OVERVIEW                         Ford Motor Company, all its subsidiaries and
                                 affiliates whether wholly owned or controlled
                                 by Ford Motor Company, as well as subsidiaries
                                 and affiliates of Ford Motor Company that
                                 might be spun off during the life of this
                                 Agreement in which latter case the provisions
                                 of this Agreement shall apply only for the
                                 remainder of its term (collectively "Ford") and
                                 AvantGo, Inc. ("AvantGo") propose to amend the
                                 existing Software License Agreement ("SLA") to
                                 enable Ford to broadly deploy AvantGo
                                 Enterprise Interactive Server software
                                 ("AvantGo Software"). AvantGo Software will be
                                 used by Ford employees and contractors.

                                 This term sheet will supersede the SLA in the
                                 event of contradictions in terms.

                                 In addition, the following sections will be
                                 stricken from the SLA:

                                 Section 1 Definitions -- "Confidential

                                 beginning with, "Confidential Information may
                                 also include oral information....."

                                 Section 12 "Confidentiality of Agreement" --
                                 Delete in its entirety.

                                 AvantGo Software will be used to deliver Ford
                                 automotive content and business applications to

                                 handheld devices such as those based on the
                                 PalmOS and WindowsCE operating systems and in-
                                 vehicle systems that may be based on
                                 alternative operating systems.

                                 Ford will be responsible for the management and
