(a) (Notification): If Project Co becomes aware of an Intervening Event or any other matter that has occurred during the Operational Phase, which has prevented or will prevent its performance of the Services or other obligations under this Deed in accordance with the requirements of this Deed (which are not Development Activities), Project Co must promptly notify the State of the relevant Intervening Event or other matter and its then current effect and likely further effect.
(b) (Claim for relief): To claim relief under clause 32.2, Project Co must submit a Change Notice to the State for that Intervening Event, and its consequences, no later than 20 Business Days after the earlier of the date on which Project Co:
(i) first became aware of the fact that the Intervening Event has prevented or will prevent its performance of the Services or other obligations under this Deed (which are not Development Activities); or
(ii) ought reasonably to have become aware of the fact that the Intervening Event has prevented or will prevent its performance of the Services or other obligations under this Deed(which are not Development Activities),
and, for any relief it continues to seek after the initial Change Notice, must continue to update the State in respect of the Intervening Event and its consequences in accordance with section 10.1 of the Change Compensation Principles.
(c) (Conditions precedent): Subject to clause 32.3, it is a condition precedent to Project Co's entitlement to relief under clause 32.2 that:
(i) Project Co complies with clause 32.1(b);
(ii) the relevant Intervening Event occurred during the Operational Phase;
(iii) Project Co can demonstrate that it has actually been or will be prevented from performing the Services or other obligations under this Deed (which are not Development Activities) in each case during the Operational Phase by the relevant Intervening Event or its consequences; and
(iv) Project Co, at the time it submits the relevant Change Notice, submits to the State such other information reasonably required by the State to enable the State to determine Project Co's entitlement to relief.
