             CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF ODYSSEY HEALTHCARE, INC.

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (the "First Amendment") to the Warrants to
Purchase Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Odyssey HealthCare, Inc. dated
May 22, 1998 (the "Warrants"), is entered into effective as of November 30,
2000, by and among Odyssey HealthCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and the holders of the Warrants signatory hereto (the "Holders").

                                    RECITALS:

A.       On May 22, 1998, the Company issued the Warrants pursuant to the terms
         of the Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of May
         22, 1998 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, the
         Holders and the other parties thereto.

B.       The Company and the Holders desire to amend the terms and provisions of
         the Warrants as hereinafter set forth.

C.       Section 13 of the Warrants provides that any term of the Warrants may
         be amended with the written consent of the Company and the holders of
         more than 50% of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the
         Company issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants outstanding as
         of the date hereof.

D.       As of the date of this First Amendment, the Holders hold, in the
         aggregate, more than 50% of the shares of the Series B Convertible
         Preferred Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
         outstanding as of the date hereof.

E.       Any capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined herein,
         shall have the meaning set forth in the Warrants.

                                   AGREEMENTS:

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements
herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

         Section 1 of the Warrants is hereby amended and restated to read in its
entirety as follows:

         1. Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
         set forth and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Holder is
         entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
         Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the holder
         hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company up to the number of
         fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
         Stock of the Company for which this Warrant was originally exercisable
         on May 22, 1998, as adjusted pursuant to Section 8 of this Warrant and
         for any exercises of this Warrant before the date of the First

<PAGE>   2

         Amendment (the "Preferred Stock"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from
         and after the date of the completion of the first underwritten public
         offering of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common
         Stock"), of the Company (a "Public Offering"), this Warrant shall be
         exercisable for up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
         number of shares of Preferred Stock for which this Warrant was
         originally exercisable on May 22, 1998, as adjusted pursuant to Section
         8 of this Warrant and for any exercises of this Warrant before the date
         of the First Amendment. From and after the date of the completion of a
         Public Offering, 1.1.1.1.1. this Warrant shall no longer be exercisable
         to purchase shares of Preferred Stock and 1.1.1.1.2. all references to
         "Preferred Stock" in this Warrant, other than in this Section 1, shall
         be replaced automatically with "Common Stock." The number of shares of
         Preferred Stock or Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 1
         (the "Shares") shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8
         hereof.

         2. From and after the completion of a Public Offering, the last
paragraph of Section 5 of the Warrants shall be amended and restated to read in
its entirety as follows:

         For purposes of this Section 5, the fair market value of one share of
         Common Stock as of a particular date shall be determined in good faith
         by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, that if there is a
         public trading market for the Company's Common Stock the value will be
         the closing price of such shares on the day before the date of
         exercise.

         3. In accordance with Sections 13 and 14 of the Warrants, this First
Amendment shall be deemed to be an amendment to each Warrant and shall be
binding on all holders of Warrants, whether or not such holder is a signatory to
this First Amendment.

         4. Except as herein specifically amended or supplemented, the Warrants
shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

         5. This First Amendment may be executed and delivered (including by
facsimile transmission) in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one
agreement, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same
counterpart.

         6. This First Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Texas as applied to agreements among Texas residents made and to be performed
entirely within the State of Texas.

and engage in other promotional activities (as defined below) for the

ZixIt International Distribution Agreement                          Page 1 of 10

<PAGE>   2

ZixIt Software/Service throughout the world. ZixIt will notify Distributor if
ZixIt is working with these other distributors in relation to a prospect located
in the Territory. ZixIt and Distributor will negotiate the compensation payable
to Distributor, if any, arising from these situations. As the exclusive
distributor, Distributor shall have the right to locate Eligible Customers in
the Territory to use the ZixIt Software/Service and to provide support relating
to the ZixIt Software/Service in the Territory. Without the prior written
approval of ZixIt in each instance, Distributor's sales efforts and contacts and
support services shall be limited to the Territory. Distributor shall not
initiate or continue any sales efforts, contacts, or support efforts with
respect to the ZixIt Software/Service outside the Territory without the prior
written approval of ZixIt in each instance. Distributor agrees to use its best
efforts to locate Eligible Customers in the Territory to use the ZixIt
Software/Service. Distributor may establish relationships with dealers,
distributors, integrators, value-added resellers and other third parties
(collectively, "Third-Party Representatives") for the promotion, sale and/or
distribution of the ZixIt Software/Service on behalf of Distributor within the
Territory, provided: (i) Distributor registers the Third-Party Representative
with ZixIt in writing and in accordance with ZixIt's then-current registration
procedures, no less than 30 days in advance of establishing such a relationship;
(ii) Distributor is solely responsible for any compensation owed to Third-Party
Representatives; (iii) Distributor is solely responsible for and shall insure
the Third-Party Representative's compliance with the terms of this Agreement;
and (iv) Distributor is solely liable for, and shall indemnify ZixIt from any
liability associated with, the actions of its Third-Party Representatives
(including any breach of this Agreement). ZixIt shall not directly or indirectly
market the ZixIt Software/Service to prospects located in the Territory, except
that ZixIt and its other distributors shall be permitted to market, promote,
license, sell and/or distribute (collectively, "promotional activities")
licenses to use the ZixIt Software/Service to any prospect for the prospect's
use anywhere in the world so long as ZixIt's promotional activities are directed
toward the prospect's operations outside of the Territory.

     2.2 Contracts with Eligible Customers. Distributor will contract directly
with the Eligible Customers to provide the ZixIt Software/Service. Distributor
will include in every license and services agreement with its customers the
terms and conditions that are specified by ZixIt from time-to-time. ZixIt will
provide to Distributor an English version of a sample form of license and
services agreement. Distributor may suggest changes to this English version for
the purposes of creating a suitable version for use in the Territory.
Distributor and ZixIt will then jointly develop a Japanese version of the form
of license and services agreement to be used by Distributor. Any further changes
to the form of license and services agreement are to be approved by ZixIt.

     2.3 Provision of ZixMail Software/Service. ZixIt will provide the ZixIt
Software/Service to Distributor for the benefit of the Eligible Customers and
their users. The terms and conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B shall apply
to the provision of the ZixIt Software/Service by ZixIt to Distributor. ZixIt
may change the terms and conditions by providing Distributor a revised Exhibit B
at least five days prior to the effective date of the new terms and conditions.
The provision of the ZixIt Software/Service subsequent to such effective date
shall be governed by the revised terms and conditions.

     2.4 Billing; Collection of Accounts Receivable. Distributor shall be
responsible for billing to, and collecting from, its Eligible Customers for the
use of the ZixMail Software/Service. Distributor shall be obligated to pay ZixIt
the amounts owed pursuant to Subsection 3.1, regardless of whether or not
Distributor's customers actually pay Distributor.

     2.5 Promotional Materials. ZixIt will provide a Japanese translation of the
ZixIt corporate brochure, the ZixMail product "white paper," and a "fact sheet"
discussing email vulnerability. All materials referencing the ZixIt
Software/Service distributed by Distributor shall include ZixIt's brand name and
product logos in a manner as prominent as Distributor's brand name and logos and
will include such proprietary, trademark, service mark, and patent protection
notices as ZixIt may require. All of Distributor's promotional materials,
including any English materials Distributor desires to translate, are to be
submitted to ZixIt for approval prior to use. Distributor shall never take any
action that is inconsistent with ZixIt's proprietary rights in ZixIt's brand
name and product logos. Distributor agrees to allow ZixIt to use Distributor's
logos and trademarks in ZixIt promotional activities with respect to the ZixIt
Software/Service. Distributor must use all trade names or marks used by ZixIt to
identify the ZixIt Software/Service, in accordance with ZixIt's most current
requirements, whenever identifying the ZixIt Software/Service, however, all such
marks and names shall remain the sole and exclusive property of ZixIt. ZixIt
shall have the right to identify Distributor as a distributor of the ZixIt
Software/Service in its advertising and promotional materials.

     2.6 Governmental Approvals. Distributor shall be solely responsible for
securing, and paying for, any governmental approvals required in connection with
the licensing and use of the ZixIt Software/Service in the Territory, including
import and use licenses. ZixIt shall provide reasonable technical support to
Distributor in securing these governmental approvals.

     2.7 Performance Review. At the later of (a) two and a half (2 1/2) years
following the Effective Date or (b) two (2) years following the delivery to
Distributor of a Japanese version of the ZixMail Software/Service (the
"Evaluation Date"), ZixIt will evaluate Distributor's performance under this
Agreement. If, as of the Evaluation Date, Distributor has not contracted with at
least 200,000 paying email addresses to use the ZixMail Software/Service, then
ZixIt may, in its sole discretion, convert Distributor's distribution
arrangement hereunder to a non-exclusive distribution arrangement.

3    FEES.

     3.1 ZixMail Fees Payable to ZixIt. Distributor will pay to ZixIt a Services
Fee equal to the greater of (a) 35% of the license and services fees that
Distributor contracts with Eligible Customers to provide the ZixIt
Software/Service (calculated in U.S. $ by using the average daily conversion
rate for the applicable quarter) or (b) U.S. $8.40 on an annualized basis per
each email

address of an Eligible Customer for which there are active ZixMail encryption
codes hosted by the ZixIt worldwide signature server; subject to the following:

          For example:

          o    Assume Distributor charges $40 annually for the ZixMail(TM)
               license. Distributor owes ZixIt an annual Services Fee of $14
               (35% of $40).

          o    Assume Distributor charges $20 annually for the ZixMail(TM)
               license. Distributor owes ZixIt an annual Services Fee of $8.40
               (35% of $20 equals $7.00, which is below the minimum).

     o    During the Term, Distributor shall not be obligated to make any
          payment of Services Fees unless the cumulative fees earned by ZixIt
          exceed the cumulative payments made by Distributor.

     Other than as provided in this Subsection 3.1 above, the Services Fees will
be paid by Distributor within 30 days following the end of the quarter in which
Distributor signed the contract for the ZixIt Software/Service.

     3.2 Guaranteed Services Fees Payable to ZixIt. Distributor agrees to pay to
ZixIt a Guaranteed Services Fee (herein so called) of $1.2 Million, which is
paid as follows until the cumulative payments made by Distributor during the
Term equal $1.2 Million:

     o    a $200,000 guaranteed payment for the first year of the Term, of which
          $100,000 is due and payable within 30 days of the Effective Date and
          $100,000 is due and payable on April 1, 2002, plus

     o    a $400,000 guaranteed payment for the second year of the Term, which
          is due and payable in four equal quarterly installments of $100,000,
          with the first such installment due and payable on the first year
          anniversary of the Effective Date, plus

     o    a $600,000 guaranteed payment for the third year of the Term, which is
          due and payable in four equally quarterly installments of $150,000,
          with the first such installment due and payable on the second year
          anniversary of the Effective Date.

     3.3 Distributor Service Fees. Distributor shall pay to ZixIt 10% of any
fees (net of taxes) contracted for by Distributor during the Term for support,
training, installation, maintenance or related services that Distributor
provides to Eligible Customers in connection with the licensing of ZixMail(TM).
These Distributor Services Fees will be paid by Distributor within 30 days
following the end of the quarter in which Distributor signed the contract for
the Distributor Service.

     3.4 Taxes; Duties; Customs Fees. Distributor shall be responsible for
payment of any fees, sales, use, gross receipts, value added, property or other
taxes, duties, or customs fees that are levied on the sale, use, import, or
license of the ZixIt Software/Service to Eligible Customers and its users,
however designated, levied, or based by any authority (except any tax based on
ZixIt's net income). Distributor shall reimburse ZixIt for such taxes, duties,
or customs fees whenever ZixIt is

law.
