THIS ART PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Purchase Agreement”) is made and entered into this 2nd day of July, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between [***] an individual with an address at [***] (“Seller”), and Masterworks Gallery, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with an address at 1 World Trade Center, 57th floor, New York, New York 10007 (“Agent”). Seller is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the work of art described above (the “Work”), and has the authority to sell the Work. Agent is acting as agent on behalf of the Gallery Segregated Portfolio of Masterworks Cayman, SPC (“Buyer”), and has the exclusive authority to buy the Work on behalf of Buyer. Seller has agreed to sell the Work to Buyer, and Agent, on behalf of Buyer, has agreed to buy the Work from Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Purchase Agreement. In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Purchase Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. SALE. Seller agrees to sell the Work to Buyer, and Agent on behalf of Buyer agrees to buy the Work from Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding any material provision in this Purchase Agreement, Seller authorizes Ivorian-Jones Fine Art LLC (the “Intermediary”) to make any and all logistical decisions regarding the Artwork that do not involve the rights or responsibilities of the parties.

 

2. PURCHASE PRICE AND MANNER OF PAYMENT.

 

2.1 The purchase price for the Work is Three Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (USD $300,000) (the “Purchase Price”). For the purposes of this Purchase Agreement, the “Closing Date” shall mean the date upon which Agent or Buyer pays the full Purchase Price to the Seller and the “Closing” shall mean the time such payment is remitted by Buyer and title to the Work is vested in Buyer. The full Purchase Price shall be paid no later than sixty (60) calendar days from the Effective Date.

 

2.2 The obligation to pay the Purchase Price is expressly conditioned on Buyer’s ability to inspect the Work on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5 of this Purchase Agreement. Agent or Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to Seller by wire transfer in accordance with the wire instructions listed in the invoice, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, which shall be verbally confirmed by a designated representative on behalf of Buyer and a designated representative on behalf of Seller prior to payment to Seller.

 

2.3. If the Purchase Price is not received in full, cleared funds by the Seller within sixty (60) calendar days from the Effective Date, Seller has the right (but not the obligation) to cancel the sale of the Work upon written notice by the Seller or the Intermediary to the Agent (email notice to [***] being sufficient), provided that Agent shall have five (5) business days following receipt of such written notice to cure such non-payment in full before the sale cancellation goes into effect. In the event the Seller elects to cancel the sale of the Work pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.3, the Agent and Buyer shall: (i) no longer have any right to purchase the Work or any other claims to or interests in the Work; and (ii) be deemed to have irrevocably released the Seller from any and all liability or claims for monies paid by the Agent or Buyer or specific performance under this Purchase Agreement; and (iii) have no further obligation to pay any commissions or fees in connection with the acquisition of the Work, including without limitation the Introductory Commission. In the event of such cancellation, Seller shall also be deemed to have irrevocably released Agent and Buyer from any and all obligations relating to the acquisition of the Work.
