(e)          Notice by Customer of Scheduled Outage.  The parties acknowledge and agree that Pegasus could interpret the cessation of activity though the UltraDirect Interface from Customer’s Web Site as an Issue requiring action by Pegasus pursuant to paragraph 9 below.  Consequently, Customer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Pegasus prior notice, by e-mail or such other means as mutually agreed by Customer and Pegasus, of any plan by Customer to make Customer’s Web Site unavailable to transmit Reservations Data to, or to receive transmissions of Reservations Data from, the Reservation Function for any period of time.  Any such notice given by Customer will include the date and time of commencement of the subject unavailability and an estimate of the duration of the subject unavailability.
