                                       OF

                    STEWART INFORMATION SERVICES CORPORATION

     Third: The nature of the business, objects and purposes to be transacted,
promoted or carried on by the corporation are:

       The business of accumulating and dealing in information of all types, the
     guaranteeing of such information, the providing of services related to real

       To engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be
     organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

     Fourth:   The total number of shares of stock which the corporation shall
have authority to issue is 6,500,000 of which 5,000,000 shares of the par value
of $1 each, amounting in the aggregate to $5,000,000, shall be designated
Common Stock, and of which 1,500,000 shares of the par value of $1 each,
amounting in the aggregate to $1,500,000, shall be designated Class B Common
Stock.

     The designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows:

     (1)  Voting.   The Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall have
the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other
purposes, each holder of the Common Stock and each holder of the Class B
Common Stock being
   3
entitled to one vote for each share held. For so long as there are issued and
outstanding 175,000 or more shares of Class B Common Stock (adjusted
proportionately for stock dividends and stock splits or combinations), at each
election for directors the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall be
voted as separate classes, and the holders of the Common Stock shall be
entitled to elect five of the nine directors (each holder of Common Stock
having the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by
him for the five directors to be elected by the holders of the Common Stock
and for whose election he has a right to vote, or to cumulate his votes by
giving one candidate as many votes as five times the number of his shares shall
equal, or by distributing such votes on the same principle among any number of
such five candidates).  The holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be
entitled to elect the remaining four of the nine directors, and no holder of
Class B Common Stock shall have the right of cumulative voting at any election
of directors.  In the event that issued and outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock are less than 175,000 shares but more than 100,000 shares
(adjusted proportionately for stock dividends and stock splits or
combinations), the number of directors to be so elected by the holders of the
Common Stock shall be six and the number of directors to be so elected by the
holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be three.  Except as

                                      -3-
   4
otherwise provided hereinafter in this paragraph and as otherwise required by
law, all shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall, upon all matters
other than the election of directors, be voted as a single class (and, in the
event that the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock
is ever less than 100,000 (adjusted proportionately for stock dividends and
stock splits or combinations), the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock
shall be voted as a single class upon all matters, with the right to cumulate
votes for the election of directors); provided, however, that no change in the
Certificate of Incorporation which would affect the Common Stock and the Class B
Common Stock unequally shall be made without the affirmative vote of at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of each class, voting as a class.

     (2)  Dividends.  The holders of the Common Stock and the Class B Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends payable in cash,
stock or otherwise, subject to the following preferences and restrictions:

     (a)  No cash dividends shall be declared or paid upon the Class B Common
Stock;

     (b)  Dividends payable in property (other than cash or stock) of the
corporation shall be payable upon the shares of Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock without distinction between the two classes;

     (c) If a dividend payable in stock of the corporation shall be declared at
any time upon either the Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock, a like
dividend shall be declared upon the other class of common stock. All dividends

with respect to dividends upon shares of the Common Stock and in shares of
Class B Common Stock with respect to dividends upon shares of the Class B
Common Stock.

     (3) Preemptive Rights. No stockholder shall have any preemptive right to
subscribe to an additional issue of capital stock of the corporation or to any
security convertible into such stock. Any preferential rights to purchase stock
or securities of the corporation which are granted to the stockholders shall be
granted to the holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock without
distinction between the two classes.

     (4) Conversion. Each share of Class B Common Stock of the corporation
shall, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, be convertible into one
share of Common Stock of the corporation. In the event of any transfer, upon
death or otherwise, of any share of Class B Common Stock to any person or entity
other than a lineal descendant of William H. Stewart (who died in 1903 in
Galveston County, Texas), a spouse of any such descendant or a personal
representative, trustee or custodian for






                                      -5-
   6
the benefit of any such spouse or descendant, such share shall thereupon become
a share of Common Stock.

          (5)  Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the remaining net assets of
the corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common
Stock and the Class B Stock in accordance with their respective rights and
interests.

                                     *****

     whole or in part of money or property including securities of any other
     corporation or corporations, as the Board of Directors shall deem expedient
     and for the best interests of the corporation.

     FIRST:  That a meeting of the Board of Directors of Stewart Information
Services Corporation, resolutions were duly adopted setting forth a proposed
amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation, declaring
said amendment to be advisable and calling a meeting of the stockholders of
said corporation for consideration thereof. The resolution setting forth the
proposed amendment is as follows:

           RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation 
     be amended by deleting the Article thereof numbered "Fourth (1)" so that, 
     as amended, said Article shall be and read as follows:

                (1) Voting. The Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall
           have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and
           for all other purposes, each holder of the Common Stock and each
           holder of the Class B Common Stock being entitled to one vote for
           each share held. For so long as there are issued and outstanding
           175,000 or more shares of Class B Common Stock (adjusted
           proportionately for stock dividends and stock splits or
           combinations), at each election for directors the Common Stock and
           the Class B Common Stock shall be voted as separate classes, and the
           holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to elect five of the
           nine directors (each holder of Common Stock having the right to vote,
           in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him for the five
           directors to be elected by the holders of the Common Stock and for
           whose election he has a right to vote, or to cumulate his votes by
           giving one candidate as many votes as five times the number of his
           shares shall equal, or by distributing such votes on the same
           principle among any number of such five candidates). The holders of
           the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to elect the remaining
           four of the nine directors, and no holder of Class B Common Stock
           shall have the right of cumulative voting at any election of
           directors. In the event that issued and outstanding shares of Class B
           Common Stock are less than 175,000 shares but more than 100,000
           shares (adjusted proportionately for stock dividends and stock splits
           or combinations), the number of directors to be so elected by the
           holders of the Common Stock shall be six and the number of directors
           to be so elected by the holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be
           three. Any amendment to, or rescission of, Section 3.7 of the
           Company's by-laws must be approved by a majority of the Company's
           outstanding Common Stock, and a majority of the Company's outstanding
           Class B Common Stock, voting as separate classes. Except as otherwise
           provided hereinafter in this paragraph and as otherwise required by
           law, all shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall, upon
           all matters other than the election of directors, be voted as a
           single class (and, in the event that the number of issued and
           outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock is ever less than 100,000
           (adjusted proportionately for stock dividends and stock splits or
           combinations), the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall be
           voted as a single class upon all matters, with the right to cumulate
           votes for the election of directors); provided, however, that no
           change in the Certificate of Incorporation which would affect the
           Common Stock


   13
          and the Class B Common Stock unequally shall be made without the
          affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares 
          of each class, voting as a class.

     SECOND:   That thereafter, pursuant to resolution of its Board of
Directors, the annual meeting of the stockholders of said corporation was duly
called and held, upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware at which meeting the necessary number
of shares as required by statute were voted in favor of the amendment.

provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

     liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
     breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
