Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby tenders to PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 11, 2017 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the "Offer"), receipt of each of which is hereby acknowledged, the number of Shares set forth below, all pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Offer to Purchase. Participants should notify the Depositary prior to covering through the submission of a physical security directly to the Depositary based on a guaranteed delivery that was submitted via DTC's PTOP platform.
Number of Shares to be tendered: Shares.
THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING SHARES AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX):
(1) AUCTION PRICE TENDER: PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED (SEE INSTRUCTION 5 TO THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL)
By checking this one box below INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER "Purchase Price Tender," the undersigned is indicating the price (in dollars) per Share at which Shares are being tendered, such price to be no greater than $14.25 per Share nor less than $13.45 per share. This election could mean that none of the Shares being tendered hereby will be purchased if the price checked below is higher than the Purchase Price, as determined pursuant to the Offer to Purchase.A STOCKHOLDER WHO WISHES TO TENDER DIFFERENT SHARES AT DIFFERENT PRICES MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY FOR EACH PRICE TO BE USED IN DETERMINING EACH PRICE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED (SEE SECTION 3 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE AND INSTRUCTION 5 TO THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL). The same Shares cannot be tendered at more than one price, unless previously validly withdrawn as provided in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase.

OR
(2) PURCHASE PRICE TENDER (SEE INSTRUCTION 5 TO THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL)
o By checking this one box INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE PRICE BOXES UNDER "Auction Price Tender: Price (in Dollars) per Share at Which Shares Are Being Tendered," the undersigned is tendering Shares and is willing to accept the Purchase Price, as the same shall be determined by the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Offer. This action will maximize the chance of having the Company purchase the Shares being tendered hereby pursuant to the Offer (subject to the provisions relating to "odd lots" priority, proration and conditional tender).NOTE THAT THIS ELECTION IS DEEMED TO BE A TENDER OF SHARES AT THE MINIMUM PURCHASE PRICE OF $13.45 PER SHARE. (See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and Instruction 5 to the Letter of Transmittal.)
CHECK ONE, AND ONLY ONE, BOX ABOVE. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED ABOVE, OR IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, THERE IS NO PROPER TENDER OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
ODD LOTS
(See Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase and Instruction 15 of the Letter of Transmittal)
Under certain conditions, stockholders holding a total of fewer than 100 Shares may have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of other tendered Shares. This preference is not available to partial tenders or to beneficial or record holders of an aggregate of 100 or more Shares, even if these holders have separate accounts or certificates representing fewer than 100 Shares. Accordingly, this section is to be completed only if Shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares. The undersigned either (check one box):
o is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered; or
o is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), Shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and is tendering all of such Shares.
CONDITIONAL TENDER
(See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase and Instruction 14 of the Letter of Transmittal)
A tendering stockholder may condition his or her tender of Shares upon the Company purchasing all or a specified minimum number of the Shares tendered, as described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of Shares you indicate below is purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered by you will be purchased.It is the tendering stockholder's responsibility to calculate the minimum number of Shares that must be purchased from the stockholder in order for the stockholder to qualify for sale or exchange (rather than distribution) treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Stockholders are urged to consult with their own investment or tax advisors before completing this section. No assurances can be provided that a conditional tender will achieve the intended U.S. federal income tax result for any stockholder tendering Shares. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, your tender will be deemed unconditional.
o The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased from me, if any are purchased from me, is: Shares.
If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, the Company may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering stockholder must have tendered all of his or her Shares at or below the Purchase Price and checked the box below:
o The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.
