the option, within fifteen (15) days of receiving such notice from SkillSurvey Inc.,
to either
(i) modify the quantity or type of Services utilized by Subscriber by a mutual written
amendment between the parties, or
(ii) terminate the affected Orders upon written notice, either of which will become
