Item 1.02.    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

           On October 6, 2010, a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Borrower”) of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) terminated its Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), as Administrative Agent and a Lender, and the other financial institutions party thereto.  The Credit Agreement previously provided the Borrower with a five year $100 million term loan.  In connection with the termination, the Borrower repaid the outstanding principal amount of the loan plus a prepayment premium of $3 million.
 
    As a result, for the three month period ending December 31, 2010, Omega will record a non-cash charge of approximately $2.2 million relating to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the termination of the Credit Agreement.
 
    GECC is a lender under Omega’s existing $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility.
