The Original Agreement was made pursuant to the Act, to provide for the joint exercise of powers common to the members of the PFA, and the establishment of a vehicle to reduce local borrowing costs and promote the greater use of existing and new financial instruments and mechanisms, and undertake the financing of public capital improvements and related capital improvements and the acquisition of real and personal property for the members of the PFA and other public agencies within the State. C. Pursuant to Part 1.85 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code (enacted by Chapter 5 of the Statutes of 2011, ABX1 26), all redevelopment agencies in the State of California, including the Former Agency, dissolved as of February 1, 2012, the Successor Agency to the Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency (the "Successor Agency') was established as the successor entity to the Former Agency, and the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency (the "Oversight Board ") was constituted. D. The Successor Agency is tasked with the wind -down of the Former Agency's affairs. E. There has been prepared a First Amendment to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the "Amendment'), by and among the City, the Successor Agency and the City of Seal Beach Parking Authority (the "Parking Authority'), pursuant to which: (i) the Successor Agency will withdraw as a member of the PFA and the Parking Authority will become a new member of the PFA, and (ii) certain provisions of the Original Agreement will be updated.

S72960001\193053W.A H. The PFA has previously issued bonds, some of which remain outstanding as of the date hereof. I. The inclusion of the Parking Authority as a member to the PFA will preserve the existence of the PFA (thereby avoiding any disruption with respect to the outstanding PFA bonds), while allowing the Successor Agency to withdraw its membership.
