                    LOCK-UP AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT


LOCK-UP AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as
of March 20, 2001, by and between IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and AT&T Corp., a New York corporation (the "Investor").

WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor have entered into an Option
Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2000; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Closing (as defined below) of the
Option Agreement that the Company grant Investor the registration rights set
forth herein, and it is a condition to the Company's execution of the Option
Agreement that the Investor agree to the restrictions on transfer set forth
herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement:

(a) The term "Affiliate" means, with respect to any
person or entity, any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the first such person or entity.

(b) The terms "Closing" and "Closing Date" mean the date
of the Closing, as such term is defined in the Option Agreement.

(c) The term "Holder" means a holder of Registrable
Securities or, unless the context otherwise requires, securities convertible
into or exercisable for Registrable Securities.

(d) The terms "register," "registered" and "registration"
refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration
statement in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement.

(e) The term "Registrable Securities" means the shares of
Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Class B
Common Stock") issued to the Investor pursuant to the Option Agreement (the
"Securities"); provided, however, that such Securities shall cease to be
Registrable Securities when and to the extent that (i) such Securities have been
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) such
Securities have become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Act
(or any similar provision then in force) or another provision of Rule 144 of the
Act pursuant to which all of the Investor's Securities are immediately eligible

Section 2. Registration Rights.

2.1. (a) Registration Upon Demand. At any time on or after the
first anniversary of the Closing Date, one or more holders that in the aggregate
beneficially own at least 20% of the Registrable Securities may make a demand
that the Company effect the registration of all or part of such Holders'
Registrable Securities (an "S-3 Demand Registration"). Upon receipt of a valid
request for an S-3 Demand Registration, the Company shall promptly, in and any
event no later than 15 days after such receipt, notify all other Holders of the
making of such demand and shall use its reasonable efforts to register under the
Act as expeditiously as may be practicable the Registrable Securities which
Holders have requested the Company to register in accordance with this Section
2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect
any registration if the number of Registrable Securities that the Company shall
have been requested to register shall, in the aggregate, be less than 10% of the
number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchased by the Investor on the
Closing Date. The Holders shall have the right to two (2) S-3 Demand
Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1(a).

(b) Effective Registration Statement. A registration
requested pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof shall not be deemed to have been
effected (i) if a registration statement with respect thereto has not been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), (ii) if
after it has become effective and prior to the date ninety (90) days after the
effective date, such registration is materially interfered with by any stop
order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the SEC or other
governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to any of the
Holders and has not thereafter become effective for not less than ninety (90)
additional consecutive days, or (iii) the conditions to closing specified in the
underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such
registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on
the part of a Holder

2.2. "Piggy-Back" Registration. (a) At any time after the first
anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the fifth anniversary of the
Closing Date, if the Company proposes to register any securities under the Act
in connection with any offering of its securities (other than a registration
statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or their successors, or any other form for a
similar limited purpose, or any registration statement covering only securities
proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another
corporation), whether or not for its own account, the Company shall furnish
promptly, and in any event not less than 10 days in advance, written notice to
the Holders of its intention to effect such registration and the intended method
of distribution in connection there with. Upon the written request of a Holder
made to the Company within 15 days after the receipt of such notice by the
Company, the Company shall include in such registration the requested number of
the Holder's Registrable Securities (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). If a Holder
decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration
statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Holder shall nevertheless
continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any
subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by
the Company with respect to offerings of its Common Stock and any other
securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall create any
liability on the part of the Company or any other person to the Holders if the
Company, for any reason, decides not to file a

registration statement proposed to be filed pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or to
withdraw such registration statement subsequent to its filing, regardless of any

action whatsoever that a Holder may have taken, whether as a result of the
issuance by the Company of any notice under Section 2.2(a) or otherwise.

2.3. Blackout Periods for Holders. If the board of directors of the
