**MASTERWORKS 204, LLC**

Preliminary Offering Circular

January 4, 2023

Subject to Completion

![](logo_001.jpg)

**33,300 Class A ordinary shares**

Representing Class A Limited Liability Company Interests

**$666,000** **Maximum Offering Amount**

Masterworks 204, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed to facilitate an investment in a single work of art by KAWS, entitled "xDxIxRxTx xDxIxSxCxOxTxHxExQxUxEx" (the "Artwork" or the "Painting") as described in an art purchase agreement, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 6.3 to the offering statement of which this offering circular is an integral part. We believe that, for many investors, our Class A shares represent an effective means to gain economic exposure to the Artwork and, by extension, to the fine art market.

We are offering up to $666,000 of our Class A shares representing Class A limited liability company interests, at an offering price of $20.00 per Class A share in a "Tier 2" offering under Regulation A (the "Offering"). We expect to offer Class A shares in this Offering until we raise the maximum amount being offered. The maximum offering period is 24 months from the date of commencement, but we reserve the right to terminate this Offering for any reason at any time prior to the initial closing. Subscriptions will be accepted on a rolling basis and the initial closing of the Offering and the final closing of the Offering will occur on a date or dates determined by the Company in its discretion. This Offering will commence on the date this Offering is qualified by the SEC. If any of the Class A shares offered remain unsold as of the final closing, such Class A shares shall be issued to Masterworks, in full satisfaction of its advance and the true-up as described in this Offering Circular. There is no minimum number of Class A shares or dollar amount that needs to be sold as a condition of any closing of this Offering. Subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable by investors but can be rejected by us.

The Company has not engaged commissioned sales agents or underwriters and we plan to distribute the Offering through the Masterworks Platform (as defined below). See "Plan of Distribution" in this Offering Circular for additional information.

Our affiliate Masterworks.io, LLC owns an online investment platform located at https://www.masterworks.com/ (the "Masterworks Platform") that allows investors to acquire ownership of an interest in special purpose companies that invest in distinct artworks or a collection of artworks. Once an investor establishes a user profile on the Masterworks Platform, they can browse and screen potential artwork investments, view details of an investment and sign contractual documents online.

We do not currently intend to list the Class A shares for trading on a national securities exchange. We intend to facilitate secondary sales of Class A shares on an alternative trading system operated by Templum Markets LLC, referred to as the "Templum ATS," commencing on or after the three-month anniversary of the date this Offering is fully subscribed. No assurance can be given that the Templum ATS will provide an effective means of selling your Class A shares or that the price at which any Class A shares are sold through the Templum ATS will be reflective of the fair value of the Class A shares or the Artwork.

No sales of Class A shares will be made prior to the qualification of the Offering Statement by the SEC. All Class A shares will be offered in all jurisdictions at the same price that is set forth in this offering circular.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) We have not engaged underwriters in connection with this Offering. The Company intends to distribute the Offering through the Masterworks Platform. See the
 section entitled **"** Plan of Distribution" beginning on page 29 of this offering circular for additional information.

(2) This amount does not include estimated offering expenses, all of which
will be paid by Masterworks rather than from the net proceeds of the Offering.

(3) Assumes that the maximum aggregate offering amount of $666,000
 is received by us.

The Class A shares are to be offered through the Masterworks Platform. Neither Masterworks.io, LLC nor any other affiliated entity involved in the offer and sale of the Class A shares is currently a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and no person associated with us will be deemed to be a broker solely by reason of his or her participation in the sale of the Class A shares.

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this Offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to *<u>www.investor.gov</u>*. We retain complete discretion to determine that subscribers are "qualified purchasers" (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act) in reliance on the information and representations provided to us regarding their financial situation.

**An investment in the Class A shares is subject to certain risks and should be made only by persons or entities able to bear the risk of and to withstand the total loss of their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider and review the information under the heading "Risk Factors" beginning on page 11.**

The SEC does not pass upon the merits of or give its approval to any securities offered or the terms of the Offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering circular or other solicitation materials. These securities are offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); however, the SEC has not made an independent determination that the securities offered are exempt from registration.

We expect that our operations will not cause us to meet the definition of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), because (1) at all times our sole assets will consist only of cash and a single work of art referred to herein as the "Artwork," neither of which is deemed to be a "security" for purposes of the 1940 Act, and (2) at all times we will not be engaged primarily in owning, holding, investing or trading in "securities" (as such term is used for purposes of the 1940 Act).

This offering circular is part of an offering statement that we filed with the SEC, using a continuous offering process pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning that while the offering of securities is continuous, active sales of securities may happen sporadically over the term of the offering. Further, the acceptance of subscriptions, whether via the Masterworks Platform or otherwise, may be briefly paused at times to allow us to effectively and accurately process and settle subscriptions that have been received. Periodically, we will provide an offering circular supplement that may add, update or change information contained in this offering circular. Any statement that we make in this offering circular will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement made by us in a subsequent offering circular supplement. The offering statement we filed with the SEC includes exhibits that provide more detailed descriptions of the matters discussed in this offering circular. You should read this offering circular and the related exhibits filed with the SEC and any offering circular supplement, together with additional information contained in our annual reports, semi-annual reports and other reports and information statements that we will file periodically with the SEC. See the section entitled "Where You Can Find More Information" below for more details.

Our principal office is located at 225 Liberty Street, 29<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, New York 10281 and our phone number is (203) 518-5172. Our corporate website address is located at www.masterworks.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, the website is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this offering circular.

This offering circular is following the offering circular format described in Part II of Form 1-A.

**The date of this offering circular is ______, 2022.**

Furthermore, except as required by law, we are under no duty to, and do not intend to, update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this offering circular, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

**STATE LAW EXEMPTION AND PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS**

Our Class A shares are being offered and sold only to "qualified purchasers" (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, this Offering is exempt from state law "Blue Sky" review, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Class A shares offered hereby are offered and sold only to "qualified purchasers" or at a time when our Class A shares are listed on a national securities exchange. "Qualified purchasers" include: (i) "accredited investors" under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our Class A shares does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor's subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a "qualified purchaser" for purposes of Regulation A.

To determine whether a potential investor is an "accredited investor" for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the "qualified purchaser" definition, the investor must be a natural person who:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. has
 a net worth, or joint net worth with the person's spouse or spousal equivalent, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the
 purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person; *<u>or</u>* 

2. had
 earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse or spousal equivalent exceeding
 $300,000 for those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year; *<u>or</u>* 

3. is
 holding in good standing one or more professional certifications or designations or credentials from an accredited educational institution
 that the SEC has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status; *<u>or</u>* 

4. is
 a "family client," as defined by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, of a family office meeting the requirements in
 Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and whose prospective investment in the issuer is directed by such family office pursuant to Rule 501(a)
 of Regulation D.

For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a "qualified purchaser," annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the "accredited investor" definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investor's home, home furnishings and automobiles.

**SUMMARY**

*This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this offering circular. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the Class A shares. You should read this entire offering circular carefully, especially the risks of investing in the Class A shares discussed under "Risk Factors," before making an investment decision.*

 

**Overview**

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on October 17, 2022 to facilitate an investment in the Artwork. Masterworks will manage all maintenance and entity-level administrative services relating to the Artwork and the Company. We will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to an investment in, maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the Artwork. Our strategy will be to display and promote the Artwork so as to enhance its value and broaden its exposure to the art-viewing public.

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 96 inches by 96 inches, in a privately negotiated transaction from a private gallery for $600,000 on December 20, 2022. The acquisition of the Artwork by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that is wholly-owned by the Company is planned to occur on or before the initial closing of this Offering.

We are offering up to 33,300 Class A shares in this Regulation A+ Offering for aggregate proceeds of up to $666,000.

We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow unless and until the Artwork is sold and no profits will be realized by investors unless they are able to sell their Class A shares or the Artwork is sold. We will be totally reliant on Masterworks for entity-level and asset management services and the payment of all ordinary and routine operating costs, including those relating to our Company and the Artwork.

**The Artist**

Brooklyn-based artist Brian Donnelly, better known by the pseudonym KAWS, was born in 1974 in Jersey City, New Jersey. In elementary school, he became interested in graffiti and took to copying imagery on paper, soon adopting the name "KAWS" as his moniker. In the early 1990s, Donnelly moved to New York City and developed his now iconic Graffiti style. Around this time, KAWS began to modify stolen advertisements on the city's phone booths and bus shelters, replacing the faces of fashion models with his signature characters. This takeover of the city's advertising infrastructure brought him fame beyond the countercultural world of graffiti. KAWS received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) and after his graduation in 1996, began to work as a freelance artist for Disney, where he created animated background imagery for film and television. In 1999, the artist's first solo exhibition was held at Colette in Paris. One of the early iterations of Donnelly's recurring characters is the Companion, an altered version of the Mickey Mouse character, which was first produced in 1999 as a limited edition toy made in collaboration with Japanese streetwear brand, Bounty Hunter.

Over the past few years, the art market has caught up with popular culture and the demand for KAWS' work has grown on a global scale. From 2008 to 2019, the artist was represented by Perrotin gallery, who mounted nine solo exhibitions across their international locations, and he is currently represented by Skarstedt gallery. The artist has also been the subject of several international exhibitions, including "OriginalFake," which took place in 2003 at the BAPE Gallery in Tokyo, "KAWS: DOWN TIME" at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA and the 2020 collaboration with Acute Art titled "EXPANDED HOLIDAY," a two week long exhibition of virtual reality artworks which took place simultaneously in twelve major cities across the world. A retrospective of the artist's work was mounted at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne Australia in 2019 through 2020. In 2021, the Brooklyn Museum opened "KAWS: WHAT PARTY," a comprehensive survey show, featuring over 100 works and several new pieces. As of January 4, 2023, the top auction records for KAWS are led by "The Kaws Album" (2005), which sold for $14,772,676 at Sotheby's Hong Kong on April 1, 2019, followed by "Untitled (Kimpsons)" (2004), which sold for $7,378,854 at Sotheby's Hong Kong on October 6, 2019, and "The Walk Home" (2012), which sold for $5,955,000 at Phillips New York on May 16, 2019.

**The Painting**

● The Painting is a characteristic, large-scale example that exemplifies KAWS' ongoing adaptation of the visual icons in American animation and Pop culture.

● Executed in 2011, the Painting is an example of the artist's ongoing tondo series. Deriving from the Italian "rotondo" or "round," and a typical format employed by Renaissance painters, the circular-shaped canvas emphasizes the subject and contains it within the frame.

● KAWSBob's enlarged eyes and abstracted form appears buoyed behind a colorful, dynamic composition of unmoored planks and bricks that fill the frame and visually appear to jut outward, extending beyond the compositional edges and into the viewer's space.

● With its simplified detail, crisp lines and saturated colors, the Painting appears precise and evenly rendered, as if lifted directly from a television screen or comic strip.

● Measuring at approximately eight feet in diameter, the Painting is among KAWS' larger, more immersive formats.

● The Painting's subject, format and composition make it a commercial and desirable work by KAWS.

**Highlights**

● Attractive historical price appreciation for similar works to the Painting: 14.6% CAGR implied from selected sales occurring from February 9, 2016 to June 22, 2022.<sup>(1)</sup>

● Moderate auction track-record with 13 years of transaction history and a moderate level of auction volume based on $31.4 million in total sales over the previous year ending on December 31, 2021.<sup>(2)</sup>

**Notes:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Implied
 annualized price appreciation based on 10 sales of works by KAWS, that are similar to the Painting and based on publicly available
 auction records.

2. Based
 on publicly available auction records as tracked by third-party data sources.

**The Art Market** 

*The Art Market*

 

The global art market is comprised of a network of auction houses, dealers, galleries, advisors, agents, individual collectors, museums, public institutions, and various experts and service providers engaged in the purchase and sale of unique and collectible works of art. We estimate that the total value of artwork held by private collectors is approximately $1.7 trillion, based on data included in the *Deloitte Art and Finance Report 2019*. Over the past decade, total estimated annual art sales have ranged from $50.1 billion to $68.2 billion and have grown at approximately 20% from 2006 through 2021.

Through the first half of 2022, global auction sales from Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips totalled $7.4 billion in the first half of 2022, up 25% from $5.9 billion in the first half 2021 and over 300% from $1.8 billion in the first half of 2020. This rise in sales puts the premium end of the auction market at its highest level ever for the first six months of 2022. The only slowdown seemed to come from digital sales. After leveraging online platforms during the pandemic, the auction houses' return to physical sales has slowed the growth of the Online-Only auction market. The three houses combined generated $437.7 million in Online-Only sales in the first half of 2022, which was down from $670.7 million during the same period in 2021 but still an increase from 2020, when Online-Only sales in the first half of the year totaled $394.7 million. Despite the moderate slow down, the major auction houses seem committed to building out their digital sale capabilities as a record 326,000 lots sold in the first half of 2022 versus 313,400 in the first half of 2021.

In general, the global art market is influenced by the overall strength and stability of the global economy, geopolitical conditions, capital markets and world events, all of which may affect the willingness of potential buyers and sellers to purchase and sell art. While the global art market is large, its exact size is unknown and statistical data is inconsistent. Much of the uncertainty stems from differing estimates of the size of the private dealer and gallery market, which is based on survey data, but disparities also exist in reported auction sales.

*Observations on the Historical Progression of Art Prices*

The following are general observations based on a repeat-sales index of historical art market prices computed based on a value weighted-basis and focused on the Post-War & Contemporary Art category, as developed by Masterworks:

● The Post-War & Contemporary Art category showed price appreciation at an estimated annualized rate of 13.3% from the year ended December 31, 1995 to June 30, 2022, versus 9.1% for the S&P 500 Index (includes dividends reinvested) for the same period.

● Correlation factor of 0.06 between Post-War & Contemporary Art and the S&P 500 Index based on annual price performance from the year ended December 31, 1995 to June 30, 2022.

● Resilience of art market transaction volume through periods of financial stress (e.g., 2001-2, 2008-9, 2020).

● We believe these above characteristics present the investment case for art as a possible risk diversifier.

**Management Services**

Pursuant to a management services agreement between us, Masterworks Cayman and Masterworks, to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the Offering, the Administrator will fund our ongoing operating costs and expenses and manage all management services relating to our business and the Artwork. In exchange for these services and as reimbursement for ordinary and necessary management costs and expenses, we will issue Class A preferred shares to the Administrator at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum, commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. These Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement. There is no overall limit to the number of shares that may be issued to pay these fees. Any extraordinary or non-routine costs, payments and expenses, if any, relating to our Company or the Artwork will be paid for by the Administrator, but will be reimbursed by us upon the sale of the Artwork. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time.

**Acquisition of the Artwork**

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 96 inches by 96 inches, in a privately negotiated transaction from a private gallery for $600,000 on December 20, 2022. The acquisition of the Artwork by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that is wholly-owned by the Company is planned to occur on or before the initial closing of this Offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this Offering to contribute to a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman to acquire the Artwork, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Masterworks will advance such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with any unsold Class A shares, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. No interest will accrue on the Masterworks advance. Following the initial closing, title to the Artwork will be held in such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman. The Artwork will be the only asset of the segregated portfolio, and we will be the only shareholder of that segregated portfolio.

**Sale of the Artwork or the Class A shares**

We, in our sole and absolute discretion, will be able to execute a sale of the Artwork at any time and in any manner and, after distribution of the proceeds of such sale, we intend to liquidate our Company. The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. There is no guaranty that any such means for holders of Class A shares to sell those shares or any sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time.

**Organizational Structure**

The following diagram reflects the planned organizational structure and the material relationships between us and Masterworks that will exist following the Offering:

![](form1-a_001.jpg)

\*All entities are Delaware limited liability companies, except Masterworks Cayman, SPC, which is a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) "Masterworks.io"
 refers to our affiliate Masterworks.io, LLC, which owns the Masterworks Platform at <u>www.masterworks.com</u> which will facilitate
 online investment in connection with this Offering and facilitates similar offerings for other companies. Scott W. Lynn, the founder
 and Chief Executive Officer of Masterworks, has effective control over Masterworks.

(2) "Masterworks
 Investor Services" refers to Masterworks Investor Services, LLC, which conducts investor
 relations services. Masterworks Investor
 Services is not a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940,
 a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act, or licensed under any state securities
 laws. Masterworks Investor Services acts as an agent of Masterworks Administrative Services,
 LLC and all services performed by Masterworks Investor Services are covered by the management
 services agreement (See Note 4). Masterworks Investor Services receives no compensation or
 reimbursement from the Company or investors.

(3) Masterworks Administrative Services, LLC or the "Administrator" will operate the Masterworks Platform
and will perform management services for us and Masterworks Cayman pursuant to the management services agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) "Masterworks Gallery" refers to Masterworks Gallery, LLC, which,
indirectly (through a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman), owns 100% of our membership interests prior to giving effect to the
Offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this Offering to contribute to a segregated portfolio
of Masterworks Cayman to acquire the Artwork, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Masterworks Gallery
will advance to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork any additional funds required to consummate
the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with any unsold Class A shares, if any, will be contributed to the
segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used as repayment of the advance and payment of the
true up.

(5) The Company intends to hold title to the Artwork in a segregated portfolio
of a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company ("Masterworks Cayman"). The Artwork will be the only asset of the segregated
portfolio, and we will be the only shareholder of that segregated portfolio. A segregated portfolio company registered under the Cayman
Islands Companies Law is a single legal entity which may establish internal segregated portfolios. Each portfolio's assets and liabilities
are legally separated from the assets and liabilities of the Masterworks Cayman ordinary account and are also separate from assets and
liabilities attributed to Masterworks Cayman's other segregated portfolios. This means that a creditor of Masterworks Cayman will
only be entitled to recover against assets attributed and credited to the specific segregated portfolio to which the contract is also
attributed. The segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman holding title to the Artwork does not intend to enter into any contracts or
incur any liabilities, except as may be necessary in connection with a sale of the Artwork.

An investment in the Class A shares includes a number of risks and uncertainties which are described in the "Risk Factors" section of this offering circular, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Risks Related to Our Business Model**. Our business model is relatively new and untested and we do not plan to generate any material
 amount of revenues. Our strategy is to own the Artwork for an extended period of time and sell it at a profit, but no assurance
 can be given that we will be able to sell the Artwork at a profit or the timing of any such sale.

● **Risks Associated with an Investment in a Company owning Fine Art**. Artwork can be highly illiquid and investors must be prepared to
 hold their investment for an extended period of time. The Artwork may decline in value or may not appreciate sufficiently to exceed
 management fees and expenses. There are a variety of other risks to art investing, including, without limitation, the risk of
 claims that the artwork is not authentic, physical damage and market risks for any particular artist or work.

● **Risks Relating to Our Relationship with Masterworks**. Since we have minimal liquid assets, we are totally reliant on Masterworks to
 administer our business. If Masterworks were to cease operations for any reason it would be difficult for us to find a replacement
 administrator and we would likely be required to sell the Artwork and dissolve the Company. In addition, since Masterworks owns
 Class B shares, which represent "profits interests" and earns fees in the form of Class A preferred shares and incurs
 maintenance expenses relating to the administration of our business, Masterworks may have economic interests that diverge from your
 interests. After the one-year anniversary of the qualification of the Offering Statement for this Offering, Masterworks may offer to
 sell any Class A shares beneficially owned by Masterworks or any entity administered by Masterworks and any such secondary offering
 may make it more difficult for you to sell your Class A shares and could adversely affect the price at which you can sell your Class
 A shares on the Templum ATS. Also, a Masterworks affiliate may invest in this Offering and may acquire the Class C share, which
 gives it the right to remove and replace our board of managers.

● **R** **isks Related to Ownership of the Class A shares and the Offering.** Investors in this Offering will have limited voting rights and Masterworks and its affiliates will have significant discretion to
 operate the business and sell the Artwork. In addition, Class A shares held by Masterworks and certain electing shareholders are
 non-voting, but will become voting shares upon sale, which makes it difficult to predict or determine the aggregate voting power
 represented by your shares at any given point in time. In addition, although we intend to facilitate secondary sales of Class A shares
 on the Templum ATS, the Templum ATS will have significant limitations and the Class A shares may be illiquid.

All Class A shares will be offered everywhere in the world at the same U.S. dollar price that is set forth in this offering circular. |
| **Masterworks Investor** | Masterworks intends to sponsor affiliated entities that invest in a portfolio of artwork, which may include an investment in our Class A shares, which is referred to herein as a "Masterworks Investor". Any such investment by a Masterworks Investor in our Class A shares in connection with this Offering, would be made for cash consideration at the same price and upon the same terms as offered to other investors in this Offering, although the Masterworks Investor would also be issued a Class C share upon its investment in our Class A shares (unless a Class C share is already issued to a Masterworks Investor), which would entitle it to remove and or replace all or any members of the Board of Managers and reconstitute the Board for any reason. |
| **Voting Rights** | The Class A shares have no voting rights other than to vote, as a single class, to remove and replace the Administrator and to remove a member of the Board of Managers for "cause" only. Holders of Class A shares also have the right to and approve certain acts as described in our operating agreement, including the right to vote on certain amendments to the operating agreement and the management services agreement. The Class A preferred shares have no voting rights.

The remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with any unsold Class A shares, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. |

**DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE**

The Offering size equals the sum of (a) the estimated purchase price that Masterworks anticipates paying for the Artwork, $600,000, plus (b) approximately 11% of such amount (approximately 10% of the maximum aggregate offering amount), or $66,000 as an upfront payment, or "true-up" payable to Masterworks. The initial price per Class A share was randomly determined by Masterworks and is calculated by dividing (1) the Offering size by (2) 33,300, which is the maximum number of Class A shares that will be sold in this Offering (or issued to Masterworks if any remain unsold).

Masterworks Gallery owns 1,000 Class B shares, representing a 20% "profits interest" in the Company and will own Class A shares if and to the extent the Offering is not fully subscribed, since any unsold Class A shares will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. Masterworks determined the amount of the true-up by considering the services provided by it and costs incurred by it which are not otherwise reimbursed by the Company or Class A shareholders, including: (i) sourcing services, such as identification of the seller, research, analysis, evaluation, inspection, appraisal, due diligence and transaction negotiation and execution services to acquire the Artwork; (ii) commitments of Masterworks capital to finance the acquisition of the Artwork, and (iii) other administrative services and costs. The true-up is the only expense incurred by the Company and the only expense directly or indirectly incurred by investors in this Offering associated with sourcing and financing the Artwork and no other expense is directly or indirectly paid by the Company or investors in connection with the organization of the Company, the securitization of the Artwork or in connection with this Offering, including the marketing and underwriting of this Offering. Prior to this Offering, no public market exists for the Class A shares, and there can be no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the Class A shares. The Company believes that based on the arms-length ultimate purchase price of the Artwork, historical appreciation rates of similar artworks by the same artist and other factors, the per share offering price will constitute a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the Class A shares as of the date of this Offering Circular.

**DISTRIBUTION POLICY**

We have not declared or paid dividends on the Class A shares since our formation and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future on any shares, unless and until the Artwork is sold, at which point we will pay any expenses for which we are responsible and make a liquidating distribution to our shareholders in accordance with our operating agreement. There can be no assurance as to the timing of a liquidating distribution or that we will pay a liquidating distribution at all. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends and if any are to be paid in the future, such decision will be at the discretion of our Board of Managers and will depend on our then current financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Managers.

**RISK FACTORS**

The purchase of the Class A shares offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. Each prospective investor should consult his, her or its own counsel, accountant and other advisors as to legal, tax, business, financial, and related aspects of an investment in the securities offered hereby. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following specific risk factors, in addition to the other information set forth in this offering circular, before purchasing the securities offered hereby.

**Risks Related to our Business Model**

***The Company is a new company and our business model is untested.***

The Company is a new company that was formed on October 17, 2022 and had no operating history. We cannot make any assurance that our business model can be successful. Since inception, the scope of our operations has been limited to our formation. Our operations will be dedicated to acquiring and maintaining the Artwork and facilitating the ultimate sale of the Artwork. We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow until the Artwork is sold and no profits will be realized by our investors unless the Artwork is sold for more than we acquire it for and there are sufficient funds after all applicable costs and expenses in order to effectuate a distribution to holders of our Class A shares. Few companies other than Masterworks entities have issued securities that represent indirect ownership in an artwork with the sole goal of realizing appreciation on the value of that artwork. It is difficult to predict whether this business model will succeed or if there will ever be any profits realized from an investment in the Class A shares.

***We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues and rely on the Administrator to fund our operations.***

We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow unless and until the Artwork is sold. No profits can be realized by our investors unless the Artwork is sold for more than we acquire it and there are sufficient funds to effectuate a distribution after paying the applicable costs, fees and expenses, or the investors sell their Class A shares. Accordingly, we will be completely reliant on Masterworks to fund our operations.

***We are extremely undiversified since our strategy is to achieve capital appreciation from a single work of art.***

Our Company was formed to facilitate an investment in, maintain and potentially sell the Artwork. We will not invest in any other artwork or assets or conduct any other operations that could generate income. Such lack of diversification creates a concentration risk that may make an investment in the Class A shares riskier than an investment in a diversified pool of assets or business with more varied operations. Aggregate returns realized by investors are expected to correlate to the change in value of the Artwork, which may not correlate to changes in the overall art market or any segment of the art market.

***The Artwork may be sold at a loss or at a price that results in a distribution that is below the purchase price of the Class A shares, or no distribution at all.***

Any sale of the Artwork could be effected at an inopportune time, at a loss and or at a price that would result in a distribution of cash that is less than the price paid by investors to purchase our Class A shares. We intend to hold the Artwork for an extended period of time and may choose to sell the Artwork opportunistically if market conditions are favorable, which we believe is necessary to achieve optimal returns. Although the value of the Artwork may decline in the future, we have no current intention nor economic incentive to sell the Artwork at a loss. In the future, we may elect to do so if we determine that such a transaction would be necessary to satisfy our fiduciary obligations to our shareholders. Lastly, circumstances may arise that may compel us to sell the Artwork at an inopportune time and potentially at a loss, such as if we face litigation, regulatory challenges or if Masterworks ceases to exist. Investors should be prepared to hold their Class A shares for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares can ever be resold or that the Artwork can ever be sold or that any sale would occur at a price that would result in a distribution of more than $20.00 per Class A share.

***The timing and potential price of a sale of the Artwork are impossible to predict, so investors need to be prepared to own the Class A shares for an uncertain or even indefinite period of time.***

We intend to hold the Artwork for an indefinite period, although the Artwork will be perpetually available for sale following the Offering and we will evaluate any reasonable third party offers to acquire the Artwork. In addition, the occurrence of certain events may compel us to sell the Artwork. Accordingly, a risk of investing in the Class A shares is the unpredictability of the timing of a sale of the Artwork and the unpredictability of funds being available for cash distribution and investors should be prepared for both the possibility they will not receive a cash distribution for many years, if ever, and the contrary possibility that they may receive a cash distribution at any time following the completion of the Offering. An investment in the Class A shares is unsuitable for investors that are not prepared to hold their Class A shares for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares can ever be resold or that the Artwork can be sold within any specific timeframe, or at all.

***Our business model involves certain costs, some of which are to be paid for in the issuance of equity which will have a dilutive effect on the holders of our Class A shares and has priority upon a liquidating event.***

There are various services required to administer our business and maintain the Artwork. Pursuant to a management services agreement among us, Masterworks Cayman and the Administrator to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the Offering, the Administrator will manage all entity-level and asset management services relating to our business and the maintenance of the Artwork. The Administrator will pay all ordinary and necessary costs and expenses associated with the administration of our business and maintenance of the Artwork. Because we do not expect to maintain cash reserves or generate any cash flow, we will be completely reliant on the Administrator to fund our operations. In exchange for these services and incurring these costs and expenses, the Administrator will receive equity interests in us in the form of Class A preferred shares. These equity issuances to Masterworks will, subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement, effectively result in dilution of 1.5% per annum to Class A shareholders in their indirect ownership of the Artwork. Such dilutive issuances, which will commence following the final closing of the Offering, will have a dilutive effect on the holders of our Class A shares and will effectively reduce the tangible book value per Class A share over time. In addition, we remain responsible to reimburse the Administrator for third-party costs associated with extraordinary or non-routine services. Accordingly, while ordinary costs and expenses are fixed pursuant to the management services agreement, investors may suffer losses or a reduction of returns associated with extraordinary or non-routine costs and expenses. In addition, the holders of Class A preferred shares have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over the holders of Class A ordinary shares. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the Administrator (or an affiliate of the Administrator that holds the Class A preferred shares) would receive liquidation proceeds, if any, prior to the holders of Class A ordinary shares.

***In the event we are able to sell the Artwork, your potential investment returns will be lower than the actual appreciation in value of the Artwork due to applicable commissions, fees and expenses.***

In the event the Artwork is sold, your distribution of cash proceeds will be reduced by commissions, fees and expenses incurred as a result of administering, marketing and selling the Artwork, as well as dilution from Class A share issuances to the Administrator pursuant to the management services agreement. Transaction costs incurred as part of the sale of the Artwork will differ depending on whether we choose or are able to sell the Artwork privately or through a public auction. In a public auction, the principal transaction costs are a seller's commission and buyer's premium (a form of selling commission, based on a graduated scale set by each auction house), both of which reduce the net proceeds received by a seller from what a buyer ultimately pays. The final reported sales price includes the hammer price (i.e. the price at which the auctioneer declared the winning bid), and the buyer's premium. The buyer may also separately incur additional sales or VAT taxes, fees or royalties. A seller typically receives the hammer price less the seller's commission, if any. The economic terms negotiated between the seller and the auction house can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the value and importance of the specific work, whether the work is sold as an individual piece or part of a larger collection, anticipated demand levels, and other factors. In addition, the proceeds receivable by a seller are less favorable if the work is subject to a pre-auction guaranty. If we sell the Artwork in private transactions, there may be sales commissions payable to third parties who arrange for the sale transaction or, if no seller's agent is engaged in connection with such sale, Masterworks may charge a sales commission in connection with such sale. While we believe we may be able to substantially reduce the transaction costs of selling the Artwork, they will not be entirely eliminated.

In addition, Masterworks will be entitled to its 20% profits interest in respect of its ownership of Class B shares, plus Class A preferred shares issued by us pursuant to the management services agreement. Accordingly, your investment returns upon a sale of the Artwork, if such a sale can occur and if such sale can generate sufficient funds for a distribution after accounting for applicable fees and expenses, may be significantly lower than the actual rate of appreciation of the Artwork.

**Risks Associated with an Investment in the Artwork**

***There is no assurance of appreciation of the Artwork or sufficient cash distributions resulting from the ultimate sale of the Artwork.***

There is no assurance that the Artwork will appreciate, maintain its present value, or be sold at a profit. The marketability and value of the Artwork will depend upon many factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that there will be a ready market for the Artwork, since investment in artwork is generally illiquid, nor is there any assurance that sufficient cash will be generated from the sale of the Artwork to compensate investors for their investment. Even if the Artwork does appreciate in value, the rate of appreciation may be insufficient to cover our management costs and expenses.

***The value of the Artwork is subjective.***

The value of the Artwork is inherently subjective given its unique character. The acquisition of the Artwork by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that is wholly-owned by the Company is planned to occur on or before the initial closing of this Offering. The future realizable value of a fine artwork may differ widely from its estimated or appraised value for a variety of reasons, many of which are unpredictable and impossible to discern. In addition, the net realizable value to a seller at auction is often significantly lower than the published sale price because the net proceeds are typically reduced by all or a portion of the buyer's premium and there may also be a sales commission.

For non-cash generating assets, such as fine art, valuation is heavily reliant on an analysis of sales history of similar artwork. Experts often differ on which historical sales are comparable and the degree of comparability. The attempt to discern value from historical sales data is extremely challenging for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation:

● *Qualitative Factors*. Differences in perceived quality or condition between the subject work and the so-called "comparable" sale. Perceived differences in the physical quality and condition of the respective works require subjective judgements as to the valuation impact attributable to such differences.

● *Lack of Reliable Data*. Data from non-auction sales, comprising a majority of all sales, is largely unavailable and historical sales data may be inaccurate. Also, data may be stale or unavailable to the public because comparable works may remain off market for extended periods of time, often for generations. Even for public auctions, sale prices may be incorrectly reported due to credits for guarantees entered into with buyers (though under current rules in certain jurisdictions, these are required to be deducted from the reported sale price), or other credits provided to potential buyers.

● *Idiosyncratic Factors*. Idiosyncratic motivations of a buyer or seller may significantly affect the sale price. These motivations may relate to an emotional attachment to the work, ego, financial, estate or tax planning objectives, the desire to enhance or complete a specific collection objective, perceptions of supply and scarcity and other factors.

● *Timing Differences.* Historical transactions must be viewed in light of market conditions at the time compared to current conditions. Overall market conditions are difficult to track in recent periods and extremely difficult to discern for historical periods. Harder still, is the ability to track the relative popularity of specific works, artists and genres over historical periods.

● *Market Depth*. Sale prices only reflect the price a single buyer was willing to pay for a work, so it is very difficult to determine the depth of demand, as defined by the number of potential buyers that are ready, willing and able to purchase an artwork at or below a given price level.

● *Entanglements*. It is not uncommon in the art market for buyer, sellers and intermediaries to enter into private contractual arrangements that may affect the selling price in a specific transaction. It is often impossible to know of the existence or terms of any such contractual arrangements.

Accordingly, due to the inherent subjectivity involved in estimating the realizable value of the Artwork, any appraisal or estimate of realizable value may prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be different than the amount ultimately realized upon sale and such differences can be, and often are, material.

***Since the valuation of high-end artwork relies in large part on an analysis of historical auction sales, it is more difficult to accurately determine fair value of artwork by artists that have fewer auction sales.***

Certain artists such as Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso have a relatively large global collector base and a well-established track record of auction sales over a lengthy period. These artists were also extremely prolific during their careers, so their artwork is frequently bought and sold at auction. This relatively large volume of data makes estimates of historical pricing trends and fair value ranges for artwork produced by these artists more reliable. By contrast, valuation of works by other artists who have a smaller collector base and or a shorter track record of auction sales is comparatively more difficult and such assessments are generally prone to wider margins of error. When assessing the historical auction performance of artwork by a particular artist, investors are urged to consider the volume of public auction data available. As a general matter, historical pricing trends and fair value estimates are more likely to be more accurate for artists with higher volumes of prior auction sales than pricing trends and estimates for artists that have fewer historical auction sales. Accordingly, there is a higher risk that we may overpay for, or misprice, artwork by artists with fewer auction sales than those with higher volumes of prior auction sales.

***Our appraisal of the fair value of the Artwork may not be reflective of the value of the Class A shares or the realizable value of the Artwork.***

We, together with Masterworks, will estimate the fair value of the Artwork for purposes of preparing our annual and semi-annual financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. For the reasons set forth elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" section, any such valuation is inherently subjective and may not represent the actual realizable value of the Artwork. In addition, because an investment in the Company represents not just the physical Artwork, but also our administrative, cost, tax and governance structure, coupled with the fact that the timing of a sale of the Artwork is unknown, the value of the Class A shares may be significantly different than the proportionate indirect ownership of the Artwork that they represent. In addition, our Board of Managers will consider a variety of factors in making any determination to sell the Artwork and the appraised value of the Artwork may not be indicative of the price at which our Board of Managers would determine to sell the Artwork.

***An investment in the Artwork is subject to various risks, any of which could materially impair the value of the Artwork and the market value of our Class A shares.***

Investing in the Artwork is subject to the following risks:

● *Authenticity*. Claims with respect to the authenticity of a work may result from incorrect attribution, uncertain attribution, lack of certification proving the authenticity of the artwork, forgery of a work of art, or falsification of the artist's signature. We generally obtain representations of authenticity from sellers, but these representations may not effectively eliminate the risk.

● *Provenance*. Claims related to provenance, or history of ownership, are relatively common and allege that an artwork has an uncertain or false origin. Buyers may also negatively perceive some elements of the prior ownership history, or whether the work is considered to have sold too often in the past. With respect to the Artwork, buyers may negatively perceive our ownership in the Artwork when considering a purchase.

● *Condition*. The physical condition of an artwork over time is dependent on technical aspects of artistic workmanship, including the materials used, the manner and skill of application, handling and storage and other factors.

● *Physical Risks*. Artwork is subject to potential damage, destruction, devastation, vandalism or loss as a result of natural disasters (flood, fire, hurricane), crime, theft, illegal exportation abroad, etc.

● *Legal Risks.* Artwork ownership is prone to a variety of legal challenges, including challenges to title, nationalization, purchase of work of art from unauthorized person, risk of cheating, money laundering, violation of legal regulations and restitution issues. Purchasing from major auction houses and reputable galleries can reduce, but not eliminate these risks.

● *Market Risks.* The art market is prone to change due to a variety of factors, including changes in transaction costs, substantial changes in fees, tax law changes, export licenses etc., changes in legal regulations, changes in attitudes toward art as an investment, changes in tastes, trends (fashion) and changes in supply, such as the liquidation of a major collection. These risks can be specific to certain geographies.

● *Economic Risks.* Art values and demand are affected by economic confidence among ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

● *Fraud Risk*. The art market is unregulated and prone to abusive practices, including price manipulation, disguised agencies and lack of transparency.

Although, acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Artwork, the purchase or closing of which has not yet occurred, and will conduct due diligence in connection with its purchase of the Artwork, no amount of due diligence can completely insulate a buyer against these risks and if any of these risks materialize, the value of the Artwork may decline, and the value of the Class A shares would be adversely affected.

***If the Artwork is eventually displayed in a gallery space or other location, it could be damaged, and insurance may not cover all of the damages, or even if insurance does cover the damages, it may cause the Artwork to be unsaleable.***

It is planned that the Artwork will be permanently stored and displayed in the United States, though it might be displayed internationally. We plan to obtain and maintain insurance coverage for the Artwork. However, the Artwork may be damaged while being displayed and our insurance may not be able to cover all of the damages resulting therefrom, and even if insurance does cover such damages, the damages may result in the Artwork being unsaleable. Accordingly, damage or destruction of the Artwork will have a material adverse impact on the value of the Artwork and, consequently, the value of the Class A shares.

***We may not be able to find a buyer for the Artwork at a reasonable price.***

Art is a highly illiquid asset and a significant percentage of objects go unsold when sent to auction. Even in the event that we attempt to sell the Artwork, we cannot guarantee that there will be a buyer at any reasonable price. Additionally, if the Artwork does go to an auction sale and is not sold, such failure could damage the reputation of the Artwork in the marketplace and make it even more difficult to sell in the future.

***Temporary popularity of some artworks or categories of art may result in short-term value increases that prove unsustainable as collector tastes shift.***

Temporary consumer popularity or "fads" among collectors may lead to short-term or temporary price increases, followed by decreases in value. The demand for specific categories of art and artists is influenced by changing trends in the art market as to which collecting categories and artists are most sought after and by the collecting preferences of individual collectors. These conditions and trends are difficult to predict and may adversely impact our ability to sell the Artwork for a profit. These risks of changes in popularity may be greater for a living or emerging artist, as compared to other categories which may have a proven valuation track record over a longer period of time. These trends could result in reduced profitability or a loss upon the sale of the Artwork.

***We could be exposed to losses in the event of title or authenticity claims.***

The buying and selling of artwork can involve potential claims regarding title, provenance and or authenticity of the artwork. Authenticity risk related to works of art may result from incorrect attribution, uncertain attribution, lack of certificate proving the authenticity of the artwork, purchase of a non-authentic artwork, or forgery. In the event of a title or authenticity claim against us by a buyer of the Artwork from us, we would seek recourse against the seller of the Artwork pursuant to authenticity and title representations obtained at the time of purchase, but a claim could nevertheless expose us to losses. In addition, we do not maintain liquid assets to defend or settle any such legal claims and would be reliant on the Administrator to outlay the cost of such defense or settlement.

***Ownership of the artist's work may be concentrated, and any large-scale divestiture of a collection could negatively affect prices.***

If any major collector were to liquidate a large number of artworks by the artist, the supply and demand dynamic could shift dramatically. A significant increase in the number of artworks by the artist available for sale could reduce prices.

***The Artwork could be subject to damage, theft or deterioration in condition, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Artwork.***

We plan to store the Artwork in a protected environment with security measures, but no amount of security can fully protect an artwork from damage or theft. The damage or theft of valuable property, despite these security measures could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Artwork and, consequently, the value of our Class A shares. The Company maintains insurance, but there is no guaranty that such coverage would be adequate to mitigate all of such losses.

***Changes in opinions by experts in the artwork regarding authenticity could damage or eliminate the value of the Artwork.***

Authenticity is often completed by art world experts, and opinions often matter more than scientific data. If a well-respected art expert were to opine negatively on the authenticity of the Artwork, it could reduce or eliminate the value of the Artwork.

***Insurance coverage for the Artwork does not cover title claims and may not cover all possible contingencies, exposing us to losses resulting from the damage or loss of the Artwork.***

We plan to maintain insurance coverage for the Artwork against damage or loss of the Artwork. Our insurance coverage does not cover title claims and may expressly exclude damage caused by war, losses caused by chemical or biological contamination and certain other potential loss scenarios. Accordingly, in the event of a successful claim that we do not have valid title and ownership to the Artwork we would rely solely on the representations obtained from the seller to compensate us for such losses, which may prove to be inadequate. In addition, uncovered damage or destruction of the Artwork that is not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse impact on the value of our Class A shares.

***Industry sales cycles can be unpredictable.***

Purchase behavior by collectors is generally unpredictable due primarily to the discretionary nature, relative scarcity and high values of art purchases. An art buyer may typically purchase art when excess liquidity is abundant. When economic conditions preclude art collectors from purchasing the Artwork, such a downturn in sales will affect our ability to sell the Artwork. Additionally, many art buyers have significant access to credit to facilitate the purchase of artwork and any changes which would cause art collectors to not access credit could have a serious impact on a collector's ability to purchase the Artwork.

***Purchasing the Artwork in a privately negotiated transaction may involve greater risk than purchasing artwork at a public auction.***

There are differences between purchasing artwork in a private transaction and purchasing at a public auction. Auctions are generally conducted by large companies that often perform higher levels of research and due diligence than private galleries or agents. Auction houses typically have greater financial and other resources as compared to private galleries or agents. Accordingly, if an authenticity claim were to arise, an auction house would likely have greater financial resources (and or higher levels of insurance coverage) to be able to address such claims than private galleries or agents. In addition, sales practices by auction houses are regulated by laws in the countries in which they operate. These laws vary by jurisdiction, but generally prevent unfair and improper practices and require certain mandatory disclosures. By contrast, private galleries and agents are largely unregulated and operate under general legal principles of agency which do not necessarily require the level of fairness, transparency and disclosure that apply to public auctions. Accordingly, there may be higher risks attendant to purchasing artwork in privately negotiated transactions.

**Risks Related to our Reliance on Masterworks**

***We are totally reliant on the Administrator to maintain and sell the Artwork and manage our administrative services.***

We do not plan to have employees or intend to maintain or generate any cash flow prior to the sale of the Artwork. Accordingly, we are totally reliant on the performance of the Administrator under the management services agreement to effectuate the decisions of our Board of Managers. We plan to rely on the Administrator to perform or administer all necessary services to maintain the Artwork, including obtaining insurance and ensuring appropriate storage. The Administrator is also responsible for all management services required to maintain our Company, including professional services, regulatory filings, SEC reporting, tax filings and other matters. The Administrator is a newly formed company and has not yet developed a track record of successful performance of these activities. If the Administrator were to default on its obligations under the management services agreement, it would be extremely difficult for us to replace the Administrator or internally manage these functions given our lack of cash flow and lack of employees. Accordingly, in the event of a material default by the Administrator under the management services agreement, we would likely be forced to sell the Artwork. We cannot provide assurance that the timing and or terms of any such sale would be favorable. Further, Masterworks can withdraw for any reason from its position as our Administrator, provided that such withdrawal would only become effective upon a sale of the Artwork.

***We are totally reliant on the Administrator to maintain sufficient capital resources to pay our fees, costs and expenses.***

Although we believe the Administrator has sufficient capital resources and sources of liquidity to perform its obligations under the management services agreement for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that the Administrator will be able to maintain sufficient capital to satisfy its obligations in future periods. The Administrator's capital resources and sources of liquidity will be relied upon by our auditors in determining our likely ability to continue as a going concern. Pursuant to and in accordance with the management services agreement, the Administrator is required to maintain cash reserves on hand for so long as the Class A shares remain outstanding sufficient to pay at least one year of estimated expenses to satisfy its obligations under the management services agreement. However, there can be no assurance that the Administrator will be able to maintain such cash reserves. If the Administrator's liquid capital resources and sources of liquidity are insufficient to satisfy its operational requirements, including the management of our Company, for at least one year, our Company may receive qualified audit reports that would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of our Class A shares.

***The Board of Managers will have complete authority to administer our business consistent with the terms and conditions of our operating agreement, other than certain amendments to the operating agreement and the management services agreement.***

The Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters, including: mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, winding up and dissolution; except, the Board of Managers shall not have the authority to do any of the following without first obtaining the prior approval or consent of the holders of a majority of the voting shares, except as otherwise set forth therein:

● Amend, waive or fail to comply with any material provision of the operating agreement that disproportionately and adversely affects the Class A shareholders;

● Acquire additional material assets other than the Artwork, incur debt for borrowed money or engage in business activities that are unrelated to the ownership, maintenance, promotion and sale of the Artwork; or

● Issue additional Shares other than pursuant to the agreements described herein.

Additionally, we, in our sole and absolute discretion, may decide to sell the Artwork at any time and in any manner.

The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. There is no guaranty that any sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time. Masterworks will be entitled to reimbursement for costs and expenses associated with any such transaction and may earn fees for such transactions to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and there can be no assurance that there will be any remaining net proceeds to be distributed after payment of such costs and expenses.

This concentration of control in the Board of Managers may delay, deter or prevent acts that would be favored by holders of our Class A shares. The interests of the Board of Managers or the Administrator may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of the holders of our Class A shares. As a result, the market price of our Class A shares could decline, or holders of our Class A shares might not receive a premium over the then-current market price of our Class A shares upon a change in control.

***Holders of our Class A shares do not elect or vote on the Board of Managers and have limited ability to influence decisions regarding our business.***

Our operating agreement provides that our assets, affairs and business will be managed under the direction of the Board of Managers. Holders of our Class A shares do not elect or vote on the Board of Managers and, except for removal rights granted to an affiliate of Masterworks that invests in our Class A shares, members of the Board of Managers can only be removed by (i) a majority of the existing Board of Managers, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the voting shares and only for "cause", as defined in the operating agreement. Accordingly, unlike the holders of common stock in a corporation, holders of Class A shares have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business, and therefore limited ability to influence decisions regarding our business.

***As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for a board of directors or independent board committees.***

We do not intend to list the Class A shares on a national securities exchange. As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer listing on a national stock exchange would be. The Board of Managers is made up of Nigel Glenday, Joshua B. Goldstein, and Eli D. Broverman. One of the members of the Board of Managers, Eli D. Broverman, serves as the Independent Manager on the Board of Managers (the "Independent Manager"). The Independent Manager serves to protect the interests of the holders of the Class A shares and is tasked with reviewing and approving all related party transactions of our Company with our affiliates and address all conflicts of interest that may arise between us and the holders of the Class A shares and our affiliates. If the Independent Manager resigns from such position on the Board of Managers at any time, the remaining members of the Board of Managers shall appoint a replacement that meets the standards of an independent director pursuant to the standards set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). Accordingly, we do not have, nor are we required to have (i) a board of directors of which a majority consists of "independent" directors under the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (ii) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange's requirements, (iii) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange's requirements, (iv) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (v) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a company listed on a national stock exchange.

***Risk of non-compliance with regulations, including a risk of Masterworks being deemed to be operating as an unregistered broker-dealer.***

The Company has not engaged underwriters in connection with the Offering, but the Company will have an arrangement with Arete RIA whereby investment adviser representatives of Arete RIA will be dedicated to providing advisory services to persons who have expressed an interest in investing in Masterworks offerings, including this Offering. In light of the Company's arrangement with Arete RIA, if the SEC were to determine that Masterworks, which is not a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any state securities laws, has engaged in brokerage activities that require registration, including initial sale of the Class A shares on the Masterworks Platform and permitting a registered broker-dealer to facilitate resales or other liquidity of the Class A shares on the Masterworks Platform, Masterworks may need to discontinue or suspend certain operations, which would likely be harmful to its business and reputation. In addition, if Masterworks is found to have operated as a 'broker-dealer' without being properly registered, there is a risk that Class A shares offered and sold while Masterworks was not registered may be subject to a right of rescission, which may result in the early termination of the Offering. An unregistered broker-dealer may also face sanctions, penalties and enforcement actions by regulatory authorities. Since the Company is reliant on Masterworks to administer its operations and the Artwork, any regulatory development that is damaging to Masterworks may have a material adverse effect on the Company and Class A shareholders.

Further, if Masterworks Investor Services or another Masterworks affiliated entity were required to register as a broker and/or dealer, Masterworks would be subject to higher compliance costs and periodic examinations and, as a result, Masterworks would likely be required to change aspects of its business processes, fee structure and communications.

***Our amended and restated operating agreement designates the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for disputes between us and our shareholders involving claims under the Securities Act, which, if enforced by the courts, will restrict our shareholders' ability to choose the judicial forum for Securities Act disputes.***

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our amended and restated operating agreement provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' constitutive documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a shareholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our amended and restated operating agreement. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder's ability to bring a Securities Act claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees. If a court were to find the exclusive-forum provision in our amended and restated operating agreement to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could seriously harm our financial condition.

**Risks Relating to Potential Conflicts of Interest**

***Masterworks financial arrangements may result in misalignment between its interests and the interests of Class A shareholders.***

Masterworks and its affiliates will have substantially complete discretion to determine when and if to sell the Artwork. Since Masterworks earns management fees and incurs maintenance and other ongoing costs for so long as the Artwork is owned by us, Masterworks may have economic incentives or disincentives to sell the Artwork that are misaligned with the interests of shareholders. Accordingly, there is a risk that Masterworks and its affiliates will have conflicts of interest and no assurance can be given that any such conflicts will be resolved in a manner that is in the best interests of shareholders.

***Although Masterworks will own 1,000 Class B shares representing a 20% profits interest in our Company, and will own Class A shares following the Offering, Masterworks may eventually sell its shares.***

Masterworks currently owns and will own 1,000 Class B shares representing a 20% profits interest in our Company following the Offering and will own Class A shares if and to the extent the Offering is undersubscribed, as well as Class A preferred shares issuable to Masterworks pursuant to the management services agreement. Masterworks cannot transfer any Class A shares issuable to Masterworks pursuant to the management services agreement prior to the applicable vesting date, as may be extended or shortened in accordance with the management services agreement. Masterworks has also agreed to lock-up provisions in our operating agreement, that will prohibit it from selling any Class B shares prior to the one-year anniversary of the Offering, though it is permitted to pledge all of its shares to unaffiliated third-party lenders and such lenders shall not be subject to the lock-up if they obtain ownership of the profits interest in connection with a default by Masterworks on its indebtedness. Masterworks will have no restrictions on the disposition of any of its Class B shares after the one-year anniversary of the Offering and no restrictions on the disposition of its Class A shares once they vest, other than restrictions imposed by the management services agreement and applicable securities laws. Accordingly, the alignment that will exist upon the final closing of the Offering between Masterworks and our other shareholders may not exist in the future. If Masterworks were to sell a significant portion of its shares, the interests of Masterworks may differ significantly from those of investors in the Offering and subsequent holders of the Class A shares. As a result, we cannot assure investors that Masterworks will execute a discretionary sale of the Artwork at a time that is in the best interests of holders of the Class A shares.

***A Masterworks affiliate may invest in this Offering, which creates a risk that such Masterworks affiliate will seek to execute a secondary offering that could make it more difficult to sell your shares.***

 ****

Masterworks intends to sponsor offerings representing an investment in a portfolio of artwork and artwork investments and such portfolio may include an investment in our Class A shares. Any such investment would be made for cash consideration at the same price and upon the same terms as offered to other investors in this Offering, although the entity conducting such offering would have the right to replace or reconstitute our Board of Managers. In the event any such affiliate of Masterworks invests in our Class A shares, the Masterworks affiliate may elect to sell its interest in our Class A shares in a secondary offering. Such entity, as the selling shareholder, together with Masterworks, would determine the price at which such transaction is executed. Although Masterworks would be responsible for all of the costs and expenses of any such secondary sale transaction, the possibility that a large block of shares could be available for sale in the future may make it more difficult for investors in this Offering to sell their shares on the Templum ATS or other trading platform and could depress the price you would realize upon such sale.

***Masterworks and Members of the Board of Managers and executive officers will have other business interests and obligations to other entities, including interests and obligations relating to the art industry.***

Masterworks expects to engage in other business activities, including other activities relating to the art industry. Masterworks may buy and sell other works of art, enter into pre-auction guarantees, operate a gallery (for viewing purposes), establish other entities similar to us and other activities. In addition, neither the Administrator nor its executive officers nor the Board of Managers will be required to manage us as their sole and exclusive function and they will have other business interests and will engage in other activities in addition to those relating to us. We are dependent on the Administrator and its officers and employees to successfully operate us. Their other business interests and activities could divert time and attention from operating our business.

***Masterworks may receive fees from a buyer of the Artwork if it sells the Artwork without engaging an intermediary.***

 ****

Masterworks may determine to sell Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, Masterworks would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time.

***Our operating agreement contains provisions that exculpate the Board of Managers and the management services agreement contains provisions that exculpate the Administrator and its affiliates, and certain other persons engaged on behalf of the Administrator from liabilities with respect to certain actions taken, even if such actions are negligent, which also reduces the remedies available to investors for certain acts by such persons.***

Our operating agreement limits the liability of the Board of Managers, any of our members, any person who is an officer of ours and any person who serves at the request of the Board of Managers on behalf of us as an officer, director, members of the Board of Managers, Independent Manager, partner, member, stockholder or employee of such person. The management services agreement limits the liability of the Administrator, its affiliates, managers, officers and members. None of the foregoing persons shall be liable to us or the Administrator or any other member of us for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by other person with respect to us, including any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a liability resulting from any of the foregoing person's own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duties that have not been waived, reckless disregard of duty or any intentional and material breach of the operating agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). With the prior consent of the Board of Managers, any of the foregoing persons may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to our affairs (including interpretations of the operating agreement) and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants. In determining whether any of the foregoing persons acted with the requisite degree of care, such person shall be entitled to rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of the members of the Board of Managers, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and professional advisors of us selected with reasonable care; provided, that no such person may rely upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false. The foregoing limitations on liability reduce the remedies available to the holders of the Class A shares for actions taken which may negatively affect us.

***Representatives of registered investment advisers introduced to you through the Masterworks website are dedicated to selling and or advising on Masterworks securities and have conflicts of interest.***

Certain investment adviser representatives of Arete Wealth Advisors, LLC, or Arete RIA, are exclusively dedicated to providing advisory services with respect to Masterworks financial products. Masterworks, directly or indirectly, pays the compensation of these individuals and so they have conflicts of interest and lack the independence of other investment professionals who may provide more generalized investment advice. While these individuals have regulatory duties to investors, including fiduciary duties, such individuals are exclusively dedicated to the provision of advisory services of Masterworks financial products. Accordingly, such individuals will not provide you with recommendations or advice on investing in other traditional or alternative asset categories. They have direct or indirect financial incentives to convince you to invest in Masterworks' sponsored offerings, including this Offering.

***Our appraisal of the fair market value of the Artwork may differ from the appraisal that would be issued by an independent third-party and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any appraisal issued by the Company or Masterworks.***

Masterworks performs appraisals of artwork in conformity with the 2022-2023 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), although potential conflicts of interest may call into question standards related to appraiser independence. Members of the appraisal team are employees of Masterworks and Masterworks may have conflicts of interest in performing appraisals. Accordingly, our appraisal of the fair market value of the Artwork may differ from the appraisal that would be issued by an independent third party and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any appraisal issued by the Company or Masterworks.

**Risks Relating to Ownership of the Class A shares and the Offering**

***Our Class A shareholders will have very limited voting rights and we will have the ability to sell the Artwork without shareholder approval.***

Our operating agreement provides that the assets, affairs and business of our Company will be managed under the direction of our Board of Managers. Our Board of Managers, in their sole and absolute discretion, will have the ability to sell the Artwork at any time and in any manner. Our shareholders do not elect or vote on our Board of Managers. Our Class A shareholders will have voting rights only with respect to certain matters, primarily relating to amendments to our operating agreement or the management services agreement that would adversely change the rights of the Class A shares or to remove and replace the Administrator. Each outstanding Class A share entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, provided, that Class A shares beneficially owned by Masterworks, if any, and shares held by certain shareholders that irrevocably elect to limit or eliminate their voting rights, if any, shall not vote. Generally, matters to be voted on by our shareholders must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by all Class A shares present in person or represented by proxy, although the vote to remove a member of the Board of Managers for "cause" or to remove and replace the Administrator requires a two-thirds vote. If any vote occurs, you will be bound by the majority or supermajority vote, as applicable, even if you did not vote with the majority or supermajority.

***Your voting interest in the Company will vary over time depending upon the number of shares held by Masterworks and the number of shares, if any, for which our shareholders have irrevocably elected to limit or eliminate their voting rights.***

Shares beneficially owned by Masterworks shall have no voting rights for so long as they are beneficially owned by Masterworks. In addition, shareholders that beneficially own 5% or more of the Class A shares may irrevocably elect to limit or eliminate their voting rights. In our operating agreement we refer to each of these shareholders as a "Vote Limited Member". Non-voting shares are not counted in the determination of a quorum for purposes of calling a shareholder meeting or in determining whether or not a vote relating to a shareholder action has received the requisite percentage of support. Any election by a shareholder to become a Vote Limited Member would effectively increase the voting power held by our other Class A shareholders. Conversely, if Masterworks or a Vote Limited Member were to sell its Class A shares to a non-affiliate, the purchaser of such shares would have full voting rights with respect to such Class A shares, which would reduce the voting power held by other Class A shareholders. A large change in the outstanding voting power of the Company could result in a shareholder gaining or losing "affiliate" status, which could have securities law implications since shares held by affiliates, which are deemed "control" securities, are not freely tradeable under federal securities laws. We cannot predict whether any shareholder will elect to become a Vote Limited Member, how many Class A shares may be affected by any such election or when or if Masterworks or any Vote Limited Member will sell any of its Class A shares. Accordingly, while Class A shareholders can determine the minimum voting rights they will hold, which is equal to their percentage ownership of the total number of Class A shares outstanding at any point in time, they cannot predict the actual share of the vote they may hold from time to time. Accordingly, it will be difficult for shareholders to determine their level of voting power at any point in time.

***There is no active public market for our Class A shares and an active trading market may not ever develop or, even if developed, may not be available to all shareholders, may not be sustained or may cease to exist following this Offering, which would adversely impact the market for our Class A shares and make it difficult, or even impossible, to sell your Class A shares.***

There is no active market for our Class A shares. We do not plan to list the Class A shares for trading on a national securities exchange, but we intend to facilitate secondary sales of Class A shares on an alternative trading system operated by Templum Markets LLC, referred to as the "Templum ATS," commencing on or after the three-month anniversary of the date this Offering is fully subscribed. No assurance can be given that the Templum ATS will provide an effective means of selling your Class A shares or that the price at which any Class A shares are sold through the Templum ATS is reflective of the fair value of the Class A shares or the Artwork. We do not know the extent to which investor interest will lead to the development and maintenance of a liquid market. In light of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the relatively small market capitalization of the Company, we cannot guarantee the Templum ATS will provide a reliable or effective means of price discovery. Any posted offer prices or historical transaction information reflected on the Templum ATS should not be construed as being representative of the fair value of the Company's Class A shares or of the Artwork. The Templum ATS will not be available to certain non-U.S. citizens. Investors should be prepared to hold their Class A shares for an indefinite period of time, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares will ever be saleable through the Templum ATS or an alternative platform.

***You may not be able to sell your Class A shares at or above the offering price or at all.***

The initial public offering price for our Class A shares is above their net tangible asset value due to the payment of the true-up to Masterworks. In addition, Masterworks owns 1,000 Class B shares representing a 20% profits interest in our Company. Prior to this Offering, no public market exists for our Class A shares. You may not be able to sell your Class A shares at or above the initial offering price, or ever. Investors should be prepared to hold their Class A shares for an indefinite period, as there can be no assurance that the Class A shares can ever be tradable or sold.

***We will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. Therefore, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not "emerging growth companies," and our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.***

We will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for "emerging growth companies" under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer's fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer's fiscal year. Therefore, our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

***Holders of our Class A shares may face significant restrictions on the resale of the Class A shares due to state "Blue Sky" laws or rules restricting participation by foreign citizens.***

Each state has its own securities laws, often called "blue sky" laws, which limit sales of securities to a state's residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration and govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or the transaction must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker, if any, must be registered in that state. We do not know whether our Class A shares will be registered or exempt from registration under the laws of any state. We believe that isolated transactions effected between users of the Templum ATS, which do not involve the Company, are deemed to be exempt transactions in many States, but participants on the Templum ATS will need to ensure that their activities comply with the laws of their respective States. If our Class A shares are quoted on an alternative trading system, a determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as the market-makers for our Class A shares. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our Class A shares.

In addition, many trading platforms do not permit non-U.S. citizens or residents to transact on their platforms due primarily to complications associated with obtaining reasonable assurances as to the identity of such individuals and compliance with anti-money laundering, tax and securities laws that would be applicable to such transactions. Masterworks does not currently permit non-U.S. citizens to use the Templum ATS. Accordingly, you should consider the resale market for our Class A shares to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your Class A shares without the significant expense of state registration or qualification, or at all.

***There is a risk the Offering will not close.***

There are numerous possible scenarios pursuant to which the offering may be abandoned prior to the initial closing, including a material adverse change or event in the capital markets or art markets, which could make it impracticable to consummate the Offering. The emergence of material litigation regarding the Company and/or involving Masterworks, material physical damage to the Artwork prior to the initial closing, the Artwork failing its physical inspection, the outbreak of war or hostilities, or Masterworks' determination that the Offering should be delayed, suspended, or abandoned, due to these or other unforeseeable events.

***Sales of Class A shares by Masterworks or its affiliates could make it more difficult for you to sell your Class A shares and could adversely affect the price of the Class A shares on the Templum ATS.***

Class A shares offered in this Offering may be acquired by Masterworks or one or more entities controlled by Masterworks. In addition, Masterworks owns 1,000 Class B shares, representing a 20% "profits interest" in our fully diluted equity that will be convertible into Class A shares. In addition, Masterworks will earn Class A preferred shares pursuant to the management services agreement, which are subject to vesting provisions. Masterworks affiliates will have no restrictions on shares acquired in this Offering or on any Class A shares received upon conversion of its Class B shares after the one-year anniversary of the Offering and no restrictions on the disposition of Class A shares earned pursuant to the management services agreement once they vest, other than restrictions in our operating agreement and those imposed by applicable securities laws. These shares held by our affiliates can be resold in one or more transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including in a secondary offering pursuant to Regulation A following the one-year anniversary of the qualification of the Offering Statement for this Offering. Any offering of these shares by Masterworks or its affiliates may make it more difficult to sell your Class A shares and could adversely affect the price at which you can sell your Class A shares on the Templum ATS.

***A Concentration of ownership of the Class A shares may reduce liquidity or adversely affect the price of the Class A shares on the Templum ATS or any other trading venue on which the Class A shares may be traded.***

Our operating agreement contains a 19.99% beneficial ownership limit, but we can waive such limit in our discretion on a case-by-case basis. In making a determination to waive the ownership limit we would consider the actual percentage interest that such person seeks to acquire, with a bias toward waiving the limit for smaller increments above 19.99%, such person's ability to exercise control over the Company, the likelihood that such person would seek to acquire the Artwork or influence the sale price of the Artwork, and other factors we deem relevant. As a result of any such waiver one or more Class A shareholders may beneficially own a large percentage of the outstanding Class A shares. Masterworks has formed an entity that may invest in this Offering and other similar offerings conducted through the Masterworks Platform and we would likely waive the ownership limit for such entity if it chose to invest in this Offering above 19.9%, but not above 49.9%. A concentration of ownership in one or a small group of shareholders may diminish liquidity on the Templum ATS, particularly if any such shareholder is deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, which would include any affiliate of Masterworks and would make it more difficult for such shareholder to sell its shares pursuant to applicable Federal securities laws. Conversely, concentrated ownership could also create an "overhang" risk, which is a risk that such shareholder or shareholders seek to liquidate their positions in a short time frame, which could significantly increase the supply of Class A shares available for sale without a corresponding increase in demand, thereby driving the trading price of the Class A shares downward.

***Our multi-class capital structure presents additional risks for investors in this Offering.***

In addition to the Class A shares offered by this Offering Circular, our operating agreement provides for Class A preferred shares, Class B ordinary shares and a single Class C share. The Class A preferred shares have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over Class A ordinary shares. The Class B shares have the right to 20% of the profits upon a sale of the Artwork and can be converted into Class A shares pursuant to a formula in our operating Agreement. The Class C share can be issued or transferred to an affiliate of Masterworks, referred to herein as a "Masterworks Investor," and would provide such Masterworks Investor with the exclusive right to remove, replace or reconstitute our Board of Managers without "cause" for any reason. There could be conflicts of interest between our Company and a Masterworks Investor and the ability of a Masterworks Investor to replace our Board increases the risk that those conflicts of interest, if they arise, would not be resolved in the best interests of the Company or our Class A shareholders. We and Masterworks intend to take reasonable steps to address potential conflicts in connection with an eventual sale of the Artwork, including by forming a special committee comprised solely of Managers that are independent of management and Masterworks to approve any such sale, but there can be no assurance that these steps will adequately protect the interests of Class A shareholders. In addition, our capital structure is significantly different than the vast majority of companies whose securities are listed on national securities exchanges and would potentially violate the listing and governance standards of national securities exchanges, potentially making our Class A shares ineligible for listing on any such exchange, though no such listing is contemplated.

***If we face litigation related to the Offering, we may elect to auction the Artwork and the proceeds of any sale at such auction may be insufficient to provide an adequate remedy. Further, if investors successfully seek rescission, we would face severe financial demands that we may not be able to meet.***

Our Class A shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being offered in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, including Regulation A promulgated thereunder. We represent that this offering circular does not contain any untrue statements of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of all the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. However, if this representation is inaccurate with respect to a material fact, if this Offering fails to qualify for exemption from registration under the federal securities laws pursuant to Regulation A, or if we fail to register the Class A shares or find an exemption under the securities laws of each state in which we offer the Class A shares, each investor may have the right to rescind his, her or its purchase of the Class A shares and to receive back from us his, her or its purchase price with interest. Such investors, however, may be unable to collect on any judgment, and the cost of obtaining such judgment may outweigh the benefits. If investors successfully seek rescission, we may elect to sell the Artwork and there can be no assurance that the proceeds of any such sale would be an adequate remedy for our investors and we would face severe financial demands we may not be able to meet and it may adversely affect any non-rescinding investors.

***If we face litigation, unless such litigation is proven to involve fraud or intentional misconduct on the part of the Administrator or our other affiliates, we may seek to sell the Artwork and the Administrator will be entitled to recoup its expenses in connection with defending and or settling such litigation.***

Our operating agreement indemnifies the Board of Managers and the management services agreement indemnifies the Administrator in all instances not involving fraud or intentional misconduct. In addition, while the Administrator is responsible for all ordinary and necessary expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Artwork and managing our Company, there is an exception for costs incurred in connection with litigation. Accordingly, if there is any litigation involving our Company which does not involve fraud or intentional misconduct, the costs relating to such litigation will be deducted from the funds to be disbursed to holders of Class A shares upon our sale of the Artwork and subsequent dissolution.

***Because we do not have an audit committee, holders of our Class A shares will have to rely on our Board of Managers and the Independent Manager to perform these functions.***

We do not have an audit committee. The Board of Managers, made up of Nigel Glenday, Joshua B. Goldstein and Eli D. Broverman will perform the duties normally performed by an audit committee for an entity such as ours. One of the members of the Board of Managers, Eli D. Broverman, serves as the Independent Manager on the Board of Managers. The Independent Manager serves to protect the interests of the holders of the Class A shares and is tasked with reviewing and approving all related party transactions between us and our affiliates and address all conflicts of interest that may arise between us and the holders of the Class A shares and our affiliates. If the Independent Manager resigns from such position on the Board of Managers at any time, the remaining members of the Board of Managers shall appoint a replacement that meets the standards of an independent director pursuant to the standards set forth on NASDAQ pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

***Purchasers in this Offering and in the aftermarket will experience dilution in the book value of their investment over time.***

The initial offering price per Class A share will be approximately $1.98 above the pro forma net tangible book value per Class A share immediately following this Offering as a result of the true-up amount payable to Masterworks. The Administrator will earn a management fee in the form of Class A preferred shares. These fees will, when issued, effectively further reduce the tangible book value per Class A share over time. Additionally, if the value of the Class A shares increases over time, the number of Class A shares to be issued upon conversion of the Class B shares will also increase over time resulting in additional dilution to holders of our Class A shares.

***Risks of investing using a credit card.***

We may accept credit cards for subscriptions, provided that any such credit card subscription shall not exceed the lesser of $30,000 or the amount permitted by applicable law, per subscriber. An investment in the Class A shares is a long-term and highly illiquid investment. Payment by credit card may be appropriate for some investors as a temporary funding convenience, but should not be used as a long term means to finance an investment in the Class A shares. Investors contemplating using their credit card to invest are urged to review the SEC's Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which is available at https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-and-bulletins/ia_riskycombination. Credit card investment will result in incurrence of third-party fees and charges (often ranging from 1.5% - 3.0%), interest obligations which will lower your expected investment returns, and could exceed your actual returns. In addition, if you cannot meet your minimum payment obligation, you may damage your credit profile which would make it more difficult and more expensive to borrow in the future.

***Provisions of our Certificate of Formation and our Operating Agreement may delay or prevent a take-over which may not be in the best interests of holders our Class A shares.***

Provisions of our Certificate of Formation and the operating agreement may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include, among others, the Board of Managers having sole and exclusive control of the operations of us with the exclusion of the holders of the Class A shares being able to vote upon certain limited circumstances, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt.

***We do not intend to pay distributions in the foreseeable future and may only make a distribution to the holders of our Class A shares if the Artwork can be sold at a profit to the price we paid and after the costs and expenses associated with the sale there are sufficient funds to effect a distribution upon the liquidation of the Company.***

We do not maintain any cash balances and do not intend to pay any distributions in the foreseeable future and may only make a distribution to the holders of our Class A shares if the Artwork can be sold at a profit to the price paid by us and other costs and expenses associated with the sale there are sufficient funds to effect a distribution upon our liquidation. Investors should be prepared to never receive a distribution in connection with their ownership of the Class A shares.

***The tax treatment of an investment in the Company is uncertain and subject to change.***

We currently expect to be taxed as a partnership, which means we do not expect to pay entity-level Federal income taxes and any income or loss arising from a sale of the Artwork by Masterworks Cayman would be allocated to our shareholders and result in ordinary dividend income for our shareholders. In the event our Board of Managers determines that there is a material risk that our partnership status may not be respected by the IRS due to the potential existence of secondary market liquidity for the Class A shares or for other reasons, our Board of Managers may restructure our operations to avoid or minimize entity-level Federal income taxes. Any such restructuring could, among other consequences, cause any gain resulting from a sale of the Artwork being taxed at higher rates applicable to capital gains on collectibles. Shareholders are urged to consult their advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the Company in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, the Board of Managers has sole discretion to change the tax election such that the Company would be taxed as a corporation for U.S. Federal income purposes, which would mean that the Company would be required to pay entity level U.S. Federal income taxes on gains, if any, from the sale of the Artwork. Any such change could adversely impact the net amount of funds you receive, after taxes, from a sale of the Artwork.

***Tax risk to investors seeking to invest using their individual retirement accounts, including traditional and self-directed IRAs and 401(k)s.***

Section 408(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States treats the acquisition of any collectible, including any work of art, as a distribution from the retirement account. Distributions are taxable to the holder of the account and may be subject to early withdrawal penalties of 10% of such amount if the investor is not at least 59-1/2 years of age. The Internal Revenue Service could take the position that an investment in the Class A shares is tantamount to the acquisition of artwork and therefore should be treated as a taxable distribution. We urge those investors seeking to use their individual retirement accounts to invest in Class A shares to consult with a competent professional tax professional prior to making an investment decision.

***By purchasing shares in this Offering, you are bound by the provisions contained in our subscription agreement which provide for mandatory arbitration and a waiver of rights to a jury trial which limits your ability to bring class action lawsuits, seek remedies on a class basis or have a jury decide the factual merits of your claim.***

By purchasing shares in this Offering, investors agree to be bound by the arbitration provisions contained in our subscription agreement which provide that arbitration is the exclusive means for resolving disputes relating to or arising out of the subscription agreement, the shares, the Masterworks Platform, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing. In addition, by signing the subscription agreement, you waive your rights to a jury trial in any such dispute. Please note that neither the mandatory arbitration provision nor the waiver of your rights to a jury trial apply to claims made under the federal securities laws or any dispute you may have with Arete RIA. Arbitration awards are generally final and binding. A party's ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited. Purchasers of shares in a secondary transaction would also be subject to the same arbitration provisions and jury waiver that are currently in our subscription agreement. Such arbitration provision limits the ability of investors to bring class action lawsuits or similarly seek remedies on a class basis for claims subject to the provision. If invoked, the arbitration is required to be conducted in New York, NY in accordance with New York law. The subscription agreement allows for either the Company or an investor to elect to enter into binding arbitration in the event of any covered claim in which the Company and the investor are adverse parties. While not mandatory, in the event that the Company were to invoke the arbitration clause, the rights of the adverse shareholder to seek redress in court would be severely limited. These restrictions on the ability to bring a class action lawsuit and the waiver of a jury trial may result in increased costs and/or reduced remedies, to individual investors who wish to pursue claims against the Company, except in the case of claims made under the federal securities laws.

**DILUTION**

As of the date of this filing, 100% of the membership interests of the Company are held by Masterworks.

Investors in this Offering will suffer immediate dilution in the net tangible book value per share $1.98 as a result of the true-up to be paid to Masterworks as part of our cost of acquiring the Artwork. Fees payable to Masterworks in the form of Class A preferred shares will also result in dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Class A shares. We estimate that the net tangible book value per share upon the final closing of the Offering after giving effect to the intended use of proceeds from the Offering will be $18.02.

The Class B shares may also have a dilutive effect following the final closing of the Offering. The formula for the conversion of the Class B shares into the Class A shares is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Class A shares issuable upon conversion** | **=** | **(A) Value Increase, *multiplied by*** |
|  |  | **(B) Conversion Percentage, *multiplied by*** |
|  |  | **(C) 20%, *divided by*** |
|  |  | **(D) Class A share Value.** |

---

Definitions for conversion calculation:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| "***Value Increase***" | the aggregate value of Shares outstanding at such time, minus the product of (i) the number of Class A shares outstanding at such time *and* (ii) $20.00, if such difference is positive. |
| "***Conversion Percentage***" | means, (A) the number of Class B shares being converted, *divided by* (B) the number of Class B shares outstanding. |
| "***Class A share Value***" | means, as of the close of business on the day preceding the conversion date, the volume weighted average trading price ("VWAP") of the Class A shares on all trading platforms or trading systems on which the Class A shares are being traded over the forty-five (45) trading days then ended, provided, that if the total aggregate trading volume over such 45-trading-day period is less than 5% of the public float, such period shall be extended to the ninety (90) trading days then ended, provided, further, if the total aggregate trading volume over such 90-trading-day period is less than 5% of the public float, the holder of the Class B shares shall request that the Administrator obtain an appraisal of the Class A share Value from one or more independent nationally-recognized third party appraisal companies and such appraisal shall constitute the Class A share Value.\* |

---

*\* The hypothetical Class A share values represent the assumed VWAP, or in the absence of a trading market, the appraised fair value of the Class A shares, which, in either case, is assumed to be the amount that a Class A share would receive upon liquidation of the Company (i.e. the appraised value of the Artwork divided by the fully diluted number of Class A shares outstanding).*

*Examples of conversion calculation*

The following table illustrates the number and percentage of Class A shares (rounded to nearest whole share) that would be issued to Masterworks upon conversion of all of its Class B shares based on hypothetical changes in the trading price or value of the Class A shares:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Hypothetical Class A share Value | $20.0 | $30.0 | $40.0 | $50.0 | $60.0 |
| No. of Class A shares Masterworks would receive upon conversion of 100% of its Class B shares | 0.0 | 2775.0 | 4163.0 | 4995.0 | 5550.0 |
| Percentage of total outstanding Shares Masterworks would receive upon conversion of 100% of its Class B shares | 0.0% | 7.69% | 11.11% | 13.04% | 14.29% |

---

Pursuant to the foregoing formula, Class A shares will only be issuable upon a conversion of Class B shares if the value of the Class A shares is higher than $20.00 per share. Upon the final closing of this Offering, the value of the Class A shares will be $20.00 per share based on the offering price and therefore, no shares will be issuable upon a conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares at such time.

Nominal consideration was paid for the membership interests represented by Class B shares. The aggregate cash cost to Masterworks for the Class B shares will be $100.00 (representing the cash payment made in consideration of the issuance of membership interests represented by Class B shares) or less than $0.01 per share. If in the future the value of the Class A shares increases to where there is a gain in value, based on the above formula, there will be additional dilution.

For example, if the value of the Class A shares is $30 per share, based on the foregoing conversion formula, the Class B shares will be convertible into 2,775 Class A shares if Masterworks decides to convert all of the Class B shares they hold. The new investors ownership interest would be diluted as follows assuming that 33,300 Class A shares are sold in the Offering:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Dilution Based on Hypothetical Conversion** | **Dilution Based on Hypothetical Conversion** | **Dilution Based on Hypothetical Conversion** | **Dilution Based on Hypothetical Conversion** | **Dilution Based on Hypothetical Conversion** |
|  | **Shares Purchased** | **Shares Purchased** | **Total Consideration** | **Total Consideration** | **Average Price** |
|  | **Number** | **Percent** | **Amount** | **Percent** | **per Share** |
| Existing shareholders as ofJanuary 4, 2023 | 0 | 0.0% | $0 | 0.0% | $0.00 |
| Assumed issuance of Class A shares for Class B shares | 2775 | 7.69% | $100 | 0.0% | $0.01 |
| New investors (this Offering) | 33300 | 92.31% | $666000 | 100.0% | $20.00 |
| Total | 36075 | 100.0% | $666100 | 100.0% | $20.01 |

---

Further, as additional Class A preferred shares are issued to the Administrator as payment for its entity-level and asset management services, the holders of the Class A shares will suffer dilution.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

The Company is selling the Class A shares through the Masterworks Platform and is not selling the Class A shares or soliciting investors through commissioned sales agents or underwriters. Representatives of an SEC registered investment adviser may provide advisory services to prospective investors. For additional information about these advisory services, please see "Advisory Services." Subscriptions will be made only through the Masterworks Platform and payment will be made directly to the Company. The subscription funds paid by investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a noninterest-bearing segregated account of the Company with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or a similar institution and will not be commingled with any other funds and will not be released, unless and until there is an initial closing and the date of each respective additional closing under of this Offering. All fees and expenses of the Offering will be paid by Masterworks and the Company shall have no responsibility for any such amounts payable. Accordingly, the gross proceeds from the Offering shall be the same as the net proceeds from the Offering. This Offering will not exceed 24 months from the date of commencement in accordance with Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A.

**Online Subscriptions and Bank Account**

Our affiliate Masterworks.io, LLC and its principals own and operate the Masterworks Platform located at https://www.masterworks.com/ that allows investors to acquire interests in special purpose companies that invest in artwork. Through the Masterworks Platform, investors can, once they establish a profile, browse and screen potential artwork investments, view details of an investment and sign contractual documents online. After the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part, the Offering will be conducted through the Masterworks Platform, whereby investors will receive, review, execute and deliver subscription agreements electronically as well as make payment of the purchase price in the form of ACH debit, credit card or wire transfer into a segregated non-interest bearing account held by us until the closing date of each respective closing under this Offering. The subscription funds paid by investors as part of the subscription process will be held in a noninterest-bearing segregated account of the Company with Goldman Sachs Bank USA or a similar institution and will not be commingled with any other funds and will not be released, unless and until there is an initial closing and the date of each respective closing under this Offering. Credit card subscription shall not exceed the lesser of $30,000 or the amount permitted by applicable law, per subscriber. Investors contemplating using their credit card to invest are urged to carefully review "Risk Factors – Risks of investing using a credit card." Credit card investment will result in incurrence of third-party fees and charges, interest obligations which will lower your expected investment returns and could exceed your actual returns. In addition, if you cannot meet your minimum payment obligation, you may damage your credit profile which would make it more difficult and more expensive to borrow in the future. On any relevant closing date, the funds in the account will be released to us and the associated Class A shares will be issued to the investors in this Offering. If there are no closings of this Offering, the funds deposited in the segregated account will be promptly returned to subscribers, without deduction and generally without interest.

Upon each closing under the terms as set out in this offering circular, funds will be immediately transferred to us (where the funds will be available for use in the operations of the Company's business in a manner consistent with the "Use of Proceeds" in this offering circular).

**Transfer Agent and Registrar**

The transfer agent and registrar for our Class A shares is Equity Stock Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent's address is 237 West 37th Street, Suite 602, New York, New York 10018. The transfer agent's telephone number is 212-575-5757. We intend to avoid registration of the Class A shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and may avail ourselves of the conditional limitation on shares "held of record" contained in Rule 12g5-1(a)(7) of the Exchange Act.

**Book-Entry Records of Class A shares**

Ownership of the Class A shares will be represented in "book-entry" only form directly in the name of the respective owner of the Class A shares and shall be recorded by the Company and that no physical certificates shall be issued, nor received, by the Company or any other person. The Company or Masterworks shall send out email confirmations of positions and notifications of changes "from" us upon each and every event affecting any person's ownership interest.

**Investment Amount Limitations**

The maximum investment amount per investor is $100,000 (5,000 Class A shares) and the minimum investment amount per investor is $15,000 (750 Class A shares). We can waive the minimum and maximum purchase requirements by posting such change to our website or on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. Subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable by the investors but can be rejected by us. Further, pursuant to the terms of the Company's Operating Agreement, an investor, other than an affiliate of Masterworks, generally cannot own, or be deemed to beneficially own, as "beneficial ownership" is determined pursuant to Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act, more than 19.99% of the total number of Class A shares outstanding. We may waive such limit on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion.

**Generally, no sale may be made to you in this Offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A.

A **non-accredited, natural person** may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser's annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

For the purposes of calculating your Net Worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Class A shares.

In order to purchase Class A shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to our satisfaction, that he or she is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this Offering.

Non-U.S. investors may participate in the Offering by depositing their funds in the non-interest-bearing account. Any such funds that are received shall be held on deposit until the applicable closing under the Offering or returned if there is no closing.

**ADVISORY SERVICES**

Masterworks is party to an agreement with Arete Wealth Advisors, LLC ("Arete RIA"), a SEC registered investment adviser, to provide investment advisory services to persons who have indicated an interest in investing in the Class A shares offered pursuant to this offering circular and other offerings sponsored by Masterworks. These advisory services will be provided by a dedicated team of investment adviser representatives who are employees of Masterworks and associated persons of Arete RIA. Any investor that speaks to an adviser representative will be requested to enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Arete RIA, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the offering statement of which this offering circular is an integral part. Masterworks pays Arete RIA a fixed monthly fee for supervision of these adviser representatives, plus additional fees equal to the compensation of the Arete RIA adviser representatives, which fees are paid by Masterworks to Arete RIA or directly to the adviser representatives on behalf of Arete RIA. Arete RIA has the right to approve of all compensation arrangements with respect to the adviser representatives.

In addition, Arete RIA may be deemed to be a statutory underwriter in connection with the distribution of the Offering and or other offerings sponsored by Masterworks. The adviser representatives dedicated to providing investment advisory services to persons interested in investing in Masterworks securities offerings will not provide recommendations or advice on any alternative investments or other asset classes. In light of the exclusive nature of the arrangement between dedicated adviser representatives and Arete RIA and Masterworks, coupled with the fact that all fees generated by Arete RIA to compensate the dedicated adviser representatives are paid by Masterworks, Arete RIA and these adviser representatives have conflicts of interest and lack the independence of other investment professionals who may provide more generalized investment advice.

Further, if an affiliate of Masterworks becomes a SEC registered investment adviser (referred to as "Masterworks RIA"), representatives of Masterworks RIA may provide advisory services in connection with offerings sponsored by Masterworks, including this offering.

**USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER**

We expect to receive gross proceeds from this Offering of up to $666,000. Masterworks will pay all expenses of the Offering, including fees and expenses associated with qualification of the Offering under Regulation A. Therefore, the gross proceeds from this Offering will equal the net proceeds from this Offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this Offering to, indirectly through a segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman, acquire the Artwork, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, pursuant to an intercompany agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.2 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, Masterworks will advance the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with any unsold Class A shares, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. Accordingly, in any circumstance in which an initial closing occurs, at the time of the final closing, 33,300 Class A shares will be issued and outstanding, the purchase price of the Artwork and the true-up will be fully paid, the Company will own the Artwork and the Company will have no indebtedness.

**DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**

*The discussions contained in this offering circular relating to the artist, the Artwork and the art industry are taken from third-party sources that the Company believes to be reliable and the Company believes that the information from such sources contained herein regarding the artist, the Artwork and the art industry is reasonable, and that the factual information therein is fair and accurate.*

**Overview**

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on October 17, 2022, by Masterworks to facilitate an investment in the Artwork. We are a manager-managed limited liability company managed by a Board of Managers. Upon our formation, Masterworks was issued membership interests of the Company representing 100% of our membership interests. Masterworks Gallery adopted our amended and restated operating agreement and Masterworks currently holds 1,000 Class B shares. On or prior to the initial closing of the Offering, we will enter into the management services agreement with our Administrator pursuant to which the Administrator will agree to maintain the Artwork and manage our business. Our Administrator can withdraw for any reason from its position as our Administrator, provided that such withdrawal shall be effective only following a sale of the Artwork.

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 96 inches by 96 inches, in a privately negotiated transaction from a private gallery for $600,000 on December 20, 2022. The acquisition of the Artwork by a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that is wholly-owned by the Company is planned to occur on or prior to the initial closing of this Offering.

We are offering 33,300 Class A shares in the Offering for aggregate consideration of $666,000 (inclusive of a true-up of approximately 11% of the cost of the Artwork, or approximately 10% of the maximum aggregate offering amount). We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this Offering to, indirectly through a segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman, acquire the Artwork, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, Masterworks will advance such segregated portfolio any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with any unsold Class A shares, if any, will be contributed to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will acquire the Artwork and will be used to repay the Masterworks advance and pay Masterworks the true-up. The Masterworks advance does not incur interest. Following the initial closing of the Offering, title to the Artwork will be held in such segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman. The Artwork will be the only asset of the segregated portfolio, and we will be the only shareholder of that segregated portfolio.

We do not expect to generate any material amount of revenues or cash flow unless and until the Artwork is sold and no profits will be realized by investors unless the Artwork is sold for more than we acquire it for, plus the true-up amount and we have sufficient funds after payment of all associated costs and fees in connection with the sale of the Artwork, or the investors are able sell their Class A shares for a price higher than they purchased them for. We will be 100% reliant on the Administrator to maintain the Artwork and manage our business.

Pursuant to a management services agreement among Masterworks and, Masterworks Cayman and us to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the Offering, Masterworks will manage all of our Company-specific administrative services and will maintain the Artwork. In exchange for these services and paying all ordinary and necessary operating costs and expenses, Masterworks will receive equity interests in us commencing on and after the final closing of the Offering. These equity issuances to Masterworks will, subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement, result in dilution of 1.5% per annum to Class A shareholders. The Administrator will also manage any extraordinary or non-routine services which may be required, from time-to-time, including, without limitation, litigation or services in connection with a sale of the Artwork or any sale, merger, third-party tender offer or other similar transaction involving us. Any third-party costs incurred by the Administrator or payments made by the Administrator in connection with litigation or major transactions will be reimbursed upon the sale of the Artwork or our Company, as applicable. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time. For more information regarding the management services agreement, see "Related Party Transactions." We will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to the ownership, maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the Artwork. Our strategy will be to display and promote the Artwork in a manner designed to enhance its provenance and increase its exposure and its value.

**Acquisition of the Artwork**

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 96 inches by 96 inches, in a privately negotiated transaction from a private gallery for $600,000 on December 20, 2022. Closing of the sale is planned to occur on or before the initial closing of this Offering. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing of this Offering to, indirectly through a segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman, acquire the Artwork, and if and to the extent such proceeds are less than the purchase price, pursuant to an intercompany agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 6.2 to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms an integral part, Masterworks will advance to such segregated portfolio company of Masterworks Cayman any additional funds required to consummate the acquisition. The advance and the true-up will be settled through proceeds from this Offering and, if the Offering is not fully subscribed, the remaining unsold Class A shares will be issued to Masterworks in full settlement of such obligations. Accordingly, in any circumstance in which an initial closing occurs, at the time of the final closing, 33,300 Class A shares will be issued and outstanding, the purchase price of the Artwork and the true-up will be fully paid, the Company will own the Artwork and the Company will have no indebtedness.

**Masterworks Experience in the Art Industry**

Scott W. Lynn, the Founder of Masterworks and Chief Executive Officer of the Administrator has been an active collector of postwar and contemporary art for more than fifteen years and has built an internationally-recognized collection of Abstract Expressionism that has included works by Clyfford Still, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, and more. In 2017, portions of Mr. Lynn's collection were exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, the Denver Art Museum, and the Palm Beach Museum. At other periods in time, Mr. Lynn's collection has been exhibited at museums such as the National Gallery, the Guggenheim (New York), and the Museum of Modern Art. Our acquisition strategy is guided by Mr. Lynn and thus far has relied heavily on various outside consultants and advisors that Mr. Lynn has worked with in his personal collecting. We have hired and continue to hire personnel with backgrounds in art investment and analysis.

Set forth below is a summary of Masterworks' experience in the art industry. Other than the offerings described below, Masterworks has not offered any prior investment programs in which disclosed in the offering materials was a date and time period at which the investment program might be liquidated.

In addition, other Masterworks affiliated issuers have filed offering statements which have not been qualified by the SEC. Such offering statements contain preliminary offering circulars which are incomplete, many of which do not currently identify the artist or the subject artwork.

In addition, Masterworks intends to sponsor offerings pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 506(c) of Regulation D or Regulation A, by affiliated entities that will invest the proceeds of such offerings in a portfolio of artwork, which may include an investment in our Class A shares.

*Dispositions*

Set forth below is a summary of the Masterworks affiliated issuers that have consummated a transaction to sell artwork or have entered into a binding agreement to sell artwork. After a sale has been consummated, such issuer commences the process of winding up and dissolving in accordance with its operating agreement. Except as set forth below, none of the artwork held by Masterworks affiliated Regulation A issuers has been sold as of the date hereof. Masterworks sells artwork opportunistically and therefore the actual returns achieved by investors in select issuers that have sold a painting are not indicative of the investment performance of shares offered by the majority of other Masterworks issuers that have not yet sold a painting and past performance is not indicative of future performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. "Net
 Annualized Return" refers to the annualized internal rate of return, or IRR, net of all fees and costs, to holders of Class
 A shares from the primary offering, calculated from the final closing date of such offering to the date the sale is consummated.
 A more detailed breakdown of the Net Annualized Return calculation for each issuer can be found in the respective Form 1-U linked,
 with the exception of Masterworks 003, LLC (See Note 2). A notation of "N/A", if applicable, indicates that the Net Annualized
 Return for such issuer is not yet finalized.

2. Net
 Annualized Return for Masterworks 003, LLC is based on an initial offering size of $1,039,000 and a sale price of $1,500,000, resulting
 in a distribution amount of $26.67 per Class A share (including 806 Class A shares issued in respect of Masterworks administrative
 service fees), after deduction of the Class B profit share equal to $87,996 and sale and liquidation expenses of $5,000, and a holding
 period of 378 days.

3. Net
 Annualized Return for Masterworks 002, LLC reflects $23.28 per Class A share distributed to shareholders after the (i) forfeiture
 by the Administrator of unvested shares issuable to it in respect of administrative fees and (ii) redemption for nominal consideration
 of all of the profit sharing interests represented by Class B ordinary shares held by Masterworks Gallery, LLC. If the forfeiture
 and redemption referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) had not occurred, the Net Annualized Return would have been 6.30%.

**About the Art Market**

*Primary Sources of Publicly Available Data*

There are currently a limited number of sources of publicly available data on the art market. Below are leading sources often relied upon for information:

● Art Basel, a promoter of art fairs and a subsidiary of MCH Group, an international marketing organization & UBS, an international banking organization, publish the Art Market Report, which we refer to as the Art Basel Report, annually in March. Until recently, the report was published by the same art economist in collaboration with TEFAF.

● Deloitte Luxembourg, a division of a global financial services company & ArtTactic, an art market research and analytics company, jointly publish the Art and Finance Report biannually in November.

● Artnet, an art market website operated by Artnet Worldwide Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Artnet, AG, a German publicly traded company.

● ArtPrice, an art market website operated by ArtMarket.com, a French publicly-traded company controlled by Groupe Serveur.

● ArtTactic, an art market website operated by ArtTactic Limited, a London-based private art market research company.

● Major auction houses, including Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips, among others, regularly publish data pertaining to upcoming and past auctions sales, both online and in paper catalogues. Masterworks reviews and compiles such data to derive additional analysis in the form of art market indices and summarized statistics on artists' markets.

Statistical data relating to the art market is difficult to obtain, incomplete, or inconsistent. It is a substantially unregulated industry. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any data or general information related to the art market.

*Summary*

The global art market is comprised of a network of auction houses, dealers, galleries, advisors, agents, individual collectors, museums, public institutions, and various experts and service providers engaged in the purchase and sale of unique and collectible works of art. We estimate that the total value of artwork held by private collectors is approximately $1.7 trillion, based on data included in the *Deloitte Art and Finance Report 2019*. Over the past decade, total estimated annual art sales have ranged from $50.1 billion to $68.2 billion and have grown at approximately 20% from 2006 through 2021.

Based on *The Art Market Report 2022*, published jointly by Art Basel and UBS, global art sales totaled $65.1 billion in 2021. Global art sales were up 29% in 2021 as compared to 2020, the largest Year-Over-Year increase since 2010, when, largely as a result of the financial crises, sales had fallen by 36% in 2009. The revival of in person auctions and growth in online sales were the main contributors to the growth in transaction volume.

Through the first half of 2022, global auction sales from Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips totaled $7.4 billion in the first half of 2022, up 25% from $5.9 billion in the first half 2021 and over 300% from $1.8 billion in the first half of 2020. This rise in sales puts the premium end of the auction market at its highest level ever for the first six months of 2022. The only slowdown seemed to come from digital sales. After leveraging online platforms during the pandemic, the auction houses' return to physical sales has slowed the growth of the Online-Only auction market. The three houses combined generated $437.7 million in Online-Only sales in the first half of 2022, which was down from $670.7 million during the same period in 2021 but still an increase from 2020, when Online-Only sales in the first half of the year totaled $394.7 million. Despite the moderate slow down, the major auction houses seem committed to building out their digital sale capabilities as a record 326,000 lots sold in the first half of 2022 versus 313,400 in the first half of 2021.

The top auction houses are increasingly focusing on younger and emerging artists, which has helped drive the Post-War and Contemporary art category to the top, with sales totals of $2.5 billion in that category in the first half of 2022, a 19% increase from $2.1 billion in the first half of 2021. Closely following, and boosted by the trend of prominent Single-Owner collections, was the Impressionist and Modern art category, which raised totals of $2.4 billion in the first half of 2022, a 57% increase year-over-year from $1.5 billion in the first half of 2021. Combined, these two collecting segments accounted for 67% of the global sales by Sotheby's, Christie's and Phillips in the first half of 2022, up from 62% in the first half of 2021.

In general, the global art market is influenced by the overall strength and stability of the global economy, geopolitical conditions, capital markets and world events, all of which may affect the willingness of potential buyers and sellers to purchase and sell art. While the global art market is large, its exact size is unknown and statistical data is inconsistent. Much of the uncertainty stems from differing estimates of the size of the private dealer and gallery market, which is based on survey data, but disparities also exist in reported auction sales.

*Observations on the Historical Progression of Art Prices*

The following are general observations based on a repeat-sales index of historical art market prices computed based on a value weighted-basis and focused on the Post-War & Contemporary Art category, as developed by Masterworks:

● The Post-War & Contemporary Art category showed price appreciation at an estimated annualized rate of 13.3% from the year ended December 31, 1995 to June 30, 2022, versus 9.1% for the S&P 500 Index (includes dividends reinvested) for the same period.

● Correlation factor of 0.06 between Post-War & Contemporary Art and the S&P 500 Index based on annual price performance from the year ended December 31, 1995 to June 30, 2022.

● Resilience of art market transaction volume through periods of financial stress (e.g., 2001-2, 2008-9, 2020).

● We believe these above characteristics present the investment case for art as a possible risk diversifier.

*Art Appraisals, Valuation, and Auction Estimates*

The fair market value of art and other unique collectibles is generally assessed by expert appraisers using relative valuation techniques by analyzing historical comparative transactions involving similar works, characteristics of the specific work, supply and demand factors, subjective perceptions of value, among other factors. However, there is no efficient market that determines the price of an artwork and there is no standardized art valuation methodology.

There is tremendous variability in the market value of individual artwork by any given artist. These differences are influenced by the perceived quality of the work, materials, condition, color, size, subject matter, provenance and other factors.

Auction houses generally estimate the sale price of an artwork prior to conducting a sale. Such sale estimates are intended to provide general guidance to potential bidders regarding the expected price outcome of the artwork, however estimates may not be "arm's length" and are often negotiated with the selling party. Therefore, they cannot be used as unbiased guidelines in determining the value of an artwork.

*Private and Gallery Sales*

The private art market is made up of a network of galleries, dealers, art fairs and other intermediaries that sell artwork in privately negotiated transactions, in which transactions are generally not publicly reported. Galleries and other intermediaries that sell high end art have extensive relationships with artists, critics, collectors and others in the art market and are often driven by self-interested objectives, such as enhancing the reputation and market value of artists they represent or the market value of their inventory. Accordingly, galleries can be highly selective in determining which collectors are permitted to purchase from them, preferring those who are likely to hold works for a long period of time and enhance the provenance of a piece. Most private and gallery sales are confidential. Sellers generally determine pricing in private sales in which the dealer or gallery acts as an intermediary in negotiating a transaction with a buyer.

According to the 2020 Art Basel Report, auction sales accounted for an estimated 38% of total sales by dollar volume in 2019, as compared to approximately 43% in 2018 with the balance accounted for by the private market. Auction houses are also increasingly participating in the private market, brokering non-auction sales transactions. The relative size of the private dealer and gallery market as compared to the auction market tends to shift based on overall market sentiment, where market optimism tends to bolster auction sales.

*Auction Sales*

The auction market is made of a network of global and regional auction houses that conduct regular sales of artwork and other collectibles in a public auction format, as well as provide other art-related services. In general, the auction market is more transparent and more open than the private sales market as sale prices are determined through open competition, in which any qualified individual can participate and potentially buy the offered work. Interested buyers place sequential ascending bids in a format referred to by economists as an English Auction. Works which are offered for sale by the auction house on behalf of a potential seller, also referred to as a consignor, are often referred to as lots, which may be comprised of one or more items; most artwork is sold as individual lots. Auction sales occur at a fixed time and are a matter of public record. Bidders determine the price of a piece in an auction sale, though the consignor typically sets a reserve floor price below which they would be unwilling to sell the work. A low and high estimate of the sale price is set by the auction house, with the consignor's input, based on a variety of factors, including the prior sales history, market factors like supply considerations and the reserve price floor. If a consignor does not agree with the estimate range proposed by the auction house, they can elect not to consign the work for sale or can withdraw a consignment. Auction houses often set estimates at levels to either entice bidders to participate or potential consignors to offer their work at auction, thus estimates should not necessarily be viewed as proxies for determining market value.

The price at which an auctioneer declares an item sold at a public auction, referred to as the "hammer price," does not reflect either the amount realized by a consignor or the price paid by a buyer. In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder must pay the so-called "buyer's premium," which is effectively a commission on the sale that ranges between 14.5% and 26% of the hammer price. The economics received by a consignor in an auction can vary widely. For works of relatively low value, consignors may also be required to pay a seller's commission to the auction house. For higher value works, consignors often pay no commissions and may be entitled to receive a portion of the buyer's premium, if not the full amount of the purchase price.

The public nature of auction sales can pose certain risks for consignors. A work that fails to sell at auction as a result of not attracting a bid in excess of the reserve price, will often be much harder to sell in the future. The rate at which artworks fail to sell at public auction, referred to as the "buy-in rate," is generally around 30%, according to publicly available data. The value of an artwork is highly subjective, so a failure to sell a piece at auction is damaging to the perceived value of the work, a concept referred to the art industry as "burning" the work.

In order to attract high-value consignments, an auction house may offer a guaranteed minimum price to a consignor. In exchange, the consignor agrees, if the final sale is in excess of the guaranteed amount, to pay the auction house a certain percentage of sale proceeds above the guaranteed amount. To offset the risk of a sale below the amount guaranteed to the consignor, an auction house may also secure a minimum guaranteed bid from a potential buyer, also known as a "third-party guarantee" or "irrevocable bid". These guarantees effectively provide certainty that a successful sale will occur. The economic terms of guarantees and irrevocable bids are not typically disclosed and can vary widely based on negotiations between the relevant parties.

Auction houses publicly report total sale prices that reflect the hammer price (i.e. the price at which the auctioneer declared the winning bid), plus the buyer's premium, but tend to exclude applicable taxes, fees and royalties, which are typically paid by the purchaser. The buyer's premium schedule is published by the auction house and is updated or revised periodically. The buyer's premium (inclusive of any additional "Overhead Premium," if applicable) for the New York salesroom of each of the major auction houses as of the date of this offering circular is as follows (percentages and USD amounts relate to the hammer price):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Sotheby's** | **Christie's** | **Phillips** |
| 26% up to and including $400,000 | 25% up to and including $600,000 | 26% up to and including $600,000 |
| 21% from $400,001 to $4.0 million | 20% from $600,001 to $6.0 million | 21% from $600,001 to $6.0 million |
| 14.9% above $4.0 million | 14.5% above $6.0 million | 14.5% above $6.0 million |

---

The amount of the published sale price a consignor receives is typically reduced by all or a portion of the buyer's premium and, in some cases for high value items, a sales commission. The percentage of the buyer's premium received by the consignor, if any, and the amount of any sales commission payable by the consignor, if any, are negotiated between the consignor and the auction house and vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the value and importance of the specific work, whether the work is sold as an individual piece or part of a larger collection, anticipated demand levels and other factors. For high value items auction houses often waive the sales commission and rebate a portion of the buyer's premium to the consignor, which is commonly referred to in the industry as an "enhanced hammer."

Auction houses do not publicly report the economic terms of transactions with consignors, so the Company cannot determine with any degree of confidence what percentage of a sale price would be received by the Company upon consummation of an auction sale. In addition, the economics receivable by a seller are less favorable if the work is subject to a pre-auction guaranty. Based on experience, we believe that it would be reasonable to expect that the net pre-tax cash proceeds receivable by the Company in an auction sale would be approximately 80% to 90% of the published sale price, however, the net result could fall outside of this range. The existence of any such guarantee arrangement would provide greater certainty of success at auction, but could reduce the sales proceeds received by the Company.

**About Art as an Investment**

Fine art, in the form of paintings, sculpture, drawings and all manner of unique collectibles, has been collected for centuries. Founded in 1744, Sotheby's had been the oldest listed Company on the New York Stock Exchange until it was taken private in October 2019. While art collectors can enjoy the aesthetic and societal benefits of art ownership and patronage, works of art can equally be valuable assets that deliver financial, as well as emotional rewards to their owners. Art has often acted as a store of wealth, with price appreciation in excess of U.S. consumer price inflation over the long term. Many of those who collect art therefore do so with an eye upon its investment potential as well as its aesthetic appeal. Put simply, art can be considered an investable asset class.

In general, art as an investment bears the following characteristics:

● Demand for artwork generally coincides with wealth creation among the global ultra-high-net-worth community.

● Supply of artwork, particularly at the high-end of the market, is relatively fixed or otherwise scarce.

● Art is an internationally marketable good that can be transacted in any locale or currency.

● Art is a tangible, mobile store of value without a currency-specific denomination nor tied to a financial cash-flow.

*Historical Art Price Indices*

The historical performance of prices in the art market can be estimated using different techniques and is generally derived from publicly available auction sales results. General statistical summaries of past prices, such as historical average or median prices, can provide a broad sense of price direction across the art market or for a specific artist. However, given that the supply of art transacted in any given period is not homogenous, changes in average or median prices from period-to-period may not be reflective of changes in the underlying value of the artwork, but may reflect varying quality or other characteristics that were present in the artwork sold.

Art market indices provide an alternative means to gauge market performance. A number of techniques have been developed in this regard. A repeat-sales-based index follows a methodology similar to that used to estimate home price appreciation, most notably through the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index. The best-known repeat-sales index for the art market is the Sotheby's Mei Moses, which was originally developed in 2002 by New York University Stern School of Business Professors Jianping Mei, PhD and Michael Moses, PhD, and was later acquired by Sotheby's in 2016. The Sotheby's Mei Moses indices control for differing levels of quality, size, color, maker, and aesthetics of a work of art by analyzing repeat sales. Another methodology is the hedonic price index, which estimates the historical progression of prices based on analysis of all available transactions and controlling for certain "hedonic" characteristics, such as artist name, dimension, medium, art category, among others. The use of these techniques, among others, provides insight into the behavior of art as an investment.

*Observations on the Historical Progression of Art Prices*

The following are general observations based on a repeat-sales index of historical art market prices computed based on a value weighted-basis and focused on the Post-War & Contemporary Art category, as developed by Masterworks:

● The Post-War & Contemporary Art category showed price appreciation at an estimated annualized rate of 13.3% from the year ended December 31, 1995 to June 30, 2022, versus 9.1% for the S&P 500 Index (includes dividends reinvested) for the same period.

● Correlation factor of 0.06 between Post-War & Contemporary Art and the S&P 500 Index based on annual price performance from the year ended December 31, 1995 to June 30, 2022.

● Resilience of art market transaction volume through periods of financial stress (e.g., 2001-2, 2008-9, 2020).

● We believe these above characteristics present the investment case for art as a possible risk diversifier.

**The Artist**

*The discussions contained in this offering circular relating to the artist, the Artwork and the art industry are taken from third-party sources that the Company believes to be reliable and the Company believes that the information from such sources contained herein regarding the artist, the Artwork and the art industry is reasonable, and that the factual information therein is fair and accurate.*

Brooklyn-based artist Brian Donnelly, also known as KAWS (American, b. 1974), has become a global phenomenon, known for his appropriation of pop culture iconography. Donnelly was born in Jersey City, New Jersey and in elementary school, he became interested in graffiti. He began copying imagery on paper, soon adopting the name "KAWS" as his moniker. In the early 1990s, Donnelly moved to New York City and developed his now iconic graffiti style. Around this time, artist Barry McGee gave KAWS a key that allowed him to unlock the advertising display boards on the city's phone booths and bus shelters. KAWS would modify these stolen advertisements, replacing the faces of fashion models with his signature characters, and return them days later. This takeover of the city's advertising infrastructure brought him fame beyond the countercultural world of graffiti. KAWS received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) and after his graduation in 1996, began to work as a freelance artist for Disney, where he created animated background imagery for film and television. In the late 1990s, Donnelly began producing limited-edition cast vinyl toys based on his oeuvre of created characters. In 1999, the artist's first solo exhibition was held at Colette in Paris. One of the early iterations of Donnelly's recurring characters is Companion, which was first produced in 1999 as a limited edition toy made in collaboration with Japanese streetwear brand, Bounty Hunter. Described as an altered version of the iconic Mickey Mouse character, Companions feature a skull face with characteristic X-form eyes, a carry over from his early graffiti days vandalizing Calvin Klein ads in NYC. Companions and subsequent toy-versions of KAWS' characters have amassed international popularity and collaborations with artists and brands, including Medicom Toy, A Bathing Ape, Supreme, Nike and Comme des Garçons.

KAWS follows a tradition inherited from the first generation of New York street artists, whose inimitable style helped them transition from street art to auction mainstays and household names, including Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. In the last three years, the art market has caught up with popular culture and the demand for KAWS' work has grown on a global scale. From 2008 to 2019, the artist was represented by Perrotin gallery, who mounted nine solo exhibitions across their international locations, and he is currently represented by Skarstedt gallery. The artist has also been the subject of several international exhibitions, including "OriginalFake," which took place in 2003 at the BAPE Gallery in Tokyo, "KAWS: DOWN TIME" at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA and the 2020 collaboration with Acute Art titled "EXPANDED HOLIDAY," a two week long exhibition of virtual reality artworks which took place simultaneously in twelve major cities across the world. A retrospective of the artist's work was mounted at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia in 2019 through 2020. In 2021, the Brooklyn Museum opened "KAWS: WHAT PARTY," a comprehensive survey show, featuring over 100 works and several new pieces. From January through February 2022, the Serpentine North Gallery in London mounted an exhibition of the artist's work, titled "KAWS: NEW FICTION," which marked KAWS' first major solo show in London. The exhibition presented works in the physical gallery space while a virtual recreation was simultaneously launched on the gaming platform Fortnite. As of January 4, 2023, the top auction records for KAWS are led by "The Kaws Album" (2005), which sold for HKD 115,966,000 ($14,772,676) at Sotheby's, Hong Kong on April 1, 2019, followed by "Untitled (Kimpsons)" (2004), which sold for HKD 49,000,000 ($7,378,854) at Sotheby's, Hong Kong on October 6, 2019, and "The Walk Home" (2012), which sold for $5,955,000 at Phillips, New York on May 16, 2019.

**The Painting**

Acting as agent for the Company, Masterworks has agreed to acquire the Painting, which measures at 96 inches by 96 inches, in a privately negotiated transaction from a private gallery for $600,000 on December 20, 2022.

● The Painting is a characteristic, large-scale example that exemplifies KAWS' ongoing adaptation of the visual icons in American animation and Pop culture.

● Executed in 2011, the Painting is an example of the artist's ongoing tondo series. Deriving from the Italian "rotondo" or "round," and a typical format employed by Renaissance painters, the circular-shaped canvas emphasizes the subject and contains it within the frame. KAWS subverts this art historical tradition by depicting a close-cropped abstracted image of his recurring subject KAWSBob – his unique interpretation of the popular animated character SpongeBob SquarePants.

● KAWSBob's enlarged eyes and abstracted form appears buoyed behind a colorful, dynamic composition of unmoored planks and bricks that fill the frame and visually appear to jut outward, extending beyond the compositional edges and into the viewer's space.

● The character's bulging eyes bear KAWS' trademark "X" symbols, which introduces a psychologically ambivalent element to the traditionally cheerful characters. Curator Germano Celant, writing in a 2010 monograph of KAWS' work, states "by giving the comics a new face, the artist aspire[s] to update their past, which is not simply playful and lyrical, but can also be frightening and deathly."

● With its simplified detail, crisp lines and saturated colors, the Painting appears precise and evenly rendered, as if lifted directly from a television screen or comic strip. By removing all discernable trace of the artist's hand, KAWS dissolves the traditional distinction between fine art and mass media, thus creating a universal and accessible work reminiscent of influential Pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

● Measuring at approximately eight feet in diameter, the Painting is among KAWS' larger, more immersive formats. The artist's tondos vary in size: the smallest to appear at auction measure less than two feet in diameter, while the largest are similar in scale to the Painting.

● As of January 4, 2023, tondos comparable in size to the Painting have sold in excess of $400,000 at auction. These include: "UNTITLED" (2013), which sold for HKD 3,276,000 ($417,326) at Phillips, Hong Kong, on June 22, 2022, "THE GREAT BELOW" (2011), which sold for $529,200 at Phillips, New York on September 21, 2021, and "GOTTA EAT" (2011), which sold for £615,000 ($796,493) at Sotheby's, London on February 11, 2020.

● The Painting's subject, format and composition make it a commercial and desirable work by KAWS.

**Highlights**

● Attractive historical price appreciation for similar works to the Painting: 14.6% CAGR implied from selected sales occurring from February 9, 2016 to June 22, 2022.<sup>(1)</sup>

**History of Selected Similar Sales**

The table and chart below capture the historical data for selected auctions sales transactions, which are similar to the Painting. The selected sales data is intended to provide an estimate of the historical appreciation rate of the Painting by looking at a set of similar works by the artist that have sold at public auction. The set of similar sales comprise paintings by KAWS with the following criteria: canvas paintings executed in a tondo format that measure 70 inches by 70 inches and larger, and excluding depictions of "Snoopy" and/or other "Peanuts" characters, and monochromatic depictions of KAWSBob. The data was sourced from publicly available auction records and does not include private sales. Such data may be incomplete or inaccurate. Sale records that do not contain images may be excluded from the comparative set. Although the paintings in the described set have similar characteristics to the Painting, each individual painting is unique in terms of artistic content, coloring, condition, provenance and other factors. We, therefore, cannot make any determination or representation that any of the data set forth below is useful in determining the value of the Painting and you are urged not to place undue reliance on such data. The art transaction data is not intended to indicate past or expected performance of any security. Similar sales may include transactions involving Masterworks acting as a buyer or seller. For the purposes of the table below, any sale that was conducted in a foreign currency has been converted to US Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate as of the applicable sale date. The realized prices comprised by this set of transactions have increased at an estimated 14.6% CAGR implied from selected sales occurring from February 9, 2016 to June 22, 2022.

**Market Risk-Adjusted Appreciation**

The risk-adjusted appreciation, otherwise known as "Sharpe Ratio", can be used to evaluate the total performance of an asset, portfolio, or in this case the artist's market, and indicates how well the artist's market has performed historically in comparison to the rate of return on a risk-free investment, such as U.S. government treasury bonds or bills. The market for KAWS has a risk-adjusted appreciation of 1.27. Risk-adjusted appreciation reflects (x) the average annualized artist market appreciation (depreciation) of all artworks by an artist that have sold at least twice at public auction (referred to as "repeat sales"), minus the risk-free rate of return. The risk-free rate of return is measured by the average annual risk-free rate at year end over the applicable time period, divided by (y) the volatility of the returns in an artist's market, as measured by the standard deviation of those returns. The applicable time period begins on the later of (a) the earliest purchase price date for the artist's first repeat sale and (b) December 31, 1989, the year end of the earliest year when other financial indices were available, and ends on the last sale date that the artist had a repeat sale. "Repeat sales" exclude artworks of an artist that were held for less than 1 year, meaning that an artwork was bought and sold at public auction in a span of less than 365 days, but may include transactions involving Masterworks acting as buyer or seller, and only include artworks reflective of the artist's main medium, as defined by Masterworks. This analysis is based on public records as tracked by Masterworks and by third-party data sources.

Volatility represents the variation in the historical returns or price appreciation (depreciation) of an asset class over a set period of time. Higher volatility generally means more risk, and lower volatility generally means less risk, although volatility should not be considered a proxy for risk. This risk-adjusted appreciation metric should be considered in connection with other performance metrics, including the estimated historical CAGR implied from selected comparable sales.

**Record Price Appreciation**

A "record price" reflects the highest hammer price (excluding auction house buyer's premium) achieved at a public auction for any artwork by a particular artist. The art market considers the progression of record hammer prices to be an indication of an artist's market momentum and growth rate. Paintings by KAWS have a record price compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 92.2% from Match 14, 2009 to September 30, 2022. This calculation is based on (i) a record price of $1,815 on March 14, 2009, the earliest date that a painting by the artist was sold at public auction according to publicly available data and (ii) $12,738,800, the most recent record price as of September 30, 2022, the date that the Masterworks internal public sale database was last populated with artist market records. This analysis is based on public records as tracked by Masterworks and third-party data sources. Past record hammer price trends may not be indicative of future trends.

**Median Repeat Sale Pair Appreciation**

Median repeat sale pair appreciation reflects the median annualized price appreciation rate of all artworks by an artist that have sold at least twice at public auction (referred to as "repeat sales"). Repeat sale pair appreciation rates can be a useful measure of the progression of prices in a particular artist's market over time. The median repeat sale pair appreciation for KAWS is 46.7%, which is based on 18 repeat sales during the time period beginning on the first purchase price date for the artist's earliest repeat sales pair, which in the case of KAWS was February 13, 2010 and ending on the last date a repeat sale occurred for such artist, which in the case of KAWS was November 29, 2021. "Repeat sales" exclude artworks of an artist that were held for less than 1 year, meaning that an artwork was bought and sold at public auction in a span of less than 365 days, but may include transactions involving Masterworks acting as buyer or seller, and only include artworks reflective of the artist's main medium, as defined by Masterworks. This analysis is based on public records as tracked by Masterworks and third-party data sources. Past repeat sale appreciation rates may not be indicative of future repeat sale appreciation rates.

**While the data above reflects historical price appreciation in the value of selected works by KAWS, investors in this offering will only receive net proceeds from the sale of the Painting, if any, after the sale of the Painting and only after reduction of fees and expenses payable by the company are paid. In addition, the past performance of KAWS paintings is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on the historical trends reflected in this data.**

**INDICES ARE UNMANAGED. AN INVESTOR CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX. INDICES ARE USED FOR COMPARATIVE MODELLING PURPOSES ONLY. THE TIMING OF TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO AN ASSET OR PORTFOLIO, ADVISORY, AND TRANSACTION FEES, AND OTHER MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES CAN CREATE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PERFORMANCE OF AN INDEX AND AN INVESTMENT SEEKING SIMILAR OR SUPERIOR RELATIVE PERFORMANCE RESULTS.**

**The above disclosures in this section represent auction sales only and do not purport to include data regarding the total number of KAWS paintings currently in existence. The Company has been unable to find a reliable source of information regarding the total number of KAWS paintings currently in existence and therefore is unable to provide such information at this time.**

**Management Services**

There are various services required to manage our business and maintain the Artwork. Pursuant to a management services agreement that will be entered into prior to the initial closing between us, Masterworks Cayman and the Administrator, the Administrator will manage all entity-level and asset management services relating to our business and the Artwork. The Administrator will receive aggregate fees and expense reimbursement for management services in the form of Class A preferred shares at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum, commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. The management services fee may commence before the final closing date in the limited circumstances described above because occasionally Masterworks issuers experience delays in receipt of investor subscription funds which delays the final closing, however, the provision of management services commences when the Artwork is acquired by the Company which occurs on the date of the initial closing. These Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement. Subject to those vesting provisions, these equity issuances to Masterworks will result in dilution to Class A shareholders. The share issuance in respect of fees and routine reimbursements to Masterworks will be made on a quarterly basis in arrears. Each Class A preferred share will convert into one Class A ordinary share (i) automatically upon transfer to any entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator or (ii) otherwise in the Administrator's sole discretion. The Administrator may also reduce unearned management fees or voluntarily forfeit any unvested management fees in its sole discretion.

Any extraordinary costs or non-routine services, if any, will be managed and paid for by the Administrator, but such extraordinary costs will be reimbursed upon the sale of the Artwork or a sale of our Company, as applicable. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time.

*Ordinary and necessary entity-level administrative and maintenance costs include:*

● Costs associated with SEC filings and compliance with applicable laws;

● Transfer agent fees, if any;

● Costs associated with the Templum ATS;

● Other fees associated with the Offering; and

● Accounting.

*Ordinary and necessary Artwork-level administrative and maintenance costs include:*

● Storage costs;

● Insurance costs;

● Display or gallery costs; and

● Crating and shipping costs related to traveling exhibitions;

*Extraordinary or non-routine costs for which the Administrator shall be entitled to seek reimbursement from us, as applicable, include:*

● Payments associated with litigation, judicial proceedings or arbitration (regardless of whether or not the Company is a named defendant or party to such litigation), including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, settlements or judgments;

● Costs associated with any material transactions, such as any third-party costs and expenses incurred in connection with any merger, third-party tender offer or other similar transaction;

● Costs and taxes, if any, associated with selling the Artwork; and

● Conservation, restoration, reframing and other expenditures that increase the value of the Artwork.

*Sale of the Artwork without a third-party intermediary:*

● Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time.

*Potential Conflicts of Interest*

Our agreements with our affiliated entities and distribution participants raise various conflicts of interests in which the best interest of our Administrator and our affiliates may differ from the best interest of holders of the Class A shares.

*Conflicts of Interest include but are not limited to the following:*

● Masterworks may at some point in the future seek to register to become a broker-dealer and a member of FINRA to enable it to earn transactional fees for trading the Class A shares or it may seek to earn administrative or other fees or recoup its costs associated with making a trading market available. The operation of a trading market in the Class A shares by Masterworks or the receipt of trading or administrative fees would create conflicts of interest. If such activities generate profits, our affiliates will be incentivized not to sell the Artwork and liquidate us, even in situations in which a sale of the Artwork is in the best interest of holders of the Class A shares. Masterworks does not earn any fees from operation of the Templum ATS.

● In exchange for management and custodial services and paying all ordinary and necessary operating costs and expenses, Masterworks will receive equity interests in us. These equity issuances to Masterworks will, subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement, result in dilution of 1.5% per annum to Class A shareholders. These dilutive issuances shall commence following the final closing of the Offering.

● Neither the Board of Managers, the Administrator, or its members, will be required to manage or administer our operations, as applicable, as their sole and exclusive function and they will have other business interests and will engage in other activities in addition to those relating to us. We depend on the Administrator to successfully operate us. Their other business interests and activities could divert time and attention from operating our business.

● Our operating agreement contains provisions that limit remedies available to our investors against the Board of Managers, and the management services agreement contains certain provisions that limit the remedies available to our investors against the Administrator and its affiliates and us for actions that might otherwise constitute a breach of duty. Our operating agreement contains provisions limiting the liability of the Board of Managers and the management services agreement contains certain provisions limiting the liability of the Administrator and its affiliates which also reduces remedies available to investors for certain acts by such person or entity.

● Certain investment adviser representatives of Arete Wealth Advisors, LLC, or Arete RIA, are exclusively dedicated to providing advisory services with respect to Masterworks financial products. Masterworks, directly or indirectly, pays the compensation of these individuals. As a result, these individuals have conflicts of interest and lack the independence of other investment professionals who provide more generalized investment advice.

● Scott Lynn, the Chief Executive Officer of Masterworks.io, is an art collector and is able to control the activities of all of the Masterworks entities. Mr. Lynn is also the Chief Executive Officer of our Administrator. Mr. Lynn could have conflicts between business with his personal art collection and business with the Masterworks entities.

● Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, it would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time.

Therefore, the interests of the Administrator and the other affiliates may differ significantly from those of investors in the Offering and subsequent holders of the Class A shares. As a result, we cannot assure investors that we will execute a discretionary sale of the Artwork at a time that is in the best interests of holders of the Class A shares.

**Selling the Artwork**

Our intention is to own the Artwork for an indefinite period, although we may elect to hold the Artwork for a longer period or sell the Artwork at any time due to certain circumstances. We, in our sole and absolute discretion, will have the ability, to sell the Artwork at any time and in any manner.

The Administrator will continuously offer the Artwork for sale and if any person offers to purchase the Artwork at any point in time, the Board of Managers will determine whether, and the terms upon which, the Artwork will be sold.

The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. There is no guaranty that any such sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time. Masterworks will be entitled to reimbursement for costs and expenses associated with any such transaction and may earn fees from such transactions to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and there can be no assurance that there will be any remaining net proceeds to be distributed after payment of such costs and expenses.

Following a sale of the Artwork, Masterworks will be reimbursed for any expenses for which it is responsible, including applicable sales commissions, income taxes, if any, and other transactional, extraordinary and non-routine expenses and other expenditures to enhance the value of the Artwork. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, Masterworks would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time. Following the payment of all of such expenses and fees, we will distribute the remaining proceeds, if any, in accordance with our operating agreement. Following such distribution, we will be liquidated. However, there can be no assurance as to the timing of a liquidating distribution or that we will pay a liquidating distribution at all.

**Competition**

At the time we attempt to sell the Artwork, we may face substantial competition from other entities and individuals who are selling or seeking to sell similar artwork. These other parties may be better funded and may be able to sell their artworks at a lower price than us. Further, we will face significant risks from other competitive factors, such as the available supply of similar artworks for sale.

**Government Regulation**

***Art Market Regulation***

Art as tangible personal property is subject to regulation under different city, state and federal statutory schemes. Generally, domestic art transactions that are conducted within the United States are subject to state Uniform Commercial Code statutes, which govern the sale of goods. Some states have additionally enacted art specific legislation, such as New York's Arts and Cultural Affairs Law and California's Resale Royalty Act. In addition, federal statutes such as the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act and the National Stolen Property Act can apply to title disputes in the art market context. International art transactions involving the import and export of art into and out of the United States will subject us to the rules and regulations established by the United States Customs and Border Protection. Further, we and Masterworks will be subject to the requirements of the federal Cultural Property Implementation Act which is the United States' accession legislation for the 1970 United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention which protects countries' cultural property, including artwork. New York City, as a major art auction center, has enacted legislation governing the activities of auctioneers in the New York City Administrative Code and Masterworks may be subject to these regulations through its transactions and financing arrangements with auctioneers.

***Patriot Act***

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Patriot Act) is intended to strengthen the ability of U.S. law enforcement agencies and intelligence communities to work together to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The Patriot Act, to which we are subject, has significant implications for depository institutions, brokers, dealers and other businesses involved in the transfer of money. The Patriot Act required us to implement policies and procedures relating to anti-money laundering, compliance, suspicious activities, and currency transaction reporting and due diligence on customers. The Patriot Act also requires federal banking regulators to evaluate the effectiveness of an applicant in combating money laundering in determining whether to approve a proposed bank acquisition.

**ORGANIZATION**

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on October 17, 2022 by Masterworks in order to facilitate an investment in the Artwork. We are a manager-managed limited liability company managed by a Board of Managers. The Class A shares to be sold in this Offering when issued, together will represent 80% of interests in us and have very limited approval and voting rights in connection with the sale of the Artwork as further described in this offering circular and voting on certain amendments to our operating agreement, management services agreement and other certain rights pursuant to our operating agreement.

The Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters, including: mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, winding up and dissolution; except, the Board of Managers will not have the authority without first obtaining the prior approval or consent of holders of a majority of the voting shares, to amend, waive or fail to comply with any material provision of our operating agreement that adversely and disproportionately affects the Class A shareholders, except as provided therein.

**EMPLOYEES**

As of January 4, 2023, we had no full-time employees and no part-time employees. All of our day-to-day operations are managed by our Administrator.

**LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

There are no legal proceedings currently pending against us which would have a material effect on our business, financial position or results of operations and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened. It is possible that we will find ourselves involved in litigation, in which case we will be wholly reliant on the Administrator to address such litigation as necessary. If the Administrator settles a case or receives and adverse judgment, the Administrator would then be reimbursed upon a sale of the Artwork pursuant to the terms of the management services agreement.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on October 17, 2022 by Masterworks to facilitate investment in the Artwork. We have not conducted any operations prior to the date of this offering circular and will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to the ownership, maintenance, promotion and the eventual sale of the Artwork. We have not yet commenced operations and have no (or nominal) assets or liabilities at this time. Accordingly, we have not presented financial statements in this offering circular, though we have described below certain critical accounting policies that we intend to adopt following our acquisition of the Artwork. We plan to engage an auditor to audit our financial statements after the qualification of this Offering by the SEC. Following this Tier II Regulation A offering, we will include audited financial statements in our annual reports with the SEC on Form 1-K containing our financial statements for such fiscal year, presented in accordance with GAAP, including a balance sheet and statements of operations, company equity and cash flows, with such statements having been audited by an accountant selected by the Company.

Our strategy will be to display and promote the Artwork in a manner designed to enhance its provenance and increase its exposure and its value. We are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that will materially affect our operations or the liquidity or capital resources of the Administrator.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles will be based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding of our post-Offering financial statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our financial statements.

**Investment in Artwork**

Investment in artwork will consist of the Artwork. Upon acquisition, the Artwork will be recorded at the original cost basis. The Artwork will be held in a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman. In accordance with ASC 810-10, the Company intends to consolidate the Masterworks Cayman segregated portfolio it owns as if it were a separate legal entity and not consolidate any other segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman.

Artwork is determined to have an indefinite life. The Company will review the artwork for impairment in accordance with the requirements of ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"). Those requirements will require the Company to perform an impairment analysis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the artwork might not be recoverable, i.e., information indicates that an impairment might exist. In accordance with ASC 360, the Company will:

● Consider whether indicators of impairment are present; Indicators or triggers of impairment management considers are: deteriorating physical condition of the artwork, trends in the art market, reputation of the artist, recent sales of other artworks by the artist and other events, circumstances or conditions that indicate impairment might exist;

● If indicators are present, perform a recoverability test by comparing the estimated amount realizable upon sale of the Artwork, to its carrying value; and

● If the amount realizable upon sale of the Artwork is deemed to be less than its carrying value, we would measure an impairment charge.

If it is determined that measurement of an impairment loss is necessary, the impairment loss would be calculated based on the difference between the carrying amount of the Artwork and its estimated fair value. An impairment loss would be reported as a component of income from continuing operations before income taxes in the financial statements.

**Use of Estimates**

In preparing our financial statements, management will be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts, particularly with respect to investments, at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts may differ materially from these estimates.

**True-up**

The true-up payable to Masterworks will be recorded as an expense, which will reduce members' equity.

**Contingencies**

We may be subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which may involve substantial dollar amounts) that can arise out of our normal business operations. We would continually assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to our contingencies, as well as potential amounts or ranges of probable losses, and recognize a liability, if any, for these contingencies based on a thorough analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, liabilities may change in the future due to new developments (including new discovery of facts, changes in legislation and outcomes of similar cases through the judicial system), changes in assumptions or changes in our settlement strategy.

**Income Taxes**

We expect that we will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not as an association or publicly traded partnership subject to tax as a corporation. As a partnership, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, each shareholder that is subject to U.S. tax will be required to take into account its distributive share, whether or not distributed, of each item of our income, gain, loss, deduction or credit. See "Material U.S. Federal Tax Considerations". The Administrator will have the authority to act on our behalf with respect to tax audits and certain other tax matters and to make such elections under the Internal Revenue Code and other relevant tax laws as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Administrator**

Masterworks will pay all costs associated with the development and operation of the Masterworks Platform, costs associated with the acquisition of the Artwork and all costs of our organization and this Offering. Masterworks will also be responsible for all ordinary and necessary costs for ongoing management expenses relating to our Company, Masterworks Cayman and the Artwork. In exchange for management and custodial services and paying all ordinary and necessary operating costs and expenses, Masterworks will receive equity interests in us. These equity issuances to Masterworks will, subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement, result in dilution of 1.5% per annum to Class A shareholders. These dilutive issuances will begin following the final closing of this Offering or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. We do not anticipate that we will maintain any material liquid assets and, accordingly, we will rely upon the Administrator to pay for the maintenance of the Artwork and the management of our business in accordance with the management services agreement.

The administrator has covenanted to provide us with selected unaudited balance sheet information on a semi-annual basis and we expect to include such information in reports we file with the SEC following the completion of this Offering. The table below summarizes selected unaudited balance sheet information of the Administrator as of June 30, 2022 and as of June 30, 2021, respectively:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30, 2022** | **June 30, 2021** |
| **Assets** | | |
| Current assets | $13285962 | $2644807 |
| Property and equipment, net | 953340 | 194188 |
| Deposits | 162902 | 59090 |
| Other assets | 2013436 | 810684 |
| Total assets | $16415640 | $3708769 |

| Total member's equity | $8505553 | $2267448 |

---

As of the final closing the Company will have no liabilities, commitments or obligations, other than obligations pursuant to the management services agreement as of such dates. We and the Administrator believe that revenues and expense reimbursements from the Company pursuant to the management services agreement, together with contributions from Masterworks derived from equity contributions from members, earnings generated primarily from sourcing artwork and cash on hand, will be sufficient for the Administrator to perform its obligations under the management services agreement for at least the first five-years following the Offering. We do not believe we will need to raise any additional funds through the issuance and sale of securities in the foreseeable future and are not permitted to do so under our operating agreement without first obtaining the prior approval of the Class A shareholders. The Administrator's source of financing is equity contributions from Masterworks.io, LLC. Masterworks.io, LLC was funded from its inception in 2017 through October 2021 through borrowings from Scott W. Lynn, the Founder of Masterworks. These borrowings were repaid in October 2021 and Masterworks is currently funded through equity contributions of approximately $110 million from private investors and cash flow from operations. The Administrator will earn fees in the form of additional Class A preferred shares issued by us and other similar issuer entities, which it may periodically sell to obtain additional liquidity, though such Class A preferred shares are subject to vesting requirements. The Class A preferred shares have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over Class A ordinary shares and each Class A preferred share can be converted into one Class A ordinary share at any time at the discretion of the holder of the Class A preferred share, and converts automatically upon transfer to an entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator. The direct incremental costs incurred by the Administrator to satisfy its obligations under the management services agreement are expected to be less than its revenues, though such revenues may be insufficient to cover the Administrator's overhead. In addition, the Administrator has covenanted in the management services agreement that for so long as such agreement remains in effect, the Administrator will maintain on hand cash reserves sufficient to pay at least one year of estimated expenses to satisfy its obligations under the management services agreement to fund the Company's operations until the sale of the Artwork.

The Administrator expects to conduct other business activities, including the management of other entities similar to the Company and expects that, with scale, the Administrator's revenues will exceed its costs. Further, as noted in the foregoing, the Administrator intends to engage in other business activities, including performing services similar to those to be provided to the Company to other companies, and the Company cannot estimate at this time what the aggregate costs and expenses of the Administrator will be with respect to such activities as they will depend on many factors. Additionally, we intend to own the Artwork for an indefinite period, although the Artwork will be perpetually available for sale following the Offering and we will evaluate any reasonable third party offers to acquire the Artwork.

**Commitments from Affiliates to Fund Operations**

We have a written commitment from the Administrator to fund our operations until we sell the Artwork which is contained in the management services agreement. In respect of such commitment and for management services, the Administrator will receive a management fee in the form of Class A preferred shares equal to 1.5% of the Class A shares outstanding per annum.

**Commitments from Affiliates to Fund Class A shares, Offering Costs and Expenses**

The costs associated with this Offering shall be paid by the Administrator rather than from the net proceeds of the Offering. None of these fees, costs or expenses will be reimbursable by the Company to Administrator, although Masterworks will receive an upfront payment, or "true-up" which is intended to be reasonable compensation for Masterworks' (i) performing sourcing services, including identification of the seller, research, analysis, evaluation, inspection, appraisal, due diligence and transaction negotiation and execution services to acquire the Artwork; (ii) commitments of capital to finance the acquisition of the Artwork, and (iii) administrative services and costs. The true-up is the only expense incurred by the Company and the only expense directly or indirectly incurred by investors in this Offering associated with sourcing and financing the Artwork and no other expense is directly or indirectly paid by the Company or investors in connection with the organization of the Company, the securitization of the Artwork or this Offering, including the marketing and underwriting costs associated with this Offering.

**MANAGEMENT**

**Our Administrator**

Our day to day operations are managed by the Administrator. The Administrator performs its duties and responsibilities pursuant to our operating agreement and management services agreement. Masterworks appointed the Administrator and the Board of Managers can only terminate the management services agreement with the prior written consent of Masterworks Gallery, LLC. The Administrator and its affiliates have the exclusive right and power to manage and operate our Company, subject to the powers of our Board of Managers and other than limited voting rights reserved under our operating agreement for the holders of the Class A shares.

As of the date of this filing, 100% of the membership interests of the Company are held by Masterworks. Our amended and restated operating agreement created four classes of membership interests of the Company in the form of Class A ordinary shares which are offered hereby, Class A preferred shares, Class B shares which are owned by Masterworks, as well as the Class C share.

**Summary of Management Services Agreement**

We plan to enter into a management services agreement with the Administrator and Masterworks Cayman, prior to the initial closing of this Offering.

The obligations of the Administrator to us are not exclusive. The Administrator may, in its discretion, render the same or similar services as rendered to us to any person or persons whose business may be in direct or indirect competition with us.

*Rights of the Administrator*

Pursuant to the management services agreement, the Administrator and its affiliates shall have the right to engage in the following activities, and will be responsible for all incremental costs associated with such activities (including taxes):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Rights
 to commercialize the Artwork for the duration of the operations of our Company;

The Administrator will display or exhibit the Artwork if and when the Administrator reasonably believes that such display or exhibition would increase the exposure, profile and appeal of the Artwork. In the event that any revenues are generated from such activities, the Administrator may choose to retain all or a portion of such revenues.

*Compensation of the Administrator and Reimbursement*

The Administrator will receive fees and expense reimbursement for its services from the Company in the form of Class A preferred shares at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum, commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. These Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement. Subject to such vesting provisions, these equity issuances to Masterworks will result in dilution to Class A shareholders of 1.5% per annum. Any extraordinary or non-routine services, if any, will be managed and paid for by the Administrator, but such extraordinary costs will be reimbursed upon the sale of the Artwork or a sale of our Company, as applicable. For more information, see "Management — Summary of Administrator Compensation".

*Sale of the Artwork without a third-party intermediary:*

 

Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time.

● Storage costs;

● Insurance costs;

● Display or gallery costs;

● Crating and shipping costs related to traveling exhibitions;

*Provision of Financial Information*

The Administrator will report to the Company on a semi-annual basis its current and total assets, current and total liabilities, and total equity and the Company intends to include such amounts in its SEC reports.

*Termination*

The term of the management services agreement will terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the dissolution of our Company; or (ii) our termination of the management services agreement on the terms set forth in the agreement.

Under the management services agreement, we may terminate the agreement at any time upon a vote of our members pursuant to our operating agreement following any of the following:

(i) The commission by the Administrator or any of its executive officers of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(ii) The conviction of the Administrator of a felony;

(iii) A material breach by the Administrator of the terms of the management services agreement which breach is not cured within 30 days after receipt by the Administrator of a notice of such breach from any member of our Company (provided that if such breach is not capable of cure within 30 days, and the Administrator is diligently taking steps to cure the breach, then no such event shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until the Administrator fails to cure such breach within 60 days after receiving notice thereof);

(iv) A material violation by the Administrator or any of its executive officers of any applicable law that has a material adverse effect on our business; or

(v) The bankruptcy or insolvency of the Administrator.

On the date of termination, or if we do not have the available funds on such date, then as soon as practicable after we do have the available funds, we will pay any accrued but unpaid costs subject to reimbursement owed to the Administrator through to such date. Any termination of the management services agreement will require the prior written consent of Masterworks Gallery, LLC.

*Indemnification*

Under the management services agreement we agreed to indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend the Administrator, its affiliates, any officer, member of the Board of Managers, employee or any direct or indirect partner, member or shareholder of the Administrator, any person who serves at the request of the Administrator on behalf of us (referred to herein as the "Indemnified Persons") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in enforcing the Indemnified Persons' rights to indemnification under the management services agreement. The indemnification under the management services agreement shall not apply to any actions, suits or proceedings in which one or more officers, member of the Board of Managers, partners, members or employees of the Administrator are making claims against the Administrator or one or more other officers, member of the Board of Managers, partners, members or employees of the Administrator.

*Amendment of Management Services Agreement*

Amendments to the management services agreement may be proposed only by or with the consent of the Administrator and may be approved by the Board of Managers, provided that any amendment that would be adverse or detrimental to the interests of members of the Company must be approved by holders of a majority of voting shares.

***Prohibited transactions under our operating agreement***

The Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters, including: mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, winding up and dissolution; except, the Board of Managers shall not have the authority to amend, waive or fail to comply with any material provision of our operating agreement that disproportionately and adversely affects the Class A shareholders, except as provided therein, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting shares.

***Sale of Artwork***

The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. The Artwork is effectively perpetually available for sale following the final closing of the Offering and we intend to promote the Artwork in ways we believe will enhance its visibility, value and exposure to the market. There is no guaranty that any such sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time. Masterworks will be entitled to reimbursement for costs and expenses associated with any such transaction and may earn fees from such transactions to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and there can be no assurance that there will be any remaining net proceeds to be distributed after payment of such costs and expenses.

Following a sale of the Artwork, the Company will pay or reimburse Masterworks for any expenses for which it is responsible, including applicable third-party sales commissions, income taxes, if any, and other transactional, extraordinary and non-routine expenses and other expenditures to enhance the value of the Artwork. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, it would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time. Following the payment of all of such taxes, expenses and fees, we will distribute the remaining proceeds to our shareholders in accordance with our operating agreement. There can be no assurance as to the timing of a liquidating distribution or that we will pay a liquidating distribution at all.

**Summary of Administrator Compensation and Expense Reimbursement**

The Administrator will receive fees and expense reimbursement for its services from the Company in the form of Class A preferred shares at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum. The Class A preferred shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares offered in this Offering Circular, except they carry a $20.00 per share liquidation preference. This preference means that the Administrator will receive a cash distribution in respect of its management fees in priority to investors. Upon completion of the Offering, the Company expects there to be zero Class A preferred shares issued to the Administrator, as the issuance of Class A preferred shares commences on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the final closing has occurred or an earlier closing has occurred if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company.

*Example of compensation and expense calculation*

The following table illustrates the number of Class A preferred shares that would be issued to the Administrator per annum over a hold period of the Artwork of up to 10 years and the corresponding aggregate value of the liquidation preference and ownership percentage of the total Class A shares outstanding. The following table assumes that the issuance of the Class A preferred shares to the Administrator commences on the first day of the fiscal year.

Our operating agreement limits the liability of the Board of Managers, any members of our Company, any person who is an officer of our Company and any person who serves at the request of the Board of Managers on behalf of us as an officer, member of the Board of Managers, partner, member, stockholder or employee of such person and the management services agreement limits the liability of the Administrator and its affiliates. None of the foregoing persons shall be liable to us or the Administrator or any other of our members for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by other person with respect to us, including any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a liability resulting from any of the foregoing person's own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any intentional and material breach of our operating agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). With the prior consent of the Board of Managers, any of the foregoing persons may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to our affairs (including interpretations of the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement) and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants. In determining whether any of the foregoing persons acted with the requisite degree of care, such person shall be entitled to rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of members of the Board of Managers, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and professional advisors of our Company selected with reasonable care; provided, that no such person may rely upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false. The foregoing limitations on liability reduce the remedies available to the holders of the Class A shares for actions taken which may negatively affect us.

Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of members of the Board of Managers, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

**Term, Withdrawal and Removal of Members of the Board of Managers**

Our operating agreement provides that each member of our Board of Managers will serve as our Manager, for an indefinite term, but a Manager may be removed or replaced for any reason by a majority of the Board of Managers or by the holder of the Class C share, if any.

Our members may only remove a member of the Board of Managers for "Cause," following the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding voting shares. The term "Cause" is defined as:

● The commission by a member of the Board of Managers of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct;

● The conviction of a member of the Board of Managers of a felony;

● A material violation by a member of the Board of Managers of any applicable law that has a material adverse effect on our business; or

● The bankruptcy or insolvency of a member of the Board of Managers.

**Masterworks Shares**

As of the date of this filing, 100% of the membership interests of the Company are held by Masterworks in the Form of Class B shares. Our amended restated operating agreement created four classes of membership interests of the Company in the form of Class A ordinary shares, Class A preferred shares, Class B shares, as well as the Class C share. Class A preferred shares are issued to the Administrator pursuant to the management services agreement. Class B shares, which are owned by Masterworks, represent a 20% "profits interest" in our fully diluted equity. The Class B shares will entitle Masterworks to 20% of the profit on sale of the Artwork or the ability to convert such shares into Class A shares with a value at the time of conversion equal to 20% of the increase in value of our issued and outstanding shares. Masterworks cannot transfer any Class A preferred shares issuable to Masterworks pursuant to the management services agreement prior to the applicable vesting date. Class A preferred shares issued to Masterworks prior to the three-year anniversary of the final closing of this Offering shall vest on the three-year anniversary of the final closing of this Offering, as may be extended or shortened in accordance with the management services agreement. In the event vesting occurs prior to a sale of the Artwork, a new vesting period shall apply to all shares issued to Masterworks from and after such vesting date until the three-year anniversary of such vesting date and all of such Class A preferred shares will vest on such three-year anniversary of the prior vesting date, unless such vesting period is extended or shortened in accordance with the management services agreement. Class A preferred shares will automatically convert to Class A ordinary shares upon any transfer of such Shares to any person or entity other than an affiliate of the Administrator and may be converted into Class A ordinary shares at any time at the option of the holder. Masterworks has also agreed to lock-up provisions in our operating agreement that will prohibit it from selling any Class B shares prior to the one-year anniversary of the Offering. Masterworks will have no restrictions on the disposition of any of its Class B shares after the one-year anniversary of the Offering and no restrictions on the disposition of its Class A preferred shares once they vest, other than restrictions in our operating agreement, management services agreement and restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws. The Class C share represents a special class of membership interests, which has no economic rights or obligations and has no voting rights, but has the right to remove and or replace all or any members of the Board of Managers and reconstitute the Board without "cause" for any reason. The Class C share will only be issued to, or subsequently transferred to, a Masterworks Investor.

**Masterworks Platform**

***Overview***

We will conduct this Offering on the Masterworks Platform, which will host this Offering in connection with the distribution of the Class A shares offered pursuant to this offering circular. The Masterworks Platform is owned by Masterworks.io, LLC, and is operated by the principals of Masterworks (including Masterworks Administrative Services, LLC). Through the Masterworks Platform, investors can:

● Browse and screen potential investments,

● Provide us with information, including information required to determine whether they are qualified to invest in an offering, and sufficient to satisfy our compliance obligations under applicable laws,

● Obtain information about offerings, including current and future SEC filings; and

● Indicate interest in participating in offerings and, with respect to offerings that have been qualified by the SEC, sign legal documents electronically.

We intend to distribute the Class A shares exclusively through the Masterworks Platform. We will not pay Masterworks, the owner of the Masterworks Platform, any sales commissions or other remuneration for hosting this Offering on the Masterworks Platform. Neither Masterworks.io, LLC nor any other affiliated entity involved in the offer and sale of the Class A shares is currently a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, and no person associated with us will be deemed to be a broker solely by reason of his or her participation in the sale of the Class A shares.

***Templum ATS***

An electronic alternative trading system, operated by Templum Markets LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC in accordance with SEC Regulation ATS (the "Templum ATS"), is expected to facilitate trading of Class A ordinary shares of the Company commencing on or after the three-month anniversary of the date this Offering is fully subscribed. The Templum ATS will enable a holder of Class A shares to post live bids and offers 24 hours per day seven days per week, provided that trades will actually occur only during regular trading hours that substantially mirror the trading hours on national securities exchanges.

In order to execute a transaction on the Templum ATS, a buyer or seller of Class A shares must create a brokerage account with DriveWealth, LLC (the "Settling Broker"). To buy securities on the Templum ATS, investors must also fund the brokerage account in an amount sufficient to pay the full purchase price. Owners of Class A shares may submit bids and ask quotes to purchase or sell Class A shares, and any such transactions will be executed by the Settling Broker and matched through the Templum ATS.

Masterworks will directly notify owners of the Class A shares when they are available for posting on the Templum ATS and will file a notification of such availability on Form 1-U at such time. For so long as the Company exists and its shares are available for posting on the Templum ATS, the Company will continue to file reports under Rule 257 of Regulation A.

Masterworks currently expects to pay all costs and expenses associated with listing the Class A shares on the Templum ATS, establishment of brokerage accountants with the Settling Broker and trading and executing transfers of the Class A shares on the Templum ATS. Masterworks may at some point in the future seek to register to become a broker-dealer and a member of FINRA to enable it to earn transactional fees for trading the Class A shares or it may seek to earn administrative or other fees or recoup its costs associated with making a trading market available.

Due to regulatory compliance restrictions, the Templum ATS or certain features of the Templum ATS will not be available to residents of certain foreign countries. Non-U.S. residents are urged to visit www.masterworks.com or contact support@masterworks.com to determine whether, based on their country of residency, they can participate on the Templum ATS. In addition, Class A shares held by affiliates of the Company are "control" securities under U.S. federal securities laws and are subject to restrictions on transfer. If you hold more than 10% of the Company's Class A voting shares, you may be deemed an affiliate of the Company and may be unable to participate on the Templum ATS or otherwise freely transfer your shares. The Company or its transfer agent may require you to provide a legal opinion and or other information to determine your affiliate status.

There can be no assurance that the Templum ATS will provide an effective means of selling your Class A shares. In light of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the relatively small market capitalization of the Company, we cannot guarantee that the Templum ATS will provide a reliable or effective means of price discovery. Accordingly, any posted offer prices or historical transaction information reflected on the Templum ATS should not be construed as being representative of the fair value of the Company's Class A shares or of the artwork owned by the Company.

**License Agreement**

We will enter into a license agreement with Masterworks, effective upon the commencement of this Offering, pursuant to which Masterworks will grant us a non-exclusive, royalty free license to use the name "Masterworks". Other than with respect to this license, we will have no legal right to use the "Masterworks" name. In the event that the Administrator ceases to manage our operations, we would be required to change our name to eliminate the use of "Masterworks".

**Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings**

No executive officer, member of the Board of Managers, or significant employee or control person of our Company or the Administrator has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

**MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION**

The Administrator, and its affiliates will receive certain fees and expense reimbursements for services relating to this Offering and the acquisition, maintenance and sale of the Artwork. The items of compensation are summarized below. Neither the Administrator nor their affiliates will receive any selling commissions or dealer manager fees in connection with the offer and sale of the Class A shares. In addition, Masterworks owns 1,000 Class B shares, representing a 20% "profits interest" in our fully diluted equity following the final closing of this Offering.

The following table sets forth the form of compensation and the recipient of such compensation together with the determination of the amount and the estimated amount.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Form of Compensation and Expense Reimbursement** | **Determination of Amount** | **Estimated Amount** |
| *True-up Payment* | Masterworks intends to charge a true-up payment for all art-related issuers which is intended to be reasonable compensation for Masterworks' sourcing the Artwork, capital commitment and outlay and administrative expenses and services. | $66,000, which represents approximately 11% of the cost of the Artwork, or approximately 10% of the maximum aggregate offering amount. |
| *Management Fee* | In respect of ordinary management of our Company and the Artwork, including entity management and art management, we will issue Class A preferred shares to the Administrator. | 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum, commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. These Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in the management services agreement. |
| *Profits Interest* | Masterworks owns 1,000 Class B shares, representing a 20% "profits interest" in our fully diluted equity following the final closing of this Offering. | These amounts, if any, cannot presently be determined. |
| *Reimbursement for Extraordinary and Non-Routine Costs* | Extraordinary or non-routine costs, payments and expenses, if any, relating to our Company or the Artwork, will be paid for by the Administrator, but such extraordinary or non-routine costs and payments will be reimbursed upon the sale of the Artwork or a sale of our Company, as applicable. | These amounts, if any, cannot presently be determined. |
| *Disposition of the Artwork without a third-party intermediary* | Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, it would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time. | These amounts, if any, cannot presently be determined. |

**Compensation of Executive Officers**

We do not currently have any employees, nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us. Each of our executive officers receive compensation for his or her services, including services performed for us, from Masterworks. Although we will indirectly bear some of the costs of the compensation paid to these individuals, through fees we pay to the Administrator, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to these individuals.

**Compensation of the Board of Managers**

Members of the Board of Managers who are also officers of Masterworks and the Company receive no compensation in respect of their service on the Board of Managers. The Independent Manager receives compensation from Masterworks for serving in such capacity on multiple issuer entities. Although we will indirectly bear some of the costs of the compensation paid to the Independent Manager, through fees we pay to the Administrator, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to this individual.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF<br> MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN SECURITYHOLDERS**

The following table sets forth information about the current beneficial ownership of the Company at January 4, 2023, and the estimated beneficial ownership of the Class A shares at after the Offering for:

● Each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Class A shares entitled to vote;

● Each named executive officer;

● Each member of the Board of Managers; and

● All of the executive officers and members of the Board of Managers as a group.

As of the date of this filing, 100% of the membership interests of the Company are held by Masterworks in the form of 1,000 Class B shares.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address for each beneficial owner listed on the table is in care of our Company, 225 Liberty Street, 29<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, New York 10281. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. We believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Class B shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

We have presented the beneficial ownership of the Class A shares based on the assumption that all 33,300 Class A shares offered in this Offering will be sold. A member that beneficially owns 5% or more of the Class A shares (excluding shares beneficially owned by Masterworks) may irrevocably limit or eliminate its voting rights by providing an irrevocable certification to the Company in substantially the form of Exhibit B to the operating agreement. In subsequent reports we file pursuant to Regulation A that require beneficial ownership information, we will disclose the number and percentage of Class A shares that are eligible to vote as well as the number and percentage of Class A shares that are not eligible to vote as of such filing date. In addition, any member that irrevocably eliminates its voting rights or limits its voting rights to not more than 10% of the total voting power of the Class A shares, shall not be named or have its address or ownership reported in the beneficial ownership table included in the Company's future SEC reports, unless such person is otherwise deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.

In computing the number of Class A shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person after this Offering, we deemed outstanding Class A shares subject to any securities held by that person that are currently exercisable or convertible or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of January 4, 2023, into Class A shares. In computing the number of Class A shares owned after this Offering, we have assumed that the Class A share value at such time would be $30.00. Please see the Hypothetical Class A share value chart below which sets for the number of Class A shares issuable upon conversion of the Class B shares based on various hypothetical values of the Class A shares for additional information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The
 Lynn Family Trust 001 (the "Trust") owns approximately 82% of the membership
 interests of Masterworks.io, LLC. Mr. Lynn is the Chief Executive Officer of Masterworks.io,
 LLC and Masterworks Administrative Services, LLC. By contract, Mr. Lynn has the power to
 vote 100% of the membership interests beneficially owned by the Trust and controls Masterworks.
 No other person beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting membership interests of Masterworks.io,

(3) Masterworks.io, LLC owns 100% of the membership interests of Masterworks

commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully
subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. These Class A preferred shares will be subject
to vesting provisions set forth in our management services agreement. Each Class A preferred share held by the Administrator may be converted
to one Class A ordinary share at any time in the sole discretion of the holder and shall automatically convert into one Class A ordinary
share upon transfer to any entity or person that is not an affiliate of the Administrator. The Class A preferred shares have a $20.00
per share liquidation preference over Class A ordinary shares.

(4) The
 Class B shares retained by Masterworks will entitle Masterworks to 20% of the profit on sale of the Artwork or the ability to convert

**INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND<br> OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS**

*We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with Masterworks. These conflicts are discussed below, and this section is concluded with a discussion of the corporate governance measures we have adopted to mitigate some of the risks posed by these conflicts. References throughout this offering circular to the Masterworks 204, LLC "operating agreement" refer to the Masterworks 204, LLC amended and restated operating agreement.*

In addition to the compensation arrangements discussed in the section titled "Management Compensation," the following is a description of each transaction since October 17, 2022 (our inception) and each currently proposed transaction in which:

● We have been or will be a participant;

● The amount involved exceeds one percent of our total assets; and

● In which any member of the Board of Managers or executive officer, of the Company or the related Masterworks entities or their applicable beneficial owners, or beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Class A shares or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Scott W. Lynn is the Chief Executive Officer of Masterworks.io and is also able to control the activities of all of the Masterworks entities as well as our Company. Mr. Lynn is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Administrator.

**Management Services Agreement and Fees Paid to Affiliates**

Pursuant to a management services agreement between us, Masterworks Cayman and the Administrator to be entered into prior to the initial closing of the Offering, the Administrator will manage all of our administrative services and will maintain the Artwork. For the foregoing services, the Administrator will be entitled to receive a management fee from the Company in the form of Class A preferred shares at a rate of 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, after giving effect to such issuance, per annum, commencing on the date of the final closing or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company. These Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in our management services agreement. The Class A preferred shares have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over Class A ordinary shares and each Class A preferred share can be converted into one Class A ordinary share at any time at the discretion of the holder of the Class A preferred share, and converts automatically upon transfer to an entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator. Following the initial closing of the Offering, Masterworks will also manage any extraordinary or non-routine services which may be required, from time-to-time, including, without limitation, litigation or services in connection with a sale of the Artwork or any sale, merger, third-party tender offer or other similar transaction involving us. Masterworks may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, it would charge the buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's or Phillips in effect at such time. Any third-party costs incurred by the Administrator in connection with litigation or major transactions, together with any fees, will be reimbursed or paid upon the sale of the Artwork or our Company, as applicable.

**Beneficial Owner of Affiliated Entities**

The Trust is the majority beneficial owner of all of the Masterworks affiliated entities. Scott W. Lynn, the Chief Executive Officer of Masterworks.io, LLC and Masterworks Administrative Services, LLC, may also be deemed the beneficial owner of the Masterworks entities given his power to exercise voting control through an agreement with the Trust. Mr. Lynn is the Chief Executive Officer of Masterworks.io and, is an art collector and is also able to control the activities of all of the Masterworks entities as well as our Company. Mr. Lynn could have conflicts with his personal art collection and the collection of Masterworks.

**Qualification Rights**

Masterworks will have the right to request that we qualify on Form 1-A, or a comparable form, the resale of any Class A shares beneficially owned by Masterworks or any entity administered by Masterworks. There are no limitations or restrictions on the size or frequency of such qualification requests, other than pursuant to applicable law, provided, that all costs associated with any such qualification shall be the responsibility of Masterworks. If Masterworks exercises its qualification rights and offers Class A shares in a secondary offering pursuant to Regulation A, it may be more difficult to sell your Class A shares and could adversely affect the price at which you can sell your Class A shares on the Templum ATS. The qualification rights are set forth in the Company's amended and restated operating agreement.

**Our Affiliates' Interests in Other Masterworks Entities**

***General***

The officers and members of the Board of Managers who perform services for us are also officers, members of the Board of Managers, managers, and/or key professionals of Masterworks and other Masterworks entities. These persons have legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to us. In the future, these persons and other affiliates of Masterworks may organize other art-related programs and acquire for their own account art-related assets. In addition, Masterworks has granted non-voting equity interests in Masterworks.io, LLC to certain management personnel performing services, including our executive officers.

***Allocation of Our Affiliates' Time***

We rely on Masterworks and its key professionals who act on our behalf and on behalf of the Administrator, including Scott W. Lynn, Nigel S. Glenday and Joshua B. Goldstein for the day-to-day operations of our business. Messrs. Lynn, Glenday and Goldstein are also, respectively, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel/Secretary of the Administrator and are officers of the other Masterworks entities. As a result of their interests in other Masterworks entities, their obligations to other investors and the fact that they engage in and will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and others, they will face conflicts of interest in allocating their time among us, the Administrator and other Masterworks entities and other business activities in which they are involved. However, we believe that the Administrator and its affiliates have sufficient professionals to fully discharge their responsibilities to the Masterworks entities for which they work. The Administrator also serves as the Administrator for other entities and the services to be provided to these entities are substantially similar to those to be provided to the Company.

**Duties Owed by Some of Our Affiliates to the Administrator and the Administrator's Affiliates**

Our officers and members of our Board of Managers and the key professionals performing services for us are also officers, members of the Board of Managers, managers and/or key professionals of:

● Masterworks.io, LLC, the owner of the Masterworks Platform;

● Masterworks Administrative Services, LLC, our Administrator;

● Masterworks Gallery LLC, an affiliate of Masterworks, which has agreed to acquire the Artwork as agent for the Company; and

● Other Masterworks entities.

As a result, they owe duties to each of these entities, their equity holders, members and limited partners. These duties may from time to time conflict with the duties that they owe to us.

***No Independent Underwriter***

As we are conducting this offering without the aid of an independent underwriter, you will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in connection with the offering of securities. See "Plan of Distribution."

**Certain Conflict Resolution Measures**

***Independent Manager***

The Board of Managers is made up of Nigel S. Glenday, Joshua B. Goldstein and Eli D. Broverman. One of the members of the Board of Managers, Eli D. Broverman, serves as the Independent Manager on the Board of Managers (the "Independent Manager"). The Independent Manager serves to protect the interests of the holders of the Class A shares and is tasked with reviewing and approving all related party transactions of our Company with our affiliates and address all conflicts of interest that may arise between us and the holders of the Class A shares and our affiliates. The Independent Manager's role is solely related to governance and he has no involvement in the operations of the Company or Masterworks and does not participate in any offering activities. The Independent Manager and any replacement Independent Manager if the Independent Manager resigns or is removed from such position on the Board of Managers at any time, shall meet the standards of an "independent director" pursuant to the standards set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

***Other Operating Agreement Provisions Relating to Conflicts of Interest***

Our operating agreement contains other restrictions relating to conflicts of interest including the following:

***Lock-Up Agreement.*** Masterworks owns 1,000 Class B shares, representing a 20% "profits interest" in our fully diluted equity following the final closing of this Offering. The Class B shares retained by Masterworks will entitle Masterworks to 20% of the profit on sale of the Artwork or the ability to convert such shares into Class A shares with a value at the time of conversion equal to 20% of the increase in value of our issued and outstanding Class A and Class B shares. Masterworks will also own Class A shares if and to the extent the Offering is undersubscribed. Masterworks cannot transfer any Class A preferred shares issuable to Masterworks pursuant to the management services agreement prior to the applicable vesting date, as may be extended or shortened in accordance with the management services agreement. Masterworks has also agreed to lock-up provisions in our operating agreement that will prohibit it from selling or transferring any Class B shares prior to the one-year anniversary of the Offering, though it is permitted to pledge all of its shares to unaffiliated third-party lenders and such lenders shall not be subject to the lock-up if they obtain ownership of the shares in connection with a default by Masterworks on its indebtedness. Masterworks will have no restrictions on the disposition of any of its Class B shares after the one-year anniversary of the Offering and no restrictions on the disposition of its Class A preferred shares once they vest, other than restrictions imposed by the management services agreement and applicable securities laws, provided that each Class A preferred share may be converted into one Class A ordinary share at any time in the sole discretion of the holder and shall automatically convert into one Class A ordinary share upon transfer to any entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator.

***Term of each Manager.*** Our operating agreement provides that each member of the Board of Managers will serve for an indefinite term, but that each member of the Board of Managers may be removed by a majority of the Board of Managers for any reason, or may choose to withdraw as a member of the Board of Managers under certain circumstances. Our operating agreement also provides that each member of the Board of Managers may be removed and or replaced and our Board of Managers can be reconstituted for any reason by the holder of the Class C share, if any. The Class C share will be issued or transferred only to a Masterworks Investor, if any. The Class C share, once issued, may be redeemed or cancelled by mutual agreement between the holder of the Class C share and the Company.

Holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the voting shares may affirmatively vote to remove any members of the Board of Managers for "cause" only.

**DESCRIPTION OF SHARES**

As of the date of this filing, 100% of our issued and outstanding membership interests are held by Masterworks in the form of 1,000 Class B shares. The Company has four classes of membership interests: Class A ordinary membership interests (referred to herein as the "Class A ordinary shares"), Class A preferred membership interests (referred to herein as the "Class A preferred shares"), Class B membership interests (referred to herein as the "Class B shares"), as well as the Class C share. References throughout this offering circular to "shares" refer generically to the Class A shares and Class B shares. We are offering 33,300 of our Class A shares, for an aggregate amount of $666,000 pursuant to this offering circular. The final closing of the Offering will occur on the earlier of (i) the earliest practical date following the date that subscriptions for the Class A shares offered hereby total $666,000 or (ii) a date determined by the Company in its discretion.

We will issue Class A preferred shares on a quarterly basis to the Administrator in accordance with the management services agreement. Each Class A preferred share shall be identical in all respect to a Class A ordinary share except that it will have no voting rights, will have a liquidation preference of $20.00 per share and will be convertible into a Class A ordinary share. This means that the holder of the Class A preferred shares will receive $20 per share before distributions are made to holders of Class A ordinary shares. Each Class A preferred share held by the Administrator may be converted to one Class A ordinary share at any time in the sole discretion of the holder and shall automatically convert into one Class A ordinary share upon transfer to any entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator.

***Organization and Duration***

We were formed on October 17, 2022, as a Delaware limited liability company pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. We will remain in existence until liquidated in accordance with the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement.

***Purpose and Powers***

Under the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement, we are permitted to engage in such activities as determined by the Board of Managers that lawfully may be conducted by a limited liability company organized under Delaware law and, in connection therewith, to exercise all of the rights and powers conferred upon us and the Board of Managers pursuant to the agreement relating to such business activity, provided that we are prohibited from engaging in certain activities referred to as "Prohibited Acts" without obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the voting shares. "Prohibited Acts" consist of amending, waiving or failing to comply with any material provision of our operating agreement that disproportionately and adversely affects the Class A shareholders, except as otherwise provided therein.

***Board of Managers and its Powers***

We are a manager-managed limited liability company as set forth in Section 401 and Section 101 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. Our amended and restated operating agreement appoints the Board of Managers of the Company.

We plan to enter into a management services agreement with our Administrator and Masterworks Cayman, prior to the initial closing of this Offering which is further described in the "Summary of Management Services Agreement" section of this document. Pursuant to our operating agreement and the management services agreement, the Administrator will have complete and exclusive discretion in the management and control of our affairs and business, subject to the requirement to obtain consent for Prohibited Acts, and shall possess all powers necessary, convenient or appropriate to carrying out the purposes and business of our Company, including doing all things and taking all actions necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of each of the foregoing agreements.

Pursuant to the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement, the Board of Managers shall have full authority in their discretion to exercise, on our behalf and in our name of the Company, all rights and powers of a "manager" of a limited liability company under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act necessary or convenient to carry out our purposes. Any person not a party to our operating agreement dealing with us will be entitled to rely conclusively upon the power and authority of the Board of Managers to us in all respects, and to authorize the execution of any and all agreements, instruments and other writings on behalf of us and in our name.

The Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters, including: mergers, consolidations, dispositions, winding up and dissolution, including any action with respect to the sale of the Artwork; except, the Board of Managers shall not have the authority to amend, waive or fail to comply with any material provision of our operating agreement that disproportionately and adversely affects the Class A shareholders, except as provided therein, without first obtaining the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the voting shares.

Any member of the Board of Managers may be removed and replaced by a majority of the Board of Managers or the holder of the Class C share, if any, with or without "Cause." In addition, any member of the Board of Managers may be removed or replaced by the affirmative vote of members holding two-thirds (2/3) of the voting shares for "Cause" only. The term "Cause" is defined as follows:

(a) the commission by a member of the Board of Managers of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(b) the conviction of a member of the Board of Managers of a felony;

(c) a material violation by a member of the Board of Managers of any applicable law that has a material adverse effect on our business;

(d) the bankruptcy or insolvency of a member of the Board of Managers

***Classes of Ownership***

As of the date of this filing, 100% of the membership interests of the Company are owned by Masterworks in the form of 1,000 Class B shares. We have four classes of membership interests:

*Class A ordinary shares*. The Class A shares being offered in this offering will represent in the aggregate 100% of our members' capital accounts and an 80% interest in the profits we recognize upon any sale of the Artwork and liquidation. There will be up to 33,300 Class A shares outstanding upon the final closing of the Offering, and the number of additional Class A ordinary shares that may be issued by our Company following the Offering (subject to issuances pursuant to stock-splits, recapitalizations or similar transactions) is limited to shares issued to Masterworks if this Offering is not fully subscribed in repayment of its advance and the true-up, shares issuable upon conversion of the Class A preferred shares and shares issuable upon conversion of the Class B shares.

*Class A preferred shares*. The Class A preferred shares represent a class of membership interests held by the Administrator pursuant to the management services agreement. Class A preferred shares have no voting rights but have a $20.00 per share liquidation preference over Class A shares. Each Class A preferred share held by the Administrator may be converted to one Class A ordinary share at any time in the sole discretion of the holder and shall automatically convert into one Class A ordinary share upon transfer to any entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator. The number of Class A preferred shares that may be issued by our Company is limited to the shares issued to our Administrator (or any successor) pursuant to the management services agreement.

*Class B shares.* The Class B shares held by Masterworks Gallery which will represent in the aggregate less than 1% of our members' capital accounts and a 20% interest in the profits we recognize upon any sale of the Artwork and liquidation. There are currently 1,000 Class B shares outstanding and there will be 1,000 Class B shares outstanding upon the final closing of the Offering. Upon mutual agreement of the holder of the Class B shares and the Company, the Class B shares may be redeemed by the Company for a nominal amount.

Class C Share. The Class C share represents a special class of membership interests, which has no economic rights or obligations and has no voting rights, but has the right to remove and or replace all or any members of the Board of Managers and reconstitute the Board without "cause" for any reason. The Class C share will only be issued to, or subsequently transferred to, a Masterworks Investor.

***Voting Rights***

We refer to Class A shares, excluding Class A shares beneficially owned by Masterworks as our "voting shares." On each matter where the members have a right to vote, each voting share shall be entitled to and shall constitute one (1) vote, and all voting shares shall vote together as a single class, except as otherwise set forth in our operating agreement, or otherwise required by the Delaware Act. In determining any action or other matter to be undertaken by or on behalf of us, each member shall be entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of voting shares that such member holds, with the power to vote, at the time of such vote. Unless otherwise set forth in our operating agreement, or otherwise required by the Delaware Act, the taking of any action by us which requires a vote of the members as set forth above shall require the receipt of votes from members holding a majority of the voting shares to constitute a quorum, provided, that in the case of a proposed removal of the Administrator for any reason or a member of the Board of Managers for "Cause", an affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the voting shares shall be required to authorize and approve such action. In determining the outcome of any vote at a meeting, shareholders that abstain or do not vote will effectively be counted as votes against such action. The holder of Class A preferred shares shall have no voting rights with respect to Class A preferred shares it beneficially owns. Each member of the Board of Managers may be removed and or replaced and our Board can be reconstituted for any reason by the holder of the Class C share, if any. The Masterworks Investor that holds a Class C share, if any, shall have no voting rights with respect to Class A shares it beneficially owns.

A member that beneficially owns 5% or more of the Class A shares (excluding shares beneficially owned by Masterworks) may irrevocably limit or eliminate its voting rights by providing an irrevocable certification to the Company in substantially the form of Exhibit B to the operating agreement. In the event a member irrevocably limits or eliminates its voting rights, all of the Class A shares beneficially owned by such member in excess of the voting limit applicable to such member shall no longer have any voting rights for so long as such shares are beneficially owned by such member or such member's affiliates. Any member that irrevocably eliminates its voting rights or limits its voting rights such that under no circumstances would such shareholder, together with its affiliates, have the right to cast more than 10% of the total votes in an election of Managers or on any other matter put to a vote of the Class A shareholders, shall not be named or have its address or ownership reported in the Company's ongoing SEC filings, including the beneficial ownership table in the Company's Annual Report on Form 1-K, unless such person is otherwise deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The determination of affiliate status for such purposes shall be made by the Board of Managers in its sole and absolute discretion and the Company or its transfer agent may require any shareholder that owns more than 10% of the Class A shares to provide a legal opinion and or other information it deems necessary or appropriate to determine such person's affiliate status. If any such 10% or more shareholder is deemed to be an "affiliate", notwithstanding the limit on voting, such person's name, address and ownership will be reported in the Company's SEC filings, including the beneficial ownership table in the Company's Annual Report on Form 1-K.

Subject to the Delaware Act, the Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters, including: mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, winding up and dissolution and sale of the Artwork; except, the Board of Managers shall not have the authority to amend, waive or fail to comply with any material provision of our operating agreement that disproportionately and adversely affects the Class A shareholders, except as provided therein, without obtaining the prior approval or consent of the of the holders of a majority of the voting shares.

***Conversion of Class B shares***

Class B shares will be convertible into Class A shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the consummation of a sale of the Artwork for no additional consideration pursuant to the following conversion formula:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Class A shares issuable upon conversion** | **(A) Value Increase, *multiplied by*** |
|  | **(B) Conversion Percentage, *multiplied by*** |
|  | **(C) 20%, *divided by*** |
|  | **(D) Class A share Value.** |

---

Definitions for conversion calculation:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| "***Value Increase***" | means, (A) the aggregate value of Shares outstanding at such time, minus the product of (i) the number of Class A shares outstanding at such time *and* (ii) $20.00, if such difference is positive. |
| "***Conversion Percentage***" | means, (A) the number of Class B shares being converted, *divided by* (B) the number of Class B shares outstanding. |
| "***Class A share Value***" | means, as of the close of business on the day preceding the conversion date, the volume weighted average trading price ("VWAP") of the Class A shares on all trading platforms or trading systems on which the Class A shares are being traded over the forty-five (45) trading days then ended, provided, that if the total aggregate trading volume over such 45-trading-day period is less than 5% of the public float, such period shall be extended to the ninety (90) trading days then ended, provided, further, if the total aggregate trading volume over such 90-trading-day period is less than 5% of the public float, the holder of the Class B shares shall request that the Administrator obtain an appraisal of the Class A share Value from one or more independent nationally-recognized third party appraisal companies and such appraisal shall constitute the Class A share Value.\* |

---

\* The hypothetical Class A share values represent the assumed VWAP, or in the absence of a trading market, the appraised fair value of the Class A shares, which, in either case, is assumed to be the amount that a Class A share would receive upon liquidation of the Company (i.e. the appraised value of the Artwork divided by the fully diluted number of Class A shares outstanding).

 

*Examples of conversion calculation*

The following table illustrates the number and percentage of Class A shares that would be issued to Masterworks upon conversion of all of its Class B shares based on hypothetical changes in the trading price or value of the Class A shares:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Hypothetical Class A share Value | $20.0 | $30.00 | $40.0 | $50.0 | $60.0 |
| No. of Class A shares Masterworks would receive upon conversion of 100% of its Class B shares | 0.0 | 2775 | 4163.0 | 4995.0 | 5550.0 |
| Percentage of total outstanding Class A shares Masterworks would receive upon conversion of 100% of its Class B shares | 0.0% | 7.69% | 11.11% | 13.04% | 14.29% |

---

*<u>Powers of the Board of Managers</u>*

The Board of Managers will have sole voting power over all matters relating to our Company, including: mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, winding up and dissolution and the Board of Managers will have control over the disposition of Artwork; except, the Board of Managers shall not have the authority to amend, waive or fail to comply with any material provision of our operating agreement that disproportionately and adversely affects the Class A shareholders, except as provided therein, without the consent of holders of a majority of the Class A shares.

Shares beneficially owned by Masterworks shall have no voting rights.

***Agreement to be Bound by the Operating Agreement***

By purchasing a Class A share, you will be admitted as a member of our Company and will be bound by the provisions of, and deemed to be a party to the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement. Pursuant to the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement, each holder of Class A shares and each person who acquires a Class A share from a holder must agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement.

***Shareholder Voting***

Class A shares have one vote per share and we refer to the Class A shares, excluding shares beneficially owned by Masterworks, or shares owned by a member that has irrevocably limited or eliminated such member's voting rights in excess of such member's voting limit, as "voting shares." The Class B shares shall have no voting rights other than as may be required pursuant to applicable law. The term "other than as may be required pursuant to applicable law," takes into account the following considerations (i) pursuant to Section 18-806 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the "Act"), in the event that a limited liability company is dissolved by the occurrence of an event that causes the last remaining member to cease to be a member, the personal representative of the last remaining member of the limited liability company or the assignee of all of the limited liability company interests in the limited liability company may vote to revoke the dissolution, subject to the approval of any other persons whose approval is required under the limited liability company agreement to revoke a dissolution, such a vote could result in holders of the Class B shares (or more accurately the personal representative of such persons) potentially be deemed to have a "right to vote" and (ii) the Act may be amended in the future to mandate voting rights for all interests in a Delaware limited liability company in certain situations, and if this occurs, without the provision "other than as may be required by law," the Company could be in a position where its operating agreement would be in violation of the Act.

A member that beneficially owns 5% or more of the Class A shares (excluding shares beneficially owned by Masterworks) may irrevocably limit or eliminate its voting rights by providing an irrevocable vote limit certificate to the Company in substantially the form of Exhibit B to the operating agreement. In the event a member irrevocably limits or eliminates its voting rights, all of the Class A shares beneficially owned by such member in excess of the voting limit applicable to such member shall no longer have any voting rights for so long as such shares are beneficially owned by such member or such member's affiliates. Any member that irrevocably eliminates its voting rights or limits its voting rights such that under no circumstances would such shareholder, together with its affiliates, have the right to cast more than 10% of the total votes in an election of Managers or on any other matter put to a vote of the Class A shareholders, shall not be named or have its address or ownership reported in the Company's ongoing SEC filings, including the beneficial ownership table in the Company's Annual Report on Form 1-K, unless such person is otherwise deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The determination of affiliate status for such purposes shall be made by the Board of Managers in its sole and absolute discretion and the Company or its transfer agent may require any shareholder that owns more than 10% of the Class A shares to provide a legal opinion and or other information it deems necessary or appropriate to determine such person's affiliate status. If any such 10% or more shareholder is deemed to be an "affiliate", notwithstanding the limit on voting, such person's name, address and ownership will be reported in the Company's SEC filings, including the beneficial ownership table in the Company's Annual Report on Form 1-K.

Whenever holders of Class A shares are required or entitled to vote on any matter, except as otherwise provided, that vote may be taken at a meeting or may be taken via a written consent in lieu of a meeting.

The Company shall provide holders of voting shares with not less than five (5) nor more than sixty (60) days prior notice of any meeting or any action subject to a vote of holders of voting shares at a meeting shall require a quorum, in the form of votes actually cast (whether in person or by proxy), from at least a majority of the voting shares eligible to vote on such matter or such higher percentage of voting shares as may be required for such action. At any meeting or on any matter that is to be voted on or consented to by holders of voting shares, the then holders of our voting shares, may vote in person or by proxy, and such vote may be made, and a proxy may be granted in writing, by means of electronic transmission or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Shares beneficially owned by Masterworks shall have no voting rights.

We have elected to be governed by paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and other applicable provisions of the DGCL, as though we were a Delaware corporation and as though holders of our voting shares were shareholders of a Delaware corporation. Such sections generally regulate proxies for any voting purposes. In the event that we become subject to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, pursuant to and subject to the provisions of Rule 14a-16 under the Exchange Act, we may, but are not required to, utilize a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as described in that rule, in conjunction with proxy material posted to an Internet site, in order to furnish any proxy or related material to holders of voting shares pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. We currently intend to utilize the Masterworks platform to the extent possible for meetings of, and votes of our shareholders.

***Shareholder Distributions.***

The Company does not expect to pay any distributions, other than a liquidating distribution following a sale of the Artwork. There can be no assurance as to the timing of a liquidating distribution or that we will pay a liquidating distribution at all. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends and if any are to be paid in the future, such decision will be at the discretion of our Board of Managers and will depend on our then current financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Managers. If the Artwork is sold, the net proceeds of the sale, after deduction of any expenses for which the Company is responsible, will be distributed as follows:

● First, the holder of Class A preferred shares will receive up to $20.00 per share;

● Second, to the extent there are remaining proceeds, the holders of Class A ordinary shares will receive up to $20.00 per share;

● Third, to the extent there are remaining proceeds, such remaining proceeds will be split between the holders of Class A shares, who shall receive 80% of such remaining proceeds and the holder of the Class B shares, who shall receive 20% of such remaining proceeds.

However, following a sale of the Artwork, but prior to a liquidating distribution, the Company may elect to redeem Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding from Class A Members other than Masterworks for an amount per Class A Ordinary Share equal to the liquidation amount per Class A share as determined in accordance with our operating agreement, subject to certain conditions set forth in the operating agreement.

***Limited Liability***

The liability of each member of our Company shall be limited as provided in the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and as set forth in the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement. No member of our Company shall be obligated to restore by way of capital contribution or otherwise any deficits in its capital account (if such deficits occur).

The Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that a member of a Delaware limited liability company who receives a distribution from such company and knew at the time of the distribution that the distribution was in violation of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act shall be liable to the Company for the distribution for three years. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, a limited liability company may not make a distribution to a member if, after the distribution, all liabilities of the Company, other than liabilities to members on account of their Class A shares and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of the company, would exceed the fair value of the assets of the Company. The fair value of property subject to liability for which recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the assets of the Company only to the extent that the fair value of that property exceeds the nonrecourse liability. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, an assignee who becomes a substituted member of a company is liable for the obligations of his assignor to make contributions to the Company, except the assignee is not obligated for liabilities unknown to him at the time the assignee became a member and that could not be ascertained from the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement.

***Exculpation and Indemnification of the Board of Managers and Others***

Subject to certain limitations, our operating agreement limits the liability of each member of the Board of Managers and its affiliates, any of our members, any person who is our officer and any person who serves at the request of the Board of Managers on behalf of us as an officer, member of the Board of Managers, managers of the Administrator, independent representative, partner, member, stockholder or employee of such person (referred to together as the "Protected Persons" or in the singular as the "Protected Person").

***Exculpation***

No Protected Person shall be liable to us or the Administrator or any other member of our Company for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by other person with respect to us, including any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a liability resulting from such Protected Person's own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any intentional and material breach of our operating agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). With the prior consent of the Board of Managers, any Protected Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to our affairs (including interpretations of our operating agreement) and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants. In determining whether a Protected Person acted with the requisite degree of care, such Protected Person shall be entitled to rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of the members of the Board of Managers, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and professional advisors of our Company selected with reasonable care; provided, that no such Protected Person may rely upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false.

***Indemnification***

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend each Protected Person against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in enforcing a Protected Person's right to indemnification under the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement, and any amounts expended in respect of settlements of any claims approved by the Board of Managers (collectively referred to herein as the "Liabilities"), to which any Protected Person may become subject:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| (i) | by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission (even if negligent) arising out of or in connection with the activities of our Company; |
| (ii) | by reason of the fact that it is or was acting in connection with the activities of our Company in any capacity or that it is or was serving at the request of our Company as a partner, shareholder, member, members of the Board of Managers, managers of the Company or the Administrator, the independent representative, officer, employee, or agent of any Person; |
| unless, such Liability results from such Protected Person's own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or intentional and material breach of our operating agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). | unless, such Liability results from such Protected Person's own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or intentional and material breach of our operating agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). |

---

Any indemnification provided under our operating agreement is limited thereunder to the extent of our assets only. Further, insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of members of the Board of Managers, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

***Reimbursement of Expenses***

We will reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Protected Person for reasonable legal or other costs and expenses (as incurred) of such Protected Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Liabilities for which the Protected Person may be indemnified pursuant to our operating agreement and for all costs and expenses, including fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys, reasonably incurred by such Protected Person in enforcing the indemnification provisions of our operating agreement; provided, that such Protected Person executes a written undertaking to repay us for such reimbursed or advanced costs and expenses if it is finally judicially determined that such Protected Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by our operating agreement.

***Liquidity Sale***

The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering. There is no guarantee that any such sale of the Artwork will be successful, or if successful, that the net proceeds realized by shareholders from such transaction will be reflective of the estimated fair market value of the shares at such time. Masterworks will be entitled to reimbursement for costs and expenses associated with any such transaction and may earn fees from such transactions to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, and there can be no assurance that there will be any remaining net proceeds to be distributed after payment of such costs and expenses. Following a sale of the Artwork the Company will seek to unwind and liquidate in accordance with its operating agreement.

***Amendment of Our Operating Agreement***

Amendments to our operating agreement may be proposed only by or with the consent of the Board of Managers and must be approved by a majority vote of holders of the voting shares. Further, the Board of Managers does not need consent of holders of voting shares to amend the Masterworks 204, LLC, operating agreement in the following instances: (i) to evidence the joinder of a new member of the Company; (ii) in connection with the transfer of shares by members; (iii) as otherwise required to reflect capital contributions, distributions and similar actions (iv) to reflect the naming of new managers, officers or replacement of officers of the Company; (v) in connection with the issuance of Class A preferred shares to the Administrator pursuant to the management services agreement or (vi) as required to cause the Company to be treated as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, (vii) in connection with the conversion of Class A preferred shares or Class B shares into Class A shares or (viii) any change the Board of Managers deems necessary or appropriate to enable trading of membership interests.

***Termination and Dissolution***

We will continue as a limited liability company until terminated under the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement. We will commence winding up upon the first to occur of the following (the "Dissolution Event"):

(1) Upon the determination of the members with the approval of the Board of Managers;

(2) Our insolvency or bankruptcy;

(3) The sale of all or substantially all of our assets; or

(4) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18 802 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act

The Dissolution Event shall be effective on the day on which such event occurs and immediately thereafter we will commence its winding up during which our affairs shall be wound up in accordance with the terms of the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement.

***Books and Reports***

We are required to keep appropriate books of our business at our principal offices. The books will be maintained for both tax and financial reporting purposes on a basis that permits the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). For financial reporting purposes and federal income tax purposes, our fiscal year and its tax year are the calendar year.

**Term and Removal of Members of the Board of Managers**

Our operating agreement provides that each member of our Board of Managers will serve as our Manager, for an indefinite term, but that any Manager may be removed by a majority of the Board of Managers for any reason, or may choose to withdraw as a Manager, under certain circumstances.

Our operating agreement also provides that each member of the Board of Managers may be removed and or replaced and our Board can be reconstituted for any reason by the holder of the Class C share, if any. The Class C share will be issued to a Masterworks Investor, if any. The Class C share, once issued, can be transferred between Masterworks affiliated entities, including from one Masterworks Investor to another. The Class C share, once issued, may be redeemed or cancelled by mutual agreement between the holder of the Class C share and the Company.

In addition, our members may remove a member of the Board of Managers for "cause" only, following the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding voting shares excluding those beneficially owned by Masterworks. The term "Cause" is defined as:

● The commission by the applicable member of the Board of Managers of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct;

● The conviction of the applicable member of the Board of Managers of a felony;

● A material violation by the applicable member of the Board of Managers of any applicable law that has a material adverse effect on our business; and

● The bankruptcy or insolvency of the applicable member of the Board of Managers.

**Anti-Takeover Effects under Delaware Law**

We are a limited liability company organized under Delaware law. Some provisions of Delaware law may delay or prevent a transaction that would cause a change in our control. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which restricts certain business combinations with interested shareholders in certain situations, does not apply to limited liability companies unless they elect to utilize it. Our operating agreement does not currently elect to have Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law apply to us. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction by which that person became an interested shareholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a business combination includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested shareholder, and an interested shareholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior did own, 15% or more of voting Class A shares. The Board of Managers may elect to amend the Masterworks 204, LLC operating agreement, subject to majority approval by the members holding the Class A shares, at any time to have Section 203 apply to the Company.

**Binding Arbitration under Our Subscription Agreement**

By purchasing Class A shares in this Offering, investors agree to be bound by the arbitration provisions contained in our subscription agreement which provide that arbitration is the exclusive means for resolving disputes relating to or arising out of the subscription agreement, the shares, the Masterworks Platform, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing. Please note that this arbitration provision does not apply to claims made under the federal securities laws or any dispute you may have with Arete RIA, which can be settled through the arbitration rules of JAMS. Purchasers of shares in a secondary transaction would also be subject to the same arbitration provisions that are currently in our subscription agreement. Such arbitration provision limits the ability of investors to bring class action lawsuits or similarly seek remedies on a class basis for claims subject to the provision. If invoked, the arbitration is required to be conducted in New York, NY in accordance with New York law. The subscription agreement allows for either the Company or an investor to elect to enter into binding arbitration in the event of any covered claim in which the Company and the investor are adverse parties. While not mandatory, in the event that the Company were to invoke the arbitration clause, the rights of the adverse shareholder to seek redress in court would be severely limited. These restrictions on the ability to bring a class action lawsuit may result in increased costs and/or reduced remedies, to individual investors who wish to pursue claims against the Company.

**Waiver of Jury Trial under our Subscription Agreement**

By purchasing Class A shares in this Offering, by executing the subscription agreement investors agree to waive their rights to a jury trial in claims against the Company or Masterworks. However, this waiver of rights to a jury trial does not apply to claims made under the federal securities laws. Purchasers of shares in a secondary transaction would also be required to waive rights to a jury trial, except in connection with claims under the federal securities laws.

**Exclusive Jurisdiction**

Our amended and restated operating agreement provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, as amended, subject to and contingent upon a final adjudication in the State of Delaware of the enforceability of such exclusive forum provision. By purchasing Class A shares in this Offering and by executing the subscription agreement, investors acknowledge that any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act is to be litigated in the federal district courts of the United States of America.

**Qualification Rights**

Masterworks will have the right to request that we qualify on Form 1-A, or a comparable form, the resale of any Class A shares beneficially owned by Masterworks or any entity administered by Masterworks. There are no limitations or restrictions on the size or frequency of such qualification requests, other than pursuant to applicable law, provided, that all costs associated with any such qualification shall be the responsibility of Masterworks. If Masterworks exercises its qualification rights and offers Class A shares in a secondary offering pursuant to Regulation A, it may be more difficult to sell your Class A shares and could adversely affect the price at which you can sell your Class A shares on the Templum ATS. The qualification rights are set forth in the Company's amended and restated operating agreement.

**Transfer Agent**

The transfer agent and registrar for our Class A shares is Equity Stock Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent's address is 237 West 37th Street, Suite 602, New York, New York 10018. The transfer agent's telephone number is 212-575-5757.

**SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE**

**Shares Eligible for Future Sale**

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public or private market for the Class A shares, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of the Class A shares or the availability of Class A shares for sale will have on the market price of the Class A shares prevailing from time to time.

Upon the final closing of this Offering 33,300 Class A shares will be outstanding, and 1,000 Class B shares will be outstanding and will be owned by Masterworks. All of the Class A shares sold in this Offering will be freely tradable under federal securities laws unless issued to our "affiliates" as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Class A shares held by affiliates of the Company are "control" securities under U.S. federal securities laws and are subject to restrictions on transfer. If you hold more than 10% of the Company's Class A shares, you may be deemed an affiliate of the Company and may be unable to participate on the Templum ATS or otherwise freely transfer your shares. The Company or its transfer agent may require you to provide a legal opinion and or other information to determine your affiliate status.

Masterworks intends to sponsor offerings by entities formed to invest, directly or indirectly, in multiple works of art and any such entity, which would be deemed an "affiliate" of our Company, may invest in this Offering. In the event any such affiliate invests in this Offering, the Class A shares acquired by such entity would be "restricted" securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such Class A shares, together with any shares sold by Masterworks in private transactions that are exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act will bear a restrictive legend and will be subject to further transfer restrictions for one year from the time such shares are acquired from Masterworks or such affiliate by a non-affiliate. Masterworks has rights to require us to qualify the resale of any such Class A shares, provided that they shall be responsible for all of the costs and expenses of any such qualification and or secondary offering.

Masterworks has agreed to lock-up provisions in our operating agreement that will prohibit it from selling or transferring any unvested Class A preferred shares it acquires under the management services agreement until such Class A preferred shares vest. The Class A preferred shares can be converted into one Class A ordinary share at any time at the discretion of the holder of the Class A preferred share, and converts automatically upon transfer to an entity that is not an affiliate of the Administrator. Masterworks has also agreed not to transfer any Class B shares it owns prior to the one-year anniversary of the final closing of the Offering (other than transfers to affiliates), though Masterworks is permitted to pledge all of its Shares to unaffiliated third-party lenders and such lenders shall not be subject to the lock-up if they obtain ownership of the Shares in connection with a default by Masterworks on its indebtedness. After the one-year anniversary in the case of Class B shares and the vesting date in the case of Class A preferred shares earned pursuant to the management services agreement, Masterworks will have no restrictions on the disposition of any of its Shares, other than restrictions in our operating agreement, management services agreement and those imposed by applicable securities laws.

**Rule 144**

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, Masterworks will be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of Class A shares that does not exceed the greater of:

● 1% of the then-outstanding Class A shares; and

● The average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale, subject to the filing of a Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us. If Masterworks sells its shares in private transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to a non-affiliate other than pursuant to Rule 144, such non-affiliate will be able to sell such shares pursuant to Rule 144 after one year has elapsed from the time such shares were acquired from Masterworks and such sales shall not be subject to the volume restrictions set forth above.

We are unable to estimate the number of Class A shares that will be sold under Rule 144 or pursuant to one or more future qualified offerings or the timing of such sales, since this will depend on the market price for the Class A shares, the personal circumstances of the sellers and other factors. Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Class A shares, and there can be no assurance that a significant, or any, public market for the Class A shares will develop or be sustained after the Offering. Any future sale of substantial amounts of the Class A shares in the open market may adversely affect the market price of the Class A shares offered by this offering circular.

**MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS**

The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A shares by Holders (as defined below) as of the date hereof. For purposes of this section, under the heading "Material U.S. Federal Tax Considerations," references to the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer only to Masterworks 204, LLC and not its subsidiaries, and not to Masterworks Cayman which is a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company. In this discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations, the term Masterworks 204 Cayman refers to the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman that will hold title to the Artwork. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, and all administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to different interpretation.

The U.S. federal income taxation of partnerships and partners is extremely complex, involving, among other things, significant issues as to the character, timing of realization and sourcing of gains and losses. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to specific Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as banks, insurance companies, dealers in securities or other Holders that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States or Holders that hold our Class A shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or other integrated transaction) or U.S. Holders that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar. This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal estate (except as discussed below for Non-U.S. Holders), gift or alternative minimum tax considerations. **Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A shares with respect to their particular tax situations, including, in the case of prospective Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, with reference to any special issues that the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A shares may raise for such persons.** The activities of a Holder unrelated to such Holder's status as a member of the Company may affect the tax consequences to such Holder of an investment in the Company.

As used in this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a Class A share that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (y) that has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. As used in this discussion, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a Class A share that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the term "Holder" means a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes invests in our Class A shares, the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to such investment will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. Any such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to it and its partners relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A shares.

PERSONS CONSIDERING AN INVESTMENT IN OUR CLASS A SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR CLASS A SHARES IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

**Taxation of Our Company**

***Taxation of Masterworks 204, LLC.*** We expect that we will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not as an association or publicly traded partnership subject to tax as a corporation. As a partnership, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, each Holder that is subject to U.S. tax will be required to take into account its distributive share, whether or not distributed, of each item of our income, gain, loss, deduction or credit. See "—Taxation of U.S. Holders of Class A shares".

An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may nonetheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a "publicly traded partnership", unless an exception applies. An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership is a publicly traded partnership if (i) interests in the partnership are traded on an established securities market or (ii) interests in the partnership are readily tradable on the Templum ATS or the substantial equivalent thereof. We intend that we will be publicly traded for purposes of these rules.

A publicly traded partnership will, however, be treated as a partnership, and not as a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if (x) 90% or more of such partnership's gross income during each taxable year consists of "qualifying income" and (y) such partnership is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). We refer to this exception as the "qualifying income exception." Qualifying income generally includes certain interest income, dividends, real property rents, gains from the sale or other disposition of real property, gains from the sale or other disposition of capital assets or other property held for the production of income that otherwise constitutes qualifying income and certain other forms of investment income.

We intend to operate such that we will meet the qualifying income exception in each taxable year. We do not expect that the Company will earn any income in any taxable year other than qualifying income including (x) interest income with respect to certain short-term debt investments held by the Company and (y) an income inclusion followed by a liquidating distribution from Masterworks Cayman in the year in which the Artwork is sold. At present, we do not expect to seek a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") with respect to our treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not take a contrary position. In the event that such a ruling is sought, and such ruling treats a sale of the Artwork as qualifying income, we may structure Masterworks Cayman 204 as an entity disregarded from us for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case the tax consequences described herein could be materially different, as described below.

If we fail to meet the qualifying income exception (other than a failure that is determined by the IRS to be inadvertent and that is cured within a reasonable time after discovery) or if we are required to register under the 1940 Act, we will be treated as if, on the first day in which we fail to meet the qualifying income exception or are required to register under the 1940 Act, we had transferred all of our assets, subject to our liabilities, to a newly formed corporation in exchange for stock of such corporation, and then distributed the stock to the Holders in liquidation of their interests in us. This deemed contribution and liquidation should generally be tax-free to the Holders so long as we do not have liabilities in excess of the tax basis of our assets at such time. Thereafter, we would be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If we were treated as a corporation in any taxable year, our items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit would be reflected our tax return, rather than the returns of our Holders subject to U.S. tax, and we would be subject to U.S. corporate income tax on our taxable income. Distributions of cash or other property to a Holder with respect to our Class A shares generally would be treated as a dividend to the extent such distribution was paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), or in the absence of earnings and profits, as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of such Holder's adjusted tax basis in such Class A share, and then as capital gain. Accordingly, treatment as a corporation could materially reduce a Holder's after-tax return and thus could result in a substantial reduction of the value of our Class A shares.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that we will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

***Taxation of Masterworks Cayman.*** Masterworks Cayman, which is a Cayman Islands segregated portfolio company, is referred to in this taxation section as "Masterworks Cayman," and the specific portfolio that will hold title to the Artwork is referred to as "Masterworks 204 Cayman". Masterworks 204 Cayman intends to file an election with the IRS to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation and not as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We, as the holder of Masterworks 204 Cayman's shares, will not be taxed directly on the earnings of Masterworks 204 Cayman. We intend to treat Masterworks 204 Cayman as a separate non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although this treatment is not free from doubt. The remainder of this discussion assumes that Masterworks 204 Cayman is so treated.

However, Holders may be required to report directly income earned by Masterworks 204 Cayman in certain circumstances. See "— Controlled Foreign Corporations" and "Passive Foreign Investment Companies".

Subject to the discussion below under "Controlled Foreign Corporations" and "Passive Foreign Investment Companies", distributions of cash or other property to us from Masterworks 204 Cayman (other than certain distributions of Masterworks 204 Cayman, shares or rights to acquire its shares) generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes (without reduction for any non-U.S. tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of Masterworks 204 Cayman, current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). To the extent the amount of such distribution exceeds such current and accumulated earnings and profits, it generally will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of our adjusted tax basis in Masterworks 204 Cayman shares and then as capital gain.

If, following receipt of a ruling from the IRS, we elected to treat Masterworks 204 Cayman as an entity disregarded as separate from us, we would directly report any income, gain, loss or deduction of Masterworks 204 Cayman, and any distributions from Masterworks 204 Cayman would be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

**Taxation of U.S. Holders of Shares**

Below is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders of our Class A shares.

***Taxation of Holders of Shares on Our Profits and Losses.*** As a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, each Holder that is subject to U.S. tax will be required to take into account its distributive share, whether or not distributed, of each item of our income, gain, loss, deduction or credit. It is possible that in any year, a Holder's tax liability arising from the Company could exceed the distributions made by the Company to such Holder. The Company will file a U.S. federal partnership information return reporting its operations for each year and provide a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1 to each Holder. However, Holders may not receive such Schedule prior to when their tax return reporting obligations become due and may need to file for extensions or file based on estimates.

In addition to regular U.S. federal income tax, certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their "net investment income," which may include all or a portion of any interest income we earn that is allocable to such U.S. Holder.

***Allocation of Profits and Losses.*** For each of our fiscal years, each Holder's allocable share of our items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit will be determined by our operating agreement (the "operating agreement"), *provided* such allocations either have "substantial economic effect" or are determined to be in accordance with such Holder's interest in the Company. We believe that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such allocations will be given effect as being in accordance with such Holder's interest in the Company and we intend to prepare tax returns based on such allocations. If the allocations provided by our operating agreement were successfully challenged by the IRS, the resulting allocations to a particular Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be less favorable than the allocations set forth in our operating agreement.

Section 706 of the Code provides that items of partnership income and deductions must be allocated between transferors and transferees of shares. We will apply certain assumptions and conventions in an attempt to comply with applicable rules and to report income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to Holders in a manner that reflects such Holders' beneficial shares of our items. These conventions are designed to more closely align the receipt of cash and the allocation of income between Holders of Class A shares, but these assumptions and conventions may not conform with all aspects of existing Treasury Regulations. If the IRS successfully challenges our conventions, our items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit may be reallocated among the Holders of Class A shares to the possible detriment of certain Holders. The Board of Managers is authorized to revise our method of allocation between transferors and transferees (as well as among Holders whose interests otherwise could vary during a taxable period).

***Adjusted Tax Basis of Class A shares.*** A Holder's initial tax basis in its Class A shares will generally equal the amount such Holder paid for the Class A shares plus such Holder's allocable share of our liabilities, if any. A Holder's adjusted tax basis will be increased by such Holder's share of items of our income and gain and any increase in such Holder's share of our liabilities. A Holder's adjusted tax basis will be decreased, but not below zero, by distributions from us, such Holder's allocable share of items of our deductions and losses and by any decrease in such Holder's allocable share of our liabilities.

Holders who purchase our Class A shares in separate transactions must combine the basis of those Class A shares and maintain a single adjusted tax basis for all of those Class A shares. Upon a sale or other disposition of less than all of the Class A shares held by such Holder, a portion of that tax basis must be allocated to the Class A shares sold.

***Restrictions on Deductibility of Expenses and Other Losses***. A Holder may deduct its allocable share of our losses (if any) for U.S. federal income tax purposes only to the extent of such Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Class A shares it is treated as holding at the end of the taxable year in which the losses occur. If the recognition of a Holder's allocable share of our losses would reduce its adjusted tax basis for its Class A shares below zero, the recognition of such losses by such Holder would be deferred to subsequent taxable years and will be allowed if and when such Holder has sufficient tax basis so that such losses would not reduce such Holder's adjusted tax basis below zero. In addition, the "at-risk" rules and the limitation on "excess business losses" could limit the deductibility of losses allocable to a Holder. We do not expect to generate income or losses from "passive activities" for purposes of Section 469 of the Code. Therefore, income allocated by us to a Holder may not be offset by the Section 469 passive losses of such Holder and losses allocated to a Holder generally may not be used to offset Section 469 passive income of such Holder.

It is anticipated that our expenses generally will be investment expenses treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions, rather than trade or business expenses, with the result that any individual who is a Holder (either directly or through a Holder that is a partnership or other pass-through entity) will not be permitted to claim a U.S. federal income tax deduction for such expenses for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026 and thereafter may be limited in his or her ability to claim a U.S. federal income tax deduction for such expenses.

In general, neither we nor any Holder may deduct organizational expenses. We may elect to amortize any organizational expenses ratably over fifteen years, or we may elect to capitalize such expenses. No deduction is allowed for offering expenses, including placement fees.

***Treatment of Distributions.*** For U.S. federal income tax purposes, distributions of cash by us generally will not be taxable to a U.S. Holder to the extent of such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its Class A shares. Any cash distributions in excess of a U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis generally will be considered to be gain from the sale or exchange of our Class A shares. Under current law, such gain generally will be capital gain and will be long-term capital gain if such U.S. Holder has held such Class A share for more than one year at the time of such distribution, subject to certain exceptions.

***Disposition of Class Shares.*** A U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Class A shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition and such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such Class A share. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis will be adjusted for this purpose by its allocable share of our income or loss for the year of such sale or other disposition. Any gain or loss so recognized generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such Holder has held such Class A share for more than one year at the time of such sale, exchange or other disposition. Certain gain attributable to our investment in Masterworks 204 Cayman will generally be characterized as ordinary income rather than capital gain. See "—Controlled Foreign Corporations". Net long-term capital gain of certain non-corporate U.S. Holders generally is subject to preferential rates of tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Holders who purchase our Class A shares at different times and intend to sell all or a portion of the Class A shares within a year of their most recent purchase are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of certain "split holding period" rules to them and the treatment of any gain or loss as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss. For example, a selling Holder may use the actual holding period of the portion of its transferred Class A shares, *provided* such Class A shares are divided into identifiable Class A shares with ascertainable holding periods, the selling Holder can identify the portion of the Class A shares transferred, and the selling Holder elects to use the identification method for all sales or exchanges of our Class A shares.

***Controlled Foreign Corporations.*** In general, a corporation organized outside the United States is treated as a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which more than 50% of (i) the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such non-U.S. corporation entitled to vote or (ii) the total value of the stock of such non-U.S. corporation is owned (or is considered as owned) by "U.S. Shareholders" on any day during the taxable year of such non-U.S. corporation. A "U.S. Shareholder" with respect to a non-U.S. corporation is any U.S. person that owns (or is treated as owning) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the non-U.S. corporation entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of such non-U.S. corporation's stock. We expect that Masterworks 204 Cayman will be considered a CFC and that we will be considered a U.S. Shareholder of Masterworks 204 Cayman.

Because we expect Masterworks 204 Cayman to be treated as a CFC, a U.S. Holder of our Class A shares may have current inclusions of undistributed "Subpart F" income of Masterworks 204 Cayman or other income of Masterworks 204 Cayman that exceeds certain thresholds ("global intangible low-taxed income" or "GILTI"). Subpart F income generally includes passive income such as dividends, interest, net gain from the sale or disposition of securities and non-actively managed rents. The Subpart F income of a CFC is limited to the CFC's earnings and profits for the taxable year. GILTI consists of a U.S. Shareholder's *pro rata* share of a CFC's earnings, other than Subpart F income and certain other excluded types of income, that exceeds a 10% return on such U.S. Shareholder's *pro rata* share of the CFC's tangible assets that were used to generate such income. U.S. corporations may take a 50% deduction against GILTI, and a 37.5% deduction after 2025. These inclusions are treated as ordinary income (whether or not such inclusions are attributable to net capital gains). Thus, a Holder may be required to report as ordinary income its allocable share of Masterworks 204 Cayman Subpart F or GILTI income without corresponding receipts of cash and may not benefit from capital gain treatment with respect to the portion of our earnings (if any) attributable to net capital gains of Masterworks 204 Cayman. A Holder's tax basis in our Class A shares will be increased to reflect any required Subpart F or GILTI income inclusions. Such income generally will constitute income from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Amounts included as such income would generally not be taxable again when actually distributed. We do not expect that Masterworks 204 Cayman will earn any income in any taxable year other than gain from the sale of the Artwork in the year in which the Artwork is sold (other than de minimis dividend income to the extent Masterworks 204 Cayman earns any royalty or other income). Therefore, we do not expect that there will be any Subpart F or GILTI income of Masterworks 204 Cayman to be reported by U.S. Holders on an annual basis prior to a sale of the Artwork. However, we expect that gain from the sale of the Artwork would be treated as Subpart F income.

Because we expect to be treated as a U.S. Shareholder in a CFC for certain purposes other than for determining current inclusions, regardless of whether Masterworks 204 Cayman has Subpart F or GILTI income, any gain allocated to a Holder from our disposition of Masterworks 204 Cayman (including any gain from a liquidating distribution by Masterworks 204 Cayman) will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of such Holder's allocable share of the current and/or accumulated earnings and profits of Masterworks 204 Cayman. In this regard, earnings would not include any amounts previously taxed pursuant to the CFC rules, if any. Net losses of Masterworks 204 Cayman will not pass through to our Holders.

If, following receipt of a ruling from the IRS, we elected to treat Masterworks 204 Cayman as an entity disregarded as separate from us, the CFC rules discussed above would not apply. Instead, we would directly report any income, gain, loss or deduction of Masterworks 204 Cayman, and any distributions from Masterworks 204 Cayman would be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

***Passive Foreign Investment Companies.*** In general, a corporation organized outside the United States is treated as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is "passive income" or (ii) on average at least 50% of the value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities transactions and from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. In determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a pro rata portion of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) generally is taken into account.

If Masterworks 204 Cayman is a PFIC in any taxable year, gain on a disposition by us of shares in Masterworks 204 Cayman or gain on the disposition of our Class A shares by a Holder at a time when we own shares of Masterworks 204 Cayman, as well as certain other defined "excess distributions," will be treated as if the gain or excess distribution were ordinary income earned ratably over the shorter of the period during which the Holder held its Class A shares or the period during which we held our shares in Masterworks 204 Cayman. For a U.S. Holder that is required to include amounts in income with respect to Masterworks 204 Cayman, if any, pursuant to the subheading "Controlled Foreign Corporations", the consequences described under this subheading would not apply. For U.S. Holders that are not required to include amounts in income with respect to Masterworks 204 Cayman, if any, pursuant to the subheading "Controlled Foreign Corporations", such Holders may be subject to the PFIC rules in the event Masterworks 204 Cayman is classified as a PFIC. The interaction of these rules is complex, and prospective Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors in this regard.

If, following receipt of a ruling from the IRS, we elected to treat Masterworks 204 Cayman as an entity disregarded as separate from us, neither the CFC nor the PFIC rules would apply to Masterworks 204 Cayman.

**Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders of Class A shares**

Below is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to Non-U.S. Holders of our Class A shares and does not purport to address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to any particular Non-U.S. Holder. This discussion does not address the tax consequences of purchasing, holding or disposing of our Class A shares to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as non-U.S. governments and their controlled entities, non-U.S. pension plans, trusts, former U.S. citizens or residents and individual Non-U.S. Holders that have a "tax home" in the United States. The discussion assumes that a Non-U.S. Holder is not and will not be engaged in a trade or business within the United States, has and will have no U.S. source income apart from its investment in our Class A shares, and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is an individual, has not been (and will not be) present in the United States for 183 days or more in any taxable year.

***Interest, Dividends, Etc***. A Non-U.S. Holder is subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or at a lower rate if provided by an applicable tax treaty and the Non-U.S. Holder provides the documentation (generally, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) required to claim benefits under such tax treaty to the applicable withholding agent) on its distributive share of any U.S. source interest (subject to certain exemptions), U.S. source dividends (including, in certain cases, dividend equivalent amounts) and certain other income received by us. We expect that distributions from Masterworks 204 Cayman will not be treated as U.S. source dividends for withholding purposes.

***Effectively Connected Income***. In general, a non-U.S. person that invests in an entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is (directly or through entities treated as disregarded from their owners or as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) "engaged in trade or business within the United States" is itself considered to be engaged in trade or business within the United States and is subject to U.S. federal income tax (including, possibly, in the case of a non-U.S. corporation, the "branch profits" tax), withholding and income tax return filing requirements with respect to its income effectively connected (or treated as effectively connected) with the U.S. trade or business ("ECI"). A non-U.S. person that fails to file a timely U.S. federal income tax return in respect of its ECI may subsequently be precluded from claiming deductions related to the ECI and may be subject to interest and penalties. We believe that our activities as currently contemplated generally will not involve being engaged in a trade or business within the United States, and as a result we expect that neither Masterworks 204 Cayman nor any Non-U.S. Holder will be treated as deriving ECI as a result of our activities.

***U.S. Federal Estate Taxes for Non-U.S. Persons.*** Individual Non-U.S. Holders will be subject to U.S. federal estate tax on the value of U.S.-situs property owned at the time of their death. Our Class A shares that are owned or treated as owned by an individual Non-U.S. Holder at the time of such Non-U.S. Holder's death may be considered U.S.-situs property for U.S. federal estate tax purposes and may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise. Prospective individual holders who are non-U.S. persons are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the potential U.S. federal estate tax consequences with regard to our Class A shares.

**Administrative Matters**

***Tax Elections.*** The Board of Managers will have the authority to act on our behalf with respect to tax audits and certain other tax matters and to make such elections under the Code and other relevant tax laws as the Board of Managers deems necessary or appropriate. Accordingly, our Board of Managers can change our tax election to have our company taxed as a corporation in its sole and absolute discretion.

***Nominee Reporting.*** Persons who hold our Class A shares as nominees for another person are required to furnish to us (i) the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the beneficial owner and the nominee; (ii) whether the beneficial owner is (1) a person that is not a U.S. person, (2) a foreign government, an international organization or any wholly owned agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, or (3) a tax exempt entity; (iii) the amount and description of Class A shares held, acquired or transferred for the beneficial owner; and (iv) specific information including the dates of acquisitions and transfers, means of acquisitions and transfers, and acquisition costs for purchases, as well as the amount of net proceeds from sales. Brokers and financial institutions are required to furnish additional information, including whether they are U.S. persons and specific information on Class A shares they acquire, hold or transfer for their own account. A penalty is imposed by the Code for failure to report that information to us. The nominee is required to supply the beneficial owner of the Class A shares with the information furnished to us.

***Taxable Year.*** We currently intend to use the calendar year as our taxable year for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under certain circumstances which we currently believe are unlikely to apply, a taxable year other than the calendar year may be required for such purposes.

***Partnership Audit Rules***. We or the Holders may have potential tax liability in the event of an adjustment imposed as a result of a tax audit by the IRS. An audit resulting in an adjustment to any item of our income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or adjustment of the allocation of any such items among the Holders), and any tax (including interest and penalties) attributable to such adjustment, may be determined and collected at the Company level in the year of such adjustment. In that event of any adjustment at the Company level, under the operating agreement, the Board of Managers will allocate such tax among the Holders as equitably determined by the Board of Managers, and each Holder may be required to contribute to the Company the amount of such tax allocated to it. As a result, a Holder may bear liability for the adjustment in an amount that exceeds the taxes that the Holder (or its predecessor in interest) would have paid if the adjustment had been applied at the Holder level. Alternatively, the Board of Managers may elect to send an adjusted Schedule K-1 to each person who was a Holder in the taxable year reviewed on audit (the "Push-Out Election"). In that event, each such person (whether a current or former Holder) may elect to pay any resulting tax (including interest and penalties) or, in the case of a person that is itself treated as a partnership or other flow-through vehicle for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such person may further push out the adjustment to the next tier of partners. Non-U.S. Holders may be required to file U.S. tax returns as a result of a Push-Out Election. There is some uncertainty regarding the interpretation and implementation of these partnership audit procedures.

***Treatment of Withholding Taxes.*** We will withhold and pay over any U.S. withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to any Holder and will treat such withholding as a payment to such Holder. Such payment will be treated as a distribution to the extent that the Holder is then entitled to receive a cash distribution. To the extent that such payment exceeds the amount of any cash distribution to which such Holder is then entitled, such Holder shall be required to make prompt payment to us. Similar provisions would apply in the case of taxes withheld from a distribution to us.

***Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.*** If we are required to withhold any U.S. tax on distributions made to any Holder of Class A shares, we will pay such withheld amount to the IRS. Amounts withheld generally will be reported annually to the IRS and to the Holders by the applicable withholding agent. Distributions made to a U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding, unless such U.S. Holder provides the appropriate documentation certifying that, among other things, its taxpayer identification number ("TIN") is correct, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Such U.S. Holder should use an IRS Form W-9 for this purpose. If such U.S. Holder does not provide its correct TIN and other required information or an adequate basis for exemption, payments made to such U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding (currently, at a rate of 24%) and such U.S. Holder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the IRS. Exempt U.S. Holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to these information reporting and backup withholding requirements, provided that, if required, they properly demonstrate their eligibility for exemption. In order for a Non-U.S. Holder to avoid backup withholding, such Non-U.S. Holder should submit the appropriate version of IRS Form W-8, attesting to such Non-U.S. Holder's foreign status. The failure of such a Non-U.S. Holder to provide the appropriate IRS Form W-8 may result in backup withholding on some or all of the payments made to such Non-U.S. Holder. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished by such Holder on a timely basis to the IRS.

If you do not timely provide us with IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9, as applicable, or such form is not properly completed, we may become subject to U.S. backup withholding taxes in excess of what would have been imposed had we received certifications from all Holders. Such excess U.S. backup withholding taxes may be treated by us as an expense that will be borne by all Holders on a pro rata basis (where we are or may be unable to cost efficiently allocate any such excess withholding tax cost specifically to the Holders that failed to timely provide the proper U.S. tax certifications).

The proper application to us of rules for withholding under Section 1441 of the Code (applicable to certain dividends, interest and similar items) is unclear. Because the documentation we receive may not properly reflect the identities of Holders at any particular time (in light of possible sales of Class A shares), we may over-withhold or under-withhold with respect to a particular Holder. For example, we may impose withholding, remit that amount to the IRS and thus reduce the amount of a distribution paid to a Non-U.S. Holder. It may be determined, however, that the corresponding amount of our income was not properly allocable to such Non-U.S. Holder, and the withholding should have been less than the actual withholding. Such Non-U.S. Holder would be entitled to a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. tax liability for all withholding, including any such excess withholding, but if the withholding exceeded the Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. tax liability, the Non-U.S. Holder would be required to apply for a refund to obtain the benefit of the excess withholding. Similarly, we may fail to withhold on a distribution, and it may be determined that the corresponding income was properly allocable to a Non-U.S. Holder and withholding should have been imposed. In that event, we may determine to pay the under-withheld amount to the IRS, and we may treat such under-withholding as an expense that will be borne by all partners on a pro rata basis (since we may be unable to allocate any such excess withholding tax cost to the relevant Non-U.S. Holder).

**Reportable Transactions**

If the U.S. federal tax rules relating to "reportable transactions" are applicable to us (or any of the transactions undertaken by us), Holders that are required to file U.S. federal income tax returns (and, in some cases, certain direct and indirect interest holders of certain Holders) would be required to disclose to the IRS information relating to the Company and our transactions, and to retain certain documents and other records related thereto. Although we do not believe that the purchase of our Class A shares is a reportable transaction, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position. In addition, an interest in the Company could become a reportable transaction for Holders in the future, for example if we generate certain types of losses that exceed prescribed thresholds or if certain other events occur. It is also possible that a transaction undertaken by us will be a reportable transaction for Holders. Substantial penalties may be imposed on taxpayers who fail to comply with these laws.

In addition, other tax laws impose substantial excise taxes and additional reporting requirements and penalties on certain tax-exempt investors (and, in some cases, the managers of tax-exempt investors) that are, directly or in some cases indirectly, parties to certain types of reportable transactions.

**Certain Reporting Requirements**

Certain U.S. Holders of our Class A shares who either (i) invest (together with any person treated as related under certain U.S. tax rules) more than $100,000 in the Company during a 12-month period or (ii) hold, directly, indirectly or through certain attribution rules under the Code, at least 10% of the total voting power or total value of the Company, may be required to file Form 926, Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation, reporting certain transfers of cash or other property to foreign corporations. U.S. Holders that fail to comply with these reporting requirements may be subject to substantial penalties.

**FATCA**

Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act provisions of the Code and related U.S. Treasury guidance ("FATCA"), a withholding tax of 30% will be imposed in certain circumstances on (*i*) payments of certain U.S. source income (including interest and dividends) and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition after December 31, 2018, of property that can produce U.S. source interest or dividends ("withholdable payments") and (*ii*) payments made after December 31, 2018 (or, if later, the date on which the final U.S. Treasury regulations that define "foreign passthru payments" are published) by certain foreign financial institutions (such as banks, brokers, investment funds or certain holding companies) ("FFIs") that are "attributable" to withholdable payments ("foreign passthru payments"). It is uncertain at present when payments will be treated as "attributable" to withholdable payments.

FATCA may also apply to certain non-U.S. entities held by or affiliated with us, including Masterworks 204 Cayman.

Although the application of FATCA to a sale or other disposition of an interest in an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is unclear, it is possible that the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of an interest in the Company may be subject to tax under FATCA.

Each Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of FATCA to an investment in the Company.

**Certain State, Local and Non-U.S. Tax Considerations**

The foregoing discussion does not address the U.S. state and local or non-U.S. tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A shares. Holders may be subject to certain U.S. state and local and non-U.S. taxation, and tax return filing requirements, in the jurisdictions of our activities or investments. Holders may not receive the relevant tax information prior to when their tax return reporting obligations become due and may need to file for extensions. Prospective Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding U.S. state and local and non-U.S. tax matters.

**ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS** 

**State Securities – Blue Sky Laws**

There is no established public market for our Class A shares, and there can be no assurance that any market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our Class A shares may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as "Blue Sky" laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our Class A shares may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities qualified hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such Class A shares and persons who desire to purchase them on the Templum ATS or in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the Class A shares for an indefinite period of time.

We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in states which require Class A shares to be qualified before they can be resold by holders of Class A shares.

**Restrictions Imposed by the USA PATRIOT Act and Related Acts**

In accordance with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the USA PATRIOT Act, the securities offered hereby may not be offered, sold, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any "unacceptable investor," which means anyone who is:

 certain ongoing disclosure requirements under Rule 257 of Regulation A. We will be required to file: an annual report with the SEC
 on Form 1-K; a semi-annual report with the SEC on Form 1-SA; current reports with the SEC on Form 1-U; and a notice under cover of

 for such fiscal year, presented in accordance with GAAP, including a balance sheet and statements of operations, company equity and
 cash flows, with such statements having been audited by an accountant selected by the Company. The Company shall be deemed to have
 made a report available to each holder of Class A shares as required if it has either (i) filed such report with the SEC via its
 Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval, or EDGAR, system and such report is publicly available on such system or (ii)
 made such report available on any website maintained by us and our affiliate and available for viewing by holder of Class A shares.

**3.** **Tax Information.** As soon as practicable following the end of our fiscal year, which is currently January 1st through December 31st,
 we will send to each holder of Class A shares such tax information as shall be reasonably required for federal and state income tax
 reporting purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company is a manager-managed limited liability company. Accordingly, management of the affairs of the Company shall be vested in a Board of Managers (the "Board"). The Persons constituting the Board (each, a "Manager") will be (i) the "managers" of the Company for all purposes under the Act and (ii) the Board for all purposes under this Agreement. The Board will have the power to act only by a majority of the Managers in accordance with the provisions and in the manner specified herein. A person does not need to be a Member to serve on the Board. The Board will initially consist of three members and shall initially consist of, Nigel Glenday, Josh Goldstein and Eli Broverman as the Independent Manager, who shall serve until they resign or are replaced by a majority of the Board, and new members of the Board shall be appointed by a majority of the Board. Provided, however, the Members holding 66 2/3% of the Voting Shares can vote to remove and replace a Manager for "Cause" in accordance with Section 2.9. The size of the Board may be increased, including, without limitation, in connection with forming a Special Committee, or decreased from time to time by action of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company shall have at least one Independent Manager serving as one of the members of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Independent Manager shall consider only the interests of the Company in acting or otherwise voting on the matters set forth in this Article 2. The Independent Manager shall act where other Managers are excluded from voting on certain matters involving a direct or indirect conflict of interest between any Manager on the one hand and public investors on the other hand. The prior consent of the Independent Manager shall be required to appoint a second Independent Manager for the purpose of serving on a Special Committee. All right, power and authority of the Independent Manager shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth herein and the Independent Manager shall have no authority to bind the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as required by the Delaware Act, the Board shall have complete and exclusive discretion in the management and control of the affairs and business of the Company, and shall possess all powers necessary, convenient or appropriate to carrying out the purposes and business of the Company, including doing all things and taking all actions necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Board shall have, and shall have full authority in its discretion to exercise, on behalf of and in the name of the Company, all rights and powers of a "manager" of a limited liability company under the Delaware Act necessary or convenient to carry out the purposes of the Company Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Board or Persons designated by the Board, including officers and agents (including the Administrator) appointed by the Board, will be the only Persons authorized to execute documents which will be binding on the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, but subject to any specific provisions hereof granting rights to one (1) or more Members (e.g., the right of Masterworks Gallery, LLC to designate Board members), the Board will have the power to perform any acts, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Company (including with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company) or this Agreement, which would otherwise be possessed by the Members under Delaware law, and the Members will have no power whatsoever with respect to the management of the business and affairs of the Company (including with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company) except as expressly provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company shall enter into a management services agreement with Masterworks Administrative Services, LLC (the "Administrator") in form and substance as reasonably determined by the Initial Member (the "Management Services Agreement"). The Board has authorized the Administrator to manage all day to day operations of the Company. Any amendment to the Management Services Agreement that would be adverse or detrimental to the interests of members of the Company must be approved by holders of a majority of voting shares. Any termination of the Management Services Agreement will require the prior written consent of Masterworks Gallery, LLC. Any change in the vesting provisions of Class A Preferred Shares granted to the Administrator pursuant to the Management Services Agreement which have the purpose or effect of accelerating the vesting date to an earlier date, shall require the consent of holders of a majority of the Class A shares eligible to vote on such matter, provided, however, that shareholder consent shall not be required for an acceleration of the vesting date upon an Approved Sale of the Artwork. An "Approved Sale" is a sale of the Artwork that is approved in writing in advance by a Special Committee, provided that such approval contains an affirmative representation by such Special Committee that such approval (i) is given freely without influence or direction by or from the Company, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates (ii) that the members of the Special Committee have no direct or indirect financial interest in such sale transaction (other than an indirect financial interest due solely to ownership of securities in an affiliate of the Administrator representing less than 1% of the outstanding equity securities in such affiliate) and (iii) confirms that the Special Committee has determined that such sale is in the best interests of the shareholders unaffiliated with the Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, all decisions regarding the management and operations of the Company shall be made by the Board, provided, however, that the Administrator shall have all power and authority to take any and all actions necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of the Management Services Agreement and the Board may designate any Officers of the Company to have control or authority with respect to one or more decisions or areas of operation, and may include such limitations or restrictions on such power as they may deem reasonable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At any time, the Board may appoint and replace individuals as officers or agents of the Company ("Officers") with such titles as the Board may elect to act on behalf of the Company with such power and authority as the Board may delegate to such persons. Any number of offices may be held by the same person. Officers shall hold their offices for such terms as shall be determined from time to time by the Board. Unless otherwise determined and set forth by the Board and subject to the policies and procedures of the Company applicable to Officers and employees, each Officer shall have the powers, rights and obligations as are customarily held and exercised by other persons in similar positions in limited liability companies organized under the Delaware Act, subject to Section 2.1(c). The Officers shall hold office until their successors are chosen and qualified. Any Officer may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Board. The Officers may also be officers or employees of other Persons. The Officers, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Board not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company's business and the actions of the Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each Officer shall have a fiduciary duty of loyalty and care as set forth in the Delaware Act. No Officer shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be deemed not to be a breach of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) or any other obligation of any type whatsoever of any Manager or any officer or employee or any Affiliates of such Manager, officer or employee (other than any express obligation contained in any agreement to which such Person and the Company or any of its subsidiaries are parties) to engage in outside business interests and activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Company or in direct competition with the Company; provided such Person does not engage in such business or activity as a result of or using confidential information provided by or on behalf of the Company to such Person; provided, further, that a Person shall not be deemed to be in direct competition with the Company solely because of such Person's ownership, directly or indirectly, solely for investment purposes, of securities of any publicly traded entity if such Person does not, together with such Person's Affiliates, collectively own 5% or more of any class or securities of such publicly traded entity, and such Person is not a director or officer (and does not hold an equivalent position) in such publicly traded entity. Neither the Board, not any officer or employee shall have no obligation hereunder or as a result of any duty expressed or implied by law to present business opportunities to the Company that may become available to Affiliates of such Person. None of any Member or any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of the Board's or any officer's or employee's or any Affiliates of the Board, officer or employee duties as the Board or any Manager, officer or employee or this Agreement in any business ventures of the Administrator or any Manager or any officer or employee or any Affiliates of the Administrator or any such Manager, officer or employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Nigel S. Glenday is hereby designated as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Josh Goldstein is designated the General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, each to serve in such capacity until his earlier death, resignation or removal from office.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 <u>Members.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A Person shall be admitted as a Member and shall become bound by, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by, the terms of this Agreement if such Person purchases or otherwise lawfully acquires any Share, and such Person shall become the Record Holder of such Share, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A Member may be a Class A Member, a Class B Member and or Class C Member, and, in such case, shall have the rights and obligation accorded to the Class A Ordinary Shares with respect to such Class A Ordinary Shares or the rights and obligation accorded to the Class A Preferred Shares with respect to such Class A Preferred Shares, as applicable, the rights and obligations accorded to the Class B Ordinary Shares with respect to such Class B Ordinary Shares and the rights and obligations accorded to the Class C Ordinary Share with respect to such Class C Ordinary Share. A Person may become a Record Holder without the consent or approval of any of the Members and without physical execution of this Agreement. A Person may not become a Member without acquiring a Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The name and mailing address of each Member or such Member's representative shall be listed on the books and records of the Company maintained for such purpose by the Company or the Transfer Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the Members shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement: (i) no Member shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of any Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon dissolution of the Company may be considered as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement; (ii) no Member shall have priority over any other Member either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions; (iii) no interest shall be paid by the Company on Capital Contributions; and (iv) no Member, in its capacity as such, shall participate in the operation or management of the Company's business, transact any business in the Company's name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Company by reason of being a Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Any Member shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Company, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the Company. Neither the Company nor any of the other Members shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any such business interests or activities of any Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 <u>Shares; Membership Interests.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The total of the membership interests in the Company shall be divided into (i) Class A Ordinary Shares having the rights and preferences as set forth herein (the "Class A Ordinary Shares"), (ii) Class A Preferred Shares having the rights and preferences as set forth herein (the "Class A Preferred Shares" and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the "Class A Shares"), (iii) Class B Ordinary Shares having the rights and preferences as set forth herein (the "Class B Ordinary Shares"), and (iv) Class C Ordinary Share having the rights and preferences as set forth herein (the "Class C Ordinary Share" and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the Class A Preferred Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares, the "Shares" and each a "Share"). Class A Ordinary Shares, Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall have the same rights, powers and duties, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. The number of Class A Ordinary Shares shall be limited to the maximum number of Class A Ordinary shares offered in the Offering, plus (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Shares, plus (ii) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares. The number of Class A Preferred Shares shall be limited to the number of Class A Preferred Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Management Services Agreement. The number of Class B Ordinary Shares shall be limited to up to 1,000. The number of Class C Ordinary Shares shall be limited to one. Class A Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the Management Services Agreement ("ASA Shares") may be subject to vesting provisions as set forth in the Management Services Agreement. The Shares of the Members shall be as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, which may be updated as set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that all of the Class A Ordinary Shares are not sold pursuant to the Offering, the Board shall, upon the final closing of the Offering, issue a number of Class A Ordinary Shares to the Initial Member equal to the aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares that remain unsold in the Offering, as repayment in full of any and all obligations owing to the Initial Member in respect of advances made to acquire the Artwork and true-up fees payable to the Initial Member. The name and mailing address of each Member or such Member's representative shall be listed on the books and records of the Company maintained for such purpose by the Company or the Transfer Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Prior to the date hereof and as set forth in the Original Agreement, the Initial Member has been issued 100% of the membership interests in the Company in return for a capital contribution of $100 (the "Prior Interests"). Upon execution of this Agreement, the Prior Interests shall be automatically converted into 1,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. As of the date of such conversion, the Class B Ordinary Shares shall constitute all of the membership interests of the Company and, prior to the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class A Preferred Shares and Class C Ordinary Share, shall have all of the rights and privileges of 100% of the membership interests in the Company afforded pursuant to this Agreement and applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board shall have full power and authority to schedule one or more closings to issue Class A Ordinary Shares and admit Members to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Person that acquires Class A Ordinary Shares and is admitted as a Member of the Company after the date hereof, shall, in connection with such Member's acquisition of such Class A Ordinary Shares, be deemed to pay to the Company such Member's *pro rata* share of any amounts used to acquire the Artwork, including any true-up fees and any other amounts paid to the Company by the previously admitted Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Class A Members may elect to convert their Class A Preferred Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Artwork, subject to the terms and conditions herein, for no additional consideration. Each Class A Preferred Shares will automatically convert to one Class A Ordinary Share upon any Transfer of such Class A Preferred Shares to an entity that is not an Affiliate of the Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Class B Members may elect to convert their Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Artwork, subject to the terms and conditions herein, for no additional consideration pursuant and to the following conversion formula: The number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares shall equal (A) the Value Increase, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Percentage, multiplied by (C) 20%, divided by (D) the Class A Ordinary Share Value. For purposes herein:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "Value Increase" means, the aggregate value of Shares outstanding at such time, minus the product of (A) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding at such time and (B) $20.00, if such difference is positive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) "Conversion Percentage" means, (A) the number of Class B Ordinary Shares being converted, divided by (B) the total number of Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding (i.e. up to 1,000).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) "Class A Ordinary Share Value" means, as of the close of business on the day preceding the date, the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on all trading platforms or trading systems on which the Class A Ordinary Shares are being traded over the forty-five (45) trading days then ended, provided, that if the total aggregate trading volume over such 45-trading-day period is less than 5% of the public float, such period shall be extended to the ninety (90) trading days then ended, provided, further, if the total aggregate trading volume over such 90-trading-day period is less than 5% of the public float, the holder of the Class B Ordinary Shares shall request that the Board obtain an appraisal of the value of the Class A Ordinary Shares from one or more independent nationally-recognized third party appraisal companies and such appraisal shall constitute the Class A Ordinary Share Value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Class C Ordinary Share will only be issued to, or subsequently transferred to, a Masterworks Investor, if any, and will have the right to remove and or replace all or any members of the Board of Managers and reconstitute the Board without "cause" for any reason. The Class C Ordinary Share, once issued, may be redeemed or cancelled by mutual agreement between the Class C Member and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Any investor in the Offering, generally cannot own, or be deemed to beneficially own, as "beneficial ownership" is determined pursuant to Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act, more than 19.99% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding. Such ownership limitation does not apply to any affiliate of Masterworks. We may waive such limit on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. In addition, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.4(e), if a Member beneficially owns more than 10% of the Class A Ordinary Shares offered in the Offering, such Member acknowledges that the Member's name, address and holdings may be reported in the Company's ongoing SEC filings, including the beneficial ownership table in the Company's Annual Report on Form 1-K. If a Vote Limited Member submits an irrevocable request in writing to the Board to limit its voting rights to 10% or less of the Company's Voting Shares, such Vote Limited Member's name, address and holdings may not be reported in the Company's ongoing SEC filings, unless such person is otherwise deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The determination of affiliate status for such purposes shall be made by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion and the Company or its transfer agent may require any shareholder that owns more than 10% of the Class A Ordinary Shares to provide a legal opinion and or other information it deems necessary or appropriate to determine such person's affiliate status. If any such shareholder owns more than 10% of the Class A Ordinary Shares and is deemed to be an "affiliate", notwithstanding the limit on voting, such person will be identified in the beneficial ownership table in the Company's Annual Report on Form 1-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Subject to Section 2.10 and except as otherwise indicated, for all purposes of this Agreement, unvested ASA Shares shall be treated as if they were fully vested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 <u>Certificates and Representations of Shares.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Shares may be recorded in book entry form or may be evidenced by certificates or electronic or crypto tokens or coins, or in any other form, as determined by the Board as may be permitted by the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Board shall determine otherwise in respect of one or more classes of Shares or as may be required by the Depository with respect to any specific class of Shares, Shares shall not be evidenced by physical Certificates. No Member shall have the right to require the Company to issue physical Certificates representing Shares for any reason, except as may be required by applicable law. If the Board authorizes the issuance of Shares to any Person in the form of physical Certificates, the Company shall issue one or more Certificates in the name of such Person evidencing the number of such Shares being so issued. Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Board. If and to the extent a Transfer Agent has been appointed with respect to any class or series of Shares, no Certificate representing such class or series of Shares shall be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that if the Board elects to issue Shares in global form, the Certificates representing Shares shall be valid upon receipt of a certificate from the Transfer Agent certifying that the Shares have been duly registered in accordance with the directions of the Company. Any or all of the signatures required on the Certificate may be by facsimile. If any officer or Transfer Agent who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed upon any such Certificate shall have ceased to be such officer or Transfer Agent before such Certificate is issued by the Company, such Certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such Person were such officer or Transfer Agent at the date of issue. Certificates for any class or series of Shares shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered on the books and records of the Company as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number and type of Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Company or the Transfer Agent, the appropriate officers on behalf of the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate evidencing the same number and class or series of Shares as the Certificate so surrendered. The appropriate officers on behalf of the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, a new Certificate in place of any Certificate previously issued if the Record Holder of the Certificate: (i) makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that a previously issued Certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen; (ii) requests the issuance of a new Certificate before the Company has notice that the Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim; (iii) if requested by the Company, delivers to the Company a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, with surety or sureties and with fixed or open penalty as the Company may direct to indemnify the Company and the Transfer Agent against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the Certificate; and (iv) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Company. If a Member fails to notify the Company within a reasonable time after he has notice of the loss, destruction or theft of a Certificate, and a Transfer of the Shares represented by the Certificate is registered before the Company or the Transfer Agent receives such notification, the Member shall be precluded from making any claim against the Company or the Transfer Agent for such Transfer or for a new Certificate. As a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) reasonably connected therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 <u>Record Holders.</u> The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of a Share and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Share on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which such Shares are listed for trading. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring and/or holding Shares, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7 <u>Registration and Transfer of Shares.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any Transfer of any Shares shall only be completed subject to the compliance by the Member and the proposed transferee with all applicable laws; and furthermore may only be completed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Other than (i) any Transfer of Shares which is an Involuntary Transfer or (ii) any Transfer that occurs on an alternative trading system that has been approved by the Company in writing, and Transfer of Shares shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company, which the Company may give or withhold in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company a register (which may be in electronic form) that will provide for the registration and Transfer of Shares. The Company may appoint a Transfer Agent to act as registrar and transfer agent for the purpose of registering any class of Shares and Transfers of such class of Shares as herein provided. For Shares represented by Certificates, upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of Transfer of any Shares evidenced by a Certificate, the appropriate Officers of the Company shall execute and deliver, and in the case of Shares for which a Transfer Agent has been appointed, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the Record Holder's instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Shares as were evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered, provided that a transferor shall provide the address and facsimile number for each such transferee as set forth on Exhibit A at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company shall not recognize any Transfer of Shares evidenced by Certificates until the Certificates evidencing such Shares are surrendered for registration of Transfer. No charge shall be imposed by the Company for such Transfer; provided, that as a condition to the issuance of Shares, whether or not such Shares are evidenced by Certificates, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto. The Company's transfer agent may require a transferring shareholder to pay reasonable and customary fees in connection with any voluntary transfer of Class A shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) By acceptance of the Transfer of any Share, each transferee of a Share (including any nominee holder or an agent or representative acquiring such Shares for the account of another Person) (i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Member with respect to the Shares so Transferred to such transferee when any such Transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, (ii) shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) shall become the Record Holder of the Shares so transferred, (iv) grants powers of attorney to the Officers of the Company and any Liquidating Trustee, as specified herein, and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement. The Transfer of any Shares and the admission of any new Member shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude electronic book-entry only Transfer of Shares or the settlement of any transactions involving Shares entered into through electronic systems maintained by the Administrator on behalf of the Company, facilities of the Depository or any National Securities Exchange on which such Shares are listed for trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Initial Member and its Affiliates shall not be permitted to Transfer any Shares that are Beneficially Owned by them prior to the one-year anniversary of the final closing of the Offering, except to a Masterworks Affiliate or as required by law or in bankruptcy or similar proceeding, and shall not be permitted to Transfer any unvested ASA Shares at any time, provided, however, notwithstanding the definition of the term "Transfer," the Initial Member and its Affiliates shall be permitted, during such one-year period, to pledge any or all of such Shares to unaffiliated third-party lenders and, for the avoidance of doubt, such lenders shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.7(g) if they obtain Beneficial Ownership of such Shares in connection with a default by the Initial Member and its Affiliates pursuant to the transactions in which such third-party lenders obtained such Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Any Class A shares held by a Member that beneficially owns greater than 10% of the outstanding Class A shares, whether or not any of such shares constitute Voting Shares for purposes of this Agreement, shall bear a customary "restricted" legend, which may be a virtual legend, evidencing the restricted nature thereof. Such Member shall not be entitled to execute a voluntarily transfer of such shares through the Templum ATS (or any similar system or market that permits transfers of unrestricted securities) or request removal of such restrictive legend on such shares, unless the Company and its Transfer Agent are satisfied, in their sole and absolute discretion, that such proposed de-legending and/or transfer complies with applicable federal securities laws and the Company and/or its Transfer Agent shall be entitled to require the requesting Member to furnish the Company with an opinion from counsel of national recognition in support of such request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Class C Ordinary Share, once issued, can only be transferred between Masterworks affiliated entities, including from one Masterworks Investor to another.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Share(s) in contravention of this Agreement shall be absolutely null and void *ab initio* and of no force or effect, on or against the Company, any Member, any creditor of the Company or any claimant against the Company and may be enjoined, and shall not be recorded on the books and records of the Company. No distributions of cash or property of the Company shall be made to any transferee of any Share(s) which is/are Transferred in violation hereof, nor shall any such Transfer be registered on the books of the Company. The Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Share(s) in violation hereof shall not affect the Beneficial Ownership of such Share(s), and, notwithstanding such Transfer or attempted Transfer, the Member making such prohibited Transfer or attempted Transfer shall retain the right to vote, if any, and the right to receive liquidation proceeds and any other distributions with respect to the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.8 <u>Voting.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Voting Share shall be entitled to and shall constitute one (1) vote. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Voting Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted for approval of Members. Upon the issuance of the Class B Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Prior Interests, the Class B Ordinary Shares shall constitute Voting Shares and have the right to vote on any matter on which the Members are entitled to vote on hereunder or on which the Members are required to vote pursuant to the Delaware Act and shall be entitled to and shall constitute one (1) vote. Upon any issuance of any Class A Ordinary Shares, the Class B Ordinary Shares shall no longer constitute Voting Shares and shall have no further voting rights except as specifically set forth herein, unless such right to vote is specifically required and mandated by the Delaware Act or as set forth herein. The Class A Preferred Shares do not constitute Voting Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In determining any action or other matter to be undertaken by or on behalf of the Company, each Member shall be entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of Voting Shares that such Member holds, with the power to vote, at the time of such vote unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, or otherwise required by the Delaware Act, the taking of any action by the Company which required a vote of the Members as set forth above shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Voting Shares, subject to any approval of the Board as required herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding the forgoing, any Class A Shares issued to any Affiliate of the Administrator pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, as set forth in Section 2.4 or otherwise held by any Affiliate of the Administrator (the "Masterworks Shares"), shall not, while such Shares are Beneficially Owned by any Affiliate of the Administrator, be entitled to vote on any matter on which the Class A Members are entitled or required to vote hereunder or pursuant to the Delaware Act, and shall not be considered in determining the existence of a quorum or in the total number of votes available or required hereunder or pursuant to the Delaware Act. Once the Masterworks Shares, if any, are Transferred to any Person who is not an Affiliate of the Administrator, the Masterworks Shares shall thereafter have all voting rights that any other Voting Shares held by any Class A Member have hereunder or pursuant to the Delaware Act. In the event that the Delaware Act or any other law requires, at any time, that the Masterworks Shares vote on any matter notwithstanding the provisions herein, the Masterworks Shares shall be required to be, and shall be, voted in the same proportion as the Voting Shares that are not Masterworks Shares are voted by the Class A Members. Any Masterworks Shares shall bear a customary "restricted" legend, which may be a virtual legend, evidencing the restricted nature thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In addition to the other matters on which the Members holding Voting Shares have the right to vote as set forth herein, the approval of Members holding a majority of the Voting Shares shall be required for the Company to undertake any of the following actions, except as otherwise set forth herein:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) acquiring any additional material assets, other than those incidental to the direct or indirect ownership, maintenance and promotion of the Artwork or the eventual Sale of the Artwork and other than the ownership of any equity or membership interests of any subsidiary of the Company which owns or holds the Artwork;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) conducting any business activities, except for activities relating to its direct or indirect investment in the Artwork and the ownership, maintenance and promotion of the Artwork or the eventual Sale of the Artwork; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) incurring any material loans or material borrowing arrangements to be entered into by the Company as a debtor other than those incidental to the direct or indirect investment in the Artwork and the ownership, maintenance and promotion of the Artwork or the eventual Sale of the Artwork;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) amending, waiving or failing to comply with any material provision of this Agreement, including amending this Agreement to increase the number of Shares that may be issued hereunder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company will own the Artwork for an indefinite period and may sell the Artwork at any time following the final closing of the Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In any vote of the Voting Members pursuant to Section 2.8(d), any Shares that are Beneficially Owned by the Initial Member or any Affiliate of the Initial Member, shall not be entitled to vote of any such matter and shall not be considered in determining the total number of votes available or required hereunder or pursuant to the Delaware Act, provided, however, that, in the event that the Delaware Act or any other law requires that such Shares that are Beneficially Owned by the Initial Member or any Affiliate of the Initial Member vote on any matter notwithstanding this Section 2.8(f), such Shares shall be required to be, and shall be, voted in the same proportion as the Voting Shares that are Beneficially Owned by Members holding Voting Shares other than the Initial Member or any Affiliate of the Initial Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Any member that beneficially owns 5% or more of the Class A shares (excluding shares beneficially owned by Masterworks) may provide the Company with a Vote Limit Certificate in the form of Exhibit B that from the effective date set forth in such notice (or if no such effective date is indicated, the date such notice is received by the Company) such Member shall be subject to a Vote Limit. Any shares beneficially owned by such Vote Limited Member in excess of the Vote Limit shall not constitute Voting Shares for any purposes of this Agreement for so long as such shares are beneficially owned by such Vote Limited Member or any affiliate of such Vote Limited Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.9 <u>Removal or Replacement of a Manager</u>. Any Manager may be removed or replaced without "Cause" at any time by a majority of the Board and each Manager may be removed and or replaced and our Board can be reconstituted for any reason by the Class C Member, if any.

In addition, any Manager may be removed for "Cause" upon the approval of Voting Members holdings at least two-thirds of the Voting Shares. For purposes herein, "Cause" shall mean:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the commission by the applicable Manager of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the conviction of the applicable Manager of a felony;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a material violation by the applicable Manager of any applicable law that has a material adverse effect on the business of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the applicable Manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 <u>Withdrawal or Removal and Replacement of Administrator</u>. The Administrator may withdraw for any reason upon notice to the Initial Member, provided that such withdrawal shall be effective only following a Sale of the Artwork and distribution of the proceeds. The Administrator may be removed and replaced at any time for any reason with or without approval of the Board upon the affirmative vote of Voting Members holdings at least two-thirds of the Voting Shares. In the event of any such withdrawal or removal and replacement of the Administrator, any unvested ASA Shares shall be forfeited as of the effective date of such withdrawal or removal and such ASA Shares shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding for any purposes of this Agreement.

**ARTICLE 3** **CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNT; DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1 <u>Capital Contributions.</u> Persons seeking to become a Member shall be required to purchase or acquire Shares and make capital contributions in such forms and in such amounts and at such times as the Board may require, if any, in its sole discretion (any, a "Capital Contribution") whereupon a capital account for a new Member will be established, and, if applicable, accreted, in the amount of such Member's Capital Contribution or based upon the fair market value of property contributed, and the new Member shall be issued a number of Class A Ordinary Shares as determined by the Board, and the Board shall update Exhibit A attached hereto accordingly. The provisions of this Section 3.1 are solely intended for the benefit of the Members and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Company (and no such creditor shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement). The Members shall have no duty or obligation to any creditor of the Company to make any contribution to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <u>Capital Account</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) There shall be established for each Member on the books of the Company a Capital Account in accordance with Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) At the close of each Fiscal Year, and at certain other periods, as in the case of a withdrawal, there shall be determined for each Member, such Member's closing Capital Account for such period which shall be determined by adjusting such Member's opening Capital Account for such period, as the case may be, as follows: (i) by increasing such Member's Capital Account by (A) such Member's allocable share of each item of the Company's income and gain for such period (allocated in accordance with Section 3.2(d)), and (B) the Capital Contributions, if any, made by such Member during such period and (ii) by decreasing such Member's Capital Account by (A) the amount of cash or the Fair Value of any property distributed in kind to such Member by the Company during such period and (B) such Member's allocable share of each item of the Company's loss and deduction for such period (allocated in accordance with Section 3.2(d)). Each Member's Capital Account shall be further adjusted with respect to any special allocations or adjustments pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event the Company is terminated during any period in accordance with ARTICLE 6, the closing Capital Accounts of the Members for such Fiscal Year then completed will be determined as of the date of termination of the Company in the manner provided in this Section 3.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) For each Fiscal Period, as of the end of such Fiscal Period, each item of income, deduction, gain or loss of the Company (determined in accordance with U.S. tax principles as applied to the maintenance of capital accounts) shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members in such manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect to the provisions of Section 3.3 and Section 6.3(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If all or a portion of a Member's Shares are Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Shares so transferred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 <u>Distributions</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company, in the sole discretion of the Board, in the event there are Available Funds, may make distributions thereof ("Distributions") to Members as set forth herein. "Available Funds" means the Company's gross cash receipts from operations, less the sum of: (1) payments of principal, interest, charges and fees pertaining to any of the Company's indebtedness; (2) costs and expenses incurred in the conduct of the Company's business; and (3) amounts reserved to meet the reasonable needs of the Company's business. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Member may receive a Distribution to the extent that, after giving effect to the Distribution, all liabilities of the Company (other than to a Member on account of its Shares and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of the Company) exceed the fair market value of the assets of the Company (except that property that is subject to a liability for which the recourse of the creditors is limited to such property shall be included in the assets of the Company only to the extent the Fair Market Value of such property exceeds that liability). In the event of a Distribution to a Member that would be deemed violative of applicable law, the applicable Member may be required to return such Distribution to the Company. Each Distribution in respect of any Shares shall be paid by the Company, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Shares as of the Record Date set for such Distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Company's liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Administrator declares and determines to make any Distribution of cash or other assets to the Members, all such Distributions shall be made to the Members as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) 100% to the Class A Preferred Members, pro rata in proportion to the number of Class A Preferred Shares held by each such Member until the aggregate Distributions (including all prior Distributions made pursuant to this Section 3.3, if any) paid per Class A Preferred Share equals $20.00; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) 100% to the Class A Members, pro rata in proportion to the number of Class A Ordinary Shares held by each such Member until the aggregate Distributions (including all prior Distributions made pursuant to this Section 3.3, if any) paid per Class A Ordinary Share equals $20.00; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) In the event any funds remain available for distribution after payments referenced in clause (A), (1) 80% of such remaining amount to the Class A Members, pro rata in proportion to the number of Class A Ordinary Shares held by each such Member and (2) 20% of such remaining amount to the Class B Members, pro rata in proportion to the number of Class B Ordinary Shares held by each such Member, *provided* that the percentage of such remaining amount required to be distributed to the Class B Members shall be reduced (and the percentage distributed to the Class A Members shall be correspondingly increased) to the extent any Class B Ordinary Shares have been previously converted into Class A Ordinary Shares, by the percentage of Class B Ordinary Shares previously converted into Class A Ordinary Shares. Upon mutual agreement of the Class B Members and the Company, the Class B Ordinary Shares may be redeemed by the Company for a nominal amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) By way of examples and not limitation, (i) in the event of a Distribution pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(C) prior to the conversion of any Class B Ordinary Shares, such Distribution shall be apportioned 20% to the Class B Ordinary Shares and 80% to the Class A Shares, pro rata, and (ii) in the event of a Distribution pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(C) following the conversion of 25% of the Class B Ordinary Shares, the Distribution apportioned to the Class B Ordinary Shares shall be proportionately reduced by 25% of 20%, to 15%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, no Member shall be required to restore or repay to the Company any funds properly distributed to it pursuant to this Section 3.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 <u>Tax Allocations.</u> Each item of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by the Company shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner that each such item is allocated to the Member's Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 3.2(d) or as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Board may adjust such allocations as long as such adjusted allocations have substantial economic effect or are in accordance with the interests of the Members in the Company, in each case within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Tax credits and tax credit recapture shall be allocated in accordance with the Members' interests in the Company as provided in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property (other than cash) contributed to the capital of the Company or revalued shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution or revaluation, as the case may be. All of the Members agree that the Board is authorized to select the method or convention, or to treat an item as an extraordinary item, in relation to any variation of any Member's interest in the Company described in section 1.706-4 of the Treasury Regulations in determining the Members' distributive shares of Company items. All matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, including accounting procedures, not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Each Class B Ordinary Share is intended to be treated as a profits interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all of the Members agree to report consistently with, and to take any action requested by the Board to ensure, such treatment.

**ARTICLE 4** **LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 <u>Liability of a Member</u>. The liability of each Member shall be limited as provided in the Delaware Act and as set forth in this Agreement. No Member shall be obligated to restore by way of Capital Contribution or otherwise any deficits in its Capital Account (if such deficits occur).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 <u>Exculpation and Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) No Protected Person shall be liable to the Company or any Manager or any other Member for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by other Person with respect to the Company, including any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a liability resulting from such Protected Person's own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any intentional and material breach of this Agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). With the prior consent of the Board, any Protected Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to Company affairs (including interpretations of this Agreement) and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants. In determining whether a Protected Person acted with the requisite degree of care, such Protected Person shall be entitled to rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of the directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and professional advisors of the Company selected with reasonable care; provided that no such Protected Person may rely upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend each Protected Person against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in enforcing a Protected Person's right to indemnification under this Agreement, and any amounts expended in respect of settlements of any claims approved by the Board (collectively, "Liabilities"), to which any Protected Person may become subject:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission (even if negligent) arising out of or in connection with the activities of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) by reason of the fact that it is or was acting in connection with the activities of the Company in any capacity or that it is or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, shareholder, member, director, officer, employee, or agent of any Person;

unless, such Liability results from such Protected Person's own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or intentional and material breach of this Agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Administrator may, on behalf of the Company, reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Protected Person for reasonable legal or other costs and expenses (as incurred) of such Protected Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Liabilities for which the Protected Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.2 and for all costs and expenses, including fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys, reasonably incurred by such Protected Person in enforcing the indemnification provisions of this Section 4.2; provided, that such Protected Person executes a written undertaking to repay the Company for such reimbursed or advanced costs and expenses if it is finally judicially determined that such Protected Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 4.2. Upon any liquidation of the Company, such reimbursements or advancement of expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company to the Administrator prior to any other distributions hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In connection with any Tax Proceeding, the Partnership Representative shall resolve each issue in the Tax Proceeding only in accordance with the affirmative accession of the Board to the advice of the Partnership Representative made, either independently or in consultation with the Company's tax preparer, after appropriately articulating to it the issues involved and the dynamics of the impact upon the Company and the Members respective to any such proposed posture.

This provision shall survive each Person's cessation as a Member of the Company or any amendment or termination of this Agreement for so long as a return of a Reviewed Year of the Company as to which any Person was a Member would be open to audit, and each Person signing this Agreement as a Member hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and the other Members from and against any amounts of assessed taxes as they would be otherwise obligated to pay in accordance with this Section 5.2, in a case in which such Person would not do so, as well as against all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs that would be incurred by the Company or such other one or more Members in the event undertakings, including legal proceedings, to enforce such obligation hereunder against such Person were commenced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Members acknowledge that the Board reserves the right to supplement or amend any applicable provisions of this Agreement, including as to this Section 5.2, to address such additional processes or procedures as may be indicated as such unresolved issues are prospectively addressed as to reasonably facilitate the Company's compliance with the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Members shall provide the Company with such information, which may be necessary or desirable in connection with preparing and filing tax elections or otherwise in connection with the compliance with applicable tax laws, including providing information in connection with Section 743 of the Code and elections permitted thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Redemption shall be completed no later than one day prior to the date a liquidating distribution is required to be made pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof (the "Redemption End Date").

The Liquidating Trustee may also authorize the payment of fees and expenses reasonably required in connection with the winding up of the Company and any fees and expenses payable pursuant to any agreement to which the Company is party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Within a reasonable period of time following the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, after allocating all items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to Section 3.4, the Company's assets (except for assets reserved pursuant to Section 6.4) shall be applied and distributed in the following manner and order of priority:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the claims of all creditors of the Company (including Members except to the extent not permitted by law) shall be paid and discharged other than liabilities for which reasonable provision for payment has been made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to the Members in the same manner as Distributions under Section 3.3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, liquidating distributions shall be made no later than the last to occur of (x) 90 days after the date of disposition (including pursuant to Section 6.4 of the last remaining asset of the Company and (y) the end of the Company's taxable year in which the disposition referred to in clause (x) shall occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Liquidating Trustee shall allocate securities for distribution in kind to the Members. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount by which the Fair Value of any property to be distributed in kind to the Members (including property distributed in liquidation and property distributed pursuant to Section 3.3) exceeds or is less than the adjusted basis of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the Company, be taken into account in computing income, gains and losses of the Company for purposes of crediting or charging the Capital Account of, and distributing proceeds to, the Members, pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) When the Liquidating Trustee has completed the winding up described in this Section 6.3, the Liquidating Trustee shall cause the Termination of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 <u>Assets Reserved and Pending Claims</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If, upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, there are any assets that, in the judgment of the Liquidating Trustee, cannot be sold or distributed in kind without sacrificing a significant portion of the value thereof or where such sale or distribution is otherwise impractical at the time of the Dissolution Event, such assets may be retained by the Company if the Liquidating Trustee determines that the retention of such assets is in the best interests of the Members. Upon the sale of such assets or a determination by the Liquidating Trustee that circumstances no longer require their retention, such assets (at their Fair Value) or the proceeds of their sale shall be taken into account in computing Capital Account on winding up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 6.3(b), and distributed in accordance with such value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If there are any claims or potential claims (including potential Company expenses in connection therewith) against the Company (either directly or indirectly, including potential claims for which the Company might have an indemnification obligation) for which the possible loss cannot, in the judgment of the Liquidating Trustee, be definitively ascertained, then such claims shall initially be taken into account in computing The Capital Account upon winding up and distributions pursuant to Section 6.3(b) at an amount estimated by the Liquidating Trustee to be sufficient to cover any potential loss or liability on account of such claims (including such potential Company expenses), and the Company shall retain funds (or assets) determined by the Liquidating Trustee in its discretion as a reserve against such potential losses and liabilities, including expenses associated therewith, and for any other Company purpose. The Liquidating Trustee may in its discretion obtain insurance or create escrow accounts or make other similar arrangements with respect to such losses and liabilities. Upon final settlement of such claims (including such potential Company expenses) or a determination by the Liquidating Trustee that the probable loss therefrom can be definitively ascertained, such claims (including such potential Company expenses) shall be taken into account in the amount at which they were settled or in the amount of the probable loss therefrom in computing the Capital Account on winding up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 6.3(b), and any excess funds retained shall be distributed as such funds would be distributed under Section 6.3(b).

The Delaware Court of Chancery may issue such orders as may be appropriate, including orders designating the time and place of such meeting, the record date for determination of Members entitled to vote, and the form of notice of such meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) No Members or group of Members, acting in its or their capacity as Members, shall have the right to call a meeting of the Members.

Any previously scheduled meeting of the Members may be postponed, and any meeting of the Members may be canceled, by resolution of the Board upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of the Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Board shall designate the place of meeting for any meeting of the Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 <u>Record Date.</u> For purposes of determining the Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members, the Board may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than 5 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such exchange shall govern). If no Record Date is fixed by the Board, the Record Date for determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given.

Attendance of a Person at any such meeting of the Members shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Members need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by resolution of the Board. All waivers and approvals shall be filed with the Company records or made part of the minutes of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6 <u>Quorum; Required Vote.</u> At any meeting of the Members, the holders of a majority of the Voting Shares entitled to vote represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum unless any such action by the Members requires approval by holders of a greater percentage of Voting Shares entitled to vote, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. The submission of matters to Members for approval shall occur only at a meeting of the Members duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that the Members present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Members to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of Shares entitled to vote specified in this Agreement. Any meeting of Members may be adjourned from time to time by the chairman of the meeting to another place or time, without regard to the presence of a quorum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.7 <u>Conduct of a Meeting; Member Lists.</u>

The Board shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting.

The Board may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Members, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.9 <u>Voting and Other Rights.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Only those Record Holders of Voting Shares on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 7.3 shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Members or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Voting Shares have the right to vote or to act. All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Voting Shares shall be deemed to be references to the votes or acts of the Record Holders of such Voting Shares on such Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to Voting Shares that are held for a Person's account by another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), in whose name such Voting Shares are registered, such other Person shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Voting Shares on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Voting Shares in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the Beneficial Owner, and the Company shall be entitled to assume it is so acting without further inquiry.

Any such proxy shall be delivered in accordance with the procedure established for the relevant meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "electronic transmission" means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this paragraph may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

The Board may designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by a duly appointed inspector or inspectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) With respect to the use of proxies at any meeting of Members, the Company shall be governed by paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 212 of the DGCL and other applicable provisions of the DGCL, as though the Company were a Delaware corporation and as though the Members were shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the event that the Company becomes subject to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, pursuant to and subject to the provisions of Rule 14a-16 under the Exchange Act, the Company may, but is not required to, utilize a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as described in such rule, in conjunction with proxy material posted to an Internet site, in order to furnish any proxy or related material to Members pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act.

Any notice, payment or report to be given or made to a Member hereunder shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made, and the obligation to give such notice or report or to make such payment shall be deemed conclusively to have been fully satisfied, upon sending of such notice, payment or report to the Record Holder of such Shares at his address as shown on the records of the Transfer Agent or delivered electronically as otherwise shown on the records of the Company (including on Exhibit A attached hereto), regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such Shares by reason of any assignment or otherwise. An affidavit or certificate of making of any notice, payment or report in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.1 executed by the Company, the Board or the Transfer Agent or the mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report. If any notice, payment or report addressed to a Record Holder at the address of such Record Holder appearing on the books and records of the Transfer Agent or the Company is returned by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver it or is returned or there is a delivery failure through any electronic communication, such notice, payment or report and any subsequent notices, payments and reports shall be deemed to have been duly given or made without further mailing (until such time as such Record Holder or another Person notifies the Transfer Agent or the Company of a change in his address or electronic address, as applicable) if they are available for the Member at the principal office of the Company for a period of one year from the date of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report to the other Members. Any notice to the Company shall be deemed given if received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Company designated pursuant to the terms and conditions herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may amend this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto, without the approval of the Members (i) to evidence the joinder to this Agreement of a new Member of the Company; (ii) in connection with the Transfer of Shares; (iii) in connection with any issuance of Shares to the Administrator or to any existing members, whether as a result of issuances to the Administrator pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, upon conversion of the Series B Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 2.4(d), or otherwise, (iv) as otherwise required to reflect Capital Contributions, distributions and similar actions hereunder; (v) to reflect the naming of new officers, members of the Board or replacement of officers or managers of the Company; (vi) pursuant to Section 8.7, and (vii) any change the Board deems necessary or appropriate to enable trading of membership interests. Notwithstanding the forgoing the Board is authorized to make such amendments to this Agreement as required in order to comply with any applicable law, including, without limitation, any securities law or tax law, whether currently in place or promulgated in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 <u>Successors and Assigns.</u> This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 <u>No Waiver.</u> Except as set forth in Section 8.17 hereof with respect to forum selection, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 <u>Survival of Certain Provisions.</u> The covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 and Section 5.2 shall survive the Termination of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.6 <u>Telephone Consumer Protection Act Consent</u>. Each Member expressly consents to receiving calls and messages, including auto-dialed and pre-recorded message calls, and SMS messages (including text messages) from the Administrator, its affiliates, agents and others calling at their request or on their behalf, at any telephone numbers that the Member has provided to the Company or Masterworks (including any cellular telephone numbers). Member's cellular or mobile telephone provider will charge Member according to the type of plan Member carries. Any Member may unsubscribe from receiving text messages or promotional calls at any time by (i) replying STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END or QUIT to any text message such Member receives from the Company or Masterworks or (ii) email to support@masterworks.com with one of the forgoing words in the subject line. Each Member acknowledges and consents that following such a request to unsubscribe, such Member may receive one final text message from Masterworks confirming such request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.7 <u>Corporate Treatment.</u> The Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes. If, however, the Board determines, in its sole discretion, for any reason (including the proposal, formally or informally, of legislation that could affect the Company's status as a partnership for U.S. federal and/or applicable state and local income tax purposes) that it is not in the best interests of the Company to be characterized as a partnership, the Board may take whatever steps, if any, are needed to cause the Company to be or confirm that the Company will be treated as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, including by making an election to be taxed as a "C" corporation pursuant to the Code (a "Change in Tax Classification"), without any approval or vote of the Members required, and to make such filings, including without limitation, a Form 8832 with the Service, and to undertake such actions as required to effect such Change in Tax Classification. At the time and following any Change of Tax Classification, the Board shall have the right, without any approval or vote of the Members being required, to amend this Agreement as reasonably required to effect the Change in Tax Classification and to provide for the operations of the Company following such event. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event U.S. federal (and/or applicable state and local) income tax laws, rules or regulations are enacted, amended, modified or applied after the date hereof in such a manner as to require or necessitate that the Company no longer be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal (and/or applicable state and local) income tax purposes, then the first sentence of this Section 8.7 shall no longer apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.8 <u>Section 7704(e) Relief.</u> In the event that the Board determines the Company should seek relief pursuant to Section 7704(e) of the Code to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes, the Company and each Member shall agree to adjustments required by the tax authorities, and the Company shall pay such amounts as required by the tax authorities, to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.9 <u>Electronic Information.</u> Each Member hereby agrees that all current and future notices, confirmations and other communications may be made by the Company via email, sent to the email address of record of the Member provided to the Company as changed or updated from time to time, without necessity of confirmation of receipt, delivery or reading, and such form of electronic communication is sufficient for all matters regarding the relationship between the Company and the Members except as otherwise required by law. If any such electronically sent communication fails to be received for any reason, including but not limited to such communications being diverted to the recipients spam filters by the recipients email service provider, or due to a recipient's change of address, or due to technology issues by the recipients service provider, the parties agree that the burden of such failure to receive is on the recipient and not the sender, and that the sender is under no obligation to resend communications via any other means, including but not limited to postal service or overnight courier, and that such communications shall for all purposes, including legal and regulatory, be deemed to have been delivered and received. Except as required by law, no physical, paper documents will be sent to Members, and a Member desires physical documents then such Member agrees to be satisfied by directly and personally printing, at such Member's own expense, the electronically sent communication(s) and maintaining such physical records in any manner or form that a Member desires.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.10 <u>Severability.</u> In case any provision in this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.11 <u>Interpretation</u> The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. As used herein, masculine pronouns shall include the feminine and neuter, neuter pronouns shall include the masculine and the feminine, and the singular shall be deemed to include the plural.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.14 <u>Rule of Construction.</u> The general rule of construction for interpreting a contract, which provides that the provisions of a contract should be construed against the party preparing the contract, is waived by the parties hereto. Each party acknowledges that such party was represented by separate legal counsel in this matter who participated in the preparation of this Agreement or such party had the opportunity to retain counsel to participate in the preparation of this Agreement but elected not to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.15 <u>Authority.</u> Whenever in this Agreement or elsewhere it is provided that consent is required of, or a demand shall be made by, or an act or thing shall be done by or at the direction of, the Company, or whenever any words of like import are used, all such consents, demands, acts and things are to be made, given or done by the consent of the Board or Person acting under the authority of the Board, unless a contrary intention is expressly indicated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.16 <u>Governing Law.</u> This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.17 <u>Choice of Forum for Securities Act Disputes</u>. Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to and contingent upon a final adjudication in the State of Delaware of the enforceability of such exclusive forum provision. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Agreement.

 as well as on the SEC's EDGAR website at www.sec.gov. Please read this Agreement, the Offering Circular, and the Operating
 Agreement. While they are subject to change, as described below, we advise you to print and retain a copy of these documents for

**2. Subscription Procedures, Payment and Delivery**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** **Subscription Procedures.** The procedures for subscribing to the Offering are set forth in <u>Annex A</u> to this Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** **Payment.** Contemporaneously with the electronic execution and delivery of this Agreement through the Masterworks Platform, you will pay
 the Purchase Price for the Shares in the form of ACH debit transfer, wire transfer, credit card (any credit card subscriptions shall
 not exceed the lesser of $30,000 or the amount permitted by applicable law, per Subscriber) or an alternative payment method as specified
 by you on the Masterworks Platform, if applicable, into a segregated non-interest-bearing account held by the Company until the applicable
 closing date of the Offering. **Investors contemplating using their credit card to invest are urged to carefully review "Risk Factors – Risks of investing using a credit card" in the Offering Circular. Credit card investment will result in incurrence of third-party fees and charges, interest obligations which will lower your expected investment returns and could exceed your actual returns. In addition, if you cannot meet your minimum payment obligation, you may damage your credit profile which would make it more difficult and more expensive to borrow in the future**. Your subscription is irrevocable. We will maintain all such
 funds for Subscriber's benefit until the earliest to occur of: (i) the applicable closing date, (ii) the rejection of such
 subscription or (iii) the termination of the Offering by us in our sole discretion.

**c.** **Acceptance**.
 This subscription shall be deemed to be accepted only when this Agreement has been signed by the Company and delivered to you electronically. **The deposit of the payment of the Purchase Price for clearance will not be deemed an acceptance of this Agreement**.

**d.** **Rejection or Termination**. The payment of the Subscription Amount (or, in the case of rejection of a portion of the Subscriber's subscription,
 the part of the payment relating to such rejected portion) will be returned, without interest, but subject to deduction of third
 party processing fees, if any, if Subscriber's subscription is rejected in whole or in part or if the Offering is terminated
 or canceled.

**e.** **Issuance of Shares.** We will not issue Shares until the initial closing and your funds will be stored in a segregated account until the
 applicable closing date. Upon the release of your Purchase Price to the Company at the applicable closing, you will receive notice
 and evidence of the digital book-entry (or other manner of record) of the number of Shares owned by you reflected on the books and
 records of the Company, which books and records shall bear a notation that the Shares were sold in reliance upon Regulation A.

 website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac before making the following representations. Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the
 Company as follows:

● Subscriber represents that (i) no part of the funds used by the Subscriber to acquire the Shares has been, or shall be, directly or indirectly derived from, or related to, any activity that may contravene United States federal or state or non-United States laws or regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations, and (ii) no payment to the Company by the Subscriber and no distribution to the Subscriber shall cause the Company to be in violation of any applicable anti-money laundering laws or regulations including, without limitation, Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001 and the United States Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Offering Circular or any other agreement, to the extent required by any anti-money laundering law or regulation, the Company may restrict distributions or take any other reasonably necessary or advisable action with respect to the Shares, and the Subscriber shall have no claim, and shall not pursue any claim, against the Company or any other person in connection therewith. U.S. federal regulations and executive orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the "  ***OFAC Programs***") prohibit dealing with individuals<sup>1</sup>or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists.

● To the best of the Subscriber's knowledge, none of: (1) the Subscriber; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Subscriber; (3) if the Subscriber is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Subscriber; or (4) any person for whom the Subscriber is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs. Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Subscriber become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. Subscriber understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to "freeze the account" of the Subscriber, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Subscriber, declining to make any distributions and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and any broker may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Subscriber's identity to OFAC. Subscriber further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Subscriber, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Subscriber if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any broker or any of the Company's other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

● To the best of the Subscriber's knowledge, none of: (1) the Subscriber; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Subscriber; (3) if the Subscriber is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Subscriber; or (4) any person for whom the Subscriber is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure<sup>2</sup>, or any immediate family<sup>3</sup> member or close associate<sup>4</sup> of a senior foreign political figure, as such terms are defined in the footnotes below.

<sup>1</sup> These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

<sup>2</sup> A "***senior foreign political figure***" is defined as a senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military or judicial branches of a foreign government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major foreign political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned corporation. In addition, a "senior foreign political figure" includes any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, a senior foreign political figure.

<sup>3</sup> "***Immediate family***" of a senior foreign political figure typically includes the figure's parents, siblings, spouse, children and in-laws.

<sup>4</sup> A "***close associate***" of a senior foreign political figure is a person who is widely and publicly known to maintain an unusually close relationship with the senior foreign political figure, and includes a person who is in a position to conduct substantial domestic and international financial transactions on behalf of the senior foreign political figure.

● If the Subscriber is affiliated with a non-U.S. banking institution (a "  ***Foreign Bank*** "), or if the Subscriber receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities; (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated affiliate.

● Subscriber acknowledges that, to the extent applicable, the Company will seek to comply with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and any rules, regulations, forms, instructions or other guidance issued in connection therewith (the "  ***FATCA Provisions*** "). In furtherance of these efforts, the Subscriber agrees to promptly deliver any additional documentation or information, and updates thereto as applicable, which the Company may request in order to comply with the FATCA Provisions. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Offering Circular, any side letter or any other agreement, the failure to promptly comply with such requests, or to provide such additional information, may result in the withholding of amounts with respect to, or other limitations on, distributions made to the Subscriber and such other reasonably necessary or advisable action by the Company with respect to the Shares (including, without limitation, required withdrawal), and the Subscriber shall have no claim, and shall not pursue any claim, against the Company or any other person in connection therewith.

**4. Ownership Limitation and Reporting**. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the terms of the Company's Operating Agreement, Subscriber generally cannot own, or be deemed to beneficially own, as "beneficial ownership" is determined pursuant to Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act, more than 19.99% of the total number of Class A shares outstanding. The Company may waive such limits on a case-by-case basis in its sole discretion. In addition, if Subscriber holds 10% or more of the Class A shares entitled to vote, Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber's name, address and holdings may be reported in the Company's ongoing SEC filings.

**5.** **Survival; Indemnification.** All representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the indemnification contained herein shall survive (a) the acceptance of this Agreement by the Company, (b) changes in the transactions, documents and instruments described herein which are not material or which are to the benefit of Subscriber, and (c) the death or disability of Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties and agreements in Section 3 hereof and that the Company has relied upon such representations, warranties and covenants in determining Subscriber's qualification and suitability to purchase the Shares. Subscriber hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements), judgments or amounts paid in settlement of actions arising out of or resulting from the untruth of any representation of Subscriber herein or the breach of any warranty or covenant herein by Subscriber. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, except as set forth in Section 14 hereof with respect to forum selection, no representation, warranty, covenant or acknowledgment made herein by Subscriber shall in any manner be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights granted to it under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

**6**. **Tax Forms**. Subscriber will also need to complete an IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate Form W-8, which should be returned directly to us via the Masterworks Platform. The Subscriber certifies that the information contained in the executed copy (or copies) of IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 (and any accompanying required documentation), as applicable, when submitted to the Company or Masterworks will be true, correct and complete. Subscriber shall (i) promptly inform the Company of any change in such information, and (ii) furnish to us a new properly completed and executed form, certificate or attachment, as applicable, as may be required under the Internal Revenue Service instructions to such forms, the Code or any applicable Treasury Regulations or as may be requested from time to time by us. In addition, Subscriber understands that if Subscriber invests an amount equal to or exceeding $100,000 or purchases 10% or more of the total Class A shares offered in the Offering and Subscriber is a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident or U.S. entity, Subscriber will be required to file IRS Form 926.

**7**. **No Advisory Relationship**. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arms-length transaction between you and the Company. In connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares, neither the Company nor Masterworks is acting as your agent or fiduciary. Neither the Company nor Masterworks assumes any advisory or fiduciary responsibility in your favor in connection with the Shares. Neither the Company nor Masterworks has provided you with any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Shares, and you have consulted your own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent you have deemed appropriate.

**8**. **Telephone Consumer Protection Act Consent**. Subscriber hereby expressly consents to receiving calls and messages, including auto-dialed and pre-recorded message calls, and SMS messages (including text messages) from the Administrator, its affiliates, agents and others calling at their request or on their behalf, at any telephone numbers that Subscriber has provided to the Company or Masterworks (including any cellular telephone numbers). Subscriber's cellular or mobile telephone provider will charge Subscriber according to the type of plan Subscriber carries. To unsubscribe from text messages or promotional calls at any time, Subscriber may (i) reply STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END or QUIT to any text message such Subscriber receives from the Administrator or Masterworks or (ii) email support@masterworks.com with one of the forgoing words in the subject line. Each Subscriber consents that following such a request to unsubscribe, such Subscriber may receive one final text message from Masterworks confirming such request. Subscriber understands that unsubscribing from promotional and/or account-related texts or calls will not prevent Masterworks from sending Subscriber text messages or telephone calls for purposes other than promotion and marketing.

**9. Masterworks Platform.** Subscriber acknowledges that it has read, understands and agrees to the terms and conditions, privacy policy and disclaimers on the Masterworks Platform.

**10**. **Transfer Restrictions.** Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer as described in the Offering Materials. The Shares may only be transferred by operation of law or with the consent of the Company:

● to an immediate family member or an affiliate of the owner of the Class A shares,

● to a trust or other entity for estate or tax planning purposes,

● as a charitable gift, or

● on a trading platform approved by Masterworks or in a transaction otherwise approved by Masterworks.

The Company may withhold consent in its sole discretion, including when the Administrator determines that such transfer, assignment or pledge would result in (a) the Artwork being deemed "plan assets" for purposes of ERISA, (b) the transferee holding in excess of 19.9% of the total voting shares, (c) a change of US federal income tax treatment of the Company and the Class A ordinary shares, or (d) the Company or the Administrator being subject to additional regulatory requirements.

As a condition to recording any transfer on our books and records, the transferring holder may be required to pay a transfer fee equal to the actual third-party transaction cost of recording such transfer. These costs will be charged on a per transaction basis irrespective of the number of Shares transferred. Transfers will also be subject to restrictions imposed under state and international securities laws. Certificates or other instruments representing the Shares (including crypto-tokens) shall bear a digital or physical restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or instruments):

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER PURSUANT TO THE COMPANY'S OPERATING AGREEMENT AND THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE SECURITIES WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF SUCH PROVISIONS SHALL BE VOID, AB INITIO.

**11**. **Arbitration.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** Either
 party may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding
 arbitration pursuant to this Section 11 (this "  ***Arbitration Provision*** "). The arbitration shall be conducted
 in New York, NY. As used in this Arbitration Provision, "  ***Claim***" shall include any past, present, or future
 claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and the Company
 and or Masterworks (or persons claiming through or connected with the Company or Masterworks), on the other hand, relating to or
 arising out of this Agreement, the Shares, the Masterworks Platform, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to,
 or result from any of the foregoing, including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of Section (e) below)
 the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement, provided that this provision
 shall not apply to any Claims arising under Federal securities laws. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they
 arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise.
 Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise.
 The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.

**b.** The
 party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the "  ***AAA***") or JAMS.
 The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the
 rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any
 countervailing law. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision,
 this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the
 rules and policies of the administrator apply.

**c.** If
 we elect arbitration, we shall pay all the administrator's filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees).
 If you elect arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules
 of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator's rules. We shall
 pay the administrator's hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be
 paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator's rules or applicable law require otherwise, or you request
 that we pay them and we agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorney's fees, except as otherwise provided
 by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding
 anything to the contrary herein.

**d.** Within
 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, a party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected
 according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator. In the event of such an appeal, an opposing party may cross-appeal within
 30 days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and
 conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the administrator's rules, in the same way as the
 initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal,
 shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (the "  ***FAA*** "),
 and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**e.** We
 agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim that you may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if
 any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED
 ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR
 CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE,
 OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.

**f.** Unless
 otherwise provided in this Agreement or consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may
 join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same
 arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration,
 an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims
 in arbitration, and shall not (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve
 any Claim of anyone other than a named party, or (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party.
 No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this sub-section (e), and any
 attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to
 the validity of this sub-section (e) shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.

**g.** This
 Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under
 the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator
 may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this
 Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court.
 The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.

**h.** This
 Arbitration Provision shall survive (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or amendments to this Agreement and the relationship
 of the parties; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any party hereto or other party; and (iii) any transfer of any loan or Common
 Share or any amounts owed on such loans or notes, to any other party. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than sub-section
 (e) is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and
 in force. If arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in sub-section
 (e) are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of sub-section (e) to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had.
 In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized
 in this Arbitration Provision.

**12. Waiver of Court & Jury Rights.** THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SHARES OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATED THERETO. THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS MADE UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

**13. Damage Limitation.** IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE TO THE SUBSCRIBER FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND HAVE EFFECT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE OR REGULATION.

**14. Choice of Forum for Securities Act Disputes<u>.</u>** Subscriber acknowledges that the Company's amended and restated operating agreement contains a provision that requires any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act to be litigated in the federal district courts of the United States of America.

**15. Miscellaneous.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** **Captions and Headings**. The Article and Section headings throughout this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no
 way be deemed to define, limit or add to any provision of this Agreement.

**<u>ANNEX A</u>**

**PROCEDURES FOR SUBSCRIBING**

After the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part, if you decide to subscribe for any Class A ordinary shares in this Offering, you should go to the Masterworks Platform website at https://www.masterworks.com/, and follow the links and procedures described on the website. The website will direct you to receive (upon your acknowledgement that you have had the opportunity to review this offering circular), review, execute and deliver the subscription agreement electronically. The Masterworks Platform provides a secure portal to enable you to subscribe as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. You
 will be required to provide basic identifying information, including your name, email address, phone number, and to establish a password,
 after which you will be prompted to continue to the next screen. After that, Masterworks sends you an email requesting you to click
 a link that verifies your email address and confirms that you created your profile with Masterworks.

2. If
 applicable based on your identifying information, you may be prompted to schedule a call with an Arete RIA adviser representative,
 at which time you will also be asked to agree to an Investment Advisory Agreement, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to
 the offering statement of which this offering circular is an integral part.

3. Once
 you complete a call with an Arete RIA adviser representative, if applicable, and once an offering has been qualified by the SEC, you can initiate the subscription process by clicking a "Invest Now"
 link adjacent to a reference to the particular offering.

4. You
 will then be presented with a link to the final Offering Circular (and any post qualification supplements or amendments, if applicable)
 and basic information about the Offering, including an image of the relevant artwork, the maximum aggregate offering amount and the
 minimum investment amount.

5. You
 will be requested to input and confirm the dollar amount of your proposed subscription.

6. You
 will then be prompted to select whether you are investing yourself or through an entity, trust or joint account.

7. After
 a prompt to continue, you will be requested to select a payment method, including: (i) linking
 a bank account to facilitate payment through the Automated Clearing House, or ACH, (ii) federal
 funds wire transfer, (iii) credit card, (iv) transfer from an IRA account, or (v) your
 Masterworks wallet as follows: (a) *ACH.* If you choose to link your bank account, you will be requested to select your bank among a directory of banks and you
 will be prompted to provide your bank user name and password and to select the particular account. You may also confirm your bank
 account by confirming micro deposits in lieu of using your user name and password. (b) *Wire Transfer.* If you choose to pay by wire transfer, you will be provided with the issuer's bank account number, routing
 number and bank address, along with a unique identifying code that will enable us to match the incoming wire transfer with your subscription. (c) *Credit Card.* If you choose to pay by credit card, you will be prompted to provide your credit card information and will be
 presented with a screen that reflects the amount of your subscription, the amount of fees that would be charged by the credit card
 issuer for the transaction and the total amount payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. After
 payment is complete, you will be directed to review and execute a copy of the subscription agreement, which contains an active hyper-link
 to the operating agreement for the issuer and is self-populated with your name, address, telephone number, subscription amount and
 method of payment.

9. Next,
 you will be requested to complete certain special reporting obligations questions. Then, you must verify your identity and you will
 be presented with an active hyperlink to a Customer ID Program Notice which describes the identification information you need to
 provide. You will be prompted to provide us with your address, date of birth and your social security or tax identification number.
 You will also be asked: (i) whether you are an accredited investor (with appropriate definitions provided) and if not, you will be
 asked to confirm that your investment will be less than 10% of your net worth or annual gross income, (ii) whether you or anyone
 in your household are associated with a FINRA member, securities exchange, self-regulatory organization or the SEC and (iii) whether
 you or anyone in your household or immediate family is a 10% shareholder, officer, or member of the board of directors of a publicly
 traded company.

10. After
 your identity is cleared against certain governmental terrorist watch lists and lists designed to prevent or deter money-laundering,
 you will be presented with a confirmation of your accepted subscription. Investors selecting ACH or wire transfer will receive an
 email that payment has been initiated and a follow-up email indicating that the payment has been received by the issuer.

11. You
 will receive an email confirmation indicating the amount of your subscription, along with a fully executed copy of the subscription
 agreement, which will be time and date stamped, for your records.

12. You
 will then be presented with a screen requesting certain tax exemption status information that will be used, along with other information
 previously provided, to populate a Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) or W-8 (International),
 as applicable.

13. Lastly,
 you will be directed to a "My Account" screen that summarizes the status of your subscription, order history, whether
 or not shares have been issued, profile information, tax documents and active hyperlinks to the subscription agreement and operating
 agreement.

Any potential investor will have ample time to review the offering circular and subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. We will not accept any money until the SEC declares the relevant offering circular qualified. All funds received from investors will be held in a non-interest bearing segregated bank account of the Company with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or a similar institution. The funds in the account will be released to us only after we close on the applicable closing date. We intend to accept subscriptions on a rolling basis and complete one or multiple closings. Until the initial closing (or another applicable closing), the proceeds for the offering will be kept in the segregated bank account. At each closing, the offering proceeds collected prior to the date of such closing will be distributed to us and the associated Class A ordinary shares will be issued to the investors who subscribed prior to such applicable closing date. If there is no initial closing or if funds remain in the account upon termination of the offering without any corresponding closing, the funds deposited in the segregated account will be promptly returned to subscribers, without deduction and generally without interest.

 by or from the Company, the Administrator or any of their respective affiliates (ii) that the members of the Special Committee have
 no direct or indirect financial interest in such sale transaction (other than an indirect financial interest due solely to ownership

 return for the Services, the Administrator shall earn management fees and expense reimbursements in the form of Class A preferred
 shares of the Issuer equal to 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, comprised
 of a 1.0% entity management fee and a 0.5% art management fee, per annum, after giving effect to such issuance, issued on a quarterly
 basis in arrears, commencing on the date of the final closing of the Offering or the date of an earlier closing if, as of such earlier

 Class A preferred shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in Section 6 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no fees

 Offering (or the date on which at least 95% of the Class A shares offered have been issued).

(b) Subject
 to Section 6 hereof, the Class A preferred shares shall be earned ratably on the basis of a 360- day year comprised of twelve (12)

 Artwork) and the number of Class A preferred shares actually received by the Administrator and any excess Class A preferred shares
 received by the Administrator, if any, shall be refunded to the Issuer, as applicable, and any shortfall payable or issuable to the
 Administrator shall be issued to the Administrator on or immediately prior to consummation of the sale of the Artwork.

(c) In
 addition to the Class A preferred shares, in connection with the provision of the Non-Routine Services, the Issuer shall reimburse
 the Administrator for all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and payments incurred or made by the Administrator in connection with such
 Non-Routine Services, provided, the reimbursement obligation shall be suspended (without interest or penalty) until the Artwork is
 sold.

(d) Masterworks
 may determine to sell the Artwork without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would charge the
 buyer of the Artwork a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer's premium charged by Sotheby's, Christie's
 or Phillips in effect at such time.

(e) For
 so long as this Agreement remains in effect, Administrator covenants to maintain on hand cash reserves sufficient to pay at least
 one year of estimated expenses to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and the commitment from the Administrator to fund
 the operations of the Issuer and the maintenance of the Artwork until the sale of the Artwork.

4. <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Indemnification of Protected Persons*. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Parties (other than the Administrator) shall jointly and severally indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend the Administrator, its Affiliates, any officer, manager, board member, employee or any direct or indirect partner, member or shareholder of the Administrator, any Person who serves at the request of the Administrator on behalf of any of the Parties as an officer, director, partner, member, manager, board member, shareholder or employee of any other Person, and any Person who was, at the time of the act or omission in question, such a Person (each, a "***Protected Person***") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in enforcing the Protected Person's right to indemnification under this Agreement (collectively, "***Liabilities***"), to which any Protected Person may become subject (i) by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission (even if negligent) arising out of or in connection with the activities of such Party; or (ii) by reason of the fact that it is or was acting in connection with the activities of such Party in any capacity or that it is or was serving at the request of any Party as a partner, member, shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of any Person, unless, in each case, such Liability results from such Protected Person's own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any material breach of this Agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). The termination of any proceeding by settlement, judgment, order, conviction, or upon a plea of *nolo contendere* or its equivalent shall not, by itself, create a presumption that such Protected Person's conduct constituted actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any material breach of this Agreement or the commission of a crime, except a judgment, order or conviction that expressly provides that such Protected Person's conduct constituted actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any material breach of this Agreement or the commission of a crime.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Reimbursement of Expenses*. The Issuer and or Masterworks Cayman shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Protected Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Protected Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Liabilities for which the Protected Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4; provided, that such Protected Person executes a written undertaking to repay the Issuer or Masterworks Cayman, as applicable, for such reimbursed or advanced expenses if it is finally judicially determined that such Protected Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 4. In any action, suit or proceeding against Protected Persons, such Protected Persons shall jointly employ, at the expense of the Issuer or Masterworks Cayman, counsel of the Protected Persons' choice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, in such action, suit or proceeding; provided that if retention of joint counsel by such Protected Persons would create a conflict of interest, each Protected Person whose participation in such joint representation would cause such a conflict shall have the right to employ, at the expense of the Issuer, separate counsel of the respective Protected Person's choice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer in such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that if any indemnitor shall acknowledge in writing its liability to the Protected Person for any action, suit or proceeding brought by a third party in connection with which any Protected Person is seeking indemnification, then such indemnitor shall be entitled to select the counsel to defend such action, suit or proceeding, subject to the approval of the Protected Person, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Survival of Protection*. The provisions of this Section 4 shall continue to afford protection to each Protected Person regardless of whether such Protected Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Protected Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 4 and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement; provided, that no such amendment shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Recovery*. Each Protected Person shall use its reasonable efforts to pursue other third-party sources of indemnification in respect of any Liabilities for which it or any Protected Person may require indemnification in accordance with this Section 4. If any Protected Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Liabilities from insurance coverage or any third-party source, then such Protected Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Issuer for any amounts previously paid to it by the Issuer in respect of such Liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Survival*. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 4 will be in addition to any rights to which a Protected Person might otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law, and shall extend to each of such Protected Person's heirs, successors and assigns. The provisions of this Section 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Exceptions to Indemnification*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer's obligations under Section 4(a) (*Indemnification of Protected Persons*) and Section 4(b) (*Reimbursement of Expenses*) shall not apply to any actions, suits or proceedings in which one or more officers, directors, partners, members or employees of the Administrator are making claims against the Administrator or one or more other officers, directors, partners, members or employees of the Administrator.

5. <u>Assignment</u>. Any assignment of this Agreement by a Party shall require the approval of the other Parties.

6. <u>Vesting</u>. Any Class A preferred shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to cliff vesting on December 31, 2025 (the "***<u>Initial Vesting Date</u>***"), and in the event vesting occurs on the Initial Vesting Date, a new cliff vesting period shall apply to all Class A shares issuable to Masterworks from and after such Initial Vesting Date until the three-year anniversary of such Initial Vesting Date and all of such Class A preferred shares will vest on such three-year anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date and such process will be repeated in successive three-year periods (each such vesting date, together with the Initial Vesting Date, a "***Vesting Date***"). Any vesting period may be extended for a five-year period or shortened in accordance with this Section 6, provided, that any applicable Vesting Date shall be accelerated upon an Approved Sale to the date any such Approved Sale is consummated, except in the case that such sale is not approved by the Special Committee. At any time prior to the 12-month anniversary of the applicable Vesting Date, the Parties can mutually agree in writing to extend the Vesting Date for one or more additional five-year periods, or agree at any time to accelerate the Vesting Date to an earlier date, provided that any agreement to accelerate the Vesting Date to an earlier date (other than in connection with a sale of the Artwork) shall be ineffective unless and until the Company obtains the consent of holders of a majority of the Class A shares eligible to vote on such matter. Any Class A shares beneficially owned by the Administrator and its affiliates shall not be eligible to vote on such matter.

The unvested Class A preferred shares issued or issuable hereunder shall be forfeited if this Agreement is terminated prior to the applicable Vesting Date or if the Special Committee does not approve a sale of the Artwork. The Administrator may also, in its sole discretion, reduce unearned management fees or voluntarily forfeit any unvested management fees, in whole or in part. Any Class A preferred shares that are forfeited shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall have no rights to distributions.

All of the Class A preferred shares issued pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Effective Date shall be fully vested upon issuance and shall not be subject to the vesting provisions set forth in this Section 6.

The holders of the Company's Class A shares may remove and replace the Administrator with another person or entity by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Class A shares eligible to vote, such removal to take effect on the date any such successor administrator has been appointed (the "***Removal Effective Date***").

7. <u>Term and Termination</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the dissolution of the Issuer; (ii) upon notice of termination from the Administrator that the Administrator desires to withdraw as the administrator of the Issuer, Masterworks Cayman and of the Artwork, which the Administrator may give at any time in the event that the Administrator determines that it desires to cease providing services of the type as set forth herein to any Person, and provided that the Administrator does so cease providing such services thereunder, (iii) upon the Removal Effective Date, and (iv) on the joint agreement of the Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In addition to the termination provisions as set forth in Section 7(a), the Issuer may terminate this Agreement at any time upon any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the commission by the Administrator or any of its executive officers of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the conviction of the Administrator of a felony;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a material breach by the Administrator of the terms of this Agreement which breach is not cured within 30 days after receipt by the Administrator of a notice of such breach from any member of the Issuer (provided that if such breach is not capable of cure within 30 days, and Administrator is diligently taking steps to cure the breach, then no such event shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until the Administrator fails to cure such breach within 60 days after receiving notice thereof);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) a material violation by the Administrator or any of its executive officers of any applicable law that has a material adverse effect on the business of the Issuer; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Parties shall, on the date of such termination or if it does not have the available funds on such date, as soon as practicable after it does have the available funds, pay any accrued but costs subject to reimbursement by such Parties through to such date.

8. <u>Notices</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, mailed by internationally recognized courier service or airmail, or sent by email with return receipt requested to the following addresses of the Parties or to such other address as such Party may have specified for notice:

9. <u>Arbitration.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Either Party may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 9 (this "***Arbitration Provision***"). The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, NY. As used in this Arbitration Provision, "***Claim***" shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving the Parties or any Protected Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement, including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of Section 9(e) the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the "***AAA***") or JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the Administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any countervailing law. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the Administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the Administrator apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If a Party elects arbitration, such party shall pay all the Administrator's filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). Each Party shall bear the expense of its own attorney's fees, except as otherwise provided by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, a party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator Administrator. In the event of such an appeal, an opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the Administrator's rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (the "***FAA***"), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each party agrees not to invoke its right to arbitrate an individual Claim that a party may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party, or (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No party or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this Section 9(f), and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this Section 9(f) shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the party or any arbitrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) This Arbitration Provision shall survive (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or amendments to this Agreement and the relationship of the Parties; and (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Party or other party. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than sub-section (e) is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in Section 9(e) are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9(e) to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.

10. <u>Miscellaneous.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Amendment*. This Agreement may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties or their respective successors or permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Governing Law*.

THE FOREGOING SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND HAVE EFFECT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE OR REGULATION.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL*. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATED THERETO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Successors and Assigns*. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) *Third Party Beneficiaries*.

**EXHIBIT** **6.2**

**FORM OF MASTERWORKS INTERCOMPANY AGREEMENT**

This intercompany agreement ("***Agreement***") is made effective as of [ ], 2022 (the "***Effective Date***") by and between MASTERWORKS.IO, LLC ("***IO***"), MASTERWORKS GALLERY, LLC ("***Masterworks Gallery***" and, together with IO, "***Masterworks***") and MASTERWORKS 204, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "***Company***"), provided that as the context requires, the term "***Company***" as used herein may refer to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or a segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman SPC that is wholly owned by the Company, and is intended to set forth certain representations, covenants and agreements between Masterworks and the Company with respect to the offering (the "***Offering***") for sale by the Company of its Class A ordinary membership interests (referred to herein as the "***Shares***") as described in the Company's Offering Circular dated as of the date of its qualification by the SEC, as amended by any post-qualification amendment (the "***Offering Circular***"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Offering Circular. Masterworks and the Company may be referred to collectively herein as the "***Parties***".

**RECITALS:**

**WHEREAS,** Masterworks Gallery has negotiated a transaction whereby Masterworks Gallery, acting as agent for the Company, will purchase the Artwork as described in the Offering Circular for the purchase price of $;

**WHEREAS,** the purchase of the Artwork by the Company will occur on or prior to the initial closing of the Offering;

**WHEREAS**, Masterworks will advance all or any portion of the funds necessary to acquire the Artwork to the Company pursuant to this Agreement;

**WHEREAS**, the Company intends to pay Masterworks a true-up amount as set forth in the Offering Circular and intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to pay any advance made by Masterworks (without interest), if applicable and to pay the true-up, in cash or a combination of cash and Class A shares.

**WHEREAS**, the Parties desire to memorialize their agreement with respect to the forgoing and certain other matters set forth in this Agreement.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

**1. Advance.** Masterworks will advance all or any portion of the funds necessary to acquire the Artwork to the Company. If Masterworks pays or has paid a deposit or other funds to the seller prior to the acquisition of the Artwork as a prepayment of part of the purchase price, such deposit or funds shall be non-recourse to the Company prior to the acquisition of the Artwork by the Company, at the time of acquisition of the Artwork such amounts, if any, will be deemed to be an advance obligation payable by the Company to Masterworks. An advance may only be used by the Company to purchase the Artwork. The advance will be recorded on the books and records of the Company and Masterworks as an intercompany loan and will not accrue interest. The advance will be repaid in installments upon each closing of the Offering in cash and or a combination of cash and Class A shares of the Company (valued at $20 per share for such purposes). Unless the Parties otherwise agree to a different allocation, each payment that occurs in connection with a closing of the Offering shall be prorated between the true-up and the advance based on the relative size of each obligation. Under no circumstances will any portion of the advance remain as an outstanding obligation of the Company following the final closing of the Offering and the application of the use of proceeds therefrom.

**2. True-Up**. Masterworks Gallery will be entitled to receive a true-up equal to 11% of the purchase price of the Artwork. The true-up will be deemed to be earned upon the acquisition of the Artwork by the segregated portfolio of Masterworks Cayman SPC that is wholly owned by the Company, but payment will be paid in installments upon each closing of the Offering in cash and or a combination of cash and Class A shares of the Company (valued at $20 per share for such purposes). Unless the Parties otherwise agree to a different allocation, each payment that occurs in connection with a closing of the Offering shall be prorated between the true-up and the advance based on the relative size of each obligation. Under no circumstances will any portion of the true-up remain as an outstanding obligation of the Company following the final closing of the Offering and the application of the use of proceeds therefrom.

**3. License.** IO, which owns certain intellectual property rights to the name "Masterworks" hereby grants the Company effective upon the commencement of the Offering, a non-exclusive, royalty free license to use the name "Masterworks". Other than with respect to this license, the Company will have no legal right to use the "Masterworks" name. In the event that the Administrator ceases to manage the Company's operations, the Company will be required to change its name to eliminate the use of "Masterworks".

**4. Miscellaneous.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** **Captions and Headings**. The Article and Section headings throughout this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no
 way be deemed to define, limit or add to any provision of this Agreement.

**b.** **Assignability**.
 This Agreement is not assignable by either of the Parties and may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in
 writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver or termination is sought.

**c.** **Binding Effect**. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
 their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties
 and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon such heirs, executors, administrators, successors,
 legal representatives and assigns.

**d.** **Entire Agreement; Amendment**. This Agreement states the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties relating to the matters contained
 herein, superseding all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or written. No amendment of the Agreement shall be made without
 the express written consent of the Parties.

**e.** **Severability**.
 The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect any other provision hereof, which
 shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

**f.** **Governing Law; Venue**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware, without regard to the
 conflicts of laws principles thereof. To the extent of any disagreement or matter relating to this Agreement, such disagreement or
 matter shall be exclusively submitted to the federal or state courts located in the City of New York.

**g.** **Notices**.
 All notices and communications to be given or otherwise made to the Company or Masterworks shall be sent to such Party at: 225 Liberty
 Street, 29th Floor, New York, New York, 10281, Attention: General Counsel. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have

 is no error in delivery). As used in this Section, "business day" shall mean any day other than a day on which banking
 institutions in the State of Delaware are legally closed for business.

Masterworks 204, LLC

225 Liberty Street, 29th Floor,

New York, New York 10281

Re: <u>Masterworks 204, LLC Offering Statement on Form 1-A</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to Masterworks 204, LLC (the "Company") in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Regulation A offering statement on Form 1-A, as filed on January 4, 2023 (the "Offering Statement") relating to the offer by the Company of up to 33,300 of the Company's membership interests in the form of Class A ordinary shares, for a purchase price of $20.00 per share (the "Shares").

This opinion letter is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 17(12) of Form 1-A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In connection with rendering this opinion, I have examined the originals, or certified, conformed or reproduction copies, of all such records, agreements, instruments and documents as I have deemed relevant or necessary as the basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In all such examinations, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original or certified copies and the conformity to original or certified copies of all copies submitted to me as conformed or reproduction copies.

I express no opinion with regard to the applicability or effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than, as in effect on the date of this letter, (a) the internal laws of the State of Delaware and (b) the federal laws of the United States. I express no opinion as to laws of any other jurisdiction. I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the laws be changed after the effective date of the Offering Statement by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

**YOU HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO SUBSCRIBE FOR OR PURCHASE ANY SECURITIES AS A RESULT OF ACCEPTING THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.**

1. Limited
 Scope and Duration of Advisory Relationship.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) By
 scheduling a membership interview, you have indicated an interest in investing in certain securities products offered by Masterworks.io,
 LLC and its affiliates (collectively, "Masterworks") and receiving advice regarding the benefits of allocating to art
 as an asset class, as well as asset allocation and recommendations designed to help you create a diversified portfolio of securities
 issued by affiliates of Masterworks ("Masterworks Securities"). You agree that the advisory services provided by Adviser
 through Adviser's investment adviser representatives (each, a "Representative") are limited solely to advice about
 investing in the Masterworks Securities that are available for purchase at the time of your consultation with a Representative. **Adviser and its Representatives will not consider other alternative or traditional investments, even if such alternative or traditional investments may be more suitable or appropriate for you based on your client profile.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The
 advisory services provided by Adviser and its Representatives is "point in time" advice that will be fully performed
 during the course of a single telephone conversation that you may schedule with a Representative. The term of the advisory relationship
 will be limited to one telephone consultation between you and a Representative and the advisory relationship will automatically terminate
 at the conclusion of that conversation. You may contact a Representative at any time, but each such consultation will initiate a
 new investment advisory relationship governed by the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as creating
 an ongoing advisory relationship with you and neither Adviser nor its Representatives will have any obligation to monitor your investments
 on a periodic or ongoing basis. Adviser and its Representatives will have no authority to act for or to represent you or engage in
 transactions on your behalf. Further, Adviser will not hold funds or maintain an investment account on your behalf.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The
 advice provided by Adviser and its Representatives is non-discretionary. You are not obligated to purchase Masterworks Securities
 or allocate your assets based on the advice provided by the Representative. However, if you elect to invest in Masterworks Securities,
 you will purchase such Masterworks Securities directly from the applicable Masterworks issuer through the Masterworks website. You
 agree to look solely to Masterworks for any information, rights or obligations associated with investing in Masterworks Securities. **You have no payment obligations with respect to the advisory services provided by the Adviser and its Representatives.** 

2. Adviser
 Acknowledgement and Limitations. Adviser agrees to perform advisory services described under this Agreement as a fiduciary under
 the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act") with the degree of diligence, care and skill that a prudent person
 rendering similar services would exercise under similar circumstances. You agree that Adviser will only serve as a fiduciary in connection
 with the advisory services described under this Agreement, which are limited in scope and duration.

3. Risk
 Acknowledgement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The
 recommendations and advice provided by Adviser and its Representatives are based upon the professional judgment of Adviser and its
 Representatives. You understand that interests in the Masterworks Securities are a long-term and highly illiquid investment. **Interests in the Masterworks Securities are suitable only for persons who can afford to lose their entire investment and the investment could be illiquid for an indefinite period of time. No public market currently exists for interests in the Masterworks Securities.** Prior to making an investment you should carefully consider and review the information in the relevant Masterworks Offering circular
 or Private Placement Memorandum under the heading "Risk Factors".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Neither
 Adviser nor any of its Representatives can guarantee a specific level of performance or the success of any given investment decision
 or strategy that Adviser or its Representatives may recommend. The recommendations and advice provided by Adviser and its Representatives
 are limited to the universe of Masterworks Securities available for purchase at any given time.

4. Conflicts
 of Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) You
 understand that Adviser and Representatives are subject to conflicts of interest in connection with the advice that they provide.
 Representatives are employees of Masterworks and are independent contractors and supervised persons of Adviser. All advisory fees
 for the services provided by Adviser and its Representatives related to investing in Masterworks Securities are paid by Masterworks,
 and the Representatives are exclusively dedicated to advising on Masterworks Securities. Representatives receive fixed compensation
 from Masterworks and Adviser, and may also receive discretionary non-transaction-based incentive compensation from Adviser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In
 light of the exclusive nature of the arrangement between Adviser and Masterworks, coupled with the fact that all fees generated by
 Adviser to compensate its Representatives are paid by Masterworks, Adviser and its Representatives have conflicts of interest and
 lack the independence of other investment professionals who may provide more generalized investment advice. You understand that additional
 information about the compensation arrangements between Adviser, the Representatives, and Masterworks, is set forth in the section
 in the relevant Offering circular or Private Placement Memorandum, as applicable, entitled "Advisory Services".

5. Limitation
 of Liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Except
 as otherwise provided by law and so long as we act in good faith, in accordance with applicable law, and in a manner consistent with
 our fiduciary duty to you, the Adviser and its Representatives shall not be liable to you for: (i) any loss resulting from following
 your instructions or using inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information you provide; (ii) any act or failure to act by Adviser
 or its Representatives; (iii) any act or failure to act by Masterworks or any of its agents or other third-parties; or (iv) any loss
 in the value of the Masterworks Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Federal
 and state securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and nothing in this Agreement
 is intended to waive or limit our fiduciary duty or any rights you have under these laws.

6. Reliance
 on Client Information. The services provided under this Agreement rely solely upon the information that you provide to us. The quality
 and applicability of our recommendations and advice to you could be materially impacted if you provide us inaccurate information.
 We will not independently verify the information you provide to us.

7. Eligibility.
 No minimum investment is required in order to receive the advisory services, however, individual Masterworks Securities generally
 have specific eligibility requirements (including minimum investment amounts) that must be met before you can invest. Minimum investment
 amounts may be lowered or waived by Masterworks in its discretion, and may vary by investor. Eligibility requirements will be set
 forth in the relevant Masterworks Offering circular or Private Placement Memorandum, as applicable.

8. Other
 Obligations. You agree that Adviser acts as investment adviser to other clients and may give advice and take action with respect
 to any of such other clients that may differ from the advice given, or the timing or nature of action taken, with respect to you.

9. Other
 Agreements. You acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, you have received Adviser's current Form ADV [Hyperlink], Form CRS
 [Hyperlink], and privacy disclosure [Hyperlink].

10. No
 Fees Paid by You. Adviser does not charge you any advisory fees for the services provided under this Agreement. If you invest in
 Masterworks Securities, you will incur the fees and expenses that are disclosed in the relevant Offering circular or Private Placement
 Memorandum. Such fees and expenses are not charged by Adviser.
