The Executive shall have the right to exercise any such Options in a manner provided for in the applicable Award Agreement.

Vesting Any Class A preferred shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to cliff vesting on December 31, 2025 (the “Initial Vesting Date”), and in the event vesting occurs on the Initial Vesting Date, a new cliff vesting period shall apply to all Class A shares issuable to Masterworks from and after such Initial Vesting Date until the three-year anniversary of such Initial Vesting Date and all of such Class A preferred shares will vest on such three-year anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date and such process will be repeated in successive three-year periods (each such vesting date, together with the Initial Vesting Date, a “Vesting Date”). Any vesting period may be extended for a five-year period or shortened in accordance with this Section 6, provided, that any applicable Vesting Date shall be accelerated upon an Approved Sale to the date any such Approved Sale is consummated, except in the case that such sale is not approved by the Special Committee. At any time prior to the 12-month anniversary of the applicable Vesting Date, the Parties can mutually agree in writing to extend the Vesting Date for one or more additional five-year periods, or agree at any time to accelerate the Vesting Date to an earlier date, provided that any agreement to accelerate the Vesting Date to an earlier date (other than in connection with a sale of the Artwork) shall be ineffective unless and until the Company obtains the consent of holders of a majority of the Class A shares eligible to vote on such matter. Any Class A shares beneficially owned by the Administrator and its affiliates shall not be eligible to vote on such matter. The unvested Class A preferred shares issued or issuable hereunder shall be forfeited if this Agreement is terminated prior to the applicable Vesting Date or if the Special Committee does not approve a sale of the Artwork. The Administrator may also, in its sole discretion, reduce unearned management fees or voluntarily forfeit any unvested management fees, in whole or in part. Any Class A preferred shares that are forfeited shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall have no rights to distributions. All of the Class A preferred shares issued pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Effective Date shall be fully vested upon issuance and shall not be subject to the vesting provisions set forth in this Section 6. The holders of the Company’s Class A shares may remove and replace the Administrator with another person or entity by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Class A shares eligible to vote, such removal to take effect on the date any such successor administrator has been appointed (the “Removal Effective Date”).
