As Parent becomes self-sufficient or engages other sources to provide any SpinCo Service, Parent shall be entitled to release SpinCo from providing any or all of the SpinCo Services hereunder by delivering a written notice thereof to SpinCo at least 30 days. At the end of such 30 day period (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the parties), SpinCo shall discontinue the provision of the SpinCo Services specified in such notice and any such SpinCo Services shall be excluded from this Agreement, and Schedule B shall be deemed to be amended accordingly. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if SpinCo delivers a notice under this Section 7.1(b) with respect to Parent Services provided under the heading “Employee Benefits” or “ADP” on Schedule A, then SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Parent as a result of such action by SpinCo.
7.2 Early Termination by Parent.
(a) Parent may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to SpinCo if SpinCo shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations under, or breach any of its warranties set forth in, this Agreement, and such default or breach shall continue and not be

remedied for a period of 30 days after Parent has given written notice to SpinCo specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied.
(b) In lieu of exercising any rights it may have under Section 7.2(a) above, Parent may terminate the provision of any SpinCo Service (and Schedule B shall be deemed amended accordingly) by giving written notice to SpinCo if SpinCo shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations with respect to such SpinCo Service, and such default shall continue and not be remedied for a period of 30 days after Parent has given written notice to SpinCo specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied.
7.3 Early Termination by SpinCo.
(a) SpinCo may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Parent if Parent shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations under, or breach any of its warranties set forth in, this Agreement and such default or breach shall continue and not be remedied for a period of 30 days after SpinCo has given written notice to Parent specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied.
(b) In lieu of exercising any rights it may have under Section 7.3(a) above, SpinCo may terminate the provision of any Parent Service (and Schedule A shall be deemed amended accordingly) by giving written notice to Parent if Parent shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations with respect to such Parent Service, and such default shall continue and not be remedied for a period of 30 days after SpinCo has given written notice to Parent specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied.
7.4 Suspension Due to Force Majeure. In the event the performance by SpinCo or Parent of their respective duties or obligations hereunder is interrupted or interfered with by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control, including fire, storm, flood, earthquake, explosion, war, strike or labor disruption, rebellion, insurrection, quarantine, act of God, boycott, embargo, shortage or unavailability of supplies, riot, or governmental law, regulation or edict (collectively, the “Force Majeure Events”), the party affected by such Force Majeure Event shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement by reason of its nonperformance due to such Force Majeure Event, but shall give prompt written notice to the other party of the Force Majeure Event. The party affected by the Force Majeure Event shall cooperate with the other party in obtaining, at the other party’s sole expense, an alternative source for the affected Services, and the other party shall be released from any payment obligation to the party affected by the Force Majeure Event with respect to such Services during the period of such Force Majeure Event. Additionally, upon and during the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, at the sole option of the party receiving the Services affected by the Force Majeure Event, the term of this Agreement shall be tolled with respect to any Services that are not being provided by a third party.
