In the event of any of the foregoing events, MarkWest will promptly notify Producer by phone, email or otherwise as soon as reasonably possible and provide Producer withreasonably detailed information regarding such event. In addition, in the event of any injection of ethane into residue gas at another processing complex as described above, **[REDACTED]***. 

xiv. If a third party constructs and installs an ethane and heavier (C2+) NGL pipeline that is connected to MarkWest’s or itsAffiliates’ facilities and can receive C2+ Raw Make allocated to Producer under this Agreement, then in the event of any Force Majeure event involving the Bluestone Processing Plant, the Fractionation Plant or any facilities downstream thereof(including, without limitation, any Downstream Ethane Pipeline), the Parties acknowledge that MarkWest will have the right to take such actions as MarkWest may determine, in its sole discretion, to be reasonably necessary to enable the BluestoneProcessing Plant and the Fractionation Plant to continue operations (even if in a reduced capacity), which may include, without limitation, delivering Producer’s Raw Make into such third party C2+ pipeline. In such event, MarkWest will promptlyinform Producer (by email, phone or otherwise) and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the additional costs or expenses that may be incurred as a result thereof. 

E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exchange and delivery of ethane (other than ethane sold as propane) under thisAgreement after the Ethane Service Commencement Date shall be made as follows: 

i. MarkWest shall deliver Producer’s ethane recoveredpursuant to the terms of this Agreement **[REDACTED]***. 

ii. **[REDACTED]***
