6. Nothing in this MOU should alter or change any Participating <br /> Local Government's rights to pursue its own claim. Rather,the intent of <br /> this MOU is to join all parties who wish to be Participating Local <br /> Governments to agree upon an allocation formula for any Opioid Funds <br /> from any future binding Settlement with one or more Pharmaceutical <br /> Supply Chain Participants for all Local Governments in the State of <br /> Washington. <br /> 7.

Records <br /> requested by another Participating Local Government or an OAC shall be <br /> produced within twenty-one (21) days of the date the record request was <br /> received. This requirement does not supplant any Participating Local <br /> Government or OAC's obligations under Washington's Public Records <br /> Act RCW 42.56.001 et seq. <br /> D.
