Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 27, 2011, PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHH Mortgage”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PHH Corporation, entered into an Amendment No. 2 to Mortgage Loan Participation Sale Agreement (the “Extension Amendment”) by and between JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as purchaser (“JPMorgan”), and PHH Mortgage, as seller.  The Extension Amendment amends certain provisions of the Mortgage Loan Participation Sale Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2010, by and between JPMorgan and PHH Mortgage (as previously amended, the “MLPSA”) to, among other things, extend the termination date of the MLPSA to the earlier of (i) September 30, 2012 and (ii) at JPMorgan’s option, upon the occurrence of a Servicing Termination Event (as defined in the MLPSA).

 

JPMorgan and its affiliates provide products and services to, make loans to, and engage in various other transactions with PHH Mortgage and its affiliates in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, including, without limitation, underwriting and treasury related products and services, for which JPMorgan and its affiliates receive customary fees and expenses.

 

The foregoing description of the Extension Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K which is incorporated herein by reference.
