          "Section 8.4.  Capital Adequacy; Asset Coverage.
     Borrower shall not permit an amount equal to Total
     Consolidated Debt less fifty percent (50%) of the face
     value of all Approved Subordinated Debt as of the last

in their entirety as follows:

          "(c) Investments in Excluded Subsidiaries so long
     as (x) in the case of Excluded Subsidiaries other than
     the NIM Subsidiaries, the aggregate amount of such
     Investments does not exceed $200,000,000, of which
     $50,000,000 shall be allocated for and used only in
     association with the refinancing of existing
     indebtedness provided by Persons other than the Lenders
     whereby bankruptcy remote or similar vehicles properly
     designated by Borrower as Excluded Subsidiaries are
     utilized, and of which $70,000,000 shall be allocated
     for and used only in the normal course of business in
     support of financing and securitization activities of
     the commercial finance activities of Borrower and its
     Subsidiaries (as such sublimits may be adjusted from
     time to time by Administrative Agent in its sole and
     absolute discretion after receipt and review of all
     information and documents required by Administrative
     Agent in connection with any such adjustment requested
     by Borrower), and (y) in the case of the Excluded
     Subsidiaries that are the NIM Subsidiaries, so long as
     the aggregate amount of such Investments does not
     exceed $170,000,000; provided, however, that if the
     following requirements with respect to a particular
     Excluded Subsidiary are met in Administrative Agent's
     determination in its sole and absolute discretion, then
     Investments in such Excluded Subsidiary shall not be
     included for purposes of calculating the foregoing
     limitation:"

          "(d) Investments by Borrower and the Guarantors in
     Foreign Subsidiaries, so long as the aggregate amount
     of such Investments (at original cost) does not exceed
     $200,000,000;"

          "(e) Loans to any employees of Borrower or any

     notes that are due and payable in full on or before

     to Administrative Agent, and with respect to which such
     loans Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is entitled to
     an offset under the MIC Merger Agreement, and (iii) in
     addition to those permitted above, so long as the aggregate
     of such loans pursuant to this clause (iii) does not exceed
     $1,500,000."

     (f)  Minimum Fixed Payment Ratio.  There shall be added a
new Section 8.20 to the Credit Agreement that shall read in its
entirety as follows:

          "Section 8.20.  Certain Payment Limitations.
     Borrower shall not make or permit its Subsidiaries to
     make any prepayment on the Senior Notes if at the time
     of such prepayment, or as a result thereof, the Fixed
     Payment Ratio shall be less than 1.00 to 1.00.  For
     purposes of determining compliance with this Section
     8.20, the Fixed Payment Ratio shall be calculated on a
     rolling four quarters basis, commencing on January 1,
     1999, or such applicable shorter period until four
     quarters have elapsed since January 1, 1999."

     3.   Pricing.  The revised LIBOR Margins, Variable Rate and
Letter of Credit Fee percentages set forth in the Second
Modification shall remain in effect from and after the date
hereof.  Attached as Exhibit B to this Modification Agreement is
a new Schedule II to more clearly reflect the applicable tiers of
the LIBOR Margin and Letter of Credit Fee percentages; and the
Schedule II attached to the Credit Agreement (as modified and
replaced in the Second Modification) shall be modified, restated
and replaced in its entirety by the Schedule II attached hereto
as Exhibit B.

     4.   Asset Coverage Variance Fee.  At any time that the
Asset Coverage Ratio is less than 1.20 to 1.00, as indicated in a
monthly report calculating the Asset Coverage Requirement
delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(f) of
the Credit Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a fee (the "Asset
Coverage Variance Fee") in an amount equal to the product of
 .125% per annum times the aggregate principal amount from day to
day outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term
Facility for each day during the period from Administrative
Agent's receipt of such report until such time as Borrower
delivers to Administrative Agent a subsequent monthly report
calculating the Asset Coverage Requirement, as required under
Section 7.1(f), showing that the Asset Coverage Ratio is equal to
or greater than 1.20 to 1.00.  Any unpaid Asset Coverage Variance
Fee shall be due and payable on the same dates as interest is due
under the Revolving Notes (but in addition to any other payments
due on such dates).  The Asset Coverage Variance Fee shall be
part of the Obligations under and as defined in the Credit
Agreement for all purposes, and nonpayment thereof shall be an
Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) of  the Credit Agreement.

     5.   Revolving Credit Facility Advances.  Due to funding
requirements and fluctuations on Alternate Currency Advances, the
penultimate sentence of Section 2.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is
amended to read as follows:

          "Advances shall be made under the Short Term
     Revolving Facility only after and so long as the Long
     Term Revolving Facility is fully funded, except for an
     amount under the Long Term Revolving Facility not to
     exceed $10,000,000 that may be reserved in
     Administrative Agent's sole discretion (but which is
     available for advance after advancing under the Short
     Term Revolving Facility) for fundings or fluctuations
     in Alternate Currency Advances."

     6.   Inspections.   To make clear that Administrative Agent,
in such capacity, is not limited in its inspection rights, the
proviso at the end of the first sentence of Section 7.3 of the
Credit Agreement is amended to read as follows:

           "provided, that, prior to the occurrence of a Default,
     each Lender (but not including Administrative Agent), will
     make no more than two such visits or inspections in any
     twelve month period."

     7.   Assignments.  Sections 11.10(a)(iv) and 11.10(c) of the
Credit Agreement are amended to read in their entirety as
follows:

     together with any Note subject to such assignment and a
     processing fee of $3,500 and payment of all legal fees
     and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent with

     Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together
     with any Note subject to such assignment and payment of
     the processing fee and the legal fees and expenses of
     Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall, if
     such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and
     is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i)
     accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
     information contained therein in the Register and (iii)
     give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto."

     8.   Pendragon Asset Transfer and Release.  In accordance
with Section 5.7 of the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent
and the Lenders hereby agree that certain asset management assets
of the AMRESCO Pendragon Entity, with an aggregate book value not
to exceed $25,000,000, may be contributed to Pendragon Corp., and
Administrative Agent will release the Lenders' Liens with respect
to such transferred assets, provided that (a) all capital stock
of Pendragon Corp. (both common and preferred) owned by the

of the equity interests in the AMRESCO Pendragon Entity, are
pledged to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, on
terms acceptable to Administrative Agent, and (b) Administrative
Agent has received copies of and approved the terms of all
documents evidencing the transaction contemplated by the

     9.   NIM Transaction.  As a condition to the Lenders'
approval of the NIM Transaction and the amendments to Section
8.9(c) of the Credit Agreement related to investments in the NIM
Subsidiaries, Borrower represents, warrants and agrees with the
Lenders that (a) the NIM Intermediate Trust Subsidiary will be a
Delaware business trust, (b) 100% of the beneficial interests in
the NIM Intermediate Trust Subsidiary will be held by AMRESCO
Residential Capital Markets, Inc. ("ARCMI"), a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Borrower, (c) the NIM Intermediate Trust Subsidiary
will be formed as an intermediate trust, which trust shall be a
special purpose "bankruptcy remote" entity that has assets
consisting solely of certificates evidencing interests in the NIM
Issuing Trust Subsidiary, including all or a portion of the rated
notes issued by the NIM Issuing Trust Subsidiary, (d) 100% of the
beneficial interests in the NIM Issuing Trust Subsidiary will be
held by the NIM Intermediate Trust Subsidiary, and the sole
purpose of the NIM Issuing Trust Subsidiary will be to issue a
series of rated notes secured by the Residual Assets
Certificates, and (e) neither of the NIM Subsidiaries shall have
any liabilities (including without limitation, federal income tax
liabilities), except for certain liabilities of the NIM Issuing
Trust Subsidiary that are expressly set forth in the trust
indenture governing the NIM Issuing Trust Subsidiary, subject to
Administrative Agent's prior approval (not to be unreasonably
withheld) of the terms of such trust indenture and the specific
terms of any of the liabilities incurred as permitted thereunder.
ARCMI's 100% beneficial ownership certificate in the NIM
Intermediate Trust Subsidiary shall be pledged to Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, on terms and subject to
documentation acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion, and the NIM Intermediate Trust Subsidiary and the NIM
Issuing Trust Subsidiary shall be Excluded Subsidiaries (as
indicated on the replacement Schedule V to the Credit Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit E).

     10.  Treasury Stock Purchase.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the Credit Agreement (including without
limitation the provisions of Section 8.19 thereof), Borrower
shall not purchase any of its stock or other equity interests so
long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid.
     11.  Prepayment of Senior Notes.  Notwithstanding anything
in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall be
entitled to prepay the Senior Notes, in a maximum principal
amount of $57,500,000, provided that at the time of such
prepayment (a) Borrower shall be in compliance with new Section
8.20 of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby), (b) there shall
not have occurred a Default or Event of Default, and (c) Borrower
shall have delivered written notice to Administrative Agent of
such prepayment.

     12.  Interest Rate Buy-Downs.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, Borrower and any individual Lender (as used in this
Section 12, a "Buy-Down Lender") may enter into an agreement (a
"Buy-Down Agreement") with respect to all or a portion of the
Revolving Commitment and/or the Term Facility held by such Buy-
Down Lender, pursuant to which Buy-Down Agreement the interest
otherwise payable by Borrower to such Buy-Down Lender during any
interest calculation period shall be reduced based on the amount
of certain deposits ("Available Deposits") maintained by Borrower
with such Buy-Down Lender or its Affiliates.  Borrower shall give
Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any Buy-Down
Agreement immediately upon execution thereof.  Prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the
Obligations (upon which acceleration any Buy-Down Agreement shall
terminate), any Buy-Down Lender shall invoice Borrower directly
for all interest accrued and payable to such Buy-Down Lender on
account of its Revolving Commitment and/or Term Note.
Administrative Agent, in rendering any interest charges or
billing pursuant to the Credit Agreement, shall have no
obligation to bill any interest payable to a Buy-Down Lender in
respect of its Revolving Commitment and/or Term Note, or to
verify the amount of any Available Deposits or the interest
amounts payable to any Buy-Down Lender in respect of its
Revolving Commitment and/or Term Note, including without
limitation any deficiency fees or other amounts payable to such
Buy-Down Lender by Borrower under the applicable Buy-Down
Agreement.  Borrower shall pay all interest, and any deficiency
fees or other amounts payable under any Buy-Down Agreement,
directly to the applicable Buy-Down Lender as and when required
under the Buy-Down Agreement.  Any Buy-Down Lender may elect not
to make demand for the payment of deficiency fees accruing in
respect of Available Deposits from time to time, and it is
expressly agreed and understood that (a) any such deficiency fees
shall not, by reason of such failure of such Buy-Down Lender or
otherwise, be deemed to have been waived by such Buy-Down Lender
(except as such waiver is expressly acknowledged in writing by
such Buy-Down Lender from time to time), and (b) all deficiency
fees accrued and unpaid hereunder and not so expressly waived,
whether or not previously declared due and owing by any such Buy-
Down Lender, shall automatically be due and payable in full upon
the Short Term Revolving Facility Termination Date, the Long Term
Revolving Facility Termination Date, or the Term Facility
Termination Date, as applicable.

     13.  Definition of Loan Documents.  The definition of "Loan
