Introduction
The following conceptual book illustrates a comprehensive vision for a world -class resort and next generation recreational
�- experience anchored by the Kelly Slater Wave Company(" KSWC") wave technology. Led by Meriwether, the vision and conceptual
master plan designs illustrated in this book are the result of a collaborative effort between Meriwether, Sunrise Company, KSWC,
the World Surf League ("WSL"), CCY Architects and Vita Planning & Landscape Architecture. In November of 2018, Meriwether
identified the perfect site on which to develop this vision and via this conceptual book - is excited to present The Wave at Coral
Mountain (the "Project") Note: Project naming to evolve.
The site, comprising approximately 377 acres, is located in the City of La Quinta in the Coachella Valley. It sits right at the base
[— of Coral Mountain, a stunning mountain formation named after the coral fossils still visible from when the ocean covered the land
thousands of years ago. As if meant to be, The Wave at Coral Mountain will place one of the best man-made waves in the world
against a dramatic desert background where the defining characteristic used to be the ocean itself.
The prototype Wave at Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California has captured the imagination of the surfing world. Its unparalleled
(— technology, which continues to improve and evolve, is capable of producing the perfect wave that can be sized for everyone from
beginners to professionals. To some, the Surf Ranch name is synonymous with the Wave itself. Yet those who have been lucky
enough to visit Surf Ranch know that it is the palpable surf spirit of the place together with the quality of the wave that makes the
experience truly exceptional. Our goal is to honor and expand the ethos of the Surf Ranch experience, carrying it forward to a
comprehensive next generation resort development.
The next iteration of the Wave basin will improve upon the technology in Leemore but, more importantly, will be the first of its
kind constructed within a comprehensive resort development that embodies surf culture. The core components of the conceptual
C- vision for The Wave at Coral Mountain include:
F • The KSWC Wave basin (the "Wave");
C-
• 100 room full -service resort hotel;
• Next generation community with robust amenity offerings ranging from additional water sports in the Wave basin and lagoons,
to pump tracks, mountain biking, rock climbing, parkour, skate park, paddle boarding, a signature short golf course, etc.;
• Resort amenities including surf lifestyle retail outlets, multiple food and beverage outlets with farm to table elements, and
cutting -edge sport -specific training, fitness, spa, health, and wellness facilities;
• 70+ branded residences with preferred access to the Wave and Club amenities;
• Resort master plan community with up to 580 non -branded residences with access to Club amenities.

Vision
.� �• � ~� alb=� -_ " � � � -3 -
The concept for The Wave at Coral Mountain is to be the next generation master planned resort. The Wave will serve as the
anchor and the focal point of the community. The look and feel of the resort will carefully integrate the ethos of a surfing lifestyle
set against the dramatic desert backdrop of Coral Mountain. Detailed consideration ",ill be given to the orientation of elements
throughout the site to capture the beauty of the surrounding area.
With rigorous intention, the team will advance the vision outlined in this book into a thoughtful design - that handcrafts a "bare-
foot luxury" experience for our guests, owners and members. Quality and service throughout will be high, yet the atmosphere
will be warm, casual, soulful and inviting. The resort will include amenities and prograrnming that support the multi -generational
demand for wellness, fitness, action, education and adventure.
6 MERIWE HER CON PANIES
The draw and uniqueness of the Wave will be used to create a vibrant mixed -use resort experience. Access to the main wave,
will be primarily offered to three main groups: (i) overnight hotel guests, (ii) residential real estate owners and (iii) club members
and their invited guests. A wider audience will enjoy shared surfing in secondary and tertiary waves within the basin. The resort
will then amplify "the stoke"with everything from stand-up paddle boarding and rock climbing to farm to table dining, live music
and proprietary surf -related events creating a lifestyle and experience that simply does not exist in the Coachella Valley.

Opportunities

L With the Wave at its core, The Wave at Coral Mountain is poised to take advantage of differentiating characteristics that will drive
demand, and ultimately, we believe will lead to the success of the Project. A few of these include:
Growth in the Surf Industry: Surfing has an incredibly expansive global appeal and is growing at a staggering rate. It
s generates billions of dollars of economic activity. The Wave concept not only has the capability to bring that audience and
` economic impact to markets with no ocean, but to showcase a world -class surf experience to millions worldwide through
[T the WSUs digital and broadcast platforms. The Wave at Coral Mountain is positioned to capture the momentum of the
rapidly expanding surf culture and the growing number of surf participants and surf fans.
�- World Class Venture: Kelly Slater is an 11-time world surfing champion and one of the greatest surfers of all time. Kelly's
vision was to create the perfect man-made wave. Perfect or not at all. Over the course of ten years of collaboration with
[^ some of the brightest minds in aqua physics and more than 50 million dollars invested, Kelly and team made the vision
a reality, completing the private Surf Ranch facility in Lemoore, California is 2015. His namesake wave was created to
evolve the sport of surfing by making it more accessible. The World Surf League the leading organization in the surf world
�- promoting the world's best surfers, surf competition, and surf content. They are home to the Championship Tour, Junior
Tour and Long Board Tour for a total of 250+ global events in 21 countries each year. Together, KSWC and the WSL are
dedicated to growth and innovation in the sport. Their global network of facilities will provide a venue for performance
training, sanctioned competitions, and athlete exhibitions that can be watched live and broadcasted to television audiences
in ways that have never been possible before. The Wave at Coral Mountain will benefit from this global platform.
Desire for Experiential Luxury: Now more than ever, successful resorts that were once tailored to golfers and tennis
players only are striving to appeal to broader audiences of all ages. In addition, they are working to attract the next
generation of Gen X and Millennials in order to remain relevant. Among these generational groups, there are two notable
movements that are redefining resort expectations and preferences (1) luxury is about collecting authentic experiences
more so than collecting nice things, and (2) exclusive can, and should, be interactive. While there are still those who seek
privacy and solitude, a larger group of affluent consumers are looking to share unique experiences with a community of
friends and like-minded individuals. Most importantly, Gen X and Millennial travelers are willing to spend extra on curated
and meaningful experiences. Our belief is that The Wave at Coral Mountain can become one of the most coveted luxury
travel experiences in the Western US.
Coachella Valley: Billions of dollars have been invested in resort infrastructure across the Coachella Valley. In response
to trends over the past few decades, the majority of modern development in the area is characterized by master planned
private golf communities, but surprisingly there are virtually no resort offerings that appeal to primarily younger people,
non -golfers or to families. Meanwhile, the Coachella Valley hosts the annual Coachella and Stagecoach Music Festivals, as
well as major golf and tennis events at PGA West and Indian Wells, proving that there is demand in the Valley for authentic
experiences appealing to a wide range of demographics. With more than 23 million people only 2.5 hours away, The Wave
at Coral Mountain will have an exclusive, proprietary and unique experience unlike any other in the Coachella Valley.

KELLY SLATER WAVE COMPANY
l Surf Ranch started with the vision and dream of Kelly Slater, an 11-time world surfing champion and one of the greatest surfers of
all time. Kelly's vision was to create the perfect man-made wave. Perfect or not at all. Over the course often years of collaboration
with some of the brightest minds in aqua physics and more than 50 million dollars invested, Kelly and team made the vision a
�- reality, completing the private Surf Ranch facility in Lemoore, California is 2015. In 2016, the WSL acquired a majority stake in the
Kelly Slater Wave Company, putting the KSWC technology on the world surf tour map. They hosted a world surf tour competition
r on the man made wave. The KSWC and WSL partnership continues to invest in, refine, and evolve the Wave technology, which
they believe has the potential to reshape the surfing landscape for generations to come. Benefits of the brand, technology and
1 partnership include:
Exceptional Experience: The surf experience on the Wave is exceptional for every skill level, beginner to professional.
The controlled environment with in -water instruction eliminates a lot of the fear that beginners can experience in the
ocean. The repetitive nature of the basin allows for rapid evolution of surf skill at every level.
C Superior Wave Technology: KSWC's formula combines cutting edge science, engineering and design to create the
longest, open -barrel, high-performance wave in existence.
Positive Energy: It is every surfer's dream to have complete control over a perfect wave, and to share that experience
with their friends. The limited number of surfers in the water and the ability to catch each wave without conflict (paddle
races, dropping in, etc.) allows for a hassle- and stress -free surf experience. This energy is contagious and
will create excitement both in the water and throughout the resort. kswaveco.com

Andalusia West Tract
Known as the West Tract, the Site for our Project is one of the last remaining large pieces of land proximate to the mountains
in the entire Valley. It is nestled up to the base of Coral Mountain itself, behind which sits the Santa Rosa range. The cove -like
setting affords spectacular views, great sun exposure and protection from the wind. The vision is to organically integrate the
resort's facilities and programming with the natural topography around the site, and to take advantage of the direct access to
the adjacent open space.

Planning and Design Charrette

Q
Oil, �Li,
I
Our team has hosted a series of multi -day envisioning charrettes to discuss, debate and create initial project concepts and the
general business plan for a hotel resort and community anchored by the Wave. Through this process we have identified key
"Pillars of the Community" and have established "Guiding Principles", both of which lay the foundation for The Wave at Coral
Mountain master plan.
THE WAVE I DECEMBER 2018 23
Guiding Principles
Guiding Principles
A handful of Guiding Principles will drive the Project's approach to both design and programming, including:
Surf Culture: The Wave and associated surf culture is the central inspiration for the Project. The community should
encourage "board shorts and bare feet," yet still feel luxurious. Each element should expound on the surf lifestyle.
Inclusive Not Exclusive Luxury: The term seems counter intuitive, but luxury brands in real estate and retail markets are
embracing inclusivity rather than exclusivity. While the main Wave's limited capacity and cost make it inherently
exclusive, the Wave experience overall should be vibrant and welcoming.
Curiosity and Improvement: The Wave at Coral Mountain vision is a playground of experiences about which people
are undeniably curious to learn and experience. The goal is to foster this demographic trend and this innate desire
and provide anyone the ability to improve, from surfing to outdoor pursuits to wellness and beyond.
Multigenerational Sustainability: Sustainability of the built environment and the resort community are critical. Facilities
and amenities need to be focused enough to embody the vision today, while allowing flexibility to adapt to relevant
future demands. Careful thought needs to be given to the guests and owners, who could include extended families,
couples and individuals looking for luxurious adventures, groups of friends, and so on - all "jonesing" for a communal
adrenaline rush in a beautiful setting.

Pillars of the Community
Pillars of the Community
The Charrette process identified five pillars which are crucial to the success of The Wave at Coral Mountain, and which serve as
foundational elements for the master plan. These include:
The Wave: Along with surf culture, the central theme for The Wave at Coral Mountain. Featuring KSWC's best -in -class
technology, combined with an all -encompassing in and out of water surf experience that will foster learning and
improvement.
The Place: A recognition of the physical site's beauty, archeological history and it's orientation towards Coral Mountain
and the surrounding views.
The Hotel: An approachable yet upscale boutique resort hotel with a mix of traditional hotel rooms, suites, and cottages
to accommodate a wide-ranging set of potential customers.
Next Generation Amenities: A community oriented towards health, wellness and multi -generational enjoyment that will
include hiking & biking, rock climbing, skating, fitness, golf, spa and dining.
The Connectivity: A series of interesting spaces throughout the Project, intentionally designed to spur reflection or
interaction. Each will define the area or neighborhood in which it resides and will ultimately lead to the Wave. A
walkable village core, paths and trails, access to biking and indoor / outdoor experiences that celebrate the
exceptional climate and encourage outdoor living.

Conceptual Master Plan and Resort Planning
The team has taken into consideration everything previously outlined in this book - vision, opportunities, principals and pillars
— and begun the process of laying out a master plan on the land itself. The master plan is at its nascent stage and will certainly
evolve over time. Yet careful consideration has been made for the early vision centered around the Wave and emanating out
from there.
The Surf Village is the heart, soul, and central core of the plan and will include the Wave basin and lagoons, hotel and resort,
branded for -sale residences and select Club amenities. This area will provide a seamless, choreographed yet natural connection
to the Wave. Buildings and open spaces will be sited to take advantage of the south/southwest sun exposure and views that
extend to the Santa Rosa Mountains, with Coral Mountain in the foreground. Key elements are described on the following pages.

host the eventual expansion of the sport — to include amateur, high school, collegiate and other facilitated competitions. The
Project is envisioned to include facilities that are capable of hosting intimate private performances, small concerts, and mid -scale
festivals.

Next Generation Amenities
The Wave at Coral Mountain is envisioned as the next generation lifestyle community. The vision is an integrated club offering a
range of next generation amenities creating participation Jor all generations and all levels. The foundation of each offering will
be world -class and cutting -edge with associated facilities to fosterthe experience. Conceptual elements that personify this vision
include: i) mountain biking, ii) trail systems, iii) indoor and outdoor rock climbing, iv) skate and bike pump tracks, v) parkour, vi)
whole -body fitness and training including paddle boarding, vii) class programming to include yoga, spin, pilates, etc., viii) golfing
on the signature short course, ix) sports and resort focused spa elements. Additional resort amenities will foster community and
interaction, inclusive of a planned amphitheater as a small music venue.

Trails and Landscape
Trails will be the vital connective tissue, and together with roads, will create a hierarchy of transportation networks. Simple walking
trails, bike trails, and bike paths will create a more walkable, pedestrian -friendly community than is typical in the Coachella Valley.
The trails will be enhanced with "found" elements; ideas include areas for rest and relaxation, view platforms, and rope or wood
bridges. The landscape will be carefully enhanced with to add richness, warmth and privacy to neighborhoods and open spaces
and to maintain a barefoot beach vibe.

Hotel Lodging
The hotel will be a 4-star lifestyle resort designed to accommodate individuals, groups, families, and corporate gatherings.
It is envisioned to include a mix of 75 traditional hotel rooms and an additional 25 hotel owned and dedicated suites (2-3
bedrooms) in traditional hotel buildings as well as detached bungalow style cottages. The Resort will be low in scale and will
feature a quintessential modern California vibe. The intent is to deliver simple accommodations with luxurious yet casual service,
programming and retail offerings. To facilitate guest interaction, the grounds will include multiple gathering spaces for individuals
to seek relaxation or groups to congregate. A clustered series of buildings will include resort -style facilities for swimming, spa,
fitness, and group meetings, as well as branded retail and food & beverage outlets. Food offerings will include both healthy fare
and well -made comfort food complimented by a complete cocktail offering. Indoor/outdoor dining and lounge space will be
oriented to view the Wave. Resort retail will focus on surf gear and a deep apparel offering.
The programming throughout the resort will determine how guests, owners and members experience the resort and will be
thoughtful executed in what we refer to as the "anatomy of a visit." Consideration is given to every detail - booking, arrival,
check -in, amenity access, wayfinding, usage of resort facilities, interactions with staff and guests, food & beverage, in -room
comfort, etc. All aspects of the resort will be designed with operations in mind so delivering a world -class experience to surfers
and non -surfers alike is seamless.

Branded Residential
The Wave and associated Club amenities will create enthusiasts and loyalists who we anticipate will convert to buyers of residential
real estate. The real estate offering will be generally divided into two categories: Branded Residential within Surf Village, and
Master Plan Residential outside the central core. Access to the Wave and other VIP perks will be limited to 70 or so branded
owners, club members and hotel guests.
Homes will be clustered to achieve a village feel but will sit "softly" on the land in harmony with nature. Front porches will
welcome and engage neighbors and shaded areas will provide shelter and protection to erase the boundary between inside and
out, even on hot summer days. Natural textures, tone and materials with blend with the desert and a barefoot sophistication will
embody the understated surf vibe.
The residential component of the Project, similar to other communities throughout the Coachella Valley, will primarily attract
second home buyers. Justification for second home real estate purchases today increasingly includes the ability to offset costs
by renting the home out during unused times. The resort will offer a turn -key rental program for branded residential owners,
with short- and long-term stays marketed and operated through the hotel platform.

THE WAVE I DECEMBER 2018 49
(- Non -Branded Residential
The land outside of the Surf Village is contemplated to be an expanding residential community appealing to likeminded residents
who are attracted to the lifestyle defined by the resort and club. Current plans envision up to 580 residences which will have
access to the club and extensive non -Wave amenities. A collection of active and passive open spaces and amenities will connect
neighborhoods through easy and accessible walking and golf cart trails to the resort core. The incorporation of bodies of water
such as lagoons and canals will expand water -sport ethos outward from the Wave the throughout the rest of the community.

PLANNING & ENTITLEMENTS
City of La Quinta Entitlements
Andalusia West Tract is a part of the Andalusia at Coral Mountain, City of La Quinta ("City") approved Specific Plan 03-067,
as amended' (the generally, the "Entitlements" or specifically, the "Specific Plan"), which allows for the development and
construction of 1,400 homes, two 18 hole golf courses, club facilities, neighboring commercial development and supporting
infrastructure across 934 acres. The Entitlements are shared between Andalusia West Tract and Andalusia (East Tract). The zoning
designation for the approved Specific Plan is low density residential ("LDR") which affords up to 4 residential units per acre. The
1,400 residential units are to be distributed within a gross area of approximately 497 acres divided between Andalusia West Tract
and Andalusia (East Tract). Golf Course/Open Space within the approved Specific Plan is approved to occupy approximately 421
acres of the overall 934 acres distributed between Andalusia West Tract and Andalusia (East Tract).

Andalusia West Tract Project proposes a total of 750 units with a blended mixture of hotel units and residential units. There are
650 residential units reserved for Andalusia East Tract and when combined the total 1,400 proposed unit count for both the
east and west sides is consistent with the existing approved Entitlement unit and density limitations. Further, the Andalusia
West Tract Project proposal incorporates significant open space/recreation uses/amenities/golf course/greenspace to satisfy the
overall requirement of approximately 40% Open Space for the Andalusia West Tract Project and an overall blended average
Open Space requirement of 50% for the Specific Plan (e.g. Andalusia West Tract and Andalusia (East Tract) combined).

City of La Quinta Entitlements (cont).
Clearly, the introduction of a hotel use into the Project mix will require further study for the impacts to traffic, noise and light'.
However, given the proposed Project's ❑verall consistency with the density, unit count and Open Space requirements of the
Specific Plan and the belief that Project's impacts t❑ traffic, noise and light are either insignificant or can be appropriately
mitigated in a specific plan amendment, tentative map and site development plan processes, we suggest to the City that the
process for entitlement for the proposed Project be simply an amendment to Specific Plan 03-067 and/or a Site Development
Permit and/or in addition, an addendum to E1R 232 (e.g. AEIR) which incorporates the revised studies.' We look to the City to
define the process and timing for implementing the Project in the next few weeks.
THE WAVE I DECEMBER 2018 57
PLANNING & ENTITLEMENTS
As part of the approvals for the Specific Plan, the developer entered into an agreernent with Coachella Valley Water District
("CVWD") for water service to Andalusia at Coral Mountain via the Domestic Water, Sanitation System Installation and Irrigation
Service Agreement, dated January 19, 2005, and recorded January 31, 2005 as Instrument No. 2005-0087385 ("CVWD
Agreement") and assigned to Sunrise LQ, LLC which assignment recorded as Instrument No. 2018-0421847 on October 25,
2018 ("Assignment to CVWD Agreement"). The CVWD Agreement provides for the issuance of meters for 1,600 units and two
18 hole golf courses upon the completion of certain improvements by the developer which are specifically described in Exhibit
B to the Assignment to CVWD Agreement.
As discussed above, the Project density and unit count are within the requirements of the approved Entitlements. The Project unit
water meter requirements are within the number of available unit water meters to be prOVided by CVWD upon the completion of
the improvements required by the CVWD Agreement and the Assignment thereto. The hotel use will not result in an increase in
water usage on a per unit basis, if anything, the water use should decrease when taking into account the hotel use. Further, the
Developer will provide water studies to illustrate that the water requirements for the "Wave" are in fact significantly lower than
the golf acreage it is replacing versus the approved Entitlements and CVWD Agreement. Based on the final proposed water
usage and unit counts, the number of well sites can be finalized and located in accordance with CVWD policies. Accordingly, the
Developer believes that no changes to the CVWD Agreement or the Assignment to the CVWD Agreement should be required
by CVWD. Developer looks to CVWD for concurrence and direction on the studies required to substantiate this.
Imperial Irrigation District
Imperial Irrigation District ("IID") has agreed to serve the energy requirements for the approved Specific Plan. Developer believes
that the Project energy requirements for the hotel and residential uses are the same or will be less than originally anticipated in
the Entitlements. Clearly, however, the energy requirements for the Wave need to be considered and discussed with IID. The
question is whether or not the energy requirements for the Wave can be provided by IID without the implementation of any
addition improvements. If not, what are those improvements and who will be responsi ole for their construction? What types of
studies will be required by IID to make such a determination, what is the process and how long is the process to make such a
determination?
(1) Specific Plan 03-067 also includes Environmental Assessment (EA) 2003-483 Mitigated Negative Dec aration, General Plan Amendment 2003-
93, various Amendments of Specific Plan 2018 and Specific Plan 03-067, Environmental Impact Report (EIR) 232 and the corresponding appendices,
Addenda to EIR (AEIR) 232 and its corresponding appendices and Site Development Permits.
(2)Water is discussed under the CVWD Section.
(3) A supplemental or subsequent EIR (SEIR) may be required if another discretionary approval is being considered and (a) there are substantial changes
to the project; (b) there are substantial changes in the project's circumstances; or (c) new information that could not have been known at the time the
EIR was certified becomes available and such changes or new information require.major revisions to the previous EIR due to significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Pub. Res. Code §21166; CA. Code of Reg, §§15162(a),
(b). If none of the three triggers for an SEIR exist, then an agency may use an addendum to make chances or additions to the prior EIR or negative
declaration. CA Code of Reg §§ 15164(a), (b).
