 (c) IDT agrees to pay EMPLOYEE One Million Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand Seven
Hundred Six Dollars and One Cent ($1,999,706.01) (the “Severance Pay”), to be paid in accordance with the payment schedule outlined in Exhibit A (the “Severance Pay Period”), the completion of such
schedule subject to IDT’s receipt from EMPLOYEE of an affirmation of the general release contained in Section 9 in the form of Exhibit B hereto, as indicated on Exhibit A. The first payment will be paid immediately upon the
expiration of the Revocation Period (as hereafter defined). 
 1.2. EMPLOYEE shall receive reimbursement by IDT for all
reasonable and approved business expenses incurred prior to the Termination Date in accordance with IDT’s policies. 
 1.3. All payments hereunder shall be less required withholdings for taxes and benefit plan contributions (if any).

Benefits. 
 2.1. As of the Termination Date, EMPLOYEE shall be eligible to elect the continuance of group health and
dental insurance (if EMPLOYEE is currently enrolled in the IDT sponsored plan), in accordance with federal COBRA law. 
 2.2.
If EMPLOYEE so elects, and so long as EMPLOYEE is entitled to COBRA coverage, during the Severance Pay Period, EMPLOYEE’s premiums for group health and dental insurance under COBRA shall be the same amount that an active employee contributes
for such benefit coverage. If EMPLOYEE wishes to elect COBRA (continue coverage in the then current group medical and/or dental plan after June 30, 2008), EMPLOYEE must complete and sign the COBRA Election Form and return it to Human
Resources in accordance with COBRA. After the Severance Pay Period, EMPLOYEE’s premiums for COBRA coverage will be the published rate of group health insurance under COBRA. 
 2.3. After the Termination Date, EMPLOYEE will not continue to accrue vacation benefits or commissions, or otherwise be eligible for Life
or Disability benefits, or continue to contribute to the IDT Savings Plan or 401(k) Plan, or participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and will not receive any other benefits from IDT, other than those specified in this Agreement.
EMPLOYEE’s rights with respect to any options to purchase IDT stock or IDT stock he may have received from IDT are governed by the applicable award agreements and plan documents. 
 3. Payment of all Outstanding Compensation. Except for those obligations specifically set forth in this Agreement, as of the Termination Date, any
and all agreements or arrangements, either oral or written, between the Parties related to commissions, bonuses, ownership or other interests in any entities or assets, payments

and/or compensation of any kind, including but not limited to any documents, correspondence, oral promises and any other arrangements related to the proposal
known as the Jonah Value Creation Project, (“Compensation”) are deemed null and void without any continuing obligation or liability of any party thereunder; it being understood that, among other things, from and after the
Termination Date, except as expressly provided hereunder, IDT will have no obligation to pay EMPLOYEE any Compensation or have any duties, responsibilities or other obligations to EMPLOYEE with respect to any agreement or arrangement and EMPLOYEE
will have no rights thereunder. EMPLOYEE acknowledges and agrees that he is due no other compensation, commission payments, benefits or other consideration of any kind other than as specifically identified in this Agreement. 
 4. Equipment. Unless otherwise expressly provided in Exhibit C, EMPLOYEE will return any and all IDT property and equipment in his possession,
including, but not limited to, any and all IDT identification cards, card key passes, keys, pagers, computers (office desktop), cellular telephones or similar personal digital assistant devices, corporate credit cards, corporate calling cards, and
any other property or equipment in his possession that IDT may not know of, on or before the Termination Date. 
 5. Termination of
Employment; Resignation. EMPLOYEE acknowledges and agrees that his employment by IDT will terminate on the Termination Date, and that he will be deemed to have resigned from all officer positions and directorships that he may hold with IDT (or
otherwise at the request of IDT) upon execution of this Agreement, other than his position as General Counsel of IDT Telecom from which he shall resign at the end of the Transition Period (or upon the earlier request of the CEO of IDT Telecom).
Contemporaneously herewith, EMPLOYEE shall execute and deliver a resignation letter from such officer positions and directorships in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. EMPLOYEE acknowledges and agrees that he is due no other compensation,

requests for advice, cooperation and/or assistance made by IDT, at no charge other than as set forth in Section 1.1(a) with respect to the Transition Period, in connection with matters he worked on while employed by IDT, including, without
limitation, to assist in the orderly transition of his duties and responsibilities and any outstanding projects to the individual (or individuals) designated by IDT. Failure by EMPLOYEE to provide reasonable cooperation will constitute a material
breach of this Agreement. 
 7.2. In furtherance of the foregoing, EMPLOYEE agrees to reasonably cooperate with all reasonable
requests which IDT may make, including but not limited to, requests for information, interviews, depositions (to be conducted at a

in exchange for his execution of this Agreement and the general release. EMPLOYEE acknowledges that he is not otherwise entitled to receive such payments, absent his execution of this Agreement, and that no other promise or agreements of any kind

 9.6. IDT represents and warrants to EMPLOYEE that, as of the date hereof, it knows of
no claim against EMPLOYEE related to or arising from EMPLOYEE’s employment by, or provision of services to, IDT. 
 10. No Admission
of Liability. The making of this Agreement and anything contained herein is not intended, and shall not be construed, as an admission that IDT has violated any foreign, federal, state or local law (statutory or common law), ordinance or
regulation; breached any contract; or violated any right or obligation that it may owe or may have owed to EMPLOYEE, or committed any wrong whatsoever against EMPLOYEE. EMPLOYEE further acknowledges, covenants, and agrees that no final findings or
final judgments have been made by any court or arbitration panel against IDT in favor of EMPLOYEE, and that EMPLOYEE does not purport and will not claim to be a prevailing party, for any purpose. 
 11. Confidentiality of Agreement. The Parties agree that the consideration furnished under this Agreement, the discussions and correspondence that
led to this Agreement, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement are confidential. EMPLOYEE represents that he, and any attorney he may have retained to review this Agreement, have not disclosed the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Except
as may be required by law or to enforce the terms hereof, neither EMPLOYEE nor his attorney may disclose the above information to any other person or entity, except that EMPLOYEE may disclose the provisions of this Agreement to his immediate family
members and financial and/or tax advisor, provided that EMPLOYEE makes the person to whom disclosure is made aware of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and such person agrees in writing to keep confidential the terms of this
Agreement. If subpoenaed to appear in any civil or criminal litigation, or by any governmental authority, to testify as to the contents of this Agreement, EMPLOYEE agrees to immediately forward a copy of the subpoena to the Chief Legal Officer of
IDT so that IDT may contest such subpoena, or any request, requirement or order related thereto, and to notify the proponent of the subpoena that this Agreement is the subject of an agreement of confidentiality. IDT may disclose the terms and
conditions of this Agreement to its respective officers, directors, employees, accountants and counsel who have a business need to know, and as otherwise required by law. EMPLOYEE further agrees that he will not encourage others who are not parties
to this Agreement to demand any disclosure of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 12. Intellectual Property and Non-Disclosure
Obligations. 
 12.1. EMPLOYEE agrees that he will not file, without the express written consent of the Chief Executive

in perfecting, registering, maintaining, and enforcing, in any jurisdiction, IDT’s rights (including such rights as may be assigned by IDT from time to time) in the IDT Inventions by performing promptly all acts and executing all documents
deemed necessary or convenient by IDT and does hereby irrevocably designate and appoint IDT and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agent and attorney-in-fact to do all lawfully permitted acts (including, but not limited to, the
execution, verification and filing of applicable documents) with the same legal force and effect as if performed by him. 
 12.2. EMPLOYEE agrees that he will not, without the express written consent of the Chairman, CEO or CLO of IDT Corporation, use the Confidential Information (as hereafter defined). As referred to in this Agreement, “Confidential
Information” shall mean technical and business information about IDT, and its clients and customers that was learned by EMPLOYEE in the course of his employment by IDT and that is not already in the public domain through no fault of
EMPLOYEE including, without limitation, any and all proprietary IDT Inventions, any trade secrets, customer and potential customer names, product plans and designs, licenses and other agreements, marketing and business plans, and other financial and
business information of IDT. EMPLOYEE will not duplicate or replicate (or cause or permit others to duplicate or replicate) any document or other material in any medium embodying any Confidential Information. EMPLOYEE will not disclose or permit the
disclosure of any Confidential Information to any person or entity under any circumstances, unless EMPLOYEE is required to disclose such information by law or pursuant to a judicial order, and in such case, provide IDT with prior written notice, to
the extent practicable, although failure to provide such timely notice (if not practicable) shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. All of the Confidential Information shall remain the sole and exclusive property of IDT. IDT owns all right,
title and interest in and to the Confidential Information and other intellectual property owned by IDT, including, without limitation, the IDT Inventions. EMPLOYEE agrees that he acquired no right, title or interest in any Confidential Information
or the IDT Inventions; and the Confidential Information is specialized, unique in nature, and of great value to IDT and that such Confidential Information gives IDT a competitive advantage. EMPLOYEE hereby agrees to promptly return to IDT all
tangible materials and all copies thereof, in whatever media, in his possession or control, containing or employing any Confidential Information or the IDT Inventions, together with a written certification with the foregoing. 
 12.3. EMPLOYEE acknowledges and agrees that all copyrights, trademarks, patents and IDT Inventions conceived, created, authored, developed
or reduced to practice by EMPLOYEE during his employment with IDT are the sole and exclusive property of IDT; all copyrightable works included in the IDT Inventions shall be “works made for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act of
1976, as amended (17 U.S.C. §101), and IDT Corporation is the “author” within the meaning of such Act; and in the event that title to any or all of the IDT

Inventions does not or may not, by operation of law, vest in IDT, EMPLOYEE hereby assigns to IDT all his right, title and interest in all IDT Inventions, and

Confidential Information gives IDT a competitive advantage; and

tangible materials and all copies thereof, in whatever media, in his possession or control, containing or employing any Confidential Information, together with a written certification with the foregoing. 
 13. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. 
 13.1. EMPLOYEE acknowledges and agrees that, during the two-year period following the Termination Date and without the prior consent of Chairman or CEO of IDT: 
 (a) EMPLOYEE shall not, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director
or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or participate, invest in (except for investments of less than 5% of a business entity’s capitalization) or become employed by any business that is in competition in any manner
whatsoever with the business of IDT as of the Termination Date; it being expressly acknowledged that the providing of legal counsel and services, subject to applicable ethical rules and principles and Section 13.3 below, shall not be restricted
by this Section 13.1(a); 
 (b) EMPLOYEE shall not, directly or indirectly, influence or attempt to influence, or assist
or advise any person attempting to influence, customers, distributors, partners or suppliers of IDT (i) to divert any part of their business away from IDT, (ii) to cause damage to the business of IDT, or (iii) to do any material
business with any competitor of IDT; and 
 (c) EMPLOYEE shall not, directly or indirectly, except for general solicitations
not directed at IDT specifically, solicit or recruit any employee, officer, partner or consultant of IDT to leave the employment of IDT or terminate his/her relationship with IDT and EMPLOYEE shall not advise or otherwise assist any other person to
solicit or recruit any employee, officer, partner or consultant of IDT.

 13.2. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 13 replace
all prior non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in any agreements between EMPLOYEE and IDT notwithstanding any survival clauses contained therein. The Parties further agree that the provisions of this Section 13 shall be
interpreted as broadly as possible in favor of IDT. 
 13.3. EMPLOYEE agrees that he will comply with all his ethical and
legal obligations as an attorney. During the two-year period following the Termination Date, EMPLOYEE further agrees not to undertake any legal representation that will require him to be in an adversarial legal posture with IDT. 
 14. Non-Disparagement. Each Party agrees that such Party will not at any time, in any way, disparage the other Party, (including, with respect to
IDT, any individuals associated with IDT, including its present or former officers, directors, agents and employees) by making or soliciting any comments, statements or the like to the media or to others, either orally or in writing, that may be
considered to be derogatory or detrimental, in any way, to the good name or business reputation of the other Party. Each Party further agrees that he will not engage in any conduct that is in any way injurious, or may be perceived to be injurious,
to the other Party’s reputation or interest (other than normal competitive process not in violation of this Agreement), including, but not limited to, encouraging or assisting others to bring any form of suit, claim or cause of action against
such other Party. 
 15. Breach. EMPLOYEE agrees and acknowledges that if he breaches any representation, covenant, promise or
undertaking made pursuant to this Agreement, IDT is authorized to pursue all rights and remedies available in law or in equity, which rights and remedies may include, but are not limited to, EMPLOYEE’s obligation to promptly return to IDT all
amounts paid by IDT to EMPLOYEE under Section 1.1(c) of this Agreement. 
 16. Agreement Not Admissible. The Parties agree that
this Agreement may be used and admitted as evidence only in a subsequent proceeding in which IDT or EMPLOYEE seeks to enforce its/his rights hereunder.

acknowledges and agrees that IDT has advised that all payments to him must comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
(“409A”) and EMPLOYEE agrees to indemnify and hold harmless IDT from and against any and all taxes, costs and expenses as a result of any non-compliance with 409A. 
 18. Consideration and Revocation Periods. Pursuant to the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, EMPLOYEE is advised that he shall have at least 21
days to consider this Agreement before signing it, but may sign this Agreement at any earlier time if he so desires. If EMPLOYEE signs this Agreement, he shall have 7 calendar days thereafter (the “Revocation Period”) to
revoke this Agreement by indicating his desire to do so, in writing, addressed to IDT Corporation—Legal Department, 520 Broad Street, 4th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102 (attention: General Counsel). In order for such revocation to be

event EMPLOYEE does not accept this Agreement, or in the event EMPLOYEE revokes this Agreement during the Revocation Period, this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the obligation of IDT to make the payments set forth in Section 1, shall
automatically be deemed null and void, and EMPLOYEE shall promptly return to IDT any amounts paid by IDT to EMPLOYEE under this Agreement. 
 19. Severability. If, at any time after the date EMPLOYEE executes this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect, provided that, in
the event that any provision of Section 13 is held invalid or unenforceable or is deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time,
geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws, and such other changes shall be made to give effect to the original intent of the Parties. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision shall have no effect
upon, and shall not impair the enforceability of, any other provision of this Agreement, provided that, upon a finding by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction that the release of claims contained in Section 9 is illegal,
void or unenforceable, EMPLOYEE agrees that, at the request of IDT, he will execute a release covering all the same claims as are released under Section 9 that are legal and enforceable. 
 20. Prior Agreements Superseded; No Oral Modification. This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between the Parties and supersedes
any and all prior agreements (whether oral or written) between the Parties (including, but not limited to, all agreements related to commissions and any other payments). EMPLOYEE acknowledges that neither IDT nor any representative of IDT has made
any representation or promises to EMPLOYEE other than as set forth herein. This Agreement may not be modified except in a writing signed by both EMPLOYEE and the Chairman or, CEO of IDT Corporation.
