NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Escrow of Subscriber Funds.
(a) On or before the commencement of the Offering, the Company shall establish an interest bearing deposit account with the Escrow Agent to be invested in accordance with Section 7 hereof entitled “UMB BANK, N.A., AS ESCROW AGENT FOR OAKTREE REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.” (the “Escrow Account”). All funds received from Subscribers in payment for the Shares (“Subscriber Funds”) which comply with the instructions set forth in Section 1(c) will be sent to the Escrow Agent promptly following the day upon which such Subscriber Funds are received by the Processing Agent and such subscription is accepted by the Company, and shall, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent, be retained in the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and invested as stated herein. The Company shall also instruct its agents (including the Dealer Manager) to promptly deliver funds to the Escrow Agent immediately upon their receipt of such funds. During the term of this Agreement, which shall begin on the date hereof, the Company or its agents (including the Dealer Manager) shall cause all checks received by and made payable to it in payment for the Shares to be endorsed in favor of the Escrow Agent and delivered to the Escrow Agent for deposit. Subscriber Funds may also be wired directly to the Escrow Account using wire instructions provided by the Escrow Agent. Such Subscriber Funds shall be retained in the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and invested as set forth in Section 7 and shall be deposited within one business day of receipt.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to make any disbursement, investment or other use of Subscriber Funds until and unless it has good and collected funds. If any checks deposited in the Escrow Account are returned or prove uncollectible after the funds represented thereby have been released by the Escrow Agent, then the Company shall promptly reimburse the Escrow Agent for its reasonable and documented costs incurred for such, if any, upon request, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the returned checks to the Company. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder.
(c) Until such time as the Company has received subscriptions for Shares resulting in gross subscription proceeds equal to the Minimum Offering (as defined below) and the funds in the Escrow Account are disbursed from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2(c) hereof, Subscribers will be instructed by the Company to remit the purchase price in the form of checks drafts, wires, Automated Clearing House (ACH) or money orders (hereinafter, “Instruments of Payment”) payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Oaktree Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.” Any Instruments of Payment made payable to a party other than as set forth above shall be returned to the Dealer Manager or the Dealer who submitted the check. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may reject any Subscriber subscription for any reason.
2. Operation of the Escrow.
(a) Completed subscription agreements and Instruments of Payment for the purchase price will be remitted by Subscribers to a Dealer at the address designated for the receipt of such agreements and Instruments of Payment.
2
(b) When a Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials (as defined below) are initially received by the Dealer, by the end of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, such Dealer will send to the Processing Agent such Instruments of Payment along with each Subscriber’s name, address, executed IRS Form W-9, number and class of Shares purchased and purchase price remitted and any other subscription documentation (the “Subscription Materials”). When a Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), such Dealer shall transmit the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, and then the Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials, forward the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Processing Agent. To the extent that subscription agreements and payments are remitted by the Processing Agent, the Company, the Dealer Manager or a Dealer, the Processing Agent, the Company, the Dealer Manager or a Dealer, as applicable, will furnish to the Escrow Agent a list detailing information regarding such subscriptions as set forth in Exhibit A. The Processing Agent will promptly deliver all monies received in good order from Subscribers (or from the Company, the Dealer Manager or Dealers transmitting monies and subscriptions from Subscribers) for the payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. 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, such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of its affiliates. If any of the Instruments of Payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Processing Agent and the Company in writing via mail or email of such nonpayment, and the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account, as applicable, in the amount of such returned payment as well as any interest earned on the amount of such payment and the Processing Agent shall delete the appropriate account from the records maintained by the Processing Agent. 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 number and class of Shares purchased by such Subscriber, and (iii) the amount paid by such Subscriber for such Shares. Prior to the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, the Company will not be entitled to any funds received into the Escrow Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, upon the written request of a Subscriber (which may be delivered by the Company or Dealer Manager) to withdraw their purchase order and request a full refund, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to Section 7(c) below, disburse directly to such Subscriber the principal amount of the subscription payment from such Subscriber received by the Escrow Agent plus any interest accrued thereon.
3
(c) If at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), (i) the subscription proceeds received by the Escrow Agent are equal to or greater than $150,000,000, including Shares purchased by the Company’s sponsor, its affiliates and the Company’s officers and directors (“Minimum Amount”) and (ii) the Company’s board of directors has authorized the release to the Company of all Subscriber Funds in the Escrow Account, then the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written instruction from an officer of the Company stating that the Minimum Amount has been timely raised and authorizing the delivery of all Subscriber Funds in the Escrow Account to the Company. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer (i) the funds in the Escrow Account representing the principal amount of the gross subscription payments from Subscribers received by the Escrow Agent and (ii) any interest accrued thereon; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not disburse those funds of a Subscriber whose subscription has been rejected or rescinded of which the Escrow Agent has been notified in writing by the Company, or otherwise in accordance with the Company’s written request.
(d) After the Escrow Agent has disbursed the funds from the Escrow Account in accordance with this Section 2, in the event that the Company receives subscriptions made payable to the Escrow Agent, the proceeds shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company of the receipt of such proceeds and such proceeds shall be disbursed as directed in writing by the Company; provided upon the termination of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to accept any such proceeds.
(e) If, as of the close of business on the one year anniversary of the commencement of the Offering (the “Expiration Date”), the funds in the Escrow Account do not equal or exceed the Minimum Amount (or, even if the Minimum Amount is met, the Company notifies the Escrow Agent that the Company’s board of directors has not authorized the release to the Company of all Subscriber Funds in the Escrow Account), within 10 days following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of written notice from the Company of the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return directly to each Subscriber (i) by check or wire transfer, the Subscriber Funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Subscriber (unless earlier disbursed in accordance with this Agreement), or (ii) the Instruments of Payment delivered to the Escrow Agent with respect to such Subscriber’s subscription if such Instrument of Payment has not been processed for collection prior to such time, in either case, together with any interest income thereon. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Escrow Agent has not received an executed IRS Form W-9 at such time for each Subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall remit an amount to the Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding required by the Internal Revenue Code, as then in effect, from any interest income on subscription proceeds attributable to each Subscriber for whom the Escrow Agent does not possess an executed IRS Form W-9. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments.
4
(f) The Company shall, or shall cause the Processing Agent or the Dealer Manager to, furnish to the Escrow Agent with each delivery of an Instrument of Payment, a list of the Subscribers who have paid for the Shares showing the name, address, tax identification number, amount and class of Shares subscribed for and the amount paid and deposited with the Escrow Agent. This information comprising the identity of Subscribers shall be provided to the Escrow Agent in the format set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “List of Subscribers”). All Subscriber Funds deposited in the Escrow Account shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the Company or the Escrow Agent, or judgments or creditors’ claims against the Company, until and unless released to the Company as hereinafter provided. The Company understands and agrees that the Company shall not be entitled to any Subscriber Funds on deposit in the Escrow Account and no such funds shall become the property of the Company except when released to the Company pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will treat all Subscriber information as confidential and will not use the information provided to it by the Company for any purpose other than to fulfill its obligations as Escrow Agent; provided the Escrow Agent may disclose Subscriber information to the extent required by applicable law or to the extent required by a supervisory or governmental authority or a self-regulatory organization pursuant to any examination, inquiry, or audit of the Escrow Agent.
3. Rejected Subscriptions. If the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company or the Dealer Manager that the Company has rejected a Subscriber’s subscription, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to Section 7(c) below, pay directly to the applicable Subscriber(s), within a reasonable time not to exceed 10 business days after receiving notice of the rejection, by first class United States Mail at the address appearing on the List of Subscribers, or at such other address or wire instructions as are furnished to the Escrow Agent by the Subscriber in writing, all collected sums paid by the Subscriber for Shares and received by the Escrow Agent together with all interest earned thereon.
4. Termination of Escrow Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, final termination of this Agreement shall occur on the earliest of the date that (a) all funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed either to the Company or to Subscribers and the Company has informed the Escrow Agent in writing to close the Escrow Account, (b) all funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed to a successor escrow agent upon written instructions from the Company or (c) the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company that the Company terminated the Offering and any funds held in the Escrow Account are distributed in accordance with this Agreement. After the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall not accept, any additional amounts representing payments by prospective Subscribers.
5. Duty and Liability of the Escrow Agent.
(a) The Escrow Agent’s rights and responsibilities shall be governed solely by this Agreement.

The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to determine whether the Company is complying with requirements of this Agreement, the Offering
5
