        This Agreement is made and entered into in the City of Palo Alto (California, U.S.A.) as of January 1, 2002 by and between Globamatrix Holdings
Pte. Ltd. ("LICENSEE") and Southwall Technologies Inc. ("SOUTHWALL"). 


WITNESSETH 


        WHEREAS,
SOUTHWALL produces and manufactures the Film (as defined below), which is used in the manufacturing of the Product (as defined below); 


        WHEREAS,
SOUTHWALL is the owner of the patents registered in the US Patent and Trademark Office, which are further described in  Exhibit 1 hereto, as well as of the trademarks described in Exhibit 1 hereto, including,
without limitation, Solis®; 


        WHEREAS,
LICENSEE wishes to obtain the exclusive right to distribute SOUTHWALL's Product worldwide on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 


        WHEREAS,
LICENSEE has requested and SOUTHWALL has agreed to provide LICENSEE with certain minimum amounts of Product each year during the term of this Agreement; 


        WHEREAS,
the parties acknowledge that such a commitment by SOUTHWALL places a substantial production risk on SOUTHWALL and requires SOUTHWALL to make a substantial investment (in dollars
and lost opportunities) to dedicate a material portion of its production capacity and other resources to the manufacture of such Product on behalf of LICENSEE, and, accordingly, that LICENSEE's option
herein to perform its obligations by either purchasing specified levels of Product hereunder or making payment therefor is in consideration of SOUTHWALL's making available such
production capacity and other resources; and 


        WHEREAS,
the parties acknowledge that the commitment by LICENSEE to purchase minimum amounts of Product requires LICENSEE and its appointed master franchisees and distributors to invest
and employ substantial resources (human and capital) to market and build increased demand to consume the Product in the Territory and places LICENSEE at substantial risk (in dollars, loss of goodwill
and damages), that SOUTHWALL's commitment to perform its obligations and in particular make timely deliveries of good quality Product to the specified levels hereunder or making payment
therefor is in consideration of LICENSEE's reciprocal commitment to purchase agreed minimum amounts of Product;

	OBLIGATIONS OF SOUTHWALL



To
assist LICENSEE in the rapid and successful commercialization of the Product, SOUTHWALL agrees to provide the following support and assistance to LICENSEE at SOUTHWALL's expense
except where noted below. All communications and materials described in this Section 7 will be in English. 


	(a)
	Licensee Assistance. SOUTHWALL shall provide reasonable marketing and product management assistance, including making available a
SOUTHWALL employee (the "Product Manager/Engineer") knowledgeable in the performance and applications of the Product. The Product Manager/Engineer will be 100% dedicated to the business activities of
the LICENSEE. The Product Manager/Engineer will be located in Tempe, Arizona (or other suitable location mutually agreed to by SOUTHWALL and LICENSEE). If the Product Manager/Engineer's employment
with SOUTHWALL terminates or is terminated (for any reason), SOUTHWALL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Product Manager/Engineer promptly with a person of reasonably equivalent
or superior abilities and credentials.



	(b)
	General Conduct. SOUTHWALL shall at all times conduct its business in a businesslike manner and shall not engage in any deceptive,
misleading, illegal or unethical business practice or any practice that will reflect unfavorably on LICENSEE, the Product, or the Film.



	(c)
	Quality Control. SOUTHWALL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supply the Film and Product in accordance with specifications
in Exhibit 5 attached hereto. In case of disagreement on the level of quality of the Film or Product supplied by SOUTHWALL, LICENSEE will make
sample laminates containing the questionable film after which both parties will review the samples to determine the Film or Product status. In cases where it is agreed by the parties that the Film or
Product does not comply with agreed upon specifications, SOUTHWALL agrees to replace all unacceptable Film or Product at no additional cost inclusive of freight to LICENSEE. If the parties fail to
agree on the Film or Product status, SOUTHWALL shall continue to supply LICENSEE with Film and/or Product, while Section 17(i) of this Agreement shall govern the resolution of the
disputed quantities of Film and/or Product. A good faith disagreement between the parties pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed a default under this Agreement or give rise
to any right by either party to terminate, or suspend performance, under this Agreement.



	(d)
	Patent Infringement Indemnity. SOUTHWALL shall hold LICENSEE harmless from damages, settlements, attorneys' fees and expenses resulting
from infringement by the Film or Product of any patent issued as of the date of this Agreement, or subsequent replacement Film and Product under Section 1(a) and 1(e) respectively,  provided
LICENSEE promptly notifies SOUTHWALL of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and 



5





 


SOUTHWALL
is given reasonable assistance by LICENSEE and the opportunity to assume sole control over the defense and all negotiations for a settlement or compromise. SOUTHWALL will not be responsible
for any settlement it does not approve in writing. THE FOREGOING IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 16 AND IN LIEU OF ANY WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. The foregoing obligation of
SOUTHWALL does not apply with respect to Film or Product (i) not supplied by SOUTHWALL, (ii) modified after shipment by SOUTHWALL, if
the alleged infringement relates to such modification, (iii) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination or (iv) if
LICENSEE continues allegedly infringing activity after becoming aware of such alleged infringement. LICENSEE will indemnify and hold harmless SOUTHWALL and its officers, directors, agents and
employees from all damages, settlements, attorneys' fees and expenses related to a claim of infringement or misappropriation excluded from SOUTHWALL's indemnity obligation by this
section. 



	(e)
	Returns. SOUTHWALL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to process any return materials from LICENSEE as promptly as reasonably
practicable and in accordance with established claim procedures for Film and Product as described in Exhibit 6. 





	8.
	MINIMUM PURCHASE OF PRODUCT



	(a)
	LICENSEE
shall purchase Product and SOUTHWALL shall supply Product, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. LICENSEE shall purchase, and SOUTHWALL shall
supply (to the extent it receives purchase orders in accordance herewith), at least US $11.50 million of Product in calendar year 2002, at least US $13.25 million of Product in calendar
year 2003, and at least US $15.25 million of Product in calendar year 2004. The minimum amount of Product that LICENSEE is obligated to purchase and SOUTHWALL is obligated to supply (to the
extent it receives purchase orders in accordance herewith) in each year under this Agreement shall be referred to herein as the "Annual Amount." For each of the calendar years 2005 through 2011,
inclusive, the Annual Amount shall be 110% of the Annual Amount for the immediately preceding year.



	(b)
	On
or before February 28, 2002, LICENSEE will deliver to SOUTHWALL a blanket purchase order for Product that will cover the six (6) quarter period, beginning with the
quarter ended March 31, 2002. The orders reflected in such blanket purchase order and each other purchase order delivered hereunder shall be consistent with the applicable Annual Amount,
Maximum Amount (as defined below) and other requirements of this Section 8. The blanket purchase order will (i) give specific quantities of Product to be shipped to LICENSEE for each
quarter during such period and (ii) with respect to the first quarter of such period, stipulate monthly quantities, product types and specifications of Product to be produced. Not later than
60 days prior to the end of each quarter, LICENSEE shall provide SOUTHWALL with (i) instructions as to the monthly quantities, product types and specifications of Product to be produced
for the immediately following quarter and (ii) a blanket purchase order for the quarter immediately following the last quarter then covered by a purchase order. In no event shall the quantity
of Product ordered by LICENSEE for any month exceed 12% of the blanket purchase order for the rolling 12-month period immediately following such month. Within 10 business days of receipt
of each purchase order, SOUTHWALL will deliver to LICENSEE a Purchase Order Confirmation. Each purchase order shall represent a binding minimum order for the LICENSEE and SOUTHWALL following the
delivery of the applicable Purchase Order Confirmation. As an alternative method of performing its obligations hereunder, LICENSEE may order and accept less than the Annual Amount for calendar year
2002, 2003 or 2004, provided that LICENSEE shall reimburse SOUTHWALL within 30 days of year end (not as a penalty, liquidated damages or the like
but as compensation to SOUTHWALL for the costs associated with production of Product and to ensure SOUTHWALL a steady source 





6





 


of
income so that it might continue such production) for the difference in the purchase price of all Product ordered and accepted for such calendar year and the Annual Amount. If LICENSEE orders at
least the Annual Amount for any of calendar year 2002, 2003 or 2004 and SOUTHWALL fails to deliver the Annual Amount for such year, then SOUTHWALL shall reimburse LICENSEE within 30 days of the
applicable year end (not as a penalty, liquidated damages or the like but as compensation to LICENSEE for the costs associated with marketing Product) for the difference between the Annual Amount for
such calendar year and the total purchase price of all Product delivered for such calendar year, provided that SOUTHWALL shall not be required to make
delivery of any Product for which it pays such reimbursement. 




Any
increase in quantities of Product or a change in specifications requires a 90 day lead time and shall be consistent with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, this Section 8, and no such changes shall be binding on SOUTHWALL unless SOUTHWALL accepts in writing such changes. 



	(c)
	In
addition to the Product, LICENSEE may also purchase Film from SOUTHWALL pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 8(d), for each dollar of Film that
LICENSEE orders each year, an equivalent dollar amount of Product shall be purchased over and above the Annual Amount for such year.



	(d)
	LICENSEE
may order an additional quantity of Product and Film (including Film ordered pursuant to Section 8(c)) in excess of the applicable Annual Amount for any year,  provided that such additional quantity
for any year plus the applicable Annual Amount shall not exceed the "Maximum Amount." The Maximum Amount shall be
US $12.65 million for calendar 2002, US $15.23 million for calendar 2003, and US $18.25 million for calendar 2004. The Maximum Amount for each calendar year 2005 through 2011,
inclusive, shall be 120% of the Annual Amount for that year. If LICENSEE wishes to purchase an amount for any year after 2003 that is more than the Annual Amount, LICENSEE shall so notify SOUTHWALL in
writing during the first fiscal quarter of the year prior to the year such additional purchases are to take effect.



	(e)
	Beginning
on April 1, 2002, if SOUTHWALL fails to provide the quantity of Product ordered by LICENSEE to be delivered in any given month pursuant to this Section 8
within seven (7) days after the end of such month, SOUTHWALL will issue a credit memo (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7) in an
amount calculated as described herein and based on the difference in total square footage of each product type (as listed in Exhibit 2) ordered
pursuant to the applicable purchase order for such month and the total square footage of each product type actually shipped to LICENSEE within one week of the end of the month (the "Deficiency"). If
the Deficiency for each product type for any month is (i) less than or equal to 5% of the total square footage ordered with respect to such month, LICENSEE shall not be entitled to any credit
memo for any discount on the purchase price or other adjustment; (ii) greater than 5% but less than 15% of the total square footage ordered with respect to
such month, LICENSEE shall receive a credit memo for a discount calculated based on the following formula: 





Credit
note = 0.15 × P × (.95A-B) 




	 	Wherein:	A = Amount ordered (square feet)
	

 	

 	

B = Amount shipped (square feet)
	

 	

 	

P = Price of product type




7







  




For
example, if amount ordered for a product type is 100,000 square feet and the amount shipped is 90,000 square feet for that product type, and the price of the product type is $2.05, then the credit
note to be issued shall be $1,537.50; or (iii) greater than or equal to 15% of the total square footage ordered with respect to such month, LICENSEE shall receive a credit memo for a discount
calculated based on the following formula: 



Credit
note = (0.15 x P x 0.1A) + (0.25 x P x (0.85A-B)) 


For
example, if the amount ordered for a product type is 100,000 square feet and the amount shipped is 75,000 square feet for that product type, and the price of the product type is $2.05, then the
credit note to be issued shall be $6,662.50. 


LICENSEE
shall not be entitled to any discount or credit memo with respect to Product not ordered in accordance with the terms of this Section 8. 




	9.
	PRICE



From
the date hereof through December 31, 2004, the purchase price for Film and Product sold hereunder shall be as set forth on SOUTHWALL's Price Schedule attached hereto as  Exhibit 8, provided, that, after December 31, 2004, SOUTHWALL may change the prices to be
charged for Film and Product sold hereunder at any time, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9, by amending its published Price Schedule and giving LICENSEE sixty (60) days'
prior written notice thereof (which notice may be given prior to December 31, 2004). The maximum allowable price increase per year will be based only on actual increases in
SOUTHWALL's cost to manufacture Film or Product, which will include the costs of: raw materials (polyester film and metal targets); electricity, gases and other consumables; packaging
materials; labor rates; converting costs charged directly to SOUTHWALL by outside vendor(s); and any or all increases allowed by inflation as measured by the Consumer's Price Index (CPI). Increases in
the foregoing costs may be used singularly or in any combination to justify new prices, but in no event will the total annual increase exceed the lower of the total of all such factors and 8% of the
applicable purchase price from the previous year. Both SOUTHWALL and LICENSEE agree to negotiate in good faith, in the event of circumstances beyond the control of SOUTHWALL, a mutually satisfactory
price adjustment notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in this Section 9. If the parties cannot in good faith agree upon such a price adjustment in the event of circumstances beyond
SOUTHWALL's control, the chief executive officers of each of the parties shall
meet promptly and in person to attempt to resolve the matter; if they are unable to agree upon an appropriate price adjustment within twenty (20) days of the commencement of such discussions,
the matter shall be governed by section 17(i). 



	10.
	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE



This
Agreement and all sales of Film or Product hereunder by SOUTHWALL to LICENSEE shall be subject to SOUTHWALL's Terms and Conditions, a copy of which is attached hereto as  Exhibit 9 except in the
case of payment terms wherein SOUTHWALL hereby agrees that it shall not be changed for the duration of this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, payment terms are open account terms (subject to the Maximum Amount), net sixty (60) days from date of shipment. Such Terms and Conditions shall govern in the event
of any inconsistencies with any other document (except the body of this Agreement which shall govern in the event of any inconsistencies) received by LICENSEE or SOUTHWALL prior or after receipt of
the Purchase Order Confirmation.

such unsold Film and Product freight prepaid. If SOUTHWALL does not request LICENSEE to return Film or Product, all payments for such unreturned Film or Product shall become immediately due and
payable to SOUTHWALL.



	(c)
	Upon
termination of this Agreement by LICENSEE, LICENSEE may at LICENSEE's option return all unsold Film and Product to SOUTHWALL for credit,  provided such unsold Film and Product is returned within thirty
(30) days of termination and is in the same condition as that in which it was
delivered to LICENSEE, as determined in the sole, commercially reasonable judgment of SOUTHWALL's quality assurance department. LICENSEE shall return such unsold Film and Product
freight prepaid. In case LICENSEE does not choose to return the unsold Film and Product within such 30 day period, all payments for such unreturned Film and Product shall become immediately due
and payable to SOUTHWALL.



	(d)
	The
following provisions shall survive termination of this Agreement: 1, 6(a), 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.

	17.
	GENERAL



	(a)
	Independent Contractor. Each party will act as an independent contractor under the terms of this Agreement and not as an agent or legal
representative of the other party for any purpose. Neither party will in any way represent or imply that it is acting on behalf of the other party. 





11





 


Neither
party nor any subcontractors of such party shall have the right or authority to assume or create any obligation of any kind, express or implied, on behalf of one party to the other party's
customers or to any other Person.

obligation hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except for an assignment or transfer in connection merger, consolidation or other acquisition of such assigning or transferring
party.



	(e)
	No Waiver. The failure by either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any election or
option provided herein, shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions or option, nor in any way be construed to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part thereof, or the right of
either party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision on a future occasion.



	(f)
	No Other Warranty or Representation. Both parties hereby acknowledge that they have not entered into this Agreement in reliance upon
any warranty or representation by any Person except for the warranties or representations specifically set forth herein.



	(g)
	Compliance with Laws. Each party hereby agrees and represents that it will, at all times during the term of this Agreement, comply in
all material respects with all applicable laws, statutes, treaties and regulations of the United States (including, but not limited to, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and antiboycott regulations)
and any other country or jurisdiction with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. 





Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time either party determines that the continuation of this Agreement shall constitute a violation of any statute, treaty, or
regulation of the United States of America or of any other country or jurisdiction and such violation would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the party seeking to terminate, this
Agreement shall terminate immediately upon written notice by the party seeking to terminate to the other party setting forth such violation, unless the party receiving such notice is able to cure such
violation promptly. If the sale, delivery or export of the Film or Products under this Agreement shall constitute a violation of any statute, treaty, or regulation of the United States of America or
of any other country or jurisdiction, than the sale, delivery and export of such item shall terminate immediately. 



	(h)
	Export Control. LICENSEE at its sole expense shall obtain any necessary licenses, customs clearances, and/or exemptions with respect to
the export from the United States of the Film and Product, shall deal with all other formalities and documentation requirements and shall keep SOUTHWALL informed of all local requirements relating to
the Film and Product. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason or there is a failure to renew the 



12





 


Agreement,
LICENSEE agrees to transfer to SOUTHWALL, or any Person designated by SOUTHWALL, all licenses, clearances or certificates necessary to export the Film or Product. 



	(i)
	Governing Law and Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California (U.S.A.). 




Disputes
arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement that are not settled by mutual agreement shall be resolved as follows. The complaining party shall give the other party a
written notice containing a concise description of the dispute to be resolved and the terms of the complaining party's proposal for a reasonable settlement thereof. Within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such notice and proposed settlement from the complaining party, the other party shall send to the complaining party a notice proposing a settlement which such other party considers
more reasonable, or else shall be deemed to have accepted the complaining party's settlement proposal. Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such response the complaining
party shall either accept the settlement proposal of the other party or shall refer the matter to arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in Palo Alto, California in accordance with the
International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties agree that given the scope of the Territory, it is appropriate for each party to have the right to take depositions
(including video depositions) and such deposition testimonies shall be admissible in any arbitration. Further, the parties agree to co-operate with the scheduling and any proceeding
related to obtaining orders authorizing the depositions and the appointment of appropriate court reporters. Judgment upon the award so rendered by any arbitration in accordance herewith may be entered
in courts of the County of Santa Clara (California, U.S.A.). Each party expressly waives the right to submitting any such claim to any other court to which it might be entitled. 



	(j)
	Taxes. The fees and payments listed in this Agreement are exclusive of taxes, and if SOUTHWALL is required to pay any export or import
duties or sales, use, value-added, privilege, excise, property or other taxes based on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the LICENSEE's or a customer's use of the Film or Product
(whether United States or foreign, federal, state or local), then such duties or taxes shall be billed to and paid by the LICENSEE, except for taxes based on the net income of SOUTHWALL, which shall
be the responsibility of SOUTHWALL. The LICENSEE shall indemnify and hold SOUTHWALL harmless from any and all encumbrance, fine, penalty, interest or other expense which SOUTHWALL may incur as a
result of the failure of the LICENSEE to pay amounts in respect of taxes which the LICENSEE is required to pay under this Agreement.



	(k)
	International Conventions on the Sale of Goods. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that
international conventions, treaties or agreements on terms and conditions relating to the sale of goods, such as, but not limited to, the "United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sales of Goods" and the "Uniform Law of the International Sales of Goods" shall not apply to this Agreement or the transactions under this Agreement.



	(l)
	Headings. The section headings to this Agreement do not form a part of it, but are for convenience only and shall not limit or
affect the meaning of the paragraphs.



	(m)
	Language. This Agreement has been entered into in the English language, which shall be the controlling language hereof for all
purposes, and all documents exchanged hereunder shall be provided in English. All references to dollars or prices herein shall be deemed to refer to United States dollars.



	(n)
	Force Majeure. The parties hereto shall be excused from the performance of their obligations hereunder if such performance is delayed
by causes beyond their reasonable control, including, 



13





 


but
not limited to acts of God, war, riot, epidemics, fire, flood, insurrection, acts of civil or military authorities, failure of transportation or communications, failure of equipment,
interruptions in deliveries of raw materials, or acts and/or failures to act of third parties who have contractual or other business relationships with the parties hereto or whose acts and failures to
act may affect the ability of the parties to perform their respective obligations hereunder. Such performance shall only be excused for a period equal to the duration of the cause of the delay in
performance, and if such delay shall exceed sixty (60) days, the non-delaying party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith, with neither party being liable
therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall remain liable for all obligations accrued by them prior to such termination. Nothing contained in this Section shall excuse the LICENSEE from
paying SOUTHWALL all amounts due to SOUTHWALL when due. If foreign exchange controls prevent payment to SOUTHWALL, the LICENSEE at the request of SOUTHWALL shall open a separate bank account in the
Territory and shall make payments to such account; provided, however, the making of such payments shall
not require SOUTHWALL to continue to make shipments pursuant to this Agreement. 



	(o)
	Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement (other than a provision which goes to the essence of the consideration
for this Agreement) is declared invalid, unenforceable or void to any extent by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified, if possible, by reducing its duration and scope to
allow enforcement of the maximum permissible duration and scope. In any event, such declaration shall not affect the remaining provisions and this Agreement shall be enforced as modified, or if no
modification is enforceable, as if such invalid clause had not been included, provided that, the economic benefits conferred by this Agreement to both
parties remains substantially unimpaired.



	(p)
	Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.



	(q)
	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all exhibits and schedules hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings of the parties with respect hereto (whether written or oral), including,
without limitation, that certain Solar Control Film Distribution Agreement between the parties dated March 14, 1997 (the "Solar Control Agreement"), that certain XIR
Laminated Film Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement between the parties dated November 17, 1997, as amended (the "XIR Agreement"), and the Letter of Agreement between the parties dated
January 15, 2002 (the "LOA"). The Solar Control Agreement, the XIR Agreement and the LOA are hereby terminated in full and of no further force or effect. No representation, promise,
modification or amendment shall be binding upon either party unless in writing and signed on behalf of such party by a duly authorized representative. Although LICENSEE may use its standard purchase
order form to give any other notice provided for hereunder, said order or notice will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any term or condition set forth in any such
standard form which is inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall have no force or effect.

SOUTHWALL TECHNOLOGIES INC.



STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS 


        This
document sets forth the terms and conditions of the agreement between Buyer and Southwall Technologies Inc. ("Southwall") for the purchase of Southwall's products. 


        1.    SCOPE.    The terms and conditions set forth herein apply to all of Buyer's purchases of products from Southwall
pursuant to this contract. Southwall expressly rejects and does not accept any inconsistent or additional terms set forth in any writing by Buyer preceding or succeeding the date hereof except for a
written agreement succeeding this document executed by an authorized representative of Southwall. Southwall's agreement to sell products to Buyer is expressly conditioned upon Buyer's assent to the
terms set forth herein. 


        2.    DELIVERY.    Delivery will be FOB Southwall's plant. Buyer shall pay all freight, insurance, packing and
comparable charges relating to such delivery. Southwall shall ship the products in Southwall's standard shipping packages to buyer at Buyer's address set forth on Buyer's Purchase Order. Unless
otherwise instructed in writing by Buyer, Southwall will select the carrier. Title and risk of loss to products purchased under this Agreement shall pass to Buyer upon delivery thereof to the carrier.
Shipping dates, if any, set forth in Southwall's Purchase Order Acknowledgement are approximate only and merely represent Southwall's estimate of the time required to make shipment. Southwall shall
not be liable for any loss or expense (consequential or otherwise) incurred by Buyer as a result of any delay in delivery for any reason other than arbitrary refusal of Southwall to perform. Southwall
may deliver any product in installments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Southwall's fulfillment of Buyer's order may vary by as much as 10% and Buyer agrees: (i) that any shipment of
product within such range shall fulfill Buyer's Purchase Order and (ii) Buyer shall pay based on the amount actually shipped. 



        3.    ACCEPTANCE FOR HEAT MIRRORTM PRODUCTS.    Buyer shall inspect all products and may, in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 7—Quality Assurance of the Heat MirrorTM Manual, reject any products which fail in any significant respect to meet Southwall's
current acceptance specifications set forth in Appendix IV of the Heat MirrorTM Manual. 


        ACCEPTANCE
FOR NON HEAT MIRRORTM PRODUCTS. Buyer shall inspect all products promptly upon receipt thereof at the shipping destination and may reject any products which fail in
any significant respect to meet Southwall's current acceptance specifications or any specifications set forth in writing and signed by both parties in the purchase agreement between Southwall and
Buyer. Products not rejected by written notice, together with a request for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number, within fourteen (14) days of receipt shall be deemed to have been
accepted. Buyer's rejection shall not be effective unless the rejected products are returned freight prepaid to a site designed by Southwall in the original shipping cartons with Southwall's RMA
number displayed on each carton within ten (10) days of receipt of said RMA number. As promptly as possible, but not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such rejected product,
Southwall shall determine if the product was properly rejected. Southwall shall either repair or replace, at its option and expense, properly 









rejected products and shall prepay transportation charges back to Buyer if the products were not properly rejected. Buyer shall pay transportation charges in both directions. 


        4.    PAYMENT.    Payment terms are cash in advance except where open account credit is established and maintained to
the satisfaction of Southwall in which cash payment terms are net thirty (30) days from date of shipment. The amount of credit or terms of payment may be changed or credit withdrawn by
Southwall at any time and for any reason or no reason. Payment shall be made for the products
without regard to whether Buyer has made or may make any inspection or use of the products. Any invoiced amount which is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of the lesser of the rate of
one and one-half percent per month or the highest rate then permitted by applicable law with respect to such obligation. 


        5.    TAXES.    Buyer shall bear all applicable federal state municipal and other taxes (such as sales use value added
or similar taxes) all customs, duties, imports, and similar charges and all personal property taxes assessible on the products after delivery to the carrier at Southwall's designated site. Unless
Buyer provides Buyer's resale permit or certificate with its order, Buyer will be invoiced for the appropriate sales and use taxes. 


        6.    SECURITY INTEREST.    Southwall retains a purchase money security interest in the products (and replacements)
and all proceeds and products thereof until the full purchase price therefor (including taxes and additional charges) has been paid. Southwall shall have with respect to such items the rights of a
secured party pursuant to the California Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to repossess and remove such items without prejudice to any other rights Southwall may have at law or in equity. 


        7.    LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES FOR HEAT MIRRORTM PRODUCTS.    The sole warranty
provided by Southwall to Buyer with respect to Heat MirrorTM products is that contained in the Heat MirrorTM Limited Warranty set forth in Appendix III of the Heat
MirrorTM Manual. THE HEAT MIRRORTM LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND TO ANY HEAT MIRRORTM PRODUCTS SEPARATELY OR AS PART OF AN ASSEMBLY THAT HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO
MISUSE, ACCIDENT OR IMPROPER STORAGE, INSTALLATION OR APPLICATION, OR TO HEAT MIRRORTM PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN ALTERED OR REPAIRED TO ANY LABOR CHARGES OR APPLICATION, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
FOR PHYSICAL REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. 


        THE
HEAT MIRRORTM WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND EXCLUDES WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND OF ANY OTHER SIMILAR OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF SOUTHWALL. 


        LIMITED
WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES FOR NON HEAT MIRRORTM PRODUCTS. Southwall warrants to Buyer for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of original
shipment of Buyer that products delivered by Southwall to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall substantially comply with Southwall's product specification, except that Buyer shall have the exclusive
responsibility for materials furnished by Buyer. Southwall's obligation under this warranty is limited to replacing or repairing, at its option and expense, any product found by Southwall to be
defective. The procedure for returning defective products shall be the same as that for returning rejected products set forth in Article 3 "Acceptance". 


        THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTENT TO ANY PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO MISUSE, ACCIDENT OR IMPROPER STORAGE, INSTALLATION OR APPLICATION TO PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN ALTERED OR
REPAIRED, TO ANY LABOR CHARGES FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE FOR PHYSICAL REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. 


        THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND EXCLUDES WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR 









MERCHANT FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON INFRINGEMENT AND OF ANY OTHER SIMILAR OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF SOUTHWALL. 


        8.    TERMINATION.    



        (a)    Termination for Default.    Failure to make any payment when due in accordance with the terms hereof shall
constitute a default. Any other material breach of this contract by either party shall constitute a default if not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is given.
Upon default by either party, the other party may terminate this contract on ten (10) days written notice. 


        (b)    Termination for Insolvency.    Either party may terminate this contract immediately upon written notice if the
other party is insolvent or has made any assignment by operation of law or otherwise of this contract or any of its rights hereunder for the benefit of creditors. 


        9.    Buyer Changes.    Termination and Delays. 


        (a)  Order
agreements pursuant to this quotation may be changed or terminated by the Buyer only with the specific approval of Southwall, and shall be subject to change or
termination charges which shall include, among other things, compensation for specific expenses and commitments already incurred or made in connection with the orders and a reasonable allowance for
overhead general and administration expenses and profit, determined in accordance with Southwall's standard accounting practices. A minimum of 10% cancellation fee will be applicable to orders
cancelled after 48 hours. Change orders may also necessitate a revision in shipment dates. 


        (b)  If
the Buyer causes a delay in contract completion or requests that shipment be delayed, Southwall shall have the right to submit invoices for products after giving
notice to the Buyer that the products are ready for shipment, which invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days. Risk of loss shall pass to the Buyer on the date the
ready-for-shipment notice is given and the Buyer shall pay all
necessary storage charges incurred thereafter. Southwall shall be equitably compensated for any additional costs it may incur by reason of such delay. 



        10.    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.    ANY PROVISION HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, IN NO EVENT SHALL SOUTHWALL

4.0	

PROCEDURE
	

 	

4.1	

Claims for master roll defects or defects found on incoming inspection of the rolls at V Kool or Huper Optik must be submitted to Southwall within 60 days of shipment of the rolls. Distributor warranty claims, if any, must be submitted monthly.
It is important that claims are not accumulated or batched up for a long period of time before submitting to Southwall.
	

 	

4.2	

Prior to returning any samples, defective materials, or warranty claims, an RMA/CFF number (found in Return Material Authorization / Customer Feedback Form) shall be obtained in advance and a copy of the RMA/CFF Form shall accompany any sample(s),
roll(s), and returned product(s). The RMA/CFF number shall also be referred in all correspondence with STI, whether it is Customer Services, Engineering, QC Engineers, or Manufacturing.
	

 	

4.3	

The Return Material Authorization & Customer Feedback Form, 001-0072, must be initiated by the customer and sent via email to the Manager of Customer Service at STI.
	

 	

4.4	

Fill in the fields in the top section (outlined in red) of the form. Please provide full details including the Original Sales Order Number, Invoice Number, Lot Numbers, Product Part Number, and Quantity Claimed. Be as specific as possible in
describing the reason for return and/or defects found.
	

 	

4.5	

When the Manager of Customer Services at STI receives the form, he/she will issue an RMA/CFF number, log the claim into the STI RMA/CFF Claims Log and return the form to the requestor via email within 48 hours of receipt. The appropriate
personnel within STI shall be advised of the open claim and requested to take the necessary actions to resolve the claim.
	

 	

4.6	

When the requestor receives the numbered form and instructions regarding where to send samples and/or rolls, he/she shall print a copy of the form to accompany every sample sent. For instance, if samples are sent simultaneously to Palo Alto and Tempe,
 a copy of the form shall be attached to each sample sent.
	

 	

4.7	

Each sample shall also indicate the roll number and description of the defect. If possible, the defect should be highlighted with a marker.
	

 	

4.8	

STI and V-Kool / Huper Optik shall refer to the RMA/CFF claim number in all correspondence relating to the claim.
	

 	

4.9	

Administrative claims for credit only (no samples required) will be processed within 72 hours upon receipt. Claims for warranty will be processed within 72 hours of receipt.
	
 	

 	

 	

 	

 	
 	

 







	

 	

4.10	

Claims requiring receipt, analysis, and evaluation of samples will take longer than 72 hours. The length of time to process such claims is dependent upon receipt of the sample and evaluations that are often done at multiple plants and by the
subcontractors. Thus, a typical turn around time cannot be determined in advance.

Exhibit 10  


 Southwall's Limited Warranty  







	EXHIBIT 10	 	SOUTHWALL'S LIMITED WARRANTY




SOUTHWALL'S
PRODUCT WARRANTY 


Southwall
Technologies Inc (SOUTHWALL) warrants that Product will maintain its properties without blistering, bubbling, cracking, delaminating, fading, demetalizing, discoloring, or peeling when
properly installed on the interior surface of glass doors and windows for the following periods from the completed installation date: 



	Installation
 
	 	Warranty Period

	Automotive	 	[***] Years
	Flat Glass Architectural — Commercial	 	[***] Years
	Flat Glass Architectural — Residential	 	[***]








[***]





In
the event the product is defective under the stipulations of this warranty, as your sole and exclusive remedy SOUTHWALL will replace the defective product and provide, to the authorized dealer, a
standard fee for removal and re-application labor. SOUTHWALL's liability is limited to the replacement and re-installation labor of only such quantity of film
judged to be defective by the manufacturer. 



In
the event the product is installed within 100 miles of a saltwater source such as an ocean, gulf, or sea, an industry standard edge seal must be correctly applied extending from the surface of the
film to the glass, covering the slit edge of the film. 


DO
NOT WASH FOR AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION. This product does not have the hard surface characteristics of glass; therefore, care should be exercised in the selection of
materials for cleaning. A soft clean Turkish towel or clean synthetic sponge is recommended for washing, followed by a soft cloth or a good soft squeegee for drying the window. Common cleaning
solutions such as water, or water alcohol mixtures—which do not contain abrasive materials—may be used. DO NOT USE AMMONIA CLEANERS. Note that the hazy appearance is caused by
moisture used in applying the film. After the moisture dries, the hazy appearance will disappear and the film will bond smoothly to the glass. 


This
limited warranty applies only to Product installed on the interior surface of glass doors and windows by an authorized Product dealer following all installation practices and guidelines
considered Best Practices by the 6Window Film Industry. There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof. There are no warranties of fitness for a particular purpose of
merchantability applicable to Product. Manufacturer's warranty does not cover improper installation. In no event shall SOUTHWALL be liable of responsible for any loss or damage, direct, incidental or
consequential, except as expressly set forth herein. This limited warranty is made in lieu of all warranties, expressed or implied, and is void if the product has been subject to abuse or improper
care. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which vary from state to state. 


This
warranty is valid only if the warranty registration form is received by SOUTHWALL within thirty (30) days from completion of installation and is signed by the customer or their duly
authorized signatory. 


Any
owner desiring warranty service on any product covered by this limited warranty, must provide the information contained on this warranty form to the Dealer or SOUTHWALL. Proof of purchase is also
required in order to obtain warranty coverage. It is recommended that the purchaser keep the completed warranty for/installation record and sales receipt together in a safe location. 





COMMERCIAL &
RESIDENTIAL TWO-YEAR LIMITED

GLASS BREAKAGE AND SEAL FAILURE WARRANTY 


Southwall
Technologies Inc. (SOUTHWALL) warrants that Product, when properly installed, will not cause glass failure due to thermal shock or seal failure for a period of two years after the
completed installation date. In the event product is found to have been the sole and direct cause of glass breakage under the "Stipulations & Restrictions for Glass Breakage Warranty" below, as
your sole and exclusive remedy SOUTHWALL will replace the glass panel and the product applied film. 


This
limited warranty applies only to Product installed on the interior surface of glass doors and windows by an authorized Product dealer following all installation practices and guidelines
considered Best Practices by the Window Film Industry. There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof. There are no warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or
merchantability applicable to Product. Manufacturer's warranty does not cover improper installation. 


STIPULATIONS &
RESTRICTIONS FOR GLASS BREAKAGE WARRANTY 


Tempered,
heat strengthened or annealed window lites (glass), including the inner (room side) pane of double pane or insulated glass, coated with Product are warranted against glass breakage due to

	Replace
the broken glass.



	2.
	Replace
or repair that portion of the window frame in immediate contact with the glass, if damaged due to the break.

	SOUTHWALL
will pay for repair or replacement of up to but not in excess of [***] per glazing unit.



	2.
	Coverage
is limited to the original owner of the property at the time of installation.



	3.
	In
no event shall SOUTHWALL be liable or responsible for any loss or damage, direct, incidental, or consequential, except as expressly set forth herein. This limited warranty is made
in lieu of all warranties, expressed or implied, and is void if the product has been subject to abuse or improper care. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other
rights, which vary from state to state.



	4.
	Pre-existing
conditions of either glass breakage or seal failure of the filmed lite voids this warranty. Seller reserves the right to inspect any job prior to final
issuance of payment by seller. Fraud by the installing dealer or customer shall void the warranty.

        l.      The
film is applied to plastics, acrylics, polycarbonates or non-glass substrates 


        m.    The
glass is found to have been cracked (either pane) or exhibit evidence of seal failure at the time of window installation 


        n.    Frames
or sealants are not resilient, such as solid metal or solid wood frames, or any hard internal without resilient expansion seals, or 



        o.    The
breakage was due to whole or part to forces not involving thermal stress. A partial list of other forces includes stress from impact, poor installation, scratching,
