1.      Term and Extension. The term of the Agreement is extended to June 30,
        2002. Geoworks will agree to extend the term of the Agreement beyond
        June 30, 2002 if Toshiba requires an extension in order to meet the
        initial ### shipment quota below.

        Agreement covers ###. The parties agree that Toshiba will pay Geoworks a
        non-refundable paid up license and royalty of ###. Thereafter, Toshiba
        will pay Geoworks ### manufactured and shipped by June 30, 2002, or any
        mutually agreed extension.

3.      Intellectual Property. Geoworks is the owner of U.S. Patent No.
        5,327,529 entitled "Process of Designing User's Interfaces for
        Application Programs" and corresponding Japanese Patent No. 2,794,339
