cost and expense of payment for claims or actions against City pursuant to this section,
Vendor will 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 will have the right to fully participate in any and all such settlement,
negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to protect City's interest, and City agrees to cooperate

City the right to continue to use the software and/or documentation; or (b) modify the
software and/or documentation to make it non -infringing, provided that such modification
does not materially adversely affect City's authorized use of the software and/or
