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.
(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.

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.

(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.
(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.
