Service Provider Directed Changes. Without prejudice to Service Provider’s obligation to provide the Services in accordance with Section 2.3 and the applicable Transition Service Schedules, Service Provider may, without a need for a formal change request, from time to time change the manner or method of providing a Transition Service if (i) Service Provider is making similar changes in performing similar services for its own internal organization (including ordinary patching, maintenance, and similar activities), provided, that, such change does not increase the applicable Service Fees, or (ii) the change is required to comply with changes in applicable Law (each such change an “Operational Change”). If the Operational Change is required to comply with changes in applicable Law and (i) only impacts one Party, such Party will bear the full cost of implementing such change, or (ii) affects both Parties, the cost of the change will be proportionately shared between the Parties. Service Provider shall give to Service Recipient substantially the same notice of these Operational Changes (in content and timing), if any, as it gives to the relevant affected members of Service Provider and their Affiliates.
