                                  SCHEDULE D TO
                 EXCEPTIONS INDICATED IN SECTION 5. (b) and (f)

1.    See the list of Flex UI licensees listed on Schedule A.

2.    In the Settlement and License Agreement dated December 28th, 2000 with
Openwave Systems, Inc., Seller settled litigation with Openwave and cross
licensed the Flex UI patents along with one other patent then or within eighteen
months thereafter owned by Geoworks to be selected by Openwave by the end of
this eighteen month period. Therefore, the Flex UI patents are and potentially
one additional Patent could be subject to the terms of this agreement.

3.    In the Cross-License Agreement dated September 1, 2000 with
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, the Flex UI patents, US patent #5,742,905, US
patent #6,317,781 and US #5,742,668 patent (as a continuation of US '905
patent), were cross licensed to Ericsson and its affiliates and will remain
subject to the terms of this agreement.

4.    In connection with the purchase of the AirBoss business unit from
Telcordia Technologies, Inc., Telcordia assigned several patents to Geoworks,
including US patents #5,742,905 and #5,742,668 patent (as a continuation of US
'905 patent), and Geoworks licensed back the rights to these patents to
Telcordia and its affililates. Therefore, the #905 Patent remains subject to the
terms of this agreement.

5.    In the License Agreement dated October 8, 2001 with GoAmerica Corporation,
the Flex UI patents were licensed to GoAmerica and its affilates along with
another patent of Geoworks. The Flex UI patents will remain subject to this
agreement.

6.    In the conduct of its business, Geoworks sold and licensed various
products that may have incorporated technologies infringing on the Patents to
various persons. Also, in connection with the sale of its legacy assets, i.e.,
the AirBoss, Mobile Server Plus, GEOS and GEOS-SC technologies, Geoworks has
agreed that neither it nor any successor in interest to any of the Patents would
sue such purchaser, its suppliers or customers for any infringement of the
Patents occasioned by the manufacture, use or distribution of such legacy
assets. Therefore, Buyer's ability to sue such persons for infringement would be
limited by such agreements.

            (b) The Lease shall be terminated upon full execution of this
Agreement by all of the Parties;

            (c) Personal Property Remaining on the Premises. Upon full execution
of this Agreement by all of the Parties, Geoworks shall be deemed to have

executed Agreeement, the executed bill of sale, and the Settlement Sum, AREI
will dismiss the Action with prejudice, each side to bear its own costs and
fees.

      2. Bankruptcy. If within ninety-one (91) days after the payment of the
Settlement Sum, Geoworks files for bankruptcy, or an involuntary bankruptcy
petition is filed against Geoworks that is not dismissed, and action is taken by
any party to recover any portion of the Settlement Sum, AREI shall be entitled
to a claim against the debtor's estate for breach of the lease as provided for
by law, and such claim shall not be limited to the amount of the Settlement Sum.

      3. Releases.

            (a) Except for the obligations set forth in this Agreement, AREI
hereby specifically releases and forever discharges Geoworks and its employees,
agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, assigns, administrators and

releases set forth in paragraph 3 above, each party expressly waives any rights
or benefits available to it under the provisions of California Civil Code
Section 1542, which provides:

            A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
      not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
      release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
      settlement with the debtor.

      5. No Admission of Liability. This Agreement is entered into in compromise
of disputed claims. It is fully acknowledged by the Parties that the execution
of this Agreement is not and shall not be construed in any way as an admission
of wrongdoing or liability by any Party.

      6. Performance of Necessary Acts. The Parties agree to perform any and all
acts and to execute and deliver any and all documents which may be reasonably
necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, regardless of whether
such acts and documents are specifically mentioned herein.

agreement of settlement among the Parties, and supersedes any prior oral or
written agreement as to the subject matter herein. The Parties acknowledge that
there are no other warranties, promises, assurances, or representations of any
kind, express or implied, upon which the Parties have relied in entering into
this Agreement, unless expressly set forth herein. This Agreement shall not be
modified except by written agreement signed by the Parties.

of this Agreement, and understand and acknowledge the significance and
consequence of each such term. The Parties acknowledge that they have had a full
opportunity to discuss this Agreement with legal counsel of their own choosing.

deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not be
interpreted or construed based on the Parties' respective contributions to the
