Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

This Form 8-K/A is being filed with respect to the Form 8-K filed on December 7, 2005 to correct the amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the Supplement as stated in the first sentence of the first paragraph below. All other information included on this Form 8-K/A is identical to the Form 8-K filed on December 7, 2005.

On December 2, 2005, Chesapeake Funding, LLC (“Chesapeake”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PHH Corporation (the “Company”), extended the termination date under the Series 1999-3 Indenture Supplement, dated as of October 28, 1999, as amended, (the “Supplement”) to the Base Indenture dated June 30, 1999, as amended, pursuant to which Chesapeake issued $1,000,000,000 of variable funding notes (the “Notes”). This revolving asset-backed debt facility will continue to be used to support the acquisition of vehicles used by PHH Vehicle Management Services, LLC, doing business as PHH Arval (“PHH Arval”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in its fleet leasing operations. The parties to the Supplement include Chesapeake as issuer, PHH Arval as administrator, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and indenture trustee, and certain other commercial paper conduit purchasers, funding agents and banks.

The terms and conditions of the Notes are unchanged, except that the final payment date for the Notes has been extended from December 2, 2005 to December 1, 2006. The Notes are collateralized by leased vehicles and related assets, which are not available to pay the Company’s general obligations. The vehicle titles used to collateralize the Notes are held in a bankruptcy remote trust, which acts as lessor under operating and direct financing lease agreements. The holder of the Notes will receive cash flows from the lease agreements and other related receivables as well as proceeds from the sale of the vehicles. Chesapeake’s ability to draw under the Notes is subject to the terms of the Supplement, including maintaining the required enhancement amount and there being no termination of PHH Arval’s role as servicer of the underlying lease assets as a result of its bankruptcy, insolvency or default in the performance of its servicing obligations.
