Garden Grove has asked the Firm to represent it in connection with <br />the Willowick Matter. In the past, this Firm has represented the Santa Ana Redevelopment Agency <br />and the City of Santa Ana acting as the Successor Agency to the Santa Ana Redevelopment Agency. <br />In light of these past representations, we believe it is necessary to inform you of the potential conflict <br />of interest and obtain a consent from both Garden Grove and Santa Ana with respect to such conflict. <br />on ictsoflnterost <br />Our representation of Garden Grove in connection with the Willowick Matter creates certain <br />conflicts of interest, in that the interests and objectives of Santa Ana may be in conflict with the <br />objectives of Garden Grove with respect to the Willowick Matter. <br />We will not be representing Santa Ana in connection with any aspect of the Willowick <br />Matter, The Santa Ana City Attorney's office has indicated that it will be engaged for the <br />representation of Santa Ana in connection with such transaction. <br />Although we do not believe representation of Garden Grove in connection with the <br />Willowick Matter will be compromised by our prior or present, if applicable representation of Santa <br />Ana, Garden Grove's interest in this transaction will obviously be adverse to that of Santa Ana. <br />Under the ethical standards discussed immediately below, we are required to bring this matter to your <br />attention and to obtain your consent before representing Garden Grove in connection with the <br />Willowick Matter. <br />NG-U9ZQVMF2/483 6-203 0-8884v 1 /022046.0000 <br />
