                                      AGREEMENT

           The Purchaser and the Selling Stockholder, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:


SECTION 1. SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES; RELATED TRANSACTIONS

    1.1    SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES.  At the Closing, the Selling

Agreement.

    1.2    PURCHASE PRICE.

           (a)    As full payment for the sale, assignment, transfer and
delivery of the Shares by the Selling Stockholder in compliance with Section
1.3(b) of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Selling
Shareholder, or to a mutually satisfactory Escrow Agent on behalf of the Selling
Stockholder, stock certificates representing 16,000 shares of the common stock
of the Purchaser (the 'Purchaser Shares').

    1.3    CLOSING.

           (a)    The closing of the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser (the
'Closing') shall take place at the offices of the Cooley Godward LLP at 1:00
p.m. (Pacific time) on December 31, 1996.



           (b)    At the Closing:

                  (i)    the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Purchaser
    the stock certificates representing the Shares, duly endorsed (or
    accompanied by duly executed stock powers), and the Purchaser shall deliver
    the Purchaser Shares as contemplated by Section 1.2;

                  (ii)   the Selling Stockholder shall execute and deliver to
    the Purchaser and IFS a General Release in the form of Exhibit D; and

                  (iii)  the Selling Stockholder shall execute and deliver to
    the Purchaser and IFS a certificate (the 'Closing Certificate') setting
    forth the Selling Stockholder's representations and warranties that
    (A) each of the representations and warranties made by IFS and the Selling
    Stockholder in this Agreement was accurate, to the best of the Selling
    Stockholder's knowledge but without any obligation to independently confirm
    the accuracy thereof, in all respects as of the date of this Agreement,
    (B) except as expressly set forth in the Disclosure Schedule attached
    hereto as Exhibit D, each of the representations and warranties made by IFS
    and the Selling Stockholder in this Agreement is accurate, to the best of
    the Selling Stockholder's knowledge but without any obligation to
    independently confirm the accuracy thereof, in all respects as of the
    Closing Date as if made on the Closing Date, (C) each of the covenants and
    obligations that IFS and the Selling Stockholder are required to have
    complied with or performed,  pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the
    Closing has been duly complied with and performed, to the best of the
    Selling Stockholder's knowledge but without any obligation to independently
    confirm the accuracy thereof, in all respects, and (D) except as expressly
    set forth in the Closing Certificate, each of the conditions set forth in
    Sections 5.4(b), 5.5, 5.7 and 5.8 has been satisfied, to the best of the
    Selling Stockholder's knowledge but without any obligation to independently
    confirm the accuracy thereof, in all respects.

                  (iv)   the Selling Stockholder and the Purchaser shall
execute and deliver to each other a Lock-Up Agreement dated December 31, 1996.


SECTION 2. REGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

    2.1    SHELF REGISTRATION

                  (a)    SHELF REGISTRATION.  The Purchaser shall, not later
than one year after the Closing Date (the 'Filing Date'), prepare and file with
the SEC a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 (or any appropriate
similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC) under the Act covering the
Registrable Securities (the 'Shelf Registration').  The Shelf Registration shall
be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of the
Registrable Securities for resale by the Selling Stockholder from time to time.

                                          2.




                  (b)    EFFECTIVENESS.  The Purchaser shall use its best
efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to become effective under the Act as
soon as practicable following the Filing Date.  Subject to the requirements of
the Act including, without limitation, requirements relating to updating through
post-effective amendments or otherwise, the Purchaser shall use its best efforts
to keep the Shelf Registration continuously effective until the later of (i) the
third anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) such time as all of the
Registrable Securities may be traded pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act by such
Purchasers who are not at such time affiliates of the Purchaser within the
meaning set forth in Rule 144 under the Act.  The Purchaser shall use its best
efforts to take such actions under the laws of various states as may be required
to cause the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration to be lawful.

                  (c)    Following the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this section, the Purchaser may, at any time,
suspend the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for up to 60 days, as
appropriate (a 'Suspension Period'), by giving notice to the Selling
Stockholder, if the Purchaser shall have determined that the Purchaser may be
required to disclose any material corporate development which disclosure may
have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no more than two Suspension Periods (i.e., 120 days) may occur in immediate
succession.  The period of any such suspension of the Registration Statement
shall be added to the period of time the Purchaser agrees to keep the
Registration Statement effective as provided in Section 2.2(b).  The Purchaser
shall use its best efforts to limit the duration and number of any Suspension
Periods.  The Selling Stockholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
the Purchaser of a Suspension Period, the Selling Stockholder shall forthwith
discontinue disposition of shares covered by such Registration Statement or
Prospectus until the Selling Stockholder (i) is advised in writing by the
Purchaser that the use of the applicable  Prospectus may be resumed, (ii) has
received copies of a supplemental or amended Prospectus, if applicable, and
(iii) has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.

    2.2    PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                  (a)    REGISTRATION.  If at any time or from time to time the
Purchaser shall determine to register any of its securities, either for its own
account or the account of security holders (other than the Selling Stockholder),
other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans or a
registration on Form S-4 relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction, the
Purchaser will:

                         (i)    promptly give to the Selling Stockholder
written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which
the Purchaser intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable
blue sky or other state securities laws); and

                         (ii)   include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request,
made within 20 calendar days after receipt of such written notice from the
Purchaser, by the Selling Stockholder, except as set forth in Subsection 2.2(b)
below.

                                          3.




                  (b)    (i)    UNDERWRITING.  If the registration of which the
Purchaser gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Purchaser shall so advise the Selling Stockholder as a part of
the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i).  In such event the right
of the Selling Stockholder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be
conditioned upon (i) the expected proceeds to the Purchaser from the
underwritten offering, less expenses including underwriters' commissions,
attorneys' fees and expenses and printers' costs, among others, of at least
$10,000,000; (ii) such Selling Stockholder's participation in such underwriting
and (iii) the inclusion of the Selling Stockholder's Registrable Securities in
the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  The Selling Stockholder, upon
proposing to distribute its securities through such Underwriting shall, together
with the Purchaser and the other parties distributing their securities through
such underwriting, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Purchaser.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsection 2.2, if the underwriter
determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares
to be underwritten, the underwriter may limit the number of Registrable
Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting, or may exclude
Registrable Securities entirely from such registration and underwriting subject
to the terms of this paragraph.  The Purchaser shall so advise all holders of
the Purchaser's securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten
pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, that may be included in the registration and
underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner:  shares, other than
Registrable Securities, other securities carrying registration rights, and
securities beneficially owned by any stockholder of the Purchaser who
beneficially owns more than 20% of the Shares outstanding at the time of filing
the Registration Statement (each a '20% Owner'), requested to be included in
such registration by stockholders shall be excluded, and, if a limitation on the
number of shares is still required, the number of securities that may be
included shall be allocated, first, among the holders of piggyback registration
rights having PARI PASSU registration rights with those set forth herein (which
holders shall be deemed to include any 20% Owner), if any, in proportion, as
nearly as possible, to the respective amounts of such securities held by each
such holder, at the time of filing the Registration Statement.  In the event of
any underwriter cutback, any pro rata reduction with respect to the Selling
Stockholder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by the Selling Stockholder.  No securities excluded
from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing limitation shall
be included in such registration.  If the Selling Security Holder disapproves of
the terms of the underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Purchaser and the underwriter.  The Registrable Securities so
withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration.


SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLING STOCKHOLDER

           The Selling Stockholder represents and warrants, to the best of the
Selling Stockholder's knowledge but without any obligation to independently
confirm the accuracy thereof, that except as set forth on the Disclosure
Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D:

                                          4.




    3.1    CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS; RECORDS.

           (a)    The Selling Stockholder shall caused IFS to deliver to the
Purchaser accurate and complete copies of:

                  (i)    IFS's certificate of incorporation and bylaws,
    including all amendments thereto;

                  (ii)   the stock records of IFS; and

                  (iii)  the minutes and other records of the meetings and
    other proceedings (including any actions taken by written consent or

    directors of IFS and all committees of the board of directors of IFS.

There have been no meetings or other proceedings of the stockholders of IFS, the
board of directors of IFS or any committee of the board of directors of IFS that
are not fully reflected in such minutes or other records.

           (b)    There has not been any violation of any of the provisions of
IFS's certificate of incorporation or bylaws or of any resolution adopted by
IFS's stockholders, IFS's board of directors or any committee of IFS's board of
directors; and no event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists,
that might (with or without notice or lapse of time) constitute or result
directly or indirectly in such a violation.

           (c)    The books of account, stock records, minute books and other
records of IFS are accurate, up-to-date and complete, and have been maintained
in accordance with sound and prudent business practices.  All of the records of
IFS are in the actual possession or under direct control of IFS.  IFS has in
place, and IFS has at all times had in place, an adequate and appropriate system
of internal controls which is at least as comprehensive and effective as the
systems of internal controls customarily maintained by Comparable Entities.

    3.2    CAPITALIZATION, ETC.

           (a)    The authorized capital stock of IFS consists of:

                  (i)    500 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.01
    per share, of which 20 shares (constituting all of the Shares) have been
    issued and are outstanding; and

                  (ii)   500 shares of preferred stock having a par value of
    $500.00 per share, 150 of which are issued and outstanding.

           (b)    The Selling Stockholder has, and the Purchaser will acquire
at the Closing, good and valid title to the Shares free and clear of any
Encumbrances.  The Selling Stockholder owns, beneficially and of record, 20
Shares of Common Stock.


                                          5.




           (c)    All of the Shares (i) have been duly authorized and validly
issued, (ii) are fully paid and non-assessable, and (iii) have been issued in
full compliance with all applicable securities laws and other applicable Legal
Requirements.  The Selling Stockholder has delivered to the Purchaser accurate
and complete copies of the stock certificates evidencing the Shares.

           (d)    There is no:

                  (i)    outstanding subscription, option, call, warrant or
    right (whether or not currently exercisable) to acquire any shares of the
    capital stock or other securities of IFS;

                  (ii)   outstanding security, instrument or obligation that is
    or may become convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of the
    capital stock or other securities of IFS;

                  (iii)  Contract under which IFS is or may become obligated to
    sell or otherwise issue any shares of its capital stock or any other
    securities; or

                  (iv)   condition or circumstance that may directly or
    indirectly give rise to or provide a basis for the assertion of a claim by
    any Person to the effect that such Person is entitled to acquire or receive
    any shares of capital stock or other securities of IFS.

           (e)    Except as set forth in Part 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedule,
IFS has never repurchased, redeemed or otherwise reacquired any shares of
capital stock or other securities.  All securities so reacquired by IFS were
reacquired in full compliance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and with all other applicable Legal Requirements.

    3.3    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

           (a)    The Selling Stockholder shall have caused IFS to deliver to
the Purchaser the following financial statements and notes (collectively, the
'IFS Financial Statements'):

                  (i)    the unaudited balance sheets of IFS as of December 31,
    1993, 1994 and 1995 and the related unaudited statements of operations; and

                  (ii)   the unaudited balance sheet of IFS as of September 30,
    1996 (the 'Unaudited Interim Balance Sheet'), and the related unaudited
    statements of operations.

           (b)    To the best of the Selling Stockholder's knowledge, all of
the IFS Financial Statements are accurate and complete in all respects, and the
dollar amount of each line item included in the IFS Financial Statements is
accurate in all respects.  The financial statements and notes referred to in
Section 3.3(a)(i) present fairly the financial position of IFS as of December
31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 and the consolidated results of operations of IFS for
the year then ended.  The financial statements and notes referred to in
Sections 3.3(a)(ii)


                                          6.




presents fairly the financial position of IFS as of the respective dates thereof
and the results of operations for the periods covered thereby.  The IFS
Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods
covered.

    3.4    ABSENCE OF CHANGES.  To the best of the Selling Stockholder's
knowledge, except as set forth in Part 3.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, since
September 30, 1996, there has not been any adverse change in IFS's business,
condition, assets, liabilities, operations, financial performance, net income or
prospects (or in any aspect or portion thereof), and no event has occurred that
might have an adverse effect on IFS's business, condition, assets, liabilities,
operations, financial performance, net income or prospects (or on any aspect or
portion thereof);

    3.5    CONTRACTS.

           (a)    Part 3.5 of the Disclosure Schedule identifies and provides
an accurate and complete description of each material IFS Contract.  The only
material contracts to which IFS is a party are contracts with Federal or State
governments (the 'Government Contracts').  IFS has delivered to the Purchaser
accurate and complete copies of all Government Contracts identified in Part 3.5
of the Disclosure Schedule, including all amendments thereto.

           (b)    Each Government Contract is valid and in full force and
effect, and is enforceable by IFS in accordance with its terms.

    3.6    COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

           (a)    To the best of the Selling Stockholder's knowledge, except as
set forth in Part 3.6 of the Disclosure Schedule, IFS has not received, at any
time, any notice or other communication (in writing or otherwise) from any
Governmental Body or any other Person regarding (i) any actual, alleged,
possible or potential violation of, or failure to comply with, any Legal
Requirement, or (ii) any actual, alleged, possible or potential obligation on
the part of IFS to undertake, or to bear all or any portion of the cost of, any
cleanup or any remedial, corrective or response action of any nature.

           (b)    The Selling Stockholder has caused IFS to deliver to the
Purchaser an accurate and complete copy of each report, study, survey or other
document to which IFS has access that addresses or otherwise relates to the
compliance of IFS with, or the applicability to any of the Companies of, any
Legal Requirement.

    3.7    NON-CONTRAVENTION; CONSENTS.  Except as set forth in Part 3.7 of the
Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of any of the
Transactional Agreements, nor the consummation or performance of any of the
Transactions, will directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of
time):

           (a)    contravene, conflict with or result in a violation of (i) any
    of the provisions of IFS's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or
    (ii) any resolution adopted


                                          7.

           (a)    The Selling Stockholder shall hold harmless and indemnify
each of the Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse
each of the Indemnitees for, any Damages which are directly or indirectly
suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees or to which any of the

                                         12.




whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise
directly or indirectly from or as a direct or indirect result of, or are
directly or indirectly connected with:

                  (i)    any Breach, resulting from the Selling Stockholder's
    intentional misrepresentation, fraud or gross negligence, of any
    representation or warranty made by the Selling Stockholder in this
    Agreement or in the Closing Certificate;

                  (ii)   any Breach, resulting from the Selling Stockholder's
    intentional misrepresentation, fraud or gross negligence, of any
    representation, warranty, statement, information or provision contained in
    the Disclosure Schedule or in any other document delivered or otherwise
    made available to the Purchaser or any of its Representatives on behalf of
    IFS or any of IFS's Representatives;

                  (iii)  any Breach, resulting from the Selling Stockholder's
    intentional misrepresentation, fraud or gross negligence, of any covenant
    or obligation of the Selling Stockholder;

                  (iv)   any matter identified or referred to in Part 3.6 of
    the Disclosure Schedule, Damages resulting from which are due to the
    Selling Stockholder's intentional misrepresentation, fraud and gross
    negligence; or

    Breach, alleged Breach, Liability or matter of the type referred to in
    clause '(i),' '(ii),' '(iii),' or '(iv),' above (including any Proceeding

    under this Section 8).

           (b)    The Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that, if
there is any Breach, resulting from the Selling Stockholder's intentional
misrepresentation, fraud or gross negligence, of any representation, warranty or
other provision relating to IFS or IFS's business, condition, assets,
liabilities, operations, financial performance, net income or prospects (or any
aspect or portion thereof), then the Purchaser itself shall be deemed, by virtue
of its ownership of common stock of IFS, to have incurred Damages as a result of
such Breach or Liability.  Nothing contained in this Section 8.2(b) shall have
the effect of (i) limiting the circumstances under which the Purchaser may
otherwise be deemed to have incurred Damages for purposes of this Agreement,
(ii) limiting the other types of Damages that the Purchaser may be deemed to
have incurred (whether in connection with any such Breach or Liability or
otherwise).

may in good faith request for the purpose of causing such Breach to be
corrected, cured and eliminated in all respects (at no cost to the Purchaser).

    8.4    NO CONTRIBUTION.  The Selling Stockholder waives, and acknowledges
and agrees that he shall not have and shall not exercise or assert or attempt to
exercise or assert, any right


                                         13.




of contribution or right of indemnity or any other right or remedy against IFS
in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other  Liability to
which the Selling Stockholder may become subject under any of the Transactional
Agreements or otherwise in connection with any of the Transactions.

    8.5    INTEREST.  Any party that is required to indemnify any other Person
pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to any Damages shall also be required to
pay such other Person interest on the amount of such Damages (for the period
commencing as of the date on which such other Person first incurred or otherwise
became subject to such Damages and ending on the date on which the applicable
indemnification payment is made by such party) at a floating rate two percentage
points above the rate of interest publicly announced by Bank of America from
time to time as its prime rate.

    8.6    NONEXCLUSIVITY OF INDEMNIFICATION REMEDIES.  The indemnification
remedies and other remedies provided in this Section 8 shall not be deemed to be
exclusive.  Accordingly, the exercise by any Person of any of its rights under
this Section 8 shall not be deemed to be an election of remedies and shall not
be deemed to prejudice, or to constitute or operate as a waiver of, any other
right or remedy that such Person may be entitled to exercise (whether under this
Agreement, under any other Contract, under any statute, rule or other Legal
Requirement, at common law, in equity or otherwise).
