and the VRB 2011 TRUST transferred their interests in the Art to the LLC as a
contribution to the capital of the LLC; and
WHEREAS, LEON BLACK (the "Lessee") wishes to lease the An from the
LLC; and
WHEREAS, the LLC has determined it advisable to lease the Art to the Lessee;
and
WHEREAS, the Lessee and the LLC (separately referred to as a "Party" and
collectively referred to as the "Parties") would like to formalize the terms under which
the LLC leases the Art to the Lessee; and
WHEREAS, the Lessee acknowledges that all of the Art is currently in his
possession and is in good condition.
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. PERIOD OF LEASE. The period of the lease shall begin on August 19, 2011
and shall end upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date of Lessee's death and (ii)
the termination date described in paragraph 5.
2. INSURANCE.
a. The Lessee agrees to reimburse the LLC for all risk wall-to-wall fine arts
insurance coverage for the safekeeping and preservation of the Art, such
Art to be insured for the value stated on Schedule A attached hereto (the
"Insurance Value"). The LLC agrees that the insurance coverage it has
obtained for the Insurance Value of the Art is the stated value for each
item of the Art and all claims, whether for full or partial damage, will be
based on the Insurance Value. If the Lessee so requires, the LLC agrees
to provide the Lessee with a Certificate of Insurance evidencing such
insurance coverage. Any other statement by the Lessee to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Lessee hereby specifically agrees to accept absolute
responsibility for the Art wall-to-wall at the Insurance Value and to
accept responsibility and liability for any deficiencies or exclusions in
insurance coverage. The Lessee agrees to use reasonable efforts as
required to enable the LLC to submit and pursue a claim for insurance

coverage. In the case of partial loss or damage to any item of the Art, the
LLC and the Lessee shall agree upon the reasonable cost of repair to such
Art and the amount of any reduction in the fair market value and fair
market rental value of such item of the Art after repair, or in the absence
of agreement, these amounts will be determined by an appraiser selected
by the Parties as provided in paragraph 4.a. The Lessee shall pay all
costs in connection with the appraiser's evaluation.
b. From time to time, the Parties shall review the insurance
coverage of the Art and determine whether to increase such
insurance coverage.
3. CARE AND PRESERVATION.
a. The Lessee will give the Art the same care he gives comparable property
of his own. Precautions will be taken to protect the Art from fire, theft,
mishandling, dirt, and insects, and from extremes of light, temperature,
and humidity while in Lessee's custody. It is understood by the Parties
that all tangible objects are subject to gradual inherent deterioration for
which neither Party is responsible.
b. Evidence of damage at the time of receipt or while in the Lessee's
custody will be reported immediately to the LLC.
c. The LLC will be requested to provide written authorization for any
alteration, restoration, or repair. The Lessee, for his own purposes, may
examine objects by all modem scientific methods.
4. PAYMENT OF RENT. During the term of the lease, the Lessee shall pay the
LLC the fair market rental value of the Art on December 31 of each year. The
rental payment for any partial year shall be prorated. The fair market rental value
of the Art shall be determined as follows:
a. The fair market value of the Art shall be determined annually on or about
November 30 of such year by a qualified appraiser selected by the Parties
in accordance with the principles of section 2512 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the valuation principles set
forth in section 25.2512 of the treasury regulations promulgated under the
Code (the "Regulations"). The fair market value of the Art as determined
by such qualified appraiser in any particular year shall be referred to as
the "Annual Appraisal Value."

EFTA01108915
b. All expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing appraisals shall be
paid by the Lessee.
c. The fair market rental value of the Art in any particular year shall be
equal to the Annual Appraisal Value multiplied by the published Federal
interest rate applicable to demand notes for the month during which such
payment is being made.
d. The Lessee's obligation to pay to the LLC the fair market rental value of
the Art shall commence on August 19, 2011 and in each subsequent
calendar year shall commence on the first date of such calendar year.
Interest shall accrue on any unpaid rent owed by Lessee to the LLC at the
applicable federal rate prescribed under section 1274(d) of the Code for
the month in which Lessee's obligation to pay to the LLC the fair market
rental value of the Art commences.
5. TERMINATION AND RETURN OF ART. This Agreement shall terminate five
(5) business days after written notice of one Party of his or its desire to terminate
has been delivered to the other Party. After such termination neither Party shall
have any further obligation to the other, except as specifically provided in this
paragraph. The Lessee shall return all of the Art to the LLC within ten (10)
business days at his expense to such address as the LLC shall direct in a written
notice delivered to the Lessee. The provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3, relating to
insurance and liability for damage to the Art, and the provisions of paragraph 4
relating to the payment of rent for any prorated year, shall survive the termination
of the Agreement.
6. NOTICES. Any notice required herein shall be deemed to have been delivered to
a Party at such time as it is actually received by such Party. Notices shall be
delivered to a Party at the address set forth below, unless such Party provides
another address to the other Party for purposes of delivering notices.

Leon Black Art Lease Agreement
Instrument Transmitting Payment of Rent
WHEREAS, as of December 31, 2011, an agreement (the "Art Lease
Agreement") was entered into by and between LAB 2011 LLC (the "LLC") and Leon D.
Black, in his individual capacity (the "Lessee"); and
WHEREAS, the LLC received the items of art listed on the attached Schedule A
(the "Art") on August 19, 2011, and has owned the Art since that time; and
WHEREAS, since August 19, 2011, the LLC has leased all of the Art to the
Lessee and the Lessee has accepted such lease; and
WHEREAS, the LLC and the Lessee entered into the Art Lease Agreement to
formalize the terms under which the LLC has leased the Art to the Lessee; and
WHEREAS, section 4 of the Art Lease Agreement provides that the Lessee shall
be required to make an annual payment to the LLC in exchange for the Lease of the Art.
Such payment shall be made on December 31g of each calendar year; and
WHEREAS, the amount of such annual payment shall be equal to the product of
(1) the fair market value of the Art as of November 30th of the year with respect to which
the payment is being made and (2) the published Federal interest rate applicable to
demand notes for the month during which such payment is being made; and
WHEREAS, the parties have calculated that the rent owed by Lessee for the entire
calendar year• 2011 based on the formula set forth in section 4 of the Art Lease
Agreement is $93,500; and
WHEREAS, because the parties to whom the Lessee owes such rent for the period
of time in calendar year 2011 prior to August 19th, are no longer in existence and have
transferred all of their assets to the LLC, the parties believe that it is appropriate for the
Lessee to pay the LLC the full $93,500 in rent for calendar year 2011 even though the
LLC did not hold the Art until August 19th, 2011; and
NOW, THEREFORE, (1) the Lessee hereby transfers to the LLC the sum of
$93,500 in full satisfaction of his payment obligation under section 4 of the Art Lease
Agreement for 2011 and (2) the LLC acknowledges payment of such sum in full
satisfaction of such obligation for 2011.
