(the “Prior Escrow Agreement”). 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company proposes to offer and sell shares of common stock (the “Shares”), on a best-efforts basis, for
at least $2.5 million and up to $2.0 billion of gross offering proceeds (excluding the shares of its common stock to be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan), at an initial purchase price of $10.00 per share
(the “Offering”) to investors pursuant to the Company’s Registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-161449), as amended from time to time (the “Offering Document”). 
 WHEREAS, the Dealer Manager will be engaged by the Company to offer and sell the Shares on a best efforts basis through a network of
participating broker-dealers (the “Dealers”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company has agreed that the subscription
price paid by subscribers for shares will be refunded to such subscribers if at least $2.5 million of gross offering proceeds from persons who are not affiliated with the Company, KBS Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) or Legacy
Partners Residential Realty LLC (such amount, the “Minimum Offering”) has not been raised within one year from the date the Offering Document becomes effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Closing
Date”). 
 WHEREAS, the Dealer Manager and the Company desire to establish an escrow account (the
“Escrow Account”) as further described herein in which funds received from subscribers will, except as otherwise specified herein, be deposited and the Company desires that the Escrow Agent act as escrow agent to the Escrow Account
and Escrow Agent is willing to act in such capacity. 
 WHEREAS, deposits received from residents of the State of
Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Subscribers”) and deposits received from residents of the State of Tennessee (the “Tennessee Subscribers”) will remain in the Escrow Account until the conditions of Sections 3 and 4,
respectively have been met. 
 WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has engaged DST Systems (the “Processing
Agent”), to examine for “good order” subscriptions and to act as record keeper, maintaining on behalf of the Escrow Agent the ownership records for the Escrow Account. In so acting Processing Agent shall be acting solely in the
capacity of agent for the Escrow Agent and not in any capacity on behalf of the Company or the Dealer Manager. 







 WHEREAS, in order to subscribe for Shares during the Escrow Period (as defined
below), a subscriber must deliver the full amount of the purchase price for the Shares: (i) by check made payable to the order of UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc., in U.S. dollars or (ii) by
draft or wire transfer of immediately available funds or Automated ClearingHouse (ACH) in U.S. dollars, made payable as provided in Section 12(2) (collectively, the “Payment Instruments”). 
 WHEREAS, prior to the date hereto, the Dealer Manager, the Company and the Escrow Agent executed the Prior Escrow Agreement.

 WHEREAS, the Dealer Manager, the Company and the Escrow Agent wish to amend and restate the Prior Escrow Agreement in
its entirety as set forth below. 
 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Dealer Manager, the Company and Escrow Agent agree to the terms of this Agreement as follows: 
 1. Establishment of Escrow Account; Escrow Period. On or prior to the commencement of the offering of Shares pursuant to the Offering Document, the
Company shall establish the Escrow Account with the Escrow Agent, which shall be entitled “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc.” This Agreement shall be effective on the date on which the Offering
Document becomes effective. Except as otherwise set forth herein for the Pennsylvania Subscribers and the Tennessee Subscribers, the “Escrow Period” shall commence upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and shall continue until
the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Escrow Agent receives confirmation from the Company and the Dealer Manager that the Company has raised the Minimum Offering, (ii) the Closing Date, or (iii) the termination of the Offering by
the Company prior to the receipt of the Minimum Offering. 
 2. Operation of the Escrow. 
 (a) Deposits in the Escrow Account. During the Escrow Period, persons subscribing to purchase Shares will be instructed by the
Company, the Dealer Manager and the Dealers to make Payment Instruments for subscriptions payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc.” Completed subscription agreements and Payment
Instruments for the purchase price shall be remitted directly to the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 12(2). The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to maintain the funds contributed by the Pennsylvania Subscribers and the Tennessee Subscribers, in a
manner in which they may be separately accounted for by the records of the Processing Agent so that the requirements of Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement can be met. Deposits shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in
accordance with this Section 2. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, upon receipt of the Payment Instruments, Escrow Agent shall fax or scan a listing of the subscriber name and purchase price to Processing Agent,
together with all other subscription documents sent with the Payment Instruments. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of its affiliates. If
any of the Payment Instruments are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to receipt of the Break Escrow Affidavit (as described below), the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Processing Agent and the Company in writing via mail,
email or facsimile of such

  

 - 2 - 








 
nonpayment, and the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account, as applicable in the amount of such returned payment and the Processing Agent shall delete the appropriate account from
the records maintained by the Processing Agent. Within 30 days from the date of receipt of each subscription, the Company will determine whether or not the subscription is to be accepted or rejected in whole or in part. Within 10 business days of
receipt by the Escrow Agent of written notice from the Company, or as soon thereafter as practicable, that a subscription has been rejected, the Escrow Agent shall transfer by check the funds and all interest, if any, earned thereon, of any
subscribers whose subscription has been rejected since the commencement of the Offering. The Processing Agent will maintain a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among other things, the following information: (i) the
subscriber’s name and address, (ii) the subscriber’s social security number, (iii) the number of Shares purchased by such subscriber, and (iv) the amount paid by such subscriber for such Shares. During the Escrow Period
neither the Company nor the Dealer Manager will be entitled to any principal funds received into the Escrow Account. 
 (b)
Distribution of the Escrowed Funds. If at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, the Minimum Offering has been raised, then upon the happening of such event, the funds in the Escrow Account shall remain in the Escrow Account until the
Escrow Agent receives written direction provided by the Company and the Dealer Manager instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver the principal amount of such escrowed funds as the Company shall direct (other than any funds received from Pennsylvania
Subscribers and Tennessee Subscribers which cannot be released until the conditions of Sections 3 and 4, respectively, have been met); provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not disburse the funds of a subscriber, the subscription of which
has been rejected or rescinded, if the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company of such rejection or rescission. An affidavit or certification from an officer of the Company and an officer of the Dealer Manager to the Escrow Agent and
Processing Agent stating that at least the Minimum Offering has been timely raised, shall constitute sufficient evidence for the purpose of this Agreement that such event has occurred (the “Break Escrow Affidavit”). The Affidavit
shall indicate (i) the date on which the Minimum Offering was raised and (ii) the actual total number of Shares sold as of such date. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall distribute directly to the subscribers any interest earned on such
subscriber’s subscription payments while such payments were held in the Escrow Account. 
 (c) If the Escrow Agent has not
received a Break Escrow Affidavit on or prior to the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly create and dispatch checks and wires drawn on the Escrow Account to return the principal amount of the funds in the Escrow Account, together with any
interest thereon, without deduction, penalty or expense, to the respective subscribers, and the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Dealer Manager of its distribution of the funds. The subscription payments returned to each subscriber
(including those, if any, returned to Pennsylvania Subscribers and Tennessee Subscribers pursuant to Sections 3 and 4, respectively,) shall be free and clear of any and all claims of the Company or any of its creditors. 
 3. Distribution of the Funds from Pennsylvania Subscribers. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, disbursements of funds contributed by Pennsylvania Subscribers may only be distributed in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.
Irrespective of any disbursement of funds from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Escrow Agent will continue to place deposits from the Pennsylvania Subscribers into the Escrow Account, until such time as the Company notifies
the Escrow

  

 - 3 - 








 
Agent in writing that total subscriptions (including amounts in the Escrow Account previously disbursed as directed by the Company and the amounts then held in the Escrow Account) equal or exceed
$66,700,000, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall (i) disburse to the Company, at the Company’s request, the principal amount of the funds from the Pennsylvania Subscribers received by the Escrow Agent for accepted subscriptions and
(ii) disburse directly to the Pennsylvania Subscribers any interest earned on such Pennsylvania Subscribers’ subscription payments while such payments were held in the Escrow Account. However, the Escrow Agent shall not disburse to the
Company those funds of a subscriber, the subscription of which has been rejected or rescinded, if the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company of such rejection or rescission. 
 (b) If the Company has not received total subscriptions of at least $66,700,000 within 120 days of the date the Company first
receives a subscription from a Pennsylvania Subscriber (the “Initial Escrow Period”), the Company shall notify each Pennsylvania Subscriber by certified mail or any other means (whereby receipt of delivery is obtained) of the right of
Pennsylvania Subscribers to have their investment returned to them. If, pursuant to such notice, a Pennsylvania Subscriber requests the return of his or her subscription funds within ten (10) days after receipt of the notification (the
“Request Period”), the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund, with a pro rata share of any interest earned thereon and without deduction, directly to each Pennsylvania Subscriber the funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of the
Pennsylvania Subscriber. 
 (c) The funds of Pennsylvania Subscribers who do not request the return of their funds within
the Request Period shall remain in the Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (each a “Successive Escrow Period”), each commencing automatically upon the termination of the prior Successive Escrow Period, and the Company and
Escrow Agent shall follow the notification and payment procedure set forth in Section 3(b) above with respect to the Initial Escrow Period for each Successive Escrow Period, until the occurrence of the earliest of (i) the termination of
the offering by the Company prior to the receipt of $66,700,000 of total subscriptions, (ii) the receipt and acceptance by the Company of total subscriptions that equal or exceed $66,700,000 and the disbursement of the Escrow Account on the
terms specified in this Section 3, or (iii) all funds held in the Escrow Account that were contributed by Pennsylvania Subscribers having been returned to the Pennsylvania Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof. 

(d) If the Company has not received total subscriptions of at least $66,700,000 within 365 days after the Closing Date, all funds in
the Escrow Account that were contributed by Pennsylvania Subscribers will be promptly returned in full to such Pennsylvania Subscribers, together with their pro rata share of any interest earned thereon pursuant to instructions made by the Company,
upon which the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely. 
 4. Distribution of the Funds from Tennessee Subscribers. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, disbursements of funds contributed by Tennessee Subscribers may only be distributed in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 4. Irrespective of any disbursement of funds from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Escrow Agent will continue to place deposits from the Tennessee Subscribers into the Escrow
Account, until such time as the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that total subscriptions (including amounts in the Escrow Account previously disbursed as directed by the Company and the amounts then held in the Escrow Account) equal or
exceed $10,000,000, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall (i) disburse to the Company, at the Company’s request, the principal amount of the funds from the Tennessee Subscribers received by the Escrow Agent for accepted subscriptions and (ii)
disburse directly to the Tennessee Subscribers any interest earned on such Tennessee Subscribers’ subscription payments while such payments were held in the Escrow Account. However, the Escrow Agent shall not disburse those funds of a
subscriber, the subscription of which has been rejected or rescinded, if the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company of such rejection or rescission. 
 (b) If the Company has not received total subscriptions of at least $10,000,000 within 365 days after the Closing Date, all funds in the Escrow Account that were contributed by Tennessee Subscribers will
be promptly returned in full to such Tennessee Subscribers, together with their pro rata share of any interest earned thereon pursuant to instructions made by the Company upon which the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely. 
 5. Escrowed Funds. Upon receipt of funds from subscribers to the Offering, the Escrow Agent shall hold such funds in escrow pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement. All such funds held in the Escrow Account shall be invested and reinvested in bank accounts or bank money market accounts permitted under Rule 15c2-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

  

 - 4 - 








 
amended, at the direction of the Company. All funds in the Escrow Account shall at all times be placed in interest-bearing accounts. 
 The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to sell or redeem any such investment as necessary to make any distributions required under this
Agreement and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such sale or redemption. 
 Income, if any,
resulting from the investment of the funds received from subscribers to the Offering shall be distributed according to this Agreement. 
 The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Company monthly statements (or more frequently as reasonably requested by the Company) on the account balance of the Escrow Account and the activity in the account since the last report. 
 6. Duties of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and
no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is not a party to, or bound by, any other agreement among the other parties hereto, and the Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined
solely by reference to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person, other than as provided herein. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to anyone by reason of any failure on the part of any
party hereto or any maker, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. 
 7. Liability of the Escrow Agent and the Processing Agent; Indemnification. The Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depository only. The Escrow Agent is not responsible or liable in any manner for the
sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of this Escrow Agreement or with respect to the form of execution of the same. Each of the Escrow Agent and the Processing Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any
action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith, and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel
(including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent or the Processing Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and
acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent or the Processing Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person(s). Each of the Escrow Agent and the Processing Agent shall not be
held liable for any error in judgment made in good faith by an officer or employee of either unless it shall be proved that the Escrow Agent or the Processing Agent, as appropriate, was grossly negligent or reckless in ascertaining the pertinent
facts or acted intentionally in bad faith. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to
the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. 
 Either of the Escrow Agent and the Processing Agent may consult legal counsel and shall exercise reasonable care in the selection of such counsel, in the event of any dispute or question as to the
construction of any provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no

  

 - 5 - 








 
liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the reasonable opinion or instructions of such counsel. 
 Each of the Escrow Agent and the Processing Agent shall not be responsible, may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected, indemnified and held harmless by the Company, for the sufficiency or accuracy
of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of the signature or endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent or the
Processing Agent be responsible or liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document, property or this Agreement. 
 In the event that either the Escrow Agent or the Processing Agent shall become involved in any arbitration or litigation relating to the funds received from
subscribers to the Offering, each is authorized to comply with any decision reached through such arbitration or litigation. 
 The Company,
hereby agrees to indemnify both the Escrow Agent and the Processing Agent for, and to hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection herewith without gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of
either of the Escrow Agent or the Processing Agent, including without limitation legal or other fees arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including without limitation the costs
and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises or any action for interpleader. Neither the Escrow Agent, nor the Processing Agent, shall be under any obligation to institute or defend any action, suit, or legal
proceeding in connection herewith, unless first indemnified and held harmless to its satisfaction in accordance with the foregoing, except that neither shall be indemnified against any loss, liability or expense arising out of its own gross
negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement or resignation of the Escrow Agent. 
 8. The Escrow Agent’s Fee. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to fees and expenses for its regular services as Escrow Agent as set forth in Exhibit A. Additionally, Escrow Agent is entitled
to reasonable fees for extraordinary services and reimbursement of any reasonable out of pocket and extraordinary costs and expenses related to its obligations as Escrow Agent under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees. All of the Escrow Agent’s compensation, costs and expenses shall be paid by the Company. 
 9. Security
Interests. No party to this Escrow Agreement shall grant a security interest in any monies or other property deposited with the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement, or otherwise create a lien, encumbrance or other claim against such monies
or borrow against the same. 
 10. Dispute. In the event of any disagreement between the undersigned or the person or persons named in
instructions given pursuant to this Agreement, or any other person, resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for any papers, money or property involved herein, or affected hereby, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
refuse to comply with any demand or claim, as long as such disagreement shall continue, and in so refusing to make any delivery or other disposition of any money, papers or property involved or affected hereby, the Escrow Agent shall not be or
become liable to the undersigned or to any person named in

  

 - 6 - 








 
such instructions for its refusal to comply with such conflicting or adverse demands, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse and refrain to act until: (a) The rights of the adverse
claimants shall have been fully and finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction over the parties and money, papers and property involved herein or affected hereby, or (b) All differences shall have been adjusted by agreement and
the Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing, signed by all the interested parties. 
 11. Resignation of Escrow Agent.

resignation or removal to take effect; upon the effective date of such resignation or removal:

cease and terminate; or 
 (b) If no such successor escrow agent has been designated by such date, all
obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall, nevertheless, cease and terminate, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to keep all property then held by it and to deliver the same to a person designated in writing by
the Company or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; and
