8.3 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION - Contractor agrees to
defend, settle, or pay, at its own cost and expense, any claim or action against City for
infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or similar property right
arising from City's use of software or documentation in accordance with this Agreement, it
being understood that this agreement to defend, settle, or pay will not apply if City modifies
or misuses the software and/or documentation. So long as Contractor bears the cost and
expense of payment for claims or actions against City pursuant to this section, Contractor
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 settlements, negotiations, or lawsuits as
necessary to protect City's interests, and City agrees to cooperate with Contractor 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 City for infringement arising under
this Agreement, City will 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, Contractor will fully participate and cooperate with City in defense of
such claim or action. City agrees to give Contractor timely written notice of any such claim
or action, along with copies of all papers City may receive relating thereto. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, City's assumption of payment of costs or expenses will not eliminate
Contractor's duty to indemnify City under this Agreement. If the software and/or
documentation 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, Contractor will, at its own expense: (a) procure for 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 documentation; or (c) replace the software and
documentation with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally -equivalent non -infringing
software and documentation at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing
alternatives is reasonably available to Contractor, terminate this Agreement and refund all
amounts paid to Contractor by City, subsequent to which termination City may seek any
and all remedies available to City at law or in equity.
