I don't think you could leave after 95 or 120 days, I think you'd have to wait until you'd been in for 180 days. I've only tried it once, though, so my memory of the details is a bit sketchy.
I came across a lengthy thread on the KDP forums on Amazon the other day where several authors mentioned that there apparently is a new form available somewhere in the author area, which allows the author to contact Amazon service and pull out of KDP Select immediately if they don't wish to be enrolled to Kindle Unlimited.

I gather several authors already did that and their KDP Select status was ended right away (or as soon as the support service got around to it, I suppose).

Of course I don't know if that option is only in place now, when KU is a brand new thing, to allow authors to "opt out" (since KDP Select authors didn't get a say about it when the program was announced but were opted in automatically).
