Dear Todd,

It is our pleasure to formally invite you to join the staff of Pixelworks Inc. as Executive Vice President, Sale, Marketing & Business Development, to be located in San Jose. Our employment offer is subject to Pixelworks’ normal personnel policies and our comprehensive benefit program. As discussed, the following items outline the terms of our offer.

You will report directly to me. This is an exempt position and your starting compensation will be as follows: bi-weekly rate of $11,346.15 equivalent to $295,000 on an annual basis.

As an Executive Vice President, you will be eligible to participate in the 2016 Senior Management Bonus Plan at a maximum potential payout of 50% of your base salary, prorated to reflect the portion of the year which you are an employee. Participation in the bonus plan is subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, as described in the plan document, which will be provided to you separately.

We want you to share in the success of the company through stock participation. We are offering you 350,000 shares of stock options, priced at the closing market price on your date of hire, subject to the Board of Directors approval, pursuant to the Company's 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Agreement. Stock options will vest at a rate of 25% per year; the full details will be outlined in your stock agreement documentation.

Our benefits, payroll, and other human resource management services are provided through TriNet HR Corporation, a professional employer organization. As a result of this arrangement, TriNet will be considered your employer of record for these purposes; however, I will be responsible for directing your work, reviewing your performance, setting your schedule and otherwise directing your work at Pixelworks.

Pixelworks pays bi-weekly, with pay dates every other Friday. Paychecks will include wages due through the two-week period (Sunday through Saturday) prior to the pay date. Should payday fall on a holiday, it will be paid on the previous workday.

Pixelworks extends this offer to you based solely on your skills, accomplishments and growth potential and not on any confidential or proprietary information you may have belonging to others, including your prior employers. We request that you not disclose to Pixelworks any such information, in the form of documents or otherwise.

Enclosed is our Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, all employees are required to sign this document prior to commencement of work. As with any new hire, under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 we will be required to confirm your eligibility to work in the United States within three days of your hire date.
