Washington State Department of Commerce Associate Development Organizations Eligibility & Designation Guidelines March 2023 2023-2025 biennium (07/01/2023-06/3012025) 1 Overview Washington's Department of Commerce (Commerce) maintains a contracted partnership with 34 Associate Development Organizations (ADOs), serving 39 counties, through both technical assistance and funding for local economic development activities. Each county in the state has designated an organization as their ADO to partner with Commerce and serve as the lead on local economic development activities in their county. This guide is provided to assist county leaders in the process of designating the most effective organization to serve as the ADO for their county. The criteria that Commerce uses to approve and negotiate a contract with a county-designated ADO is also covered. The origins of ADOs date back to Governor Booth Gardner's Team Washington strategy that was initiated in 1985 to develop public-private, and state-local partnerships across the state. At first the Local Economic Development Assistance Program (LEDA) provided administrative grants to 33 ADOs that served the state's 39 counties. ADOs were to become the principal contact for the department and all county economic development elements (chambers, towns, ports, businesses, etc.) would coordinate their efforts through their local ADO. Expectations of ADOs The broad role of an Associate Development Organization is that of advocacy and leadership, serving as the point of contact for local economic activities, recruiting/hosting new businesses, and coordinating business retention and expansion efforts within its service area. The ADO serves as the principal contact for Commerce regarding economic activity in their area. ADOs help Commerce gather data about community profiles, industrial sites, plans for business development and retention, reports on business activities, and proposals for other economic activities in their service areas. ADOs are described in more detail in RCW 43.330.080, and a copy of that code is provided in the reference section of this guide. Specific expectations of the ADO, as assessed by Commerce for contracting purposes include: 1) Partner with Commerce: The designated ADO organizations shall partner with Commerce as the lead local economic development organization in their service area to deliver economic development services at the local level. Through a contracted partnership, Commerce determines the scope of services delivered under the ADO grant/contract in collaboration with the ADO. The ADO works closely with Commerce to develop and carry out strategies and show potential for long-term sustainable growth. 2) Contracting Organizations (ADOs) in each Community or Regional Area Must Be "broadly representative of community and economic interests... capable of identifying key problems... and mobilizing broad support for recommended initiatives." The code lists key players as: • local governments • chambers of commerce • workforce development councils • port districts • labor groups • institutions of higher education • community action programs • other appropriate private, public, or nonprofit community and economic development groups. 2 3) Best Practice Sharing: ADOs must meet and share best practices with other ADOs at least two times a year. 4) Resources and Services Provided to Local Businesses: ADOs shall provide direct assistance, including business planning, to companies throughout the county who need support to stay in business, expand, or relocate to Washington from out of state or other countries. Assistance must comply with business recruitment and retention protocols established in RCW 43.330.062. 5) Regional Planning: Support for regional economic research and regional planning efforts to implement target industry sector strategies and other economic development strategies including cluster-based strategies. 6) Reports to Commerce: ADOs report quarterly on activity outcomes; i.e., Business Retention and Expansion assistance; Business Recruitment, Entrepreneurial Business Start-ups, etc. They also provide information on how they coordinate and collaborate with other organizations and jurisdictions in their counties, as well as other significant accomplishments. Timelines for reporting are in each grant/contract. 7) Formal designation by County: The County's Board of Commissioners must formally designate an organization to serve as its ADO, providing Commerce with a signed statement of designation along with a certification of eligibility. 3 References RCW 43.330.080 Coordination of community and economic development services — Contracts with county- designated associate development organizations — Scope of services — Business services training.

CONTRACTOR MASON COUNTY Athena Ayres Sharon Trask, Chair Executive Director, Community Lifeline Mason County Board of County Commissioners 1 March 26, 2023 Community Lifeline of Mason County Security and Lighting Project Proposed Scope and Budget Background Community Lifeline of Mason County (CL) is a low barrier shelter provider for adults needing temporary shelter, food, case management and other services in support of transitioning to permanent long-term housing. CL currently serves up to 35 residents under its approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The demand for shelter usually exceeds this number, especially on cold winter days. CL has pursued expanding services for up to 50 residents via a CUP amendment. Denied twice in the past 12 months by the Shelton Hearing Examiner based largely on CL neighbors citing property damage, insufficient supervision outside of the facility, poor exterior lighting and security as reasons to deny service expansion. The Security and Lighting Project now proposed would address the primary concerns of CL neighbors, provide for CL staff efficiency in supervision and support a re-application for a CUP amendment before next winter. Scope of Work CL board member Dan Chandler solicited three quotes for the proposed security and lighting work along with preliminary estimates for a new front door with a card reader and electric strike for remote entry. Two security and lighting proposals were received. The quote from Reliable Electric was the most comprehensive and competitive. Firm front door replacement proposals will now be solicited. Actual scope of work will be prioritized to maximize lighting, security and other improvements to support expansion of services. (See attached contractor sketch).

Mason County would increase competitiveness in the market with this additional benefic for prospective as well as existing employees. An FSA benefit is the opportunity for employees to defer pre-tax dollars to an account they can use for healthcare-or daycare-related costs. There is also a FICA tax savings to the County. Maximum elections for healthcare are$3,050. Maximum elections for daycare are$5,000. Poll results indicate that approximately 70 employees(20%)would be interested in this benefit. Budget Impact(amount, funding source,budget amendment): This information assumes 70 employees(20%)participating with an average election amount of$1,600 and a total election amount of$112,000.

Attachments: Navia Benefit Proposal NAVIA FSA BENEFIT PROPOSAL April 3, 2023 1. Background O As part of HR's strategic plan and employee demand, HR has researched a Flexible Spending Account(FSA) Benefit. Mason County would increase competitiveness in the market with this additional benefit for prospective as well as existing employees. A FSA Benefit is the opportunity for employees to defer pre-tax dollars to an account they can use for health or day care related costs. 2. Hard Costs Navia Annual Fee $4.50 per participant(employee)per month Costs are dependent upon employee participation—Poll indicates 70 employees interested(20%). Maximum elections for 2023-$3,050 for healthcare and$5,000 daycare Cost Formula (FICA Tax Savings): #of employees x elections amount x 7.65% (FICA Tax) Example: Election amount of$1,600 and 20% (70 employees)participation 70(employees) x$1,600 (assumed elections) _ $112,000 $112,000 x.0765(FICA Tax) _ $8,568 (savings) $8,568-$3,750 (Navia annual costs) _ $4,818 savings County pays 10% deposit up front to Navia to cover immediate costs and then invoiced weekly based on claims of employees (deposit is refundable if we leave Navia) Using scenario above $112,000 x.10 = $11,120 3. Soft Costs O The County holds the funds. Navia pays out the claims and invoices the County for claim cost. HR-Management of enrollees, separated employees, and eligibility deduction reporting. Payroll—Deduction from employee salary Invoicing— Weekly invoices from Navia to be processed for employee claims 1 4. Program Customization Unused elections (forfeitures) options: 1. Employees may rollover up to $610. 2. Offer employees a 2-month grace period to spend down unused elections. 3. Unused funds are forfeited back to the County and used for administrative costs. 5. Risk Employee uses entire healthcare election amount and then separates employment with nothing deducted(max cost$3,050/per employee enrolled) Navia advises this is extremely rare. Day care FSA may only be used as accrued(no risk) 6.

Each of the Settlements can be accessed at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/. The terms and definitions of each of the respective Settlement are incorporated into this Allocation Agreement I1, and any undefined terms in this Allocation Agreement II are as defined in the Settlements. 1. This Allocation Agreement II is intended to be a State-Subdivision Agreement as defined in the Settlements. This Allocation Agreement II shall be interpreted to be consistent with the requirements of a State-Subdivision Agreement in the Settlements. 2. This Allocation Agreement II shall become effective only if all of the following occur: A. The State of Washington joins one of the Settlements and becomes a Settling State as provided for in the respective Settlement. B. One of the Settlements becomes final and effective and a Consent Judgment is filed and approved as provided for in the respective Settlement. 1 C. The number of Local Governments that execute and return this Allocation Agreement II satisfies the participation requirements for a State- Subdivision Agreement as specified in one of the Settlements, Washington is a Settling State for that Settlement, and a Consent Judgment has been filed and approved for that Settlement. 3. Requirements to become a Participating Local Government. To become a Participating Local Government that can participate in this Allocation Agreement II with respect to any one of the Settlements, a Local Government must do all of the following: A. The Local Government must execute and return this Allocation Agreement II. B. The Local Government must release its claims against the Settling Entities identified in the respective Settlement and agree to be bound by the terms of the Settlement by timely executing and returning the Participation Form for that Settlement. The forms are attached hereto as Exhibits 1-5. C. Litigating Subdivisions, also referred to as Litigating Local Governments, must dismiss the Settling Entities identified in the respective Settlement with prejudice from their lawsuits. D. Each of the Local Governments that is eligible to participate in this Allocation Agreement II has previously executed and signed the One Washington Memorandum of Understanding Between Washington Municipalities ("MOU") agreed to by the Participating Local Governments in Washington State, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 6. By executing this Allocation Agreement II, the local government agrees and affirms that the MOU applies to and shall govern the Local Government Share as modified by this Allocation Agreement II for each of the Settlements in which the Local Government participates. A Local Government that meets all of the conditions in this paragraph for any of the Settlements shall be deemed a"Participating Local Government" for that Settlement. A Local Government can be a"Participating Local Government" for less than all of the Settlements. If a Local Government is a Participating Local Government for less than all of the Settlements, the Local Government can only receive a portion of the Washington Abatement Amount for the specific Settlement(s) for which it is a Participating Local Government. 4. This Allocation Agreement II applies to the following, all of which collectively shall be referred to as the "Washington Abatement Amount": A. For the Walmart Settlement, the State of Washington's allocation of the (1) Global Settlement Remediation Amount and(2)Additional Remediation Amount. 2 B. For the Teva Settlement, the State of Washington's allocation of the (1) Net Abatement Amount and(2)Additional Restitution Amount. C.

As specified in each of the Settlements, the Washington Abatement Amount will vary dependent on the percentage of Participating Local Governments and whether there are any Later Litigating Subdivisions. 5. The Teva Settlement provides the option for Settling States to obtain Settlement Product or the discretion to convert any portion of the Settlement Product allocated to the Settling State into a cash value equaling twenty percent(20%) of the WAC value of the Settling State's allocated Settlement Product in specified years. It shall be solely the decision of the State regarding whether to convert any portion of the Settlement Product allocated to Washington into a cash value or to obtain the Settlement Product. If the State elects to obtain Settlement Product, the State in its sole discretion shall make all decisions related to the Settlement Product, including but not limited to where, how, and to whom it shall be distributed. For purposes of calculating the division of the Washington Abatement Amount in Paragraph 10 of this Allocation Agreement II, the Settlement Product allocated to Washington shall be considered"State Share" and shall have the cash value assigned to it in the Teva Public Global Settlement Agreement dated November 22, 2022. 6. This Allocation Agreement II does not apply to the State Cost Fund, State AG Fees and Costs, or any attorneys' fees, fees, costs, or expenses referred to in the Settlement or that are paid directly or indirectly via the Settlements to the State of Washington("State's Fees and Costs"). 7. This Allocation Agreement II and the MOU are a State Back-Stop Agreement. The Settling Entities are paying a portion of the Local Governments' attorneys' fees and costs as provided for in the Settlements. The total contingent fees an attorney receives from the Contingency Fee Fund in the Settlements, the MOU, and this Allocation Agreement II 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 Walmart 3 Settlement, then the maximum that the firm can receive is $150,000 for fees as to the Walmart Settlement; if City X did not retain the same firm for potential litigation against CVS and City X receives $1,000,000 from the CVS Settlement, then the firm receives no fees from the CVS Settlement.) 8. No portion of the State's Fees and Costs and/or the State Share as defined in Paragraphs 6 and 10 of this Allocation Agreement II shall be used to fund the Government Fee Fund("GFF") referred to in Paragraph 12 of this Allocation Agreement II and Section D of the MOU, or in any other way to fund any Participating Local Government's attorneys' fees, costs, or common benefit tax. 9. The Washington Abatement Amount shall and must be used by the State and Participating Local Governments for future Opioid Remediation as defined in the Settlements, except as allowed by the Settlements. 10. The State and the Participating Local Governments agree to divide the Washington Abatement Amount as follows: A. Fifty percent(50%)to the State of Washington ("State Share"). B. Fifty percent(50%)to the Participating Local Governments ("LG Share"). 11. The LG Share shall be distributed to Participating Local Governments pursuant to the MOU attached hereto as Exhibit 6 as amended and modified in this Allocation Agreement II. 12. For purposes of this Allocation Agreement II 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 each of the respective Settlements. B. The definition of"Litigating Local Governments" in Section A.4 of the MOU shall mean Litigating Subdivisions as defined in each the respective Settlements. C. The definition of"National Settlement Agreement" in Section A.6 of the MOU shall mean the Settlements. D. The definition of"Settlement"in Section A.14 of the MOU shall mean the Settlements. E. The MOU is amended to add new Section C.4.g.vii,which provides as follows: "If a Participating Local Government receiving a direct payment (a)uses Opioid Funds other than as provided for in the respective Settlements, (b) does not comply with conditions for receiving 4 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 CA.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.iii 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 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 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-md- 02804-DAP Doc #: 4543 (June 17, 2022). JoJo Tann(the "GFF Administrator"), who is authorized by the MDL Fee Panel (David R. Cohen, Randi S. Ellis and Hon. David R. Herndon (ret.))to calculate the amounts due to eligible counsel from each State Back-Stop fund(i.e., the GFF) (see id. at p. 4),will oversee and confirm the amounts payable to each law firm representing a Litigating Local Government from the GFF. Upon written agreement between the law firms representing the Litigating Local Governments on the one hand and the Washington Attorney General's Office on the other, in consultation with the Washington State Association of Counties and the Association of Washington Cities, the GFF Administrator may be replaced by another person, firm, or entity. 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 5 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. I. The maximum amount of any Litigating Local Government contingency fee agreement (from the Contingency Fee Fund of the respective Settlements)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 Walmart 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 Settlements, amounts due to Participating Litigating Subdivisions' attorneys under this Allocation Agreement II 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 Settlements, or (iii) costs paid to subdivision attorneys from the MDL Expense Fund for expenses incurred by the attorneys pursuant to the Settlements. 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.

EXHIBIT 6 One Washington Memorandum of Understanding Between Washington Municipalities 15 ONE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN 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; Whereas, certain Local Governments, through their elected representatives and counsel, are engaged in litigation seeking to hold these entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain of 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. Now therefore, the Local Governments enter into this Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") relating to the allocation and use of the proceeds of Settlements described. A. Definitions As used in this MOU: 1. "Allocation Regions" are the same geographic areas as the existing nine (9)Washington State Accountable Community of Health(ACH) Regions and have the purpose described in Section C below. 2. "Approved Purpose(s)" shall mean the strategies specified and set forth in the Opioid Abatement Strategies attached as Exhibit A. 3. "Effective Date" shall mean the date on which a court of competent jurisdiction enters the first Settlement by order or consent decree. The Parties anticipate that more than one Settlement will be administered according to the terms of this MOU, but that the first entered Settlement will trigger allocation of Opioid Funds in accordance with Section B herein, and the formation of the Opioid Abatement Councils in Section C. 4. "Litigating Local Government(s)" shall mean Local Governments that filed suit against any Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participant pertaining to the Opioid epidemic prior to September 1, 2020. 1 5. "Local Government(s)" shall mean all counties, cities, and towns within the geographic boundaries of the State of Washington. 6. "National Settlement Agreements"means the national opioid settlement agreements dated July 21, 2021 involving Johnson & Johnson, and distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson as well as their subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and directors named in the National Settlement Agreements, including all amendments thereto. 7. "Opioid Funds" shall mean monetary amounts obtained through a Settlement as defined in this MOU. 8. "Opioid Abatement Council" shall have the meaning described in Section C below. 9. "Participating Local Government(s)" shall mean all counties, cities, and towns within the geographic boundaries of the State that have chosen to sign on to this MOU. The Participating Local Governments may be referred to separately in this MOU as "Participating Counties" and"Participating Cities and Towns" (or"Participating Cities or Towns,"as appropriate) or"Parties." 10. "Pharmaceutical Supply Chain" shall mean the process and channels through which controlled substances are manufactured, marketed, promoted, distributed, and/or dispensed, including prescription opioids. 11. "Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participant" shall mean any entity that engages in or has engaged in the manufacture, marketing, promotion, distribution, and/or dispensing of a prescription opioid, including any entity that has assisted in any of the above. 12. "Qualified Settlement Fund Account," or"QSF Account," shall mean an account set up as a qualified settlement fund, 468b fund, as authorized by Treasury Regulations 1.46813-1(c) (26 CFR §1.468B-1). 13. "Regional Agreements" shall mean the understanding reached by the Participating Local Counties and Cities within an Allocation Region governing the allocation, management, distribution of Opioid Funds within that Allocation Region. 14. "Settlement" shall mean the future negotiated resolution of legal or equitable claims against a Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participant when that resolution has been jointly entered into by the Participating Local Governments. "Settlement" expressly does not include a plan of reorganization confirmed under Title 11 of the United States Code, irrespective of the extent to which Participating Local Governments vote in favor of or otherwise support such plan of reorganization. 2 15. "Trustee" shall mean an independent trustee who shall be responsible for the ministerial task of releasing Opioid Funds from a QSF account to Participating Local Governments as authorized herein and accounting for all payments into or out of the trust. 16.

All Opioid Funds shall be held in a QSF and distributed by the Trustee, for the benefit of the Participating Local Governments, only in a manner consistent with this MOU. Distribution of Opioid Funds will be subject to the mechanisms for auditing and reporting set forth below to provide public accountability and transparency. 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 Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Case No. 1:17-and-02804-DAP. The 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 I. 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 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 C.4. 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 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 C.4.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 redistributed to Participating Counties in the manner directed in C.4.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 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. 7 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 8 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 Rioj as, 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. 9 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 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.

Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including owned, non-owned and hired autos, or the exact equivalent. Limits shall be no less than $ 1, 000,000 per accident, combined single limit. If CONTRACTOR owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If CONTRACTOR or CONTRACTOR's employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, CONTRACTOR shall obtain evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person. 4. Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Such policy or policies shall include as insureds those covered by the underlying policies, including additional insureds. Coverage shall be "pay on behalf', with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to COUNTY for injury to employees of CONTRACTOR, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of COUNTY following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. B. Certificate of Insurance: A Certificate of Insurance naming COUNTY as the Certificate Holder must be provided to COUNTY within five (5) days of CONTRACT execution. C. Basic Stipulations: 1. CONTRACTOR agrees to endorse third party liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds COUNTY, its officials, employees and agents, using ISO endorsement CG 20 10 with an edition date prior to 2004. CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all subcontractors, and anyone else involved in this CONTRACT on behalf of the CONTRACTOR hereinafter "indemnifying parties") to comply with these provisions. 2. CONTRACTOR agrees to waive rights of recovery against COUNTY regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all indemnifying parties to do likewise. 3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by CONTRACTOR or required of others by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this CONTRACT shall be endorsed to delete the subrogation condition as to COUNTY or must specifically allow the named insured to waive subrogation prior to a loss. 4. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification, and additional requirements by COUNTY. CONTRACTOR shall not make any reductions in scope or limits of coverage that may affect COUNTY's protection without COUNTY's prior written consent. 5. CONTRACTOR agrees upon request by COUNTY to provide complete, certified copies of any policies required within ten (10) days of such request COUNTY has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests. Any premium so paid by COUNTY shall be charged to and promptly paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from sums due CONTRACTOR. Any 9 actual or alleged failure on the part of COUNTY or any other additional insured under these requirements to obtain proof of insurance required under this CONTRACT in no way waives any right or remedy of COUNTY or any additional insured, in this or in any other regard. 6. It is acknowledged by the parties of this CONTRACT that all insurance coverage required to be provided by CONTRACTOR or indemnifying party, is intended to apply first and on a primary non - contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to COUNTY. 7. CONTRACTOR agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any indemnifying party to self-insure its obligations to COUNTY. If CONTRACTOR's existing coverage includes a self- insured retention, the self-insured retention must be declared to the COUNTY. The COUNTY may review options with CONTRACTOR, which may include reduction or elimination of the self- insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 8. CONTRACTOR will renew the required coverage annually as long as COUNTY, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this CONTRACT. This obligation applies whether or not the CONTRACT is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until COUNTY executes a written statement to that effect. 9. The limits of insurance as described above shall be considered as minimum requirements. Should any coverage carried by CONTRACTOR or a subcontractor of any tier maintain insurance with limits of liability that exceed the required limits or coverage that is broader than as outlined above, those higher limits and broader coverage shall be deemed to apply for the benefit of any person or organization included as an additional insured and those limits shall become the required minimum limits of insurance in all Paragraphs and Sections of this CONTRACT. 10. None of the policies required herein shall be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement that has not been first submitted to COUNTY and approved of in writing. 11. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this CONTRACT to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Exhibit. 12.

Nothing contained in this CONTRACT limits the application of such insurance coverage. 14. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide prompt notice to COUNTY of any notice of cancellation of any required policy or of any material alteration or non -renewal of any such policy, other than for non- payment of premium. CONTRACTOR shall assure that this provision also applies to any of its employees, agents or subcontractors engaged by or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in relation to this CONTRACT. 15. COUNTY reserves the right at any time during the term of the CONTRACT to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR's compensation. 16. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitation on other requirements or as waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all-inclusive. 17. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to COUNTY of any claim or loss against CONTRACTOR arising out of the work performed under this CONTRACT. COUNTY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve COUNTY.
