INFORMATION STATEMENT


		IDT Corporation 520 Broad Street Newark, NJ 07102 January ·, 2005

Dear Stockholder:

This information statement is being furnished to the stockholders of IDT Corporation to provide information about our pending acquisition of additional interests in Net2Phone, Inc., a controlled subsidiary of IDT Corporation, from Liberty Media Corporation, and the adoption by Mr. Howard S. Jonas, our Chairman of the Board and holder of approximately 57.9% of the voting power of our capital stock, of a written consent approving of the acquisition and the issuance of shares of our Class B common stock in connection therewith.

On December 15, 2004, we entered into an agreement with certain subsidiaries of Liberty Media pursuant to which we will acquire Liberty Media’s direct and indirect interests in Net2Phone in exchange for 3,754,479 shares of our Class B common stock.

Liberty Media’s interests in Net2Phone consist of 1.25 million shares of common stock of Net2Phone held by Liberty N2P III, Inc. and membership interests in NTOP Holdings, LLC held by Liberty N2P, Inc. and Liberty N2P II, Inc. NTOP Holdings is a consortium we created in October 2001 with Liberty Media and AT&T Corp. to hold approximately 28.9 million shares of Class A common stock of Net2Phone. AT&T sold its interests in NTOP Holdings to Liberty Media and us in October 2002.

As of December 3, 2004, NTOP Holdings’ interest in Net2Phone represented approximately 37.9% of Net2Phone’s outstanding capital stock and 54.9% of the aggregate voting power in Net2Phone. Upon consummation of the transaction described in this information statement, we will own all of the interests in NTOP Holdings and the 1.25 million shares of common stock of Net2Phone held by a subsidiary of Liberty Media, increasing our effective equity interest in Net2Phone to approximately 41.5%, and we will hold approximately 57.6% of the aggregate voting power of Net2Phone.

Net2Phone is a leading provider of Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, communication services. Net2Phone delivers telephony solutions to businesses and consumers in over 200 countries, capitalizing on the growth, quality, flexibility and cost advantages of VoIP technologies. Net2Phone offers cable operators a fully outsourced telephony platform to deliver high-quality residential phone services to their subscribers, enabling them to compete with traditional phone companies. Net2Phone’s common stock is publicly traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “NTOP.”

In accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, before we can issue the shares of our Class B common stock to affiliates of Liberty Media in connection with the acquisition, we must obtain the approval of our stockholders. On December 15, 2004, Mr. Howard S. Jonas, our Chairman of the Board, delivered to us a written consent representing approximately 57.9% of the voting power eligible to vote on this matter, approving the mergers and the issuance of shares of our Class B common stock as consideration therefor.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY.

This information statement is being mailed on or about January ·, 2005, to the holders of record of our Class A common stock, common stock and Class B common stock on January 3, 2005, the record date set by our board of directors for determining the stockholders eligible to receive this information statement.

As of the record date, there were issued and outstanding: 9,816,988 shares of Class A common stock (each with three votes per share), 18,845,933 shares of common stock (each with one vote per share) and 68,163,626 shares of Class B common stock (each with one-tenth of one vote per share).

We expect the mergers to become effective on or after February ·, 2005, which is twenty calendar days following the date on which this information statement was first sent to stockholders.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Joyce J. Mason

Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

The Effects of the Acquisition (Page 6)

As a result of the acquisition, we will acquire an additional 1,250,000 shares of common stock of Net2Phone and we will own all of the membership interests in NTOP Holdings, LLC.

As a result of the acquisition, we will increase our effective equity interest in Net2Phone to approximately 41.5%, from approximately 18.2% as of December 15, 2004, and we will hold approximately 57.6% of the aggregate voting power of Net2Phone.

Currently, we control Net2Phone through our control of NTOP Holdings. Accordingly, there will be no change of control of Net2Phone.

Liberty Media will increase its equity ownership interest in IDT, which as of December 15, 2004 consisted of 13,483,089 shares of our Class B common stock, to 17,237,568 shares of our Class B common stock.

As a result of the issuance of our shares of Class B common stock in the acquisition, all stockholders, other than Liberty Media and its affiliates, will have a proportionally smaller percentage of the total ownership and voting power in our company.

Determination of the Consideration (Page 8)

The number of shares of our Class B common stock to be issued in the transaction was determined by reference to the closing prices of our Class B common stock and Net2Phone common stock on July 29, 2004, the date on which we entered into preliminary negotiations with Liberty Media regarding this transaction.

Reasons for the Acquisition (Page 7)

Management believes that the acquisition of these additional interests in Net2Phone will provide us and our stockholders with several advantages, including:

•

continued control of Net2Phone,

•

acquisition of additional interests in Net2Phone at, what we believe to be, an attractive price, and

•

continued consolidation of Net2Phone’s financial results and balance sheet with our own.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (Page 10)

The mergers are structured as tax-free reorganizations within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Antitrust Matters (Page 9)

The completion of the transaction was subject to expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (which we refer to in this information statement as the HSR Act), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The waiting period was terminated on December 24, 2004.

Conditions to Closing (Page 10)

The consummation of the mergers depends of the satisfaction or waiver of a number of customary conditions to closing described in greater detail below.

Termination of the Agreement (Page 10)

The acquisition agreement may be terminated and the mergers may be abandoned:

•

by mutual written agreement of us and LMC Animal Planet, or

•

by either of us if the transaction is not consummated by February 28, 2005, or

•

if any governmental entity issues any nonappealable final order prohibiting the mergers.

Financial Information (Page 10)

Our selected financial data and other financial information is incorporated herein by reference to our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We currently consolidate Net2Phone’s results of operations and balance sheet with our own because we control Net2Phone. Accordingly, the transaction will not have a material effect on our reported financial results and would not result in any change in our income (loss) from continuing operations or cash dividends (which we have never declared or paid).

Appraisal Rights (Page 9)

Holders of our common stock and Class B common stock do not have appraisal rights in connection with the acquisition and the issuance of shares of our Class B common stock in connection therewith.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements contained in this information statement are “forward-looking” statements, such as statements relating to future events and financial performance and proposed plans for Net2Phone. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “will,” “may,” “should,” “continue,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Among the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the statements are the following: our ability to manage Net2Phone, our ability to continue to identify strategic opportunities and operational synergies with Net2Phone, our ability to reduce operating expenses by eliminating redundancies at IDT and Net2Phone, and the other factors discussed from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC, including, without limitation, our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

Our History with Net2Phone

Net2Phone began as a separate division of IDT, and in 1996 became a separately incorporated entity. In August 1999, Net2Phone completed its initial public offering of 6.2 million shares of its common stock, and in December 1999, Net2Phone completed another offering of 3.4 million shares of its common stock.

In August 2000, we completed the sale of 14.9 million shares of Net2Phone common stock to AT&T for approximately $1.1 billion.

NTOP Holdings was formed on October 23, 2001 and we and AT&T contributed our interests in Net2Phone to NTOP Holdings. Then, Liberty Media acquired a substantial portion of AT&T’s interests in NTOP Holdings from AT&T. As a result of the contributions by us and AT&T, NTOP Holdings beneficially owns 28,896,751 shares of Class A common stock of Net2Phone, representing, as noted above, approximately 54.9% of the aggregate voting power of Net2Phone (based on Net2Phone’s outstanding shares as reported in its most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

On October 29, 2002, AT&T exercised certain put rights and sold its remaining interests in NTOP Holdings to us and affiliates of Liberty Media. As a result, the membership interests in NTOP Holdings are split between us and Liberty Media as follows:


Holder	Class of Membership Interest
	Class A	Class A-1	Class B
IDT Domestic Union	—	87	13
IDT Investments	6	—	30
Liberty N2P	33	—	97
Liberty N2P II	23	—	—

Through the ownership of the Class A-1 membership interests, we have the right to appoint the majority of the members of the board of managers of NTOP Holdings. The board of managers directs the voting of the shares of Class A common stock of Net2Phone beneficially owned by NTOP Holdings, thereby giving us effective control over Net2Phone. Accordingly, we have consolidated the financial results of Net2Phone with our own since October 23, 2001.

Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Liability Agreement of NTOP Holdings (the “LLC agreement”), each of IDT and Liberty Media have the unilateral right at any time after January 1, 2004 to cause the dissolution of NTOP Holdings. If the unilateral right to dissolve NTOP Holdings had become effective, we could no longer consolidate Net2Phone because our control would have been be deemed to be temporary.

On December 30, 2003, we entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement with the Liberty N2P entities, which, among other things, postponed the effective date of the liquidation rights to December 1, 2004. On December 1, 2004, this effective date was postponed until December 31, 2004.

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, all the parties to the LLC agreement have agreed not to exercise their right to cause the dissolution of NTOP Holdings until the earlier of the consummation or termination of the mergers. Accordingly, we will continue to consolidate Net2Phone’s results of operations and balance sheet with our own through such time. Once the mergers are consummated, we will beneficially own a controlling interest in Net2Phone and we will consolidate Net2Phone’s results of operations and balance sheet with our own for as long as we continue to beneficially own a controlling interest in Net2Phone.

In November 2003, Net2Phone issued an additional 14 million shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering at $4.50 per share. The offering consisted of 11.5 million shares sold to the public and 2.5 million shares sold to us and Liberty Media (1.25 million shares each). In an earlier transaction with Net2Phone’s former Chief Financial Officer, we acquired 273,798 shares of Net2Phone common stock. Accordingly, we currently hold 1,523,798 shares of Net2Phone common stock in addition to our interests in NTOP Holdings.

The Acquisition

We are proposing to acquire, through a series of mergers, all of Liberty Media’s interests in Net2Phone and NTOP Holdings in exchange for an aggregate of 3,754,479 shares of our Class B common stock.

In connection with the mergers, we formed three new subsidiaries that are wholly owned by IDT Corporation. The subsidiaries are IDT LMC-N2P Acquisition I, Inc., IDT LMC-N2P Acquisition II, Inc. and IDT LMC-N2P Acquisition III, Inc. Each subsidiary was formed solely for the purpose of being merged with and into one of the three Liberty Media entities, and none of these entities own any assets or conduct any operations.

The Liberty Media entities are Liberty N2P, Inc., Liberty N2P II, Inc. and Liberty N2P III, Inc. Each of Liberty N2P, Inc. and Liberty N2P II, Inc. hold membership interests in NTOP Holdings and Liberty N2P III, Inc. holds 1.25 million shares of common stock of Net2Phone. None of the Liberty N2P entities have any assets, other than direct or indirect interests in Net2Phone, or liabilities, nor do they conduct any other operations.

The acquisition of Liberty Media’s interests in Net2Phone, the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and the issuance of our shares of Class B common stock in consideration therefor were approved by our board of directors on December 15, 2004. At that time, Mr. Howard S. Jonas, our Chairman of the Board and holder of approximately 57.9% of the aggregate voting power of our capital stock, delivered a written consent of the majority stockholder approving the acquisition, the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and the issuance of our shares of Class B stock as consideration for the acquisition.

Effects of the Acquisition

As a result of the acquisition, we will acquire an additional 1,250,000 shares of common stock of Net2Phone and we will own all of the membership interests in NTOP Holdings.

As a result of the acquisition, we will increase our effective equity interest in Net2Phone to approximately 41.5% from 18.2% as of December 15, 2004. Upon consummation of the acquisition, we will hold approximately

57.6% of the aggregate voting power of Net2Phone, based on the shares outstanding as reported in Net2Phone’s most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These numbers do not take into account the additional 6,900,000 shares of Class A common stock of Net2Phone that will be issuable to us when we enter into a definitive telecommunication services agreement with Net2Phone pursuant to a memorandum of understanding we entered into in October 2003.

Currently, Liberty Media holds 13,483,089 shares of our Class B common stock, representing (based on our shares outstanding as of December 3, 2004) 19.1% of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, 14.0% of our total shares outstanding and 2.5% of the aggregate voting power of our capital stock. As a result of the acquisition, Liberty Media will increase its holdings in IDT to 17,237,568 shares of our Class B common stock, representing (based on our shares outstanding as of December 3, 2004) 24.1% of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, 17.2% of our total shares outstanding and 3.1 % of the aggregate voting power of our capital stock.

As a result of the issuance of our shares of Class B common stock in the acquisition, all other stockholders, however, will have a proportionally smaller percentage of the total ownership and voting power in IDT.

Following the acquisition, we do not intend to make any changes in the management and operations of Net2Phone. As the controlling stockholder, however, we will continue, as we have done in the past, to evaluate Net2Phone’s management and operations and we may seek to make changes in the future.

Reasons for the Acquisition; Factors Considered by the Board of Directors

We are acquiring these additional interests in Net2Phone because we believe that our control of Net2Phone and consolidation of its financial results and balance sheet with our own provides us with several significant advantages. When discussing this transaction, our board of directors considered several factors before approving the acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of our shares of Class B common stock as consideration for the acquisition.

•

IDT-Net2Phone Synergies. Our board of directors noted that Net2Phone is an independent public company with a majority independent board of directors. The board also noted that we work very closely with Net2Phone on several ventures, most notably providing telephony interconnect services for Net2Phone’s cable telephony operations described above. Our board concluded that this close operation between us and Net2Phone will be further enhanced with our greater and more direct economic interest in Net2Phone and this greater economic interest will better focus both us and Net2Phone in identifying additional joint ventures opportunities and synergistic marketing efforts, although no specific projects have been identified as of the date of this information statement.

•

Economic Position. Our board also noted that if we did not acquire these interests, we would have a significant minority position in Net2Phone, with no assurance that we would be able to continue to control Net2Phone. Without the continuity of control, we may not be well positioned to continue to work closely with Net2Phone on the development of its cable telephony service and other ventures.

•

Attractive Pricing. Our board noted that the transaction value for the Net2Phone stock is a reasonable price given Net2Phone’s historical stock price and prospects. The allocation of NTOP Holdings’ Net2Phone stock to us and the exchange ratio between IDT stock and Net2Phone stock is attractive because we are acquiring control of Net2Phone in exchange for IDT stock, with no cash requirement, and we are not paying a control premium for that acquisition. Because the acquisition price was determined with reference to trading prices for our and Net2Phone stock and no control premium is being paid, our board of directors also determined that no fairness opinion was necessary.

•

Cash Balances. In calculating our cash balances, we include all of Net2Phone’s cash and other assets on our balance sheet because Net2Phone is a consolidated entity. With the consummation of the

acquisition, such consolidation will continue. While we accurately and prominently disclose what portion of the cash is in fact held by Net2Phone, the benefits to us in including that additional cash on our balance sheet has proven to be important to us when negotiating with telecommunications companies who may not otherwise negotiate interconnect and other agreements with us, but for the strength of our balance sheet.

•

Risk in Controlling Net2Phone. Our board also noted that there are risks inherent in owning a controlling stake in another public company, but our board noted that we have been managing these risks since Net2Phone completed its initial public offering and both we and Net2Phone have adopted several important corporate governance practices, including the formation of special board committees to review and examine transactions between us and Net2Phone and an IDT/Net2Phone dispute resolution committee, strict adherence to applicable law and best practices and respect for the separate corporate identities of the companies and their affiliated entities, all of which allow us to manage and mitigate these risks.

•

Liberty Media’s Additional Interests in IDT. Our board also noted that Liberty Media will significantly increase its economic interest in IDT as a result of the transaction. Generally, this was viewed as a positive and beneficial development and as an endorsement by Liberty Media of our growth and success over the years and our plans for the future. The board also believed that Liberty Media’s increased interest in IDT will allow us to gain wider recognition among investors and analysts. It was also noted that Liberty Media’s voting power would only increase to 3.1% of the total voting power.

Background of the Transaction

Management began considering our options with respect to Net2Phone during June and July 2004, in light of the fact that we would no longer consolidate Net2Phone as of December 1, 2004 absent a new arrangement with Liberty Media. While evaluating our options, management noted many of the same factors considered by our board (as discussed above), and determined that it would be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to acquire a greater economic interest in Net2Phone and to take actions to ensure our continued control.

On July 29, 2004, Mr. Jonas met with Mr. John Malone, Chairman of Liberty Media, and discussed the management of Net2Phone and the then current holding structure. At that meeting, Mr. Jonas proposed to acquire Liberty Media’s direct and indirect interests in Net2Phone in exchange for shares of our Class B common stock. Mr. Jonas and Mr. Malone agreed that, if the acquisition were consummated, the interests in Net2Phone and the shares of our Class B common stock would be valued based on the trading prices as of July 29, 2004, and the various interests in NTOP Holdings would be valued on the same basis as if NTOP Holdings were liquidated as of such date, with no control premium to be paid by us in the transaction. Mr. Jonas and Mr. Malone agreed to work together to determine the most tax efficient manner for structuring the acquisition and to negotiate the definitive terms of the transaction.

During August 2004, our counsel and Liberty Media’s counsel discussed the structure of the acquisition. In September 2004, drafts of the acquisition agreement were circulated. After circulation of initial drafts of the acquisition agreement, we tabled the transaction because management’s attention was focused on completing the IDT annual report and proxy statement.

In early November, the parties respective counsel finalized a draft agreement, which draft agreement was presented separately to Mr. Jonas and Mr. Malone for approval. On November 16, 2004, Mr. Jonas and Mr. Malone held a conference call to discuss the transaction, at which time Mr. Jonas advised Mr. Malone that the transaction and the draft agreement would be presented to our board of directors for approval at the board’s annual meeting on December 15, 2004, and, subject to the approval of our board, we would enter into the agreement at such time.

As discussed above, the acquisition agreement and all the transactions contemplated thereby was approved by our board on December 15, 2004, and we executed and delivered the acquisition agreement on December 16, 2004.

Regulatory Requirements

The completion of the acquisition was subject to expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. We filed a Notification and Report Form concerning the mergers with the FTC on December 20, 2004. The waiting period was terminated by the FTC on December 24, 2004.

Appraisal Rights

Holders of our common stock and Class B common stock do not have appraisal rights in connection with the acquisition and the issuance of shares of our Class B common stock in connection therewith.

Tax Effect of the Mergers

The mergers are structured as tax-free reorganizations within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Conditions to the Consummation of the Mergers

The mergers are subject to several customary conditions to closing, including:

•

the compliance with all of the shareholder approval requirements of Section 312.03 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, pursuant to which our stockholders must approve of the issuance of the shares to affiliates of Liberty Media because Liberty Media holds more that five percent of our outstanding capital stock, which condition was satisfied by the written consent of the majority stockholder delivered by Mr. Jonas and the delivery of this information statement,

•

that we grant LMC Animal Planet registration rights with respect to the shares of our Class B common stock to be issued in the mergers pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be executed at closing;

•

the authorization by the New York Stock Exchange, subject only to the official notice of issuance, of the listing of the shares of our Class B common stock to be issued in the mergers,

•

the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, which waiting period was terminated on December 24, 2004,

•

the absence of any legal restraint or prohibition preventing the completion of the mergers,

•

the accuracy of the parties’ representations and warranties in the acquisition agreement, subject in some instances to qualifications as to materiality,

•

the performance by each party of its obligations under the acquisition agreement in all material respects, and

•

the absence of any material adverse effect (as defined in the acquisition agreement) with respect to us or our ability to consummate the mergers.

Termination of the Mergers

The acquisition agreement may be terminated and the mergers may be abandoned:

•

by mutual written agreement of us and LMC Animal Planet, or

•

by either of us if the mergers are not consummated by February 28, 2005, or

•

if any governmental entity issued any nonappealable final order prohibiting the mergers.

Indemnification

The parties have agreed to indemnify and hold each other harmless against any losses arising from the breach of representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, which indemnification obligation is capped at $60 million, subject to certain exceptions. We and LMC Animal Planet each made several representations with respect to certain tax matters, but we are not indemnifying LMC Animal Planet for any breach of such tax representations and warranties.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our financial information is incorporated herein by reference to our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K and our most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Please see “Where you can find more information” and “Incorporation of certain information by reference” below.

No financial information is being provided about the Liberty N2P entities, because these entities do not conduct any operations and have no assets or liabilities, other than the direct and indirect interests in Net2Phone held by the Liberty N2P entities.

We currently consolidate Net2Phone’s results of operations and balance sheet with our own and, management believes, that presenting pro forma financial information giving effect to the mergers would not be material. In addition, such pro forma financial information would not result in any differences in our book value per share, cash dividends (which we have never declared or paid) or income (loss) per share from continuing operations. Accordingly, no pro forma financial information is included in this information statement.

In the event this Agreement is terminated, each party will, if so requested by another party hereto, promptly return or destroy all of the Confidential Information of the requesting party, including all copies, reproductions, summaries, analyses or extracts thereof or based thereon in the possession of its Representatives; provided, however, that no party will be required to return or cause to be returned summaries, analyses or extracts prepared by it or its Representatives, but will destroy (or cause to be destroyed) the same upon request of another party hereto.

All material Taxes due and payable by any of the Seller Subsidiaries have been timely paid, or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority.

(e) Section 355 Matters. None of the Seller Subsidiaries has constituted either a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” in a distribution of stock qualifying for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code (x) in the two years prior to the date of this Agreement or (y) in a distribution which could otherwise constitute part of a “plan” or “series of related transactions” (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) in conjunction with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.03 Covenants.

(a) All Returns required to be filed by LMC Animal Planet or any of its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date with respect to each of the Seller Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (i) will be filed when due in accordance with all Applicable Laws and (ii) will be true and complete in all material respects.

(b) LMC Animal Planet shall cause Liberty Parent to include each of the Seller Subsidiaries in its consolidated Federal Tax Return and in any Combined Tax Return through the close of business on the Closing Date.

(c) Neither LMC Animal Planet nor any of its Affiliates will take any position on any federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise Return, or take any other Tax reporting position that is inconsistent with the treatment of each of the Mergers as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.

Section 7.04 Tax Sharing. Any and all existing Tax Sharing Agreements (other than this Agreement) shall be terminated with respect to each of the Seller Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date, none of the Seller Subsidiaries shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Section 7.05 Cooperation On Tax Matters.

(a) IDT Parent and LMC Animal Planet shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Return, and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. IDT Parent and LMC Animal Planet agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to each of the Seller Subsidiaries relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, IDT Parent or LMC Animal Planet, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(b) IDT Parent and LMC Animal Planet further agree, upon request, to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including but not limited to with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

Section 7.06 Tax Indemnification.

(a) LMC Animal Planet hereby indemnifies IDT Parent and its Affiliates (each a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) against and agrees to hold each Purchaser Indemnitee harmless from any (w) Tax of any of the Seller Subsidiaries described in clause (i) of the definition of Tax related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (x) Tax described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Tax, (y) Tax of any of the Seller Subsidiaries resulting from a breach of the provisions of Section 7.02, Section 7.03 or Section 7.04 and (z) liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses, damages, assessments, settlements or judgments arising out of or incident to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any Tax described in clause (w), (x) or (y) above, (the sum of clauses (w), (x), (y) and (z) being referred to herein as a “Purchaser Loss”); provided, however, that LMC Animal Planet shall not have any indemnity obligation under this Section 7.06(a) in the event such Purchaser Loss results from a breach by IDT Parent or any of its Affiliates of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.08(a) or the covenants contained in Section 7.08(b).

(b) For purposes of this Section 7.06, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sales or use Taxes and Taxes based upon or related to income, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income and any gross receipts, sales or use Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocation set forth in the foregoing clause (y) shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of LMC Animal Planet.

(c) Not later than 5 days after receipt by LMC Animal Planet of written notice from Purchaser Indemnitee stating that any Purchaser Loss has been incurred by a Purchaser Indemnitee and the amount thereof and of the indemnity payment requested, LMC Animal Planet shall discharge its obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitee against such Purchaser Loss by paying to Purchaser Indemnitee an amount equal to the amount of such Purchaser Loss. The payment by a Purchaser Indemnitee of any Purchaser Loss shall not relieve LMC Animal Planet of its obligations under this Section 7.06.

(d) Purchaser Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to LMC Animal Planet of any Purchaser Loss or the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 7.06 which Purchaser Indemnitee deems to be within the ambit of this Section 7.06 (specifying with reasonable particularity the basis therefor) and will give LMC Animal Planet such information with respect thereto as LMC Animal Planet may reasonably request. LMC Animal Planet may, at its own expense, participate in and upon notice to Purchaser Indemnitee, assume the defense of any such suit, action or proceeding (including any Tax audit) in so far as it relates to the Purchaser Loss; provided that (x) counsel for LMC Animal Planet is reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser Indemnitee, (y) LMC Animal Planet shall thereafter consult with Purchaser Indemnitee upon Purchaser Indemnitee’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such suit, action or proceeding (including any Tax audit) and (z) LMC Animal Planet shall not, without Purchaser Indemnitee’s consent, agree to any settlement with respect to any Purchaser Loss if such settlement could adversely affect the Tax liability of Purchaser Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates. If LMC Animal Planet assumes such defense, (i) Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by LMC Animal Planet and (ii) LMC Animal Planet shall not assert that the Purchaser Loss, or any portion thereof, with respect to which Purchaser Indemnitee seeks indemnification is not within the ambit of this Section 7.06. If LMC Animal Planet elects not to assume such defense, Purchaser Indemnitee may pay, compromise or contest the Purchaser Loss at issue. LMC Animal Planet shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by Purchaser Indemnitee for any period during which LMC Animal Planet has not assumed the defense thereof. Whether or not LMC Animal Planet chooses to defend or prosecute any claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(e) LMC Animal Planet shall not be liable under this Section 7.06 with respect to any Purchaser Loss resulting from a claim or demand the defense of which LMC Animal Planet was not offered the opportunity to assume as provided under Section 7.06(d) to the extent LMC Animal Planet’s liability under this Section 7.06 is materially adversely affected as a result thereof. No investigation by IDT Parent or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Closing Date shall relieve LMC Animal Planet of any liability hereunder.

(f) Any claim of any Purchaser Indemnitee under this Section 7.06 may be made and enforced by IDT Parent on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnitee.

Section 7.07 Purchase Price Adjustment. Any amount paid by LMC Animal Planet or IDT Parent under this Article 7 or 9 will be treated as an adjustment to the consideration delivered in the Mergers unless a Final Determination or change in Applicable Law (including a revenue ruling or other similar pronouncement) causes any such amount not to constitute an adjustment to the consideration delivered in the Mergers for any applicable Tax purposes.

Section 7.08 IDT Parent Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(v) As part of the same plan as the Mergers, IDT Parent or a member of IDT Parent’s qualified group of corporations (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d)(4)(ii)) will continue each of the Seller Subsidiaries’ “historic business” or use a “significant portion” of each of the Seller Subsidiaries’ “historic business assets” in a business, as such terms are defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d)(2) and (3).

(vi) IDT Parent and its Affiliates have no plan or intention to cause any of the Surviving Entities to: (A) liquidate; (B) merge with or into another corporation or entity; or (C) sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of its assets, except for transfers of assets described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(k).

(ii) Neither IDT Parent nor any of its Affiliates will take any position on any federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise Return, or take any other Tax reporting position that is inconsistent with the treatment of each of the Mergers as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.

(iii) Neither IDT Parent nor any of its Affiliates will take or cause to be taken any action as part of the same plan as the Mergers that would reasonably be expected to cause any of the Mergers to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(iv) Neither IDT Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Entities) shall effect or engage in any transactions or other actions (other than the actions contemplated by this Agreement) relating to any Surviving Entity out of the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date.

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, IDT Parent and the IDT Subsidiaries shall not be liable for any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 9.01 in the aggregate in excess of $60 million; provided, however, that there shall be no limitation on indemnification amounts payable by IDT Parent or any IDT Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 9.01 for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.02 (c), (d) and (f).

Section 9.02 Indemnification by LMC Animal Planet.

The failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify an Indemnifying Person of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Person from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Person, except to the extent such Indemnifying Person shall have been materially prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Person so to notify it, pursuant to this Section 9.03. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Person and it shall notify the Indemnifying Persons of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Persons shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, to the extent that the Indemnifying Persons may wish to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and after notice to such Indemnified Person of their election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Persons will not be liable to such Indemnified Person under this Article 9 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) if the Indemnifying Persons shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or action or (ii) if the Indemnified Person reasonably determines (x) that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnifying Persons and of the Indemnified Person in defending such claim or action or (y) that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Persons, then separate counsel for the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, in the case of (i) and (ii)(x), or such different defenses, in the case of (ii)(y), and the Indemnifying Persons shall be liable for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

Section 9.04 Exclusivity of Remedy. The indemnification provisions set forth in Articles 7 and 9 are the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of any and all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any party may have for breach of any and all covenants and

agreements contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither LMC Animal Planet or any Seller Subsidiary, on the one hand, nor IDT Parent or any IDT Subsidiary, on the other hand, shall be liable to the other for any indirect, punitive, special, consequential or incidental damages under any provision of this Agreement or for any indirect, punitive, special, consequential or incidental damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder, even if such party has been advised of or has foreseen the possibility of such damages.

Section 9.05 Certain Limitations. The indemnification obligations of the parties hereto with respect to claims asserted for any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Article 4 or 5 prior to expiration of the survival period applicable to such representation or warranty shall survive until such claims are finally adjudicated or otherwise resolved.

All such shares of IDT Parent Class B Common Stock so delivered pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall be duly authorized, fully paid, and non-assessable, shall be issued in compliance with all Applicable Law and not be subject to any Liens and shall be treated as Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) for all purposes under the Registration Rights Agreement.
