1. Scope of Engagement. Client hereby engages each of Arete and IndieBrokers to act as co-managers of the proposed Offering on a “Best Efforts” basis.

In addition, Client will be solely responsible for the following:

With respect to potential investors, who inquire through the Masterworks Platform, allocation of potential investors to be solicited by each Co-Manager;

The issuance of Securities directly to investors in the Offering.

2. Offering Process. In connection with the Offering, each of the Co-Managers will:

Familiarize itself to the extent it deems appropriate with the business, operations, financial condition and prospects of the Client, including the artwork to be beneficially owned by the Client and information relating to the acquisition of the artwork by Client and its affiliates;

Review to its satisfaction the final offering circular filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Rule 253(g) (the “Offering Circular”) and such other documents to be used by such Co-Manager (the “Offering Materials”) in connection with the offering of the Securities; and

Review to its satisfaction the active and planned operational practices and procedures of the Client in the conduct of the Offering and assist the Client to meet certain applicable rules and regulations promulgated by, and guidance issued by, the SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

If each of the Co-Managers is satisfied with the results of its due diligence of Client, each Co-Manager Adviser will then be authorized to:

Identify and contact possible high net-worth, ultra-high net-worth, and institutional investors, which might have an interest in receiving the Offering Materials and evaluating participation in the Offering;

Engage in conversations with potential investors that express an interest in learning more about the Offering (and similar transactions) via the Masterworks Platform and were directed to the Co-Manager by the Masterworks Platform, which is controlled by an affiliate of the Client;

Ensure to its satisfaction that suitability assessments are conducted for all potential investors with which such Co-Manager has any communications; and

Generally assist the Client in its sale of securities to those potential investors accepted by Client in the Offering.

3. Compensation.

Incentive Compensation. For the services to be rendered hereunder by each of the Co-Managers, Masterworks has agreed to compensate each of the Co-Managers with a variable sales commission and finder’s fee which, in the aggregate, will not exceed 3.0% of the total dollar amount of equity capital raised pursuant to the Offering (the “Sales Commission”).

Fixed Compensation. Each of the Co-Managers will receive certain additional fixed compensation pursuant to separate agreements with Masterworks, which is not tied specifically to this Offering or to any other specific offering, but a portion of which is deemed to be underwriting compensation for this Offering. Such additional fixed compensation in the aggregate includes $35,833 per month for ancillary support services to supervise up to fifty (50) representatives dedicated to selling only Masterworks’ offerings.

Expense Reimbursement. Masterworks has separately agreed that it will pay directly or reimburse each of the Co-Managers for all accountable expenses incurred by them, respectively, relating to the Offering, including, but not limited to, printing, road show, travel, virtual data room, legal fees incurred associated with the Offering, filing documents with FINRA (e.g. 5110 forms, filing fees, state registration fees, etc.). Such reimbursements shall be capped at 0.30% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds from the Offering.

Underwriting Compensation Determination and Cap. The maximum amounts set forth in clauses (a) and (c) above are considered underwriting compensation pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110. A portion of the amounts payable by Masterworks pursuant to clause (b) above along with any amounts paid or payable by Masterworks or Client or any of their respective affiliates to ((or benefits paid in respect of) any related person of the Co-Managers is generally deemed to be underwriting compensation. Any such amounts shall be allocated to the Offering and other related offerings in a manner deemed to be reasonable and appropriate by each of the Co-Managers, consistent with FINRA rules and regulations to determine underwriting compensation relating to the Offering. To the extent such allocation would be determined to result in maximum underwriting compensation being equal to or in excess of 10% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds, the Parties will adjust the provisions of this Agreement or the Client will adjust the terms of employment of persons affiliated with either of the Co-Managers in such manner as is reasonable and necessary to ensure that aggregate underwriting compensation does not equal or exceed 10% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds. The total amount of all items of compensation from any source payable to underwriters, broker-dealers, or affiliates thereof will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the gross proceeds of the offering.

Timing of Payments. All of the forgoing costs and fees referenced in this Section 3 shall become due and payable by Masterworks, and not by Client, contemporaneously with (or promptly following) the closing of the Offering. Accordingly, all of the capital raised in the Offering will be applied to the purpose of the Client as set forth in the Offering Circular.

Information. Client shall provide the Co-Managers with such data and information (in reasonable detail) from time to time as either Co-Manager may reasonably request to calculate and verify payments made and required to be made under Paragraph (3) by Masterworks.
