AMENDED AND RESTATED
PRICING SIDE LETTER
PRICING SIDE LETTER
October 3, 2006
Reference is hereby made to, and this is the “Pricing Side Letter” referred to in, and
incorporated by reference into, the Amended and Restated Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of
August 5, 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Sale and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Option One Owner Trust 2003-4, as Issuer, Option One
Loan Warehouse Corporation, as Depositor, Option One Mortgage Corporation, as Loan Originator and
Servicer, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee. Any capitalized term used but not
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
As of the date hereof, this Fourth Amended and Restated Pricing Side Letter (this “Pricing
Side Letter”) hereby amends, restates and supersedes, in its entirety, the Third Amended and
Restated Pricing Side Letter dated as of December 27, 2005 by and among the parties hereto.
Section 1. Change of Conduit Purchaser. Effective as of the date first above written,
it is expressly understood and agreed by all parties hereto that all right, title, and interest
herein and under the Basic Documents, formerly belonging to Preferred Receivables Funding Company
LLC (formerly Preferred Receivables Funding Corporation), a Delaware limited liability company
(“PREFCO”), as Conduit Purchaser, now succeed to Park Avenue Receivables Company LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“PARCO”), as Conduit Purchaser.
Section 2. Termination of Conduit Purchaser’s Participation. Effective as of the date
first above written, Jupiter Securitization Company LLC (formerly Jupiter Securitization
Corporation), a Delaware limited liability company (“Jupiter”), ceases to be a party to the Basic
Documents as a Conduit Purchaser. Henceforth, PARCO and Falcon Asset Securitization Company LLC
(formerly Falcon Asset Securitization Corporation), a Delaware limited liability company
(“Falcon”), remain, collectively, as Conduit Purchasers (and each, individually, a Conduit
Purchaser). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jupiter shall continue to enjoy the benefits of Article
VII of the Note Purchase Agreement in respect of the period that Jupiter shall have been a Conduit
Purchaser under the Basic Documents.
Section 3. Amendment to Definitions. Effective as of the date first above written and
subject to the execution of this Pricing Side Letter by the parties hereto, the following terms
referenced in Section 1.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 1.01 of the Note
Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings set forth below:
Adjusted LIBO Rate: For any Accrual Period, an interest rate per annum equal to
the rate per annum obtained by dividing (i) the LIBO Rate in effect for such Accrual
Period by (ii) a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage for
such Accrual Period.
Alternate Base Rate: A fluctuating interest rate per annum as shall be in effect
from time to time, which rate per annum shall at all times be equal to the highest of:
(a) the rate of interest announced publicly by JPMorgan in Chicago, Illinois, from time
to time as JPMorgan’s prime rate;
(b) 1/2 of one percent above the latest three-week moving average of secondary market
morning offering rates in the United States for three-month certificates of deposit of major
United States money market banks, such three-week moving average being determined weekly on
each Monday (or, if any such day is not a Business Day on the next succeeding Business Day)
for the three-week period ending on the previous Friday by JPMorgan on the basis of such
rates reported by certificate of deposit dealers to and published by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York or, if such publication shall be suspended or terminated, on the basis
of quotations for such rates received by JPMorgan from three New York certificate
of deposit dealers of recognized standing selected by JPMorgan, in either case
adjusted to the nearest 1/4 of one percent or, if there is no nearest 1/4 of one percent, to
the next higher 1/4 of one percent; or
(c) 1/2 of one percent per annum above the Federal Funds Rate.
Assignee Rate: For any Accrual Period, an interest rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO
Rate plus 3.0%; provided, however, that (i) in the case of any Accrual Period of less than one
month, the “Assignee Rate” for such Accrual Period shall be calculated as the Adjusted LIBO Rate
as if such Accrual Period has a duration of one month; and (ii) if it shall become unlawful for
JPMorgan to obtain funds in the London interbank market in order to make, fund or maintain the
Note Principal Balance or deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered by
JPMorgan in the London interbank market, then the “Assignee Rate” for any Accrual Period shall be
calculated using an interest rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate.
Collateral Percentage: With respect to each Loan and any Business Day, a percentage
determined as follows:
(a) with respect to all Loans other than Scratch & Dent Loans, 98% or, upon the
occurrence of a Performance Trigger, 95%; and
(b) with respect to all Scratch & Dent Loans, 90%.
Collateral Value: With respect to each Loan and each Business Day, an amount equal to the
positive difference, if any, between (a) the lesser of (1) the Collateral Percentage of the Market
Value of such Loan, and (2)(A) 100% of the Principal Balance of each Loan that is not a Scratch &
Dent Loan and (B) 75% of the Principal Balance of each Scratch & Dent Loan, each as of such
Business Day, less (b) the aggregate unreimbursed Servicing Advances attributable to such Loan as
of the most recent Determination Date; provided, however, that the Collateral Value shall be zero
with respect to each Loan (1) that the Loan Originator is required to repurchase pursuant to
Section 2.05 or Section 3.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (2) which is a Loan of the
type specified in subparagraphs (i)-(xiv)
2
hereof and which is in excess of the limits permitted under subparagraphs (i)-(xiv) hereof, or
(3) which remains pledged to the Indenture Trustee later than 120 days after its related
Transfer Date, or (4) which has been released from the possession of the Custodian to the
Servicer or the Loan Originator for a period in excess of 14 days, or (5) that is a Loan which
is 90 or more days Delinquent or a Foreclosed Loan, or (6) that is a Loan which has a
Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 100%, or (7) that is not a Wet Funded Loan and for which the
Custodian is not in possession of a complete Custodial Loan File, or (8) that is a Wet Funded
Loan for which the related Custodial Loan File has not been delivered to the Custodian on or
before the later of the 15th Business Day and the 20th calendar day following the related
Transfer Date of such Wet Funded Loan, (9) that breaches any representation or warranty set
forth in Exhibit E with respect to such Loan, (10) which is not denominated and payable only in
United States dollars in the United States, (11) under which the Borrower is not a resident of
the United States or is a government or a governmental subdivision or agency, (12) which by its
terms is not due and payable on or within 360 months of the original funding date thereof or
which has had its payment terms extended, (13) which has had any of its terms, conditions or
provisions modified or waived other than in compliance with Loan Originator’s Underwriting
Guidelines, or (14) which would be deemed part of a “predatory lending” bucket as defined
within the state of the United States in which the related Mortgaged Property is located;
provided, further, that (A):
(i) the aggregate Collateral Value of Loans which are Second Lien Loans may not exceed 10% of
the aggregate Principal Balance of all Loans that are not Scratch & Dent Loans;

(xiv) each Loan shall be counted in each applicable category in (A) above and may be counted

any Loan equals zero, it shall not be counted in any category listed in (A) above.
Commitment Termination Date: October 2, 2007, as such date may be extended in accordance
with Section 2.05 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
CP Rate: For each Conduit Purchaser for any Accrual Period, the per annum rate equivalent
to the weighted average of the per annum rates paid or payable by such Conduit Purchaser from
time to time as interest on or otherwise (by means of interest rate xxxxxx or otherwise) in
respect of the Commercial Paper Notes issued by such Conduit Purchaser that are allocated, in
whole or in part, by the Note Agent (on behalf of such Conduit Purchaser) to fund or maintain
its interest in the Note during such Accrual Period, as determined by the Note Agent (on behalf
of such Conduit Purchaser) and reported to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, which rates
shall reflect and give effect to the commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of
such promissory notes, to the extent such commissions are allocated, in whole or in part, to
such promissory notes by the Note Agent (on behalf of such Conduit Purchaser); provided,
however, that if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the “CP Rate”
for such Accrual Period, the Note Agent shall for such component use the rate resulting from
converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum.
Eurodollar Reserve Percentage: For any Accrual Period, the reserve percentage applicable
to JPMorgan during such Accrual Period under regulations issued from time to time by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) (or if more than one such
percentage shall be so applicable, the daily average of such percentages for those days in
such Accrual Period during which any such percentage shall be so applicable) under regulations
issued from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or, any
successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any
emergency, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) for JPMorgan in respect of
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities having a term equal
to such Accrual Period.
Federal Funds Rate: For any day, a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the
weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the
Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published for such day (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, for the next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the
average of the quotations for such day for such transactions received by JPMorgan from three
Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it.
LIBO Rate: With respect to any Accrual Period, the rate per annum equal to the applicable
British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in
5
U.S. dollars appearing on Reuters Screen FRBD as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days
prior to the first day of the relevant Accrual Period, and having a maturity equal to such Accrual
Period, provided that, (1) if Reuters Screen FRBD is not available to the Note Agent for any
reason, the applicable LIBO Rate for the relevant Accrual Period shall instead be the applicable
British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in U.S. dollars as reported by
any other generally recognized financial information service as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) two
Business Days prior to the first day of such Accrual Period, and having a maturity equal to such
Accrual Period, and (2) if no such British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rate is
available to the Note Agent, the applicable LIBO Rate for the relevant Accrual Period shall
instead be the rate determined by the Note Agent to be the rate at which it offers to place
deposits in U.S. dollars with first-class banks in the London interbank market at approximately
11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Accrual Period, in the
approximate amount to be funded at the LIBO Rate and having a maturity equal to such Accrual
Period.
LIBOR Determination Date: The date as of which the LIBO Rate is determined, pursuant to the
definition of that term set forth in this Pricing Side Letter.
Maximum Note Principal Balance: (i) $1,500,000,000 until March 31, 2006, and (ii) from and
after March 31, 2006, $1,000,000,000, in each case as such amount may be increased or decreased in
accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.
Nonutilization Fee: A fee payable by the Issuer to the Initial Noteholder on each Payment Date
in an amount equal to (a) 0.175% times (b) the average daily amount for the immediately preceding
month of (1) the product of 1.02% and the Maximum Note Principal Balance in effect during such
month less (2) the Note Principal Balance divided by (c) 360 and multiplied by (d) the actual
number of calendar days that have elapsed since the immediately preceding Payment Date (or, with
respect to the first Payment Date, the Closing Date).
Note Interest Rate: For any Accrual Period:
(i) to the extent that a Conduit Purchaser funds or maintains its interest in the Note by
issuing its Commercial Paper Notes, the CP Rate,
(ii) if and to the extent that a Conduit Purchaser elects in its sole discretion not to fund
or maintain, or is not able to fund or maintain, its interest in the Note for such Accrual Period
by the issuance of its Commercial Paper Notes, or if and to the extent that a Committed Purchaser
funds or maintains an interest in the Note, a rate equal to the Assignee Rate for such Accrual
Period.
(iii) at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the “Note Interest Rate”
for each Accrual Period shall be the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.0% per annum.
6
Overcollateralization Shortfall: With respect to any Business Day, an amount equal
to the positive difference, if any, between (a) the Note Principal Balance on such
Business Day and (b) the aggregate Collateral Value of all Loans in the Loan Pool as of
such Business Day; provided, however, that (i) if such Business Day is
not a Payment Date, an Overcollateralization Shortfall shall not occur if the Note
Principal Balance exceeds the Collateral Value on such Business Day by an amount less
than or equal to 1.00% of such Note Principal Balance solely as a result of the
aggregate Collateral Value of Loans in any category described in clauses (i) through
(xii) of the second proviso set forth in the definition of “Collateral Value” exceeding
the applicable concentration limit set forth therein, and (ii) on (A) the termination of
the Revolving Period, (B) the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Trigger, (C) the
Payment Date on which the Trust is to be terminated pursuant to Section 10.02 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, or (D) the Final Put Date, the Overcollateralization
Shortfall shall be equal to the Note Principal Balance. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in no event shall the Overcollateralization Shortfall, with respect to
any Business Day, exceed the Note Principal Balance as of such date. If as of such
Business Day, no Rapid Amortization Trigger or Default under this Agreement or the
Indenture shall be in effect, the Overcollateralization Shortfall shall be reduced (but
in no event to an amount below zero) by all or any portion of the aggregate Hedge Value
as of such Payment Date as the Majority Noteholders may, in their sole discretion,
designate in writing.
Revolving Period: With respect to the Notes, the period commencing on the Closing
Date and ending on the earlier of (i) October 2, 2007, and (ii) the date on which the
Revolving Period is terminated pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The Revolving Period may be extended annually, in the sole discretion of the
Note Agent, upon the request of the Depositor.

at the end thereof:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Loan that satisfies all of the other representations and
warranties set forth in Exhibit E may satisfy the representation and warranty set forth in

if the principal payments on such Loan commence more than two months but no more than seven
years after the proceeds of such Loan were disbursed (any such loan being an “Interest-Only
Loan”).

above written and subject to the execution of this Pricing Side Letter by the parties hereto,
