NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
LOMAS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
December 31, 1993


NOTE A -- BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lomas
Financial Corporation ("LFC") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  They do not
include all of the information or footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation at December 31, 1993 have been
included.  Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 1993 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1994.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
annual report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1993.

NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Primary earnings per share data for the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992 is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common and, when dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding
during the period.  Common stock equivalents include units and shares granted
under the Lomas Financial Corporation 1991 Long Term Incentive Plan for
Nonemployee Directors and the 1991 Stock Incentive Program. Common stock
equivalents also include the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options.
Fully diluted per share data is computed on the same basis as primary, but it
also assumes (if dilutive) the conversion of senior convertible notes with
the related adjustments for interest and federal income tax expenses.  For
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, the fully
diluted per share data is antidilutive.

NOTE C -- REVERSE INTEREST RATE SWAPS

     The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lomas Mortgage USA,
Inc. ("Lomas Mortgage"), enters into interest rate swap agreements. Under the
terms of the swap agreements, the Company receives an annual fixed rate of
interest and pays a floating rate of interest based on the 30-day average
A1/P1 commercial paper rate.  The swaps reduced the Company's net interest
expense during the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1993 by $3.6 
million and $8.4 million, respectively, up from $3.3 million and $5.2 million
in the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1992, respectively. At
December 31, 1993 interest rate swaps in the aggregate notional amount of
$800 million were outstanding.

NOTE D -- PURCHASED FUTURE MORTGAGE SERVICING INCOME RIGHTS ("PMSRs")

     During the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1993, the Company
established provisions of $30.0 million and $80.0 million, respectively,
related to impairment in the carrying value of PMSRs. This provision results
from the unprecedented prepayments that the Company has experienced and the
related revision of estimated future prepayment speeds.

     PMSRs at December 31, 1993, consisted of the following (in thousands):

Cost of PMSRs                                               $ 502,006
Capitalized excess servicing fees                               3,195

                                                            =========

     Changes in PMSRs were as follows (in thousands):

Beginning balance at July 1, 1993                           $ 436,487
Additions                                                      61,646

                                                            =========

NOTE E -- REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements with financially
responsible parties. Mortgage assets purchased under agreements to resell are
carried at the amounts of the original purchase price which is calculated at
a percentage of the market price. The reverse repurchase agreements generally
mature within 60 days and are covered 100 percent by binding purchase
commitments issued by responsible financial institutions. The other party is
obligated to repurchase the underlying mortgage assets at the Company's
purchase price plus interest differential. The Company finances the reverse
repurchase agreements primarily through a third party based on a percentage
of the repurchase commitments. At December 31, 1993 the Company had
outstanding reverse repurchase agreements of $59.7 million which was included
in first mortgage loans held for sale and related notes payable totaling
$58.7 million.

NOTE F -- REDUCTION IN FORCE

     In January 1994 the Company announced a plan to restructure its
operations, with a view to decreasing expenses and enhancing productivity.
Under the plan, the Company's workforce was reduced by approximately
10 percent. In connection with the plan, the Company's continuing operations
recorded a charge of $5.6 million effective December 31, 1993.

NOTE G -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Discontinued operations include the Company's short-term lending
operations, which are conducted through a wholly-owned subsidiary, ST
Lending, Inc. ("STL"), and certain other real estate operations.

     Discontinued operations reported $86,000 and $183,000 net income from
other real estate operations for the quarter and six months ended December
31, 1992, respectively. Discontinued operations also reported a $4.0 million
operating loss for the six months ended December 31, 1993. In fiscal 1992 and
1993 the Company provided a total of $15.4 in million reserves to cover
future operating losses of STL. The Company provided an additional $4.0
million of reserves in the six months ended December 31, 1993 to cover the
possibility of such losses. For the quarters and six months ended December
31, 1993 and 1992, operating losses of $3.7 million, $3.2 million,
$5.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively, were charged to these reserves.
The Company is currently reviewing its portfolio and projected operating
results through December 1995 of the discontinued real estate operations. If
this analysis results in any indicated future operating losses, the Company
will provide reserves to cover these losses. It is anticipated that the
review will be completed by the quarter ending March 31, 1994.

     Net assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 1993 were as
follows (in thousands):

Mortgage notes receivable and foreclosed real estate, 
  net of allowance for losses of $27,405                     $178,334
Cash and cash equivalents                                       8,774
Other assets                                                    2,467
                                                             --------
                                                              189,575
Less:  Secured notes payable                                  (79,589)
       Accrued interest payable and other                      (2,861)
                                                             --------
Net assets                                                   $107,125
                                                             ========

     The yield on STL's earning loans ($64.8 million) at December 31 was
approximately 7.55 percent, on its earning real estate ($36.3 million) was
approximately 9.71 percent, and on its cash (invested primarily in high-grade
commercial paper) was approximately 3.2 percent.  The interest rate on STL's
debt outstanding at that date was 5.44 percent.

     During the six months ended December 31, 1993, STL made principal
payments aggregating $42.4 million on its secured notes, thereby reducing the
balance thereof to $79.6 million.  Subsequent to December 31, 1993, STL made
additional principal payments of $14.8 million. The outstanding balance of
the notes after application of these principal payments was $64.8 million. 
The secured notes are without recourse to the Company or any subsidiary
thereof other than STL.

     Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the
Company's borrowers and are subject to the Company's normal credit policies. 
Guarantees and other commitments include standby letters of credit, financial
guarantees and performance guarantees made by the Company to third parties on
behalf of borrowers in connection with the Company's short term lending
operations.  Even though this segment of business is discontinued, the
guarantees remain in effect.  The credit risk of these arrangements
essentially is the same as that involved in extending loans.

<PAGE>
     Outstanding commitments and guarantees at December 31, 1993 were as
follows (in thousands):

Loan commitments on existing short term construction, 
  acquisition and development loans                            $3,091

Guarantees and other commitments                               $1,552

NOTE H -- CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     On September 17, 1990 plaintiffs purporting to represent a class of
single-family mortgagors having escrow deposits computed by Lomas Mortgage
filed a class-action complaint in Illinois.  The complaint alleges that Lomas
Mortgage is in breach of mortgage contracts and is assessing excessive and
unlawful escrow deposits and, in addition, the complaint asks for punitive
damages.  On October 4, 1990 this lawsuit was removed to the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.  Mortgagors have filed
similar class-actions in California and Minnesota and class-action
counterclaims in two pending Illinois foreclosure actions.  The state court
actions were removed to federal court and transferred to the Northern
District of Illinois where they are currently pending before the same judge
as the original action.  The state court counterclaims are stayed.

     Management believes that the calculation of escrow balances is in
accordance with mortgage contracts and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
("RESPA") regulations.  Similar lawsuits based on escrow balances have also
been brought against other mortgage banking companies.  The ultimate
liability with respect to this contingency is not presently determinable but
an adverse settlement or judgment may require the Company to repay escrow
monies to mortgagors or otherwise reduce the Company's escrow balances which
would also result in a higher cost of funds to the Company, potentially
negatively impacting the Company's results of operations.  Assessment of
punitive damages in this litigation could also potentially negatively impact
the Company's results of operations.  Management does not believe that any
losses incurred as a result of this litigation will have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of Lomas Mortgage or the Company.

     The Company is also involved in a number of other lawsuits considered to
be in the normal course of business.  In management's opinion, the resolution
of these other disputes will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition of the Company.

            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

     The Company's operations resulted in a net loss for the quarter ended
December 31, 1993 of $48.1 million compared to net income of $3.3 million for
the December 31, 1992 quarter and for the six months ended December 31, 1993,
the net loss was $97.7 million compared to net income of $7.7 million for the
six months ended December 31, 1992. The Company established provisions of
$30.0 million and $80 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 1993 for impairment in the carrying value of its PMSRs in
response to the unprecedented level of mortgage prepayments. In addition, the
Company also established at December 31, 1993 a $5.6 million provision to
cover the cost of its reduction-in-force in January 1994.  

     The operating results of the Company during the quarters and six months
ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 were as follows (in thousands):

Mortgage Banking

     The mortgage banking division's operations during the December 1993
quarter generated $69.8 million in revenues, up from $68.2 million in the
same quarter last year.  However, the Company's mortgage banking operations
resulted in a loss during the December 1993 quarter of approximately $1
million, before the special provisions, compared to pretax income of $7.6
million in the same quarter last year.  The operating loss after the PMSR
impairment and reduction-in-force provisions was $36.1 million and $75.9
million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1993, respectively.

     The mortgage banking division's revenues, expenses, and net
contributions for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 1993 and
1992 were derived from the following sources (in millions):

     Loan administration operating income at December 31, 1993 was $3.4
million, down from $6.6 million for the same quarter last year, principally
because portfolio amortization at $18.6 million in the December 1993 quarter
before the $30.0 million provision for PMSR impairment was $3.3 million
higher than the December 1992 quarter. For the six months ended December 31,
1993 and 1992, loan administration operating income before the $80 million
provision for PMSR impairment was $7.3 million and $11.2 million,
respectively.  The Company's portfolio runoff rate during the December 1993
quarter accelerated to 45.3 percent on an annualized basis, and runoff in
certain tranches of the portfolio exceeded an annualized rate of 50 percent.
The annualized runoff rate for the month of December 1993 was 48.7 percent
compared to 41.5 percent for the six months ended December 1993 and 37.8
percent for the first quarter of fiscal 1994. Portfolio production during the
quarter ended December 1993 was sufficient to cover the quarter's record
portfolio runoff.  After the PMSR provision, the Company's booked investment
in its $32.7 billion primary mortgage servicing portfolio was approximately
$382 million at December 31, 1993.  

     The following is an analysis of servicing fee income for the quarters
and six months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 (in thousands).

     The banking unit's net expense of $6.3 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1993, was $1.7 million higher than the $4.6 million net expense
reported for the quarter ended December 31, 1992.  Paid-in-full ("PIF")
interest, which is incurred when loans securing payment of mortgage-backed
securities in the Company's primary servicing portfolio are prepaid prior to
the end of a given month, at $6.5 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1993 was the highest quarterly total in the Company's history and was $1.4
million higher than the $5.1 million in the same quarter last year.

     Net income from portfolio production for the quarter ended December 31,
1993 was $4.1 million, down from $4.9 million last year.  Revenues were $3.8
million higher in the 1993 quarter than in 1992 and expenses were
$4.6 million higher in the 1993 quarter than in 1992.  The principal reason
for the higher revenues and expenses in the 1993 quarter was because of the
higher portfolio production in the 1993 quarter.  Portfolio production during
the December 1993 quarter totaled $4.3 billion, up from $3.5 billion in the
December 1992 quarter.

     Income from the fund and asset management unit was $1.9 million less in
the December 1993 quarter than in 1992 because the management agreement with
Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("Capstead") terminated on September 30, 1993.
Amendments to the contractual relationship between the Company and Capstead
and related accelerations of payments to the Company by Capstead resulted in
revenues from the unit of $4.8 million for each of the six-month periods
ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.

Interest Rate Fluctuations and Market Factors

     Lower long term interest rates normally increase new mortgage loan
production volume, which in turn increases fee income and the net interest
spread as a result of the higher average volume of mortgages held for sale. 
Lower long term rates also increase prepayment speeds of mortgages on which
PMSRs are currently held, which lowers yields realized on the Company's
investment in PMSRs.  Increased prepayment speeds also accelerate PIF
interest expense owed to certain investors.  PIF interest is the partial
monthly interest in the month of payoff that is not payable by the mortgagor,
but is receivable by the mortgage security holder.

     Higher long term interest rates normally decrease the general volume of
new mortgage originations, decreasing the volume of mortgages held for sale. 
These conditions result in reduced fee income and reduced net interest
income.  However, the Company's average net yield as a percentage of the
balance held may increase if short term rates do not change by a
corresponding degree.  Higher long term rates also decrease the prepayment
speed of mortgages on which PMSRs are currently held, which in turn would
increase the yield on the Company's investment in PMSRs.  Decreased
prepayment speeds will also decrease PIF interest expense due to loans which
payoff.

     Lower short term interest rates increase the Company's net interest
spread on mortgages held for sale and higher short term interest rates
decrease the net yield on mortgages held for sale unless there is a
corresponding increase in long term interest rates.  

     The value of the Company's loan servicing portfolio may be adversely
affected if mortgage interest rates decline and loan prepayments increase. 
Periods of accelerated prepayments may result in future declines of income
generated from the Company's loan servicing portfolio.  Conversely, if
mortgage interest rates increase, the value of the Company's loan servicing
portfolio may be positively affected.

     During periods of declining interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment
speeds tend to increase, which decreases the expected cash flow from the
servicing portfolio and reduces the yield and the value of PMSRs.  Interest
rates declined throughout most of fiscal 1993 and the six-month period ended
December 31, 1993, resulting in historically high annualized runoff rates of
the Company's servicing portfolio.  If the level of prepayments experienced
during fiscal 1993 and the first six months of fiscal 1994 continues or
accelerates, future increases to the scheduled amortization or additional
impairment adjustments may be necessary.

     Short term debt ($433.3 million) at December 31, 1993 included $285.8
million principal amount of short term notes and $147.5 million principal
amount of repurchase agreements which are principally for the warehousing of
single-family mortgage loans pending delivery to permanent investors. 
Investment lines of credit at December 31, 1993 totaled $154.3 million
secured by investments purchased with the proceeds of such lines of credit. 
Short term notes payable under reverse repurchase agreements are secured by
mortgage assets purchased under agreements to resell.  The short term notes
and repurchase agreements outstanding were secured by single-family mortgage
loans which at that date were committed for sale to institutional purchasers.

Such loans (and therefore the related warehouse indebtedness) normally
revolve every 30 to 60 days.  Thus, the short term notes, repurchase
agreements and notes payable under reverse repurchase agreements are self-
liquidating and require no supplemental liquidity support from LFC or any of
its subsidiaries. The Company's aggregate warehouse line of credit was
increased to $580 million from $317.5 million during the six months ended
December 31, 1993, and total short term warehouse credit availability was
increased to $780 million.  Commercial paper and bank certificates of deposit
of non-affiliated commercial banks are funded with proceeds from, and are
pledged as collateral for, investment lines of credit.  The commercial paper
and bank certificates of deposit have fixed rates of interest and generally
mature within 31 days, at which time the investment lines of credit are paid
down.  As a result, all short term indebtedness is self-liquidating and none
of it constitutes any burden on operating cash flow.  

     Coverage for the term notes payable of Lomas Mortgage is provided by
cash internally generated by that subsidiary.  Lomas Mortgage's operations
during the six months ended December 31, 1993, after paying interest on its
short term debt, generated $41.8 million in cash available for (i) payment of
interest on the subsidiary's $387.6 million of term debt, (ii) investment in
portfolio maintenance and growth, (iii) intercompany advances or payment of
dividends to LFC (subject to restricted payment limitations described below),
and (iv) addition to Lomas Mortgage's working capital.

     Lomas Mortgage believes, notwithstanding the liquidity requirements of
LFC, that it will have sufficient cash resources at this time to make
investments in additional mortgage servicing rights and to permit growth when
attractive opportunities arise, although the amount of growth in any given
period will be dependent upon market opportunities and Lomas Mortgage's
capital resources at the time.

     Under the terms of the warehouse and investment lines of credit that
contain the most restrictive covenants, Lomas Mortgage is restricted from
making any intercompany advances or dividend payments to LFC if, after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such payments should exceed the sum
of (i) $25 million (less any intercompany advances); plus (ii) 50 percent of
Lomas Mortgage's accumulated consolidated income before tax since October 1,
1992; or reduced by 100 percent of consolidated loss before income taxes;
plus (iii) (a) before November 30, 1993 the fair market value of the
aggregate net proceeds received by Lomas Mortgage from the issuance or sale
after October 1, 1992 of its capital stock and warrants, options and rights
to purchase its capital stock (b) after November 30, 1993, the aggregate net
cash proceeds received from the issuance or sale after November 30, 1993, of
capital stock and warrants, options and rights to purchase its capital stock.
After the provisions related to PMSR impairment and reduction-in-force, the
amount available for dividends or intercompany advances from Lomas Mortgage
to LFC as of December 31, 1993 was $5.4 million or such lesser amount that
would not reduce the net worth, determined in accordance with Lomas
Mortgage's lines of credit, to less than $215 million.

     Coverage for (i) interest payments on LFC's $140 million of convertible
notes due 2003, (ii) general corporate expenses and (iii) additional advances
to LIS to date have been and in the future are expected to be provided by (a)
LFC's current cash resources, (b) dividends or intercompany advances from
Lomas Mortgage, (c) cash dividends and interest income on other investments,
and (d) periodic liquidations of other assets.

     Effective November 9, 1993, the determination date by the Company of a
$50 million provision in the financial statements of Lomas Mortgage related
to impairment in the carrying value of its PMSRs and the loss for the quarter
ended September 30, 1993, the Company took immediate steps to increase the
net worth of Lomas Mortgage by approximately $44 million by transferring a 49
percent interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, STL, to Lomas Mortgage in
exchange for the issuance of common stock of Lomas Mortgage.  For financial
statement purposes, Lomas Mortgage, as a result of recording the November 9,
1993 charge of $50 million as of September 30, 1993, thereby creating the
loss incurred in the quarter ended September 30, 1993, failed to meet certain
loan covenants regarding minimum net worth requirements of its warehouse and
other lines of credit. However, as a result of the STL transaction which also
was accomplished in early November, the Company's net worth was increased by
$44 million and the Company was not in violation of the minimum net worth
requirement as of November 9, 1993, which was the date of the decision to
record the $50 million provision related to impairment in the carrying value
of the PMSRs, nor was it in violation at December 31, 1993 after the
additional $30 million provision related to impairment in the carrying value
of the PMSRs. Under the most restrictive covenants of Lomas Mortgage's
warehouse and investment lines of credit, the minimum net worth requirement
of Lomas Mortgage is $215 million. After the PMSR impairment and reduction-
in-force charges at December 31, 1993, Lomas Mortgage's net worth, determined
in accordance with such lines of credit, was $219 million.

     As of December 31, 1993, the Company's failure to meet certain ratio
requirements contained in the covenants of the Company's $140 million senior
convertible note indenture, while not an event of default, limits the
Company's ability to issue additional term debt.

     STL's term notes are related to the Company's discontinued short term
lending operations and are without recourse to the general credit and
resources of LFC or its other subsidiaries.  The STL notes are secured by
STL's investments in short term real estate loans and related assets and will
be self-liquidating as the collateral is retired or otherwise liquidated over
the next four years.  At December 31, 1993 collateral securing payments of
STL's notes included $64.8 million of earning short term real estate loans,
$36.3 million of earning REO, $83.1 million of other REO and approximately
$8.7 million of cash.  The collateral, net of reserves of $22.3 million and
including other assets of $1.1 million, was carried at December 31, 1993 on
STL's books at $171.7 million.

     Subsequent to December 31, 1993, STL made a principal payment on the
outstanding notes totaling $14.8 million; the outstanding balance of the STL
notes after application of these principal payments was $64.8 million.


                        PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On September 17, 1990 the plaintiffs purporting to represent a class of
single-family mortgagors having escrow deposits computed by Lomas Mortgage
filed a class-action complaint in Illinois.  The complaint alleges that Lomas
Mortgage is in breach of mortgage contracts and is assessing excessive and
unlawful escrow deposits and in addition the complaint asks for punitive
damages.  On October 4, 1990 this lawsuit was removed to the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.  Mortgagors have filed
similar class-actions in California and Minnesota and class-action
counterclaims in two pending Illinois foreclosure actions.  The state court
actions were removed to federal court and transferred to the Northern
District of Illinois where they are currently pending before the same judge
as the original action.  The state court counterclaims are stayed.

     Management believes that the calculation of escrow balances is in
accordance with mortgage contracts and RESPA regulations.  Similar lawsuits
based on escrow balances have also been brought against other mortgage
banking companies.  The ultimate liability with respect to this contingency
is not presently determinable but an adverse settlement or judgment may
require the Company to repay escrow monies to mortgagors or otherwise reduce
the Company's escrow balances which would also result in a higher cost of
funds to the Company, potentially negatively impacting the Company's results
of operations.  Assessment of punitive damages in connection with the
litigation could also potentially negatively impact the Company's results of
operations.  Management does not believe that any losses incurred as a result
of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of Lomas Mortgage or the Company.

     The Company is involved from time to time in litigation incidental to
its business.  Management believes that the outcome of current litigation
will not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition of the
Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cold Spring Group may increase
its ownership of Common Stock in excess of the percentage levels
specified in this Section 1 as otherwise agreed in writing with the

effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, and
(iii) were not and will not be acquired in connection with or as a

     3.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument.

                         AMENDMENT NO. 2
                             TO THE
                   LOMAS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                      1993 INTERMEDIATE AND
                            LONG TERM
                         INCENTIVE PLAN

     This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") to the Lomas Financial
Corporation 1993 Intermediate and Long Term Incentive Plan, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Lomas Financial Corporation 1993
Intermediate and Long Term Incentive Plan dated November 2, 1993
(collectively, the "Plan"), which shall be effective as of the 25th
day of January, 1994, amends the terms of the Plan as set forth
herein.  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have
the meaning as ascribed to them in the Plan.

     1.   The following section of the Plan is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as set forth below:

          The definition of "Change in Control" in Section 2 of the
Plan shall be amended to read as follows:

          "Change in Control" - It shall be deemed to be a
     Change in Control of the Company if, after the effective
     date of the Plan, (i) the occurrence of an event of a
     nature that would be required to be reported in response
     to Item 1 or Item 2 of a Form 8-K Current Report of the
     Company promulgated pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
     "Exchange Act"); provided that, without limitation, such
     a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if
     (a) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d)
     and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company,
     any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
     any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company
     owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the
     Company in substantially the same proportions as their
     ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the
     "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
     Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of
     the Company representing thirty-five percent (35%) or
     more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
     outstanding securities or (b) during any period of two
     consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of
     such period constitute the Board cease for any reason to
     constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the
     election by the Board or the nomination for election by
     the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at
     least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in
     office who either were directors at the beginning of the
     two-year period or whose election or nomination for
     election was previously so approved; (ii) the
     stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
     consolidation of the Company with any other corporation,
     other than a merger or consolidation that would result in
     the voting securities of the Company outstanding
     immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either
     by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
     voting securities of the surviving entity) more than
     eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the
     voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
     outstanding immediately after such merger or
     consolidation; provided, however, that a merger or
     consolidation effected to implement a reorganization or
     recapitalization of the Company, or a similar transaction
     (collectively, a "Reorganization"), in which no "person"
     acquires more than twenty percent (20%) of the combined
     voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities
     shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company;
     or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan
     of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement
     for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
     substantially all of the Company's assets."

     2.   This Amendment No. 2 may be incorporated with and into
the Plan and the Plan may hereafter be restated to incorporate the
provisions of the Plan as amended by this Amendment No. 2 and any
other amendment to the Plan into one document which may be
collectively be referred to as the Plan.

amendment, no Default has occurred and is continuing.

   6.  References.  All references in the Loan Papers to the "Loan Agreement"

         SECOND AMENDMENT TO RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT


     THIS AMENDMENT is entered into as of September 30, 1993, among LOMAS
MORTGAGE USA, INC., a Connecticut corporation (the "Company"), the banks
listed on the signature pages hereof ("Lenders"), BANK ONE, TEXAS, N.A., as
administrative agent (in that capacity "Administrative Agent"), and TEXAS
COMMERCE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as syndication agent (together with
Administrative Agent "Agents").

     The Company, Lenders, and Agents have entered into the Restated Loan and
Security Agreement dated as of July 8, 1993 (as amended as of September 15,
1993, and as further renewed, extended, amended, and restated, the "Loan
Agreement") providing for loans to the Company on a revolving basis.  The
Company has requested an amendment to the Loan Agreement in order to provide
a temporary cure period for a certain covenant.

     NOW THEREFORE, for valuable and acknowledged consideration, the parties
agree as follows:

     1.    Certain Definitions.  Unless otherwise specified herein, all terms
defined in the Loan Agreement have the same meanings when used herein, and
all references to "Sections" are references to sections of the Loan
Agreement.

     2.    Amendments.

           (a)  A new sentence is added to the end of Section 7.2 as follows:

           For purposes of clauses (b) and (c) above, only 50% of the equity
           investment shown on the Company's balance sheet attributable to
           the stock of ST Lending, Inc. shall be included in the calculation
           of the Company's Consolidated Net Worth. 

           (b)  Sections 7.3(b)(ii) and (iii) are entirely amended as
                follows:

           (ii) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income (or, in the event
                Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, then 100% of that
                deficit) of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for
                the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing on
                October 1, 1992, and including the last day of the fiscal
                quarter ended immediately prior to the date of such
                calculation, plus (iii) the aggregate net proceeds, including
                the fair market value of property other than cash (as
                determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, evidenced
                by a resolution of the Board of Directors), received by the
                Company from the issuance or sale after October 1, 1992
                (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company), of its capital
                stock and warrants, options, and rights to purchase its
                capital stock but excluding the net proceeds from the
                issuance, sale, exchange, conversion, or other disposition of
                its capital stock convertible into or exchangeable for any
                security other than its capital stock at the option of the
                holder thereof or upon the happening of any event.

           (c)  A new Section 7.8(i) is added as follows:

                (i)   The acquisition of 490 shares of the stock of ST
                      Lending, Inc. from Lomas Financial Corporation in
                      exchange for the issuance of 200 shares of the
                      Company's stock.

           (d)  Section 7.12 (b) is entirely amended as follows:

                (b) Debt for which the Company is required to deliver the
                    notes evidencing mortgage loans securing that Debt to
                    Administrative Agent as custodian.

           (e)  Effective as of the date of this amendment through November
                29, 1993, Section 8.1(e) is entirely amended as follows:

                (e)   The failure on the part of the Company to observe or
                      perform (i) any of its covenants or agreements
                      contained in Section 7 other than Section 7.4 or (ii)
                      the covenant contained in Section 7.4 for a period of
                      45 days after the date on which notice of such failure
                      has been delivered by the Company to either Agent.

     3.    Conditions Precedent.  The foregoing is not effective until all of
the following are satisfied: (a) Agents and Lenders shall have received a
copy of this amendment executed by the Company and Lenders and (b) the
representations and warranties contained in this amendment and in all other
Loan Papers, as amended by this amendment, shall be true and correct as of
the date of this amendment as if made on the date of this amendment.

     4.    Ratifications.  The terms and provisions of this amendment shall
modify and supersede all inconsistent terms and provisions of the Loan
Papers, and, except as expressly modified and superseded by this amendment,
the terms and provisions of the Loan Papers are ratified and confirmed and
shall continue in full force and effect.  The Company, Lenders, and Agents
agree that the Loan Papers as amended by this amendment shall continue to be
legal, valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
ratifies and confirms that all Liens heretofore granted to Agents, on behalf
of Lenders, were intended to, do, and shall continue to secure the full and
complete payment and performance of the Obligations, and the Company agrees
to perform such acts and duly authorize, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file,
and record such additional assignments, security agreements, modifications or
amendments to any of the foregoing, and such other agreements, documents, and
instruments as either Agent or any Lender may reasonably request in order to
perfect and protect such Liens and preserve and protect the rights of Agents
and Lenders in respect of all present and future Collateral.

      5.   Representations and Warranties.  The Company hereby represents and
warrants to Lenders and Agents that (a) this amendment and the Loan Papers to
be delivered under this amendment have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company, (b) no action of, or filing with, any Tribunal is
required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the
execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this amendment and the
Loan Papers to be delivered hereunder, (c) this amendment and the Loan Papers
to be delivered hereunder are valid and binding upon the Company and are
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms,
except as limited by the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America and
all other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, (d) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this amendment and the
Loan Papers to be delivered hereunder do not require the consent of any other
Person and do not and will not constitute a violation of any laws, agreement,
or understanding to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is
bound, (e) the representations and warranties contained in the Loan
Agreement, as amended by this amendment, and any other Loan Paper are true
and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of execution
hereof as though made as of the date of execution hereof, and (f) as of the
effective date of this amendment, no Default exists.

     6.    References.  All references in the Loan Papers to the "Loan
Agreement" shall refer to the Loan Agreement as amended by this amendment,
and, because this amendment is a "Loan Paper" referred to in the Loan
Agreement, then the provisions relating to Loan Papers set forth in Section
10 are incorporated herein by reference, the same as if set forth herein
verbatim.

     7.    Counterparts.  This amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same
document, and all of those counterparts must be construed together to
constitute one and the same document.

     8.    Parties Bound.  This amendment shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Company, Agents, and each Lender, and, subject to
Section 10.10, their respective successors and assigns.

     9.    ENTIRETY.  THIS AMENDMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT AS AMENDED HEREBY,
AND THE OTHER LOAN PAPERS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES
FOR THE TRANSACTIONS THEREIN, AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES.  THERE
ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

            THIRD AMENDMENT TO RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT


      THIS AMENDMENT is entered into as of November 30, 1993, among LOMAS
MORTGAGE USA, INC., a Connecticut corporation (the "Company"), the banks
listed on the signature pages hereof ("Lenders"), BANK ONE, TEXAS, N.A., as
administrative agent (in that capacity "Administrative Agent"), and TEXAS
COMMERCE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as syndication agent (together with
Administrative Agent "Agents").

      The Company, Lenders, and Agents have entered into the Restated Loan
and Security Agreement dated as of July 8, 1993 (as amended as of September
15, 1993, September 30, 1993, and as further renewed, extended, amended, and
restated, the "Loan Agreement") providing for loans to the Company on a
revolving basis.  The Company has requested an amendment to the Loan
Agreement in order to extend the "Termination Date," amend certain covenants
and add certain financial institutions as "Lenders" under the Loan Agreement.

      NOW THEREFORE, for valuable and acknowledged consideration, the parties
agree as follows:

      1.    Certain Definitions.  Unless otherwise specified in this
amendment, all terms defined in the Loan Agreement have the same meanings
when used in this amendment, and all references to "Sections" and "Schedules"
are references to sections and schedules of or to the Loan Agreement.

      2.    Amendments.

            (a)   The following definitions in Section 1.1 are entirely
                  amended as follows:

                  "Note Payment Account" means the non-interest bearing
                  demand deposit account number 0100072735 established by
                  the Company with Administrative Agent and controlled by
                  Administrative Agent to be used for (a) the deposit of
                  proceeds of Borrowings and payments constituting the
                  proceeds of Collateral (other than principal and interest
                  payments on the Mortgage Collateral); (b) the payment of
                  the Obligations; (c) the release of proceeds of Borrowings
                  by Administrative Agent to the Company for the purposes
                  described in Section 6.1, and (d) the release of Cash other
                  than proceeds of Borrowings by Administrative Agent to the
                  Company.

                  "Termination Date" means the earlier of (a) November 29,
                  1994, and (b) the date that all Lenders' commitments to
                  lend terminate or are cancelled under this agreement.

            (b)   Section 2.8(b)(i) is entirely amended as follows:

            (i) clause (a)(iii) above, other than interest at the Default
                Rate, and

            (c)   A new Section 2.6(j) is added as follows:

                 (j)     All payments to be made hereunder shall be made free
            and clear of, and without deduction or withholding on account of,
            any present or future domestic or foreign taxes, levies, imposts,
            duties, charges or any other deduction or withholding whatsoever
            other than taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or any other
            deductions imposed on the basis of net income.  In the event that
            the Company is required to withhold or deduct any sum from
            payments required hereunder or under any Note, the Company shall
            increase the amount paid to Lenders as may be necessary so that
            each Lender shall receive an amount, which after payment of any
            sum withheld or deducted, shall be equal to the amount that each
            such Lender would have received had such sum not been withheld or
            deducted, and the Company shall pay the full amount of all such
            taxes. Furthermore, the Company hereby indemnifies Lenders to the
            extent that Lenders effect any of the foregoing payments.

            (d)   Section 7.3(b)(iii) is entirely amended as follows:

            (iii) (A) before November 30, 1993, the aggregate net proceeds,
            including the fair market value of property other than cash (as
            determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, evidenced by
            a resolution of the Board of Directors), received by the Company
            from the issuance or sale after October 1, 1992 (other than to a
            Subsidiary of the Company), of its capital stock and warrants,
            options, and rights to purchase its capital stock but excluding
            the net proceeds from the issuance, sale, exchange, conversion,
            or other disposition of its capital stock convertible into or
            exchangeable for any security other than its capital stock at the
            option of the holder thereof or upon the happening of any event,
            and (B) after November 30, 1993, the aggregate net cash proceeds,
            received by the Company from the issuance or sale after November
            30, 1993 (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company), of its
            capital stock and warrants, options, and rights to purchase its
            capital stock but excluding the net proceeds from the issuance,
            sale, exchange, conversion, or other disposition of its capital
            stock convertible into or exchangeable for any security other
            than its capital stock at the option of the holder thereof or
            upon the happening of any event.

            (e)   Section 7.9(d) is entirely amended as follows:

                 (d)   Grant, create, incur, assume, permit or suffer to
            exist any Lien upon any Collateral except for Liens granted to
            Agents to secure the Notes and Obligations and such non-
            consensual Liens as may be deemed to arise as a matter of law
            pursuant to any Take-Out Commitment.

            (f)   Section 8.1(e) is entirely amended as follows:

                 (e)   The failure on the part of the Company to observe or
            perform (i) any of its covenants or agreements contained in
            Section 7 other than Section 7.4 or (ii) the covenant contained
            in Section 7.4 for a period of 30 days after the earlier of the
            date on which notice of such failure has been delivered by the
            Company to Agents, or the date on which notice of such failure
            has been delivered by any Lender to the Company.

            (g)   Section 10.5(b) is entirely amended as follows:

            (b) to the extent federal Laws pertaining in any way to national
            banking associations or any other federally insured depository
            otherwise govern the validity, construction, enforcement, and
            interpretation of all or any part of the Loan Papers.

            (h)   Section 10.7(c) is entirely amended as follows:

                 (c)   Subject to the provisions of this section, any Lender
            may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business
            and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or
            more Persons (each a "Participant") participating interests in
            its portion of the Obligations. No Lender shall sell any
            participating interest (other than to Affiliates of that Lender)
            in an amount such that the remaining unsold Commitment of that
            Lender equals less than the lesser of (a) 50% of that Lender's
            Commitment and (b) $10,000,000.  In the event of any such sale to
            a Participant, (i) such Lender shall remain a "Lender" under this
            agreement and the Participant shall not constitute a "Lender"
            under this agreement, (ii) such Lender's obligations under this
            agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain
            solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iv) such Lender
            shall remain the holder of its Borrowings outstanding from time
            to time for all purposes under this agreement, and (v) the
            Company and Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly
            with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
            obligations under the Loan Papers.  Participants shall have no
            rights under the Loan Papers, other than certain voting rights as
            provided below.  Each Lender shall be entitled to obtain (on
            behalf of its Participants) the benefits of this agreement with
            respect to all participations in its Borrowings outstanding from
            time to time; provided, however, the Company shall not be
            obligated to pay any amount in excess of the amount that would be
            due to such Lender under this agreement calculated as though no
            participation had been made.  At the option of the Lender selling
            a participation, a Participant with a participating interest that
            has been approved by Agents and the Company (which approval may
            not be unreasonably withheld) may be entitled to approve any
            amendment, modification, or waiver to the extent such amendment,
            modification, or waiver extends the due date for payment of any
            amount in respect of principal, interest, or fees due under the
            Loan Papers, releases any Collateral (except such releases as are
            contemplated and permitted to be made by Agents under this
            agreement) or reduces the interest rate or the rate used to
            calculate any fees, or the amount of principal, interest, or fees
            applicable to the Obligations (except such reductions as are
            contemplated by this agreement).  In those cases where a
            Participant has a participating interest which has not been
            approved by Agents and the Company, the Lender selling that
            participation may grant rights to that Participant to approve
            amendments, modifications, or waivers of any Loan Paper
            respecting only the matters described in the preceding sentence
            so long as the relevant participation agreement includes a voting
            mechanism controlling the vote for all that Lender's portion of
            the Obligations (whether held by that Lender or participated). 
            Except in the case of the sale of a participating interest to a
            Lender, the relevant participation agreement shall not permit the
            Participant to transfer, pledge, assign, sell participation in,
            or otherwise encumber its portion of the Obligations.

            (i)   The first sentence of Section 10.7(f) is entirely amended
            as follows:

                 (f)   Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.7, any
            Lender may -- in the ordinary course of its commercial banking
            business, in accordance with applicable law, and upon the written
            consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld) of
            Agents and (unless that Lender is a Terminating Lender or the
            Termination Date has occurred) the Company -- sell, assign, or
            transfer to one or more financial institutions, other
            corporations, or mutual funds that lend money to businesses or
            acquire business loans in the ordinary course of their businesses
            (each being an "Assignee"), a proportionate part in an amount
            such that the remaining Commitment (if greater than zero) of the
            transferor Lender at least equals the lesser of (a) 50% of the
            transferor Lender's Commitment and (b) $10,000,000, of all of the
            transferor Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Papers,
            and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations,
            pursuant to an assignment agreement in form and substance
            acceptable to the Company and Administrative Agent.

                   (j)   The financial institutions listed on the attached
            Annex A to this amendment have become "Lenders" under the Loan
            Agreement with a Commitment described on the attached Amended
            Schedule 1.1(a) and agree to perform all the obligations of --
            and to be bound by all the provisions applicable to -- Lenders
            under the Loan Papers.  Therefore, Schedule 1.1(a) to the Loan
            Agreement is entirely amended in the form of -- and all
            references to that schedule in the Loan Papers -- are changed to
            -- the attached Amended Schedule 1.1(a).

      3.    Adjustments.  In order to add the new Lenders ratably -- on a
Commitment Percentage basis --with the other Lenders, on November 30, 1993
(a) by 10:00 a.m., Dallas, time, Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders
and the Company of the amount that each Lender must pay or receive, as the
case may be, so that each Lender is owed its Commitment Percentage of the
Principal Debt, (b) by 1:00 p.m., Dallas, time, each Lender shall pay to
Administrative Agent the amount required by it to be paid according to that
notice, (c) by 3:00 p.m., Dallas, time, to the extent those payments are
received by Administrative Agent, it shall distribute the amounts to be
received by each Lender designated to receive funds according to that notice,
and (d) any payment made by a Lender under clause (b) shall constitute a
Ratable Borrowing and bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2.10(a)
of the Loan Agreement or an Alternative Rate selected by the Company in a
Notice of Interest Rate delivered by the Company to Administrative Agent by
no later than 1:00 p.m. on November 29, 1993.

      4.    Conditions Precedent.  The foregoing is not effective until (a)
Agents and Lenders have received all fees under the Loan Papers due and
payable on the date of this amendment and (b) Agents and Lenders have
received a copy of this amendment executed by all of the parties named below
and all of the agreements, documents, instruments, and other items described
on the attached Annex B, in form and substance and such number of
counterparts as may be satisfactory to Agents and their counsel.

      5.    Ratifications.  The terms and provisions of this amendment shall
modify and supersede all inconsistent terms and provisions of the Loan
Papers, and, except as expressly modified and superseded by this amendment,
the terms and provisions of the Loan Papers are ratified and confirmed and
shall continue in full force and effect.  The Company, Lenders, and Agents
agree that the Loan Papers as amended hereby shall continue to be legal,
valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby ratifies
and confirms that all Liens heretofore granted to Agents, on behalf of
Lenders, were intended to, do, and shall continue to secure the full and
complete payment and performance of the Obligations, and the Company agrees
to perform such acts and duly authorize, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file,
and record such additional assignments, security agreements, modifications or
amendments to any of the foregoing, and such other agreements, documents, and
instruments as either Agent or any Lender may reasonably request in order to
perfect and protect such Liens and preserve and protect the rights of Agents
and Lenders in respect of all present and future Collateral.

       6.   Representations and Warranties.  The Company hereby represents
and warrants to Lenders and Agents that (a) this amendment and the Loan
Papers to be delivered hereunder have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company, (b) no action of, or filing with, any Tribunal is
required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the
execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this amendment and the
Loan Papers to be delivered hereunder, (c) this amendment and the Loan Papers
to be delivered hereunder are valid and binding upon the Company and are
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms,
except as limited by the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America and
all other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, (d) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this amendment and the
Loan Papers to be delivered hereunder do not require the consent of any other
Person and do not and will not constitute a violation of any Laws, agreement,
or understanding to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is
bound, (e) the representations and warranties contained in the Loan
Agreement, as amended hereby, and any other Loan Paper are true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the date of execution hereof as though
made as of the date of execution hereof, and (f) as of the date of this
amendment, no Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing.

      7.    References.  All references in the Loan Papers to the "Loan
Agreement" shall refer to the Loan Agreement as amended by this amendment,
and, because this amendment is a "Loan Paper" referred to in the Loan
Agreement, then the provisions relating to Loan Papers set forth in Section
10 are incorporated herein by reference, the same as if set forth herein
verbatim.

      8.    Counterparts.  This amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same
document, and all of those counterparts must be construed together to
constitute one and the same document.

      9.    Parties Bound.  This amendment shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Company, Agents, and each Lender, and, subject to
Section 10.10, their respective successors and assigns.

      10.   ENTIRETY.  THIS AMENDMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT AS AMENDED HEREBY,
AND THE OTHER LOAN PAPERS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES
FOR THE TRANSACTIONS THEREIN, AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES.  THERE
ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

                   SIXTH AMENDMENT TO SERVICING PAYMENTS
                        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT


     THIS AMENDMENT is entered into as of July 8, 1993, between LOMAS
MORTGAGE USA, INC., a Connecticut corporation (the "Company"), the banks
listed on the signature pages of this amendment ("Banks"), and BANK ONE,
TEXAS, N.A., as agent for Banks (in that capacity "Agent").

     The Company, Banks, and Agent have entered into the Servicing Payments
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 11, 1992 (as amended through
the date of this amendment, and as further renewed, extended, amended, and
restated, the "Loan Agreement") providing for loans to the Company on a
revolving basis up to $25,000,000 outstanding at any time.  The Company has
requested amendments to the Loan Agreement in order to amend certain
definitions and covenants of the Loan Agreement.  Accordingly, for valuable
and acknowledged consideration, the Company, Banks, and Agent agree as
follows:


     1.    Certain Definitions.  Unless otherwise specified in this
amendment, all terms defined in the Loan Agreement have the same meanings
when used in this amendment, and all references to "Sections" and "Exhibits"
are references to sections and exhibits of or to the Loan Agreement.

     2.    Amendments.  The Loan Agreement is amended as follows:

            (a)  Section 1 is amended by adding or entirely amending the
      following terms:

                 "Affiliate" means, for any Person, any other individual or
           entity that controls or is controlled by, or is under common
           control with, that Person; provided that in all instances other
           than in Sections 7.5 and 9.2, a non-consolidated, publicly-held

                  SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO SERVICING PAYMENTS
                        LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT


      THIS AMENDMENT is entered into as of September 30, 1993, between LOMAS
MORTGAGE USA, INC., a Connecticut corporation (the "Company"), the banks
listed on the signature pages of this amendment ("Banks"), and BANK ONE,
TEXAS, N.A., as agent for Banks (in that capacity "Agent").

      The Company, Banks, and Agent have entered into the Servicing Payments
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 11, 1992 (as amended through
the date of this amendment, and as further renewed, extended, amended, and
restated, the "Loan Agreement") providing for loans to the Company on a
revolving basis up to $25,000,000 outstanding at any time.  The Company has
requested amendments to the Loan Agreement in order to amend certain
definitions and covenants of the Loan Agreement.  Accordingly, for valuable
and acknowledged consideration, the Company, Banks, and Agent agree as
follows:

      1.     Certain Definitions.  Unless otherwise specified in this
amendment, all terms defined in the Loan Agreement have the same meanings
when used in this amendment, and all references to "Sections" and "Exhibits"
are references to sections and exhibits of or to the Loan Agreement.

      2.     Amendments.  The Loan Agreement is amended as follows:

             (a)   A new sentence is added to the end of Section 7.2 as 
      follows:

           For purposes of clauses (b) and (c) above, only 50% of the equity
           investment shown on the Company's balance sheet attributable to
           the stock of ST Lending, Inc. shall be included in the calculation
           of the Company's Consolidated Net Worth. 

             (b)   Sections 7.3(b)(ii) and (iii) is amended in its entirety
      as follows:

                   (ii) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income (or, in the event
           Consolidated Net Income is a deficit, then 100% of that deficit)
           of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the period
           (taken as one accounting period) commencing on October 1, 1992,
           and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ended immediately
           prior to the date of such calculation, plus (iii) the aggregate
           net proceeds, including the fair market value of property other
           than cash (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors,
           evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors), received by
           the Company from the issuance or sale after October 1, 1992 (other
           than to a Subsidiary of the Company), of its capital stock and
           warrants, options, and rights to purchase its capital stock but
           excluding the net proceeds from the issuance, sale, exchange,
           conversion, or other disposition of its capital stock convertible
           into or exchangeable for any security other than its capital stock
           at the option of the holder thereof or upon the happening of any
           event.

           (c)   A new Section 7.8(i) is added as follows:

                 (i)   The acquisition of 490 shares of the stock of ST
           Lending, Inc. from Lomas Financial Corporation in exchange for the
           issuance of 200 shares of the Company's stock.

            (d)   Effective as of the date of the amendment through November
      29, 1993, Section 8.1(e) is entirely amended as follows:

                  (e)   The failure on the part of the Company to observe or
           perform (i) any of its covenants or agreements contained in
           Section 7 other than Section 7.4 or (ii) the covenant contained in
           Section 7.4 for a period of 45 days after the date on which notice
           of such failure has been delivered by the Company to either Agent.

      3.     Conditions Precedent.  Paragraph 2 is not effective until Agent
and Banks (a) receive counterparts of this amendment executed by each party
listed below and (b) each agreement, document, instrument, and other item
listed on Annex A.

      4.     Ratifications.  The terms and provisions of this amendment shall
modify and supersede all inconsistent terms and provisions of the Loan
Papers, and, except as expressly modified and superseded by this amendment,
the terms and provisions of the Loan Papers are ratified and confirmed and
shall continue in full force and effect.  The Company, Banks, and Agent agree
that the Loan Papers as amended by this amendment shall continue to be legal,
valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby ratifies
and confirms that all Liens (except as amended by this amendment) heretofore
granted to Agent, on behalf of Banks, were intended to, do, and shall
continue to secure the full and complete payment and performance of the
Obligations, and the Company agrees to perform such acts and duly authorize,
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record such additional assignments,
security agreements, modifications or amendments to any of the foregoing, and
such other agreements, documents, and instruments as Agent or any Bank may
reasonably request in order to perfect and protect such Liens and preserve
and protect the rights of Agent and Banks in respect of all present and
future Collateral.

       5.    Representations and Warranties.  The Company hereby represents
and warrants to Banks and Agent that (a) this amendment and the Loan Papers
to be delivered under this amendment have been duly executed and delivered by
the Company, (b) no action of, or filing with, any Tribunal is required to
authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the execution,
delivery, and performance by the Company of this amendment and the Loan
Papers to be delivered under this amendment, (c) this amendment and the Loan
Papers to be delivered under this amendment are valid and binding upon the
Company and are enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
respective terms, except as limited by the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States of America and all other similar Laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally, (d) the execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of this amendment and the Loan Papers to be delivered under this
amendment do not require the consent of any other Person and do not and will
not constitute a violation of any laws, agreement, or understanding to which
the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound, (e) the
representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement, as amended by
this amendment, are true and correct in all material respects except to the
extent that (i) the representations and warranties speak to a specific date
or (ii) the facts on which the representations and warranties were based have
been changed by transactions contemplated or permitted by the Loan Agreement
as of the date of this amendment, (f) as of the date of this amendment, no
Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, and (g)
no change in the financial condition or prospect of the Company which could
reasonably be expected to be a Material Adverse Event has or will have
occurred.

      6.     References.  All references in the Loan Papers to the "Loan
Agreement" shall refer to the Loan Agreement as amended by this amendment,
and, because this amendment is a "Loan Paper" referred to in the Loan
Agreement, then the provisions relating to Loan Papers set forth in Section
10 are incorporated herein by reference, the same as if set forth herein
verbatim.

      7.     Counterparts.  This amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same
document.  All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and
the same instrument.

      8.     Parties Bound.  This amendment shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Company, Agent, and each Bank, and, subject to
Section 10.10, their respective successors and assigns.

      9.     ENTIRETY.  THIS AMENDMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT AS AMENDED HEREBY,
AND THE OTHER LOAN PAPERS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES
FOR THE TRANSACTIONS THEREIN, AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES.  THERE
ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Dear David:

As you are aware, Lomas Financial Corporation (the "Parent")
established on June 30, 1990, an Employee Protection Plan (the
"Plan") for certain officers and employees of the Lomas Financial
Group of affiliated companies.  You were a participant in the Plan,
which by its terms expired July 31, 1993, eighteen months after the
Company's final emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings on January
31, 1992.  However, I am pleased to report to you that Lomas
Mortgage USA, Inc. (the "Company") has decided to provide you on an
individual basis with protection comparable to that provided by the
Plan through June 30, 2008.

Specifically, should you be involuntarily terminated (for any
reason other than for cause or by reason of a transfer to a
position with another entity within the Lomas Financial Group), you
will receive in addition to all otherwise accrued and vested
benefits, a lump sum cash payment equal to 200% of your then
current annual base salary.  The foregoing severance benefit will
also be paid in the event of your "constructive discharge,"
"mutually agreed to early retirement" or at your election, upon a
"change-in-control."

"Constructive Discharge" is defined as termination of employment
due to (a) a reduction in your base salary of 10 percent or more in
any calendar year or an aggregate reduction in your base salary of
20 percent or more in any four calendar years, (b) a material
reduction in your job function, duties or responsibilities, or (c)
a required relocation of more than 100 miles from your current
location of employment.  Provided, however, that if you elect to
continue to be employed after an event of "constructive discharge,"
you may not receive benefits under this letter.

"Change-in-Control" is defined as a change in control, without your
concurrence, of a nature that would be required to be reported in
response to Item 1 or Item 2 of the Form 8-K Current Report
promulgated pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); provided
that, without limitation, such a Change-in-Control shall be deemed
to have occurred if (y) any "person" (as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Parent
representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined
voting power of the Parent's then outstanding securities, and (z)
individuals who, at the date of this letter, constituted the Board
of Directors of the Parent cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority thereof, unless the election of each director who
was not a director at the date of this letter has, prior to such
election, been approved by directors who both represent at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the directors in office at the time of such
approval and who were also directors at the date of this letter.

"Mutually agreed to early retirement" is defined as early
retirement under any preexisting retirement plan of the Company
agreed to by the Company.  If the Company and you mutually agree to
an early retirement you will receive payment as if involuntarily
terminated and may, in the sole discretion of the chief executive
officer of the Company, be granted up to three additional years of
credited service for purposes of calculation of benefits under any
retirement plan in effect at the time of severance.    

If, as a result of your involuntary termination prior to attaining
age 55, you receive payment of the severance benefit provided in
this letter, you also will receive, upon payment of any plan-
required employee contributions, an enhanced retirement benefit
derived by crediting you with additional years of pay and service
through your fifty-fifth birthday for purposes of calculating
benefits under the Management Security Plan.

In addition, the Company will continue your coverage under the
Company's group medical plan on the same terms as provided for an
active employee for two years following any involuntary termination
of your employment which results in payment of the severance
benefits described above.

Finally, you will forfeit the benefits described in this letter if
you voluntarily terminate your employment or if your employment is
"terminated for cause" by the Company.

"Terminated for cause" is defined as termination of employment due
to any of the following circumstances:

     (1)  gross incompetence, insubordination, excessive absences,
          negligence or dishonesty in the performance of Company
          duties; or

     (2)  actions which cause the Company to lose any license or
          certification necessary for the operation of the Company;
          or

     (3)  conviction of fraud, theft or embezzlement or conviction
          of any felony.

The severance benefits provided in this letter are in recognition
of your past and anticipated future valuable contributions to the
Company and are governed entirely by the terms of this letter.

Sincerely,


Jess Hay

payment of any plan-required employee contributions, under the
Management Security Plan.

As you know, a portion of your incentive compensation for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1991, 1992 and 1993 has been deferred
pursuant to letter agreements between the Company and you dated
August 22, 1991, July 1, 1992 and August 24, 1993 (collectively,
the "Deferred Incentive Compensation Agreements").  Pursuant to the
Deferred Incentive Compensation Agreements, you will be paid,
subject to continued employment as described below, the following
amounts on the dates indicated:

          Payment Date          Amount  

          July 1, 1994        $ 138,770
          July 1, 1995          131,205
          July 1, 1996          123,640
          July 1, 1997           82,075
          July 1, 1998           42,400

If you die before payment in full under the Deferred Incentive
Compensation Agreements, all unpaid installments will be paid to
your wife, if she survives you, or to your estate if she does not
survive you, at the time and in the manner set forth above.  If you
are involuntarily terminated (for any reason other than for cause
or by reason of transfer to a position with another entity within
the Lomas Financial Group) or in the event of your "constructive
discharge" or "mutually agreed to early retirement" (as such
phrases are defined above) the remaining unpaid installments under
the Deferred Incentive Compensation Agreements will be paid to you
upon the effective date of your termination.  In addition, the
Company will continue your coverage under the Company's group
medical plan on the same terms as provided for an active employee
for two years following any involuntary termination of your
employment which results in payment of the severance benefits
described above.

<PAGE>
Finally, you will forfeit the benefits described in this letter and
any unpaid installments under the Deferred Incentive Compensation
Agreements if you voluntarily terminate your employment or if your
employment is "terminated for cause" by the Company.

"Terminated for cause" is defined as termination of employment due
to any of the following circumstances:

     (1)  gross incompetence, insubordination, excessive absences,
          negligence or dishonesty in the performance of Company
          duties; or

     (2)  actions which cause the Company to lose any license or
          certification necessary for the operation of the Company;
          or

     (3)  conviction of fraud, theft or embezzlement or conviction
          of any felony.

The severance benefits provided in this letter and the deferred
payments under the Deferred Incentive Compensation Agreements are
in recognition of your past and anticipated future valuable
contributions to the Company and are governed by the terms of this
letter and, to the extent consistent with this letter, by the
Deferred Incentive Compensation Agreements.
