procedures in any manner which has an adverse impact on CCSI or any
Cardholder, CCSI shall notify Vendor immediately following detection of
any deviation and Vendor shall have [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] from receipt of notification to present CCSI
with its plan to cure such deviation and [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] to effectuate such cure to the satisfaction of
CCSI. In the event that the Vendor fails to cure such deviation within
such [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT], the
telemarketing fees payable by CCSI to Company for such campaign shall
be reduced by [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] for
a maximum period of [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT].

perform services hereunder, during the course of telemarketing
solicitations (i) fails to obtain verification of a customer's
agreement to enroll in the Program; or (ii) enrolls a customer in a

indicate a desire to be enrolled or indicated a desire not to be
enrolled in such program, then, for each such event Vendor shall pay
Bank [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] as a penalty;
in the event the amount of failures exceeds [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST
FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] during a one-year period, Vendor shall pay
