Item 2.01

As previously reported, on April 20, 2010, Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) announced the exercise of its option to acquire certain subsidiaries of CapitalSource Inc. (“CapitalSource”) owning 63 long-term care facilities (the “Casablanca Portfolio”). On June 9, 2010, Omega completed the acquisition of the Casablanca Portfolio for approximately $293 million in cash, of which approximately $261 million was used by CapitalSource to repay mortgage debt associated with the Casablanca Portfolio.  The acquisition was conducted pursuant to an Option Agreement dated December 22, 2009 among Omega, CapitalSource and CSE SLB LLC, as amended, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Omega’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2009.
 
The 63 facilities owned by the acquired CapitalSource subsidiaries represent 6,607 available beds located in 19 states and are part of 30 in-place triple net leases among 18 operators.

Omega used a combination of cash and borrowings of $195 million under its $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility to fund the acquisition.

Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

See Item 2.01 above, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of borrowings under Omega’s $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility.

Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 10, 2010, Omega amended and restated its Charter to revise various provisions regarding real estate investment trust (“REIT”) ownership limits to protect Omega’s status as a qualified REIT, and to otherwise modernize the Charter based on recent developments in REIT law and industry practice.  The amendments are described in Omega’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2010.

The amended and restated Charter was previously approved by Omega’s Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, and approved by Omega’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2010, as further described in Section 5.07 below.

A copy of the amended and restated Charter is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1.

(ii)            no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Equity Shares to the extent that such Beneficial or Constructive Ownership would cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT by reason of being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year); and
 
(iii)           no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Equity Shares that would cause the Corporation to otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, Beneficial or Constructive Ownership that would result in the Corporation owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code).
 
Subject to Section 5.06 and notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles, at all times prior to the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer, Acquisition or other event or transaction that, if effective, would result in the Equity Shares of the Corporation being beneficially owned by less than 100 Persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Equity Shares.
 
(c)   Shares-in-Trust. If, at any time prior to the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer, Acquisition or other event or transaction that, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning Equity Shares in violation of Section 5.04(b)(i) or (iii) above,
 
 
6

 
 
(i)            then that number of Equity Shares that otherwise would cause such Person to violate Section 5.04(b)(i) or (iii) above (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically converted into an equal number of Shares-in-Trust having terms, rights, restrictions and qualifications identical thereto (except to the extent that Section 5.04 or Section 5.05 requires different terms), effective as of the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the date of such Transfer, Acquisition or other event or transaction, and such Purported Beneficial Transferee shall thereafter have no rights in such Equity Shares, and
 
(ii)            if, for any reason, the conversion into Shares-in-Trust described in subsection (c)(i) above is not automatically effective as provided therein to prevent any Person from Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning Equity Shares in violation of Section 5.04(b)(i) or (iii) above, then the Transfer, Acquisition or other event or transaction with respect to that number of Equity Shares that otherwise would cause any Person to violate Section 5.04(b)(i) or (iii) shall, subject to Section 5.06, be void ab initio, and the Purported Beneficial Transferee shall acquire no rights in such Equity Shares.
 
(d)   Remedies for Breach. If the Board of Directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or other designee, if permitted by the MGCL, shall at any time determine in good faith that a purported Transfer, Acquisition or other event or transaction has taken place in violation of Section 5.04(b) or that a Person intends to Acquire or has attempted to Acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Equity Shares in violation of this Section 5.04 (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or other designee shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer, Acquisition or other event or transaction from occurring or otherwise being effective, including, but not limited to, causing the Corporation to redeem Equity Shares, refusing to give effect thereto on the books of the Corporation or instituting injunctive proceedings with respect thereto; provided, however, that any Transfer, Acquisition, event or transaction in violation of Section 5.04(b) shall be void ab initio or automatically shall result in the conversion described in Section 5.04(c), as applicable, irrespective of any action (or inaction) by the Board of Directors or its designee.

(e)   Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who Acquires or attempts to Acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Equity Shares that will or may violate Section 5.04(b) and any Person who Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns Shares-in-Trust as a transferee of Equity Shares resulting in a conversion to Shares-in-Trust, pursuant to Section 5.04(c) or otherwise, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation, or, in the event of a proposed or attempted Transfer, Acquisition, or purported change in Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership, shall give at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Corporat ion, of such event and shall promptly provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may request.

(f)   Owners Required to Provide Information. At all times prior to the Restriction Termination Date:
 
(i)            Every Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of more than five percent (5%) (or such lower percentages as determined pursuant to regulations under the Code or as may be requested by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion), of the outstanding Equity Shares of any class or series shall annually, no later than thirty (30) days after the end of each taxable year, give written notice to the Corporation stating (1) the name and address of such Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner; (2) the number of shares of each class or series of Equity Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned; and (3) a description of how such shares are held. Each such Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner promptly shall provide to the Corporation such addition al information as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may request to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership on the Corporation’s status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Common Share Ownership Limit or Preferred Share Ownership Limit and other restrictions set forth in these Articles.
 
(ii)            Each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of Equity Shares and each Person (including the Stockholder of record) who is holding Equity Shares for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner promptly shall provide to the Corporation such information as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may request to determine the Corporation’s status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or other governmental agency, or to determine any such compliance or to ensure compliance with the Equity Share Ownership Limits and other restrictions set forth in these Articles.

(g)   Remedies Not Limited. Subject to Section 5.06 and Section 5.04(l), nothing contained in this ARTICLE V shall limit the scope or application of the provisions of this Section 5.04, the ability of the Corporation to implement or enforce compliance with the terms of this Section 5.04 or the authority of the Board of Directors to take any such other action or actions as it may deem necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its Stockholders by preservation of the Corporation’s status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Equity Ownership Limit for any class or series (or combination thereof) of Equity Shares and other restrictions set forth in this Section 5.04, including, without limitation, refusal to give effect to a transaction on the books of the Corporation.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation is specifically authorized to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of Section 5.04 and Section 5.05.

(h)   Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 5.04, including any definition contained in Section 5.02, Section 5.04(a) or Section 7.01, the Board of Directors shall have the power and authority, in its sole discretion, to determine the application of the provisions of this Section 5.04 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event Section 5.04 or Section 5.05 requires an action by the Board of Directors and these Articles fail to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the purposes and intents set forth in these Articles. Absent a decision to the contrary by the Board of Directors (which the Board of Directors may make in its sole and absolute discretion), if a Person would have (but for the remedies set forth in Section 5.04) acquired Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Equity Shares in violation of Section 5.04, such remedies (as applicable) shall apply first to the Equity Shares that, but for such remedies, would have been actually owned by such Person, and second to Equity Shares that, but for such remedies, would have been Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who actually own such Equity Shares based upon the relative number of the Equity Shares held by each such Person.

(i)   Waivers by Board. Upon notice of an Acquisition or Transfer or a proposed Acquisition or Transfer that results or would result in the intended transferee having Beneficial Ownership of Equity Shares in excess of the Equity Share Ownership Limit, the Board of Directors may, prospectively or retroactively, upon receipt of evidence that the Board of Directors deems to be satisfactory, in its sole discretion, determine that such Acquisition or Transfer does not or will not violate the “closely held” provisions of Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT, create an Excepted Holder Limit with respect to such transferee upon such conditions as the Board of Directors may determine, in its sole discretion.  Subject to Sections 5.04(b)(ii) and (iii), and without any action by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 5.04(i) or any other provisions of these Articles, an underwriter that participates in a public offering or private placement of Equity Shares, or Person acting in a similar capacity with respect to a financing involving Equity Shares, may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Equity Shares in excess of the Equity Share Ownership Limit, but only to the extent necessary to facilitate such public offering, private placement or similar financing.

(j)   Increase in Common or Preferred Share Ownership Limit. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 5.04(k), the Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Equity Share Ownership Limit (or separately increase the Common Share Ownership Limit or the Preferred Share Ownership Limit) for one or more Persons and/or decrease the Equity Share Ownership Limit (or separately decrease the Common Share Ownership Limit or the Preferred Share Ownership Limit) for one or more Persons; provided, however, that a decrease in Equity Share Ownership Limit (or separate decrease in Common Share Ownership Limit or Preferred Share Ownership Limit) will no t be effective for any Person whose percentage ownership of Equity Shares is in excess of such decreased Equity Share Ownership Limit (or separately decreased Common Share Ownership Limit or Preferred Share Ownership Limit), as appropriate, until such time as such Person’s percentage of the subject Equity Shares equals or falls below the decreased Equity Share Ownership Limit (or separately decreased Common Share Ownership Limit or Preferred Share Ownership Limit), but until such time as such Person’s percentage of the subject Equity Shares falls below such decreased Equity Share Ownership Limit (or separately decreased Common Share Ownership Limit or Preferred Share Ownership Limit), any further acquisition of Equity Shares will be in violation of the Equity Share Ownership Limit (including any separate Common Share Ownership Limit or Preferred Share Ownership Limit); and provided further, that the increased Equity Share Ownership Limit (or separately increased Common Share Ownership Limit or Pr eferred Share Ownership Limit) being granted to one or more new Persons does not or will not violate the “closely held” provisions of Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT.  Any decreases in the Equity Share Ownership Limits (or separate decreases in Common Share Ownership Limits or Preferred Share Ownership Limits) generally shall be made to ensure the Company’s continued status as a REIT, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
 
 
8

 
 
(k)   Limitations on Modifications.
 
(i)            The Equity Share Ownership Limit (including the Common Share Ownership Limit or the Preferred Share Ownership Limit) for a class or series of Equity Shares may not be increased and no additional Excepted Holder Limitations may be created if, after giving effect to such increase or creation, the Corporation would be “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code.
 
(ii)            Prior to any granting of or modification to the Equity Share Ownership Limit (including the Common Share Ownership Limit or the Preferred Share Ownership Limit) for any Person, whether or not an Excepted Holder, the Board of Directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require such opinions of counsel, IRS ruling, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary, advisable or prudent, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board, to determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT; provided, however that the Board of Directors shall not be obligated to require any such favorable ruling, opinion, affidavit, undertaking or agreement in order to create an Excepted Holde r Limit.
 
(l)   REIT Qualification – Board Authority.  The Board of Directors shall have the authority and shall use its best efforts to cause the Corporation to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a REIT.  Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, if the Board of Directors shall at any time determine that it is no longer in the best interests of the Corporation to continue to be qualified as a REIT, the Board of Directors may revoke or otherwise terminate the Corporation’s REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code.
 
Section 5.05          Shares-In-Trust.

(a)   Ownership in Trust. Upon any purported Transfer or Acquisition or other event or transaction described in Section 5.04(b) that results in Shares-in-Trust pursuant to Section 5.04(c), such Shares-in-Trust shall be deemed to have been Transferred to a Trust for the exclusive benefit of the Beneficiary. Shares-in-Trust so held in trust shall be issued and outstanding Equity Shares of the Corporation. The Purported Record Transferee or Purported Record Holder shall have no rights in such Shares-in-Trust except as specifically provided in this Section 5.05.

(b)   Distribution Rights. Shares-in-Trust shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges as all other Equity Shares of the same class or series. The Trustee will receive all dividends and distributions on the Shares-in-Trust and will hold such dividends and distributions in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution with a record date on or after the date that Equity Shares have been converted to Shares-in-Trust paid on such Equity Shares to the Purported Record Transferee or to the Purported Record Holder shall be repaid to the Trust, and any such dividend or distribution declared on such Equity Shares but unpaid shall be paid to the Trust, in each case for the benefit of the Beneficiary. The Corporation shall take all measures that it determines are reasonably necessary to recover the amount of any such dividend or distribution paid to the Purported Record Transferee or Purported Record Holder, including, if necessary, withholding any portion of future dividends or distributions payable on Equity Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by such Persons and, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Corporation’s receipt or withholding thereof, paying over to the Trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary the dividends or distributions so received or withheld, as the case may be.

(c)   Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any other similar distribution of the assets of the Corporation, each holder of Shares-in-Trust resulting from the conversion of Equity Shares of any specified class or series shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of Shares-in-Trust resulting from the conversion of Equity Shares of such class or series together with each holder of Equity Shares of such class or series, that portion of the remaining assets of the Corporation, as are due to holders of Preferred Shares of such class or series or available for distrib ution to the holders of such class of Common Shares, as applicable.
 
The Trustee shall distribute to the Purported Record Transferee or Purported Record Holder the amounts received upon such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or distribution, provided that the Purported Record Transferee or Purported Record Holder shall not be entitled to receive amounts pursuant to this Section 5.05(c) in excess of the price per share in the transaction that created such Shares-in-Trust (or, in the case of a gift or devise, the Market Price per share on the date of such Transfer). Any remaining amounts shall be distributed to the Beneficiary.
 
(d)   Voting Rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to vote the Shares-in-Trust on any matters on which holders of Equity Shares of the same class or series are entitled to vote (except as required otherwise by the MGCL). Any vote taken with respect to Equity Shares that have been converted into Shares-In-Trust prior to the discovery by the Corporation that such Equity Shares have been converted into Shares-in-Trust shall, subject to applicable law, be rescinded and be void ab initio and be recast by the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that if the Corporation has already taken irreversible corporate action based on such vote, then such vote shall not be rescinded and the Trustee shall not have the authority to recast such vote. The Purported Record Transferee or Purported Record Holder shall be deemed to have given, as of the date of the conversion of such Equity Shares into Shares-in-Trust pursuant to Section 5.04(c), an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote, in accordance with these Articles, the Shares-in-Trust in the manner in which the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, desires.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.04 or Section 5.05, until the Corporation has received notification that the Equity Shares have been converted into Shares-in-Trust, the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other Stockholder records for purposes of preparing lists of Stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes of Stockholders.

(e)   Restrictions on Transfer; Designation of Beneficiary; Sales of Shares-In-Trust.
 
(i)   Except as otherwise described in this Section 5.05(e), Shares-in-Trust shall not be transferable. The Beneficiary shall be one or more charitable organizations described in Code Section 501(c)(3) (but not including any private foundation as defined in Code Section 509(a)), Code Section 170(b)(1)(A) or Code Section 170(c)(2) named by the Corporation within five (5) days after the Trust is established. However, for purposes of sales by the Trustee as set forth in this Section 5.05(e), the Trustee shall designate a permitted transferee of the Equity Shares represented by such Shares-in-Trust provided that the transferee (1) purchases such Equity Shares for valuable consideration and (2) ac quires such Equity Shares without such acquisition resulting in another automatic conversion of Equity Shares into Shares-in-Trust. If the Corporation does not purchase the Shares-in-Trust pursuant to this Section 5.05(e), the Trustee shall (A) sell that number of Equity Shares represented by such Shares-in-Trust to the permitted transferee described above, (B) cause to be recorded on the books of the Corporation that the permitted transferee is the holder of record of such number of Equity Shares, and (C) cause the Shares-in-Trust to be canceled.
 
(ii)   In the event of a sale by the Trustee of the Equity Shares represented by such Shares-in-Trust, the Purported Record Transferee or Purported Record Holder shall receive from the Trustee a per share price equal to the lesser of (1) the price per share in the transaction that created such Shares-in-Trust (or, in the case of a gift or devise, the Market Price per share on the date of such transfer) and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee, provided that such price per share shall be net of any commissions and other expenses of the sale. The proceeds shall be sent to such Person within five (5) Business Days after the closing of such sale transaction.
 
 
10

 
 
(iii)          All Shares-in-Trust will be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, and the Corporation will have the right to accept such offer for a period of twenty (20) days after the later of (1) the date of the purported Transfer or Acquisition or other event or transaction described in Section 5.04(b) that results in such Shares-in-Trust, as set forth in a notice received by the Corporation pursuant to Section 5.04(e) and (2) if no such notice is received by the Corporation, the date the Corporation determines in good faith that a purported Transfer or Acquisition or other event or transaction described in Section 5.04(b) that results in such Shares-in-Trust occur red. If the Corporation accepts the offer to purchase such Shares-in-Trust, the purchase price per share shall be equal to the lesser of: (A) the price per share in the transaction that created such Shares-in-Trust (or, in the case of a gift or devise, the Market Price at the time of such gift or devise), or (B) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer.  The Corporation may reduce the amount payable in connection with the purchase of such Shares-in-Trust by the amount of any dividends and other distributions that have been paid to the Purported Record Transferee or the Purported Record Holder and are owed by the Purported Record Transferee or the Purported Record Holder to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.05(b).  The Corporation may pay the amount of such reduction to the Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiary.
 
(iv)          Any amounts received by the Trustee in excess of the amounts paid to the Purported Record Transferee or Purported Record Holder shall be distributed to the Beneficiary.
 
Section 5.06         Settlements. Nothing in Section 5.04 or Section 5.05 shall preclude the settlement of any transaction with respect to the Equity Shares entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or other national securities exchange on which the Equity Shares are listed. The fact that the settlement of any transaction occurs shall not negate the effect of any other provisions of Section 5.04 or Section 5.05, and any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in such Sections.
 
Section 5.07         Severability. If any provision of Section 5.04 or Section 5.05 or any application of any such provision is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of Section 5.04 or Section 5.05 shall not be affected and other applications of such provision shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court.
 
Section 5.08         Waiver. The Corporation shall have authority at any time to waive the requirements that Shares-in-Trust be issued or be deemed outstanding in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.04 or Section 5.05 if the Corporation determines, based on an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel, that the issuance of such Shares-in-Trust or the fact that such Shares-in-Trust are deemed to be outstanding, would jeopardize the status of the Corporation as a REIT.  No delay or failure on the part of the Corporation or the Board of Directors in exercising any right under this Section 5.08 shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.
 
Section 5.09         Business Combination Statute; Control Share Acquisition Statute.  The provisions of Subtitles 6 (Special Voting Requirements) and 7 (Voting Rights of Certain Control Shares) of Title 3 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the MGCL shall not apply to the Corporation unless the Board of Directors elects by resolution to be subject, in whole or in part, specifically, generally or generally by types, as to specifically identified or unidentified stockholders, to the provisions of either or both Subtitles.
 
Section 5.10         Vote Required. Notwithstanding any provision of law requiring any action to be taken or authorized by the affirmative vote of the holders of a greater proportion of the votes of all classes or of any class of stock of the Corporation, such action shall be effective and valid if taken or authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast thereon, except as otherwise provided by these Articles or the Bylaws.

The first dividend will be paid on May 17, 2004, with respect to the period commencing on the date of issue and ending on April 30, 2004. Any dividend payable on the Series D Preferred Stock for any partial period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stock records of the Company at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the last day of the preceding calendar month prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date or on such other date designated by the Board of Directors of the Company that is not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”).
 
(b)    No dividends on shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Company at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.
 
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared and whether or not such is prohibited by agreement. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock will not bear interest and holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any distributions in excess of full cumulative distributions described above. Except as set forth in the next sentence, no dividends will be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any capital stock of the Company or any other series of Preferred Stock ranking, as to dividends, on a par ity with or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock (other than a dividend in shares of the Company’s Common Stock or in shares of any other class of stock ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment on the Series D Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period. When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series D Preferred Stock and the shares of any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series D Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series D Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series D Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata s o that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series D Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series D Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other.
 
 
 

 
 
(d)    Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, unless full cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no dividends (other than in shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon the Common Stock, or any other capital stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends or u pon liquidation, nor shall any shares of Common Stock, or any other shares of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Company (except by conversion into or exchange for other capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation or redemptions for the purpose of preserving the Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock as provided above. Any dividend payment made on shares o f the Series D Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares which remains payable.
 
5.    Liquidation Preference.    Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its shareholders a liquidation preference of $25 per share in cash or property at its fair market value as determined by the board of directors (the “Liquidation Preference”), plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of payment, but without interest, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Company that ranks junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights. The Company will promptly provide to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock written notice of any event triggering the right to receive such Liquidation Preference. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to which they are entitled, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. The consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, trust or entity or of any other corporation with or into the Company, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; pr ovided that, in each case, effective provision is made in the organizational documents of the resulting or surviving entity or otherwise for the rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock to receive dividends and participate in any distribution upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of such resulting or surviving entity in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Article Third.
 
In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation) by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Company or otherwise is permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), no effect shall be given to amounts that would be needed if the Company would be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon distribution of holders of shares of stock of the Company whose preferential rights upon distribution are superior to those receiving the distribution.
 
 
 

 
 
6.   Redemption.
 
(a)    The Series D Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to February 10, 2009 subject, however, to the provisions in paragraph (9) of this Article Third. On and after February 10, 2009, the Company, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, may redeem shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption (except with respect to any shares of Series D Preferred Stock that constitute Excess Shares (as defined in paragraph 9 of this Article Third)) without interest. No shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be rede emed except with assets legally available for the payment of the redemption price.
 
Holders of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such Series D Preferred Stock at the place designated in such notice and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption following such surrender. If notice of redemption of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside, separate and apart from other funds, by the Company in trust for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of Series D Preferred Stock, such shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of t he holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price. If less than all of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method determined by the Company.
 
(b)    Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Company shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series D Preferred Stock (except by exchange for capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the pu rchase by the Company of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock that constitute Excess Shares in order to ensure that the Company continues to meet the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code, or the purchase or acquisition of shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock. So long as no dividends are in arrears, the Company shall be entitled at any time and from time to time to repurchase shares of Series D Preferred Stock in open-market transactions duly authorized by the Board of Directors and effected in compliance with applicable laws.
 
(c)    Notice of redemption will be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York, such publication to be made once a week for two successive weeks commencing not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. A similar notice will be mailed by the Company, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Company. No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series D Pr eferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places where the Series D Preferred Stock is to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date. If less than all of the Series D Preferred Stock held by any holder is to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.
 
 
 

 
 
(d)    Immediately prior to any redemption of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid dividends through the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case each holder of Series D Preferred Stock at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such Dividend Payment Date.
 
(e)    Excess Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time when outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock are being redeemed, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per share, but excluding accrued and unpaid dividends on such Excess Shares, without interest. Such Excess Shares shall be redeemed in such proportion and in accordance with such procedures as shares of Series D Preferred Stock are being redeemed.
 
(f)    All Series D Preferred Shares redeemed pursuant to this Section 6 shall be retired and shall be reclassified as authorized and unissued preferred shares, without designation as to class or series, and may thereafter be reissued as any class or series of preferred shares.
 
7.   Voting Rights.    
 
(a)    Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as set forth below.
 
(b)    Whenever dividends on any shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be in arrears for any six or more quarterly dividend periods, regardless of whether such quarterly periods are consecutive (a “Preferred Dividend Default”), the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two (if not already increased by reason of a similar arrearage respect to any Parity Preferred (as hereinafter defined). The holders of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with all other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation (“Parity Preferred”) upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) will be entitled to vote separately as a class, in order to fill the vacancies thereby created, for the election of a total of two additional directors of the Company (the “Preferred Stock Directors”) at a special meeting called by the holders of record of at least 20% of the Series D Preferred Stock or the holders of record of at least 20% of any series of Parity Preferred so in arrears (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the shareholders) or at the next annual meeting of shareholders, and at each subsequent annual meeting until all dividends accumulated on such shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Parity Preferred for the past dividend periods and the dividend for the then current dividend period shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. In the event the directors of the Company are divided into classes, each such vacancy shall be apportioned among the classes of directors to prevent stacking in any one class and to insure that the number of directors in each of the classes of directors are as equal as possible. Each Preferred Stock Director, as a qualification for election as such (and regardless of how elected) shall submit to the Board of Directors of the Company a duly executed, valid, binding and enforceable letter of resignation from the Board of Directors, to be effective upon the date upon which all dividends accumulated on such shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Parity Preferred for the past dividend periods and the dividend for the then current dividend period shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon the terms of office of all persons elected as Preferred Stock Director s by the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Preferred shall, upon the effectiveness of their respective letters of resignation, forthwith terminate, and the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. A quorum for any such meeting shall exist if at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock and shares of Parity Preferred upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable are represented in person or by proxy at such meeting. Such Preferred Stock Directors shall be elected upon the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred present and voting in person or by proxy at a duly called and held meeting at which a quorum is present. If and when all accumulated dividends and the dividend for the then current dividend period on the Series D Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or declared and set aside for payment in full , the holders thereof shall be divested of the foregoing voting rights (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Dividend Default) and, if all accumulated dividends and the dividend for the then current dividend period have been paid in full or set aside for payment in full on all series of Parity Preferred upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the term of office of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate. Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by, and shall not be removed otherwise than by the vote of, the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock when they have the voting rights described above (voting separately as a class with all series of Parity Preferred upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). So long as a Preferred Dividend Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred S tock Director may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock when they have the voting rights described above (voting separately as a class with all series of Parity Preferred upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter.
 
 
 

 
 
(c)    So long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class):
 
(i)     amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Charter or the Articles Supplementary, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise (an “Event”), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series D Preferred Stock or the holders thereof;
 
(ii)    authorize, create or issue, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of shares of Preferred Stock or rights to subscribe to or acquire any class or series of shares of Preferred Stock or any security convertible into any class or series of shares of Preferred Stock, in each case ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or reclassify any shares of Preferred Stock into any such shares; provided, however, that with respect to the occurrence of any Event set forth above, so long as the Series D Preferred Stock (or any equivalent class or series of stoc k issued by the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation to which the Company became a party) remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, the occurrence of any such Event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of holders of the Series D Preferred Stock; and provided, further, that (i) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any other series of Preferred Stock, or (ii) any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.
 
(d)    The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.
 
(e)    Except as expressly stated in these Articles Supplementary, the Series D Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action, including but not limited to, any merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, irrespective of the effect that such merger, consolidation or sale may have upon the rights, preferences or voting power of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock.
 
 
 

 
 
8.    Conversion.    The Series D Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company.
 
9.    Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer.    Once there is a completed public offering of the Series D Preferred Stock, if the Board of Directors shall, at any time and in good faith, be of the opinion that actual or constructive ownership of at least 9.9% or more of the value of the outstanding capital stock of the Company (“Excess Shares”) has or may become concentrated in the hands of one owner, the Board of Directors shall have the power (i) by means deemed equitable by the Board of Directors, and p ursuant to written notice, to call for the purchase from any shareholder of the corporation a number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock sufficient, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of such beneficial owner to no more than 9.9% of the value of the outstanding capital stock of the corporation, and (ii) to refuse to transfer or issue shares of Series D Preferred Stock to any person whose acquisition of such Series D Preferred Stock would, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, result in the direct or indirect ownership by that person of more than 9.9% of the value of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. The purchase price for any shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be equal to the fair market value of the shares reflected in the closing sales price for the shares, if then listed on a national securities exchange, or if the shares are not then listed on a national securities exchange, the purchase price sh all be equal to the redemption price of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Payment of the purchase price shall be made within thirty days following the date set forth in the notice of call for purchase and shall be made in such manner as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. From and after the date fixed for purchase by the Board of Directors, as set forth in the notice, the holder of any shares so called for purchase shall cease to be entitled to dividends, and other benefits with respect to such shares, excepting only the right to payment of the purchase price fixed as aforesaid. Any transfer of Series D Preferred Shares that would create an actual or constructive owner of more than 9.9% of the value of the outstanding shares of capital stock of this Company shall be deemed void ab initio and the intended transferee shall be deemed never to have had an interest therein. If the foregoing provision is determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the transferee of such Series D Preferred Shares shall be deemed, at the option of the corporation, to have acted as agent on behalf of the Company in acquiring such shares and to hold such shares on behalf of the Company.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its transfer agent may refuse to transfer any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, passing either by voluntary transfer, by operation of law, or under the last will and testament of any shareholder if such transfer would or might, in the opinion of the Board of Directors or counsel to the Company, disqualify the Company as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code. Nothing herein contained shall limit the ability of the corporation to impose or to seek judicial or other imposition of additional restrictions if deemed necessary or advisable to preserve the Company’s tax status as a qualified Real Estate Investment Trust. Nothing herein contained shall preclude settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange.
 
10.   No Preemptive Rights.    No holder of Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to any preemptive rights to subscribe for or acquire any unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Company (whether now or hereafter authorized) or securities of the Company convertible into or carrying a right to subscribe to or acquire shares of Preferred Stock of the Company.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
 
Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Presented herein is the unaudited combined statement of revenues and certain expenses of a portion of the healthcare-related assets and liabilities of CapitalSource Inc.’s (“CapitalSource”) direct real estate business owned by subsidiaries of CapitalSource Healthcare REIT (the “Healthcare Real Estate Carve-out of CapitalSource Inc.: Closing II” or the “Sale Properties”), to be sold to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“OHI”), a publicly traded company, in consideration for the assumption of debt and cash. The specific properties and terms of the sale are outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement between CapitalSource and OHI.  The composition of the Sale Properties is defined below.

The combined statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the actual operations of the Sale Properties. Accordingly, the combined financial statement excludes certain expenses because they may not be comparable to those expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the Sale Properties.  Items excluded consist primarily of allocated income tax charges, which may not be comparable to future operations. Consistent with CapitalSource’s treatment of the Sale Properties in its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010, depreciation ceased on November 1, 2009 as a result of the Sale Properties being classified as held for sale and presented as discontinued operations therein.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Our financial reporting and accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’).

We have conducted our subsequent events review through May 17, 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of revenues and certain expenses of the Sale Properties during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Combination
 
The accompanying financial statement reflects our combined accounts of the Sale Properties. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Real Estate Investments

In assessing lease intangibles, we recognize above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired operating leases based on the present value of the difference between: (1) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition of the facilities; and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the facility or equivalent facility, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. Factors to be considered for lease intangibles also include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical lease-up periods, market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease values are classified as intangible lease assets, net, and lease obligations, net, respectively, and a re amortized into operating lease income over the remaining non-cancelable term of each lease.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
 
Operating Lease Income Recognition
 
Substantially all of our real estate investments are leased to unrelated third parties through long-term, triple-net operating leases that typically include fixed rental payments, subject to escalation over the life of the lease. We recognize operating lease income on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease when collectability is reasonably assured. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, straight-line rental revenues totaling $0.4 million were recognized as a component of operating lease income in our combined statement of revenues and certain expenses.
 
We do not recognize any revenue on contingent rents until payments are received and all contingencies have been met.
 
Income Taxes
 
We expect that the Sale Properties will reside in a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and generally will not be subject to corporate income taxes to the extent it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses.

Note 3.  Commitments and Contingencies

We identified conditional asset retirement obligations primarily related to the future removal and disposal of asbestos that is contained within certain of our real estate investment properties. The asbestos is appropriately contained, and we believe we are compliant with current environmental regulations. If these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished, certain environmental regulations are in place, which specify the manner in which asbestos must be handled and disposed.

From time to time we are party to legal proceedings. We do not believe that any currently pending or threatened proceedings, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our combined statement of revenues and certain expenses.

Note 4.  Borrowings
 
Mortgage Debt
 
We had mortgage debt totaling $184.3 million as of March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, our mortgage debt comprised eleven mortgage loans totaling $55.1 million assumed in 2006 and 2007 on the acquisition of certain of our real estate investment properties and guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (“HUD”) and collateralized by eleven of our real estate investment properties. As of March 31, 2010, our mortgage debt also comprised an additional 18 new mortgage loans totaling $129.2 million guaranteed by HUD, collateralized by 29 of our real estate investment properties and which we entered into in December 2009. The weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2010 on the assumed mortgage loans was 6.61% and on the new mortgage loans was 4.85%. The weighted average maturity as of March 31, 2 010 on the assumed mortgage loans was 27 years and on the new mortgage loans was 33 years. Interest expense on this debt for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $2.5 million.
 
Subordinated Debt

In November 2006, in connection with the acquisition of eleven properties, we entered into an aggregate of $20 million junior subordinated unsecured seller notes. The term of the notes is 15 years, and interest is payable quarterly at a fixed rate of 9.0%. The interest on these notes is due and payable only to the extent that there is rent being received from the tenants of the acquired properties to cover the interest expense related to this debt. Principal is due at the end of the 15-year period in December 2021, but only to the extent that all rent has been paid for the 15-year term of the debt.  As of March 31, 2010, all rent had been paid in full. Interest expense on this debt for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.4 million.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
 
 
Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Presented herein is the unaudited combined statement of revenues and certain expenses of a portion of the healthcare-related assets and liabilities of CapitalSource Inc.’s (“CapitalSource”) direct real estate business owned by subsidiaries of CapitalSource Healthcare REIT, (the “Healthcare Real Estate Carve-out of CapitalSource Inc.: Closing III” or the “Sale Properties”) to be sold to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“OHI”), a publicly traded company. The sale is contingent on OHI’s exercise of a non-refundable option, for which CapitalSource received shares of OHI. The specific properties and terms of the sale are outlined in the Casablanca Option Agreement between CapitalSource and OHI. In April 2010, we received written notice that OHI is electing to exercise the option to acquire the properties, with a proposed closing date in June 2010. These assets were included in CapitalSource’s continuing operations through March 31, 2010 as they did not meet the criteria to be held for sale as of March 31, 2010. The composition of the Sale Properties is defined below.

The combined statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the actual operations of the Sale Properties. Accordingly, the combined financial statement excludes certain expenses because they may not be comparable to those expected to be incurred in the future operations of the Sale Properties. Items excluded consist primarily of allocated income tax charges, which may not be comparable to future operations.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Our financial reporting and accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’).

We have conducted our subsequent events review through May 17, 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of revenues and certain expenses of the Sale Properties during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Combination
 
The accompanying financial statement reflects our combined accounts of the Sale Properties. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Real Estate Investments

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements. Furniture and equipment related to our real estate investments are depreciated over seven and five year periods, respectively.

In assessing lease intangibles, we recognize above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired operating leases based on the present value of the difference between: (1) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition of the facilities; and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the facility or equivalent facility, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. Factors to be considered for lease intangibles also include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical lease-up periods, market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease values are classified as intangible lease assets, net, and lease obligations, net, respectively, and a re amortized into operating lease income over the remaining non-cancelable term of each lease.
 
Deferred Financing Fees
 
Deferred financing fees represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with our borrowings.  These amounts are amortized into income as interest expense over the estimated life of the borrowing using the interest method.
 
Operating Lease Income Recognition
 
Substantially all of our real estate investments are leased to unrelated third parties through long-term, triple-net operating leases that typically include fixed rental payments, subject to escalation over the life of the lease. We recognize operating lease income on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease when collectability is reasonably assured. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, straight-line rental revenues totaling $0.2 million were recognized as a component of operating lease income in our combined statement of revenues and certain expenses.
 
We do not recognize any revenue on contingent rents until payments are received and all contingencies have been met.
 
Income Taxes
 
We expect that the Sale Properties will reside in a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and generally will not be subject to corporate income taxes to the extent it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses.

Note 3.  Commitments and Contingencies

We identified conditional asset retirement obligations primarily related to the future removal and disposal of asbestos that is contained within certain of our real estate investment properties. The asbestos is appropriately contained, and we believe we are compliant with current environmental regulations. If these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished, certain environmental regulations are in place, which specify the manner in which asbestos must be handled and disposed.

From time to time we are party to legal proceedings. We do not believe that any currently pending or threatened proceedings, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our combined statement of revenues and certain expenses.

Note 4.  Borrowings
 
Mortgage Debt
 
As of March 31, 2010, our mortgage debt consisted of a senior loan of $227.8 million and a mezzanine loan of $33.7 million collateralized by 63 real estate investment properties. Both loans mature on April 9, 2011 and have a one-year extension option exercisable at our option. The interest rate under the senior loan is one-month LIBOR plus 1.54%, and the interest rate under the mezzanine loan is one-month LIBOR plus 4%. As of March 31, 2010, the one-month LIBOR was 0.25%. Interest expense on this debt for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.6 million, which included amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.2 million.

Note 5.  Related Party Transactions

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, certain management, administrative and operational services of CapitalSource were shared between the Sale Properties and other CapitalSource operations. For purposes of financial statement presentation, the costs for these shared services have been allocated to the Sale Properties based on actual direct costs incurred and an allocation of indirect costs. CapitalSource’s management believes that the allocations are reasonable.  However, actual expenses may be materially different from the allocated expenses if the Sale Properties had operated as an unaffiliated stand-alone entity.

Our combined statement of revenues and certain expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010, includes the following related party income and expenses ($ in thousands):

       
       
Allocated interest income(1)
  $ 23  
Allocated general and administrative expenses(2)
    1,052  

(1)
Represents an allocation of interest income earned on cash held and managed by CapitalSource on our behalf.
   
(2)
To facilitate operating efficiency, CapitalSource provides office space, equipment, certain administrative support, and other assistance to the Sale Properties. As a result, overhead expenses (including compensation and benefits) have been allocated to the Sale Properties at cost based on the relative value of its real estate assets to CapitalSource’s portfolio.
