Create a 3D surface with constraints at both ends

Create a 3D surface with constraints at both ends

(OP)
Hi all,
     The question is about surfacing:
     I want to create a surface wall which joins two 3D surfaces (1 at top & 1 at bottom).The difficulty that there are constraints applied for this middle wall surface.
     
     For the lower end of wall surface, there is a 10 degree draft angle applied between surface & bottom surface. (relatively easy as this can be done by swept blend, or other commands)

     For the upper end of wall surface, there is a 5 degree angle between wall surface & top surface. The tricky part is that I want to make this tangent to the top surface as well, so that the overall cosmetics appearance is smooth & nice.

      Is there any practical way to do this? If you have any ideas, please let me know. I am looking forward to do this soon.

     Regards,

engmechs
