expense, including the payment of attorney's fees, any claim or action against the City for
infringement of any patent,copyright,trade mark,service mark,trade secret,or other intellectual
property right arising from City's use of the Deliverable(s), or any part thereof, in accordance

have the right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, City shall have

Deliverable(s), or any part thereof, is held to infringe and the use thereof is enjoined or restrained
or, if as a result of a settlement or compromise, such use is materially adversely restricted,
Vendor shall, at its own expense and as City's sole remedy, either: (a) procure for City the right to
continue to use the Deliverable(s); or(b)modify the Deliverable(s)to make them/it non-infringing,
provided that such modification does not materially adversely affect City's authorized use of the
Deliverable(s); or(c) replace the Deliverable(s)with equally suitable,compatible,and functionally
equivalent non-infringing Deliverable(s) at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the
foregoing alternatives is reasonably available to Vendor,terminate the Agreement, and refund all
amounts paid to Vendor by the City, subsequent to which termination City may seek any and all
