Term
$3.82
$38,387.18

$4.05
$40,724.96
61st full calendar month of Substitution Term through last day of Substitution Term

All such Base Rent shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Base Rent for the Substitution Space shall be abated, in the amount of $36,183.60 per month, for the first two (2) full calendar months of the Substitution Term.

6.    Improvements to Substitution Space.
6.1.    Condition and Configuration of Substitution Space. Tenant acknowledges that it has inspected the Substitution Space and agrees to accept it in its existing condition and configuration (or in such other condition and configuration as any existing tenant of the Substitution Space may cause to exist in accordance with its lease), without any representation by Landlord regarding its condition or configuration and without any obligation on the part of Landlord to perform or pay for any alteration or improvement, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment.
6.2.     Responsibility for Improvements to Substitution Space. Landlord shall perform improvements to the Substitution Space in accordance with Exhibit B attached hereto.
7.

no outstanding contracts for the supply of labor or material and no work has been done or is being done in, to or about the Current Premises (or the Roof Space) which has not been fully paid for and for which appropriate waivers of mechanic’s liens have not been obtained.

California Civil Code Section 1938. Pursuant to California Civil Code § 1938, Landlord hereby states that (as of the date hereof) the Substitution Space has not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) (defined in California Civil Code § 55.52).

Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises”.
In accordance with the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant requests (after the date hereof) a CASp inspection of the Substitution Space, then Tenant shall pay (i) the fee for such inspection, and (ii) except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment, the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Substitution Space.
