A
The bank should audit the service provider's operational processes and also give the service provider the similar right to audit the bank's processes.
B

C

D
The agreement should define specific events that constitute a default, and the bank should give the provider an opportunity to cure the default if one of these events occur instead of immediately terminating the contract.
