CERTNA and CERTNA Members shall be each individually a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”). There are no other parties to this Agreement. RECITALS A.In 2007, the Boards of Supervisors of the Counties of San Bernardino and Kern approved the formation of a Joint Powers Agreement to create CERTNA. B.CERTNA was formed for the joint development, implementation and operation of a system for the electronic recording of real property-related legal documents under the authority of the Electronic Recording Delivery Act of 2004. C.On July 24, 2008, the Board of Directors of CERTNA adopted Resolution 2009- 001 to have its employees become members of the San Bernardino County Employees’ Retirement Association (“SBCERA”), which provides employees of participating employers with retirement and related benefits. D.After adoption of CERTNA Resolution 2009-001, employees of CERTNA became members of SBCERA in accordance with County Employees’ Retirement Law Act of 1937 as set forth in Title 3, Division 4, Part 3, Chapter 3 (beginning with section 31450) of the California Government Code. E.CERTNA ceased membership with SBCERA effective June 30, 2021. F.The withdrawing members of CERTNA with a withdrawal date of June 30, 2021 are the following Counties: County of San Joaquin, County of Fresno, County of Madera, County of Merced, County of Santa Clara, County of Shasta and County of Solano. G.The County of San Bernardino, withdrew as a CERTNA member effective June 30, 2020. H.In 2020, CERTNA notified SBCERA of its intent to explore a possible withdrawal as a participating employer of the system by terminating its agreement with SBCERA. 30th June 21 Agreement No. 21-424 {CW102602.13} Release and Satisfaction of Claims CERTNA and CERTNA Members Page 2 of 14 I. CERTNA requested SBCERA proceed with actuarial calculations to determine the liability for termination of membership from SBCERA under General Policy No. 2020 – Participating Employer Termination and Terminal Funding Policy. J. SBCERA, through its actuary Segal on February 2, 2021, provided CERTNA a draft termination study with an estimated termination liability as of March 31, 2021. K. On March 25, 2021, the CERTNA Board approved CERTNA Resolution 2021-003 to withdraw as a participating employer from SBCERA. L. On April 7, 2021, the CERTNA Board amended CERTNA Resolution 2021-003 to: establish an effective date for withdrawing as a participating member from SBCERA as of June 30, 2021; provide that current, withdrawing and former members will be liable for their proportional shares of CERTNA’s unfunded pension liability obligations associated with withdrawal from SBCERA; and authorize a lump sum payment from CERTNA to SBCERA for the total liability owed. M. Section 11 of the Joint Powers Agreement to create CERTNA provides that withdrawing members of CERTNA remain liable for and shall pay their proportional shares of any indebtedness incurred while they were members of CERTNA, and such indebtedness includes CERTNA’s unfunded pension liability associated with CERTNA’s withdrawal from SBCERA. N. At the April 22, 2021 CERTNA Board meeting, the CERTNA Board approved an allocation of CERTNA’s unfunded pension liability obligations associated with CERTNA’s withdrawal from SBCERA among its current, withdrawing and former members based on share of services received from CERTNA, based on the estimated termination liability and subject to change to reflect the final amounts to be determined by SBCERA. O. Segal calculated CERTNA’s funding obligation as of the termination date of June 30, 2021, using a market valuation approach to be Two Million Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand One Hundred Twenty-One Dollars ($2,525,121.00) in unfunded liabilities for all of CERTNA’s employees, current and former, including all benefits except those provided by the Survivor Benefit Reserve, for which CERTNA’s obligation is $0 because it has no beneficiaries receiving payments from that reserve. The final valuation from SBCERA and allocation of unfunded pension liability for CERTNA Members is contained in Segal’s termination study dated May 27, 2021 as set forth and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. The final allocation of unfunded pension liability for CERTNA Members is set forth in Exhibit B, “Proportional Allocation of CERTNA’s Unfunded Pension Liability Obligations Among the Parties.” P. CERTNA, the County of San Bernardino, and the County of Kern have executed separate agreements, each entitled “Settlement Agreement and Full Release of All {CW102602.13} Release and Satisfaction of Claims CERTNA and CERTNA Members Page 3 of 14 Claims” memorializing the allocation of unfunded pension liability obligations as to the County of San Bernardino and the County of San Bernardino respectively, associated with CERTNA’s withdrawal from SBCERA.

Termination Conditions According to SBCERA, the District currently has two members. As of the termination date, one member is expected to be a retiree while the other is expected to be a terminated vested member. SBCERA would retain the obligation to provide benefits to both members as of the termination date of June 30, 2021. Data Used in This Calculation This study is based on the information we collected and calculated in our most recent actuarial valuation for SBCERA as of June 30, 2020. In this study, we determined a proportional share of the assets for the District as of June 30, 2020 by following the same procedures used in prior termination studies for SBCERA. As detailed below, that methodology is used for determining the assets for all benefits except those provided by the Survivor Benefit Reserve. In order to project the District’s assets and liabilities to June 30, 2021, we have also collected the following additional information from SBCERA: • Actual net market value rate of return information from July 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. • Actual contributions of $226,729 made by the District and its employees for the period from July 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 and expected contributions of $47,603 to be Ms. Debby Cherney May 27, 2021 Page 2 5690263v3/05111.002 made by the District and its employees for the period from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021.1 • Data on both members from the District as of June 30, 2021. Based on the above information, we have projected the allocated assets of the District from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. The assets have been projected using the actual return of 24.7% for the period from July 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 as reported to us by SBCERA. We have been directed by SBCERA to project the assets for the period from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021 using a return of 0.0%.2 Funding Obligation Settlement Conditions Based on the “Participating Employer Termination and Terminal Funding Obligation” policy adopted by SBCERA, a market based approach is used in determining the District’s funding obligation as of the termination date. Under this approach, there would be no reassessment of the benefit liability after the District’s termination date of June 30, 2021. This approach dictates the use of the market value of assets and requires a valuation of the liabilities on a market-consistent basis. Under this approach, the liabilities for retirees and terminated members will be calculated using the actuarial assumptions for the June 30, 2020 actuarial valuation, except that future benefit payments will be discounted to the termination date using a market based discount rate. The market based discount rates for this purpose are the discount rates used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) to measure the sufficiency of assets for a terminating single-employer (non-public) defined benefit pension plan. As directed by SBCERA, we have used the rates as of March 2021,3 published by the PBGC for discounting expected benefit payments from pension plans, which are 1.69% per annum for the next 20 years and 1.66% per annum thereafter. Results and Methodology Used in Calculation The results under the “Market Valuation” approach are shown in Attachment A. We have determined that the District’s funding obligation as of the termination date using the “Market Valuation” approach is $2,525,121 in unfunded liability for all benefits except those provided by the Survivor Benefit Reserve. The District’s funding obligation associated with the Survivor Benefit Reserve is $0 since the District has no beneficiaries receiving payments from that reserve. 1 Historically, Segal has used the actual contributions from the most recent actuarial valuation date (June 30, 2020) through the termination date. However, we have been directed by SBCERA to use the actual contributions for the period June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021 and the expected contributions for the period April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. 2 SBCERA’s “Participating Employer Termination and Terminal Funding Obligation” policy states that the assets should be projected to the termination date using “the net rate of return on the market value of SBCERA’s total assets from the most recent actuarial valuation date to the date of the participating employer’s termination.” However, we have been directed by SBCERA to use the actual return from the most recent actuarial valuation date (June 30, 2020) through March 31, 2021 and a rate of return of 0.0% from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. Thus if SBCERA experiences a negative return for the period April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, the District’s funding obligation in this letter would be understated. 3 Historically, Segal has used the PBGC rates as of the termination date. However, we have been directed by SBCERA to use the PBGC rates as of March 2021. Ms. Debby Cherney May 27, 2021 Page 3 5690263v3/05111.002 From discussions with the District, we were informed that one of the members included in the determination of the District’s funding obligation had prior service while serving as an employee of the County. As directed by SBCERA, we allocated the District’s funding obligation for this member by prorating the unfunded liability by the ratio of the years of service with the District to the total years of service with both the District and the County. Any net unfunded liabilities at termination are generally required to be paid by the District as a lump sum, although the Board of Retirement may have the authority to allow for the obligation to be paid for over a period of installments. We defer to SBCERA as to whether an installment period is legally permitted. If it is permitted and SBCERA is interested in allowing installment payments, then we can provide information on the payments that would be required over various possible installment periods. Also, if there is a significant delay beyond the proposed termination date of June 30, 2021 in the payment of the funding obligation, then we recommend that the funding obligation be adjusted to reflect interest until the actual payment date. These calculations were based on the June 30, 2020 actuarial valuation results, rate of return information from July 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 and data noted earlier for contributions and District membership. The actuarial valuations were directed under the supervision of Molly Calcagno, ASA, MAAA, Enrolled Actuary. We are members of the American Academy of Actuaries and we meet the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render the actuarial opinion contained herein.
