ARTICLE 5

INTERFACE WITH INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATORS

5.1

Scheduling Agent. With respect to NYISO, on and after the effective date of the transfer of responsibility for scheduling and managing transmission from IDT to BP by NYISO and continuing throughout the Planned Term, subject to the provisions hereof, BP shall act as IDT’s designated Scheduling Agent. BP’s responsibilities as Scheduling Agent shall be limited to the scheduling of Energy and Related Electric Power Services for delivery hereunder (the “Scheduling Agent Services”), as defined in more detail in Section 5.2 below.

5.2

Scheduling Agent Designation. During the Planned Term, IDT shall authorize BP to act as the exclusive Scheduling Agent for IDT in NYISO (for purposes of this Article 5, the “ISO”) and to perform all scheduling and settlement with the ISO, with respect to IDT’s Customer load and the Energy and Related Electric Power Services purchased in accordance with this Agreement. IDT shall at all times grant BP all such authority necessary for BP to comply with the ISO’s Protocols as IDT’s Scheduling Agent during the Planned Term. IDT and BP shall submit to the ISO all such documentation as may be required to designate BP as IDT’s Scheduling Agent and to authorize BP to perform Scheduling Agent Services on IDT’s behalf. IDT acknowledges that BP shall have the right to file all such reports, subject to IDT’s prior review, as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, all reports as may be required by the ISO or the applicable regulatory agencies with respect to IDT’s Customer load and/or transactions consummated by BP on behalf of IDT in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.3

Compliance with ISO Rules and FERC Regulations. Each of the Parties agrees to abide by all applicable Legal Requirements (including without limitation all ISO Protocols, ISO operating and other guidelines, and ISO rules and directives) in performance of its obligations hereunder, as well as with all applicable FERC rules and regulations.

5.4	Specific Responsibilities by ISO. Schedule 5.4 sets out the respective responsibilities of IDT and BP with respect to the ISO. This Schedule shall not be construed as exhaustive.

5.5

Financial Responsibilities. Relying upon IDT’s representations, warranties and covenants that there have been and are no outstanding claims, liabilities or other issues with the ISO regarding any material financial responsibilities on or before the date on which the conditions precedents in Section 4.2 of this Agreement are satisfied, BP agrees, to the extent permissible by the ISO taken independently, to accept financial credit responsibility under the terms of BP’s current credit relationship and account with the

ISO arising after and relating solely to the period, in the case of the ISO, at and after the effective date of the transfer to BP of responsibility to act as IDT’s Scheduling Agent with respect to the ISO (a “Financial Responsibility Period”).

For the avoidance of doubt, BP does not accept ultimate financial responsibility for ISO charges or xxxxxxxx made in the future referencing time periods prior to the applicable Financial Responsibility Period, which pertain to IDT’s business. To the extent that BP is deemed by the ISO to be credit responsible for periods before the effective date of the applicable Financial Responsibility Period, it is agreed by IDT that IDT shall be solely responsible for such charges and xxxxxxxx and hereby indemnifies and holds BP harmless from any and all such liability with respect to any such charges and xxxxxxxx should BP be obligated as the financially responsible party to make payment to the ISO.

IDT shall require any successor to BP as the responsible party to the ISO to accept credit responsibility for transactions after the appointment of such person with the ISO as the successor financially responsible party; provided that nothing herein shall require BP to continue to act as the financially responsible party for IDT following an IDT Event of Default. To the extent that BP is deemed by the ISO to be credit responsible for periods after (x) the successor financially responsible party has been recognized by the ISO, (y) termination of this Agreement or (y) an IDT Event of Default, it is agreed by IDT that IDT shall be solely responsible for such charges and xxxxxxxx and hereby indemnifies and holds BP harmless from any and all such liability with respect to any such charges and xxxxxxxx should BP be obligated as the financially responsible party to make payment to the ISO.

In the event that the ISO invoices BP for charges attributable to IDT’s business related to transactions that occurred during the Planned Term, but after the conclusion of Energy deliveries hereunder, as applicable, then BP shall xxxx and IDT shall pay for such charges even though these accounting adjustments or resettlements may occur after the expiration or Early Termination of this Agreement without any limitation as to time. The obligations of IDT under this Section 5.5 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

5.6

Transition Period. Until such time as the ISO recognizes the commencement of the Financial Responsibility Period applicable to it, IDT acknowledges that (i) all financial transactions that are Credit-Enabled Transactions, as well as physical transactions, contain terms as between BP and IDT that are equivalent to the terms as between BP and the Third-Party Seller and (ii) BP will schedule such physical bilateral transactions with respect to Energy, Natural Gas or Related Services, for delivery to IDT at receipt points, and IDT shall be obligated to pay for such physical Energy. IDT is and will be obligated to accept and pay for delivery (physical or financial) of these products and volumes and any associated ISO charges or fees on the same terms accepted by BP and/or BPCNA.

5.7

Post-Transition Period. Upon commencement of any Financial Responsibility Period, all physical transactions that are Credit-Enabled Transactions shall be scheduled to BP and subsequently scheduled by BP on behalf of IDT under applicable ISO rules and procedures for ultimate delivery by IDT to Customers. Additionally, BP will submit, on behalf of IDT, all schedules required to be submitted to the ISO necessary to deliver the Energy or Related Electric Services to be sold to IDT pursuant to any outstanding Transaction. IDT is and will be obligated to accept and pay for delivery (physical or financial) of these products and volumes and any associated ISO charges or fees on the same terms accepted by BP and/or BPCNA.

5.8

Scheduling Discrepancies. An IDT Event of Default will occur if IDT's actualized delivered power volumes by individual ISO load zone and customer class hourly load profile shape applicable to ISO settlements in any given one month period exceeds * percent (*%) for any two individual months in a given consecutive twelve (12) month time period. If the actualized delivered power volumes by ISO load zone and customer class hourly load profile shape applicable to ISO settlements in any given one month period exceeds * percent (*%) then the penalty would be $* payable to BP for each monthly occurrence. If there were extenuating circumstance that caused the scheduling deviation, and both parties, acting reasonably, mutually agreed that the event was an extenuating circumstance, then the event would not be considered an IDT Event of Default.

ARTICLE 6

SUPPLY FEE

In compensation of BP’s services, duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder, BP shall be entitled to receive a fee for each calendar month (or portion thereof) during the Planned Term, payable by IDT to BP each month equal to the applicable amount for each MWh or MMBtu, as applicable, of Energy, Natural Gas or Related Services (whether such delivery is a physical delivery or a financial transaction constituting a deemed delivery of Energy) purchased and sold in each Credit-Enabled Transaction and Direct Transaction as set forth in the Exhibit 1 (in either case, the “Supply Fee”). The Supply Fee shall be considered for all purposes under the EEI Agreement and NAESB Agreement, as applicable, to be in lieu of any other similar fee (not a separate and additional fee or cost) in respect of any Credit-Enabled Transaction or Direct Transaction (unless separately agreed to in a Transaction under the EEI Agreement or NAESB Agreement, as applicable).

ARTICLE 7

SALE CONTRACTS

In order to sell Energy, Natural Gas or Related Services, IDT may enter into Sale Contracts, subject to the following terms and conditions:

7.1	Sale Contract Terms. With respect to Sale Contracts entered into during the Term, IDT shall, at a minimum, include the terms and conditions listed hereinafter.

Each new Sale Contract will have provisions substantially similar to the material terms set forth in Exhibit 3 to this Agreement. A breach of this sub-section may constitute an Event of Default under Section 18.1(c).

(b)

If Customer makes payment for amounts due to IDT at IDT’s place of business, IDT shall ensure that these payment amounts are deposited into the Deposit Account within three (3) Business Days from date of receipt of payment, but in any case as soon as possible.

(c)

No Customer contracted by IDT shall be a * with any utility or ISO sponsored program without the prior written consent of BP; provided that a Customer may be * if such Customer’s demand (i) is established on a day ahead load shape basis and (ii) does not require real-time metering and associated technological infrastructure to monitor and control such Customer’s demand real time.

(d)

No customer contracted by IDT shall knowingly have an Unusual Load Profile without written approval from BP. A customer has an “Unusual Load Profile” if such customer exceeds 7 MW of demand during any calendar year and has a daily, monthly, or annual load factor of less than *%.

(e)

The aggregate of settled amounts that are payable from fixed price Sale Contracts for any calendar month will not exceed *% of the Aggregate Customer Receivables.

7.2

Transactions Outside Approved Retail Energy Business. IDT shall not sell and deliver Energy, Natural Gas or Related Services to any Person on a retail basis under the terms of this Agreement if such sale and delivery would not constitute an Approved Retail Energy Business unless (a) a BP Party provides its prior written consent to such sale and delivery and (b) such sale and delivery is made pursuant to agreements and contracts approved by a BP Party; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement precludes IDT from selling and delivering Energy, Natural Gas or Related Services on a retail basis to any Person outside the scope of this Agreement, subject to the option described in the immediately succeeding sentence. The BP Parties shall have the option, but not the obligation, to include such new Sale Contracts under the terms hereof with such deemed charges as may be necessary to include such Sales Contract. Within the Designated Region, IDT shall not make sales at wholesale of Energy, Natural Gas or Related Services except to the BP Parties.

7.3

Sale Contract Accounting. IDT shall be responsible for all volumetric and financial accounting with respect to the Sale Contracts entered into pursuant to this Agreement.

If the Account Bank makes an error in the amount transferred from (or to) the Deposit Account, the Parties shall take prompt action, in good faith, to reconcile and correct any such errors.

(c)

Once the Deposit Account has been established, IDT shall not change the details thereof or the designated administrators without the prior written consent of BP (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). IDT shall cause the Deposit Account to be, and the Deposit Account shall be, separate from all other accounts held by or under the control or dominion of IDT or any other Person (other than BP, any Affiliate of BP, or any designee or assignee of BP). IDT shall deliver or cause to be delivered to BP as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar month following the Effective Date, copies of the account statements for the Deposit Account for such month. Such account statements shall indicate deposits, credits and transfers, and closing balances. IDT shall provide any additional information or reports relating to the Deposit Account and the transactions therein reasonably requested from time to time by BP. Each reference herein to funds held in the Deposit Account shall be deemed to be a reference to the aggregate amount of U.S. Dollars credited to the Deposit Account on the date of determination.

9.2	Collateral Account.

(a)

BP, prior to the initial date on which a Direct Transaction or Credit-Enabled Transaction is effected, shall establish a non-interest bearing deposit account (the “Collateral Account”) with the applicable Account Bank, and in respect of which employees of BP are identified as account administrators. The Collateral Account shall be in the name of BP. BP shall cause the Collateral Account to be, and the Collateral Account shall be, separate from all other accounts held by or under the control or dominion of BP or any other Person. BP shall provide IDT a schedule of fees associated with the Collateral Account, and BP shall promptly notify IDT in writing of any changes to such fees occurring after the Closing Date.

The Deposit Account Control Agreement entered into with respect to the Collateral Account shall (i) permit an authorized representative of IDT to provide payment instructions to the applicable Account Bank on any Business Day to make payments in the manner specified in Section 10.4, and (ii) expressly state that no funds may be disbursed from the Collateral Account without the written authorization of an authorized representative of BP. Such Deposit Account Control Agreement shall provide that if IDT fails to submit payment instructions timely to the Account Bank and such payment instructions are related to undisputed amounts due, then the Account Bank shall make disbursements as directed in writing by the authorized representative of BP.

(b)

The financial assets and other property and balances credited to the Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Obligation until applied thereto as provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, IDT shall be responsible solely for all fees and service charges relating to the Collateral Account and BP may invoice IDT for any such fee or service charge.

(c)

BP shall deliver or cause to be delivered to IDT as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar month following the Effective Date, copies of the account statements for the Collateral Account for such month. Such account statements shall indicate deposits, credits and transfers, and closing balances. BP shall provide any additional information or reports relating to the Collateral Account and the transactions therein reasonably requested from time to time by IDT.

(d)

Each reference herein to funds held in the Collateral Account shall be deemed to be a reference to the aggregate amount of U.S. Dollars credited to the Collateral Account on the date of determination. If the Account Bank makes an error in the amount transferred from (or to) the Collateral Account, the Parties shall take prompt action, in good faith, to reconcile and correct any such errors.

(e)

If, following the delivery of the cash flow projections by IDT to BP pursuant to Section 8.2(h), BP determines that its financial exposure for the following month based on its supply to IDT of Energy and Natural Gas under this Agreement and the Related Agreements exceeds the projected cashflow into the Collateral Account for the following month, BP shall notify IDT of such deficiency. IDT may elect to not receive or, if requested by BP, shall not receive any portion of the distribution of funds on deposit in the Collateral Account on the next Monthly Distribution Date pursuant to Section 10.4(v).

(f)

IDT may deliver funds to BP for deposit into the Collateral Account at any time during normal business hours.

9.3	Independent Collateral Amount.

(a)

IDT, prior to the initial date on which a Direct Transaction or Credit-Enabled Transaction is effected, shall (i) pay to BP in cash an amount equal to the Independent Collateral Amount (as defined below), or (ii) establish an irrevocable Qualifying Letter of Credit for the sole benefit of BP in an amount equal to the Independent Collateral Amount (as defined below), which shall be maintained until all Obligations of IDT have been satisfied at the end of this Agreement, including any extension necessary for any Transaction that extends beyond the end of the Planned Term of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Independent Collateral Amount” shall be defined as an independent amount of at least *. Such amount shall be in addition to any other amounts received in the Collateral Account. The Independent Collateral Amount may be drawn by BP to satisfy an Obligation due and owing if a default or an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. If at any time the Independent Collateral Amount is drawn upon by BP, IDT must deliver to BP within one (1) Business Day the amount necessary to cause the aggregate amount of (x) cash held by BP and (y) any the Qualifying Letter of Credit, each provided pursuant to this provision, to equal the Independent Collateral Amount. The Independent Collateral Amount will not be taken into consideration (or used) for calculation of a Payment Extension or in the calculation of Net Exposure under the Master Netting Agreement.

(b)

The financial assets and other property and balances comprising the Independent Collateral Amount shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Obligation until applied thereto as provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

9.4

Deposit Account Control Agreements. BP and IDT will execute one or more deposit account control agreements with the Account Bank (or such other bank which may from time to time maintain the Collateral Account or the Deposit Account for receipt of funds hereunder) governing the deposit of funds into, and the withdrawal of funds from, each of the Collateral Account and the Deposit Account, as applicable (each, a “Deposit Account

Control Agreement”). If any Deposit Account Control Agreement is modified or amended from time to time, such Deposit Account Control Agreement, as modified or amended, shall for all purposes be deemed to be a Deposit Account Control Agreement referred to herein.

ARTICLE 10

BILLING AND PAYMENT

10.1

Billing; Invoicing. Each applicable month during the Planned Term in which BP delivers Energy, Natural Gas or Related Services, or any month in which IDT incurs an obligation to make a payment to BPCNA with respect to any Financial Product, as contemplated herein, may be referred to herein as a “Delivery Month.”

(a)

For each Delivery Month during the Planned Term, the BP Parties shall deliver to IDT an invoice under the terms of the relevant Related Agreement and this Agreement with respect to any outstanding Transaction thereunder (each such invoice, an “Invoice”). With respect to any Delivery Month, IDT may receive more than one Invoice from the BP Parties. Subject to clause (b), IDT shall make the payment due under each such Invoice on the date required under the Related Agreement pursuant to which such Invoice was delivered to IDT, except for any invoice or portion of an invoice that IDT disputes in accordance with Section 10.6 of this Agreement.

(b)

IDT hereby acknowledges and agrees that, if information necessary for BP to prepare the Invoice (including without limitation information from the ISO, local gas distribution company, or the applicable transmission and distribution provider) is not available to BP on the date on which the Invoice is required to be delivered to IDT, then BP may reasonably estimate such amounts based on best available information for purposes of the Invoice and that the actual numbers shall be trued up on the next Invoice following the date on which such information is made available to BP. If BP sends an Invoice based on estimates, BP shall state in writing that the Invoice is based on estimates.

10.2

Payment Extensions. In connection with Related Electric Power Services performed by BP under this Agreement, BP will be deemed to have provided to IDT an Invoice for immediate payment in respect of any payments made to the ISO. If funds on deposit in the Collateral Account are not sufficient to pay the amount of such Invoice, then BP shall, at IDT’s request, extend the payment date for such deficient amount for a period of 30 days after the extension is made (“Permitted Extension Period”) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable funds to be deposited into the Collateral Account to cover such deficient amount (any such payment extension, a “Payment Extension”).

(a)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, BP shall not be required to give any such Payment Extension if:

(i)

after giving effect to such Payment Extension, (A) a Collateral Requirement of IDT would arise under the Master Netting Agreement or (B) the total aggregate amount of Payment Extensions outstanding would exceed * to IDT under any POR Program;

(ii)

the insufficiency of funds in the Collateral Account is due to Customers that are not covered by a POR Program failing to make direct payments to IDT when due as of the date IDT requests the Payment Extension;

(iii)

such insufficiency of funds in the Collateral Account has been caused, or contributed to, by actions or inactions on the part of IDT or any Affiliates of IDT; or

(iv)

the conditions that must be satisfied prior to BP’s entering into any Direct Transaction have not been fulfilled to the satisfaction of, or have not been waived by, BP as of the date IDT requests such Payment Extension.

(b)

To the extent not reimbursed from future funds in the Collateral Account, IDT will pay all amounts subject to a Payment Extension in full on the last day of the applicable Permitted Extension Period.

(c)

All amounts subject to a Payment Extension shall bear interest from the original payment due date for the amount included in the Payment Extension until the date when the amount is paid in full at a per annum interest rate of LIBOR plus * basis points. Such accrued interest due on the Payment Extension amount shall be paid to BP on the earlier of the date on which the amount included in the Payment Extension is paid in full or the last day of the applicable Payment Extension Period.

(d)

Failure to pay the Payment Extension amount, including accrued interest, as and when due would constitute an Event of Default.

10.3	Interest Accrual.

(a)

Any outstanding, unpaid amounts owed by IDT to BP, including any Payment Extension amount plus accrued interest thereon as provided in Section 10.1 not paid when due, shall accrue (simple, not compounded) interest pursuant to the applicable Related Agreement, beginning on the applicable due date until the date upon which any such outstanding amount is paid; provided, however, that, in calculating such interest, interest shall accrue only on that portion of the amount owed as may be outstanding from time to time.

(b)

Any and all interest which may accrue pursuant to Section 10.3(a) shall be included on the next applicable Invoice delivered by BP hereunder, and any such interest accrued shall be due and payable in accordance with the payment terms applicable to such next Invoice.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that settlement and resettlement information received by BP from the ISO: (i) shall be treated as incurred during the month in which BP receives such settlement or resettlement information from the ISO; (ii) shall be included on the applicable Invoice covering the month in which BP receives such settlement or resettlement information from the ISO; (iii) shall be due and payable on the applicable due date with respect to such Invoice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as applicable to such Invoice; and (iv) shall not accrue interest unless and until such amounts remain outstanding and unpaid as of such due date, unless BP is subject to interest by the billing ISO.

10.4

Distribution from Collateral Account. On (a) the Monthly Distribution Date, (b) any date on which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (c) the date payment set forth in an Invoice is due under the terms of the relevant Related Agreement or (d) the date identified in any written disbursement request submitted by IDT to BP (which date will be at least two Business Days after BP receives such written disbursement), BP shall submit instructions to the Account Bank holding the Collateral Account to withdraw the applicable amount and transfer such amount (i) to an account of a BP Party to satisfy any Obligations or (ii) to that account of IDT that is identified in Exhibit 16.1(m) as IDT’s general account. On any date, funds in the account will be applied in the following order of priority, without duplication, as follows:

(i)

first, to pay any sales taxes or transmission/distribution expenses for the transmission of Energy or Natural Gas transportation or storage expenses due and payable by IDT to any third party (that is not an Affiliate of IDT) incurred in connection with any Direct Transaction or Credit-Enabled Transaction;

(ii)

second, to BP to pay any and all fees, expenses and other amounts due and owing (including amounts due and owing from a prior Delivery Period that remain unpaid) to BP or BPCNA under the Transaction Documents, including amounts due and owing under the relevant Related Agreement(s) that, in any such case, are incurred in connection with any Direct Transaction or Credit-Enabled Transaction, and the Supply Fee due and owing to BP under this Agreement, and any charges, fees returned checks or other amounts charged by the Account Bank that are paid from or debited against the Deposit Account or the Collateral Account (other than Payment Extensions);

(iii)

third, to reimburse BP for any Payment Extensions due and owing together with accrued interest thereon;

(iv)

fourth, if an IDT Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all proceeds from the exercise of BP’s rights on account of such Event of Default on the part of IDT, to be paid to BP for any and all Obligations which became due and payable immediately on account of such Event of Default, with any excess proceeds thereafter to be retained in the Collateral Account as collateral security for the Obligations, and such amount reserved under this priority shall be unavailable for distribution pursuant to any lower priority under this Section 10.4 on such distribution date; and

(v)

fifth, provided (A) that no IDT Event of Default, and no event or occurrence that with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an IDT Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing and (B) no Payment Extension Period is in effect, on the last Business Day of each month (the “Monthly Distribution Date”), after application of available amounts to items first through fourth above, at the written request of IDT and subject to any retention of funds in accordance with Section 9.2(e), any remaining funds shall be distributed solely to IDT and IDT shall have the right to use such cash as it chooses.

10.5

ISO Billing Disputes. It is recognized by the Parties that the ISO may have established time periods for disputing certain matters and the Parties will be subject to such periods in their performance under this Agreement. Therefore, notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, in the event a Party is barred from disputing and correcting or adjusting with the ISO any matter of any nature whatsoever affecting any matter covered by this Agreement because the time period for such dispute has expired such that a Party would not have been able to file a dispute with the ISO prior to such expiration (a “Barred Issue”), then the other Party shall be barred for all purposes from disputing any portion of any statement, invoice, notice or other matter hereunder to the extent that the first Party is unable to receive adjustment from or dispute such matter with the ISO because it is a Barred Issue. BP shall be responsible for promptly reviewing the accuracy of all ISO settlement statements for the IDT related accounts and shall promptly notify the ISO and IDT in writing of any errors it finds in accordance with the ISO’s applicable rules and procedures for disputes over ISO settlements.

10.6	Disputed Invoices, etc. If either Party discovers, any error or inaccuracy in its own or the other Party’s invoice, payment, calculation, measurement or determination, then proper adjustment and correction thereof will be made as promptly as practicable thereafter;

provided, that no adjustments or corrections will be made with respect to errors or inaccuracies unless reasonably specific written notice of such error or inaccuracy is given to the other Party within one (1) year of the date of such erroneous or inaccurate invoice, payment, calculation, measurement or determination. IDT may, in good faith, dispute the correctness of any invoice (or of any adjustment to any invoice), at any time within one (1) year after the date of such invoice. In either such event, a Party shall deliver to the other Party a notice of dispute, stating the basis for the dispute or adjustment and setting forth the amount disputed in good faith (the “Disputed Amounts”). The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly resolve any dispute. Upon resolution of the dispute, any required payment shall be made within one (1) Business Day of such resolution along with (i) simple (not compounded) interest accrued at the Interest Rate from the original due date until paid in full, if IDT is making such required payment and (ii) the amount of simple (not compounded) interest accrued at the Interest Rate from the original due date until paid in full, if BP is making such required payment.

ARTICLE 11

REGULATORY CHANGE

11.1

In the event of any change in applicable laws, rules or regulations during the term of this Agreement by a Governmental Authority that (a) makes it illegal for a Party to continue to perform, either in whole or in material part, under this Agreement, or (b) result in a materially adverse change in a Party’s economics under this Agreement (a “Regulatory Event”), in each case which cannot be avoided by such Party upon the exercise of its best efforts, then such Party (the “Affected Party”) may provide the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”) written notice of the Regulatory Event. The Parties shall for thirty (30) Business Days after such notice is delivered attempt in good faith to reach mutual agreement to resolve the material adverse economic impact on the Affected Party or the inability of the Affected Party to continue to perform or to amend the terms of this Agreement in light of the Regulatory Event to give effect to the original intention of the Parties, consistent with the original economic expectations of both Parties.

11.2

If, despite good faith negotiations on the part of the Parties, the Parties are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days, then the Affected Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and any affected Transactions, with settlement payment to be determined in accordance with the early termination provisions of the Master Netting Agreement.

ARTICLE 12

PLANNED TERM; EARLY TERMINATION

12.1

Planned Term. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect beginning on the Effective Date and continue until the Planned Expiration Date (such period being the “Planned Term”); provided that this Agreement will renew automatically for a term of one (1) year following the prior Planned Expiration Date unless a Party has provided written notice to the other Parties at least six (6) months prior to the next Planned Expiration Date that it will not renew this Agreement; provided further that this Agreement will not renew after June 30, 2012; provided further that if this Agreement renews after June 30, 2011, the Early Termination fee specified in Section 12.2(c) shall no longer apply. The Planned Expiration Date shall not affect or excuse the performance of either Party under any provision of this Agreement that by its terms survives such expiration. Further, this Agreement shall continue to apply to, and any such expiration of the Planned Term shall not affect or excuse the performance by either Party under, this Agreement or any agreement between the Parties entered into pursuant hereto related to obligations which were undertaken prior to such expiration and which remain unperformed at the time of such expiration. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall not affect the continued effectiveness of the EEI Agreement, the NAESB Agreement, the ISDA Agreement, and any Transactions confirmed under any of the foregoing, or the Master Netting Agreement.

12.2	Early Termination. Each of the Parties may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Planned Term (any such termination, an “Early Termination”) as follows:

(a)

Early Termination by IDT. Upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to BP, IDT may terminate this Agreement at its election for convenience.

(b)

Early Termination by BP. Upon four (4) months prior written notice to IDT, BP may terminate this Agreement if the long-term, unsecured indebtedness of BPCNA is rated less than BBB- by S&P or less than Baa3 by Moody’s.

(c)

Effect of Early Termination.

(i)

On a Business Day that is no sooner than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the terminating Party has proposed, in its notice of termination delivered pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or (b), as applicable, that this Agreement terminate, the non-terminating Party shall, using the terms of the Master Netting Agreement, calculate the UMA Final Settlement Amount as of such Business Day. In determining the UMA Final Settlement Amount, (A) the non-terminating Party shall be deemed to be the Non-defaulting Party, and (B) the calculating Party shall include in the calculation of the UMA Final Settlement Amount only those Direct Transactions or Credit-Enabled Transactions that will be terminated on the date of Early Termination pursuant to Article 15. Upon completing such calculation of the UMA Final Settlement Amount, such amount shall constitute the “Early Termination Net Payment” hereunder. If the Early Termination Net Payment is positive, IDT shall pay to BP when due the Early Termination Net Payment. If the Early Termination Net Payment is negative, BP shall pay to IDT when due the Early Termination Net Payment.

(ii)

If IDT elects an Early Termination pursuant to Section 12.2(a), IDT shall be obligated to pay to BP, in addition to any Early Termination Net Payment that it may owe upon an Early Termination, an amount equal to the greater of (A) * or (B) *% of the Supply Fees that, but for such Early Termination, IDT would owe to BP from the date of Early Termination through the end of the Planned Term (the “Supply Fee Termination Payment”). BP shall calculate the Supply Fee Termination Payment. BP shall utilize the forecasted quantities of Natural Gas and Energy that, but for such Early Termination, BP would have sold and delivered to IDT in connection with any Direct Transaction or Credit-Enabled Transaction from the date of Early Termination through the end of the Planned Term. If BP must pay to IDT when due the Early Termination Net Payment, BP may offset the Supply Fee Termination Payment against the Early Termination Net Payment it owes.

(iii)

As soon as practicable after completing the calculation of the Early Termination Net Payment and, if any, the Supply Fee Termination Payment, the calculating Party shall provide notice to the other Party of (A) the Early Termination Net Payment and, if any, the Supply Fee Termination Payment, (B) whether such Early Termination Net Payment is owed by the terminating Party or the non-terminating Party and (C) the date on which such Early Termination Net Payment and, if any, the Supply Fee Termination Payment is due (which payment date shall be no sooner than two (2) Business Days following the date of Early Termination). If IDT owes any amounts to BP under this Section 12.2, IDT also shall pay to BP in full, on the same day it is obligated to pay any Early Termination Net Payment or Supply Fee Termination Payment, any other outstanding Obligations (including amounts that remain unpaid as a result of any Payment Extension and any outstanding Supply Fees). If the Party that owes such payment fails to make payment when due, the unpaid amount shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate from the payment date until such amount is paid.

(iv)

Following such Early Termination, all Transactions that were included in the calculation of the Early Termination Net Payment shall be terminated and shall have no further force and effect. With respect to Transactions that were not terminated upon such Early Termination, the provisions of Article 15 shall apply to such Transactions.

(v)

Any amount that IDT is obligated to pay to BP under this Section 12.2 shall constitute one of the Obligations.

ARTICLE 13

TAX AND BANKRUPTCY

13.1

Taxes. Each Party shall be responsible for reporting and discharging its own tax measured by the profit or income of the Party. Each Party shall protect, defend and indemnify the other Party from any and all loss, cost or liability arising from the indemnifying Party’s failure to report and discharge such taxes or satisfy such obligations.

13.2

Return of Documents and Information. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall destroy or return to the other all documents, data, and Information belonging to the other Party and shall cooperate fully to ensure that the termination or expiration of this Agreement and the transition is accomplished in an efficient and businesslike manner. If such documents are destroyed, such destruction shall be certified to the Party owning the Information by an officer of the Party destroying the same. The foregoing notwithstanding, neither Party shall be obligated to return or destroy any such documents, data or information that such Party is retaining pursuant to a document retention policy established in connection with any civil or criminal investigations or litigation, in which event the documents, data and information shall be retained by the Party until such time as the document retention policy is no longer in effect, at which time the documents, data and information shall be returned to the other Party or destroyed as aforesaid. To the extent that a Party’s computer back-up procedures create copies of any such documents, data or information, such Party may retain such copies in its archival or back-up computer storage for the period the Party normally archives backed-up computer records. Any such documents, data or information so retained and not destroyed will be kept confidential.

13.3	Bankruptcy Provisions.

(a)

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and each Transaction made under this Agreement or any Related Agreement constitute “forward contracts” and/or a “swap agreement” and/or “master netting agreement” as defined under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), (ii) each Party is a “forward contract merchant” or “swap participant” as defined under the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) the rights of the Parties under the termination provisions of this Agreement or any Related Agreement will constitute contractual rights to liquidate, net and setoff Transactions, (iv) any payment related to or setoff related to this Agreement or any Related Agreement shall constitute a “settlement payment” as defined in Section 101(51A) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (v) the Parties are entitled to and desire enforcement of the rights under, and protections afforded by, Sections 362, 546, 553, 556, 560, 561, and 562 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)

Under this Agreement, the term “setoff” means, without limitation, offset, combination of accounts, netting, right of retention or withholding, contractual right to liquidate transactions, or comparable right or requirement to which a Party is entitled or subject to (whether arising under this Agreement, any Related Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or other agreements between the Parties, under law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed on, the other Party. Further, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to Sections 362 and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, transfers and payments made in connection with this Agreement or any Related Agreement are not enjoined or otherwise precluded by the automatic stay imposed by the Bankruptcy Code and are not subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code.

15.2

No later than 90 days before the last day of the Planned Term or no later than the date that is fifteen (15) days before the effective date of Early Termination, as applicable, IDT will have the right and obligation to deliver to BP in writing a plan to wind-down BP’s exposure with respect to the Agreement and the Related Agreements.

Any such plan may include one or more of the following options:

(a)

“Assignment Option”: IDT may request BP to assign to one or more Creditworthy Assignees (as defined below) any of BP’s positions under Credit-Enabled Transactions or Direct Transactions on price, terms and conditions acceptable to BP.

(i)

In connection therewith BP shall be responsible for effecting the assignment of transactions, so long as a Creditworthy Assignee is available to take assignment and assume all obligations under the assigned transactions going forward.

(ii)

Either the Creditworthy Assignee or IDT must accept all responsibility in respect of the position with the ISO or RTO.

(iii)

As used herein, “Creditworthy Assignee” shall mean a counterpart(ies) whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” by Moody’s or “A” by S&P and the ability to perform on the applicable assigned transactions.

(b)

“Termination Option”: IDT may Close-Out any Credit-Enabled Transaction or Direct Transaction by paying to, or receiving from, BP an amount equal to the UMA Final Settlement Amount, calculated under the Master Netting Agreement for the Direct Transactions and Credit-Enabled Transactions being Closed-Out.

“Hold Option”: IDT may leave in place any Credit-Enabled Transaction or Direct Transaction. However, until all Transactions have been finally assigned under the Assignment Option, terminated under the Termination Option, expired under the Hold Option, or defeased under the Defease Option (as defined below), the Liens under the Security Documents securing this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall remain in place and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect solely with respect to such Credit-Enabled Transactions or Direct Transactions whose term extends beyond the Planned Term or effective date of the Early Termination of this Agreement.

(d)

“Defease Option”: IDT may provide guaranties of Creditworthy Assignees or letters of credit, surety bonds, or cash in amounts and on terms reasonably satisfactory to BP with respect to any Direct Transactions or Credit-Enabled Transactions left in place under the Hold Option, and for each transaction so guaranteed or secured, BP shall release its liens and security interests securing such transaction.

15.3

During the Wind-Down Period in all cases, (i) IDT will not be permitted to enter into any Purchase Contracts or Sale Contracts that would affect BP’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and BP will be under no obligation to enter into Direct Transactions or Credit-Enabled Transactions and (ii) all provisions of the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will remain in full force and effect, except as described in clause (a) of Section 15.2.

(a)

In the event that all transactions under the Agreement have been finally assigned under the Assignment Option, terminated under the Termination Option, expired under the Hold Option, or defeased under the Defease Option, BP shall within three (3) Business Days, terminate all of BP’s liens and security interests securing the Agreement.

ISO Interface Responsibilities

BP will serve as the Principal Account Holder within the NYISO 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 to access the NYISO MIS 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.

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.

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.

vii.	File, but not necessarily initiate, all commercially reasonable billing disputes with the ISO on IDT’s behalf.

Regulatory

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:

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 ISO/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 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.

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.
