GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information

This Proxy Statement is furnished to the stockholders of IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “IDT”), in connection with the solicitation by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of proxies for use in voting at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, December 15, 2005 at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the Company’s headquarters located at 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102. The shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), present at the Annual Meeting or represented by the proxies received by telephone, Internet or mail (properly marked, dated and executed) and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement is being mailed to the Company’s stockholders on or about November 9, 2005.

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is exercised by delivering to the Company (to the attention of Joyce J. Mason, Esq., Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary) a written notice of revocation or by executing a later-dated proxy by telephone, Internet or mail, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Solicitation and Voting Procedures

This solicitation of proxies is being made by the Company. The solicitation is being conducted by mail, and the Company will bear all attendant costs. These costs will include the expense of preparing and mailing proxy materials for the Annual Meeting and any reimbursements paid to brokerage firms and others for their expenses incurred in forwarding the solicitation materials regarding the Annual Meeting to the beneficial owners of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Company may conduct further solicitations personally, by telephone or by facsimile through its officers, directors and employees, none of whom will receive additional compensation for assisting with the solicitation.

The close of business on Friday, October 21, 2005 has been fixed as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the holders of shares of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had 110,829,144 shares outstanding, of which 99,680,450 shares are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, consisting of 16,898,473 shares of Common Stock, 9,816,988 shares of Class A Common Stock and 72,964,989 shares of Class B Common Stock. The remaining 11,148,694 shares outstanding, consisting of 8,176,387 shares of Common Stock and 2,972,307 shares of Class B Common Stock, are beneficially owned by the Company, and are not entitled to vote or be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by them, three votes for each share of Class A Common Stock held by them and one-tenth of one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held by them. The holders of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote as a single body on all matters presented to the stockholders.

Holders of record of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the Record Date can vote by telephone, on the Internet, by mail or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting by ballot. To vote by phone, call the toll-free telephone number on the proxy card (1-800-PROXIES), and to vote by Internet visit www.voteproxy.com. To vote by mail, mark, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Beneficial holders of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the Record Date will receive voting instructions from their bank, broker or other holder of record.

Voting by telephone, Internet or mail will not limit the right of a stockholder of record as of the Record Date to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If a stockholder’s shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, such stockholder must obtain a proxy, executed in his, her or its favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting. All shares for which a proxy has been duly executed and delivered (by telephone, Internet or mail) and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting. If a stockholder of record signs and returns a proxy card but does not give voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.

The presence at the Annual Meeting of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (voting together), either in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

If a broker holds shares of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock in the name of a beneficial owner, the broker is permitted to vote such shares on the election of directors (Proposal No. 1) and the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 4). Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, brokers may not vote shares on the approval of the 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (Proposal No. 2) or on the approval of the grants of options and restricted Class B Common Stock to certain officers and directors (Proposal No. 3) absent instructions from the beneficial owner.

A plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required for the election of each candidate to the Board of Directors. This means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular slot is elected for that slot. Only votes voted “for” or “withheld” affect the outcome. Abstentions are not counted for the purposes of the election of directors.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power present at the Annual Meeting will be required for the approval of all other matters, including Proposal Nos. 2, 3, and 4 submitted to the vote of the Company’s stockholders. Abstentions are counted as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and have the effect of a vote “against” any matter as to which they are specified, other than the election of directors. Broker non-votes are not considered shares present and will not affect the outcome of the vote. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Electronic Delivery

This Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and the Company’s Annual Report (the proxy materials) are available on the Company’s web site www.idt.net/ir. Instead of receiving future copies by mail, stockholders can elect to receive an e-mail that will provide electronic links to the proxy materials and instructions on how to vote. Opting to receive proxy materials online will save the Company the cost of producing and mailing documents.

Stockholders of record can enroll for electronic delivery by visiting www.amstock.com and clicking on Shareholder Account Access. Complete instructions are set forth on the proxy card.

Beneficial stockholders may also have the opportunity to receive copies of the proxy materials electronically. Beneficial stockholders should consult the information provided in the proxy materials mailed to them by their brokers and banks.

Stockholders Sharing the Same Address

We are sending only one copy of the Annual Report and Proxy Statement to stockholders who share the same last name and address, unless they have notified the Company that they want to continue to receive multiple copies. This practice, known as “householding”, is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and printings and postage costs. However, if any stockholder residing at such address wishes to receive a separate Annual Report or Proxy Statement in the future, he or she may contact Joyce J. Mason, Corporate Secretary, IDT Corporation, 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102, who as a phone number of (973) 438-1000.

References to Fiscal Years

The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a Fiscal Year refers to the Fiscal Year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., Fiscal 2005 refers to the Fiscal Year ended July 31, 2005).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Introduction

The Company has in place a comprehensive corporate governance framework that reflects the corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the corporate governance listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. Consistent with the Company’s commitment to strong corporate governance, the Company does not rely, except as described below with regard to the Nominating Committee, on the exceptions from the New York Stock Exchange’s corporate governance listing requirements available to it because it is a “controlled company.”

In accordance with Sections 303A.09 and 303A.10 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, the Company has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the full texts of which are available for your review in the Governance section of our website at www.idt.net/ir and which also are available in print to any stockholder upon request to the Corporate Secretary.

The Company qualifies as a “controlled company” as defined in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, because more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is controlled by one individual, Howard S. Jonas, the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding that being a “controlled company” entitles the Company to exempt itself from the requirement that a majority of its directors be “independent” directors and that the Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance Committee be comprised entirely of “independent” directors, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are “independent” in accordance with Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and that the Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance Committee are in fact comprised entirely of “independent” directors. As a “controlled company,” the Company may, and has chosen to, exempt itself from the New York Stock Exchange requirement that it have a single Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee composed entirely of “independent” directors. As noted above, and discussed in greater detail below, the Board of Directors maintains a separate Corporate Governance Committee comprised entirely of “independent” directors, and a Nominating Committee comprised of two management directors.

Director Independence

In addition to the other independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, the Board of Directors uses the following categorical standards in determining the “independence” of its directors:

1. During the past three years, the Company shall not have employed the director, or, except in a non-officer capacity, any of the director’s immediate family members;

2. During the past three years the director shall not have received, and shall not have an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $100,000 in direct compensation from the Company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service);

3. (a) Neither the director nor any of his or her immediate family members shall be a current partner of a firm that is the Company’s internal or external auditor, (b) the director shall not be a current employee of such firm, (c) the director shall not have an immediate family member who is a current employee of such firm who participates in the firm’s audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice, and (d) neither the director nor any of his or her immediate family members shall have been, within the last three years, a partner or employee of such firm and personally worked on the Company’s audit within that time;

4. Neither the director, nor any of his or her immediate family members, shall be, or shall have been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the Company’s present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that company’s compensation (or equivalent) committee;

5. The director shall not be a current employee and shall not have an immediate family member who is a current executive officer of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of (a) $1 million or (b) two percent of the consolidated gross revenues of such other company;

6. During the past five years, the director shall not have had a personal services contract with the Company, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, any other executive officer or any affiliate of the Company;

7. The director shall not be an executive officer of a tax exempt organization to which the Company has made contributions in any of the last three fiscal years that have exceeded the greater of (a) $1 million or (b) two percent of the consolidated gross revenues of such tax exempt organization; and

8. The director shall not, either directly or indirectly as a partner, stockholder or officer of another company, own more than five percent of any class of equity securities of the Company.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of J. Warren Blaker, Rudy Boschwitz, Saul K. Fenster, James S. Gilmore, III, Slade Gorton, Jack F. Kemp, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick and Michael J. Levitt is “independent” in accordance with the above specified categorical standards and in accordance with the independence requirements of Section 303A.02(b) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

Board of Directors and Committees

The Board of Directors held six meetings in Fiscal 2005. In Fiscal 2005, each of the Company’s directors attended or participated in 75% or more of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period in which each such director served as a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors during the period in which each such director served on such committee.

Directors are encouraged to attend the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders, and the Company generally schedules a meeting of the Board of Directors on the same date and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders to encourage director attendance. All of the directors constituting the Board of Directors at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders for Fiscal 2004 (except Ambassador Jeane J. Kirkpatrick) attended the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 303A.03 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual requires that the non-management directors of the Company meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. These executive sessions are held at every regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors. Mr. Levitt, a non-management director and the “lead independent director,” has been appointed the Presiding Director of these executive sessions.

The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Corporate Governance Committee, a Technology Committee, an IDT-Net2Phone Committee on Inter-Company Issues and a Special Real Estate Committee. The membership, duties and obligations of each of these committees are as follows:

The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Levitt, Boschwitz and Fenster, and is responsible for, among other things, the appointment, compensation, removal and oversight of the work of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also oversees management’s performance of its responsibility for the integrity of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting and its systems of internal controls, the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee operates under a written Audit Committee charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which can be found in the Governance section of our web site: www.idt.net/ir and which also is available in print to any stockholder upon request to the Corporate Secretary. The Audit Committee held

12 meetings during Fiscal 2005. The Board of Directors has determined that (i) all of the members of the Audit Committee are “independent” within the meaning of the Section 303A.07(b) and Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and Rule 10A-3(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and (ii) that Mr. Levitt qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K.

The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing nominations to the Board of Directors, including: (i) developing the criteria and qualifications for membership on the Board of Directors, (ii) recommending candidates to fill new or vacant positions on the Board of Directors, and (iii) conducting appropriate inquiries into the backgrounds of potential candidates. The Nominating Committee currently consists of Messrs. Jonas and Courter, neither of whom is “independent” in accordance with Section 303A.04 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, as the Company has chosen to be exempt from such requirement as a “controlled company.” The Nominating Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which can be found in the Governance section of our web site: www.idt.net/ir and which also is available in print to any stockholder upon request to the Corporate Secretary. The Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by the Company’s stockholders. Stockholders may recommend director candidates by contacting the Chairman of the Board as provided under the heading “Director Communications.” The Nominating Committee considers candidates suggested by its members, other directors, senior management and stockholders in anticipation of upcoming elections and actual or expected board vacancies. All candidates, including those recommended by stockholders, are evaluated on the same basis in light of the entirety of their credentials and the need of the Board of Directors and the Company. Of particular importance are the candidate’s integrity and judgment, professional achievements and experience relevant to the Company’s business and strategic challenges, his or her potential contribution to the diversity of the Board of Directors and his or her willingness to devote adequate time to fulfill duties as a director. The Nominating Committee held two meetings in Fiscal 2005.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing and evaluating all compensation arrangements for the executive officers of the Company and administrating the Company’s 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, and will be responsible for administrating the Company’s 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan if the plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Fenster, Blaker and Gilmore. The Compensation Committee held 11 meetings during Fiscal 2005. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which can be found in the Governance section of our web site: www.idt.net/ir and which also is available in print to any stockholder upon request to the Corporate Secretary. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Compensation Committee are “independent” within the meaning of Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for making recommendations regarding the size and composition of the Board of Directors, based to a large extent upon the information and advice provided by senior management and independent advisors. The Corporate Governance Committee also (i) reviews and reports to the Board of Directors on matters involving relationships among the Board of Directors, the stockholders and senior management, and (ii) reviews the corporate governance guidelines of the Company and recommends revisions as appropriate. The Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Ambassador Kirkpatrick and Messrs. Boschwitz, Kemp and Gorton. The Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which can be found in the Governance section of our web site: www.idt.net/ir and which also is available in print to any stockholder upon request to the Corporate Secretary. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Corporate Governance Committee are “independent” within the meaning of Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. The Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings in Fiscal 2005.

The Technology Committee consists of Messrs. Blaker, Fenster and Kaganoff. The Technology Committee is responsible for reviewing, analyzing and reporting to the Board of Directors on (i) present and future

technology-related projects of the Company, (ii) the state of the Company’s present technology infrastructure and its existing and planned research and development efforts, (iii) future means of maximizing the Company’s technological advances in the marketplace, and (iv) further means of maximizing the Company’s strategic investment in intellectual property for competitive advances. The Technology Committee also establishes appropriate programs, policies and procedures as necessary to further the Company’s objectives relating to technology and intellectual property.

The IDT-Net2Phone Committee on Inter-Company Issues consists of Messrs. Fenster and Levitt and is responsible for reviewing material inter-company arrangements and material issues that arise between the Company and Net2Phone.

The Special Real Estate Committee consists of Messrs. Boschwitz and Fenster and is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding real estate related transactions of the Company.

Interested parties may express their concerns to the Company’s non-management directors by contacting the Presiding Director, care of Joyce J. Mason, Esq., Corporate Secretary, IDT Corporation, 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102. The Corporate Secretary will relay all such correspondence to the Presiding Director.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Pursuant to the Company’s 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, effective March 12, 2004, each person who is a non-employee director of the Company or a non-employee director of a non-public, majority-owned subsidiary of the Company receives an annual automatic grant consisting of an option to purchase 3,333 shares of Class B Common Stock and 2,666 fully vested restricted shares of Class B Common Stock. In addition, each non-employee director who serves as a member of one or more committees of the Board of Directors of IDT as of the annual grant date will receive an additional annual automatic grant consisting of an option to purchase 3,333 shares of Class B Common Stock and 2,666 fully vested restricted shares of Class B Common Stock. The annual grant date is January 5^th (or the next business day thereafter). New non-employee directors receive an automatic grant on the date that they become a director in the amount specified above, pro rated based on the calendar quarter in which such person became a director.

If the Company’s stockholders approve the Company’s 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, instead of the compensation described in the immediately preceding paragraph, each person who is a non-employee director of the Company or a non-employee director of a non-public, majority-owned subsidiary of the Company will receive an annual automatic grant of 3,750 fully vested restricted shares of Class B Common Stock. In addition, each non-employee director who serves as a member of one or more committees of the Board of Directors of IDT as of the annual grant date will receive an additional annual automatic grant of 3,750 fully vested restricted shares of Class B Common Stock. The annual grant date will be January 5^th (or the next business day thereafter). New non-employee directors receive an automatic grant on the date that they become a director in the amount specified above, pro rated based on the calendar quarter in which such person became a director.

All such grants of options and restricted stock to non-employee directors are subject to certain terms and conditions (including, without limitation, a term of ten years for options and limitations on exercisability of options following cessation of service with the Company as a director) described in the Company’s 1996 Stock

Option and Incentive Plan or the Company’s 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as applicable. The option price for options granted to non-employee directors is equal to the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock as defined in the 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.

Each non-employee director of the Company who attends at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors during a calendar year also receives an annual retainer of $25,000. Each non-employee director of the Company’s non-public, majority-owned subsidiaries who attends at least 75% of the meetings of the board of directors of such subsidiary during a calendar year receives an annual retainer of $15,000. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer may, in his discretion, waive the requirement of 75% attendance by a director to receive the annual retainer in the case of mitigating circumstances. In addition, non-employee directors who serve on committees of the Board of Directors receive $1,000 for each committee meeting they attend in person ($2,000 in the case of the Audit Committee) and $500 ($1,000 in the case of the Audit Committee) for each committee meeting in which they participate by telephone. In recognition of his significant additional responsibilities, the lead independent director of the Board of Directors, currently Michael J. Levitt, receives an additional retainer of $75,000 per year.

Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Jonas and Courter. Mr. Jonas’s employment agreement, dated as of April 1, 2002 and amended on May 12, 2005, provides for a minimum base salary of $500,000, which may be increased, but not decreased, during the term of the agreement. The Company may terminate Mr. Jonas’s employment only for “cause” (as defined in the agreement). If the agreement is terminated without cause, the Company is obligated to pay to Mr. Jonas an amount equal to the sum of his base salary for the remainder of his term. The agreement, as amended, has a five-year term that expires on March 31, 2007, but is automatically extendable for additional one year periods unless the Board of Directors or Mr. Jonas notifies the other, within ninety days of the anniversary of such period, that the agreement will not be extended. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Jonas has agreed not to compete with the Company for a period of one year following the termination of the agreement.

During Fiscal 2005, Mr. Courter was employed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company pursuant to an employment agreement, dated as of April 1, 1999 and amended as of August 1, 2001, and subsequently amended as of October 22, 2001 and May 12, 2005. Such employment agreement, as amended, provides for a minimum base salary of $500,000, which may not be decreased, but must be increased from time to time to match the base salary of the highest paid employee of the Company or of any entity controlled by the Company, during the term of the agreement. The Company may terminate Mr. Courter’s employment only for “cause” (as defined in the agreement). In the event of termination without “cause” or in the event Mr. Courter terminates his employment for “good reason” (as defined in the employment agreement), any and all unvested options shall vest automatically and Mr. Courter shall be permitted to exercise any and all options which are outstanding as of the date of his termination within two (2) years from such date. If the agreement is terminated without “cause,” the Company is obligated to pay to Mr. Courter all due and unpaid amounts to which Mr. Courter was then entitled and Mr. Courter’s minimum base salary for the remainder of the employment term but in no event less than twelve months. The amended agreement has a five-year term commencing from October 2001 and expiring in October 2006, and is automatically extendable for additional one-year periods unless the Board of Directors or Mr. Courter notifies the other, within ninety days of the anniversary of such period, that the agreement will not be extended. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Courter has agreed not to compete with the Company for a period of one year following the termination of the agreement. In addition, Mr. Courter was granted options to purchase 300,000 shares of Class B Common Stock which vested over a three-year period under the original terms of the agreement and, pursuant to the October 2001 amendment, was granted options to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock which vest over a five-year period.

Employee Stock Option Program

The Company has adopted the 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated, pursuant to which options to purchase Class B Common Stock and shares of restricted Class B Common Stock were awarded. The Company has adopted, subject to stockholder approval at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, the 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, which is described further in “Proposal No. 2” below. If the Company’s stockholders approve the 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, the Company anticipates awarding options to purchase Class B Common Stock and Common Stock and restricted Class B Common Stock and Common Stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants under such Plan. From time to time the Company has granted (a) options to purchase Class B Common Stock and (b) restricted Class B Common Stock that are not granted pursuant to a previously adopted plan. A description of such options and restricted stock granted in Fiscal 2005 is contained in “Proposal No. 3” below.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During Fiscal 2005, each of Messrs. Blaker, Fenster and Gilmore served as a member of the Compensation Committee. None of the members of the Compensation Committee were employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries during Fiscal 2005 or at any other time. None of the members of the Compensation Committee, other than Mr. Gilmore, were party to any transaction that was required to be disclosed under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

Reports of the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that might incorporate future filings, including this Proxy Statement, in whole or in part, the following reports and the Performance Graph set forth below shall not be incorporated by reference into any such filings, nor shall they be deemed to be soliciting material or deemed filed with the SEC under the Act or under the Exchange Act.

Report of the Compensation Committee

Philosophy

The compensation philosophy of the Company is to develop and implement policies that will attract and retain executive officers who bring valuable experience and skills to the Company and motivate them to contribute to the Company’s long-term success. By maintaining competitive compensation levels, the Company is able to attract and retain those individuals who are instrumental in helping the Company achieve its business objectives, thereby increasing long-term shareholder value.

The Compensation Committee believes that the development of compensation policies and the review of compensation programs is an evolving process that must take into account significant corporate developments and market dynamics. To that end, the Compensation Committee met 12 times during Fiscal 2005 to, among other things, (i) develop a comprehensive list of parameters for use in evaluating the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers of the Company, (ii) discuss, review and approve bonuses and awards of stock options and restricted stock to executive officers and (iii) review the base salaries of all executive officers.

In Fiscal 2006, the Compensation Committee intends to continue to reassess the Company’s existing compensation policies and to review outstanding executive officer pay packages and agreements.

Evaluation of Executive Performance in Fiscal 2005

When assessing executive performance, the Compensation Committee does not rely solely on predetermined formulas. Rather, the Compensation Committee considered each executive’s overall contributions to the Company’s long-term and short-term goals. In Fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee, working with senior management of the Company, compiled the following list of parameters (listed in no particular order) for the Compensation Committee to use as it evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers of the Company:

•

earnings per share;

•

shareholder value;

•

core business growth, revenue growth, revenue diversification and geographic and market expansion;

•

free cash flow;

•

the strength of the Company’s balance sheet;

•

intellectual property exploitation;

•

legal and regulatory compliance;

•

the extent to which budgetary objectives are met;

•

the development of a strategic vision and a strategic plan; and

•

organizational transparency.

The Compensation Committee believes that sufficient latitude exists in the interpretation of the parameters to adequately give weight to both the short-term and long-term objectives of the Company. This list of parameters is considered when developing factors that are more tailored to each executive’s responsibilities. For example, when assessing the performance of executives in the IDT Telecom subsidiary, the following factors were considered:

•

increasing revenues, earnings and telecom minutes;

•

improving operating margins and successful cost reduction efforts;

•

expanding IDT’s telecommunications network;

•

expanding the number of geographic markets served by IDT;

•

rolling out new products and programs;

•

developing new products, such as stored value cards; and

•

developing leadership talent.

The Compensation Committee considers the need for the management of the Company to balance short-term goals, such as generating earnings per share, with longer terms goals, such as fostering the Company’s entrepreneurial investments and maintaining a strong balance sheet. The success of the effort to balance these often-competing objectives and their benefits to the Company cannot always be quantified, but the Compensation Committee believes that these efforts are critical to the Company’s on-going success.

Structure of Compensation Programs

The Company’s compensation programs provide executives with incentives to advance both the short-term and long-term interests of the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s compensation programs of both cash-based and equity-based compensation consist of base salary, quarterly cash bonuses, annual cash bonuses, stock options and restricted stock awards. In addition to reviewing the individual components of the compensation program, the Compensation Committee also reviews the totality of the compensation packages.

Base Salaries and Bonuses. Salaries and bonuses for the Company’s executive officers are determined primarily on the basis of each executive officer’s responsibility, the general salary practices of companies with which the Company competes and each officer’s individual qualifications and experience. The Compensation Committee reviewed a compensation study compiled by a third-party and determined that the base salary of each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board required adjustment. As a result of such determination, the Company, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, amended the employment agreements of each of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board to increase each of their minimum annual base salaries from $250,000 to $500,000.

Bonuses for the Company’s executive officers are based on various financial and non-financial results of the Company and its non-public, majority-owned subsidiaries as described above. A significant portion of bonuses are related to the performance of the Company’s telecom segment, as that is the area that currently generates the bulk of the Company’s revenues and operating profits. Bonuses are paid quarterly, and an annual portion is paid as well. The Compensation Committee believes that paying bonuses on a quarterly basis provides the executives with a greater sense of urgency to meet short-term goals. By providing an annual bonus, the Compensation Committee believes that it also provides management with incentives to also focus on long-term goals and not merely quarter-to-quarter objectives.

Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grants. Stock options and shares of restricted stock are awarded to executive officers and other employees. Stock options provide value to the executive only when the Company’s stock price exceeds the stock option exercise price, which is equal to the closing price of the stock on the date immediately prior to the date that the stock option is granted. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee believes that the appreciation of stock value underlying stock options provides a strong incentive for recipients of awards to manage the Company in accordance with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Grants of restricted stock further a sense of stock ownership by executive officers and better align their interests with those of the stockholders. In order to enhance the retention of executives, restricted stock grants generally vest in approximately equal portions over a three-year period. The Compensation Committee determines the number of options or restricted stock to be granted based on the executive’s level of responsibility, prior performance, and other compensation.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. James A. Courter, dated as of April 1, 1999 and amended on August 1, 2001, October 22, 2001 and May 12, 2005, pursuant to which Mr. Courter became Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective August 2001. The employment agreement, as amended, provides for a minimum annual base salary of $500,000, which, during the term of the agreement, may not be decreased, but must be increased from time to time to match the base salary of the highest paid employee of the Company or of any entity controlled by the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, as amended, Mr. Courter was paid a base salary of $394,230 during Fiscal 2005. Mr. Courter was also granted (a) options during Fiscal 2005 to purchase 33,333 shares of Class B Common Stock and (b) 35,001 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock. The options awarded to Mr. Courter in Fiscal 2005 are fully vested. The shares of restricted stock awarded to Mr. Courter in Fiscal 2005 vest in equal installments over a three-year period. Mr. Courter also received bonuses totaling $1,357,635, which included $180,487 of deferred compensation, in Fiscal 2005. In determining Mr. Courter’s bonus, the Compensation Committee took into account Mr. Courter’s continued demonstration of vision and leadership, which helped enable the Company to increase its revenues, particularly in its calling card business, to develop its entertainment business and to maintain its strong balance sheet.

Report of the Audit Committee

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process. The Audit Committee’s function is more fully described in its charter, which was amended by the Board of Directors on September 16, 2003. The Committee reviews the charter on an annual basis. The Board of Directors annually reviews the NYSE listing standards’ definition of independence for audit committee members and has determined that each member of the Committee meets that standard. The Board of Directors has also determined that Michael J. Levitt qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws, and regulations. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, is responsible for performing independent audits of (i) the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and (iii) the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

The Committee has reviewed and discussed with the Company’s management, the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, as well as the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2005, and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards Board Standard No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees.” In addition, Ernst & Young LLP has provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and the Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S

2005 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company’s stockholders are being asked to approve the Company’s 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which provides for, among other things, the award of up to 2,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock as detailed in the 2005 Plan. The Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Plan on September 21, 2005, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.

Beginning in March 2006, the Company will be prohibited from granting awards under the 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated, pursuant to the terms of such Plan. The Board of Directors believes that it is necessary to provide the Company with a sufficient reserve of shares of Class B Common Stock and Common Stock for future award grants to attract and retain the services of key employees, directors and consultants of the Company who are essential to the Company’s long-term success. Accordingly, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Plan, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, to provide the Company with a vehicle to grant awards of stock options and restricted stock to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. As of November 1, 2005, no shares had been issued under the 2005 Plan.

The 2005 Plan is being submitted for a stockholder vote in order to enable the Company to grant options which are incentive stock options (“ISOs”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and because such approval may be required or advisable in connection with (i) the provisions set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code relating to the deductibility of certain compensation and (ii) the rules and regulations applicable to New York Stock Exchange-listed companies.

The following description of the 2005 Plan is a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2005 Plan. A copy of the 2005 Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A and has been filed with the SEC with this Proxy Statement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2005 PLAN

Pursuant to the 2005 Plan, officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and deferred stock units. Options granted under the 2005 Plan may be ISOs or non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”). Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and limited stock appreciation rights (“LSARs”) may be granted either alone or simultaneously with the grant of an option. Restricted stock and deferred stock units may be granted in addition to or in lieu of any other award made under the 2005 Plan.

The maximum number of shares of Class B Common Stock reserved for the grant of awards under the 2005 Plan is 2,500,000. Such share reserves are subject to further adjustment in the event of specified changes to the capital structure of the Company. The shares may be made available either from the Company’s authorized but unissued capital stock or from capital stock reacquired by the Company.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the 2005 Plan. Subject to the provisions of the 2005 Plan, the Compensation Committee will determine the type of awards, when and to which executives awards will be granted, the number of shares covered by each award and the terms, provisions and kind of consideration payable (if any), with respect to awards. The Compensation Committee may interpret the 2005 Plan and may at any time adopt such rules and regulations for the 2005 Plan as it deems advisable, including the delegation of certain of its authority. In determining the persons to whom awards shall be granted and the number of shares covered by each award, the Compensation Committee takes into account the duties of the respective persons, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company and such other factors as the Compensation Committee deems relevant.

An option may be granted on such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may approve, and generally may be exercised for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant. Generally, ISOs will be granted with an exercise price equal to the “Fair Market Value” (as defined in the 2005 Plan) on the date of grant. In the case of ISOs, certain limitations will apply with respect to the aggregate value of option shares which can become exercisable for the first time during any one calendar year, and certain additional limitations will apply to ISOs granted to “Ten Percent Stockholders” of the Company (as defined in the 2005 Plan). The Compensation Committee may provide for the payment of the option price in cash, by delivery of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such option price, by a combination thereof or by any other method. Options granted under the 2005 Plan will become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as the Compensation Committee shall determine, subject to acceleration of the exercisability of options in the event of, among other things, a “Change in Control,” a “Corporate Transaction” or a “Related Entity Disposition” (in each case, as defined in the 2005 Plan).

The 2005 Plan provides for automatic option and restricted stock grants to eligible non-employee directors of the Company and its non-public, majority-owned subsidiaries. Once per year, each non-employee director will receive 3,750 shares of fully vested restricted stock and each non-employee director who serves as a member of one or more committees of the Board of Directors of the Company as of such grant date shall receive an additional grant of 3,750 shares of fully vested restricted stock (without duplicate grants for serving on multiple Board committees). New non-employee directors will receive a pro-rata amount (based on projected quarters of service following the grant date) of such annual grants on his or her date of initial election and qualification as a non-employee director. The grant date for incumbent annual non-employee director grants will be each January 5 (or the next business day).

The 2005 Plan also provides for the granting of restricted stock awards, which are awards of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock that may not be disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as the Compensation Committee determines (the “restricted period”). The Compensation Committee may also impose such other conditions and restrictions, if any, on the shares as it deems appropriate, including the satisfaction of performance criteria. All restrictions affecting the awarded shares lapse in the event of a Change in Control, a Corporate Transaction or a Related Entity Disposition.

During the restricted period for a restricted stock award, the grantee will be entitled to receive dividends with respect to, and to vote, the shares of restricted stock awarded to him or her. If, during the restricted period, the grantee’s service with the Company terminates, any shares remaining subject to restrictions will be forfeited. The Compensation Committee has the authority to cancel any or all outstanding restrictions prior to the end of the restricted period, including cancellation of restrictions in connection with certain types of termination of service.

The 2005 Plan also permits the Compensation Committee to grant SARs and/or LSARS. Generally, SARs may be exercised at such time or times and only to the extent determined by the Compensation Committee and LSARs may be exercised only (i) during the 90 days immediately following a Change in Control or (ii) immediately prior to the effective date of a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the 2005 Plan). LSARs will be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent determined by the Compensation Committee. An LSAR granted in connection with an ISO is exercisable only if the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, on the date of grant exceeds the purchase price specified in the related ISO.

Upon exercise of an SAR, a grantee will receive for each share for which an SAR is exercised, an amount in cash or Class B Common Stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee, equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Class B Common Stock on the date the SAR is exercised, over (ii) the exercise or other base price of the SAR or, if applicable, the exercise price per share of the option to which the SAR relates.

Upon exercise of an LSAR, a grantee will receive for each share for which an LSAR is exercised, an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the greater of (x) the highest Fair Market Value of a share of Class B

Common Stock during the 90-day period ending on the date the LSAR is exercised, and (y) whichever of the following is applicable: (1) the highest per share price paid in any tender or exchange offer which is in effect at any time during the 90 days ending on the date of exercise of the LSAR; (2) the fixed or formula price for the acquisition of shares of Class B Common Stock in a merger in which the Company will not continue as the surviving corporation, or upon a consolidation, or a sale, exchange or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, approved by the Company’s stockholders (if such price is determinable on the date of exercise); and (3) the highest price per share of Class B Common Stock shown on Schedule 13D, or any amendment thereto, filed by the holder of the specified percentage of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, the acquisition of which gives rise to the exercisability of the LSAR over (ii) the exercise or other base price of the LSAR or, if applicable, the exercise price per share of the option to which the LSAR relates. In no event, however, may the holder of an LSAR granted in connection with an ISO receive an amount in excess of the maximum amount which will enable the option to continue to qualify as an ISO.

When an SAR or LSAR is exercised, the option to which it relates, if any, will cease to be exercisable to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the SAR or LSAR is exercised, but will be deemed to have been exercised for purposes of determining the number of shares available for the future grant of awards under the 2005 Plan.

The 2005 Plan further provides for the granting of deferred stock units, which are awards providing a right to receive shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock on a deferred basis, subject to such restrictions and a restricted period as the Compensation Committee determines. The Compensation Committee may also impose such other conditions and restrictions, if any, on the payment of shares as it deems appropriate, including the satisfaction of performance criteria. All deferred stock awards become fully vested in the event of a Change of Control, a Corporate Transaction or a Related Entity Disposition.

The grantee of a deferred stock unit will not be entitled to receive dividends or vote the underlying shares until the underlying shares are delivered to the grantee. The Compensation Committee has the authority to cancel any or all outstanding restrictions prior to the end of the restricted period, including cancellation of restrictions in connection with certain types of termination of service.

During any one calendar year, no grantee may be granted options to acquire more than an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or be awarded more than 2,000,000 shares of restricted stock or deferred stock units (in each case subject to further adjustment as provided in the 2005 Plan).

The Board of Directors may at any time and from time to time suspend, amend, modify or terminate the 2005 Plan; provided, however, that, to the extent required by any other law, regulation or stock exchange rule, no such change shall be effective without the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, no such change may adversely affect an award previously granted, except with the written consent of the grantee.

No awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan after the tenth anniversary of its initial adoption.

ISOs (and any related SARs) are not assignable or transferable except by the laws of descent and distribution. Non-qualified stock options (and any SARs or LSARs related thereto) may be transferred to the extent permitted by the Compensation Committee. Holders of NQSOs (and any SARs or LSARs related thereto) are permitted to transfer such NQSOs for no consideration to such holder’s “family members” (as defined in Form S-8) with the prior approval of the Compensation Committee.

Except as set forth in the table below, the Company cannot now determine the number of options or other awards to be granted in the future under the 2005 Plan to officers, directors, employees and consultants.

NEW PLAN BENEFITS


Name and Principal Position	Number of Shares of Restricted Class B Common Stock
Non-Employee Director Group	101,250	(1)

(1)

Each non-employee director of the Company and certain of its non-public, majority-owned subsidiaries will receive an annual grant of 3,750 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock for being a director and an additional 3,750 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock for serving on a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. In Fiscal 2006, this automatic grant will be made on January 5, 2006. Calculation is based upon the number of such non-employee directors as of October 21, 2005.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards Granted under the 2005 Plan

The Company believes that, under present law, the following are the U.S. federal income tax consequences generally arising with respect to awards under the 2005 Plan.

Incentive Stock Options. ISOs granted under the 2005 Plan are intended to meet the definitional requirements of Section 422(b) of the Code for “incentive stock options.” A participant who receives an ISO does not recognize any taxable income upon the grant of such ISO. Similarly, the exercise of an ISO generally does not give rise to federal taxable income to the participant, provided that (i) the federal “alternative minimum tax,” which depends on the participant’s particular tax situation, does not apply and (ii) the participant is employed by the Company from the date of grant of the option until three months prior to the exercise thereof, except where such employment or service terminates by reason of disability or death (where the three month period is extended to one year).

Further, if after exercising an ISO, a participant disposes of the Class B Common Stock so acquired more than two years from the date of grant and more than one year from the date of transfer of the Class B Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of such ISO (the “applicable holding period”), the participant will normally recognize a long-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount received for the shares and the exercise price. If, however, the participant does not hold the shares so acquired for the applicable holding period – thereby making a “disqualifying disposition” – the participant would realize ordinary income on the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time the ISO was exercised over the exercise price, and the balance of income, if any, would be long-term capital gain (provided the holding period for the shares exceeded one year and the participant held such shares as a capital asset at such time).

A participant who exercises an ISO by delivering Class B Common Stock previously acquired pursuant to the exercise of another ISO is treated as making a “disqualifying disposition” of such Class B Common Stock if such shares are delivered before the expiration of their applicable holding period. Upon the exercise of an ISO with previously acquired shares as to which no disqualifying disposition occurs, the participant would not recognize gain or loss with respect to such previously acquired shares. The Company will not be allowed a federal income tax deduction upon the grant or exercise of an ISO or the disposition, after the applicable holding period, of the Class B Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO. In the event of a disqualifying disposition, the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant, provided that such amount constitutes an ordinary and necessary business expense to the Company and is reasonable and the limitations of Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code (discussed below) do not apply.

Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Non-qualified stock options granted under the 2005 Plan are options that do not qualify as ISOs. A participant who receives an NQSO or an SAR (including an LSAR) will not recognize any taxable income upon the grant of such NQSO or SAR. However, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income upon exercise of an NQSO in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares of Class B Common Stock at the time of exercise over (ii) the exercise price. Similarly, upon the receipt of cash or shares pursuant to the exercise of an SAR, the individual generally will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the shares received.

The ordinary income recognized with respect to the receipt of shares or cash upon exercise of a NQSO or an SAR will be subject to both wage withholding and other employment taxes. In addition to the customary methods of satisfying the withholding tax liabilities that arise upon the exercise of an SAR for shares or upon the exercise of a NQSO, the Company may satisfy the liability in whole or in part by withholding shares of Class B Common Stock from those that otherwise would be issuable to the participant or by the participant tendering other shares owned by him or her, valued at their fair market value as of the date that the tax withholding obligation arises.

A federal income tax deduction generally will be allowed to the Company in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the individual with respect to his or her NQSO or SAR, provided that such amount constitutes an ordinary and necessary business expense to the Company and is reasonable and the limitations of Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code do not apply.

If a participant exercises an NQSO by delivering shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock to the Company, other than shares previously acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO which is treated as a “disqualifying disposition” as described above, the participant will not recognize gain or loss with respect to the exchange of such shares, even if their then fair market value is different from the participant’s tax basis. The participant, however, will be taxed as described above with respect to the exercise of the NQSO as if he or she had paid the exercise price in cash, and the Company likewise generally will be entitled to an equivalent tax deduction.

Other Awards. With respect to other awards under the 2005 Plan that are settled either in cash or in shares of Class B Common Stock that are either transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (as defined in the Code and the regulations thereunder), participants generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash or the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock received. Participants also will not recognize income upon the grant of a deferred stock unit, and will instead recognize ordinary income when shares of Class B Common Stock are delivered in satisfaction of such award.

With respect to restricted stock awards under the 2005 Plan that are restricted to transferability and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture - absent a written election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after the date of transfer of such shares pursuant to the award (a “Section 83(b) election”) – a participant will recognize ordinary income at the earlier of the time at which (i) the shares become transferable or (ii) the restrictions that impose a substantial risk of forfeiture of such shares (the “Restrictions”) lapse, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value (on such date) of such shares over the price paid for the award, if any. If a Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will recognize ordinary income, as of the transfer date, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock as of that date over the price paid for such award, if any.

The ordinary income recognized with respect to the receipt of cash, shares of Class B Common Stock or other property under the 2005 Plan will be subject to both wage withholding and other employment taxes. In addition to the customary methods of satisfying withholding tax liabilities that arise with respect to the delivery of cash or property (or vesting thereof), the Company may satisfy the liability in whole or in part by withholding shares of Class B Common Stock from those that would otherwise be issuable to the participant or by the participant tendering other shares owned by him or her, valued at their fair market value as of the date that the tax withholding obligation arises.

The Company generally will be allowed a deduction for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant, provided that such amount constitutes an ordinary and necessary business expense and is reasonable and the limitations of Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code do not apply.

Change in Control. In general, if the total amount of payments to a participant that are contingent upon a “change of control” of the Company (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), including awards under the 2005 Plan that vest upon a “change in control,” equals or exceeds three times the individual’s “base amount” (generally, such participant’s average annual compensation for the five calendar years preceding the change in control), then, subject to certain exceptions, the payments may be treated as “parachute payments” under the Code, in which case a portion of such payments would be non-deductible to the Company and the participant would be subject to a 20% excise tax on such portion of the payments.

Certain Limitations on Deductibility of Executive Compensation. With certain exceptions, Section 162(m) of the Code denies a deduction to publicly held corporations for compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1 million per executive per taxable year (including any deduction with respect to the exercise of an NQSO or SAR or the disqualifying disposition of stock purchased pursuant to an ISO). One such exception applies to certain performance-based compensation provided that such compensation has been approved by stockholders in a separate vote and certain other requirements are met. The Company believes that Stock Options, SARs and LSARs granted under the 2005 Plan should qualify for the performance-based compensation exception to Section 162(m).

On October 21, 2005, the last reported sale price of the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $12.24 and $12.45, respectively, per share.

(b) If any outstanding award under the Plan should, for any reason expire, be canceled or be forfeited (other than in connection with the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right or a Limited Right), without having been exercised in full, the shares of Class B Common Stock allocable to the unexercised, canceled or terminated portion of such award shall (unless the Plan shall have been terminated) become available for subsequent grants of awards under the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

(c) In no event may a Grantee be granted during any calendar year Options to acquire more than an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and Common Stock or more than 2,000,000 shares of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock Units, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

6. Terms and Conditions of Options.

(a) OPTION AGREEMENT. Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the Grantee (the “Option Agreement”), in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which Option Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions, unless otherwise specifically provided in such Option Agreement. For purposes of interpreting this Section 6, a director’s service as a member of the Board or a consultant’s service shall be deemed to be employment with the Company.

(b) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Option Agreement shall state the number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, to which the Option relates.

(c) TYPE OF OPTION. Each Option Agreement shall specifically state that the Option constitutes an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. In the absence of such designation, the Option will be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock Option.

(d) OPTION PRICE. Each Option Agreement shall state the Option Price, which, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, covered by the Option on the date of grant. The Option Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

(e) MEDIUM AND TIME OF PAYMENT. The Option Price shall be paid in full, at the time of exercise, in cash or in shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option Price or in a combination of cash and Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, including a cashless exercise procedure through a broker-dealer; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the medium of payment shall be determined at the time of grant and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement.

(f) TERM AND EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS. Each Option Agreement shall provide the exercise schedule for the Option as determined by the Committee, provided, that, the Committee shall have the

A-5

authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding option at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. The exercise period will be ten (10) years from the date of the grant of the option unless otherwise determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such exercise period shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant of such Option. The exercise period shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in Sections 6(g) and 6(h) of the Plan. An Option may be exercised, as to any or all full shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, 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 Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, with respect to which the Option is being exercised.

(g) TERMINATION. Except as provided in this Section 6(g) and in Section 6(h) of the Plan, an Option may not be exercised unless the Grantee 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 Grantee has remained in Continuous Service with the Company or any Subsidiary since the date of grant of the Option. In the event that the employment or consultant relationship of a Grantee shall terminate (other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement), all Options of such Grantee that are exercisable at the time of Grantee’s termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within 180 days after the date of termination (or such different period as the Committee shall prescribe).

(h) DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT OF GRANTEE. If a Grantee 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 Grantee’s employment, director or consultant relationship (or within such different period as the Committee may have provided pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Plan), or if the Grantee’s employment, director or consultant relationship shall terminate by reason of Disability, all Options theretofore granted to such Grantee (to the extent otherwise exercisable) may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Grantee or by the Grantee’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 Grantee, at any time within 180 days after the death or Disability of the Grantee (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 Grantee, 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 Grantee shall terminate on account of such Grantee’s Retirement, all Options of such Grantee 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).

(i) OTHER PROVISIONS. The Option Agreements evidencing awards under the Plan shall contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee may determine.

7. Nonqualified Stock Options.

Options granted pursuant to this Section 7 are intended to constitute Nonqualified Stock Options and shall be subject only to the general terms and conditions specified in Section 6 of the Plan.

8. Incentive Stock Options.

Options granted pursuant to this Section 8 are intended to constitute Incentive Stock Options and shall be subject to the following special terms and conditions, in addition to the general terms and conditions specified in Section 6 of the Plan:

(a) LIMITATION ON VALUE OF SHARES. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, subject to Options designated as

A-6

Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, shall be determined as of the date that the Option with respect to such shares was granted.

(b) TEN PERCENT STOCKHOLDER. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, (i) the Option Price shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, on the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option, and (ii) the exercise period shall not exceed five (5) years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option.

9. Stock Appreciation Rights.

The Committee shall have authority to grant a Stock Appreciation Right, either alone or in tandem with any Option.

Each Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Agreement between the Company and the Grantee in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions, unless otherwise specifically provided in such Agreement:

Unless otherwise approved by the Committee, no Grantee shall be permitted to exercise any Stock Appreciation Right during the period beginning two weeks prior to the end of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters and ending on the second business day following the day on which the Company releases to the public a summary of its fiscal results for such period.

(d) AMOUNT PAYABLE. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined by multiplying (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, on the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right over the exercise or other base price of the Stock Appreciation Right or, if applicable, the Option Price of the related Option, by (ii) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, as to which such Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised.

(e) TREATMENT OF RELATED OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS UPON EXERCISE. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the related Option, if any, shall be canceled to the extent of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. Upon the exercise or surrender of an option granted in connection with a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Appreciation Right shall be canceled to the extent of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, as to which the Option is exercised or surrendered.

(f) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised by a Grantee only by a written notice delivered to the Company in accordance with procedures specified by the Company from time

to time. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. A Grantee may also be required to deliver to the Company the underlying Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised and any related Option Agreement so that a notation of such exercise may be made thereon, and such Agreements shall then be returned to the Grantee.

(g) FORM OF PAYMENT. Payment of the amount determined under Section 9(d) of the Plan may be made solely in whole shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, in a number based upon their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right or, alternatively, at the sole discretion of the Committee, solely in cash, or in a combination of cash and shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, as the Committee deems advisable. If the Committee decides to make full payment in shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, and the amount payable results in a fractional share, payment for the fractional share will be made in cash.

10. Limited Stock Appreciation Rights.

The Committee shall have authority to grant a Limited Right, either alone or in tandem with any Option. Each Limited Right granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Agreement between the Company and the Grantee in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions, unless otherwise specifically provided in such Agreement:

(a) TIME OF GRANT. A Limited Right may be granted at such time or times as may be determined by the Committee.

A Limited Right shall be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent determined by the Committee, and will not be transferable except to the extent any related Option is transferable or as otherwise determined by the Committee. A Limited Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only if the Fair Market Value of a share of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, on the date of exercise exceeds the purchase price specified in the related Incentive Stock Option.

(c) AMOUNT PAYABLE. Upon the exercise of a Limited Right, the Grantee thereof shall receive in cash whichever of the following amounts is applicable:

(i) in the case of the realization of Limited Rights by reason of an acquisition of common stock described in clause (i) of the definition of “Change in Control” (Section 2(c) above), an amount equal to the Acquisition Spread as defined in Section 10(d)(ii) below; or

(iii) in the case of the realization of Limited Rights by reason of the change in composition of the Board described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Change in Control” or stockholder approval of a plan or agreement described in clause (ii) of the definition of Corporate Transaction, an amount equal to the Spread as defined in Section 10(d)(v) below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(c) (or unless otherwise approved by the Committee), in the case of a Limited Right granted in respect of an Incentive Stock Option, the Grantee may not receive an amount in excess of the maximum amount that will enable such option to continue to qualify under the Code as an Incentive Stock Option.

A-8

(e) TREATMENT OF RELATED OPTIONS AND LIMITED RIGHTS UPON EXERCISE. Upon the exercise of a Limited Right, the related Option, if any, shall cease to be exercisable to the extent of the shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, with respect to which such Limited Right is exercised but shall be considered to have been exercised to that extent for purposes of determining the number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, available for the grant of future awards pursuant to this Plan.

Each award of Restricted Stock under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Agreement between the Company and the Grantee, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions, unless otherwise specifically provided in such Agreement:

(a) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Agreement shall state the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be subject to an award.

(b) RESTRICTIONS. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as the Committee shall determine from the date on which the award is granted (the “Restricted Period”). The Committee may also impose such additional or alternative restrictions and conditions on the shares as it deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the satisfaction of performance criteria. Such performance criteria may include sales, earnings before interest and taxes, return on investment, earnings per share, any combination of the foregoing or rate of growth of any of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee. The Company may, at its option, maintain issued shares in book entry form. Certificates, if any, for shares of stock issued pursuant to Restricted Stock awards shall bear an appropriate legend referring to such restrictions, and any attempt to dispose of any such shares of stock in contravention of such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect. During the Restricted Period, any such certificates shall be held in escrow by an escrow agent appointed by the Committee. In determining the Restricted Period of an award, the Committee may provide that the foregoing restrictions shall lapse with respect to specified percentages of the awarded shares on successive anniversaries of the date of such award.

(c) FORFEITURE. Subject to such exceptions as may be determined by the Committee, if the Grantee’s Continuous Service with the Company or any Subsidiary shall terminate for any reason prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period of an award, any shares remaining subject to restrictions (after taking into account the provisions of Subsection (e) of this Section 11) shall thereupon be forfeited by the Grantee and transferred to, and retired by, the Company without cost to the Company or such Subsidiary, and such shares shall become available for subsequent grants of awards under the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

(e) ACCELERATED LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS. Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 13 of the Plan (and subject to the conditions set forth therein), all restrictions then outstanding on any shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall lapse as of the applicable date set forth in Section 13. The Committee shall have the authority (and the Agreement may so provide) to cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any or all of the shares of Restricted Stock awarded on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

A-10

11A. Deferred Stock Units.

The Committee may award Deferred Stock Units to any outside director, eligible employee or consultant of the Company or of any Subsidiary.

(a) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Agreement for Deferred Stock Units shall state the number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, to be subject to an award.

(b) RESTRICTIONS. Deferred Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, until shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, are payable with respect to an award.

Such performance criteria may include sales, earnings before interest and taxes, return on investment, earnings per share, any combination of the foregoing or rate of growth of any of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee.

(c) FORFEITURE. Subject to such exceptions as may be determined by the Committee, if the Grantee’s continuous employment or consulting relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary shall terminate for any reason prior to the Grantee becoming fully vested in the award, then the Grantee’s rights under any unvested Deferred Stock Units shall be forfeited without cost to the Company or such Subsidiary.

(d) OWNERSHIP. Until shares are delivered with respect to Deferred Stock Units, the Grantee shall not possess any incidents of ownership of such shares, including the right to receive dividends with respect to such shares and to vote such shares.

12. Effect of Certain Changes.

(a) ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. In the event of any extraordinary dividend, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, stock split, warrant or rights issuance, or combination or exchange of such shares, or other similar transactions, the Committee shall equitably adjust (i) the maximum number of Options or shares of Restricted Stock that may be awarded to a Grantee in any calendar year (as provided in Section 5 hereof), (ii) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, available for awards under the Plan, (iii) the number and/or kind of shares covered by outstanding awards and (iv) the price per share of Options or the applicable market value of Stock Appreciation Rights or Limited Rights, in each such case so as to reflect such event and preserve the value of such awards; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated.

(b) CHANGE IN CLASS B COMMON STOCK OR COMMON STOCK. In the event of a change in the Class B Common Stock or Common Stock as presently constituted that is limited to a change of all of its authorized shares of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, into the same number of shares with a different par value or without par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, within the meaning of the Plan.

13. Corporate Transaction; Change in Control; Related Entity Disposition.

(a) CORPORATE TRANSACTION. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each award which is at the time outstanding under the Plan shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and, in the case of an award of Restricted Stock, shall be released from any restrictions on transfer (except with regard to the Insider Trading Policy and such other agreements between the Grantee and the Company) and repurchase or forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction. Effective upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding awards of Options, Stock

A-11

Appreciation Rights and Limited Rights under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such awards shall not terminate if the awards are, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, assumed by the successor corporation or Parent thereof.

(b) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which is also a Corporate Transaction), each award which is at the time outstanding under the Plan automatically shall become fully vested and exercisable and, in the case of an award of Restricted Stock, shall be released from any restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Change in Control.

(c) RELATED ENTITY DISPOSITION. The Continuous Service of each Grantee (who is primarily engaged in service to a Related Entity at the time it is involved in a Related Entity Disposition) shall terminate effective upon the consummation of such Related Entity Disposition, and each outstanding award of such Grantee under the Plan shall become fully vested and exercisable and, in the case of an award of Restricted Stock, shall be released from any restrictions on transfer (except with regard to the Insider Trading Policy and such other agreements between the Grantee and the Company). The Continuous Service of a Grantee shall not be deemed to terminate (and each outstanding award of such Grantee under the Plan shall not become fully vested and exercisable and, in the case of an award of Restricted Stock, shall not be released from any restrictions on transfer) if (i) a Related Entity Disposition involves the spin-off of a Related Entity, for so long as such Grantee continues to remain in the service of such entity that constituted the Related Entity immediately prior to the consummation of such Related Entity Disposition (“SpinCo”) in any capacity of officer, employee, director or consultant or (ii) an outstanding award is assumed by the surviving corporation (whether SpinCo or otherwise) or its parent entity in connection with a Related Entity Disposition.

(d) SUBSTITUTE AWARDS. The Committee may grant awards under the Plan in substitution of stock-based incentive awards held by employees, consultants or directors of another entity who become employees, consultants or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary by reason of a merger or consolidation of such entity with the Company or any Subsidiary, or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or equity of such entity, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, and such awards shall not count against the share limitation set forth in Section 5 of the Plan.

14. Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock.

The provisions of this Section 14 shall apply only to certain grants of Restricted Stock to Non-Employee Directors, as provided below. Except as set forth in this Section 14, the other provisions of the Plan shall apply to grants of Restricted Stock to Non-Employee Directors to the extent not inconsistent with this Section. For purposes of interpreting Section 6 of the Plan and this Section 14, a Non-Employee Director’s service as a member of the Board or the board of directors of any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be employment with the Company.

(a) GENERAL. Non-Employee Directors shall receive Restricted Stock in accordance with this Section 14. Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Section 14 shall be subject to the terms of such section and shall not be subject to discretionary acceleration of vesting by the Committee. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, Non-Employee Directors shall not receive separate and additional grants hereunder for being a Non-Employee Director of (i) the Company and a Subsidiary or (ii) more than one Subsidiary.

(b) INITIAL GRANTS OF RESTRICTED STOCK. A Non-Employee Director who first becomes a Non-Employee Director shall receive a pro-rata amount (based on projected quarters of service to the following Non-Employee Director Grant Date) of a Non-Employee Director Annual Grant on his date of appointment as a Non-Employee Director. Also, a Non-Employee Director who first becomes a member of one or more committees of the Board shall receive a pro-rata amount (based on projected quarters of service to the following Non-Employee Director Grant Date) of a Non-Employee Director Annual Grant on his date of appointment to a committee (without duplication).

A-12

(c) ANNUAL GRANTS OF RESTRICTED STOCK. On each Non-Employee Director Grant Date, each Non-Employee Director shall receive a Non-Employee Director Annual Grant. Also on each Non-Employee Director Grant Date, each Non-Employee Director who serves as a member of one or more committees of the Board as of such date shall receive an additional Non-Employee Director Annual Grant (without duplication).

(d) VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted Stock granted under this Section 14 shall be fully vested on the date of grant.

15. Period During which Awards May Be Granted.

Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan from time to time within a period of ten (10) years from September 21, 2005, the date the Board initially adopted the Plan. No awards shall be effective prior to the approval of the Plan by a majority of the Company’s stockholders.

16. Transferability of Awards.

(a) Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the Grantee or his or her guardian or legal representative.

(b) Nonqualified Stock Options shall be transferable in the manner and to the extent acceptable to the Committee, as evidenced by a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee. Nonqualified Stock Options (together with any Stock Appreciation Rights or Limited Rights related thereto) shall be transferable by a Grantee as a gift to the Grantee’s “family members” (as defined in Form S-8) under such terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee; provided that the Grantee receives no consideration for the transfer. Notwithstanding the transfer by a Grantee of a Nonqualified Stock Option, the transferred Nonqualified Stock Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Nonqualified Stock Option immediately before the transfer (including, without limitation, the Insider Trading Policy) and the Grantee will continue to remain subject to the withholding tax requirements set forth in Section 17 hereof.

(c) The terms of any award granted under the Plan, including the transferability of any such award, shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Grantee.

(d) Restricted Stock shall remain subject to the Insider Trading Policy after the Restricted Period.

17. Agreement by Grantee regarding Withholding Taxes.

If the Committee shall so require, as a condition of exercise of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Limited Right, the expiration of a Restricted Period or payment of a Deferred Stock Unit (each, a “Tax Event”), each Grantee shall agree that no later than the date of the Tax Event, the Grantee will pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the Tax Event. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, a Grantee shall permit, to the extent permitted or required by law, the Company to withhold federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the Tax Event from any payment of any kind due to the Grantee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any such above-described withholding obligation may, in the discretion of the Company, be satisfied by the withholding by the Company or delivery to the Company of Class B Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable.

18. Rights as a Stockholder.

Except as provided in Section 11(d) of the Plan, a Grantee or a transferee of an award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the award until the date of the issuance of such shares to him

A-13

or her. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distribution of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12(a) of the Plan.

19. No Rights to Employment; Forfeiture of Gains.

Nothing in the Plan or in any award granted or Agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Grantee the right to continue as a director of, in the employ of, or in a consultant relationship with, the Company or any Subsidiary or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate such Grantee’s employment or consulting relationship. Awards granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change in duties or position of a Grantee as long as such Grantee continues to be employed by, or in a consultant relationship with, or a director of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Agreement for any award under the Plan may require the Grantee to pay to the Company any financial gain realized from the prior exercise, vesting or payment of the award in the event that the Grantee engages in conduct that violates any non-compete, non-solicitation or non-disclosure obligation of the Grantee under any agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, any such obligations provided in the Agreement.

20. Beneficiary.

A Grantee may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Grantee, the executor or administrator of the Grantee’s estate shall be deemed to be the Grantee’s beneficiary.

21. Authorized Share Approval; Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) AUTHORIZED SHARE APPROVAL. The Plan initially became effective when adopted by the Board on September 21, 2005 and shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of such date. The Plan was ratified by the Company’s stockholders on December 15, 2005, with 2,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock authorized for awards under the Plan.

(b) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. The Board at any time and from time to time may suspend, terminate, modify or amend the Plan; however, unless otherwise determined by the Board, an amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with any law, regulation or stock exchange requirement shall not be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders. Except as provided in Section 12(a) of the Plan, no suspension, termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any award previously granted, unless the written consent of the Grantee is obtained.

22. Governing Law.

The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

1. Grant of Restricted Stock. Pursuant to action of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, IDT Corporation (the “Company”) hereby grants you under the Plan an aggregate of shares of Restricted Stock of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Restricted Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. This grant is a matter of separate inducement and is not in lieu of salary or other compensation for your services.

2. Closing. The transfer of the Restricted Shares shall occur simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company may issue one or more certificates representing the Restricted Shares (which shall be held by the Company pursuant to paragraph 6 below until the applicable Restrictions (as defined in paragraph 3 below) have lapsed).

3. Restrictions. The Restricted Shares are being awarded to you subject to (i) the transfer and forfeiture restrictions set forth in this paragraph 3 below (the “Restrictions”), which shall lapse after the expiration of the vesting periods described in paragraph 4 below, (ii) satisfaction of the tax withholding requirements set forth in paragraph 8 below, and (iii) compliance with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.

(a) Transfer. You may not directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, voluntarily or involuntarily, alienate, attach, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise transfer any of the Restricted Shares still subject to Restrictions, except for such assignments as are allowed under Section 11(b) of the Plan, provided that, in all cases, such transferee executes a written consent to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Forfeiture. Subject to exceptions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, if your continuous employment or consulting relationship with the Company or any majority-owned subsidiary of the Company shall terminate for any reason or you cease for any reason to be a Non-Employee Director of the Company or any majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, all Restricted Shares for which the Restrictions have not lapsed at such time shall be returned to or canceled by the Company, and shall be deemed to have been forfeited by you. Upon a forfeiture of your Restricted Shares, the Company will not be obligated to pay you any consideration whatsoever for the forfeited Restricted Shares.

4. Lapse of Restrictions.

(a) The Restrictions shall lapse to the extent the Restricted Shares have become vested, as follows: Restricted Shares on ; Restricted Shares on ; and the remaining Restricted Shares on .

5. Adjustments. The terms “Restricted Shares” and “Vested Shares” shall include any shares or other securities that you receive or become entitled to receive under Section 11 of the Plan as a result of your ownership of the original Restricted Shares.

6. Custody. Any certificates representing the Restricted Shares (other than Vested Shares) shall be deposited with the Company. The Company is hereby authorized to effectuate the transfer into its name of all certificates representing the Restricted Shares that are forfeited or otherwise transferred to the Company pursuant to either paragraph 3 above or paragraph 8 below.

7. Voting and Other Rights.

(a) Upon the registration of the Restricted Shares in your name, you shall have all of the rights and status as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends or other distributions thereon. All such rights and status as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares shall terminate if the Restricted Shares are forfeited pursuant to either paragraph 3 above or paragraph 8 below.

(b) The grant of the Restricted Shares to you does not confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of the Company.

8. Withholding Taxes. The award or other transfer of the Restricted Shares, and the lapse of Restrictions on the Restricted Shares, shall be conditioned further on any applicable withholding taxes being paid by you. You hereby authorize the Company to sell, or otherwise take possession of via forfeiture by you or otherwise, such number of the Restricted Shares as the Company deems necessary to satisfy any of your withholding tax requirement.

9. Incorporation of Plan Provisions. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan and is subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan as if the same were fully set forth herein.

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 one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such termination (or such different period as the Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”) shall prescribe).

C-1

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).

13. Entire 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.
