                   (3969-3975 E. Bayshore Road -- Building 1)

      This First Amendment to Lease dated January 1, 1989 between Judd
Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company (as assignee of Bay
Laurel Investment Company, a California general partnership) and Southwall
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called respectively
Lessor and Lessee) for the premises commonly known as 3969-3975 E. Bayshore
Road, Palo Alto, California (Building 1), shall be effective as of the 1st day
of January, 2000.

                                    Recitals

      A. Lessee has exercised its First Option to Extend under Section 25 of the
lease, and Lessor and Lessee by this amendment desire to establish the Fair
Market Rental Value as required by Section 25.

      B. Lessor and Lessee desire to change the lease from what is commonly
known as "triple net" to what is commonly known as "modified gross."

      C. The lease is hereby amended as set forth below.

                                    Agreement

      1. The base monthly rent for the first (1st) year of the First Extended
Term per Section 25 of the lease ("Fair Market Rental Value") shall be Seventy
Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($70,400.00).

      2. As additional rent, Lessee shall pay to Lessor Lessee's "pro rata
share" (as defined in Section 37 of the lease) of Lessor's "direct expenses" (as
defined in Section 38 of the lease) in accordance with the following provisions:

            a. Lessor's annual direct expenses shall be estimated by Lessor from
time to time and Lessee, throughout the term of the lease, shall pay to Lessor,
each month, an amount equal to 1/12 of Lessee's pro rata share of Lessor's
estimated annual direct expenses. Lessor shall deliver to Lessee within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of each calendar year a
reasonably detailed statement showing Lessor's actual direct expenses incurred
during the preceding calendar year. If Lessee's payments under this Section 2
during the preceding calendar year exceed Lessee's pro rata share as indicated
on said statement, Lessor shall pay to Lessee an amount equal to any excess
payment within ten (10) days after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said
statement, subject to any offsets Lessor might otherwise have. If Lessee's
payments under this

Section 2 during said preceding calendar year were less than Lessee's pro rata
share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of
the deficiency within ten (10) days after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said
statement.

            b. These monthly payments of additional rent shall be due on the
same day as the base rent is due, which is the first day of each month, and
payment shall be in the form of a single check of an amount equal to the base
rent plus the additional rent.

            c. Exhibit A attached hereto, and incorporated by this reference,
reflects Lessee's pro rata share of Lessor's estimated annual direct expenses
for the calendar year 2000.

            d. As of the commencement of the First Extended Term of the lease,
Lessee's monthly rent for direct expenses under this Section 2 shall be Two
Thousand Two Hundred Forty Dollars ($2,240.00), bringing the total monthly rent
due under Sections 1 and 2 hereof to Seventy Two Thousand Six Hundred Forty
Dollars ($72,640.00).

       3. A portion of the additional rent paid pursuant to Section 2 of this
amendment shall be in lieu of Lessee's obligation to reimburse Lessor for
insurance costs under Section 11(b) of the lease. All other provisions of
Section 11(b) shall remain binding on the parties.

      4. A portion of the additional rent paid pursuant to Section 2 of this
amendment shall be in lieu of Lessee's obligation to reimburse Lessor for real
estate taxes, or in the alternative, to pay them directly, under Section 32 of
the lease. All other provisions of Section 32 shall remain binding on the
parties.
