FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT 
 This Escrow

LLC (“Compass”), as representative of the Placement Agents (as defined below), NewLake Capital Partners (the “Company”) and CADENCE BANK, N.A., as escrow
agent (“Escrow Agent”). Compass and the Company are referred to herein, individually, as a “Party” and, together, as the “Parties.” 

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS,
the Parties have entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), whereby the Company will offer for sale shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“Securities”), pursuant to a prospectus included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-11 (Commission
File No. 333-257253) (the “Offering”), through Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc., Loop Capital Markets LLC and Compass, as placement agents (the
“Placement Agents”); 
 WHEREAS, the Parties propose to establish an escrow account (the “Escrow
Account”) to which subscription monies which are received by the Escrow Agent from the subscribers for the Securities (the “Investors”) or the Placement Agents in connection with the Offering
(the “Subscription Funds”) are to be credited; 
 WHEREAS, the Parties agree that the
Subscription Funds shall be held in the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and distributed, all in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement; and 

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent is not a party to, is not bound by, and has no duties or obligations
under the Placement Agency Agreement, that all references in this Escrow Agreement to the Placement Agency Agreement are for convenience, and that the Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties beyond the express duties set forth in this Escrow
Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1 

ESCROW AMOUNT 

Section 1.01. Receipt of Escrow Amount. The Investors and/or the Placement Agents will promptly
deliver the Subscription Funds to the Escrow Agent following the execution of this Escrow Agreement, in immediately available funds for deposit into the Escrow Account. Subscription Funds so deposited are hereinafter referred to as
“Escrow Amounts.” Upon such deposit of any Escrow Amount, the Escrow Agent shall send notice to the Parties confirming receipt of the Escrow Amount. The Escrow Account shall be held in trust and shall not be subject to any
lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Party. 

Section 1.02 Investments. 

(a) The Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to deposit, transfer, and hold the Escrow Amount contained in the Escrow Account, as set forth
in Exhibit A hereto. 
 (b) The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision,
recommendations or advice. 
 Section 1.03 Disbursements. The Escrow Agent shall distribute the
Escrow Amount solely as follows: 

 (a) Minimum Offering Amount; Instructions. In the event that the Escrow Agent
does not receive Subscription Funds of at least $                [NOTE: Insert minimum amount] prior to the Termination Date, or
if Compass notifies the Escrow Agent that the Offering has been terminated, the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund to each Investor the amount of Subscription Funds received from such Investor which is then held in the Escrow Account or which
thereafter clears the banking system, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom, provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not be required to provide any refund to any Investor until Compass has provided written notice to Escrow Agent by
which Compass identifies each Investor by name and address and provides each Investor’s funds transfer instructions including its bank name, bank address, ABA#, account name, and account number (each an “Investor
Notice”). Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not be liable for any refund provided to any Investor in accordance with, any Investor Notice even if an Investor Notice contains incorrect, incomplete or ambiguous
information. The Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and Compass of its distribution of such funds. The Subscription Funds returned to each Investor shall be free and clear of any and all claims of the Company or any of its creditors. 

In the event that the Escrow Agent does receive Subscription Funds of at least $
                 [NOTE: Insert minimum amount] prior to the Termination Date, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a written
instruction letter executed by Compass (the “Written Instructions”), the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to release, within one (1) Business Day, the Escrow Amount, or any portion thereof, in accordance
with such Written Instructions. 
 (b) Judgment Disbursements. Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a copy of a final, non-appealable order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas or any of the courts of the State of Texas, in each case located in the City of Dallas and County of
Dallas, or of any courts to which an appeal may be taken from such specified courts (a “Final Decision”) directing the distribution of amounts from the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall, promptly upon receipt of such
Final Decision, release the amounts in the Escrow Account or any portion thereof, within three (3) Business Days, as directed in such Final Decision. In the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such Final Decision, it shall
not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm, corporation or entity should, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding, such Final Decision be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. 

(c) Remaining Funds. If on August ___, 2021 (or such earlier date as Compass shall designate by written notice to the Escrow
Agent) (the “Termination Date”), the Escrow Agent has not received the Written Instructions, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund to each Investor the amount of Subscription Funds received from such Investor which is
then held in the Escrow Account or which thereafter clears the banking system, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom; provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not be required to provide any refund to any Investor until Compass has
provided an Investor Notice for each Investor. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not be liable for any refund provided to any Investor in accordance with, any Investor Notice even if an Investor Notice contains incorrect,
incomplete or ambiguous information. 
 (d) Form of Payment. All payments of the Escrow Amount or any portion
thereof shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto or to the accounts set forth in the Written Instructions or to the accounts set forth in the Investor Notices, as applicable. 

ARTICLE 2 
 PAYMENT
MATTERS 
 Section 2.01 Security Procedure For Funds Transfers. The Escrow Agent shall
confirm each funds transfer instruction received in the name of a Party by means of the security procedure selected by such Party and communicated to the Escrow Agent through a signed certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto, which upon receipt by the Escrow Agent shall become a part of this Escrow Agreement. Once delivered to the Escrow Agent, Exhibit B-1 may be revised or rescinded only by a writing signed by an authorized representative of the Party. Such revisions or rescissions shall be effective only after actual receipt and following such
period of time as may be necessary to afford the Escrow Agent a reasonable opportunity to act on it. If a revised Exhibit B-1 or a rescission of any
existing Exhibit B-1 is delivered to the Escrow Agent by an entity that is
a successor-in-interest to a Party, such document shall be accompanied by additional documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Escrow Agent showing that
such entity has succeeded to the rights and responsibilities of such Party under this Escrow Agreement. 

 The Parties understand that the Escrow Agent’s inability to receive or confirm funds
transfer instructions pursuant to the security procedure selected by such Party may result in a delay in accomplishing such funds transfer, and agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by any such delay. 

Section 2.02 Income Tax Allocation and Reporting. 

(a) Except as stated herein, the Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Amount but is serving as escrow holder only and having
only possession thereof. Any payments of income and principal from the Escrow Amount shall be subject to withholding and information reporting regulations then in force with respect to federal, state or local taxes. For federal and state income tax
purposes, the Company shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount and thus shall take into account in filing its income tax returns all items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to the Escrow Amount. If and to the extent any
amount of the Escrow Amount is actually distributed to Company, interest may be imputed on such amount, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 

(b) Prior to the closing of the Offering, each Party shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing
appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and/or such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may reasonably request. Each Party understands that if such
tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment
of the Escrow Amount. 
 (c) To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of any taxes in respect of the Escrow
Amount, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from the Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account. The Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest,
penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Escrow Amount and the investment thereof unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other expenses was directly caused by the gross
negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided by this Section 2.02(c) is in addition to the indemnification provided
in Section 4.01 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. 

Section 2.03 Termination. Upon the disbursement of all of the funds remaining in the Escrow
Account in accordance with Section 1.03, including any interest or earnings thereon, this Escrow Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. 

ARTICLE 3

THE ESCROW AGENT 
 Section 3.01 Scope of Responsibility. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary, the Escrow Agent is obligated only to perform the duties specifically set forth in this Escrow Agreement, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature. Under no circumstances will the Escrow Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary

convenience of the Parties, and the Escrow Agent has no duties or obligations with respect thereto. This Escrow Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the escrow, contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of the Escrow Agent shall
be inferred or implied from the terms of this Escrow Agreement or any other agreement.

share of the same at once upon presentation of any costs incurred by Escrow Agent; unless such loss, liability, cost, damage or expense shall have been finally adjudicated to have been caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud of

INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE,

court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the Parties. 

Section 4.04 Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as

involving any of the Parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow
Agent may, at its option, retain the Escrow Amount until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a
final non-appealable arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Amount or (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the Parties involved in such disagreement or dispute
directing delivery of the Escrow Amount, and in each of the cases above, the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Amount in accordance with such final court order, arbitration decision, or agreement, or (iii) files an
