Company's Financial Statements by July 25, 1997, then (i) the Shareholders may
acquire the uncollected Receivables plus any unpaid interest accrued thereon by
payment to the Surviving Corporation of an amount in cash equal to such
uncollected Receivables and interest multiplied by a factor of 6.0 on or before
July 25, 1997 or (ii) FYI may retain an amount of FYI Stock equal to the
product of the sum of all such uncollected Receivables plus any unpaid interest
accrued thereon multiplied by a factor of 6.0 from the FYI Stock retained by
FYI as provided for in Section 3.1(a) hereof, and if the amount of FYI Stock
retained by FYI pursuant to Section 3.1(a) hereof is not sufficient to
compensate the Surviving Corporation for such uncollected Receivables (based
upon the then-fair market value of such shares of FYI Stock as determined by
the closing price for such shares on the Nasdaq National Market on July 25,
1997), the Surviving Corporation may seek indemnification against the
Shareholders for such shortfall in accordance with Section 10 hereof. The
Surviving Corporation shall provide written notice to the Shareholders on or
before July 25, 1997 as to which alternative set forth in the foregoing
sentence it has elected with respect to such uncollected Receivables. Any such
amount retained by FYI or the Surviving Corporation shall be in an allocation
that will not adversely affect the parties' treatment of this transaction as a
tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Proceeds from
Receivables collected after July 25, 1997 and for which the Surviving
Corporation has received payment under this Section 9.8 multiplied by a factor
of 6.0 shall be promptly and in any event within five (5) business days of
collection delivered by the Surviving Corporation to the Shareholders.

9.9 REGISTRATION OF FYI STOCK; 1933 ACT. (a) On or after July 25, 1997
with respect to 388,540 of the shares of FYI Stock to be received by the
Shareholders upon consummation of the Merger, upon written request of either
Shareholder FYI shall use its reasonable best efforts to file registration
statements under the 1933 Act covering the registration of such shares of FYI
Stock (such shares of FYI Stock are referred to herein as "RS Shares") to be
received by the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement for resale by the
Shareholders. FYI shall have no obligation to register the balance of the
shares of FYI Stock to be received by the Shareholders upon consummation of the
Merger. In connection with such registration statement, FYI shall:

(i) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective and keep such registration
statement effective for six (6) months (or such shorter period after
which FYI Stock may be sold by the Shareholders in accordance with the
requirements of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act); provided, however, that
FYI shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to
keep the registration statement effective during the applicable period
if FYI voluntarily takes any action that results in the Shareholders
not being able to sell the RS Shares during such period, unless such
action is required by law;

(ii) Use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") such
amendments and supplements to such

-38-
<PAGE> 46

registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
applicable provisions of the 1933 Act;

(iii) No less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to filing
such registration statement or prospectus contained therein or any
amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to each Shareholder copies of
all documents proposed to be filed to permit the reasonable and timely
review of statements contained in such documents pertaining to such
parties and thereafter furnish to the Shareholders such number of
copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement
thereto, such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
1933 Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the disposition of the RS Shares to be received by
them pursuant to this Agreement;

(iv) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify
the shares of FYI Stock covered by such registration statement under
such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall
be reasonably requested by the Shareholders, and to keep such
registration or qualification effective during the period such
registration statement is to be kept effective, provided that FYI
shall not be required to become subject to taxation, qualify to do
business or file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdictions;

(v) Use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the
authorization for quotation of the securities covered by such
registration statement on the Nasdaq National Market of the Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc.; and

(vi) Notify each Shareholder, at any time when the
Shareholders must suspend offers or sales of RS Shares under the
registration statement, either because the prospectus included in such
registration statement is required to be amended for any reason, such
as an amendment under the 1933 Act to provide current information, or
because the prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light
of the circumstances then existing. FYI shall use its reasonable best
efforts to enable the Shareholders to promptly recommence offers and
sales under the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing
and anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.9, each
Shareholder acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when FYI
must suspend the use of the prospectus included in such registration
statement until such time as an amendment to the registration
statement has been filed by FYI and declared effective by the SEC, or
until such time as FYI has filed an appropriate report with the SEC
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"). Each Shareholder hereby covenants that he will not offer or
sell any shares of FYI Stock pursuant to such prospectus during the
period commencing when FYI notifies the Shareholder of the suspension
of the use of such prospectus and the reason therefor, and ending when
FYI notifies the Shareholder in writing that he may thereafter effect
offers and sales pursuant to such prospectus.

-39-
<PAGE> 47

(b) It is a condition precedent to the obligations of FYI to
take any action pursuant to this Section 9.9 hereof with respect to the RS
Shares of any Shareholder that such Shareholder shall furnish to FYI such
information regarding himself, the FYI Stock held by him and the intended
method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the
registration of such Shareholder's RS Shares and be required to effect the
registration of such Shareholder's RS Shares and as may be required from time
to time to keep such registration current.

(c) Except as otherwise provided, all expenses incurred by or
on behalf of FYI in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to this Section 9.9 hereof, including without limitation all
registration, filing and qualification fees, the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the listing of the RS Shares to be registered on each security
exchange on which shares of Common Stock of FYI are then listed, printer's and
accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for FYI, shall be borne
by FYI. In no event shall FYI be obligated to bear underwriting, brokerage or
related fees, discounts or commissions or the fees or expenses of counsel or
advisors to the Shareholders.

(d) Each of FYI and the Shareholders shall agree to such
other reasonable and customary arrangements, undertakings and indemnifications
with respect to the registration of the RS Shares to be received by the
Shareholders pursuant to the Agreement as may be requested by any of them, but
shall not be obligated to enter into any underwriting arrangements. Such
indemnifications shall include FYI's indemnity of the Shareholders and their
brokers or dealers that may be deemed to be underwriters as reasonably
requested by the Shareholders and their brokers or dealers against liability,
including liability arising under the 1933 Act.

(e) FYI covenants that it will at all times use its
reasonable best efforts to timely file any reports required to be filed by it
under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and that it will take such other actions as
may be reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to sell the FYI Stock
without registration under applicable exemptions provided for under the 1933
Act including, without limitation, Rule 144.

9.10 ECONOMIC RISK; SOPHISTICATION.

Shareholder has not relied on any purchaser representative, or on the
Company or any other Shareholder, in connection with the acquisition
of shares of FYI Stock hereunder. The Shareholders (i) have such
knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial
matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an

will not sell or otherwise transfer such shares unless, in the opinion
of counsel who is satisfactory to the Company, the transfer can be
made without violating the registration provisions of the 1933 Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder, unless such sale or transfer is
under an effective registration statement, and (z) the certificate
representing such shares will also bear the following legend:

of the Code as a result of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant

unless a notice setting forth in reasonable detail the breach or other matter
which is asserted has been given to the Indemnifying Party (as defined below)
and, in addition, if such matter arises out of a suit, action, investigation,
proceeding or claim, such notice is given promptly, but in any event within
thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party (as defined below) is given notice
of the claim or the commencement of the suit, action, investigation or
proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, failure of the Indemnified
Party to give notice hereunder shall not release the Indemnifying Party from
its obligations under this Section 10, except to the extent the Indemnifying
Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. With respect to
FYI Losses, Environmental Costs, Employee Claims and the matters described in
the first sentence of Section 10.5, the Shareholders shall be the Indemnifying
Party and FYI and Newco and their respective directors, officers, employees,

10.7 RIGHT TO DEFEND. Upon receipt of notice of any suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding for which indemnification might be claimed
by an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend,
contest or otherwise protect against any such suit, action, investigation,
claim or proceeding at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party must
cooperate in any such defense or other action. The Indemnified Party shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in defense
thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the
Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or the
Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter. In the event the
Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect in a
timely manner against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or
proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation,
thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make
any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from
the Indemnifying Party including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof,
provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which
settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable
judgment, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. Failure to reject
such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed an acceptance of
such settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to
effect a settlement or compromise over the objection of the Indemnifying Party;
provided, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party is contesting such claim in good
faith or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense from the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party waives any right to indemnity.
therefor. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such matters, the
Indemnified Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party does not abandon
the defense thereof, be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in
connection with the defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of
investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party with the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Party.

10.8 COOPERATION. Each of FYI Newco, the Surviving Corporation, the
Company and the Shareholders, and each of their affiliates, successors and
assigns shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any suit, action,
investigation, proceeding or claim by a third party and, during normal business
hours, shall afford each other access to their books and records and employees
relating to such suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim and shall
furnish each other all such further information that they have the right and
power to furnish as may reasonably be necessary to defend such suit, action,
investigation, proceeding or claim, including, without limitation, reports,
studies, correspondence and other documentation relating to Environmental
Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission matters.

10.9 SATISFACTION OF CLAIMS. The Shareholders shall have the option of
paying any amounts owed thereby pursuant to Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 for
FYI Losses, Environmental Costs and Employee Claims with shares of FYI Stock
received pursuant to this Agreement and

-46-
<PAGE> 54

valued at the closing price per share on the Closing Date, in cash or in a
combination of FYI Stock and cash.

10.10 LIMITATIONS OF INDEMNIFICATION; PROPORTIONATE PAYMENTS. The
persons or entities indemnified pursuant to this Section 10 shall not assert
any claim for indemnification hereunder until such time as and solely to the
extent that the aggregate of all claims that such persons may have against the
Indemnifying Parties shall exceed $90,000 with respect to all claims (the
"Basket"), but upon reaching the amount of the Basket, from the first dollar of
all claims; provided, however, that to the extent that any amounts recoverable
by FYI and the Surviving Corporation as described in Section 9.8 hereof exceed
the amount of FYI Stock retained by FYI and the Surviving Corporation pursuant
to Section 3.1(a), any such excess shall not be subject to the Basket. Any
amounts paid to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 10 shall be paid in
FYI Stock, valued at the closing price per share on the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party
shall be obligated to defend and hold harmless an Indemnified Party with
respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder in excess of the aggregate
consideration set forth on Annex II; provided, however, that the foregoing
limitation shall not be applicable to any breach of the representations and
warranties contained in Section 5.3 hereof.

11. GENERAL

11.1 COOPERATION. The Company, the Shareholders, FYI and Newco shall
each deliver or cause to be delivered to the other on the Closing Date, and at
such other times and places as shall be reasonably agreed to, such additional

have the present officers, directors and employees thereof cooperate with FYI

of the applicable survival period.

We have acted as counsel to F.Y.I. Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation ("FYI"), and Mavricc Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Acquisition"), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") dated as of March 27,
1997 by and between FYI, Acquisition, MAVRICC Management Systems, Inc.
and the Shareholders named therein (the "Shareholders").

This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 7.4 of the
Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, unless expressly defined herein,
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

We have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such documents and corporate and public
records as we deemed to be necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter
expressed. With respect to such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures appearing on all documents presented to us as originals, and the
conformity to the originals of all documents presented to us as conformed or
reproduced copies. Where factual matters material to such opinion were not
independently established, we have relied upon certificates of appropriate
state and local officials, upon representations of executive officers and
employees and agents of FYI and Acquisition, and upon such other data as we
deemed to be appropriate under the circumstances. We also wish to advise you
that when in the following opinion we have made statements to our "knowledge"
we shall mean (with respect to matters of fact), that after an examination of
documents made available to us by FYI and Acquisition, and after inquiry of
officers of FYI and Acquisition, but without any judgment or litigation
searches or any other independent factual investigation, we have no reason to
believe that such statements are factually incorrect. Statements made to our
"knowledge" shall furthermore refer only to then current actual knowledge of
attorneys of our firm who have worked on matters for FYI and Acquisition.

<PAGE> 66

Based upon the foregoing and such consideration of matters of law as
we deemed to be relevant, and subject to the qualifications and assumptions set
forth herein, we are of the following opinion:

(i) FYI and Acquisition have each been duly organized and are
validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware;

(ii) The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by each of FYI and Acquisition, constitutes the valid and
binding agreement of each thereof and is enforceable against each
thereof in accordance with its terms;

(iii) Each share of FYI Stock to be issued to the
Shareholders has been duly and validly authorized and issued; upon
consummation of the transactions set forth in the Agreement, each of
such shares will be fully paid and nonassessable; and none of such
shares will have been issued in violation of the preemptive rights of
any stockholder of FYI;

(iv) Assuming the due authorization, execution, delivery and
filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of
Delaware, the Merger shall become effective under the laws of the
State of Delaware; assuming the due authorization, execution, delivery
and filing and endorsement of the Certificate of Merger/Consolidation
with the Department of Consumer and Industry Services, Corporation,
Securities and Land Development Bureau of the State of Michigan, the
Merger shall become effective under the laws of the State of Michigan;

(v) To our knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 5.15 to
the Agreement no notice to, consent, authorization, approval or order
of any court or Agency or of any other third party is required in
connection with the execution, delivery or consummation of the
Agreement by FYI or Acquisition, except for such notices, consents,
authorizations, approvals or orders as have already been made or
obtained; and

(vi) The execution of the Agreement and the performance by
FYI and Acquisition of their respective obligations thereunder will
not violate any of the terms or provisions of their respective
Certificates of Incorporation or By-laws or result in any breach of or
default under any lease, instrument, license, permit or any other
agreement to which they are a party, except where such violations,
breaches or defaults would not have a material adverse effect on FYI.

The opinion set forth in paragraph (ii) above is subject to the
following qualifications: (i) the enforceability of the obligations of FYI and
Acquisition under the Agreement are subject to (1) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors' rights, (2) the rights of the United States under the
Federal Tax Lien Act of 1966, as amended, and (3) applicable state and federal
laws, regulations, rulings or decisions that authorize the forfeiture of real,
personal, or other property to States or to the United States; (ii) the
availability of equitable remedies, including specific performance and
injunctive relief, is subject to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be

<PAGE> 67

brought; (iii) we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of
the Agreement by each of the other parties thereto other than FYI and
Acquisition; (iv) no opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of
provisions requiring indemnification for liabilities under the securities laws;
and (v) no opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of the provisions of
the Noncompetition Agreements or the Employment Agreement.

Insofar as our opinions expressed above pertain to matters of Michigan
law we have relied, without independent verification, on the opinion of Loomis,
Ewert, Parsley, Davis & Gotting. We have no reason to believe our reliance is
not justified. No opinion is expressed with respect to laws other than the laws
of the State of Texas, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and
the federal laws of the United States of America (other than federal laws
applicable to patents, copyrights and trademarks), except to the extent that we
have relied, as to matters of Michigan law, on the opinion of Loomis, Ewert,
Parsley, Davis & Gotting.

This opinion is solely for your benefit and may not be relied on by
any other person other than you or used for any other purpose without our prior
written consent. This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein, and no
opinion is to be implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly
stated. We undertake no obligation or responsibility to update or supplement
this opinion.

Very truly yours,

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

<PAGE> 69

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
(CRAIG F. MONCHER)

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into
the 27th day of March, 1997, by and among Mavricc Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), Craig F. Moncher ("Employee") and solely for
purposes of paragraph 15 hereof, F.Y.I. Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
("FYI"). This Agreement hereby supersedes any other employment agreements or
understandings, written or oral, between the Company, FYI and Employee.

R E C I T A L S

The following statements are true and correct:

As of the date of this Agreement, the Company is engaged primarily in
the administrative and securities recordkeeping services business.

Employee is employed hereunder by the Company in a confidential
relationship wherein Employee, in the course of his employment with the
Company, has and will continue to become familiar with and aware of information
as to the Company's and FYI's customers, specific manner of doing business,
including the processes, techniques and trade secrets utilized by the Company
and FYI, and future plans with respect thereto, all of which has been and will
be established and maintained at great expense to the Company and FYI; this
information is a trade secret and constitutes the valuable goodwill of the
Company and FYI.

Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, terms, covenants
and conditions set forth herein and the performance of each, it is hereby
agreed as follows:

A G R E E M E N T S

1. Employment and Duties.

(a) The Company hereby employs Employee as President. As such,
Employee shall have responsibilities, duties and authority reasonably accorded
to and expected of a President and will report directly to the Board of
Directors (the "Board") of the Company. Employee hereby accepts this employment
upon the terms and conditions herein contained and agrees to devote his working
time, attention and efforts to promote and further the business of the Company.

(b) Employee shall not, during the term of his employment hereunder,
be engaged in any other business activity pursued for gain, profit or other
pecuniary advantage except to the extent that such activity does not interfere
with Employee's duties and responsibilities hereunder. The foregoing
limitations shall not be construed as prohibiting Employee from making personal
investments in such form or manner as will neither require his services in the
operation or affairs of the companies or enterprises in which such investments
are made.

<PAGE> 70

2. Compensation. For all services rendered by Employee, the
Company shall compensate Employee as follows:

(a) Base Salary; Annual Bonus. The base salary payable to Employee
shall be $112,500 for the balance of the 1997 calendar year and $150,000 per
year thereafter, payable on a regular basis in accordance with the Company's
standard payroll procedures but not less than monthly.

(b) Incentive Bonus Plan. For 1997 and subsequent years, it is the
Company's intent to develop a written Incentive Bonus Plan setting forth the
criteria under which Employee and other officers and key employees will be
eligible to receive year-end bonus awards. Employee shall be eligible for a
bonus opportunity of up to $75,000 per annum in accordance with this Incentive
Bonus Plan, pro-rated for any year in which Employee is employed for less than
the full year. The award of any bonus shall be based on the total performance
of the Company and shall be payable in various increments based on the
performance of the Company versus targeted goals. The incremental payments and
the Company's targeted performance shall be determined by the Board of
Directors or the compensation committee thereof.

(c) Other Compensation. Employee shall be entitled to receive
additional benefits and compensation from the Company in such form and to such
extent as specified below:

(i) Coverage for Employee under health, hospitalization,
disability, dental and other insurance plans that the Company may have
in effect from time to time.

(ii) Reimbursement for all business travel and other
out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in the
performance of his services pursuant to this Agreement. All
reimbursable expenses shall be appropriately documented in reasonable
detail by Employee upon submission of any request for reimbursement,
and in a format and manner consistent with the Company's expense
reporting policy.

(iii) Three (3) weeks paid vacation for each year during the
period of employment or such greater amount as may be afforded
officers and key employees generally under the Company's policies in
effect from time to time (pro-rated for any year in which Employee is
employed for less than the full year).

3. Place of Performance.

(a) Employee understands that he may be requested by the Board or FYI
to relocate from his present residence to another geographic location in order
to more efficiently carry out his duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement or as part of a promotion or other increase in duties and
responsibilities. In such event, if Employee agrees to relocate, the Company
will pay all relocation costs to move Employee, his immediate family and their
personal property and effects. Such costs may include, by way of example, but
are not limited to, pre-move visits to

- 2 -
<PAGE> 71

search for a new residence, investigate schools or for other purposes;
temporary lodging and living costs prior to moving into a new permanent
residence; duplicate home carrying costs; all closing costs on the sale of
Employee's present residence and on the purchase of a comparable residence in
the new location; and added income taxes that Employee may incur if any
relocation costs are not deductible for tax purposes. The general intent of the
foregoing is that Employee shall not personally bear any out-of-pocket cost as
a result of the relocation, with an understanding that Employee will use his
best efforts to incur only those costs which are reasonable and necessary to
effect a smooth, efficient and orderly relocation with minimal disruption to
the business affairs of the Company and the personal life of Employee and his
family.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, if Employee is requested by the Board
to relocate and Employee refuses, such refusal shall not constitute "good
cause" for termination of this Agreement under the terms of paragraph 4(c).

4. Term; Termination; Rights on Termination. The term of this
Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and continue for three (3) years (the
"Term"). This Agreement and Employee's employment may be terminated in any one
of the following ways:

(a) Death. The death of Employee shall immediately terminate the
Agreement with no severance compensation due to Employee's estate.

(b) Disability. The Company will make efforts to reasonably
accommodate Employee as required by applicable state and federal disability
laws. However, the parties irrebutably presume that, given Employee's position,
it would be an undue hardship to the Company if Employee is absent for more
than four (4) consecutive months. If, as a result of incapacity due to physical
or mental illness or injury, Employee shall have been absent from his full-time
duties hereunder for four (4) consecutive months, then thirty (30) days after
receiving written notice (which notice may occur before or after the end of
such four (4) month period, but which shall not be effective earlier than the
last day of such four (4) month period), the Company may terminate Employee's
employment hereunder provided Employee is unable to resume his full-time duties
at the conclusion of such notice period. Also, Employee may terminate his
employment hereunder if his health should become impaired to an extent that
makes the continued performance of his duties hereunder hazardous to his
physical or mental health or his life, provided that Employee shall have
furnished the Company with a written statement from a qualified doctor to such
effect and provided, further, that, at the Company's request made within thirty
(30) days of the date of such written statement, Employee shall submit to an
examination by a doctor selected by the Company who is reasonably acceptable to
Employee or Employee's doctor and such doctor shall have concurred in the
conclusion of Employee's doctor. In the event this Agreement is terminated as a
result of Employee's disability, Employee shall receive from the Company, in a
lump-sum payment due within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination,
the base salary at the rate then in effect for whatever time period is
remaining under the Term of this Agreement or for one (1) year, whichever
amount is lesser.

- 3 -
<PAGE> 72

(c) Good Cause. The Company may terminate the Agreement ten (10) days
after written notice to Employee for good cause, which shall be: (i) Employee's
material and irreparable breach of this Agreement; (ii) Employee's gross
negligence in the performance or intentional nonperformance (continuing for ten
(10) days after receipt of the written notice) of any of Employee's material
duties and responsibilities hereunder; (iii) Employee's dishonesty, fraud or
misconduct with respect to the business or affairs of the Company or FYI that
materially and adversely affects the operations or reputation of the Company or
FYI; (iv) Employee's conviction of a felony crime; or (v) chronic alcohol abuse
or illegal drug abuse by Employee resulting in malfeasance or neglect of
Employee's material duties or responsibilities hereunder. In the event of a
termination for good cause, as enumerated above, Employee shall have no right
to any severance compensation.

(d) Without Cause. At any time after the commencement of employment,
the Company may, without cause, terminate this Agreement and Employee's
employment, effective thirty (30) days after written notice is provided to
Employee. Employee may only be terminated without cause by the Company during
the Term hereof if such termination is approved by at least sixty-six percent
(66%) of the members of the Board of Directors of FYI. Should Employee be
terminated by the Company without cause, Employee shall receive from the
Company, in a lump-sum payment due on the effective date of termination, the
base salary at the rate then in effect for whatever time period is remaining
under the Term of this Agreement or for one (1) year, whichever amount is
lesser.

(e) Termination by Employee for Good Reason. Employee may terminate
his employment hereunder for "Good Reason." As used herein, "Good Reason" shall
mean the continuance of any of the following after fifteen (15) days' prior
written notice by Employee to the Company, specifying the basis for such
Employee's having Good Reason to terminate this Agreement:

(i) The assignment to Employee of any duties materially and
adversely inconsistent with Employee's position as specified in
paragraph 1 hereof (or such other position to which he may be
promoted), including status, offices, responsibilities or persons to
whom Employee reports as contemplated under paragraph 1 of this
Agreement, or any other action by the Company that results in a
material and adverse change in such position, status, offices, titles
or responsibilities;

(ii) Employee's removal from, or failure to be reappointed or
reelected to, Employee's position under this Agreement, except as
contemplated by paragraphs 4(a), (b) and (c); or

(iii) Any other material breach of this Agreement by the
Company, including the failure to pay Employee on a timely basis the
amounts to which he is entitled under this Agreement.

- 4 -
<PAGE> 73

In the event of any dispute with respect to the termination by the Employee for
Good Reason, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of
paragraph 14 below. In the event that it is determined that Good Reason did
exist, the Company shall pay all amounts and damages to which Employee may be
entitled as a result of such breach, including interest thereon and all
reasonable legal fees and expenses and other costs incurred by Employee to
enforce his rights hereunder. Should Employee terminate his employment for Good
Reason, Employee shall receive from the Company, in a lump-sum payment due on
the effective date of termination, the base salary at the rate then in effect
for whatever time period is remaining under the Term of this Agreement or for
one (1) year, whichever amount is lesser.

(f) Termination by Employee Without Cause. If Employee resigns or
otherwise terminates his employment without Good Reason pursuant to paragraph
4(e), Employee shall receive no severance compensation.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason provided in clauses (a)
through (f) above, Employee shall be entitled to receive all compensation
earned and all benefits and reimbursements vested or due through the effective
date of termination. Additional compensation subsequent to termination, if any,
will be due and payable to Employee only to the extent and in the manner
expressly provided above or in paragraph 14. All other rights and obligations
of FYI, the Company and Employee under this Agreement shall cease as of the
effective date of termination, except that the Company's obligations under
paragraph 8 herein and Employee's obligations under paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
herein shall survive such termination in accordance with their terms.

5. Return of Company Property. All records, designs, patents, business
plans, financial statements, manuals, memoranda, lists and other property
delivered to or compiled by Employee by or on behalf of the Company, FYI or
their representatives, vendors or customers which pertain to the business of
the Company or FYI shall be and remain the property of the Company or FYI, as
the case may be, and be subject at all times to their discretion and control.
Likewise, all correspondence, reports, records, charts, advertising materials
and other similar data pertaining to the business, activities or future plans
of the Company or FYI that is collected by Employee shall be delivered promptly
to the Company without request by it upon termination of Employee's employment.

6. Inventions. Employee shall disclose promptly to the Company and FYI
any and all significant conceptions and ideas for inventions, improvements and
valuable discoveries, whether patentable or not, which are conceived or made by
Employee, solely or jointly with another, during the period of employment or
within one (1) year thereafter, and which are directly related to the business
or activities of the Company or FYI and that Employee conceives as a result of
his employment by the Company. Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign all
his interests therein to the Company or its nominee. Whenever requested to do
so by the Company, Employee shall execute any and all applications, assignments
or other instruments that the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and
obtain letters patent of the United States or any foreign country or to
otherwise protect the Company's interest therein.

- 5 -
<PAGE> 74

7. Trade Secrets. Employee agrees that he will not, during or after
the term of this Agreement with the Company, disclose the specific terms of the
Company's or FYI's relationships or agreements with their respective
significant vendors or customers or any other significant and material trade
secret of the Company or FYI, whether in existence or proposed, to any person,
firm, partnership, corporation or business for any reason or purpose
whatsoever.

8. Indemnification. In the event Employee is made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by the Company
against Employee), by reason of the fact that he is or was performing services
under this Agreement, then the Company shall indemnify Employee against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by Employee in connection
therewith. In the event that both Employee and the Company are made a party to
the same third-party action, complaint, suit or proceeding, the Company agrees
to engage competent legal representation, and Employee agrees to use the same
representation, provided that if counsel selected by the Company shall have a
conflict of interest that prevents such counsel from representing Employee,
Employee may engage separate counsel and the Company shall pay all attorneys'
fees of such separate counsel. Further, while Employee is expected at all times
to use his best efforts to faithfully discharge his duties under this
Agreement, Employee shall not be held liable to the Company or FYI for errors
or omissions made in good faith where Employee has not exhibited gross
negligence, willful and wanton negligence and misconduct or performed criminal
and fraudulent acts which materially damage the business of the Company.

9. No Prior Agreements. Employee hereby represents and warrants to the
Company that the execution of this Agreement by Employee and his employment by
the Company and the performance of his duties hereunder will not violate or be
a breach of any agreement with a former employer, client or any other person or
entity. Further, Employee agrees to indemnify the Company for any claim,
including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses of investigation,
by any such third party that such third party may now have or may hereafter
come to have against the Company based upon or arising out of any
non-competition agreement, invention or secrecy agreement between Employee and
such third party which was in existence as of the date of this Agreement.

10. Assignment; Binding Effect. Employee understands that he has been
selected for employment by the Company on the basis of his personal
qualifications, experience and skills. Employee agrees, therefore, he cannot
assign all or any portion of his performance under this Agreement. Subject to
the preceding, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns.

Agreement, and it cannot be varied, contradicted or supplemented by evidence of
any prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements. This Agreement may not
be later modified except by a further writing signed by a duly authorized
officer of the Company and Employee, and no term of this Agreement may be
waived except by writing signed by the party waiving the benefit of such term.

given in writing addressed as follows:

13. Severability; Headings. If any portion of this Agreement is held

and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

<PAGE> 93

1. Disclosure of Information. Subject to Section 3(c), Promisor agrees
that for a period of five (5) years after the date hereof, without the prior
written consent of the Company, Promisor shall not, directly or indirectly,
through any form of ownership, in any individual or representative or
affiliated capacity whatsoever, except as may be required by law, reveal,
divulge, disclose or communicate to any person, firm, association, corporation
or other entity in any manner whatsoever information of any kind, nature or
description concerning: (i) the names of any prior or present suppliers or
customers of the Company, (ii) the prices for which the Company obtains or has
obtained products or services, (iii) the names of the personnel of the Company,
(iv) the manner of operation of the Company, (v) the plans, trade secrets, or
other data of any kind, nature or description, whether tangible or intangible,
of the Company, or (vi) any other financial, statistical or other information
that the Company designates or treats as confidential or proprietary. The
agreements set forth herein shall not apply to any information that at the time
of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known by the public
(other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by Promisor in
violation of this Agreement), the disclosure of which is required by law,
regulation, order, decree or process or is otherwise approved by the Company or
FYI. Without regard to whether any or all of the foregoing matters would be
deemed confidential, material or important, the parties hereto stipulate that
as between them, the same are important, material and confidential and gravely
affect the effective and successful conduct of the Business and its goodwill.

2. Noncompetition. Subject to Section 3(c), Promisor agrees that for a
period of five (5) years following the date hereof, Promisor shall not:

(i) Call upon, solicit, divert, take away or attempt to call
upon, solicit, divert or take away any past, existing or potential
customers, suppliers, businesses, or accounts of the Business in
connection with any business substantially similar to the Business in
the Territory;

(ii) Hire, attempt to hire, contact or solicit with respect
to hiring for Promisor or on behalf of any other person any present or
future employee of the Company in the Business;

(iii) Engage in, or give any advice to any person, firm,
partnership, association, venture, corporation or other entity engaged
in, a business substantially similar to the Business in the Territory;

(iv) Lend credit, money or reputation for the purpose of
establishing or operating a business substantially similar to the
Business in the Territory;

(v) Do any act that Promisor knew or reasonably should have
known would be reasonably likely to materially injure the Company;

-2-
<PAGE> 94

(vi) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
provisions, conduct a business substantially similar to the Business
under the name "Mavricc Management Systems" or any other trade names,
trademarks or service marks heretofore used by Promisor in the
Territory other than as contemplated in the Reorganization Agreement.

The covenants in subsections (i) through (vi) are intended to restrict
Promisor from competing in the Territory in any manner with the Company or the
Business in the activities that have heretofore been carried on by the Company.
The obligations set forth in subsections (i) through (vi) above shall apply to
actions by Promisor, through any form of ownership, and whether as principal,
officer, director, agent, employee, employer, consultant, shareholder or holder
of any equity security (beneficially or as trustee of any trust), lender,
partner, joint venturer or in any other individual or representative or
affiliated capacity whatsoever. None of the foregoing shall prevent Promisor
from being the holder of up to 5.0% in the aggregate of any class of securities
of any corporation engaged in the activities described in subsections (i)
through (vi) above, provided that such securities are listed on a national
securities exchange or reported on Nasdaq.

3. Enforcement of Covenants.

(a) Promisor acknowledges that a violation or
attempted violation of any of the covenants and agreements in Sections
1 and 2 above will cause such damage to the Company as will be
irreparable, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain
and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and
accordingly, Promisor agrees that the Company shall be entitled as a
matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent
jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of
such covenants and agreements by Promisor, or the affiliates, partners
or agents of such Promisor, as well as to recover from Promisor any
and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by the Company in
obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees. Promisor agrees that no bond or other
security shall be required in connection with such injunction.
Promisor further agrees that the five (5) year period of restriction
set forth in Sections 1 and 2 above shall be tolled during any period
of violation thereof by Promisor. Any exercise by the Company of its
rights pursuant to this Section 3 shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled. Each party
represents and warrants that it has been represented by counsel in the
negotiation and execution of this Agreement, including without
limitation the provisions set forth above in this Section 3(a)
concerning the recovery of attorneys' fees.

(b) Promisor understands and acknowledges that the
Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the
scope of any covenants set forth in Sections 1 and 2, or any portion
thereof, without Promisor's consent, effective immediately upon
receipt by Promisor of written notice thereof; and Promisor agrees
that

-3-
<PAGE> 95

Promisor shall comply forthwith with any covenant as so modified,
which shall be fully enforceable as so revised in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

(c) In the event that Promisor's Employment
Agreement with Acquisition dated of even date herewith is terminated
without cause by Acquisition or with good reason by Promisor (as
described in such Employment Agreement), the term of Promisor's
covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 1 and 2 hereof shall be
reduced to one (1) year from the effective date of such termination.

4. Intellectual Property. Promisor recognizes and agrees that, on and
after the date hereof, Promisor will not have the right to use for Promisor's
own account any of the service marks, trademarks, trade names, licenses,
procedures, processes, labels, trade secrets or customer lists of the Company.

5. Validity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if it should
ever be held that any provision contained herein does not contain reasonable
limitations as to time, geographical area or scope of activity to be
restrained, then the court so holding shall at the request of the Company
reform such provisions to the extent necessary to cause them to contain
reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to
be restrained and to give the maximum permissible effect to the intentions of
the parties as set forth herein; and the court shall enforce such provisions as
so reformed. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision hereof is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining provisions
hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the
illegal, invalid or enforceable provision or by its severance here from.
Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there
shall be added automatically by the Company as a part hereof a provision as
similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, and the parties hereby agree to
such provision.

6. Notice. Any notice, request, instruction, document or other
communication to be given hereunder by any party hereto to any other party
hereto shall be in writing and validly given if (i) delivered personally, (ii)
sent by telecopy with electronic confirmation of receipt, (iii) delivered by

("Affiliate").

RECITALS

I. The Company, FYI, Newco, Affiliate and certain other parties have entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement")
and the Company and Newco have entered or will enter into a Plan of Merger,
which agreements (collectively, the "Merger Agreements") provide for the merger
(the "Merger") of Newco with and into the Company, with the Company as the
surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"). Pursuant to the Merger,
all outstanding capital stock of the Company will be converted into the common
stock, $.01 par value of FYI (the "FYI Stock").

A. Affiliate may, as a result of the Merger, receive shares of FYI
Stock (the "Shares") in exchange for shares owned by Affiliate of the common
stock, $1.00 par value, of the Company (the "Company Stock").

B. Affiliate understands that, because the Merger will be accounted
for using the "pooling of interests" method and Affiliate may be deemed, as of
the date hereof, to be an "affiliate" of the Company, as such term is defined
for purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 of the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Shares
beneficially owned by Affiliate may only be disposed of in conformity with the
limitations described herein.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Retain Shares. (a) Affiliate agrees not to transfer,
sell, or otherwise dispose of or direct or cause the sale, transfer or other
disposition of, or reduce Affiliate's risk relative to, any shares of the
Company Stock (except for the conversion of the Company Stock into FYI Stock in
the Merger) or Shares held by Affiliate or on Affiliate's behalf, whether owned
on the date hereof or after acquired, within the thirty (30) days prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement).

(b) Affiliate further agrees not to transfer, sell or
otherwise dispose of, or direct or cause the sale, transfer or other
disposition of, or reduce Affiliate's risk relative to, any Shares held by
Affiliate or on Affiliate's behalf or received by Affiliate or on Affiliate's
behalf in or as a result of the Merger or otherwise, until after the date (the
"Expiration Date") FYI shall have publicly released a report in the form of a
quarterly earnings report, registration statement filed with the Commission, a
report filed with the Commission on Form 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K or any

<PAGE> 110

other public filing, statement or public announcement that includes the
combined financial results (including combined sales and net income) of FYI and
the Company for a period of at least thirty (30) days of combined operations of
FYI and the Company following the Effective Time of the Merger.

2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Affiliate. Affiliate
represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) Affiliate has full power and authority to execute this
Agreement, to make the representations, warranties and covenants
herein contained and to perform Affiliate's obligations hereunder.

(b) Affiliate will not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose
of, or make any offer or agreement relating to any of the foregoing
with respect to, any Shares, except: (i) in a transaction permitted
pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act; (ii) in a transaction
that is otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act; or (iii) pursuant to a registration statement under
the Securities Act.

3. Rules 144 and 145. From and after the Effective Time of the Merger
and for so long as is necessary in order to permit Affiliate to sell the Shares
pursuant to Rule 145 and, to the extent applicable, Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, FYI will use reasonable efforts to file on a timely basis all
reports required to be filed by it pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, as the same shall
be in effect at the time, referred to in paragraph (c) of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, in order to permit Affiliate to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the Shares held by it pursuant to the terms and conditions of Rule
145 and the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

4. Limited Resales. FYI acknowledges that the provisions of Section
2(b) of this Agreement will be satisfied as to any sale by the undersigned of
the Shares pursuant to Rule 145(b) under the Securities Act, upon receipt of a
broker's letter and a letter from the undersigned with respect to that sale
stating that the applicable requirements of Rule 145(d)(1) have been met or a
letter from the undersigned stating that the requirements of Rule 145(d)(1) are
inapplicable by virtue of Rule 145(d)(2) or Rule 145(d)(3); provided, however,
that FYI has no reasonable basis to believe that such sales were not made in
compliance with such provisions of Rule 135(d) and subject to any changes in
Rule 145 after the date of this Agreement.

5. Legends. Affiliate also understands and agrees that stop transfer
instructions will be given to FYI's transfer agent with respect to certificates
evidencing the Shares and that there will be placed on the certificate
evidencing the Shares legends stating in substance:

-2-
<PAGE> 111

UNLESS SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER, IS EXEMPT FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS.

and

After the Expiration Date, FYI agrees to deliver instructions to its transfer
agent to remove the above legends, and replace such legends with the following
legend:

delivery of instructions to its transfer agent to remove such legend upon (i)
the transfer of the Shares represented by such certificate pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Rule 145 under the Securities Act (including, without
limitation, paragraph (d) thereof), (ii) the expiration of the restrictive
period set forth in Rule 145(d), or (iii) the delivery by Affiliate to FYI of a
copy of a letter from the Staff of the Commission, or an opinion of counsel in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FYI, to the effect that such
legend is not required for purposes of the Securities Act.

6. Miscellaneous.

more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

benefit of and be binding upon and enforceable against the parties and
their successors and assigns, including administrators, executors,
representatives, heirs, legatees and devisees of Affiliate and

such notice from a taxing authority. Upon receipt of such notice from such
Shareholder, the Surviving Corporation may request that such Shareholder
contest such Proposed Adjustment and such Shareholder shall permit the

If the Surviving Corporation requests that any Proposed Adjustment be
contested, then such Shareholder shall, at the Surviving Corporation's expense,
contest the Proposed Adjustment or at the option of the Surviving Corporation
permit the Surviving Corporation to contest the Proposed Adjustment (including
pursuing all administrative and judicial appeals and processes). The Surviving
Corporation shall pay to such Shareholder all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees) that such Shareholder

Surviving Corporation has reason to believe may affect such Shareholder's tax
returns during the S Corporation Period, the Surviving Corporation shall inform
such Shareholder in writing, of the audit promptly after receipt of such
notice. If the Surviving Corporation receives notice from a taxing authority
of any proposed adjustment for which such Shareholder may be required to
indemnify the Surviving Corporation hereunder (a "Surviving Corporation
Proposed Adjustment"), the Surviving Corporation shall give notice to the
Shareholders of the Surviving Corporation Proposed Adjustment promptly after
receipt of such notice from a taxing authority. Upon receipt of such notice
from the Surviving Corporation, the Shareholders may, by in turn giving prompt
written notice to the Surviving Corporation, request that the Surviving
Corporation contest such Surviving Corporation Proposed Adjustment. If such
Shareholder requests that any Surviving Corporation Proposed Adjustment be

of tax returns, conduct of audits, and proceedings in courts), the decision of
the party (the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, or the Shareholders, on
the other hand) who will economically benefit from or be burdened by the course
of action (or in the case both parties benefit and/or are burdened, the
decision of the party with the greatest benefit or burden) shall control.

receivable of the Company as of the Effective Date (the "Receivables") will be
collected by the Surviving Corporation in the aggregate full face amount
thereof no later than July 25, 1997. If the Surviving Corporation shall fail
to collect the aggregate full face amount of the Receivables set forth in the
Company's Financial Statements by July 25, 1997, then (i) the Shareholders may
acquire the uncollected Receivables plus any unpaid interest accrued thereon by
payment to the Surviving Corporation of an amount in cash equal to such
uncollected Receivables and interest multiplied by a factor of 6.0 on or before
July 25, 1997 or (ii) FYI may retain an amount of FYI Stock equal to the
product of the sum of all such uncollected Receivables plus any unpaid interest
accrued thereon multiplied by a factor of 6.0 from the FYI Stock retained by
FYI as provided for in Section 3.1(a) hereof, and if the amount of FYI Stock
retained by FYI pursuant to Section 3.1(a) hereof is not sufficient to
compensate the Surviving Corporation for such uncollected Receivables (based
upon the then-fair market value of such shares of FYI Stock as determined by
the closing price for such shares on the Nasdaq National Market on July 25,
1997), the Surviving Corporation may seek indemnification against the
Shareholders for such shortfall in accordance with Section 10 hereof. The
Surviving Corporation shall provide written notice to the Shareholders on or
before July 25, 1997 as to which alternative set forth in the foregoing
sentence it has elected with respect to such uncollected Receivables. Any such
amount retained by FYI or the Surviving Corporation shall be in an allocation
that will not adversely affect the parties' treatment of this transaction as a
tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Proceeds from
Receivables collected after July 25, 1997 and for which the Surviving
Corporation has received payment under this Section 9.7 multiplied by a factor
of 6.0 shall be promptly and in any event within five (5) business days of
collection delivered by the Surviving Corporation to the Shareholders.

received by the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement for resale by the

-38-
<PAGE> 46
(vi) Notify each Shareholder, at any time when the
Shareholders must suspend offers or sales of RS Shares under the
registration statement, either because the prospectus included in such
registration statement is required to be amended for any reason, such
as an amendment under the 1933 Act to provide current information, or
because the prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light
of the circumstances then existing. FYI shall use its reasonable best
efforts to enable the Shareholders to promptly recommence offers and
sales under the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing
and anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.8, each
Shareholder acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when FYI
must suspend the use of the prospectus included in such registration
statement until such time as an amendment to the registration
statement has been filed by FYI and declared effective by the SEC, or
until such time as FYI has filed an appropriate report with the SEC
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"). Each Shareholder hereby covenants that he will not offer or
sell any shares of FYI Stock pursuant to such prospectus during the
period commencing when FYI notifies the Shareholder of the suspension
of the use of such prospectus and the reason therefor, and ending when
FYI notifies the Shareholder in writing that he may thereafter effect
offers and sales pursuant to such prospectus.

(b) It is a condition precedent to the obligations of FYI
to take any action pursuant to this Section 9.8 hereof with respect to the RS
Shares of any Shareholder that such Shareholder shall furnish to FYI such
information regarding himself, the FYI Stock held by him and the intended
method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the
registration of such Shareholder's RS Shares and be required to effect the
registration of such Shareholder's RS Shares and as may be required from time
to time to keep such registration current.

(c) Except as otherwise provided, all expenses incurred
by or on behalf of FYI in connection with registrations, filings or

shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Surviving Corporation from and
against all Tax liabilities of the Company incurred or accrued prior to the
Effective Date and the liability of the Company or the Surviving Corporation

of the Code as a result of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant
of the Company or a Shareholder. FYI and the Surviving Corporation shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders from and against all Tax
liabilities of the Company and/or the Surviving Corporation incurred or accrued
on or after the Effective Date and the liability of the Shareholders, the
Company and the Surviving Corporation with respect to all Taxes, resulting from
any final determination (or settlement) that the Merger of Newco into the

Company and/or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(A) and
Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code as a result of any breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant by FYI or Newco.

-44-
<PAGE> 52
10.6 NOTICE OF LOSS. Except to the extent set forth in the next
sentence, a party to the Agreement will not have any liability under the
indemnity provisions of this Agreement with respect to a particular matter
unless a notice setting forth in reasonable detail the breach or other matter
which is asserted has been given to the Indemnifying Party (as defined below)
and, in addition, if such matter arises out of a suit, action, investigation,
proceeding or claim, such notice is given promptly, but in any event within
thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party (as defined below) is given notice
of the claim or the commencement of the suit, action, investigation or
proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, failure of the Indemnified
Party to give notice hereunder shall not release the Indemnifying Party from
its obligations under this Section 10, except to the extent the Indemnifying
Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. With respect to
FYI Losses, Environmental Costs, Employee Claims and the matters described in
the first sentence of Section 10.5, the Shareholders shall be the Indemnifying
Party and FYI and Newco and their respective directors, officers, employees,
representatives, agents and attorneys shall be the Indemnified Party. With
respect to Shareholder Losses and the matters described in the second sentence
of Section 10.5, FYI and Newco shall be the Indemnifying Party and the
Shareholders and their respective agents and attorneys shall be the Indemnified
Party.

10.7 RIGHT TO DEFEND. Upon receipt of notice of any suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding for which indemnification might be claimed
by an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend,
contest or otherwise protect against any such suit, action, investigation,
claim or proceeding at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party must
cooperate in any such defense or other action. The Indemnified Party shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in
defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has
relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular
matter or the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter. In the
event the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect
in a timely manner against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or
proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation,
thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make
any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from
the Indemnifying Party including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof,
provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which
settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable
judgment, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. Failure to reject
such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed an acceptance of
such settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to
effect a settlement or compromise over the objection of the Indemnifying Party;
provided, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party is contesting such claim in good
faith or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense from the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party waives any right to indemnity.
therefor. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such matters,
the Indemnified Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party does not
abandon the defense thereof, be entitled to recover from the

-45-
<PAGE> 53
Indemnifying Party any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than the
reasonable costs of investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party with the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

10.8 COOPERATION. Each of FYI Newco, the Surviving Corporation,
the Company and the Shareholders, and each of their affiliates, successors and
assigns shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any suit, action,
investigation, proceeding or claim by a third party and, during normal business
hours, shall afford each other access to their books and records and employees
relating to such suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim and shall
furnish each other all such further information that they have the right and
power to furnish as may reasonably be necessary to defend such suit, action,
investigation, proceeding or claim, including, without limitation, reports,
studies, correspondence and other documentation relating to Environmental
Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission matters.

10.9 SATISFACTION OF CLAIMS. The Shareholders shall have the
option of paying any amounts owed thereby pursuant to Sections 10.1, 10.2 and
10.3 for FYI Losses, Environmental Costs and Employee Claims with shares of FYI
Stock received pursuant to this Agreement and valued at the closing price per
share on the Closing Date, in cash or in a combination of FYI Stock and cash.

10.10 LIMITATIONS OF INDEMNIFICATION; PROPORTIONATE PAYMENTS. The
persons or entities indemnified pursuant to this Section 10 shall not assert
any claim for indemnification hereunder until such time as and solely to the
extent that the aggregate of all claims that such persons may have against the
Indemnifying Parties shall exceed $10,000 with respect to all claims (the
"Basket"), but upon reaching the amount of the Basket, from the first dollar of
all claims; provided, however, that to the extent that any amounts recoverable
by FYI and the Surviving Corporation as described in Section 9.7 hereof exceed
the amount of FYI Stock retained by FYI and the Surviving Corporation pursuant
to Section 3.1(a), any such excess shall not be subject to the Basket. Any
amounts paid to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 10 shall be paid in
FYI Stock, valued at the closing price per share on the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party
shall be obligated to defend and hold harmless an Indemnified Party with
respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder in excess of the aggregate
consideration set forth on Annex II; provided, however, that the foregoing
limitation shall not be applicable to any breach of the representations and
warranties contained in Section 5.3 hereof.

furnishing information, evidence, testimony and other assistance in connection

We have acted as counsel to F.Y.I. Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation ("FYI"), and MMS Escrow Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Acquisition"), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") dated as of March 27,
1997 by and between FYI, Acquisition, MMS Escrow and Transfer Agency, Inc. and
the Shareholders named therein (the "Shareholders").

We have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such documents and corporate and public
records as we deemed to be necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter
expressed. With respect to such examination, we have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures appearing on all documents presented to us as originals, and
the conformity to the originals of all documents presented to us as conformed
or reproduced copies. Where factual matters material to such opinion were not
independently established, we have relied upon certificates of appropriate
state and local officials, upon representations of executive officers and
employees and agents of FYI and Acquisition, and upon such other data as we
deemed to be appropriate under the circumstances. We also wish to advise you
that when in the following opinion we have made statements to our "knowledge"
we shall mean (with respect to matters of fact), that after an examination of
documents made available to us by FYI and Acquisition, and after inquiry of
officers of FYI and Acquisition, but without any judgment or litigation
searches or any other independent factual investigation, we have no reason to
believe that such statements are factually incorrect. Statements made to our
"knowledge" shall furthermore refer only to then current actual knowledge of
attorneys of our firm who have worked on matters for FYI and Acquisition.

<PAGE> 65
Based upon the foregoing and such consideration of matters of law as
we deemed to be relevant, and subject to the qualifications and assumptions set
forth herein, we are of the following opinion:

(i) FYI and Acquisition have each been duly organized and
are validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware;

(iv) Assuming the due authorization, execution, delivery
and filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of
Delaware, the Merger shall become effective under the laws of the
State of Delaware; assuming the due authorization, execution, delivery
and filing and endorsement of the Certificate of Merger/Consolidation
with the Department of Consumer and Industry Services, Corporation,
Securities and Land Development Bureau of the State of Michigan, the
Merger shall become effective under the laws of the State of Michigan;

(v) To our knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule
5.15 to the Agreement no notice to, consent, authorization, approval
or order of any court or Agency or of any other third party is
required in connection with the execution, delivery or consummation of
the Agreement by FYI or Acquisition, except for such notices,
consents, authorizations, approvals or orders as have already been
made or obtained; and

<PAGE> 66
before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; (iii) we have assumed the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreement by each of the other
parties thereto other than FYI and Acquisition; (iv) no opinion is expressed as
to the enforceability of provisions requiring indemnification for liabilities
under the securities laws; and (v) no opinion is expressed as to the
enforceability of the provisions of the Noncompetition Agreements or the
Employment Agreement.

Insofar as our opinions expressed above pertain to matters of Michigan
law we have relied, without independent verification, on the opinion of Loomis,
Ewert, Parsley, Davis and Gotting. We have no reason to believe our reliance
is not justified. No opinion is expressed with respect to laws other than the
laws of the State of Texas, the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America (other than
federal laws applicable to patents, copyrights and trademarks), except to the
extent that we have relied, as to matters of Michigan law, on the opinion of
Loomis, Ewert, Parsley, Davis and Gotting.

Very truly yours,

THIS SHAREHOLDER NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") made and

("Promisor").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as

WHEREAS, the Reorganization Agreement provides, as a condition to the
closing of the transactions thereunder, that Promisor shall execute and deliver
this Agreement;

<PAGE> 73
and upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the
parties do hereby agree as follows:

1. Disclosure of Information. Subject to Section 3(c), Promisor
agrees that for a period of five (5) years after the date hereof, without the
prior written consent of the Company, Promisor shall not, directly or
indirectly, through any form of ownership, in any individual or representative
or affiliated capacity whatsoever, except as may be required by law, reveal,
divulge, disclose or communicate to any person, firm, association, corporation
or other entity in any manner whatsoever information of any kind, nature or
description concerning: (i) the names of any prior or present suppliers or
customers of the Company, (ii) the prices for which the Company obtains or has
obtained products or services, (iii) the names of the personnel of the Company,
(iv) the manner of operation of the Company, (v) the plans, trade secrets, or
other data of any kind, nature or description, whether tangible or intangible,
of the Company, or (vi) any other financial, statistical or other information
that the Company designates or treats as confidential or proprietary. The
agreements set forth herein shall not apply to any information that at the time
of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known by the public
(other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by Promisor in
violation of this Agreement), the disclosure of which is required by law,
regulation, order, decree or process or is otherwise approved by the Company or
FYI. Without regard to whether any or all of the foregoing matters would be
deemed confidential, material or important, the parties hereto stipulate that
as between them, the same are important, material and confidential and gravely
affect the effective and successful conduct of the Business and its goodwill.

2. Noncompetition. Subject to Section 3(c), Promisor agrees that
for a period of five (5) years following the date hereof, Promisor shall not:

(i) Call upon, solicit, divert, take away or attempt to
call upon, solicit, divert or take away any past, existing or
potential customers, suppliers, businesses, or accounts of the
Business in connection with any business substantially similar to the
Business in the Territory;

(ii) Hire, attempt to hire, contact or solicit with
respect to hiring for Promisor or on behalf of any other person any
present or future employee of the Company in the Business;

(iii) Engage in, or give any advice to any person, firm,
partnership, association, venture, corporation or other entity engaged
in, a business substantially similar to the Business in the Territory;

(iv) Lend credit, money or reputation for the purpose of
establishing or operating a business substantially similar to the
Business in the Territory;

-2-

<PAGE> 74
(v) Do any act that Promisor knew or reasonably should
have known would be reasonably likely to materially injure the
Company;

(vi) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
provisions, conduct a business substantially similar to the Business
under the name "MMS Escrow and Transfer Agency" or any other trade
names, trademarks or service marks heretofore used by Promisor in the
Territory other than as contemplated in the Reorganization Agreement.

3. Enforcement of Covenants.

(a) Promisor acknowledges that a violation or
attempted violation of any of the covenants and agreements in Sections
1 and 2 above will cause such damage to the Company as will be
irreparable, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain
and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and
accordingly, Promisor agrees that the Company shall be entitled as a
matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent
jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of
such covenants and agreements by Promisor, or the affiliates, partners
or agents of such Promisor, as well as to recover from Promisor any
and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by the Company in
obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees. Promisor agrees that no bond or other
security shall be required in connection with such injunction.
Promisor further agrees that the five (5) year period of restriction
set forth in Sections 1 and 2 above shall be tolled during any period
of violation thereof by Promisor. Any exercise by the Company of its
rights pursuant to this Section 3 shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled. Each
party represents and warrants that it has been represented by counsel
in the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, including without
limitation the provisions set forth above in this Section 3(a)
concerning the recovery of attorneys' fees.

-3-

<PAGE> 75
(b) Promisor understands and acknowledges that
the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce
the scope of any covenants set forth in Sections 1 and 2, or any
portion thereof, without Promisor's consent, effective immediately
upon receipt by Promisor of written notice thereof; and Promisor
agrees that Promisor shall comply forthwith with any covenant as so
modified, which shall be fully enforceable as so revised in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

4. Intellectual Property. Promisor recognizes and agrees that,
on and after the date hereof, Promisor will not have the right to use for
Promisor's own account any of the service marks, trademarks, trade names,
licenses, procedures, processes, labels, trade secrets or customer lists of the
Company.

5. Validity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if it
should ever be held that any provision contained herein does not contain
reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area or scope of activity to be
restrained, then the court so holding shall at the request of the Company
reform such provisions to the extent necessary to cause them to contain
reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to
be restrained and to give the maximum permissible effect to the intentions of
the parties as set forth herein; and the court shall enforce such provisions as
so reformed. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision hereof is held
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining provisions
hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the
illegal, invalid or enforceable provision or by its severance here from.
Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there
shall be added automatically by the Company as a part hereof a provision as
similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, and the parties hereby agree to
such provision.

<PAGE> 89
AFFILIATE AGREEMENT

THIS AFFILIATE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of March 27, 1997 by and among F.Y.I. Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
("FYI"), MMS Escrow Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FYI ("Newco"), MMS Escrow and Transfer Agency, Inc.,
a Michigan corporation (the "Company"), and the undersigned affiliate of the
Company ("Affiliate").

RECITALS

A. The Company, FYI, Newco, Affiliate and certain other parties
have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization
Agreement") and the Company and Newco have entered or will enter into a Plan of
Merger, which agreements (collectively, the "Merger Agreements") provide for
the merger (the "Merger") of Newco with and into the Company, with the Company
as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"). Pursuant to the
Merger, all outstanding capital stock of the Company will be converted into the
common stock, $.01 par value of FYI (the "FYI Stock").

B. Affiliate may, as a result of the Merger, receive shares of
FYI Stock (the "Shares") in exchange for shares owned by Affiliate of the
common stock of the Company (the "Company Stock").

C. Affiliate understands that, because the Merger will be
accounted for using the "pooling of interests" method and Affiliate may be
deemed, as of the date hereof, to be an "affiliate" of the Company, as such
term is defined for purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 of the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Shares
beneficially owned by Affiliate may only be disposed of in conformity with the
limitations described herein.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Retain Shares. (a) Affiliate agrees not to
transfer, sell, or otherwise dispose of or direct or cause the sale, transfer
or other disposition of, or reduce Affiliate's risk relative to, any shares of
the Company Stock (except for the conversion of the Company Stock into FYI
Stock in the Merger) or Shares held by Affiliate or on Affiliate's behalf,
whether owned on the date hereof or after acquired, within the thirty (30) days
prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (as defined in the Reorganization
Agreement).

<PAGE> 90
includes the combined financial results (including combined sales and net
income) of FYI and the Company for a period of at least thirty (30) days of
combined operations of FYI and the Company following the Effective Time of the
Merger.

2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Affiliate.
Affiliate represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) Affiliate has full power and authority to execute
this Agreement, to make the representations, warranties and covenants
herein contained and to perform Affiliate's obligations hereunder.

(b) Affiliate will not sell, transfer, or otherwise
dispose of, or make any offer or agreement relating to any of the
foregoing with respect to, any Shares, except: (i) in a transaction
permitted pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act; (ii) in a
transaction that is otherwise exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act; or (iii) pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act.

3. Rules 144 and 145. From and after the Effective Time of the
Merger and for so long as is necessary in order to permit Affiliate to sell the
Shares pursuant to Rule 145 and, to the extent applicable, Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, FYI will use reasonable efforts to file on a timely basis all
reports required to be filed by it pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, as the same shall
be in effect at the time, referred to in paragraph (c) of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, in order to permit Affiliate to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the Shares held by it pursuant to the terms and conditions of Rule
145 and the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

4. Limited Resales. FYI acknowledges that the provisions of
Section 2(b) of this Agreement will be satisfied as to any sale by the
undersigned of the Shares pursuant to Rule 145(b) under the Securities Act,
upon receipt of a broker's letter and a letter from the undersigned with
respect to that sale stating that the applicable requirements of Rule 145(d)(1)
have been met or a letter from the undersigned stating that the requirements of
Rule 145(d)(1) are inapplicable by virtue of Rule 145(d)(2) or Rule 145(d)(3);
provided, however, that FYI has no reasonable basis to believe that such sales
were not made in compliance with such provisions of Rule 135(d) and subject to
any changes in Rule 145 after the date of this Agreement.

5. Legends. Affiliate also understands and agrees that stop
transfer instructions will be given to FYI's transfer agent with respect to
certificates evidencing the Shares and that there will be placed on the
certificate evidencing the Shares legends stating in substance:

-2-

oral, between the Company and Employee.

R E C I T A L S

The following statements are true and correct:

As of the date of this Agreement, the Company is engaged primarily in the
business of providing document management services.

Employee is employed hereunder by the Company in a confidential relationship
wherein Employee, in the course of his employment with the Company, has and
will continue to become familiar with and aware of information as to the
Company's customers, specific manner of doing business, including the
processes, techniques and trade secrets utilized by the Company, and future
plans with respect thereto, all of which has been and will be established and
maintained at great expense to the Company; this information is a trade secret
and constitutes the valuable goodwill of the Company.

Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, terms, covenants and
conditions set forth herein and the performance of each, it is hereby agreed as
follows:

A G R E E M E N T S

1. Employment and Duties.

(a) The Company hereby employs Employee as President and Chief
Executive Officer. As such, Employee shall have responsibilities, duties and
authority reasonably accorded to and expected of a President and Chief
Executive Officer and will report directly to the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"). Employee hereby accepts this employment upon the terms
and conditions herein contained and, subject to paragraph 1(b), agrees to
devote his working time, attention and efforts to promote and further the
business of the Company.

<PAGE> 2
(b) Employee shall not, during the term of his employment
hereunder, be engaged in any other business activity pursued for gain, profit
or other pecuniary advantage except to the extent that such activity (i) does
not interfere with Employee's duties and responsibilities hereunder and (ii)
does not violate paragraph 3 hereof. The foregoing limitations shall not be
construed as prohibiting Employee from serving on the boards of directors of
other companies or making personal investments in such form or manner as will
require his services, other than to a minimal extent, in the operation or
affairs of the companies or enterprises in which such investments are made nor
violate the terms of paragraph 3 hereof.

2. Compensation. For all services rendered by Employee, the
Company shall compensate Employee as follows:

(a) Base Salary. The base salary payable to Employee shall be
$200,000 per year, payable on a regular basis in accordance with the Company's
standard payroll procedures but not less than bi-monthly. On at least an
annual basis, the Board will review Employee's performance and may make
increases to such base salary if, in its discretion, any such increase is
warranted. Such recommended increase would, in all likelihood, require
approval by the Board or a duly constituted committee thereof.

(b) Incentive Bonus Plan. For 1996 and subsequent years, it is
the Company's intent to develop a written Incentive Bonus Plan setting forth
the criteria under which Employee and other officers and key employees will be
eligible to receive year-end bonus awards. Employee shall be eligible for a
bonus opportunity of up to 100% of his base salary in accordance with this
Incentive Bonus Plan. The award of any bonus shall be based on the total
performance of the Company, but shall be related to the earnings per share
growth of the Company and shall be payable in various increments based on the
performance of the Company versus targeted goals. The incremental payments and
the Company's targeted performance shall be determined by the Board or the
compensation committee thereof.

(c) Executive Perquisites, Benefits and Other Compensation.
Employee shall be entitled to receive additional benefits and compensation from
the Company in such form and to such extent as specified below:

(i) Payment of all premiums for coverage for Employee and
his dependent family members under health, hospitalization,
disability, dental, life and other insurance plans that the Company
may have in effect from time to time, with benefits provided to
Employee under this clause (1) to be at least comparable to the
benefits afforded to Employee in his current position (and to include
coverage for all pre-existing conditions) and not less favorable than
the benefits provided to other Company executives.

-2-

<PAGE> 3
(ii) Reimbursement for all business travel and other out-
of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in the performance
of his services pursuant to this Agreement. All reimbursable expenses
shall be appropriately documented in reasonable detail by Employee
upon submission of any request for reimbursement, and in a format and
manner consistent with the Company's expense reporting policy.

(iii) Four (4) weeks paid vacation for each year during the
period of employment or such greater amount as may be afforded
officers and key employees generally under the Company's policies in
effect from time to time (pro rated for any year in which Employee is
employed for less than the full year).

(iv) Beginning upon the completion of the Company's
initial public offering (the "IPO"), an automobile allowance in the
amount of $500 per month.

(v) The Company shall reimburse Employee up to $300 per
month for club dues actually incurred by Employee, provided that such
club is used at least 50 percent of the time for business purposes.

(vi) The Company shall provide Employee with other
executive perquisites as may be available to or deemed appropriate for
Employee by the Board and participation in all other Company-wide
employee benefits as available from time to time, which will include
participation in the Company's 1995 Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Plan.

(vii) The Company shall provide Employee with reasonable
assistance in personal tax planning from Arthur Andersen.

(viii) The Company shall, under Employee's direction,
establish a 401(k) Plan following consummation of the IPO of the
common stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company. The terms of such
Plan shall be approved by the Board or by the compensation committee
thereof.

(ix) The Company shall provide Employee with warrants (the
"Warrants") to acquire 100,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company
at an exercise price equal to $10.00 per share. The Warrants shall
become exercisable as to 50% of the underlying shares of Common Stock
on March 31, 1997 and as to the remaining 50% of the shares on January
26, 1998. The Warrants shall expire on the fifth anniversary of the
initial exercise date. In addition, Employee shall be granted options
(the "Options") to acquire 80,000 shares of Common Stock at the price
to the public of the Common Stock in the IPO. The Options shall
become exercisable as to 20% of the underlying shares of Common Stock
on the 180th day following the date of the final prospectus and as to
the remainder, 20% of the underlying shares of Common Stock on each of

-3-

<PAGE> 4
the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. The Options shall
expire on the tenth anniversary of the consummation of the date of
grant.

(x) The Company shall provide Employee with additional
warrants (the "Additional Warrants") to acquire (i) 50,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $20.00 per
share at such time as the Common Stock has closed at or above $20.00
per share for five consecutive days. The Company shall provide
Employee with additional options (the "Additional Options") to acquire
(i) 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price
equal to $25.00 per share at such time as the Common Stock has closed
at or above $25.00 per share for five consecutive days; and (ii)
50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price
equal to $35.00 per share at such time as the Common Stock has closed
at or above $35.00 per share for five consecutive days. The
Additional Warrants and the Additional Options shall become
exercisable as to 50% of the underlying shares of Common Stock on the
first anniversary of their issuance and as to the remaining 50% of the
shares on the second anniversary of their issuance. The Additional
Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the initial exercise date.
The Additional Options shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the
date of grant. Upon the grant of the Additional Warrants and the
Additional Options, Employee may exercise the Additional Options until
they expire.

3. Non-Competition Agreement.

(a) Subject to Section 3(a), Employee will not, during the period
of his employment by or with the Company, and for a period of two (2) years
immediately following the termination of his employment under this Agreement,
for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of
or in conjunction with any other person, persons, company, partnership,
corporation or business of whatever nature:

(i) engage, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner,
partner, joint venturer, or in a managerial capacity, whether as an
employee, independent contractor, consultant or advisor, or as a sales
representative, in any business selling any products or services in
direct competition with the Company, within 100 miles of (i) the
principal executive offices of the Company or (ii) any place to which
the Company provides products or services or in which the Company is
in the process of initiating business operations during the term of
this covenant (the "Territory");

(ii) call upon any person who is, at that time, within the
Territory, an employee of the Company (including the subsidiaries
thereof) in a managerial capacity for the purpose or with the intent
of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of the
Company (including the subsidiaries thereof), provided that Employee
shall be permitted to call upon and hire any member of his or her
immediate family;

-4-

<PAGE> 5
(iii) call upon any person or entity which is, at that time,
or which has been, within one (1) year prior to that time, a customer
of the Company (including the subsidiaries thereof) within the
Territory for the purpose of soliciting or selling products or
services in direct competition with the Company within the Territory;

(iv) call upon any prospective acquisition candidate, on
Employee's own behalf or on behalf of any competitor, which candidate
was either called upon by the Company (including the subsidiaries
thereof) or for which the Company made an acquisition analysis, for
the purpose of acquiring such entity; or

(v) disclose customers, whether in existence or proposed,
of the Company (or the Subsidiaries thereof) to any person, firm,
partnership, corporation or business for any reason or purpose
whatsoever.

Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed
to prohibit Employee from acquiring as an investment not more than three
percent (3%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter.

(b) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the
Company as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenant, and because of the
immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Company for which
it would have no other adequate remedy, Employee agrees that the foregoing
covenant may be enforced by the Company in the event of breach by him by
injunctions and restraining orders.

(c) It is agreed by the parties that the foregoing covenants in
this paragraph 3 impose a reasonable restraint on Employee in light of the
activities and business of the Company (including the Company's subsidiaries)
on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current plans of the
Company (including the Company's subsidiaries); but it is also the intent of
the Company and Employee that such covenants be construed and enforced in
accordance with the changing activities, business and locations of the Company
(including the Company's subsidiaries) throughout the term of this covenant,
whether before or after the date of termination of the employment of Employee,
subject to the following paragraph. For example, if, during the term of this
Agreement, the Company (including the Company's subsidiaries) engages in new
and different activities, enters a new business or established new locations
for its current activities or business in addition to or other than the
activities or business enumerated under the Recitals above or the locations
currently established therefore, then Employee will be precluded from
soliciting the customers or employees of such new activities or business or
from such new location and from directly competing with such new business
within 100 miles of its then-established operating location(s) through the term
of this covenant.

-5-

<PAGE> 6
It is further agreed by the parties hereto that, in the event that
Employee shall cease to be employed hereunder, and shall enter into a business
or pursue other activities not in competition with the Company (including the
Company's subsidiaries), or similar activities or business in locations the
operation of which, under such circumstances, does not violate clause (i) of
this paragraph 3, and in any event such new business, activities or location
are not in violation of this paragraph 3 or of Employee's obligations under
this paragraph 3, if any, Employee shall not be chargeable with a violation of
this paragraph 3 if the Company (including the Company's subsidiaries) shall
thereafter enter the same, similar or a competitive (i) business, (ii) course
of activities or (iii) location, as applicable.

(d) The covenants in this paragraph 3 are severable and separate,
and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the
provisions of any other covenant. Moreover, in the event any court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial
restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the
parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the
court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

(e) All of the covenants in this paragraph 3 shall be construed as
an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the
existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company,
whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants. It is
specifically agreed that the period of two (2) years stated at the beginning of
this paragraph 3, during which the agreements and covenants of Employee made in
this paragraph 3 shall be effective, shall be computed by excluding from such
computation any time during which Employee is in violation of any provision of
this paragraph 3.

4. Place of Performance.

(a) Employee has agreed to relocate to Dallas, Texas and
understands that he may be again requested by the Board to relocate from his
present residence to another geographic location in order to more efficiently
carry out his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or as part of a
promotion or other increase in duties and responsibilities. In connection with
Employee's relocation to Dallas, and in the event that Employee is again
requested to relocate and agrees to do so, the Company will pay all relocation
costs to move Employee, his immediate family and their personal property and
effects. Such costs may include, by way of example, but are not limited to,
pre-move visits to search for a new residence, investigate schools or for other
purposes; temporary lodging and living costs prior to moving into a new
permanent residence; duplicate home carrying costs; all closing costs on the
sale of Employee's present residence and on the purchase of a comparable
residence in the new location; and added income taxes that Employee may incur,
as a result of any payment hereunder, to the extent any relocation costs are
not deductible for tax purposes. The general intent of the foregoing is that
Employee shall not personally bear any out-of-pocket cost as a result of the
relocation, with an understanding that Employee will use his best efforts to
incur

-6-

<PAGE> 7
only those costs which are reasonable and necessary to effect a smooth,
efficient and orderly relocation with minimal disruption to the business
affairs of the Company and the personal life of Employee and his family.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, if Employee is requested by the
Board to relocate and Employee refuses, such refusal shall not constitute "good
cause" for termination of this Agreement under the terms of paragraph 5(c).

5. Term; Termination; Rights on Termination. The term of this
Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and continue for three (3) years (the
"Initial Term"), and, unless terminated sooner as herein provided, shall
continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis on the same terms and conditions
contained herein. This Agreement and Employee's employment may be terminated
in any one of the followings ways:

(a) Death. The death of Employee shall immediately
terminate the Agreement with no severance compensation due to
Employee's estate.

(b) Disability. If, as a result of incapacity due to
physical or mental illness or injury, Employee shall have been absent
from his full-time duties hereunder for four (4) consecutive months,
then thirty (30) days after receiving written notice (which notice may
occur before or after the end of such four (4) month period, but which
shall not be effective earlier than the last day of such four (4)
month period), the Company may terminate Employee's employment
hereunder provided Employee is unable to resume his full-time duties
at the conclusion of such notice period. Also, Employee may terminate
his employment hereunder if his health should become impaired to an
extent that makes the continued performance of his duties hereunder
hazardous to his physical or mental health or his life, provided that
Employee shall have furnished the Company with a written statement
from a qualified doctor to such effect and provided, further, that, at
the Company's request made within thirty (30) days of the date of such
written statement, Employee shall submit to an examination by a doctor
selected by the Company who is reasonably acceptable to Employee or
Employee's doctor and such doctor shall have concurred in the
conclusion of Employee's doctor. In the event this Agreement is
terminated as a result of Employee's disability, Employee shall
receive from the Company, in a lump-sum payment due within ten (10)
days of the effective date of termination, the base salary at the rate
then in effect for whatever time period is remaining under the Initial
Term of this Agreement or for one (1) year, whichever amount is
greater.

(c) Good Cause. The Company may terminate the Agreement
ten (10) days after written notice to Employee for good cause, which
shall be: (1) Employee's material and irreparable breach of this
Agreement; (2) Employee's gross negligence in the performance or
intentional nonperformance (continuing for ten (10) days after receipt
of the written notice) of any of Employee's material duties and
responsibilities

-7-

<PAGE> 8
hereunder; (3) Employee's dishonesty, fraud or misconduct with respect
to the business or affairs of the Company which materially and
adversely affects the operations or reputation of the Company; (4)
Employee's conviction of a felony crime; or (5) chronic alcohol abuse
or illegal drug abuse by Employee. In the event of a termination for
good cause, as enumerated above, Employee shall have no right to any
severance compensation.

(d) Without Cause. At any time after the commencement of
employment, the Company may, without cause, terminate this Agreement
and Employee's employment, effective thirty (30) days after written
notice is provided to the Company. Should Employee be terminated by
the Company without cause, Employee shall receive from the Company, in
a lump-sum payment due on the effective date of termination, the base
salary at the rate then in effect for whatever time period is
remaining under the Initial Term of this Agreement or for two (2)
years, whichever amount is greater ("Severance Pay"). Further, any
termination without cause by the Company shall operate to shorten the
period set forth in paragraph 3(a) and during which the terms of
paragraph 3 apply to one (1) year from the date of termination of
employment.

(e) Change in Control. Refer to paragraph 12 below.

(f) Termination by Employee for Good Reason. The
Employee may terminate his employment hereunder for "Good Reason." As
used herein, "Good Reason" shall mean the continuance of any of the
following after 10 days' prior written notice by Employee to the
Company, specifying the basis for such Employee's having Good Reason
to terminate this Agreement:

(i) the assignment to Employee of any duties
materially and adversely inconsistent with the Employee's
position as specified in paragraph 1 hereof (or such other
position to which he may be promoted), including status,
offices, responsibilities or persons to whom the Employee
reports as contemplated under paragraph 1 of this Agreement,
or any other action by the Company which results in a material
and adverse change in such position, status, offices, titles
or responsibilities;

(ii) Employee's removal from, or failure to be
reappointed or reelected to, Employee's position under this
Agreement, except as contemplated by paragraphs 5(a), (b), (c)
and (e); or

(iii) any other material breach of this Agreement by the
Company, including the failure to pay Employee on a timely basis the
amounts to which he is entitled under this Agreement.

-8-

<PAGE> 9
In the event of any termination by the Employee for Good Reason, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to the provisions of paragraph
16 below, the Company shall pay all amounts and damages to which Employee may
be entitled as a result of such breach, including interest thereon and all
reasonable legal fees and expenses and other costs incurred by Employee to
enforce his rights hereunder. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to
receive Severance Pay for two (2) years. Further, none of the provisions of
paragraph 3 shall apply in the event this Agreement is terminated by Employee
for Good Reason.

(g) Termination by Employee Without Cause. If Employee
resigns or otherwise terminates his employment without Good Reason
pursuant to paragraph 5(f), Employee shall receive no severance
compensation.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason provided in clauses (a)
through (g) above, Employee shall be entitled to receive all compensation
earned and all benefits vested and reimbursements due through the effective
date of termination. Additional compensation subsequent to termination, if
any, will be due and payable to Employee only to the extent and in the manner
expressly provided above or in paragraph 16. All other rights and obligations
of the Company and Employee under this Agreement shall cease as of the
effective date of termination, except that the Company's obligations under
paragraph 9 herein and Employee's obligations under paragraphs 3, 6, 7, 8 and
10 herein shall survive such termination in accordance with their terms.

6. Return of Company Property. All records, designs, patents,
business plans, financial statements, manuals, memoranda, lists and other
property delivered to or compiled by Employee by or on behalf of the Company or
its representatives, vendors or customers which pertain to the business of the
Company shall be and remain the property of the Company and be subject at all
times to its discretion and control. Likewise, all correspondence, reports,
records, charts, advertising materials and other similar data pertaining to the
business, activities or future plans of the Company which is collected by
Employee shall be delivered promptly to the Company without request by it upon
termination of Employee's employment.

7. Inventions. Employee shall disclose promptly to the Company
any and all significant conceptions and ideas for inventions, improvements and
valuable discoveries, whether patentable or not, which are conceived or made by
Employee, solely or jointly with another, during the period of employment or
within one (1) year thereafter, and which are directly related to the business
or activities of the Company and which Employee conceives as a result of his
employment by the Company. Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign all
his interests therein to the Company or its nominee. Whenever requested to do
so by the Company, Employee shall execute any and all applications, assignments
or other instruments that the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and
obtain Letters Patent of the United States or any foreign country or to
otherwise protect the Company's interest therein.

-9-

<PAGE> 10
8. Trade Secrets. Employee agrees that he will not, during or
after the term of this Agreement with the Company, disclose the specific terms
of the Company's relationships or agreements with its significant vendors or
customers or any other significant and material trade secret of the Company,
whether in existence or proposed, to any person, firm, partnership, corporation
or business for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except as is disclosed in the
ordinary course of business.

9. Indemnification. In the event Employee is made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by the Company
against Employee), by reason of the fact that he is or was performing services
under this Agreement, then the Company shall indemnify Employee against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by Employee in connection
therewith. In the event that both Employee and the Company are made a party to
the same third-party action, complaint, suit or proceeding, the Company agrees
to engage competent legal representation, and Employee agrees to use the same
representation, provided that if counsel selected by the Company shall have a
conflict of interest that prevents such counsel from representing Employee,
Employee may engage separate counsel and the Company shall pay all attorneys'
fees of such separate counsel. Further, while Employee is expected at all
times to use his best efforts to faithfully discharge his duties under this
Agreement, Employee cannot be held liable to the Company for errors or
omissions made in good faith where Employee has not exhibited gross, willful
and wanton negligence and misconduct or performed criminal and fraudulent acts
which materially damage the business of the Company.

10. No Prior Agreements. Employee hereby represents and warrants
to the Company that the execution of this Agreement by Employee and his
employment by the Company and the performance of his duties hereunder will not
violate or be a breach of any agreement with a former employer, client or any
other person or entity. Further, Employee agrees to indemnify the Company for
any claim, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses of
investigation, by any such third party that such third party may now have or
may hereafter come to have against the Company based upon or arising out of any
non-competition agreement, invention or secrecy agreement between Employee and
such third party which was in existence as of the date of this Agreement.

11. Assignment; Binding Effect. Employee understands that he has
been selected for employment by the Company on the basis of his personal
qualifications, experience and skills. Employee agrees, therefore, he cannot
assign all or any portion of his performance under this Agreement. Subject to
the preceding two (2) sentences and the express provisions of paragraph 12
below, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns.

-10-

<PAGE> 11
12. Change in Control.

(a) Unless he elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to (c)
below, Employee understands and acknowledges that the Company may be merged or
consolidated with or into another entity and that such entity shall
automatically succeed to the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder.

(b) In the event of a pending Change in Control wherein the
Company and Employee have not received written notice at least fifteen (15)
business days prior to the anticipated closing date of the transaction giving
rise to the Change in Control from the successor to all or a substantial
portion of the Company's business and/or assets that such successor is willing
as of the closing to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations
under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
is hereby required to perform, then such Change in Control shall be deemed to
be a termination of this Agreement by the Company without cause and the
applicable portions of paragraph 5(d) will apply; however, under such
circumstances, the amount of the lump-sum severance payment due to Employee
shall be triple the amount calculated under the terms of paragraph 5(d) and the
non-competition provisions of paragraph 3 shall not apply whatsoever.

(c) In any Change in Control situation in which Employee has
received written notice from the successor to the Company that such successor
is willing to assume the Company's obligations hereunder, Employee may
nonetheless, at his sole discretion, elect to terminate this Agreement by
providing written notice to the Company at least five (5) business days prior
to the anticipated closing of the transaction giving rise to the Change in
Control. In such case, the applicable provisions of paragraph 5(d) will apply
as though the Company had terminated the Agreement without cause; however,
under such circumstances, the amount of the lump-sum severance payment due to
Employee shall be 150% the amount calculated under the terms of paragraph 5(d)
and the non-competition provisions of paragraph 3 shall all apply for a period
of one (1) year from the effective date of termination.

(d) For purposes of applying paragraph 5 under the circumstances
described in (b) and (c) above, the effective date of termination will be the
closing date of the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control and all
compensation, reimbursements and lump-sum payments due Employee must be paid in
full by the Company at or prior to such closing. Further, Employee will be
given sufficient time and opportunity to elect whether to exercise all or any
of his vested options to purchase Common Stock of the Company, including any
options with accelerated vesting under the provisions of the Company's 1995
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, such that he may convert the options to
shares of Common Stock of the Company at or prior to the closing of the
transaction giving rise to the Change in Control, if he so desires.

-11-

<PAGE> 12
(e) A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) any person, other than the Company or an employee benefit
plan of the Company, acquires directly or indirectly the Beneficial
Ownership (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) of any voting security of the Company and
immediately after such acquisition such Person is, directly or
indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of voting securities representing 50%
or more of the total voting power of all of the then-outstanding
voting securities of the Company;

(ii) the individuals (A) who, as of the effective date of the

of Directors of the Company and whose election, or nomination for
election, to the Board of Directors of the Company was approved by a
vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Original Directors then still
in office (such directors becoming "Additional Original Directors"
immediately following their election) or (C) who are elected to the
Board of Directors of the Company and whose election, or nomination
for election, to the Board of Directors of the Company was approved by
a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Original Directors and
Additional Original Directors then still in office (such directors
also becoming "Additional Original Directors" immediately following
their election), cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the
members of the Board of Directors of the Company;

(iii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve a merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, or reorganization of the Company, a
reverse stock split of outstanding voting securities, or consummation
of any such transaction if stockholder approval is not sought or
obtained, other than any such transaction which would result in at
least 75% of the total voting power represented by the voting
securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
transaction being Beneficially Owned by at least 75% of the holders of
outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to the
transaction, with the voting power of each such continuing holder
relative to other such continuing holders not substantially altered in
the transaction; or

(iv) the stockholders of the Company shall approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or a substantial portion of the
Company's assets (i.e., 50% or more of the total assets of the
Company).

(f) Employee must be notified in writing by FYI at any time that FYI
or any member of its Board anticipates that a Change in Control may take place.

<PAGE> 13
(g) Employee shall be reimbursed by the Company or its successor
for any excise taxes that Employee incurs under Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as a result of any Change in Control. Such amount will
be due and payable by the Company or its successor within ten (10) days after
Employee delivers a written request for reimbursement accompanied by a copy of
his tax return(s) showing the excise tax actually incurred by Employee.

13. Complete Agreement. This Agreement is not a promise of future
employment. Employee has no oral representations, understandings or agreements
with the Company or any of its officers, directors or representatives covering
the same subject matter as this Agreement. This written Agreement is the
final, complete and exclusive statement and expression of the agreement between
the Company and Employee and of all the terms of this Agreement, and it cannot
be varied, contradicted or supplemented by evidence of any prior or
contemporaneous oral or written agreements. This written Agreement may not be
later modified except by a further writing signed by a duly authorized officer
of the Company and Employee, and no term of this Agreement may be waived except
by writing signed by the party waiving the benefit of such term.

1. Duration and Exercise of Warrant; Limitation on Exercise; Payment of
Taxes.

1.1 Duration and Exercise of Warrant.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised to purchase 50% of the
underlying shares from and after 9:00 A.M. New York City time on March 31,
1997 (the "Initial Exercise Date") and the remaining 50% of the underlying
shares on January 26, 1998 (the "Second Exercise Date"), the Initial Exercise
Date or the Second Exercise Date, as applicable (the "Exercise Date") and to
and including 5:00 P.M. New York City time on March 31, 2002 (the "Expiration
Date"). In addition, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the
right to exercise 100% of the underlying shares shall immediately vest. A
"Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) any person, other than the Company or an employee benefit
plan of the Company, acquires directly or indirectly the Beneficial
Ownership (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the" Exchange Act")) of any voting security
of the Company and immediately after such acquisition such Person is,
directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of voting securities
representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all of the
then-outstanding voting securities of the Company;

(ii) the individuals (A) who, as of the closing date of the
Initial Public Offering, constitute the Board (the "Original
Directors") or (B) who thereafter are elected to the Board and whose
election, or nomination for election, to the Board was approved by a
vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Original Directors then still
in office (such directors becoming "Additional Original Directors"
immediately following their election) or (C) who are elected to the
Board and whose election, or nomination for election, to the Board was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Original
Directors and Additional Original Directors then still in office (such
directors also becoming "Additional Original Directors" immediately
following their election) (such individuals being the "Continuing
Directors"), cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the
members of the Board;

-2-

<PAGE> 3
(iv) the stockholders of the Company shall approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or a substantial portion of the
Company's assets (i.e., 50% or more of the total assets of the
Company).

(b) The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised
by the Warrantholder of record, in whole, or from time to time in part, by (a)
surrender of this Warrant, accompanied by either the Exercise Form annexed
hereto, or if the Warrantholder decides to exercise the Warrant pursuant to the
broker-assisted cashless exercise program instituted by the Company, an
applicable exercise form provided by the Company (the "Exercise Form") duly
executed by the Warrantholder of record and specifying the number of Warrant
Shares to be purchased, to the Company at the office of the Company located at
3232 McKinney Avenue, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75204 (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder at the
address of such Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company) during
normal business hours on any day (a "Business Day") other than a Saturday,
Sunday or a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is authorized to close or
on which the Company is otherwise closed for business (a "Nonbusiness Day") on
or after 9:00 A.M. New York City time on the Exercise Date but not later than
5:00 P.M. on the Expiration Date (or 5:00 P.M. on the next succeeding Business
Day, if the Expiration Date is a Nonbusiness Day), (b) delivery of payment to
the Company in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing
House Funds, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified
in the Exercise Form (such payment may be made by the Warrantholder directly or
by a designated broker pursuant to the broker-assisted cashless exercise
program instituted by the Company, subject to Section 1.5 herein) and (c) such
documentation as to the identity and authority of the Warrantholder as the
Company may reasonably request. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed by the
Company to be issued to the Warrantholder as the record holder of such Warrant
Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have
been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid.
Certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form shall be
delivered to the Warrantholder (or designated broker, as the case may be) as
promptly as practicable, and in any event within 10 business days, thereafter.
The Common Stock certificates so delivered shall be in denominations of at
least 1,000 shares each or such other denomination as may be specified by the
Warrantholder and agreed upon by the Company, and shall be issued in the name
of the Warrantholder or, if permitted by subsection 1.5 and in accordance with
the provisions thereof, such other name as shall be designated in the Exercise
Form. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for the Warrant Shares,
deliver to the Warrantholder (or designated broker, as the case may be) a new
Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which
new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. No
adjustments or payments shall be made on or in respect of Warrant Shares
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable
to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the
Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares.

-3-

<PAGE> 4
(c) With the consent of the Compensation Committee, and
subject at all times to, and only to the extent, if any, permitted under and in
accordance with, laws and regulations and other binding obligations or
provisions applicable to the Company, the Company may make a loan to the
Warrantholder with respect to the exercise of the Warrant, including the
payment by the Warrantholder of any or all federal, state and local income or
other taxes due in connection with any exercise. The interest on such loan
shall be the Company's cost of money plus an additional .5% at the time the
loan is made and such loan shall be made with recourse against the
Warrantholder. The Compensation Committee shall have the full authority to
determine any other terms and provisions of such a loan.

1.2 Limitation on Exercise. This Warrant may only be
vested if, at the time of such vesting, Mr. Bowman is an Employee of the
Company, except as provided in Section 1.3. If this Warrant is not exercised
prior to 5:00 P.M. on the Expiration Date (or the next succeeding Business Day,
if the Expiration Date is a Nonbusiness Day), this Warrant, or any new Warrant
issued pursuant to Section 1.1, shall cease to be exercisable and shall become
void and all rights of the Warrantholder hereunder shall cease. This Warrant
shall not be exercisable, and no Warrant Shares shall be issued hereunder,
prior to 9:00 A.M. New York City time on the Exercise Date.

1.3 Exercise Upon Termination. Upon termination of Mr.
Bowman's employment with the Company, this Warrant may be exercised during the
three month period following such termination of employment, but only to the
extent that this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such termination
of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such termination is for
cause, the right to exercise this Warrant shall terminate upon such
termination. In no event shall this Warrant be exercisable for more than the
maximum number of shares that the Warrantholder was entitled to purchase at the
date of termination of the relationship with the Company. Subject to the
foregoing, in the event of Mr. Bowman's death, this Warrant may be exercised
by Mr. Bowman's legal representative through the Expiration Date.

1.4 Payment of Taxes. The issuance of certificates for
Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any stock
transfer or other issuance tax in respect thereto; provided, however, that the
Warrantholder shall be required to pay any and all taxes which may be payable
in respect to any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the then
Warrantholder as reflected upon the books of the Company.

1.5 Transfer Restriction and Legend. (a) Until January
26, 1998, neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares nor any interest
or participation in either may be in any manner transferred or disposed of, in
whole or in part, at any time, without the consent of the Company, except by
will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by
operation of law.

-4-

<PAGE> 5
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest or
participation in either, may be in any manner transferred or disposed of, in
whole or in part, except in compliance with applicable United States federal
and state securities laws. This limitation shall be in addition to the
limitation set forth in Section 1.5(a) above.

Each certificate for Warrant Shares and any Warrant issued at
any time in exchange or substitution for any Warrant bearing such a legend
shall bear a legend similar in effect to the foregoing paragraph unless, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares need no
longer be subject to the restriction contained herein. The provisions of this
subsection 1.5 shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of this Warrant and
the Warrant Shares, if any. Warrant Shares transferred to the public as
expressly permitted by, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Warrant
shall thereafter cease to be deemed to be "Warrant Shares" for purposes hereof.

1.6 Divisibility of Warrant. This Warrant may be divided
into warrants representing one Warrant Share or multiples thereof, upon
surrender at the principal office of the Company on any Business Day, without
charge to any Warrantholder, except as provided below. The Warrantholder will
be charged for reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company in
connection with the division of this Warrant into Warrants representing fewer
than one thousand (1,000) Warrant Shares. Upon any such division, and, if
permitted by subsection 1.5 and in accordance with the provisions thereof, the
Warrants may be transferred of record to a name other than that of the
Warrantholder of record; provided, however, that the Warrantholder shall be
required to pay any and all transfer taxes with respect thereto.

2. Reservation and Listing of Shares, Etc.

All Warrant Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant shall, upon issuance and payment of the
Exercise Price, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances with
respect to the issue thereof other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue. During the period within which
this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized
and reserved, and keep available free from preemptive rights, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant,
and shall at its expense use its best efforts to procure such listing thereof
(subject to official notice of issuance) as then may be required on all stock
exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or on the Nasdaq National
Market. The Company shall, from time to time, take all such action as may be
required to assure that the par value per share of the Warrant Shares is at all
times equal to or less than the then effective Exercise Price.

-5-

<PAGE> 6
3. Exchange, Loss or Destruction of Warrant.

If permitted by subsection 1.5 or 1.6 and in accordance with
the provisions thereof, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company with a
duly executed instrument of assignment and funds sufficient to pay any transfer
tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant of
like tenor in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of such bond or
indemnification as the Company may reasonably require, and, in the case of such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor. The term "Warrant" as used
herein includes any Warrants issued in substitution or exchange of this
Warrant.

4. Ownership of Warrant.

The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this
Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any
notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company)
for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until
presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in
subsections 1.1 and 1.5 or in Section 3.

5. Certain Adjustments.

The Exercise Price at which Warrant Shares may be purchased
hereunder, and the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased upon exercise
hereof, are subject to change or adjustment as follows:

5.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in
shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common
Stock (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common
Stock other securities of the Company (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is the surviving corporation), the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted so
that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and
number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which he
would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening
of any of the events described above, had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date
with

-6-

<PAGE> 7
respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive
to the record date, if any, for such event.

(b) In case the Company shall:

(i) issue rights, options or warrants to all holders
of its outstanding Common Stock, without any charge
to such holders, entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share
which is lower at the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such rights, options or warrants than the then
current market price per share of Common Stock, or

appropriate adjustments shall be made to the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and/or the Exercise Price in order
to preserve the relative rights and interests of the Warrantholders, such
adjustments to be made by the good faith determination of the Board of
Directors of the Company.

5.2 Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company
may, at its option, at any time during the term of the Warrants, reduce the
then current Exercise Price to any amount, consistent with applicable law,
deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

5.3 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant
Shares or the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall promptly mail first class, postage prepaid, to all
Warrantholders, notice of such adjustment.

5.4 No Adjustment for Cash Dividends. No adjustment in
respect of any cash dividends shall be made during the term of this Warrant or
upon the exercise of this Warrant.

-7-

<PAGE> 8
corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrantholders an
agreement that the Warrantholders shall have the right thereafter upon payment
of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase
upon exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other
securities and property which such holder would have owned or have been
entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or lease had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such
action; provided, however, that no adjustment in respect of cash dividends,
interest or other income on or from such shares or other securities and
property shall be made during the term of this Warrant or upon the exercise of
this Warrant. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 5. The provisions of this subsection 5.5 shall apply similarly to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or leases.

6. Registration Rights

6.1 Registration Rights of Warrant Shares on Form S-8

On or prior to September 30, 1997, the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Warrant Shares on a Form S-8, which
registration statement shall be effective upon the filing thereof. The Company
shall use its best efforts to keep such Form S-8 current and effective until
the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date this Warrant has been exercised
in full.

6.2 Piggy-Back Registration Rights.

At any time following the closing of the Initial Public
Offering, whenever the Company proposes to register any Common Stock for its
own or others account under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), for a public offering for cash, but other than a
registration relating to employee benefit plans, the Company will give each
Warrantholder prompt written notice of its intent to do so. Upon the written
request of any Warrantholder given within 30 days after receipt of such notice,
the Company will use its best efforts to cause to be included in such
registration all of the Common Stock which such Warrantholder requests,
provided that the Company shall have the right to reduce the number of shares
included in such registration if the Company is advised in writing in good
faith by any managing underwriter of the securities being offered pursuant to
any registration statement under this Section 6.2 that the number of shares to
be sold by persons other than the Company is greater than the number of such
shares which can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, the
Company may reduce pro rata the number of shares offered for the accounts of
such persons (based upon the number of shares held by such person) to a number
deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter.

-8-

<PAGE> 9
6.2 Other Arrangements. In connection with the
registration of Warrant Shares in accordance with subsection 6.2, the holders
who elect to have their Warrant Shares included therein, shall so notify the
Company and furnish the Company with such appropriate information (including,
but not limited to, the manner in which such shares are to be sold) in
connection therewith as the Company shall reasonably request. Such
notification shall be made, and such information furnished, in writing within
ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the notices specified in subsection 6.2.
In connection with any such registration, the Company agrees to:

(a) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the
Warrant Shares for offer or sale under state securities or "blue sky"
laws of such jurisdictions in which the holders thereof shall
reasonably designate, and use its best efforts to do any and all other
acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the
holders to consummate the sale, transfer or other disposition of such
Warrant Shares in any jurisdiction; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not now qualified or to take any other action
which would subject it to general service of process in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject itself to
taxation in any such jurisdiction;

(b) Furnish to the holders requesting registration of the
Warrant Shares (i) at least three (3) calendar days before the filing
thereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
a proof of the latest draft of the registration statement and, if
requested, to extend invitations to the holders requesting
registration of the Warrant Shares to attend all meetings at which the
Company and the underwriter of such offering are present at which such
registration statement is discussed, and (ii) promptly after the
filing thereof, a copy of the registration statement as filed and any
amendment to such registration statement and all exhibits thereto and
consents of experts filed or to be filed therewith;

(c) Furnish to the holders requesting registration of the
Warrant Shares at the Company's expense such number of copies of such
registration statement and all amendments thereto and of such
prospectuses (including each preliminary, amended, or supplemental
prospectus) as such persons may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the sale or transfer of his or its Warrant Shares;

(d) Make available to the Company's security holders, not
later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of the
Company's first fiscal quarter in which the first anniversary of the
effective date of the registration statement occurs (or ninety (90)
calendar days if the end of the first fiscal quarter in which the
first anniversary of the effective date occurs coincides with the end
of the Company's fiscal year), an earnings statement covering a period
of at least twelve (12) consecutive months, which earnings statement
shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act or
Rule 158 promulgated under the Securities Act;

-9-

<PAGE> 10
(e) Use its best efforts to list the Warrant Shares on
any securities exchange (or on the Nasdaq National Market) on which
other shares of Common Stock are listed;

(f) Afford to the persons requesting registration an
opportunity to make such examination and inquiry into the financial
position, business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries as
such persons or their counsel may reasonably deem necessary so as to
satisfy themselves as to the accuracy and completeness of the
registration statement; and

(g) Pay all costs incident to such registration other
than the cost of any counsel or other advisers to the holder
requesting registration and any brokerage or underwriting commissions
in connection with the sale of the Warrant Shares so registered.

The Company shall have sole control in connection with the preparation, filing,
amending and supplementing of any registration statement, including the right
to withdraw the same or delay the effectiveness thereof when, in the sole
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, the pendency of such
registration statement or the effectiveness thereof would impose an undue
burden upon the ability of the Company to proceed with any other material
financing for its own account or any material corporate transaction, including,
but not limited to, a reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation
or material acquisition of the securities or assets of another firm or
corporation; and the Company shall be required to file a new registration
statement or to proceed with such actions as reasonably may be required to
cause the registration statement to become effective within a reasonable time
after the consummation of the event or transaction which required such
withdrawal or delay.

EXERCISE FORM

1. Duration and Exercise of Warrant; Limitation on Exercise; Payment of
Taxes.

1.1 Duration and Exercise of Warrant.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised to purchase 50% of the
underlying shares from and after 9:00 A.M. New York City time on May 21, 1997
(the "Initial Exercise Date") and the remaining 50% of the underlying shares on
May 21, 1998 (the "Second Exercise Date"), the Initial Exercise Date or the
Second Exercise Date, as applicable (the "Exercise Date") and to and including

addition, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the right to

(i) any person, other than the Company or an employee benefit
plan of the Company, acquires directly or indirectly the Beneficial
Ownership (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of any voting security

directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of voting securities
representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all of the

<PAGE> 3
(iv) the stockholders of the Company shall approve a
plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement
for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or a
substantial portion of the Company's assets (i.e., 50% or more
of the total assets of the Company).

(b) The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised
by the Warrantholder of record, in whole, or from time to time in part, by (a)
surrender of this Warrant accompanied by either the Exercise Form attached
hereto, or if the Warrantholder decides to exercise the Warrant pursuant to the
broker-assisted cashless exercise program instituted by the Company, an
applicable exercise form provided by the Company (the "Exercise Form") duly
executed by the Warrantholder of record and specifying the number of Warrant
Shares to be purchased, to the Company at the office of the Company located at
3232 McKinney Avenue, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75204 (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder at the
address of such Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company) during
normal business hours on any day (a "Business Day") other than a Saturday,
Sunday or a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is authorized to close or
on which the Company is otherwise closed for business (a "Nonbusiness Day") on
or after 9:00 A.M. New York City time on the Exercise Date but not later than
5:00 P.M. on the Expiration Date (or 5:00 P.M. on the next succeeding Business
Day, if the Expiration Date is a Nonbusiness Day), (b) delivery of payment to
the Company in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing

by a designated broker pursuant to the broker-assisted cashless exercise
program instituted by the Company, subject to Section 1.5 herein) and (c) such
documentation as to the identity and authority of the Warrantholder as the
Company may reasonably request. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed by the
Company to be issued to the Warrantholder as the record holder of such Warrant
Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have
been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid.
Certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form shall be
delivered to the Warrantholder (or designated broker, as the case may be) as
promptly as practicable, and in any event within 10 business days, thereafter.
The Common Stock certificates so delivered shall be in denominations of at
least 1,000 shares each or such other denomination as may be specified by the
Warrantholder and agreed upon by the Company, and shall be issued in the name
of the Warrantholder or, if permitted by subsection 1.5 and in accordance with
the provisions thereof, such other name as shall be designated in the Exercise
Form. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for the Warrant Shares,
deliver to the Warrantholder (or designated broker, as the case may be) a new
Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which
new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. No
adjustments or payments shall be made on or in respect of Warrant Shares
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable
to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the
Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares.

(c) With the consent of the Compensation Committee, and
subject at all times to, and only to the extent, if any, permitted under and in
accordance with, laws and regulations and other binding obligations or
provisions applicable to the Company, the Company may make a loan to the
Warrantholder with respect to the exercise of the Warrant, including the
payment by the Warrantholder of any or all federal, state and local income or
other taxes due in connection with any exercise. The interest on such loan
shall be the Company's cost of money plus an additional .5% at the time the
loan is made and such loan shall be made with recourse against the
Warrantholder. The Compensation Committee shall have the full authority to
determine any other terms and provisions of such a loan.

1.2 Limitation on Exercise. If this Warrant is not
exercised prior to 5:00 P.M. on the Expiration Date (or the next succeeding
Business Day, if the Expiration Date is a Nonbusiness Day), this Warrant, or
any new Warrant issued pursuant to Section 1.1, shall cease to be exercisable
and shall become void and all rights of the Warrantholder hereunder shall
cease. This Warrant shall not be exercisable, and no Warrant Shares shall be
issued hereunder, prior to 9:00 A.M. New York City time on the Exercise Date.

1.3 Exercise Upon Termination. Upon termination of Mr.
Bowman's employment with the Company, this Warrant may be exercised after the
Initial Exercise Date and to and including the Expiration Date even if Mr.
Bowman is no longer employed by the Company. Subject to the foregoing, in the
event of Mr. Bowman's death, this Warrant may be exercised by Mr. Bowman's
legal representative through the Expiration Date.

1.5 Transfer Restriction and Legend. (a) Until January
26, 1998, neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest
or participation in either may be in any manner transferred or disposed of, in
whole or in part, at any time, without the consent of the Company, except by
will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by
operation of law.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest or
participation in either, may be in any manner transferred or disposed of, in
whole or in part, except in compliance with applicable United States federal
and state securities laws. This limitation shall be in addition to the
limitation set forth in Section 1.5(a) above.

-4-

<PAGE> 5
Each certificate for Warrant Shares and any Warrant issued at
any time in exchange or substitution for any Warrant bearing such a legend
shall bear a legend similar in effect to the foregoing paragraph unless, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares need no
longer be subject to the restriction contained herein. The provisions of this
subsection 1.5 shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of this Warrant and
the Warrant Shares, if any. Warrant Shares transferred to the public as
expressly permitted by, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Warrant
shall thereafter cease to be deemed to be "Warrant Shares" for purposes hereof.

as follows:

(b) In case the Company shall:

-6-

<PAGE> 7
(i) issue rights, options or warrants to all holders
of its outstanding Common Stock, without any charge
to such holders, entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share
which is lower at the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such rights, options or warrants than the then
current market price per share of Common Stock, or

(ii) distribute to all holders of its shares of
Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(excluding cash dividends or distributions payable
out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus and
dividends or distributions referred to in paragraph
(a) of this subsection 5.1) or rights, options or
warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock, appropriate adjustments shall
be made to the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of the Warrant and/or the Exercise
Price in order to preserve the relative rights and
interests of the Warrantholders, such adjustments to
be made by the good faith determination of the Board
of Directors of the Company.

5.2 Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company
may, at its option, at any time during the term of the Warrants,
reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount, consistent with
applicable law, deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company.

5.4 No Adjustment for Cash Dividends. No adjustment in
respect of any cash dividends shall be made during the term of this Warrant or
upon the exercise of this Warrant.

Consolidation, etc. In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger
of the Company into another corporation or in case of any sale, transfer or
lease to another corporation of all or substantially all of the property of the
Company, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case
may be, shall execute with the Warrantholders an agreement that the
Warrantholders shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase upon exercise of
this Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property
which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the
happening of such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease had this
Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action; provided, however,
that no adjustment in respect of cash dividends, interest or other income on or
from such

-7-

<PAGE> 8
shares or other securities and property shall be made during the term of this
Warrant or upon the exercise of this Warrant. Such agreement shall provide for
adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The provisions of this subsection
5.5 shall apply similarly to successive consolidations, mergers, sales,
transfers or leases.

6. Registration Rights

holders to consummate the sale, transfer or other disposition of such
Warrant Shares in any jurisdiction; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not now qualified or to take any other action
which would subject it to general service of process in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject itself to
taxation in any such jurisdiction;

(e) Use its best efforts to list the Warrant Shares on
any securities exchange (or on the Nasdaq National Market) on which
other shares of Common Stock are listed;
