Any such event or circumstance which, could have been anticipated 15 days or more before the applicable Water Delivery Assets were, or became likely to be, incapable of such operation and is entered in GADS (such entry to be in accordance with clause 8.2(b)(i)) between 1 January and 1 May in any year, shall, for the purpose of this Agreement, be referred to as a "Planned outage". Any other such event or circumstance shall be referred to as an "Unplanned outage";

(b) give each such notice to Meridian:

(i) in the case of such a Planned outage, immediately after Genesis Energy enters (or amends the entry of) the outage into GADS (and Genesis Energy shall make or amend that entry in GADS as soon as the earlier of the Genesis Energy executive responsible for the availability of Genesis’ generation capacity (at the date of this agreement the executive with the title of General Manager – Production), or the Genesis Energy board of directors or Chief Executive, in good faith determines the time at which such Planned outage is to occur or likely to occur or in good faith determines that the Genesis Energy plan for such outage is to be amended);

(ii) in the case of such Unplanned outage, as soon as the Unplanned outage becomes known to Genesis Energy; and

(iii) in accordance with the procedures for delivery of notices under the Outage Notification Process.

(c) include in each such notice all relevant information available to Genesis Energy about the nature and extent, and the likely duration, including likely start and end date, of the shutdown or outage and the extent to which any of the Water Delivery Assets are likely to be prevented from operating at their Maximum Design Flow Rates, and shall advise Meridian on any material changes to such matters until that Planned or Unplanned outage shall have ended. Genesis Energy shall notify Meridian as soon as it considers that such Planned or Unplanned outage has ended, whereupon the provisions of this section 8 shall cease to apply.
