ONE ARIZONA DISTRIBUTION OF OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS 
AGREEMENT 
General Principles 

The people of the State of Arizona and Arizona communities have been harmed by the
opioid epidemic, which was caused by entities within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain.

The State of Arizona, ex rel. Mark Brnovich, Attorney General (the “State”), and certain
Participating Local Governments are separately engaged in litigation seeking to hold the
Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants accountable for the damage they caused.

The State and the Participating Local Governments share a common desire to abate and
alleviate the impacts of the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants’ misconduct
throughout the State of Arizona.

The State and the Participating Local Governments previously entered into the One
Arizona Opioid Settlement Memorandum of Understanding for the purpose of jointly
approaching Settlement negotiations with the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants.

The State and the Participating Local Governments now enter into this One Arizona
Distribution of Opioid Settlement Funds Agreement (“Agreement”) to establish binding
terms for the distribution and spending of funds from Settlements with the Pharmaceutical
Supply Chain Participants.
A. Definitions
As used in this Agreement: 
1. “Approved Purpose(s)” shall mean those uses identified in the agreed Opioid Abatement
Strategies attached as Exhibit A.
2. “Contingency Fee Fund” shall mean a sub fund established in a Settlement for the purpose
of paying contingency fees, such as the Attorney Fee Fund described in Section I.V of the
Settlement with the Settling Distributors and the sub fund of the Attorney Fee Fund
described in Section II.D of the Settlement with J&J.1
3. “J&J” shall mean Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., OrthoMcNeil-
Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Janssen Pharmaceutica, Inc.
4. “Litigation” means existing or potential legal claims against Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
Participants seeking to hold them accountable for the damage caused by their misfeasance,
nonfeasance, and malfeasance relating to the unlawful manufacture, marketing, promotion,
distribution, or dispensing of prescription opioids.

5. “Opioid Funds” shall mean monetary amounts obtained through a Settlement as defined in 
this Agreement. 
6. “Participating Local Government(s)” shall mean all counties, cities, and towns within the 
geographic boundaries of the State that have chosen to sign on to this Agreement and each 
applicable Settlement. The Participating Local Governments may be referred to separately 
in this Agreement as “Participating Counties” and “Participating Cities and Towns” (or 
“Participating Cities or Towns,” as appropriate). 
7. “Parties” shall mean the State and the Participating Local Governments. 
8. “Pharmaceutical Supply Chain” shall mean the process and channels through which licit 
opioids are manufactured, marketed, promoted, distributed, or dispensed. 
9. “Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participant” shall mean any entity that engages in or has 
engaged in the manufacture, marketing, promotion, distribution, or dispensing of licit 
opioids. 
10. “Settlement” shall mean the negotiated resolution of legal or equitable claims against a 
Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participant when that resolution has been jointly entered into 
by the State and the Participating Local Government and approved as final by a court of 
competent jurisdiction. 
11. “Settling Distributors” shall mean McKesson Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc., and 
AmerisourceBergen Corporation. 
12. “Trustee” shall mean either (1) an independent trustee who shall be responsible for the 
ministerial task of releasing the Opioid Funds that are in trust as authorized herein and 
accounting for all payments into or out of the trust, or (2) a settlement fund administrator, 
in the event that the Settlement includes a fund administrator.  In either case, the Trustee 
will distribute funds in accordance with this Agreement. 
B. Intrastate Regions 
1. The State of Arizona will be divided into regions, each of which will be referred to as a 
“Region” and will consist of: (1) a single Participating County and all of its Participating 
Cities and Towns; or (2) all of the Participating Cities and Towns within a non-
Participating County. If there is only one Participating City or Town within a non-
Participating County, that single Participating City or Town will still constitute a Region. 
Two or more Regions may at their discretion form a group (“Multicounty Region”). 
Regions that do not choose to form a Multicounty Region will be their own Region. 
Participating Cities and Towns within a non-Participating County may not form a Region 
with Participating Cities and Towns in another county. 
2. The LG Share funds described in Section C(1) will be distributed to each Region according 
to the percentages set forth in Exhibit B. The Regional allocation model uses three equally 
weighted factors: (1) the amount of opioids shipped to the Region; (2) the number of opioid 
deaths that occurred in that Region; and (3) the number of people who suffer opioid use 
disorder in that Region. In the event any county does not participate in this Agreement, that

3 
 
county’s percentage share shall be reallocated proportionally amongst the Participating 
Counties by applying this same methodology to only the Participating Counties. 
3. In single-county Regions, that county’s health department will serve as the lead agency 
responsible for distributing the LG Share funds. That health department, acting as the lead 
agency, shall consult with the cities and towns in the county regarding distribution of the 
LG Share funds. 
4. For each Multicounty Region, an advisory council shall be formed from the Participating 
Local Governments in the Multicounty Region to distribute the collective LG Share funds. 
Each advisory council shall include at least three Participating Local Government 
representatives, not all of whom may reside in the same county. Each advisory council 
shall consult with the Participating Local Governments in the Multicounty Region 
regarding distribution of the collective LG Share funds. 
5. For each Region consisting of the Participating Cities and Towns within a non-
Participating County, an advisory council shall be formed from the Participating Cities and 
Towns in the Region to distribute the LG Share funds. Each advisory council shall include 
at least three representatives from the Participating Cities and Towns in the Region, or a 
representative from each Participating City and Town if the Region consists of fewer than 
three Participating Cities and Towns. In no event may more than one individual represent 
the same city or town. To the extent any Participating Cities or Towns in the Region are 
not represented on the advisory council, the advisory council shall consult with the non-
represented Participating Cities and Towns regarding distribution of the collective LG 
Share funds. 
C. Allocation of Settlement Proceeds 
1. All Opioid Funds shall be divided with 44% to the State (“State Share”) and 56% to the 
Participating Local Governments (“LG Share”).2  
2. All Opioid Funds, except those allocated to payment of counsel and litigation expenses as 
set forth in Section E, shall be utilized in a manner consistent with the Approved Purposes 
definition. Compliance with this requirement shall be verified through reporting, as set out 
in Section F. 
3. Each LG Share will be distributed to each Region or Multicounty Region as set forth in 
Section B(2). Participating Counties and their constituent Participating Cities and Towns 
may distribute the funds allocated to the Region or Multicounty Region amongst 
themselves in any manner they choose. If a county and its cities and towns cannot agree on 
how to allocate the funds, the default allocation in Exhibit C will apply. The default 
allocation formula uses historical federal data showing how each county and the cities and 
towns within it have made opioids-related expenditures in the past. If a county or any cities 
or towns within a Region or Multicounty Region do not sign on to this Agreement and each 
                                                     
2  This Agreement assumes that any opioid settlement for Native American Tribes and Third-Party 
Payors, including municipal insurance pools, will be dealt with separately.

4 
 
Settlement, and if the Participating Local Governments in the Region or Multicounty 
Region cannot agree on how to allocate the funds from that Settlement amongst 
themselves, the funds shall be reallocated proportionally by applying this same 
methodology to only the Participating Local Governments in the Region or Multicounty 
Region.  
4. If the LG Share for a given Participating Local Government is less than $500, then that 
amount will instead be distributed to the Region or Multicounty Region in which the 
Participating Local Government is located to allow practical application of the abatement 
remedy. If the county did not sign on to the Settlement as defined herein, the funds will be 
reallocated to the State Share. 
5. The State Share shall be paid by check or wire transfer directly to the State through the 
Trustee, who shall hold the funds in trust, or as otherwise required by a Settlement for the 
benefit of the State, to be timely distributed as set forth in C(1) herein. The LG Share shall 
be paid by check or wire transfer directly to the Regions or Multicounty Regions through 
the Trustee, who shall hold the funds in trust, or as otherwise required by a Settlement for 
the benefit of the Participating Local Governments, to be timely distributed as set forth in 
B(2), C(1), C(3), and C(4) herein.  
6. The State Share shall be used only for (1) Approved Purposes within the State or (2) grants 
to organizations for Approved Purposes within the State. 
7. The LG Share shall be used only for (1) Approved Purposes by Participating Local 
Governments within a Region or Multicounty Region or (2) grants to organizations for 
Approved Purposes within a Region or Multicounty Region. 
8. The State will endeavor to prioritize up to 30% of the State Share for opioid education and 
advertising related to awareness, addiction, or treatment; Department of Corrections and 
related prison and jail opioid uses; and opioid interdiction and abatement on Arizona’s 
southern border, including grants to assist with the building, remodeling and/or operation 
of centers for treatment, drug testing, medication-assisted treatment services, probation, 
job training, and/or counseling services, among other programs. 
9. If the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) disallows any federal 
funding for the State’s Medicaid programs pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1396b as a consequence 
of sums received pursuant to resolution of any Litigation with Pharmaceutical Supply 
Chain Participants, or otherwise seeks to recover sums it regards as the federal share of any 
Settlement, the amount recovered by CMS shall first be paid from the total amount of 
Opioid Funds available to the Parties under that Settlement and the distribution to the State 
and Participating Local Governments shall thereafter be made from the remaining funds. 
10. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Settlement may require Participating Local 
Governments to release all their claims against the settling Pharmaceutical Supply Chain 
Participants to receive Opioid Funds. The Parties further acknowledge and agree based on 
the terms of any such national Settlement, a Participating Local Government will not 
receive funds through this Agreement until it has complied with all requirements set forth

5 
 
in that national Settlement to release its claims. This Agreement is not a promise by any 
Party that any Settlement (including any Settlement resolved through bankruptcy) will be 
finalized or executed. 
D. Participation of Cities and Towns 
1. By signing on to the Agreement and any Settlement, a Participating County will receive 
60% of its available LG Share for that Settlement when distribution under that Settlement 
occurs. Any such Participating County will receive up to an additional 40% of its available 
LG Share for that Settlement by securing the participation of its constituent cities and towns 
as signatories to this Agreement and that Settlement when distribution under that 
Settlement occurs. The sliding scale attached as Exhibit D will determine the share of funds 
available to the Participating County.3 
2. If a Participating County does not achieve 100% participation of its cities and towns within 
the period of time required in a Settlement document for subdivision participation, the 
remaining portions of the LG Share that were otherwise available to the Participating 
County will be reallocated to (i) the State Share and (ii) the LG Share for the Participating 
Counties which have achieved 100% participation of their cities and towns in accordance 
with the percentages described in Sections B(2), C(1), and C(3), and set forth in Exhibits 
B and C. 
E. Payment of Counsel and Litigation Expenses 
1. The Parties anticipate that any Settlement will provide for the payment of all or a portion 
of the fees and litigation expenses of certain state and local governments.  
2. If the court in In Re: National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL No. 2804 (N.D. Ohio) 
or if a Settlement establishes a common benefit fund or similar device to compensate 
attorneys for services rendered and expenses incurred that have benefited plaintiffs 
generally in the litigation (the “Common Benefit Fund”), and requires certain 
governmental plaintiffs to pay a share of their recoveries from defendants into the Common 
Benefit Fund as a “tax,” then the Participating Local Governments shall first seek to have 
the settling defendants pay the “tax.” If the settling defendants do not agree to pay the 
“tax,” then the “tax” shall be paid from the LG Share prior to allocation and distribution of 
funds to the Participating Local Governments.4 
                                                     
3  Population allocation of cities and towns within counties will be derived from the population 
data included in any national Settlement. If such data is not included in the respective national 
Settlement, then population allocation will be determined from those cities and towns listed in 
Exhibit C. The data in Exhibit C is derived from the U.S. Census Estimate (July 1, 2019). 
 
4  This paragraph shall not apply to the Settlement with the Settling Distributors or the Settlement 
with J&J.

6 
 
3. Any governmental entity that seeks attorneys’ fees and expenses from the Litigation shall 
seek those fees and expenses first from the national Settlement.5 In addition, the Parties 
agree that the Participating Local Governments will create a supplemental attorney’s fees 
and costs fund (the “Backstop Fund”).  
4. In the event that any Settlement imposes additional limitations or obligations on the 
payment of counsel and litigation expenses, those limitations and obligations take 
precedence over this Agreement. 
5. The Backstop Fund is to be used to compensate counsel for Participating Local 
Governments that filed opioid lawsuits by September 1, 2020 (“Litigating Participating 
Local Governments”). Payments out of the Backstop Fund shall be determined by a 
committee consisting of one representative from each of the Litigating Participating Local 
Governments (the “Opioid Fee and Expense Committee”). 
6. The amount of the Backstop Fund shall be determined as follows: From any national 
Settlement, the funds in the Backstop Fund shall equal 14.25% of the LG Share for that 
Settlement. No portion of the State Share shall be used for the Backstop Fund or in any 
other way to fund any Participating Local Government’s attorney’s fees and costs. If 
required to do so by any Settlement, Participating Local Governments must report to the 
national Settlement Fund Administrator regarding contributions to, or payments from, the 
Backstop Fund. 
7. The maximum percentage of any contingency fee agreement permitted for compensation 
shall be 25% of the portion of the LG Share attributable to the Litigating Participating 
Local Government that is a party to the contingency fee agreement, plus expenses 
attributable to that Litigating Participating Local Government, unless a Settlement or other 
court order imposes a lower limitation on contingency fees. Under no circumstances may 
counsel collect more for its work on behalf of a Litigating Participating Local Government 
than it would under its contingency agreement with that Litigating Participating Local 
Government. 
8. Payments to counsel for Participating Local Governments shall be made from the Backstop 
Fund in the same percentages and over the same period of time as the national Contingency 
Fee Fund for each settlement. The Attorneys’ Fees and Costs schedule for the Settling 
Distributors is listed in Exhibit R §(II)(S)(1) of the Settlement with the Settling 
                                                     
5  The State retained outside counsel in the Purdue litigation and if it is unable to secure payment 
of attorneys’ fees and expenses from the bankruptcy proceedings in an amount sufficient to 
compensate outside counsel consistent with the terms of the State’s contract with that outside 
counsel, any remaining attorneys’ fees and expenses related to the representation of the State will 
first be paid directly from the total amount of Opioid Funds available to the Parties under that 
Settlement, up to the agreed amount in the outside counsel contract, and the distribution to the 
State and Participating Local Governments shall thereafter be made from the remaining funds.

7 
 
Distributors.6 The Attorneys’ Fees and Costs schedule for J&J is listed in Exhibit R 
§(II)(A)(1) of the Settlement with J&J.7 For future Settlements with other defendants in the 
Pharmaceutical Supply Chain, any necessary payments to counsel for Participating Local 
Governments shall be made from the Backstop Fund in the same percentages and over the 
same periods of time as the fee funds for those Settlements, if applicable, subject to the 
limitations set forth in this Agreement set form in paragraph E(7) above.  
9. Any funds remaining in the Backstop Fund in excess of the amounts needed to cover 
private counsel’s representation agreements shall revert to the Participating Local 
Governments according to the percentages set forth in Exhibits B and C, to be used for 
Approved Purposes as set forth herein and in Exhibit A. 
F. Compliance Reporting and Accountability 
1. If the State and Participating Local Governments use a Trustee for purposes of distributing 
funds pursuant to any Settlement, the Trustee shall be requested to provide timely an up-
to-date accounting of payments into or out of any trust established to hold such funds and/or 
its subaccounts upon written request of the State or a Participating Local Government. 
2. The State, Regions, and Participating Local Governments may object to an allocation or 
expenditure of Opioid Funds solely on the basis that the allocation or expenditure at issue 
(1) is inconsistent with provision C(1) hereof with respect to the amount of the State Share 
or LG Share; (2) is inconsistent with an agreed-upon allocation, or the default allocations 
in Exhibits B and C, as contemplated by Section C(3); or (3) violates the limitations set 
forth in F(3) with respect to compensation of the Trustee. The objector shall have the right 
to bring that objection within two years of the date of its discovery to a superior court in 
Maricopa County, Arizona. 
3. In the event that the State and Participating Local Governments use a Trustee, 
compensation for Trustee’s expenses of fund administration may be paid out of the Opioid 
Funds for reasonable expenses; provided that, reasonable expenses do not exceed the 
administrative expenses allowed under the terms of the relevant Settlement. 
4. The Parties shall maintain, for a period of at least five years, records of abatement 
expenditures and documents underlying those expenditures, so that it can be verified that 
funds are being or have been utilized in a manner consistent with the Approved Purposes 
definition.  This requirement supersedes any shorter period of time specified in any 
applicable document retention or destruction policy. 
5. At least annually, by July 31 of each year, each Region or Multicounty Region shall provide 
to the State a report detailing for the preceding fiscal year (1) the amount of the LG Share 
received by each Participating Local Government within the Region or Multicounty 
Region, (2) the allocation of any awards approved (listing the recipient, the amount 
awarded, the program to be funded, and disbursement terms), and (3) the amounts 
                                                     
6  Text of settlement available at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com.  
 
7  Text of settlement available at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com.

8 
 
disbursed on approved allocations. In order to facilitate this reporting, each Participating 
Local Government within a Region or Multicounty Region shall provide information 
necessary to meet these reporting obligations to a delegate(s) selected by the Region or 
Multicounty Region to provide its annual report to the State.  Any Participating Local 
Government shall also comply with any reporting requirements imposed by any 
Settlement.   
6. No later than September 30 of each year, the State shall publish on its website a report 
detailing for the preceding fiscal year (1) the amount of the State Share received, (2) the 
allocation of any awards approved (listing the recipient, the amount awarded, the program 
to be funded, and disbursement terms), and (3) the amounts disbursed on approved 
allocations. In addition, the State shall publish on its website the reports described in F(5) 
above.  The State shall also comply with any reporting requirements imposed by any 
Settlement. 
7. If it appears to the State, a Region, or a Multicounty Region that the State or another 
Region or Multicounty Region is using or has used Settlement funds for non-Approved 
Purposes, the State, Region, or Multicounty Region may on written request seek and 
obtain the documentation underlying the report(s) described in F(5) or F(6), as applicable, 
including documentation described in F(4). The State, Region, or Multicounty Region 
receiving such request shall have 14 days to provide the requested information. The 
requesting party and the State, Region, or Multicounty Region receiving such request 
may extend the time period for compliance with the request only upon mutual agreement. 
8. Following a request made pursuant to F(7) and when it appears that LG Share funds are 
being or have been spent on non-Approved Purposes, the State may seek and obtain in an 
action in a court of competent jurisdiction in Maricopa County, Arizona an injunction 
prohibiting the Region or Multicounty Region from spending LG Share funds on non-
Approved Purposes and requiring the Region or Multicounty Region to return the monies 
that it spent on non-Approved Purposes after notice as is required by the rules of civil 
procedure. So long as the action is pending, distribution of LG Share funds to the Region 
or Multicounty Region temporarily will be suspended. Once the action is resolved, the 
suspended payments will resume, less any amounts that were ordered returned but have 
not been returned by the time the action is resolved. 
9. Following a request made pursuant to F(7) and when it appears to at least eight 
Participating Counties that have signed on to this Agreement and a subsequent Settlement 
that the State Share funds are being or have been spent on non-Approved Purposes, the 
Participating Counties may seek and obtain in an action in a superior court of Maricopa 
County, Arizona an injunction prohibiting the State from spending State Share funds on 
non-Approved Purposes and requiring the State to return the monies it spent on non-
Approved Purposes after notice as is required by the rules of civil procedure. So long as 
the action is pending, distribution of State Share funds to the State temporarily will be 
suspended. Once the action is resolved, the suspended payments will resume, less any 
monies that were ordered returned but have not been returned by the time the action is 
resolved.
