On March 21, 2015, Ocwen Financial Corporation (the "Company") began entering into indemnification agreements (the "Indemnification Agreements") with each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements memorialize the terms under which, as required under the Company's governing documents and consistent with common practice among public companies, the Company will indemnify the director or executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising in his or her capacity as a director or officer or in connection with his or her service at the Company's request for another corporation or entity and to advance reasonable expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
The Company also began entering into undertakings (together with the Indemnification Agreements, the "Agreements") with directors and executive officers whereby the director or executive officer agreed to repay any amounts paid, advanced or reimbursed by the Company to the extent it is ultimately determined the director or executive officer was not entitled to indemnification under applicable law or the Company's governing documents.
In addition, we may enter into these Agreements with future directors or executive officers.
This description of the Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms thereof, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
