ARTICLE 1. TERM OF AGREEMENT The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue in effect through June 30, 2031 (“End Date”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Article 8. Should no Effective Date be specified above, then the Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the date this Agreement is executed by the authorized CITY representative. The term of this Agreement may be extended by amendment in accordance with Article 9.A. It is intended that termination of this Agreement be contemporaneous with the final acceptance of all services described in Exhibit B by the Gilroy City Administrator or designee. ARTICLE 2. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS Both parties understand and agree that CONTRACTOR, and any person working for or under the direction of CONTRACTOR, is an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of CITY. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship between CITY and CONTRACTOR or any employee or agent of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR is not an employee for state or federal tax purposes. CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any of the rights or benefits afforded to CITY’s employees, including, without limitation, disability or unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, medical insurance, sick leave, retirement benefits, or any other employment benefits.

Employment of Workers CONTRACTOR may, at the CONTRACTOR’s own expense, employ such workers as CONTRACTOR deems necessary to perform the Services required of CONTRACTOR by this Agreement, subject to the limitations on assignment and subcontracting contained in Article 5.E, below. CITY may not control, direct, or supervise CONTRACTOR’s workers in the performance of those Services. CONTRACTOR assumes full and sole responsibility for the payment of all compensation and expenses of these workers and for all State and Federal income tax, unemployment insurance, Social Security, disability insurance, and other applicable withholding. As an independent contractor, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend, and hold CITY, its officers, officials, representatives, agents, employees, and volunteers harmless, pursuant to Article 5.D from and against any and all third-party claims arising from allegations that an employee- employer relationship exists between CITY and an employee or subcontractor of CONTRACTOR or of any of its subcontractors. ARTICLE 4. COMPENSATION A. Consideration In consideration for the Services to be performed by CONTRACTOR, CITY shall pay CONTRACTOR the amounts set forth in Exhibit D (“Payment Schedule”). Such compensation shall be without right to any additional compensation of any kind or type whatsoever, including, without limitation, in quantum meruit. CONTRACTOR shall not be compensated for, and CITY shall not be obligated to pay for, any Services performed by CONTRACTOR without prior, written authorization from CITY, that exceed the total compensation amount provided herein. In the event of a conflict between the amount set forth in this Article 4.A and Exhibit D regarding the amount of compensation, this Article 4.A shall prevail. In no event shall the total compensation paid to CONTRACTOR for the complete and satisfactory performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement exceed $65,250.00. B. Invoices CONTRACTOR shall submit invoices for all services rendered. CONTRACTOR shall invoice CITY no more than once every thirty (30) days. C. Payment Payment will be due according to the payment schedule set forth in Exhibit D. No payment will be made unless CONTRACTOR has first provided CITY with a written invoice describing the work performed and any approved direct expenses (as provided for in Exhibit A, Section III) incurred during the preceding period. CITY shall have no obligation to pay for any work or direct expenses not invoiced within ninety (90) days of the date such work was performed or such expenses were incurred. Expenses shall not be invoiced until incurred. If CITY objects to all or any portion of any invoice, CITY will notify CONTRACTOR of the objection within thirty (30) days from receipt of the invoice, give reasons for the objection, and Docusign Envelope ID: 52A8BD91-2A79-8C81-8209-52A83232806D -3- 4909-9229-3710v6 ALF\04706277 pay that portion of the invoice not in dispute. It shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement for CITY not to pay any invoiced amounts to which it has objected prior to resolution of the objection by mutual agreement of both parties hereto. D. Costs and Expenses Incident to Performance CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incident to the performance of Services for CITY, including, without limitation, all costs of equipment used or provided by CONTRACTOR, all fees, fines, licenses, bonds, or taxes required of or imposed against CONTRACTOR and all other of CONTRACTOR’s costs of doing business.

Pursuant to Gilroy City Code Section 1.15, construction, alteration, demolition, repair and maintenance work performed under certain public works contracts is subject to all State laws regarding payment of prevailing wages, including, without limitation, Labor Code Section 1770 et seq.

CONTRACTOR will not be responsible for the accuracy of any project or technical information provided by the CITY. The CITY’s review, acceptance or payment for any of the Services shall not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights under this Agreement or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of this Agreement, and CONTRACTOR shall be and remain liable to CITY in accordance with applicable law for all damages to CITY caused by CONTRACTOR’s negligent performance of any of the Services furnished under this Agreement. C.

CITY may require CONTRACTOR to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related expenses within the retention.

Verification of Coverage CONTRACTOR shall furnish CITY with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause. All required documents are to be received and approved by CITY before work commences. However, failure to obtain the documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive CONTRACTOR’s obligation to provide them.

Docusign Envelope ID: 52A8BD91-2A79-8C81-8209-52A83232806D EXHIBIT F - MUNICIPAL ADVISOR DISCLOSURES Fiduciary Duty NHA Advisors, LLC (“NHA Advisors”) is registered as a Municipal Advisor with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”). As such, NHA Advisors has a fiduciary duty to the City and must provide both a Duty of Care and a Duty of Loyalty that entail the following. Duty of Care: a) exercise due care in performing its municipal advisory activities; b) possess the degree of knowledge and expertise needed to provide the City with informed advice; c) make a reasonable inquiry as to the facts that are relevant to the City’s determination as to whether to proceed with a course of action or that form the basis for any advice provided to the City; and d) undertake a reasonable investigation to determine that NHA Advisors is not forming any recommendation on materially inaccurate or incomplete information; NHA Advisors must have a reasonable basis for: i. any advice provided to or on behalf of the City; ii. any representations made in a certificate that it signs that will be reasonably foreseeably relied upon by the City, any other party involved in the municipal securities transaction or municipal financial product, or investors in the City securities; and iii. any information provided to the City or other parties involved in the municipal securities transaction in connection with the preparation of an official statement. Duty of Loyalty: NHA Advisors must deal honestly and with the utmost good faith with the City and act in the City’s best interests without regard to the financial or other interests of NHA Advisors. NHA Advisors will eliminate or provide full and fair disclosure (included herein) to the City about each material conflict of interest (as applicable). NHA Advisors will not engage in municipal advisory activities with the City as a municipal entity, if it cannot manage or mitigate its conflicts in a manner that will permit it to act in the City’s best interest. Conflicts of Interest and Other Matters Requiring Disclosures As of the commencement date of the Project, there are no actual or potential material conflicts of interest, other than those potential conflicts noted below, that NHA Advisors is aware of that might impair its ability to render unbiased and competent advice or to fulfill its fiduciary duty. If NHA Advisors becomes aware of any material potential conflict of interest that arises after this disclosure, NHA Advisors will disclose the detailed information in writing to the City in a timely manner. Pursuant to MSRB Rule G-42, on Duties of Non-Solicitor Municipal Advisors, Municipal Advisors are required to make certain written disclosures to clients which include, amongst other things, Conflicts of Interest and any Legal or Disciplinary events of NHA Advisors and its associated persons. The following are potential conflicts of interest to be considered. NHA Advisors represents that in connection with the issuance of municipal securities, NHA Advisors may receive compensation from the City for services rendered, which compensation is contingent upon the successful closing of a transaction and/or is based on the size of a transaction. Consistent with the requirements of MSRB Rule G-42, NHA Advisors hereby discloses Docusign Envelope ID: 52A8BD91-2A79-8C81-8209-52A83232806D that such contingent and/or transactional compensation may present a potential conflict of interest regarding NHA Advisors’ ability to provide unbiased advice to enter into such transaction. The contingent fee arrangement creates an incentive for NHA Advisors to recommend unnecessary financings or financings that are disadvantageous to the City, or to advise the City to increase the size of the issue. This potential conflict of interest will not impair NHA Advisors’ ability to render unbiased and competent advice or to fulfill its fiduciary duty to the City. NHA Advisors’ fees under this potential agreement may be based on hourly fees of NHA Advisors’ personnel, with the aggregate amount equaling the number of hours worked by such personnel times an agreed-upon hourly billing rate. This form of compensation presents a potential conflict of interest because it could create an incentive for NHA Advisors to recommend alternatives that would result in more hours worked. This conflict of interest will not impair NHA Advisors’ ability to render unbiased and competent advice or to fulfill its fiduciary duty to the City. NHA Advisors’ fees under this potential agreement may be a fixed amount established at the outset of this potential agreement. The amount is usually based upon an analysis by the City and NHA Advisors of, among other things, the expected duration and complexity of the transaction and the scope of services to be performed by NHA Advisors. This form of compensation presents a potential conflict of interest because, if the transaction requires more work than originally contemplated, NHA Advisors may suffer a loss. Thus, NHA Advisors may recommend less time- consuming alternatives, or fail to do a thorough analysis of alternatives. This conflict of interest will not impair NHA Advisors’ ability to render unbiased and competent advice or to fulfill its fiduciary duty to the City. The fee paid to NHA Advisors increases the cost of investment to the City. The increased cost occurs from compensating NHA Advisors for municipal advisory services provided. NHA Advisors serves a wide variety of other clients that may, from time to time, have interests that could have a direct or indirect impact on the interests of another NHA Advisors client. For example, NHA Advisors serves as municipal advisor to other municipal advisory clients and, in such cases, owes a regulatory duty to such other clients just as it does to the City. These other clients may, from time to time and depending on the specific circumstances, have competing interests. In acting in the interests of its various clients, NHA Advisors could potentially face a conflict of interest arising from these competing client interests. NHA Advisors fulfills its regulatory duty and mitigates such conflicts through dealing honestly and with the utmost good faith with the City. Gerald Craig Hill, the Managing Principal of NHA Advisors is currently serving as an outside director for the HdL Companies based in Diamond Bar, CA.
