the Contract within thirty (30) days after having been notified thereof, or within any further

period as the Employer may have subsequently approved in writing;

(b) if the Service Provider becomes insolvent or bankrupt;

(c) if, as the result of Force Majeure, the Service Provider is unable to perform a material

portion of the Services for a period of not less than sixty (60) days;
