PHH Corporation Announces the Closing of $1.0 Billion of TALF-Eligible
Asset Backed Notes Issued by Chesapeake Funding LLC
Mt. Laurel, NJ June 9, 2009 PHH Corporation (NYSE:PHH) (PHH or the Company) today
announced the successful closing by its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Chesapeake Funding LLC
(Chesapeake), of the issuance and sale of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its
Series 2009-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes (Series 2009-1 Notes). The Series 2009-1 Notes
were rated AAA/Aaa by Standard & Poors Rating Services and Moodys Investor Services respectively
and qualified as eligible collateral under and as defined in the Term Asset-Backed Securities
Loan Facility, or TALF, established by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the notes will be used to repay a portion of
Chesapeakes Series 2006-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Variable Funding Investor Notes, with the
remaining proceeds expected to be used to fund the acquisition of vehicles to be leased to
customers of PHH Vehicle Management Services, LLC (PHH Arval), the Companys fleet management
business. Commenting on the successful closing of the Chesapeake transaction, George J. Kilroy,
President and Chief Executive Officer of PHH Arval, stated: PHH is committed to providing a lease
product to our fleet management clients that is consistent with our outstanding client service and
award winning technology and innovation. Our ability to close the first TALF eligible securities
issuance backed by commercial fleet lease assets in the market demonstrates PHH Arvals commitment
to being a leading provider of financing solutions in the commercial fleet industry.

as amended (the Securities Act), or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered
or sold in the United States without registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an
applicable exemption from such registration. The Series 2009-1 Notes were sold to qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act. This press release shall
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Series 2009-1 Notes, nor
shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of the Series 2009-1 Notes in any state in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
