ARTICLE 1 Grant of Security Interest 1.1 In consideration of Secured Party agreeing to amend Original Loan Documents, to fund the Loan Increase and enter the Loan Documents and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and confessed, Pledgor hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in and to the collateral defined below (the “Collateral”): All of Pledgor’s rights, titles and interests in and to 3,000,000 shares of the common stock as more particularly described on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Pledged Equity Interests”) held by and owned by Pledgor in and to Pacific Oak Residential Trust, Inc., a Maryland real estate investment trust (“Issuer” or “PORT”), together with all rights, titles, interests, benefits, privileges, claims and demands accruing or appurtenant thereto or associated therewith, including, without limitation: (i) all of Pledgor’s voting rights, managerial rights, rights to return of capital and distributions of profit, cash, property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any of the Pledged Equity Interests (collectively, the “Proceeds”); (ii) all additional rights to purchase membership interest in Issuer from time to time acquired by Pledgor in any manner; and (iii) whatever is received or receivable when any Collateral or Proceeds are sold, collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, whether such disposition is voluntary or involuntary. ARTICLE 2 Secured Indebtedness 2.1 This Security Agreement is made to secure and enforce the full and prompt payment and performance of the Note and all other obligations and indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents. 2.2 The payment and performance obligations referred to in Section 2.1 hereof are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Indebtedness”, which term is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes, without limitation, any and all advances, debts, obligations or liabilities of Borrower to Secured Party with respect to the Loan pursuant to the Note or the Loan Documents, whether now or hereafter made, 3 incurred or created, due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or not liquidated, determined or undetermined, or whether recovery upon such Indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable. ARTICLE 3 Continuing Agreement; Revocation; Obligation Under Other Agreements 3.1 This Security Agreement is continuing and all rights, powers and remedies hereunder shall apply to all past, present and future Indebtedness of Borrower to Secured Party in connection with the Loan Agreement, including that arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Indebtedness, increase or decrease it, or from time to time restate the Indebtedness and, notwithstanding the dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of Borrower, Issuer and/or Pledgor or any other event or proceeding affecting Borrower, Issuer and/or Pledgor. 3.2 The obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be in addition to any obligations of Pledgor under any other grants or pledges of security for any liabilities or obligations of Borrower or any other Person heretofore or hereafter given to Secured Party in respect of the Loan unless said other grants or pledges of security are modified or revoked in writing and this Security Agreement shall not, unless herein provided, affect or invalidate any such other grants or pledges of security. ARTICLE 4 Acknowledgments; Waiver of Statute of Limitations; Reinstatement of Liability 4.1 In the event of any Event of Default under this Security Agreement, Pledgor acknowledges that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Pledgor whether action is brought against any other Person (including, without limitation, Borrower, Issuer or any other pledgor of security or collateral for the Loan) or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Pledgor further acknowledges that there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Security Agreement, and that this Security Agreement is in full force and effect and is binding on Pledgor as of the Effective Date, regardless of whether Secured Party obtains additional collateral or any guaranties from others or takes any other action. 4.2 Pledgor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Pledgor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof and Pledgor agrees that any payment of any Indebtedness or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to Pledgor’s liability hereunder. 4.3 The liability of Pledgor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of Secured Party shall continue if and to the extent for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any Indebtedness secured hereby is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by Secured Party, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be rescinded or 4 restored shall be made by Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that if Secured Party elects to contest any such matter at the request of Pledgor, Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless from and against all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, including, without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto, except for any costs and expenses resulting from Secured Party’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.

Any amount to be paid hereunder by Pledgor to Secured Party shall be a demand obligation owing by Pledgor to Secured Party and due from Pledgor to Secured Party within ten (10) business days after written demand therefor, after which time such amounts shall bear interest from the date of demand for reimbursement of such expenditure by Secured Party until paid at the Interest Rate under the Loan Agreement (or at the Default Rate under the Loan Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), and in all events such amounts shall be a part of the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Security Agreement. 6.6 In the event of the enactment after the Effective Date of any law of the State of Maryland or any other state having jurisdiction of any of the parties hereto or of the Collateral, that (i) imposes upon Secured Party the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by Pledgor, or (ii) changes in any way the laws relating to the taxation of security agreements or debts secured by security agreements or the Secured Party’s interest in the property covered thereby or the manner of collection of such taxes so as to adversely affect this Security Agreement, the Indebtedness or Secured Party (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, “Increased Expenses”), then, and in any such event to the extent such Increased Expenses arose or accrued prior to the Termination Date, Pledgor, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, shall pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or liens resulting therefrom, or reimburse Secured Party therefor to the extent any such expenses were incurred by Secured Party with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for Secured Party: (i) it might be unlawful to require Pledgor to make such payment; or, (ii) the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, then and in such event, Secured Party may elect, by notice in writing given to Pledgor, to declare all of the Indebtedness to be and become due and payable one hundred twenty (120) days from the giving of such notice. 6.7 If Pledgor fails to perform any act or to take any action which hereunder Pledgor is required to perform or take or to pay any money which Pledgor is required to pay hereunder, and same constitutes an Event of Default that remains uncured, Secured Party, in Pledgor’s name or in its own name, may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money and any expenses so incurred by Secured Party and any money so paid by Secured Party shall be a demand obligation owing by Pledgor and shall bear interest from the date of making demand for reimbursement of such payment until paid at the Default Rate under the Loan Agreement and shall be a part of the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Security Agreement and by any other instrument securing the Indebtedness and Secured Party, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the Person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment. 8 6.8 Pledgor shall execute and deliver such documents as Secured Party reasonably deems necessary to create, perfect and continue the security interests contemplated hereby. 6.9 Pledgor shall not change its chief place of business or the location of Pledgor’s records concerning the Collateral without first giving Secured Party prompt written notice following such change of the address to which Pledgor is moving its chief place of business and/or said records. 6.10 Pledgor shall not change its jurisdiction of organization without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 6.11 Pledgor shall not (and shall not permit or allow Issuer to), without first obtaining the prior written consent of Secured Party: (a) enter into any side letters or other agreements with respect to distributions or payments pertaining to or arising from the Pledged Equity Interests or any other the stock or equity interests in Issuer;

(b) as a condition precedent to such conversion or change, execute and deliver to Secured Party a pledge and security agreement (in form and content substantially similar to this Security Agreement) whereby the Collateral provided in this Security Agreement shall either be updated (if Issuer changes its state of domicile) or replaced with comparable collateral, as determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion (if Issuer is converted to any other type of entity);
