BETWEEN

THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA
AND

INTEL CORPORATION

PREAMBLE
This Deposit agreement (“Agreement”) is by and between Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business located at 2200 Mission College Boulevard, Santa Clara, California 95054 (“Customer”), and the City of Santa Clara, California, a chartered California municipal corporation with its primary business address at 1500 Warburton Avenue, Santa Clara, California 95050, doing business as Silicon Valley Power (the “City” or “SVP”). SVP and Customer may be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties” or the “Parties to this Agreement.”
The City and Customer agree as follows:

I. Customer is proposing to expand the capacity of the Juliette Substation by the addition of a third transformer bank.

II. Customer requires engineering design services from SVP (Services) as is further outlined in Exhibit A – Scope of Services and Cost Estimate- attached hereto this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference, and City agrees to perform or cause to perform the Services in conformance with that Exhibit.

Customer shall pay the actual costs of the Services and related costs and expenses, including, but not limited to labor, materials, subcontracted services, permits, right-of-way procurement, taxes, fees, and overhead that may be identified by City required to complete Services (Cost of Services).

A. City agrees to perform Services requested by Customer as outlined in Exhibit A (Scope of Services).

B. City has estimated the Costs of Services including related costs such as, but not limited to labor, materials, subcontracted services, permits, and easements as well as any other City costs such as taxes, fees, and overhead that may be identified by City required to complete Services. An estimate of the Cost of Services is included in Exhibit A, Section 3.

III. Customer agrees to deposit $1,702,313 (Deposit) with the City to fund the estimated Cost of Services.

A. Deposit shall be equal to the estimated Cost of Services plus a twenty-five percent (25%) contingency.

B. Customer understands that such Deposit is a retainer based on estimated Cost of Services and is not a fixed fee for required services.

Rev. 02/08/2022

C. Deposit must be received by City before Services are initiated by City.

D. City shall maintain accounting for Deposit using a process that will permit City to provide routine reporting to Customer upon request. Customer understands that periodic reporting will be based on invoices and other information received as of the time of the report and there may be additional costs that have not yet been invoiced to City.

E. Customer shall have reasonable access to SVP records to confirm the accuracy of the reconciliation.

F. Upon completion or termination of Services, City shall reconcile Cost of Services against Deposit

1. If, after reconciliation, City determines that Deposit was greater than Cost of Services, City shall refund remaining funds to Customer within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of invoicing by any third parties performing work associated with Services.

2. If, after reconciliation, City determines that Cost of Services exceeded Deposit, City shall invoice Customer for any outstanding amounts.

Customer shall make payment within thirty (30) days of invoice.

IV. Changes to Deposit or changes to Services:

A. Customer is responsible for all actual costs of services even if City does not notify the customer of changes to the Cost of Services.

B. In the event that it becomes known to the City that the Exhibit A cost estimate will be exceeded and those additional costs do not exceed the total Deposit, those additional costs may be passed through to Customer and deducted from Deposit without additional notification.

C. In the event that it becomes known to the City that the Cost of Services estimate must be revised such that the Deposit is insufficient to complete the Services, City shall notify Customer, in writing, of the updated cost estimate as soon as practicable. The parties shall accept such updated estimates through execution of an Amendment to this Agreement including an update to Exhibit A.

1. If Customer agrees for City to continue Services, Customer shall remit additional deposit funds as required by City (Additional Deposit).

Upon execution of an Amendment to this Agreement and receipt of such Additional Deposit, City shall resume Services.

2. Should Customer decide not to authorize costs exceeding initial estimates and discontinue work, Customer shall be responsible for all costs up to the halt of Services. This may also include costs associated with cancelling or terminating services requested from Deposit Agreement/Intel Corporation Page 3
Rev. 02/08/2022

others such as cancellation of materials purchases or other termination charges that may be incurred by City. In the event of cancellation under this provision, City shall complete accounting for Cost of Services as defined in Section II.

V. Term
The term of this Agreement shall begin on the last date listed on the signature page and shall end six months after completion of Services and Customer’s fulfillment of its payment obligations unless earlier terminated under the provisions of Section III of this Agreement.

VI. Termination of Services:

A. In the event that either Party determines that it does not wish to continue Services, that Party will provide written notice to the other Party.

B. Upon receipt of such written notice from Customer, City will stop all work associated with the Services as soon as practicable and not more than thirty (30) days from the date of the notice from Customer.

C. The actual Cost of Services shall be reconciled against Deposit as outlined in Section II.

VII. The performance of Services by SVP does not constitute conditional approval by the City of any portion of the Customer’s project or a commitment by SVP to serve the Customer’s anticipated electric load. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a commitment by City to grant or issue any preliminary or final approvals in connection with provision of electric service or capacity, project planning, construction, including for General Plan Amendments, Rezoning, Development Plans, Subdivision Maps, Development Agreements, Environmental Impact Reports, and building permits. Customer acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement limits City's discretion. Customer agrees that it shall remain obligated to pay all costs for all work performed by SVP, regardless of whether any aspect of the Customer’s project is ultimately approved.

VIII. Hold Harmless/Indemnification
A. To the extent permitted by law, Customer agrees to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify City, its City Council, commissions, officers, employees, volunteers and agents from and against any claim, injury, liability, loss, cost, and/or expense or damage, including all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees in providing a defense to any such claim or other action, and whether sounding in law, contract, tort, or equity, in any manner arising from, or alleged to arise in whole or in part from, or in any way connected with Customer’s obligations under this Agreement – including claims of any kind by Customer’s employees or persons contracting with Deposit Agreement/Intel Corporation Page 4
Rev. 02/08/2022

Customer to perform any portion of this Agreement.

B. Customer’s obligation to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless in full City and City’s employees, shall specifically extend to any and all employment-related claims of any type brought by employees, contractors, subcontractors or other agents of Customer against City (either alone, or jointly with Customer), regardless of venue/jurisdiction in which the claim is brought and the manner of relief sought.
