Staff researched 23 other in-state and out-of-state cities and compiled a list of elements from ordinances that Director Rindge outlined with staff recommendations.
There was brief Council discussion about locations of the murals, upkeep, subject matter, design standards, and the possibility that murals will draw more visitors to the City.

email and phone to encourage them to get involved in the process and to keep them informed. There were also two community workshops held—one hybrid and the other in-person. Outreach efforts will continue throughout the process.
Mr. Westall stated that there were eleven draft maps submitted for consideration. Input from all maps submitted was taken into consideration along with ensuring that each district contains some type of park, school, and commercial street such as Lomita Boulevard, Narbonne Avenue, or Pacific Coast Highway. Some of Lomita’s blocks are very long so that too was a consideration.
He presented three draft maps for Council consideration which fulfill the legal requirements of meeting census population voting age population and citizens voting population from the American Community Survey. Draft map #1 has a 5.8 deviation, draft map #2 has a 3.4 deviation with more equalization of the population, and map #3 has a
4.2 deviation.
Council Member Waronek stressed the importance of keeping distinct neighborhoods together in a district as communities of interest. Mayor Waite shared the same community of interest concerns in areas with large apartment complexes and condominiums, particularly south of Pacific Coast Highway.
There was Council discussion about the difficulty of getting residents to run for Council, the personal costs incurred by Council Members, and Council salaries. Council also expressed their concern with having to go through the process of districting for such a small city of less than two square miles. It was the consensus of the Council for staff to bring back an item to discuss Council compensation, and another item to discuss ways to encourage community interest in running for office.
Mayor Waite opened the public hearing at 7:17 p.m.
Lomita resident Barbara Barker spoke briefly regarding the California Voting Rights Act and its aim of making sure that minorities in every community have a voice.
As there were no further requests from the public to speak on this item, Mayor Waite closed the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. and brought the item back for further discussion.
Mr. Westall stated that all three of the maps presented met the requirements of State and Federal law including the California Voting Rights Act and the California FAIR Maps Act.
He clarified the Council’s desire to create an additional map to address the concerns brought up by Council Member Waronek to present at the final public hearing on April 18, 2023. He stated that the public would be able to continue to submit maps until April 4, 2023, and the fourth draft map would be on the City’s website by April 11, 2023, for public review.
Council Member Waronek wanted the record to show that although he has a Polish surname, he identifies as half Mexican.
Mayor Pro Tem Uphoff made a motion, seconded by Council Member Segawa to approve the draft maps for circulation to the public for comment, including adding a fourth map for consideration available on the website by April 11, 2023.

Proclamation
ARBOR DAY
WHEREAS, in 1872 J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees, and WHEREAS, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska, and
WHEREAS, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world, and WHEREAS, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, cut heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce life-giving oxygen and provide habitat for wildlife, and
WHEREAS, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires and countless other wood products, and
WHEREAS, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Lomita does hereby proclaim April 28, 2023, as “ARBOR DAY.”
Further, we urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-being of this and future generations.
Dated this 4th day of April 2023

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Carla Dillon, P.E., Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: First Amendment to Agreement with AKM for Construction Management Services Related to the Cypress Facility Upgrades
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the First Amendment to Agreement 2020-22 with AKM Consulting Engineers for construction management services related to Cypress Facility upgrades for a total not to exceed $513,826 inclusive of previously approved funding; and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Amendment.
BACKGROUND
In July 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with AKM Consulting Engineers to serve as on-site construction managers for the addition of Granular Activated Carbon filtration systems and other upgrades at the Cypress Water Production Facility, and in January 2021, the construction contract was awarded to RC Foster.
While the project is nearly complete, several elements of the project scope have required additional oversight and review beyond what was originally anticipated. The project’s scope and duration have extended due to a variety of circumstances including supply chain delays and additional permitting requirements from the State Division of Drinking Water. This amendment will allow for continued construction management through the project completion in the coming months and ensure the City is able to demonstrate operation to the Division of Drinking Water as expeditiously as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT
The additional cost of the amendment is $38,600 and would bring the total contract amount to $513,826. Funds for this purpose are budgeted in FY22-23 in the Water Capital budget, account No. 520-840-5821.365, Cypress Water Production Upgrades. The City Item No. 7e

10. PERMITS AND LICENSES. CONSUL TANT will obtain and maintain during the term of this Agreement all necessary permits, licenses, and certificates that may be required in connection with the performance of services under this Agreement.
11. PREVAILING WAGES:
A. Prevailing Wage. CONSUL TANT is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., ("Prevailing Wage Laws"), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and "maintenance" projects. If the services are being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, CONSUL TANT agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Upon request, CITY shall provide CONSULTANT with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement. CONSUL TANT shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at the CONSULTANT'S principal place of business and at the project site. It is the intent of the parties to effectuate the requirements of sections 1771, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815 of the Labor Code within this Agreement, and CONSUL TANT shall therefore comply with such Labor Code sections to the fullest extent required by law. CONSUL TANT shall defend, indemnify and hold the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.
B. Registration/DIR Compliance. If the services are being performed on a public works project of over $25,000 when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work, or a public works project of over $15,000 when the project is for maintenance work, in addition to the foregoing, then pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, CONSUL TANT and all subconsultants must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR"). CONSUL TANT shall maintain registration for the duration of the project and require the same of any subconsultants. This project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be CONSULTANT'S sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements, including the submission of payroll records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against CONSUL TANT or any subconsultant that affect CONSULTANT'S performance of services, including any delay, shall be CONSULTANT'S sole responsibility. Any delay
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 40
DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4D6D-AC1E-DE979998496A ansmg out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered CONSUL TANT caused delay and shall not be compensable by CITY.
CONSTRUCTION shall defend, indemnify and hold CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against CONSUL TANT or any subconsultant.
C. Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, CONSUL TANT certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the Services.
D. Employment of Apprentices. CONSUL TANT and all subconsultants shall comply with the requirements of Labor Code sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices. Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be obtained from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship, San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.
E. CONSUL TANT or subconsultants may not perform work on a public works project with a subconsultant who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.1 or 1777.7. Any contract on a public works project entered into between CONSUL TANT and a debarred subconsultant is void as a matter of law. A debarred subconsultant may not receive any public money for performing work as a subconsultant on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid, or may have been paid to a debarred subconsultant by CONSUL TANT on the project shall be returned to CITY. CONSUL TANT shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subconsultant who has been allowed to work on the Project.
F. CONSUL TANT agrees to bind every subconsultant to the terms of the Agreement as far as such terms are applicable to subconsultant's portion of the work. CONSUL TANT shall be as fully responsible to CITY for the acts and omissions of its subconsultants and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by its subconsultants, as CONSULTANT is for acts and omissions of persons directly employed by CONSUL TANT. Nothing contained in these Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between any subconsultant and CITY.
12. TERMINATION.
A. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. Notice of termination shall be in writing.
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 41
DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4O6D-AC1E-DE97999B496A B. CONSUL TANT may terminate this Agreement. Notice will be in writing at least 30 days before the effective termination date.
C. In the event of such termination, CONSUL TANT shall cease services as of the date of termination, all finished or unfinished documents, data, drawings, maps, and other materials prepared by CONSULTANT shall, at CITY's option, become CITY's property, and CONSUL TANT will receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed up to the effective date of notice of termination.
D. Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure on its own terms services similar to those terminated.
13. INDEMNIFICATION.
A CONSUL TANT shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONSUL TANT's performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY'S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which· is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONSULTANT'S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONSUL TANT shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. CONSUL TANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.
B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSUL TANT as required by Section 18, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSUL TANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.
14. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSUL TANT's professional services.
CONSULTANT's attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY's written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
15. INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that CONSULTANT will act as an independent CONSUL TANT and will have control of all work and the manner in which is it performed. CONSUL TANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY.
CONSUL TANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to

DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4D6D-AC1E-DE979998496A direct CONSUL TANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSUL TANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
16. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. CONSUL TANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement. CONSUL TANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement. CONSUL TANT further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.
B. CONSUL TANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.
17. CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement. CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by CITY to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONSUL TANT to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
18. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
A. CONSUL TANT, at CONSUL TANT's own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:
1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONSUL TANT shall require all subconsultants similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers' Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONSULTANT for CITY.
2. General Liability Coverage. CONSUL TANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.
3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONSUL TANT shall maintain automobile
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 43
DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4O6D-AC1E-DE979998496A liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONSUL TANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.
4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONSUL TANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONSULTANT'S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONSUL TANT or by its employees, subconsultants, or subconsultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-peroccurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a "claims made basis," CONSUL TANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSUL TANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSUL TANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows.
CONSULTANT also agrees to require all CONSULTANTs, and subconsultants to do likewise.
1. "The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSUL TANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations."
2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.
3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.
5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 44
DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4O6D-AC1E-DE97999B496A coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.
6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days' written notice has been received by CITY.
C. CONSUL TANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSUL TANT arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
CITY 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 CITY.
D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY's option, CONSUL TANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
E. CONSUL TANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.
F. Failure on the part of CONSUL TANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 above.
G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention ("SIR") and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONSUL TANT (as the named insured) should CONSUL TANT fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONSUL TANT understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONSUL TANT as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONSULTANT'S behalf upon CONSULTANT'S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONSUL TANT for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.
19. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSUL TANT must obtain CITY's prior written approval to use any CONSUL TANTs while performing any portion of this Agreement.
Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONSUL TANT and the terms of compensation.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4O6O-AC1 E-DE97999B496A
20. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE The acceptance by the CONSUL TANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSUL TANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT'S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY'S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONSUL TANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTS and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONSUL TANT, its employees, sub-CONSUL TANTs and agents.
21. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSUL TANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during CITY'S review of CONSULTANT'S report or plans. Should the CONSUL TANT fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONSUL TANT. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSUL TANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
22. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT'S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT'S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

experience, hands-on field experience, as well as individuals who have successfully handled and navigated through water well and treatment facility projects, while all the while attending to concerns of the public and outside stakeholders.
Our proposed Construction Inspector is able to inspect electrical and control systems, as well as coating and lining systems for water applications. It is a requirement for all AKM Construction Management Team Members to possess the ability to inspect these aspects of construction. As such, there is a greater level of inspection continuity and quality assurance amongst the various aspects of construction since it inspected by the same individual. Often times when projects are staffed with multiple inspectors assigned to individual trades, inspection responsibilities become blurred and important details are over-looked. This also enables AKM to have greater control over the quality of inspections and translates to cost savings for the City.
Our proposed team will remain available for the duration of the project. Key personnel will not be reassigned without the City's written approval.
Additionally, because AKM is a full service engineering consulting firm, the proposed Project Team has intimate understanding of construction and maintenance projects from the projects' initial planning and design, through the bid process and construction, and to project close out and warrantee periods.

EDWARD C. LITTLE WATER RECYCLING FACILITY R.O. CLEAN IN PLACE WASTE DISCHARGE PROJECT West Basin Municipal Water District -17140 S. Avalon Blvd., Suite 210, Carson, CA 90746 Contact: Mr. Rajen Budhia, Currently at Metropolitan Water District [email protected] Bid-Build : Construction Cost: $6,400,000 A/E Fee: $1,163,580 Schedule: 12/2016-12/2018 Role: Prime Construction Management I Inspection Contractor: Kiewit Infrastructure West Co.
AKM Staff: E. Kayiran (PM/Construction Manager); S. Patterson (Resident Engineer/Lead Inspector) AKM provided construction management and inspection services for the project. Which was within an existing water treatment plant.
AKM's team was stationed on-site in a construction trailer to support the project which involved sequestering and then neutralizing the clean-in-place solution waste for the existing reverse osmosis (RO) system in order to discharge to the local sewer system as opposed to the treatment facility's brine line, which it previously was discharging to. Specific project work elements included demolition of an existing solids contact clarifier and construction of two cast-in-place reinforced concrete neutralization tanks for the RO cleanin-place waste, including a corrosion resistant coating, discharge and recirculation pumps, associated valves and piping; construction of a new RO clean-in-place waste sump for the collection of RO clean-in-place discharge from the RO trains including new pumps, piping and instrumentation; rehabilitation of the existing RO waste sumps 1, 2, and 3 including a new coating system, pumps, instrumentation and controls; new sodium hydroxide transfer feed pump including new piping and instrumentation; and a new sodium hydroxide day tank and modifications to the existing sulfuric acid tank farm including 2 new metering pumps.
Problems/Issues: The project required over 23 system shutdowns within the plant which had to be carefully planned and coordinated with both West Basin as well as their contracted Plant operator Suez. Not completing work within predetermined shutdown durations was not an option as the District faced large financial fees from their large use customers if recycled water service is delayed any longer than the shutdown duration. AKM was instrumental in coordinating all of the necessary parties to discuss and perform field walk-th roughs of the shutdowns.

Several unforeseen conditions, like subsurface
facility conflicts were encountered onsite. As a
result, the AKM field team worked cooperatively
with the Contractor, West Basin, and the design
engineer of record to find alternate routes for the
installation of several large electrical duct banks,
as well as other underground utilities.
The final result was a properly constructed project
that was tested and is currently operating as
designed.
LONG BEACH MUNICIPAL STORMWATER TREATMENT FACILITY (LB-MUST) CITY OF LONG BEACH-411 W. OCEAN BLVD., 5TH FLOOR, LONG BEACH, CA 90805 CONTACT: MR. ALVIN PAPA, P.E., CITY ENGINEER (562) 750-6386 [email protected] CONSTRUCTION COST: $45,000,000 A/E FEE: $510,290 (TO DATE) SCHEDULE: 1/2017-12/2021 Role: Prime Construction Management/ Inspection Contractor: Phase I - All American, Phase II - SullyMiller/Keller, Phase Ill - TBD AKM STAFF: Z KAY/RAN (QA/QC); E. KAY/RAN (PM/CM); S. PATTERSON (INSPECTION) AKM is currently providing construction management, inspection, and design quality control services for the City of Long Beach Municipal Urban Stormwater Treatment (LB-MUST) Facility. The project will intercept non-stormwater runoff and a percentage of the first-flush storm flows generated within the City of Long Beach urban watersheds prior to discharging to existing storm drain outfalls flowing into the Los Angeles (LA) River and the Los Angeles River Estuary.
A majority of the City's urban drainage systems are older facilities, which were originally designed with the focus on flood protection and are not currently equipped to address urban stormwater pollution. The proposed LB-MUST facility will assist in the compliance with stormwater pollution and discharge regulations requirements and potentially provide the opportunity as a source for alternative water supply in the future. The intercepted flows from different locations within the City's urban watersheds will be collected and diverted to a centralized downstream advanced treatment facility and storage pond. The key elements of this system include:
• Multiple upper watershed diversions to intercept and collect flows located "in-line" along each of the existing storm drains tributary to the LA River and small diversion pump stations at each diversion structure; • Diverting flows from existing stormwater pump stations through their sump pumps • Hydraulic conveyance systems (pipes and/or open channel) to deliver captured runoff for downstream treatment • Advanced water treatment facility composed of multiple treatment elements and ponds / wetlands • Upper watershed BMPs / storage basin facilities; and
• Potential future benefit as an alternative water supply source.
As the project is divided into three (3) phases (clearing and grubbing/ initial site preparation (underground utilities and ground stabilization), treatment facility construction, and conveyance system construction), AKM recently completed the construction management and inspection of the clearing and grubbing/initial site preparation phase. This phase included clearing and grubbing of the proposed site, initial rough grading of the site, removal of buried railroad tracks and ties, installation of K-rail and fencing around the site, establishment of long term stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for the disturbed area and weekly BMP inspections. The work also required the City to relocate a homeless encampment within the work zone.
AKM is currently providing construction management services for Phase II of the program which includes the construction of a new low voltage electrical service, reconstruction and realignment of the roadway fronting the proposed treatment plant site, underground AKM Prop 20. 1059 7
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 58
utilities such as water, storm drain and recycled water, construction of ground improvements consisting of deep soil mixing columns, as well as the installation of 3,100 linear feet of the conveyance pressure pipe system.
AKM is also providing quality control and constructability review of the proposed treatment plant and conveyance system design and will provide construction management and inspection during construction. The treatment process is being designed with the ability to treat both brackish and non-brackish influent flows through separate treatment trains. The treatment process train consists of influent strainers, ceramic membrane ultra-filtration (UF), and an advanced oxidation process (UV/AOP). The ancillary processes include process pumping, process storage tanks, chemical feeding, and air supply. An RO system can be added to the treatment train in the future, downstream of the UV/AOP, to reduce TDS of the effluent and/or provide additional barriers for potential potable reuse. The ceramic membrane system, which consists of two (2) 1 million gallon per day (MGD) units as well as the UV/AOP are currently being pre-purchased by the City. The treatment facility will be housed within a 9,000 square foot cement masonry unit building with electrical, chemical and control rooms, and will include an HVAC system. Deep soil mixing is currently proposed below the building foundation to stabilize the subsurface soil and as a mitigation measure due to liquefaction potential. The building will also contain meeting space, a theater and elevated observation deck with views of the LA River in order to accommodate public education tours.

Work Plan
Methodolo
Our goal on any project is to see that quality facilities are constructed on time and within budget, so that such facilities will be a benefit to the community for their full useful life. In addition, AKM's Construction Management Team becomes a close partner and extension of our clients. We are sensitive to the fact that the City's internal staff has a variety of daytoday responsibilities beyond any particular construction project. That being said, we have been extremely successful handling the project management workload for our clients during construction yet still keeping assigned client staff fully abreast of project progress and status. AKM understands that no two agencies or projects are the same, all containing their own unique challenges and nuances. Our Construction Management services are specifically tailored for each client and project to properly serve their best interest and overall project success. It is critical that any project is carefully examined and that the client's goals and objectives are clearly understood by all project participants prior to beginning our services.

issues unique to the project. Not addressing the key issues promptly could potentially derail an otherwise successful project. Our approach for successfully completing the Project involves promptly addressing the key project issues.
Coordination with Multi le eroject Participants
The Project will require close and cooperative coordination with multiple outside agencies as well as the City's Engineering and Operations Staff. It is anticipated that on-going communication will be required with the following agencies throughout construction:
• Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) • The Design Engineer
• Supplier and Manufacturer's representatives for onsite services • Other City departments such as City Maintenance Services • Utility Agencies owning facilities within the project boundaries Different entities may have different project concerns and require varying levels of communication. Outside agencies will feel the most at ease and comfortable with the project when they receive clear, timely and accurate information regarding the project. It will also be paramount to understand each party's unique concerns and perspective regarding the project prior to the start of construction, to be able to best plan how to keep them informed. For WRD, who is providing funding for the project, it will be required to coordinate installations of major equipment with their representative so they may present on site. It will also be required to provide all pertinent project notices, change order requests, and Contractor Invoices to WRD.
The project site is within a residential area within very close proximity to existing residences. All projects near the public present a burden to residents. While constructing the proposed facilities including receiving delivery of materials and equipment, traffic on Cypress Street may be impacted, as well as temporary impedance of ingress and egress to properties. Although the Contractor is required to mitigate construction nuisances, it is the Construction Management Team's responsibility to enforce such mitigation measures. The potential always exists for dust and fine debris to create unfavorable conditions for the nearby public. It is understood that the facility had generated public complaints regarding the water quality being produced by the well and the project will therefore be highly visible by the public. The greater the inconvenience to the public, the more the public will become discontent with the projects. Minimizing the burden to the public during construction will be instrumental in achieving a successful project.
Constrained eroject Site and Access
The project site sits on a small footprint and is within an existing facility. While the well is not currently operating, the site access gate is used to access the existing and operable reservoir. Staging equipment and materials, parking for Contractor and Subcontractor workers, as well access for material and equipment deliveries will need to be carefully discussed and planned as on site real estate and the ability to maneuver is minimal. Constant coordination with the Contractor will need to occur to ensure that work, deliveries and staging of equipment is not interfering with each other.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4D6D-AC1E-DE979998496A Coordination of Several Trades Working Simultaneously
RFPFORCWPF
CM, CA & INSP.
The project requires work of a variety of different disciplines to not only be constructed properly, but to be coordinated with each other, many of which will not interface with one another until later in the project. For example, the concrete work must be carefully planned; however it will be critical to consider the interfacing of other work elements such as the mechanical piping, necessary embedment items, location of post-concrete placement anchors relative to reinforcement bar, as well as electrical work such as conduit penetrations.
Approaching the work with a narrow focus on only the task at hand without due consideration for other disciplines can lead to errors and deficient work, required re-work or remediation; all problems that can increase costs and impact schedule. Allowing the various disciplines to forge ahead without coordination and planning would be a recipe for problems. Also, as mentioned above, the project is on a constrained site, therefore space and site logistics must factor into coordination of the various trades.
Equipment Installation and Verification
One of the more overlooked aspects of mechanical treatment facility construction is the process of proper equipment installation, verification and testing. The proposed facility is intended to serve the City and its residents for several years to come, and in order for the facility to function for its full useful life, the equipment must be installed to function properly. To properly facilitate this multistep process, it takes an experienced team who is familiar with the equipment, installation procedures, working with manufacturer's representatives, overseeing individual equipment testing, as well as operator training. Ensuring that the equipment is not only installed pursuant to the manufacture's guidelines, but also that the manufacturer has an authorized representative visit the site to verify the installation, perform any needed calibration or tuning, and provide written certification that the equipment has been installed properly, will be a key responsibility of the Construction Manager and Inspector. It has been our experience that results of system startup and demonstration testing has a higher degree of success when the proper procedures for individual equipment testing and verification are completed. It is also important that the process is followed for warrantee work as manufacturers may deny warrantee claims if a clear verification and installation record is not provided.
In construction, time is always of the essence. Due to the potential impacts to the public and close proximity to residences, there is an even greater need for completing the work within the allotted contract duration. Additionally, the longer the project extends, the greater the burden will be to the residents, increasing complaints, and overall dissatisfaction. Projects which overrun the schedule also tend to result in a higher overall cost when finally completed and could lead to Contractor delay claims.
Potential for Utility and Other Conflicts
Anytime construction occurs within public right-of-way, or involves subsurface construction, an elevated level of risk for conflicts exists.
Utility locations shown on the Contract Drawings usually are carefully located and plotted based on the available existing records. The accuracy of the locations represented on the Contract Drawings is contingent upon the accuracy of the available utility records, and potholing conducted during design (if conducted). A potential utility conflict could result in a redesign of proposed facilities and/or relocation of interfering utilities creating schedule delays, increased costs and longer impacts to the public at large. Conflicts can also occur with nearby property owners where construction impacts to them are not realized until after construction commences. This can create public resistance to the projects and may cause delays while the impacts are mitigated.
Approach to Mitigating Ke Issues and Challenges
What are evident in the paragraphs above are the interrelationships of the key project issues. A direct effect of one of the issues results in an unintended consequence to the others. AKM will effectively, promptly, and proactively monitor and manage these issues for the entire duration of our services on the project. Our methodology for handling the above identified issues is described in the paragraphs below.
\4 Commitment to Documentation
AKM takes great pride in our project document control, believing that effectively managing project documents reduces our client's risk, can help avoid and resolve project disputes, improves project lifecycles, and promotes contractor accountability. We will keep project documentation in strict accordance with the project requirements. Such diligence is a representation to involved parties, including the project funding partner WRD, that prudent project management and administration is being implemented. Project documents will be ready for review and/or audit anytime one is mandated or requested. Our commitment to documentation will also allow the Construction Inspector to verify that all required submittals, schedule updates, and red line drawings are being submitted in a timely manner by the Contractor so that construction progresses as planned. This will also ensure that all resident concerns are thoroughly documented and followed up on so residents understand that they are important stakeholders in the construction process and that we take their concerns seriously.
AKM Prop 20. 1059 14
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 65
Capital improvement construction projects are a dynamic and ever evolving endeavor. Circumstances can change without warning and as previously mentioned, time is always of the essence. It is therefore a hallmark of AKM to be extremely responsive to the Contractor, the City, surrounding community, permitting agencies, utilities, as well as any other project stakeholders. We are committed to the project day and night; the project does not end for us at 5:00 PM. AKM will diligently and expeditiously respond to project participants, transmit necessary information, and coordinate between various project participants when necessary. Our commitment to be as responsive as possible will aid in avoiding delays, as well as maintaining good project relationships with all involved parties. This also will aid in maintaining work flow during shutdowns/tie-ins, coordination of and testing the new pipelines and equipment, as well as startup and testing of the facility. There likely will be issues that arise that cannot wait to be addressed and attended to.
Communicate Early and Often
AKM understands that it is part of a team that includes the Contractor, the City, permitting agencies, utility owners, as well as residents sharing in the common goal of project completion on time and within budget. Communications will begin from the commencement of the project, during preconstruction activities, and continue through completion. Coordination and cooperation amongst project participants is best achieved when relationships founded on open communication are established. Such communications will allow AKM to most effectively deal with problems identified with the schedule, delays, utility conflicts, addressing public concerns related to construction and working with the permitting and outside agencies previously mentioned in this section.
We will conduct a productive Preconstruction Scheduling Conference to review the CPM schedule with the Contractor and the City.
It is also proposed that AKM meet with Contractor informally prior to the preconstruction meeting so that our respective project teams can meet and begin building a working relationship. This provides an opportunity for the Contractor to share project concerns and AKM to express expectations prior to being in a room full of the design engineers, the City and outside agencies. The practice of this informal meeting has paid dividends on recent projects building trust between the construction management team and Contractor and setting a collaborative tone for the project.
· '9tl11!Y. sue f!.mj ComR tion
A lagging or drawn out project completion period can create a perception that an otherwise successful project is not successful. Project closeout within the schedule is of the utmost importance to AKM. We will diligently pursue all completion activities including collection of all final compliance paperwork from the Contractor, final payment quantities, the completion of as-built record drawings, final guarantees, warrantees, and final lien releases. Our diligence will help ensure that the project comes to an expeditious closure, that permit requirements are met and closed out within the time limits specified, that the project presents no further burden to the public and adjacent residences, and that the proposed facilities turned over to the City for beneficial use are of the highest quality, and are properly tested to function as intended by the design.
Pro·ect Mana ement & QA/QC
Our Construction Management Team will diligently manage the project budget so not to create cost overruns during the prosecution of our services. Although the Construction Manager will have ultimate responsibility for tracking, managing and reporting budget status to the City, every team member participates in project management. Our Construction Inspector is required to thoroughly review and understand the project specific scope of work prior to beginning our services and to log hours spent on the project daily. The Construction Manager reviews accrued project hours weekly. Additionally, the Construction Manager carefully analyzes project costs and staffing requirements and assigns work hours to project team members accordingly the prior week services are scheduled to be rendered. Adherence to our project budgets relative to construction percent completion based on schedule will be communicated to the City monthly, or at any other interval desired by the City. The City will be notified in writing when reaching budget milestones of 25- percent, SO-percent and 75-percent of total cost exhausted. AKM will not exceed the budget limits agreed to.
AKM's Construction Manager will review all deliverables and will screen Inspector Daily Reports on a daily basis. Our Construction Manager will also perform field visits at least twice a week to keep abreast of project issues and to ensure project goals and objectives are being carried out in the manner planned, and to AKM and the City's quality standard.
Constructabilit Reviews
Our Project Team will conduct a constructability review of the project contract documents including City's front end documents, technical specifications and contract drawings. The overall objective of the constructability review will be to minimize costly changes and delays prior to project commencement, which could significantly reduce resources used during construction to respond to RF ls, change orders and/or resolving claims. The review will also serve to improve upon the overall design package distributed to construction contractors AKM Prop 20. 1059 15
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 66
for the purpose of bidding, and to maximize project efficiencies while reducing overall costs and compressing the schedule to the greatest extent possible.
The constructability review will include a review of the plans and specifications to suggest alternatives to materials, equipment, or even designs that can save the City up-front construction costs or long-term maintenance costs. The AKM Project Team will also review the project plans and specifications to identify conflicts, risks, errors, and omissions; assess the general feasibility of the design, verify that sufficient information is provided by the plans and specifications for a Construction Contractor to provide an accurate bid for the proposed project, verify that the documents will yield pricing within budget, verify that sufficient detail is provided for a Contactor to construct the project as intended and avoid costly delays or change orders during construction; contact manufacturers and suppliers of major equipment to determine and/or confirm lead times, assess the reasonableness of the planned project duration, assess the reasonableness of the engineer's estimate, assess traffic impacts and other impacts to the surrounding community; and evaluate project site logistics and constraints. We also anticipate meetings with City's operations and maintenance staff to evaluate long term maintenance concerns with the design and evaluate alternatives geared towards eliminating potential maintenance issues. The findings and conclusions of the constructability review will be documented and presented to the City in a well-organized report.
The entire Project Team will participate and attend the meeting. The agenda will be generated by and meeting conducted by the Construction Manager.
The meeting shall be attended by representatives of the City, the Construction Management Team, the design engineer, the Contractor and their major subcontractors and suppliers, the permitting agencies, consultant and all other project stakeholders such as local authorities including police and fire departments, other affected utility/facility owner's personnel, and any other regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the project. The meeting will review the project objectives, introduce key personnel for the City, AKM, the design engineer, the Contractor and define their roles on the project, discuss the Contractor's initial CPM Construction Schedule; review labor compliance requirements, progress payment procedures, and project record keeping; establish project lines of communication, appropriate project site conduct, and other project procedures; and discuss public relation concerns and procedures.
An agenda will be prepared by AKM and distributed to the City's project staff a minimum of five (5) business days prior to the meeting.
A written record of attendance and detailed meeting minutes of items discussed shall be prepared and distributed to all attendees by AKM. Our meeting minutes will clearly and completely document all items that were discussed including all discussion points raised regarding the items, rather than providing an expanded agenda with bullet points. AKM will distribute a draft copy of the pre-construction meeting minutes to the City for their initial review and comment within two (2) business days of the meeting and prior to distributing the draft minutes to the other attendees for comment. After incorporating all comments, AKM will distribute a final copy of the preconstruction meeting minutes.
A list of Action Items will be created at this meeting and our team will follow up to ensure that the items are taken care of in a timely manner.
A separate meeting is recommended for review of the baseline schedule. The initial baseline schedule review meeting would be conducted by our Construction Manager who will take the lead on schedule reviews and schedule maintenance throughout the project.
Shop Drawings I Submittals • AKM will maintain a project submittal register to track each submittal and identify the date the submittal was received by AKM, the date it was transmitted to the City and the Design Engineer for review, the date the submittal comments are due back to the Contractor, the date the submittal was returned by the City and the Design Engineer and the noted status of the submittal (for example: no exceptions taken, revise and resubmit, make corrections noted or submit specified items). The submittal register will also track each re-submittal as noted above when re-submittal for an item is required. AKM will distribute the comments back to the Contractor as well as the final submittals. The submittal log/schedule will be updated.
Prior to construction, AKM will develop an expected submittal list to use as a tool to compare to the Contractor's initial submittal list.
The two lists will then be collaboratively merged after review and discussion with the City and the Contractor.
We anticipate our Construction Management Team to review certain submittals, (i.e. SWPPP/BMP Plan, CPM schedules, submittal schedule, the schedule of values, the project specific safety plan, Contractor's QA/QC plan, etcetera) we will review all required submittals in a thorough and expeditious manner within the required timeframes to facilitate construction progress.
AKM Prop 20. 1059 16
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 67
In the interest of making the most efficient use of the City staff and the Design Engineer's time and resources, all submittals and construction documents will be prescreened by the Construction Management Team prior to transmitting to the City and the Design Engineer so that we may verify that the information is complete, relevant and ready for their review.
During Construction, AKM's Construction Manager and/or Inspector will review all reports, certifications and testing reports, such as mil certifications for reinforcement bar, compaction testing and laboratory materials testing. All tests will be documented and logged. Test reports that are incomplete or indicate non-compliance will be sent to the Contractor for revisions. AKM will discuss the results of the test with the City and provide recommendations for action.
Task 3 - C nsultation and Meetings
Consultation and Meetings - Project Meetings will be conducted by the Construction Manager. He will also develop the agenda and seek input from the City. Our Principal-in-Charge will attend meetings as necessary and when requested by the City.
It is suggested that a brief meeting is conducted between the City and AKM prior to each progress meetings with the Contractor to ensure both parties are on the same page and deliver a consistent message.
Attendees at the progress meetings will include key representatives from the City, AKM, the design engineer, the Contractor, and any other agencies having jurisdiction over the project. The following are typical items that are addressed during meetings: Work completed during the previous 2 weeks, overall schedule review, submittal status, schedule of work for the next two weeks, future items requiring coordination, RFI status, as-built drawing maintenance, progress payments, contract change orders, site maintenance and safety, and Contractor performance relative to project schedule, cost, and frequency of non-compliance notices and/or corrective work.
AKM may schedule special meetings with the Contractor in addition to the progress meetings in order to address issues resulting in any Contractor deficiencies.
Meeting agendas will be provided in advance of the meeting. All meeting minutes will contain action items that resulted from the meeting's discussions. The action items list will be updated and discussed at each meeting to verify that issues are being resolved and do not slip through the cracks. Following the meeting, AKM will draft and distribute meeting minutes within two (2) business days.
RFl's - All requests for information or clarification of interpretations, meaning and intent of the project Contract Documents will be forwarded to the AKM Construction Management Team by the Contractor. Responses to issues pertaining solely to construction activities will generally be addressed by AKM's assigned Construction Manager or Inspector in consultation with the City.
Issues pertaining to project design, interpretation, and/or meaning and intent of the Contract Documents will be forwarded to the Design Engineer for review and response with a copy to the City. A complete log of requests for information or clarifications will be tracked in a log. Our Team will monitor response times and preemptively inform the City of contractual response durations in advance of the deadlines. We will endeavor to return RFI responses within 2 working days; however in no case shall it exceed 5 calendar days.
Task 4- Record Drawings
The Construction Inspector will meet with the Contractor's Project Manager to verify that the as-built drawings are consistent and updated. It is suggested that this review occur directly following each progress meeting. · The Construction Inspector will be responsible for keeping their own as-built drawing set and verify consistency on a regular basis with the Contractor's set. Our set will be completed as a PDF markup. ask 5 - Change Orders
The Construction Manager will be responsible for managing the change order process. The Construction Inspector will provide input necessary for resolution of change orders or claims. When time and material work is ordered, or disputed work arises, time and material or disputed work logs will be maintained by the Construction Inspector.
The entire Construction Management Team will preemptively monitor for potential conflicts that may result in a contract change order.
Daily notations of any conflicts observed or potential contract change orders will be made in the daily reports noting the time of a dispute, time of notification by the Contractor and of any action taken by the Construction Inspector. Detailed accounts of any disputes with the Contractor relating to the project scope of work will also be documented in the daily report. AKM will immediately notify the City in writing when a conflict, dispute, design problem and/or potential contract change order arises. We will also open a "Risk Item" in the project file to track the evolution of the issue.
Our approach to Change Order and Claims Management is to partner with our client and advise them on the merits of the demand, regardless of how small. This effort requires thorough analysis of each issue and goes far beyond simply processing paperwork.
Contract change order proposals and/or claims will be received by the Construction Management Team and reviewed for merit and AKM Prop 20. 1059 17

reasonableness of cost. The change order or claim will also be forwarded to the City for review and comment. If the change order or claim request is determined to be meritorious through a cooperative effort with the City, AKM will prepare a written justification for the contract change order or claim including a schedule impact analysis, cost estimate, a detailed description of the extra work or claim, background information surrounding the issue, resolution alternatives and recommendations for action. AKM will also negotiate with the Contractor in order to reach a mutually agreeable cost and terms of the change order, or resolution of a claim . AKM will not authorize work or agree to the resolution of a claim without conference with and prior written approval by the City. Final agreements for resolution of claims will be in writing between the City and the Contractor. Conformance with the executed contract change order will be verified during the prosecution of the change order work.
All time extension requests will be reviewed by the Construction Manager. He will carefully analyze the Contractor's submitted time impact analysis and then provide a recommendation for action to the City.
Task 6 - Construction Observatio
We are providing a highly qualified and experienced Construction Inspector to verify compliance of the daily construction work. Daily observation and quality assurance of the proposed work will constitute enforcing strict adherence to the City Standards and regulations; the project plans and specifications and requirements and standards of permitting agencies at all times during the Contractor's prosecution of the work. Inspection services will verify that the construction is in accordance with all Contract Documents. This will be achieved through thorough visual inspections and observations, physical testing, and documentation of all construction activities occurring on site, and material and equipment manufactured or stored off site. Prior to beginning construction, and particular work tasks, the Construction Inspector will be responsible for verifying that the Contractor has all applicable submittals and shop drawings onsite to control the work. He will continually verify that the submillals and shop drawings are adhered to during the work.
Daily reports will be prepared by the Construction Inspector for each day on the project. The daily report will contain a written summary of work completed and all construction activities occurring at the site. The summary will contain specific times and durations that work or events occurred. The daily report will also document weather conditions; drawing and specification references for work completed; traffic control measures taken by the Contractor; quantity of materials used; quantity of materials not used yet stored on site; work completed as a percentage of the appurtenant bid item, equipment on site and whether the equipment was used or idle; time that equipment was used on the project; and the names, labor classifications, and hours worked for all Contractor employees.
Detailed descriptions will be provided to document any conversations with the Contractor's Field Superintendent or other Contractor personnel, directives given to the Contractor, non-compliance notices issued, any construction issues identified by the Contractor, and any visitors to the project site and their purpose for being there.
The Construction Inspector will make notations in the daily report regarding the safety measures employed by the Contractor; any safety concerns, violations, or deficiencies noticed; and action taken by the Contractor to correct them.
The daily report will also contain notations regarding potential conflicts that may result in a request by the Contractor for a contract change order. If no issue or conflict is discovered for a particular day, the Construction Inspector will note that in the report.
Time noted and dated photographs of construction activities will be included in the daily report. The photographs will contain descriptive captions explaining the work, location of the work at the project site, and position/direction the photograph was taken from.
Sketches, drawings, or details will be prepared as necessary to explain and document daily construction activities, and will be included in the daily report. Daily reports will be completed the same day the observations are conducted to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the report.
The Construction Inspector will maintain and keep a running project punch list subdivided into the different project work areas/tasks.
He will document all unresolved items and review the list once per week with the City. Items that remain unresolved or deficient work with significant dollar values will be elevated to the Risk Item Register.
Our Construction Inspector will preside over pressure testing, chlorination and bacteriological testing, electrical testing and overall start up testing and commissioning. Strict adherence to the project specific requirements, applicable regulations as well as standards of practice will be maintained. All testing will be carefully documented, including all retests.
Start-Up and Commissioning - The startup and commissioning/testing plans will be reviewed by the Construction Manager and our Construction Inspector. During field testing of each individual item of equipment and system demonstration, the Construction Inspector will carefully observe and document the results. The Construction Manager will also be responsible for coordinating with the necessary City and Design Engineering personnel for the testing and startup activities.
AKM Prop 20. 1059 18
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 69
The Construction Management Team will coordinate with the necessary parties for startup and final testing of the completed improvements. All equipment will be required to be individually tested and verified prior to scheduling the systems operational testing, or startup testing. This will entail verifying that manufacturer's representatives have verified proper installation of their equipment and/or instrumentation and the Contractor has executed and submitted the Manufacturer's Certificates of Functionality Compliance.
Additionally, testing and start up will include hydrostatic testing of piping; testing of all protective coatings; electrical testing including insulation resistance, resistance to ground testing, and circuit breaker testing; instrumentation and verifying that the proper signals are being read by the PLCs and central control; and coordination of integration with the existing SCADA system. The automation planned will require thorough checking of all the instrument and control loops and the PLC control strategy must be verified, line by line. iTask 7 • chedules
General • The baseline CPM schedule will be the barometer from which Contractor's performance will be evaluated. During the preconstruction phase of the project, the Contractor will be required to submit a baseline CPM schedule which will be refined following a scheduling meeting conducted between the AKM Construction Management Team, the City and the Contractor. During this period AKM will review the schedule for the overall feasibility and duration of specific activities as well as evaluate interrelated activity constraints and analyze all logic relationships (i.e. predecessor and successor activities).
During construction , the Construction Inspector will track manpower daily as well as log total working days charged to the CPM schedule activity codes. Doing so keeps a running score of the Contractor's adherence to the schedule in relation to time, manpower and cost.
The daily activity codes charged to the project each day will be recorded in the Construction Inspector's daily report. Such daily tracking will allow AKM to preemptively identify potential delays or project problems. When critical activities approach their completion dates, or when non-critical activities begin to use up the allotted float, AKM will immediately bring such issues to the attention of both the City and the Contractor.
The Construction Manager will be responsible for reviewing and commenting on the monthly schedule updates as well as the weekly look-ahead schedules. He will also review time impact analysis (TIA) when submitted.
We will require the weekly look-ahead schedule to be submitted in advance of the weekly progress meeting in order to discuss the schedule as well as communicate to the Contractor any concerns or comments.
All materials testing will be scheduled by the Construction Inspector with our proposed sub-consultant Ninyo and Moore Geotechnical.
The Construction Inspector will be responsible for presiding over the testing and inspections and ensuring that reports produced by Ninyo and Moore are thorough and complete.
It is anticipated that materials testing services will be required for soil compaction testing; concrete placements, compressive strength testing for concrete, asphalt concrete paving compaction testing; sampling and laboratory testing for fill materials, asphalt concrete paving materials, and aggregate base; as well as reinforcing steel. Laboratory tests for fill materials will include gradation, resistivity, chloride concentration, and sand equivalence.
A detailed list of each test, separated by category, will be logged by AKM. We will also track expended costs of the testing services; the cost of failing tests, and indicate materials testing costs to date.
The AKM Construction Management Team will review the Contractor's submitted schedule of values at the beginning of the project and prior to mobilization. We will verify that a sufficient breakdown of the bid items is provided in order to allow for equitable reimbursements through monthly progress payments. We will also verify that the breakdown is logical and accurate to avoid front or end loading of particular items. A properly executed schedule of values aids in avoiding disputes when reviewing progress payment quantities with the Contractor.
During the progress of work AKM will track and measure actual quantities of work daily including materials and equipment used and incorporated, as well as labor. At the conclusion of each month, the Construction Inspector will compare the data tabulated throughout the month to the project schedule of values to determine the approximate cost of the work completed. The approximate costs will serve as a basis for determining the appropriate monthly progress pay quantities. Once the Construction Inspector and the Contractor agree on the quantities and all required paperwork requisite to payment release such as the CPM schedule update and narrative, certified payroll reports, preliminary lien releases from subcontractors and suppliers, and as-built drawing updates are received; AKM will transmit the costs per bid item to the City recommending monthly payment quantities. Requests for quantities exceeding that which have actually been completed will not be accepted.

irask 10- Coordination of Testin an Commissioning, __ _ Prior to beginning startup testing, AKM will conduct an inspection to verify that all required work has been completed; that equipment and instruments have been calibrated and pre-tested by the Contractor; and that the City, AKM and the design engineer provide a favorable review of the Contractor's Startup Testing Plan before conducting final startup testing. It is recommended that the Contractor is required to submit his Startup and Testing Plan no later than 90 days prior to testing. AKM will ensure that the plan is submitted in accordance with this important requirement to provide all parties ample opportunity to review, discuss and comment on the plan .
Our Construction Manager will coordinate the training programs and curriculum submittals with the City. He will develop and keep a master schedule of all training programs and curriculum as well as anticipated training dates which will be coordinated with the City and their operations staff.

During the course of the Project, AKM will keep a running list of issues and corrections requiring resolution. The list will include a description of the issue, date the issue was first observed, and date the issue was resolved. The goal of the list will be to create a realtime punch list to resolve issues prior the end of the project minimizing the size of final punch lists. Once the AKM Construction Management Team determines the Project has reached substantial completion, the City will be notified and a final inspection/walk through will be recommended to ascertain any unfinished work or corrections to be made. It is anticipated that the final inspection/walk through will include the City staff the Design Engineer and AKM. Based on the findings and results of the final inspection/walk through, AKM will develop a final punch list of work to be completed and/or corrected. The final punch list will include all necessary outstanding paperwork such as final operations and maintenance manuals, required guarantees, certifications, affidavits, warrantees, lien releases, as-built drawings, permit close-out verification and other documents required by the project's Contract Documents. Once all items have been completed to the satisfaction of the City and the Design Engineer, AKM will recommend final acceptance.
During project closeout activities AKM will obtain from the Contractor any and all required guarantees, certifications, affidavits, operation and maintenance manuals, warrantees, and other documents required by the project's Contract Documents including the operation and maintenance manuals in PDF and AutoCad formats. AKM will then review the documents to verify that all documents are complete and accurate. Should incomplete or inaccurate documents be discovered, AKM will notify the Contractor for revision. Operation and Maintenance manuals will also be distributed to the City for their review and comment. Once determined to be complete, AKM will transmit all of the documentation described above to the City.
Prior to the end of construction, our Construction Inspector will develop a list of all required spare parts, separated by discipline and will include model number and manufacturer. The list will be used as a checklist to verify receipt and transfer of all require spare parts.
Once the Contractor has successfully completed startup and commissioning, any required operational period, and operator training, AKM will issue a notice of substantial completion to the Contractor. The letter will indicate the date of the required 11 month warrantee inspection.
Following completion of a project, the final as-built drawings will be reviewed and when determined to be complete, will be transmitted to the City for review and/or approval. AKM will provide final as-built drawings both in hard copy and PDF format to the Design Engineer for production of mylars and final electronic documents within 1-week of their receipt from the Contractor. The approval of final as-built drawings will be requisite to the release of final payment.
A recommendation for final acceptance will occur once all required documents and spare parts have been verified to be submitted and approved, and following completion of the punch list as described above. AKM will first make a recommendation to the City for notice of completion and once concurrence is received, we will prepare and distribute the notice.
A complete electronic copy of all project documents and correspondence will be made and organized. The file will be transmitted to the City at the conclusion of the project.
Our Construction Inspector will review and reconcile the final bid items with the Contractor, resolve pending issues and recommend processing of final payment once all conditions have been fulfilled.
Our Construction Manager will produce the draft and final project report which will include a comparative analysis of the project completion time versus the Contractor's original baseline completion schedule; startup and testing reports; list and analysis of all contract change orders, their dollar amounts, total contract change order dollar amounts and final contract amount; the as-built construction schedule; a list of all warrantees with the start date and expiration date of each warrantee and hardcopies of the warrantee if applicable; a list of all spare parts required and furnished under the contract; an analysis of problems that occurred on the project and recommendations for remedial and proactive steps to take on subsequent projects in order to avoid similar problems. A draft report will be submitted to the City for review and comment. After incorporating all comments, we will transmit the final copy of the report.

The project is currently expected to conclude towards the end of May 2023. While AKM’s proposal was based on the original contract completion date and duration, which was May 12, 2022, we have been able to extend our budget through the judicious handling of resources. However; it is anticipated that our budget will soon expire.
Based on the work remaining to be completed, AKM is estimating that we will require an additional $38,600 for carrying out our services through the conclusion of the project. The following table presents a breakdown of our expected additional services.
Task Hours Totals
Additional Field Inspection ($150/hour) 200 $30,000.00 Additional Construction Management ($150/hour)
Progress Meetings and RFI/Issue Coordination 32 $4,800.00 Additional Project Management ($190/hour) 20 $3,800.00 Total Cost $38,600.00
Additional Funds Requested: $38,600.00

REVIEWED BY: Carla Dillon, P.E., Public Works Director
PREPARED BY: Ryan Damon, Associate Engineer
MEETING DATE: April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: Accept Work and File Notice of Completion for the Street Reconstruction Project Zones C & F
RECOMMENDATION
Accept the work performed by Sequel Contractors, Inc. for the construction of Street Reconstruction Project Zones C & F; authorize the Public Works Director to sign the Notice of Completion (NOC) and release the 5% retention payment in the amount of $104,910.14. to Sequel Contractors, Inc. 35 calendar days after recordation of the NOC by the County Recorder’s Office contingent upon no claims being filed on the project; and authorize the City Clerk to file the NOC with the County Recorder’s Office.
BACKGROUND
In early 2016, the City Council authorized a multi-year slurry seal program in which the City was subdivided into seven Zones (A, B, C, D, E, F & G). Slurry Seal in Zones B, D, & E was completed in Fall 2016 and was followed by Zone A, which was completed in Summer 2018. To more effectively address the necessary maintenance and repair strategies that were identified in the 2018 Pavement Management Program (PMP), a Street Improvement Program was introduced. The first Street Improvement Program Project in Zones C, F, and G included type II slurry seal and cape seal on streets identified in the 2018 PMP. That project completed construction in January 2021.
On November 2, 2020, Civil Works Engineers (assigned to David Evans and Associates, Inc. in 2022) began the design of the Street Reconstruction Project Zone C & F. This was the second project of the Street Improvement Program that aimed to address more Item No. 7f

In June 2022, Stephen Doreck Equipment Rentals, Inc. was separately contracted to make repairs to a damaged water main and service leak that fell within project limits. The cost of the repairs totaled $34,795.51 and Stephen Doreck was authorized to be paid with the funds for this project.
The construction of the project was completed in December 2022, however following a final inspection from LAE & Associates, there were still punch list items that needed to be completed. One item that required multiple efforts of coordination due to weather delays was the thermoplastic restriping of the crosswalk at Eshelman Ave and Lomita Park Pl (see images below).
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 80
4 Before After
Sequel Contractors was able to complete the punch list items in February 2023 and following a subsequent inspection from LAE & Associates, the work was found to be in conformance with the contract documents. The final step for construction completion is to file the NOC and release the retention to the contractor. There is a one-year warranty period in accordance with the project specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total project available budget was $3,192,672. The approved and actual contract amounts are summarized below:

Total $3,158,790.98 $2,576,098.42
The total construction contract cost with the final payment of retention will be $2,098,052.64, which is $492,382.16 below the approved construction contract cost. The total project cost includes all costs related to this project such as costs of design, engineering assistance during construction, testing services, construction, the emergency water main repair, and miscellaneous items such as the installation of the signs. The total project costs were $2,576,098.42, which is $616,573.58 below the available budget.
These funds will be available for future projects.

PREPARED BY: Carla Dillon, P.E., Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: Agreement with Calgon Carbon Corporation for the Cypress Water Production Facility
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute an agreement with Calgon Carbon Corporation for granular activated carbon, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for an amount up to $520,000.
BACKGROUND
The City’s project to upgrade the Cypress Water Production Facility (CWPF) is nearing completion. The City had long been planning for the addition of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) to improve the aesthetic qualities of Lomita’s water and began the design process in late 2017. The GAC will not only remove constituents that affect aesthetic qualities such as taste and odor, but also removes benzene and is considered the best available technology. Following the detection of benzene, the design of the GAC system required the addition of two more GAC vessels to ensure complete removal of benzene.
The CWPF Upgrade Project will install GAC at start-up, and it is anticipated that removal and replacement of the GAC will be needed approximately six months after operations commence. Actual replacement time will depend on many factors so it may be needed earlier or later. As part of the permitting process, the Division of Drinking Water (DDW) has been requested that a contract be in place at start-up.
The CWPF project upgrade has installed four vessels that contain 20,000 lbs. of GAC per vessel. Since the vessels are operated with two in series, DDW will require the two vessels in series to be replace at the same time resulting in 40,000 lbs. being removed and replaced. Although the supplier offers a lower cost option of taking the material to their facility for reactivation, the City will not be permitted for this option by DDW. In the Item No. 7g
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 84
2 future, the City may request a permit modification to allow this, which will require testing to ensure that the City’s regenerated material is as effective as virgin material.
In order to apply for a permit from DDW, it was necessary for the City to commit to a specific brand and product. The selected product was Calgon Virgin Filtrasorb 400 for its effectiveness with benzene. Since Calgon Carbon Corporation is the only supplier of this product, they are the sole supplier and multiple bids could not be obtained.
FISCAL IMPACT
The initial contract will allow for approximately four change-outs of 40,000 lbs. of GAC and will be paid from account 510-630-5443. The unit price will be adjusted going forward based upon the following indices:
1) U.S. Department of Labor Producer Price Index (PPI) for All Other Basic Organic Chemicals Manufacturing: Miscellaneous end-use chemicals and chemical products, - 40% weight;
2) U.S. Department of Labor CPI for Urban Wage Earners for the U.S. City Average - 40% weight;
3) Transportation: U.S. Department of Labor PPI by Commodity for Transportation Services: Truck Transportation of Freight - 20% weight
No expenses are anticipated in FY22-23, and a budget adjustment may be requested in the future if funds in the account are insufficient.
OPTIONS
1. Approve staff’s recommendation.
2. Provide alternative direction.

FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Juan Ibarra, Administrative Analyst
MEETING DATE: April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: Consideration of Settlement Agreements with Defendants Teva, Allergan, Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS Who Have Entered into the 2022 National Opioid Settlement Agreements
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
Opt into settlement agreements with three pharmacy chains — CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart and direct the City Manager to execute any documents necessary to implement the action and, when possible, allocate the City’s designated share of settlement funds to the County of Los Angeles; and opt into settlement agreements with two opioid manufacturers—Allergan and Teva, and direct the City Manager to execute any documents necessary to implement the action and, when possible, allocate the City’s designated share of settlement funds to the County of Los Angeles.
BACKGROUND
Litigation brought by states and cities across the United States has resulted in additional settlement agreements with three pharmacy chains (CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart) and two opioid manufacturers (Allergan and Teva). Collectively, these settlement agreements are referred to as the 2022 National Settlement Agreements.
A. 2021 National Settlement Agreements
Previously, the City entered into settlement agreements with the three largest pharmaceutical distributors of opioid painkillers, Amerisource Bergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson (the “Distributors”), and the opioid painkiller manufacturer, Janssen (owned by Johnson & Johnson) (“Janssen”). These previously approved settlement agreements are referred to as the 2021 National Settlement Agreements.
Item No. 7h
CITY OF LOMITA
City Council Report
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 88
2 B. 2022 National Settlement Agreements and Allocation of Funds The proposed 2022 National Settlement Agreements are separate and distinct settlement agreements with different parties resulting from the same litigation. In late 2022, agreements were announced with the three pharmacy chains and two additional manufacturers. In January 2023, each of those pharmacy chains and manufacturers confirmed that a sufficient number of states had agreed to the settlements to move forward. As with the 2021 National Settlements, states and local governments that want to participate in the 2022 National Settlements now will have the opportunity to “opt in.” The greater the level of subdivision participation, the more funds will ultimately be paid out for abatement. Assuming maximum participation, the 2022 National Settlements require:
• Teva to pay up to $3.34 billion over 13 years and to provide either $1.2 billion of its generic version of the drug Narcan over 10 years or $240 million of cash in lieu of product, as each state may elect;
• Allergan to pay up to $2.02 billion over 7 years;
• CVS to pay up to $4.90 billion over 10 years;
• Walgreens to pay up to $5.52 billion over 15 years; and • Walmart to pay up to $2.74 billion in 2023, and all payments to be made within 6 years.
C. Use of Funds
Similar to the 2021 National Settlement Agreements, for these 2022 National Settlement Agreements at least 85% to 95.5% of abatement funds shall be used to fund opioidremediation efforts, with at least 70% of abatement funds required to be used in connection with future opioid-remediation efforts. The 2022 National Settlements effectively define “opioid-remediation” as including care, treatment, and other programs and expenditures (including reimbursement for past such programs or expenditures, except where the agreement restricts the use of funds solely to future opioidremediation) designed to (1) address the misuse and abuse of opioid products, (2) treat or mitigate opioid use or related disorders, or (3) mitigate other alleged effects of, including on those injured as a result of, the opioid epidemic. The 2022 National Settlements include broad and non-exhaustive lists of qualifying opioid-remediation expenditures.
D. Participation in Settlements
Under the Teva, Allergan, Walgreens, and CVS Settlements, there is no set threshold of subdivision-level participation required for those settlements to become effective. As to the Teva and Allergan Settlements, once the deadline for subdivisions to participate has passed, these settling Defendants will determine whether there has been sufficient subdivision-level participation for these settlements to become effective. The Walgreens and CVS Settlements operate similarly to the Teva and Allergan Settlements, except that under those settlements, the settling states (Walgreens) or the “Enforcement April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 89
3 Committee” representing the settling states (CVS) will first have the opportunity to determine whether there has been sufficient subdivision participation to proceed with these settlements. If so, then Walgreens and CVS are to determine whether they agree that sufficient subdivisions have participated in the settlements. The decisions of Teva, Allergan, CVS, and Walgreens as to whether there has been adequate subdivision-level participation is in their sole discretion and must be made in good faith.
The Walmart Settlement is different in that the level of subdivision participation required for the settlement to become effective is based on objective criteria: (1) more than 85% of the aggregate population of all litigating subdivisions located in settling states, as well as states that have separately settled with Walmart, must agree to participate or otherwise have their claims fully released, and (2) more than 85% of the aggregate population of all non-litigating threshold subdivisions (defined to include subdivisions with populations greater than 30,000 or those with populations between 10,000 and 30,000 that have brought opioids-related claims against McKesson, Cardinal Health, Amerisource Bergen, or J& J must agree to participate or otherwise have their claims fully released. The calculation of the aggregate populations of litigating subdivisions and non-litigating threshold subdivisions is on an aggregated basis and not a state-by-state basis. If these thresholds are met, then the Walmart Settlement will become effective.
E. Management of Funds
Like the 2021 National Settlement Agreements, each County and City that receives payment of funds from the settlements will have to annually track and report its use of the funds. Due to the uncertainty of the number of jurisdictions opting in, it is hard to predict what amount of funds will be allocated to the City; however, it is likely that the amount will be less than the 2021 National Settlement Agreements which equaled to $61,601.08 -- $63,528.66.
F. Opting In
The City must opt into the settlements by April 18, 2023, which requires the City to release its claims against the parties in the 2022 National Settlement Agreements.
County of Los Angeles Opioid Abuse Prevention and Treatment Programs LA County Department of Public Health (DPH) has developed a broad, multifaceted, and coordinated opioid prevention strategy in LA County to reduce the toll of the opioid crisis on LA County residents and maximize health and well-being. Goals are to prevent opioid use, reduce deaths from overdoses, and provide easy access to treatment programs. These programs include Public Messaging Campaigns, Funding Community Coalitions, Optimizing Utilization of CURES (California’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, Establishing Family Resource Centers, Implementation of Expanded Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Benefits, Expanding Access to Naloxone (use in case of an overdose related to opioids), and various other programs and benefits.
April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 90
4 Conclusion:
Unless the City intends to pursue its own litigation against the parties in the 2022 National Settlement Agreements, it is recommended that the City opt into the settlement. While the exact amount the City will be allocated is unclear because it will be determined based on participation rate, it is estimated that this amount will be less than the relatively small amount the City received pursuant to the 2021 National Settlement Agreements. Because of this and the restrictions on what the funds can be used for and the onerous reporting requirements, it is also recommended that, when possible, the City allocate these funds to the County of Los Angeles. The County of Los Angeles will utilize the funds to continue its opioid-remediation efforts and programs.
OPTIONS
1. Opt into the settlement agreements.
2. Do not approve.
3. Provide staff alternative direction.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Lomita city, CA
Reference Number: CL-383161
TO LOCAL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS:
THIS PACKAGE CONTAINS DOCUMENTATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEW NATIONAL OPIOID SETTLEMENTS. YOU MUST TAKE ACTION IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE.
Deadline: April 18, 2023
Five new proposed national opioid settlements (“New National Opioid Settlements”) have been reached with Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart (“Settling Defendants”). This Participation Package is a follow-up communication to the Notice of National Opioid Settlements recently received electronically by your subdivision or special district (“subdivision”).
You are receiving this Participation Package because California is participating in the following settlements:
Teva
Allergan
CVS
Walgreens
Walmart
This electronic envelope includes eleven attachments:
Participation Forms for Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, including a release of any claims.
California State-Subdivision Agreements for Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart.
Side-letter agreement between California and CVS.
The Participation Form and California Intrastate Allocation Agreement for each settlement must be executed, without alteration, and submitted on or before April 18, 2023, in order for your subdivision to be considered for initial participation calculations and payment eligibility.
The side-letter agreement between California and CVS modifies the CVS National Settlement’s incentive structure for subdivision participation as it applies to California.
Based upon subdivision participation forms received on or before April 18th, the subdivision participation rate will be used to determine whether participation for each deal is sufficient for the settlement to move forward and whether a state earns DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 Exhibit A

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.
You are encouraged to discuss the terms and benefits of the New National Opioid Settlements with your city attorney/county counsel, outside counsel representing your city/county on opioid matters, the Attorney General’s Office, and other contacts within your state. Many states are implementing and allocating funds for these new settlements the same as they did for the prior opioid settlements with McKesson, Cardinal, Amerisource, and J&J/Janssen, but states may choose to treat these settlements differently.
Information and documents regarding the New National Opioid Settlements and how they are being implemented in your state and how funds will be allocated within your state allocation can be found on the national settlement website at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/ and the California Attorney General’s website at https://oag.ca.gov/opioids. These websites will be supplemented as additional documents are created. Please also refer to the Side-Letter Agreement with CVS, which modifies the CVS National Opioid Settlement.
How to return signed forms:
There are three methods for returning the executed Participation Forms and California-State Subdivision Agreements (“Subdivision Agreements”) to the Implementation Administrator:
(1) Electronic Signature via DocuSign: Executing the Participation Forms and the Subdivision Agreements electronically through DocuSign will return the signed forms to the Implementation Administrator and associate your forms with your subdivision’s records. Electronic signature is the most efficient method for returning Participation Forms and Subdivision Agreements, allowing for more timely participation and the potential to meet higher settlement payment thresholds, and is therefore strongly encouraged. (2) Manual Signature returned via DocuSign: DocuSign allows forms to be downloaded, signed manually, then uploaded to DocuSign and returned automatically to the Implementation Administrator. Please be sure to complete all fields and note that execution and return of both the Subdivision Agreement and the Participation Form are required for participation in the corresponding settlement. As with electronic signature, returning manually signed Participation Forms and Subdivision Agreements via DocuSign will associate your signed forms with your subdivision’s records.

Settlement Funds – Allergan Settlement
1. Introduction
Pursuant to the Allergan Settlement Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2022, and any revision thereto (the “Allergan Settlement Agreement”), including Section VIII and Exhibit O, the State of California proposes this agreement (the “CA Allergan Allocation Agreement”) to govern the allocation, distribution, and use of Settlement Fund payments made to California pursuant to Sections VI, VII, and VIII of the Allergan Settlement Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not apply to payments made pursuant to Sections XII or XIII of the Allergan Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to Exhibit O, Paragraph 4, of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, acceptance of this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement is a requirement to be an Initial Participating Subdivision.1 Further, pursuant to Sections X.B and X.C of the Teva Settlement Agreement and Sections IX.B and IX.C of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, eligible Subdivisions must participate in both the Teva Settlement Agreement and Allergan Settlement Agreement, or neither.2
2. Definitions
a) CA Participating Subdivision means a Participating Subdivision that is also (a) a Plaintiff Subdivision and/or (b) a Subdivision with a population equal to or greater than 10,000. For the avoidance of doubt, eligible CA Participating Subdivisions are those California subdivisions listed in Exhibit C (excluding Litigating Special Districts) and/or Exhibit I to the Allergan Settlement Agreement. b) Teva Settlement Agreement means the Teva Settlement Agreement dated November 22, 2022, and any revision thereto.

3. General Terms
This agreement is subject to the requirements of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, as well as applicable law, and the Allergan Settlement Agreement governs over any inconsistent provision of this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement. Terms used in this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement have the same meaning as in the Allergan Settlement Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
Pursuant to Section VIII(E)(1) of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, (a) all Settlement Fund payments will be used for Opioid Remediation, except as allowed by Section VIII(C) of the Allergan Settlement Agreement; and (b) at least seventy percent (70%) of Settlement Fund payment amounts will be used solely for future Opioid Remediation.
4. State Allocation
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 99
3 The Settlement Fund payments to California,3 pursuant to the Allergan Settlement Agreement, shall be allocated as follows: 15% to the State Fund; 70% to the Abatement Accounts Fund; and 15% to the Subdivision Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, all funds allocated to California from the Settlement Fund shall be combined pursuant to this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement, and 15% of that total shall be allocated to the State of California (the “State of California Allocation”), 70% to the California Abatement Accounts Fund (“CA Abatement Accounts Fund”), and 15% to the California Subdivision Fund (“CA Subdivision Fund”).
A. State of California Allocation
Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the State and used by the State for future Opioid Remediation.
B. CA Abatement Accounts Fund
i. Allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) Seventy percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. The funds in the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be allocated based on the allocation model developed in connection with the proposed negotiating class in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804), as adjusted to reflect only those cities and counties that are eligible, based on population or litigation status, to become a CA Participating Subdivision. The percentage from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund allocated to each CA Participating Subdivision is set forth in Appendix 1 in the column entitled abatement percentage (the “Local Allocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, CA Litigating Special Districts and California towns, cities, and counties with a population less than 10,000 are not eligible to receive an allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds.
b) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a county, or a city and county, will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision, and will receive payments as provided in the Allergan Settlement Agreement. c) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a city will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision. The Local Allocation share for a city that is a CA Participating Subdivision will be paid to the county in which the city is located, rather than to the city, so long as: (a) the county is a CA Participating Subdivision, and (b) the city has not advised the Settlement Fund Administrator that it requests direct payment at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. A Local Allocation share allocated to a city but paid to a county is not required to be spent exclusively for abatement activities in that city, but will become part of the county’s share of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds, which will be used in accordance with Section 4.B.ii (Use of
3 For purposes of clarity, use of the term “California” refers to the geographic territory of California and the state and its local governments therein. The term “State” or “State of California” refers to the State of California as a governmental unit.

4 CA Abatement Accounts Funds) and reported on in accordance with Section 4.B.iii (CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight).
d) A city within a county that is a CA Participating Subdivision may opt in or out of direct payment at any time, and it may also elect direct payment of only a portion of its share, with the remainder going to the county, by providing notice to the Settlement Fund Administrator at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. For purposes of this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement, the Cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Jose and Eureka will be deemed to have elected direct payment if they become Participating Subdivisions.
e) The State will receive the Local Allocation share of any payment to the Settlement Fund that is attributable to a county or city that is eligible to become a CA Participating Subdivision, but that has not, as of the date of that payment to the Settlement Fund, become a Participating Subdivision.
f) Funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision, and not expended or encumbered within five years of receipt and in accordance with the Allergan Settlement Agreement and this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement shall be transferred to the State; provided however, that CA Participating Subdivisions have seven years to expend or encumber CA Abatement Accounts Funds designated to support capital outlay projects before they must be transferred to the State. This provision shall not apply to the Cost Reimbursement Funds, which shall be controlled by Appendix 2.
ii. Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) The CA Abatement Accounts Funds will be used for future Opioid Remediation in one or more of the areas described in the List of Opioid Remediation Uses, which is Exhibit E to the Allergan Settlement Agreement.
b) In addition to this requirement, no less than 50% of the funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision from the Abatement Accounts Fund in each calendar year will be used for one or more of the following High Impact Abatement Activities:
(1) the provision of matching funds or operating costs for substance use disorder facilities within the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program; (2) creating new or expanded Substance Use Disorder (“SUD”) treatment infrastructure; (3) addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by SUD;
(4) diversion of people with SUD from the justice system into treatment, including by providing training and resources to first and early responders (sworn and non-sworn) and implementing best practices for outreach, diversion and deflection, employability, restorative justice, and harm reduction; and/or

5 c) The California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) may add to this list (but not delete from it) by designating additional High Impact Abatement Activities. DHCS will make reasonable efforts to consult with stakeholders, including the CA Participating Subdivisions, before adding additional High Impact Abatement Activities to this list. d) For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the requirements of the Allergan Settlement Agreement and applicable law, CA Participating Subdivisions may form agreements or ventures, or otherwise work in collaboration with, federal, state, local, tribal or private sector entities in pursuing Opioid Remediation activities funded from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. Further, provided that all CA Abatement Accounts Funds are used for Opioid Remediation consistent with the Allergan Settlement Agreement and this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement, a county and any cities or towns within the county may agree to reallocate their respective shares of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds among themselves, provided that any direct distribution may only be to a CA Participating Subdivision and any CA Participating Subdivision must agree to their share being reallocated.
iii. CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight
a) Pursuant to Section 5 below, CA Participating Subdivisions receiving settlement funds must prepare and file reports annually regarding the use of those funds. DHCS may regularly review the reports prepared by CA Participating Subdivisions about the use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds for compliance with the Allergan Settlement Agreement and this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement.
b) If DHCS determines that a CA Participating Subdivision’s use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds is inconsistent with the Allergan Settlement Agreement or this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement, whether through review of reports or information from any other sources, DHCS shall send a request to meet and confer with the CA Participating Subdivision. The parties shall meet and confer in an effort to resolve the concern.
c) If the parties are unable to reach a resolution, DHCS may conduct an audit of the Subdivision’s use of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds within one year of the request to meet and confer, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to extend the meet and confer time frame.
d) If the concern still cannot be resolved, the State may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to resolve the concern or otherwise DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 102
6 enforce the requirements of the Allergan Settlement Agreement or this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement. However, in no case shall any audit be conducted, or motion be brought, as to a specific expenditure of funds, more than five years after the date on which the expenditure of the funds was reported to DHCS, in accordance with this agreement.
e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not limit the statutory or constitutional authority of any state or local agency or official to conduct audits, investigations, or other oversight activities, or to pursue administrative, civil, or criminal enforcement actions.
C. CA Subdivision Fund
i. Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Subdivision Fund. All funds in the CA Subdivision Fund will be allocated among the Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions. The funds will be used, subject to any limits imposed by the Allergan Settlement Agreement and this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement, to fund future Opioid Remediation and reimburse past opioid-related expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation, and to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Special Master as set forth in Appendix 2.
The CA Subdivision Funds will be allocated as follows:
a) First, funds in the CA Subdivision Fund shall be used to pay the Special Master’s reasonable fees and expenses in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document;
b) Second, funds will be allocated to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions that have been awarded Costs, as defined by and in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document. c) Funds remaining in the CA Subdivision Fund, which shall consist of no less than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year pursuant to Appendix 2, Section 2.c.v, will be distributed to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions, in relative proportion to the Local Allocation. These funds shall be used to fund future opioid-related projects and to reimburse past opioid-related expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation against any Opioid Defendant.
D. Provision for State Back-Stop Agreement
On August 6, 2021, Judge Dan Polster of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, issued an order (ECF Docket Number 3814) (“MDL Fees Order”) in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804) “cap[ping] all applicable contingent fee agreements at 15%.” Private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions should seek its DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 103
7 contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds under the Teva Settlement Agreement and Allergan Settlement Agreement, and, if applicable, the CVS Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and Walmart Settlement Agreement.
A Plaintiff Subdivision may separately agree to use its share of the CA Subdivision Fund to pay for fees or costs incurred by its contingency-fee counsel (“State Back-Stop Agreement”), pursuant to Exhibit R, section I(X), of the Allergan Settlement Agreement and the MDL Fees Order, so long as such contingency fees do not exceed a total contingency fee of 15% of the total gross recovery of the Plaintiff Subdivision pursuant to the Allergan Settlement, inclusive of contingency fees from the national Attorney Fee Fund and this State Back-Stop Agreement.
Before seeking fees or litigation costs and expenses from a State Back-Stop Agreement, private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions must first seek contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds created under the Allergan Settlement Agreement. Further, private counsel may only seek reimbursement for litigation fees and costs that have not previously been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
To effectuate a State Back-Stop Agreement pursuant to this section, an agreement in the form of Appendix 3 may be entered into by a Plaintiff Subdivision, private counsel, and the California Office of the Attorney General. The California Office of the Attorney General shall, upon the request of a Plaintiff Subdivision, execute any agreement executed by a Plaintiff Subdivision and its private counsel if it is in the form of Appendix 3. The California Office of the Attorney General will also consider requests from Plaintiff Subdivisions to execute and enter into agreements presented in other forms.
For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not require a Plaintiff Subdivision to request or enter into a State Back-Stop Agreement, and no State Back-Stop Agreement shall impose any duty or obligation on the State of California or any of its agencies or officers, including without limitation the Attorney General.
5. State and Subdivision Reporting
a) DHCS will prepare an annual written report regarding the State’s use of funds from the settlement until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will be made publicly available on the DHCS web site.
b) Each CA Participating Subdivision that receives payments of funds from the settlement will prepare written reports at least annually regarding the use of those funds, until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will also include a certification that all funds that the CA Participating Subdivision has received through the settlement have been used in compliance with the Allergan Settlement Agreement and this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement. The report will be in a form reasonably determined by DHCS. Prior to specifying the form of the report DHCS will confer with representatives of the Plaintiff Subdivisions.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 104
8 c) The State and all CA Participating Subdivisions receiving CA Abatement Accounts Funds will track all deposits and expenditures. Each such subdivision is responsible solely for the CA Abatement Accounts Funds it receives. A county is not responsible for oversight, reporting, or monitoring of CA Abatement Accounts Funds received by a city within that county that receives direct payment. Unless otherwise exempt, Subdivisions’ expenditures and uses of CA Abatement Accounts Funds and other Settlement Funds will be subject to the normal budgetary and expenditure process of the Subdivision. d) Each Plaintiff Subdivision receiving CA Subdivision Funds will track all deposits and expenditures, as required by the Allergan Settlement Agreement and this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement. Among other things, Plaintiff Subdivisions using monies from the CA Subdivision Fund for purposes that do not qualify as Opioid Remediation must identify and include in their annual report, the amount and how such funds were used, including if used to pay attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, or litigation costs. Pursuant to Section VIII(C) of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, such information must also be reported to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Allergan. e) In each year in which DHCS prepares an annual report DHCS will also host a meeting to discuss the annual report and the Opioid Remediation activities being carried out by the State and Participating Subdivisions.
6. Miscellaneous
a) The State or any CA Participating Subdivision may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to enforce the requirements of this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement. Before filing such a motion or action the State will meet and confer with any CA Participating Subdivision that is the subject of the anticipated motion or action, and vice versa.
b) Except as provided in the Allergan Settlement Agreement, this CA Allergan Allocation Agreement is not enforceable by any party other than the State and the CA Participating Subdivisions. It does not confer any rights or remedies upon, and shall not be enforceable by, any third party.
c) Except as provided in the CA Allergan Allocation Agreement, if any provision of this agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement, or the application of such provision to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each other provision of this agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. d) Except as provided in the Allergan Settlement Agreement, this agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of California.

b) First Claims Date means October 1, 2023 or when all applications for reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, Section XI and Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, or Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, have been finally determined under the provisions of those agreements, whichever comes first. c) Special Master means a retired judicial officer or former public lawyer, not presently employed or retained by a Plaintiff Subdivision, who will aggregate, review, and determine the reasonable Costs to be awarded to each Plaintiff Subdivision that submits a claim for reimbursement of Costs. The Special Master will be selected by a majority vote of the votes cast by Plaintiff Subdivisions, with each such subdivision having one vote. d) Plaintiff Subdivision Committee means the committee of Plaintiff Subdivisions that will review and approve the invoices submitted by the Special Master reflecting his or her reasonable time and expenses.
2. Cost Reimbursement to Plaintiff Subdivision
a) Purpose. Substantial resources have been expended to hold Opioid Defendants accountable for creating and profiting from the opioid crisis, and this effort has been a significant catalyst in creating National Opioid Settlements with various manufacturers, distributors, and chain pharmacies.
b) Claims Procedure.

2 i. If a Plaintiff Subdivision is eligible to seek reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, Section X or Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, or Section XI or Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, it must first make a timely application for reimbursement from such funds. To allow sufficient time for determination of those applications, no claim for Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund under this Agreement may be made before the First Claims Date. ii. A Plaintiff Subdivision that wishes to be reimbursed from the CA Subdivision Fund must submit a claim to the Special Master no later than forty-five (45) days after the First Claims Date. The Special Master will then compile and redistribute the aggregated claim totals for each Plaintiff Subdivision via email to representatives of all the Plaintiff Subdivisions. A claim for attorney and staff time must list, for each attorney or staff member included in the claim, the following information: name, title, total hours claimed, hourly rate (including, if sought, benefits and share of overhead), and narrative summarizing the general nature of the work performed by the attorney or staff member. For reimbursement of “hard” costs, the subdivision may aggregate across a category (e.g., total for travel costs). It is the intention of the Plaintiff Subdivisions that submission of documents related to reimbursement of Costs does not waive any attorney-client privilege or exemptions to the California Public Records Act.
iii. The Special Master may request, at his or her sole option, additional documents or details to assist in the final award of Costs.
iv. The Special Master will review claims for reasonableness and will notify each Plaintiff Subdivision of the final determination of its claim, and will provide a list of all final awards to all Plaintiff Subdivisions by email or, upon request, via First Class U.S. Mail. Any Plaintiff Subdivision may ask the Special Master to reconsider any final award within twenty-one (21) days. The Special Master will make a final determination on any such reconsideration request within thirty (30) days of receipt. v. Any decision of the Special Master is final and binding, and will be considered under the California Arbitration Act, Code of Civil Procedure section 1280 et seq. as a final arbitration award. Nothing in this agreement is intended to expand the scope of judicial review of the final award for errors of fact or law, and the Parties agree that they may only seek to vacate the award if clear and convincing evidence demonstrates one of the factors set forth in Code of Civil Procedure, section 1286.2, subdivision (a). Plaintiff Subdivisions will have fourteen (14) days after all final awards are made, together with any final determination of a request for reconsideration, to seek review in the Superior Court of California, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 1285, where the State has filed its Consent Judgment.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 124
3 vi. The Special Master will prepare a report of Costs that includes his or her fees and expenses at least ninety (90) days before the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Special Master’s preparation of a report of Costs does not discharge a Plaintiff Subdivision’s reporting requirement under Section VIII.C of the Allergan Settlement Agreement.
vii. A member of the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee, which is a CA Participating Subdivision, will submit to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Allergan a report of the fees and expenses incurred by the Special Master pursuant to Section VIII.C of the Allergan Settlement Agreement.
c) Claims Priority and Limitation.
i. The Special Master will submit invoices for compensation of reasonable fees and expenses to the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will promptly review and, if reasonable, approve the Special Master’s invoice for compensation. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will submit approved invoices to the Settlement Fund Administrator for payment. The Special Master’s approved invoices have priority and will be paid first from the CA Subdivision Fund before any award of Costs, subject to the limitation in Section 2.c.v below. ii. Final Awards of Costs that do not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid next in priority after the Special Master’s approved invoices.
iii. Final Awards of Costs in excess of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid proportionally from the funds remaining in that year’s Annual Payment. iv. Any claim for Costs that is not paid in full will be allocated against the next year’s distribution from the CA Subdivision Fund, until all approved claims for Costs are paid in full.
v. In no event will more than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year be used to pay Costs or the Special Master’s approved invoices. vi. In no event shall more than $28 million of the total CA Subdivision Funds paid pursuant to the Teva Settlement Agreement, Allergan Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, CVS Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and the Walmart Settlement Agreement be used to pay Costs.
d) Collateral Source Payments and Third-Party Settlement. i. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision is awarded compensation, in whole or in part, by any source of funds created as a result of litigation against an Opioid Defendant for its reasonable Costs, it will reduce its claim for Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund by that amount. If a Plaintiff Subdivision has already received a final award of Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund, it will repay the fund up to the prior award DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 125
4 of Costs via a payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator or notify the Settlement Fund Administrator that its allocation from the next and subsequent Annual Payments should be reduced accordingly. If the Plaintiff Subdivision is repaying any prior award of Costs, that repayment will occur as soon as is feasible after the Plaintiff Subdivision’s receipt of Cost funds from the collateral source, but no more than 90 days after its receipt from the collateral source. The Settlement Fund Administrator will add any repaid Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund. Any Plaintiff Subdivision that has submitted for reimbursement to any national fund and has not received a final determination by the First Claims Date may request that the settlement administrator withhold some or all of its payment from the CA Subdivision Fund in order to avoid repayment.
ii. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision reaches a monetary settlement or compromise against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement, the monetary portion of such settlement, net of fees paid to outside contingency fee counsel and of funds earmarked strictly for abatement, will be credited against its Costs and the subdivision will be ineligible to recover those credited Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund. Plaintiff Subdivisions negotiating monetary settlements or compromises against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement will negotiate for funds to repay any Costs it previously received from the CA Subdivision Fund or for Costs it otherwise might be eligible to claim from the CA Subdivision Fund. If such a settlement is paid after all final approved claims for Costs by all Plaintiff Subdivisions are satisfied in full, the settling subdivision will reimburse the CA Subdivision Fund in that amount by making payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator to add to the CA Subdivision Fund in a manner consistent with the repayments described in section 2.d.i above.

1 APPENDIX 3
CALIFORNIA-SUBDIVISION BACKSTOP AGREEMENT
On August 6, 2021, Judge Polster of the US District Court for the Northern District of Ohio issued an Order (the Order), docket number 3814, in In Re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL 2804, addressing contingent attorney fee contracts between political subdivisions eligible to participate in the Allergan Settlement and their counsel.
In light of the Order, and at the request of [SUBDIVISION], the [SUBDIVISION], its counsel [COUNSEL], and the California Attorney General, on behalf of the State of California, are entering into this California-Subdivision Backstop Agreement (Backstop Agreement). [SUBDIVISION] and [COUNSEL] intend this Backstop Agreement to constitute a State BackStop Agreement as that term is used in the Order and in Exhibit R (Agreement on Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses) of the Allergan Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to this Backstop Agreement, [SUBDIVISION] may, subject to the limitations of the Allergan Settlement Agreement and CA Allergan Allocation Agreement, as well as any other limitations imposed by law, use funds that it receives from the Allergan Settlement CA Subdivision Fund to pay a contingent fee to [COUNSEL]. Any such payment from [SUBDIVISION] to [COUNSEL], together with any contingency fees that [COUNSEL] may receive from the national Attorney Fee Fund, will not exceed a total contingency fee of [PERCENTAGE NOT TO EXCEED 15%] of the total gross recovery of [SUBDIVISION] from the Allergan Settlement.
[COUNSEL] certify that they first sought fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund created under the Allergan Settlement Agreement before seeking or accepting payment under this backstop agreement. [COUNSEL] further certify that they are not seeking and will not accept payment under this backstop agreement of any litigation fees or costs that have been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
The Attorney General is executing this agreement solely because the definition of “State BackStop Agreement” in Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement requires such agreements to be between “a Settling State” and private counsel for a participating subdivision. Neither the California Attorney General nor the State of California have any obligations under this Backstop Agreement, and this Backstop Agreement does not require the payment of any state funds to [SUBDIVISION], [COUNSEL], or any other party.

1 Proposed California State-Subdivision Agreement
Regarding Distribution and Use of
Settlement Funds – CVS Settlement
1. Introduction
Pursuant to the CVS Settlement Agreement, dated as of December 9, 2022, and any revision thereto as well as any modification thereto entered into by the State of California and CVS (the “CVS Settlement Agreement”), including Section V and Exhibit O, the State of California proposes this agreement (the “CA CVS Allocation Agreement”) to govern the allocation, distribution, and use of Settlement Fund payments made to California pursuant to Sections IV and V of the CVS Settlement Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not apply to payments made pursuant to Sections IX or X of the CVS Settlement Agreement.

2 Litigating Special District, that filed a lawsuit, on behalf of the Subdivision and/or through an official of the Subdivision on behalf of the People of the State of California, against one or more Opioid Defendants prior to October 1, 2020. j) Opioid Defendant means any defendant (including but not limited to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Allergan Finance, LLC, Allergan Limited, CVS Health Corporation, CVS Pharmacy, Inc., Walgreen Co., Walmart Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Purdue Pharma L.P., Cardinal Health, Inc., AmerisourceBergen Corporation, and McKesson Corporation) named in a lawsuit seeking damages, abatement, or other remedies related to or caused by the opioid public health crisis in any lawsuit brought by any state or local government on or before October 1, 2020.
3. General Terms
This agreement is subject to the requirements of the CVS Settlement Agreement, as well as applicable law, and the CVS Settlement Agreement governs over any inconsistent provision of this CA CVS Allocation Agreement. Terms used in this CA CVS Allocation Agreement have the same meaning as in the CVS Settlement Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
Pursuant to Section V(E)(1) of the CVS Settlement Agreement, (a) all Settlement Fund payments will be used for Opioid Remediation, except as allowed by Section V(B)(2) of the CVS Settlement Agreement; and (b) at least seventy percent (70%) of Settlement Fund payment amounts will be used solely for future Opioid Remediation.
4. State Allocation
The Settlement Fund payments to California,1 pursuant to the CVS Settlement Agreement, shall be allocated as follows: 15% to the State Fund; 70% to the Abatement Accounts Fund; and 15% to the Subdivision Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, all funds allocated to California from the Settlement Fund shall be combined pursuant to this CA CVS Allocation Agreement, and 15% of that total shall be allocated to the State of California (the “State of California Allocation”), 70% to the California Abatement Accounts Fund (“CA Abatement Accounts Fund”), and 15% to the California Subdivision Fund (“CA Subdivision Fund”).
1 For purposes of clarity, use of the term “California” refers to the geographic territory of California and the state and its local governments therein. The term “State” or “State of California” refers to the State of California as a governmental unit.

3 A. State of California Allocation
Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the State and used by the State for future Opioid Remediation.
B. CA Abatement Accounts Fund
i. Allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) Seventy percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. The funds in the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be allocated based on the allocation model developed in connection with the proposed negotiating class in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804), as adjusted to reflect only those cities and counties that are eligible, based on population or litigation status, to become a CA Participating Subdivision. The percentage from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund allocated to each CA Participating Subdivision is set forth in Appendix 1 in the column entitled abatement percentage (the “Local Allocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, CA Litigating Special Districts and California towns, cities, and counties with a population less than 10,000 are not eligible to receive an allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds.
b) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a county, or a city and county, will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision, and will receive payments as provided in the CVS Settlement Agreement. c) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a city will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision. The Local Allocation share for a city that is a CA Participating Subdivision will be paid to the county in which the city is located, rather than to the city, so long as: (a) the county is a CA Participating Subdivision, and (b) the city has not advised the Settlement Fund Administrator that it requests direct payment at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. A Local Allocation share allocated to a city but paid to a county is not required to be spent exclusively for abatement activities in that city, but will become part of the county’s share of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds, which will be used in accordance with Section 4.B.ii (Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds) and reported on in accordance with Section 4.B.iii (CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight).
d) A city within a county that is a CA Participating Subdivision may opt in or out of direct payment at any time, and it may also elect direct payment of only a portion of its share, with the remainder going to the county, by providing notice to the Settlement Fund Administrator at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. For purposes of this CA CVS Allocation Agreement, the Cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Jose and Eureka will be deemed to have elected direct payment if they become Participating Subdivisions.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 130
4 e) The State will receive the Local Allocation share of any payment to the Settlement Fund that is attributable to a county or city that is eligible to become a CA Participating Subdivision, but that has not, as of the date of that payment to the Settlement Fund, become a Participating Subdivision.
f) Funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision, and not expended or encumbered within five years of receipt and in accordance with the CVS Settlement Agreement and this CA CVS Allocation Agreement shall be transferred to the State; provided however, that CA Participating Subdivisions have seven years to expend or encumber CA Abatement Accounts Funds designated to support capital outlay projects before they must be transferred to the State. This provision shall not apply to the Cost Reimbursement Funds, which shall be controlled by Appendix 2.
ii. Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) The CA Abatement Accounts Funds will be used for future Opioid Remediation in one or more of the areas described in the List of Opioid Remediation Uses, which is Exhibit E to the CVS Settlement Agreement.
b) In addition to this requirement, no less than 50% of the funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision from the Abatement Accounts Fund in each calendar year will be used for one or more of the following High Impact Abatement Activities:
(1) the provision of matching funds or operating costs for substance use disorder facilities within the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program; (2) creating new or expanded Substance Use Disorder (“SUD”) treatment infrastructure; (3) addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by SUD;
(4) diversion of people with SUD from the justice system into treatment, including by providing training and resources to first and early responders (sworn and non-sworn) and implementing best practices for outreach, diversion and deflection, employability, restorative justice, and harm reduction; and/or (5) interventions to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth. c) The California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) may add to this list (but not delete from it) by designating additional High Impact Abatement Activities. DHCS will make reasonable efforts to consult with stakeholders, including the CA Participating Subdivisions, before adding additional High Impact Abatement Activities to this list.
d) For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the requirements of the CVS Settlement Agreement and applicable law, CA Participating Subdivisions may form agreements or
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 131
5 ventures, or otherwise work in collaboration with, federal, state, local, tribal or private sector entities in pursuing Opioid Remediation activities funded from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. Further, provided that all CA Abatement Accounts Funds are used for Opioid Remediation consistent with the CVS Settlement Agreement and this CA CVS Allocation Agreement, a county and any cities or towns within the county may agree to reallocate their respective shares of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds among themselves, provided that any direct distribution may only be to a CA Participating Subdivision and any CA Participating Subdivision must agree to their share being reallocated.
iii. CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight
a) Pursuant to Section 5 below, CA Participating Subdivisions receiving settlement funds must prepare and file reports annually regarding the use of those funds. DHCS may regularly review the reports prepared by CA Participating Subdivisions about the use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds for compliance with the CVS Settlement Agreement and this CA CVS Allocation Agreement.
b) If DHCS determines that a CA Participating Subdivision’s use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds is inconsistent with the CVS Settlement Agreement or this CA CVS Allocation Agreement, whether through review of reports or information from any other sources, DHCS shall send a request to meet and confer with the CA Participating Subdivision. The parties shall meet and confer in an effort to resolve the concern. c) If the parties are unable to reach a resolution, DHCS may conduct an audit of the Subdivision’s use of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds within one year of the request to meet and confer, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to extend the meet and confer time frame.
d) If the concern still cannot be resolved, the State may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to resolve the concern or otherwise enforce the requirements of the CVS Settlement Agreement or this CA CVS Allocation Agreement. However, in no case shall any audit be conducted, or motion be brought, as to a specific expenditure of funds, more than five years after the date on which the expenditure of the funds was reported to DHCS, in accordance with this agreement. e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not limit the statutory or constitutional authority of any state or local agency or official to conduct audits, investigations, or other oversight activities, or to pursue administrative, civil, or criminal enforcement actions.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 132
6 C. CA Subdivision Fund
i. Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Subdivision Fund. All funds in the CA Subdivision Fund will be allocated among the Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions. The funds will be used, subject to any limits imposed by the CVS Settlement Agreement and this CA CVS Allocation Agreement, to fund future Opioid Remediation and reimburse past opioidrelated expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation, and to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Special Master as set forth in Appendix 2.
The CA Subdivision Funds will be allocated as follows:
a) First, funds in the CA Subdivision Fund shall be used to pay the Special Master’s reasonable fees and expenses in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document;
b) Second, funds will be allocated to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions that have been awarded Costs, as defined by and in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document. c) Funds remaining in the CA Subdivision Fund, which shall consist of no less than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year pursuant to Appendix 2, Section 2.c.v, will be distributed to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions, in relative proportion to the Local Allocation. These funds shall be used to fund future opioid-related projects and to reimburse past opioid-related expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation against any Opioid Defendant.
D. Provision for State Back-Stop Agreement
On August 6, 2021, Judge Dan Polster of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, issued an order (ECF Docket Number 3814) (“MDL Fees Order”) in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804) “cap[ping] all applicable contingent fee agreements at 15%.” Private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions should seek its contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds under the CVS Settlement Agreement, and, if applicable, the Teva Settlement Agreement, Allergan Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and Walmart Settlement Agreement.
A Plaintiff Subdivision may separately agree to use its share of the CA Subdivision Fund to pay for fees or costs incurred by its contingency-fee counsel (“State Back-Stop Agreement”), pursuant to Exhibit R, section I(Y), of the CVS Settlement Agreement and the MDL Fees Order, so long as such contingency fees do not exceed a total contingency fee of 15% of the total gross recovery of the Plaintiff Subdivision pursuant to the CVS Settlement, inclusive of contingency fees from the national Attorney Fee Fund and this State Back-Stop Agreement. Before seeking fees or litigation costs and expenses from a State Back-Stop Agreement, private counsel DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 133
7 representing Plaintiff Subdivisions must first seek contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds created under the CVS Settlement Agreement. Further, private counsel may only seek reimbursement for litigation fees and costs that have not previously been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
To effectuate a State Back-Stop Agreement pursuant to this section, an agreement in the form of Appendix 3 may be entered into by a Plaintiff Subdivision, private counsel, and the California Office of the Attorney General. The California Office of the Attorney General shall, upon the request of a Plaintiff Subdivision, execute any agreement executed by a Plaintiff Subdivision and its private counsel if it is in the form of Appendix 3. The California Office of the Attorney General will also consider requests from Plaintiff Subdivisions to execute and enter into agreements presented in other forms.
For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not require a Plaintiff Subdivision to request or enter into a State Back-Stop Agreement, and no State Back-Stop Agreement shall impose any duty or obligation on the State of California or any of its agencies or officers, including without limitation the Attorney General.
5. State and Subdivision Reporting
a) DHCS will prepare an annual written report regarding the State’s use of funds from the settlement until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will be made publicly available on the DHCS web site.
b) Each CA Participating Subdivision that receives payments of funds from the settlement will prepare written reports at least annually regarding the use of those funds, until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will also include a certification that all funds that the CA Participating Subdivision has received through the settlement have been used in compliance with the CVS Settlement Agreement and this CA CVS Allocation Agreement. The report will be in a form reasonably determined by DHCS. Prior to specifying the form of the report DHCS will confer with representatives of the Plaintiff Subdivisions.
c) The State and all CA Participating Subdivisions receiving CA Abatement Accounts Funds will track all deposits and expenditures. Each such subdivision is responsible solely for the CA Abatement Accounts Funds it receives. A county is not responsible for oversight, reporting, or monitoring of CA Abatement Accounts Funds received by a city within that county that receives direct payment. Unless otherwise exempt, Subdivisions’ expenditures and uses of CA Abatement Accounts Funds and other Settlement Funds will be subject to the normal budgetary and expenditure process of the Subdivision. d) Each Plaintiff Subdivision receiving CA Subdivision Funds will track all deposits and expenditures, as required by the CVS Settlement Agreement and this CA CVS Allocation Agreement. Among other things, Plaintiff Subdivisions using monies from the CA Subdivision Fund for purposes that do not qualify as Opioid Remediation must identify and include in their annual report, the amount and how such funds were used, including if used to pay attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, or litigation costs. Pursuant to Section V(B)(2) of the CVS Settlement Agreement, such information must also be reported to the Settlement Fund Administrator and CVS.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 134
8 e) In each year in which DHCS prepares an annual report DHCS will also host a meeting to discuss the annual report and the Opioid Remediation activities being carried out by the State and Participating Subdivisions.
6. Miscellaneous
a) The State or any CA Participating Subdivision may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to enforce the requirements of this CA CVS Allocation Agreement. Before filing such a motion or action the State will meet and confer with any CA Participating Subdivision that is the subject of the anticipated motion or action, and vice versa.
b) Except as provided in the CVS Settlement Agreement, this CA CVS Allocation Agreement is not enforceable by any party other than the State and the CA Participating Subdivisions. It does not confer any rights or remedies upon, and shall not be enforceable by, any third party.
c) Except as provided in the CA CVS Allocation Agreement, if any provision of this agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement, or the application of such provision to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each other provision of this agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. d) Except as provided in the CVS Settlement Agreement, this agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of California.

APPENDIX 1
DISCLAIMER: The allocation percentages herein are estimates only and should not be relied on for decisions regarding legal rights, releases, waivers, or other decisions affecting current or potential legal claims. Percentages shown in the Plaintiff Subdivision Percentage column may change pursuant to Section 4.C. of the California State-Subdivision Agreement Regarding Distribution and Use of Settlement Funds—CVS Settlement, whereas the percentages shown in the Abatement Percentage column should not change.
Participating Subdivisions, underlying calculations, and the calculated allocation percentages are subject to change.

APPENDIX 2
Cost Reimbursement Procedure
1. Additional defined terms:
a) Costs means the reasonable amounts paid for the attorney and other City Attorney and County Counsel staff time for individuals employed by a Plaintiff Subdivision at the contractual rate, inclusive of benefits and overhead, together with amounts paid for court reporters, experts, copying, electronic research, travel, vendors, and the like, which were not previously reimbursed and which were paid or incurred (i) prior to December 31, 2022 in litigation against any Opioid Defendant and/or (ii) in negotiating and drafting any CA Allocation Agreement(s) concerning a settlement with any Opioid Defendant(s).
Costs does not include attorneys’ fees, costs, or expenses incurred by private contingency fee counsel. No part of the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be used to reimburse Costs.
b) First Claims Date means October 1, 2023 or when all applications for reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, Section XI and Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, or Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, have been finally determined under the provisions of those agreements, whichever comes first.
c) Special Master means a retired judicial officer or former public lawyer, not presently employed or retained by a Plaintiff Subdivision, who will aggregate, review, and determine the reasonable Costs to be awarded to each Plaintiff Subdivision that submits a claim for reimbursement of Costs. The Special Master will be selected by a majority vote of the votes cast by Plaintiff Subdivisions, with each such subdivision having one vote. d) Plaintiff Subdivision Committee means the committee of Plaintiff Subdivisions that will review and approve the invoices submitted by the Special Master reflecting his or her reasonable time and expenses.
2. Cost Reimbursement to Plaintiff Subdivision
a) Purpose. Substantial resources have been expended to hold Opioid Defendants accountable for creating and profiting from the opioid crisis, and this effort has been a significant catalyst in creating National Opioid Settlements with various manufacturers, distributors, and chain pharmacies.
b) Claims Procedure.
i. If a Plaintiff Subdivision is eligible to seek reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 153

Agreement, Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, Section X or Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, or Section XI or Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, it must first make a timely application for reimbursement from such funds. To allow sufficient time for determination of those applications, no claim for Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund under this Agreement may be made before the First Claims Date. ii. A Plaintiff Subdivision that wishes to be reimbursed from the CA Subdivision Fund must submit a claim to the Special Master no later than forty-five (45) days after the First Claims Date. The Special Master will then compile and redistribute the aggregated claim totals for each Plaintiff Subdivision via email to representatives of all the Plaintiff Subdivisions. A claim for attorney and staff time must list, for each attorney or staff member included in the claim, the following information: name, title, total hours claimed, hourly rate (including, if sought, benefits and share of overhead), and narrative summarizing the general nature of the work performed by the attorney or staff member. For reimbursement of “hard” costs, the subdivision may aggregate across a category (e.g., total for travel costs). It is the intention of the Plaintiff Subdivisions that submission of documents related to reimbursement of Costs does not waive any attorney-client privilege or exemptions to the California Public Records Act.
iii. The Special Master may request, at his or her sole option, additional documents or details to assist in the final award of Costs.
iv. The Special Master will review claims for reasonableness and will notify each Plaintiff Subdivision of the final determination of its claim, and will provide a list of all final awards to all Plaintiff Subdivisions by email or, upon request, via First Class U.S. Mail. Any Plaintiff Subdivision may ask the Special Master to reconsider any final award within twenty-one (21) days. The Special Master will make a final determination on any such reconsideration request within thirty (30) days of receipt.
v. Any decision of the Special Master is final and binding, and will be considered under the California Arbitration Act, Code of Civil Procedure section 1280 et seq. as a final arbitration award. Nothing in this agreement is intended to expand the scope of judicial review of the final award for errors of fact or law, and the Parties agree that they may only seek to vacate the award if clear and convincing evidence demonstrates one of the factors set forth in Code of Civil Procedure, section 1286.2, subdivision (a). Plaintiff Subdivisions will have fourteen (14) days after all final awards are made, together with any final determination of a request for DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 154

reconsideration, to seek review in the Superior Court of California, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 1285, where the State has filed its Consent Judgment. vi. The Special Master will prepare a report of Costs that includes his or her fees and expenses at least ninety (90) days before the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Special Master’s preparation of a report of Costs does not discharge a Plaintiff Subdivision’s reporting requirement under Section V(B)(2) of the CVS Settlement Agreement.
vii. A member of the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee, which is a CA Participating Subdivision, will submit to the Settlement Fund Administrator and CVS a report of the fees and expenses incurred by the Special Master pursuant to Section V(B)(2) of the CVS Settlement Agreement.
c) Claims Priority and Limitation.
i. The Special Master will submit invoices for compensation of reasonable fees and expenses to the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will promptly review and, if reasonable, approve the Special Master’s invoice for compensation. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will submit approved invoices to the Settlement Fund Administrator for payment. The Special Master’s approved invoices have priority and will be paid first from the CA Subdivision Fund before any award of Costs, subject to the limitation in Section
2.c.v below.
ii. Final Awards of Costs that do not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid next in priority after the Special Master’s approved invoices.
iii. Final Awards of Costs in excess of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid proportionally from the funds remaining in that year’s Annual Payment. iv. Any claim for Costs that is not paid in full will be allocated against the next year’s distribution from the CA Subdivision Fund, until all approved claims for Costs are paid in full.
v. In no event will more than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year be used to pay Costs or the Special Master’s approved invoices. vi. In no event shall more than $28 million of the total CA Subdivision Funds paid pursuant to the CVS Settlement Agreement, Teva Settlement Agreement, Allergan Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and the Walmart Settlement Agreement be used to pay Costs.

d) Collateral Source Payments and Third-Party Settlement. i. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision is awarded compensation, in whole or in part, by any source of funds created as a result of litigation against an Opioid Defendant for its reasonable Costs, it will reduce its claim for Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund by that amount. If a Plaintiff Subdivision has already received a final award of Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund, it will repay the fund up to the prior award of Costs via a payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator or notify the Settlement Fund Administrator that its allocation from the next and subsequent Annual Payments should be reduced accordingly. If the Plaintiff Subdivision is repaying any prior award of Costs, that repayment will occur as soon as is feasible after the Plaintiff Subdivision’s receipt of Cost funds from the collateral source, but no more than 90 days after its receipt from the collateral source. The Settlement Fund Administrator will add any repaid Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund. Any Plaintiff Subdivision that has submitted for reimbursement to any national fund and has not received a final determination by the First Claims Date may request that the settlement administrator withhold some or all of its payment from the CA Subdivision Fund in order to avoid repayment.
ii. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision reaches a monetary settlement or compromise against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement, the monetary portion of such settlement, net of fees paid to outside contingency fee counsel and of funds earmarked strictly for abatement, will be credited against its Costs and the subdivision will be ineligible to recover those credited Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund. Plaintiff Subdivisions negotiating monetary settlements or compromises against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement will negotiate for funds to repay any Costs it previously received from the CA Subdivision Fund or for Costs it otherwise might be eligible to claim from the CA Subdivision Fund. If such a settlement is paid after all final approved claims for Costs by all Plaintiff Subdivisions are satisfied in full, the settling subdivision will reimburse the CA Subdivision Fund in that amount by making payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator to add to the CA Subdivision Fund in a manner consistent with the repayments described in section 2.d.i above.

CALIFORNIA-SUBDIVISION BACKSTOP AGREEMENT
On August 6, 2021, Judge Polster of the US District Court for the Northern District of Ohio issued an Order (the Order), docket number 3814, in In Re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL 2804, addressing contingent attorney fee contracts between political subdivisions eligible to participate in the CVS Settlement and their counsel.
In light of the Order, and at the request of [SUBDIVISION], the [SUBDIVISION], its counsel [COUNSEL], and the California Attorney General, on behalf of the State of California, are entering into this California-Subdivision Backstop Agreement (Backstop Agreement). [SUBDIVISION] and [COUNSEL] intend this Backstop Agreement to constitute a State BackStop Agreement as that term is used in the Order and in Exhibit R (Agreement on Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses) of the CVS Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to this Backstop Agreement, [SUBDIVISION] may, subject to the limitations of the CVS Settlement Agreement and CA CVS Allocation Agreement, as well as any other limitations imposed by law, use funds that it receives from the CVS Settlement CA Subdivision Fund to pay a contingent fee to [COUNSEL]. Any such payment from [SUBDIVISION] to [COUNSEL], together with any contingency fees that [COUNSEL] may receive from the national Attorney Fee Fund, will not exceed a total contingency fee of [PERCENTAGE NOT TO EXCEED 15%] of the total gross recovery of [SUBDIVISION] from the CVS Settlement. [COUNSEL] certify that they first sought fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund created under the CVS Settlement Agreement before seeking or accepting payment under this backstop agreement. [COUNSEL] further certify that they are not seeking and will not accept payment under this backstop agreement of any litigation fees or costs that have been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
The Attorney General is executing this agreement solely because the definition of “State BackStop Agreement” in Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement requires such agreements to be between “a Settling State” and private counsel for a participating subdivision. Neither the California Attorney General nor the State of California have any obligations under this Backstop Agreement, and this Backstop Agreement does not require the payment of any state funds to [SUBDIVISION], [COUNSEL], or any other party.

1 Proposed California State-Subdivision Agreement
Regarding Distribution and Use of
Settlement Funds – Teva Settlement
1. Introduction
Pursuant to the Teva Settlement Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2022, and any revision thereto (the “Teva Settlement Agreement”), including Section VIII and Exhibit O, the State of California proposes this agreement (the “CA Teva Allocation Agreement”) to govern the allocation, distribution, and use of Settlement Fund payments made to California pursuant to Sections VI, VII, and VIII of the Teva Settlement Agreement.

3. General Terms
This agreement is subject to the requirements of the Teva Settlement Agreement, as well as applicable law, and the Teva Settlement Agreement governs over any inconsistent provision of this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. Terms used in this CA Teva Allocation Agreement have the same meaning as in the Teva Settlement Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
Pursuant to Section VIII(E)(1) of the Teva Settlement Agreement, (a) all Settlement Fund payments will be used for Opioid Remediation, except as allowed by Section VIII(C) of the Teva Settlement Agreement; and (b) at least seventy percent (70%) of Settlement Fund payment amounts will be used solely for future Opioid Remediation.
4. State Allocation
The Settlement Fund payments to California,2pursuant to the Teva Settlement Agreement, shall be allocated as follows: 15% to the State Fund; 70% to the Abatement Accounts Fund; and 15% to the Subdivision Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, all funds allocated to California from the 2 For purposes of clarity, use of the term “California” refers to the geographic territory of California and the state and its local governments therein.

3 Settlement Fund shall be combined pursuant to this CA Teva Allocation Agreement, and 15% of that total shall be allocated to the State of California (the “State of California Allocation”), 70% to the California Abatement Accounts Fund (“CA Abatement Accounts Fund”), and 15% to the California Subdivision Fund (“CA Subdivision Fund”).
A. State of California Allocation
Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the State and used by the State for future Opioid Remediation.
B. CA Abatement Accounts Fund
i. Allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) Seventy percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. The funds in the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be allocated based on the allocation model developed in connection with the proposed negotiating class in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804), as adjusted to reflect only those cities and counties that are eligible, based on population or litigation status, to become a CA Participating Subdivision. The percentage from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund allocated to each CA Participating Subdivision is set forth in Appendix 1 in the column entitled abatement percentage (the “Local Allocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, CA Litigating Special Districts and California towns, cities, and counties with a population less than 10,000 are not eligible to receive an allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds.
b) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a county, or a city and county, will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision, and will receive payments as provided in the Teva Settlement Agreement. c) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a city will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision. The Local Allocation share for a city that is a CA Participating Subdivision will be paid to the county in which the city is located, rather than to the city, so long as: (a) the county is a CA Participating Subdivision, and (b) the city has not advised the Settlement Fund Administrator that it requests direct payment at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. A Local Allocation share allocated to a city but paid to a county is not required to be spent exclusively for abatement activities in that city, but will become part of the county’s share of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds, which will be used in accordance with Section 4.B.ii (Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds) and reported on in accordance with Section 4.B.iii (CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight).
d) A city within a county that is a CA Participating Subdivision may opt in or out of direct payment at any time, and it may also elect direct payment of only a portion of its share, with the remainder going to the county, by providing notice to the Settlement Fund Administrator at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. For purposes of this CA Teva
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 160
4 Allocation Agreement, the Cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Jose and Eureka will be deemed to have elected direct payment if they become Participating Subdivisions.
e) The State will receive the Local Allocation share of any payment to the Settlement Fund that is attributable to a county or city that is eligible to become a CA Participating Subdivision, but that has not, as of the date of that payment to the Settlement Fund, become a Participating Subdivision.
f) Funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision, and not expended or encumbered within five years of receipt and in accordance with the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement shall be transferred to the State; provided however, that CA Participating Subdivisions have seven years to expend or encumber CA Abatement Accounts Funds designated to support capital outlay projects before they must be transferred to the State. This provision shall not apply to the Cost Reimbursement Funds, which shall be controlled by Appendix 2. ii. Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) The CA Abatement Accounts Funds will be used for future Opioid Remediation in one or more of the areas described in the List of Opioid Remediation Uses, which is Exhibit E to the Teva Settlement Agreement.
b) In addition to this requirement, no less than 50% of the funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision from the Abatement Accounts Fund in each calendar year will be used for one or more of the following High Impact Abatement Activities:
(1) the provision of matching funds or operating costs for substance use disorder facilities within the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program; (2) creating new or expanded Substance Use Disorder (“SUD”) treatment infrastructure; (3) addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by SUD;
(4) diversion of people with SUD from the justice system into treatment, including by providing training and resources to first and early responders (sworn and non-sworn) and implementing best practices for outreach, diversion and deflection, employability, restorative justice, and harm reduction; and/or (5) interventions to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth. c) The California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) may add to this list (but not delete from it) by designating additional High Impact Abatement Activities. DHCS will make reasonable efforts to consult with stakeholders, including the CA Participating Subdivisions, before adding additional High Impact Abatement Activities to this list.

5 d) For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the requirements of the Teva Settlement Agreement and applicable law, CA Participating Subdivisions may form agreements or ventures, or otherwise work in collaboration with, federal, state, local, tribal or private sector entities in pursuing Opioid Remediation activities funded from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. Further, provided that all CA Abatement Accounts Funds are used for Opioid Remediation consistent with the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement, a county and any cities or towns within the county may agree to reallocate their respective shares of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds among themselves, provided that any direct distribution may only be to a CA Participating Subdivision and any CA Participating Subdivision must agree to their share being reallocated.
iii. CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight
a) Pursuant to Section 5 below, CA Participating Subdivisions receiving settlement funds must prepare and file reports annually regarding the use of those funds. DHCS may regularly review the reports prepared by CA Participating Subdivisions about the use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds for compliance with the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement.
b) If DHCS determines that a CA Participating Subdivision’s use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds is inconsistent with the Teva Settlement Agreement or this CA Teva Allocation Agreement, whether through review of reports or information from any other sources, DHCS shall send a request to meet and confer with the CA Participating Subdivision. The parties shall meet and confer in an effort to resolve the concern. c) If the parties are unable to reach a resolution, DHCS may conduct an audit of the Subdivision’s use of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds within one year of the request to meet and confer, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to extend the meet and confer time frame.
d) If the concern still cannot be resolved, the State may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to resolve the concern or otherwise enforce the requirements of the Teva Settlement Agreement or this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. However, in no case shall any audit be conducted, or motion be brought, as to a specific expenditure of funds, more than five years after the date on which the expenditure of the funds was reported to DHCS, in accordance with this agreement. e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not limit the statutory or constitutional authority of any state or local agency or official to conduct audits, 6 investigations, or other oversight activities, or to pursue administrative, civil, or criminal enforcement actions.

6 C. CA Subdivision Fund
i. Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Subdivision Fund. All funds in the CA Subdivision Fund will be allocated among the Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions. The funds will be used, subject to any limits imposed by the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement, to fund future Opioid Remediation and reimburse past opioidrelated expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation, and to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Special Master as set forth in Appendix 2.
The CA Subdivision Funds will be allocated as follows:
a) First, funds in the CA Subdivision Fund shall be used to pay the Special Master’s reasonable fees and expenses in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document;
b) Second, funds will be allocated to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions that have been awarded Costs, as defined by and in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document. c) Funds remaining in the CA Subdivision Fund, which shall consist of no less than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year pursuant to Appendix 2, Section 2.c.v, will be distributed to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions, in relative proportion to the Local Allocation. These funds shall be used to fund future opioid-related projects and to reimburse past opioid-related expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation against any Opioid Defendant.
D. Provision for State Back-Stop Agreement
On August 6, 2021, Judge Dan Polster of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, issued an order (ECF Docket Number 3814) (“MDL Fees Order”) in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804) “cap[ping] all applicable contingent fee agreements at 15%.” Private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions should seek its contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds under the Teva Settlement Agreement and Allergan Settlement Agreement, and, if applicable, the CVS Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and Walmart Settlement Agreement.
A Plaintiff Subdivision may separately agree to use its share of the CA Subdivision Fund to pay for fees or costs incurred by its contingency-fee counsel (“State Back-Stop Agreement”), pursuant to Exhibit R, section I(X), of the Teva Settlement Agreement and the MDL Fees Order, DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 163
7 so long as such contingency fees do not exceed a total contingency fee of 15% of the total gross recovery of the Plaintiff Subdivision pursuant to the Teva Settlement, inclusive of contingency fees from the national Attorney Fee Fund and this State Back-Stop Agreement. Before seeking fees or litigation costs and expenses from a State Back-Stop Agreement, private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions must first seek contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds created under the Teva Settlement Agreement. Further, private counsel may only seek reimbursement for litigation fees and costs that have not previously been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
To effectuate a State Back-Stop Agreement pursuant to this section, an agreement in the form of Appendix 3 may be entered into by a Plaintiff Subdivision, private counsel, and the California Office of the Attorney General. The California Office of the Attorney General shall, upon the request of a Plaintiff Subdivision, execute any agreement executed by a Plaintiff Subdivision and its private counsel if it is in the form of Appendix 3. The California Office of the Attorney General will also consider requests from Plaintiff Subdivisions to execute and enter into agreements presented in other forms.
For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not require a Plaintiff Subdivision to request or enter into a State Back-Stop Agreement, and no State Back-Stop Agreement shall impose any duty or obligation on the State of California or any of its agencies or officers, including without limitation the Attorney General.
5. State and Subdivision Reporting
a) DHCS will prepare an annual written report regarding the State’s use of funds from the settlement until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will be made publicly available on the DHCS web site.
b) Each CA Participating Subdivision that receives payments of funds from the settlement will prepare written reports at least annually regarding the use of those funds, until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will also include a certification that all funds that the CA Participating Subdivision has received through the settlement have been used in compliance with the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. The report will be in a form reasonably determined by DHCS. Prior to specifying the form of the report DHCS will confer with representatives of the Plaintiff Subdivisions.
c) The State and all CA Participating Subdivisions receiving CA Abatement Accounts Funds will track all deposits and expenditures. Each such subdivision is responsible solely for the CA Abatement Accounts Funds it receives. A county is not responsible for oversight, reporting, or monitoring of CA Abatement Accounts Funds received by a city within that county that receives direct payment. Unless otherwise exempt, Subdivisions’ expenditures and uses of CA Abatement Accounts Funds and other Settlement Funds will be subject to the normal budgetary and expenditure process of the Subdivision.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 164
8 d) Each Plaintiff Subdivision receiving CA Subdivision Funds will track all deposits and expenditures, as required by the Teva Settlement Agreement and this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. Among other things, Plaintiff Subdivisions using monies from the CA Subdivision Fund for purposes that do not qualify as Opioid Remediation must identify and include in their annual report, the amount and how such funds were used, including if used to pay attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, or litigation costs. Pursuant to Section VIII(C) of the Teva Settlement Agreement, such information must also be reported to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Teva.
e) In each year in which DHCS prepares an annual report DHCS will also host a meeting to discuss the annual report and the Opioid Remediation activities being carried out by the State and Participating Subdivisions.
6. Miscellaneous
a) The State or any CA Participating Subdivision may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to enforce the requirements of this CA Teva Allocation Agreement. Before filing such a motion or action the State will meet and confer with any CA Participating Subdivision that is the subject of the anticipated motion or action, and vice versa.
b) Except as provided in the Teva Settlement Agreement, this CA Teva Allocation Agreement is not enforceable by any party other than the State and the CA Participating Subdivisions. It does not confer any rights or remedies upon, and shall not be enforceable by, any third party.
c) Except as provided in the CA Teva Allocation Agreement, if any provision of this agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement, or the application of such provision to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each other provision of this agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. a) Except as provided in the Teva Settlement Agreement, this agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of California.

1 APPENDIX 2
Cost Reimbursement Procedure
1. Additional defined terms:
a) Costs means the reasonable amounts paid for the attorney and other City Attorney and County Counsel staff time for individuals employed by a Plaintiff Subdivision at the contractual rate, inclusive of benefits and overhead, together with amounts paid for court reporters, experts, copying, electronic research, travel, vendors, and the like, which were not previously reimbursed and which were paid or incurred (i) prior to December 31, 2022 in litigation against any Opioid Defendant and/or (ii) in negotiating and drafting any CA Allocation Agreement(s) concerning a settlement with any Opioid Defendant(s).
Costs does not include attorneys’ fees, costs, or expenses incurred by private contingency fee counsel. No part of the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be used to reimburse Costs.
b) First Claims Date means October 1, 2023 or when all applications for reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, Section XI and Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, or Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, have been finally determined under the provisions of those agreements, whichever comes first. c) Special Master means a retired judicial officer or former public lawyer, not presently employed or retained by a Plaintiff Subdivision, who will aggregate, review, and determine the reasonable Costs to be awarded to each Plaintiff Subdivision that submits a claim for reimbursement of Costs. The Special Master will be selected by a majority vote of the votes cast by Plaintiff Subdivisions, with each such subdivision having one vote. d) Plaintiff Subdivision Committee means the committee of Plaintiff Subdivisions that will review and approve the invoices submitted by the Special Master reflecting his or her reasonable time and expenses.
2. Cost Reimbursement to Plaintiff Subdivision
a) Purpose. Substantial resources have been expended to hold Opioid Defendants accountable for creating and profiting from the opioid crisis, and this effort has been a significant catalyst in creating National Opioid Settlements with various manufacturers, distributors, and chain pharmacies.
b) Claims Procedure.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 183
2 i. If a Plaintiff Subdivision is eligible to seek reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, Section X or Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, or Section XI or Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, it must first make a timely application for reimbursement from such funds. To allow sufficient time for determination of those applications, no claim for Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund under this Agreement may be made before the First Claims Date. ii. A Plaintiff Subdivision that wishes to be reimbursed from the CA Subdivision Fund must submit a claim to the Special Master no later than forty-five (45) days after the First Claims Date. The Special Master will then compile and redistribute the aggregated claim totals for each Plaintiff Subdivision via email to representatives of all the Plaintiff Subdivisions. A claim for attorney and staff time must list, for each attorney or staff member included in the claim, the following information: name, title, total hours claimed, hourly rate (including, if sought, benefits and share of overhead), and narrative summarizing the general nature of the work performed by the attorney or staff member. For reimbursement of “hard” costs, the subdivision may aggregate across a category (e.g., total for travel costs). It is the intention of the Plaintiff Subdivisions that submission of documents related to reimbursement of Costs does not waive any attorney-client privilege or exemptions to the California Public Records Act.
iii. The Special Master may request, at his or her sole option, additional documents or details to assist in the final award of Costs.
iv. The Special Master will review claims for reasonableness and will notify each Plaintiff Subdivision of the final determination of its claim, and will provide a list of all final awards to all Plaintiff Subdivisions by email or, upon request, via First Class U.S. Mail. Any Plaintiff Subdivision may ask the Special Master to reconsider any final award within twenty-one (21) days. The Special Master will make a final determination on any such reconsideration request within thirty (30) days of receipt. v. Any decision of the Special Master is final and binding, and will be considered under the California Arbitration Act, Code of Civil Procedure section 1280 et seq. as a final arbitration award. Nothing in this agreement is intended to expand the scope of judicial review of the final award for errors of fact or law, and the Parties agree that they may only seek to vacate the award if clear and convincing evidence demonstrates one of the factors set forth in Code of Civil Procedure, section 1286.2, subdivision (a). Plaintiff Subdivisions will have fourteen (14) days after all final awards are made, together with any final determination of a request for reconsideration, to seek review in the Superior Court of California, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 1285, where the State has filed its Consent Judgment.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 184
3 vi. The Special Master will prepare a report of Costs that includes his or her fees and expenses at least ninety (90) days before the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Special Master’s preparation of a report of Costs does not discharge a Plaintiff Subdivision’s reporting requirement under Section VIII.C of the Teva Settlement Agreement.
vii. A member of the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee, which is a CA Participating Subdivision, will submit to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Teva a report of the fees and expenses incurred by the Special Master pursuant to Section VIII.C of the Teva Settlement Agreement.
c) Claims Priority and Limitation.
i. The Special Master will submit invoices for compensation of reasonable fees and expenses to the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will promptly review and, if reasonable, approve the Special Master’s invoice for compensation. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will submit approved invoices to the Settlement Fund Administrator for payment. The Special Master’s approved invoices have priority and will be paid first from the CA Subdivision Fund before any award of Costs, subject to the limitation in Section
2.c.v below.
ii. Final Awards of Costs that do not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid next in priority after the Special Master’s approved invoices.
iii. Final Awards of Costs in excess of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid proportionally from the funds remaining in that year’s Annual Payment. iv. Any claim for Costs that is not paid in full will be allocated against the next year’s distribution from the CA Subdivision Fund, until all approved claims for Costs are paid in full.
v. In no event will more than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year be used to pay Costs or the Special Master’s approved invoices. vi. In no event shall more than $28 million of the total CA Subdivision Funds paid pursuant to the Teva Settlement Agreement, Allergan Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, CVS Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and the Walmart Settlement Agreement be used to pay Costs.
d) Collateral Source Payments and Third-Party Settlement. i. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision is awarded compensation, in whole or in part, by any source of funds created as a result of litigation against an Opioid Defendant for 4 its reasonable Costs, it will reduce its claim for Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund by that amount. If a Plaintiff Subdivision has already received a DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 185
4 final award of Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund, it will repay the fund up to the prior award of Costs via a payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator or notify the Settlement Fund Administrator that its allocation from the next and subsequent Annual Payments should be reduced accordingly. If the Plaintiff Subdivision is repaying any prior award of Costs, that repayment will occur as soon as is feasible after the Plaintiff Subdivision’s receipt of Cost funds from the collateral source, but no more than 90 days after its receipt from the collateral source. The Settlement Fund Administrator will add any repaid Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund. Any Plaintiff Subdivision that has submitted for reimbursement to any national fund and has not received a final determination by the First Claims Date may request that the settlement administrator withhold some or all of its payment from the CA Subdivision Fund in order to avoid repayment.
ii. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision reaches a monetary settlement or compromise against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement, the monetary portion of such settlement, net of fees paid to outside contingency fee counsel and of funds earmarked strictly for abatement, will be credited against its Costs and the subdivision will be ineligible to recover those credited Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund. Plaintiff Subdivisions negotiating monetary settlements or compromises against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement will negotiate for funds to repay any Costs it previously received from the CA Subdivision Fund or for Costs it otherwise might be eligible to claim from the CA Subdivision Fund. If such a settlement is paid after all final approved claims for Costs by all Plaintiff Subdivisions are satisfied in full, the settling subdivision will reimburse the CA Subdivision Fund in that amount by making payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator to add to the CA Subdivision Fund in a manner consistent with the repayments described in section 2.d.i above.

CALIFORNIA-SUBDIVISION BACKSTOP AGREEMENT
On August 6, 2021, Judge Polster of the US District Court for the Northern District of Ohio issued an Order (the Order), docket number 3814, in In Re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL 2804, addressing contingent attorney fee contracts between political subdivisions eligible to participate in the Teva Settlement and their counsel.
In light of the Order, and at the request of [SUBDIVISION], the [SUBDIVISION], its counsel [COUNSEL], and the California Attorney General, on behalf of the State of California, are entering into this California-Subdivision Backstop Agreement (Backstop Agreement). [SUBDIVISION] and [COUNSEL] intend this Backstop Agreement to constitute a State BackStop Agreement as that term is used in the Order and in Exhibit R (Agreement on Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses) of the Teva Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to this Backstop Agreement, [SUBDIVISION] may, subject to the limitations of the Teva Settlement Agreement and CA Teva Allocation Agreement, as well as any other limitations imposed by law, use funds that it receives from the Teva Settlement CA Subdivision Fund to pay a contingent fee to [COUNSEL]. Any such payment from [SUBDIVISION] to [COUNSEL], together with any contingency fees that [COUNSEL] may receive from the national Attorney Fee Fund, will not exceed a total contingency fee of [PERCENTAGE NOT TO EXCEED 15%] of the total gross recovery of [SUBDIVISION] from the Teva Settlement. [COUNSEL] certify that they first sought fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund created under the Teva Settlement Agreement before seeking or accepting payment under this backstop agreement. [COUNSEL] further certify that they are not seeking and will not accept payment under this backstop agreement of any litigation fees or costs that have been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
The Attorney General is executing this agreement solely because the definition of “State BackStop Agreement” in Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement requires such agreements to be between “a Settling State” and private counsel for a participating subdivision. Neither the California Attorney General nor the State of California have any obligations under this Backstop Agreement, and this Backstop Agreement does not require the payment of any state funds to [SUBDIVISION], [COUNSEL], or any other party.

Regarding Distribution and Use of
Settlement Funds – Walgreens Settlement
1. Introduction
Pursuant to the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, dated as of December 9, 2022, and any revision thereto (the “Walgreens Settlement Agreement”), including Section V and Exhibit O, the State of California proposes this agreement (the “CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement”) to govern the allocation, distribution, and use of Settlement Fund payments made to California pursuant to Sections IV and V of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not apply to payments made pursuant to Section IX of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to Exhibit O, Paragraph 4, of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, acceptance of this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement is a requirement to be an Initial Participating Subdivision.
2. Definitions
a) CA Participating Subdivision means a Participating Subdivision that is also (a) a Plaintiff Subdivision and/or (b) a Primary Subdivision with a population equal to or greater than 10,000. For the avoidance of doubt, eligible CA Participating Subdivisions are those California subdivisions listed in Exhibit C (excluding Litigating Special Districts) and/or Exhibit I to the Walgreens Settlement Agreement.
b) Allergan Settlement Agreement means the Allergan Settlement Agreement dated November 22, 2022, and any revision thereto.

e) Janssen Settlement Agreement means the Janssen Settlement Agreement dated July 21, 2021, and any revision thereto.
f) Teva Settlement Agreement means the Teva Settlement Agreement dated November 22, 2022, and any revision thereto.

2 Pleasant Valley School District Board, and LA Care Health Plan. i) Plaintiff Subdivision means a Subdivision located in California, other than a CA Litigating Special District, that filed a lawsuit, on behalf of the Subdivision and/or through an official of the Subdivision on behalf of the People of the State of California, against one or more Opioid Defendants prior to October 1, 2020. j) Opioid Defendant means any defendant (including but not limited to Walgreen Co., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Allergan Finance, LLC, Allergan Limited, CVS Health Corporation, CVS Pharmacy, Inc., Walmart Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Purdue Pharma L.P., Cardinal Health, Inc., AmerisourceBergen Corporation, and McKesson Corporation) named in a lawsuit seeking damages, abatement, or other remedies related to or caused by the opioid public health crisis in any lawsuit brought by any state or local government on or before October 1, 2020.
3. General Terms
This agreement is subject to the requirements of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, as well as applicable law, and the Walgreens Settlement Agreement governs over any inconsistent provision of this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement. Terms used in this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement have the same meaning as in the Walgreens Settlement Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
Pursuant to Section V(D)(1) of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, (a) all Settlement Fund payments will be used for Opioid Remediation, except as allowed by Section V(B)(2) of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement; and (b) at least seventy percent (70%) of Settlement Fund payment amounts will be used solely for future Opioid Remediation.
4. State Allocation
The Settlement Fund payments to California,1pursuant to the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, shall be allocated as follows: 15% to the State Fund; 70% to the Abatement Accounts Fund; and 15% to the Subdivision Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, all funds allocated to California from the Settlement Fund shall be combined pursuant to this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement, and 15% of that total shall be allocated to the State of California (the “State of California Allocation”), 70% to the California Abatement Accounts Fund (“CA Abatement Accounts Fund”), and 15% to the California Subdivision Fund (“CA Subdivision Fund”). 1 For purposes of clarity, use of the term “California” refers to the geographic territory of California and the state and its local governments therein. The term “State” or “State of California” refers to the State of California as a governmental unit.

3 A. State of California Allocation
Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the State and used by the State for future Opioid Remediation.
B. CA Abatement Accounts Fund
i. Allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) Seventy percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. The funds in the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be allocated based on the allocation model developed in connection with the proposed negotiating class in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804), as adjusted to reflect only those cities and counties that are eligible, based on population or litigation status, to become a CA Participating Subdivision. The percentage from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund allocated to each CA Participating Subdivision is set forth in Appendix 1 in the column entitled abatement percentage (the “Local Allocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, CA Litigating Special Districts and California towns, cities, and counties with a population less than 10,000 are not eligible to receive an allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds.
b) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a county, or a city and county, will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision, and will receive payments as provided in the Walgreens Settlement Agreement. c) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a city will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision. The Local Allocation share for a city that is a CA Participating Subdivision will be paid to the county in which the city is located, rather than to the city, so long as: (a) the county is a CA Participating Subdivision, and (b) the city has not advised the Settlement Fund Administrator that it requests direct payment at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. A Local Allocation share allocated to a city but paid to a county is not required to be spent exclusively for abatement activities in that city, but will become part of the county’s share of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds, which will be used in accordance with Section 4.B.ii (Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds) and reported on in accordance with Section 4.B.iii (CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight).
d) A city within a county that is a CA Participating Subdivision may opt in or out of direct payment at any time, and it may also elect direct payment of only a portion of its share, with the remainder going to the county, by providing notice to the Settlement Fund Administrator at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. For purposes of this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement, the Cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Jose and Eureka will be deemed to have elected direct payment if they become Participating Subdivisions.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 190
4 e) The State will receive the Local Allocation share of any payment to the Settlement Fund that is attributable to a county or city that is eligible to become a CA Participating Subdivision, but that has not, as of the date of that payment to the Settlement Fund, become a Participating Subdivision.
f) Funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision, and not expended or encumbered within five years of receipt and in accordance with the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement shall be transferred to the State; provided however, that CA Participating Subdivisions have seven years to expend or encumber CA Abatement Accounts Funds designated to support capital outlay projects before they must be transferred to the State. This provision shall not apply to the Cost Reimbursement Funds, which shall be controlled by Appendix 2.
ii. Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) The CA Abatement Accounts Funds will be used for future Opioid Remediation in one or more of the areas described in the List of Opioid Remediation Uses, which is Exhibit E to the Walgreens Settlement Agreement.
b) In addition to this requirement, no less than 50% of the funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision from the Abatement Accounts Fund in each calendar year will be used for one or more of the following High Impact Abatement Activities:
(1) the provision of matching funds or operating costs for substance use disorder facilities within the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program; (2) creating new or expanded Substance Use Disorder (“SUD”) treatment infrastructure; (3) addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by SUD;
(4) diversion of people with SUD from the justice system into treatment, including by providing training and resources to first and early responders (sworn and non-sworn) and implementing best practices for outreach, diversion and deflection, employability, restorative justice, and harm reduction; and/or (5) interventions to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth. c) The California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) may add to this list (but not delete from it) by designating additional High Impact Abatement Activities. DHCS will make reasonable efforts to consult with stakeholders, including the CA Participating Subdivisions, before adding additional High Impact Abatement Activities to this list.
d) For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the requirements of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and applicable law, CA Participating Subdivisions may form agreements or
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 191
5 ventures, or otherwise work in collaboration with, federal, state, local, tribal or private sector entities in pursuing Opioid Remediation activities funded from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. Further, provided that all CA Abatement Accounts Funds are used for Opioid Remediation consistent with the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement, a county and any cities or towns within the county may agree to reallocate their respective shares of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds among themselves, provided that any direct distribution may only be to a CA Participating Subdivision and any CA Participating Subdivision must agree to their share being reallocated.
iii. CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight
a) Pursuant to Section 5 below, CA Participating Subdivisions receiving settlement funds must prepare and file reports annually regarding the use of those funds. DHCS may regularly review the reports prepared by CA Participating Subdivisions about the use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds for compliance with the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement.
b) If DHCS determines that a CA Participating Subdivision’s use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds is inconsistent with the Walgreens Settlement Agreement or this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement, whether through review of reports or information from any other sources, DHCS shall send a request to meet and confer with the CA Participating Subdivision. The parties shall meet and confer in an effort to resolve the concern.
c) If the parties are unable to reach a resolution, DHCS may conduct an audit of the Subdivision’s use of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds within one year of the request to meet and confer, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to extend the meet and confer time frame.
d) If the concern still cannot be resolved, the State may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to resolve the concern or otherwise enforce the requirements of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement or this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement. However, in no case shall any audit be conducted, or motion be brought, as to a specific expenditure of funds, more than five years after the date on which the expenditure of the funds was reported to DHCS, in accordance with this agreement.

6 C. CA Subdivision Fund
i. Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Subdivision Fund. All funds in the CA Subdivision Fund will be allocated among the Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions. The funds will be used, subject to any limits imposed by the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement, to fund future Opioid Remediation and reimburse past opioid-related expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation, and to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Special Master as set forth in Appendix 2.
The CA Subdivision Funds will be allocated as follows:
a) First, funds in the CA Subdivision Fund shall be used to pay the Special Master’s reasonable fees and expenses in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document;
b) Second, funds will be allocated to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions that have been awarded Costs, as defined by and in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document. c) Funds remaining in the CA Subdivision Fund, which shall consist of no less than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year pursuant to Appendix 2, Section 2.c.v, will be distributed to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Initial Participating Subdivisions, in relative proportion to the Local Allocation. These funds shall be used to fund future opioid-related projects and to reimburse past opioid-related expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation against any Opioid Defendant.
D. Provision for State Back-Stop Agreement
On August 6, 2021, Judge Dan Polster of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, issued an order (ECF Docket Number 3814) (“MDL Fees Order”) in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804) “cap[ping] all applicable contingent fee agreements at 15%.” Private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions should seek its contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds under the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, and, if applicable, the Teva Settlement Agreement, Allergan Settlement Agreement, CVS Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, and Walmart Settlement Agreement.
A Plaintiff Subdivision may separately agree to use its share of the CA Subdivision Fund to pay for fees or costs incurred by its contingency-fee counsel (“State Back-Stop Agreement”), pursuant to Exhibit R, section I(Y), of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and the MDL Fees Order, so long as such contingency fees do not exceed a total contingency fee of 15% of the total gross recovery of the Plaintiff Subdivision pursuant to the Walgreens Settlement, inclusive of contingency fees from the national Attorney Fee Fund and this State Back-Stop Agreement.
Before seeking fees or litigation costs and expenses from a State Back-Stop Agreement, private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions must first seek contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds created under the Walgreens Settlement Agreement. Further, DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 193
7 private counsel may only seek reimbursement for litigation fees and costs that have not previously been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
To effectuate a State Back-Stop Agreement pursuant to this section, an agreement in the form of Appendix 3 may be entered into by a Plaintiff Subdivision, private counsel, and the California Office of the Attorney General. The California Office of the Attorney General shall, upon the request of a Plaintiff Subdivision, execute any agreement executed by a Plaintiff Subdivision and its private counsel if it is in the form of Appendix 3. The California Office of the Attorney General will also consider requests from Plaintiff Subdivisions to execute and enter into agreements presented in other forms.
For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not require a Plaintiff Subdivision to request or enter into a State Back-Stop Agreement, and no State Back-Stop Agreement shall impose any duty or obligation on the State of California or any of its agencies or officers, including without limitation the Attorney General.
5. State and Subdivision Reporting
a) DHCS will prepare an annual written report regarding the State’s use of funds from the settlement until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will be made publicly available on the DHCS web site.
b) Each CA Participating Subdivision that receives payments of funds from the settlement will prepare written reports at least annually regarding the use of those funds, until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will also include a certification that all funds that the CA Participating Subdivision has received through the settlement have been used in compliance with the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement. The report will be in a form reasonably determined by DHCS. Prior to specifying the form of the report DHCS will confer with representatives of the Plaintiff Subdivisions.
c) The State and all CA Participating Subdivisions receiving CA Abatement Accounts Funds will track all deposits and expenditures. Each such subdivision is responsible solely for the CA Abatement Accounts Funds it receives. A county is not responsible for oversight, reporting, or monitoring of CA Abatement Accounts Funds received by a city within that county that receives direct payment. Unless otherwise exempt, Subdivisions’ expenditures and uses of CA Abatement Accounts Funds and other Settlement Funds will be subject to the normal budgetary and expenditure process of the Subdivision. d) Each Plaintiff Subdivision receiving CA Subdivision Funds will track all deposits and expenditures, as required by the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement. Among other things, Plaintiff Subdivisions using monies from the CA Subdivision Fund for purposes that do not qualify as Opioid Remediation must identify and include in their annual report, the amount and how such funds were used, including if used to pay attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, or litigation costs. Pursuant to Section V(B)(2) of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, such information must also be reported to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Walgreens.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 194
8 e) In each year in which DHCS prepares an annual report DHCS will also host a meeting to discuss the annual report and the Opioid Remediation activities being carried out by the State and Participating Subdivisions.
6. Miscellaneous
a) The State or any CA Participating Subdivision may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to enforce the requirements of this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement. Before filing such a motion or action the State will meet and confer with any CA Participating Subdivision that is the subject of the anticipated motion or action, and vice versa.
b) Except as provided in the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, this CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement is not enforceable by any party other than the State and the CA Participating Subdivisions. It does not confer any rights or remedies upon, and shall not be enforceable by, any third party.
c) Except as provided in the CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement, if any provision of this agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement, or the application of such provision to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each other provision of this agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. d) Except as provided in the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, this agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of California.

APPENDIX 2
Cost Reimbursement Procedure
1. Additional defined terms:
a) Costs means the reasonable amounts paid for the attorney and other City Attorney and County Counsel staff time for individuals employed by a Plaintiff Subdivision at the contractual rate, inclusive of benefits and overhead, together with amounts paid for court reporters, experts, copying, electronic research, travel, vendors, and the like, which were not previously reimbursed and which were paid or incurred (i) prior to December 31, 2022 in litigation against any Opioid Defendant and/or (ii) in negotiating and drafting any CA Allocation Agreement(s) concerning a settlement with any Opioid Defendant(s).
Costs does not include attorneys’ fees, costs, or expenses incurred by private contingency fee counsel. No part of the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be used to reimburse Costs.
b) First Claims Date means October 1, 2023 or when all applications for reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, Section XI and Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, or Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, have been finally determined under the provisions of those agreements, whichever comes first.
c) Special Master means a retired judicial officer or former public lawyer, not presently employed or retained by a Plaintiff Subdivision, who will aggregate, review, and determine the reasonable Costs to be awarded to each Plaintiff Subdivision that submits a claim for reimbursement of Costs. The Special Master will be selected by a majority vote of the votes cast by Plaintiff Subdivisions, with each such subdivision having one vote. d) Plaintiff Subdivision Committee means the committee of Plaintiff Subdivisions that will review and approve the invoices submitted by the Special Master reflecting his or her reasonable time and expenses.
2. Cost Reimbursement to Plaintiff Subdivision
a) Purpose. Substantial resources have been expended to hold Opioid Defendants accountable for creating and profiting from the opioid crisis, and this effort has been a significant catalyst in creating National Opioid Settlements with various manufacturers, distributors, and chain pharmacies.
b) Claims Procedure.
i. If a Plaintiff Subdivision is eligible to seek reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 213

Settlement Agreement, Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, Section X or Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, or Section XI or Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, it must first make a timely application for reimbursement from such funds. To allow sufficient time for determination of those applications, no claim for Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund under this Agreement may be made before the First Claims Date.
ii. A Plaintiff Subdivision that wishes to be reimbursed from the CA Subdivision Fund must submit a claim to the Special Master no later than forty-five (45) days after the First Claims Date. The Special Master will then compile and redistribute the aggregated claim totals for each Plaintiff Subdivision via email to representatives of all the Plaintiff Subdivisions. A claim for attorney and staff time must list, for each attorney or staff member included in the claim, the following information: name, title, total hours claimed, hourly rate (including, if sought, benefits and share of overhead), and narrative summarizing the general nature of the work performed by the attorney or staff member. For reimbursement of “hard” costs, the subdivision may aggregate across a category (e.g., total for travel costs). It is the intention of the Plaintiff Subdivisions that submission of documents related to reimbursement of Costs does not waive any attorney-client privilege or exemptions to the California Public Records Act.
iii. The Special Master may request, at his or her sole option, additional documents or details to assist in the final award of Costs.
iv. The Special Master will review claims for reasonableness and will notify each Plaintiff Subdivision of the final determination of its claim, and will provide a list of all final awards to all Plaintiff Subdivisions by email or, upon request, via First Class U.S. Mail. Any Plaintiff Subdivision may ask the Special Master to reconsider any final award within twenty-one (21) days. The Special Master will make a final determination on any such reconsideration request within thirty (30) days of receipt.
v. Any decision of the Special Master is final and binding, and will be considered under the California Arbitration Act, Code of Civil Procedure section 1280 et seq. as a final arbitration award. Nothing in this agreement is intended to expand the scope of judicial review of the final award for errors of fact or law, and the Parties agree that they may only seek to vacate the award if clear and convincing evidence demonstrates one of the factors set forth in Code of Civil Procedure, section 1286.2, subdivision (a). Plaintiff Subdivisions will have fourteen (14) days after all final awards are made, together with any final determination of a request for DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 214

reconsideration, to seek review in the Superior Court of California, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 1285, where the State has filed its Consent Judgment. vi. The Special Master will prepare a report of Costs that includes his or her fees and expenses at least ninety (90) days before the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Special Master’s preparation of a report of Costs does not discharge a Plaintiff Subdivision’s reporting requirement under Section V(B)(2) of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement.
vii. A member of the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee, which is a CA Participating Subdivision, will submit to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Walgreens a report of the fees and expenses incurred by the Special Master pursuant to Section V(B)(2) of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement.
c) Claims Priority and Limitation.
i. The Special Master will submit invoices for compensation of reasonable fees and expenses to the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will promptly review and, if reasonable, approve the Special Master’s invoice for compensation. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will submit approved invoices to the Settlement Fund Administrator for payment. The Special Master’s approved invoices have priority and will be paid first from the CA Subdivision Fund before any award of Costs, subject to the limitation in Section
2.c.v below.
ii. Final Awards of Costs that do not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid next in priority after the Special Master’s approved invoices.
iii. Final Awards of Costs in excess of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid proportionally from the funds remaining in that year’s Annual Payment. iv. Any claim for Costs that is not paid in full will be allocated against the next year’s distribution from the CA Subdivision Fund, until all approved claims for Costs are paid in full.
v. In no event will more than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year be used to pay Costs or the Special Master’s approved invoices. vi. In no event shall more than $28 million of the total CA Subdivision Funds paid pursuant to the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, Teva Settlement Agreement, Allergan Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, CVS Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, and the Walmart Settlement Agreement be used to pay Costs.

d) Collateral Source Payments and Third-Party Settlement. i. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision is awarded compensation, in whole or in part, by any source of funds created as a result of litigation against an Opioid Defendant for its reasonable Costs, it will reduce its claim for Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund by that amount. If a Plaintiff Subdivision has already received a final award of Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund, it will repay the fund up to the prior award of Costs via a payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator or notify the Settlement Fund Administrator that its allocation from the next and subsequent Annual Payments should be reduced accordingly. If the Plaintiff Subdivision is repaying any prior award of Costs, that repayment will occur as soon as is feasible after the Plaintiff Subdivision’s receipt of Cost funds from the collateral source, but no more than 90 days after its receipt from the collateral source. The Settlement Fund Administrator will add any repaid Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund. Any Plaintiff Subdivision that has submitted for reimbursement to any national fund and has not received a final determination by the First Claims Date may request that the settlement administrator withhold some or all of its payment from the CA Subdivision Fund in order to avoid repayment.
ii. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision reaches a monetary settlement or compromise against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement, the monetary portion of such settlement, net of fees paid to outside contingency fee counsel and of funds earmarked strictly for abatement, will be credited against its Costs and the subdivision will be ineligible to recover those credited Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund. Plaintiff Subdivisions negotiating monetary settlements or compromises against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement will negotiate for funds to repay any Costs it previously received from the CA Subdivision Fund or for Costs it otherwise might be eligible to claim from the CA Subdivision Fund. If such a settlement is paid after all final approved claims for Costs by all Plaintiff Subdivisions are satisfied in full, the settling subdivision will reimburse the CA Subdivision Fund in that amount by making payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator to add to the CA Subdivision Fund in a manner consistent with the repayments described in section 2.d.i above.

1 APPENDIX 3
CALIFORNIA-SUBDIVISION BACKSTOP AGREEMENT
On August 6, 2021, Judge Polster of the US District Court for the Northern District of Ohio issued an Order (the Order), docket number 3814, in In Re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL 2804, addressing contingent attorney fee contracts between political subdivisions eligible to participate in the Walgreens Settlement and their counsel.
In light of the Order, and at the request of [SUBDIVISION], the [SUBDIVISION], its counsel [COUNSEL], and the California Attorney General, on behalf of the State of California, are entering into this California-Subdivision Backstop Agreement (Backstop Agreement). [SUBDIVISION] and [COUNSEL] intend this Backstop Agreement to constitute a State BackStop Agreement as that term is used in the Order and in Exhibit R (Agreement on Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses) of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to this Backstop Agreement, [SUBDIVISION] may, subject to the limitations of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement and CA Walgreens Allocation Agreement, as well as any other limitations imposed by law, use funds that it receives from the Walgreens Settlement CA Subdivision Fund to pay a contingent fee to [COUNSEL]. Any such payment from [SUBDIVISION] to [COUNSEL], together with any contingency fees that [COUNSEL] may receive from the national Attorney Fee Fund, will not exceed a total contingency fee of [PERCENTAGE NOT TO EXCEED 15%] of the total gross recovery of [SUBDIVISION] from the Walgreens Settlement.
[COUNSEL] certify that they first sought fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund created under the Walgreens Settlement Agreement before seeking or accepting payment under this backstop agreement. [COUNSEL] further certify that they are not seeking and will not accept payment under this backstop agreement of any litigation fees or costs that have been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
The Attorney General is executing this agreement solely because the definition of “State BackStop Agreement” in Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement requires such agreements to be between “a Settling State” and private counsel for a participating subdivision. Neither the California Attorney General nor the State of California have any obligations under this Backstop Agreement, and this Backstop Agreement does not require the payment of any state funds to [SUBDIVISION], [COUNSEL], or any other party.

Regarding Distribution and Use of
Settlement Funds – Walmart Settlement
1. Introduction
Pursuant to the Walmart Settlement Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2022, and any revision thereto (the “Walmart Settlement Agreement”), including Section V and Exhibit O, the State of California proposes this agreement (the “CA Walmart Allocation Agreement”) to govern the allocation, distribution, and use of Settlement Fund payments made to California pursuant to Sections IV and V of the Walmart Settlement Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not apply to payments made pursuant to Sections VIII or IX of the Walmart Settlement Agreement.

2. Definitions
a) CA Participating Subdivision means a Participating Subdivision that is also (a) a Plaintiff Subdivision and/or (b) a Primary Subdivision with a population equal to or greater than 10,000. For the avoidance of doubt, eligible CA Participating Subdivisions are those California subdivisions listed in Exhibit C (excluding Litigating Special Districts) and/or Exhibit I to the Walmart Settlement Agreement. b) Allergan Settlement Agreement means the Allergan Settlement Agreement dated November 22, 2022, and any revision thereto.

2 i) Plaintiff Subdivision means a Subdivision located in California, other than a CA Litigating Special District, that filed a lawsuit, on behalf of the Subdivision and/or through an official of the Subdivision on behalf of the People of the State of California, against one or more Opioid Defendants prior to October 1, 2020. j) Opioid Defendant means any defendant (including but not limited to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Allergan Finance, LLC, Allergan Limited, CVS Health Corporation, CVS Pharmacy, Inc., Walgreen Co., Walmart Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Purdue Pharma L.P., Cardinal Health, Inc., AmerisourceBergen Corporation, and McKesson Corporation) named in a lawsuit seeking damages, abatement, or other remedies related to or caused by the opioid public health crisis in any lawsuit brought by any state or local government on or before October 1, 2020.
3. General Terms
This agreement is subject to the requirements of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, as well as applicable law, and the Walmart Settlement Agreement governs over any inconsistent provision of this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement. Terms used in this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement have the same meaning as in the Walmart Settlement Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
Pursuant to Section V(D)(1) of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, (a) all Settlement Fund payments will be used for Opioid Remediation, except as allowed by Section V(B)(2) of the Walmart Settlement Agreement; and (b) at least seventy percent (70%) of Settlement Fund payment amounts will be used solely for future Opioid Remediation.
4. State Allocation
The Settlement Fund payments to California,1 pursuant to the Walmart Settlement Agreement, shall be allocated as follows: 15% to the State Fund; 70% to the Abatement Accounts Fund; and 15% to the Subdivision Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, all funds allocated to California from the Settlement Fund shall be combined pursuant to this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement, and 15% of that total shall be allocated to the State of California (the “State of California Allocation”), 70% to the California Abatement Accounts Fund (“CA Abatement Accounts Fund”), and 15% to the California Subdivision Fund (“CA Subdivision Fund”). 1 For purposes of clarity, use of the term “California” refers to the geographic territory of California and the state and its local governments therein. The term “State” or “State of California” refers to the State of California as a governmental unit.

3 A. State of California Allocation
Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the State and used by the State for future Opioid Remediation.
B. CA Abatement Accounts Fund
i. Allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) Seventy percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Abatement Accounts Fund. The funds in the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be allocated based on the allocation model developed in connection with the proposed negotiating class in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804), as adjusted to reflect only those cities and counties that are eligible, based on population or litigation status, to become a CA Participating Subdivision. The percentage from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund allocated to each CA Participating Subdivision is set forth in Appendix 1 in the column entitled abatement percentage (the “Local Allocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, CA Litigating Special Districts and California towns, cities, and counties with a population less than 10,000 are not eligible to receive an allocation of CA Abatement Accounts Funds.
b) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a county, or a city and county, will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision, and will receive payments as provided in the Walmart Settlement Agreement. c) A CA Participating Subdivision that is a city will be allocated its Local Allocation share as of the date on which it becomes a Participating Subdivision. The Local Allocation share for a city that is a CA Participating Subdivision will be paid to the county in which the city is located, rather than to the city, so long as: (a) the county is a CA Participating Subdivision, and (b) the city has not advised the Settlement Fund Administrator that it requests direct payment at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. A Local Allocation share allocated to a city but paid to a county is not required to be spent exclusively for abatement activities in that city, but will become part of the county’s share of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds, which will be used in accordance with Section 4.B.ii (Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds) and reported on in accordance with Section 4.B.iii (CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight).
d) A city within a county that is a CA Participating Subdivision may opt in or out of direct payment at any time, and it may also elect direct payment of only a portion of its share, with the remainder going to the county, by providing notice to the Settlement Fund Administrator at least 60 days prior to a Payment Date. For purposes of this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement, the Cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Jose and Eureka will be deemed to have elected direct payment if they become Participating Subdivisions.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 220
4 e) The State will receive the Local Allocation share of any payment to the Settlement Fund that is attributable to a county or city that is eligible to become a CA Participating Subdivision, but that has not, as of the date of that payment to the Settlement Fund, become a Participating Subdivision.
f) Funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision, and not expended or encumbered within five years of receipt and in accordance with the Walmart Settlement Agreement and this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement shall be transferred to the State; provided however, that CA Participating Subdivisions have seven years to expend or encumber CA Abatement Accounts Funds designated to support capital outlay projects before they must be transferred to the State. This provision shall not apply to the Cost Reimbursement Funds, which shall be controlled by Appendix 2.
ii. Use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds
a) The CA Abatement Accounts Funds will be used for future Opioid Remediation in one or more of the areas described in the List of Opioid Remediation Uses, which is Exhibit E to the Walmart Settlement Agreement.
b) In addition to this requirement, no less than 50% of the funds received by a CA Participating Subdivision from the Abatement Accounts Fund in each calendar year will be used for one or more of the following High Impact Abatement Activities:
(1) the provision of matching funds or operating costs for substance use disorder facilities within the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program; (2) creating new or expanded Substance Use Disorder (“SUD”) treatment infrastructure; (3) addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by SUD;
(4) diversion of people with SUD from the justice system into treatment, including by providing training and resources to first and early responders (sworn and non-sworn) and implementing best practices for outreach, diversion and deflection, employability, restorative justice, and harm reduction; and/or (5) interventions to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth. c) The California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) may add to this list (but not delete from it) by designating additional High Impact Abatement Activities. DHCS will make reasonable efforts to consult with stakeholders, including the CA Participating Subdivisions, before adding additional High Impact Abatement Activities to this list.
d) For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the requirements of the Walmart Settlement Agreement and applicable law, CA Participating Subdivisions may form agreements or ventures, or otherwise work in collaboration with, federal, state, local, tribal or private sector entities in pursuing Opioid Remediation activities funded from the CA Abatement DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 221
5 Accounts Fund. Further, provided that all CA Abatement Accounts Funds are used for Opioid Remediation consistent with the Walmart Settlement Agreement and this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement, a county and any cities or towns within the county may agree to reallocate their respective shares of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds among themselves, provided that any direct distribution may only be to a CA Participating Subdivision and any CA Participating Subdivision must agree to their share being reallocated.
iii. CA Abatement Accounts Fund Oversight
a) Pursuant to Section 5 below, CA Participating Subdivisions receiving settlement funds must prepare and file reports annually regarding the use of those funds. DHCS may regularly review the reports prepared by CA Participating Subdivisions about the use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds for compliance with the Walmart Settlement Agreement and this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement.
b) If DHCS determines that a CA Participating Subdivision’s use of CA Abatement Accounts Funds is inconsistent with the Walmart Settlement Agreement or this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement, whether through review of reports or information from any other sources, DHCS shall send a request to meet and confer with the CA Participating Subdivision. The parties shall meet and confer in an effort to resolve the concern.
c) If the parties are unable to reach a resolution, DHCS may conduct an audit of the Subdivision’s use of the CA Abatement Accounts Funds within one year of the request to meet and confer, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to extend the meet and confer time frame.
d) If the concern still cannot be resolved, the State may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to resolve the concern or otherwise enforce the requirements of the Walmart Settlement Agreement or this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement. However, in no case shall any audit be conducted, or motion be brought, as to a specific expenditure of funds, more than five years after the date on which the expenditure of the funds was reported to DHCS, in accordance with this agreement.
e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not limit the statutory or constitutional authority of any state or local agency or official to conduct audits, investigations, or other oversight activities, or to pursue administrative, civil, or criminal enforcement actions.

6 C. CA Subdivision Fund
i. Fifteen percent of the total Settlement Fund payments will be allocated to the CA Subdivision Fund. All funds in the CA Subdivision Fund will be allocated among the Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Participating Subdivisions. The funds will be used, subject to any limits imposed by the Walmart Settlement Agreement and this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement, to fund future Opioid Remediation and reimburse past opioidrelated expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation, and to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Special Master as set forth in Appendix 2.
The CA Subdivision Funds will be allocated as follows:
a) First, funds in the CA Subdivision Fund shall be used to pay the Special Master’s reasonable fees and expenses in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document;
b) Second, funds will be allocated to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Participating Subdivisions that have been awarded Costs, as defined by and in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Appendix 2 to this document. c) Funds remaining in the CA Subdivision Fund, which shall consist of no less than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year pursuant to Appendix 2, Section 2.c.v, will be distributed to Plaintiff Subdivisions that are Participating Subdivisions, in relative proportion to the Local Allocation. These funds shall be used to fund future opioid-related projects and to reimburse past opioid-related expenses, which may include fees and expenses related to litigation against any Opioid Defendant.
D. Provision for State Back-Stop Agreement
On August 6, 2021, Judge Dan Polster of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, issued an order (ECF Docket Number 3814) (“MDL Fees Order”) in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804) “cap[ping] all applicable contingent fee agreements at 15%.” Private counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions should seek its contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds under the Walmart Settlement Agreement, and, if applicable, the Allergan Settlement Agreement, CVS Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, Teva Settlement Agreement, and Walgreens Settlement Agreement.
A Plaintiff Subdivision may separately agree to use its share of the CA Subdivision Fund to pay for fees or costs incurred by its contingency-fee counsel (“State Back-Stop Agreement”), pursuant to Exhibit R, section I(W), of the Walmart Settlement Agreement and the MDL Fees Order, so long as such contingency fees do not exceed a total contingency fee of 15% of the total gross recovery of the Plaintiff Subdivision pursuant to the Walmart Settlement, inclusive of contingency fees from the national Attorney Fee Fund and this State Back-Stop Agreement.
Before seeking fees or litigation costs and expenses from a State Back-Stop Agreement, private DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 223
7 counsel representing Plaintiff Subdivisions must first seek contingency fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund or Cost Funds created under the Walmart Settlement Agreement. Further, private counsel may only seek reimbursement for litigation fees and costs that have not previously been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
To effectuate a State Back-Stop Agreement pursuant to this section, an agreement in the form of Appendix 3 may be entered into by a Plaintiff Subdivision, private counsel, and the California Office of the Attorney General. The California Office of the Attorney General shall, upon the request of a Plaintiff Subdivision, execute any agreement executed by a Plaintiff Subdivision and its private counsel if it is in the form of Appendix 3. The California Office of the Attorney General will also consider requests from Plaintiff Subdivisions to execute and enter into agreements presented in other forms.
For the avoidance of doubt, this agreement does not require a Plaintiff Subdivision to request or enter into a State Back-Stop Agreement, and no State Back-Stop Agreement shall impose any duty or obligation on the State of California or any of its agencies or officers, including without limitation the Attorney General.
5. State and Subdivision Reporting
a) DHCS will prepare an annual written report regarding the State’s use of funds from the settlement until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will be made publicly available on the DHCS web site.
b) Each CA Participating Subdivision that receives payments of funds from the settlement will prepare written reports at least annually regarding the use of those funds, until those funds are fully expended and for one year thereafter. These reports will also include a certification that all funds that the CA Participating Subdivision has received through the settlement have been used in compliance with the Walmart Settlement Agreement and this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement. The report will be in a form reasonably determined by DHCS. Prior to specifying the form of the report DHCS will confer with representatives of the Plaintiff Subdivisions.
c) The State and all CA Participating Subdivisions receiving CA Abatement Accounts Funds will track all deposits and expenditures. Each such subdivision is responsible solely for the CA Abatement Accounts Funds it receives. A county is not responsible for oversight, reporting, or monitoring of CA Abatement Accounts Funds received by a city within that county that receives direct payment. Unless otherwise exempt, Subdivisions’ expenditures and uses of CA Abatement Accounts Funds and other Settlement Funds will be subject to the normal budgetary and expenditure process of the Subdivision. d) Each Plaintiff Subdivision receiving CA Subdivision Funds will track all deposits and expenditures, as required by the Walmart Settlement Agreement and this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement. Among other things, Plaintiff Subdivisions using monies from the CA Subdivision Fund for purposes that do not qualify as Opioid Remediation must identify and include in their annual report, the amount and how such funds were used, including if used to pay attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, or litigation costs. Pursuant to Section V(B)(2) of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, such information must also be reported to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Walmart.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 224
8 e) In each year in which DHCS prepares an annual report DHCS will also host a meeting to discuss the annual report and the Opioid Remediation activities being carried out by the State and Participating Subdivisions.
6. Miscellaneous
a) The State or any CA Participating Subdivision may bring a motion or action in the court where the State has filed its Consent Judgment to enforce the requirements of this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement. Before filing such a motion or action the State will meet and confer with any CA Participating Subdivision that is the subject of the anticipated motion or action, and vice versa.
b) Except as provided in the Walmart Settlement Agreement, this CA Walmart Allocation Agreement is not enforceable by any party other than the State and the CA Participating Subdivisions. It does not confer any rights or remedies upon, and shall not be enforceable by, any third party.
c) Except as provided in the CA Walmart Allocation Agreement, if any provision of this agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement, or the application of such provision to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each other provision of this agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. d) Except as provided in the Walmart Settlement Agreement, this agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of California.

APPENDIX 2
Cost Reimbursement Procedure
1. Additional defined terms:
a) Costs means the reasonable amounts paid for the attorney and other City Attorney and County Counsel staff time for individuals employed by a Plaintiff Subdivision at the contractual rate, inclusive of benefits and overhead, together with amounts paid for court reporters, experts, copying, electronic research, travel, vendors, and the like, which were not previously reimbursed and which were paid or incurred (i) prior to December 31, 2022 in litigation against any Opioid Defendant and/or (ii) in negotiating and drafting any CA Allocation Agreement(s) concerning a settlement with any Opioid Defendant(s).
Costs does not include attorneys’ fees, costs, or expenses incurred by private contingency fee counsel. No part of the CA Abatement Accounts Fund will be used to reimburse Costs.
b) First Claims Date means October 1, 2023 or when all applications for reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in part, from funds available under Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, Section XI and Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, or Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, have been finally determined under the provisions of those agreements, whichever comes first. c) Special Master means a retired judicial officer or former public lawyer, not presently employed or retained by a Plaintiff Subdivision, who will aggregate, review, and determine the reasonable Costs to be awarded to each Plaintiff Subdivision that submits a claim for reimbursement of Costs. The Special Master will be selected by a majority vote of the votes cast by Plaintiff Subdivisions, with each such subdivision having one vote. d) Plaintiff Subdivision Committee means the committee of Plaintiff Subdivisions that will review and approve the invoices submitted by the Special Master reflecting his or her reasonable time and expenses.
2. Cost Reimbursement to Plaintiff Subdivision
a) Purpose. Substantial resources have been expended to hold Opioid Defendants accountable for creating and profiting from the opioid crisis, and this effort has been a significant catalyst in creating National Opioid Settlements with various manufacturers, distributors, and chain pharmacies.
b) Claims Procedure.
i. If a Plaintiff Subdivision is eligible to seek reimbursement of Costs, in whole or in DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 243

part, from funds available under Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement, Section XIV and Exhibit R of the Teva Settlement Agreement, Section XIII and Exhibit R of the Allergan Settlement Agreement, Section X and Exhibit R of the CVS Settlement Agreement, Section IX and Exhibit R of the Walgreens Settlement Agreement, Section X or Exhibit R of the Distributor Settlement Agreement, or Section XI or Exhibit R of the Janssen Settlement Agreement, it must first make a timely application for reimbursement from such funds. To allow sufficient time for determination of those applications, no claim for Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund under this Agreement may be made before the First Claims Date.
ii. A Plaintiff Subdivision that wishes to be reimbursed from the CA Subdivision Fund must submit a claim to the Special Master no later than forty-five (45) days after the First Claims Date. The Special Master will then compile and redistribute the aggregated claim totals for each Plaintiff Subdivision via email to representatives of all the Plaintiff Subdivisions. A claim for attorney and staff time must list, for each attorney or staff member included in the claim, the following information: name, title, total hours claimed, hourly rate (including, if sought, benefits and share of overhead), and narrative summarizing the general nature of the work performed by the attorney or staff member. For reimbursement of “hard” costs, the subdivision may aggregate across a category (e.g., total for travel costs). It is the intention of the Plaintiff Subdivisions that submission of documents related to reimbursement of Costs does not waive any attorney-client privilege or exemptions to the California Public Records Act.
iii. The Special Master may request, at his or her sole option, additional documents or details to assist in the final award of Costs.
iv. The Special Master will review claims for reasonableness and will notify each Plaintiff Subdivision of the final determination of its claim, and will provide a list of all final awards to all Plaintiff Subdivisions by email or, upon request, via First Class U.S. Mail. Any Plaintiff Subdivision may ask the Special Master to reconsider any final award within twenty-one (21) days. The Special Master will make a final determination on any such reconsideration request within thirty (30) days of receipt.
v. Any decision of the Special Master is final and binding, and will be considered under the California Arbitration Act, Code of Civil Procedure section 1280 et seq. as a final arbitration award. Nothing in this agreement is intended to expand the scope of judicial review of the final award for errors of fact or law, and the Parties agree that they may only seek to vacate the award if clear and convincing evidence demonstrates one of the factors set forth in Code of Civil Procedure, section 1286.2, subdivision (a). Plaintiff Subdivisions will have fourteen (14) days after all final awards are made, together with any final determination of a request for DocuSign Envelope ID: 4AF94C58-5F24-4760-8B4D-B7E5D386BE35 April 4, 2023, Reg CC Mtg., Page # 244

reconsideration, to seek review in the Superior Court of California, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 1285, where the State has filed its Consent Judgment. vi. The Special Master will prepare a report of Costs that includes his or her fees and expenses at least ninety (90) days before the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Special Master’s preparation of a report of Costs does not discharge a Plaintiff Subdivision’s reporting requirement under Section V(B)(2) of the Walmart Settlement Agreement.
vii. A member of the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee, which is a CA Participating Subdivision, will submit to the Settlement Fund Administrator and Walmart a report of the fees and expenses incurred by the Special Master pursuant to Section V(B)(2) of the Walmart Settlement Agreement.
c) Claims Priority and Limitation.
i. The Special Master will submit invoices for compensation of reasonable fees and expenses to the Plaintiff Subdivision Committee no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Payment Date for each Annual Payment. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will promptly review and, if reasonable, approve the Special Master’s invoice for compensation. The Plaintiff Subdivision Committee will submit approved invoices to the Settlement Fund Administrator for payment. The Special Master’s approved invoices have priority and will be paid first from the CA Subdivision Fund before any award of Costs, subject to the limitation in Section
2.c.v below.
ii. Final Awards of Costs that do not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid next in priority after the Special Master’s approved invoices.
iii. Final Awards of Costs in excess of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) will be paid proportionally from the funds remaining in that year’s Annual Payment. iv. Any claim for Costs that is not paid in full will be allocated against the next year’s distribution from the CA Subdivision Fund, until all approved claims for Costs are paid in full.
v. In no event will more than 50% of the total CA Subdivision Fund received in any year be used to pay Costs or the Special Master’s approved invoices. vi. In no event shall more than $28 million of the total CA Subdivision Funds paid pursuant to the Walmart Settlement Agreement, Teva Settlement Agreement, Allergan Settlement Agreement, Distributor Settlement Agreement, CVS Settlement Agreement, Janssen Settlement Agreement, and the Walgreens Settlement Agreement be used to pay Costs.

d) Collateral Source Payments and Third-Party Settlement. i. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision is awarded compensation, in whole or in part, by any source of funds created as a result of litigation against an Opioid Defendant for its reasonable Costs, it will reduce its claim for Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund by that amount. If a Plaintiff Subdivision has already received a final award of Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund, it will repay the fund up to the prior award of Costs via a payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator or notify the Settlement Fund Administrator that its allocation from the next and subsequent Annual Payments should be reduced accordingly. If the Plaintiff Subdivision is repaying any prior award of Costs, that repayment will occur as soon as is feasible after the Plaintiff Subdivision’s receipt of Cost funds from the collateral source, but no more than 90 days after its receipt from the collateral source. The Settlement Fund Administrator will add any repaid Costs to the CA Subdivision Fund. Any Plaintiff Subdivision that has submitted for reimbursement to any national fund and has not received a final determination by the First Claims Date may request that the settlement administrator withhold some or all of its payment from the CA Subdivision Fund in order to avoid repayment.
ii. In the event a Plaintiff Subdivision reaches a monetary settlement or compromise against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement, the monetary portion of such settlement, net of fees paid to outside contingency fee counsel and of funds earmarked strictly for abatement, will be credited against its Costs and the subdivision will be ineligible to recover those credited Costs from the CA Subdivision Fund. Plaintiff Subdivisions negotiating monetary settlements or compromises against any Opioid Defendant outside of the National Opioid Settlement will negotiate for funds to repay any Costs it previously received from the CA Subdivision Fund or for Costs it otherwise might be eligible to claim from the CA Subdivision Fund. If such a settlement is paid after all final approved claims for Costs by all Plaintiff Subdivisions are satisfied in full, the settling subdivision will reimburse the CA Subdivision Fund in that amount by making payment to the Settlement Fund Administrator to add to the CA Subdivision Fund in a manner consistent with the repayments described in section 2.d.i above.

CALIFORNIA-SUBDIVISION BACKSTOP AGREEMENT
On August 6, 2021, Judge Polster of the US District Court for the Northern District of Ohio issued an Order (the Order), docket number 3814, in In Re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL 2804, addressing contingent attorney fee contracts between political subdivisions eligible to participate in the Walmart Settlement and their counsel.
In light of the Order, and at the request of [SUBDIVISION], the [SUBDIVISION], its counsel [COUNSEL], and the California Attorney General, on behalf of the State of California, are entering into this California-Subdivision Backstop Agreement (Backstop Agreement). [SUBDIVISION] and [COUNSEL] intend this Backstop Agreement to constitute a State BackStop Agreement as that term is used in the Order and in Exhibit R (Agreement on Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses) of the Walmart Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to this Backstop Agreement, [SUBDIVISION] may, subject to the limitations of the Walmart Settlement Agreement and CA Walmart Allocation Agreement, as well as any other limitations imposed by law, use funds that it receives from the Walmart Settlement CA Subdivision Fund to pay a contingent fee to [COUNSEL]. Any such payment from [SUBDIVISION] to [COUNSEL], together with any contingency fees that [COUNSEL] may receive from the national Attorney Fee Fund, will not exceed a total contingency fee of [PERCENTAGE NOT TO EXCEED 15%] of the total gross recovery of [SUBDIVISION] from the Walmart Settlement.
[COUNSEL] certify that they first sought fees and costs from the Attorney Fee Fund created under the Walmart Settlement Agreement before seeking or accepting payment under this backstop agreement. [COUNSEL] further certify that they are not seeking and will not accept payment under this backstop agreement of any litigation fees or costs that have been reimbursed through prior settlements or judgments.
The Attorney General is executing this agreement solely because the definition of “State BackStop Agreement” in Exhibit R of the Walmart Settlement Agreement requires such agreements to be between “a Settling State” and private counsel for a participating subdivision. Neither the California Attorney General nor the State of California have any obligations under this Backstop Agreement, and this Backstop Agreement does not require the payment of any state funds to [SUBDIVISION], [COUNSEL], or any other party.

In connection with the releases provided for in the Allergan Settlement, each Governmental Entity expressly waives, releases, and forever discharges any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States or other jurisdiction, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to § 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads:
General Release; extent. A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
A Releasor may hereafter discover facts other than or different from those which it knows, believes, or assumes to be true with respect to the Released Claims, but each Governmental Entity hereby expressly waives and fully, finally, and forever settles, releases and discharges, upon the Effective Date, any and all Released Claims that may exist as of such date but which Releasors do not know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence or through no fault whatsoever, and which, if known, would materially affect the Governmental Entities’ decision to participate in the Allergan Settlement.
12. Nothing herein is intended to modify in any way the terms of the Allergan Settlement, to which the Governmental Entity hereby agrees. To the extent this Settlement Participation Form is interpreted differently from the Allergan Settlement in any respect, the Allergan Settlement controls.
