PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) has granted to the Optionee named in

attached, an award consisting of non-qualified stock options (each an “Option,” and collectively,
the “Options”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Notice and this
Agreement. The Options have been granted pursuant to the PHH Corporation 2005 Equity and Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has the authority
under and pursuant to the Plan to grant and establish the terms of awards to eligible employees of
the Company and its Subsidiaries; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company desires to grant
non-qualified stock options to the Optionee, subject to the terms of the Plan, the Award Notice,
and this Agreement.

In consideration of the provisions contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Optionee
agree as follows:

1.     The Plan. The Options granted to the Optionee hereunder are granted pursuant to the Plan.

incorporated in this Agreement. Terms used in this Agreement which are not defined in this
Agreement shall have the meanings used or defined in the Plan.

“Option”) to purchase the number of shares of Stock specified on the attached Award Notice (the
“Option Shares”) at the Option Price per Share specified on the Award Notice, pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan.

3.     Term of Option and Conditions of Exercise.

(a)     The Option has been granted as of the Grant Date and shall terminate on the Expiration
Date specified on the Award Notice, subject to earlier termination as provided herein and in the
Plan. Upon the termination or expiration of the Option, all rights of the Optionee in respect of
such Option hereunder shall cease.

(b)     Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, except as may otherwise be
provided by the Committee, the Option shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth
on the Award Notice, so long as the Optionee continues to be employed by or provide service to the
Company or a Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Option shall

-1-

 

become fully vested and exercisable upon a Change in Control, the death of the Optionee or the
termination of the Optionee’s employment or service due to the disability (as defined in the
Company’s long-term disability plan) of the Optionee.

4.     Termination of Employment.

(a)     Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, if the Optionee’s employment with or
service to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated, the Options that are then unexercisable will
terminate immediately upon such termination of employment or service.

(b)     Excepts as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, if the Optionee’s employment with
or service to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated, the Options that are then exercisable will
terminate as follows:

(i)     If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of such Optionee’s death or
disability (as defined in the Company’s long-term disability plan), the Option may be
exercised, to the extent vested on the date of termination, by the Optionee, the Optionee’s
legal representative or legatee for a period of two years from the date of death or
disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.

(ii)     If the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Options
that are then exercisable will terminate immediately as of the effective date of such
termination. “Cause” means the Optionee’s (i) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to,
a felony or crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) fraud on or misappropriation of any funds
or property of the Company, any affiliate, customer or vendor; (iii) personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other

determination will be conclusive.

(iii)     If the Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason other than by the Company
for Cause or due to death or disability, the Option may be exercised, to the extent vested
on the date of termination, for a period of one year from the date of termination or until
the Expiration Date, if earlier.

5.     Exercise of Option.

The Option may only be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the
administrative procedures established by the Committee from time to time. The Optionee may pay the
Exercise Price by:

-2-

 

(a)     delivery of cash, certified or cashier’s check, money order or other cash equivalent
acceptable to the Committee in its discretion;

(b)     a broker-assisted cashless exercise procedure satisfactory to the Company;

(c)     tender (via actual delivery or attestation) to the Company of other shares of Stock which
have a Fair Market Value on the date of tender equal to the Exercise Price, provided
that such shares have been owned by the Optionee for a period of at least six months free
of any substantial risk of forfeiture or were purchased on the open market without assistance,
direct or indirect, from the Company; or

(d)     any combination of the foregoing.

6.     Adjustment upon Changes in Capitalization.

The Option is subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in the capitalization of
the Company, to the extent set forth in Section 5 of the Plan.

7.     No Rights as a Stockholder. The Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to the Option Shares until such Option Shares have been issued to the Optionee upon
exercise of the Options. No adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date on which such Option Shares are issued.

8.     Nontransferability of Options. These Options are nontransferable otherwise than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution and during the Optionee’s lifetime, the Options may be
exercised only by the Optionee or, during the period in which the Optionee is under a legal
disability, by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative. Except as provided above, the
Options may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether
by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar
process.

9.     Withholding of Taxes. At the time the Options are exercised, in whole or in part, or at
any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes withholding from
payroll or any other payment of any kind due to the Optionee and otherwise agrees to make adequate
provision for foreign, federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld, if any, which
arise in connection with the Options. The Company may require the Optionee to make a cash payment
to cover any withholding tax obligation as a condition of exercise of the Options or issuance of
share certificates representing Option Shares.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit the Optionee to satisfy, in whole or in
part, any withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the Options either by
electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise that
number of Option Shares, or by electing to deliver to the Company already-owned shares of

-3-

 

Stock, in either case having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the
statutory minimum withholding amount due.

10.     Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its
discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be modified in a manner that would have
a materially adverse effect on the Options or Option Shares as determined in the discretion of the
Committee, except as provided in the Plan or in a written agreement signed by the Optionee and the
Company.

11.     Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain all of the understandings and
agreements between the Company and the Optionee concerning the Option and supersedes all earlier
negotiations and understandings, written or oral, between the parties with respect thereto. The
Company and the Optionee have made no promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either
orally or in writing, that are not included in this Agreement or the Plan.

12.     Captions. The captions and section numbers appearing in this Agreement are inserted only
as a matter of convenience. They do not define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent of
the provisions of this Agreement.

the Committee, to the attention of the General Counsel of the Company at the principal office of
the Company and, if to the Optionee, to the Optionee’s last known address contained in the
personnel records of the Company.

14.     Binding Effect. Each and all of the provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and the Optionee and their respective estate, successors and
assigns, subject to any limitations on transferability under applicable law or as set forth in the

Option may not be exercised. The Company may establish a blackout period for any reason or for no
reason.

understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Company with respect to the subject matter

PHH CORPORATION

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) has granted to the individual (the
“Grantee”) named in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice to which this Restricted Stock Unit
Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is attached, an award consisting of restricted stock units
relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Restricted Stock
Units”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Notice and this Agreement. The
restricted stock units have been granted pursuant to the PHH Corporation 2005 Equity and Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”)
has the authority under and pursuant to the Plan to grant and establish the terms of awards to
eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors desires to grant an award of
Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Award
Notice and this Agreement.

In consideration of the provisions contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Grantee
agree as follows:

1.     The Plan. The Award granted to the Grantee hereunder is pursuant to the Plan. A copy of a
prospectus for the Plan is attached hereto and the terms of such Plan are hereby incorporated in
this Agreement. Terms used in this Agreement which are not defined in this Agreement shall have
the meanings used or defined in the Plan.

2.     Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

a.     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Grantee
shall acquire the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Award Notice, subject to
adjustment by the Committee as provided in Section 5 of the Plan (the “Award”).

b.     The Grantee is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax
withholding, if any, and payment of the par value of the Stock, if required by law) as a condition
to receiving shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

3.     Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to Paragraph 4 below, the Restricted Stock
Units granted hereunder shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award
Notice, attached hereto, with accelerated vesting subject to the attainment of the Performance
Goals, if applicable; provided, however, to the extent not already vested, the Restricted Stock
Units shall become 100% vested upon a Change in Control, the Grantee’s death, or the Grantee’s
termination of employment by reason of disability (as defined in the Company’s long-term disability
plan), while employed with the Company.

 

 

4.     Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, upon the termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries
for any reason whatsoever (other than death or Disability), the Award, to the extent not yet
vested, shall immediately and automatically terminate; provided, however, that the
Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the vesting of the Award, upon
termination of employment or otherwise, for any reason or no reason, but shall have no obligation
to do so.

5.     Settlement.

a.     Issuance of Shares of Stock. The Company shall issue to the Grantee, on the Settlement
Date with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit to be settled on such date, shares of Stock that
are equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units after any adjustments as provided under
Section 5 of the Plan; provided, however, that the Grantee shall remain required to
remit to the Company such amount that the Company determines is necessary to meet all required
minimum withholding taxes.

b.     Certificate Registration. The certificate for the shares issued in settlement of the
Restricted Stock Units shall be registered in the name of the Grantee, or, if applicable, in the
names of the Grantee’s heirs.

c.     Restrictions on Grant of the Restricted Stock Units and Issuance of Shares. The grant of
the Restricted Stock Units and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock
Units shall be subject to and in compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or
foreign law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the
issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market
system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the
Restricted Stock Units, the Company may require the Grantee to satisfy any qualifications that may
be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to
make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

d.     Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the
settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

e.     Dividend Equivalents. As of each dividend payment date for each cash dividend on the
Stock, the Grantee shall receive additional restricted stock units, which shall be subject to the
same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Award Notice and
this Agreement. The number of additional restricted stock units to be granted shall equal: (i) the
product of (x) the per-share cash dividend payable with respect to each share of Stock on that
date, multiplied by (y) the total number of Restricted Stock Units which have

- 2 -

 

not been settled or forfeited as of the record date for such dividend, divided by (ii) the
Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the payment date of such dividend.

6.     Tax Obligations. As a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the
Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any of its applicable Subsidiaries such sum as may be
necessary to discharge the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s obligations with respect to any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge imposed on property or income received by the Grantee
pursuant to this Agreement and the Award. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company
or an applicable Subsidiary any and all required minimum withholding taxes. To satisfy such
obligation, Grantee agrees to have the Company withhold a number of whole shares of Stock otherwise
deliverable to Grantee in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units having a Fair Market Value, as
of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax
withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.

7.     No Rights to Continued Employment; Loss of Office. Neither this Agreement nor the Award
shall be construed as giving the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such
employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award, this Agreement or any
other agreement (written or oral) to the contrary, for purposes of the Plan and the Award, a
termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred on the date upon which the Grantee
ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company following the provision of any
notification of termination or resignation from employment, and without regard to any period of
notice of termination of employment (whether expressed or implied) or any period of severance or
salary continuation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award, this Agreement or
any other agreement (written or oral) to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled (and by
accepting an Award, thereby irrevocably waives any such entitlement), by way of compensation for
loss of office or otherwise, to any sum or other benefit to compensate the Grantee for the loss of
any rights under the Plan as a result of the termination or expiration of an Award in connection
with any termination of employment. No amounts earned pursuant to the Plan or any Award shall be
