FOR CLASS B COMMON STOCK

This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of                             , by and between IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                              (the “Employee”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Employee options to acquire an aggregate of                      shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the “Stock”), on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms are defined herein.

2. Grant of Options. The Employee is hereby granted non-qualified stock options (the “Options”) to purchase an aggregate of                      shares of Stock, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

3. Term. The term of the Options (the “Option Term”) shall be for ten (10) years commencing on                              and terminating on                             .

4. Option Price. The initial exercise price per share of the Options shall be $                    , subject to adjustment as provided herein.

5. Conditions to Exercisability. The Options shall vest and become exercisable as follows:                              [vesting dates], if the Employee continues to be employed by or acts as a Consultant to or a Director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries on such date or dates.

6. Method of Exercise. An Option may be exercised, as to any or all full shares of the Stock as to which the Option has become exercisable, by written notice delivered in person or by mail to the Company’s transfer agent or other administrator designated by the Company, specifying the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised.

7. Medium and Time of Payment. The Option Price shall be paid in full, at the time of exercise, in cash or in shares of Stock (whether then owned by the Employee or issuable upon exercise of the Option) having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option Price or in a combination of cash and Stock, including a cashless exercise procedure through a broker dealer.

8. Termination. Except as provided in this Section 8 and in Section 9 hereof, an Option may not be exercised unless the Employee is then in the employ of or maintaining a director or consultant relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof (or a company or a Parent or Subsidiary of such company issuing or assuming the Option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies), and unless the Employee has remained continuously so employed or in the director or consultant relationship since the date of grant of the Option. In the event that the employment or consultant relationship of a Employee shall terminate (other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement), all Options of such Employee that are exercisable at the time of Employee’s termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within three (3) months after the date of such termination (or such different period as the Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”) shall prescribe).

9. Death, Disability or Retirement of Employee. If the Employee shall die while employed by, or maintaining a director or consultant relationship with, the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, or within thirty (30) days after the date of termination of such Employee’s employment, director or consultant relationship (or within such different period as the Committee may have provided pursuant to Section 8 hereof), or if the Employee’s employment, director or consultant relationship shall terminate by reason of Disability, all Options theretofore granted to the Employee (to the extent otherwise exercisable) may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Employee or by the Employee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such Options by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by result of death or Disability of the Employee, at any time within 180 days after the death or Disability of the Employee (or such different period as the Committee shall prescribe). In the event that an Option granted hereunder shall be exercised by the legal representatives of a deceased or former Employee, written notice of such exercise shall be accompanied by a

certified copy of letters testamentary or equivalent proof of the right of such legal representative to exercise such Option. In the event that the employment or consultant relationship of a Employee shall terminate on account of such Employee’s Retirement, all Options of the Employee that are exercisable at the time of such Retirement may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Retirement (or such different period as the Committee shall prescribe).

10. Withholding Taxes. No later than the date of exercise of an Option, the Employee will pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of an Option. Alternatively, solely to the extent permitted or required by law, the Company may deduct the amount of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of an Option from any payment of any kind due to the Employee. The withholding obligation may be satisfied by the withholding or delivery of the Stock.

11. Terms Incorporated by Reference Herein. Each of the terms of the Company’s 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (“Plan”), as in effect as of the date hereof, shall be deemed to govern the Options granted hereunder, as if the Options had been granted pursuant to the Plan. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

12. Transferability of Options. Stock Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than to an immediate family member of Employee or to a trust or other estate planning entity created for the benefit of the Employee or one or more members of his immediate family as provided for under the Plan, provided that, in all cases, such transferee executes a written consent to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement contains all of the understandings between the parties hereto pertaining to the matters referred to herein, and supersedes all undertakings and agreements, whether oral or in writing, previously entered into by them with respect thereto.

No waiver by any party hereto of any breach by another party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar of dissimilar condition or provision at the same time, any prior time or any subsequent time.
