• Voting (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. (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. (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. (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: (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; (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 (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; (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 (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. (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.
