If the Trust experienced a deficit it would be distributed over all the Trust <br /> participants on a pro rata basis based on contributions to the Trust and <br /> approximately$45 million in annual contributions. That is, Orange <br /> County's share would be the percentage of the $2.2 million which its <br /> contributions are of the total annual contributions. For example, if the <br /> County's contributions are$1 million, this would be about two percent of <br /> $45 million and represents about$44,000. <br /> The Trust may not legally waive Orange County's or any other member's <br /> liability even if the member enters the Trust on a"fully insured"basis. It <br /> is the nature of a Trust that the members share in the potential loss as well <br /> as gain. <br />
