B. ( § 402) Determination of Purchase Price
The purchase price for the Golf Course Site ( the
"Purchase Price" ) shall be equal to its current fair market
value (without an adjacent hotel development) which value
shall be determined by appraisal in accordance with the
procedures set forth below:
1. Financial Projections of Golf Course Revenues .
Developer has presented to the City a market and
financial assessment of the proposed City Project
prepared by KPMG Peat Marwick ( "First Consultant" ) dated
June 1990 and updated by the preliminary draft of the
Financial Forecast from January 1992 to December 2001

consultant ( "Second Consultant" ) with expertise in
valuing golf courses to review the Peat Marwick Study
and to conduct such other analysis as may be required to
provide a second expert opinion certificate on financial
projections for the completed City Project ( "Financial
Projections" ) for use in connection with issuance of the
Bonds, including, without limitation, a market demand
-12-

and absorption analysis in the Palm Springs area and a
financial forecast for the City Project, both with and
without an adjacent hotel development. The identity of
the Second Consultant to be retained and paid by City,
at its expense, shall be approved by Developer and once
approved, both the City and Developer shall mutually
agree on the maximum fees to be paid to the Second
Consultant for its services. Developer shall contract ,
at its expense, for such updates and additional review
as may be required to procure an expert opinion
certificate on the Peat Marwick Study from the First
Consultant . within fifteen ( 15 ) days following
completion of both financial projections, the two
financial consultants shall meet in an effort to agree
on a single projection. If they are unable to reach
agreement within ten (10 ) days following completion of
the last financial analysis the provisions of Section
402 . 4 shall apply.
2 . Cost Estimates for City Project. Developer
has selected and City has approved Community Golf
Development, Inc. ( "CGD" ) to provide preliminary
estimates on the costs to complete the City Project on
the Golf Course Site, including, without limitation, all
predevelopment , design, permitting, processing, grading,
landscaping, constructing, installation and equipment
costs incurred before or after the Closing, together
with a reasonable contingency ( the "Improvement Cost
-13-
• 0
Estimate" ) . City and Developer shall review and approve
all information provided to CDG as the basis for
determining the Improvement Cost Estimates and the
maximum fee agreed to be paid to CGD for its services,
within thirty ( 30 ) days following execution of this
Agreement, whereupon the Developer will retain CGD at
its expense. In the event either City or Developer is
not satisfied with the Improvement Cost Estimate
determined by CGD, either City or Developer can request
City to select a second estimator , which second
estimator shall be acceptable to Developer . The City
shall retain the second estimator, at its expense,
following City and Developer ' s agreement on any updates
required to the information to be provided to the second
estimator and the maximum fee to be paid to the second
estimator . Each estimator shall be asked to provide a
detailed preliminary cost estimate reflecting all line
items and unit prices taken into account in formulating
the estimates. Within fifteen (15) days following
completion of both estimates, the estimators shall meet
to review and attempt to agree on a single estimate. If
they are unable to do so within ten (10 ) days following
completion and submission of the last of the two ( 2)
estimates, the provisions of Section 402 . 4 shall apply.
City and Developer shall each cause the Improvement Cost
Estimates to be updated by the estimator preparing the
preliminary cost estimates when final plans for the City
-14-
• o
Project have been approved by both parties and when the
Construction Agreement and all other contracts
contemplated thereunder have been finalized.
3. Aporai:aal of Golf Course Site . Within thirty
( 30) days following the date of this Agreement, City
shall select a real estate appraiser with experience in

appraiser , at its expense, following approval by City
and Developer of (a) the maximum fee to be paid to the
appraiser ; and (b) the instructions to be provided to
the appraiser . The appraiser shall be instructed to
determine, within thirty ( 30 ) days following completion
and delivery of the Financial Projection and the
Improvement Cost Estimate, the fair market value of the
completed City Project and the fair market value of the
Golf Course Site, both with and without the adjacent
hotel development more particularly described in Section
403 below. The fair market values of the Golf Course
Site, both with and without the adjacent hotel
development, shall be determined by first establishing
the fair market value of the completed City Project,
based on the projected earnings reflected in the
Financial Projection and the amount and rate of the
financing to be provided by the Bonds , and then
subtracting therefrom the Improvement Cost Estimate, (as
-15-
updated prior to the Closing) . The fair market value of
the Golf Course Site with the adjacent hotel development
shall be computed based upon the most conservative
projections of additional rounds of play to be generated
by the hotel on a per room basis, as determined by the
Financial Projections. In the event either City or
Developer is not satisfied with the first appraisals,
Developer shall select a second qualified appraiser
acceptable to City. Developer shall retain the second
appraiser, at its expense, following agreement by City
and Developer of the maximum fees to be paid to the
second appraiser . Following completion of the second
appraisal, both appraisers shall meet in an effort to
agree on a single appraisal . If they are unable to do
so within ten (10) days following completion and
submission of the last of the appraisals, the provisions
of Section 402. 4 shall apply.
4. Resolution of Discrepancies. If City and
Developer fail to mutually agree upon the Financial
Projections, Improvement Cost Estimate and/or Appraised
Values, and the first two consultants, estimators and/or
appraisers fail to mutually agree on a single
projection, estimate and/or valuation, then (a) if the
aggregate or final value or cost numbers produced by the
two consultants, estimators and appraisers vary by 10%
or less, then the average of the two amounts shall be
used; and (b) if the numbers vary by more than 10%, then
-16-
0 O
the two consultants, estimators and/or appraisers shall
mutually agree on a third consultant, estimator or
appraiser, as applicable. Upon completion of the same
analysis by the third party so chosen, the average of
the two (2) numbers closest in amount shall represent
the Financial Projection, Improvement Cost Estimate
and/or Appraised Value.
5 . Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price
of the Golf Course Site Shall be payable as follows:
(a) A "Base Purchase Price" in the amount
described in Section 406. 2 below shall be paid at
Closing;
(b) The amount by which the Purchase Price
exceeds the Base Purchase Price, if any, together with
interest thereon from the Closing until paid at the rate
received by the City on the escrowed proceeds from the
Bonds, shall be paid at such time as the net operating

accordance with Section 402 . 3; and (b) the "Designated
Percentage" of the amount, if any, by which the net operating
income of the City Project after debt service, during the one
year period following opening of the hotel, exceeds the net

clause (a) of the preceding sentence shall be payable by the
City to Developer within thirty ( 30) days after Developer ' s
written demand following the opening of not less than 225
