 FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT 
 BETWEEN CNL INCOME PROPERTIES, INC. 
 AND WACHOVIA BANK, NA 
 THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated this      day of April, 2006, by and among CNL INCOME PROPERTIES,
INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), CNL SECURITIES CORP., a Florida Corporation (the “Managing Dealer”), and Wachovia Bank, NA (the “Escrow Agent”). This Agreement shall be effective as of the effective date
of the Company’s Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Date”). 
 WHEREAS,
the Company proposes to offer and sell, on a best-efforts basis through the Managing Dealer and selected broker-dealers who are registered with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or who are exempt from broker-dealer registration
(the Managing Dealer and such selected broker-dealers are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Soliciting Dealers”), up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) to investors pursuant to a
registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and 
 WHEREAS, the
Company and the Managing Dealer desire to establish an escrow in which funds received from subscribers will be deposited and the Escrow Agent is willing to serve as Escrow Agent upon the terms and conditions herein set forth; and 
 WHEREAS, in order to subscribe for Shares, a subscriber must deliver the full amount of its subscription, subject to volume discounts or net of
commission sales as applicable: (i) by check in U.S. dollars, (ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, or (iii) as otherwise agreed to by the Company (collectively, the “Payment”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged
by the parties, the parties covenant and agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Establishment of Escrow Accounts. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Company and the Managing Dealer shall establish an interest-bearing escrow account with the Escrow
Agent, which escrow account shall be entitled “WBNA, ESCROW AGENT FOR CNL INCOME PROPERTIES, INC.” (the “Escrow Account”). All monies deposited in the Escrow Account are hereinafter referred to as the “Escrowed Funds.”
The Managing Dealer will, and will cause selected broker-dealers acting as Soliciting Dealers to, instruct subscribers to make Payments for subscriptions payable to the order of the Escrow Agent or the Company. The Managing Dealer may authorize
certain Soliciting Dealers which are “$250,000 broker-dealers” to instruct their customers to make their Payments for Shares subscribed for payable directly to the Soliciting Dealer. In such case, the Soliciting Dealer will collect the
proceeds of the subscribers’ Payments and issue a Payment made payable to the order of the Escrow Agent for the aggregate amount of the subscription proceeds. 

  

	2.	Deposits into the Escrow Account. The Managing Dealer will promptly deliver all monies received from subscribers for the payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit in
the Escrow Account. 

  

	3.	Collection Procedure. 

  

	 	(a)	The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to forward each Payment for collection and, upon collection of the proceeds of each Payment, to deposit the collected proceeds in the Escrow
Account or, alternatively, the Escrow Agent may telephone the bank on which the Payment is drawn to confirm that the Payment has been paid. 

  

	 	(b)	Any Payment returned unpaid to the Escrow Agent shall be returned to the Soliciting Dealer that submitted the Payment. In such cases the Escrow Agent will promptly notify the
Company of such return.

	 	(c)	In the event that the Company rejects any subscription for Shares and, the Escrow agent has already collected funds for such subscription, the Escrow Agent shall promptly issue a
refund Payment to the drawer of the Payment submitted by or on behalf of the rejected or withdrawing subscriber. If the Escrow Agent has not yet collected funds for such subscription but has submitted the Payment relating to such subscription for
collection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly issue a Payment in the amount of such Payment to the rejected or withdrawing subscriber after the Escrow Agent has cleared such funds. If the Escrow Agent has not yet submitted the Payment relating to the
subscription of the rejected or withdrawing subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall promptly remit such Payment directly to the drawer of the Payment submitted by or on behalf of the subscriber. 

  

	4.	Investment of Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent, immediately upon receipt of each Payment remitted to it, shall deposit such Payment in a bank account (including, but not
limited to, interest-bearing savings accounts and bank money market account), in short-term certificates of deposit issued by a bank, in short-term securities directly or indirectly issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, or in other
short-term, highly liquid investments with appropriate safety of principal, all as directed by the Company. Interest and dividends earned on such investments shall be similarly reinvested. Following the distribution of Escrowed Funds to the Company
pursuant to Paragraph 5 below, any funds remaining in the Escrow Account shall be invested in bank money market funds or similar instruments as directed by the Company. 

  

	5.	Distribution of Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account to the Company any and all Escrowed Funds therein together with all interest earned
thereon, upon written request of an officer of the Company. 

  

	6.	Indemnification of Escrow Agent. From and at all times after the date of this Escrow Agreement, the Managing Dealer and the Company, jointly and severally, shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions,
claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the
Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any
person, including without limitation the Managing Dealer or the Company, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any
federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Escrow Agreement or any transactions
contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be
indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party
shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by the the Managing Dealer and
the Company jointly and severally. The obligations of the Managing Dealer and the Company under this Section 6 shall survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent. 

 The parties agree that neither the payment by the Managing Dealer or the Company of any claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification hereunder nor the
disbursement of any amounts to Escrow Agent from the Escrow Funds in respect of a claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification shall impair, limit, modify, or affect, as between the Managing Dealer and the Company, the respective rights and obligations
of the Managing Dealer, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, under the Underlying Agreement.

banking channels within 120 days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall deliver such uncleared Payments to the Company.
