Black Re: Suggested Art Purchases This is to memorialize my advice to you in September 2014 that as Trustees of the Discretionary Trust under the APOI Agreement (the "Trust") you consider purchasing several works by the artist Peter Sacks that were then available for purchase from Robert Miller Gallery, namely: 1. AF7'ERATH (MANDALA) [SAC-0023] 2. ULYSSES 1, 2013 [SACK-0044] 3. ULYSSES 2, 2013 [SACK-0037] 4. ULYSSES 3, 2013 [SACK-0038] 5. ULYSSES 4, 2013 [SACK-0043] 6. ULYSSES .5, 2013 [SACK-0036] 7. ULYSSES 6, 2013 [SACK-0035] 8. ULYSSES 8, 2013 [SACK-0042] 9. ULYSSES 9, 2013 [SACK-0045] 10. ULYSSES 10, 2013 [SACK-0046] 11. ULYSSES 11, 2013 [SACK-0040] 12. ULYSSES 12, 2013 [SACK-0039] Peter Sacks is a living artist whose works are represented in private and public collections internationally, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Accordingly, it was my opinion the above works would be worthwhile additions to the Trust's portfolio. In addition, I advised that you consider purchasing the referenced works as the Trust owned only one work of Contemporary Art at the time, that being Ed Ruscha's Egg. Therefore, the referenced works by Peter Sacks would help to diversify the Trust's fine art portfolio.

The terms of the APOI Agreement (the "Agreement") and the beneficiaries of the Trust. 2. The Trustees' decision to invest a portion of the Trust's assets in fine art. 3. The attached memorandum by Leon D. Black that the works of art by Peter Sacks listed on the attached invoice dated September 9, 2014 from Robert Miller Gallery (the "Works") would be a good addition to the Trust's existing fine art portfolio. 4. That Mr. Black is one of the world's leading art collectors who possesses extensive knowledge of the art market and unparalleled access to top art dealers and galleries that often present Mr. Black with unique opportunities for purchasing fine art.
