Dorado Announces ChannelMaster Contract Renewal by Top-Tier Lender

Dorado Point-of-Sale Solution Helps Top-tier Lender Build Customer Loyalty and Improve Productivity in its Wholesale and Correspondent Channel

San Mateo, Calif.—July 5 , 2006—Dorado Corporation, delivering the power of the network to home lending, today announced that PHH Mortgage, a subsidiary of PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH), has renewed its commitment to Dorado ChannelMaster for another two years. ChannelMaster provides PHH Mortgage’s wholesale/correspondent point-of-sale solution.

The ChannelMaster solution, which PHH Mortgage calls Speedy Online Application and Response (SOAR), was initially implemented in 2002 to help build loyalty and increase productivity among PHH Mortgage’s wholesale/correspondent customers. After four successful years marked by increased volume and adoption, the renewal will ensure its clients continue to benefit from the control and efficiency the solution provides.

“SOAR has enabled us to build stronger, more productive relationships with our correspondent partners over the past four years,” said Bob Smith, senior vice president, subsidiary operations and correspondent lending for PHH Mortgage. “With our renewed commitment to Dorado, we will continue to build upon the successes we have had so far. Our strategy includes an aggressive plan for further enhancing SOAR functionality, providing our correspondent partners with even broader product choices and more ways to provide excellent service to their customers.”

Using SOAR, PHH Mortgage correspondents can select a product, get pricing, order credit, underwrite a loan, register it, submit it, lock the loan, and get status – all at the point of sale. Once a loan has been submitted, PHH Mortgage correspondents can continue to update information on the file and immediately see the impact of those changes. Not only do these automated capabilities make PHH Mortgage more attractive to their customers, they make operations more streamlined for PHH Mortgage. Because SOAR has cut down on the amount of manual loan administration, PHH Mortgage staff now has more time to perform higher value functions such as sales planning and product strategy.

“PHH Mortgage was one of Dorado’s first customers, and I am very proud of our mutual ongoing commitment,” said Dain Ehring, chief executive officer, Dorado. “With our new agreement, our relationship is even more tightly integrated— their success, and the success of their customers, will become our success. One of the reasons our relationship has lasted so long is because we share a common goal. That is to treat our customers like partners and continually strive to build better solutions, together.”
