Such non-payment shall not constitute a default or breach of this Agreement by CCSI.
3.2 From time to time, CCSI shall instruct Vendor how to submit itemized invoices or other expense documentation. With notice to Vendor, CCSI may withhold payments for unsatisfactory performance or for questionable expenses. Pending resolution of any disputed amount, such non-payment will not constitute CCSI’s breach of this Agreement.

The other party’s suspension of further performance pending Debtor’s assumption or rejection will not be a breach of this Agreement and will not affect the other party’s right to pursue any of its rights under this Agreement.
8.4 The rights of the parties to terminate this Agreement are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies they may have at law for damages or otherwise, except the right specifically precluded in Article 9 below.
ARTICLE 9. MISCELLANEOUS PRINTING SERVICES REQUIREMENTS
9.1 CCSI shall appoint a person as its representative (“CCSI’s Representative”) under this Agreement. CCSI’s Representative shall represent CCSI with respect to the quality and acceptability of the Services provided by Vendor.

9.4 Quality control is an important part of the production of the Printing Services under this Agreement. Therefore, CCSI’s Representative shall have the right to conduct quality control reviews of the Printing Services being provided by Vendor at any time during Vendor’s normal business hours, without unreasonably disrupting Vendor’s normal business activities, by:

9.9 Upon CCSI’s written request, certain CITIBANK trademarks, trade names, insignia, symbols, decorative designs, packaging designs, or evidences of CCSI’s inspection (hereinafter “Marks”) will be properly affixed by Vendor to the Printing Services furnished or its packaging. Such Insignia will not be affixed, used or otherwise displayed on the material furnished or in connection therewith without CCSI’s written approval. The manner in which such Insignia will be affixed must be approved in writing by CCSI. CCSI shall retain all right, title and interest in any and all packaging designs, finished artwork, and separations furnished to Vendor.

9.11 Vendor shall comply with conditions set forth herein and in writing from time to time by CCSI with respect to the style, appearance, and manner of use of the Marks.

One copy of all such proposed material which displays the Marks shall be provided to CCSI for review prior to final production of such material.

9.15 At any time during the production of the Printing Services, CCSI may condemn or reject any or all of the Printing Services if the same are not in accordance with this Agreement and shall give written notice to Vendor of such default. Vendor will thereupon have twenty-four (24) hours to respond and recommend necessary steps to move forward, and seventy-two (72) hours to remedy the default. If Vendor fails to timely remedy the default, CCSI reserves the right to produce any or all Printing Services, to provide labor, equipment and materials, and to complete or have completed by a third party any part or all of the Printing Services. The cost of completion by CCSI shall be deducted from the unpaid balance, if any, due or which may become due Vendor under this Agreement.

Paper delivery requirements shall be included in production schedules and shall include sufficient lead-time to permit processing of orders, manufacture, and delivery of Printing Services to CCSI location. Vendor’s orders shall include the following certification: “This paper is being ordered exclusively for the printing of material furnished to CCSI and will not be used for any other purpose.”

9.25 Vendor shall examine all paper shipped by CCSI’s Paper Vendor and promptly notify CCSI and Paper Vendor of any defect which makes the paper unsuitable for use. Vendor shall comply with CCSI’s instructions regarding the disposition of defective paper.

Vendor shall give CCSI reasonable written notification of any material or indefinite delay due to such causes. Vendor shall take the necessary steps to overcome any delay in delivery of Printing Services to CCSI.
