General. All rights and powers to manage and control the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company shall be vested in the Advisor. The Advisor shall have the power
to delegate all or any part of its rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company to such officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and representatives of the Advisor or the Company as it may deem appropriate. Any
authority delegated by the Advisor to any other Person shall be subject to the limitations on the rights and powers of the Advisor specifically set forth in this Agreement or the Charter. 

4.02 Powers of the Advisor. Subject to the express limitations set forth in this Agreement and the continuing and exclusive authority of the
Board over the management of the Company, the power to direct the management, operation and policies of the Company, including making, financing and disposing of investments, shall be vested in the Advisor, which shall have the power by itself and
shall be authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of the Company to carry out any and all of the objectives and purposes of the Company and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may in
its sole discretion deem necessary, advisable or incidental thereto to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
 4.03 Approval by the
Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor may not take any action on behalf of the Company without the prior approval of the Board or duly authorized committees thereof if the Charter or Maryland General Corporation Law require the prior
approval of the Board. If the Board or a committee of the Board must approve a proposed investment, financing or disposition or chooses to do so, the Advisor will deliver to the Board or committee, as applicable, all documents required by it to
evaluate such investment, financing or disposition. 
 4.04 Modification or Revocation of Authority of Advisor. The Board may, at any time
upon the giving of notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke the authority or approvals set forth in Article 3 and this Article 4 hereof; provided, however, that such modification or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall

 The Advisor may
establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own name for the account of the Company or in the name of the Company and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on

 ARTICLE 6 

RECORDS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The Advisor, in the conduct of its responsibilities to the Company, shall maintain adequate and separate books and records for the

FEES

compensation for the investigation, selection, sourcing and acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Properties, Loans and other Permitted Investments, the Company shall pay an Acquisition Fee to the Advisor for each such
investment (whether an acquisition or origination). With respect to the acquisition or origination of a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment to be wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, the Acquisition Fee payable to the
Advisor shall equal 1.0% of the sum of the amount actually paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement of the Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses
associated with such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment and the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment. With respect to the acquisition or origination of a
Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment through any Joint Venture or any partnership in which the Company or the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a partner, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall equal 1.0% of the portion of
the amount actually paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement of the Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses associated with such Property, Loan or
other Permitted Investment, plus the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment that is attributable to the Company’s investment in such Joint Venture or partnership.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of Acquisition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations on Acquisition Fees contained in (and defined in) the Company’s Charter, and no Acquisition Fee shall be paid in
connection with the Merger. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each acquisition or origination, accompanied by a computation of the Acquisition Fee. Generally, the Acquisition Fee payable to the
Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. However, the Acquisition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion
of the Acquisition Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. 

8.02 Asset Management Fees. 

(i) Except as provided in Section 8.02(ii) hereof, the Company shall pay the Advisor as compensation for the services
described in Section 3.03 hereof a monthly fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the sum of the Cost of Real Estate Investments and the Cost of Loans and
other Permitted Investments. The Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Asset Management Fee for the applicable period. Generally, the Asset Management Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid on
the last day of such month, or the first business day following the last day of such month. However, the Asset Management Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of
the Asset Management Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. 

  
 15 













 (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.02(i) to the
contrary, a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment that has suffered an impairment in value, reduction in cash flow or other negative circumstances may either be excluded from the calculation of the Cost of Real Estate Investments or the Cost
of Loans and other Permitted Investments or included in such calculation at a reduced value that is recommended by the Advisor and the Company’s management and then approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, and the
resulting change in the Asset Management Fee with respect to such an investment will be applicable upon the earlier to occur of the date on which (i) such investment is sold, (ii) such investment is surrendered to a Person other than the
Company, its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary or a Joint Venture or partnership in which the Company has an interest, (iii) the Advisor determines that it will no longer pursue collection or other remedies related to such investment,
or (iv) the Advisor recommends a revised fee arrangement with respect to such investment. 
 8.03 Disposition Fees. If the Advisor or
any of its Affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by the Conflicts Committee) in connection with a Sale, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a fee at the closing (the “Disposition Fee”) equal to 1% of
the Contract Sales Price; provided, however, that if in connection with such Sale commissions are paid to third parties other than the Advisor or its Affiliates, the fee paid to the Advisor or any of its Affiliates may not exceed the commissions
paid to such unaffiliated third parties; and provided further that no Disposition Fee shall be payable to the Advisor for any Sale if such Sale involves the Company selling all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions designed
to effectuate a business combination transaction (as opposed to a Company liquidation, in which case the Disposition Fee would be payable if the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services as provided above). The payment of any
Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter. Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 8.03 may be paid in addition to commissions paid to
non-Affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Sale shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the aggregate
Contract Sales Price of each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission for each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the
closing or closings of each disposition, accompanied by a computation of the Disposition Fee. Generally, the Disposition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. However,
the Disposition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Disposition Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in
such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. 
 8.04 Subordinated Share of Cash Flows. The Subordinated Share of Cash Flows shall
be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (I) 15% of Operating Cash Flow and Cash from Sales, Settlements and Financings remaining after the Stockholders have received Distributions of Operating Cash Flow and of
Cash from Sales, Settlements and Financings since Company inception such that the owners of all outstanding Shares have received Distributions since Company inception in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the Stockholders’ 7% Return and
Invested Capital, exceeds (II) the Prior Advisor Performance Fee Value. 

  
 16 













 When determining whether the above threshold (the “Subordinated Share of Cash Flows Threshold”)
has been met: 
  

	 	(A)	 Any stock dividend since Company inception shall not be included as a Distribution; and 



 

	 	(B)	 Distributions since Company inception paid on Shares redeemed by the Company (and thus no longer included in
the determination of Invested Capital), shall not be included as a Distribution. 


 Following Listing, no Subordinated Share of Cash Flows
will be paid to the Advisor. 
 If the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows is payable to the Advisor, the Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the
Company, accompanied by a computation of the total amount of the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows for the applicable period. Generally, the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows payable to the Advisor shall be paid on the last day of such month, or the
first business day following the last day of such month. However, the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Subordinated Share
of Cash Flows not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. 

8.05 Subordinated Incentive Fee. Upon Listing, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to the
amount, if any, by which (I) 15% of the amount by which (i) the market value of the outstanding Shares of the Company, measured by taking the average closing price or the average of the bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period of
30 days during which the Shares are traded, with such period beginning 180 days after Listing (the “Market Value”), plus the total of all Distributions paid to Stockholders (excluding any stock dividends) from Company inception until the
date that Market Value is determined, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 7% Return from Company inception
through the date Market Value is determined (the sum of (A) and (B) is the “Subordinated Incentive Fee Threshold”) exceeds (II) the Prior Advisor Performance Fee Value. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the
form of cash, Shares, a promissory note or any combination of the foregoing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any prior payment to the Advisor of a Subordinated Share of Cash Flows. In the event the Subordinated
Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor following Listing, no other performance fee will be paid to the Advisor. In addition, the Subordinated Incentive Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the
Advisor. All or any portion of the Subordinated Incentive Fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. 

8.06 Changes to Fee Structure. The Advisor and the Company shall not agree to reduce the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows Threshold, the
Subordinated Incentive Fee Threshold or the Termination Fee Threshold without the approval of Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares. In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee
structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity.

consistent basis. 
 ARTICLE 10

ARTICLE 11 
 RELATIONSHIP OF
ADVISOR AND COMPANY; 
 OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR 

11.01 Relationship. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the
management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to
engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein.
The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the
Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person. 
 11.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this
Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of
its Affiliates. 

  
 20 













 11.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use
commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be
obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. 

ARTICLE 12 
 THE PACIFIC OAK NAME

 The Advisor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “Pacific Oak.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company
a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name “Pacific Oak” during
the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of
written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Pacific Oak” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the
name “Pacific Oak” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates. At such time, the
Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Pacific Oak.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of
its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “Pacific Oak”
as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company.

corporation or other organization that is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the
Company is bound by this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 15 

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

15.01 Indemnification. Except as prohibited by the restrictions provided in this Section 15.01, Section 15.02 and
Section 15.03, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, equity holders, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising
in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance. Any indemnification of
the Advisor may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from Stockholders. 

  
 22 













 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or its Affiliates
for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits
of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or
(iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for
indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

 15.02 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification of the Advisor or
