(Plus $50,000,000 through Distribution Reinvestment Plan)
AMENDED AND RESTATED DEALER MANAGER AGREEMENT
January 13, 2023
Pacific Oak Capital Markets, LLC
3200 Park Center Drive, Suite 800
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Effective September 9, 2022, Pacific Oak Residential Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), commenced the offer and sale of up to $500 million of any combination of Class A and Class T shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares” or the “Securities”), on a “best efforts” basis (the “Primary Offering”), and up to $50 million of any combination of Shares pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP” and, together with the Primary Offering, the “Offering”), in each case, pursuant to exemptions from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company engaged Pacific Oak Capital Markets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, to act as the Company’s dealer manager (the “Dealer Manager”) in connection with the Offering through a Dealer Manager Agreement dated September 9, 2022 (the “Original Agreement”). This Agreement amends and restates the Original Agreement.
The Company has introduced an escrow arrangement and reduced purchase price for subscriptions made during the escrow period. The Company will not sell any Shares unless (1) the Company receives purchase orders for at least $5,000,000 (the “Minimum Offering”) within 180 days of the first subscription accepted into escrow and (2) the Company’s board of directors has authorized the release to the Company of funds in the escrow account prior to such date. All funds provided with purchase orders during the escrow period will be placed in an interest-bearing account with UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent. If the Company does not raise the Minimum Offering or its board of directors does not determine that it is in the Company’s best interest to cause the proceeds raised in this Offering to be released to the Company within 180 days of the first subscription accepted into escrow, the Offering will be terminated and the escrow agent will promptly send investors a full refund of their investment with interest and without deduction for escrow expenses.
The Dealer Manager anticipates entering into Selected Dealer Agreements with other broker-dealers who participate in the Offering (each participating broker-dealer being referred to herein as a “Selected Dealer”) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto. The Company shall have the right to approve any material modifications or addendums to the form of Selected Dealer Agreement.
The Share classes have different upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees, placement agent fees and organization and offering expense fees (collectively, the “private placement fees”) and different ongoing distribution fees. The purchase price per share for each class of Shares purchased in the Primary Offering will vary. During the escrow period, the purchase price per share for each class of Shares will equal 95% of the Company’s most recently disclosed NAV per share, as determined quarterly, plus applicable upfront private placement fees. After the escrow period, the purchase price per share for each class of Shares will generally equal the Company’s most recently disclosed net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as determined quarterly, plus applicable upfront private placement fees. The purchase price per share for the Shares purchased pursuant to the DRIP will be equal to the most recent NAV in effect on the purchase date.

The Dealer Manager will notify the Company in writing, prior to any offering of Securities, of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Dealer Manager Covered Person not previously disclosed to the Company in accordance with Section 2.3 of this
11
EAST\ ###-###-####.4


Agreement and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Dealer Manager Covered Person.
1.5Except for Authorized Materials, the Company has not authorized the use of any supplemental literature or other materials in connection with the Offering and the Dealer Manager agrees not to use any material that has not been authorized by the Company.

5.Obligations and Compensation of Dealer Manager.
1.1The Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as the Company’s agent and principal distributor commencing on the date hereof through the end of the Offering Period (as defined in Section 5.2 below) to solicit and to cause Selected Dealers to solicit subscriptions for the Securities at the subscription price to be paid in accordance with, and otherwise upon the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Private Placement Memorandum and the subscription agreement. The Dealer Manager hereby agrees to act as the Company’s agent and agrees to use its “best efforts” to procure subscribers for the Securities through the Selected Dealers on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
1.2The “Offering Period” shall mean that period during which any or all of the Securities may be offered for sale pursuant to the Offering, commencing on the date of the Private Placement Memorandum during which period offers and sales of the Securities shall occur continuously in the jurisdictions in which the Securities are registered or qualified or exempt from registration (as confirmed in writing by the Company to the Dealer Manager) unless and until the Offering is terminated, provided that the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealers will suspend or terminate the Offering upon request of the Company and will resume the Offering upon the subsequent request of the Company. If the Company does not raise the Minimum Offering or its board of directors does not determine that it is in the Company’s best interest to cause the proceeds raised in this Offering to be released to the Company from escrow within 180 days of the first
12
EAST\ ###-###-####.4


subscription accepted into escrow, the Offering Period will terminate. If the Minimum Offering amount is met and the proceeds are released to the Company from escrow, the Offering Period shall terminate upon the acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for $500 million of Shares in the Offering and $50 million of Shares in the DRIP. Upon termination of the Offering Period, the obligation of the Dealer Manager to act as the Company’s agent in connection with the Offering and this Agreement shall terminate without obligation on the part of the Dealer Manager or the Company except as set forth in this Agreement.
1.3Except as may be provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Private Placement Memorandum, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager selling commissions, a dealer manager fee, a placement agent fee, and ongoing distribution fees for Shares sold through the Primary Offering as described below. However, during the escrow period, Shares will be sold at a discounted price of 95% of the most recently disclosed NAV per share, as determined quarterly. Accordingly, during the escrow period, the fees described below shall be based on the same percentages described below, but calculated based on 95% of the NAV per share, rather than on the full NAV from each Share sold. In addition, for subscriptions placed during the escrow period, such fees will not be paid to the Dealer Manager unless and until the Minimum Offering is reached within 180 days of the first subscription accepted into escrow and the Company’s board of directors has authorized the release of funds in the escrow account prior to such date.

In addition, except as may be provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Private Placement Memorandum, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager a distribution fee with respect to sales of Class T Shares sold through the Primary Offering or the DRIP (the “Distribution Fee”). The Distribution Fee is equal to 0.90% per annum of the aggregate NAV of outstanding Class T Shares, consisting of a representative distribution fee of 0.60% per annum, a dealer distribution fee of 0.15% per annum, and a dealer manager distribution fee of 0.15% per annum of the aggregate NAV of outstanding Class T Shares; however, with respect to Class T Shares sold through certain participating broker-dealers, the representative distribution fee and the dealer distribution fee may be other amounts, provided that the sum of such fees will always equal 0.75% per annum of the NAV of such shares.
The Company will pay the Distribution Fee to the Dealer Manager monthly in arrears. The Dealer Manager may reallow all or a portion of the Distribution Fee to any Selected Dealers who sold the Class T Shares giving rise to a portion of such Distribution Fee to the extent the Selected Dealer Agreement with such Selected Dealer provides for such a reallowance; provided, however, that upon the date when the Selected Dealer who sold the Class T Shares giving rise to a portion of the Distribution Fee is no longer the broker-dealer of record with respect to such Class T Shares, then such Selected Dealer’s entitlement to the portion of the Distribution Fee related to such Class T Shares, as applicable, shall cease in, and such Selected Dealer shall not receive that portion of the Distribution Fee for, that month or any portion thereof (i.e., Distribution Fees are payable with respect to an entire month without any proration). Broker-dealer transfers will be made effective as of the start of the first business day of a month.
Thereafter, such portion of the Distribution Fee may be reallowed by the Dealer Manager to the then-current broker-dealer of record of the Class T Shares, as applicable, if any such broker-dealer of record has been designated (the “Servicing Dealer”) to the extent such Servicing Dealer has entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement or similar agreement with the Dealer Manager (“Servicing Agreement”) and such Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement with the Servicing Dealer provides for such reallowance. The Dealer Manager may also reallow some or all of the Distribution Fee to other broker-dealers who shall be considered additional Servicing Dealers pursuant to a Servicing Agreement with the Dealer Manager to the extent such Servicing Agreement provides for such reallowance, all in accordance with the terms of such Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dealer Manager will rebate the representative distribution fee and/or the dealer distribution fee to the Company with respect to sales of Class T Shares to the extent a Dealer or Servicing Dealer is not eligible to receive such fee, unless the Dealer Manager is serving as the broker dealer of record with respect to such Class T Shares, as applicable. No Distribution Fee is payable with respect to the Class A Shares.
The Dealer Manager shall cease receiving the Distribution Fee with respect to any Class T Share, (including fractional shares) held in a stockholder’s account at the end of the month in which the Dealer Manager, in conjunction with the transfer agent, determines that total selling commissions, dealer manager fees, placement agent fees and Distribution Fees paid with respect to the Shares held by such stockholder within such account would equal or exceed, in the aggregate, 9.0% (or a lower limit as set forth in the applicable agreement between the Dealer Manager and such Selected Dealer at the time such shares were issued) of the gross proceeds from the sale of such shares (including the gross proceeds of any Shares issued under the DRIP with respect thereto). At the end of such month, each such Class T
15
EAST\ ###-###-####.4


Share in such account (including Shares in such account purchased through the DRIP or received as a stock dividend) will convert into a number of Class A Shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such shares.
In addition, the Dealer Manager will cease receiving the Distribution Fee with respect to any Class T Shares (including fractional shares) upon the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of Class A Shares, (ii) the Company’s merger or consolidation with or into another entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity, (iii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (iv) immediately before any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
The Company shall not pay any selling commissions, dealer manager fees, placement agent fees or organization and offering expense fee in connection with the sale of Shares through the DRIP.
Each investor may agree with the investor’s registered representative or Selected Dealer to reduce or eliminate any selling commission payable with respect to the investor’s purchase of the Shares. If selling commissions are waived in any particular case, the Company will not pay any selling commissions to the Dealer Manager in respect of the Shares for which the Selected Dealer or investment representative has agreed to waive the fees, which will have the effect of reducing the per share purchase price of Shares purchased by the particular investor.
If an investor uses the services of a registered investment advisor and not a Selected Dealer in connection with the purchase of Shares, no selling commissions or dealer manager fees will be payable with respect to the investor’s purchase of those Shares, which will have the effect of reducing the per share purchase price of Shares purchased by the particular investor. Any fees or other compensation paid to the registered investment advisor will be the investor’s responsibility, not the Company’s. The net proceeds to the Company per share will not be affected by the waiver of selling commissions. The payment of any fees or similar compensation to the investment advisor will be the sole responsibility of the investor, and the Company will have no liability for that compensation.
The Company will pay any commissions or fees due hereunder solely to the Dealer Manager and it shall be the Dealer Manager’s obligation to pay any commissions or fees which it reallows to any Selected Dealer. The Company shall not be obligated and shall have no liability to pay any commissions or fees to any Selected Dealer.
5.4     Expenses incurred by the Dealer Manager under this Agreement or relating to its activities with respect to the Offering may be eligible for reimbursement pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between the Company, the Advisor, Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC, and related parties dated September 9, 2022, but only if such expenses are pre-approved by the Company.
5.5    The Dealer Manager agrees to be bound by the terms of any escrow agreement between the escrow agent and the Company, entered into in connection with this Offering and the Dealer Manager further agrees that it will not represent or imply that any such escrow agent has investigated the desirability or advisability of an investment in the Company or has approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of the Shares or of the Company, nor will the Dealer Manager use the name of said escrow agent in any manner whatsoever in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares other than by acknowledgment that it has agreed to serve as escrow agent.
6.Indemnification.
1.1Subject to the limitations below, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Selected Dealers and the Dealer Manager, their officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Selected Dealer or Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Indemnified Persons”), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (“Losses”), joint or several, to which any Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise including any state securities laws, rules or regulations, insofar as the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Private Placement Memorandum or (ii) in
16
EAST\ ###-###-####.4


any federal or state securities filing or other document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of exempting any or all of the Securities for sale from the registration requirements under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon written information furnished by the Company under the securities laws thereof (any such filing, document or information being hereinafter called a “Filing”) or (iii) in any Authorized Materials, or (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Private Placement Memorandum or in any Filing or Authorized Materials a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any Loss or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished (x) to the Company by the Dealer Manager or (y) to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of any Selected Dealer specifically for use in the Private Placement Memorandum, any Filing or any Authorized Materials, and, further, the Company will not be liable in any such case if it is determined that the applicable Selected Dealer or the Dealer Manager was at fault in connection with the Loss, expense or action.
The foregoing indemnity agreement of this Section 6.1 is subject to the further condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in the Private Placement Memorandum that was eliminated or remedied in a subsequent amendment or supplement thereto, the indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of an Indemnified Party from whom the person asserting any Losses purchased the Securities that are the subject thereof, if a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum as so amended or supplemented was not sent or given to the person at or prior to the time the subscription of the person was accepted by the Company, but only if a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum as so amended or supplemented had been supplied to the Dealer Manager or the Selected Dealer prior to acceptance.
1.2The Dealer Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Company Indemnified Persons”), from and against any Losses to which any of the Company Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Private Placement Memorandum or (ii) in any Filing or (iii) in any Authorized Materials, or (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Private Placement Memorandum or in any Filing or Authorized Materials a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that clauses (a) and (b) apply, to the extent, but only to the extent, that the untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of the Private Placement Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Filing or Authorized Materials; or (c) any use of printed materials not authorized or approved by the Company or any use of “broker-dealer use only” materials with potential investors by the Dealer Manager in the offer and sale of the Securities or any use of printed materials in a particular jurisdiction if the material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Securities in the applicable jurisdiction; or (d) any untrue statement made by the Dealer Manager or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities; or (e) any material violation of this Agreement; or (f) any failure to comply with applicable laws governing privacy issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the SEC, FINRA and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001; or (g) any
17
EAST\ ###-###-####.4


other failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Dealer Manager will reimburse each Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending the Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Dealer Manager may otherwise have under applicable law, rule or regulation.
1.3Each Selected Dealer will, and each Selected Dealer Agreement will require each Selected Dealer to, severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager, each of their officers, managers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Selected Dealer Indemnified Persons”), from and against any Losses to which a Selected Dealer Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Private Placement Memorandum or (ii) in any Filing or (iii) in any Authorized Materials, or (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Private Placement Memorandum or in any Filing or Authorized Materials a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that clauses (a) and (b) apply, to the extent, but only to the extent, that the untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of the Selected Dealer specifically for use with reference to the Selected Dealer in the preparation of the Private Placement Memorandum or in any Filing or Authorized Materials; or (c) any use of printed materials not authorized or approved by the Company or any use of “broker-dealer use only” materials with potential investors by the Selected Dealer in the offer and sale of the Securities or any use of printed materials in a particular jurisdiction if the material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Securities in the applicable jurisdiction; or (d) any untrue statement made by the Selected Dealer or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities; or (e) any material violation of this Agreement or the Selected Dealer Agreement entered into between the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer; or (f) any failure to comply with applicable laws governing privacy issues, money laundering abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts, including applicable rules of the SEC, FINRA and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001; or (g) any other failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA or federal or state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each Selected Dealer to which this section becomes applicable shall reimburse each Selected Dealer Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending the Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Selected Dealer may otherwise have under applicable law, rule or regulation.
1.4Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, the applicable indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure of an indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 6 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any indemnified party. In case any action is brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel; provided that the indemnifying party shall not be relieved of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 6.5) incurred by the indemnified party in defending itself, except for those expenses incurred
18
EAST\ ###-###-####.4


after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. No indemnifying party shall be liable to any indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of the indemnifying party. No indemnified party shall be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of the settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of the indemnified party.
1.5The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party to defend against any claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to the claims or actions notwithstanding that the actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If the claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which the action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of the indemnified parties are unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. The law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by the law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to the law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
7.Survival of Provisions.
1.1The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer or any person controlling the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company or any person controlling the Company and (b) the acceptance of any payment for any of the Securities. The agreements and obligations set forth in set forth in Sections 3.7, 4.1, 4.4, 4.7, 5.3, 6 through 10 and 12 through 13 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect upon the termination of this Agreement.
8.Applicable Law and Invalid Provision.
1.1This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland; provided, however, that causes of action for violations of federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section 8.1, but rather by the applicable federal or state securities law.
1.2The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted.
9.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be an original contract, but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
10.Successors and Assigns.
1.1This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Dealer Manager and the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Selected Dealers to the extent set forth in Sections 1, 3 and 6 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person any right, remedy or claim, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

12.Term.
1.1Any party to this Agreement shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on 60 days’ written notice or immediately upon notice to the other party in the event that the other party shall have failed to comply with any material provision hereof. If not sooner terminated, the Dealer Manager’s obligation to act as the Company’s agent and this Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the Offering Period without obligation on the part of the Dealer Manager or the Company, except as set forth in this Agreement.

13.Complaints. Each party agrees to promptly provide to the other party copies of any written or otherwise documented complaints from any investor received by the party relating in any way to the Offering (including, but not limited to, the manner in which the Securities are offered by the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer).
14.No Partnership. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to constitute the Dealer Manager as in association with or in partnership with the Company; instead, this Agreement shall only constitute the Dealer Manager as a dealer authorized by the Company to sell and to manage the sale by others of the Securities according to the terms set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum and in this Agreement.
