Exhibit 10.7
MASTER TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR WARRANTS
ISSUED BY PHH CORPORATION
          The purpose of this Master Terms and Conditions for Warrants (this “ Master Confirmation ”), dated as of March 27, 2008, is to set forth certain terms and conditions for warrant transactions that PHH Corporation (“ Issuer ”) shall enter into with Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Dealer”), as initial purchaser, acting through the agency of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (the “ Agent ”). Each such transaction (a “ Transaction ”) entered into between Dealer and Issuer that is to be subject to this Master Confirmation shall be evidenced by a written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with such modifications thereto as to which Issuer and Dealer mutually agree (a “ Confirmation ”). This Master Confirmation and each Confirmation together constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
          This Master Confirmation and a Confirmation evidence a complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Confirmation relates. This Master Confirmation and each Confirmation hereunder, shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) as if we had executed an agreement in such form on the Trade Date of the first such Transaction (but without any Schedule except for the election of (i) the laws of the State of New York as the governing law and (ii) United States dollars as the Termination Currency) between you and us, and such agreement shall be considered the “ Agreement ” hereunder.
          The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Definitions ”) as published by ISDA are incorporated into this Master Confirmation. For the purposes of the Definitions, each reference herein or in any Confirmation hereunder to a Warrant shall be deemed to be a reference to a Call Option or an Option, as context requires.
          THIS MASTER CONFIRMATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.
          The Transactions under this Master Confirmation shall be the sole Transactions under the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and Issuer or any confirmation or other agreement between Dealer and Issuer pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Dealer and Issuer, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Dealer and Issuer are parties, the Transactions under this Master Confirmation and the Agreement shall not be considered Transactions under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement.
          1. In the event of any inconsistency between this Master Confirmation, on the one hand, and the Definitions or the Agreement, on the other hand, this Master Confirmation will control for the purpose of the Transaction to which a Confirmation relates. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions, the Agreement and this Master Confirmation, on the one hand, and a Confirmation, on the other hand, the Confirmation will govern. With respect to a Transaction, capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction.
          2. Each party will make each payment specified in this Master Confirmation or a Confirmation as being payable by such party, not later than the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified below or otherwise specified in writing, in freely transferable funds and in a manner customary for payments in the required currency.

 


 
           3. Confirmations and General Terms :
          This Master Confirmation and the Agreement, together with the Confirmation relating to a Transaction, shall constitute the written agreement between Issuer and Dealer with respect to such Transaction. Each Transaction to which a Confirmation relates is a Warrant Transaction, which shall be considered a Share Option Transaction for purposes of the Definitions, and shall have the following terms:
     
   
 
Components:  
Each Transaction will be divided into individual Components, each with the terms set forth in this Confirmation, and, in particular, with the Number of Warrants and Expiration Date set forth in the Confirmation for such Transaction.

As set forth in the Confirmation for such Transaction (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an Expiration Date for another Component); provided that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component of a Transaction hereunder; and provided , further , that if the Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, the Final Disruption Date shall be the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component for a Transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may determine that such Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date and shall designate the Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Expiration Date for the remaining Warrants for such Component. Section 6.6 of the Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.
   
 
Automatic Exercise:

For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price on the Exchange as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page PHH.N <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time to the Scheduled Closing Time (New York City time) on such Valuation Date (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by

3


 
     
   
the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Definitions, if there is a Market Disruption Event on any Valuation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Reference Price for such Valuation Date on the basis of its good faith estimate of the market value for the relevant Shares on such Valuation Date.
   
 
Valuation Time:  
As defined in Section 6.1 of the Definitions
   
 
Valuation Date:  
Each Exercise Date
   
 
Final Disruption Date:  
For any Transaction, the eighth Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the scheduled Expiration Date for the last Component of such Transaction.
   
 
Market Disruption Event:  
The third and fourth lines of Section 6.3(a) of the Definitions are hereby amended by deleting the words “during the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time” and replacing them with “at any time prior to the relevant Valuation Time”.
   
 
           5. Settlement Terms:
   
 
In respect of any Component:  
 
   
 
Net Share Settlement:  
On each Settlement Date, Issuer shall deliver to Buyer a number of Shares equal to the Net Share Amount for such Settlement Date to the account specified by Buyer and cash in lieu of any fractional shares valued at the Reference Price for the Valuation Date corresponding to such Settlement Date. If Buyer reasonably determines that, for any reason, the Shares deliverable upon Net Share Settlement would not be immediately freely transferable by Buyer under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), then Buyer may elect to either (x) accept delivery of such Shares notwithstanding any restriction on transfer or (y) have the provisions set forth in Section 12(c) below apply.
   
 
Net Share Amount:  
For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrants being exercised or deemed exercised on the Exercise Date corresponding to such Settlement Date, and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Reference Price for the Valuation Date corresponding to such Settlement Date over the Strike Price for the relevant Transaction (such product, the “ Net Share Settlement Amount ”), divided by such Reference Price.

Representation and Agreement:  
To the extent Seller is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Definitions will be applicable as if Physical Settlement were applicable to the Transaction; provided that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Seller is the Issuer of the Shares.

           6. Dividends:
   
 
In respect of any Component:

If an ex-dividend date with respect to a cash dividend occurs at any time from but excluding the Trade Date for the Transaction that includes such Component to and including the Expiration Date for such Component, then in addition to any adjustments as provided under “Share Adjustments” below, the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments to the Strike Price, Number of Warrants and/or Number of Warrants per Component for such Transaction as it deems appropriate to preserve for the parties the intended economic benefits of such Transaction.
   
 
   
The Calculation Agent shall provide prompt notice of any such adjustments, including a schedule or other reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for and determination of each adjustment.

Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of Shares as a result of such event consists solely of cash) or pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Default in which Issuer is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Issuer is the Affected Party, other than an (x) Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement that in the case of either (x) or (y) resulted from an event or events outside Issuer’s control) (an “ Issuer Payment Obligation ”), Issuer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Issuer Payment Obligation by delivery of Termination Delivery Units (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to Buyer, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Merger Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable (“ Notice of Issuer Termination Delivery ”); provided that (i) if Issuer does not validly elect to satisfy its Issuer Payment Obligation in Termination Delivery Units, Buyer shall have the right to require Issuer to satisfy its Issuer Payment Obligation in Termination Delivery Units, notwithstanding Issuer’s election to the contrary and (ii) Issuer shall not have the right, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, to satisfy its Issuer Payment Obligation by Termination Delivery Units unless on the date of any such notice, Issuer represents to Buyer that, as of such date, it is not in possession of any material non-public information with respect to itself or the Shares. Within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt of a Notice of Issuer Termination Delivery, Issuer shall deliver to Buyer a number of Termination Delivery Units having a cash value equal to the amount of such Issuer Payment Obligation (such number of Termination Delivery Units to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation Agent as the number of whole Termination Delivery Units that could be sold over a commercially reasonable period of time to generate proceeds equal to the cash equivalent of such payment obligation, and the date of such delivery, the “ Termination Payment Date ”). In addition, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to Issuer or Buyer, for any reason, the Termination Delivery Units deliverable pursuant to this paragraph (b) would not be immediately freely transferable by Buyer under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then Buyer may elect either to (x) accept delivery of such Termination Delivery Units notwithstanding any restriction on transfer or (y) have the provisions set forth in paragraph (c) below apply. If the provisions set forth in this paragraph are applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (modified as described above) and 9.12 of the Definitions shall be applicable, except that all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Termination Delivery Units.”
Termination Delivery Unit ” means (i) in the case of a Termination Event, an Event of Default or an Extraordinary Event (other than an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer), one Share or (ii) in the case of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer. If a Termination Delivery Unit consists of property other than cash or New Shares and Issuer provides irrevocable written notice to the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or the date of such Termination Event, Event of Default or an Additional Disruption Event, as the case may be, that it elects to deliver cash, New Shares or a combination thereof (in such proportion as Issuer designates) in lieu of such other property, the Calculation Agent will replace such property with cash, New Shares or a combination thereof as components of a Termination Delivery Unit in such amounts, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means, as shall have a value equal to the value of the property so replaced. If such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
          (c) Registration/Private Placement Procedures . (i) With respect to each Transaction, the following provisions shall apply to the extent provided for above opposite the caption “Net Share Settlement” in Section 5, if Buyer reasonably determines that, for any reason, the Shares deliverable upon Net Share Settlement would not be immediately freely transferable by Buyer under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or in paragraph (b) of this Section 12. If so applicable, then, at the election of Issuer by notice to Buyer within one Exchange Business Day after the relevant delivery obligation arises, but in any event at least one Exchange Business Day prior to the date on which such delivery obligation is due (if Issuer does not make an election by such date, Issuer shall be

deemed to have made the election described in clause (B) below), either (A) all Shares or Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, delivered by Issuer to Buyer shall be, at the time of such delivery, covered by an effective registration statement of Issuer for immediate resale by Buyer (such registration statement and the corresponding prospectus (the “ Prospectus ”) (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) in form and content commercially reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) or (B) Issuer shall deliver additional Shares or Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, so that the value of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, as determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount, equals the value of the number of Shares or Termination Delivery Units that would otherwise be deliverable if such Shares or Termination Delivery Units were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Buyer (such value, the “ Freely Tradeable Value ”); provided that Issuer may not make the election described in this clause (B) if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Issuer to Buyer (or any affiliate designated by Buyer) of the Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Shares by Buyer (or any such affiliate of Buyer). (For the avoidance of doubt, as used in this paragraph (b) only, the term “Issuer” shall mean the issuer of the relevant securities, as the context shall require.)
     (ii) If Issuer makes the election described in clause (c)(i)(A) above:
     (A) Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer designated by Buyer) shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Issuer that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities and that yields results that are commercially reasonably satisfactory to Buyer or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its discretion; and
     (B) Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer designated by Buyer) and Issuer shall enter into an agreement (a “ Registration Agreement ”) on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the public resale of such Shares or Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, by Buyer or such Affiliate substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Buyer or such Affiliate and Issuer, which Registration Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the li
