Introductory Note

On June 25, 2018 (the “Closing”), OMH Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser”), in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement dated January 3, 2018 (the “SPA”), completed its purchase of 54,937,500 shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of OneMain Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OneMain” or the “Company”), beneficially owned by Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SFH” or “Seller”), at a purchase price per share of $26.00, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,428,375,000 in cash (the “Private Sale”). As of June 25, 2018, the Purchased Shares represented approximately 40.5% of the outstanding Company Common Stock. 
 
Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2018, in connection with the Private Sale and pursuant to the SPA, the Company and Purchaser entered into an amended and restated Stockholders Agreement (the “A&R Stockholders Agreement”) containing, among other things, certain provisions described below.

Board Representation . For so long as Purchaser (together with any Permitted Transferees (as defined in the A&R Stockholders Agreement) (Purchaser and any Permitted Transferees, collectively the “Stockholders”)) beneficially owns: (a) at least 33% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and other securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company (together, the “Company Securities”), Purchaser will be entitled to designate a number of directors equal to the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), plus one (1) director and in these circumstances the majority of the directors of the Board shall be independent (the “Independent Directors”), (b) less than 33%, but at least 20%, of the Company Securities, Purchaser will be entitled to designate a number of directors equal to the majority of the Board, minus one (1) director, unless the Board consists of six (6) or fewer directors, in which case, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate two (2) directors to the Board, (c) less than 20%, but at least 10%, of the Company Securities, Purchaser will be entitled to designate a number of directors proportional to its interest (rounded up to the nearest whole number), unless the Board consists of six (6) or fewer directors, in which case, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate two (2) directors to the Board, and (d) less than 10%, but at least 5%, of the Company Securities, Purchaser will be entitled to designate a number of directors proportional to its interest (rounded up to the nearest whole number), unless the Board consists of six (6) or fewer directors, in which case, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate one (1) director to the Board.  Purchaser’s right to nominate directors to the Board may not be transferred to a subsequent acquirer of its shares of the Company Securities. The Company covenants to take all reasonable actions to cause to be elected, and to continue in office, such nominees of Purchaser.

Voting Obligations . Purchaser shall refrain from taking any action to remove, or voting in favor of the removal, from the Board, prior to the expiration of their existing respective terms, Jay N. Levine, Roy A. Guthrie and Anahaita N. Kotval, in each case other than for cause.

Standstill Provisions . The Stockholders agree that, during the period beginning on the date the A&R Stockholders Agreement was executed and ending on the earlier of (i) January 3, 2020 and (ii) such time as the Stockholders collectively have beneficial ownership of less than 20% of the Company Securities (the “Standstill Period”), they shall not, and shall cause certain of their affiliates (such affiliates, “Controlled Affiliates”), and shall direct their representatives acting at their direction, and shall cause their Controlled Affiliates’ representatives acting at such Controlled Affiliates’ direction, not to, directly or indirectly, as part of a “group” (as such term is applied under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)), effect, or enter into any agreement to effect, (x) any acquisition of any Company Securities, or rights or options to acquire any Company Securities, in each case, whether or not any of the foregoing may be acquired or obtained immediately or only after the passage of time or upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or otherwise or (y) any tender or exchange offer, consolidation, business combination, acquisition, merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company or a material portion of the assets of the Company, in each case without the approval of the majority of the Independent Directors who are disinterested and independent under Delaware law (the “Disinterested Directors”), in each case subject to certain exceptions.  Six (6) months after the Closing, the Stockholders may purchase additional shares of Company Securities so that the Stockholders own, in the aggregate (including Company Securities previously owned by Purchaser and its affiliates), up to a maximum beneficial ownership of 52% of the outstanding shares of Company Securities.
2

Matters Reserved for Approval of the Disinterested Directors . For as long as the Stockholders have beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the Company Securities, the following actions shall require the approval of the majority of the Disinterested Directors: (a) any transaction or series of transactions between any Stockholder or any of their respective affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, that could reasonably be expected to have a value in excess of $30,000,000 (other than ordinary course purchases of asset-backed securities from the Company or any of its subsidiaries on arms-length, market terms in an amount not exceeding $500,000,000 in any transaction), (b) any enforcement or waiver of the rights of the Company or any of its subsidiaries under any agreement between the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Stockholder or any of their respective affiliates, on the other hand, and (c) any management, monitoring, service, transaction or other similar fee payable to any Stockholder or any of their respective affiliates, with the exception of certain pre-approved transactions.

Until January 3, 2021, each Stockholder shall not, and shall cause each of its affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with any other person, engage in any “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act without the approval of the majority of the Disinterested Directors. Until January 3, 2020, each Stockholder shall not transfer (or enter into an agreement to transfer), record or beneficial ownership of any Company Securities to a person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) without the approval of the majority of the Disinterested Directors.

Registration Rights . Following 180 days after the Closing, the Stockholders will be entitled to customary demand and piggyback registration rights, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks.

Termination . The A&R Stockholders Agreement will automatically terminate on the date the Stockholders beneficially own less than 1% of the Voting Power of the Company (as defined in the A&R Stockholders Agreement).

The foregoing summary of the A&R Stockholders Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the A&R Stockholders Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference herein.

The descriptions of the indemnification agreements referenced in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference herein.
 
Item 5.01
Change in Control of Registrant.

Reference is made to the Introductory Note and Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated into this Item 5.01 by reference herein.

In connection with the Closing and the execution of the A&R Stockholders Agreement, on June 25, 2018:

 
the size of the Board increased to nine (9) directors;
 
three (3) directors who served on the Board prior to the Closing, Wesley R. Edens, Douglas L. Jacobs and Ronald M. Lott, resigned; such directors resigned solely in connection with the Closing and had no disagreement with management;
 
Purchaser’s designees to the Board, Matthew R. Michelini, Peter B. Sinensky, Marc E. Becker, Aneek S. Mamik, Valerie Soranno Keating and Richard A. Smith, were appointed as directors of the Board; and
 
Jay N. Levine was appointed as Chairman of the Board.

Because Purchaser became entitled to designate a majority of the directors of the Board, there was a change of control of the Company as of the Closing.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Reference is made to Item 1.01 and Item 5.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference herein.

(i)              a number of directors equal to a majority of the Board, plus one director, shall be individuals designated by the Acquisition Entity, for so long as the Stockholders, together, have Beneficial Ownership of at least 33% of the Voting Power of the Company, provided that if this clause (i) is applicable, at least a majority of the Board shall be Independent Directors;
 
(ii)             a number of directors equal to a majority of the Board, minus one director, shall be individuals designated by the Acquisition Entity, for so long as the Stockholders, together, have Beneficial Ownership of less than 33% but at least 20% of the Voting Power of the Company, provided that if the Board consists of six or fewer directors, then the Acquisition Entity shall have the right to designate a number of directors equal to two directors;
 
(iii)            a number of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) that would be required to maintain the Acquisition Entity’s proportional representation on the Board shall be individuals designated by the Acquisition Entity, for so long as the Stockholders, together, have Beneficial Ownership of less than 20% but at least 10% of the Voting Power of the Company, provided that if the Board consists of six or fewer directors, then the Acquisition Entity shall have the right to designate a number of directors equal to two directors; and
 
7

(iv)            a number of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) that would be required to maintain the Acquisition Entity’s proportional representation on the Board shall be individuals designated by the Acquisition Entity, for so long as the Stockholders, together, have Beneficial Ownership of less than 10% but at least 5% of the Voting Power of the Company, provided that if the Board consists of six or fewer directors, then the Acquisition Entity shall have the right to designate a number of directors equal to one director.
 
(b)        If the Acquisition Entity notifies the Stockholders of its desire to remove, with or without cause, any director previously designated by it, the Stockholders shall vote or cause to be voted all of the shares of Company Securities held of record by such Stockholders or Beneficially Owned by such Stockholders by virtue of having voting power over such Company Securities and the Company and the Stockholders shall take all other reasonable actions within their control to cause the removal of such director.  No Stockholder shall take any action to remove, or vote in favor of the removal, from the Board of any of the three (3) directors set forth on Schedule 3.01 prior to the expiration of the term set forth next to each director’s name on Schedule 3.01 , in each case other than for cause.
 
(c)        The Company agrees to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board those persons designated by the Acquisition Entity in accordance with Section 3.01(a) and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the election of each such designee to the Board, including nominating such designees to be elected as directors, in each case subject to applicable law.

Any vacancies created by such resignation may remain vacant until the next annual meeting of stockholders or filled by a majority vote of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such designated director(s) need not resign from the Board at or prior to the end of such director’s term if the Company’s nominating committee recommends the nomination of such director(s) for election at the next annual meeting coinciding with the end of such director’s term, or otherwise (and for the avoidance of doubt, such director shall no longer be considered a designee of the Acquisition Entity).

In addition, the Company shall provide the Observers with copies of all notices, consents, resolutions, minutes or other written materials provided to the Board (and to any committee thereof other than the compensation and audit committees) at the same time and in the same manner such materials are circulated to the Board (and to any committee thereof other than the compensation and audit committees); provided that each Observer shall execute and deliver to the Company a confidentiality agreement substantially in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company prior to receiving such information; provided , further , that an Observer may share all information received or observed in his or her capacity as an Observer with the Acquisition Entity and its equityholders, including their advisors.

(i)             the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Stockholders for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand, which may be an Underwritten Offering;
 
(ii)            all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 4.01(b) ; and

all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional Common Stock, if any, to be so registered.
 
(b)        A Demand shall specify: (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known and (iii) the identity of the Requesting Stockholder (or Requesting Stockholders). Within five days after receipt of a Demand, the Company shall give written notice of such Demand to any other Persons that on the date a Demand is delivered to the Company is a Stockholder (excluding Permitted Transferees which have not signed a joinder as contemplated by Section 2.01 ). Subject to Section 4.01(f) , the Company shall include in the Demand Registration covered by such Demand all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein.

(c)        Each Stockholder shall be entitled to an unlimited number of Demand Registrations until such time as the Stockholders, together, Beneficially Own less than a Registrable Amount.
 
11

(d)        Demand Registrations shall be on such registration form of the Commission for which the Company is eligible as shall be selected by the Requesting Stockholders whose shares represent a majority of the Registrable Securities that the Company has been requested to register, including, to the extent permissible, an automatically effective registration statement or an existing effective registration statement filed by the Company with the Commission, and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
 
(e)         The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration (A) within one month of a “firm commitment” Underwritten Offering in which all Stockholders were given “piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 4.02 (subject to Section 4.01(f) ) and provided that at least 50% of the number of Registrable Securities requested by such Stockholders to be included in such Demand Registration were included) or (B) within one month of any other Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 4.03(e) . In addition, the Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to all Stockholders) for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 60 days in succession the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any Demand Registration (but no more than twice, or for more than 90 days in the aggregate, in any period of 12 consecutive months) if the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration would cause the disclosure of material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential. In the event of a postponement by the Company of the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration, the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities held by the Requesting Stockholder(s) shall have the right to withdraw such Demand in accordance with Section 4.04 .
 
(f)          The Company shall not include any securities other than Registrable Securities in a Demand Registration, except with the written consent of Stockholders participating in such Demand Registration that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration. If, in connection with a Demand Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Demand Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, a nationally recognized investment bank engaged in connection with such Demand Registration) advises the Company, that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities, including securities of the Company that are not Registrable Securities, sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the marketability of the Registrable Securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the Company shall include in such registration statement only such securities as the Company is advised by such underwriter or investment bank can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Stockholders, which, in the opinion of the underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata among such Stockholders requesting such Demand Registration on the basis of the number of such securities held by such Stockholders and such Stockholders that are Piggyback Sellers; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be included in such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the number of such other securities requested to be included or such other method determined by the Company.

Such notice (a “ Piggyback Notice ”) shall specify, at a minimum, the number of equity securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means of distribution and the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters (if any and if known). Upon the written request of any Person that on the date of such Piggyback Notice is a Stockholder, given within five days after such Piggyback Notice is received by such Person (any such Persons, a “ Piggyback Seller ”) (which written request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities then presently intended to be disposed of by such Piggyback Seller), the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities held by Piggyback Sellers with respect to which the Company has received such written requests for inclusion to be included in such Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s equity securities being sold in such Piggyback Registration.
 
(b)         If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Piggyback Registration is not an Underwritten Offering, a nationally recognized investment bank engaged in connection with such Demand Registration) advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all the equity securities sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by (i) the Company, (ii) others who have sought to have equity securities of the Company registered in such Piggyback Registration pursuant to rights to Demand (other than pursuant to so-called “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights) such registration (such Persons being “ Other Demanding Sellers ”), (iii) the Piggyback Sellers and (iv) any other proposed sellers of equity securities of the Company (such Persons being “ Other Proposed Sellers ”), as the case may be, would adversely affect the marketability of the equity securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Piggyback Registration only such equity securities as the Company is so advised by such underwriter or investment bank can be sold without such an effect, as follows and in the following order of priority:
 
13

(i)              if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of equity securities to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its reasonable judgment and acting in good faith and in accordance with sound financial practice, shall have determined, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers and securities sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers (if any), pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Piggyback Sellers and Other Demanding Sellers and (C) third, other equity securities held by any Other Proposed Sellers; or
 
(ii)             if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of equity securities sought to be registered by each Other Demanding Seller and the Piggyback Sellers (if any), pro rata in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by all such Other Demanding Sellers and Piggyback Sellers and (B) second, other equity securities held by any Other Proposed Sellers or to be sold by the Company as determined by the Company and with such priorities among them as may from time to time be determined or agreed to by the Company.
 
(c)         In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 4.02 for the Company’s account, the Company shall not be required to include a holder’s Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering unless such holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company; provided that any applicable Underwriting Agreement includes only customary terms and conditions.
 
(d)         If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any of its equity securities as set forth in this Section 4.02 and prior to the time the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration is declared effective, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Stockholder and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith as provided herein); provided that Stockholders may continue the registration as a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 4.01 .

(b)         The Acquisition Entity and its Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to require the Company to file an unlimited number of Shelf Registration Statements until such time as the Stockholders, together, Beneficially Own less than a Registrable Amount.
 
(c)         Within five business days after receipt of a Shelf Notice pursuant to Section 4.03(a) , the Company will deliver written notice thereof to each Stockholder (excluding Permitted Transferees which have not signed a joinder as contemplated by Section 2.01 ).

(d)         Subject to Section 4.03(e) , the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise (the “ Shelf Registration Effectiveness Period ”).
 
(e)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing notice to the Stockholders who elected to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such Stockholders to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 60 days in succession or 90 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period (a “ Suspension Period ”) if the Board determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that it is required to disclose in the Shelf Registration Statement material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Stockholders covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made as required below. Any Suspension Period shall terminate at such time as the public disclosure of such information is made. After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a Stockholder, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
15

(f)          At any time, and from time-to-time, during the Shelf Registration Effectiveness Period (except during a Suspension Period), each of the Acquisition Entity or any of its Permitted Transferees (in each case to the extent a Stockholder hereunder) may notify the Company of their intent to sell Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (in whole or in part) in an Underwritten Offering (a “ Shelf Underwritten Offering ”); provided that the Company shall not be obligated to participate in more than four underwritten offerings during any twelve-month period. Such notice shall specify (x) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Shelf Underwritten Offering and (y) the identity of the Stockholder(s) requesting such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Upon receipt by the Company of such notice, the Company shall promptly comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including those provisions of Section 4.05 relating the Company’s obligation to make Filings with the Commission, assist in the preparation and filing with the Commission of prospectus supplements and amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, participate in “road shows,” agree to customary “lock-up” agreements with respect to the Company’s securities and obtain “comfort” letters, and the Company shall take such other actions as necessary or appropriate to permit the consummation of such Shelf Underwritten Offering as promptly as practicable.

In any Shelf Underwritten Offering, the Company shall select the investment bank(s) and managers that will serve as lead or co-managing underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Stockholders participating in such Shelf Underwritten Offering that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering.
 
Section 4.04.       Withdrawal Rights .  Any Stockholder having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such effect to the Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn; provided , however , that in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable give each holder of Registrable Securities sought to be registered notice to such effect and, within ten days following the mailing of such notice, such holder(s) of Registrable Securities still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional Registrable Securities, when taken together with elections to register Registrable Securities by its Permitted Transferees, to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn.

23

Section 5.02.       Registration Statement Indemnification .  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder, its officers, directors, employees, managers, members, partners and Affiliates, such Selling Holder or such other indemnified Person from and against all Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with an Underwritten Offering and without limiting any of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall also indemnify such underwriters, their officers, directors, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriters or such other indemnified Person to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification (and exceptions thereto) of the holders of Registrable Securities being sold. Reimbursements payable pursuant to the indemnification contemplated by this Section 5.02(a) will be made by periodic payments during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.
 
(b)         In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Selling Holder will furnish to the Company in writing information regarding such Selling Holder’s ownership of Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution thereof and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or such other indemnified Person against all Losses caused by any untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is caused by and contained in such information so furnished in writing by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided , however , that each Selling Holder’s obligation to indemnify the Company hereunder shall, to the extent more than one Selling Holder is subject to the same indemnification obligation, be apportioned between each Selling Holder based upon the net amount received by each Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities, as compared to the total net amount received by all of the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder shall be liable to the Company for amounts in excess of the lesser of (i) such apportionment and (ii) the net amount received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.
 
24

Section 5.03.       Contribution .  (a) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective Persons are entitled, there shall be considered the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder or transferee thereof shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net amount received by such holder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.
 
Section 5.04.       Procedure.   (a) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided , however , the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.
 
(b)         In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or is reasonably likely to be prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining separate legal counsel). The indemnifying party shall lose its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled in accordance with the next following sentence).
 
Section 5.05.       Other Matters .  (a) An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an Action effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Action.
 
25

(b)         Any Losses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article 5 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such Losses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, the Company, its directors or officers, or any Person controlling the Company, and (ii) any termination of this Agreement.
 
(c)         The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with each other in a reasonable manner with respect to access to unprivileged information and similar matters in connection with any Action. The provisions of this Article 5 are for the benefit of, and are intended to create third party beneficiary rights in favor of, each of the indemnified parties referred to herein.
 
(d)         Not less than three days before the expected filing date of each registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall notify each Stockholder who has timely provided the requisite notice hereunder entitling the Stockholder to register Registrable Securities in such registration statement of the information, documents and instruments from such Stockholder that the Company or any underwriter reasonably requests in connection with such registration statement, including, but not limited to a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter and underwriting agreement (the “ Requested Information ”). If the Company has not received, on or before the day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such Stockholder, the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such Stockholder. The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of a Stockholder (with regard to that registration statement) shall not in and of itself result in any liability on the part of the Company to such Stockholder.

WHEREAS, the parties intend that any rights Indemnitee may have (in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company) from Indemnitee-Related Entities (as defined herein) shall be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee under this Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for protection against personal liability, and in part to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of such Certificate of Incorporation and/or Bylaws or any change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement, and for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company.

In the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, or cause Indemnitee to be indemnified, to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after written demand is presented to the Company, and hold Indemnitee harmless against any and all Indemnifiable Amounts.

If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance, or cause to be advanced (within five (5) business days of such request), any and all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee (an “ Expense Advance ”). The Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), either (i) pay, or cause to be paid, such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, or (ii) reimburse, or cause the reimbursement of, Indemnitee for such Expenses.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee unless (i) the Company has joined in or the Board of Directors has authorized or consented to the initiation of such Claim or (ii) the Claim is one to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.
 
6

(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the indemnification obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written legal opinion, in any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel is involved as required by Section 3 hereof) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(b) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines (in a written legal opinion, in any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel is involved as required by Section 3 hereof) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing agreement by Indemnitee shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement that Indemnitee provide the Company with an undertaking to repay any Expense Advance if it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law); provided , however , that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). Indemnitee’s undertaking to repay such Expense Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free. If there has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party within thirty (30) days after written demand is presented to the Company or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the State of New York or the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual basis therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.
 
3.           Change in Control . The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control then with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws now or hereafter in effect, the Company shall seek legal advice only from Independent Legal Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 3, 2018, by and among the Company, Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC and OMH Holdings, L.P. shall not be deemed to constitute a “Change in Control” hereunder.
 
7

4.           Indemnification for Additional Expenses . The Company shall indemnify, or cause the indemnification of, Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance such Expenses to Indemnitee subject to and in accordance with Section 2(b), which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or an Expense Advance by the Company under this Agreement or any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws now or hereafter in effect and/or (ii) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, Expense Advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be; provided that Indemnitee shall be required to reimburse such Expenses in the event that a final judicial determination is made (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that such action brought by Indemnitee, or the defense by Indemnitee of an action brought by the Company or any other person, as applicable, was frivolous or in bad faith.
 
5.           Partial Indemnity, Etc . If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses or other Indemnifiable Amounts in respect of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.
 
6.           Burden of Proof, Etc . In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder the Reviewing Party, court, any finder of fact or other relevant person shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the burden of proof shall be on the Company (or any other person or entity disputing such conclusions) to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that Indemnitee is not so entitled.
 
7.           Reliance as Safe Harbor . For purposes of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if Indemnitee’s actions or omissions to act are taken in good faith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished to Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company in the course of their duties, or by committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification hereunder.
 
8

8.           No Other Presumptions . For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief.
 
9.           Nonexclusivity, Etc . The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise. To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or 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. To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy the greater benefits regardless of whether contained herein or in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws. No amendment or alteration of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement.
 
10.         Liability Insurance . To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for the Company’s directors and officers. If the Company has such insurance in effect at the time the Company receives from Indemnitee any notice of a Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the Claim to the insurer(s) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy(ies). The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurer(s) to pay, to or on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in accordance with the terms of such policy(ies). Nothing herein shall (i) relieve the Company of any of its indemnification obligations or (ii) prevent Indemnitee from directly providing notice of a Claim to such insurer(s) or directly pursuing recovery under such policies.
 
11.         Period of Limitations . No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee, 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.
 
9

12.         Amendments, Etc . No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
 
 
13.         Subrogation . Subject to Section 14 hereof, in the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do everything that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. The Company shall pay or reimburse all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.
 
14.         Jointly Indemnifiable Claims . Given that certain Jointly Indemnifiable Claims may arise due to the relationship between the Indemnitee-Related Entities and the Company and the service of Indemnitee as a director and/or officer of the Company at the request of the Indemnitee-Related Entities, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to Indemnitee in respect of indemnification and advancement of expenses in connection with any such Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, irrespective of any right of recovery Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities. Under no circumstance shall the Company be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of recovery Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of Indemnitee or the obligations of the Company hereunder. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, the Company agrees that such payment or advancement shall not extinguish or affect in any way the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement and further agrees that the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. Each of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 14, entitled to enforce this Section 14 against the Company as though each such Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Agreement.
 
15.         No Duplication of Payments . Subject to Section 14 hereof, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee to the extent payment has otherwise actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee (under any insurance policy, or any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

16.         Defense of Claims . The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; provided that if Indemnitee believes, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, (ii) the named parties in any such Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, and Indemnitee and Indemnitee concludes that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or (iii) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any particular Claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event which Indemnitee is or could have been a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on all claims that are the subject matter of such Claim. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its or his or her consent to any proposed settlement; provided that Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee. In no event shall Indemnitee be required to waive, prejudice or limit attorney-client privilege or work-product protection or other applicable privilege or protection.
 
17.         No Adverse Settlement . The Company shall not seek, nor shall it agree to, consent to, support, or agree not to contest any settlement or other resolution of any Claim(s), or settlement or other resolution of any other claim, action, proceeding, demand, investigation or other matter that has the actual or purported effect of extinguishing, limiting or impairing Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, including without limitation the entry of any bar order or other order, decree or stipulation, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4 (the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act), or any similar foreign, federal or state statute, regulation, rule or law.
 
18.         Binding Effect, Etc . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, (including any direct or indirect successor or continuing company by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer and/or director of the Company or of any other entity or enterprise at the Company’s request.
 
19.         Security . To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board of Directors, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the obligations of the Company hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral or by other means. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee.

20.         Severability . If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable and to give effect to the terms of this Agreement.
 
21.         Specific Performance, Etc . The parties recognize that if any provision of this Agreement is violated by the Company, Indemnitee may be without an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any such violation, Indemnitee shall be entitled, if Indemnitee so elects, to institute proceedings, either in law or at equity, to obtain damages, to enforce specific performance, to enjoin such violation, or to obtain any relief or any combination of the foregoing as Indemnitee may elect to pursue.
