This Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, dated as of May 24, 2001
(this "Agreement"), is between CNET Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation, with
a business address at 150 Chestnut Street, San Francisco, California 94111
("CNET"), and deltathree, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with a business address
at 75 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004 ("Delta Three").
Delta Three and CNET are parties to that certain CNET Promotion
Agreement, dated as of September 22, 1999 (as amended by the First Amendment,
dated June 5, 2000, the "Promotion Agreement"), pursuant to which the Delta
Three agreed to provide its PC-to-telephone connection product and related
services to users of the CNET Sites (as such term is defined in the Promotion
Agreement), and CNET agreed to provide various promotional opportunities to
Delta Three. All capitalized terms without definition herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Marketing Agreement.
Delta Three was required to pay CNET a total of $11,000,000 for the
Promotions to be run on the CNET Sites.
The parties now wish to resolve any and all actual and potential
disputes between them regarding the Marketing Agreement, and therefore agree as
follows:

date hereof, Delta Three shall deliver by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account set forth on Exhibit A hereto, an amount equal to
$1,750,000 in full satisfaction of any and all obligations, whether actual or
alleged of Delta Three to CNET under the Promotion Agreement. In the event that
Delta Three fails to pay such amount within two business days of the date
hereof, CNET shall be entitled to pursue all of its rights and remedies
available to it under the Promotion Agreement and to seek payment for all
amounts that accrued to CNET under the Promotion Agreement.
(b) MEDIA PLACEMENTS. Subject to Delta Three delivering the
payment described in paragraph 1(a), CNET shall provide Delta Three with media

subject to availability, prior to June 30, 2001, and in accordance with an
insertion order to be executed by Delta Three and delivered to CNET on or before
June 1, 2001. If Delta Three fails to deliver the payment in paragraph 1(a) or
fails to execute the insertion order and deliver it to CNET on or before June 1,
2001, CNET shall not be obligated to provide the media placements to Delta Three
as described hereunder.

accordance with Delta Three's standard terms and conditions.

rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of
California. Each party understands that the facts in respect of which the
release made in this Agreement is given may hereafter turn out to be other than

facts turning out to be different and agrees that this Agreement shall be and
remain in all respects effective and not subject to termination or rescission by
virtue of any such difference in facts.
Each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that nothing
contained in this Agreement shall release or discharge any of them from any
claims arising out of the rights, duties and obligations assumed under this
Agreement, any violation of the surviving provisions of the Promotion Agreement
that arises after the effective date of this Agreement, or any CNET claim
arising from its capacity as a Delta Three shareholder.

STATES CODE. In the event that CNET does not receive the payment in paragraph
1(a) or such payment is set aside, the release of Delta Three set forth in this
paragraph 2 shall be null and void and CNET shall have the right to pursue all
rights and remedies available under the Promotion Agreement and seek payment for
all amounts accrued to CNET under the Promotion Agreement.
3. NO PRIOR ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS. Each party represents that it has not
heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer any claim
or right as against another party to any other person not a party hereto and is
fully entitled to compromise and settle same. Each of the parties to this

by him.
