                   The description of the Investment Agreement and Warrants throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified by reference to such Investment Agreement and Warrants, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3 and 4 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.      Purpose of Transaction

                   IDT Investments currently holds its interest in STAR for investment purposes.

                   Investment Agreement.  As described in Item 3, STAR and IDT Investments entered into the Investment Agreement pursuant to which IDT Investments purchased from STAR (i) 3,074,149 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.417 per share and (ii) 3,227,856 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.397 per share. STAR also granted IDT Investments Warrants to purchase 3,389,249 shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $0.833. The Warrants may be exercised by IDT Investments in full or in part at any time on or before February 7, 2004.

                   Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by IDT Investments from STAR, and the price per share of Common Stock paid by IDT Investments to STAR, are subject to the following adjustments.

                   a.     In the event the Post Closing Market Price (as defined below) is less than $0.397 per share, STAR shall provide to IDT for no additional consideration the number of shares necessary to cause the average price per share for 3,227,856 of the shares of Common Stock purchased on February 7, 2001 for $0.397 per share and such additional shares to be not higher than the Post Closing Market Price.

                   The “Post Closing Market Price” means the multiple of (i) 95% and (ii) the lowest reported last sale price per share (rounded down to nearest 1/100 of a cent) in the regular trading session on the principal national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, during the 30 days following February 7, 2001.

                   b.     Following the expiration and/or exercise of all or any portion of the warrants issued to Gotel Investments Ltd. in connection with the consummation of the Purchase Agreement and the related transactions between STAR and Gotel Investments Ltd. (the “Gotel Closing”), the following adjustments shall be made:

                        (i)    If the weighted average purchase price per share of Common Stock paid by Gotel Investments Ltd. to STAR in the Gotel Closing (the “Gotel Purchase Price”) is less than $0.417 per share,



Page 6 of 11




STAR shall provide to IDT for no additional consideration the number of shares necessary to cause the average price per share for 3,074,149 of the shares of Common Stock purchased on February 7, 2001 for $0.417 per share and such additional shares to be not higher than the Gotel Closing Price.

                         (ii)     If the Gotel Purchase Price is less than $0.397 per share, STAR shall provide to IDT for no additional consideration the number of shares necessary to cause the average price per share for 3,227,856 of the shares of Common Stock purchased on February 7, 2001 for $0.397 per share and such additional shares to be not higher than the Gotel Closing Price.

                   Pursuant to the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock IDT Investments is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to the following adjustments.

                   a.     If at any time or from time to time, after February 7, 2001, STAR issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares (“Additional Common Shares”) of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Gotel Closing), then the exercise price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (A) the product of (x) such exercise price multiplied by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued) immediately after such issuance of the Additional Common Shares.

                   b.     The number of shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares Number”) shall also be subject to adjustment if at any time or from time to time, after February 7, 2001, STAR shall issue or sell Additional Common Shares. In such event, the Warrant Shares Number in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall be increased, concurrently with such issue or sale, to equal the sum (rounded up to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying: (A) 5% and (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued) immediately after such issuance of the Additional Common Shares.

                   c.     In the event the Gotel Closing shall occur after the exercise of any of the Warrants, STAR shall adjust the number of Warrant Shares previously delivered to IDT Investments, as follows:

                        (i)     Immediately following the Gotel Closing, STAR shall issue and deliver to IDT Investments a share certificate representing shares of Common Stock equal to the number obtained by subtracting (x) the Warrant Shares delivered to IDT Investments from (y) the multiple of (i) the quotient of ((1) the number of Warrant Shares delivered divided by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date the Warrant Shares were delivered (on a fully diluted basis)), by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Gotel Closing (on a fully diluted basis).

                        (ii)     In the event the Gotel Purchase Price is less than the exercise price paid by IDT Investments then (in addition to any shares to be delivered pursuant to the previous clause) STAR promptly shall deliver to IDT Investments such number of shares of Common Stock as is necessary to cause the average price of all Warrant Shares (including any shares provided pursuant to the previous clause or this clause) to be not more than the Gotel Purchase Price.

                   Pursuant to the Investments Agreement, IDT Investments has agreed that until February 7, 2003, neither IDT Investments nor any of its affiliates (collectively, the “Restricted Group”) shall, directly or indirectly in any manner, acquire, offer or propose to acquire or agree to acquire (whether publicly or otherwise) Common Stock, any other capital stock of STAR or other securities of STAR entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of STAR or at any regular or special meeting of the stockholders of STAR (“Voting Stock”), or any direct or indirect rights, options or warrants of STAR to acquire any Voting Stock or any securities of STAR convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for any of the foregoing (whether or not currently convertible, exercisable or



Page 7 of 11




exchangeable) (all of the foregoing, collectively, “Voting Securities”) (including without limitation “beneficial ownership” of any such securities, within the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (“Beneficial Ownership”)), which acquisition would cause the Restricted Group Ownership Percentage (as defined below) to exceed 25.0% (other than an acquisition with the prior approval of a majority of the directors of the board of directors of STAR) (the “Standstill”). “Restricted Group Ownership Percentage” shall mean the aggregate percentage Beneficial Ownership by the members of the Restricted Group of STAR’s Voting Securities, in each case calculated in the manner set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. These restrictions shall not prevent the Restricted Group from making a written acquisition proposal to the board of directors of STAR (or from publicly announcing the making of such a written proposal not less than eight business days after it has been made, if not previously made public by STAR) that is designed to compete with a definitive, bona fide written offer for not less than 50.1% of the capital stock or assets of STAR that has either been made in writing by a third party to the board of directors or has been publicly commenced by a third party through the launching of a tender offer or by other similar means (whether or not pursuant to an agreement with STAR), in any such event which offer was not directly or indirectly induced by any member of the Restricted Group.

                   IDT Investments and STAR are currently negotiating a proxy, pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock purchased by IDT Investments and the shares of Common Stock IDT Investments may acquire pursuant to the Warrants will be subject to a proxy in favor of Brett Messing, chief executive officer and chairman of STAR (the “Proxy”).

                   Registration Rights Agreement.   Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, dated February 7, 2001, between STAR and IDT Investments (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), STAR granted IDT Investments certain piggyback and demand registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for all shares of Common Stock (i) previously owned by IDT Investments, (ii) acquired by IDT Investments on February 1, 2001 and February 7, 2001, including any shares of Common Stock IDT Investments may receive pursuant to the adjustments described above, and (iii) that IDT Investments may acquire pursuant to the Warrants, including any shares of Common Stock IDT Investments may receive pursuant to the adjustments described above.

                   PT-1.   In connection with the investment in STAR, STAR, IDT and PT-1 Communications, Inc. (“PT-1”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of STAR, entered into an agreement, dated January 21, 2001 (the “PT-1 Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which IDT agreed to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of PT-1 relating to its debit-card business.

                   The descriptions of the Investment Agreement, Warrant, Registration Rights Agreement and PT-1 Letter Agreement throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified by reference to such Investment Agreement, Warrant, Registration Rights Agreement and PT-1 Letter Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3, 4, 5 and 6 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

                   Subject to the Standstill and Proxy described above, each of the Reporting Persons intends to continuously review their investment in STAR, and may in the future determine, either alone or as part of a group (i) to acquire additional securities of STAR, through open market purchases, private agreements or otherwise, (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of the securities of STAR owned by it or (iii) to take any other available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each of the Reporting Persons specifically reserves the right to change its intention with respect to any or all of such matters. Subject to the Standstill and Proxy described above, in reaching any decision as to its course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), each of the Reporting Persons currently expects that it would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, STAR’s business and prospects, other developments concerning STAR and its businesses generally, other business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, developments with respect to the business of IDT, changes in law and government regulations, general economic conditions and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of STAR.

                   Other than the transactions described above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals with respect to STAR or its securities that relate to, or would result in, any of the transactions described in paragraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Section 2. Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgments of IDT. IDT hereby represents, warrants and acknowledges to the Company, as follows: 2.1. No Registration of Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares. IDT is aware that the Initial Shares, the Shares, the Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the "Investor Securities") have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), that such offer and sale are intended to be exempt from registration under the Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and that the Investor Securities cannot be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. IDT is also aware that sales or transfers of the Investor Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and that the certificates for the Investor Securities will bear appropriate legends restricting their transfer pursuant to applicable laws. 2.2. Suitability of Investment. (a) IDT is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Act as presently in effect and is acquiring the Investor Securities for its own account, or for the account of another "accredited investor" who is an affiliate of IDT and who can make all of the representations contained herein, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof; (b) IDT will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Investor Securities, except in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws, to the extent applicable, and the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement; (c) IDT has such knowledge and experience in financial, business and tax matters that IDT is capable of evaluating the merits and risks relating to IDT's investment in the Investor Securities and making an investment decision with respect to the Company; 3 (d) IDT has been given the opportunity to obtain information and documents relating to the Company and to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the investment in the Investor Securities; and (e) IDT is aware that there are substantial risks incident to an investment in the Investor Securities, particularly in light of the Company's current financial condition. 2.3. Corporate Authority. IDT has all requisite corporate power and authority and has or will have taken all corporate and other action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of IDT enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

Each of the Company and each STAR Subsidiary is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, lease or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, when taken together with all other such failures, is not reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below).

Corporate Authority. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and 4 perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants (collectively, the "Equity Documents") and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has duly executed and delivered the Equity Documents. Each of the Equity Documents is a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles. 3.3.

(a) Subject to the filing and consents referred to in Section 3.4(b), the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the applicable Equity Documents and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions do not and will not contravene any Applicable Law, except for any such contravention that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or materially impair the benefit of IDT's investment hereunder or its ability to exercise the Warrants. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the applicable Equity Documents and the consummation of the Transactions (i) will not (A) violate, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any Contract to which the Company or any STAR Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any STAR Subsidiary is bound or to which any of their respective assets is subject, or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, claim, restriction, charge or encumbrance of any kind ("Lien") upon any of the assets of the Company or any STAR Subsidiary, except for any such violations, breaches, defaults or Liens that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect and (ii) will not conflict with or violate any provision of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company currently in effect or in effect as of the Closing. 6 (b) Except for (i) applicable filings, if any, required by applicable federal and state securities laws and identified in Schedule 3.4(b) hereto, and (ii) applicable filings, if any, required by the Federal Communication Commission and state public utility commissions which, in each case referred to in clauses (i) - (ii), shall be made on or prior to the date of the Closing, and except as contemplated by the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement, no consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Entity or other Person is required to be obtained or made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for the execution and delivery of the Equity Documents or the consummation by the Company of the Transactions except where the failure to obtain such consents, authorizations or orders, or make such filings or registrations, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to consummate the Transactions or materially impair the benefit of IDT's investment hereunder or its ability to exercise the Warrants. 3.5. Company Reports; Financial Statements. (a) The Company has filed all reports, registration statements and other filings, together with any amendments or supplements required to be made with respect thereto, that it has been required to file with the SEC under the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). As of the respective dates of their filing with the SEC, the Company Reports complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Act and the 1934 Act and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All reports, registration statements and other filings filed by the Company with the SEC since December 31, 1999 (including exhibits and any amendments thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) are referred to in this Agreement as the "Company Reports".

Liabilities. Except as disclosed in the Company Reports filed and publicly available prior to the date hereof, and except as set forth on Schedule 3.11 hereof, there are no obligations or liabilities, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not required to be disclosed, or any other facts or circumstances of which the officers of the Company has knowledge that could result in any claims against, or obligations or liabilities of, the Company or any of its Affiliates that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or materially impair the benefit of IDT's investment hereunder or its ability to exercise the Warrants. 3.12.

A Warrant Certificate, if presented together with a properly executed Assignment Form, may be exercised by an assignee for the purchase of Warrant Shares without prior delivery of a new Warrant Certificate issued in the name of the assignee. This Warrant Certificate may be subdivided or combined with other Warrant Certificates evidencing the same rights as the rights evidenced hereby, upon presentation and surrender hereof at the Warrant Office together with a written notice signed by the Holder hereof specifying the denominations in which new Warrant Certificates are to be issued. Upon presentation and surrender of any Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates, together with such written notice, for subdivision or combination, the Company shall issue a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates, in the denominations requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so surrendered. Such new Warrant or Certificate or Certificates shall be registered in the name of the Holder submitting such request and delivered to such Holder, unless such Holder shall have submitted a properly executed Assignment Form, in which case such new Warrant Certificates as shall have been assigned by the Holder shall be registered in the name of and delivered to the Holder's assignee or designee. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for subdivision or combination shall 6 be canceled promptly upon the issuance of such new Warrant Certificate or Certificates. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes this Warrant Certificate and any Warrants into which this Warrant Certificate may be subdivided, combined or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant Certificate, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant Certificate executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. Section 8. Rights of the Holder. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants, the Holder shall not be entitled to the rights of a stockholder of the Company by reason of the Holder's ownership of the Warrants. Section 9. Antidilution Provisions. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 9. If at any time or from time to time, after the date hereof, the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 9, deemed to have issued or sold, any shares ("Additional Common Shares") of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Gotel Closing), then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (A) the product of (x) such Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 9) immediately after such issuance of the Additional Common Shares. No adjustment of the Exercise Price, however, shall be made in an amount less than $0.01 per share, and any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to $0.01 per share or more. The Warrant Shares Number shall also be subject to adjustment if at any time or from time to time, after the date hereof, the Company shall issue or sell Additional Common Shares. In such event, the Warrant Shares Number in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall be increased, concurrently with such issue or sale, to equal the sum (rounded up to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying: (A) 5% and (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 9) immediately after such issuance of the Additional Common Shares. For purposes of calculating any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any Options (as defined below) or the conversion of any Convertible Securities (as defined below) shall be deemed to be 7 outstanding, other then currently outstanding employee stock options that have an exercise price greater than $5.00 per share of Common Stock ("Excluded Stock Options"). For purposes of this Section 9, but without duplication, the following clauses (1) to (6) shall also be applicable: (1) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any option or warrant for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities") whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issued upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided above in this Section 9 as if such shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities were deemed outstanding. Except as otherwise provided in clause (3), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in any manner issue (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided above in this Section 9 as if such shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities were deemed outstanding, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in clause (3) below, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and (b) if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Option to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. (3) Change in Option Price. If after the date hereof, the exercise price provided for in any Excluded Stock Option is reduced at any time to less than $5.00 per share (in each case other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), whether by a decrease in such exercise price or by increasing the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Options may be exercised, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such reduction shall forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at 8 such time had such Options provided for such reduced exercise price at the Date of Original Issuance. (4) Stock Dividends. In case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration and the Exercise Price then in effect immediately prior to such dividend declaration or distribution shall be reduced as if the Company had subdivided its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares as provided in clause (5) of this Section 9. (5) Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or shall declare or pay a dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, as applicable, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. (6) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. Section 10. Provision in Case of Reorganization or Reclassification. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company shall be effected in such a way (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provisions (in form satisfactory to the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Warrants) shall be made whereby each Holder of a Warrant shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the share or shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrant, such shares of stock, securities, cash or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the share or shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore so purchasable under this Warrant had such reorganization or reclassification not taken place and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities, cash or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise (including an immediate adjustment, by reason of such reorganization or 9 reclassification, of the Exercise Price to the value per share of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such reorganization or reclassification if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification). In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company as a result of which a greater or lesser number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation are issuable to holders of the Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. In the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or consolidation, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Holder simultaneously therewith a new Warrant Certificate, satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder, together with such other documents as the Holder may reasonably request, entitling the Holder thereof to receive upon exercise of the Warrants before the Expiration Date the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the Company may not effect any such merger or consolidation unless and until the foregoing has been complied with. Such new Warrants shall have the same basic other terms and conditions as the Warrants evidenced hereby and shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such written instrument, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 9 and this Section 10. If the Holders of the Warrants may elect the kind or amount of shares of stock, other securities and assets receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease, then for the purpose of this Section 10 the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon any such reorganization or reclassification (including any merger or consolidation) shall be deemed to be the election made by the Holder, which specification shall be made by the Holder by the later of (A) 10 Business Days after the Holder is provided with a final version of all information required by law or regulation to be furnished to Holders of Warrants concerning such election, or if no such information is required, 10 Business Days after the Company notified the Holders of all material facts concerning such election and (B) the last time at which Holders of Warrants are otherwise permitted to make their election. Section 11. No Dilution or Impairment. If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 9 or 10 hereof are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would adversely affect the purchase rights represented by the Warrants in a way that is contrary to the manifest and essential intent and principles of Sections 9 and 10 hereof, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint an Independent Appraiser, which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the manifest and essential intent and principles established in Sections 9 and 10 hereof, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant Certificate. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly provide notice thereof accompanied by a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein. Section 12. Taxes on Issue or Transfer of Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issuance of shares of Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. 10 Section 13. Notice of Adjustment of Exercise Price or Warrant Shares Number. Within 10 Business Days following the end of each calendar quarter in which the Exercise Price or Warrant Shares Number is adjusted as herein provided (and at such other times as a Holder may from time to time request), the Company shall promptly file at the Warrant Office a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) setting forth the Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Number after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the manner of computing the same. Within 10 Business Days following the end of each calendar quarter and at such other times as a Holder may from time to time request, the Company shall give notice to the Holders, at their respective addresses as set forth in the Warrant Register, of all such adjustments since the prior notification to the Holders and since the date hereof. Section 14. Notice Regarding Dividends, Subscription Rights, Reclassifications and Dissolutions. In case: (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on any shares of Common Stock; or (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its shares of Common Stock or other Warrant Shares of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or (c) of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock or other Warrant Shares, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (e) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall commence a tender offer for all or a portion of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock or other Warrant Shares (or shall amend any such tender offer); then the Company shall provide to the Holder, and shall cause to be filed at the Warrant Office, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record, expiration or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of or record shares of Common Stock or other Warrant Shares to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined, (y) the date on which the right to make tenders under such tender offer expires or (z) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record shares of Common Stock 11 or other Warrant Shares shall be entitled to exchange such shares or Warrant Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Section 15. Maintenance of Office or Agency; Other. Warrant Certificates may be presented or surrendered for split-up, combination, registration of transfer, or exchange and notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Warrants may be served to 223 East de La Guerra Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101. The Company shall provide notice to the Holder of any change in such address promptly after such change. The Company will cooperate with the Holder in and obtaining any governmental and regulatory approvals or consents, and in submitting any governmental filings (including with Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, if applicable) that may be required to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant and acquire the Warrant Shares. Section 16. Notices. Notices under this Warrant to the Holder shall be provided to the address of the Holder set forth in the Warrant Register. Notices to the Holder shall be made in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by hand or overnight courier, at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register. Section 17. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of the Warrants shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors of the Company and the Holder. Section 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING INITIATED BY A PARTY TO THIS WARRANT ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS WARRANT, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT THEY MY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER OBTAIN TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 12 Section 19.

WHEREAS, on February 1, 2001, the Company issued and sold 2,398,082 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") to IDT at a price of $0.417 per share of Common Stock. WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor have entered into a Investment Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2001, pursuant to which (i) the Investor has agreed to purchase 6,302,005 shares of Common Stock and the Company has agreed to sell to the Investor such shares of Common Stock, subject to the conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, and (ii) the Investor has agreed to acquire warrants to purchase up to 3,389,249 additional shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustments as provided in such warrants) and the Company has agreed to grant the Investor warrants to purchase such shares of Common Stock, subject to the conditions set forth in such warrants; and WHEREAS, it is a condition to the consummation of the Investment Agreement that the Company and Investor enter into this Agreement. 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. (a) For the purposes of this Agreement: "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. "Affiliate" means, with respect to any person, any other person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the first such person. "Closing" and "Closing Date" mean the date of the Closing, as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement. "Holder" means a holder of Registrable Securities or, unless the context otherwise requires, warrants to purchase Warrant Shares, as the term is defined in the Investment Agreement. "person" means any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, government or agency or political subdivision thereof, or other entity. "register," "registered" and "registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement. "Registrable Securities" means the Initial Shares, Shares and Warrant Shares, as the terms are defined in the Investment Agreement, and all shares of Common Stock the Investor and its affiliates currently beneficially own, provided, however, that such Shares or Warrant Shares shall cease to be Registrable Securities when and to the extent that (i) the Shares and Warrant Shares have been sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Act, (ii) the Investor or its Affiliates no longer hold any of the Shares or Warrant Shares, (iii) all of the Shares and Warrant Shares have become eligible for resale by the Investor or its Affiliates within any three-month period pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar provision then in force) or (iv) such Shares or Warrant Shares have ceased to be outstanding. (b) Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning ascribed to them in the Investment Agreement. Section 2. Registration Rights. 2.1. (a) Registration Upon Demand. (i) At any time after 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 (a "Demand Registration"). Upon receipt of a valid request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall promptly, and in 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(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall only be required to effect a registration if the number of Registrable Securities that the Company shall have been requested to register shall, in the aggregate, represent at least 20% of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders. The Holders shall together have the right to two Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i). No other securityholder of the Company shall be permitted to include any of its securities in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i) unless the Investor or its Affiliates consent to such inclusion prior to the filing of the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a)(i), the Holders shall not make a Demand Registration during the 180-day period following the date hereof, when a Registration Statement on Form S-1 is in effect which covers the Registrable Securities and has been approved in writing by the Investor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. (ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof, and in addition to the rights granted under Section 2.1(a)(i) hereof, at any time the Company is or becomes eligible to register its securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form), one or more 2 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(a)(ii). 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, represent at least 20% of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders. The Holders shall together have the right to three S-3 Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(ii). No other securityholder of the Company shall be permitted to include any of its securities in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(ii) unless the Investor or its Affiliates consent to such inclusion prior to the filing of the registration statement. (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 the fault of any of the Holders, 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 to perform its obligations under such underwriting agreement. (c) Piggyback Registration. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of another person or entity, including, without limitations, for the account of Gotel Investments Ltd. or any of its affiliates (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute forms that may be adopted from time to time by the SEC)), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders at the address set forth in the share register of the Company as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event less than 7 business days before the anticipated filing date), undertaking to provide each Holder the opportunity to register on the same terms and conditions such amount of Registrable Securities as such Holder may request (a "Piggyback Registration"). Each Holder will have 5 business days after receipt of any such notice to notify the Company as to whether it wishes to participate in a Piggyback Registration (which notice shall not be deemed to be a request for a Demand Registration). If the registration statement is filed on behalf of a person or entity other than the Company, the Company shall include the Registrable Securities that the Holders wish to sell in the registration statement. If the Company or the person or entity for 3 whose account such offering is being made shall determine in its sole discretion not to register or to delay the proposed offering, the Company may, at its election, provide written notice of such determination to the Holders and (i) in the case of a determination not to effect the proposed offering, shall thereupon be relieved of the obligation to register such Registrable Securities in connection therewith and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay a proposed offering, shall thereupon be permitted to delay registering such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in respect of the proposed offering. If the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration by any Holder differ from the type of securities proposed to be registered by the Company and the managing underwriter for such offering advises the Company that due to such differences the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would cause a material adverse effect on the price of the offering (a "Material Adverse Effect"), then (x) the number of such Holders' Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration shall be reduced to an amount which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would eliminate such Material Adverse Effect or (y) if no such reduction would, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, eliminate such Material Adverse Effect, then the Company shall have the right to exclude all such Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration, provided, that there are not included and offered for the account of any other Person in such Piggyback Registration any other securities that differ from the type of securities proposed to be registered. Any partial reduction in number of Registrable Securities of any Holder to be included in the Piggyback Registration pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be effected pro rata based on the ratio which such Holder's requested securities bears to the total number of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by all persons or entities other than the Company who have the contractual right to request that their securities be included in such registration statement and who have requested that their securities be included. 2.2. Blackout Periods for Holders. If the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof (or the use of a registration statement or related prospectus) would be materially detrimental to the Company or its shareholders because such filing would require disclosure of material non-public information, and therefore the board of directors determines that it is in the Company's best interest to defer the filing of the registration statement, and promptly gives the Holders written notice of such determination in the form of a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company following their request to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of the registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof for a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed 60 days (a "Demand Blackout Period") after the date of such request, provided that the Company's exercise of its rights under this Section 2.2(i) shall not result in Demand Blackout Periods for more than 180 days in any 365 day period, (ii) shall not result in Demand Blackout Periods that are separated by less than 45 4 days and (iii) shall only be effective when and for so long as the officers and directors of the Company and other holders, if any, of registration rights with respect to the Company's securities are similarly restricted from buying or selling securities of the Company and/or exercising their registration rights, as applicable. The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of the expiration or earlier termination of any Demand Blackout Period. 2.3. Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Section 2, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as may be practicable: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, use reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective for not less than 120 days, unless all Registrable Securities included therein are earlier sold. (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement. (c) Use its best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities (i) for listing on the NASDAQ National Market or listing on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or (ii) if neither such quotation system or exchange is available for quotation or listing, for listing on a national securities exchange selected by a majority in interest of the Holders of the Registrable Securities being registered. (d) Furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities registering such securities such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus (in the event of an underwritten offering), in conformity with the requirements of applicable law, and such other documents as each such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by it. (e) Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under state blue sky laws in any U.S. jurisdictions in which such registration and qualification is reasonably requested by any Holder; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions. (f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form and substance as agreed to by the Company and the managing underwriter of such offering. 5 (g) Promptly notify the Holders in writing: (i) when the registration statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the registration statement has been filed, and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or related prospectus or any written request by the SEC for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation of any proceedings by any person for that purpose, and promptly use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; and (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any written notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or overt threat of any proceeding for such purpose. (h) Notify the Holders in writing on a timely basis, at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under applicable law, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. Upon receipt of any notice of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in the preceding sentence, each Holder will cease using such prospectus until receipt by the Holders of the copies of such supplemented or amended prospectus. If so requested by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company any copies of such prospectus then in its possession (other than one permanent file copy). If the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective as provided in Section 2.3(a) hereof by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to the date when the Company shall make available to the Holders such supplemented or amended prospectus. (i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder participating in the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as if customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders participating in the registration 6 of Registrable Securities and (ii) a "Cold Comfort" letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, addressed to the board of directors of the Company, to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by applicable accounting standards, to the Holders participating in the registration of Registrable Securities. (j) Cause the transfer agent to remove restrictive legends on certificates representing the securities covered by such registration statement. (k) Prepare and file with the SEC, promptly upon the request of any such Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such Holders, is required under the Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities by such Holders. (l) Make reasonably available for inspection by any Holder of such Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Holder or underwriter, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested in connection with such registration statement.

(p) Make generally available to its securityholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. (q) Provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity and which may be the Company) for such Registrable Securities. 7 (r) Use its reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms contemplated hereby. 2.4. Furnish Information. ------------------- (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to include any Registrable Securities of any Holder in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2 that the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, any other securities of the Company held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Any such information shall be provided to the Company within any reasonable time period requested by the Company. (b) Each Holder shall notify the Company, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under applicable law, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the applicable registration statement, as then in effect, in each case only with respect to information provided by such Holder, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Such Holder shall immediately upon the happening of any such event cease using such prospectus. Any other Holders shall cease using such prospectus immediately upon receipt of notice from the Company to that effect. If so requested by the Company, each Holder shall promptly return to the Company any copies of such prospectus in its possession (other than one permanent file copy). The Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to each such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. 2.5. Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the Registrable Securities. 2.6. Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any underwritten offering of a Holder's Registrable Securities, the Holders shall, after consulting with the Company, select the underwriters participating in the registration. Each of the Company and the Holder of Registrable Securities shall enter into, and perform its obligations under, one or more underwriting agreements and any related agreements and documents (which may include an escrow agreement and/or a power of attorney with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Securities), which shall include such representations, 8 warranties, conditions, covenants, indemnities, lock-up (up to 180 days) and contribution provisions as are customary in the context of transactions of the kind, in the form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, it may elect, prior to the execution of any underwriting agreement, to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the lead managing underwriter. 2.7. Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 2.8. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Act and the 1934 Act and their respective directors, officers, partners, stockholders, members, employees, agents and representatives and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Act and the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities joint or several) to which they may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon or relate to (collectively, a "Violation") (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (z) any violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by any registration statement; and the Company will pay to each Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by a Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration or is caused by any failure by the Holder to deliver a prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) as and when required under the Act after such prospectus has been timely furnished by the Company. 9 (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation is caused by (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement contained in, or by any omission or alleged omission from, information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder specifically and expressly for use in any such registration statement or prospectus but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof or (y) any failure by the Holder to deliver a prospectus or preliminary prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) as and when required under the Act after such prospectus has been timely filed by the Company. Such Holder will pay any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.8(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties; provided that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain separate counsel, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party if representation of such Indemnified Person by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate (in the opinion of the Indemnified Person) due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, provided that the indemnifying party in such event shall not be responsible for the fees of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons that may be represented without conflict by one counsel. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the 10 Indemnified Person under this Section 2.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 2.8. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the Indemnified Person shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the Indemnified Person and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution hereunder from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall a Holder's obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder upon its sale of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. (e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities under a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2. 2.9. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee of Registrable Securities, provided that (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree with the Company in writing to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent then applicable. 2.10. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to: (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Act, at all times; (b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and 11 (c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish such Holder upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Act, and of the 1934 Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

STAR Telecommunications, Inc. 223 East de La Guerra Street Santa Barbara, California 93101 Attention: Brett Messing, Chief Executive Officer Ladies and Gentlemen: This Agreement will confirm the results of our negotiations and our mutual understanding regarding the transaction (the "Transaction") pursuant to which IDT Corporation ("IDT") will acquire the Transferred Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities (each such term, as hereinafter defined) of PT-1 Communications Inc. ("PT-1"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Star Telecommunications Inc. ("Star"), for a total purchase price of $1.00, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 1. Definitive Agreements. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be a binding and enforceable agreement with respect to the matters described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties intend to enter into more complete documentation (the "Final Documentation") after the date hereof which shall, among other things, modify the Transaction structure in such manner as the parties may mutually agree in order to make such structure as tax efficient as is practicable for all parties. Each of IDT and PT-1 shall negotiate in good faith to cause the Final Documentation to be executed and delivered by the parties as promptly as is practicable after the date hereof and to reflect in all material terms the substantive provisions hereof. Upon the execution and delivery of the Final Documentation, this Agreement shall be deemed to be superseded in its entirety by the Final Documentation. 2. Transferred Assets. The "Transferred Assets" will include, without limitations, all of the assets of PT-1 relating to its debit card business (the "Business"), including, without limitation: (a) the PT-1, PT1, PT-I and PTI brand names and all other trademarks, copyrights, service marks, software, know-how and other intellectual property owned by or used in the Business, and any and all derivative forms thereof; (b) all accounts receivable and other amounts owing to PT-1 (including, without limitation, all prepaid expenses) with respect to the Business as of the date upon which the Transaction is consummated (which date is expected to occur on or about February 1, 2001; the "Closing Date"); and (c) other assets material to the Business (including, without limitation, intercompany agreements with Star, distributor agreements, and non-compete agreements in favor of PT-1), except (i) the switches and related switching infrastructure used in the Business and (ii) those which IDT in its sole discretion elects not to acquire. The Transferred Assets shall be sold, transferred, conveyed and assigned free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, security interests, encumbrances and all other adverse claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, other than the Assumed Liabilities. 3. Assumed Liabilities. The "Assumed Liabilities" will include only the deferred revenue (i.e., the unutilized minutes on phone cards then in distribution) reflected on the balance sheet of PT-1 as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). 4. Use of Name. (a) PT-1 hereby agrees to, unconditionally, irrevocably and in perpetuity, relinquish to IDT all rights to, and cease the use of, the names "PT-1", "PT1", "PT-I", "PTI" and any and all derivative forms thereof, as well as to the trademarks, tradenames and other intellectual property relating to each of the debit cards distributed by PT-1 (including, without limitation, New York Millionaires, Hola Mexico and PT-1 Phonecard). (b) For a period of 6 months following the Closing Date, IDT shall grant to Star a royalty-free, non-exclusive (and non-transferable) license to use the PT-1 brand name solely in connection with the existing "dial-around" business of PT-1; provided that PT-1 shall not take any action or permit to exist with respect to its use of the PT-1 brand name any condition which could impair the goodwill attached to such mark. 5. Employees and Facilities. (a) During the period between the date hereof and the Closing Date, IDT shall review the existing employees of the Business and shall designate to PT-1 which (if any) of such employees IDT desires to hire. PT-1 shall be solely responsible for any liabilities or obligations relating to employee, severance pay, post-employment or retiree benefits or compensation arrangements (including, without limitation, any and all liabilities that may arise under the WARN Act) with respect to (i) all employees of the Business who IDT does not so elect to hire, and (ii) any such employees which IDT makes an offer of employment but which do not accept such employment with IDT. (b) In the event that IDT so notifies PT-1 on or prior to the Closing Date, PT-1 shall make available to IDT any facilities (or portions thereof) utilized by PT-1 in the Business for the term requested by IDT (not to exceed the term of PT-1's contractual rights on the date hereof) and at a price equal to PT-1's actual direct cost (or the relevant pro rated portion thereof) for the use of such facilities (or portions thereof); provided that, with respect to PT-1's leased real property in Flushing, New York, PT-1 shall have the right to terminate its lease at any time without liability to IDT and IDT's right of use shall continue for only such period of time as PT-1 has rights to the property. 6. Litigation Indemnity. IDT hereby agrees to indemnify PT-1 for PT-1's liability relating to the items of litigation listed on Schedule A hereto (the "Litigation Matters"); provided that (a) such liability is adjudicated pursuant to final, irrevocable and unappealable 2 judgment or fixed by binding settlement agreement, and PT-1's claim for indemnity is made, within 120 days following the Closing Date hereof and (b) the amount of IDT's aggregate liability for indemnity under this Section 6 shall not exceed, with respect to each such item of litigation, the "Cap Amount" set forth below opposite the title of such litigation: Litigation Title Cap Amount ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Peter Spano, Caroline Gugliemo and Teresa Davanzo v. Samer $1,000,000 Tawfik and PT-1 Communications, Inc. Godotsoft LLC v. PT-1 Communications, Inc. (f/k/a Phonetime, $1,500,000 Inc.) and STAR Telecommunications PT-1 v. Thomas Hickey $2,500,000 To the extent that the liability for any of the Litigation Matters is finally adjudicated or fixed by binding settlement agreement within such 120-day period and the amount of IDT's indemnity liability owing hereunder is less than the Cap Amount described above (the difference between the Cap Amount and IDT's indemnity liability with respect to a Litigation Matter, the "Indemnitee Balance"), IDT shall (in addition to such liability) pay to PT-1 in cash within 10 business days following request of PT-1, the amount equal to 50% of such Indemnitee Balance. In the event that, with respect to any such Litigation Matter, PT-1 does not satisfy the conditions to payment by IDT of its indemnity hereunder (i.e., the liability is not fixed within 120 days), then IDT shall, at PT-1's direction, pay to creditors of PT-1 the amount equal to 70% of the Cap Amount with respect to each such unresolved Litigation Matter in respect of amounts owing to such creditors and IDT's indemnity obligations with respect to such Litigation Matter shall terminate. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that (x) IDT shall not be liable to indemnify PT-1 for any of its costs and expenses relating to any such Litigation Matter or to pay any amounts with respect thereto in excess of the Cap Amount with respect to any Litigation Matter and (y) any unutilized portion of the Cap Amount with respect to any Litigation Matter may not be carried over and utilized with respect to another Litigation Matter. 7. Switch Services. Star agrees that, for a period of one year following the Closing Date, PT-1 will charge IDT not more than the fair market rate for termination of telecommunications traffic on or through any of the PT-1 switches that are presently used in the operation of the Business (including, without limitation, use of the debit card platform to be transferred by PT-1 to IDT pursuant to this Agreement until it is in full operation by IDT), and that such rates will not include any administrative or related overhead charge for the use of such switch (and platform). Notwithstanding the foregoing, PT-1 may (upon not less than 60-days' prior written notice to IDT) sell, transfer, otherwise convey or shut-down any such switch (or platform) at any time after the date which is six months following the Closing Date and IDT's rights under this Section 6 with respect to the relevant switch (and platform) will terminate on the later of (a) the 60th day following written notice from PT-1 to IDT of PT-1's intention to effect such sale, transfer, conveyance or shut-down and (b) the date of such sale, transfer, conveyance or shut-down. 3 8. Deposit. (a) Within two business days following the date upon which an escrow account is established with the law firm of Courter, Kobert, Laufer & Cohen (or other escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the parties), IDT shall deposit in such escrow account $4,000,000 in cash (the "Initial Deposit"), which amount shall constitute a deposit for future termination services (as described in clause (b) below). The Initial Deposit shall be released from escrow as follows: (i) on the Closing Date, the Initial Deposit promptly shall be paid by the escrow agent to PT-1; (ii) in the event that this Agreement is terminated at the election of IDT following (A) the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding of Star or PT-1, (B) failure of Star and PT-1 to obtain the consent of WorldCom, Inc. ("WorldCom") to the Transaction or (C) the imposition of an injunction or similar impediment to the occurrence of the Closing Date by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Initial Deposit promptly shall be paid by the escrow agent to IDT; and (iii) in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, the Initial Deposit promptly shall be paid by the escrow agent to PT-1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that this Agreement is terminated because of the effectiveness of the Final Documentation, then the escrow agent shall retain the Initial Deposit in accordance with the terms of the Final Documentation. The parties hereto hereby agree that they shall use their best efforts to appoint an escrow agent as soon as practicable following the date hereof. (b) On the Closing Date, IDT shall advance to Star $1,000,000 in cash (the "Supplemental Deposit"; together with the Initial Deposit, the "Deposit"), which amount (together with the Initial Deposit) shall constitute a deposit for future termination services. At such times as IDT may request (which request shall not be made more than once in each calendar month), Star shall make available to IDT its domestic and international termination costs for each route without any provision for corporate overhead, transport or switching costs (i.e., the actual amount payable in cash by Star to its termination counterparty). IDT then shall have the right to purchase from Star termination over such routes as IDT elects at a price equal to such cost to Star (but subject to any volume limitations imposed upon Star by such termination counterparty). In the event that IDT purchases such termination from Star, IDT shall pay to Star in cash (within 15 days after receipt of detailed invoice) the amount equal to such cost and the Deposit shall be deemed to be utilized by the amount equal to the difference between the price paid by IDT and IDT's own cost for termination over such route (it being understood that, if IDT's own cost is less than or equal to the price paid to Star, IDT may purchase such termination from Star at Star's cost and the Deposit shall not be reduced on account of such purchases). In the event that the Deposit is not reduced by $1,250,000 in any period of three consecutive months, then Star shall make available to IDT, at no cost to IDT, termination services (valued, with respect to the relevant route, at either (x) a market rate to be mutually agreed upon or (y) in the absence of any such agreement, the lowest of (1) the average of IDT and Star's cost, (2) 4 WorldCom's rate or (3) Concert's rate) having an aggregate value equal to the difference between $1,250,000 and the amount of the reduction during the applicable three-month period. The provisions of this clause (b) shall remain in full force and effect until the Deposit has been fully utilized. 9. Conditions to Closing. (a) The obligations of IDT, Star and PT-1 to consummate the Transaction will be subject to (i) complying with any applicable regulations including, without limitation, expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "H-S-R Act"), and any applicable filings, approvals or notifications with the Federal Communications Commission and any State public utility commissions; provided that compliance with any applicable regulations shall not impose any materially burdensome condition or restriction on IDT, and (ii) receipt by PT-1 of the consent of WorldCom to the consummation of the Transaction.

By: /s/ Brett Messing ------------------------------- Name: Brett Messing Title: Chairman & Chief Executive Officer PT-1 COMMUNICATIONS INC. By: /s/ Brett Messing ------------------------------- Name: Brett Messing Title: Chairman & Chief Executive Officer 10 SCHEDULE A LITIGATION 1. Peter Spano, Caroline Gugliemo and Teresa Davanzo v. Samer Tawfik and PT-1 Communications, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of Richmond. The plaintiffs allege that PT-1 is a successor corporation to a prior company owned by the plaintiffs and Tawfik and that Tawfik promised them 60% of PT-1. Defendants' Summary Judgment motion was denied during the summer of 2000. At pre-trial conference in December 2000, the parties' settlement positions were not even close. Case is scheduled for trial in February 2001. 2. Godotsoft LLC v. PT-1 Communications, Inc. (f/k/a Phonetime, Inc.) and STAR Telecommunications. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Filed on April 9, 1999 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County. Pursuant to a license agreement, Godotsoft licenses (Joe Pannullo's organization) to PT-1 certain software code, documentation and related technology to be utilized in on-line rating and billing systems for certain international long distance services, including prepaid calling cards and dial around services. Plaintiff is suing the defendants for anticipatory breach and breach of the license agreement between Godotsoft and PT-1 and for breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. Plaintiff has requested judgment against the defendants for an unspecified amount of damages and punitive damages and seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the defendants from any further use, exploitation or development of the licensed software and requiring that they return all copies of the software, derivative works and related products to the plaintiff. The case is currently in discovery, with a cut off date of 1/19/01. STAR is filing a motion for SJ (to get STAR out), a cross complaint for breach of fiduciary duties, for soliciting employees and stealing trade secret info. 3. PT-1 v. Thomas Hickey. ---------------------- This is a special appraisal proceeding filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of Queens in February 2000 to determine the fair value of the stock of PT-1 held by Hickey. The case was commenced by PT-1 by notice of petition following Hickey's election to dissent from the merger between STAR and PT-1 and demand for payment for the fair value of the PT-1 shares held by Hickey. On September 11, 2000 the court denied Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction and vacated the temporary restraining order. Hickey lost his motions for both a temporary restraining order to halt the distribution of the proceeds from the sale of PT-1 to Counsel Communications, his motion (in Federal Court) to attach the assets of the sale and his effort to impose a priority lien vis-a-vis WorldCom. Hickey has reopened settlement negotiations in light of STAR's failure to merge with WAXS and the termination of the Counsel transaction. 11 EX-99.7 8 0008.txt JOINT FILING AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 7 JOINT FILING AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 11, 2001 In accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the undersigned hereby agree to the joint filing of IDT Investments Inc., IDT Corporation and Howard S.
