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.
Data Breach. Vendor further agrees that it will monitor and test its data safeguards from
time to time, and further agrees to adjust its data safeguards from time to time in light of
relevant circumstances or the results of any relevant testing or monitoring. If Vendor suspects or
becomes aware of any unauthorized access to any financial or personal identifiable information
("Personal Data") by any unauthorized person or third party, or becomes aware of any other
security breach relating 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 shall fully and immediately comply with applicable laws, and shall
take the appropriate steps to remedy such Data Breach. Vendor will defend, indemnify and hold
City, its Affiliates, and their 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 third parties other than through its underlying network provider
to perform its obligations under the Agreement, unless authorized in writing by City. Vendor's
obligation to defend, hold harmless and indemnify City shall remain in full effect if the Data
Breach is the result of the actions of a third party. All Personal Data delivered to Vendor shall be
stored in the United States or other jurisdictions approved by City in writing and shall not be
transferred to any other countries or jurisdictions without the prior written consent of City.

ARTICLE 23: CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Price Decreases
If Contractor's Direct Cost decreases at any time during the full term of this award, Contractor must immediately
pass the decrease on to H-GAC and lower its prices by the amount of the decrease in Direct Cost. (Direct Cost
means Contractor's cost from the manufacturer of any item or if Contractor is the manufacturer, the cost of raw
materials required to manufacture the item, plus costs of transportation from manufacturer to Contractor and
Contractor to H-GAC. Contractor must notify H-GAC of price decreases in the same way as for price increases
set out below. The price decrease shall become effective upon H-GAC's receipt of Contractor's notice. If
Contractor routinely offers discounted contract pricing, H-GAC may request Contractor accept amended contract
pricing equivalent to the routinely discounted pricing
Price Increases
Contractors may request a price increase for items priced as Base Bid items and Published Options after twelve
(12) months from the bid opening date of the bid received by H-GAC. The amount of any increase will not exceed
actual documented increase in Contractor's Direct Cost and will not exceed 10% of the previous bid price.
Considerations on the percentage limit will be given if the price increase is the result of increased tariff charges,
or other economic factors.
Price Changes
Any permanent increase or decrease in offered pricing for a base contract item or published option is considered a
price change. Temporary increases in pricing by whatever name (e.g. 'surcharge', 'adjustment', 'equalization
charge', 'compliance charge', 'recovery charge', etc.), are also considered to be price changes. For published
catalogs and price sheets as part of an H-GAC contract, requests to amend the contract to reflect any new
published catalog or price sheet must be submitted whenever the manufacturer publishes a new document. The
request must include the new catalog or price sheet.
All Products shall, at time of sale, be equipped as required under any then current applicable local, state, and
federal government requirements. If, during the course of any contract, changes are made to any government
requirements which cause a manufacturer's costs of production to increase, Contractor may increase pricing to the
extent of Contractor's actual cost increase. The increase must be substantiated with support documentation
acceptable to H-GAC prior to taking effect. Modifications to a Product required to comply with such requirements
which become effective after the date of any sale are the responsibility of the Customer.
Requesting Price Increase/Required Documentation
Contractor must submit a written notification at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the requested effective date
of the change, setting the amount of the increase, along with an itemized list of any increased prices, showing the
