TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THE

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT

PURSUANT TO THE OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVESTORS, INC.

2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

1. Vested Stock Units. Upon vesting, the Company shall cause the shares of Common Stock attributable to the Vested Stock Units to be issued in book-entry form in the name of the Recipient.

2. Tax Withholding.

(a) The minimum amount of the required tax obligations imposed on the Company by reason of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock attributable to Vested Stock Units shall be satisfied by reducing the actual number of shares of Common Stock by the number of whole shares of Common Stock which, when multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Distribution Date of Common Stock, is sufficient, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share, to satisfy such tax withholding, assuming that (i) the Recipient does not make a valid election to satisfy tax withholding in cash pursuant to Subsection (b), and (ii) the Committee does not determine that tax withholding will be required to be satisfied in another manner.

(b) However, the Recipient may elect in writing by notice to the Company received at least ten (10) days before the earliest Distribution Date of Common Stock to satisfy such tax withholding obligation in cash by the earliest Distribution Date of Common Stock, as provided in Subsection (a)(i). If the Recipient fails to timely satisfy payment of the cash amount, then Subsection (a) shall apply.

(c) To the extent that the Recipient is required to satisfy the tax withholding obligation in this Section in cash, the Company shall withhold the cash from any cash payments then owed to the Recipient, or if none, the Recipient shall timely remit the cash amount.

(d) If the Recipient does not timely satisfy payment of the tax withholding obligation, the Recipient will forfeit the Vested Stock Units.

3. Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Stock Units. Except for the transfer of any Restricted Stock Units by bequest or inheritance, the Recipient shall not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer or hypothecation, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any part of any right, title or interest in or to any Restricted Stock Units. Any such disposition not made in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed null and void. Any permitted transferee under this Section shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

4. Change in Capitalization.

(a) The number and kind of shares issuable under this Agreement shall

be proportionately adjusted for nonreciprocal transactions between the Company and the holders of Common Stock that cause the per share value of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, or rights offering (each an “Equity Restructuring”). No fractional shares shall be issued in making such adjustment.

(b) In the event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or other material change in the capital structure of the Company, or a tender offer for shares of Common Stock, or other reorganization of the Company, in each case that does not result in an Equity Restructuring or a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee shall take such action to make such adjustments with respect to the Restricted Stock Units as the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class of securities subject to the Award, substituting cash, other securities, or other property to replace the Award, or removing of restrictions.

(c) All determinations and adjustments made by the Compensation Committee pursuant to this Section will be final and binding on the Recipient. Any action taken by the Compensation Committee need not treat all recipients of awards under the Plan equally.

(d) The existence of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Units Grant shall not affect the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

5. Governing Laws. This Award shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Maryland; provided, however, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued except, in the reasonable judgment of the Compensation Committee, in compliance with exemptions under applicable state securities laws of the state in which Recipient resides, and/or any other applicable securities laws.

6. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties.

7. Notice. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the proposed recipient at the last known address of the Recipient. Any party may designate any other address to which notices shall be sent by giving notice of the address to the other parties in the same manner as provided herein.

8. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein.

9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern.

10. No Right to Continued Retention. Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the award of Restricted Stock Units hereunder shall be construed as giving Recipient the right to continued service with the Company or an Affiliate.

11. Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the party or parties who are thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunction in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

12. Headings and Capitalized Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Award. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Agreement shall be given the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

(c) individuals who as of the date hereof, 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, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds 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;

(d) a reorganization, merger or consolidation, with respect to which persons who were the holders of equity securities of the Company immediately

(ii) the Company or the Affiliate which employs the Recipient fails to remedy the event within ten (10) days following the Recipient’s written notice; and
