Letter Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2023, by and between Brookfield Corporate Treasury Ltd. and Oaktree Capital Group, LLC

RE:    Brookfield Real Estate Income Trust Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) is being entered into in connection with the contribution by Brookfield Corporate Treasury Ltd. (“Treasury”) of an amount (the “Contribution”) to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (“OCG”) in respect of OCG’s indirect acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 100% of the interests in BUSI II GP-C LLC (“II GP-C”), BUSI II-C L.P. (“II-C”), BUSI II SLP-GP LLC (“II SLP-GP”) and Brookfield REIT OP Special Limited Partner L.P. (collectively, and, together with any additional entities that may become direct or indirect subsidiaries of NTR (as defined below) and that beneficially own shares of the REIT (as defined below), the “REIT Entities”), which such REIT Entities are the owners of the Class I and Class E Common Shares of Brookfield Real Estate Income Trust Inc. (the “REIT”). In consideration of the Contribution and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, OCG does hereby agree with Treasury as follows (capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Sixth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of OCG, dated as of March 20, 2023 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified the “Operating Agreement”)):

        WHEREAS, Treasury is the sole holder of the Class A Units of OCG;

        WHEREAS, OCG has formed, prior to the date hereof, OCG NTR Holdings, LLC (“NTR”); and

        WHEREAS, OCG shall cause NTR to acquire the REIT Entities with the proceeds from the Contribution made by Treasury.

1.Capital Contributions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Operating Agreement to the contrary, OCG hereby agrees that Treasury shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make up to $200,000,000 of additional Capital Contributions to OCG to be utilized in connection with OCG’s indirect ownership of the REIT or any other matters with respect to the operations of NTR and the REIT Entities, and no vote, approval or other authorization will be required in connection with such additional Capital Contributions. To the extent Treasury determines such additional Capital Contributions should be contributed to NTR, Treasury shall notify OCG at least three (3) Business Days in advance and OCG shall cause such amounts to be contributed to NTR as soon as practicable after receipt thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any such additional Capital Contributions made from Treasury to OCG, as described above, will not require the issuance of any new Class A Units of OCG.

2.Notice. OCG hereby agrees to notify Treasury in the event it becomes aware that any series of Units (as defined in the Operating Agreement) may be delisted from, or that trading of any series of Units may be suspended in, the New York Stock Exchange (a “Delisting Event”). OCG shall provide such notice as soon as reasonably practicable, and, in any event, no less than ninety (90) days prior to any voluntary Delisting Event.
