Forwarded message From: Eileen Alexanderson Date: Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 10:31 PM Subject: Fwd: acquisition structure To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Email below summarizes proposed ownership structure. However, Phaidon CEO was not pleased. He feels it is very important that ArtSpace is owned by Phaidon and it's people are employed by Phaidon.

(This is similar structure to Phaidon Global LLC owning Phaidon LLC). Point is that this intermediary LLC is an entity that Keith can use to control/manage Artspace. We can also keep money here in a bank account that is then used to fund Artspace operations. We would not need to put money into Artspace LLC until needed. Otherwise, we would need to EFTA00994586 use Artspace's existing bank accounts and get involved in their banking issues. To sum, the only entity that would have a bank account is US LLC #2. All disregarded entities. Structure post acquisition would then look like this: Trust US LLC #1 Foreign Corp US LLC #2 Artspace Make sense? If so, we will need two rather than one LLCs formed today: AS LLC and AS Acquisition LLC. AS LLC should have Keith Fox as the Managing Member. I would think this LLC would sign the LOI. please note The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
