This COMMERCIAL PAPER DEALER AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2025 (this “Agreement”), between City of San José Financing Authority (the “Authority”) and [NAME OF CP DEALER] (“[CP Dealer]” or the “CP Dealer”).

(b) The Authority has authorized and the City has approved the issuance of the Commercial Paper Notes pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2005, by and between the Authority and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Trust Agreement ”) and a Third Amended and Restated Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement dated as of May 1, 2025, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement ”), by and between the Authority and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as issuing and paying agent (the “Issuing and Paying Agent”)(collectively, the “Authorizing Document”).

All references herein to the “Bank,” the “Banks,” the “Credit Facility ” or the “Reimbursement Agreement ,” as the context requires, shall be deemed to refer to the applicable Bank or Banks, the applicable Credit Facility or Credit Facilities or the applicable Reimbursement Agreement or Reimbursement Agreements, as such terms are defined in the Trust Agreement for the applicable series of the Commercial Paper Notes.

(f) Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Trust Agreement.

Section 2. Appointment of CP Dealer. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Authority hereby appoints [CP Dealer] as a non -exclusive dealer for the Commercial Paper Notes, and [CP Dealer] hereby accepts such appointment. [CP Dealer] acknowledges that the Authority has also appointed [Barclays Capital Inc.]/[TD Securities (USA) LLC]/ and [Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC] to serve as non-exclusive dealers of the Commercial Paper Notes with [CP Dealer], and the Authority may from time to time appo int other Dealers for the Commercial Paper

2 Notes (collectively, the “CP Dealer Pool”). [CP Dealer] hereby further agrees that, with respect to each offering and sale of the Commercial Paper Notes (i.e. a transaction) from time to time, the Authority will , in its sole and absolute discretion, select one or more Dealers from the CP Dealer Pool to perform the duties of a Dealer with respect to such offering and sale . From time to time, in the event the Authority allocates Commercial Paper Notes to [CP Dealer] with respect to a transaction of Commercial Paper Notes, the Authority will so notify [CP Dealer] at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the applicable transaction.

Section 3. Responsibilities of CP Dealer. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, [CP Dealer] agrees to perform the duties of a Dealer under the Authorizing Document and of the CP Dealer as set forth in this Agreement. It is understood that in undertaking to perform such duties, and in the performance thereof, it is the intention of the parties that the CP Dealer will act solely as an agent and not as a principal, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. For each transaction for which [CP Dealer] is selected to serve as Dealer, t he CP Dealer shall use its best efforts to solicit and arrange sales of the Commercial Paper Notes that are allocated to CP Dealer on behalf of the Authority at such rates and maturities as may prevail from time to time in the market. The CP Dealer and the Authority agree that any Commercial Paper Notes which the CP Dealer may sell or which, in the CP Dealer’s sole discretion, it may elect to purchase, will be purchased or sold on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided in the Trust Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement and this Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent of any conflict between the provisions hereof and of the Trust Agreement, the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall be controlling.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the CP Dealer:

(i) will suspend its efforts with respect to the offer or sale of the Commercial Paper Notes on behalf of the Authority upon the receipt of notice of the occurrence of an event of default under the Authorizing Document, the applicable Credit Facility or the applicable Reimbursement Agreement; and

(ii) may, in its sole discretion, suspend its efforts with respect to the offer or sale of the Commercial Paper Notes on behalf of the Authority immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events, which suspension will continue so long as, in the CP Dealer’s reasonable judgment, such event continues to exist as to the Commercial Paper Notes:

(1) suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange;

(2) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York is declared by either federal or New York State authorities;

(3) the engagement by the United States in hostilities if the effect of such engagement, in the CP Dealer’s reasonable judgment, makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the solicitation of offers to purchase the Commercial Paper Notes;

(4) legislation shall be introduced by committee, by amendment or otherwise, in, or be enacted by, the House of Representatives or the Senate of the Congress of the United States, or a decision by a court of the United States shall be

3 rendered, or a stop order, ruling, regulation or official statement by, or on behalf of, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental agency having jurisdiction of the subject matter shall be made or proposed, to the effect that the offering or sale of obligations of the general character of the Commercial Paper Notes, as contemplated hereby, is or would be in violation of any provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as then in effect, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as then in effect, or with the purpose or effect of otherwise prohibiting the offering or sale of obligations of the general character of the Commercial Paper Notes , or the Commercial Paper Notes themselves, as contemplated hereby;

(5) any event shall occur or information shall become known, which, in the CP Dealer ’s reasonable opinion, makes untrue, incorrect or misleading in any material respect any statement or information contained in any disclosure documents used by the CP Dealer in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, whether provided pursuant to Section 8 hereof or otherwise, or causes such documents to contain an untrue, incorrect or misleading statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(6) any governmental authority shall impose, as to the Commercial Paper Notes, or obligations of the general character of the Commercial Paper Notes , any material restrictions regarding the ownership or transfer of the Commercial Paper Notes not now in force, or increase materially those now in force;

(7) any of the representations and warranties of the Authority made hereunder shall not have been materially true and correct on the date made;

(8) the Authority fails to observe any of the covenants or agreements made herein and such failure continues for a period of not to exceed thirty days from the time the CP Dealer notifies the Authority of such failure;

(9) any of the rating agencies then rating the Commercial Paper Notes or the applicable Bank shall either (i) downgrade the ratings assigned to either the Commercial Paper Notes or the applicable Bank so that such Commercial Paper Notes are not “Eligible Securities” as defined under Rule 2a -7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (ii) suspend or withdraw the then current ratings assigned to either the Commercial Paper Notes or the applicable Bank and, in each case, which in the CP Dealer ’s reasonable judgment makes it impractical to market the Commercial Paper Notes or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Commercial Paper Notes;

(10) an actual or imminent default or a moratorium in respect of payment of any U.S. Treasury bills, bonds or notes the effect of which in the CP Dealer’s reasonable judgment makes it impractical to market the Commercial Paper Notes or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Commercial Paper Notes; or

4 (11) the occurrence of a major financial crisis, a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement, clearance or payment services, or a material disruption or deterioration in the fixed income or municipal securities market.
