DISTRIBUTORS' 9.18.21 EXHIBIT UPDATES EXHIBIT G Subdivisions Eligible to Receive Direct Allocations from the Subdivision Fund and Default Subdivision Fund Allocation Percentages The Subdivisions set forth on this Exhibit G are eligible to receive direct allocations from the Subdivision Fund, if such Subdivisions are otherwise eligible to receive such funds under this Agreement. By default, the Subdivisions set forth on this Exhibit G shall include: (1) all Litigating Subdivisions that are General Purpose Governments; (2) all counties and parishes in States with functional counties or parishes; (3) all Subdivisions that are the highest level of General Purpose Government in States without functional counties or parishes; and(4) all other Subdivisions that are General Purpose Governments with a population of 10,000 or greater. A State may elect to add any additional Subdivisions to this Exhibit G at any time prior to the Initial Participation Date. Immediately upon the effectiveness of any State-Subdivision Agreement, Allocation Statute, Statutory Trust, or voluntary redistribution allowed by Section V.D.3 (or upon the effectiveness of an amendment to any State-Subdivision Agreement, Allocation Statute, Statutory Trust, or voluntary redistribution allowed by Section V.D.3) that addresses allocation from the Subdivision Fund, whether before or after the Initial Participation Date, this Exhibit G will automatically be amended to reflect the allocation from the Subdivision Fund pursuant to the State-Subdivision Agreement, Allocation Statute, Statutory Trust, or voluntary redistribution allowed by Section V.D.3. For the avoidance of doubt, inclusion on this Exhibit G shall not create any claim for any amount of the Settlement Fund, and no such amounts shall be allocated or distributed to any Subdivision included herein if such Subdivision does not otherwise meet all requirements to receive any such funds pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties recognize the benefits of remediation funds reaching all communities, including through direct payments from the Subdivision Fund. However, to promote efficiency in the use of such funds and avoid administratively-burdensome disbursements that would be too small to add a meaningful abatement response, certain Subdivisions do not receive a direct allocation from the Subdivision Fund. However, such Subdivisions will benefit from Opioid Remediation in their community, and are eligible to receive direct benefits from the Abatement Accounts Fund in their State. All settlement funds, whether allocated to a Settling State, an Abatement Accounts Fund or a Subdivision listed on this Exhibit G can be used for Opioid Remediation in communities not listed herein. As provided by Section V.D.4.c, the Allocation Percentages shown below apply to distribution of each Settling State's Subdivision Fund in the absence of a State-Subdivision Agreement, Allocation Statute, or Statutory Trust. The allocation that would have otherwise gone to General Purpose Government Subdivisions not listed below as receiving a direct allocation shall be (1) directed to the county or parish in which such Subdivision is located in Settling States with functional counties or parishes if the relevant county or parish is a Participating Subdivision or (2)to the highest-level General Purpose Government in which such Subdivision is located in Settling States without functional counties or parishes if the relevant highest-level General G-1
