Executive Summary PARTNERS IAA:
■ BACKGROUND. MSP Film Fund LLC (the "Fund") and Universal Pictures ("Universal") have signed a co-
financing and distribution agreement ("MSP-Universal Agreement") pursuant to which the Fund will co-
finance the production cost and the theatrical distribution expenses of all of Universal' s movies over the
next 5 years - some projected 100 movies being released world-wide and in all media. With the MSP-
Universal Agreement in place, the Fund and Universal became partners on the financing, ownership and the
sharing of all revenues on all the movies of Universal, a leading US and international major motion picture
studio, for the next 5 years.
■ THE FINANCING. Fund is raising US $275 Million in Equity Interests ("Equity Investments") and arranging a
$250 Million Senior Loan Facility with Union Bank Mitsubishi (the "Credit Facility"). Fund will finance 25% of
the production costs and worldwide theatrical distribution expenses and Universal will finance 75% of the
production costs and worldwide theatrical distribution expenses for each and all the movies being financed,
produced or acquired and distributed world-wide and in all principal media by Universal for the next 5 years
(the "Participation Percentages").
■ CREDIT FACILITY. Credit Facility makes it possible for the Fund to effectively reinvest revenues from
movies already in release into additional movies and, with a relatively small amount of initial Equity capital
of $275 million, provide approximately $2.5 billion for 25% of Universal's production costs and theatrical
distribution expenses of an estimated 100 movies creating significant leverage and helping to achieve
projected high investor returns. Fund, not the Equity Investors, will borrow the money on a revolving basis.
Union Bank Mitsubishi, which provides these facilities on a routine basis, provides the loans against incoming
revenues of the movies already in release based on a percentage of Universal' s official estimates of the
performance of each movie in release called "Ultimates" (which are provided by Universal on a regular basis.

Executive Summary PARTNERS LLC
The Fund has already received the proposal from Union Bank for the Credit Facility. Closing the Credit
Facility requires the Equity Investments be received and in the escrow account at Union Bank. Equity
Investors are not the borrowers and have no liability under the Credit Facility. Further, Equity Investors
cannot be called for additional funds beyond their initial Equity Investment.
■ MANAGING MEMBER. Major Studio Partners LLC ("MSP") is the Managing Member of the Fund. MSP and its
predecessor companies are responsible for organizing some $3 billion going to the US major motion picture
studios for the production and world-wide distribution of their feature films, including WARNER BROS.,
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX, SONY PICTURES, COLUMBIA PICTURES, and for such films as SUPERMAN 2, THE
CHINA SYNDROME, GORKY PARK, THE TURNING POINT, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, X-MAN 3, WALK THE LINE,
SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE and AVATAR.
■ PARTNERSHIP WITH UNIVERSAL. MSP negotiated terms into the MSP-Universal Agreement whereby the
ownership interest and the sharing of revenues on each Picture is based on the Participation Percentages of
the financing which MSP and Universal each provides for a Picture, which percentages remain the same for
each of the estimated 100 Pictures over 5 years. As a result of this same pro-rata alignment between the
Fund and Universal on all of the Pictures, the Fund and Universal will have very close to the same Return On
Investment over the five year period. Universal has just celebrated its 100th Anniversary as a major motion
picture studio with its best year at the worldwide box office with global theatrical grosses exceeding $2.927
billion. Universal's success has not been the result of a single franchise film but, rather, a portfolio of diverse
films.

Executive Summary PARTNERS LLC
■ FINANCING ORDER ON EACH MOVIE. To avoid the risk of investing in a movie not being completed or
distributed and to maximize the use of the Fund's capital by not tying up funds during long production
periods or initially in the expenditure of theatrical distribution expenses, the co-financing of each movie
takes place in the following order; (i) Universal finances 100% of the production or acquisition costs and
produces or acquires the Picture, (ii) Universal finances 100% of the theatrical distribution expenses for
release of the Picture, (iii) Fund, thirty days before the theatrical release of the movie, provides its 25% of
Universal's production cost and purchases its 25% ownership and economic interest in the movie and, (iv)
Fund, six months after the initial theatrical release, to the extent, and in the unlikely event Universal has
not recouped 100% of the theatrical distribution expenses, Fund provides 25% of any shortfall. Fund,
therefore, does not have the risk of an investment in a movie that is not completed and distributed and
maximizes the use of its capital.
■ REVENUES. Fund will receive 25% of all revenues and Universal will receive 75% of all revenues, world-wide
and in all media (theatrical, home entertainment/DVD, television, internet, merchandising, music
soundtrack, video games, book publishing after a 10% Distribution Fee to Universal. Universal is
reimbursed for only out of pocket distribution expenses directly related to each Picture and not co-financed
by the Fund that occur after the release of each Picture; e.g. mainly DVD manufacturing costs, talent
participations and trade guild residuals.
■ BUYBACK BY UNIVERSAL. Universal is "required" to repurchase the Fund's economic and ownership
interests. Within thirty (30) days that is five (5) years from the release date of the last Picture in each of
successive calendar years, Fund will sell its interests beginning in the first quarter of 2018. MSP has

negotiated a "Put Option Price" into the Closing Agreement with Universal "as a floor" in he negotiations
which formula closely approximates the formula used in MSP' s Financial Model. The sale discounts future
long term revenues and increases Investor returns.
■ DISTRIBUTIONS INCLUDING DIVIDENDS.
First, Fund will pay 11.5% annual cash dividends to the Equity Investors beginning 12 months from the
Closing to provide for early cash flows and a high yield.
Second, 100% of all Fund distributions to the Equity Investors until such time as they receive an
aggregate amount of 150% of their capital commitments. Distributions should increase when more
movies are providing revenues later in the Term and again when the Fund begins selling back the
movies to Universal.
Third, after the Equity Investors have received 150% of their commitments, 80% of all Fund
distributions will be made to the Equity Investors and 20% will be made to the Managing Member.
■ MSP PROJECTION. MSP projects a cash return for Investors approaching 400% and an IRR of approximately
30%, which includes the Annual Cash Dividends of 11.5% (MSP recently negotiated and organized a very
similar film slate financing with Twentieth Century Fox ("Fox") which provided $325 million to co-finance
an initial 28 movies. Investors in the Fox deal have received an estimated 400% to 500% cash return on their
investment plus, through reinvestment of revenues, are participating in over 140 movies and climbing.) The
terms of the Universal financing are superior to the terms of the Fox financing, MSP having negotiated both.

Executive Summary PARTNERS IAA:
■ TRANSPARENCY. Investors will be provided with complete transparency: (i) Universal will provide Fund with
monthly distribution reports for each Picture during the early years of each release, then continuing reports
until its buyback by Universal, and periodic Ultimates (written Universal estimates of projected total
ultimate revenues, costs and profits of each Picture); (ii) Fund will audit the reports provided by Universal
on each Picture, and (iii) Fund has engaged an independent CPA firm with a major practice in film accounting
and film finance to oversee the bank accounts of the Fund, maintain books and records, conduct audits and
provide Investors with copies of Distribution Reports, Ultimates, Audits and access to the books and records
of the Fund.
■ STUDIO ACCOUNTING. Studio accounting reports to investors are based on the terms of the deal and are
usually very close to being very accurate. MSP, our accountants and auditors expect to see any errors through
continuous review and audits of each of the movies. When films do well but investors do badly, it is generally
due to the terms of the transaction, not the accounting reports. The MSP-Universal terms are very simple,
clean and the same pro-rata sharing of financing, ownership and revenues between the Fund and Universal
on each and all of the estimated 100 films. Basically, the transaction is very easy to account for and
monitor.
■ OVERSUBSCRIPTIONS. Upon raising $275 million of Equity Interests and closing with Universal, and with the
already expressed interest of Universal, the Fund intends to raise an additional $275 million of Equity
Interests based on the following; (i) Fund will increase the Fund's Participation Percentage to 50% of each
Picture so there is no dilution of ownership and economic interests, (ii) a pro-rata increase in the Credit
Facility will be obtained, (iii) Universal will fund the reciprocal 50%, making the Equity Investors, through
the Fund, 50-50 partners with Universal, and (iv) all other terms of the deal are the same as in the original
deal.

Risk Factors PARTNERS LLC
Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other factors, the matters described below, each of which could have on adverse effect
on the value of their investment. As a result of these factors, as well as other risks inherent in any investment or as set forth elsewhere herein,
there can be no assurance the Fund will meet its investment objectives or otherwise be able to successfully carry out its investment program.
MARKET RISK. The Fund is being formed to finance and acquire interests in a large number of motion pictures, in association with a US major
motion picture studio, and over an extended period of four to five years. Accordingly, the motion picture investments will be subject to certain of
the risks incident to the production, distribution and ownership of motion pictures including risks associated with changes in the general
economic climate, changes in the overall motion picture industry, the financial condition of Universal Pictures and its parent, NBC Universal and
its of principal owners, Comcast Corporation (51%) and General Electric Corporation (49%), the supply and demand of competing motion pictures,
technological innovations that makes content more accessible to global audiences but is causing a worldwide decline in DVD sales as consumers
shift from physical to electronic formats, changes in interest rates and in the costs and terms of the financing as stated, ability of Universal to
continue to organize and complete quality and entertaining major feature films, dealing with labor unions and any disruptive effect of a strike,
the rising cost of producing and releasing movies, considerable piracy in Southeast Asia and the former Soviet Union, changes in tax, intellectual
property and other laws and regulations, copyright laws, acts of God (including earthquakes), and various uninsured and uninsurable risks and
government rules, regulations or fiscal policies and other factors beyond the control of the Fund. Any decline in the international, national,
regional or local motion picture markets might forestall profits and also might conceivably result in considerable losses.
COMPETITION. There exists substantial and increasing competition in the filmed entertainment industry from alternative providers of similar
types of content, as well as from other forms of entertainment and recreational activities. The filmed entertainment business competes with
other film studios and independent producers for talent, sources of financing for the production of its films, for the exhibition of its films in
theaters and for shelf space in retail stores for its DVDs and also competes for consumers with other film producers and distributors and all other
forms of entertainment inside and outside the home. There can be no assurance that Universal and the Fund will be able to compete effectively
in the future against existing or new competitors and that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the financial returns of the
Fund.

MAJOR STUlliO
Risk Factors Continued PARTNERS LLC
LEVERAGE & LIQUIDITY. Fund intends to leverage its investments by means of reinvesting proceeds derived from the distribution of the motion
pictures and the use of debt financing determined by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion. Although the use of leverage may
enhance returns and increase the number of investments that can be made, it may also substantially increase the risk of losses. Additionally, if
there are insufficient funds to finance all the intended movies or insufficient cash flow to meet principal and interest payments on the
indebtedness, the value of any equity portion of the Fund's investments may be significantly reduced.
RELIANCE ON INITIAL PICTURES. The proposed agreement with Universal requires the Fund to contribute its 25% share of all Production, Print
Advertising, and other operating costs for each Picture 30 days prior to the initial theatrical release of each Picture. The Fund expects to recoup
these costs and earn a positive cash on cash return as each Picture is released and generates revenues from the various distribution channels
(theater, home entertainment, TV, internet, etc.). While the equity raise and availability under the revolving credit facility will provide the
capital required to fund the costs of an initial number of Pictures, the Fund' s ability to continue contributing its share of Picture costs over the 5
year and 100 Picture projected slate, is dependent on the initial 10 to 20 Pictures collectively not to incur very significant losses.
PORTION OF THE INVESTMENT MAY BE ILLIQUID FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS INCLUDING SOME RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS. Fund
intends to pay 11.5% annual dividends representing over 57.5% of the Equity Interests investment plus cash payments from the sale of Pictures to
Universal. Nevertheless, the Fund will reinvest proceeds from the motion pictures into additional motion pictures over a period of five years
making a portion of the investment possibly remaining illiquid. Transfer of Interests is subject to certain restrictions as contained in the LLC
Agreement.
AUDIENCE APPEAL. Fund' s business is to finance the creation of entertainment content, the success of which depends substantially on consumer
tastes and preferences that can change in often unpredictable ways. The success of the Fund will depend on Universal Pictures' ability to
consistently create, acquire, market and distribute filmed entertainment that meets the changing preferences of the broad domestic and
international consumer market. The ultimate profitability of any motion picture depends upon its audience appeal in relation to the cost of its
production and distribution. The audience appeal of a given motion picture cannot be anticipated with any degree of certainty prior to its actual
release.
