Note 1 - Organization

NewLake Capital Partners, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was formed on April 9, 2019, originally as GreenAcreage Real Estate Corp. (“GARE”). The Company is an internally managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) focused on providing long-term, single-tenant, triple-net sale-leaseback and build-to-suit transactions for the cannabis industry. The Company conducts its operations through its subsidiary, NLCP Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP”). The Company is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company's common stock trades on the OTCQX® Best Market operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the symbol “NLCP”.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, as well as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any future period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2024. In management's opinion, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company consolidates a VIE in which it is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

NLCP Operating Partnership LP

The Operating Partnership is a VIE because the holders of limited partnership interests do not have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Furthermore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership because it has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the Operating Partnership and the exclusive power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same, as the Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management will adjust such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. Such

estimates include, but are not limited to, useful lives for depreciation of property and corporate assets, the fair value of acquired real estate and in-place lease intangibles acquired, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the Company's current year presentation.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company's accounting policies included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Impairment

The Company did not identify any situations in its review of tenant activities and changes in the business condition of all of its properties that would require the recognition of an impairment loss. Accordingly, the Company did not record an impairment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 4 - Leases

As Lessor

The Company's properties are leased to single tenants on a long-term, triple-net basis, which obligates the tenant to be responsible for the ongoing expenses of a property, in addition to its rent obligations. Under certain circumstances the Company will pay for certain expenses on behalf of the tenant and the tenant is required to reimburse the Company. The presentation in the statements of operations for these expenses are gross where the Company records revenue and a corresponding reimbursable expense. Expenses paid directly by a tenant are not reimbursable and therefore not reflected in the statement of operations. The expense and reimbursable amounts may differ due to timing. The revenues associated with the reimbursable expenses were classified in "Fees and Reimbursables" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the reimbursable revenues were $299.8 thousand and $83.1 thousand, respectively. Reimbursable expenses are classified as "Property Expenses" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company's tenants operate in the cannabis industry. All of the Company's leases generally contain annual increases in rent (typically between 2% and 3%) over the expiring rental rate at the time of expiration. Certain leases of the Company also contain a Tenant Improvement Allowance (“TIA”). TIA is generally available to be funded between 12 and 18 months. In some leases, the tenant becomes liable to pay rent as if the full TIA has been funded, even if there are still unfunded commitments. TIA also contains annual increases which generally increase at the same rate as base rent, per the lease agreement. Certain of the Company's leases provide the lessee with a right of first refusal or right of first offer in the event the Company markets the leased property for sale. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company granted Calypso a purchase option to purchase the leased property and during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the tenant was out of compliance with certain provisions of the lease

and as a result the purchase option was terminated. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had two leases that provided the lessee with a purchase option to purchase the leased property at the end of the initial lease term in December 2029, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The purchase option provision allows the lessee to purchase the leased property for an amount based on the fair market value of the Company's investment. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's gross investment in these two properties was approximately $6.3 million.

Credit Risk and Geographic Concentration

The ability of any of the Company’s tenants to honor the terms of its lease are dependent upon the economic, regulatory, competitive, natural and social factors affecting the community in which that tenant operates. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 31 properties leased to 13 tenants across 12 states including Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

The annual rent payments range from approximately $72.0 thousand in year one to approximately $85.0 thousand in year four. The office lease qualifies under the right-of-use ("ROU") model. Upon entering into the lease in June 2022, the Company recorded a ROU asset of $273 thousand which was classified in “Other Assets” and a lease liability, which is classified in "Other Liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The ROU balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were approximately $161.2 thousand and $177.4 thousand, respectively. The ROU asset is amortized over the remaining lease term. The amortization is made up of the principal amortization under the lease liability plus or minus the straight-line adjustment of the operating lease rent.

Loan Receivable

The Company funded a $5.0 million unsecured loan to Bloom Medicinals on June 10, 2022. The loan initially bore interest at a rate of 10.25% and is structured to increase annually in April by the product of 1.0225 times the interest rate in effect immediately prior to the anniversary date. The loan is interest only for the first four years and can be prepaid at any time without penalty. If full principal payment on the loan is not made on June 30, 2026, the loan will begin amortizing principal and interest over the next five years, with a final maturity of June 30, 2031. The loan is cross defaulted with their lease agreement with the Company.

Note 9 - Stock Based Compensation (continued)

Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting. The vested RSUs are also entitled to receive an accumulated dividend payment equal to the dividend paid on each share of common stock during the vesting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $33.1 thousand and $8.7 thousand respectively, of accumulated dividends that became earned upon vesting of RSUs. Accrued unearned dividends on unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $114,473 and $60,760, respectively.

The amortization of compensation costs for the awards of RSUs are classified in "Compensation Expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and amounted to approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $0.8 million for RSU awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 1.5 years as of March 31, 2024.

Performance Stock Units

PSUs are granted to officers and certain employees of the Company. Total outstanding PSUs as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 159,522 and 121,858, respectively.

The following table sets forth the Company's unvested performance stock activity for the three months ended March 31,:

PSUs vest subject to the achievement of relative total shareholder return as measured against a peer group of companies and absolute compounded annual growth in stock price during each performance period. The actual number of shares of common stock issued will range from 0 to 319,044 depending upon performance. The performance periods are January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and 47,983, 55,017 and 56,522 PSUs are scheduled to vest at the end of each performance period, respectively.

The fair value of PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation for our future stock price and the corresponding peer group. The grant date fair value is an equally weight value comprised of (i) total shareholder return of the Company and a peer group of companies (“rTSR”); and (ii) the Company’s absolute compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”). To derive the value of rTSR, the Company uses a stochastic stock price simulation model using Geometric Brownian Motion (“GBM”) to model the future stock prices of the Company and the peer group companies. The key inputs to the GBM model include the standard deviation of the movement of the share price, also expressed as stock price volatility. Historical volatility is analyzed for the Company and peer group companies based on publicly traded shares of common stock. The model also assists in deriving a value of the Company’s CAGR which is then subjected to the vesting percentages according to the terms of the PSU agreements. The key inputs to calculate CAGR are the ending stock price, initial stock price and vesting period. The GBM simulates the ending stock price that is used in the CAGR model to determine the grant date fair value.

Note 9 - Stock Based Compensation (continued)

Using the above methodology, grant date fair values of $24.00, $11.23 and $17.30 were used for PSUs with performance periods ending December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. PSUs are subject to restrictions on transfer and may be subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company prior to vesting of the award.

Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting. Upon vesting, each PSU is also entitled to receive an accumulated dividend payment equal to the dividend paid on each share of common stock during the performance period. If PSUs do not meet the performance hurdles and are cancelled, no dividends are paid on the cancelled units. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no PSUs vested and therefore the Company did not pay any dividends. Unearned dividends on unvested PSUs as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $311,084 and $164,496, respectively.

The amortization of compensation costs for the awards of PSUs are included in "Compensation Expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and amounted to approximately $0.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $1.5 million for PSU awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 2.1 years as of March 31, 2024.

Stock Options

Prior to the completion of the initial public offering ("IPO"), the Company issued 791,790 nonqualified stock options (the “Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable option grant agreements, with an exercise price per share of common stock equal to $24.00 and in such amounts as set forth in the option grant agreements. The Options vested on August 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Options were fully exercisable and expire on July 15, 2027.

Note 10 - Warrants

Warrants Issued

On March 17, 2021, the Company entered into a warrant agreement which granted the holder the right to purchase 602,392 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $24.00 per share.

Under the forbearance agreement, the Company provided forbearance of delinquent rent and received warrants. The warrants are accounted for under ASC 321. The Company elected to use the measurement alternative to value its investment in warrants, since the fair value was not readily determinable. The investment in warrants is classified in “Other Assets” in the consolidated balance sheets at its initial cost value of $522 thousand. The cost value was determined based upon the implied recapitalized equity value of Revolutionary Clinics.

The authorization of the stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. On September 15, 2023, the board of directors authorized an amendment to the stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional $10.0 million of outstanding common stock and extended the stock repurchase program through December 31, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the effect of 791,790 and 615,838 outstanding stock options and warrants, respectively, were excluded in the Company's calculation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not include the effect of 159,522 and 121,858 outstanding PSUs, respectively in the calculation of earnings per share. The effect of the outstanding PSUs were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the market condition for the PSUs have not been met as of March 31, 2024.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of financial instruments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

	March 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Note Receivable(1)	$	4,848	$	4,725	$	4,833	$	4,748

Loan Payable(2)(3)	$	—	$	—	$	1,000	$	992

(1) The fair value measurement of the $5.0 million Note Receivable is based on unobservable inputs, and as such, is classified as Level 3. The carrying value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflects the provision for current expected credit loss of $152.3 thousand and $166.7 thousand , respectively.

(2) The fair value of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and Loan Payable are based on observable inputs, and as such, are classified as Level 2.

(3) The Company made its final installment payment on our loan payable on January 3, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s investment in warrants was valued based on the initial investment, less impairment. The Company determined the investment was not impaired as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Since these securities are not actively traded, the Company will apply valuation adjustments if and when such indicators become available. As such, these securities are carried at    cost and are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the generally short-term nature and the market rates of interest of these instruments. As such, these financial instruments are classified as Level 1.

Note 14 - Income Taxes

As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions to its stockholders, and provided it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution, and stock ownership tests. The state and local tax jurisdictions for which the Company is subject to tax-filing obligations recognize the Company’s status as a REIT, and therefore, the Company generally does not pay income tax in such jurisdictions. The Company may, however, be subject to certain minimum state and local tax filing fees as well as certain excise, franchise, or business taxes.

Taxable REIT Subsidiaries

In October 2023, the Company elected to treat a domestic subsidiary as a TRS. The TRS is subject to U.S. federal,

state and local corporate income taxes at the current federal statutory rate of 21%. The Company’s effective tax

rate differs from its combined U.S. federal, state and local corporate statutory tax rate primarily due to income earned at the REIT, which is not subject to tax, due to the deduction for qualifying distributions made by the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the TRS had limited activity and did not generate taxable income.

Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments to invest approximately $6.5 million to develop and improve our existing cultivation facilities in Arizona, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. Refer to Note 3 for further details on the Company's commitments. Refer to Note 16- “Subsequent Events” for details on commitments the Company entered into after March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024 the Company is the lessee under one office lease. Refer to Note 4 for further information.

The Company owns a portfolio of properties that it leases to entities which cultivate, harvest, process and distribute cannabis. Cannabis is an illegal substance under the Controlled Substances Act. Although the operations of the Company’s tenants are legalized in the states and local jurisdictions in which they operate, the Company and its tenants are subject to certain risks and uncertainties associated with conducting operations subject to conflicting federal, state and local laws in an industry with a complex regulatory environment which is continuously evolving. These risks and uncertainties include the risk that the strict enforcement of federal laws regarding cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability, and the inability of its tenants, to execute their respective business plans.

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

In May 2024, the Company purchased a cultivation facility in Connecticut for approximately $4.0 million and committed to fund $12.0 million for tenant improvements. The property is leased to an existing tenant.

Tenant Improvements

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company funded approximately $1.9 million of tenant improvements for its cultivation facilities in Arizona and Missouri.

Overview

NewLake Capital Partners, Inc., ("the “Company,” "we," "our," "us,") is an internally managed REIT and a leading provider of real estate capital to state-licensed cannabis operators primarily through sale-leaseback transactions, third-party purchases and funding for build-to-suit projects. Our properties are leased to single tenants on a long-term, triple-net basis, which obligates the tenant for the ongoing expenses of the leased property, in addition to its rent obligations.

We were incorporated in Maryland on April 9, 2019. We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership REIT structure, in which properties are owned by an operating partnership, directly or through subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and currently own approximately 98% of the OP Units. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 and intend to operate our business so as to continue to qualify as a REIT.

As of March 31, 2024, we owned a geographically diversified portfolio consisting of 31 properties, across 12 states with 13 tenants, comprised of 17 dispensaries and 14 cultivation facilities.

Emerging Growth Company

We have elected to be an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company, among other things:

•We are exempt from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

•We are permitted to provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and

•We are not required to give our stockholders non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

We have elected to use an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We may take advantage of the other provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.2 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period, or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering.

Factors Impacting Our Operating Results

Our results of operations are affected by a number of factors and depend on the rental revenue we receive from the properties that we own, interest income we receive from the loans we originate, the timing of lease expirations, general

25

market conditions, the regulatory environment in the cannabis industry, and the competitive environment for real estate assets that support the cannabis industry.

Rental Revenues

We generate rental income from our real estate properties that we own and from any real estate properties that we expect to acquire in the future. The amount of rental income depends upon a number of factors, including:

•Our ability to enter into new leases at market value rents inclusive of annual rent increases; and

•Rent collection, which primarily relates to each of our current and future tenant’s or guarantor’s financial condition and ability to make rent payments to us on time.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, all of our rental income was derived from triple-net leases to 13 tenants. Our leases include a parent or other affiliate guarantee and obligate the tenant for all the ongoing expenses of a property, including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities. Our rental income is, therefore, dependent on our tenants (and related guarantors) ability to meet their respective obligations to us. Our tenants operate in the cannabis industry. Changes in current state or local laws in the cannabis industry may impair our ability to renew or re-lease properties and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease obligations and could materially and adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates for our properties. Further, because the regulated cannabis industry is a relatively new space, some of our existing tenants have limited operating histories and may be more susceptible to payment and other lease defaults. Thus, our operating results will be significantly impacted by the ability of our tenants to achieve and sustain positive financial results.

Financial Performance and Condition of Our Tenants

We have 31 properties, leased to 13 tenants. All of our tenants are performing under their lease agreement as of March 31, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, financial markets exhibited remarkable stability, building upon the momentum from the previous year. Despite the prevailing uncertainties, the Federal Reserve maintained its stance by leaving interest rates unchanged. However, the central bank’s forward guidance has been resolute: higher rates are anticipated for an extended period, and any contemplation of rate cuts remains off the table for now. The primary driver behind this cautious approach is the ongoing battle against inflation, which has pushed borrowing costs to their loftiest levels in over two decades. For U.S. corporations, this environment translates into mounting pressure on the cost of capital. As interest rates persistently hover at elevated levels, businesses find themselves grappling with reduced access to capital. The availability and cost of capital for both our Company and our tenants have increased, necessitating prudent financial management strategies.

Regulatory Update

On April 30, 2024, the Justice Department confirmed that the Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") plans to move marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act ("CSA"), a list of completely prohibited drugs, to Schedule III, which includes prescription medications such as ketamine, Tylenol with codeine, and anabolic steroids. The change was based on an August 2023 recommendation by the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"). We believe this significant shift could result in material tax savings for tenants, potentially leading to increased cash flows for their businesses. Moreover, we believe this pivotal move by the federal government could stimulate additional investment in the sector, potentially enabling operators to strengthen their balance sheets, thus enhancing the industry's credit quality, including our tenant base.

In summary, while we believe the rescheduling announcement represents a significant milestone, it is one step in a lengthy process that will likely take many more months before a final rule is issued. Although moving marijuana to Schedule III should facilitate medical research and should provide a financial boost to the cannabis industry, it will leave federal law essentially untouched.

26

Inflation and Supply Chain Constraints

Inflation continues to trend higher than in prior periods, which may be negatively impacting some of our tenants. This inflation has impacted costs for labor and production inputs for regulated cannabis operators, in addition to increasing costs of construction for development and redevelopment projections. Ongoing labor shortages with global supply chain issues and geopolitical issues also continue to adversely impact costs and timing for completion of these development and redevelopment projects, which may result in cost overruns and delays in commencing operations on certain of our tenants' projects.

Competitive Environment

We face competition from a diverse mix of market participants, including but not limited to, other companies with similar business models, independent investors, hedge funds and other real estate investors, mortgage REITs, hard money lenders, as well as would-be tenants and cannabis operators themselves, all of whom may compete with us in our efforts to acquire real estate zoned for cannabis cultivation, production or dispensary operations. Competition from others may diminish our opportunities to acquire a desired property on favorable terms or at all. In addition, this competition may put pressure on us to reduce the rental rates below those that we expect to charge for the properties that we own and expect to acquire, which would adversely affect our financial results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In accordance with GAAP, our consolidated financial statements require the use of estimates and assumptions that involve the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions. Our most critical accounting policies will involve decisions and assessments that could affect our reported assets and liabilities, as well as our reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

We believe that all of the decisions and assessments upon which our consolidated financial statements have been based were reasonable at the time made and based upon information available to us at that time. There have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenues

Rental Income

Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by approximately $1.0 million to approximately $12.1 million, compared to approximately $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in rental income was mainly attributable to:

•A full quarter of rental income from exercising our option to acquire the adjacent land parcel to expand one of our existing cultivation facilities in Missouri during the first quarter of 2023, which generated approximately $0.1 million of rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

•Funding of tenant improvements at our Arizona, Missouri and Pennsylvania cultivation facilities which generated approximately $0.4 million of additional rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

•Annual escalations on our portfolio which generated an increase of approximately $0.2 million of rental revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

•A full quarter of rental income from one tenant that did not perform during the first quarter of 2023. We applied $315 thousand of the tenant's security deposit during the first quarter of 2023 and collected full rent for the first quarter of 2024 which generated an increase of $0.4 million of rental income.

These increases were offset by a decrease of a full quarter of rental income of approximately $0.1 million related to the sale of a cultivation facility in Massachusetts in October 2023 and a decrease of a full quarter of rental income of approximately $0.1 million which is a result of a reduction in contractual base rent per lease modifications in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Interest income from loans was relatively flat quarter over quarter.

Fees and Reimbursables

Fees and reimbursables for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by approximately $219 thousand to $350 thousand, compared to approximately $131 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in fees associated with our leases and the timing of reimbursable expenses related to TI fundings.

Expenses

Property Expenses

The Company will pay for certain expenses on behalf of the tenant and the tenant is required to reimburse the Company. The expense and reimbursable amounts may differ due to timing. Property expenses were relatively flat quarter over quarter.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively flat quarter over quarter.

General and Administrative Expenses

The increase in general and administrative expense is described below by category.

Compensation Expense

Compensation expense includes compensation to employees and officers of the Company and stock-based compensation awards. Compensation expense increased by approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to stock based compensation expense for 2024 RSU and PSU grants.

30

Professional Fees

Professional fees generally include fees paid for audit, tax, legal and consulting services. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, professional fees increased by approximately $0.1 million to approximately $0.4 million compared to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily related to tax fees paid for the preparation of 2023 entity tax returns and consulting fees paid for officer employment contract and compensation advice.

Other General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other general and administrative expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million to approximately $0.4 million compared to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was a result of lower state and local taxes and associated fees, director and officer insurance premiums and fees paid for public relations and branding. Other general and administrative expenses is primarily comprised of director and officer insurance, information technology fees, public relations fees, filing and regulatory fees, reporting fees, corporate rent and various other expenses.

Provision for Current Expected Credit Loss

We used a discounted cash flow model to determine an expected credit loss on our loan receivable. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a reduction in the provision for current expected credit loss of approximately $14 thousand which resulted in the allowance for credit loss to be $152.3 thousand as of March 31, 2024.

Other Income (Expense)

Other Income

Interest income decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2024 by approximately $120 thousand, to $100 thousand compared to $220 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to lower cash balances in our money market accounts as we primarily used cash liquidity to fund TI and pay dividends. Refer to the "Summary of Cash Flows" below for further information.

Interest Expense

Interest expense remained relatively flat quarter over quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Other Metrics

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as alternatives to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of our operating performance. We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

We calculate FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by an entity. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do and therefore our computation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We calculate AFFO by starting with FFO and adjusting for non-cash and certain non-recurring transactions, including non-cash components of compensation expense and the effect of provisions for credit loss. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner as we do and therefore our calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance;

nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

The table below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders	$	6,869	$	5,868
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests	125		102
Net Income	6,994		5,970

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements include the payment of dividends, to our shareholders, distributions to our holders of OP Units ("OP Unitholders"), general and administrative expenses, debt service, other expenses related to managing our existing portfolio as well as acquisition and unfunded tenant commitments. The sources of liquidity to fund these cash requirements include rental revenue from the leasing of our properties, which is our primary source of cash flow, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and equity and debt issuances either in the public or private markets, if markets permit. Where possible, we also may issue limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") to acquire properties from existing owners seeking a tax-deferred transaction.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $107.5 million of liquidity comprised of $21.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $86.0 million available on our $90.0 million revolving credit facility, subject to sufficient collateral in the borrowing base. The challenges posed by the increase in interest rates and inflation could adversely impact our cash flow from continuing operations but we expect that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months, together with cash on hand, will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash dividends to our shareholders, distributions to our OP Unitholders and debt service. Acquisitions and unfunded tenant improvement costs may require funding from borrowings, equity issuance and/or issuance of OP Units. We cannot, however, be certain that these sources of funds will be available at a time and upon terms acceptable to us in sufficient amounts in the future.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in our consolidated financial statements and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	10,042	$	8,237
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities	$	(7,894)	$	(1,752)
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities	$	(6,445)	$	(10,179)
Cash and Cash Equivalents - End of Period	$	21,546	$	41,498

32

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $10.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were primarily related to contractual rent received from our properties, partially offset by our general and administrative expenses.

Cash Used in Investing Activities:

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2023 were approximately $7.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to approximately $7.9 million used to fund tenant improvements at our cultivation facilities in Arizona and Missouri. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to $350.0 thousand used to exercise our option to purchase an adjacent parcel of land by an existing cultivation facility in Missouri and approximately $1.4 million used to fund tenant improvements at our cultivation facilities in Arizona and Missouri.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities:

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2023 were approximately $6.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, related to approximately $8.4 million in dividend payments to holders of our common stock and dividend payments on vested RSUs, as well as distributions to OP Unitholders, $1.0 million to pay down our loan payable and approximately $46 thousand of cash paid for taxes in lieu of issuance of common stock offset by $3.0 million drawn on our Revolving Credit Facility. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were related to approximately $8.5 million in dividend payments to holders of our common stock and vested RSUs, as well as distributions to OP Units holders, $1.0 million to pay down our loan payable, approximately $0.6 million to buy back stock under the stock repurchase program and approximately $45 thousand in deferred financing costs related to updating our Revolving Credit Facility.

Dividends

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding capital gains. We must pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our taxable income. We evaluate each quarter to determine our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders based on our net taxable income if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors. Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service payments. If our cash available for distribution is less than our net taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make cash distributions or we may make a portion of the required distribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution.

As a result of this distribution requirement, our Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its ongoing operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we declared, and our board of directors approved, cash dividends on our common stock and restricted stock units and in our capacity as general partner of our Operating Partnership, authorized distributions on our OP Units of $0.41 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we declared, and our board of directors approved, cash dividends on our common stock and restricted stock units and in our capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, authorized distributions on our OP Units totaling $0.39 per share.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Unfunded Commitments

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments of $6.5 million to develop and improve our existing cultivation facilities in Arizona, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.

33

Corporate Office Lease

As of March 31, 2024, we were the lessee under one office lease for a term of four years, subject to annual escalations. The annual rent payments range from approximately $72 thousand in year one to approximately $85 thousand in year four. The office lease has a remaining weighted average term of approximately 2.4 years.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2024, we had $4.0 million drawn on our Revolving Credit Facility which bears interest at a rate of 5.65% per annum.

Adoption of New or Revised Accounting Standards

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, we had $4.0 million principal drawn on our Revolving Credit Facility, at a fixed interest rate of 5.65% through May 2025 and a floating rate thereafter. Therefore, if interest rates decrease, our required interest payments may exceed those based on current market rates. If interest rates remain higher for longer, our cost of financing will significantly increase when the Revolving Credit facility adjusts to a floating rate in May 2025. We may choose to mitigate such interest rate risk through the use of interest rate derivative instruments.

Impact of Inflation

The U.S. economy has experienced an increase in inflation over the past two years. We enter into leases that generally provide for annual fixed increases in rent at a fixed rate. In some instances, leases provide for annual increases in rent based on the increase in annual CPI. We expect these lease provisions to result in rent increases over time. During times when inflation is greater than increases in rent, as provided for in the leases, rent increases may not keep up with the rate of inflation.

Seasonality

Our business is not, and we do not expect our business to be, subject to material seasonal fluctuations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

In the commercial real estate market, property prices generally continue to fluctuate. Likewise, during certain periods, the U.S. credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations, and liquidity disruptions, which may impact our access to and cost of capital. We continually monitor the commercial real estate and U.S. credit markets carefully and, if required, will make decisions to adjust our business strategy accordingly.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (the CFO), reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed, (1) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under

34

the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (2) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

Limitations on Controls

Our system of internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

35

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may in the future be a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, dated March 11, 2024, filed with the SEC. Our business involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as disclosed in our Annual Report. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report are not the only ones we face. Additional risk and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. The realization of any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, growth and future prospects as well as our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

36

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND ISSUER PURCHASE OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

On November 7, 2022, our board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program, to repurchase up to $10.0 million of our outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). Such authorization has an expiration date of December 31, 2023. On September 15, 2023, the board of directors authorized an amendment to the Repurchase Program for the repurchase of up to an additional $10.0 million of its outstanding common stock and extended the program through December 31, 2024. The Company did not acquire any shares of common stock pursuant to the Repurchase Program during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The remaining availability under the program as of March 31, 2024 was approximately $8.2 million.

The following is a summary of common shares repurchased and shares withheld from our employees to satisfy certain tax obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2024:

EX-10.1

Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between NewLake Capital Partners, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and Lisa Meyer (the “Executive”) as of March 7, 2024.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive previously entered into that certain employment agreement dated as of May 13, 2022 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Prior Employment Agreement provides for an initial two-year term that is scheduled to automatically renew for a period of two years on June 13, 2024 unless either party gives the other party written notice at least 90 days prior to the end of the initial term;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to enter into a new one-year term of employment and otherwise amend and restate the Prior Employment Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive as its Chief Financial Officer and the Executive desires to serve in such capacity on behalf of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.Employment.

(a)The term of this Agreement shall begin on June 13, 2024 (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for one (1) year, unless the Executive’s employment is sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Unless earlier terminated, the term of this Agreement shall automatically renew for periods of one (1) year unless either party gives the other party written notice at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-existing term that the term of this Agreement shall not be further extended. The period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date on which the term of this Agreement terminates or expires is referred to herein as the “Term.” The Company’s non-renewal of this Agreement at the end of the Term shall not constitute termination without Cause (as defined below) or Good Reason (as defined below), including for purposes of (and as defined in) all equity award agreements entered into before or after the date of this Agreement, provided that for the sake of clarity, all equity award agreements entered into before the date of this Agreement shall continue as provided in such agreements, other than as expressly provided herein. The Executive’s employment shall be covered by the terms of this Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date, and shall continue until the Executive’s employment terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 6 of this Agreement.

(b)During the Term, the Executive shall serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”). The Executive shall have such authority, responsibilities and powers as are usual and customary for a person holding such position and shall perform such employment duties as may be reasonably assigned to the Executive by the CEO, consistent with such position. The Executive represents

to the Company that the Executive is not subject to or a party to any employment agreement, noncompetition covenant, or other agreement that would be breached by, or prohibit the Executive from, executing this Agreement and performing fully the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.

(c)During the Term, and excluding any periods of vacation or sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall devote the Executive’s substantially full time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company. Subject to the foregoing sentence, during the Term, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (i) serve on civic, educational, philanthropic or charitable boards or committees, and (ii) manage her personal investments, so long as such activities do not (x) reasonably have the potential to cause, or actually cause, reputational harm to the Company in which case the Executive shall cease such activities within a reasonable period of time, or (y) violate the provisions of Section 8 below.

(d)Consistent with the Executive’s position, the Executive may be required to travel for business in the course of performing the Executive’s duties for the Company.

2.Compensation.

(a)Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary (“Base Salary”), at the annual rate of $350,000, as the same may be increased by the Board thereafter pursuant to the Company’s normal practices for its executives, which shall be paid in installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices.

(b)Bonus Award. During the Term, the Executive will be eligible to receive an annual cash performance bonus award for each year of the Company ending on or prior to the termination of the Term (the “Annual Bonus”). The Executive’s target Annual Bonus shall be $250,000. The actual Annual Bonus to be paid for any fiscal year during the Term shall be based on the attainment of individual and Company performance goals established and determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, in consultation with the Executive. The amount of any such Annual Bonus award shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board based on the Board’s determination as to the achievement of the performance goals. Each Annual Bonus shall be paid to the Executive no later than the date on which bonuses are paid to senior executives of the Company generally under the Company’s bonus plans, but in no event later than the last day of the applicable two and one-half (2 ½) month short-term deferral period with respect to such Annual Bonus, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). Except as provided in Section 6 below, the Executive shall not be eligible for, and shall not earn or receive any Annual Bonus award if, the Executive is not employed with the Company on the day that the Annual Bonus is paid.

(c)Equity Grants. In addition to the compensation provided for above, the Executive will be eligible to receive, for each fiscal year of the Company during the Term, annual equity incentive grants (the “Equity Grants”) under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”). Grants under the Equity Plan are typically made in or about February of each year, and, historically, grants to executive officers of the Company have been comprised of a combination of Restricted Stock Units and Performance

2

Stock Units. The value and type of each such Equity Grant, as well as the specific terms and conditions of each such Equity Grant, shall be determined by Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in its discretion, as provided for under the Equity Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the target value of the Executive’s annual Equity Grant shall be $250,000.

3.Retirement and Welfare Benefits. During the Term, to the extent the Company establishes employee benefit plans or programs (e.g., medical, dental, vision, life insurance, long-term and short-term disability, accidental death, retirement, fringe benefits and welfare benefit plans) the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such plans or programs pursuant to their respective terms and conditions. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any of its subsidiaries to establish or maintain any employee benefit plan or program from time to time after the Effective Date.

4.Paid Time Off. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to paid-time-off (PTO) in accordance with the plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company applicable to its senior executives, which the parties acknowledge shall not be less than four (4) weeksper calendar year.

5.Business Expenses. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travel (which does not include commuting) and other business expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder in accordance with such policies and procedures as the Company may adopt generally from time to time for executives.

6.Termination.

(a)Termination. Upon the Executive’s termination or resignation of employment for any reason, the Company shall pay the Executive (or the Executive’s executor, legal representative, administrator or designated beneficiary, as applicable, in the event of the Executive’s death): (i) any amounts earned, accrued, and owing but not yet paid under Section 2(a) above, in a lump sum within ten (10) business days after the date of the Executive’s termination of employment (or earlier to the extent required by applicable law); and (ii) any benefits accrued and due under any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company including, for the avoidance of doubt, under any Company 401(k), savings, retirement, vacation, and welfare benefit plans (“Accrued Obligations”), in all cases regardless of whether the Executive executes or revokes the Release (as defined below). In the event of non-renewal of the Agreement and the Executive continues in the employ of NewLake, no severance compensation would be due under this Section 6 solely by reason of non-renewal, provided that any future termination thereinafter shall qualify for severance if such termination satisfies the conditions provided for in Section 6(b).

(b)Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time without Cause upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice; provided, however, the Company may relieve the Executive from performing any duties and pay the Executive her Base Salary (if any) in lieu of notice for all or part of such thirty (30)-day period in the Company’s discretion. The Executive may initiate a termination of

3

employment by resigning for Good Reason. Upon termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Executive for Good Reason, if the Executive executes and does not timely revoke a written Release (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of such Release, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of any payments under any severance plan or program for employees or executives, the following:

(1)The Company will pay the Executive, in a single lump sum payment within sixty (60) days following the termination date, (A) the Accrued Obligations; (B) any Annual Bonus (to the extent not already paid) that, had she remained employed, would otherwise have been paid to the Executive for any fiscal year of the Company that was completed on or before the date of termination (the “Prior Year Bonus”) and (C) a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus for the partial fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs in an amount equal to the product of (x) the target Annual Bonus multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days elapsed through the date of termination in the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs and the denominator of which shall be 365 (the “Pro Rata Bonus”);

(2)The Company will pay the Executive an amount (the “Severance Payment”) equal to one times the sum of (A) the Executive’s Base Salary in effect on the date of termination (without giving effect to any reduction in Base Salary that constitutes Good Reason) plus (B) the target Annual Bonus for the year in which the Executive is terminated, with 50% of the Severance Payment payable in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days following the termination date and the remaining 50% of the Severance Payment to be paid within fifteen (15) days following the one-year anniversary of the termination date;

(3)All outstanding Equity Awards granted to the Executive pursuant to Section 2(c) above, shall be subject to any applicable accelerated or continuing vesting provisions set forth in the applicable Grant Instruments (as defined in the Equity Plan); and

(4)The Company shall make a lump-sum payment within sixty (60) days following the termination date equal to the COBRA premiums that the Executive would pay if the Executive elected continued health coverage under the Company’s health plan for the Executive and the Executive’s dependents, provided that the dependent was covered under the Company’s health plan as of the Executive’s termination date, for the eighteen (18)-month period following the termination date, based on the COBRA rates in effect at the termination date (the “COBRA Payment”).

(c)Death or Disability. If the Executive incurs a Disability (as defined below) during the Term, in accordance with applicable law, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment on or after the date of Disability. If the Executive dies during the Term, the Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date of death. In the event of the Executive’s death or termination by the Company for Disability, if (in the case of Executive’s termination as a result of her Disability) the Executive executes and does not timely revoke a written Release in accordance with the terms of such Release, the Executive (or the Executive’s executor, legal representative, administrator or designated beneficiary, as applicable, in the event of the Executive’s death) shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of any payments under any severance plan or program for employees or executives, the following:

4

(1)The Company will pay the Executive, in a single lump sum payment within sixty (60) days following the termination date, (A) the Accrued Obligations; (B) the Prior Year Bonus (to the extent not already paid); and (C) the Pro Rata Bonus;

(2)All outstanding Equity Awards granted to the Executive pursuant to Section 2(c) above, shall be subject to any applicable accelerated or continuing vesting provisions set forth in the applicable Grant Instruments; and

(3)The Company shall make a lump-sum payment within sixty (60) days following the termination date equal to the COBRA premiums that the Executive would pay if the Executive elected continued health coverage under the Company’s health plan for (A) in the case of Disability, the Executive and the Executive’s dependents, and (B) in the case of death, the Executive’s dependents, and in either case, provided that the dependent(s) was (were) covered under the Company’s health plan as of the Executive’s termination date, for the eighteen (18)-month period following the termination date, based on the COBRA rates in effect at the termination date.

(d)Cause. The Company may immediately terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause upon written notice to the Executive, in which event the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement other than pursuant to any Accrued Obligations and any obligations under this Agreement that continue after termination of employment or in any other agreements between the Executive and the Company pursuant to any outstanding equity based awards (including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, phantom equity or other equity based awards); provided, however, that for avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall not be eligible to receive any unpaid Annual Bonus (including any Prior Year Bonus).

(e)Voluntary Resignation Without Good Reason. The Executive may voluntarily terminate employment without Good Reason upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Company; provided, however, the Company may relieve the Executive from performing any duties and pay the Executive his Base Salary in lieu of notice for all or part of such thirty (30)-day period in the Company’s discretion. In such event, after the effective date of such termination, no payments shall be due under this Agreement, except that the Executive shall be entitled to any Accrued Obligations and as delineated in any other agreements between the Executive and the Company pursuant to any outstanding equity based awards (including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, phantom equity or other equity based awards); provided, however, that for avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall not be eligible to receive any unpaid Annual Bonus (including any Prior Year Bonus).

(f)End of the Term.

(1)If the Executive is terminated from employment due to the non-renewal of the Term by the Company, and provided the Executive executes and does not timely revoke a written Release (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of such Release, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of any payments under any severance plan or program for employees or executives, the following:

5

(i)The Company will pay the Executive, in a single lump sum payment within sixty (60) days following the termination date, in an amount equal to the aggregate of: (A) the Accrued Obligations; (B) any Prior Year Bonus (to the extent not already paid); and (C) the Pro Rata Bonus; and

(ii)To the extent not previously vested and exercisable as of the date of termination, any outstanding Company equity based awards (including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, phantom equity or other equity based awards) held by the Executive, shall vest and, if applicable, be paid or become exercisable in accordance with the terms of such equity based award agreement between the Company and the Executive.

(2)If the Executive is terminated from employment due to the non-renewal of the Term by the Company, and such non-renewal of the Term occurs following a Change of Control Event (as defined below), and provided the Executive executes and does not timely revoke a written Release in accordance with the terms of such Release, then, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of any payments under any severance plan or program for employees or executives, the following:

(i)The Company will pay or provide for the payments and benefits set forth in Section 6(f)(1);

(ii)The Company shall make a lump-sum payment within sixty (60) days following the termination date equal to the COBRA Payment; and

(iii)The Company will pay the Executive an amount equal to the product of (A) the Severance Payment multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which will be (x) twelve (12) minus (y) the number of months (rounded to the nearest one-quarter of a month)1 from the date of the Change of Control Event through the end of the then-existing Term, and the denominator of which will be twelve (12) (the “CoC Severance Payment”), with 50% of the CoC Severance Payment payable in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days following the termination date and the remaining 50% of the CoC Severance Payment to be paid within fifteen (15) days following the one-year anniversary of the termination date.2

(iv)For purposes of this Section 6(f)(2) of the Agreement, a Change of Control Event shall mean the consummation of a Change of Control that occurs after the first anniversary of the commencement of the then-existing Term.

1 Except in the case where rounding would cause (y) to be zero, in which case (y) shall equal 0.25.

2 For illustrative purposes only, if the Change of Control Event occurs in month thirteen (13) of the then-existing Term and the Term is not renewed by the Company, the Executive will be entitled to 1/12ths of the Severance Payment, but if the Change of Control Event occurs in month twenty-three (23) of the then-existing Term and the Term is not renewed by the Company, the Executive will be entitled to 11/12ths of the Severance Payment.

6

(3)For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive is terminated from employment due to the non-renewal of the Term by the Company, the Executive shall be eligible to receive the payments and benefits set forth in either Section 6(f)(1) or 6(f)(2), but not both.

(g)Resignation of Positions. Effective as of the date of any termination of employment for any reason, the Executive will be automatically deemed to resign from all Company-related positions, including as an officer of the Company and its parents and subsidiaries, as applicable.

(h)Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(1)“Cause” shall mean, unless the Executive fully corrects the circumstances constituting Cause (to the extent such circumstances are susceptible to correction in the sole and reasonable discretion of the Board) within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from the Company in which the Company specifically identifies its basis for Cause and sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment and specifies the termination date, the Executive’s (A) material breach of this Agreement, including the confidentiality, nonsolicitation, and noncompetition provisions hereof; (B) commission of an act of, fraud, embezzlement, theft or material dishonesty; (C) engagement in conduct that causes, or is reasonably likely to cause, material damage to the property or reputation of the Company; (D) continued failure to substantially perform the material duties of the Executive’s position which are customary for the Executive’s position (other than by reason of Disability) after receipt of a written warning that identifies the manner in which the Executive has not substantially performed his duties; (E) the Executive’s indictment for, conviction of, or entry by Executive of a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere to, the commission of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; or (F) material failure to comply with the Company’s code of conduct or employment policies, or in the absence of such policies, reasonable standards of professional conduct.

(2)A “Change of Control” of the Company will occur when a transaction described in clause (A), (B) or (C) below occurs, provided that, with respect to clause (A) and (B) below (but not clause (C)), in such transaction, the consideration received by the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction is in the form of cash or securities readily tradable on an established securities market:

(A)    any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the equity interests in the Company or there is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction (directly or indirectly) involving the Company if, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction do not own, directly or indirectly, outstanding equity securities representing more than 50% of either the combined outstanding voting power or the fair market value of the outstanding equity securities of the surviving entity (or the parent of the surviving entity);

7

(B)    any person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) consecutive month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets of the Company that have a gross fair market value equal to more than 50% of the gross fair market value of all assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions, other than a sale or other disposition of assets of the Company to an entity in which more than 50% of the combined voting power or fair market value of the equity securities are owned by shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or other disposition. For this purpose, gross fair market value shall mean the value of the assets of the Company or the value of the assets being acquired, as applicable, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets; or

(C)    individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election by the Company’s shareholders, or nomination for election by the Board, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board.

(3)“Disability” shall mean a condition entitling the Executive to benefits under the Company’s long term disability plan, policy or arrangement in which the Executive participates; provided, however, that if no such plan, policy or arrangement is then maintained by the Company and applicable to the Executive, “Disability” shall mean the Executive’s inability to perform, with or without reasonable accommodation, her duties due to a mental or physical condition that can be expected to result in death or that can be expected to last (or has already lasted) for a continuous period of ninety (90) days or more, or for an aggregate of 180 days in any 365 consecutive day period, as determined by a physician selected by the Board and reasonably acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representatives, in its good faith discretion.

(4)“Good Reason” shall mean, without the Executive’s express written consent, (A) a material diminution by the Company of the Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities (including as a result of a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets), or (B) the reduction of the Executive’s salary or bonus opportunity in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time.

With respect to subsections (A)-(B) above, the Executive must provide written notice of termination for Good Reason to the Company within thirty (30) days after the event constituting Good Reason. The Company shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which it may correct the act or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for Good Reason as set forth in the Executive’s notice of termination. If the Company does not correct the act or failure to act, the

8

Executive’s employment will terminate for Good Reason on the first business day following the Company’s thirty (30)-day cure period.

(5)“Release” shall mean the Separation and Release Agreement attached hereto in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, as may be amended from time to time to reflect applicable law and best practices.

7.Section 409A.

(a)This Agreement is intended to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and its corresponding regulations, or an exemption thereto, and payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. Severance benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from section 409A of the Code under the “short-term deferral” exception, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the “separation pay” exception, to the maximum extent applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if required by section 409A of the Code, if the Executive is considered a “specified employee” for purposes of section 409A of the Code and if payment of any amounts under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six (6) months after separation from service pursuant to section 409A of the Code, payment of such amounts shall be delayed as required by section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated amounts shall be paid in a lump-sum payment within ten (10) days after the end of the six (6)-month period. If the Executive dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days after the date of the Executive’s death.

(b)All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code. For purposes of section 409A of the Code, each payment hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment, and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the fiscal year of a payment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of the Executive’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in the Executive’s designating the fiscal year of payment of any amounts of deferred compensation subject to section 409A of the Code, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.

(c)All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement be for expenses incurred during the period specified in this Agreement, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a fiscal year not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other fiscal year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense be made no later than the last day of the fiscal year following the year in which the

9

expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

8.Restrictive Covenants.

(a)Noncompetition. The Executive agrees that during the Executive’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries and the one-year period following the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates or the Executive resigns for any reason (the “Restriction Period”), the Executive will not, without the Board’s express written consent, engage (directly or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, employee, service provider, consultant or otherwise) or invest in or acquire any Competitive Business in the Restricted Area. The term “Competitive Business” means the ownership of cultivation or retail assets that are leased to tenants in the cannabis industry and any other business in which the Company is operating or has material plans to operate at the time of the Executive’s termination or resignation of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries. The term “Restricted Area” means the United States of America. The Executive agrees that the Executive’s employment, and the Base Salary and bonus provided for in Sections 2(a) and (b) and the separation benefits provided for in Section 6, are fair and reasonable consideration for Executive’s compliance with this Section 8(a). The Executive understands and agrees that, given the nature of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Executive’s position with the Company, the foregoing geographic scope is reasonable and appropriate and that more limited geographical limitations on this noncompetition covenant are therefore not appropriate. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Executive’s passive investment of five percent (5%) or less of the equity securities of any publicly traded company.

(b)Nonsolicitation of Company Personnel. The Executive agrees that during the Restriction Period, the Executive will not, either directly or through others, hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, or solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or its subsidiaries to change or terminate their relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries, unless more than twelve (12) months shall have elapsed between the last day of such employee’s, consultant’s or independent contractor’s employment or service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the first day of such solicitation or hiring or attempt to solicit or hire. If any employee, consultant or independent contractor is hired or solicited by any entity that has hired or agreed to hire the Executive, such hiring or solicitation shall be conclusively presumed to be a violation of this Section 8(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be in breach of this subsection (b) if (i) any employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or its subsidiaries voluntarily, and without the Executive’s knowledge or participation, seeks employment with an entity that has hired or agreed to hire the Executive or (ii) an entity that has hired or agreed to hire the Executive, hires any employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or its subsidiaries, without the Executive’s knowledge or participation, provided that the Executive has informed the entity that has hired or agreed to hire the Executive of the Executive’s restrictions and obligations under this Section 8.

(c)Nonsolicitation of Clients and Business Partners. The Executive agrees that during the Restriction Period, the Executive will not, either directly or through others, solicit,

10

divert or appropriate, or attempt to solicit, divert, diminish or appropriate for the benefit of a Competitive Business any (i) client or business partner or (ii) prospective client or business partner of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who is engaged in business with or was identified through leads developed during the course of the Executive’s employment or service with the Company during the last two years of the Executive’s employment with the Company. A “prospective client or business partner” is any third party with whom the Company or any of its subsidiaries is undertaking or has undertaken material efforts to engage in business during the last two years of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

(d)Proprietary Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret and confidential information relating to the Company which shall be obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use or publish any of the Proprietary Information (defined below) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with the Executive’s work for the Company or as described in Section 8(e) below, or unless the Company expressly authorizes such disclosure in writing. “Proprietary Information” shall mean any and all confidential data or information of the Company and its subsidiaries and shareholders, including but not limited to information relating to financial matters, investments, budgets, business plans, marketing plans, personnel matters, business contacts, data, programs, and other works of authorship obtained during the Executive’s employment. Proprietary Information does not include information that (i) was disclosed as permitted in Paragraph 8(e) below, (ii) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Executive or any of the Executive’s agents, advisors or representatives, or as a result of wrongdoing by a third party (iii) was or becomes available to the Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Executive by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

(e)Reports to Government Entities. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Executive from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiry from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, any agency Inspector General or any other federal, state or local regulatory authority, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. The Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in conduct protected by this subsection, and the Executive does not need to notify the Company that the Executive has engaged in such conduct. Please take notice that federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation to individuals who disclose trade secrets to their attorneys, courts, or government officials in certain,

11

confidential circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of the law.

(f)Return of Company Property. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive will (i) deliver to the person designated by the Company all originals and copies of all documents and property of the Company and its subsidiaries that is in the Executive’s possession or under the Executive’s control or to which the Executive may have access, (ii) deliver to the person designated by the Company all Company property, including keys, key cards, access cards, identification cards, security devices, employer credit cards, network access devices, computers, cell phones, smartphones, PDAs, pagers, fax machines, equipment, manuals, reports, files, books, compilations, work product, e-mail messages, recordings, disks, thumb drives or other removable information storage devices, hard drives, and data, and (iii) to the extent that the Executive made use of the Executive’s personal electronics (e.g., laptop, iPad, telephone, thumb drives, email, cloud, etc.) during employment with the Company, provide access to the Company and permit the Company to delete all Company property and information from such personal devices. The Executive will not reproduce or appropriate for the Executive’s own use, or for the use of others, any property, Proprietary Information.

9.Legal and Equitable Remedies.

(a)Because the Executive’s services are personal and unique and the Executive has had and will continue to have access to and has become and will continue to become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of the Company and its subsidiaries, and because any breach by the Executive of any of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 8 would result in irreparable injury and damage for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy, the Company shall have the right to enforce Section 8 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8. The Executive agrees that in any action in which the Company seeks injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, the Executive will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of Section 8 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. The Executive agrees that a Court may determine that the restricted periods set forth in Section 8 shall be extended for any period that the Executive is determined to be in breach of the Executive’s restrictive covenants.

(b)The Executive irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any legal proceeding in aid of arbitration pursuant to Section 10 to enforce the provisions of Section 8 shall be brought solely in the United States District Court for the District of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the State of New York, (ii) consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any such court. The Executive also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers.

12

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive breaches any of the Executive’s obligations under Section 8, the Company shall be obligated to provide only the Accrued Obligations, and any obligations of the Company under Section 2 or Section 6 hereof with respect to any payments not yet paid shall cease, and the Company may seek any and all additional legal and equitable remedies permitted by law, including seeking repayment of any severance payments.

10.Dispute Resolution.  The Company and the Executive each agree that with respect to any all claims that the Executive on the one hand, and the Company on the other, now have or in the future may have against the other, directly or indirectly arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Executive’s relationship with the Company, the Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company (collectively “Covered Claims”), such claims are subject to and will be resolved by binding arbitration, except with respect to any claim (i) that is expressly precluded from arbitration by a governing federal law or by a state law that is not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”); or (ii) that seeks injunctive or other equitable relief in aid of arbitration.  In the event of such an arbitration proceeding, the Executive and the Company shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS/Endispute panel of arbitrators. In the event the Executive and the Company cannot agree on an arbitrator, the Administrator of JAMS/Endispute will appoint an arbitrator. The Company and the Executive irrevocably consent and agree that (i) any arbitration will occur in New York, New York; (ii) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the then-current arbitration rules and procedures of JAMS (and its then-existing emergency relief procedures to the extent applicable), which rules and procedures are available at www.jamsadr.org, unless those rules or procedures conflict with any express term of this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall control; (iii) the federal courts sitting in the State of New York, New York, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award; and (iv) the state or federal courts sitting in the State of New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim that is not subject to arbitration, and in such case, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Executive will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).  THE COMPANY AND THE EXECUTIVE EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND AGREES TO ARBITRATE ANY COVERED CLAIMS THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND FOREVER WAIVES AND GIVES UP ITS RIGHT TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE ANY COVERED CLAIMS. The arbitrator shall render an award and a written, reasoned opinion in support thereof. Judgement upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Executive shall be responsible for the Executive’s own attorneys’ fees and, if the Executive initiates arbitration, the Executive shall be responsible only for any filing, forum or other administrative fee up to the amount of the filing fee, if any, that would have been incurred had such claims been filed in court. The Company shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees, as well as all arbitration filing, forum and other administrative fees of the arbitration forum (except as provided for above if the Executive initiates arbitration). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, an arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party.

13

11.Survival. The respective rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, under Sections 8 and 9) shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment or termination or expiration of this Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

12.No Mitigation or Set-Off. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced regardless of whether the Executive obtains other employment. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that the Company may have against the Executive or others.

13.Section 280G. In the event of a change in ownership or control under section 280G of the Code, if it shall be determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of section 280G of the Code, the aggregate present value of the Payments under the Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount (defined below) if and only if the Accounting Firm (described below) determines that the reduction will provide the Executive with a greater net after-tax benefit than would no reduction. No reduction shall be made unless the reduction would provide Executive with a greater net after-tax benefit. The parties agree that, in the event it appears that any Payment may constitute an “excess parachute payment”, they will reasonably cooperate with each other to attempt to mitigate the impact of Section 280G of the Code, including, if appropriate, using commercially reasonable efforts to seek stockholder approval of such Payments for purposes of Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code. The determinations under this Section shall be made as follows:

(a)The “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Payments under this Agreement without causing any Payment under this Agreement to be subject to the Excise Tax (defined below), determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. The term “Excise Tax” means the excise tax imposed under section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax.

(b)Payments under this Agreement shall be reduced on a nondiscretionary basis in such a way as to minimize the reduction in the economic value deliverable to the Executive. Where more than one payment has the same value for this purpose and they are payable at different times, they will be reduced on a pro rata basis. Only amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this Section.

(c)All determinations to be made under this Section shall be made by an independent certified public accounting firm selected by the Company and agreed to by the Executive immediately prior to the change-in-ownership or -control transaction (the “Accounting Firm”).

14

The Executive will have an opportunity to discuss with the accounting firm all of the potential issues prior to the issuance of any report. The Accounting Firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within ten (10) days of the transaction. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in performing the determinations referred to in this Section shall be borne solely by the Company.

14.Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement or necessary or convenient in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when hand-delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, as follows (provided that notice of change of address shall be deemed given only when received):

No delay or omission by a party in exercising any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof, and any such right, remedy or power may be exercised by such party from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient or necessary by such party in its sole discretion.

20.Severability.

If any provision is held void, invalid or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other circumstances.

Article IV

ADVANCES

A.The Company, without requiring a preliminary determination of indemnification, shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in which Indemnitee may be involved including as a party, a witness or otherwise, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement from the Indemnitee requesting such advance from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee.

B.Notwithstanding Paragraph 4(A) above, the Company shall not advance any Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee as a result of any Proceeding unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:

i.the Indemnitee has provided the Company with a written affirmation of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification as authorized by the MGCL, the Charter and the Bylaws has been met; and

ii.the Indemnitee has provided a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, to repay to the Company the funds or portion thereof advanced to the Indemnitee relating to any claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which it shall be finally determined that the standard of conduct has not been met and which have not been successfully resolved as described in Paragraph 4(D) below.

C.    The undertaking required by this Article IV shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor.

D.    Without limiting the indemnification obligations set forth in Article II, if Indemnitee is not wholly successful in any Proceeding covered by this Agreement, but is

13

successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Article IV for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Paragraph 4(D) and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION

A.To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therewith such documentation and information reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

B.Upon such written request pursuant to Paragraph 5(A), a determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee (unless the Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made by the Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Company, in which case by the person or persons or in the manner provided in clause (ii) of this Paragraph 5(B));(ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, at the option of Disinterested Directors either (a) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, or (b) by the stockholders of the Company. If it is so determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to the Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.

C.The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person or entity making such determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnitee in so cooperating shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and shall hold the Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

D.In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Paragraph 5(B) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Paragraph 5(D).

If a Change in Control shall have occurred, or if a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee (unless the Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and the Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, the Indemnitee, or the Company, as the case may be, may, within seven (7) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to the Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the grounds that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Article I of this Agreement. If such written objection is made, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel until a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by the Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Paragraph 5(A) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected or, if selected, shall have been objected to, either the Company or the Indemnitee may petition a court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or the Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Paragraph 5(B) hereof. The Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred in connection with acting pursuant to Paragraph 5(B) hereof, and all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the selection of such Independent Counsel pursuant to this Paragraph 5(D) and shall agree to fully indemnify such Independent Counsel against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Independent Counsel’s engagement as such pursuant hereto. In the event that a determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within 90 days after the receipt by the Company of the Indemnitee’s request in accordance with Paragraph 5(A), upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding in accordance with Paragraph 7(A) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity.

Article VI

PRESUMPTIONS

A.In making a determination with respect to entitlement or indemnification hereunder, the person or entity making such determination shall presume that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome such presumption by clear and convincing evidence. It shall be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information

15

supplied to Indemnitee by officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge or actions, or failure to act, of any director, trustee, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

B.If the person or entity making the determination whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the request therefore, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent: (i) a misstatement by the Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make the Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. Such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person or entity making said determination in good faith requires additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 6(B) shall not apply: (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders and if within 15 days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board of Directors resolves to submit such determination to the stockholders for consideration at an annual or special meeting thereof to be held within 75 days after such receipt and such determination is made at such meeting, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Paragraph 5(B) of this Agreement.

C.The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification. In the event that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration), it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

Article VII

REMEDIES

A.In the event that: (i) a determination is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) payment of indemnification due the Indemnitee under this Agreement is not timely made, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an

16

appropriate court of competent jurisdiction of such Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.

B.In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Article VII shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, on the merits and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.

C.If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Article VII, absent: (i) a misstatement by the Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make the Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

D.The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Article VII that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

E.In the event that the Indemnitee, pursuant to this Article VII, seeks a judicial adjudication of such Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, if successful in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication and, if requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall (within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of a written demand therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Charter or the Bylaws, any and all such Expenses.

Article VIII

NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE SUBROGATION

A.The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of the Board of Directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective as to the Indemnitee with respect to any action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee in any Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the MGCL permits greater indemnification to the Indemnitee than would be afforded currently under the MGCL, Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change if permitted by the MGCL.

17

B.To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors of the Company, the Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available and upon any “Change in Control” the Company shall obtain continuation and/or “tail” coverage for the Indemnitee to the maximum extent obtainable on commercially reasonable terms at such time. Specifically, to the extent reasonably available, the Company will maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

C.In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all actions necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

D.The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, or otherwise.

Article IX

CONTINUATION OF INDEMNITY

All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period the Indemnitee is acting in any Corporate Status and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and during the period of statute of limitations for any act or omission occurring during the Indemnitee’s term of Corporate Status. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall govern. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee and such Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

18

Article X

SEVERABILITY

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (i) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Article of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Article of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provisions held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

Article XI

EXCEPTIONS TO RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION OR ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement: (i) with respect to any Proceeding initiated by such Indemnitee against the Company other than a proceeding commenced pursuant to Article VII or (ii) if prohibited under applicable Maryland law.

Article XIV

DEFENSE OF PROCEEDING

A.    The Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced.

B.    Except for Proceedings brought by the Indemnitee pursuant to Article VII or as described in Article XI, the Company shall have the right to defend the Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Paragraph 14(A) above, and the counsel selected by the Company shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against the Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of the Indemnitee, (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, or (iii) has the actual effect of extinguishing, limiting or impairing the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder.

C.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 14(B) above, if in a Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) the Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that the Indemnitee may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) the Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) the Company fails to assume the defense of such Proceeding in accordance with this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of the Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company.

Article XV

NOTICES

All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii) mailed by

20

certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the fifth business day after the date on which it is so mailed, if so delivered or mailed, as the case may be, to the following addresses:

Each party shall bring any Proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement exclusively in the courts of the State of Maryland and the Federal courts of the United States, in each case, located in the City of Baltimore (the “Chosen Courts”). Solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction or venue, as applicable, of the Chosen Courts, (ii) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding except in such courts, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding, (v) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Article XV; and (vi) agrees to request and/or consent to the assignment of any dispute arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the Chosen Courts’ Business and Technology Case Management Program or similar program. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. A final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Article XVII

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, as well as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any future period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2024. In management's opinion, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company consolidates a VIE in which it is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

NLCP Operating Partnership LP

The Operating Partnership is a VIE because the holders of limited partnership interests do not have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Furthermore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership because it has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the Operating Partnership and the exclusive power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same, as the Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management will adjust such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. Such

estimates include, but are not limited to, useful lives for depreciation of property and corporate assets, the fair value of acquired real estate and in-place lease intangibles acquired, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the Company's current year presentation.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company's accounting policies included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Leases

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Leases

As Lessor

The Company's properties are leased to single tenants on a long-term, triple-net basis, which obligates the tenant to be responsible for the ongoing expenses of a property, in addition to its rent obligations. Under certain circumstances the Company will pay for certain expenses on behalf of the tenant and the tenant is required to reimburse the Company. The presentation in the statements of operations for these expenses are gross where the Company records revenue and a corresponding reimbursable expense. Expenses paid directly by a tenant are not reimbursable and therefore not reflected in the statement of operations. The expense and reimbursable amounts may differ due to timing. The revenues associated with the reimbursable expenses were classified in "Fees and Reimbursables" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the reimbursable revenues were $299.8 thousand and $83.1 thousand, respectively. Reimbursable expenses are classified as "Property Expenses" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company's tenants operate in the cannabis industry. All of the Company's leases generally contain annual increases in rent (typically between 2% and 3%) over the expiring rental rate at the time of expiration. Certain leases of the Company also contain a Tenant Improvement Allowance (“TIA”). TIA is generally available to be funded between 12 and 18 months. In some leases, the tenant becomes liable to pay rent as if the full TIA has been funded, even if there are still unfunded commitments. TIA also contains annual increases which generally increase at the same rate as base rent, per the lease agreement. Certain of the Company's leases provide the lessee with a right of first refusal or right of first offer in the event the Company markets the leased property for sale. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company granted Calypso a purchase option to purchase the leased property and during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the tenant was out of compliance with certain provisions of the lease

Note 4 - Leases (continued)

and as a result the purchase option was terminated. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had two leases that provided the lessee with a purchase option to purchase the leased property at the end of the initial lease term in December 2029, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The purchase option provision allows the lessee to purchase the leased property for an amount based on the fair market value of the Company's investment. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's gross investment in these two properties was approximately $6.3 million.

Lease Income

The following table presents the future contractual minimum rent under the Company’s operating leases as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Year	Contractual Minimum Rent
2024 (nine months ending December 31, 2024)	$	37,428
2025	51,421

2027	54,344
2028	55,759
Thereafter	544,828
Total	$	796,745

Credit Risk and Geographic Concentration

The ability of any of the Company’s tenants to honor the terms of its lease are dependent upon the economic, regulatory, competitive, natural and social factors affecting the community in which that tenant operates. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 31 properties leased to 13 tenants across 12 states including Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

As Lessee

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was the lessee under one office lease for a term of four years, subject to annual escalations. The annual rent payments range from approximately $72.0 thousand in year one to approximately $85.0 thousand in year four. The office lease qualifies under the right-of-use ("ROU") model. Upon entering into the lease in June 2022, the Company recorded a ROU asset of $273 thousand which was classified in “Other Assets” and a lease liability, which is classified in "Other Liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The ROU balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were approximately $161.2 thousand and $177.4 thousand, respectively. The ROU asset is amortized over the remaining lease term. The amortization is made up of the principal amortization under the lease liability plus or minus the straight-line adjustment of the operating lease rent.

Leases

Leases

As Lessor

The Company's properties are leased to single tenants on a long-term, triple-net basis, which obligates the tenant to be responsible for the ongoing expenses of a property, in addition to its rent obligations. Under certain circumstances the Company will pay for certain expenses on behalf of the tenant and the tenant is required to reimburse the Company. The presentation in the statements of operations for these expenses are gross where the Company records revenue and a corresponding reimbursable expense. Expenses paid directly by a tenant are not reimbursable and therefore not reflected in the statement of operations. The expense and reimbursable amounts may differ due to timing. The revenues associated with the reimbursable expenses were classified in "Fees and Reimbursables" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the reimbursable revenues were $299.8 thousand and $83.1 thousand, respectively. Reimbursable expenses are classified as "Property Expenses" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company's tenants operate in the cannabis industry. All of the Company's leases generally contain annual increases in rent (typically between 2% and 3%) over the expiring rental rate at the time of expiration. Certain leases of the Company also contain a Tenant Improvement Allowance (“TIA”). TIA is generally available to be funded between 12 and 18 months. In some leases, the tenant becomes liable to pay rent as if the full TIA has been funded, even if there are still unfunded commitments. TIA also contains annual increases which generally increase at the same rate as base rent, per the lease agreement. Certain of the Company's leases provide the lessee with a right of first refusal or right of first offer in the event the Company markets the leased property for sale. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company granted Calypso a purchase option to purchase the leased property and during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the tenant was out of compliance with certain provisions of the lease

Note 4 - Leases (continued)

and as a result the purchase option was terminated. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had two leases that provided the lessee with a purchase option to purchase the leased property at the end of the initial lease term in December 2029, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The purchase option provision allows the lessee to purchase the leased property for an amount based on the fair market value of the Company's investment. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's gross investment in these two properties was approximately $6.3 million.

Loan Payable

In connection with the purchase and leaseback of a cultivation facility in Chaffee, Missouri on December 20, 2021, the Company entered into a $3.8 million loan payable to the seller, which was an independent third party from the tenant. The loan bore interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum. Principal on the loan was payable in annual installments of which $1.8 million and $1.0 million were paid in January 2022 and January 2023, respectively. On January 3, 2024, the Company made its final annual principal and interest payment of approximately $1.0 million on its loan payable.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 6, 2022, the Company's Operating Partnership entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with a commercial federally regulated bank, as a lender and as agent for lenders that become party thereto from time to time (the “Agent”). The Loan and Security Agreement matures on May 6, 2027. The Loan and Security Agreement provides, subject to the Accordion Feature described below, $30.0 million in aggregate commitments for secured revolving loans (“Revolving Credit Facility”), the availability of which is based on a borrowing base consisting of fee simple owned real properties that satisfy eligibility criteria specified in the Loan and Security Agreement and the lease income thereunder which are owned by certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

On July 29, 2022, the Operating Partnership, entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, amending the Loan and Security Agreement, to increase the aggregate commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility from $30.0 million to $90.0 million and added two additional lenders. The Loan and Security Agreement also allows the Company, subject to certain conditions, to request additional revolving incremental loan commitments such that the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to a total aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be voluntarily prepaid and re-borrowed, subject to certain fees.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears a fixed rate of 5.65% for the first three years and thereafter a variable rate based upon the greater of (a) the Prime Rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal (Western Edition) (“Base Rate”) plus an applicable margin of 1.0% or (b) 4.75%.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $4.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, there was $86.0 million in funds available to be drawn, subject to sufficient collateral in the borrowing base.

The facility is subject to certain liquidity and operating covenants and includes customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the terms of such covenants under the agreement.

Under the terms of the Plan, the aggregate number of shares of awards will be no more than 2,275,727 shares. If and to the extent shares of awards granted under the Plan, expire or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised, or if any stock awards, stock units or other stock-based awards are forfeited, terminated or otherwise not paid in full, the shares subject to such grants shall again be available for issuance or transfer under the Plan. The Plan has a term of ten years until August 12, 2031. As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately

1,809,193 shares available for issuance under the Plan, which assumes maximum performance is achieved with respect to Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) .

(2) Represents shares withheld to satisfy tax and other compensation related withholdings associated with the vested RSUs issued under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting. The vested RSUs are also entitled to receive an accumulated dividend payment equal to the dividend paid on each share of common stock during the vesting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $33.1 thousand and $8.7 thousand respectively, of accumulated dividends that became earned upon vesting of RSUs. Accrued unearned dividends on unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $114,473 and $60,760, respectively.

The amortization of compensation costs for the awards of RSUs are classified in "Compensation Expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and amounted to approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $0.8 million for RSU awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 1.5 years as of March 31, 2024.

Performance Stock Units

PSUs are granted to officers and certain employees of the Company. Total outstanding PSUs as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 159,522 and 121,858, respectively.

The following table sets forth the Company's unvested performance stock activity for the three months ended March 31,:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Forfeited	—	$	—	—	$	—
Balance at March 31,	159,522	$	17.22	121,858	$	18.26

PSUs vest subject to the achievement of relative total shareholder return as measured against a peer group of companies and absolute compounded annual growth in stock price during each performance period. The actual number of shares of common stock issued will range from 0 to 319,044 depending upon performance. The performance periods are January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and 47,983, 55,017 and 56,522 PSUs are scheduled to vest at the end of each performance period, respectively.

The fair value of PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation for our future stock price and the corresponding peer group. The grant date fair value is an equally weight value comprised of (i) total shareholder return of the Company and a peer group of companies (“rTSR”); and (ii) the Company’s absolute compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”). To derive the value of rTSR, the Company uses a stochastic stock price simulation model using Geometric Brownian Motion (“GBM”) to model the future stock prices of the Company and the peer group companies. The key inputs to the GBM model include the standard deviation of the movement of the share price, also expressed as stock price volatility. Historical volatility is analyzed for the Company and peer group companies based on publicly traded shares of common stock. The model also assists in deriving a value of the Company’s CAGR which is then subjected to the vesting percentages according to the terms of the PSU agreements. The key inputs to calculate CAGR are the ending stock price, initial stock price and vesting period. The GBM simulates the ending stock price that is used in the CAGR model to determine the grant date fair value.

Using the above methodology, grant date fair values of $24.00, $11.23 and $17.30 were used for PSUs with performance periods ending December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. PSUs are subject to restrictions on transfer and may be subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company prior to vesting of the award.

Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting. Upon vesting, each PSU is also entitled to receive an accumulated dividend payment equal to the dividend paid on each share of common stock during the performance period. If PSUs do not meet the performance hurdles and are cancelled, no dividends are paid on the cancelled units. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no PSUs vested and therefore the Company did not pay any dividends. Unearned dividends on unvested PSUs as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $311,084 and $164,496, respectively.

The amortization of compensation costs for the awards of PSUs are included in "Compensation Expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and amounted to approximately $0.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $1.5 million for PSU awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 2.1 years as of March 31, 2024.

Stock Options

Prior to the completion of the initial public offering ("IPO"), the Company issued 791,790 nonqualified stock options (the “Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable option grant agreements, with an exercise price per share of common stock equal to $24.00 and in such amounts as set forth in the option grant agreements. The Options vested on August 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Options were fully exercisable and expire on July 15, 2027.

The Company elected to use the measurement alternative to value its investment in warrants, since the fair value was not readily determinable. The investment in warrants is classified in “Other Assets” in the consolidated balance sheets at its initial cost value of $522 thousand. The cost value was determined based upon the implied recapitalized equity value of Revolutionary Clinics.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of financial instruments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

	March 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Note Receivable(1)	$	4,848	$	4,725	$	4,833	$	4,748
Revolving Credit Facility(2)	$	4,000	$	3,930	$	1,000	$	968
Loan Payable(2)(3)	$	—	$	—	$	1,000	$	992

(1) The fair value measurement of the $5.0 million Note Receivable is based on unobservable inputs, and as such, is classified as Level 3. The carrying value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflects the provision for current expected credit loss of $152.3 thousand and $166.7 thousand , respectively.

(2) The fair value of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and Loan Payable are based on observable inputs, and as such, are classified as Level 2.

(3) The Company made its final installment payment on our loan payable on January 3, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s investment in warrants was valued based on the initial investment, less impairment. The Company determined the investment was not impaired as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Since these securities are not actively traded, the Company will apply valuation adjustments if and when such indicators become available. As such, these securities are carried at    cost and are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the generally short-term nature and the market rates of interest of these instruments. As such, these financial instruments are classified as Level 1.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions to its stockholders, and provided it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution, and stock ownership tests. The state and local tax jurisdictions for which the Company is subject to tax-filing obligations recognize the Company’s status as a REIT, and therefore, the Company generally does not pay income tax in such jurisdictions. The Company may, however, be subject to certain minimum state and local tax filing fees as well as certain excise, franchise, or business taxes.

Taxable REIT Subsidiaries

In October 2023, the Company elected to treat a domestic subsidiary as a TRS. The TRS is subject to U.S. federal,

state and local corporate income taxes at the current federal statutory rate of 21%. The Company’s effective tax

rate differs from its combined U.S. federal, state and local corporate statutory tax rate primarily due to income earned at the REIT, which is not subject to tax, due to the deduction for qualifying distributions made by the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the TRS had limited activity and did not generate taxable income.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments to invest approximately $6.5 million to develop and improve our existing cultivation facilities in Arizona, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. Refer to Note 3 for further details on the Company's commitments. Refer to Note 16- “Subsequent Events” for details on commitments the Company entered into after March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024 the Company is the lessee under one office lease. Refer to Note 4 for further information.

The Company owns a portfolio of properties that it leases to entities which cultivate, harvest, process and distribute cannabis. Cannabis is an illegal substance under the Controlled Substances Act. Although the operations of the Company’s tenants are legalized in the states and local jurisdictions in which they operate, the Company and its tenants are subject to certain risks and uncertainties associated with conducting operations subject to conflicting federal, state and local laws in an industry with a complex regulatory environment which is continuously evolving. These risks and uncertainties include the risk that the strict enforcement of federal laws regarding cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability, and the inability of its tenants, to execute their respective business plans.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, as well as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any future period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2024. In management's opinion, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

The Company consolidates a VIE in which it is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management will adjust such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. Such

estimates include, but are not limited to, useful lives for depreciation of property and corporate assets, the fair value of acquired real estate and in-place lease intangibles acquired, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Reclassification

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the Company's current year presentation.
