PHH CORPORATION

 

9 1⁄4% Senior Note Due 2016

 

1.                                       Principal and Interest.

 

The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on March 1, 2016.

 

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each interest payment date, as set forth on the face of this Note, at the rate of 9.25% per annum.

 

Interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the February 15 or August 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date) on each interest payment date, commencing             , 20    .

 

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on this Note (or, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a regular record date and the next interest payment date, from such interest payment date) or, if no interest has been paid, from                   , 20     .  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

The Company will pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest at the rate applicable to this Note.  Interest not paid when due and any interest on principal, premium or interest not paid when due will be paid to the Persons that are Holders on a special record date, which will be the 15th day preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of such interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day.  At least 15 days before a special record date, the Company will send to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that sets forth the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.

 

2.                                       Indentures.

 

This is one of the Notes issued under an Indenture dated as of August 11, 2010 (as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated December 12, 2011, and as further supplemented and amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee.  Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated.  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.  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement

 

5











 

of all such terms.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control.

 

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company.  The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $350,000,000, but Additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such Additional Notes vote together for all purposes as a single class.

 

3.                                       Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

 

This Note is subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase, as further described in the Indenture.  There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Note.

 

If the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, the Company may in certain circumstances be discharged from the Indenture and the Notes or may be discharged from certain of its obligations under certain provisions of the Indenture.

 

4.                                       Registered Form; Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Notes are in registered form, without interest coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and higher integral multiples of $1,000.  A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note.

 

5.                                       Defaults and Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal and accrued interest of all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become due and payable.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.

6.                                       Amendment and Waiver.

 

Under the Indenture, the Company’s rights and obligations and the rights of the Holders of the Notes may be changed and compliance with certain covenants or a past default may be waived. Subject to certain exceptions, any change requires the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes; provided that no such modification shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby change certain rights of the Holders of the Notes specified in the Indenture.  Without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may modify, amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake or inconsistency in the Indenture.

 

7.                                       Authentication.

 

This Note is not valid until the Trustee (or Authenticating Agent) signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

 

8.                                       Governing Law.
