Schedule 5.4
ISO Interface Responsibilities
BP will serve as the Principal Account Holder within the NYISO and PJM control area on behalf of IDT pursuant to this Agreement. In the capacity of these roles for IDT, BP will be responsible for the following ISO/RTO activities:
ISO/RTO Communications
| i. | Maintain facilities and personnel required to coordinate operations with the ISO. |
| ii. | Serve as the sole authorized communicator with the ISO for bidding, scheduling, tagging and settling transactions related to IDT’s load obligations. |
| iii. | Serve as the Authorized Security Administrator (CAM) to access the NYISO MIS and PJM eSuite applications on behalf of IDT’s load. |
| iv. | Comply with the ISO directive (under an emergency condition or otherwise) that may require BP to modify an IDT schedule. |
Credit and Settlements
| i. | Maintain sufficient credit with the ISO to transact on IDT’s behalf. |
| ii. | Timely payment of bona fide ISO invoices applicable to transactions conducted for IDT’s account. |
| iii. | Submission of invoices to IDT for all ISO settlement charges, accounting adjustments or resettlements, and credits related to IDT’s load transactions and obligations, including but not limited to energy, ancillary services, installed Capacity, auction revenue rights, and load related charges, make-whole payments assigned to loads for reliability services, day-ahead market purposes and other such charges. |
| iv. | Submission of invoices to IDT regarding any resettlement of transactions related to IDT’s load obligation pursuant to this Agreement, BP reserves the right to pass-through the rebilled charges and/or credits to IDT. |
| v. | The NYISO settlement system does not allow for multiple settlement accounts associated with a single legal entity. As such, for any settlement charge types that are not reported to BP by the NYISO at IDT’s Load Asset ID or can not be directly attributed to IDT’s load obligation, BP will pass-through to IDT in a relatively proportionate to IDT’s load obligation. Similarly, BP shall pass any credit through to IDT in a relatively proportionate amount to IDT’s load obligation. |
| vi. | The PJM eSuite system does have separate participant accounts, such that all charges and credits that are directly attributed to IDT’s activity is passed thru to IDT. |
| vii. | If BP receives the ISO short pay due to a market participant default in the ISO in which BP has established stand alone settlement accounts for IDT’s transaction, BP will completely pass through the same ISO short pay to IDT in accordance with the relevant tariff or ISO rules and procedures. If BP is made whole by the ISO at some future date, then BP will completely pass through the same make whole amount. The exception to this is in reference to NYISO where a stand alone settlement account will not be utilized. If the NYISO is to short pay BP on an invoice, BP will use commercially reasonable means to mimic the same short pay methodology used by the ISO for IDT’s transactions. |
| viii. | File, but not necessarily initiate, all commercially reasonable billing disputes with the ISO on IDT’s behalf. |

Regulatory
| i. | IDT is responsible for its own regulatory or legislative monitoring, participation and advocacy to protect its interests. For clarification, BP is not responsible for communicating any regulatory, market rule, tariff change, NERC issues and standards, or RTO ISO stakeholder meetings or other such committee and working group information to IDT. IDT remains responsible for its own regulatory advocacy and interpretation. |
| ii. | Nothing herein shall limit IDT’s rights to participate as a Market Participant in the ISO/RTO or NERC meeting or any regulatory proceeding to protect its interests. For clarification, if BP participates in the ISO/RTO or NERC meeting or regulatory meeting, BP shall vote independently to protect its interests without any obligation to coordinate its vote with IDT or its Affiliates. |
| iii. | IDT will be responsible for any required state, federal or regional reports applicable to its licenses and business interests. For clarification, nothing herein shall obligate BP, as scheduling entity, to prepare or submit any regulatory or governmental reports including, but not limited to, IDT’s FERC Electronic Quarterly Reporting (EQR), ERCOT PUCT transactions report, or IDT’s Renewable Energy Credit (REC) reports. |
IDT, as the Load-Serving Entity underneath a BP ISO Account ID, will be responsible for the following activities:
| i. | Provide timely load forecast data, demand bids, virtual transactions, bilateral transactions, energy schedules, Capacity requirements, auction revenue right nominations and bilateral ancillary service transactions with a third party and other such data requirements to BP so that BP is able to meet the ISO’s applicable day-ahead and real-time scheduling deadlines. |
| ii. | Maintain the appropriate state licensing requirement as a Retail Energy Provider (REP) or Load-Serving Entity serving retail customers within each of the states in which BP is providing wholesale power to IDT and is acting as the scheduling agent. |
| iii. | Remain responsible for reporting IDT’s meter data to the lSO/RTOs either through its own operations or via agreements with the other entities. |
| iv. | Advanced coordination with BP will be required if IDT has a desire to participate in any of the ISO’s FTR, CRR, ARR or TCR auctions. BP will need to ensure the proper amount of credit has been posted with the respective ISO and the appropriate security rights have been granted to BP as the Scheduling Agent for IDT. |
| v. | Prior to enrolling any load into the ISO Demand Response type program or enlisting a Demand Resource in an ICAP or RA auction, IDT will coordinate with BP to ensure the proper metering and dispatch communication equipment is in place for BP to be compliant with the ISO’s technical requirements of the programs. |
| vi. | IDT will timely respond to any data requests or reporting obligations directed to BP from the ISO, NERC or NERC Regional Entity, that is related to IDT’s load transactions, such as system planning studies, forecasted peak demand, or audit inquires and other necessary information. |
