                         REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
                         -----------------------------


     This Registration Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
                                              ---------
March 30, 2000 by and between Net2Phone, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

"Company"), and Yahoo! Inc, a Delaware corporation (the "Stockholder").
--------                                                 -----------

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

     The Company and the Stockholder have entered into a Stock Exchange
Agreement of even date herewith (the "Exchange Agreement"), which provides for
                                      ------------------
the exchange of 2,777,778 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares")
                                                                     ------
for 806,452 shares of the Stockholder's Common Stock.  In connection with the
Stockholder's execution of the Exchange Agreement, the Stockholder desires to
obtain and the Company has agreed to grant certain registration rights to the
Stockholder with respect to the Shares.

                                   AGREEMENT
                                   ---------

     The parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Registration Rights.
         -------------------

          1.1  Definitions.  For purposes of this Section 1:
               -----------

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

               (b) The term "Registrable Securities" means:
                             ----------------------

                   (i)    the Shares; and

                   (ii)   any other shares of Common Stock of the Company issued
as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other
security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to,
or in connection with a stock split, or in exchange for or in replacement of,
the Shares, excluding in all cases, however, any Registrable Securities sold by
a person in a transaction in which his or her rights under this Agreement are
not assigned; provided, however, that Common Stock or other securities shall
only be treated as Registrable Securities if and so long as they have not been
sold to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or
a public securities transaction.
<PAGE>

                (c) The term "Holder" means the Stockholder, its successors and
                             ------
assigns.

                (d) The term "SEC" means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
                             ---

          1.2   Request for Registration.
                ------------------------

                (a) If one or more of the following events shall occur: (i) the
failure of the Company and the Stockholder to enter into on or before April 30,
2000 a definitive commercial agreement (the "Commercial Agreement") pursuant to
                                             --------------------
that certain letter of intent of even date herewith between the parties hereto,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such parties, after negotiating
in good faith with the intention of completing such agreement, (ii) the
termination by Yahoo! of the Commercial Agreement following a breach of such
agreement by the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof,
or (iii) the effective date of a "Change in Control" of the Company (as defined
below), and following such occurrence, the Holder shall send to the Company a
written request that the Company file a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering the registration of any or all of the Registrable
Securities, then the Company shall use its best efforts to effect as
expeditiously as may be practicable the registration under the Securities Act of
all Registrable Securities which the Holder requests to be registered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect any
registration if the Registrable Securities that the Company shall have been
requested to register shall, in the aggregate, have a current market value of
less than (x) $5,000,000 if the Registrable Securities are to be registered on
Form S-1 (or any successor form thereto) or (y) $1,000,000 if the Registrable
Securities are to be registered on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto).
The Holder shall have the right to only one (1) registration pursuant to this
Section 1.2(a).  For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the
                                                    -----------------
Company shall mean the sale, conveyance or other disposition by the Company of
all or substantially all of its property or business or the Company's merger
with or into or consolidation with any other corporation (other than a wholly-
owned subsidiary corporation) or the consummation of any other transaction or
series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the
Company is disposed of, or the execution by the Company of any binding agreement
providing for any of the foregoing transactions: provided, however, that the
                                                 --------  --------
sale, disposition or conveyance of all or a portion of the Company's stock or
assets to, or the merger or consolidation of the Company with, AT&T Corp. or any
of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or the execution of a binding agreement
providing for the foregoing with AT&T Corp. or any of its wholly owned
subsidiaries, shall not constitute a Change in Control for purposes of this
Section 1.2.

                (b) If the Holder intends to distribute the Registrable
Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, it shall so
advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to this Section 1.2.
The underwriter will be selected by the Holder, subject to the Company's
approval, which shall not be unreasonably

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

withheld. Thereafter, the Holder and the Company shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting.

                (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish
to the Holder a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that
in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration
statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a reasonable period of time (but not more than 90 days) after receipt of the
request of the Holder (the "Demand Blackout Period").  The Company shall give
                            ----------------------
the Holder prompt written notice of any such determination to defer filing in
the form of a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company.  The
Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the expiration or earlier
termination of the Demand Blackout Period.

          1.3   Company Registration.  If (but without any obligation to do so)
                --------------------
the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration
effected by the Company for any Company stockholder other than the Holder) any
of its stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of
such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to
the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or a transaction
covered by Rule 145 under the Securities Act, a registration in which the only
stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt
securities which are also being registered, or any registration on any form
which does not include substantially the same information as would be required
to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable
Securities), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the Holder written
notice of such registration.  Upon the written request of the Holder given
within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company
shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.5, cause to be registered under
the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that the Holder has
requested to be registered.  Nothing in this Section 1.3 shall create any
liability on the part of the Company or any other person to the Holder if the
Company, for any reason, decides not to file a registration statement proposed
to be filed pursuant to this Section 1.3 or to withdraw such registration
statement subsequent to its filing (except for the Company's obligation to pay
the expenses in connection therewith as provided in Section 1.11), regardless of
any action whatsoever that the Holder may have taken, whether as a result of the
issuance by the Company of any notice under this Section 1.3. or otherwise.

          1.4   Obligations of the Company.  Whenever required under this
                --------------------------
Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

                (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

statement to become effective, and, upon the request the Holder, keep such
registration statement effective for up to 90 days (20 days in the case of a
registration statement filed on Form S-1 under the Securities Act) or such
shorter period during which the Holders complete the distribution described in
the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs.

                (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such registration statement for up to 90 days;

                (c) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed;

                (d) Furnish to the Holder participating in the registration such
reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as the Holder may
reasonably request;

                (e) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such securities or Blue Sky laws of
such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder, provided that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions;

                (f) Notify the Holder at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing, and at the request of the Holder, prepare and furnish to the
Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such
prospectuses as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such shares, such prospectuses shall not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein no misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing;

                (g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereunder not later than the effective date of
such registration.

                (h) Use best efforts to cause the transfer agent to remove
restrictive legends on certificates representing the Registrable Securities
covered by a

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

registration statement hereunder, as the Company determines to be appropriate,
upon advice of counsel;

                (i) In the event of any underwritten public offering hereunder,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. The Holder
shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement; and

                (j) Use its best efforts to furnish, at the request of the
Holder, on the date that the Registrable Securities are delivered to the
underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section
1, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such
securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the
registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an
opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and to the Holder and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the
independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance
as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and to the Holder.

          1.5   Underwriting Requirements.  In connection with any offering
                -------------------------
involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company
shall not be required under Section 1.3 to include any of the Holder's
securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by
other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such
quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company.  If the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be
included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by
the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is
compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required
to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole
discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to
the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each
selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to
by such selling stockholders).  The Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in an underwritten offering unless the Holder enters into, and performs its
obligations under, one or more underwriting agreements and any related
agreements and documents (including an escrow agreement and/or a power of
attorney with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Securities), in the
form that the Holder shall agree to with the lead managing underwriter of the
transaction.  If the Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, it may
elect, prior to the execution of any underwriting agreement, to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company and the lead managing underwriter.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

          1.6  Delay of Registration.  The Holder shall not have any right to
               ---------------------
obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration
as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

          1.7  Furnish Information.  It shall be a condition precedent to the
               -------------------
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with
respect to the Registrable Securities of the Holder that the Holder shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities
as shall be required to effect the registration of the Holder's Registrable
Securities.

          1.8  Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Securities are
               ---------------
included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

               (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless the Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Holder
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, claims, damages, or
                 ------------
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged
                            ---------
untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement,
including any final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any
state securities law; and the Company will pay, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.8(a) shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in
any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the
extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for
use in connection with such registration by such Holder or controlling person.

               (b) To the extent permitted by law, the Holder will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has
signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses,
claims, damages,

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may
become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case
to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder
expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder
will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any
person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.8(b), in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection 1.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection
1.8(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by the Holder, unless
such liability arises out of or is based on the willful conduct of the Holder.

               (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.8, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such
action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 1.8, but the omission so to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.8.

               (d) If the indemnification provided in this Section 1.8 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

               (e) The obligations of the Company and the Holder under this
Section 1.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

          1.9  Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  With a view to
               ---------------------------------------------
making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time
permit the Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

               (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times;

               (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and

               (c) furnish to the Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144,
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed
by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
in availing the Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the
selling of any such securities without registration.

          1.10  Assignment of Registration Rights.  The rights to cause the
                ---------------------------------
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be
assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of all of the Holder's
Registrable Securities, provided the Company is, within a reasonable time after
such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being assigned; and provided, further, that such
assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the
further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the Securities Act.

          1.11  Expenses of Registration.
                ------------------------

                (a) Demand Registration.  All expenses other than underwriting
                    -------------------
discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Section 1.2, including (without limitation) all
registration,

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the Holder shall be borne by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any
--------  -------
expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 if the
registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holder,
unless, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holder has learned of a material
adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that
known to the Holder at the time of its request and has withdrawn the request
with reasonable promptness upon obtaining knowledge of such material adverse
change.

                (b) Company Registration.  All expenses other than underwriting
                    --------------------
discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1.3 for the Holder,
including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees,
printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company
and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holder selected
by it with the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, shall be borne by the Company.

          1.12  Termination of Registration Rights.  The rights granted under
                ----------------------------------
this Section 1 shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) two years following the
date of this Agreement, or (b)  at such time as the Holder may sell all of its
Registrable Securities in any single three month period pursuant to Rule 144 (or
such successor rule as may be adopted).

     2.  Miscellaneous.
         -------------

          2.1  Amendments and Waivers.  Any term of this Agreement may be
