▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Voxware and Castle Creek are referred to herein each,

WHEREAS, on August 15, 2000, Voxware issued and sold to Castle Creek 4,000
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
("Series A Stock"); and
WHEREAS, on August 29, 2001, Voxware issued to Castle Creek 3,365 shares of

Stock"), in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Series A Stock held

WHEREAS, the Company was required to redeem the Series B Stock on February
10, 2003 for an amount equal to $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid
dividends; and
WHEREAS, Voxware believes that, as a result of its current financial
condition, funds are not legally available for the redemption of the Series B

WHEREAS, on February 13, ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ filed a civil action against
Voxware in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Civil
Action No. 03-196 (the "Litigation") with respect to Voxware's failure to redeem
the Series B Stock; and
WHEREAS, the Parties agree that they are entering into this Settlement
Agreement solely for the purposes of settling all disagreements between them and
to avoid further costs and liabilities with respect to these disagreements. This
Settlement Agreement is the product of informed negotiations and compromises of
previously stated legal positions.

set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties do stipulate and agree
as follows:
1. Settlement of the Litigation: In full and final settlement of the
Litigation, the following transactions will have occurred for the benefit of

D Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 16, 2003 (the
"Series D Purchase Agreement") between Voxware and the Purchaser listed therein,
which agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and
b. Castle Creek and Voxware shall have amended the Exchange
Agreement to limit conversions of Series B Stock so that the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), issued upon
such conversions does not exceed an aggregate of 17,250,000, which conversions
shall be subject in all events to the rights, preferences, privileges and other
terms of the Series B Stock as stated in Voxware's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B
(the "Amended and Restated Charter").

Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
Castle Creek file the Stipulated Judgment, except upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (as defined in Section 4 below).
3. Closing: The "Closing" of this Settlement Agreement shall be deemed to

7. Release by Voxware. Upon the date of Closing, Voxware, on its own
behalf and on behalf of all persons and entities acting through or under, in

affiliates, owners, officers, directors, Board of Directors, managers,
administrators, attorneys, agents, representatives, successors (including
successors to the business by way of asset purchase), assigns, and all persons
acting by, through, or in concert with them (collectively, the "Castle Creek
Releasees") from any and all past, present or future claim, demand, order,
directive, action, suit, cause of action, request for declaratory relief,
cross-claim, third-party action, arbitration or mediation, demand, loss of
services, compensation, charges, complaints, debts, obligations, promises or
agreements, any and all costs, losses (including actual, alleged, threatened or
potential loss of profit or business), damages (including all consequential,
punitive and exemplary damages), and expenses (including all attorneys' fees and
other professional fees), and any and all known or unknown bodily injuries or
personal injuries (whether sounding in tort, contract, equity, nuisance,
trespass, negligence, or strict liability), loss of quality of life, property
damage (including but not limited to injury to property) or liabilities of any

Castle Creek or other Castle Creek Releasees that are unknown or unknowable to

increase in amount or in severity over time, that the injuries, damages, and/or
claims may be progressive, cumulative, unknown and/or unforeseeable, and that
there may be hidden, unknown and unknowable damages or costs. Voxware hereby
acknowledges that it is aware that it may hereafter discover facts in addition
to or different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to
the subject matter of the Voxware Claims, but that it is its intention hereby to
fully, finally and forever to settle and release any and all matters, disputes
and differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which do now or may
in the future exist and that, in furtherance of such intention, releases hereby
given shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases,
notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different
facts.
Voxware warrants and represents that it has not filed any Voxware Claims
(by means of any individual or group charges or complaints or in any other
manner) against Castle Creek or any other Castle Creek Releasees before any
court or other agency of federal, state or local government, or any other forum.
5
Voxware warrants and represents to the best of Voxware's knowledge that no
Voxware Claim has been asserted or filed against Castle Creek or any other
Castle Creek Releasees by any person or entity acting through or under, in
control of or controlled by Voxware.
8. Release by Castle Creek. Upon the date of Closing, Castle Creek, on its
own behalf and on behalf of all persons and entities acting through or under, in
control of it or controlled by it, does hereby expressly fully release and
forever discharge (a) Voxware, and Voxware's employees, subsidiaries,
affiliates, owners (other than Voxware Investor Releasees (as defined below)),
officers, directors, Board of Directors, managers, administrators, attorneys,
agents, representatives, successors (including successors to the business by way
of asset purchase), assigns, and all persons acting by, through, or in concert
with them (collectively, the "Voxware Company Releasees") and (b) each of the
Purchasers under the Series D Purchase Agreement, as listed on Exhibit 1.01
thereto, together with such Purchasers' respective employees, subsidiaries,
affiliates, shareholders, investors, owners, officers, directors, Board of
Directors, managers, administrators, attorneys, agents, representatives,
successors (including successors to the business by way of asset purchase),
assigns, and all persons acting by, through, or in concert with them
(collectively, the "Voxware Investor Releasees" and, together with the Voxware
Company Releasees, the "Voxware Releasees") from any and all past, present or
future claim, demand, order, directive, action, suit, cause of action, request
for declaratory relief, cross-claim, third-party action, arbitration or
mediation, demand, loss of services, compensation, charges, complaints, debts,
obligations, promises or agreements, any and all costs, losses (including
actual, alleged, threatened or potential loss of profit or business), damages
(including all consequential, punitive and exemplary damages), and expenses
(including all attorneys' fees and other professional fees), and any and all
known or unknown bodily injuries or personal
6
injuries (whether sounding in tort, contract, equity, nuisance, trespass,
negligence, or strict liability), loss of quality of life, property damage
(including but not limited to injury to property) or liabilities of any kind,
whether at law or in equity, whether presently known, unknown or unknowable, or
any other statutory, regulatory, administrative or common law cause of action of
any sort or nature from the beginning of the world to the date hereof, which
Castle Creek may have or claim to have against the Voxware Releasees as follows,
(i) in the case of the Voxware Company Releasees, arising out of, from or
relating in any way to any occurrence up to and including the date of execution
of this Settlement Agreement (the "Castle Creek Company Claims"), including
without limitation any claims relating to the terms of the Series B Stock, the
Series D Stock or the Financing, and, (ii) in the case of Voxware Investor
Releasees, arising out of, from or relating in any way to the terms of the
Series B Stock or the Series D Stock or any occurrence otherwise arising out of,
from or relating in any way to the Financing (the "Castle Creek Investor
Claims", collectively with the Castle Creek Company Claims, shall be referred to
as the "Castle Creek Claims"); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
deemed to limit (a) Castle Creek's rights or claims under the Series D Stock
Purchase Agreement arising out of, from or relating in any way to any occurrence
after the date of execution of this Settlement Agreement or (b) Castle Creek's
rights or claims under the other transaction documents related to the Financing

Amended and Restated Charter, arising out of, from or relating in any way to any
occurrence after the Closing.
Upon the date of Closing, Castle Creek forever waives, surrenders and
abandons any and all Castle Creek Claims, on its own behalf and on behalf of all
persons and entities acting through or under, or in control of it or controlled
by it. Castle Creek hereby expressly assumes
7
the risk that there may be Castle Creek Claims against Voxware or other Voxware
Releasees that are unknown or unknowable to it and that the damages or costs
sustained by them as a result of any released Castle Creek Claims may be greater
than each currently realizes, that the damages may increase in amount or in
severity over time, that the injuries, damages, and/or claims may be
progressive, cumulative, unknown and/or unforeseeable, and that there may be
hidden, unknown and unknowable damages or costs. Castle Creek hereby
acknowledges that it is aware that it may hereafter discover facts in addition
to or different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to
the subject matter of the Castle Creek Claims, but that it is its intention
hereby to fully, finally and forever to settle and release any and all matters,
disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which do
now or may in the future exist and that, in furtherance of such intention,
releases hereby given shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general
releases, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or
different facts.
Castle Creek warrants and represents that, other than the Litigation, it
has not filed any Castle Creek Claims (by means of any individual or group
charges or complaints or in any other manner) against Voxware or any other
Voxware Releasees before any court or other agency of federal, state or local
government, or any other forum.
Castle Creek warrants and represents that, to the best of Castle Creek's
knowledge, other than the Litigation, no Castle Creek Claim has been asserted or
filed against Voxware or any other Voxware Releasees by any person or entity
acting through or under, in control of or controlled by Castle Creek.
9. Covenant Not to ▇▇▇. The actions to be taken in furtherance of this
Settlement Agreement shall resolve any and all Voxware Claims and Castle Creek
Claims. Upon the
8
Closing: (a) Voxware covenants that neither Voxware, nor any entity who controls
it or is controlled by it, shall ▇▇▇, or take any civil or administrative
action, or bring any other proceeding against Castle Creek or any other Castle
Creek Releasees to seek relief with respect to any Voxware Claims; and (b)
Castle Creek covenants that neither Castle Creek nor any entity who controls it
or is controlled by it shall ▇▇▇, or take any civil or administrative action, or
bring any other proceeding against Voxware or any other Voxware Releasees to
seek relief with respect to any Castle Creek Claims. The Parties further
expressly covenant and agree that they will not participate in any charge or
complaint that may be made by and person or organization on their respective
behalf.
10. Foreclosure from Claims Against Third Parties. Except as specifically
set forth herein, the Parties, each on its own behalf and on behalf of all
persons and entities acting through or under, in control of it or controlled by
it, do hereby agree: (a) that this Settlement Agreement affirmatively and
expressly forecloses Voxware and all persons and entities acting through or
under, in control of it or controlled by it from prosecuting Voxware Claims
against other third persons or entities, including all Castle Creek Releasees;
and (b) that this Settlement Agreement affirmatively and expressly forecloses
Castle Creek and all persons and entities acting through or under, in control of
or controlled by it, from prosecuting Castle Creek Claims against other third
persons or entities, including all Voxware Releasees. Except as specifically set
forth herein, the Parties further expressly covenant and agree forever to
refrain from bringing any suit or proceeding at law or in equity against third
parties or entities relating to any Voxware Claims or Castle Creek Claims.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Settlement
Agreement, any Party shall have the right to assert a Voxware Claim or a Castle
Creek Claim against any Castle Creek Releasee or Voxware Releasee, respectively,
solely in the event that
9
such Castle Creek Releasee or Voxware Releasee asserts a Castle Creek Claim or a
Voxware Claim against such Party in a court of competent jurisdiction.
11. Enforcement. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that
irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Settlement
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached and that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy
therefore. Accordingly, each of the Parties will be entitled to seek an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Settlement Agreement and
to enforce specifically its provisions in any foreign court, court of the United
States or any state court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at law or in equity.
12. Assignment. Voxware and Castle Creek each represent and warrant that,
as of the date hereof and the Closing, neither Party has or will have assigned,
transferred, conveyed, or purported to assign, transfer or convey any Voxware
Claims or Castle Creek Claims, respectively, to any other person or entity, nor
shall they hereafter do so.
13. No Admission. By entering into this Settlement Agreement, the Parties
do not intend to make, nor shall they be deemed to have made, any admission of
any kind. Nothing contained in this Settlement Agreement shall be construed as
an admission by any Party as to the merit or lack of merit of any particular
theory relating to the payment of Voxware Claims or Castle Creek Claims, as
applicable. Statements made in the course of negotiations have been and shall be
without prejudice to the rights of the Parties in any disputes or transactions
with any other persons or entities not a party to this Settlement Agreement.
14. Protection Afforded. In addition to any confidentiality provisions
contained herein and not by way of limitation thereof, this Settlement Agreement
shall be deemed to fall
10
within the protection afforded compromises and offers to compromise by Rule 408
of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any similar law provision.
15. Notices. Any statements, communications or notices to be provided
pursuant to this Settlement Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the attention of
the Parties at the addresses indicated below, until such time as notice of any
change of person to be notified or change of address is forwarded to all

with any claim arising under or related to this Settlement Agreement or the
breach or enforcement thereof (a "Release Related Claim"); and (b) irrevocably
waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such
proceeding brought in such a court or that such a court is an inconvenient
forum. Each of the Parties hereto waives personal service of process and
consents that service of process upon it may be made by certified mail, return
receipt requested, at the addresses specified or determined in accordance with
the provisions of Section 15, and service so made shall be deemed completed on
the third business day after such service is deposited in the mail. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of any Person to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law or shall limit the right of any Person to bring proceedings in
the courts of any other jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 22, "Person"
means any natural person, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited

organization, governmental body, or any other entity whatsoever. The Parties
