2. Adviser Acknowledgement and Limitations.

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”.

Representatives receive fixed compensation from Masterworks and Adviser, and may also receive discretionary non-transaction-based incentive compensation from Adviser.

(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”.
