<br />and any other materials or deliverables provided under this Agreement are either original,
<br />or not encumbered, and do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark, patent, or other
<br />intellectual property rights of any third party, or are in the public domain.
<br />14. Changes. City may, by written notice, change the quantity or specifications of the
<br />Goods and Services ordered and the terms of shipment or packaging of Goods. Upon
<br />receipt of any notice, Vendor will promptly make the changes in accordance with the terms

<br />and amend the Purchase Agreement accordingly. Vendor must deliver to City as promptly
<br />as possible, and in any event, within thirty (30) days after receipt of change notice, a

<br />additional thirty (30) days, Vendor must supplement the statement with detailed
<br />specifications of the adjustment amount and supporting cost figures. Vendor's failure to
<br />submit a statement or supplement within these time limits will constitute its consent to

<br />obsolete, and without change in delivery schedules.

<br />qualifies for an exemption.

<br />(collectively, "Indemnitees"), against and from any loss, damage, claim for damage,
<br />liability, expense or cost, including attorneys' fees (collectively, "Losses"), which arises
<br />out of, is related to, or is in any manner connected with the Goods and Services and/or
<br />the performance of work, activities, operations or duties of Vendor, or anyone employed
<br />by or working under Vendor, and from all Losses by anyone employed by or working
<br />under Vendor for services rendered to Vendor in the performance of this Agreement,
<br />notwithstanding that City may have benefited from their services. This indemnification
<br />provision will, without limitation, apply to any acts or omissions, willful misconduct or
<br />negligent conduct, whether active or passive, on the part of Vendor or of anyone
<br />employed by or working under Vendor. Losses will include, without limitation, allegations
<br />that the Goods are defective in manufacture or design and allegations that the Goods or
<br />Services infringe any patent or other intellectual property right belonging to a third party.
<br />Vendor will promptly defend the Indemnitees pursuant to this Section, whether or not
<br />applicable claims, allegations, lawsuits or proceedings (collectively, "Proceedings") have
<br />merit or are meritless, and whether or not such Proceedings involve claims or allegations
