The officers were shot while a large demonstration over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis was underway nearby.
The four defendants agreed to plead guilty to obstruction of justice and will be sentenced early next year.
Another suspect, Steven Carrillo, 32, is accused of Underwood's killing as well as the fatal shooting of a Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Deputy.
Carrillo has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
