unfinished. The Parcels are owned by SilverRock under various
entities and include or will include the Montage Hotel and

foot conference center and a golf clubhouse
The anticipated scope of work will include the Sales Comparison

residential development. The residential communities can be
analyzed together or independently. The open space/common
area amenities will be analyzed separately, to the extent they
provide additional value - they may just be an amenity to the rest
of the community, with little to no standalone value. And the golf
course will be analyzed separately.

creditors and possibly various bidders.

City with respect to the disposition of its Phase II real
estate under various bidders' proposals.

price as between the Debtors and the City under various
bidders' proposals.
4. Advising the City of La Quinta and its legal counsel with
respect to the foregoing.

bankruptcy case, if needed.

presented to the client for approval.

CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT
1) Each Intended User identified herein should consider
the appraisal as only one factor together with its
independent investment considerations and
underwriting criteria in its overall investment decision.
The appraisal cannot be used by any party or for any
purpose other than the Intended User(s) identified
herein for the Intended Use described herein.
2) Unless identified expressly in this agreement, there
are no third -party beneficiaries of agreement
pertaining to the appraisal, and no other person or
entity shall have any right, benefit or interest under 8)
such agreement. The identification of a party as an
intended user of the appraisal does not mean that the
party is a third -party beneficiary of the agreement.
3) The appraisal report will be subject to our standard
Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, which will be
incorporated into the appraisal. All users of the
appraisal report are specifically cautioned to
understand the standard Assumptions and Limiting
Conditions as well as any Extraordinary Assumptions
and Hypothetical Conditions which may be employed
by the appraiser and incorporated into the appraisal.
4) C&W shall have the right to utilize its affiliates in the
performance of its services, provided that they comply
with the obligations of C&W pursuant to this
engagement.
9)
5) The appraisal report or our name may not be used in
any offering memoranda or other investment material
without the prior written consent of C&W, which may
be given at the sole discretion of C&W. Any such
consent, if given, shall be conditioned upon our
receipt of an indemnification agreement from a party
satisfactory to us and in a form satisfactory to us.
Furthermore, Client agrees to pay the fees of C&W's
legal counsel for the review of the material which is
the subject of the requested consent. C&W disclaims
any and all liability with regard to the appraisal
prepared pursuant to the engagement to any party
other than the Intended User(s). Under no
circumstances will C&W consent to the quote,
reference or inclusion of the appraisal in connection
with crowd funding activities. Further, crowd funding
investors are specifically excluded from any class of
Intended Users.
6) In the event the Client provides a copy of the
appraisal to, or permits reliance thereon by, any party
not identified herein as an Intended User, Client
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold C&W, its
affiliates and the respective shareholders, directors,
officers and employees, harmless from and against all
damages, expenses, claims and costs, including
attorneys' fees, incurred in investigating and
defending any claim arising from or in any way
connected to the use of, or reliance upon, the
appraisal by any such party.
7) The balance of the fee for the appraisal will be due
upon delivery of a report. Payment of the fee is not
contingent on the appraised value, a loan closing, or
any other prearranged condition. Additional fees will
be charged on an hourly basis for any work, which
exceeds the scope of this proposal, including
performing additional valuation scenarios, additional
research and conference calls or meetings with any
party, which exceed the time allotted by C&W for an
assignment of this nature. If we are requested to stop
working on this assignment, for any reason, prior to
our completion of the appraisal, C&W will be entitled
to bill the Client for the time expended to date at
C&W's hourly rates for the personnel involved.
If C&W or any of its affiliates or any of their respective
employees receives a subpoena or other judicial
command to produce documents or to provide
testimony involving this assignment in connection with
a lawsuit or proceeding, C&W will use reasonable
efforts to notify the Client of our receipt of same.
However, if C&W or any of its affiliates are not a party
to these proceedings, Client agrees to compensate
C&W or its affiliate for the professional time and
reimburse C&W or its affiliate for the actual expense
that it incurs in responding to any such subpoena or
judicial command, including attorneys' fees, if any, as
they are incurred. C&W or its affiliate will be
compensated at the then prevailing hourly rates of the
personnel responding to the subpoena or command
for testimony.
By signing this agreement Client expressly agrees
that its sole and exclusive remedy for any and all
losses or damages relating to this agreement or the
appraisal shall be limited to the amount of the
appraisal fee paid by the Client. In the event that the
Client, or any other party entitled to do so, makes a
claim against C&W or any of its affiliates or any of
their respective officers or employees in connection
with or in any way relating to this engagement or the
appraisal, the maximum damages recoverable from
C&W or any of its affiliates or their respective officers
or employees shall be the amount of the monies
actually collected by C&W or any of its affiliates for
this assignment and under no circumstances shall
any claim for consequential, indirect, special, punitive
or liquidated damages be made.
10) C&W disclaims any and all liability to any party with
regard to the appraisal report other than an Intended
User identified herein.
The fees and expenses shall be due C&W as agreed
in this letter. If it becomes necessary to place
collection of the fees and expenses due C&W in the
hands of a collection agent and/or an attorney
(whether or not a legal action is filed) Client agrees
to pay all fees and expenses including attorneys'
fees incurred by C&W in connection with the
collection or attempted collection thereof.
12) Unless the time period is shorter under applicable
law, any legal action or claim relating to the appraisal
or this agreement shall be filed in court (or in the
applicable arbitration tribunal, if the parties to the
dispute have executed an arbitration agreement)
within two (2) years from the date of delivery to
