      Re:   Tenancy of Geoworks Corporation, at 50 Route 9 North, Marlboro,
            New Jersey

Dear Mr. Toppin:

      This letter, when executed and delivered by Geoworks Corporation
("Geoworks" or "Tenant"), Toubin Realty II, LLC ("Toubin Realty II" or
"Landlord"), and First Washington State Bank, ("First Washington") shall
constitute a binding agreement among the parties.

      First Washington is the present owner of a certain mortgage and security
agreement dated February 13, 2001 given by Landlord which encumbers the fee
simple absolute estate of the Landlord and which secures the payment of certain
indebtedness owed by the Landlord to First Washington evidenced by a certain
promissory note dated February 13, 2001, ("Note"). First Washington and Geoworks
are parties to a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement dated
April 3, 2001.

      Geoworks has indicated that it will be ceasing its operations in New
Jersey and seeks to terminate its tenancy as of March 31, 2002. This is an
anticipatory breach and a default under the Lease Agreement.

      This Agreement is being entered into in settlement of the Landlord's
claims against the Tenant arising out of its anticipatory breach of the Lease
Agreement. The monies being retained by/paid to the Landlord under this
Agreement represent the bargained for consideration due to Landlord for
forgiving Tenant's future performance under this Lease before the Term thereof
would have expired on or about July 31, 2011, and in settlement of the Tenant's
uncurable default under the Lease Agreement.
<PAGE>

                                  Exhibit 10.16

      Set forth below are the terms and conditions of the settlement between the
parties. All capitalized terms used below have the same meaning as the defined
terms in the Lease Agreement:

      1. The Termination Date of the Lease shall be March 31, 2002. Geoworks
shall surrender possession of the Premises by that date, in good condition and
state of repair as required by the terms of the Lease.

      2. In consideration of the Landlord forgiving Tenant's future performance
under this Lease after March 31, 2002,and in settlement of the Tenant's
uncurable default under the Lease Agreement, the Landlord shall receive the
following compensation from the Tenant, which Tenant acknowledges is fair and
reasonable:

      a. The Tenant's full Security Deposit in the sum of $73,333 will be
retained by the Landlord as partial compensation for its agreement to forgive
Tenant's future performance under this Lease after March 31, 2002 and in
settlement of the Tenant's uncurable default under the Lease Agreement.

      b. The payment to Landlord of the $500,000.00 face amount of the letter of
credit, or the release of $500,000.00 of Tenant's funds to Landlord in exchange
for the surrender of the letter of credit, in whatever manner is required so
that the entire sum can be paid to the landlord immediately and irrevocably, as
additional consideration for the forgiveness of Tenant's future obligations
under the Lease and in settlement of the Tenant's uncurable default under the
Lease Agreement.

      c. Tenant shall convey to Landlord on March 31, 2002, as additional
consideration for the forgiveness of its future obligations under this Lease,
and in settlement of the Tenant's uncurable default under the Lease Agreement,
all right, title and interest to all furniture, fixtures and equipment listed on
Schedule A (as listed in Arenson Office Furnishings invoice 131669, dated August
17, 2001 plus the kitchen appliances), free and clear of any and all liens or
encumbrances WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, "AS IS, WHERE IS", THAT IS,
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The parties acknowledge that this is an approximate list,
and that more or less personal property may be left on the Premises. The parties
will do a walk through prior to March 31, 2002, to confirm that Landlord is
satisfied with the personal property actually left behind. (The form of bill of
sale is attached.)

      3. The effectiveness of this Agreement is expressly conditioned upon: (i)
the consent of the issuer of the letter of credit, in a form acceptable to
Landlord, to the payment to Landlord of the $500,000.00 face amount thereof, or
the release of $500,000.00 of Tenant's funds to Landlord in exchange for the
surrender of the letter of credit; (ii) the retention of the security deposit in
the amount of $73,333; and (iii) the delivery of a bill of sale evidencing the
transfer of ownership in the furniture, fixtures and equipment to the Landlord.

      4. Subject to this Agreement becoming effective pursuant to paragraph 3
above, all claims that the Landlord and Tenant could have against each other
arising out of the Lease shall

<PAGE>

                                  Exhibit 10.16

be fully released, except with respect to: (i) the matters that are executory
under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) any claims made against either party
thereto, alleging personal injury or property damage that occurred at the Real
Property, which claims would be covered by their general public liability
insurance; and (iii) any environmental claims that are made as a result of
Geoworks' tenancy.

      5. Geoworks will promptly submit an Affidavit of Non-Applicability to the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection at no cost to the Landlord.
Tenant agrees to simultaneously deliver to Landlord a copy of all documentation
that it submits to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in this
regard. Tenant also agrees to deliver to Landlord a copy of all documentation
that it receives from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
promptly following its receipt of same.

      6. Landlord agrees to deposit the sum of $500,000, as described in
paragraph 2(b) above, when received from Geoworks, in an interest bearing
account at First Washington.

      7. Landlord will reasonably cooperate with the telephone and copier
vendors and allow them to remove their equipment from the premises in a manner
that does not damage the premises without additional charge. Furthermore,
Landlord will allow Geoworks or its agents access to the premises to remove
certain boxed materials that are prominently identified as Geoworks property on
the walk through.

      8. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified except by a written
agreement executed by the parties and represents the complete agreement of the
parties with respect to the termination of the Lease.

      In the event Geoworks chooses to wire the $500,000 (rather than go through
a draw procedure on the letter of credit), I will act as an escrow agent to
ensure that the original letter of credit and cancellation notice to the issuer
are overnighted to the issuer before the $500,000 is deposited into the interest
bearing account at First Washingtoon in Landlord's name referred to above. Once
Landlord has confirmed its satisfactory walk through of the premises and
inspection ofthe remaining equipment and I have the counterpart originals of
this letter signed by all parties and the original letter of credit and
cancellation notice in hand, I will fax counterparts of all executed originals
to all the parties and instruct Geoworks to wire the $500,000 to my escrow
account. Upon confirmation of receipt of these good funds, I will overnight the
original letter of credit and cancellation notice along with one original
counterpart of this letter agreement to the issuer.

      Upon confirmation of receipt of these documents from issuer, I will then
transfer the received funds to Landlord's account at First Washington and the
transaction will be closed. Please countersign a copy of this letter below to
confirm your agreement to the foregoing terms and conditions. Thank you.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     \S\
