      SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

    

    

    

    
      THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (the “Settlement Agreement”)
      is made as of May 22, 2008 (the “Settlement Date”), by and
      between COMMERCE PLANET, INC., a Utah corporation, with
      its principal executive offices at 30 South La Patera Lane, Suite 8,
      Goleta, California 93117 (the “Company”), CHARLES
      GUGLIUZZA, a California resident and OLIVE TREE HOLDINGS, LLC,
      a California limited liability company with an address at 17 Chardonnay
      Dr., Ladera Ranch, California 92694 (hereinafter, “Gugliuzza”).
      The Company and Gugliuzza may hereinafter be referred to singularly as a
      “party,” and collectively as the “parties.”

    

    

    

    
      PREAMBLES:

    

    

    

    
      WHEREAS, over the duration of Gugliuzza’s employment and position
      as a Board Member, the Company and Gugliuzza entered into Agreements
      (the “Stock Award Agreements”) pursuant to which the
      Company agreed to issue to Gugliuzza for consideration, thirteen shares
      of the Company’s Series D convertible preferred stock (the "Series
      D Preferred") and cash payments as bonus compensation based upon the
      Company’s achievement of certain monthly gross sales revenues in fiscal
      2006 and 2007, for past services and to incentivize future performance
      and for service on the Company’s Board of Directors; and

    

    
      WHEREAS, Gugliuzza and the Company agree that the Company’s
      initial attempt to issue the Series D Preferred pursuant to the Stock
      Award Agreements was legally defective because certain preconditions to
      issuance of such stock were not satisfied by the Company; and

    

    
      WHEREAS, the Company and Gugliuzza agree that the best option to
      resolve the defects in the earlier attempted Series D Preferred
      issuance, to resolve compensation issues relating to the Stock Award
      Agreements (including satisfying the Company’s obligation to issue Form
      1099’s to the Executive for stock when properly issued) and to comply
      with relevant income tax laws and regulations is for the Company and
      Gugliuzza to rescind ab initio the Stock Award Agreements
      as of the Settlement Date by reason of the Company’s failure to obtain
      stockholder approval for the Stock Award Agreements and the stock award
      to Gugliuzza thereunder; and

    

    
      WHEREAS, the parties are desirous of settling and releasing any
      claim, liability or obligation that any party has or may have against
      the other or owe to the other in connection with the Stock Award
      Agreements, the Series D Preferred stock award, cash performance bonuses
      and all other compensation matters or otherwise.

    

    
      NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
      and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
      hereby agree as follows:

    

    
      1. Rescission of the Stock Award Agreements. On the
      Settlement Date, the Company and Gugliuzza agree to rescind ab
      initio the Stock Award Agreements and the stock award of all the
      Series D Preferred to Gugliuzza thereunder by reason of the Company’s
      failure to obtain stockholder approval for the Stock Award Agreements
      and the stock award of all the Series D Preferred to Gugliuzza.

    

    
      2. Issuance of Shares. Within ten (10) days from
      the Settlement Date, Company shall issue 1,800,000 restricted shares of
      the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) to Olive
      Tree Holdings, LLC. Olive Tree Holdings, LLC shall be deemed the owner
      of such Shares as of the Settlement Date. The Company shall issue a Form
      1099 to Olive Tree Holdings LLC that reflects a value per share on the
      Settlement Date equal to one-half (50%) of the publicly traded Company
      common stock price on the Settlement Date, in recognition of the trading
      restrictions imposed by law upon the shares so issued.

      3. Resignation as a Director. Effective as of the

      change in such intention. Gugliuzza also represents that any permitted
      transfer of the Shares by Gugliuzza will be made in compliance with
      applicable law and only in accordance with this Settlement Agreement.

    

    
      (b) No Reliance. Gugliuzza represents and warrants that Gugliuzza
      is fully familiar with the Company’s business and financial condition,
      and is acquiring the Shares solely in reliance on Gugliuzza's own
      judgment as to the business, financial condition and prospects of the
      Company and not in reliance on any representations and warranties of the
      Company with respect thereto.

    

    
      (c) Restricted Securities; Limitations on Disposition. Gugliuzza
      understands and agrees that the Shares are characterized as “Restricted
      Securities” under the federal securities laws in as much as they are
      being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public
      offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations such
      securities may be resold without registration under federal securities
      laws only in certain limited sets of circumstances.

    

    
      (d) Transfers. Gugliuzza shall not, without the prior written
      consent of the Company, voluntarily or involuntarily, publicly sell,
      assign, transfer, give, bequeath, devise, donate or otherwise dispose
      of, or pledge, deposit or otherwise encumber, in any manner, any of the
      Shares (a “Transfer”) for a period of twelve (12) months
      after the date of issuance of the Shares. The Company shall not cause or
      permit the Transfer of the Shares to be made on its books except to the
      extent expressly permitted by this 3(d).

    

    
      (e) Dilution. Gugliuzza understands and agrees that he shall have
      no anti-dilution rights or preemptive rights of any kind with respect to
      the Shares and therefore the Shares and his ownership interest in the
      Company shall be subject to dilution.

    

    
      5. Warranties and Representations of the Company; Covenants.

    

    
      (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Company is a corporation
      duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of

      to own and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its current
      or contemplated business.

    

    
      (b) Power and Authority. All corporate action on the part of the
      Company, and its officers, directors and stockholders, necessary for the

      performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, have been taken
      or will be taken, as required.

    

    
      (c) Governmental Consents. To the Company’s knowledge, no
      consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
      qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal,
      regional, state or local governmental authority on the part of the
      Company is required in connection with the transactions contemplated
      hereunder.

      (d) Dilution. The Company represents and warrants that Gugliuzza
      shall have the same rights and privileges under the Company’s
      Certificate of Incorporation as the other holders of the Company’s
      common stock, and no shareholders of the Company have been granted
      preemptive rights under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

    

    
      (e) Valid Issuance of Shares. The Shares, when issued and
      delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly
      issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens or
      encumbrances.

    

    
      6. Further Assurances. The parties hereby agree to
      execute and to deliver such additional documents, agreements and
      instruments, and take or cause to be taken such additional action as
      another party may request in order to more fully give effect to the
      settlement reflected in this Settlement Agreement.

      (a) The parties warrant that the terms and conditions of this Settlement
      Agreement (the “Confidential Information”) shall remain
      confidential and shall not be disclosed to any entity or person unless

      reasonably necessary for the conduct of the business of the Company;

      (b) The Parties agree that their obligations under Section 9(a) hereof
      are necessary and reasonable in order to protect the Parties, and
      expressly agree that due to the unique nature of the Confidential
      Information, monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate the
      Parties for any breach of any covenants and agreements set forth herein.
      Accordingly, the Parties agree and acknowledge that any such violation
      or threatened violation will cause irreparable injury to the Parties and
      that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law,
      in equity or otherwise, the Parties shall be entitled (i) to obtain
      injunctive relief against the threatened breach of this Settlement
      Agreement or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity
      of proving actual damages and, (ii) to be indemnified by the violating
      Party from any loss or harm, including but not limited to attorney’s
      fees, arising out of or in connection with any breach or enforcement of
      the Parties’ obligations under Section 9(a) hereof.
