Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), directors of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 102(7) of the DGCL, however, states that such a provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, relating to unlawful dividends, distributions or the repurchase or redemption of stock or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

The Registrant’s By-Laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any person against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings in which such person is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant (or serving in any such capacity with another business organization at the request of the Registrant) if he acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. If the legal proceeding, however, is by or in the right of the Registrant, such director, officer, employee or agent may not be indemnified in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which he shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless a court determines otherwise.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  (ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment

 


 

thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

 

  (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) will not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  Re: IDT Corporation—Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

I am the Secretary and General Counsel of IDT Corporation (the “Company”), and as such I have been asked to render the following opinion in connection with the registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 3,965,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $.01 (the “Class B Common Stock”), consisting of: (i) 1,662,926 shares which are reserved for issuance pursuant to awards which may be granted under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “Plan”); (ii) 1,337,074 shares which may be issued upon exercise of options previously granted under the Plan; and (iii) 965,000 shares which are issuable upon exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Agreements between the Company and the persons listed in note (6) to the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the Registration Statement (the “Option Agreements”).

 

As your counsel in connection with the Registration Statement, I have examined the Plan and the Option Agreements and the proceedings taken by you in connection with the adoption of the Plan and the authorization of the issuance of the shares of Class B Common Stock under the Plan and such other documents as I have deemed necessary to render this opinion.

 

Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that the shares of Class B Common Stock to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when issued and outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Plan, Option Agreements or Restricted Stock Agreements, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares.

 

I hereby consent to the filing of this Opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

 

Very truly yours,

/s/ Joyce J. Mason

Secretary and General Counsel

EXHIBIT 10.2

 

IDT CORPORATION

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

FOR CLASS B COMMON STOCK

 

This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of                             , by and between IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                              (the “Employee”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Employee options to acquire an aggregate of                      shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the “Stock”), on the terms set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms are defined herein.

 

2. Grant of Options. The Employee is hereby granted non-qualified stock options (the “Options”) to purchase an aggregate of                      shares of Stock, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

3. Term. The term of the Options (the “Option Term”) shall be for ten (10) years commencing on                              and terminating on                             .

 

4. Option Price. The initial exercise price per share of the Options shall be $                    , subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

5. Conditions to Exercisability. The Options shall vest and become exercisable as follows:                              [vesting dates], if the Employee continues to be employed by or acts as a Consultant to or a Director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries on such date or dates.

 

6. Method of Exercise. An Option may be exercised, as to any or all full shares of the Stock as to which the Option has become exercisable, by written notice delivered in person or by mail to the Company’s transfer agent or other administrator designated by the Company, specifying the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised.

 

7. Medium and Time of Payment. The Option Price shall be paid in full, at the time of exercise, in cash or in shares of Stock (whether then owned by the Employee or issuable upon exercise of the Option) having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option Price or in a combination of cash and Stock, including a cashless exercise procedure through a broker dealer.

 

8. Termination. Except as provided in this Section 8 and in Section 9 hereof, an Option may not be exercised unless the Employee is then in the employ of or maintaining a director or consultant relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof (or a company or a Parent or Subsidiary of such company issuing or assuming the Option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies), and unless the Employee has remained continuously so employed or in the director or consultant relationship since the date of grant of the Option. In the event that the employment or consultant relationship of a Employee shall terminate (other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement), all Options of such Employee that are exercisable at the time of Employee’s termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within three (3) months after the date of such termination (or such different period as the Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”) shall prescribe).

 

9. Death, Disability or Retirement of Employee. If the Employee shall die while employed by, or maintaining a director or consultant relationship with, the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, or within thirty (30) days after the date of termination of such Employee’s employment, director or consultant relationship (or within such different period as the Committee may have provided pursuant to Section 8 hereof), or if the Employee’s employment, director or consultant relationship shall terminate by reason of Disability, all Options theretofore granted to the Employee (to the extent otherwise exercisable) may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Employee or by the Employee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such Options by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by result of death or Disability of the Employee, at any time within 180 days after the death or Disability of the Employee (or such different period as the Committee shall prescribe). In the event that an Option granted hereunder shall be exercised by the legal representatives of a deceased or former Employee, written notice of such exercise shall be accompanied by a

 


certified copy of letters testamentary or equivalent proof of the right of such legal representative to exercise such Option. In the event that the employment or consultant relationship of a Employee shall terminate on account of such Employee’s Retirement, all Options of the Employee that are exercisable at the time of such Retirement may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Retirement (or such different period as the Committee shall prescribe).

 

10. Withholding Taxes. No later than the date of exercise of an Option, the Employee will pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of an Option. Alternatively, solely to the extent permitted or required by law, the Company may deduct the amount of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of an Option from any payment of any kind due to the Employee. The withholding obligation may be satisfied by the withholding or delivery of the Stock.

 

11. Terms Incorporated by Reference Herein. Each of the terms of the Company’s 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (“Plan”), as in effect as of the date hereof, shall be deemed to govern the Options granted hereunder, as if the Options had been granted pursuant to the Plan. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

 

12. Transferability of Options. Stock Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than to an immediate family member of Employee or to a trust or other estate planning entity created for the benefit of the Employee or one or more members of his immediate family as provided for under the Plan, provided that, in all cases, such transferee executes a written consent to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

 

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the understandings between the parties hereto pertaining to the matters referred to herein, and supersedes all undertakings and agreements, whether oral or in writing, previously entered into by them with respect thereto. The Employee represents that, in executing this Agreement, he does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein made by the Company with regard to the subject matter of this Agreement or otherwise.

 

14. Amendment or Modification, Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing, signed by the Employee and by a duly authorized officer of the Company. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach by another party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar of dissimilar condition or provision at the same time, any prior time or any subsequent time.

 

15. Notices. Each notice relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person or by certified mail to the proper address. All notices to the Company shall be addressed to it at:

EXHIBIT 10.3

 

FORM OF

IDT CORPORATION

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

CLASS B COMMON STOCK

 

This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 6, 2002, by and between IDT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and «FIRST_NAME» «LAST_NAME» (the “Employee”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Employee options to acquire an aggregate of «OPTIONS» shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the “Stock”), on the terms set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms are defined herein.

 

2. Grant of Options. The Employee is hereby granted stock options (the “Options”) to purchase an aggregate of «OPTIONS» shares of Stock, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

3. Term. The term of the Options (the “Option Term”) shall be for ten (10) years commencing on September 6, 2002 and terminating on September 5, 2012.

 

4. Option Price. The initial exercise price per share of the Options shall be $                    , subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

5. Conditions to Exercisability. The Options shall vest and become exercisable on the later of the following dates, «VESTING», known as the vesting dates, if the Employee continues to be employed by or acts as a Consultant to or a Director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries on such date.

 

6. Method of Exercise. An Option may be exercised, as to any or all full shares of Class B Common Stock as to which the Option has become exercisable, by written notice delivered in person or by mail to the Company’s transfer agent or other administrator designated by the Company, specifying the number of shares of Class B Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised.

 

7. Medium and Time of Payment. The Option Price shall be paid in full, at the time of exercise, in cash or in shares of Class B Common Stock (whether then owned by the Employee or issuable upon exercise of the Option) having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option Price or in a combination of cash and Class B Common Stock, including a cashless exercise procedure through a broker-dealer.

 

8. Termination. Except as provided in this Section 8 and in Section 9 hereof, an Option may not be exercised unless the Employee is then in the employ of or maintaining a director or consultant relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof (or a company or a Parent or Subsidiary of such company issuing or assuming the Option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies), and unless the Employee has remained continuously so employed or in the director or consultant relationship since the date of grant of the Option. In the event that the employment or consultant relationship of a Employee shall terminate (other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement), all Options of such Employee that are exercisable at the time of Employee’s termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such termination (or such different period as the Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”) shall prescribe).

 

9. Death, Disability or Retirement of Employee. If the Employee shall die while employed by, or maintaining a director or consultant relationship with, the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, or within thirty (30) days after the date of termination of such Employee’s employment, director or consultant relationship (or within such different

 


period as the Committee may have provided pursuant to Section 8 hereof), or if the Employee’s employment, director or consultant relationship shall terminate by reason of Disability, all Options theretofore granted to the Employee (to the extent otherwise exercisable) may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Employee or by the Employee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such Options by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by result of death or Disability of the Employee, at any time within 180 days after the death or Disability of the Employee (or such different period as the Committee shall prescribe). In the event that an Option granted hereunder shall be exercised by the legal representatives of a deceased or former Employee, written notice of such exercise shall be accompanied by a certified copy of letters testamentary or equivalent proof of the right of such legal representative to exercise such Option. In the event that the employment or consultant relationship of a Employee shall terminate on account of such Employee’s Retirement, all Options of the Employee that are exercisable at the time of such Retirement may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Retirement (or such different period as the Committee shall prescribe).

 

10. Withholding Taxes. No later than the date of exercise of an Option, the Employee will pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of an Option. Alternatively, solely to the extent permitted or required by law, the Company may deduct the amount of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of an Option from any payment of any kind due to the Employee. The withholding obligation may be satisfied by the withholding or delivery of the Stock.

 

11. Terms Incorporated by Reference Herein. Each of the terms of the Company’s 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (“Plan”), as in effect as of the date hereof, shall be deemed to govern the Options granted hereunder, as if the Options had been granted pursuant to the Plan. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

 

12. Transferability of Options. Stock Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than to an immediate family member of Employee or to a trust or other estate planning entity created for the benefit of the Employee or one or more members of his immediate family as provided for under the Plan, provided that, in all cases, such transferee executes a written consent to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and that written evidence of the transfer as well as the written consent of the transferee is provided to the Compensation Committee, care of Joyce Mason, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, within thirty (30) days of the transfer.

 

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the understandings between the parties hereto pertaining to the matters referred to herein, and supersedes all undertakings and agreements, whether oral or in writing, previously entered into by them with respect thereto. The Employee represents that, in executing this Agreement, he does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein made by the Company with regard to the subject matter of this Agreement or otherwise.

 

14. Amendment or Modification, Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing, signed by the Employee and by a duly authorized officer of the Company. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach by another party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar of dissimilar condition or provision at the same time, any prior time or any subsequent time.
