Docusign Envelope ID:F617E359-4OD9-46EO-BD71-OF5OB4798B26 <br /> participation is sufficient for the Purdue Settlement to move forward and whether a <br /> state earns its maximum potential payment under the Purdue Direct Settlement. If <br /> the Purdue Settlement moves forward and goes effective, your release will become <br /> effective. If the Purdue Settlement does not move forward, that release will not <br /> become effective. <br /> Any subdivision that does not participate in the Purdue Direct Settlement cannot <br /> directly share in the Purdue Direct Settlement funds, even if other subdivisions in the <br /> state are participating and sharing in those Purdue Direct Settlement funds. Any <br /> subdivision that does not participate may also reduce the amount of money for <br /> programs to remediate the opioid crisis in its state. Please note, a subdivision will not <br /> necessarily directly receive Purdue Settlement funds by participating; decisions on <br /> how Purdue Settlement funds will be allocated within a state are subject to intrastate <br /> agreements or state statutes. <br /> You are encouraged to discuss the terms and benefits of the Purdue Settlement with <br /> your counsel, your Attorney General's Office, and other contacts within your state. <br /> The State of California, along with a group of cities and counties, negotiated the <br /> California State-Subdivision Agreement, which governs the allocation, distribution, <br /> and use of abatement funds from the Purdue Settlement paid to California. The <br /> allocation of abatement funds will be similar to the allocation in the prior opioids <br /> settlements, where the vast majority (85%) of abatement funds is expected to go to <br /> local governments. <br /> Information and documents regarding the Purdue Settlement, including a complete <br /> copy of the Governmental Entity and Shareholder Direct Settlement Agreement, and <br /> how it is being implemented in your state and how funds will be allocated within your <br /> state can be found on the national settlement website at <br /> https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/purdue-sacklers-settlements/. This website <br /> will be supplemented as additional documents are created. <br /> How to return signed forms: <br /> There are three methods for returning the executed Participation Form and any <br /> supporting documentation to the Implementation Administrator: <br /> (1)Electronic Signature via DocuSign: Executing the Participation Form and <br /> California State-Subdivision Agreement electronically through DocuSign will <br /> return the signed form and agreement to the Implementation Administrator <br /> and associate your form and agreement with your subdivision's records. <br /> Electronic signature is the most efficient method for returning the Participation <br /> Form and California State-Subdivision Agreement, allowing for more timely <br /> participation and the potential to meet higher settlement payment thresholds, <br /> and is therefore strongly encouraged. <br /> (2)Manual Signature returned via DocuSign: DocuSign allows forms to be <br /> downloaded, signed manually, then uploaded to DocuSign and returned <br /> automatically to the Implementation Administrator.
