Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the commitment of KKR Alternative Assets LLC (the “Sponsor”), subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, shares of common stock of KKR Real Estate Select Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation registered as a closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Fund”). The Sponsor and the Fund hereby agree as follows:

1. Sponsor Commitment. The Sponsor hereby commits to purchase, or cause the purchase of, shares of the Fund’s common stock (the “Shares”) in the amount set forth on Schedule A (the “Sponsor Commitment”) at an initial purchase price of $25.00 per Share until such time as a net asset value is calculated and thereafter at a purchase price equal to the Fund’s most recently calculated net asset value per Share. The Sponsor agrees to purchase Shares on such dates and in such amounts as determined by the Fund in its sole discretion; provided that the Fund shall provide the Sponsor at least ten (10) business days’ notice of any requested funding of all or a portion of the Sponsor Commitment; provided further that the Sponsor may agree to waive such notice period. The Sponsor shall have the right to update Schedule A from time to time to reflect purchases of Shares pursuant to the Sponsor Commitment. The Fund hereby accepts the Sponsor Commitment.

2. Term of Sponsor Commitment. If the Sponsor Commitment has any remaining unfunded amounts twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, the Sponsor shall have the right to terminate its obligation to fund such remaining amounts upon prior written notice to the Fund. The Sponsor Commitment shall immediately terminate in the event an affiliate of the Sponsor no longer serves as the investment adviser to the Fund or otherwise manages the Fund.

3. Purchase of Shares; Reclassification of Sponsor Shares. The Fund intends to issue and sell five classes of its Shares, Class I Shares, Class S Shares, Class T Shares, Class D Shares and Class U Shares, to the public pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. After the Registration Statement is declared effective, the Sponsor may purchase Shares pursuant to the Fund’s public offering under the Registration Statement. Any Shares issued and outstanding to the Sponsor upon the amendment and restatement of the Fund’s charter will be reclassified as Class I Shares having an equivalent aggregate net asset value of such Shares.
