for a copyright or patent by or on behalf of Professional Engineer. The City of Nashua shall
have the right to reproduce any such materials.
Professional Engineer expressly and indefinitely waives all of its rights to bring, including
but not limited to, by way of complaint, interpleader, intervention, or any third party

other relief, in any administrative or judicial forum, against the City of Nashua or any of its

substitute at its expense non-infringing materials, concepts, products, or processes, or to
modify such infringing materials, concepts, products, or processes so they become non-

conditions of this contract.
