The Company and the Manager are sometimes referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties". WHEREAS, the Company and the Manager are parties to that certain Management Services Agreement, dated as of January 23, 2026 (the “Prior Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety on the terms set forth herein; WHEREAS, the Company desires to engage the Manager to provide certain corporate-level advisory services as set forth in this Agreement; WHEREAS, the Manager has experience providing corporate accounting, reporting support, and related advisory services and is willing to provide such services on the terms set forth herein; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein, the Parties agree to amend and restate the Prior Agreement as follows: 1. SERVICES 1.1 Scope. The Manager shall provide the Company with the services described in Exhibit A (the “Services”). The Services are intended to be performed at the Company’s corporate level (not the investment or property level), with appropriate coordination with CBRE or the Company’s designated service providers where needed. If the Company requests Manager to perform services that are substantially out of the scope of these Services (“Out-of-Scope”), the Manager may elect to perform such services, in its discretion, for the compensation described in Section 3. 1.2 Requests and Priorities. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (or other designated officer) will be the primary point of contact for directing the Services, setting priorities, and approving deliverables. 1.3 Exclusions. Unless separately agreed in writing, the Services do not include investment/property-level bookkeeping, valuation work, asset management, investment committee functions, or legal advice, other than coordination and information flow required for corporate reporting and filings. 2. TERM AND TERMINATION 2.1 This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue through July 12, 2026 and on a month-to-month basis thereafter, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. 2.2 Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement as of any time after July 12, 2026 for any reason or no reason upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party. In addition, this Agreement shall terminate automatically if that certain Management Services Agreement dated January 23, 2026, between Pacific Oak SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. and Manager is terminated. Upon such event, all accrued and scheduled amounts through the effective termination date shall be immediately due. 2.3 Termination for Cause. Each Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other party materially breaches this Agreement, such as non-payment or breaches of confidentiality, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) days after receiving written notice. 3. FEES; EXPENSES; PAYMENT From the Effective Date going forward, the Company shall pay the Manager $10,000.00 per month during the term of this Agreement for services performed under this Agreement, in addition to any ordinary-course out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing the Services. All Out-of-Scope Services, if and when performed in the Manager’s discretion upon the request of the Company, shall be billed at a rate of $575.00 per hour, invoiced monthly. Nothing herein shall be construed to require the Manager to perform any Out-of-Scope Services, and the Manager shall have no obligation to perform any Out-of-Scope Services. All amounts invoiced pursuant to this Section shall be due and payable in accordance with the payment terms of this Agreement. The Manager shall invoice monthly on or around the first business day of each month. Except Out-of-Scope Services, all fees are due in advance on the 1st, unless specified in this agreement, and given a five (5) business day grace period. Out-of-Scope Services are due within five (5) business days of the invoice. Late and/or past-due amounts will accrue interest at the lesser of (a) 1.0% per month and (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Any dispute must be raised in writing within 3 business days of invoice; otherwise deemed undisputed. Company must pay the undisputed portion on time. If any undisputed amount remains unpaid more than ten (10) days after written notice of delinquency, the Manager may partially suspend performance of the Services (including high-effort deliverables) until paid, without liability. 4. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES 4.1 Independent Contractor. The Manager is an independent contractor and is not an agent, partner, joint venturer, trustee, fiduciary, or representative of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any fiduciary duty or fiduciary relationship under Delaware law (including Delaware common law and any applicable statute) or otherwise. The Manager shall have only the duties expressly set forth in this Agreement and owes no duties to the Company or any other person except as expressly stated herein. The Manager shall not have authority to bind the Company or to act for or on behalf of the Company unless the Company expressly authorizes such action in writing for a particular matter, and the Company retains all final decision-making authority. 4.2 Personnel. The Manager may use employees or subcontractors to perform the Services, provided that the Manager remains responsible for their performance and compliance with this Agreement. 4.3 Executive Officers. The provisions of Section 4.1 and 4.2 shall not apply with respect to any executive officer support described in Exhibit A; any such officers shall perform their duties to the Company in accordance with applicable law. 5. CONFIDENTIALITY; WORK PRODUCT 5.1 Confidentiality. During and after the Term, each Party shall keep confidential and not disclose the other Party’s non-public business, financial, technical, and other confidential information (“Confidential Information”), except as required to perform this Agreement, with the other Party’s consent, or as required by law or regulation. Each Party shall use at least reasonable care to protect Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall have the right, without further consent, approval, or restriction, to communicate directly and freely with the Company’s affiliates, suppliers, vendors, auditors, regulators, and other third parties as the Manager reasonably determines necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the Services, subject only to applicable law. Additionally, the parties acknowledge that the Company has certain regulatory and other requirements as a reporting company and shall be permitted to communicate with its affiliates and others to make public filings as required under all applicable laws and no policy, instruction, or agreement with any third party shall limit or condition such right. 5.2 Compelled Disclosure. If a Party is required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request to disclose Confidential Information, it shall (to the extent permitted) provide prompt notice to the other Party and reasonably cooperate in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. 5.3 Work Product; Workpapers. Subject to the Company’s payment of all amounts due, the Company will own all final deliverables specifically created for the Company under this Agreement (“Deliverables”). The Manager may retain copies of workpapers, templates, and know-how developed or used in providing the Services, provided that the Manager continues to treat all Company confidential information as confidential. 6. INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 6.1 Company Indemnity. The Company shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Manager and its partners, officers, employees, affiliates, and agents from and against any third-party claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to the Services or this Agreement, except to the extent resulting from the Manager’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. 6.2 Limitation of Liability.

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. 8.6 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.
