RE: Technical Amendments to Rate Manual

Dear Associates:

Because there have been so many changes to the Rate Manual over the year, enclosed is a complete Rate Manual with all the correct pages including some technical amendments which are effective January 4, 1999.

These amendments are as follows:

  1. Paragraph 3.1.3 was amended to reflect a new heading, and the addition of the subparagraph (d).

  2. Paragraph 4.6 was amended to reflect a new heading, to 4.6.2, and amendments to paragraph 4.6.2 reflecting the inclusion of the leasehold modifications.

  3. Section 6.5 was amended to delete "settlement" and add the word "issuing" describing the agent who is covered by a closing service letter.

Please replace your entire Rate Manual with the enclosed. The Rate Manual which is three hole punched, with a color page divider included, should be kept in the back of your Stewart New Jersey Manual of Forms.

If you have any questions, please contact the New Jersey District office.
