 Exhibit 4.5 
  

ESCROW AGREEMENT 
  
 First Republic Trust Company 
 111 Pine Street, 4th Floor 
 San Francisco, CA 94111 
  
 Re: KBS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. 
  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), will issue in a public offering (the “Offering”) its
common stock (the “Stock”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). KBS Capital
Markets Group LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), will act as dealer manager for the Offering. The Company is entering into this agreement with First Republic Trust Company (the “Escrow
Agent”) to set forth the terms on which you, as Escrow Agent, will hold and disburse the proceeds from subscriptions from the purchase of Stock in the Offering until such time as: (i) in the case of subscriptions received from all
persons not affiliated with the Company or its advisor, KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“Non-Affiliates”), other than from Pennsylvania Subscribers (as defined below), the Company has received subscriptions for Stock resulting in total
minimum capital raised of $2,500,000 (the “Required Capital”); and (ii) in the case of subscriptions received from residents of Pennsylvania (“Pennsylvania Subscribers”), the Company has received subscriptions
for Stock from Non-Affiliates resulting in total minimum capital raised of $66,700,000 (the “Pennsylvania Required Capital”). 
  
 Based upon your representation and warranty that you are, and at all times during the term of this agreement will be, deemed a “bank” as that term is defined in
Section 3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company hereby appoints you as Escrow Agent for purposes of holding the proceeds from the subscriptions for the Stock, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth:

  
 1. Until such time as the Company has received subscriptions for Stock
resulting in total minimum capital raised equal to the Required Capital and such funds are disbursed in accordance with paragraph 3 hereof, persons subscribing to purchase the Stock will be instructed by the Dealer Manager or any soliciting dealers
to remit the purchase price in the form of checks payable to the order of, “FIRST REPUBLIC TRUST COMPANY, AS ESCROW AGENT FOR KBS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.” Any checks received made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent
shall be returned to the Dealer Manager or soliciting dealer, as applicable, who submitted the check. By the end of the second business day after receipt of any check from the Offering, the Dealer Manager will transmit, or cause to be transmitted,
to you: (a) an electronic file in a compatible format containing the subscriber’s name, address, tax identification number or social security number, number of shares purchased and purchase price remitted, (b) a statement confirming
the receipt from such subscriber of a Form W-9 (as defined below), and (c) the check from such subscriber, for deposit by you into an interest-bearing deposit account entitled “ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUBSCRIBERS FOR 








 
COMMON STOCK OF KBS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.” (the “Escrow Account”), which deposit shall occur within one business day after
you receive such materials. Checks received from Pennsylvania Subscribers (as identified as such by the Dealer Manager) shall be accounted for separately in a sub-account entitled “ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR THE BENEFIT OF PENNSYLVANIA SUBSCRIBERS FOR
COMMON STOCK OF KBS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.” (the “Pennsylvania Escrow Account”), until such Pennsylvania Escrow Account has closed pursuant to paragraph 3 hereof. 
  
 2. You agree to promptly process for collection the checks upon deposit into the Escrow
Account or the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, as applicable. You will hold the deposited funds in the Escrow Account or the Pennsylvania Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with paragraph 3 hereof. If any of the checks are
returned to you for nonpayment prior to receipt by you of the Required Capital or, in connection with subscriptions from Pennsylvania Subscribers, the Pennsylvania Required Capital, you shall promptly notify the Dealer Manager and the Company in
writing of such nonpayment, and you are authorized to debit the Escrow Account or the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, as applicable, in an amount equal to such return payment (including any interest earned thereon), and to bill the Company for the
returned check fee set forth on Exhibit B. 
  
 3. (a) (i) Subject to the
provisions of subparagraphs 3(b)—3(e) below, once collected funds in the Escrow Account are an amount equal to or greater than the Required Capital, and upon receiving written instructions from the Company for disbursement of the funds, you
shall disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, all funds then in the Escrow Account, including any interest income earned on subscription proceeds deposited in the Escrow Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “collected
funds” shall mean all funds received by the Escrow Agent that have cleared normal banking channels and are in the form of cash. Following such disbursement, the Escrow Account shall close and thereafter you shall forward directly to the Company
any checks received by you from subscribers. 
  
 (ii) Regardless
of any release of funds from the Escrow Account, the Dealer Manager shall continue to forward, or cause to be forwarded, checks received from Pennsylvania Subscribers to you for deposit into the Pennsylvania Escrow Account until such time as the
Company notifies you in writing that total subscription proceeds from Non-Affiliates (including the amount then in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account) equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Required Capital. Within five days of receiving such notice and
instructions from the Company for the disbursement of the funds, you shall disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, all funds then in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, including any interest income earned on subscription proceeds deposited
in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account. Following such disbursement, you shall close the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, and thereafter you shall forward directly to the Company any checks received by you from Pennsylvania Subscribers. 
  
 (b) (i) The “Expiration Date” shall be the date that is exactly one
year after the SEC grants an effective order relating to the Registration Statement under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company shall notify you of the Expiration Date as soon as possible after it is determined.

  
 (ii) If, at the close of business on the date that is 30
business days prior to the Expiration 








 
Date, you are not in receipt of evidence of subscriptions and checks for the purchase of Stock providing for total purchase proceeds from Non-Affiliates that
equal or exceed the Required Capital, you shall promptly so notify the Company and the Dealer Manager. Within one business day thereafter, the Dealer Manager shall transmit, or cause to be transmitted, to you an executed IRS Form W-9, which may be a
substitute executed Form W-9 as contained in the subscription agreement provided such substitute form is in conformity with all applicable IRS regulations, (a “Form W-9”) for each subscriber (unless a Form W-9 for such subscriber
has previously been transmitted to you by the Dealer Manager). You shall not be obligated to use any efforts to obtain such Form W-9s from the subscribers, the Company or the Dealer Manager. 
  
 (iii) If, at the close of business on the date that is 6 business days prior
to the Expiration Date, you are not in receipt of evidence of subscriptions and checks for the purchase of Stock providing for total purchase proceeds from Non-Affiliates that equal or exceed the Required Capital, you shall promptly so notify the
Company and the Dealer Manager. Within one business day thereafter, the Dealer Manager shall transmit to you instructions for allocating among the subscribers any interest income earned on the subscription proceeds, which amounts shall be calculated
by the Dealer Manager in accordance with paragraph 8. 
  
 (iv) If,
at the close of business on the Expiration Date, you are not in receipt of evidence of subscriptions accepted on or before such date and checks dated not later than that date for the purchase of Stock providing for total purchase proceeds from
Non-Affiliates that equal or exceed the Required Capital, you shall promptly so notify the Company and the Dealer Manager. Promptly following the Expiration Date, and in any event no later than the next business day after the Expiration Date, you
shall return directly to each subscriber by your check the collected funds deposited in the Escrow Account and the Pennsylvania Escrow Account on behalf of such subscriber (unless earlier disbursed in accordance with paragraph 3(c) or 3(e) below),
or shall return the checks delivered to you if such checks have not been processed for collection prior to such time, together with interest in the amounts instructed by the Dealer Manager pursuant to paragraph 3(b)(iii) for each subscriber at the
address given to you by the Dealer Manager. In the event a Form W-9 pertaining to any subscriber has not been received by you from the Dealer Manager, you shall remit an amount to such subscriber in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding
twenty-eight percent (28%) of any interest income on subscription proceeds attributable to such subscriber. However, you shall not be required to remit such payments until you have collected funds represented by such payments. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding subparagraphs 3(a) and 3(b) above, if you are not in receipt of evidence
of subscriptions accepted on or before the close of business on such date that is 120 days after the date the Company first accepts a subscription from a Pennsylvania Subscriber (such period, the “Initial Escrow Period”), and checks
dated not later than that date, for the purchase of Stock providing for total purchase proceeds from Non-Affiliates that equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Required Capital, you shall promptly so notify the Company and the Dealer Manager. Within one
business day thereafter, the Dealer Manager shall transmit to you (i) instructions for allocating among the Pennsylvania Subscribers interest income earned on the subscription proceeds in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, which amounts shall be
calculated by the Dealer Manager in accordance with paragraph 8, and (ii) a Form W-9 for each Pennsylvania Subscriber. The Company shall send to each Pennsylvania Subscriber by certified mail within 10 calendar days after the end of the Initial
Escrow Period a notification in the form of Exhibit A. If, 








 
pursuant to such notification, a Pennsylvania Subscriber requests the return of his or her subscription funds within 10 calendar days after receipt of the
notification (the “Request Period”), you shall promptly refund directly to each Pennsylvania Subscriber the collected funds deposited in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account on behalf of such Pennsylvania Subscriber or shall return the
checks delivered, but not yet processed for collection prior to such time, to the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company, together with interest income in the amounts instructed by the Dealer Manager. Notwithstanding the above, if you
have not received a Form W-9 for such Pennsylvania Subscriber from the Dealer Manager, you shall thereupon remit an amount to such Pennsylvania Subscriber in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding twenty-eight percent (28%) of any
interest income earned on subscription proceeds attributable to such Pennsylvania Subscriber. However, you shall not be required to remit such payments until you have collected funds represented by such payments. 
  
 (d) The subscription funds of Pennsylvania Subscribers who do not request the return of their
subscription funds within the Request Period shall remain in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (a “Successive Escrow Period”), each commencing automatically upon the termination of the prior
Successive Escrow Period, and the Company and you shall follow the notification and payment procedure set forth in subparagraph 3(c) above with respect to the Initial Escrow Period for each Successive Escrow Period until the occurrence of the
earliest of (i) the close of business on the date that is exactly two years after the SEC grants an effective order relating to the Registration Statement under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) the receipt
and acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for the purchase of Stock with total purchase proceeds from Non-Affiliates that equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Required Capital and the disbursement of the Pennsylvania Escrow Account on the terms
specified herein, or (iii) all funds held in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account having been returned to the Pennsylvania Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof. 
  
 (e) If the Company rejects any subscription for which you have already collected funds, you shall, upon the written request of the Company,
promptly issue a refund check to the rejected subscriber. If the Company rejects any subscription for which you have not yet collected funds but have submitted the subscriber’s check for collection, you shall promptly issue a check in the
amount of the subscriber’s check to the rejected subscriber after you have cleared such funds. If you have not yet submitted a rejected subscriber’s check for collection, you shall promptly remit the subscriber’s check directly to the
subscriber. 
  
 4. You will provide electronic statements of the account with
respect to the Escrow Account and the Pennsylvania Escrow Account in accordance with your practice to the parties listed in paragraph 13. Notice of the statements will be sent to each party at the e-mail address shown for that party. Upon written
request, a party may receive paper statements in lieu of electronic statements. You will offer the parties the option of viewing statements (in PDF Format), account activity, investment holdings and other reports via the internet using Trust Online.
Account information via Trust Online is for review purposes only, but can be downloaded and/or printed. You will notify parties at the beginning of each statement cycle that the statement is available. Upon the establishment of the Escrow Account
and the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, you will send the parties a username, password and instructions for accessing Trust Online. Although precaution has been taken to ensure information is transmitted safely and securely, the Escrow 








 
Agent does not guarantee or warrant the privacy or security of information on the Internet. 
  
 5. All funds in the Escrow Account and the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, until disbursed to the Company in accordance with paragraph 3
hereof, are to be held for the benefit of the shareholders of the Company and are not to (i) be commingled with the monies or become an asset of the Company, or (ii) be subject to attachment, levy or other encumbrance in any action by a
third party against the Company. 
  
 6. Prior to the disbursement of funds
deposited in the Escrow Account or the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof, you shall invest all of the funds deposited in such accounts in “Short-Term Investments” (as
defined below) in compliance with SEC Rule 15c2-4 and you are further authorized and you agree to reinvest all earnings and interest derived therefrom in the Short-Term Investments specified below. In the absence of written direction from the
Company, funds deposited in the Escrow Account and the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, and any earnings and interest derived therefrom, shall be deposited in the First Republic Bank Business Money Market account. In the event that checks are returned
to you for nonpayment, you are authorized to debit the Escrow Account in accordance with paragraph 2 hereof. 
  
 “Short-Term Investments” include obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States government or bank money market accounts or certificates of deposit of national or state banks that
have deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (including certificates of deposit of any bank acting as a depository or custodian for any such funds, including, without limitation, such certificates or instruments of American
International Bank) that mature on or before the termination of the Offering, unless such instrument cannot be readily sold or otherwise disposed of for cash by the termination of the Offering without any dissipation of the Offering proceeds
invested. 
  
 The following securities are not
permissible investments: 

	(i)	money market mutual funds; 

 (ii)
corporate equity or debt securities; 
 (iii) repurchase agreements; 
 (iv) bankers’ acceptances; 

	(v)	commercial paper; and 

 (vi) municipal
securities. 
  
 7. All disbursements from the Escrow Account and the Pennsylvania
Escrow Account, except for disbursements under the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof, shall be made by you only pursuant to this paragraph 7. You are authorized to rely upon letter instructions that you receive from the Company, and, solely with
respect to calculations and allocations of interest income among subscribers, from the Dealer Manager, whether or not such instructions are correct, true or authentic; provided that, if in your opinion such letter instructions are unclear, you are
authorized to rely upon the legal counsel to the Company in distributing such funds to the effect that distribution of the funds is authorized by the letter instructions of the Company and that distribution of the funds in that manner is authorized
by and in compliance with such letter. For the purposes of this Agreement, you shall not accept any oral communications from any party. However, you shall not be required to disburse any funds attributable to checks that have not 








 
been collected, provided that you shall use your best efforts to promptly collect such funds after receipt of disbursement instructions from the Company in
accordance with this paragraph, and shall disburse such funds in compliance with the disbursement instructions from the Company. 
  
 8. If the Offering terminates prior to receipt of the Required Capital or one or more of the Pennsylvania Subscribers elects to have his or her subscription returned in
accordance with paragraph 3, interest income earned on subscription proceeds deposited in the Escrow Account (the “Escrow Income”) and the Pennsylvania Escrow Account (the “Pennsylvania Escrow Income”), as
applicable, shall be calculated by the Dealer Manager in accordance with this paragraph 8, and shall be remitted to subscribers by you in accordance with paragraph 3 and without any deductions for escrow expenses. The Dealer Manager shall calculate
each subscriber’s pro rata portion of Escrow Income as follows: the total amount of Escrow Income (or Pennsylvania Escrow Income, as applicable) shall be multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is determined by multiplying the
number of shares of Stock purchased by said subscriber times the number of days said subscriber’s proceeds are held in the Escrow Account (or the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, as applicable) prior to the date of disbursement, and (ii) the
denominator of which is the total of the numerators for all such subscribers in such account. 
  
 9. As compensation for serving as Escrow Agent hereunder, you shall receive a fee, as set forth on Exhibit B. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, you shall look to the Company for payment
of the fees and expenses, and you waive all right of offset against the funds held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 10. In performing any of your duties hereunder, you shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for your willful misconduct,
breach of trust, or gross negligence. Accordingly, you shall not incur any such liability with respect to any action taken or omitted (a) in good faith upon advice of your counsel given with respect to any questions relating to your duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement, or (b) in reliance upon any instrument, including any written instrument or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions but
also as to the truth and accuracy of information contained therein, which you shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement. 

 
 11. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be imposed on you or incurred by you in connection with your acceptance of appointment as the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the
performance of your duties hereunder, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof, except where such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses result from your willful misconduct, breach of
trust or gross negligence. 
  
 12. In the event of a dispute between the parties
hereto sufficient in your discretion to justify doing so, you shall be entitled to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all money or property in your hands under this Agreement, together with such legal
pleadings as you deem appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and 








 
liabilities under this Agreement. In the event of any uncertainty as to your duties hereunder, you may refuse to act under the provisions of this Agreement
pending order of a court of competent jurisdiction and you shall have no liability to the Company or to any other person as a result of such action. Any such legal action may be brought in such court as you shall determine to have jurisdiction
thereof. The filing of any such legal proceedings shall not deprive you of your compensation earned prior to such filing. 
  
 13. All notices hereunder shall be made in writing. Any such notices shall be given by mailing with postage paid and certified or registered or by personal delivery or by
telegraphing or faxing the same (transmission costs prepaid) to the respective party at the address listed below, and five (5) business days following the date of such mailing or the actual date of such personal delivery, telegraphing or faxing
