ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's By-Laws provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, as amended from time to time, indemnify all persons whom it may
indemnify pursuant thereto.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
amended, permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably
incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by
third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers,
employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees
or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was
unlawful. In an action by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification
may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors,
officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of
an action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall
have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to
the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant
directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnitee for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
Article Seven of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, provides that the Company's directors will not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors except (a) for any
breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware, as amended, which makes directors liable for unlawful
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions or (d) for transactions
from which directors derive an improper personal benefit.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) of the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
II-3
<PAGE> 6
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Re: Issuance of Shares Pursuant to
Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to F.Y.I. Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of a Registration Statement on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement") relating to the registration by the Company of
an aggregate of 2,018,500 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock,
$.01 par value per share, to be issued pursuant to options granted or to be
granted under the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (as amended to date, the
"Plan").
In so acting, we have examined originals, or copies certified
or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (a) the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, (b) the By-Laws of the Company,
(c) a good standing certificate dated as of a recent date from the State of
Delaware, (d) the Plan and (e) such other documents, records, certificates and
other instruments of the Company as in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the following opinion:
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
<PAGE> 2
F.Y.I. Incorporated
June 7, 1996
Page 2
2. The Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the
options and the Plan and for consideration not less than par value per
Share, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
We are expressing the opinions above as members of the Bar of
the State of New York and express no opinion as to any law other than the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving such opinion, we do not thereby admit that
we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
