COVENANTS
Section 4.01. Covenants. With respect to the Notes, Article VI of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
ARTICLE VI
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
Section 6.01. Payments of Notes.
The Company shall promptly pay or cause to be paid the principal or the Redemption Price of, and interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates, in the amounts and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal or the Redemption Price and interest, if any, shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time, money sufficient to pay all principal or Redemption Price and interest, if any, then due.
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, of no interest has been paid, from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the date of payment.
The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal or the Redemption Price at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.
Section 6.02. Paying Agent.
(a) The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for the Notes, if any, an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (the “Paying Agent”). The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent to receive all presentations and surrenders.
(b) The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes (in or outside of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such additional designation or rescission of designation and of any change in the location of any such different or additional office or agency. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Paying Agent not a party to the Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of the Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. The Company or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent.
Section 6.03. To Hold Payment in Trust.
(a) If the Company or an Affiliate thereof shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to any Notes, then, on or before the date on which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes by their terms or as a result of the calling thereof for redemption shall become payable, the Company or such Affiliate will segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay such principal and premium, if any, or interest which shall have so become payable until such sums shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act in that regard. Upon any proceeding under any federal bankruptcy laws with respect to the Company or any Affiliate thereof, if the Company or such Affiliate is then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Company or such Affiliate as Paying Agent.
(b) If the Company shall appoint, and at the time have, a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest any the Notes, then prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes shall become payable as aforesaid, whether by their terms or as a result of the calling thereof for redemption, the Company will deposit with such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and premium, if any, or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such principal, premium, if any, or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee), the Company or any other obligor of the Notes will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure to so act.
(c) If the Paying Agent shall be other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.03, that such Paying Agent shall:
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(ii) give to the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes in the making of any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and
(iv) acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all aspects with the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties, rights and liabilities of such Paying Agent.
(d) Anything in this Section 6.03 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a release, satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee as required by this Section 6.03, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent.
(e) Subject to applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Order along with interest (if any) that has accumulated thereon as a result of such money being invested at the direction of the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust, and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such amounts without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
Section 6.04. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article VII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to preserve any such existence, right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.
Section 6.05. Compliance Certificate.
(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a written statement, which need not comply with Section 18.01, signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture. For purposes of this Section 6.05, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.
(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within ten days after the occurrence thereof written notice of any event which would constitute a Default.
Section 6.06. SEC Reports.
(a) The Company, to the extent required pursuant to Section 314(a) of the TIA, shall file with the Trustee, within fifteen days after the Company is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such Sections, then to file with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which would be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations.

(c) The Company, to the extent required pursuant to Section 314(a) of the TIA, shall transmit to the Holders of the Notes within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the TIA, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC.
(d) The Company shall notify the Trustee when and as the Notes become admitted to trading on any national securities exchange.
(e) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06 is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under the Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to certificates).
Section 6.07. Limitation on Liens.
(a) The Company shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, create, assume or suffer to exist, and shall not cause, suffer or permit any Subsidiary to create, assume or suffer to exist, any Mortgage of or upon any of its or their properties or assets, real or personal, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or of or upon any income or profit therefrom, without making effective provision, and the Company covenants that in any such case the Company will make or cause to be made effective provision, whereby the Notes shall be secured by such Mortgage equally and ratably with or prior to any and all other obligations and indebtedness to be secured thereby, so long as any such other obligations and indebtedness shall be so secured.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of December 3, 2014, as supplemented by a Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated May 9, 2019 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, OneMain Holdings, Inc. (formerly Springleaf Holdings, Inc.), as a Guarantor (“OMH,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $800,000,000. The Initial Notes and Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such act for a statement of such terms. The Notes are general obligations of the Issuer. To the extent a provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
Optional Redemption.
At any time or from time to time prior to July 15, 2027 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes), the Company may redeem, at its option, all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) the Applicable Premium as of the Redemption Date, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
In addition, at any time on or after July 15, 2027 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes), the Company may redeem, at its option, all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:
“Applicable Premium” means with respect to any Note on any Redemption Date, the excess, if any, as determined by the Company, of:
(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Note (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), through July 15, 2027 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such Redemption Date plus 50 basis points; over
(b) the principal amount of the Note.
The Company shall calculate the Applicable Premium and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to verify such amount.
“Stated Maturity,” when used with respect to any Note or any installment of principal thereof or any premium or interest thereon, means the fixed date on which the principal of such Note or such installment of principal or premium or interest is due and payable.
“Treasury Rate” means, as of any Redemption Date, the yield to maturity as of such Redemption Date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to the Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to July 15, 2027 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes); provided, however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to July 15, 2027 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes) is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.
Notice of any redemption will be given at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if such notice is given in connection with a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant Defeasance or a satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Article XIII of the Base Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the Outstanding Notes not previously called by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (or in accordance with Applicable Procedures of the Depositary).
Except as set forth above, the Notes will not be redeemable by the Company prior to Maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
Amendment, Supplement, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture and the Notes may be amended, supplemented or modified as provided in the Indenture.
Guarantees. The Notes shall be guaranteed by OMH as provided in the Indenture.
Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Miscellaneous. The Indenture and this Note shall be deemed to be contracts made under the law of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of said State.
All terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
