OTHER EVENTS. On March 28, 2000, IDT Corporation entered into an agreement with AT&T Corp. pursuant to which IDT will sell, and AT&T through a newly formed business entity ("Holdo") will purchase, 14.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Net2Phone, Inc. ("Class A Stock"), at a price of $75 per share. In addition, Holdco will purchase four million newly-issued shares of Class A Stock from Net2Phone at a price of $75 per share. Following these transactions, Holdco will have a 39 percent voting stake and a 32 percent economic stake in Net2Phone for a total cash investment of approximately $1.4 billion. In addition, Holdco and IDT have reached an agreement that gives Holdco the right of first refusal to purchase IDT's remaining stake of 10 million shares of Class A Stock. If this right is exercised, Holdco will have a 59 percent voting interest and a 48 percent economic interest in Net2Phone. Holdco will also receive the option to convert IDT's remaining 10 million shares of Class A Stock into shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Net2Phone ("Common Stock"). Shares of Class A Stock have two votes per share, while shares of Common Stock have one vote per share. On March 3, 2000, AT&T entered into an agreement with IDT granting IDT an option, for a period of 180 days, to cause AT&T to purchase 2,040,817 shares of Class B Common Stock of IDT for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $75,000,000. The Class B Common Stock will carry 1/10 of a vote per share. IDT previously announced on March 27, 2000 that Liberty Media Group had agreed to purchase approximately 9.9% of the equity of IDT, equal to 3,775,000 shares of IDT's common stock exchangeable for shares of Class B Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $130,000,000. For a period of 18 months, if Holdco buys shares of Class A Stock from another holder of shares of Class A Stock, IDT will have the option to cause Holdco to purchase up to 5 million additional shares of its Class A Stock on the same terms and conditions. AT&T and IDT have agreed to enter into definitive arrangements whereby for a period of three years: o each party will become a preferred supplier to the other with respect to all services and products they offer; o AT&T will supply at most favored customer prices two-thirds of IDT's domestic telephony service needs, long distance, data, IP and local service, subject to existing commitments and provided that IDT will, as a result, experience cost savings; o AT&T will provide fibre or OC-X service to IDT on a most favored customer basis; o AT&T will sublease 40,000 square feet (with options to eventually sublease an additional 160,000 square feet) at IDT's facilities in Newark, New Jersey; o AT&T and IDT will work together to reach an agreement for co-location at each other's facilities; and o AT&T and IDT will enter into arrangements with respect to the purchase of international services. -2- In addition, AT&T will use its reasonable best efforts to cause Concert to enter into a series of commercial arrangements with IDT providing for: o Concert and IDT to become preferred suppliers to each other with respect to all products and services offered by them; o for a period of three years, to work together to purchase from each other services at preferred leading edge pricing structures; o to work together to partner in building or jointly purchasing international fibre networks or swapping capacity on each other's networks; and o to negotiate in good faith with respect to mutually beneficial co-location arrangements. Holdco shall have the right to nominate three members to the Board of Directors of Net2Phone. Until August 1, 2003 Holdco and IDT will agree to vote their shares in favor of mutually acceptable nominees to the Board of Directors of Net2Phone. Net2Phone will also grant each of AT&T and IDT a license to use Net2Phone's technologies in their own communications services. The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of AT&T, IDT and Net2Phone and is expected to close by the third quarter 2000. A special meeting of stockholders must approve amendments to the certificate of incorporation of Net2Phone authorizing an increase in the number of authorized shares of Class A Stock and an increase to the size of the Board of Directors. The transaction is also subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and certain other conditions. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the option agreement, the subscription agreement and the letter agreements, which are attached as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

As used in this Agreement, the term "Company Material Adverse Effect" means a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties, prospects, business or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that any such effect resulting from any change (i) in law, rule, or regulation or generally accepted accounting principles or interpretations thereof that applies to the Company or (ii) in economic or business conditions generally or in the telecommunications or Internet telephony industries specifically, shall not be considered when determining if a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred. 3.2.

Compliance with Laws. Except as set forth in the Company Reports filed prior to the date hereof, the business of the Company has not been, and is not being, conducted in violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, injunction, decree, arbitration award, agency requirement, license or permit of any Governmental Entity, except for violations or possible violations that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially burden or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this 5 Agreement and the Lock-up and Registration Rights Agreement. Except as set forth in the Company Reports filed prior to the date hereof, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Company is pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct the same, except for those the outcome of which are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially burden or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Lock-up and Registration Rights Agreement.

In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the other party of the commencement thereof, the other party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that such other party may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from it to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the other party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under Section 7.1 or 7.2 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof nor for any settlement thereof entered into without the consent of the other party; provided, however, that (i) if the other party shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or action or (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (x) that there may be a conflict between the positions of the other party and of the Indemnified Party in defending such claim or action or (y) that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those available to the other party, then separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, in the case of (i) and (ii)(x), or such different defenses, in the case of (ii)(y), and the other party shall be liable for any 10 reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense. 7.4. Indemnification Non-Exclusive. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common-law remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Section 8. Miscellaneous. 8.1. Survival of Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2 and 3 hereof shall survive until the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing. 8.2. Best Efforts to Satisfy Conditions. Each party shall use its best efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent to the Closing hereunder. 8.3. Certain Limitations. The indemnification obligations of the parties hereto for any breach of a representation and warranty set forth in Sections 2 and 3 shall survive for only the period applicable to such representations and warranties as set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, and thereafter all such representations and warranties of the parties hereto under this Agreement shall be extinguished; provided, however, that such indemnification obligation shall not be extinguished in the event of Investor Losses or Company Losses incurred as a result of an investigation, review, suit, claim or action that was instituted or begun prior to the expiration of the survival period set forth in Section 8.1. 8.4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Investor or the Company without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and the attempted or purported assignment shall be void; provided, however, that the Investor may, without written consent of the Company, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates (provided that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its responsibility for the performance of the obligations hereunder). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term "Affiliates" shall mean, with respect to any person or entity, any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the first such person or entity. 8.5.

Each of the Company and the Investor hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the 11 United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and the Investor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 8.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 8.7.

JONAS --------------------- Name: Howard S. Jonas Title: Chief Executive Officer AT&T CORP. By: /s/ JOHN C. PETRILLO ---------------------- Name: John C. Petrillo Title: Executive Vice President 15 EXHIBIT A LOCK-UP AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT LOCK-UP AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of March __, 2000, by and between IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and AT&T Corp., a New York corporation (the "Investor"). WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor have entered into an Option Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2000; and WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Closing (as defined below) of the Option Agreement that the Company grant Investor the registration rights set forth herein, and it is a condition to the Company's execution of the Option Agreement that the Investor agree to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: Section 1. Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement: (a) The term "Affiliate" means, with respect to any person or entity, any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the first such person or entity. (b) The terms "Closing" and "Closing Date" mean the date of the Closing, as such term is defined in the Option Agreement. (c) The term "Holder" means a holder of Registrable Securities or, unless the context otherwise requires, securities convertible into or exercisable for Registrable Securities. (d) The terms "register," "registered" and "registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement. (e) The term "Registrable Securities" means the shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Class B Common Stock") issued to the Investor pursuant to the Option Agreement (the "Securities"); provided, however, that such Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when and to the extent that (i) such Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) such Securities have become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Act (or any similar provision then in force) or another provision of Rule 144 of the Act pursuant to which all of the Investor's Securities are immediately eligible for resale or (iii) such Securities have ceased to be outstanding. Section 2. Registration Rights. 2.1. (a) Registration Upon Demand. At any time on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, one or more holders that in the aggregate beneficially own at least 20% of the Registrable Securities may make a demand that the Company effect the registration of all or part of such Holders' Registrable Securities (an "S-3 Demand Registration"). Upon receipt of a valid request for an S-3 Demand Registration, the Company shall promptly, in and any event no later than 15 days after such receipt, notify all other Holders of the making of such demand and shall use its reasonable efforts to register under the Act as expeditiously as may be practicable the Registrable Securities which Holders have requested the Company to register in accordance with this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect any registration if the number of Registrable Securities that the Company shall have been requested to register shall, in the aggregate, be less than 10% of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchased by the Investor on the Closing Date. The Holders shall have the right to two (2) S-3 Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1(a). (b) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) if a registration statement with respect thereto has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), (ii) if after it has become effective and prior to the date ninety (90) days after the effective date, such registration is materially interfered with by any stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to any of the Holders and has not thereafter become effective for not less than ninety (90) additional consecutive days, or (iii) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on the part of a Holder 2.2. "Piggy-Back" Registration. (a) At any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, if the Company proposes to register any securities under the Act in connection with any offering of its securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or their successors, or any other form for a similar limited purpose, or any registration statement 2 covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another corporation), whether or not for its own account, the Company shall furnish promptly, and in any event not less than 10 days in advance, written notice to the Holders of its intention to effect such registration and the intended method of distribution in connection therewith. Upon the written request of a Holder made to the Company within 15 days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, the Company shall include in such registration the requested number of the Holder's Registrable Securities (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its Common Stock and any other securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. (b) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall create any liability on the part of the Company or any other person to the Holders if the Company, for any reason, decides not to file a registration statement proposed to be filed pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or to withdraw such registration statement subsequent to its filing, regardless of any action whatsoever that a Holder may have taken, whether as a result of the issuance by the Company of any notice under Section 2.2(a) or otherwise. 2.3. Blackout Periods for Holders. If the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that the registration and distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof (or the use of a registration statement or related prospectus) would be materially detrimental to the Company or its shareholders, including (without limitation) that such filing could result in disclosure of material non-public information or could interfere with the Company's financing plans, and therefore the board of directors determines that it is in the Company's best interest to defer the filing or inclusion of Registrable Securities (as the case may be), and promptly gives the Holders written notice of such determination in the form of a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company following their request to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company shall be entitled to (i) postpone the filing of the registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof for a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed 90 days (a "Demand Blackout Period") after the date of such request, provided that the Company's exercise of its rights under this Section 2.3 (x) shall not result in Demand Blackout Periods for more than 180 days in any 365 day period and (y) shall not result in Demand Blackout Periods that are separated by less than 45 days, or (ii) exclude all or a portion of the Registrable Securities (on a pro-rata basis by Holder) otherwise required to be registered pursuant to Section 2.2. hereof. The Company shall 3 promptly notify each holder of the expiration or earlier termination of any Demand Blackout Period. 2.4. Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Section 2, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as may be practicable: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, use reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective for not less than ninety (90) days. (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement. (c) Use its best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities (i) for quotation on the NASDAQ National Market or listing on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or (ii) if neither such quotation system or exchange is available for quotation or listing, for listing on a national securities exchange selected by a majority in interest of the Holders of the Registrable Securities being registered. (d) Furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities registering such securities such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus (in the event of an underwritten offering), in conformity with the requirements of applicable law, and such other documents as each such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by it. (e) Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under state blue sky laws in any U.S. jurisdictions in which such registration and qualification is reasonably requested by any Holder; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions. 4 (f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form and substance as agreed to by the Company and the managing underwriter of such offering. (g) Promptly notify the Holders in writing: (i) when the registration statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the registration statement has been filed, and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or related prospectus or any written request by the SEC for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation of any proceedings by any person for that purpose, and promptly use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; and (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any written notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or overt threat of any proceeding for such purpose. (h) Notify the Holders in writing on a timely basis, at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under applicable law, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. (i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder participating in the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as if customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders participating in the registration 5 of Registrable Securities and (ii) a "Cold Comfort" letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, addressed to the board of directors of the Company, to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by applicable accounting standards, to the Holders participating in the registration of Registrable Securities. (j) Use reasonable efforts to cause the transfer agent to remove restrictive legends on certificates representing the securities covered by such registration statement, as the Company determines to be appropriate, upon advice of counsel. (k) Prepare and file with the SEC, promptly upon the request of any such Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such Holders, is required under the Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities by such Holders. (l) Make available for inspection by any Holder of such Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information (together with the Records, the "Information") reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement. Any of the Information that the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) such Information has been made generally available to the public or (iii) as necessary to enforce a Holder's rights under this Agreement. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall be responsible for any breach of the foregoing covenant by any Inspector retained by or on behalf of such Holder. The Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Information deemed confidential and the Inspectors shall not disclose such Information until such action is determined. 6 (m) Provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity and which may be the Company) for such Registrable Securities. (n) Use its reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms contemplated hereby. 2.5. Furnish Information. (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to include any Registrable Securities of any Holder in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2 that the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, any other securities of the Company held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Any such information shall be provided to the Company within any reasonable time period requested by the Company. (b) Each Holder shall notify the Company, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under applicable law, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the applicable registration statement, as then in effect, in each case only with respect to information provided by such Holder, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Such Holder shall immediately upon the happening of any such event cease using such prospectus. Any other Holders shall cease using such prospectus immediately upon receipt of notice from the Company to that effect. If so requested by the Company, each Holder shall promptly return to the Company any copies of any prospectus in its possession (other than one permanent file copy) that contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. 2.6. Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the Registrable Securities. The Company also shall be required to pay and bear the legal fees of one counsel for the Holders in an amount not to exceed $25,000 in connection with any registration. 7 2.7. Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any underwritten offering of a Holder's Registrable Securities, the Company shall not be required under Section 2.4 to register any of such Registrable Securities in connection with such underwritten offering unless (i) in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company consents to the underwriters selected by the Holders participating in the registration (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.2, the Holder accepts the underwriters selected by the Company and then, in either case (i) or (ii), the Company shall be required to register Registrable Securities only in such quantity as the lead managing underwriter determines, in its good faith discretion, will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. To the extent that the lead managing underwriter will not permit the registration of all of the Registrable Securities sought to be registered, in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, the Registrable Securities to be included shall be apportioned among the Holders on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Class B Common Stock proposed to be registered by each), first among the Holders of Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to Section 2.1, and thereafter among the Holders of Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to Section 2.2; provided, however, that the right of the underwriters to exclude Registrable Securities from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted such that all shares that are not Registrable Securities and all shares that are held by persons who are employees or directors of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. Those Registrable Securities and other securities that are excluded from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter's marketing limitation and all other Registrable Securities not originally requested to be so included shall not be included in such registration and shall be withheld from the market by the Holders thereof for a period, not to exceed 90 days, which the managing underwriter reasonably determines necessary to effect the underwritten public offering. No Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to participate in an underwritten offering unless such Holder enters into, and performs its obligations under, one or more underwriting agreements and any related agreements and documents (including an escrow agreement and/or a power of attorney with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Securities), in the form that such Holder shall agree to with the lead managing underwriter of the transaction. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, it may elect, prior to the execution of any underwriting agreement, to withdraw there from by written notice to the Company and the lead managing underwriter. Any Registrable Securities so withdrawn from an underwriting by such Holder shall be withdrawn from such registration and shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto. 8 2.8. Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 2.9. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and their respective directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Holder within the meaning of the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities joint or several) to which they may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (collectively, a "Violation") (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (z) any violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by any registration statement; and the Company will pay to each Indemnified Person any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by a Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration or is caused by any failure by the Holder to deliver a prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) as and when required under the Act after such prospectus has been timely furnished by the Company. (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, 9 claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation is caused by (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement contained in, or by any omission or alleged omission from, information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder specifically and expressly for use in any such registration statement or prospectus but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof or (y) any failure by the Holder to deliver a prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) as and when required under the Securities Act after such prospectus has been timely filed by the Company. Such Holder will pay any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties; provided that an Indemnified Person (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such Indemnified Person by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate (in the opinion of the Indemnified Person) due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 2.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to 10 the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 2.9; provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(c) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the Indemnified Person shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the Indemnified Person and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution hereunder from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities under a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2. 2.10. Lock-up and Permitted Transfers. At any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Investor shall not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any Class B Common Stock (including entering into any agreement or arrangement that has the effect of transferring all or a substantial part of the economic effect of holding the Class B Common Stock) without the written consent of the Company; provided, however, that the Investor shall be permitted to transfer (i) all or part of the Class B Common Stock to an Affiliate of the Investor, if such Affiliate and the Investor agree for the benefit of the Company that such Affiliate shall remain an Affiliate of the Investor until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) up to 20% of the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Option Agreement to any party, to the extent necessary to remedy a breach by the Investor of Section 11.1 of the Framework Agreement, dated as of October 23, 1998, by 11 and among the Investor, VLT Corporation, British Telecommunications plc, BT (Netherlands) Holdings B.V. and Thistle B.V. (the "Framework Agreement") (each such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"); provided that in connection with any proposed transfer pursuant to clause (ii) above, (x) the Investor shall deliver to the Company a certificate of an executive officer of the Investor setting forth in reasonable detail a computation made in accordance with the Framework Agreement and demonstrating that the proposed sale will remedy such breach, and (y) the Company and the Investor shall have agreed to the reinvestment of the net proceeds from the sale of such shares in equity securities of an Affiliate of the Company in such a manner so as not to cause a breach under the Framework Agreement. Without limiting any other remedy that may be available to the Company, failure of the Investor or any Permitted Transferee to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall result in termination of the Company's obligations under Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 of this Agreement with respect to the affected Class B Common Stock. 2.11. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a Permitted Transferee of Registrable Securities; provided, however, (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree with the Company in writing to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement. No other assignment of the Investor's or any Holder's rights hereunder shall be permitted, and the attempted or purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be void. 2.12. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to: (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public; (b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish such Holder upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting 12 requirements of said Rule 144 of the Act, and of the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration. 2.13 Self-Tender Protection. Until such time as the Investor and its Permitted Transferees hold less than 50% of the shares of Class B Common Stock issued to the Investor pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company shall not make a tender offer for its common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), unless such offer is extended ratably and for equivalent per share consideration to the Investor and its Permitted Transferees in respect of shares of Class B Common Stock then held by them. 2.14. Third Party Tender Protection. Until such time as the Investor and its Permitted Transferees hold less than 50% of the Class B Common Stock issued to the Investor pursuant to the Option Agreement, if (i) any person makes a tender offer for the Common Stock, (ii) such tender offer is consummated with respect to more than 20% of the outstanding Common Stock and (iii) such tender offer is not extended ratably and on an equal consideration basis to the Investor and its Permitted Transferees in respect of their holdings of Class B Common Stock, then within ten (10) business days of the date of consummation of such tender offer, the Company shall make an offer to purchase, for consideration equivalent to that paid in such tender offer, a portion of the Class B Common Stock held by the Investor and its Permitted Transferees equivalent to the portion of the outstanding Common Stock purchased pursuant to such tender offer. 2.15. Assignment of Tender Protections. Notwithstanding Section 2.11, the provisions in Sections 2.13 and 2.14 shall be automatically assigned to, and shall be enforceable against the Company by, subsequent holders of the shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued and sold hereunder, but only for so long as there is no public market for the Class B Common Stock.

In the event that LMC is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law or regulation or by legal process to disclose any Confidential Information of the Company, LMC will provide the Company with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order.

If LMC uses a degree of care to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information that is at least as great as the care it normally takes to preserve its own information of a similar nature, it will not be liable for any disclosure that occurs despite the exercise of that degree of care, and in no event will LMC be liable for any indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages unless such disclosure resulted from its willful misconduct or gross negligence in which event it will be liable in damages for the Company's lost profits resulting directly and solely from such disclosure. In the event this Agreement is terminated, LMC will, if so requested by the Company, promptly return or destroy all of the Confidential Information of the Company, including all copies, reproductions, summaries, analyses or extracts thereof or based thereon in the possession of LMC or its Representatives; provided, however, that LMC will not be required to return or cause to be returned summaries, analyses or extracts prepared by it or its Representatives, but will destroy (or cause to be destroyed) the same upon request of the Company.

The Investor covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and save and hold harmless the Company, together with its officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, trustees, affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 of the SEC under the Act), attorneys and representatives, from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims or legal damages (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants and other costs and expenses incident to any actual or threatened claim, suit, action or proceeding, whether incurred in connection with a claim against the Investor or a third party claim) (collectively, "Company Losses"), up to the amount equal to the Purchase Price arising out of or resulting from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Investor in this Agreement or in any writing delivered pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) the failure of the Investor to perform or observe fully any covenant, agreement or provision to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement. 18 8.3. Procedure. Each party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.1 and 8.2 (each, an "Indemnified Party") shall notify the other party in writing of any action against such Indemnified Party in respect of which the other party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification on account of Section 8.1 or 8.2, promptly after the receipt of notice. The omission of any Indemnified Party so to notify the other party of any such action shall not relieve such other party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent the other party shall have been materially prejudiced by the omission of such Indemnified Party so to notify it, pursuant to this Section 8.3. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the other party of the commencement thereof, the other party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that such other party may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from it to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the other party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under Section 8.1 or 8.2 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof nor for any settlement thereof entered into without the consent of the other party; provided, however, that (i) if the other party shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or action or (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (x) that there may be a conflict between the positions of the other party and of the Indemnified Party in defending such claim or action or (y) that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those available to the other party, then separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, in the case of (i) and (ii)(x), or such different defenses, in the case of (ii)(y), and the other party shall be liable for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense. 8.4. Indemnification Non-Exclusive. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common-law remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Section 9. Miscellaneous. ------------- 9.1. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement shall promptly give notice of such termination to the other party. (b) If this Agreement is terminated, as permitted by Section 9.2(a), such termination shall be without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, partner, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to any other party to this Agreement; provided that if such termination shall result from the willful (i) failure of any party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party, (ii) failure to perform a covenant made by it in this Agreement or (iii) breach by any party hereto of any of its representations or warranties contained herein, such failing or breaching party shall be fully liable for any and all losses (excluding consequential damages) incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure or breach, subject to the express limitations of Section 8. The provisions of Sections 8 and 9 shall survive any termination hereof. 9.3. Certain Limitations. The indemnification obligations of the parties hereto with respect to claims asserted for any breach of a representation and warranty set forth in Section 2 or 3 prior to expiration of the survival period applicable to such representation or warranty shall survive until such claims are finally adjudicated or otherwise resolved. 9.4.

This Agreement may not be assigned by the Investor or the Company without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and the attempted or purported assignment shall be void; provided, however, that the Investor may, without written consent of the Company, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates (provided that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its responsibility for the performance of the obligations hereunder and any such assignment shall be valid only for the time and to the extent the assignee remains an Affiliate of the Investor).

JONAS ------------------------------ Name: Howard S. Jonas Title: Chief Executive LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION By: /s/ CHARLES Y. TANABE ------------------------------ Name: Charles Y. Tanabe Title: Senior Vice President 24 EXHIBIT A FORM OF LOCK-UP, REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT LOCK-UP, REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT LOCK-UP, REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of _______ o, 2000, by and between IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and o, a o corporation (the "Investor"). WHEREAS, the Company and Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("LMC") have entered into a Subscription Agreement, dated as of March o, 2000 (the "Subscription Agreement"), pursuant to which LMC has agreed to purchase, or cause its designee to purchase, and the Company has agreed to sell to LMC or its designee, shares (the "Investor Securities") of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"); WHEREAS, Investor is LMC's designee for purposes of the Subscription Agreement; and WHEREAS, it is a condition to the consummation of the Subscription Agreement that the Company and Investor enter into this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: Section 1. Definitions. (a) For the purposes of this Agreement: ----------- "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. "Affiliate" means, with respect to any person, any other person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the first such person. "Class B Common Stock" means the Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company to be authorized pursuant to the Charter Amendment referred to in Section 2.13. "Closing" and "Closing Date" mean the date of the Closing, as such term is defined in the Subscription Agreement. "Holder" means a holder of Registrable Securities or, unless the context otherwise requires, securities convertible into or exercisable for Registrable Securities. "Initially Issued Number" means the total number of Investor Securities issued to the Investor at the Closing or, if applicable, the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable in exchange for all of the Investor Securities if all of the initially issued Investor Securities continued to be outstanding immediately prior to the Exchange Date, in each case, as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits and other similar events affecting the Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock. "person" means any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, government or agency or political subdivision thereof, or other entity. "register," "registered" and "registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement. "Registrable Securities" means the Investor Securities, or the shares of Class B Common Stock for which the Investor Securities are exchanged in accordance with Section 2.13 (collectively, the "Securities"); provided, however, that such Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when and to the extent that (i) such Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) such Securities have become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Act (or any similar provision then in force) or (iii) such Securities have ceased to be outstanding. (b) Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement. Section 2. Registration Rights. ------------------- 2.1. (a) Registration Upon Demand. At any time on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, one or more Holders that in the aggregate beneficially own at least 20% of the Registrable Securities may make a demand that the Company effect the registration of all or part of such Holders' Registrable Securities (a "Demand Registration"). Upon receipt of a valid request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall promptly, and in any event no later than 15 days after such receipt, notify all other Holders of the making of such demand and shall use its reasonable efforts to register under the Act as expeditiously as may be practicable the Registrable Securities which Holders have requested the Company to register in accordance with this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall only be required to effect a registration if the number of Registrable Securities that the Company shall have been requested to register shall, in the aggregate, (i) represent at least 20% of the Initially 2 Issued Number or (ii) represent all of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders. The Holders shall together have the right to two Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1(a), provided, however, that no more than one such Demand Registration may be requested in any 12 month period. (b) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) if a registration statement with respect thereto has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), (ii) if after it has become effective and prior to the date ninety (90) days after the effective date, such registration is materially interfered with by any stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the fault of any of the Holders, or (iii) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on the part of a Holder to perform its obligations under such underwriting agreement. (c) Piggyback Registration. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of another person or entity (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute forms that may be adopted by the Commission)), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders at the address set forth in the share register of the Company as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event less than 7 business days before the anticipated filing date), undertaking to provide each Holder the opportunity to register on the same terms and conditions such amount of Registrable Securities as such Holder may request (a "Piggyback Registration"). Each Holder will have 5 business days after receipt of any such notice to notify the Company as to whether it wishes to participate in a Piggyback Registration (which notice shall not be deemed to be a request for a Demand Registration). If the registration statement is filed on behalf of a person or entity other than the Company, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registrable Securities that the Holders wish to sell included in the registration statement. If the Company or the person or entity for whose account such offering is being made shall determine in its sole discretion not to register or to delay the proposed offering, the Company may, at its election, provide written notice of such determination to the Holders and (i) in the case of a determination not to effect the proposed offering, shall thereupon be relieved of the obligation to register such Registrable Securities in connection therewith and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay a proposed offering, shall thereupon be permitted to delay registering such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in respect of the proposed offering. 3 If the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration by any Holder differ from the type of securities proposed to be registered by the Company and the managing underwriter for such offering advises the Company that due to such differences the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would cause a material adverse effect on the price of the offering (a "Material Adverse Effect"), then (x) the number of such Holders' Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration shall be reduced to an amount which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would eliminate such Material Adverse Effect or (y) if no such reduction would, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, eliminate such Material Adverse Effect, then the Company shall have the right to exclude all such Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration, provided, that no other securities of such type are included and offered for the account of any other Person in such Piggyback Registration. Any partial reduction in number of Registrable Securities of any Holder to be included in the Piggyback Registration pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be effected pro rata based on the ratio which such Holder's requested securities bears to the total number of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by all persons or entities other than the Company who have the contractual right to request that their securities be included in such registration statement and who have requested that their securities be included. If the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration statement are of the same type as the securities being registered by the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would cause a Material Adverse Effect, the Company will be obligated to include in such registration statement, as to each Holder, only a portion of the Registrable Securities such Holder has requested be registered equal to the ratio which such Holder's requested securities bears to the total number of securities requested to be included in such registration statement by all persons or entities (other than any persons or entities initiating such registration request) who have the contractual right to request that their securities be included in such registration statement and who have requested their securities be included. If the Company initiated the registration, then the Company may include all of its securities in such registration statement before any such Holder's requested securities are included. If another securityholder initiated the registration, then the Company may not include any of its securities in such registration statement unless all Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration statement by all Holders are included in such registration statement. If as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.1(c) any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Securities in a registration that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder's request to include Registrable Securities in such registration statement prior to its effectiveness. 2.2. Blackout Periods for Holders. If the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4 2.1(a) hereof (or the use of a registration statement or related prospectus) would be materially detrimental to the Company or its shareholders because such filing would require disclosure of material non-public information or would materially interfere with the Company's financing plans, and therefore the board of directors determines that it is in the Company's best interest to defer the filing of the registration statement, and promptly gives the Holders written notice of such determination in the form of a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company following their request to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of the registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof for a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed 60 days (a "Demand Blackout Period") after the date of such request, provided that the Company's exercise of its rights under this Section 2.2 (i) shall not result in Demand Blackout Periods for more than 180 days in any 365 day period, (ii) shall not result in Demand Blackout Periods that are separated by less than 45 days and (iii) shall only be effective when and for so long as the officers and directors of the Company and other holders, if any, of registration rights with respect to the Company's securities are similarly restricted from buying or selling securities of the Company and/or exercising their registration rights, as applicable. The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of the expiration or earlier termination of any Demand Blackout Period. 2.3. Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Section 2, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as may be practicable: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, use reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective for not less than 120 days, unless all Registrable Securities included therein are earlier sold. (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement. (c) Use its best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities (i) for listing on the Nasdaq National Market or listing on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or (ii) if neither such quotation system or exchange is available for quotation or listing, for listing 5 on a national securities exchange selected by a majority in interest of the Holders of the Registrable Securities being registered. (d) Furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities registering such securities such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus (in the event of an underwritten offering), in conformity with the requirements of applicable law, and such other documents as each such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by it. (e) Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under state blue sky laws in any U.S. jurisdictions in which such registration and qualification is reasonably requested by any Holder; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions. (f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form and substance as agreed to by the Company and the managing underwriter of such offering. (g) Promptly notify the Holders in writing: (i) when the registration statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the registration statement has been filed, and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or related prospectus or any written request by the SEC for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation of any proceedings by any person for that purpose, and promptly use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; and (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any written notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or overt threat of any proceeding for such purpose. (h) Notify the Holders in writing on a timely basis, at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under applicable law, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable 6 number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. Upon receipt of any notice of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in the preceding sentence, each Holder will cease using such prospectus until receipt by the Holders of the copies of such supplemented or amended prospectus. If so requested by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company any copies of such prospectus then in its possession (other than one permanent file copy). If the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective as provided in Section 2.3(a) hereof by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to the date when the Company shall make available to the Holders such supplemented or amended prospectus. (i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder participating in the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as if customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders participating in the registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a "Cold Comfort" letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, addressed to the board of directors of the Company, to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by applicable accounting standards, to the Holders participating in the registration of Registrable Securities. (j) Use reasonable efforts to cause the transfer agent to remove restrictive legends on certificates representing the securities covered by such registration statement, as the Company determines to be appropriate, upon advice of counsel. 7 (k) Prepare and file with the SEC, promptly upon the request of any such Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such Holders, is required under the Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities by such Holders. (l) Make available for inspection by any Holder of such Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Holder or underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information (together with the Records, the "Information") reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement. Any of the Information that the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) such Information has been made generally available to the public, (iii) as necessary to enforce a Holder's rights under this Agreement or (iv) such Holder of Registrable Securities requiring such information agrees to enter into a confidentiality agreement in customary form and subject to customary exceptions. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall be responsible for any breach of the foregoing covenant by any Inspector retained by or on behalf of such Holder. The Holder of Registrable Securities, agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Information deemed confidential and the Inspectors shall not disclose such Information until such action is determined. (m) Provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities included in any registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement. (n) Cooperate with each selling Holder and each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (o) During the period when the prospectus is required to be delivered under the Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to 8 Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). (p) Make generally available to its securityholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder (q) Provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity and which may be the Company) for such Registrable Securities. (r) Use its reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms contemplated hereby. 2.4. Furnish Information. ------------------- (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to include any Registrable Securities of any Holder in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2 that the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, any other securities of the Company held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Any such information shall be provided to the Company within any reasonable time period requested by the Company. (b) Each Holder shall notify the Company, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under applicable law, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the applicable registration statement, as then in effect, in each case only with respect to information provided by such Holder, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Such Holder shall immediately upon the happening of any such event cease using such prospectus. Any other Holders shall cease using such prospectus immediately upon receipt of notice from the Company to that effect. If so requested by the Company, each Holder shall promptly return to the Company any copies of such prospectus in its possession (other than one permanent file copy). The Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to each such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a 9 material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. 2.5. Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the Registrable Securities. The Company also shall be required to pay and bear the reasonable legal fees of not more than one counsel for the Holders in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in connection with any registration. 2.6. Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any underwritten offering of a Holder's Registrable Securities, the Company shall not be required under Section 2.3 to register any of such Registrable Securities in connection with such underwritten offering unless the Company consents to the underwriters selected by the Holders participating in the registration (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Company shall be required to register Registrable Securities only in such quantity as the lead managing underwriter determines, in its good faith discretion, will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. To the extent that the lead managing underwriter will not permit the registration of all of the Registrable Securities sought to be registered, in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Registrable Securities to be included shall be apportioned among the Holders on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Securities proposed to be registered by each); provided, however, that the right of the underwriters to exclude Registrable Securities from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted such that all securities that are not Registrable Securities and all securities that are held by persons who are employees or directors of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. Those Registrable Securities and other securities that are excluded from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter's marketing limitation and all other Registrable Securities not originally requested to be so included shall not be included in such registration and shall be withheld from the market by the Holders thereof for a period, not to exceed 90 days, which the managing underwriter reasonably determines necessary to effect the underwritten public offering. No Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to participate in an underwritten offering unless such Holder enters into, and performs its obligations under, one or more underwriting agreements and any related agreements and documents (which may include an escrow agreement and/or a power of attorney with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Securities), in the form that such Holder shall agree to with the lead managing underwriter of the transaction. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, it may elect, prior to the execution 10 of any underwriting agreement, to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the lead managing underwriter. 2.7. Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 2.8. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Act and the 1934 Act and their respective directors, officers, partners, stockholders, members, employees, agents and representatives and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Act and the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities joint or several) to which they may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon or relate to (collectively, a "Violation") (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (z) any violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by any registration statement; and the Company will pay to each Indemnified Person any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by a Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration or is caused by any failure by the Holder to deliver a prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) as and when required under the Act after such prospectus has been timely furnished by the Company. 11 (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation is caused by (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement contained in, or by any omission or alleged omission from, information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder specifically and expressly for use in any such registration statement or prospectus but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof or (y) any failure by the Holder to deliver a prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) as and when required under the Securities Act after such prospectus has been timely filed by the Company. Such Holder will pay any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.8(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties; provided that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain separate counsel, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party if representation of such Indemnified Person by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate (in the opinion of the Indemnified Person) due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, provided that the indemnifying party in such event shall not be responsible for the fees of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to 12 any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons that may be represented without conflict by one counsel. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 2.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 2.8. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the Indemnified Person shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the Indemnified Person and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution hereunder from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall a Holder's obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. (e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities under a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2. 2.9. Lock-up and Permitted Transfers. At any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Investor shall not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Investor Securities or any interest therein without the written consent of the Company; provided, however, that the Investor without the Company's consent shall be permitted (a) to transfer all or part of the Investor Securities (i) to the Company, as contemplated by Section 2.12 or otherwise; (ii) to any other member of the Liberty Group (a "Permitted Transferee") provided that such member agrees with the Company to be bound hereby with the same effect as if it were named herein in lieu of the Investor; and (iii) in any transaction in which holders of Common Stock generally 13 participate or have the opportunity to participate pro rata, including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation or binding share exchange involving the Company or a tender or exchange offer for shares of the Company's capital stock; and (b) to pledge the Investor Securities to secure bona fide indebtedness, provided that the transferee in the event of foreclosure agrees with the Company to be bound hereby with the same effect as if it were named herein in lieu of the Investor. Without limiting any other remedy that may be available to the Company, failure of the Investor or any Permitted Transferee to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.9 shall result in termination of the Company's obligations under Section 2.1 of this Agreement with respect to the affected Investor Securities. 2.10. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee of Registrable Securities (other than a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except that neither AT&T Corp. nor any of its Affiliates shall be deemed a competitor for this purpose), provided that, in the case of a transfer prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, such transferee is a Permitted Transferee; and provided, further, that (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree with the Company in writing to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent then applicable. No other assignment of the Investor's or any Holder's rights hereunder shall be permitted, and the attempted or purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be void. 2.11. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to: (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Act, at all times; (b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and (c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish such Holder upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Act, and of the 1934 Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in 14 availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration. 2.12. Exchange. (a) The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that no later than the first anniversary of the Closing Date it shall have complied with its covenant set forth in Section 2.13 and issued, registered, qualified under applicable state securities laws, and caused to be listed or quoted on the applicable of the Nasdaq National Market or The New York Stock Exchange or such other national securities exchange or national securities association as is the then principal market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, an aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Common Stock then listed or quoted on such market ("Equivalent Float"). The date as of which the Equivalent Float is first achieved is referred to as the "Trigger Date" . The Company shall notify the Investor of the Trigger Date promptly and in any event within 2 business days after its occurrence. (b) The Investor Securities shall be exchanged for shares of Class B Common Stock at the Exchange Rate (as defined below) effective immediately prior to the close of business on the trading day (the "Automatic Exchange Date") immediately following the expiration of the period of 60 consecutive trading days commencing with the Trigger Date, provided that such exchange shall not be effected unless the Trigger Date occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing. At any time following the first anniversary of the Closing, but subject to the Trigger Date having occurred and not earlier than the 30th trading day following the Trigger Date, the Investor may deliver a written notice to the Company requesting it to exchange its Investor Securities for shares of Class B Common Stock at the Exchange Rate, in which event such exchange shall be effected immediately prior to the close of business on the trading day (the "Elective Exchange Date", and together with the Automatic Exchange Date if the Trigger Date occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, the "Exchange Date") immediately following the expiration of the period of 30 consecutive trading days commencing with the trading day on which such notice from the Investor is given to the Company. (c) On the Exchange Date or as soon as possible thereafter, the Investor shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the Investor Securities, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at the Company's address for notices as specified in Section 3.5. The Investor Securities shall be deemed to have been exchanged immediately prior to the close of business on the Exchange Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Class B Common Stock issuable upon such exchange shall be treated for all purposes as the recordholder or holders of such Class B Common Stock at such time. 15 (d) As promptly as practicable on or after the Exchange Date, the Company shall issue and deliver at such office a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such exchange based on the Exchange Rate, as defined below, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fraction of a share of Class B Common Stock (based on the same fraction of the price determined pursuant to clause (y) of the definition of Exchange Rate below), to the person or persons entitled to receive the same. The "Exchange Rate" shall be the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be delivered in exchange for each share of Common Stock surrendered by the Investor. The Exchange Rate shall be equal to the number obtained by dividing (x) the Average Market Price per share of Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Exchange Date by (y) the Average Market Price per share of Class B Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Exchange Date. "Average Market Price" of a share of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, means the average (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000) of the volume weighted averages (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000) of the trading prices of the applicable security on the principal market on which shares of the applicable security are then listed or quoted (whether the Nasdaq National Market, The New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange or association) as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other source as the Investor and the Company shall agree) for the relevant 30 trading day period. (e) The Company shall not declare a dividend or make a distribution on, or reclassify, subdivide or combine, the Class B Common Stock or the Common Stock or take any other action with respect to the Class B Common Stock or the Common Stock of the kind that would typically require an adjustment to the conversion price or conversion rate of a convertible security, if the "ex" date, record date, payment date or effective date for such event would occur during the period during which the Exchange Rate is established, and will not effect repurchases of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock in the market, or announce its intention to effect repurchases of any such securities, during such period. The Investor will not effect market purchases of the Common Stock or Class B Common Stock during the period the Exchange Rate is established, provided, in the case of the period related to the Automatic Exchange Date, that it has been notified of the occurrence of the Trigger Date. 2.13. Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company and its Board of Directors shall: 16 (a) Take all action necessary in accordance with applicable law, the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Company's By-laws to obtain the requisite approval of the Company's stockholders for the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter Amendment"), in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, which shall be authorized by the Board of Directors to, among other things, establish the terms of the Class B Common Stock; and (b) File the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby further amended by deleting Sections 1(h), 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), 2(e)(6) and 2(f) of Article Fourth and replacing them with the following: "1.

The holders of Class B Stock shall entitled to one-tenth (1/10) of a vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation.

(c) (1) Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, and subject to any other provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time, holders of Class A Stock, holders of Class B Stock and holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor; provided, however, that no cash, property or share dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on the outstanding shares of any of the Class A Stock, the Class B Stock or the Common Stock unless an identical per share dividend or distribution is simultaneously declared and paid on the outstanding shares of the other classes of common stock; provided, further, however, that a dividend of shares may be declared and paid in Class A Stock to holders of Class A Stock, in Class B Stock to holders of Class B Stock and in -2- Common Stock to holders of Common Stock if the number of shares paid per share to holders of Class A Stock, to holders of Class B Stock and to holders of Common Stock shall be the same. If the Corporation shall in any manner subdivide, combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Class A Stock, Class B Stock or Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other classes of common stock shall be subdivided, combined or reclassified proportionately in the same manner and on the same basis as the outstanding shares of Class A Stock, Class B Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, have been subdivided, combined or reclassified. (2) Consideration in Merger and Similar Transactions. The Corporation shall not be a party to a merger, consolidation, binding share exchange, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving or resulting entity) (an "Extraordinary Transaction"), unless the per share consideration, if any, that the holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock receive in connection with such Extraordinary Transaction or are entitled to elect to receive in such Extraordinary Transaction is the same as the per share consideration that the holders of the other of such classes of common stock are entitled to receive or elect to receive in connection with the Extraordinary Transaction. (d) Optional Conversion. ------------------- (1) The shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Stock.

"(e) Mandatory Conversion. -------------------- (6) This Section 2(e) may not be amended without the affirmative vote of holders of the majority of the shares of the Class A Stock, the affirmative vote of holders of the majority of the shares of the Class B Stock and the affirmative vote of holders of the majority of the shares of the Common Stock, each voting separately as a class." -3- "(f) Conversion Procedures. --------------------- (1) Each conversion of shares pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof will be effected by the surrender of the certificate or certificates, duly endorsed, representing the shares to be converted at the principal office of the transfer agent of the Class A Stock, in the case of conversion pursuant to Section 2(d)(2), or of the Class B Stock, in the case of conversion pursuant to Section 2(d)(3), at any time during normal business hours, together with a written notice by the holder stating the number of shares that such holder desires to convert and the names or name in which he wishes the certificate or certificates for the Common Stock to be issued. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which such certificate or certificates have been surrendered, and at such time, the rights of any such holder with respect to the converted shares of such holder will cease and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for shares are to be issued upon such conversion will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such shares represented thereby. Promptly after such surrender, the Corporation will issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering holder's instructions the certificate or certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and a certificate representing any Class A Stock, in the case of conversion pursuant to Section 2(d)(2) which was represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion, but which was not converted. (2) The issuance of certificates upon conversion of shares pursuant to Section 2(d) hereto will be made without charge to the holder or holders of such shares for any issuance tax (except stock transfer tax) in respect thereof or other costs incurred by the Corporation in connection therewith.

Gentlemen: This letter agreement (this "Agreement") will confirm our understandings relating to the proposed purchase (the "Purchase") from IDT Corporation ("I Corp.") of 14,900,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Stock") of Net2Phone, Inc. (the "Company") and certain related matters as set forth herein. 1. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the 14,900,000 shares of Class A Stock will be $75 per share in cash, or an aggregate of $1,117,500,000, payable at the Closing. 2. Structure. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, AT&T Corporation ("A Corp.") shall effect the Purchase through a newly formed business entity ("Holdco"). A Corp. agrees, that it will retain, either directly or indirectly through its controlled affiliates and Liberty Media Group, a majority of the ownership and voting interests in Holdco, for a period of three years from the Closing. In the event that the stockholders of the Company do not approve the Amendments (as defined below), A Corp. shall have the right to sell or transfer all or any portion of the ownership interests in Holdco at any time; provided that if A Corp. ceases to own a majority of the ownership and voting interests in Holdco, A Corp. shall cause Holdco to grant a proxy until August 1, 2003 to I Corp. to vote any Common Shares owned by Holdco or acquired by Holdco prior to August 1, 2003. Any sale or transfer by A Corp. of its interest in Holdco shall not relieve A Corp. of its obligations to cause the Purchase to occur and to cause Holdco to abide by the terms of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions described herein. Until August 1, 2003, and provided that I Corp. owns not less than one million Common Shares (as IDT Corporation March 28, 2000 Page 2 defined in Article Fourth of the Company's certificate of incorporation ("Common Shares")), Holdco shall not without I Corp.'s consent sell or transfer all or any portion of its shares of Class A Stock or Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Agreement. 3. Timing. The Closing shall occur upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described herein, provided that in no event shall the Closing occur prior to August 1, 2000. The Closing will be conditioned upon (1) the Board of Directors of the Company, no later than March 31, 2000, adopting the Amendments (as defined below), declaring the advisability of the Amendments and calling a special meeting of the Company's stockholders for the consideration of the Amendments, (2) the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, (3) the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, (4) the absence of an injunction making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, (5) the absence of any pending litigation or regulatory proceeding in either case initiated by a governmental authority against the Company or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (6) the absence of any material adverse change in the business or operations of the Company resulting from the actions or inactions of the management of the Company, excluding actions or decisions not to act taken in good faith and with the appropriate degree of care, and excluding changes in general economic conditions, general changes in the industry in which the Company is engaged and general changes in technology, (7) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties contained herein, (8) the performance of all agreements to be performed hereunder prior to the Closing, (9) the accuracy in all material respects of the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as of their respective dates, and (10) the absence of any infringement by the Company of any intellectual property rights of any third party that has or reasonably could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company. 4. Sale of Additional Shares by the Company. It shall also be a condition of A Corp's obligation to consummate the Purchase that the Company shall have issued to Holdco four million shares of Class A Stock (the "Primary Issuance") for a price of $75 per share (it being understood that the Primary Issuance shall not be consummated unless the Purchase is consummated immediately thereafter). The Board of Directors of the Company, no later than March 31, 2000, shall duly adopt a resolution setting forth amendments (the "Amendments") to the Company's certificate of incorporation (i) increasing the number of authorized shares of Class A Stock by four million and (ii) expanding the Board of Directors of the Company by three seats, and resolving to nominate designees named by A Corp. to such additional three seats, and shall by such date also declare the advisability of the Amendments and call a special meeting of its stockholders for the consideration of the Amendments. The Board of Directors of the Company, subject to its fiduciary obligations, shall take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to cause the adoption of the Amendments, including causing an information or proxy statement containing the recommendation of the Board of Directors in favor of the Amendments to be distributed to stockholders as promptly as practicable. The only additional corporate action required for the Primary Issuance is the approval of the Amendments by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding Common Shares and the filing of the Amendments. By IDT Corporation March 28, 2000 Page 3 resolution, the Board of Directors of the Company will confirm that the restrictions contained in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall not apply to any business combination between the Company and A Corp. or Holdco. A result of the Primary Issuance will be to cause Holdco to become a Holder within the meaning of Article Fourth, Section 3(e)(2) of the Company's certificate of incorporation ("Holder"), with the effect that the shares of Class A Stock to be sold to Holdco by I Corp. will not be converted by their terms into shares of Common Stock upon the consummation of the Purchase. In addition, it is a condition of A Corp.'s obligation to consummate the Purchase that the Board of Directors of the Company, no later than March 31, 2000, shall have granted to Holdco demand and "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the shares of capital stock of the Company hereafter acquired by it hereunder, substantially as provided in the form of the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A which registration rights will be exercisable upon the lapse of the restriction on Holdco's right to dispose of shares contained in Section 2. 5. Efforts by I Corp in Support of the Primary Issuance and the Amendments. I Corp. agrees that it will vote all of the shares of capital stock of the Company held by it in favor of the Amendments and will use its best efforts to cause the Primary Issuance to be consummated in the manner contemplated herein. I Corp. may terminate this Agreement within five business days of such date if, by March 31, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company has not adopted a resolution amending Section 6(g) of the Company's Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), and any other sections of the Plan necessary to ensure that no rights of I Corp. employees under the Plan will be terminated or affected in any way as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. A Corp. may terminate this Agreement within 5 business days of such date if I Corp. breaches its obligations contained in the first sentence of this paragraph or if the Board of Directors of the Company fails to take the actions contemplated herein by March 31, 2000 or thereafter withdraws or modifies in a manner adverse to A Corp. its recommendation in favor of the Amendments. 6. Failure to Obtain Shareholder Approval of Amendments. If the approval of the shareholders of the Company for the Amendments is not obtained by August 1, 2000, but upon the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to Closing on or prior to September 30, 2000, Holdco shall promptly loan to I Corp. $1,117,500,000, which loan (the "Loan") shall accrue interest at a per annum rate of 7%, compounded quarterly; it being agreed that if such conditions have not been satisfied or waived on or prior to September 30, 2000, then this Agreement shall terminate. The Loan shall initially be for a term of five years, but shall be renewed automatically for up to an aggregate of three one year periods unless not less than six months prior to the then scheduled maturity of the Loan Holdco or I Corp. provides notice that it has elected not to extend the maturity of the Loan. Thereafter, at such time as Holdco becomes a Holder, I Corp. shall promptly deliver to Holdco 14,900,000 shares of Class A Stock, whereupon the Loan (including interest accrued thereon) will be discharged. Upon the maturity of the Loan, I Corp. will promptly deliver to Holdco 14,900,000 shares of Class A Stock (which upon delivery to Holdco will become an equal number of shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock")), whereupon the Loan will be discharged. From the date hereof and until the earlier of the Closing or this Agreement terminates, or, if the Loan (including any interest IDT Corporation March 28, 2000 Page 4 accrued thereon) is made, until the Loan is no longer outstanding, I Corp. will not dispose, encumber or enter into any agreement to dispose or encumber the 14,900,000 shares of Class A Stock or otherwise take any action that would make it unable to fulfill its obligation to deliver such shares upon the maturity of the Loan. The agreement governing the Loan shall provide that Holdco's sole recourse for non-payment of the Loan (including any interest thereon) will be the 14,900,000 shares of Class A Stock or Common Stock, as applicable. 7. Right of First Refusal. The shares of Class A Stock currently owned by I Corp. which are not subject to the Purchase (the "Remaining Shares") shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Holdco from the date hereof until August 1, 2003 (the "Right of First Refusal Period"). I Corp. shall not transfer any of the Remaining Shares during the Right of First Refusal Period unless it shall have provided Holdco with notice in writing stating (1) that it has received a firm offer to purchase such shares, (2) the fair market value of the consideration proposed to be paid to I Corp. in such transfer (or, in the case of a registered public offering, the fact that the consideration will be the fair market value of the shares at the time the registration statement becomes effective), as well as the other terms thereof and (3) in the case of a proposed buyer who is also a Holder, the identity of the proposed buyer. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Remaining Shares proposed to be sold by I Corp. to a third party purchaser equals or exceeds $100,000,000, Holdco shall have 21 days from the date of such written notice (the "Notice Period") to advise I Corp. whether it wishes to exercise the Right of First Refusal. If Holdco advises I Corp. in writing that it wishes to exercise the Right of First Refusal, thereupon I Corp. and Holdco will be deemed to have agreed to the sale to Holdco of such shares upon financial terms and conditions no less favorable to I Corp. than those set forth in the notice, the closing thereon to occur as promptly as practicable following the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals; provided, however, that if all necessary regulatory approvals are not obtained within 90 days from the date of the notice, the provisions in this Section 7 shall automatically terminate. If Holdco notifies I Corp. in writing that it does not wish to purchase such shares, or such 21 day period elapses without any written notification by Holdco, then I Corp. shall be free to dispose of such shares upon terms and conditions no more favorable to a third party than those set forth in the notice for a period of 60 days; provided, however, that if I Corp. identified a Holder as the proposed buyer in its notice to Holdco, such shares shall only be sold to such Holder. If the aggregate purchase price of the Remaining Shares proposed to be sold by I Corp. to a third party purchaser is less than $100,000,000, the Notice Period (as defined above) shall be 7 days from the date of written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that stockholder approval of the Amendments has been obtained and the Closing has occurred, individual sales of not more than 100,000 shares of Class A Stock by I Corp., up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Stock during the Right of First Refusal Period, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 7. 8. Conversion of Remaining Shares. I Corp. shall convert such number of the Remaining Shares as requested by Holdco into shares of Common Stock promptly upon the payment in cash to I Corp. of an amount equal to 10% of the average daily closing price per share of Common Stock for the 20-trading day period ending on the day prior to the date of such notice of conversion in IDT Corporation March 28, 2000 Page 5 respect of each of the Remaining Shares requested to be converted, if so requested by Holdco, during the period ending August 1, 2003. 9. Voting Agreement. Until August 1, 2003 or such earlier time as I Corp. ceases to own two million or more Common Shares or until A Corp. ceases to own a majority of the ownership and voting interests in Holdco, Holdco and I Corp. will vote all of the Common Shares beneficially owned by each of them in favor of mutually acceptable nominees to the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event that Holdco and I Corp. are unable to agree on acceptable nominees, Holdco and I Corp. will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum at the shareholders meeting but will abstain from voting on such nominees as to which Holdco and I Corp. are unable to agree. 10. Company Headquarters. The parties agree that they will support the move to and continued presence for no less than 10 years of the headquarters of the Company at 520 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey, unless otherwise mutually agreed. 11. Joint Venture and Licensing.

Any contract or transaction between A Corp. and the Company, or between I Corp. and the Company involving the potential payment to or from the Company of more than $500,000, shall be subject to the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company; provided that the requirement for such approval shall cease to apply at such time as A Corp. or I Corp., as the case may be, becomes the beneficial owner of more than 85% or less than 15% of the voting power of the Company; and provided further that the requirement of disinterested director approval shall not be required with respect to the granting of a license by the Company to A Corp. or I Corp. which does not contain terms, conditions and pricing that are more favorable to the licensee than those contained in a license granted to any other person. 11(a). A Corp/I Corp. Arrangements. A Corp. and I Corp. agree that they will enter into the following series of commercial and outsourcing arrangements as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, with the intent to use reasonable best efforts to have these agreements in place by Closing. The agreements referred to in this Section 11 each shall be for a term of three years, unless the parties agree otherwise. IDT Corporation March 28, 2000 Page 6 o A Corp. and I Corp. will enter into an agreement, which will provide for each party to be classified by the other party as a "Preferred Supplier" where mutually beneficial and not inconsistent with other commitments of the parties existing on the date of this Agreement, with respect to all services and products offered by the parties. o I Corp. and A Corp. will enter into an agreement pursuant to which A Corp will supply 66% of the domestic service needs, including long distance, data, IP, and local service, which I Corp. purchases from third parties; provided that such agreement shall not require the substitution of A Corp. for any supplier to I Corp. under an agreement existing on the date of this Agreement, unless such existing commitment can be assigned or transferred to A Corp. without causing an adverse effect to I Corp.'s business (including relations with customers and suppliers), financial position or results of operations. A Corp. will manage such existing supply commitments with the intent of providing integrated support to I Corp., and transitioning to A Corp the services covered by such existing supply commitments as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so in a manner that benefits I Corp. and does not have any adverse effect on I Corp's. business, financial condition or results of operations. A Corp shall provide the domestic services it provides on a most favored customer basis, taking into account the types and volumes of services furnished. I Corp.'s commitment to enter into this agreement will be contingent upon I Corp. experiencing cost savings in each category of services provided (as defined below) as compared with the cost to I Corp. of obtaining comparable services of comparable quality from third parties. For the purpose of calculating the cost savings, the parties will measure savings within three (3) separate buckets or categories: (1) domestic voice services; (2) data and IP services; and (3) fiber, colocation, and network management services. The pricing terms for such services shall be adjusted as commercially required to maintain competitiveness to ensure that the principles set forth above in this paragraph continue to be observed throughout the term of the agreement. o The parties intend to purchase international services from one another, with the understanding that the substantive commitments concerning such services are as set forth in Section 11(b). o I Corp. will obtain a domestic fiber ring from A Corp. (a Dark Fiber, Lit Fiber or OC-X service, as agreed upon by the parties). The price shall be the lowest rate that A. Corp has offered for a comparable arrangement; provided, however, that I Corp. will be under no obligation to acquire such ring unless A Corp. provides the fiber ring at a price equal to or lower than that at which I Corp. could obtain the same capabilities from another source. A Corp. agrees to engineer the ring based on I Corp.'s forecast of demand for use of the capacity on the ring and agrees to price the capacity it provides based on the capacity required to meet such IDT Corporation March 28, 2000 Page 7 forecasts of demand, whether or not it engineers the network for greater capacity. The parties will agree on a plan to update such forecasts from time to time as necessary to reflect I Corp.'s forecasted needs. I Corp. agrees that it will terminate the traffic which it services on this ring, provided that I Corp. shall be permitted first to terminate traffic on capacity which I Corp. has or has contractually committed to on the date of this agreement or under agreements to terminate traffic that are in effect on the date of this Agreement. o I Corp. and A Corp. will enter into an Outsourcing Agreement pursuant to which I Corp. will outsource network management to A Corp. at mutually agreed upon prices and terms. In addition, the parties intend to enter into an agreement covering each party's use of the other party's web hosting facilities. o A Corp. will initially sublease from I Corp. 40,000 square feet (with options to eventually rent an additional 160,000 square feet, contingent on the availability of space) at I Corp.'s facility at 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey. The initial base rent shall be the lower of (1) between $25 to $29 per square foot (the rate excludes utility and construction costs), or (2) market rates for comparable space. Rent shall be CPI adjusted on an annual basis, consistent with I Corp.'s underlying lease. A Corp. agrees to locate a network operation center and/or a switch or switches at the subleased premises. o A Corp. and I Corp. will support good faith negotiations to reach an agreement to colocate at each other's facilities. 11(b).

The parties agree to provide such services at Concert and I Corp's respective preferred leading edge cost structures with consideration to quality, volumes, availability of capacity and other key market and economic conditions. Concert and I Corp. will provide each other with six (6) month traffic projections identifying each party's price and volume requirements. o Concert and I Corp. will support good faith negotiations to work together to partner in building or jointly purchasing international fiber networks or in swapping capacity on each other's networks. o Concert and I Corp. will support good faith negotiations to reach an agreement to colocate at each other's facilities and to use each other's switching facilities to route traffic in mutually beneficial ways, including, but not limited to, I Corp.'s utilization of Concert's European and Asian switches for I Corp's opportunistic traffic. 12. Tag-along Provisions. If, during the 18 month period after the date hereof, Holdco buys shares of Class A Stock from other current Holders, Holdco will so notify I Corp. in writing, such notice to contain information regarding number of shares, price and other material terms of the transaction and I Corp. then will have the option, exercisable within 30 days of its having received such written notice of such purchase, of causing Holdco to purchase up to five million shares of Class A Stock (or if A Corp. has exercised its conversion rights under paragraph 8, then Common Stock) from it on the same terms and conditions as Holdco purchased shares from such other holder of Class A Stock; provided, that the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to arrangements entered into by Holdco or A Corp. solely in connection with obtaining shareholder approval of the Amendments. 13. Definitive Documentation.

WHEREAS, the Company will issue and sell to the Investors o shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Stock"), pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, dated as of o, 2000, between the Company and the Investor (the "Subscription Agreement"); WHEREAS, I Corp., a Delaware corporation ("I Corp.") has agreed to sell to the Investor 14,900,000 shares of Class A Stock, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of o, 2000, between I Corp. and the Investor (the "Purchase Agreement"); WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to grant the registration rights set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1.

(e) The term "Registrable Securities" means the shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the shares of Class A Stock purchased by the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Securities") as the same may exist, from time to time; provided, however, that such Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when and to the extent that (i) such Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) such Securities have become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Act (or any similar provision then in force) or another provision of Rule 144 of the Act pursuant to which all of such Securities are immediately eligible for resale or (iii) such Securities have ceased to be outstanding. Section 2. Registration Rights. 2.1. (a) Registration Upon Demand. (i) For a period of [three years] after August 1, 2003, one or more Holders that in the aggregate beneficially own at least 50% of the Registrable Securities may make a demand that the Company effect the registration of all or part of such Holders' Registrable Securities (a "Demand Registration"). Upon receipt of a valid request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall promptly, and in any event no later than 15 days after such receipt, notify all other Holders of the making of such demand and shall use its best efforts to register under the Act as expeditiously as may be practicable the Registrable Securities that Holders have requested the Company to register in accordance with this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect any registration if the Registrable Securities that the Company shall have been requested to register shall, in the aggregate, have a current market value of less than $5,000,000. The Holders shall have the right to one Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i). Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a)(ii), if any registration demand is made by Holders beneficially owning 50% or more of the Registrable Securities, and no Demand Registration has been made prior to such time, then such registration demand shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a Demand Registration, regardless of the registration form used (including Form S-3). (ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof, and in addition to the rights granted under Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof, at any time after the Company becomes eligible to register its securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form), one or more holders that in the aggregate beneficially own at least 20% of the Registrable Securities may make a demand 2 that the Company effect the registration of all or part of such Holders' Registrable Securities (an "S-3 Demand Registration"). Upon receipt of a valid request for an S-3 Demand Registration, the Company shall promptly, and in any event no later than 15 days after such receipt, notify all other Holders of the making of such demand and shall use its best efforts to register under the Act as expeditiously as may be practicable the Registrable Securities which Holders have requested the Company to register in accordance with this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect any registration if the Registrable Securities that the Company shall have been requested to register shall, in the aggregate, have a current market value of less than $1,000,000. The Holders shall have the right to two S-3 Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(ii). (b) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) if a registration statement with respect thereto has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), (ii) if after it has become effective, such registration is materially interfered with by any stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to any of the Holders and has not thereafter become effective, or (iii) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on the part of a Holder. 2.2. "Piggy-Back" Registration. (a) If the Company proposes to register any securities under the Act in connection with any offering of its securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or their successors, or any other form for a similar limited purpose, or any registration statement covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another corporation), whether or not for its own account, the Company shall furnish promptly, and in any event not less than 15 days in advance, written notice to the Holders of its intention to effect such registration and the intended method of distribution in connection therewith. Upon the written request of a Holder made to the Company within 15 days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, the Company shall include in such registration the requested number of the Holder's Registrable Securities (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements 3 as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its Common Stock and any other securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. (b) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall create any liability on the part of the Company or any other person to the Holders if the Company, for any reason, decides not to file a registration statement proposed to be filed pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or to withdraw such registration statement subsequent to its filing (except for the Company's obligation to pay the expenses in connection therewith as provided in Section 2.6), regardless of any action whatsoever that a Holder may have taken, whether as a result of the issuance by the Company of any notice under Section 2.2(a) or otherwise. 2.3. Blackout Periods for Holders. If the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that the registration and distribution of Registrable Securities (or the use of a registration statement or related prospectus) would be materially detrimental to the Company or its shareholders and therefore the board of directors determines that it is in the Company's best interest to defer the filing, and promptly gives the Holders written notice of such determination in the form of a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company following their request to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of the registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof for a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed 90 days (a "Demand Blackout Period") after the date of such request. The Company shall promptly notify each holder of the expiration or earlier termination of any Demand Blackout Period. 2.4. Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Section 2, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as may be practicable: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, use reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective for ninety (90) days. (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement. 4 (c) Furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities registering such securities such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus (in the event of an underwritten offering), in conformity with the requirements of applicable law, and such other documents as each such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by it. (d) Use best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under state blue sky laws in any U.S. jurisdictions in which such registration and qualification is reasonably requested by any Holder; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions. (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form and substance as agreed to by the Company and the managing underwriter of such offering. (f) Promptly notify the Holders in writing: (i) when the registration statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the registration statement has been filed, and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or related prospectus or any written request by the SEC for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation of any proceedings by any person for that purpose, and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; and (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any written notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or overt threat of any proceeding for such purpose. (g) Notify the Holders in writing on a timely basis, at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under 5 applicable law, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. (h) Furnish, at the request of any Holder participating in the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as if customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders participating in the registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a "Cold Comfort" letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by applicable accounting standards, to the Holders participating in the registration of Registrable Securities. (i) Use best efforts to cause the transfer agent to remove restrictive legends on certificates representing the securities covered by such registration statement, as the Company determines to be appropriate, upon advice of counsel. (j) Use best efforts to list such Registrable Securities on any national securities exchange on which any shares of the Common Stock are listed. (k) Prepare and file with the SEC, promptly upon the request of any such Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such Holders, is required under the Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities by such Holders. 6 (l) Make available for inspection by any Holder of such Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information (together with the Records, the "Information") reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement. Any of the Information that the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) such Information has been made generally available to the public or (iii) as necessary to enforce a Holder's rights under this Agreement. The Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Information deemed confidential and the Inspectors shall not disclose such Information until such action is determined. (m) Provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity and which may be the Company) for such Registrable Securities. (n) Use its best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms contemplated hereby. 2.5. Furnish Information. (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to include any Registrable Securities of any Holder in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2 that the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, any other securities of the Company held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Any such information shall be provided to the Company within any reasonable time period requested by the Company. (b) Each Holder shall notify the Company, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under applicable law, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the applicable registration statement, as then in effect, in 7 each case only with respect to information provided by such Holder, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Such Holder shall immediately upon the happening of any such event cease using such prospectus. Any other Holders shall cease using such prospectus immediately upon receipt of notice from the Company to that effect. If so requested by the Company, each Holder shall promptly return to the Company any copies of any prospectus in its possession (other than one permanent file copy) that contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. 2.6. Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the Registrable Securities. The Company also shall be required to pay and bear the legal fees of one counsel for the Holders in an amount not to exceed $25,000 in connection with any registration. 2.7. Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any underwritten offering of a Holder's Registrable Securities, the Company shall not be required under Section 2.4 to register any of such Registrable Securities in connection with such underwritten offering unless the Holder accepts the underwriters selected by the Company and then only in such quantity as the lead managing underwriter determines, in its good faith discretion, will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. To the extent that the lead managing underwriter will not permit the registration of all of the Registrable Securities sought to be registered, in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, the Registrable Securities to be included shall be apportioned among the Holders on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Securities proposed to be registered by each), first among the Holders of Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to Section 2.1, and thereafter among the Holders of Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to Section 2.2; provided, however, that the right of the underwriters to exclude Registrable Securities from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted such that all shares that are not Registrable Securities and all shares that are held by persons who are employees or directors of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders' Registrable Securities shall in no event be reduced to less than one-third of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be registered in connection with a Piggyback Registration. Those Registrable Securities and other securities that are 8 excluded from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter's marketing limitation and all other Registrable Securities not originally requested to be so included shall not be included in such registration and shall be withheld from the market by the Holders thereof for a period, not to exceed 90 days, which the managing underwriter reasonably determines necessary to effect the underwritten public offering. No Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to participate in an underwritten offering unless such Holder enters into, and performs its obligations under, one or more underwriting agreements and any related agreements and documents (including an escrow agreement and/or a power of attorney with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Securities), in the form that such Holder shall agree to with the lead managing underwriter of the transaction. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, it may elect, prior to the execution of any underwriting agreement, to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the lead managing underwriter. Any Registrable Securities so withdrawn from an underwriting by such Holder shall be withdrawn from such registration and shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto. 2.8. Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 2.9. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, legal counsel and affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities joint or several) to which they may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (collectively, a "Violation") (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by any registration statement; and the Company will pay to each Indemnified 9 Person any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by a Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration or is caused by any failure by the Holder to deliver a prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) as and when required under the Act after such prospectus has been timely furnished by the Company. (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation is caused by (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement contained in, or by any omission or alleged omission from, information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder specifically and expressly for use in any such registration statement or prospectus but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof or (y) any failure by the Holder to deliver a prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) as and when required under the Securities Act after such prospectus has been timely filed by the Company. Such Holder will pay any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. 10 (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action),such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties; provided that an Indemnified Person (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such Indemnified Person by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate (in the opinion of the Indemnified Person) due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 2.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 2.9; provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the Indemnified Person shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the Indemnified Person and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the Section 11(f) of 11 the Act) shall be entitled to contribution hereunder from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities under a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2. 2.10. Assignment of Registration Rights. Subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, the rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a permitted transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities which (a) is a subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner, retired partner, affiliate, beneficial owner, member or retired member of a Holder, or (b) is a Holder's family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder; provided, however, (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement. 2.11. Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights.

Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to: (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public; (b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the 12 reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Act, and of the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

(the "Company"), and by a committee of independent directors of the Company to whom authority was duly delegated by the Board, in connection with and in consideration for the proposed purchase (the "Purchase") by AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") and its designees, through a newly formed business entity ("Holdco"), from IDT Corporation ("IDT") of 14,900,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Stock"), of the Company and certain related transactions, as set forth in the Letter Agreement, dated March 28, 2000, between AT&T and IDT (the "Letter Agreement"). 1. Board Approval of the Amendment. The Board has duly adopted a resolution setting forth amendments (the "Amendments") to the Company's certificate of incorporation (i) increasing the number of authorized shares of Class A Stock by four million and (ii) notwithstanding Section 4 of the Letter Agreement, expanding the Board by two seats, and resolving to nominate designees named by AT&T to such additional two seats. Promptly after the closing of the Purchase, IDT shall cause one of its designated Board members to resign, and AT&T shall nominate the replacement designee. AT&T and IDT agree to use their reasonable best efforts to assure that at least five members of the Board will be members not employed by, providing material services for compensation to or otherwise affiliated with AT&T, IDT or any member of Holdco or any of their affiliates (the "disinterested directors"); provided that the requirement for such reasonable efforts by AT&T and IDT shall cease to apply at such time as Holdco or IDT, as the case may be, becomes the beneficial owner of more than 85% or less than 15% of the voting power of the Company. 2. Solicitation of Shareholder Approval. The Board has declared the advisability of the Amendments and called a special meeting of the Company's stockholders for the consideration of the Amendments. The Board, subject to its fiduciary obligations, shall promptly take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to cause the adoption of the Amendments, including causing an information or proxy statement containing the recommendation of the Board of Directors in favor of the Amendments to be distributed to stockholders as promptly as practicable. The only additional corporate action required for the Primary Issuance is the approval of the Amendments by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding Common Shares (as defined in Article Fourth of the Company's certificate of incorporation) and the filing of the Amendments with the Secretary of State of Delaware. 3. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. By resolution, the Board has confirmed that the restrictions contained in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall not apply to any business combination between the Company and AT&T or Holdco. 4. Primary Issuance. Upon adoption of the Amendments, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions set forth in clauses (2) through (10) of Section 3 of the Letter Agreement, and subject to the parties to the Letter Agreement being ready, willing and able to consummate the Purchase, the Company shall promptly issue and sell to Holdco, and Holdco will purchase, four million shares of Class A Stock (the "Primary Issuance") for a price of $75 per share. A result of the Primary Issuance will be to cause Holdco to become a Holder within the meaning of Article Fourth, Section 3(e)(2) of the Company's certificate of incorporation, with the effect that the shares of Class A Stock to be sold to Holdco by IDT under the Letter Agreement will not be converted by their terms into shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company upon the consummation of the Purchase. 5. "Piggyback" Registration Rights. The Board has granted to Holdco demand and "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the shares of capital stock of the Company hereafter acquired by it from IDT under the Letter Agreement, substantially as provided in the form of the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. 6. Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The Board has adopted a resolution amending Section 6(g) of the Company's Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), and any other sections of the Plan necessary to ensure that no rights of IDT employees under the Plan will be terminated or affected in any way as a result of the transactions contemplated in the Letter Agreement. 7. License and Approval of Transactions by Disinterested Directors. (a) The Company will grant (i) to AT&T, a license for all of the Company's present and future technology for use in the present and future businesses of AT&T and its affiliates and (ii) to IDT, a license for all of the Company's present and future technology for use in the present and future businesses of IDT and its affiliates. The Company also agrees that should the terms, conditions and pricing of a license be given prior to, on or after the date of the Letter Agreement by the Company to any other person (including, in the case of AT&T, IDT, and in the case of IDT, AT&T) which are more favorable to the licensee than those given to AT&T or IDT, as the case may be, which license has been approved or ratified by a majority of the disinterested directors, such terms, conditions and pricing shall be applicable to AT&T's license or IDT's license, as the case may be, at such party's option. The Company agrees that licenses granted by it shall in all cases be subject to approval or ratification by a majority of the disinterested directors. (b) Any contract or transaction, including a license, between AT&T or any other participant in Holdco or any of their affiliates and the Company, or between IDT or any of its affiliates and the Company, involving the potential payment to or from the Company of more than $500,000, or any business combination between the Company, on the one hand, and IDT, AT&T, any participant in Holdco or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall be subject to the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company; provided that the requirement for such approval shall cease to apply at such time as Holdco or IDT, as the case may be, becomes the beneficial owner of more than 85% or less than 15% of the voting power of the Company; and provided further that the requirement of disinterested director approval shall not be required with respect to the granting of a license by the Company to AT&T or IDT which does not contain terms, conditions and pricing that are more favorable to the licensee than those contained in a license granted to any other person, which license has been approved or ratified by a majority of disinterested directors. (c) This Section 7 supersedes Section 11 of the Letter Agreement, other than the first sentence of Section 11 of the Letter Agreement which remains in full force and effect. 8.
