They are defined in Section II, “Definitions.” In consideration of the payment of the premium, the Authority agrees with the “covered parties” as follows: SECTION I - COVERAGES The Authority will pay up to the “limit of coverage” those sums on behalf of the “covered parties” for “ultimate net loss” in excess of the applicable self-insured retention that the “covered parties” become legally obligated to pay as “damages” by reason of liability imposed by law or liability assumed by contract because of: A. “Bodily injury” or “property damage” and/or B. “Personal injury” and/or C. “Public officials’ errors and omissions” as those terms are herein defined and to which this Memorandum applies, caused by an “occurrence” during the coverage period. As a condition precedent for the Authority to have any duty under this Memorandum, including the duty to pay “ultimate net loss” or any portion thereof, a “covered party” shall first have complied fully with the provisions of SECTION VIII – CONDITIONS. A “covered party’s” failure to so comply shall void the coverage described herein, unless coverage is extended by a two-thirds vote of the full Board. This Memorandum does not provide insurance, but instead provides for pooled self-insurance. This Memorandum is a negotiated agreement amongst the Members of the Authority, and as such, no party to the Memorandum is entitled to interpret it by reference to legal principles specific to contracts of adhesion, or to commercial insurers. Similarly, no party to this Memorandum may rely on any contract interpretation principles which require interpretation of ambiguous language against the drafter of such agreement. This Memorandum shall be applied according to the principles of contract law, giving full effect to the intent and reasonable expectation of the members of the Authority, acting through the Board of Directors. As the Authority is not an insurer, it has no obligation (but may choose) to issue reservation of rights letters, nor is it bound by the provisions of Civil Code §2860, which pertains to an insurer’s obligation to provide independent counsel to an insured under circumstances defined by that statute. Failure to provide notice to a “covered party” of any coverage dispute shall not operate to DocuSign Envelope ID: 49BDEE33-79E1-4483-850E-E8D498B2ABFC P.O. Box 67 * Walnut Creek, CA 94597 * (925) 943-1100 * Fax (925) 946-4183 Page 2 FY 2022/2023 waive any of the provisions of this Memorandum; however, the Authority will use its best efforts to identify coverage disputes and to alert the “covered party” of such as soon as possible. SECTION II - DEFINITIONS 1. “Additional covered party” means any person or “entity” named as an “additional covered party” and holding a certificate of coverage duly issued by the Authority, for “occurrences” during the coverage period identified in the certificate of coverage; if a particular activity is identified in the certificate of coverage, the person or “entity” is a “covered party” only for “occurrences” arising out of the described activity. Coverage for an “additional covered party” shall be provided only when and to the extent required under the contract, subject to the terms and conditions of this Memorandum. 2. “Aircraft” means a vehicle designed for the transport of persons or property principally in the air, not including an “unmanned aerial vehicle.” 3. “Automobile” means a land motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer. 4. “Bodily injury” means bodily injury, sickness, disease, or emotional distress sustained by a person, including death resulting from any of these at any time. Bodily injury includes “damages” claimed by any person or organization for care, loss of service or death resulting at any time from the bodily injury. 5. “Covered indemnity contract” means that part of a contract or agreement pertaining to the “covered party's” governmental operations, including but not limited to: a) Leases; b) Mutual aid agreements; c) Public works contracts; d) Special events sponsored by the “covered party,” e) Easement or license agreements; or f) Use of facilities or equipment by the “covered party,” under which the “covered party” assumes the tort liability of another party to pay for “bodily injury” or “property damage” to a third person or organization. This definition applies only to tort liability arising out of an “occurrence” to which this Memorandum applies. Tort liability means a liability that would be imposed by law in the absence of any contract or agreement. 6. “Covered individuals” means persons who are past or present elected or appointed officials, employees or volunteers of the “entity”, whether or not compensated, while acting for or on behalf of the “entity,” including while acting on outside boards, commissions, agencies, or similar bodies or entities, conditioned on the following: (a) The Authority's coverage will be excess and will not contribute to any other coverage available to the outside board, commission, agency, or similar body or entity; DocuSign Envelope ID: 49BDEE33-79E1-4483-850E-E8D498B2ABFC P.O. Box 67 * Walnut Creek, CA 94597 * (925) 943-1100 * Fax (925) 946-4183 Page 3 FY 2022/2023 (b) If the outside board, commission, agency, or similar body or entity does not carry coverage, the member should encourage they obtain coverage of their own; (c) To be afforded coverage, the individual must be acting in good faith, without malice or oppression, and in the best interest of the “entity;” and (d) Extension of coverage must be in the best interest of the “entity;” Persons who are past or present elected or appointed officials, employees or volunteers of the “entity” are not “covered individuals” while acting on an airport or hospital board regardless of how such body is denominated. Under no circumstances shall the Authority have a duty to defend or indemnify any “covered individual” under circumstances in which the “entity” itself is not legally required to do so. The Board, at its sole discretion, may waive this section if it deems it is in the best interest of the Authority. 7. “Covered party” means any person, organization, trust or agency qualifying as a covered party in the covered parties section of this Memorandum. 8. “Damages” means compensation in money recovered by a party for loss or detriment it has suffered through the acts of a “covered party.” For purposes of this Memorandum, “damages” includes statutory attorneys’ fees and costs if the attorneys’ fees and costs are related to a claim for “damages” which would otherwise be covered by this Memorandum. 9. “Defense costs” means all fees and expenses caused by and relating to the investigation, defense or litigation of a claim including attorney's fees, court costs and interest on judgments accruing after entry of judgment. Defense costs shall not include the office expenses of the Authority or the “covered party” nor the salaries of employees or officials of the Authority or any “covered party.” Defense costs shall not include any fee or expense relating to coverage issues or disputes between the authority and any “covered party.” Defense costs shall not include attorney fees or costs awarded to a prevailing plaintiff against the “covered party.” 10. “Entity” means the entity named in the Declarations, including any and all commissions, agencies, districts, authorities, boards (including the governing board) or similar entities coming under the entity's direction or control or for which the entity's board members sit as the governing body. Entity includes all departments and constituent agencies of the entity. 11. “Limit of coverage” means the amount of coverage stated in the declaration page or certificate of coverage for each “covered party” per “occurrence.” With respect to “bodily injury,” “property damage,” and “personal injury,” that amount is $1,000,000.00 and the self-insured retention is the amount chosen by the “covered party” and reflected in its Declaration page. With respect to “public officials’ errors & omissions,” that amount is $250,000.00 and the self-insured retention is $25,000.00. For each “occurrence,” there shall be only one limit of coverage regardless of the number of claimants or “covered parties” against whom a claim is made. In the event of allegations of “sexual abuse,” regardless of the number of alleged victims, regardless of the number of alleged acts of “sexual abuse,” and regardless of the number of locations where the alleged acts of “sexual abuse” took place, all instances of “sexual abuse” by the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators acting together shall be deemed to be one “occurrence” taking place at the time of the first alleged act DocuSign Envelope ID: 49BDEE33-79E1-4483-850E-E8D498B2ABFC P.O. Box 67 * Walnut Creek, CA 94597 * (925) 943-1100 * Fax (925) 946-4183 Page 4 FY 2022/2023 of “sexual abuse.” Coverage in effect at the time the “occurrence” takes place shall be the only coverage that may apply, regardless of whether other instances of “sexual abuse” by the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators took place during other Memorandum periods. In the event subsequent allegations of “sexual abuse” are made by different alleged victims involving the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators, they shall be deemed to be part of the same “occurrence” taking place at the time of the first reported “occurrence” involving the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators, and coverage in effect at the time of the first reported “occurrence” shall be the only coverage that may apply. In the event that a structured settlement, whether purchased from or through a third- party, or paid directly by the “covered party” in installments, is utilized in the resolution of a claim or suit, the Authority will pay only up to the amount stated in the Declarations or certificate of coverage in present value of the claim, as determined on the date of settlement, regardless of whether the full value of the settlement exceeds the amount stated in the Declarations or certificate of coverage. 12. “Medical malpractice” means the rendering of or failure to render any of the following services: a. Medical, surgical, dental, psychiatric, psychological counseling, x-ray or nursing services, or treatment or the furnishing of any food or beverage in connection therewith; or any services provided by a health care provider as defined in section 6146(c), (2), of the California Business and Professions Code. b. Furnishing or dispensing of drugs or medical, dental or surgical supplies or appliances. Medical malpractice does not include first aid administered by employees, nor does it include advice or services rendered by a 911 emergency dispatcher. 13. “Nuclear material” means source material, special nuclear material, or by-product material. “Source material,” “special nuclear material,” and “by-product material” have the meanings given to them by the Atomic Energy Act of l954 or in any law amendatory thereof. 14. “Occurrence” means: a. With respect to “bodily injury” or “property damage:” an accident, including continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same generally harmful conditions, which results in “bodily injury” or “property damage” neither expected nor intended from the standpoint of the “covered party.” b.

Subject to specific provisions of this Memorandum regarding “sexual abuse,” with respect to “personal injury” and “public official’s errors and omissions,” an “occurrence” with a duration of more than one coverage period shall be treated as a single “occurrence” arising during the coverage period when the “occurrence” begins. Subject to specific provisions of this Memorandum regarding “sexual abuse,” “property damage” or “bodily injury” with a duration of more than one coverage period shall be deemed to occur during only one coverage period, and that coverage period shall be DocuSign Envelope ID: 49BDEE33-79E1-4483-850E-E8D498B2ABFC P.O.

Coverage for such “property damage” or “bodily injury” shall be provided by, at most, one Memorandum of Coverage by the Authority. In the event of allegations of “sexual abuse,” regardless of the number of alleged victims, regardless of the number of alleged acts of “sexual abuse,” and regardless of the number of locations where the alleged acts of “sexual abuse” took place, all instances of “sexual abuse” by the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators acting together shall be deemed to be one “occurrence” taking place at the time of the first alleged act of “sexual abuse.” Coverage in effect at the time the “occurrence” takes place shall be the only coverage that may apply, regardless of whether other instances of “sexual abuse” by the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators took place during other Memorandum periods. In the event subsequent allegations of “sexual abuse” are made by different alleged victims involving the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators, they shall be deemed to be part of the same “occurrence” taking place at the time of the first reported “occurrence” involving the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators, and coverage in effect at the time of the first reported “occurrence” shall be the only coverage that may apply. 15. “Personal injury” means injury, other than “bodily injury,” arising out of one or more of the following: a. False arrest, detention or imprisonment, or malicious prosecution; b. Abuse of legal process; c.

SECTION III - DEFENSE AND SETTLEMENT With respect to claims or suits for “damages” to which this Memorandum applies, the Authority shall have the right and duty to defend any claim or suit against the “covered party” even if any allegations are groundless, false or fraudulent. However, in making the determination of its duty to defend, the Authority may rely on the facts alleged within a third party’s complaint, and those extrinsic facts known to it. The Authority shall have no duty to speculate about unpled theories of recovery in order to determine its obligations to defend or to indemnify, nor shall the Authority be under any continuing duty to investigate whether a potential for coverage has arisen at some future date. The Authority shall have the right to manage, and the “covered party” shall fully cooperate in, all matters pertaining to the investigation, defense, negotiation, and settlement of any claim or suit for “damages” to which this Memorandum applies. The “covered party” shall be obligated to pay or reimburse the Authority for the entire “ultimate net loss,” up to the applicable self-insured retention. If the “ultimate net loss” exceeds the “covered party's” self-insured retention, the Authority shall be obligated to pay or cause to be paid the “ultimate net loss” in excess of the applicable self-insured retention, up to the Limit of Liability. The Authority shall not be obligated to pay any judgment or settlement or to participate in the defense of any claim or suit after the Authority’s “limit of coverage” has been totally exhausted by the payment of “defense costs” and/or judgments or settlements.

Box 67 * Walnut Creek, CA 94597 * (925) 943-1100 * Fax (925) 946-4183 Page 7 FY 2022/2023 If the “covered party” prevents settlement of any claim or suit for a reasonable amount, defined as the amount the Authority is willing to pay and the claimant is willing to accept, increasing the “covered party’s” potential liability for “damages” and continued “defense costs,” the “covered party” shall pay or shall reimburse the Authority for those “defense costs” incurred after the claim could have been settled, and for any “damages” awarded or settlement agreed upon in excess of the amount for which the claim could have been settled. This includes, but is not limited to, a refusal by the “covered party” to agree to a reasonable non-monetary term of settlement. The Authority, at its own expense, and with a two-thirds vote of the full Board, shall have the right to assume the control of the negotiation, investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any claim or suit that the Authority determines, in its sole discretion, to have a reasonable probability of resulting in an “ultimate net loss” in excess of the applicable self-insured retention. If the Authority assumes control of a claim or suit, the “covered party” shall be obligated at the request of the Authority, to pay any sum necessary for the settlement of the claim or suit, or to satisfy liability imposed by law, up to its applicable self-insured retention, and to satisfy every other requirement to effect a final resolution of the claim or suit. If the “covered party” refuses to pay its applicable self-insured retention on request by the Authority, the claim or suit shall not be covered under this Memorandum, except by majority vote of the full Board. SECTION IV - THE AUTHORITY'S LIMIT OF LIABILITY Regardless of the number of: (1) Persons or “entities” covered under this Memorandum, (2) Persons or organizations making claims or bringing suits, or (3) Claims made or suits brought, the each “occurrence” limit is the most the Authority will pay for “ultimate net loss” arising out of anyone “occurrence.” The “limit of coverage” for any additional “additional covered party” as defined in Section 2, # 1, subject to the per “occurrence” limitation above, shall not exceed the limit stated in its “additional covered party” certificate regardless of the limit which applies to the member. For the purpose of determining the “limit of coverage,” all “damages” arising out of continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same general conditions shall be considered as arising out of one “occurrence.” In the event of allegations of “sexual abuse,” regardless of the number of alleged victims, regardless of the number of alleged acts of “sexual abuse,” and regardless of the number of locations where the alleged acts of “sexual abuse” took place, all instances of “sexual abuse” by the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators acting together shall be deemed to be one “occurrence” taking place at the time of the first alleged act of “sexual abuse.” Coverage in effect at the time the “occurrence” takes place shall be the only coverage that may apply, regardless of whether other instances of “sexual abuse” by the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators took place during other Memorandum periods. In the event subsequent allegations of “sexual abuse” are made by different alleged victims involving the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators, they shall be deemed to be part of the same “occurrence” taking place at the time of the first reported “occurrence” involving the same alleged perpetrator or perpetrators, and coverage in effect at the time of the first reported “occurrence” shall be the only coverage that may apply.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 49BDEE33-79E1-4483-850E-E8D498B2ABFC Memorandum of Coverage Page 4 Effective July 1, 2022 PART TWO – WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COVERAGE The Authority will reimburse the Covered Member for loss resulting from an occurrence during the Coverage Period provided that such loss would be compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Act of the State of California for an employee who is normally employed in the State of California, but only if such employee’s activity in any other state is incidental to the employee’s regular employment and duties in the State of California and California workers’ compensation benefits are administered. However, if the Covered Member is not a duly qualified self -insurer at the time of the occurrence, the Authority will reimburse the Covered Member only for amounts that would have been paid had the Covered Member been a duly qualified self-insurer and the Authority will not pay or reimburse for any penalties, costs, expenses, or other amounts due to or arising from the failure to maintain good standing as a duly qualified self -insurer. The indemnity afforded by this Memorandum shall also apply to loss paid by the Covered Member because of any compensation, benefits, or liability paid by the Covered Member under (a) the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (33 USC Sections 901-950), as may be amended, or (b) the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, also known as the Jones Act (46 U.S. Code, Section 30104), as may be amended; however, only if such liability is incidental to the employee’s regular employment and duties in the State of California. The Authority’s liability includes “bodily injury” to the master and members of the crew of a vessel, provided the “bodily injury” occurred in the territorial limits of, or the operation of a vessel sailing directly between the ports of the Continental United States of America, Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada. Coverage under this Memorandum will be provided in accordance with the benefits, requirements, limitations, and other provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act and this Memorandum will be implemented, administered, and construed pursuant to the Workers’ Compensation Act. If there is a conflict between this Memorandum and the Act, the Act will govern. PART THREE – EMPLOYER’S LIABILITY COVERAGE The Authority will reimburse the Covered Member for loss resulting from an occurrence during the Coverage Period because of the Covered Member’s legal liability for damages arising out of bodily injury or occupational disease sustained by employees normally employed in the State of California. PART FOUR – THE COVERED MEMBER’S RETENTION AND AUTHORITY’S LIMIT OF LIABILITY A. The Covered Member’s Retention The Covered Member shall pay from its own account for an occurrence up to the amount stated in Item 3.a. of the Declarations Page as the Covered Member’s Retained Limit. If, as a result of an occurrence that is a single accident, incident or exposure, employees from two or more Covered Members incur bodily injury, illness, or disease, then the Retained Limits of the involved Covered Members will be adjusted as provided in this provision. Initially, each Covered Member’s stated Retained Limit (i.e., the amount stated in the Declarations Page) will be applied to the calculation of the Authority’s payment of reimbursement under this Memorandum for the Covered Member’s losses paid as a result of the multiple-Covered Member accident, incident or exposure. Five years after the end of the program year in which the accident, incident or exposure occurred, the Aut hority will undertake the following adjustment: (1) calculate the total amount of the losses paid over that period for all Covered Members and employees involved in the multiple-Covered Member accident, incident or exposure; (2) calculate each involved Covered Member’s percentage share (based on the losses paid for the Covered Member’s involved employee or employees) of the total losses paid; (3) multiply each involved Covered Member’s percentage share of the total incurred losses times its stated Retained Limit; (4) use and apply the amount determined under step 3 as the Covered Member’s adjusted Retained Limit for purposes of determining the Authority reimbursement for the losses paid for the multiple-Covered Member accident, incident or exposure; (5) calculate the amount DocuSign Envelope ID: 49BDEE33-79E1-4483-850E-E8D498B2ABFC Memorandum of Coverage Page 5 Effective July 1, 2022 of the Authority’s payment of reimbursement, if any, to each involved Covered Member based on the adjusted Retained Limit of the Covered Member; and (6) if applicable, pay reimbursement or additional reimbursement to the involved Covered Member based on the adjusted Retained Limit. If losses for the multiple-Covered Member accident, incident or exposure remain payable after the five year period, the adjusted Retained Limits for the involved Covered Members will continue to apply to the calc ulation of Authority reimbursement until the employees’ claims are closed and the Authority will not again readjust the involved Covered Members’ Retained Limits. If the total losses for all involved Covered Members exceed the maximum program limit of indemnity, then the allocation of liability for the excess amount will be calculated based on each involved Covered Member’s pro rata percentage share of the final total losses paid. B. Authority’s Limit of Liability The Authority will reimburse the Covered Member for any loss for an occurrence over the amount stated as the Covered Member’s retained limit in Item 3.a. of the Declarations Page provided California workers’ compensation benefits are administered. The Authority’s Limit of Liability for workers’ c ompensation coverage, Part One of this document, will not exceed the limit stated in Item 3.b. of the Declarations Page. The Authority’s Limit of Liability for employers’ liability coverage, Part Two of this document, will not exceed the limit stated in Item 3.b. of the Declarations Page. The reimbursement of any loss shall be limited, by amount and time of payment, to the benefits that are paid or payable pursuant to the Workers’ Compensation Act. The Authority will reimburse the Covered Member for liability imposed upon the Covered Member by Section 4850 of the California Labor Code in excess of the Covered Member’s retained limit. Payments made by the Covered Member in accordance with this section shall be credited to the satisfaction of the Covered Member’s retained limit. The Covered Member shall report payments made by the Covered Member or its third party administrator in two separate entries: (1) maximum temporary disability benefits are coded as a temporary disability benefit, and (2) the remaining full salary amount is coded as a 4850 benefit. C. Attachment of Coverage By Authority The coverage provided by this Memorandum shall not apply to any claim until the amount paid by or on behalf of the Covered Member shall have equaled or exceeded the per occurrence retained limit of the Covered Member. The Authority shall then only be liable for the loss amount actually incurred that is in excess of the Covered Member’s per occurrence retained limit, regardless of whether the Covered Membe r has other insurance, has other pooled coverage, or pays the per occurrence retained limit itself. Amounts to be paid on a claim otherwise covered under this memorandum shall not be paid until such time that the underlying per occurrence retained limit has been paid. D. Subrogation of Claims – Recovery from Others 1. Settlement may include the subrogation of a claim covered under, or that may be covered under, this Memorandum of Coverage. 2. The Covered Member will do everything necessary to protect the rights of the Authority to recover the Authority’s loss from any third party liable for the injury, illness, or disease. The Covered Member shall assist in enforcing the Authority’s rights. Any subrogation recovery by the Authority, after deducting the Authority’s recovery expenses, will first be used to reduce the Authority’s loss. The balance, if any, will be disbursed to the Covered Member. PART FIVE – EXCLUSIONS This Memorandum shall not apply: A. to punitive or exemplary damages, fines, interest, or penalties assessed against or imposed upon the Covered Member; DocuSign Envelope ID: 49BDEE33-79E1-4483-850E-E8D498B2ABFC Memorandum of Coverage Page 6 Effective July 1, 2022 B. additionally under Employer’s Liability Coverage in Part Three of this Memorandum of Coverage: 1. to liability assumed by the Covered Member under any contract or agreement; 2. to bodily injury or occupational disease to an employee while employed in violation of law with the actual knowledge of the Covered Member; 3. to any obligation for which the Covered Member or any carrier as the Covered M ember’s insurer may be held liable under any unemployment compensation or disability benefits law, or under any similar law; 4. to bodily injury or occupational disease intentionally caused or aggravated by or at the direction of the Covered Member; 5. to loss or damages arising out of the coercion, criticism, demotion, evaluation, reassignment, discipline, defamation, harassment, humiliation, discrimination against or termination of an employee or any personnel practices, policies, acts, or omissions; 6. to loss or damages arising out of operations for which the Covered Member has violated or failed to comply with any Workers’ Compensation Law of the State of California; or 7. to punitive or exemplary damages, fines, or penalties assessed against or imposed upon the Covered Member. C. to claims involving a waiver of subrogation approved by a member after the date of injury , illness, or disease that resulted in the claim.

Inspection The Authority has the right, but is not obligated, to inspect the Covered Member’s workplaces at any time. The Authority’s inspections are not safety inspections. They relate only to the insurability of the workplaces and premiums to be charged. The Authority may give the Covered Member reports on the conditions the Authority finds. The Authority may recommend changes. While they may help reduce losses, the Authority does not undertake to perform the duty of any person to provide for the health or safety of the Covered Member’s employees or the public. The Authority does not warrant that the Covered Member’s workplaces are safe or healthful or that they comply with law, regulations, codes, or standards. D. Transfer of The Covered Member’s Rights and Duties The Covered Member’s rights and duties under this Memorandum may not be transferred without the Authority’s prior written consent. E.

If the affected Covered Member disagrees with a written decision by the Executive Director (including, but not limited to, a decision denying coverage of all or part of a clai m), the Covered Member may appeal that decision to the Authority’s Executive Committee by filing a written notice of appeal with the Executive Director within 30 days of the date of the Executive Director’s written decision.
