1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined below), and in accordance with the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”).

1.2 Closing. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and Parent, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 A.M.

1.3 Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with, and accepted by, the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by the parties in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective being herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation and the separate corporate existence of the Company shall continue unaffected by the Merger.

1.5 The Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (the “Charter”), except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be Straight Path Communications Inc., until duly amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

1.6 The By-Laws. At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the parties hereto, the by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation (the “By-Laws”), except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be Straight Path Communications Inc., until duly amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

1.7 Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto shall take all actions necessary so that the officers and the board of directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Charter and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each director and officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time to deliver to Parent signed resignation letters effective as of the Effective Time.

ARTICLE II

Consideration; Effect of the Merger On Capital Stock; Exchange of Certificates

2.1 Consideration; Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company or any capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and fully outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Merger Consideration. Each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company and each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (each, a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent, and Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties (each such Share, an “Excluded Share” and collectively, “Excluded Shares”)) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid in and nonassessable Parent Shares equal to the quotient determined by dividing $184.00 (“Per Share Amount”) by the Parent Share Value and rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a Share (which consideration shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate” it being understood that any reference herein to a “Certificate” shall be deemed to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of Shares) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares), and each book-entry account statement relating to the ownership of Shares (other than Excluded Shares), shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.

(c) Treatment of Excluded Shares. Except as provided in the second sentence of this Section 2.1(c), each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of such Excluded Share, cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist. Each Excluded Share held by Merger Sub or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent or the Company shall remain outstanding and be unaffected by the Merger.

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company with the Company’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates and book-entry shares for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Parent shall pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the retention and engagement.

(b) Deposit. Following the Effective Time, Parent agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, any Parent Shares sufficient to pay any Per Share Merger Consideration that may be payable from time to time following the Effective Time. All Parent Shares deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Per Share Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II out of the Exchange Fund.

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)) to the Exchange Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)) to the Exchange Agent. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(g)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor one or more Parent Shares which shall represent, in the aggregate, the whole number of Parent Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b), less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(h). The Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Parent Shares to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(d) No Further Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(h)) that number of Parent Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by the Certificate multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(h)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Parent Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or cancellation of In-the-Money Options. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Shares converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share (after taking into account all Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) delivered by such holder) shall be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(f), a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares representing such holder’s proportionate interest, if any, in the proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent (reduced by any fees of the Exchange Agent attributable to such sale) (as so reduced, the “share proceeds”) in one or more transactions of a number of Parent Shares, such number equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate number of Parent Shares to be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) over (ii) the aggregate number of whole Parent Shares to be distributed to the holders of Certificates pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (such excess being the “Excess Shares”). The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash share proceeds in lieu of issuing certificates or scrip for fractional shares was not separately bargained for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of the certificates representing Parent Shares that would otherwise receive fractional shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the NYSE in the manner provided in this Section 2.2(f) and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the share proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of such Shares, or the Exchange Fund is terminated, the Exchange Agent shall hold such share proceeds in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Shares (the “Fractional Share Proceeds”). The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of the Fractional Share Proceeds to which each holder of such Shares shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate share proceeds comprising the Fractional Share Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of such Shares would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of such Shares would otherwise be entitled.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, (i) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and (ii) if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue the Per Share Merger Consideration such Person has a right to receive pursuant to Article II (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(h)).

(h) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or In-the-Money Options such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.3 Treatment of Incentive Equity.

(a) Company Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option, whether vested or unvested, to purchase Shares that was granted under the 2013 Plan (each such option, a “Company Option”) shall be terminated and cancelled. The holder of a Company Option having an exercise price that is less than the Per Share Amount, (such Company Option, an “In-the-Money Option”) shall be entitled to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a number of Parent Shares equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Amount over (y) the per-Share exercise price for the Shares that would have been issuable upon exercise of such In-the-Money Option (with the understanding that, for purposes of this clause, if there are different exercise prices for different In-the-Money Options held by the same holder, separate calculations shall be made for each exercise price), by (ii) the Parent Share Value and rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a Share. The holder of any such Company Option that is not an In-the-Money Option shall have no further rights or entitlements with respect thereto. Parent shall pay to each holder of In-the-Money Options cash in lieu of fractional shares to which such holder would be entitled pursuant to this Section 2.3(a); provided that the calculation of the amount of such fractional shares shall be determined on an aggregate basis taking into account all In-the-Money Option grants held by such holder.

(b) Company Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, each vested and unvested share of restricted stock granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such share, a share of “Company Restricted Stock”) shall be terminated and cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of each such share of Company Restricted Stock to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(h)).

(d) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the Compensation Committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.3(a), Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be (i) bound by any options, stock appreciation rights or other rights to receive equity of the Company, whether under the 2013 Plan or otherwise, or (ii) required to deliver Shares or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Option or share of Company Restricted Stock.

2.4 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall have been changed after the date hereof into a different number of Shares or securities or a different class as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend, stock distribution, recapitalization, merger (other than the Merger), issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties of the Company

Except as set forth (a) in the Company Reports filed with or furnished to the SEC after the Applicable Date and prior to the date of this Agreement to the extent that the qualifying nature of such disclosure with respect to a specific representation and warranty is readily apparent (excluding, in each case, any risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” any disclosure of risks included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature) or (b) in the corresponding Sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to Parent by the Company prior to entering into this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any Section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other Section or subsection to which the relevance of such item is readily apparent), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in such good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has provided to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement correct and complete copies of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ certificates of incorporation and by-laws or comparable governing documents, each as amended to the date of this Agreement, and each as so delivered is in full force and effect.

3.2 Capital Structure.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 2,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, of which 787,163 shares were outstanding as of the close of business on May 8, 2017, (ii) 40,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, of which 11,950,553 shares were outstanding as of the close of business on May 8, 2017, and of which 374,375 shares constituted shares of Company Restricted Stock and 39,693 shares are held by the Company in its treasury, and (iii) 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of which no Preferred Shares are outstanding. All of the outstanding Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. As of May 8, 2017, an aggregate of 96,361 Company Options were outstanding with respect to shares of Class B common stock. From the close of business on May 8, 2017 through the date of this Agreement, there have been no issuances or grants of shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock (other than pursuant to the exercise of the Company Options referred to in the immediately preceding sentence as outstanding at the close of business on May 8, 2017 or the Initial Warrants), Company Restricted Stock, Preferred Shares or Company Options. The Company has no shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, preferred stock or shares of any other class or series of capital stock reserved for issuance or subject to issuance, except that as of May 8, 2017, there were an aggregate of 64,033 shares of Class B common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to Company Options and Company Restricted Stock under the 2013 Plan. Each of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and owned by the Company or by a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, free and clear of any Encumbrance or other restriction or limitation (including any limitations on the right to vote or transfer any such shares). There are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options (other than Company Options), warrants, conversion rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding. The Company does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, indebtedness, notes or other obligations (x) the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of the Company on any matter or (y) that are required to be registered under the Exchange Act. Section 3.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and correct list as of May 8, 2017, of the outstanding Company Options and Company Restricted Stock and all warrants and other options, contracts or rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including the holder, date of grant, term, number of shares, exercise price and vesting schedule. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has issued any stock appreciation rights, “phantom” stock rights or other similar rights.

(b) Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth (i) each of the Company’s Subsidiaries and the ownership interest of the Company in each such Subsidiary, as well as the ownership interest of any other Person or Person in each such Subsidiary and (ii) the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ capital stock, equity interest or other direct or indirect ownership interest in any other Person other than securities in a publicly traded company held for investment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and consisting of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of such company.

(c) Each Company Option (i) was granted in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws and all of the terms and conditions of the 2013 Plan, (ii) has an exercise price or reference price per Share equal to or greater than the fair market value of a Share on the date of such grant, and (iii) complies in all material respects with Section 409A of the Code.

(d) Except as expressly contemplated by the Voting Agreement, there are no voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the voting of the capital stock or other equity interest of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.3 Corporate Authority; Approval and Fairness.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, constitute or result in

(a) The Company has filed or furnished, as applicable, on a timely basis, all forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, or the Securities Act, since December 31, 2014 (the “Applicable Date”) (the forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents filed or furnished since the Applicable Date and those filed or furnished subsequent to the date of this Agreement, including any amendments thereto, the “Company Reports”). Each of the Company Reports, at the time of its filing or being furnished complied or, if not yet filed or furnished, will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company Reports.

The Company maintains internal control over all material financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the Exchange Act). Such internal control over material financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in all material respects. The Company has disclosed, based on the most recent evaluation of its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (i) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of its internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and has identified for the Company’s auditors and audit committee of the Company Board any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Since the Applicable Date, no material complaints from any source regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and no concerns from Company employees regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, have been received by the Company.

(d) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Company Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects, or, in the case of Company Reports filed after the date of this Agreement, will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Company Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects, or in the case of Company Reports filed after the date of this Agreement, will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated results of operations, retained earnings (loss) and changes in financial position, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to the absence of notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that will not be material in amount or effect), in each case in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein or in the notes thereto. There are no material off-balance sheet arrangements of any type required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K that have not been so described in the Company Reports filed prior to the date hereof nor any obligations to enter into any such arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC or its staff.

To the Knowledge of the Company, no event, condition or circumstance exists or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would exist that would constitute a breach of, or default under, the terms and conditions of any FCC License or the FCC Consent Decree that would preclude any FCC License from being renewed in the ordinary course (to the extent that such FCC License is renewable by its terms) or could reasonably be expected to place such FCC License at risk of suspension, revocation, cancellation, termination, forfeiture or modification.

The consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby will not cause the FCC to impose any unjust enrichment penalties pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.2111.

(d) Except as would not be material to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, none of the FCC Licenses has been modified by the Company or its Subsidiaries in any respect.

ARTICLE IV

Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub

Except as set forth (a) in the Parent Reports filed with or furnished to the SEC after the Applicable Date and prior to the date of this Agreement to the extent that the qualifying nature of such disclosure with respect to a specific representation and warranty is readily apparent (excluding, in each case, any risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” any disclosure of risks included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature) or (b) the corresponding Sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to the Company by Parent prior to entering into this Agreement (the “Parent Disclosure Letter”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any Section or subsection of the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other Section or subsection to which the relevance of such item is readily apparent), Parent and Merger Sub each hereby represent and warrant to the Company as follows:

4.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in such good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent has made available to the Company a complete and correct copy of the organizational documents of each of Parent and Merger Sub, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

4.2 Capital Stock of Parent. Each Parent Share issued or transferred as part of the Per Share Merger Consideration has been or will be when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Parent Reports and excluding any rights issued under the employee benefit plans of Parent, (a) there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate Parent to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of Parent or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or that give any Person the right to receive any economic or voting interest of a nature accruing to the holders of Parent Shares, and (b) Parent does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of Parent on any matter.

4.3 Corporate Authority. No vote of holders of capital stock of Parent is necessary to approve this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite power and authority and has taken all action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Voting Agreement and to consummate the Merger. This Agreement and the Voting Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming this Agreement and the Voting Agreement constitute valid and binding agreements of the other parties hereto, constitute valid and binding agreements of Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

4.4 Parent Reports; Financial Statements.

(a) Parent has filed or furnished, as applicable, on a timely basis, all forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, or the Securities Act, since the Applicable Date (the forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents filed or furnished since the Applicable Date and those filed or furnished subsequent to the date of this Agreement, including any amendments thereto, the “Parent Reports”). Each of the Parent Reports, at the time of its filing or being furnished, complied or, if not yet filed or furnished, will comply, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the Parent Reports. As of their respective dates (or, if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment), the Parent Reports did not, and any Parent Reports filed with or furnished to the SEC subsequent to the date of this Agreement will 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

(b) Parent is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the NYSE.

(c) Parent has established and maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by Parent in periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Parent maintains internal control over all material financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the Exchange Act). Such internal control over material financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in all material respects. Parent has disclosed, based on the most recent evaluation of its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer prior to the date of this Agreement, to Parent’s auditors and the audit committee of the Parent Board (i) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of its internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and has identified for Parent’s auditors and audit committee of the Parent Board any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Parent Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects, or, in the case of Parent Reports filed after the date of this Agreement, will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Parent Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects, or in the case of Parent Reports filed after the date of this Agreement, will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated results of operations, retained earnings (loss) and changes in financial position, as the case may be, of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to the absence of notes and normal year-end audit adjustments that will not be material in amount or effect), in each case in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein or in the notes thereto. There are no material off-balance sheet arrangements of any type required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K that have not been so described in the Parent Reports filed prior to the date hereof nor any obligations to enter into any such arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC or its staff.

4.5 Governmental Filings; No Violations; Etc.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Voting Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub do not, and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Merger, the other transactions contemplated hereby and by the Voting Agreement will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Parent and Merger Sub, or (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) or default under, the creation or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of an Encumbrance on any of the assets of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, any Contract binding upon Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any Laws to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, except, in the case of clause (ii) above, for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Fiduciary Exception to Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.2(d), following receipt of a written Acquisition Proposal by the Company after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.2 and the Company Board determining in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the time the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, make a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.2(e)(ii), or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, only if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Acquisition Proposal), and shall have contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the Alternative Acquisition Agreement and all other documents (other than immaterial documents) related to the Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional three (3) Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect a Change in Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(b) in order to enter into the Alternative Acquisition Agreement, as applicable, and (B) prior to making such a Change in Recommendation or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(b), as applicable, (x) to the extent requested by Parent in good faith, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent during such notice period to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the Alternative Acquisition Agreement ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make a Change in Recommendation and/or to effect such a termination in accordance with Section 7.3(b), the Board of Directors of the Company shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent and any other information provided by Parent in response to such notice; and

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed by Parent, such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such Change in Recommendation or to so terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(b), as applicable, would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.2(d), upon the occurrence of any Intervening Event, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the time the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, make a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(c), or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, only if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Intervening Event and the rationale for the Change in Recommendation or the decision to terminate this Agreement, as the case may be, and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement and (B) prior to making such a Change in Recommendation or terminating this Agreement, to the extent requested by Parent in good faith, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent during such ten (10) Business Day notice period to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the failure of the Company Board to make a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in response to the Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that in light of such Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed by Parent, the failure to make a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Limits on Release of Standstill and Confidentiality. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to fail to enforce any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action is reasonably necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the Company promptly advises Parent that it is taking such action and the identity of the party or parties with respect to which it is taking such action; and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not restrict the Company from permitting a Person to orally request the waiver of a “standstill” or similar obligation to the extent necessary to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(h) Compliance with Certain Laws. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from taking actions to the extent required by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, that (i) if such disclosure has the effect or substantive effect of withholding, withdrawing, qualifying or modifying the Company Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Change in Recommendation and Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 7.4(a) and (ii) in no event shall the Company take, or agree or resolve to take, any such action other than in compliance with this Section 5.2.

5.3 Preparation of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and keep the Form S-4 effective for so long as necessary to consummate the Merger, this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act in order to allow the Stockholders Meeting to occur within forty-five (45) days following the date on which the Form S-4 was declared effective. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Form S-4 will be made by Parent, and no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be made by the Company or Parent, in each case without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

(b) The parties shall notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments from the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) and of any request by the Staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 or for additional information and shall supply each other with copies of (i) all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Form S-4, the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) all orders of the SEC relating to the Form S-4. Each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the Staff with respect to the Form S-4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or responding to any comments of the Staff with respect thereto, each party (i) shall provide the other parties with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and (ii) shall include in such document or response all comments reasonably proposed by the other parties.

5.4 Stockholders Meeting. The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its certificate of incorporation and by-laws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of holders of Shares (the “Stockholders Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement, and shall not postpone, recess or adjourn such meeting except to the extent required by Law or, if as of the time for which the Stockholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to adopt this Agreement or to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders Meeting. The Company Board shall take all lawful action to solicit such adoption of this Agreement and, subject to Sections 5.2(e) and 5.2(f), shall recommend such adoption. In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Company Board makes a Change in Recommendation, the Company nevertheless shall submit this Agreement to the holders of the Shares for adoption at the Stockholders Meeting unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Stockholders Meeting. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required by Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Stockholders Meeting.

5.5 Reorganization Transactions. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall execute and deliver to Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to the Company, certificates substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit C and Exhibit D at such time or times as may reasonably be requested by such law firm in connection with its delivery of the tax opinion referred to in Section 6.3(c).

Parent shall cause (i) such service to apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods or evidence of insurability requirements and (ii) each Parent Plan to waive pre-existing condition limitations for employees (and their beneficiaries and covered dependents) participating in such plan to the extent waived or not applicable under the applicable Benefit Plan.

In the event the Company Termination Fee is paid to Parent in circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant hereto, payment of such Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future stockholders, directors, officers, employees, advisors or Affiliates for any damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach of or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company Termination Fee shall not be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent or Merger Sub in the event that the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are a result of the Company’s material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.

(f) The Company and Parent each acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 7.5(c) (i) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) without these agreements, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) any amount payable pursuant to Section 7.5(c) does not constitute a penalty; accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to Section 7.5(c) and, in order to obtain such payment or performance, the Company commences a suit that results in a judgment against Parent for the fee set forth in Section 7.5(c) or any portion of such fee, Parent shall pay to the Company its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made from the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

8.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 5.13 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), Parent and the Company hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other party hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The parties hereto further agree that the rights of third party beneficiaries under Section 5.13 shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs.

8.9 Obligations of Parent and of the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. For purposes of ensuring that the transactions contemplated hereby are not subject to approval by Parent’s stockholders under the rules of the NYSE or the NASDAQ, the parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall not require the issuance of an aggregate number of Parent Shares representing more than 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Parent as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date.

8.10 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Merger shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation when due.

8.11 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

8.12 Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Agreement. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(b) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) The Company has or may have set forth information in the Company Disclosure Letter in a Section of the Company Disclosure Letter that corresponds to the Section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter to this Agreement shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

8.13 Assignment.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void.

8.14 Specific Performance.

Ex-A-10

5.9 Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Agreement. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

5.10 Trust Capacity. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein by the Trust are made solely with respect to the Trust and the Covered Shares.

SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS¹

Settlement Consideration and Release:

Straight Path Communications Inc. (“Straight Path”) and IDT Corporation (“IDT”) to execute a Settlement Agreement to provide for, among other things, the following steps to be completed as soon as practicable and no later than 45 days following the date of the Settlement Agreement (the “Closing Date”):

1. IDT to pay Straight Path (including on behalf of its subsidiaries) $16 million in cash, comprised of (i) $10 million (along with the Contingent Payment Rights described below) as a settlement of claims asserted against IDT by Straight Path and (ii) $6 million in cash in exchange for the Current Patent Portfolio (described below);

2. All shareholders of Straight Path IP Group, Inc. (“Existing SPIP”) to transfer all of their Existing SPIP shares to a newly formed Delaware corporation (“New SPIP”) in exchange for identical New SPIP shares, followed by a conversion of Existing SPIP to a Delaware limited liability company (“SPIP LLC”). Following the conversion, (i) the equity capital structure of SPIP LLC to be recapitalized to include the Contingent Payment Right (as described below), and (ii) SPIP LLC to transfer to New SPIP those assets and liabilities not utilized in connection with the Current Patent Portfolio (described below) and the assertion of rights in connection therewith (SPIP LLC to be a disregarded entity and then taxable as a partnership);

3. New SPIP to transfer the Contingent Payment Right to Straight Path in redemption of a corresponding amount of New SPIP shares held by Straight Path;

4. Straight Path to transfer its remaining New SPIP shares to IDT (or a designee or assignee of IDT);

5. Straight Path and IDT to execute mutual general releases of claims, including but not limited to indemnification claims relating to any FCC investigation or consent decree, class action, derivative action or any other claim, threatened or otherwise, known or unknown, arising from any action by the other party, its affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, officers or directors; provided that such release does not release either party’s obligations under the Tax Separation Agreement between IDT and Straight Path, dated July 31, 2013.

The payment of the settlement consideration under paragraph 1, subclause (i) above to be reported as a tax-free contribution to capital by IDT to Straight Path effective prior to the spin-off.

NTD: This settlement structure is subject to tax review and satisfactory completion of due diligence on the IP claims.

Ex-B-1

Straight Path IP Group:

IDT and SPIP LLC agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assert all patent rights, including all ownership, license, or other rights in the patents held by SPIP LLC at the Effective Time (the “Current Patent Portfolio”).

IDT, its affiliate, subsidiary, or assignee to agree to provide $20 million in cash or services to SPIP LLC (directly or through New SPIP) to be used for prosecuting and asserting the Current Patent Portfolio, except if the relevant patents or claims are held to be invalid or the lawsuits may not be asserted in a commercially reasonable manner. No more than $5 million of services shall be provided directly by IDT employees or executives without the approval by the Trust (described below), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

SPIP LLC (and any successor) to have the sole purpose of holding, defending and prosecuting the Current Patent Portfolio (and making the payments described herein).

SPIP LLC shall not, and IDT shall not cause SPIP LLC to, sell, transfer or assign all or any part of SPIP LLC's interest in the Current Patent Portfolio to any IDT affiliate or subsidiary, or to any person who is a director, officer or employee of IDT or any of its affiliates and subsidiaries, or where such transaction would otherwise constitute a related party transaction, unless (i) the Trust consents to the proposed sale, transfer or assignment, or (ii) the Current Patent Portfolio remains subject to the Contingent Payment Right.

Ex-B-2

Contingent Payment Right:	A membership interest in the SPIP LLC which is entitled to distributions of any revenue with respect to the Current Patent Portfolio reasonably promptly following the receipt of such revenue equal to 22% of any “Net Recovery.” For the sake of clarity, in the event of a sale or assignment of IDT’s interest in New SPIP or SPIP LLC, the proceeds of such sale or assignment shall belong entirely to IDT, and the parties hereto have no Contingent Payment Right with respect to such proceeds. “Net Recovery” means all revenue received by SPIP LLC as the result of any license, transfer, or assignment of any part of the Current Patent Portfolio, or any settlement, award, or judgment involving any part of the Current Patent Portfolio, less out-of-pocket third party fees, expenses and costs actually incurred by SPIP LLC or IDT, and the reasonable services provided by IDT its employees or executives, after the Effective Date (including any payment made to law firms and other vendors following the Effective Date regardless of when those payments were earned) in patent prosecution or patent litigation (if any) related to the settlement award or judgment resulting in such revenue, including but not limited to any attorneys’ fees, consultant or court costs, fees of experts and other costs and expenses related to the assertion of the patent rights. Net Recovery to be subject to verification through an audit procedure, not to be exercised more than once per year (the cost of which shall be paid by the Trust).
Trust:²	Straight Path to form a trust (the “Trust”) and transfer the Contingent Payment Right to such trust in exchange for a single class of beneficial interests in such trust. If the independent directors of Straight Path immediately prior to the Effective Time are not the initial trustees of such trust, any replacement trustees must be third parties who had no involvement whatsoever in resolving the disputes underlying this settlement agreement and must be approved by IDT, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The trust interests will be non-transferable and non-assignable, in whole or in part. The interests will not be registered as securities under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Straight Path to fund the trust in the amount of $4.5 million to pay all expenses of the trust, including administration expenses, compensation, fees and expenses of the trustees, indemnification amounts, insurance premiums, and fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants and other experts retained by, or at the direction of, the trustees. IDT to have no responsibility for any expenses of the trust. The trust is intended to be classified as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Distribution to Straight Path Stockholders:	Straight Path to distribute the trust interests to Straight Path stockholders as a special dividend prior to the Closing Date.

Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Re:

Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), dated as of [ ], by and among Verizon Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Parent”), Waves Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Straight Path Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Straight Path”).

In connection with the opinion to be delivered by Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP pursuant to Section 6.3(c) of the Agreement (the “Tax Opinion”), and recognizing that Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP will rely on this certificate in delivering such opinion, Straight Path hereby certifies, after due inquiry and investigation, that the following statements and representations are, to the extent relating to Straight Path (and to the extent otherwise without reason to believe to the contrary), true, correct, and complete as of the date hereof and will continue to be true, correct, and complete as of the Effective Time,¹and thereafter where relevant:

Straight Path has no outstanding equity interests other than the Shares, Company Options, Warrants and Company Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, Straight Path will not have outstanding any warrants, options, convertible securities, or any other type of right pursuant to which, following the Merger, any person could acquire an interest in Straight Path (or any successor of Straight Path).

The consideration to be issued in the Merger to the stockholders of Straight Path was determined on the basis of arm’s-length negotiation among the parties. The fair market value of the Per Share Merger Consideration and any other consideration to be received by each stockholder of Straight Path will be approximately equal to the fair market value of each Share surrendered in the Merger.

¹Any capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning given to such term in the Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, all “Section” references herein are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all “Treas. Reg. §” references are to the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.

Ex-C-1

In the Merger, all Shares will be exchanged solely for Parent Shares. For purposes of this representation, Shares redeemed or exchanged for cash or other property provided, directly or indirectly, by Parent will be treated as outstanding Shares at the Effective Time and as acquired by Parent.

Prior to and in connection with, or in contemplation of, the Merger or otherwise as part of a plan of which the Merger is a part, no outstanding Shares have been or will be (i) redeemed by Straight Path, (ii) acquired by a person related to Straight Path (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.368-1(e)(4)) (a “Straight Path Related Person”) or (iii) the subject of any distribution by Straight Path that is treated as other property or money received in the Merger for purposes of Section 356 or would be so treated if the holder of Shares also received stock of Parent in exchange for such stock of Straight Path, other than possibly the distributions pursuant to the IP Group Sale and Trust Distribution. Neither Straight Path nor any Straight Path Related Person has paid or will pay, in connection with the Merger or otherwise as part of a plan of which the Merger is a part, any amount to, or on behalf of, any stockholder of Straight Path in connection with any sale, redemption or other disposition of any Shares or Parent Shares. For purposes of this representation and representation 17: (i) any reference to Straight Path or Parent includes a reference to any successor or predecessor of such corporation, except that Straight Path is not treated as a predecessor of Parent and Parent is not treated as a successor of Straight Path; (ii) each partner of a partnership will be treated as owning or acquiring any stock owned or acquired, as the case may be, by the partnership (and as having paid any consideration paid by the partnership to acquire such stock) in accordance with that partner’s interest in the partnership; and (iii) an acquisition of Parent Shares or Shares by a person acting as an intermediary for, or pursuant to any transaction, agreement, arrangement or other understanding with, Parent, Straight Path, a Parent Related Person (defined below) or a Straight Path Related Person will be treated as made by Parent, Straight Path, such Parent Related Person or such Straight Path Related Person, respectively.

In connection with the Merger, Straight Path has not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of any of its assets as would prevent Parent or members of its qualified group (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.368-1(d)(4)(ii)) from continuing the “historic business” of Straight Path or using a “significant portion” of Straight Path’s “historic business assets” in a business, as such terms are used in Treas. Reg. § 1.368-1(d), after the Merger.

Ex-C-2

After the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will hold (i) at least 90 percent of the fair market value of the net assets and at least 70 percent of the fair market value of the gross assets held by Straight Path immediately prior to the Merger and (ii) to the knowledge of Straight Path, at least 90 percent of the fair market value of the net assets and at least 70 percent of the fair market value of the gross assets held by Merger Sub immediately prior to the Merger. For purposes of this representation, the following amounts will be treated as assets of Straight Path or Merger Sub, as applicable, held immediately prior to the Merger: amounts (i) used (or to be used) by Straight Path or Merger Sub to pay Merger expenses, (ii) paid (or to be paid) by Straight Path or Merger Sub to redeem stock, securities, warrants, or options of Straight Path as part of any overall plan of which the Merger is a part, (iii) used (or to be used) to repay debt, other than any debt that is refinanced in connection with the Merger, and (iv) distributed (or to be distributed) by Straight Path or Merger Sub to the stockholders of Straight Path (except for regular, normal dividends) as part of any overall plan of which the Merger is a part, including for this purpose, distributions pursuant to the IP Group Sale and Trust Distribution. Neither Straight Path nor, to the knowledge of Straight Path, Merger Sub, has disposed of any assets prior to the Merger which disposition was made in contemplation of, or as part of, the Merger, other than possibly the distributions pursuant to the IP Group Sale and Trust Distribution.

The sale of stock of [New SPIP] pursuant to the IP Group Sale and Trust Distribution was for consideration approximately equal to the fair market value of such stock.

Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, Parent, Straight Path, Merger Sub and the stockholders of Straight Path will pay their respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the Merger.

Straight Path is not (A) an investment company as defined in Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) or (B) under the jurisdiction of a court in a title 11 or similar case within the meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A).

10.

There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between Parent (or any of its subsidiaries, including Merger Sub), on the one hand, and Straight Path (or any of its subsidiaries), on the other hand, that was issued, acquired or will be settled at a discount.

11.

In the Merger, no liabilities of the Straight Path stockholders will be assumed by Parent or Merger Sub, nor to the best of the knowledge of the management of Straight Path will any Shares be subject to any liabilities.

12.

On the date of the Merger, the fair market value of the assets of Straight Path will exceed the sum of its liabilities, plus the amount of liabilities, if any, to which its assets are subject.

13.

The liabilities of Straight Path and the liabilities to which its assets are subject were incurred by Straight Path in the ordinary course of its business and are associated with the assets transferred.

14.

Ex-C-3

15.

The Merger is being effected for bona fide business reasons, as described in the Form S-4 filed in connection with the Merger, including the Proxy Statement/Prospectus contained therein as a prospectus, and not for the purposes of tax avoidance.

16.

The information relating to the Merger and all related transactions (including, but not limited to, all representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings) set forth in the Agreement and the Form S-4 filed in connection with the Merger, including the Proxy Statement/Prospectus contained therein as a prospectus, insofar as such information relates to Straight Path, or the plans or intentions of Straight Path set forth in the Agreement or the Form S-4 (including the Proxy Statement/Prospectus), is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

17.

The Agreement represents the full and complete agreement between Straight Path, Parent and Merger Sub regarding the Merger, and there are no other written or oral agreements regarding the Merger other than those expressly referred to in the Agreement.

18.

To the Knowledge of Straight Path, in connection with or in contemplation of the Merger, no Shares will be acquired by Parent, any person related to Parent (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.368-1(e)(4) (a “Parent Related Person”)) or any person acting as agent or intermediary for any of them for any consideration other than the Merger Consideration. To the Knowledge of Straight Path, neither Parent nor any Parent Related Person has any plan, intention, obligation, agreement or understanding to, and will not in connection with the Merger, directly or indirectly redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any of the Parent Shares issued to Straight Path stockholders in the Merger.

19.

To the Knowledge of Straight Path, no holder of Shares acted as an agent for Parent in connection with the Merger or approval thereof.

20.

Straight Path will report the Merger for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will not take a position on any federal, state or local income or franchise tax return, or take any other reporting position, that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a), unless otherwise required by a final “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a)(1)), or by applicable state or local income or franchise tax law. Straight Path has no plan or intention to take, or cause or permit its subsidiaries to take, any action that would be reasonably likely to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a).

21.

Straight Path is a corporation within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3).

22.

The individual executing this letter is authorized to make all of the representations set forth herein on behalf of Straight Path.

Straight Path understands that Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, as special counsel to Straight Path, has not undertaken to verify independently, and has not verified, the facts providing the basis of this letter, nor has such firm been asked to do so. The undersigned recognizes that the Tax Opinion will be based on the representations set forth herein and on the statements contained in the Agreement and documents related thereto. The Tax Opinion will be subject to certain limitations and qualifications, including that they may not be relied upon if any such representations or statements are not accurate in all respects. Straight Path will promptly inform you in writing if, at or prior to the Effective Time, any of such statements or representations become untrue or incorrect.

The consideration to be issued in the Merger to the stockholders of Straight Path was determined on the basis of arm’s length negotiation among the parties. The fair market value of the Per Share Merger Consideration and any other consideration to be received by each stockholder of Straight Path will be approximately equal to the fair market value of each Share surrendered in the Merger.

Parent has no plan or intention to sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of Straight Path deemed acquired in the Merger, except for dispositions made in the ordinary course of business or transfers described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) or Treas. Reg. § 1.368-2(k).
