This Amendment to Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (this “Amendment”) is made as of November 3, 2021, by and between KBSIII TEN ALMADEN, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Grantor”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”) for itself and the other lenders from time to time party to the Loan Agreement described below (individually, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”).

B.The Loan is presently evidenced by certain promissory notes issued pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of One Billion Ten Million Dollars ($1,010,000,000) (collectively, the “Existing Notes”).  The Existing Notes, and all substitutions therefor and replacements thereof, are secured by, among other things, that Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (Ten Almaden) (which, as it may have been or may be amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, is herein called the “Deed of Trust”), dated as of November 3, 2017, from Grantor to PRLAP, Inc., 
1

C.Concurrently herewith, Administrative Agent and certain other lenders (each a “Lender” and collectively, “Lenders”), and Grantor, KBSIII 60 South Sixth Street, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, KBSIII Sterling Plaza, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, KBSIII Preston Commons, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, KBSIII Towers At Emeryville, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and KBSIII Legacy Town Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (each, a “Borrower” and, collectively, “Borrowers”), are entering into that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (herein called, as it may hereafter be modified, supplemented, restated, extended, or renewed and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Borrowers, Lenders and Administrative Agent have agreed to amend and restate their respective rights, duties and obligations under the Original Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.
D.As a condition to the effectiveness of the Loan Agreement, Grantor and Administrative Agent desire to amend the Deed of Trust to, among other things provide that the obligations of Grantor secured under the Deed of Trust shall include, without limitation, the obligations of Grantor under the Original Loan Agreement, as amended and restated by the Loan Agreement.
Agreement
Therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.The definitions of the following terms set forth in Article I of the Deed of Trust are hereby amended to read as follows:
“’Borrower’ means individually and collectively, Grantor, KBSIII 60 South Sixth Street, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, KBSIII Sterling Plaza, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, KBSIII Preston Commons, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, KBSIII Towers At Emeryville, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and KBSIII Legacy Town Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
“’Loan Agreement’ means the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2021, among Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders, which sets forth, among other things, the terms and conditions upon which the proceeds of the Loan will be disbursed, as the same may from time to time be extended, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified.”
“’Note’ or ‘Notes’ mean (i) one or more promissory notes made by Borrower and payable to the order of each of the Lenders in the aggregate face principal amount of Six Hundred Thirteen Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($613,200,000.00), and each bearing interest as provided in the Loan Agreement, and (ii) all other promissory notes given in substitution thereof or in modification, 
2








supplement, increase, renewal or extension thereof, in whole or in part, whether one or more, as any or all of such promissory notes may from time to time be renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified.  Additionally, the Notes provide that the principal balance evidenced thereby shall bear interest at a floating rate of interest subject to change from time to time.”
2.The Deed of Trust is modified to secure payment and performance of Grantor’s obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), as amended and modified to date, in addition to all other obligations described therein.  In all other respects, the Deed of Trust shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. 
3.The provisions of Section 9.13 of the Deed of Trust are, by this reference, incorporated into the terms of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.
4.This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
5.This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to the choice of law rules of that State.
