RE: GreenPoint Bank - ALTA Policies to be Issued at Closing

Dear Associates:

This office has been notified that effective immediately, the GreenPoint Bank will require individual ALTA (10-17-92) loan policies for its mortgages, to be issued at the time of closing. This represents a change from the Bank's prior practice of relying on a blanket policy arrangement with various title underwriters.

Please advise your clearance officers, policy typists, closers and any other personnel who need to know of this change.

If you have any questions, please contact Company Counsel.
