IP Indemnification. Vendor agrees to indemnify, defend, settle, or pay, at its own cost and
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
with the Agreement, it being understood that the agreement to indemnify, defend, settle or pay
shall not apply if City modifies or misuses the Deliverable(s). So long as Vendor bears the cost and
expense of payment for claims or actions against the City pursuant to this section, Vendor shall
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
the right to fully participate in any and all such settlement, negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to
protect the City's interest, and City agrees to cooperate with Vendor in doing so. In the event City,
for whatever reason, assumes the responsibility for payment of costs and expenses for any claim
or action brought against the City for infringement arising under the Agreement, the City shall
have the sole 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, Vendor shall fully
participate and cooperate with the City in defense of such claim or action. City agrees to give
Vendor timely written notice of any such claim or action, with copies of all papers City may receive
relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City's assumption of payment of costs or
expenses shall not eliminate Vendor's duty to indemnify the City under the Agreement. If the
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
remedies available to City under law. VENDOR'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE
SECURED BY THE REQUISITE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY CITY.

to Personal Data held or stored by Vendor under the Agreement or in connection with the
performance of any services performed under the Agreement or any Statement(s) of Work ("Data
Breach"), Vendor shall immediately notify City in writing and shall fully cooperate with City at
Vendor's expense to prevent or stop such Data Breach. In the event of such Data Breach, Vendor

respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims,
suits, causes of action, liability, loss, costs and damages, including reasonable attorney fees, arising
out of or relating to any third party claim arising from breach by Vendor of its obligations
contained in this Section, except to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of City. All
Personal Data to which Vendor has access under the Agreement, as between Vendor and City, will
remain the property of City. City hereby consents to the use, processing and/or disclosure of
Personal Data only for the purposes described herein and to the extent such use or processing is
necessary for Vendor to carry out its duties and responsibilities under the Agreement, any
applicable Statement(s) of Work, or as required by law. Vendor will not transfer Personal Data to
