THE OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVESTORS, INC. 2018 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
1.Vested Stock Units.  The Company shall issue in book entry form in the name of the Recipient, or issue and deliver to the Recipient a share certificate representing, the Vested Shares on the Distribution Date of Vested Shares.
2.Tax Withholding, Dividends Equivalents.  Payment of Dividend Equivalents is subject to required tax withholding.
3.Tax Withholding, Shares. 

(a)The minimum required amount of the tax withholding obligations imposed on the Company, or at the Company’s discretion if tax withholding is required, tax withholding up to the maximum statutory rates, by reason of the issuance of the Vested Shares shall be satisfied by reducing the actual number of Vested Shares 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 Vested Shares, 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 Vested Shares to satisfy such tax withholding obligation in cash by the earliest Distribution Date of Vested Shares, as provided in Subsection (a)(i). If the Recipient fails to timely satisfy payment of the cash amount, then Subsection (a) shall apply.

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.



5.Change in Capitalization.
(a)The number and kind of shares issuable under this Agreement shall be proportionately adjusted for non-reciprocal 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, reorganization, extraordinary dividend, spin-off, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, other change in capital structure of the Company, tender offer for shares of Common Stock, or a Change in Control, that in each case does not constitute an Equity Restructuring, the Committee shall take such action to make such adjustments with respect to the Restricted Stock Units as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate and as is permitted by the Plan, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class of securities subject to the Award, substituting other securities, property or cash to replace the Award, all as determined in good faith by the Committee to have equivalent value to the Award, removing restrictions on the Award, or terminating the Award in exchange for the cash value determined in good faith by the Committee.  Any adjustment pursuant to this Section may provide, in the Committee’s discretion, for the elimination without payment of any fractional shares that might otherwise be subject to the Award, but except as set forth in this Subsection and the Plan may not otherwise diminish the then value of the Award.
(c)All determinations and adjustments made by the Committee pursuant to this Section will be final and binding on the Recipient. Any action taken by the Committee need not treat all recipients of awards under the Plan equally.

6.Governing Laws.  This Award shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Maryland; provided, however, no Vested Shares shall be issued except, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, in compliance with exemptions under applicable state securities laws of the state in which Recipient resides, and/or any other applicable securities laws.
7.Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties.



8.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.
9.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.

12.No Right to Continued Retention.  Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the Award shall be construed as giving Recipient the right to continued service with the Company or an Affiliate.
13.Tax Effects under 409A.  It is intended that the Award under this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).  All provisions of this Agreement shall be construed consistent with that intent.  If and to the extent that the Award does not qualify for an exemption from Code Section 409A, whether as a short-term deferral pursuant to Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payment shall be made only in accordance with Code Section 409A, such that if payment is being made as a result of the Recipient’s termination of employment or other cessation of services, that shall be construed to require a “separation from service” as defined under Code Section 409A and payment will be delayed for any “specified employee” as defined under Code Section 409A to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i).

Ending Value of Reinvested Dividends = (Ending Stock Price x Total Number of Shares Hypothetically Purchased with Reinvested Dividends)
Total Number of Shares Hypothetically Purchased with Reinvested Dividends = Number of Shares Hypothetically Purchased with First Reinvested Dividend + the sum of the Number of Shares Hypothetically Purchased with each Subsequent Reinvested Dividend 
Number of Shares Hypothetically Purchased with First Reinvested Dividend = (dividend declared to a shareholder of record during the Performance Period calculated on one share of Common Stock as of the first dividend declaration date during such period)/closing price per share of Common Stock on the last business day before the ex-dividend date) 
Number of Shares Hypothetically Purchased with each Subsequent Reinvested Dividend = (each dividend declared to a shareholder of record after the first dividend declaration date during the Performance Period calculated on the sum of the one share of Common Stock beginning as of the first dividend declaration date + the number of shares hypothetically purchased with reinvested dividends before such subsequent dividend declaration date)/closing price per share of Common Stock on the last business day before the related ex-dividend date)

For this purpose, the total shareholder return for the Index shall be calculated using methodologies analogous in all material respects to those used for the calculation of Total Shareholder Return, and the average closing price per share for the November and December at the end, and before the beginning, of the Performance Period shall also be used for calculating total shareholder return for the Index. 
“Release” means a comprehensive release, covenant not to sue, and non-disparagement agreement from the Recipient in favor of the Company, its executives, officers, directors, Affiliates, and all related parties, in the form provided by the Company (which, if the Recipient is a party to an employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate and the Recipient’s right to receive severance pay in connection with a qualifying termination of employment thereunder is contingent on the execution and non-revocation of a release agreement in substantially the form attached to the employment agreement, will be substantially the same form of release agreement attached to the employment agreement); provided, however, the Company may make any changes to the Release as it determines to be necessary only to ensure that the Release is enforceable under applicable law.
“Restrictive Provisions” means the Non-Competition Provisions and the Non-Solicitation Provisions.

“Vesting Period” means the period beginning on the day after the last day of the Performance Period and ending December 31, [YEAR]; provided however, that if a Change in Control occurs during or before such period, the last day of the Vesting Period same be deemed to be the date of the Change in Control.
