Related to Compensation and Agreements

• Compensation and Indemnity The Company, Holdings and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company, Holdings and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Company, Holdings and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Offer has received notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company, Holdings and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The obligations of the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge and the termination of this Indenture. To secure the Company’s, Holdings’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge and the termination of this Indenture. In addition, and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

• Compensation and Expenses; Covenant (a) In return for the Services, the Administrator shall earn administration fees and expense reimbursements in the form of Class A shares of the Issuer equal to 1.5% of the total Class A shares outstanding or for which subscriptions have been received, 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 closing date, the Offering is fully subscribed and at least 95% of the subscription proceeds have been received by the Company.

(c) In addition to the Class A 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 Painting is sold. (d) Masterworks may determine to sell the Painting without engaging a third-party intermediary, in which event, the Administrator would charge the buyer of the Painting a reasonable fee not to exceed the lowest published buyer’s premium charged by Sotheby’s, Christie’s or Pxxxxxxx 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 Painting until the sale of the Painting.
