Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party will provide all required financial and other Information with respect to itself and its subsidiaries to its auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit its auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to the other Party’s auditors with respect to information to be included or contained in the other Party’s annual financial statements and to permit the other Party’s auditors and management to complete the Internal Control Audit and Management Assessments.

(ii) Access to Personnel and Records. With respect to fiscal year 2013, and any future fiscal year of each of IDT and SPCI, each Party (the “Audited Party”) shall authorize its auditors, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its auditors, to make available to the other Party’s auditors (the “Other Party’s Auditors”), at the sole cost and expense of the other Party, both the personnel who performed or are performing the annual audits of the Audited Party and work papers related to the annual audits of the Audited Party, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to such Other Audited Party’s auditors’ opinion date, so that the Other Party’s Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for, or otherwise to review to the extent deemed required, the work of the Audited Party’s auditors as it relates to the Other Party’s Auditors’ report on or review of such other Party’s financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable such other Party to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of its annual or interim financial statements. In such an event, the Audited Party shall make available to the Other Party’s Auditors and management its personnel and Records, at the sole cost and expense of the other Party, in a reasonable time prior to the Other Party’s Auditors’ opinion or review date and the other Party’s management’s assessment date so that the Other Party’s Auditors and the other Party’s management are able to prepare its annual or interim financial statements or to perform the procedures they consider necessary to conduct the Internal Control Audit and Management Assessments.

(b) In the event a Party (the first party) restates any of its financial statements that include its audited or unaudited financial statements with respect to any balance sheet date or period of operation between August 1, 2010 and July 31, 2013, the first party will deliver to the other Party (the second party) a substantially final draft, as soon as the same is prepared, of any report to be filed by the first party with the Commission that includes such restated audited or unaudited financial statements (the “Amended Financial Report”); provided, however, that the first party may continue to revise its Amended Financial Report prior to its filing thereof with the Commission, which changes will be delivered to the second party as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, further, however, that the first party’s financial personnel will actively consult with the second party’s financial personnel regarding any changes which the first party may consider making to its Amended Financial Report and related disclosures prior to the anticipated filing of such report with the Commission, with particular focus on any changes which would have an effect upon the second party’s financial statements or related disclosures. Each Party will reasonably cooperate with, and permit and make any necessary employees available to, the other Party, in connection with the other Party’s preparation of any Amended Financial Reports.

(c) If any Party or member of its respective Group (if applicable) is required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X or otherwise, to include in its Exchange Act filings audited financial statements or other information of the other Party or member of the other Party’s Group (if applicable), the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to provide such audited financial statements or other information, and (ii) to cause its outside auditors to consent to the inclusion of such audited financial statements or other information in the Party’s Exchange Act filings.

(d) Nothing in this Section 4.04 shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required under this Section 4.04 to disclose any such information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party’s consent to the disclosure of such information.

Section 4.05. No Restrictions on Post-Closing Competitive Activities; Corporate Opportunities. Except as expressly provided herein or in any of the Ancillary Agreements, it is the explicit intent of each of the Parties that this Agreement shall not include any non-competition or other similar restrictive arrangements with respect to the range of business activities that may be conducted by the Parties. Accordingly, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed to create any explicit or implied restriction or other limitation on (i) the ability of the other Party or any member of its Group (if applicable) to engage in any business or other activity that competes with the business of such Party or any member of its Group (if applicable), or (ii) the ability of the other Party or any member of its Group (if applicable) to engage in any specific line of business or engage in any business activity in any specific geographic area.

Section 4.06. Right of Offset.

(a) To the extent IDT or any other member of the IDT Group has the right to receive any amounts hereunder, including under the provisions of Article VI, or under any Ancillary Agreement or under any other arrangement between any member of the IDT Group and SPCI, then following notice of such proposed offset IDT may satisfy such amounts out of and shall have a right of off-set against any amounts then currently due to SPCI from IDT or any other member of the IDT Group hereunder or thereunder.

(b) To the extent SPCI has the right to receive any amounts hereunder, including under the provisions of Article VI, or under any Ancillary Agreement or under any other arrangement between SPCI and IDT or any other member of the IDT Group, then following notice of such proposed offset SPCI may satisfy such amounts out of and shall have a right of off-set against any amounts then currently due to IDT or any other member of the IDT Group from SPCI hereunder or thereunder.

(a) Each of IDT and SPCI agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action currently exists or is commenced by a third-party with respect to which a Party (or any member of such Party’s Group (if applicable)) is a named defendant but such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such named but not liable defendant to be removed from such Action and such defendant shall not be required to make any payments or contribution in connection therewith.

(b) IDT and SPCI shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon written request, its officers, directors, employees and agents, and the officers, directors, employees and agents of any member of its Group (if applicable), as witnesses to the extent that such individuals may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting Party or a member of its Group (if applicable) may be involved. The requesting Party shall bear all out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. On and after the Effective Time, in connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 5.01(b), the Parties will maintain any attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of any Group (if applicable) as required by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.01. SPCI Indemnification of the IDT Group.

On and after the Distribution Date, SPCI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the IDT Group, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “IDT Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by any of the IDT Indemnitees and arising out of, or due to, (a) the failure of SPCI to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, any of the SPCI Liabilities, and (b) any breach by SPCI of this Agreement.

Section 6.02. IDT Indemnification of SPCI.

On and after the Distribution Date, IDT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SPCI and its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “SPCI Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by any of the SPCI Indemnitees and arising out of, or due to, (a) the failure of IDT or any member of the IDT Group to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, any of the IDT Liabilities, and (b) any breach by IDT or any member of the IDT Group of this Agreement.

Section 6.03. Contribution.

In circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 are unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses arising thereunder, each Indemnifying Party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnifiable Losses, in proportion to the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or Parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party or Parties on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such Indemnifiable Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by SPCI or IDT, the Parties’ relative intents, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.

Section 6.04. Insurance and Third Party Obligations. No insurer or any other third party shall be, by virtue of the foregoing indemnification provisions, (a) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of such provisions, (b) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims to which it is obligated, or (c) entitled to any subrogation rights with respect to any obligation hereunder.

Section 6.05. Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts on a Net Tax Benefit Basis.

(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article VI, will (i) be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability, (ii) be net of any proceeds received by an Indemnified Party from any third party for indemnification for such Liability that actually reduce the amount of the Liability (“Third Party Proceeds”), (iii) be reduced by any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party (calculated on a with and without basis) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Liability and (iv) be increased by any Tax detriment actually incurred by the Indemnified Party (calculated on a with and without basis) as a result of the receipt or accrual of the Indemnity Payment in respect of such Liability. Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article VI to any Indemnified Party will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds, Tax benefits actually realized or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability, and shall be increased by any Tax detriments actually incurred. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment ”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

If a Tax benefit or Tax detriment is actually realized or incurred after the payment of any Indemnity Payment hereunder, the Indemnified or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall pay to the other the amount of any such Tax benefit or Tax detriment when actually realized or incurred. Adjustments will made if any such Tax benefits are disallowed or such Tax detriments are not ultimately incurred

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification and contribution provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Proceeds to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks contribution or indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided that the Indemnified Party’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

Section 6.06. Notice and Payment of Claims.

If any IDT or SPCI Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) determines that it is or may be entitled to indemnification by a Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VI (other than in connection with any Action or claim subject to Section 6.07), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification and the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified. After the Indemnifying Party shall have been notified of the amount for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, pay the Indemnified Party such amount in cash or other immediately available funds (or reach agreement with the Indemnified Party as to a mutually agreeable alternative payment schedule) unless the Indemnifying Party objects to the claim for indemnification or the amount thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to such claim and setting forth the grounds therefor within the same thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for such claim and the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights under applicable law to collect such amount.

Section 6.07. Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims.

Promptly following the earlier of (a) receipt of notice of the commencement by a third party of any Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (b) receipt of information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 6.07 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (a) acknowledge, as between the parties hereto, liability for, and at its option elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense or (b) object to the claim of indemnification set forth in the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.07 setting forth the grounds therefor; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not within the same thirty (30) day period give the Indemnified Party written notice acknowledging liability or objecting to such claim and setting forth the grounds therefor, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged, as between the parties hereto, its liability to the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. Any contest of a Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for; in all other events, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification under Article VI, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any) within 15 days after the final resolution of such Third Party Claim (whether by the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), or, in the case of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged liability, within 15 days after such Indemnifying Party’s objection has been resolved by settlement, compromise or the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time which will be rendered solely for the benefit of IDT or SPCI, as the case may be. With respect to such post-separation services, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) IDT shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the IDT Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of IDT or SPCI. IDT shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting IDT Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by IDT, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of IDT or SPCI; and

(ii) SPCI shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the SPCI Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of IDT or SPCI. SPCI shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting SPCI Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by SPCI, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of IDT or SPCI.

(c) The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 10.05, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 10.05(b). All privileges relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both IDT and SPCI in respect of which both Parties retain any responsibility or Liability under this Agreement shall be subject to a shared privilege among them.

(d) No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which any other Party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or as provided in subsections (e) or (f) below. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within twenty (20) days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent. Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to preserve any privilege held by the other Party if that privilege is a shared privilege or has been allocated to the other Party pursuant to Section 10.05(b).

(e) In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among any of the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group (if applicable) has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Group (if applicable)s, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties.

(f) If a dispute arises between the Parties or members of their Group (if applicable) regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of either Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

(g) Upon receipt by either Party or by any member of its Group (if applicable) of any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of information subject to a shared privilege or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any member of its Group (if applicable)’s current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 10.05 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged information.

(h) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of IDT and SPCI as set forth in Section 10.04 and this Section 10.05, to maintain the confidentiality of privileged information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges. Nothing provided for herein or in any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 10.06. Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Party or any member of its Group (if applicable) that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to Article VI, this Article X, or Article XI shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information.

Section 10.07. Separation of Data. SPCI acknowledges and agrees that IDT may, after the Effective Time, delete or cause to be deleted any Information which does not relate to the SPCI Business which is contained in, stored in or accessible through any Software provided to SPCI by IDT.

No waiver of any terms, provision or condition of or failure to exercise or delay in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision, condition, right or remedy or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements, constitutes the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all negotiations, prior discussions and prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.

Section 11.05. Consolidation, Merger, Etc.; Parties in Interest; Termination.

(a) Neither Party (referred to in this Section 11.05(a) as a “Transferring Party”) shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity or convey, transfer or lease all or any substantial portion of its Assets to any entity, unless, in each case, the other party to such transaction expressly assumes, by a written agreement, executed and delivered to the other Party, in form reasonably satisfactory to such other Party, all of the Liabilities of the Transferring Party under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the due and punctual performance or observance of every agreement, obligation and covenant of this Agreement and Ancillary Agreements on the part of the Transferring Party to be performed or observed.

(b) Neither of the Parties may assign its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(c) This Agreement (including Article VI hereof) may be terminated and the Distribution may be amended, modified or abandoned at any time prior to the Distribution by and in the sole discretion of IDT without the approval of SPCI or the stockholders of IDT. In the event of such termination, neither Party shall have any liability of any kind arising from such termination to the other Party or any other Person. After the Distribution, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the Parties; provided, however, that Article VI shall not be terminated or amended after the Distribution in respect of any IDT Indemnitee or SPCI Indemnitee without the consent of such Person.

Section 11.06. Further Assurances and Consents. In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such other actions as the other Party may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof and (b) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws, regulations and agreements or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents and approvals, make any filings and applications and remove any liens, claims, equity or other encumbrance on an Asset of the other Party necessary or desirable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor (except for filing fees and other similar charges) to any third party from whom such consents, approvals and amendments are requested or to take any action or omit to take any action if the taking of or the omission to take such action would be unreasonably burdensome to the Party or its Group (if applicable) or the business thereof.

Section 11.07. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 11.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state. Each of the Parties (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New Jersey or any federal court with subject matter jurisdiction located in the District of New Jersey (and any appeals court therefrom) in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby in any court other than such courts.

Section 11.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

Section 11.10. Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VI and except as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 11.11. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, it is hereby agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to provisional or temporary injunctive relief in accordance therewith in any court of the United States, this being in addition to any other remedy or relief to which they may be entitled.

Section 11.12. Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to an Indemnified Party for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, exemplary, statutorily-enhanced or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages (provided that any such liability with respect to a Third Party Claim shall be considered direct damages) arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 11.13. Force Majeure. No Party (or any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event: (a) notify the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition, and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes in its control and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 11.14. Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 11.15. Disputes.The Parties shall use good faith efforts to resolve any disputes arising out of this Agreement within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a Party’s written notice of a dispute. All disputes under this Agreement shall be referred to the Chief Operating Officer or his/her designee of IDT and the Chief Executive Office or his/her designee of SPCI. The executives shall meet as required for the purpose of resolving any pending dispute referred to them under this Agreement and shall consider the disputes in the order such disputes are brought before them. In the event that such executives are unable to resolve a dispute within thirty (30) business days (or such longer period as the executives may mutually determine), they shall submit the matter to binding arbitration according to the rules of the American Arbitration Association for commercial disputes. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, expert in matters relating to commercial law, mutually selected by the Parties. If the Parties fail to mutually agree upon one arbitrator within ten (10) days of submission of the dispute to arbitration, one will be appointed in accordance with the commercial rules and practices of the American Arbitration Association. Any award, order or judgment pursuant to such arbitration shall be deemed final and binding and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall only have the power and authority to make awards and issue orders as expressly permitted herein and shall not, in any event, make any award that provides for punitive damages. The schedule and rules for the arbitration proceedings shall be as set by the arbitrator and the arbitration proceedings shall be held in Newark, New Jersey. Each Party shall bear its own costs of participating in the arbitration proceedings, but shall share the costs of the arbitrator.
