restating Items 5(c) and 7 in their entirety, as follows:

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         On September 16, 1999, Mr. F.M. Kirby executed a letter agreement
regarding the voting of certain shares of Common Stock of Chicago Title, as
described in Item 6 below.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (c) On September 16, 1999, Mr. F.M. Kirby executed a letter agreement
regarding the voting of certain shares of Common Stock of Chicago Title, as
described in Item 6 below.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer.

         On September 16, 1999, Mr. F.M. Kirby executed a letter agreement (the
"Letter Agreement") pursuant to which he agreed, for a period ending upon the
earlier of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of August 1, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement") by and
between Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Fidelity"),
and Chicago Title or the termination of the Merger Agreement, to vote all shares

non-fiduciary capacity at the meeting of the stockholders of Chicago Title
called by Chicago Title for the purpose of seeking approval and adoption of the
Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in favor of such
approval and adoption. The Letter Agreement provides that it shall terminate,
and be of no further force and effect, in the event that the Merger Agreement is
amended so that the terms thereof, in Mr. F.M. Kirby's reasonable judgment, are
less favorable to the stockholders of Chicago Title. The foregoing description
of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of such document, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated

to Fidelity's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on October 15, 1999.

Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger

Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Fidelity"), and Chicago Title
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

         The undersigned stockholder of the Company hereby agrees, for a period
ending upon the earlier of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement or the termination of the Merger Agreement, to vote all
shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company over which he
exercises voting power in a non-fiduciary capacity at the meeting of the

         This letter agreement shall terminate, and be of no further force and
