"Securities Act"), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), as the case may be, and (ii) did not at the time they were

Agreement, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a

necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

the Commission) and fairly presented the consolidated financial position of
Yahoo! and its subsidiaries as at the respective dates and the consolidated
results of its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that
the unaudited interim financial statements were or are subject to normal and
recurring year-end adjustments which were not or are not expected to be material
in amount.

                  ---------------------------------
acquired by Yahoo! will be acquired for investment for Yahoo!'s own account, not
as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any
part thereof, and that Yahoo! has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  Yahoo! further represents

arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Net2Phone Shares.

business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has acquired
sufficient information about Net2Phone to reach an informed and knowledgeable
decision to acquire the Net2Phone Shares.  Yahoo! has such business and
financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own
interests in connection with the purchase of the Net2Phone Shares.

     Section 3.7  Restricted Securities. Yahoo! understands that the Net2Phone
                  ---------------------
Shares are characterized as "restricted securities" under applicable U.S.
federal and state securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from
Net2Phone in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, pursuant to
these laws and applicable regulations, Yahoo! must hold the Net2Phone Shares
indefinitely unless they are registered with the Commission and qualified by

                                      iii
<PAGE>

state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification
requirements is available.  Yahoo! further acknowledges that if an exemption
from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on
various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale,
the holding period for the Net2Phone Shares, and on requirements relating to
Net2Phone which are outside of Yahoo!'s control, and which Net2Phone is under no
obligation and may not be able to satisfy.  In this connection, Yahoo!
represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and
understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

     Section 3.8  Legends.  Yahoo! understands that the Net2Phone Shares, and
                  -------
any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, may bear one or
all of the following legends:

REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE."

extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so
legended.

to be issued to Net2Phone pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued pursuant to
the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Yahoo! with the Commission on
January 12, 2000 (the "Shelf Registration Statement"), and as such shall be
deemed unrestricted securities for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act
and shall be tradeable by Net2Phone without any contractual restriction (other
than as set forth in this Agreement) created under any contract, agreement or
similar instrument to which Yahoo! is a party or by which any of its properties
or assets may be bound or, to the knowledge of Yahoo!, created under any other
contract, agreement or similar instrument.
