NEWSLETTER | JULY 2006

On June 29, 2006, Calyx Software issued an I-Update that updates the interfaces in Point (versions 5.2 and 5.3). The update installs automatically and adds new vendors to the Lenders, Services, and Interfaces menus in Point. The I-Update also updates existing connections to lenders and mortgage services as needed.

The update process applies only to company listings in the Lenders, Services, and Interfaces menus in Point—no personal information is collected and no modifications are made to any other portions of your Point software. Sometime shortly after June 29, when Point 5.2 and 5.3 users open their software and are connected to the Internet, Point will automatically receive and install the I-Update.

Additions to each menu include:

Lenders Menu
· 1st National Lending
  Services Inc.
· Sierra Pacific Mortgage

Services Menu
· CR BUR Services
· Mortgage Reporting
  Specialists
· Quality Credit Data Inc.
· United One Resources

Interfaces Menu
· Follow Your Customer—
  Prospect Marketing
