Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("CarSub"),  into MMS, pursuant to

CarSub and MMS,  a copy of which is  attached  hereto as Exhibit 1 (the  "Merger
Agreement")  and is  incorporated  herein by  reference.  Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement,  at the  effective  time of the  Merger,  the  outstanding  shares of
capital  stock of MMS were  canceled and  exchanged  for the Merger  Shares in a
private placement  pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities  Act").  Prior to the effective time of the
Merger,  the  Reporting  Persons,  collectively,  owned 100% of the  outstanding
capital stock of MMS.

ITEM 4.        PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

               As described above in Item 3, each Reporting  Person acquired the
Merger  Shares in  connection  with the Merger  for  investment  purposes.  Each
Reporting Person will continue to evaluate  his/her  investment in the Issuer on
the  basis of  various  factors,  including  the  Issuer's  business,  financial
condition,  results of operations and prospects,  general  economic and industry
conditions,  the  securities  markets  in  general  and those  for the  Issuer's
securities in particular, such Reporting Person's own financial condition, other
investment  opportunities  and  other  future  developments.   Based  upon  such
evaluation,  each Reporting  Person will take such actions in the future as such
Reporting  Person may deem  appropriate in light of the  circumstances  existing
from time to time. Depending on market and other factors, a Reporting Person may
determine  to  dispose  of some or all of the  Shares  owned  by such  Reporting
Person.

               As described  above in Item 3, the Merger Shares were acquired by
the  Reporting  Persons in a private  placement  pursuant to  Regulation  D and,
therefore,  may not be sold, pledged,  conveyed or otherwise transferred without
registration  or  qualification  under the Securities  Act and applicable  state
securities or blue sky laws or a valid exemption  therefrom.  In connection with
the Merger,  the Issuer  granted to the  Reporting  Persons  certain  demand and
incidental  registration rights pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement (the
"Registration Rights Agreement").

               Except as set forth in this Item 4, no Reporting Person has plans
or proposals with respect to any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through
(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

                              STOCK LOAN AGREEMENT

      This agreement is entered into this 31st day of June, 1996 between James
F. Thacker (Thacker) and Lori Caudill (Caudill) pursuant to the provisions of
Section 1058 of the Internal Revenue Code;

      WHEREAS, Caudill desires to borrow certain shares of Medaphis Corporation
common stock for various uses, and

      WHEREAS, Thacker is willing to temporarily transfer certain shares of his
Medaphis Corporation stock to Caudill for use under certain circumstances.

      NOW, therefore in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. On or before July 26, 1996, Thacker shall transfer two hundred fifty thousand
(250,000) shares of Medaphis Corporation common stock to Caudill.

2. Upon notice from Thacker to Caudill, Caudill shall within five (5) business
days, return to Thacker two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of Medaphis
Corporation common stock identical to the stock transferred pursuant to "1"

number of shares in which case, Thacker continues to have the option of
requiring the return of the balance of the two hundred fifty thousand (250,000)
shares within five (5) business days upon subsequent notice.

      On July 1, 1998, Caudill shall return to Thacker any of the two hundred
fifty thousand (250,000) shares of Medaphis stock which has not been previously
returned.

3. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, or merger of Medaphis
Corporation during the term of this loan, Caudill is permitted to return stock

any dividends or other distributions made by Medaphis Corporation which Thacker,
as the owner of the loaned shares, is entitled to receive during the period

payments to Thacker at such time as Thacker would receive them had he not loaned

                   ANNUITY AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF
                                  COMMON STOCK


      This Agreement is made and entered into by and between James F. Thacker,
sometimes hereinafter referred to as "Seller", and Empire Investment Banking
Company, sometimes hereinafter referred to as "Buyer",

      WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of shares of restricted common stock
("stock") of Medaphis Corporation, hereinafter sometimes referred to as
"Company": and

      WHEREAS Seller is willing to sell 1,000,000 shares of said restricted
common stock, and Buyer is willing to purchase said stock in Company upon the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

      NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED as follows:

      1. Purchase of Common Stock. Seller agrees to sell, and Buyer agrees to
buy Seller's stock in Company for the sum of $4,300,000. The purchase price
shall be paid as follows:

      By payment of quarterly annuity payments in the amount of $114,566.92
payable to Seller for the term of his life. The annuity starting date is
November 1, 1996 with the first quarterly payment due January 31, 1997. Payments
shall cease to accrue upon the death of Seller with final payment prorated to
the date of death.

      2. Assignment and Transfer.

      a) Seller hereby sells and transfers to Buyer said 1,000,000 shares of
restricted common stock in Company.

      b) Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer at the closing, or at any
subsequent time as may be demanded by Buyer, such bill of sale, assignment or
other documents evidencing the conveyance of said 1,000,000 shares of restricted
common stock of the Company to Buyer.

      c) At the closing, Seller shall deliver such certificates evidencing such
shares, duly endorsed in blank, to Buyer, with appropriate stock powers for
transferring said shares on the books and records of the corporation as herein
provided or as otherwise directed by Buyer.

      3. Warranties of Seller.

      a) Seller hereby represents and warrants that he is the owner,
beneficially and of the record, of said 1,000,000 shares of common stock of
Company free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security agreements,
equities, options, claims, charges and

restrictions. Seller has full power to transfer the common stock without
obtaining the consent or approval of any person or entity.

      4. Liabilities, Seller warrants and represents that he has not knowingly
insured any liabilities in the name of Medaphis which are obligations of said
corporation. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Buyer free and harmless
from any liabilities knowingly incurred by Seller in the name of said
corporation which are not reflected on the books and records of the company on
the date of this agreement.

      5. Warranties of Buyer.

      a) Buyer hereby represents and warrants that it is purchasing the stock
which is the subject of this agreement for long-term investment purposes and
that Seller is only willing to enter into this agreement based on said
representation. Buyer acknowledges that Seller will be selling registered shares
over the next several years and that Seller's willingness to enter into this
agreement is based both upon Buyer's willingness to warrant such long-term
investment purpose and upon the restrictions upon resale set forth herein. This
is a material inducement to Seller's entering into this Agreement.

      Buyer hereby represents and warrants that it will not in any manner
attempt to have any part of the 1,000,000 shares being purchased registered for
sale in the market prior to June 30, 2000. Buyer acknowledges that any such
attempt would materially damage Seller due to Seller's expressed intention to
register and sell a substantial number of other shares owned by Seller.

      Buyer further agrees that after June 30, 2000, it will not sell more than

                                    AGREEMENT

               This agreement is entered into as of the 3rd day of January 1987
between James F. Thacker (Thacker) and William DeZonia (DeZonia).

               WHEREAS,  DeZonia  has been an  employee  of  Medical  Management
Sciences, Inc. (MMS) since January 1, 1981, and

               WHEREAS,  Thacker,  as President of MMS, is highly compensated by
MMS, and

               WHEREAS, as the result of Thacker's high compensation, Thacker is
required by MMS to be solely responsible for acquiring new clients, servicing
both existing and new clients on a monthly basis including monthly meetings at
each client's place of business, analyzing the client's production, billing, and
delivery of its services, design and redesign of all client's billing,
production, and service delivery, and

               WHEREAS, Thacker's responsibility requires servicing these
clients spread throughout several states with multiple sites in these states,
and

               WHEREAS, the number of potential clients requesting meetings with
presentations has increased significantly but Thacker and MMS have no way of
determining how long this level of intensity will prevail, and

               WHEREAS, MMS is not in a liquidity position to provide Thacker
with additional employees to assist him in his extensive and increasing duties
and responsibilities and is not expected to be in such a position in the
foreseeable future, and

               WHEREAS, it is in Thacker's best financial interest to insure
adept services are provided to existing clientele and that knowledgeable
presentations are made to prospective clients since this is absolutely necessary
in order that Thacker be able to maintain and improve his compensation level,
and

               WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of MMS has informed Thacker that
there is no objection to Thacker securing assistance in the performance of his
duties and responsibilities provided Thacker supervise the performance and be
exclusively responsible for compensating any said assistants, and

               WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of MMS has further informed
Thacker that there is no objection to Thacker engaging the services of William
DeZonia for said assistance provided such services provided to Thacker by
DeZonia do not interfere with DeZonia's present duties to MMS and that said
services to Thacker be provided through DeZonia's working additional evening and
weekend hours, and further provided that both Thacker and DeZonia agree to
immediately terminate DeZonia's services to Thacker upon thirty days request in
writing from the MMS Board of Directors, and




<PAGE>
<PAGE>

               WHEREAS, DeZonia is willing to assist Thacker in Thacker's duties
at MMS in compliance with the restrictions placed on said assistance by the MMS
Board of Directors as outlined above, and

               WHEREAS, DeZonia agrees that Thacker is solely responsible for
compensating him for said services and that said services are to be rendered to
Thacker and not to MMS and therefore MMS has no responsibility in any manner
whatsoever to compensate him and that he is in no manner an agent of MMS while
performing duties for Thacker, and

               WHEREAS, Thacker agrees that he is solely responsible for
compensating DeZonia for DeZonia's assistance to Thacker in Thacker's
performance of his duties as an employee of MMS,

               NOW, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

               1.   DeZonia agrees to assist Thacker in the performance of
               Thacker's duties as an employee of MMS subject to the
               restrictions required by the MMS Board of Directors as set
               forth above herein.

               2.   DeZonia agrees to perform such services for Thacker as
               Thacker directs including the time and place that said
               services are to be rendered but again subject to the
               restrictions required by the MMS Board of Directors as set
               forth above herein.

               3.   DeZonia acknowledges that the performance of said duties
               will require extensive travel including weekends.

               4.   DeZonia will provide Thacker with ongoing timely reports of
               his activities and immediately inform Thacker of any client
               dissatisfaction that may require Thacker's personal
               attention.

               5.   DeZonia agrees to defer all compensation for his services to
               Thacker until the earlier of ten years from the effective
               date of this agreement or Thacker's termination of
               employment with MMS.

               6.   Thacker and DeZonia agree that prior to the termination of
               the deferral of compensation period set forth in "5." above,
               they will agree upon both the amount of compensation due to
               DeZonia for his services to Thacker and upon the payment
               terms. Said agreement shall be added as "Exhibit A" to this
               agreement.

the terms hereof will be evidenced below.

                             AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES

               This agreement is entered into as of this 1st day of November,
1996, between James F. Thacker (THACKER) and Jo Anne Maxwell (Contractor).

WHEREAS, Contractor has performed various management tasks for THACKER over the
past year, and

WHEREAS, THACKER desires to engage the services of Contractor to advise him in
his various management tasks, and

WHEREAS, THACKER desires to insure the long term availability of Contractor's
management advisory services, and

WHEREAS, Contractor is willing and able to commit to a long term agreement and

WHEREAS, THACKER is unwilling to engage Contractor on a contingent percentage
basis, and

WHEREAS, the parties to this agreement realize and agree that the services to be
rendered by Contractor are intrinsically more valuable if Contractor's services
are available for several years due to the maturation of the projects involved.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained
herein, the parties agree as follows:

          1.   Thacker will assign projects selected by him to Contractor on an
               as needed basis.

          2.   Contractor agrees that projects assigned by Thacker shall receive
               priority treatment over any other projects upon which Contractor
               may be engaged.

          3.   Thacker may also call upon Contractor for management consultation
               and advice on an ad hoc basis on projects not specifically
               assigned to Contractor.

          4.   Contractor acknowledges that the services contemplated under this
               agreement may require up to thirty hours per week.

          5.   Contractor acknowledges that the various projects which will be
               assigned to Contractor and the requests for ad hoc consultations
               will all be time sensitive requiring timely responses.

          6.   Contractor agrees that the services contemplated under this
               agreement will be rendered over the five year period ending
               October 31, 2001 and,

          7.   Contractor agrees that during the five year period of this
               agreement that Contractor will refrain from contracting for her
               services in any manner that may make her unavailable to render
               the services contemplated herein in a timely manner.




<PAGE>
<PAGE>

          8.   Contractor acknowledges that in the performance of this agreement
               she will be privy to confidential and secret information, trade
               secrets, financial information and budgets, and personal
               information the disclosure of which would be detrimental to
               Thacker and that disclosure of any such information to anyone
               without the written permission of Thacker is a material breach of
               this agreement.

          9.   In full payment for all services to be rendered by Contractor
               pursuant to this agreement, Thacker shall transfer to Contractor
               free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, two hundred thousand
               (200,000) shares of the RESTRICTED common stock of MEDAPHIS
               CORPORATION. Each of the parties to this agreement acknowledge
               that the value of said shares is Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars
               ($900,000.00) and agree to said value for state and federal
               income tax purposes.

          10.  Contractor agrees that any failure to perform services hereunder
               in a timely manner as requested by Thacker shall constitute a
               material breach of this agreement.

          11.  Contractor agrees that actual damages resulting from a material
               breach of this agreement would be difficult to determine.
               Therefore, the parties hereto agree that in the event that
               Contractor shall materially breach this agreement, liquidated
               damages in the amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
               ($700,000.00) shall be payable to Thacker.

          12.  Thacker agrees to transfer the Two Hundred Thousand (200,000)
               shares of Restricted Common Stock of MEDAPHIS CORPORATION to
               Contractor as soon as said transfer can be made in compliance
               with the policies of MEDAPHIS CORPORATION and applicable security
               laws but in no event later than January 15, 1997.

               In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, or merger of
               MEDAPHIS CORPORATION during the term of this Agreement, the
               option herein shall be treated as an option for the equivalent of
               the two hundred thousand (200,000) shares which is the subject of
               the option.

The rights, duties, and obligations set forth herein are personal to the parties
hereto and may not be assigned but shall be binding on the personal
representatives of said parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement for Services as of
the 1st day of November, 1996.
