Opioids Implementation Administrator

Edmonds city, WA
Reference Number: CL-798913
TO LOCAL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS;
THIS PACKAGE CONTAINS DOCUMENTATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEW
NATIONAL OPIOIDS SETTLEMENT. YOU MUST TAKE ACTION IN ORDER TO
PARTICIPATE.
Deadline; August 12, 2024
A new proposed national opioids settlement ("New National Opioids Settlement")
has been reached with Kroger ("Settling Defendant"). This Participation Package is
a follow-up communication to the Notice of National Opioids Settlement recently
received electronically by your subdivision.
You are receiving this Participation Package because Washington is participating in
the Kroger settlement.
This electronic envelope contains:
The Participation Form for the Kroger settlement, including a release of any
claims.
The Allocation Agreement ///, which splits the Washington share between the
State and its local governments similar to prior opioid settlements.
The Participation Form and Allocation Agreement I// must be executed,
without alteration, and submitted on or before August 12, 2024, in order
for your subdivision to be considered for initial participation calculations
and payment eligibility.
Based upon subdivision participation forms received on or before August 12, 2024,
the subdivision participation rate will be used to determine whether participation is
sufficient for the settlement to move forward and whether a state earns its
maximum potential payment under the settlement. If the settlement moves
forward, your release will become effective. If a settlement does not move forward,
that release will not become effective.
Any subdivision that does not participate cannot directly share in the settlement
funds, even if the subdivision's state is settling and other participating subdivisions
are sharing in settlement funds. Any subdivision that does not participate may also
reduce the amount of money for programs to remediate the opioid crisis in its state.
Please note, a subdivision will not necessarily directly receive settlement funds by
participating; decisions on how settlement funds will be allocated within a state are
subject to intrastate agreements or state statutes.
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8

within your state.
Information and documents regarding the New National Opioids Settlement and
how it is being implemented in your state and how funds will be allocated within
your state can be found on the national settlement website at

additional documents are created.

deemed a "Participating Local Government."

the (1) Adjusted State Remediation Payment and (2) Additional Remediation

from the Contingency Fee Fund in the Settlement, the MOU, and this Allocation
Agreement III combined cannot exceed 15% of the portion of the LG Share paid
to the Litigating Local Government that retained that firm to litigate against the
Settling Entities (i.e., if City X filed suit with outside counsel on a contingency
fee contract and City X receives $1,000,000 from the Settlement, then the
maximum that the firm can receive is $150,000 for fees as to the Kroger
Settlement.)
7. No portion of the State's Fees and Costs and/or the State Share as defined in
Paragraphs 5 and 9 of this Allocation Agreement III shall be used to fund the

Participating Local Government's attorneys' fees, costs, or common benefit tax.
8. The Washington Abatement Amount shall and must be used by the State and
Participating Local Governments for future Opioid Remediation as defined in
the Settlement, except as allowed by the Settlement.

A. Fifty percent (50%) to the State of Washington ("State Share").
B. Fifty percent (50%) to the Participating Local Governments ("LG Share").
10. The LG Share shall be distributed to Participating Local Governments pursuant
to the MOU as amended and modified in this Allocation Agreement III.
11. For purposes of this Allocation Agreement III only, the MOU is modified
as follows and any contrary provisions in the MOU are struck:
A. Exhibit A of the MOU is replaced by Exhibit E of the Settlement.
B. The definition of "Litigating Local Governments" in Section A.4 of the
MOU shall mean Litigating Subdivisions as defined in the Settlement and
shall also include any local government that notified Judge Polster in Case
No. 1:17-and-02804-DAP of its intent to sue Kroger in 2023 after the
release of updated ARCOS data.
C. The definition of "National Settlement Agreement" in Section A.6 of the
MOU shall mean the Settlement.
D. The definition of "Settlement" in Section A.14 of the MOU shall mean
the Settlement.
E. The MOU is amended to add new Section C.4.g.vIII, which provides
as follows:
"If a Participating Local Government receiving a direct payment
(a) uses Opioid Funds other than as provided for in the Settlement,
(b) does not comply with conditions for receiving direct
payments under the MOU, or (c) does not promptly submit
necessary reporting and compliance information to its Regional
Opioid
Abatement Counsel ("Regional OAC") as defined at Section C.4.h
of the MOU, then the Regional OAC may suspend direct payments
to the Participating Local Government after notice, an opportunity
to cure, and sufficient due process. If direct payments to
Participating Local Government are suspended, the payments shall
be treated as if the Participating Local Government is foregoing
their allocation of Opioid Funds pursuant to Section C.4.d and
C.4.j.IIIi of the MOU. In the event of a suspension, the Regional
OAC shall give prompt notice to the suspended Participating Local
Government and the Settlement Fund Administrator specifying the
reasons for the suspension, the process for reinstatement, the
factors that will be considered for reinstatement, and the due
process that will be provided. A suspended Participating Local
3� #�
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
Government may apply to the Regional OAC to be reinstated for
direct payments no earlier than five years after the date of
suspension."
F. The amounts payable to each law firm representing a Litigating Local
Government from the GFF shall be consistent with the MOU and the
process set forth in the Order Appointing the Fee Panel to Allocate
and Disburse Attorney's Fees Provided for in State Back -Stop
Agreements, Case No. 1:17-and-02804-DAP Doc #: 4543 (June 17,
2022). All
amounts that the City of Seattle has contributed to the GFF shall be
returned to the City of Seattle by the Settlement Administrator rather than
paid to Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP.
G. The GFF set forth in the MOU shall be funded by the LG Share of the
Washington Abatement Amount only. To the extent the common
benefit tax is not already payable by the Settling Entities as
contemplated by Section D.8 of the MOU, the GFF shall be used to pay
Litigating Local Government contingency fee agreements and any
common benefit tax referred to in Section D of the MOU, which shall
be paid on a pro rata basis to eligible law firms as determined by the
GFF Administrator.
H. To fund the GFF, fifteen percent (15%) of the LG Share shall be deposited
in the GFF from each LG Share settlement payment until the Litigating
Subdivisions' contingency fee agreements and common benefit tax (if
any) referred to in Section D of the MOU are satisfied. Under no
circumstances will any Primary Subdivision or Litigating Local
Government be required to contribute to the GFF more than 15% of the
portion of the LG Share allocated to such Primary Subdivision or
Litigating Local Government. In addition, under no circumstances will
any portion of the LG Share allocated to a Litigating Local Government
be used to pay the contingency fees or litigation expenses of counsel for
some other Litigating Local Government.
The maximum amount of any Litigating Local Government contingency
fee agreement (from the Contingency Fee Fund of the Settlement) payable
to a law firm permitted for compensation shall be fifteen percent (15%) of
the portion of the LG Share paid to the Litigating Local Government that
retained that firm (i.e., if City X filed suit with outside counsel on a
contingency fee contract and City X receives $1,000,000 from the
Settlement, then the maximum that the firm can receive is $150,000 for
fees.) The firms also shall be paid documented expenses due under their
contingency fee agreements that have been paid by the law firm
attributable to that Litigating Local Government. Consistent with
Agreement on Attorneys' Fees, Costs, and Expenses, which is Exhibit R
of the Settlement, amounts due to Participating Litigating Subdivisions'
attorneys under this Allocation Agreement III shall not impact (i) costs
paid by the subdivisions to their attorneys pursuant to a State Back -Stop

agreement, (ii) fees paid to subdivision attorneys from the Common
Benefit Fund for common benefit work performed by the attorneys
pursuant to Exhibit R of the Settlement, or (iii) costs paid to subdivision
attorneys from the MDL Expense Fund for expenses incurred by the
attorneys pursuant to the Settlement.
J. Under no circumstances may counsel receive more for its work on behalf
of a Litigating Local Government than it would under its contingency
agreement with that Litigating Local Government. To the extent a law
firm was retained by a Litigating Local Government on a contingency fee
agreement that provides for compensation at a rate that is less than
fifteen percent (15%) of that Litigating Local Government's recovery,
the maximum amount payable to that law firm referred to in Section D.3
of the MOU shall be the percentage set forth in that contingency fee
agreement.
K. For the avoidance of doubt, both payments from the GFF and the payment
to the Participating Litigating Local Governments' attorneys from the
Contingency Fee Fund in the Settlement shall be included when
calculating whether the aforementioned fifteen percent (15%) maximum
percentage (or less if the provisions of Paragraph 10.J of this Allocation
Agreement III apply) of any Litigating Local Government contingency
fee agreement referred to above has been met.
L. To the extent there are any excess funds in the GFF, the Settlement
Administrator shall facilitate the return of those funds to the
Participating Local Governments as provided for in Section D.6 of the
MOU.
12. In connection with the execution and administration of this Allocation
Agreement III, the State and the Participating Local Governments agree to abide
by the Public Records Act, RCW 42.56 et seq.
13. All Participating Local Governments, Regional OACs, and the State shall
maintain all non -transitory records related to this Allocation Agreement III as
well as the receipt and expenditure of the funds from the Settlement for no less
than five (5) years.
14. If any party to this Allocation Agreement III believes that a Participating Local
Government, Regional OAC, the State, an entity, or individual involved in the
receipt, distribution, or administration of the funds from the Settlement has
violated any applicable ethics codes or rules, a complaint shall be lodged with
the appropriate forum for handling such matters, with a copy of the complaint
promptly sent to the Washington Attorney General, Complex Litigation
Division, Division Chief, 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000, Seattle, Washington
98104.
15. To the extent (i) a region utilizes a pre-existing regional body to establish its
Opioid Abatement Council pursuant to the Section 4.h of the MOU, and (III) tha: 0

pre-existing regional body is subject to the requirements of the Community
Behavioral Health Services Act, RCW 71.24 et seq., the State and the
Participating Local Governments agree that the Opioid Funds paid by Kroger is
subject to the requirements of the MOU and this Allocation Agreement III.
16. Upon request by Kroger, the Participating Local Governments must comply with
the Tax Cooperation and Reporting provisions of the Settlement.
17. Venue for any legal action related to this Allocation Agreement III (separate and
apart from the MOU or the Settlement) shall be in King County, Washington.
18. Each parry represents that all procedures necessary to authorize such party's
execution of this Allocation Agreement III have been performed and that
such person signing for such parry has been authorized to execute this
Allocation Agreement III.

WASHINGTON MUNICIPALITIES
Whereas, the people of the State of Washington and its communities have been harmed
by entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain who manufacture, distribute, and dispense

prescription opioids accountable for the damage they have caused to the Local Governments;
Whereas, Local Governments and elected officials share a common desire to abate and
alleviate the impacts of harms caused by these entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
throughout the State of Washington, and strive to ensure that principals of equity and equitable
service delivery are factors considered in the allocation and use of Opioid Funds; and
Whereas, certain Local Governments engaged in litigation and the other cities and
counties in Washington desire to agree on a form of allocation for Opioid Funds they receive
from entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain.

B. Allocation of Settlement Proceeds for Approved Purposes

mechanisms for auditing and reporting set forth below to provide public

2. All Opioid Funds, regardless of allocation, shall be utilized
pursuant to Approved Purposes as defined herein and set forth in Exhibit A.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified through reporting, as set out in
this MOU.
3. The division of Opioid Funds shall first be allocated to
Participating Counties based on the methodology utilized for the Negotiation
Class in In Re: National Prescription Opiate Litigation, United States District

allocation model uses three equally weighted factors: (1) the amount of opioids
shipped to the county; (2) the number of opioid deaths that occurred in that
county; and (3) the number of people who suffer opioid use disorder in that
county. The allocation percentages that result from application of this
methodology are set forth in the "County Total" line item in Exhibit B. In the
event any county does not participate in this MOU, that county's percentage share
shall be reallocated proportionally amongst the Participating Counties by applying
this same methodology to only the Participating Counties.
4. Allocation and distribution of Opioid Funds within each
Participating County will be based on regional agreements as described in
Section C.
C. Regional Agreements
1. For the purpose of this MOU, the regional structure for decision -
making related to opioid fund allocation will be based upon the nine (9) pre-
defined Washington State Accountable Community of Health Regions (Allocation
Regions). Reference to these pre -defined regions is solely for the purpose of
3
gfi,.a
d'k
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
drawing geographic boundaries to facilitate regional agreements for use of Opioid
Funds. The Allocation Regions are as follows:
• King County (Single County Region)
• Pierce County (Single County Region)
• Olympic Community of Health Region (Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap
Counties)
• Cascade Pacific Action Alliance Region (Cowlitz, Grays Harbor, Lewis,
Mason, Pacific, Thurston, and Wahkiakum Counties)
• North Sound Region (Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom
Counties)
• SouthWest Region (Clark, Klickitat, and Skamania Counties)
• Greater Columbia Region (Asotin, Benton, Columbia, Franklin, Garfield,
Kittitas, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Yakima Counties)
• Spokane Region (Adams, Ferry, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Spokane, and
Stevens Counties)
• North Central Region (Chelan, Douglas, Grant, and Okanogan Counties)
2. Opioid Funds will be allocated, distributed and managed within
each Allocation Region, as determined by its Regional Agreement as set forth
below. If an Allocation Region does not have a Regional Agreement enumerated
in this MOU, and does not subsequently adopt a Regional Agreement per Section
C.5, the default mechanism for allocation, distribution and management of Opioid
Funds described in Section C.4.a will apply. Each Allocation Region must have
an OAC whose composition and responsibilities shall be defined by Regional
Agreement or as set forth in Section CA.
3. King County's Regional Agreement is reflected in Exhibit C to this
MOU.
4. All other Allocation Regions that have not specified a Regional
Agreement for allocating, distributing and managing Opioid Funds, will apply
the following default methodology:
a. Opioid Funds shall be allocated within each Allocation Region by
taking the allocation for a Participating County from Exhibit B and
apportioning those funds between that Participating County and its
Participating Cities and Towns. Exhibit B also sets forth the allocation to
the Participating Counties and the Participating Cities or Towns within the
Counties based on a default allocation formula. As set forth above in
Section B.3, to determine the allocation to a county, this formula utilizes:
(1) the amount of opioids shipped to the county; (2) the number of opioid
deaths that occurred in that county; and (3) the number of people who
suffer opioid use disorder in that county. To determine the allocation
within a county, the formula utilizes historical federal data showing how
the specific Counties and the Cities and Towns within the Counties have
4
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
made opioids epidemic -related expenditures in the past. This is the same
methodology used in the National Settlement Agreements for county and
intra-county allocations. A Participating County, and the Cities and Towns
within it may enter into a separate intra-county allocation agreement to
modify how the Opioid Funds are allocated amongst themselves, provided
the modification is in writing and agreed to by all Participating Local
Governments in the County. Such an agreement shall not modify any of
the other terms or requirements of this MOU.
b. 10% of the Opioid Funds received by the Region will be reserved,
on an annual basis, for administrative costs related to the OAC. The OAC
will provide an annual accounting for actual costs and any reserved funds
that exceed actual costs will be reallocated to Participating Local
Governments within the Region.
C. Cities and towns with a population of less than 10,000 shall be
excluded from the allocation, with the exception of cities and towns that
are Litigating Participating Local Governments. The portion of the Opioid
Funds that would have been allocated to a city or town with a population
of less than 10,000 that is not a Litigating Participating Local Government
shall be redistributed to Participating Counties in the manner directed
in CA.a above.
d. Each Participating County, City, or Town may elect to have its
share re -allocated to the OAC in which it is located. The OAC will then
utilize this share for the benefit of Participating Local Governments within
that Allocation Region, consistent with the Approved Purposes set forth in
Exhibit A. A Participating Local Government's election to forego its
allocation of Opioid Funds shall apply to all future allocations unless the
Participating Local Government notifies its respective OAC otherwise. If a
Participating Local Government elects to forego its allocation of the
Opioid Funds, the Participating Local Government shall be excused from
the reporting requirements set forth in this Agreement.
e. Participating Local Governments that receive a direct
payment maintain full discretion over the use and distribution of their
allocation of Opioid Funds, provided the Opioid Funds are used solely for
Approved Purposes. Reasonable administrative costs for a Participating
Local Government to administer its allocation of Opioid Funds shall not
exceed actual costs or 10% of the Participating Local Government's
allocation of Opioid Funds, whichever is less.
f. A Local Government that chooses not to become a Participating
Local Government will not receive a direct allocation of Opioid Funds.
The portion of the Opioid Funds that would have been allocated to a Local
Government that is not a Participating Local Government shall be
5
r �
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
redistributed to Participating Counties in the manner directed
in CA.a above.
g. As a condition of receiving a direct payment, each Participating
Local Government that receives a direct payment agrees to undertake the
following actions:
i. Developing a methodology for obtaining proposals for
use of Opioid Funds.
ii. Ensuring there is opportunity for community -based input
on priorities for Opioid Fund programs and services.
iii. Receiving and reviewing proposals for use of Opioid Funds
for Approved Purposes.
iv. Approving or denying proposals for use of Opioid
Funds for Approved Purposes.
V. Receiving funds from the Trustee for approved
proposals and distributing the Opioid Funds to the
recipient.
vi. Reporting to the OAC and making publicly available all
decisions on Opioid Fund allocation applications,
distributions and expenditures.
h. Prior to any distribution of Opioid Funds within the Allocation
Region, The Participating Local Governments must establish an Opioid
Abatement Council (OAC) to oversee Opioid Fund allocation,
distribution, expenditures and dispute resolution. The OAC may be a
preexisting regional body or may be a new body created for purposes of
executing the obligations of this MOU.
i. The OAC for each Allocation Region shall be composed of
representation from both Participating Counties and Participating Towns
or Cities within the Region. The method of selecting members, and the
terms for which they will serve will be determined by the Allocation
Region's Participating Local Governments. All persons who serve on the
OAC must have work or educational experience pertaining to one or more
Approved Uses.
j. The Regional OAC will be responsible for the following actions:
i. Overseeing distribution of Opioid Funds from Participating
Local Governments to programs and services within the
Allocation Region for Approved Purposes.
6 o:a
fir_; c
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
ii. Annual review of expenditure reports from
Participating Local Jurisdictions within the Allocation
Region for compliance with Approved Purposes and the
terms of this MOU and any Settlement.
iii. In the case where Participating Local Governments
chose to forego their allocation of Opioid Funds:
(i) Approving or denying proposals by Participating
Local Governments or community groups to the OAC for
use of Opioid Funds within the Allocation Region.
(ii) Directing the Trustee to distribute Opioid Funds for use
by Participating Local Governments or community groups
whose proposals are approved by the OAC.
(iii) Administrating and maintaining records of all OAC
decisions and distributions of Opioid Funds.
iv. Reporting and making publicly available all decisions on
Opioid Fund allocation applications, distributions and
expenditures by the OAC or directly by Participating
Local Governments.
V. Developing and maintaining a centralized public
dashboard or other repository for the publication of
expenditure data from any Participating Local Government
that receives Opioid Funds, and for expenditures by the
OAC in that Allocation Region, which it shall update at
least annually.
vi. If necessary, requiring and collecting additional
outcome- related data from Participating Local
Governments to evaluate the use of Opioid Funds, and all
Participating Local Governments shall comply with such
requirements.
vii. Hearing complaints by Participating Local Governments
within the Allocation Region regarding alleged failure to
(1) use Opioid Funds for Approved Purposes or (2) comply
with reporting requirements.
5. Participating Local Governments may agree and elect to share,
pool, or collaborate with their respective allocation of Opioid Funds in any
manner they choose by adopting a Regional Agreement, so long as such
sharing, pooling, or collaboration is used for Approved Purposes and
complies with the terms of this MOU and any Settlement.
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
6. Nothing in this MOU should alter or change any Participating
Local Government's rights to pursue its own claim. Rather, the intent of
this MOU is to join all parties who wish to be Participating Local
Governments to agree upon an allocation formula for any Opioid Funds
from any future binding Settlement with one or more Pharmaceutical
Supply Chain Participants for all Local Governments in the State of
Washington.
7. If any Participating Local Government disputes the amount it
receives from its allocation of Opioid Funds, the Participating Local
Government shall alert its respective OAC within sixty (60) days of
discovering the information underlying the dispute. Failure to alert its
OAC within this time frame shall not constitute a waiver of the
Participating Local Government's right to seek recoupment of any
deficiency in its allocation of Opioid Funds.
8. If any OAC concludes that a Participating Local Government's
expenditure of its allocation of Opioid Funds did not comply with the
Approved Purposes listed in Exhibit A, or the terms of this MOU, or that
the Participating Local Government otherwise misused its allocation of
Opioid Funds, the OAC may take remedial action against the alleged
offending Participating Local Government. Such remedial action is left to
the discretion of the OAC and may include withholding future Opioid
Funds owed to the offending Participating Local Government or requiring
the offending Participating Local Government to reimburse improperly
expended Opioid Funds back to the OAC to be re -allocated to the
remaining Participating Local Governments within that Region.
9. All Participating Local Governments and OAC shall maintain all
records related to the receipt and expenditure of Opioid Funds for no less
than five (5) years and shall make such records available for review by
any other Participating Local Government or OAC, or the public. Records
requested by the public shall be produced in accordance with
Washington's Public Records Act RCW 42.56.001 et seq. Records
requested by another Participating Local Government or an OAC shall be
produced within twenty-one (21) days of the date the record request was
received. This requirement does not supplant any Participating Local
Government or OAC's obligations under Washington's Public Records
Act RCW 42.56.001 et seq.
D. Payment of Counsel and Litigation Expenses
I . The Litigating Local Governments have incurred attorneys' fees
and litigation expenses relating to their prosecution of claims against the
Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants, and this prosecution has inured to the
benefit of all Participating Local Governments. Accordingly, a Washington
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
Government Fee Fund ("GFF") shall be established that ensures that all Parties
that receive Opioid Funds contribute to the payment of fees and expenses incurred
to prosecute the claims against the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants,
regardless of whether they are litigating or non -litigating entities.
2. The amount of the GFF shall be based as follows: the funds to be
deposited in the GFF shall be equal to 15% of the total cash value of the Opioid
Funds.
3. The maximum percentage of any contingency fee agreement
permitted for compensation shall be 15% of the portion of the Opioid Funds
allocated to the Litigating Local Government that is a party to the contingency fee
agreement, plus expenses attributable to that Litigating Local Government. Under
no circumstances may counsel collect more for its work on behalf of a Litigating
Local Government than it would under its contingency agreement with that
Litigating Local Government.
4. Payments from the GFF shall be overseen by a committee (the
"Opioid Fee and Expense Committee") consisting of one representative of the
following law firms: (a) Keller Rohrback L.LP.; (b) Hagens Berman Sobol
Shapiro LLP; (c) Goldfarb & Huck Roth Riojas, PLLC; and (d) Napoli Shkolnik
PLLC. The role of the Opioid Fee and Expense Committee shall be limited to
ensuring that the GFF is administered in accordance with this Section.
5. In the event that settling Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants
do not pay the fees and expenses of the Participating Local Governments directly
at the time settlement is achieved, payments to counsel for Participating Local
Governments shall be made from the GFF over not more than three years, with
50% paid within 12 months of the date of Settlement and 25% paid in each
subsequent year, or at the time the total Settlement amount is paid to the Trustee
by the Defendants, whichever is sooner.
6. Any funds remaining in the GFF in excess of: (i) the amounts
needed to cover Litigating Local Governments' private counsel's representation
agreements, and (ii) the amounts needed to cover the common benefit tax
discussed in Section C.8 below (if not paid directly by the Defendants in
connection with future settlement(s), shall revert to the Participating Local
Governments pro rata according to the percentages set forth in Exhibits B, to be
used for Approved Purposes as set forth herein and in Exhibit A.
7. In the event that funds in the GFF are not sufficient to pay all fees
and expenses owed under this Section, payments to counsel for all Litigating
Local Governments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. The Litigating Local
Governments will not be responsible for any of these reduced amounts.
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
8. The Parties anticipate that any Opioid Funds they receive will be
subject to a common benefit "tax" imposed by the court in In Re: National
Prescription Opiate Litigation, United States District Court for the Northern
District of Ohio, Case No. 1:17-and-02804-DAP ("Common Benefit Tax"). If this
occurs, the Participating Local Governments shall first seek to have the settling
defendants pay the Common Benefit Tax. If the settling defendants do not agree
to pay the Common Benefit Tax, then the Common Benefit Tax shall be paid
from the Opioid Funds and by both litigating and non -litigating Local
Governments. This payment shall occur prior to allocation and distribution of
funds to the Participating Local Governments. In the event that GFF is not fully
exhausted to pay the Litigating Local Governments' private counsel's
representation agreements, excess funds in the GFF shall be applied to pay the
Common Benefit Tax (if any).
E. General Terms
1. If any Participating Local Government believes another
Participating Local Government, not including the Regional Abatement Advisory
Councils, violated the terms of this MOU, the alleging Participating Local
Government may seek to enforce the terms of this MOU in the court in which any
applicable Settlement(s) was entered, provided the alleging Participating Local
Government first provides the alleged offending Participating Local Government
notice of the alleged violation(s) and a reasonable opportunity to cure the alleged
violation(s). In such an enforcement action, any alleging Participating Local
Government or alleged offending Participating Local Government may be
represented by their respective public entity in accordance with Washington law.
2. Nothing in this MOU shall be interpreted to waive the right of any
Participating Local Government to seek judicial relief for conduct occurring
outside the scope of this MOU that violates any Washington law. In such an
action, the alleged offending Participating Local Government, including the
Regional Abatement Advisory Councils, may be represented by their respective
public entities in accordance with Washington law. In the event of a conflict, any
Participating Local Government, including the Regional Abatement Advisory
Councils and its Members, may seek outside representation to defend itself
against such an action.
3. Venue for any legal action related to this MOU shall be in the
court in which the Participating Local Government is located or in accordance
with the court rules on venue in that jurisdiction. This provision is not intended to
expand the court rules on venue.
4. This MOU may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the
same instrument. The Participating Local Governments approve the use of
electronic signatures for execution of this MOU. All use of electronic signatures
10 ova
Docusign Envelope ID: 5E6A34C9-CB40-4D2E-86EA-B75057618CE8
shall be governed by the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The Parties agree
not to deny the legal effect or enforceability of the MOU solely because it is in
electronic form or because an electronic record was used in its formation. The
Participating Local Government agree not to object to the admissibility of the
MOU in the form of an electronic record, or a paper copy of an electronic
document, or a paper copy of a document bearing an electronic signature, on
the grounds that it is an electronic record or electronic signature or that it is not in
its original form or is not an original.
5. Each Participating Local Government represents that all
procedures necessary to authorize such Participating Local Government's
execution of this MOU have been performed and that the person signing for
such Parry has been authorized to execute the MOU.

KING COUNTY REGIONAL AGREEMENT
King County intends to explore coordination with its cities and towns to facilitate a Regional
Agreement for Opioid Fund allocation. Should some cities and towns choose not to participate in
a Regional Agreement, this shall not preclude coordinated allocation for programs and services
between the County and those cities and towns who elect to pursue a Regional Agreement. As
contemplated in C.5 of the MOU, any Regional Agreement shall comply with the terms of the
MOU and any Settlement. If no Regional Agreement is achieved, the default methodology for
allocation in CA of the MOU shall apply.
