Kozal is authorized and directed to execute five(5) Subdivision and Special District Settlement Participation Forms on behalf of the City of Elgin in connection with the National Opioids Settlements with Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens and Walmart, copies of which are attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. s/David J. Kaptain David J. Kaptain, Mayor Presented: April 12, 2023 Adopted: April 12, 2023 Vote: Yeas: 8 Nays: 0 Attest: s/Kimberly Dewis Kimberly Dewis, City Clerk DocuSign Envelope ID:88F67FF9-E69C-4B7A-9D39-57722A5C9203 New National Opioids Settlements: Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart Opioids Implementation Administrator ogioidsparticipation<c)rubris.com Elgin city, IL Reference Number: CL-384345 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 Illinois is participating in the following settlements: • Teva • Allergan • CVS • Walgreens • Walmart If a state does not participate in a particular Settlement, the subdivisions in that state are not eligible to participate in that Settlement. This electronic envelope contains: • Participation Forms for Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, including a release of any claims. • The Illinois Opioid Allocation Agreement The Participation Form 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. Based upon subdivision participation forms received on or before April 181", 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 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. DocuSign Envelope ID:88F67FF9-E69C-4B7A-9D39-57722A5C9203 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 counsel, your Attorney General's Office, and other contacts within your state. Monies coming to Illinois from the New National Opioid Settlements will be allocated in accordance with the Illinois Opioid Allocation Agreement, a copy of which is included with this packet for your reference. As stated above, even if your subdivision is listed in the Allocation Agreement as one eligible to receive a direct share of opioid settlement monies, you still must sign each of the Participation Forms for these five settlements in order to receive a direct distribution under each of the settlements. Additionally, please note that pursuant to Paragraphs 2.13 and 2.0 of the Illinois Opioid Allocation Agreement, when notified by the Illinois Attorney General that Illinois has reached a settlement with one or more Opioid Defendants, participating local governments shall release their claims against such Opioid Defendant(s). Information and documents regarding the New National Opioid Settlements can be found on the national settlement website at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/. This website will be supplemented as additional documents are created. How to return signed forms: There are three methods for returning the executed Participation Forms and any supporting documentation to the Implementation Administrator: (1) Electronic Signature via DocuSign: Executing the Participation Forms 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, 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. As with electronic signature, returning manually signed Participation Forms via DocuSign will associate your signed forms with your subdivision's records. DocuSign Envelope ID:88F67FF9-E69C-4B7A-9D39-57722A5C9203 (3) Manua/Signature returned via electronic mail: If your subdivision is unable to return executed Participation Forms using DocuSign, signed Participation Forms may be returned via electronic mail to opioidsparticipation(a)rubris.com. Please include the name, state, and reference ID of your subdivision in the body of the email and use the subject line Settlement Participation Forms - [Subdivision Name, Subdivision State] - [Reference ID]. Detailed instructions on how to sign and return the Participation Forms, including changing the authorized signer, can be found at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com. You may also contact opioidsparticipation(cbrubris.com. The sign-on period for subdivisions ends on April 18, 2023.

A Special Master shall be nominated by the majority of PLG votes, with each County PLG with a population often thousand or more residents and each other PLG with a population of thirty thousand or more residents receiving one vote for each ten thousand residents within its jurisdictional borders based upon the 2019 United States Census Population Estimate. The Special Master shall be nominated within sixty (60) days of the initial funding of the LG Recovery Fund. The person so nominated shall not be appointed Special Master unless he or she receives the written approval of the Attorney General. If the Attorney General does not approve the nomination, then the process shall repeat and the PLGs shall nominate another person to be Special Master, until a nomination is approved by the Attorney General. Such subsequent nomination shall occur within 30 days of the Attorney General declining to give written approval of the initially nominated Special Master. B. All costs associated with the work of the Special Master shall be paid from funds in the LG Recovery Fund prior to any distribution to counties that are PLGs or their counsel. C. The Special Master shall direct the Settlement Administrator and administer the LG Recovery Fund to ensure that all distributions from the LG Recovery Fund to PLGs shall be made in accordance with the relative percentages set forth in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2. except that any distribution to any county who is a Non-Participating Local Governmental Unit(the "NP-LGs") shall be discounted by two-fifths(2/5) and such discounted amount shall be added to the pool of distributions payable to the Participating Local Governmental Units (the "PLGs") in accordance with the same percentages set forth in Exhibit A-2. D. For any National Opioid Multistate Settlement with an Opioid Defendant,each such LPLG authorizes and agrees that the Special Master shall direct the Settlement Administrator to pay their LPLG- Counsel from its individual distributions from the LG Recovery Fund in accordance with the fee agreements entered into between the LPLG and LPLG-Counsel. E. For any National Opioid Multistate Settlement for which the Attorney General requests PLGs release their claims, the Special Master shall have the discretion to assess common benefit attorneys' fees against distributions made to any county which is a PLG and which is not represented by LPLG- Counsel,provided any such common benefit attorneys' fees, if any, shall be assessed on no more than forty percent (40.0%) of the total distribution made to any county PLG not represented by LPLG- Counsel, and under no circumstances shall the common benefit fee assessed by the Special Master exceed 25%. The Special Master shall be given broad discretion to assess and apportion common benefit attorneys' fees and,absent fraud or gross misconduct,the decisions of the Special Master shall be final, binding, and not appealable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section requires the recovery by LPLG-Counsel of money in excess of their fee agreements if LPLG-Counsel receive payments from a national attorneys' fees fund or otherwise not directly from the LG Recovery Fund. In the event that a common benefit fee is assessed against a county PLG not represented by LPLG- Page 110—ILLINOIS OPIOID ALLOCATION AGREEMENT DocuSign Envelope ID:88F67FF9-E69C-4B7A-9D39-57722A5C9203 Counsel,the Special Master is directed to notify the Settlement Administrator of any such assessment.

The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement will apply to all National Multistate Opioid Settlement agreements which establish a multistate fund for the payment of attorney's fees and expenses (a "Multistate Contingency Fee Fund") but that payments to LPLG-Counsel from such funds will not be sufficient to pay the entirety of the fees and expenses incurred by contingency-fee counsel who have been retained by LPLGs. Therefore, consistent with Exhibit R, section I(R) of the National Multistate Opioid Settlement agreement entered into between three pharmaceutical distributors, namely, McKesson Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc., and AmerisourseBergen Corporation (the "Distributor Settlement Agreement"), the Parties agree to this Backstop Agreement. Pursuant to this Backstop Agreement, [LPLG] may, subject to the limitations of any National Multistate Opioid Settlement, as well as any other limitations imposed by law, use funds that it receives from a National Multistate Opioid Settlement to pay a contingent fee to [COUNSEL]. Any such payment from [LPLG] to [COUNSEL],together with any contingency fees that [COUNSEL] may receive from the Multistate Contingency Fee Fund,will not exceed a total contingency fee of[PERCENTAGE NOT TO EXCEED 25%] of the total gross recovery of [LPLG] from the LG Recovery Fund in a National Multistate Opioid Settlement. [COUNSEL] certify that they first sought fees and costs from the Multistate Contingency Fee Fund before seeking or accepting payment under this backstop agreement.
