Dear Sirs:

      MCSi, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("PARENT"), proposes to make an offer
to exchange shares of common stock, without par value (the "PARENT SHARES"), of
Parent for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, without par value (the
"SHARES"), that it does not own of Zengine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY"). Such exchange offer, as it may be amended or supplemented from time
to time, including any extension thereof, is hereinafter referred to as the
"EXCHANGE OFFER."

      As soon as practicable on the date of commencement of the Exchange Offer,
Parent shall have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"COMMISSION") a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "OFFER REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") to register the Parent Shares to be issued pursuant to the Exchange
Offer and the subsequent merger of the Company with and into Parent. The Offer
Registration Statement will include a preliminary prospectus (the "PRELIMINARY
PROSPECTUS") containing the information required under Rule 14d-4(b) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, and including the rules
and regulations thereunder, the "1934 ACT"). As soon as practicable on the date
of commencement of the Exchange Offer, Parent shall have filed with the
Commission a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended from time to
time, including the several exhibits thereto that will be identified therein,
the "SCHEDULE") with respect to the Exchange Offer, which will contain or
incorporate by reference all or part of the Preliminary Prospectus and the form
of the related Letter of Transmittal (the "LT"). The Schedule, the LT, the Offer
Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, all statements and other
documents filed or to be filed by or on behalf of the Company or Parent with any
federal or state regulatory authority relating to the Exchange Offer (including
without limitation the prospectus filed as part of the Offer Registration
Statement at the time of its effectiveness) and all other documents (including
press releases, advertisements and other communications, whether created or
released prior to or after the execution of this Agreement) as Parent or the
Company authorizes for use in connection with the solicitation of exchanges of

      Parent and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT"), dated as of October 4, 2001,
providing, among other things, for the making of the Exchange Offer and for a
subsequent merger of the Company with and into Parent (the "MERGER"), pursuant
to which each outstanding Share (other than Shares owned by Parent or any of its
subsidiaries, Shares held in the Company's treasury, and Shares held by
stockholders who perfect dissenters' rights under Delaware law) will be
converted into the right to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable Parent Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, as
defined in the Reorganization Agreement. All agreements (including, but not
limited to, the Reorganization Agreement) relating to the Merger and all other
statements and other documents to be filed with any federal or state regulatory
authority relating to the Merger and such other documents as the Company or
Parent authorizes for use in connection with the Merger are each hereinafter
referred to as a "MERGER DOCUMENT" and are collectively referred to as the
"MERGER DOCUMENTS." The Merger Documents, together with the Exchange Offer
Documents, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "ACQUISITION
DOCUMENTS." The Exchange Offer Transactions and the Merger are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "ACQUISITION."

1.    Appointment, Fees and Expenses.

      A.    You are hereby appointed to act as sole Dealer Manager (you being
            sometimes hereinafter referred to in that capacity as "DEALER
            MANAGER") with respect to the Exchange Offer.  You agree that
            after you are advised by Parent of the commencement of the
            Exchange Offer, you will use reasonable efforts as Dealer Manager
            to solicit exchanges of Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer and
            to communicate with brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust
            companies (each a "DEALER") with respect to the Exchange Offer in
            accordance with your customary practice.  You and Parent agree
            that in communicating with Dealers or soliciting or obtaining
            exchanges, you shall not be deemed to be acting as the agent of
            Parent or any of its affiliates and neither Parent nor any of its
            affiliates shall be deemed to be acting as your agent.  In
            soliciting or obtaining exchanges, you shall not be deemed for
            any purpose to act as a partner or joint venturer or a member of
            a syndicate or group with Parent or any of its affiliates in
            connection with the Exchange Offer, any exchange for the Shares
            or otherwise.  No Dealer is to be deemed to be acting as your
            agent or as the agent of Parent, and you are not to be deemed the
            agent of any Dealer.  The Parent shall have sole authority for
            the acceptance or rejection of any and all exchanges.

      B.    As compensation for your services as Dealer Manager, Parent
            agrees to pay you as Dealer Manager a fee equal to $0.05 per
            Share tendered, not withdrawn and accepted pursuant to the
            Exchange Offer.  The obligation of Parent to pay you the fees set
            forth in this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not by way
            of limitation of, any fees payable to you pursuant to the letter
            agreement dated September 11, 2001 (the "ENGAGEMENT LETTER")
            between Parent and you relating to the Acquisition.

                                       2
<Page>

      C.    Without limiting the provisions of the Engagement Letter
            regarding the reimbursement of expenses, Parent agrees to pay or
            reimburse you as Dealer Manager and your affiliates and Dealers
            and other nominees for all expenses incurred by any of them in
            respect of (i) all expenses incurred in connection with the
            preparation, printing, filing, mailing and publishing of all
            documents pertaining to the Exchange Offer, including all
            Exchange Offer Documents, (ii) all fees and expenses of the
            Exchange Agent and the Information Agent referred to in the
            Preliminary Prospectus paid by you, (iii) all advertising charges
            in connection with the Exchange Offer and (iv) all other
            reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by you
            in connection with the Exchange Offer or your services as Dealer
            Manager hereunder (including all reasonable and documented fees
            and disbursements of counsel to be retained by you) (unless in
            any such case such expenses have been charged to Parent in
            accordance with the Engagement Letter).  All payments to be made
            by Parent pursuant to this paragraph C shall be made promptly
            after receipt of an invoice from you.

      D.    Parent shall be liable for (i) the expenses set forth in Section
            1.C. and for (ii) its indemnity obligations to you and the other
            persons indemnified under Section 6 hereof, whether or not the
            Exchange Offer is commenced or Parent or any of its affiliates
            acquires any Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer or otherwise,
            regardless of whether you withdraw as Dealer Manager as permitted
            hereunder (which withdrawal shall be without any liability or
            penalty to you) and regardless of whether this Agreement is
            eventually terminated.

2.    COVENANTS OF PARENT.  Parent hereby further agrees that:

      A.    Prior to and during the period of the Exchange Offer, except upon
            reasonable prior notice to you and after giving reasonable
            consideration to you and your counsel's comments, Parent will
            not use, permit the use of or file with any governmental or
            regulatory agency any Exchange Offer Document other than in, and
            will make no amendments or supplements to or material changes in
            or additions to any Acquisition Document from, the form last
            furnished to you and to your counsel.  In the event that Parent
            uses or permits the use of or files with any governmental or
            regulatory agency any material in contravention of the foregoing,
            or in respect of which you or your counsel has made comments but
            which comments have not resulted in a response satisfactory to
            you and your counsel, you shall be entitled to withdraw as Dealer
            Manager without any liability or penalty to you, and you shall
            remain entitled to receive the payment of all fees (except as set
            forth in the immediately following sentence) and expenses to
            which you are entitled under this Agreement and the Engagement
            Letter.  If you withdraw as Dealer Manager for any reason under
            this Agreement:  (i) prior to the commencement of the tender
            offer, you shall not be entitled to any fees; (ii) after the
            commencement of the tender but before the expiration of the
            tender offer, you shall be entitled only to fees relating to
            Shares tendered prior to the date of your withdrawal and which
            are subsequently accepted; (iii) after the expiration of the

                                       3
<Page>

            tender offer but before the effective date of the merger, you
            shall be entitled only to fees relating to Shares tendered and
            accepted by Parent; or (iv) after the effective date of the
            merger, you shall be entitled to fees relating to all Shares
            accepted by Parent.  If you withdraw as Dealer Manager, the fees
            accrued and reimbursement for your expenses through the date of
            such withdrawal shall be paid to you promptly after receipt of an
            invoice from you.

      B.    Prior to and during the period of the Exchange Offer, Parent will
            advise you promptly after Parent receives notice or becomes aware
            of (1) the happening of any event, or the discovery of any fact,
            which it believes would require the making of any change in any
            Exchange Offer Document then being used or would affect the truth
            or correctness of any material statement, representation or
            warranty contained in this Agreement if such representation or
            warranty were being made immediately after the happening of such
            event or the discovery of such fact, (2) the happening of any
            event which could cause Parent to withdraw, rescind or terminate
            the Exchange Offer or would permit Parent to exercise any right
            not to exchange Shares tendered thereunder, (3) any proposal or
            requirement to amend or supplement any Exchange Offer Document or
            any other filing required by the 1934 Act or to make any filing
            pursuant to any other applicable law, (4) the issuance by the
            Commission or any state or other federal authority of any formal
            comment or order or the taking of any other action concerning the
            Exchange Offer (and, if in writing, Parent will furnish you with
            a copy thereof), (5) any material developments in connection with
            the Exchange Offer or the registration of Parent Shares related
            thereto, including, without limitation, the commencement of any
            lawsuit concerning the Exchange Offer and (6) any other
            information relating to the Exchange Offer that you may
            reasonably request.  Parent will file and disseminate, as
            required, any and all necessary amendments to the Exchange Offer
            Documents and will promptly furnish to you true and accurate
            copies of each such amendment upon the filing thereof.

      C.    Parent agrees to furnish you with as many copies as you may
            reasonably request of the final forms of the Exchange Offer
            Documents and you are authorized to use copies of the final forms
            of the Exchange Offer Documents.  Parent will cause you to be
            provided with any cards or lists they may receive from the
            Company showing the names and addresses of, and the number of
            Shares held by, the holders of Shares as of a recent date and
            will endeavor to cause you to be advised from day to day during
            the period of the Exchange Offer as to any transfers of record of
            the Shares known to Parent.  Parent has appointed, and authorizes
            you to communicate with, Registrar and Transfer Company, in its
            capacity as Exchange Agent, and MacKenzie Partners, Inc., in its
            capacity as Information Agent, in connection with the Exchange
            Offer and has instructed the Exchange Agent to advise you at
            least daily as to such matters as you may reasonably request.

            the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (3)
            any breach or alleged breach by Parent of its representations,
            warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or any
            Exchange Offer Document, to the extent applicable, (4) any
            failure to commence or any withdrawal, termination or
            cancellation of, the Acquisition and any failure to exchange any
            Shares properly tendered under the Exchange Offer for any reason
            whatsoever, or (5) in any other respect, the Exchange Offer or
            your engagement hereunder or in connection therewith.  Parent
            shall not, however, be obligated to indemnify any such
            Indemnified Person under this Section 6 in any such case (x) to
            the extent, and only to the extent, that any such loss, claim,
            damage, liability or expense is attributable to claims arising
            out of, or based upon, any untrue statement of any material fact
            in any Exchange Offer Document or any omission to state any
            material fact required to be stated in any Exchange Offer
            Document, or necessary to make the statements made therein, in
            light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
            misleading, if, in any such case, such statement or omission was
            made in any Exchange Offer Document in reliance upon and in
            conformity with written information prepared by you or any
            Indemnified Person or on your behalf or on behalf of any

                                       8
<Page>

            Indemnified Person and furnished by you or any Indemnified Person
            or on your behalf or on behalf of any Indemnified Person to
            Parent specifically for inclusion in such Exchange Offer
            Document, and (y) in the case of a claim for indemnity under
            clause (5) above, with respect to any claim, loss, damage,
            expense or liability that arises primarily out of, or is based
            primarily upon, any action, or failure to take action, by you or
            any Indemnified Person (other than any action, or failure to take
            action, at the request or with the consent of, or in conformity
            with actions taken or omitted to be taken by, Parent) that is
            finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from the
            (i) knowing and willful violation of applicable law, regulation
            or rule of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
            or the Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) gross negligence or (iii)
            willful misconduct, of such Indemnified Person.  No Indemnified
            Person shall have any liability to Parent for or in connection
            with your engagement hereunder except for such liability for
            losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by
            Parent for or in connection with your engagement hereunder which
            is finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from
            the (i) knowing and willful violation of applicable law,
            regulation or rule of the National Association of Securities
            Dealers, Inc. or the Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) gross negligence
            or (iii) willful misconduct, of such Indemnified Person.

      B.    After receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any complaint
            or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to
            which indemnification is being sought hereunder, such Indemnified
            Person will promptly notify us in writing of such complaint or of
            the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so
            notify us will relieve us from any liability which we may have
            hereunder only if, and to the extent that, such failure results
            in the forfeiture by us of substantial rights and defenses, and
            will not in any event relieve us from any other obligation or
            liability that we may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise
            than under this Agreement.  If we so elect or are requested by
            such Indemnified Person, we will assume the defense of such
            action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel
            reasonably satisfactory to you and the payment of the fees and
            disbursements of such counsel.  In the event, however, such
            Indemnified Person reasonably determines in its judgment (after
            consultation with counsel) that having common counsel would
            present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the
            defendants in, or targets of, any such action or proceeding
            include both an Indemnified Person and Parent, and such
            Indemnified Person reasonably concludes (after consultation with
            counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or
            other Indemnified Persons that are different from or in addition
            to those available to Parent, or if we fail to assume the defense
            of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably
            satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, in either case in a
            timely manner, then such Indemnified Person may employ separate
            counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or
            proceeding and Parent will pay the reasonable and documented fees
            and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that we
            will not be required to

                                       9
<Page>

            pay the fees, disbursements and costs of more than one separate
            counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified
            Persons in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding.
            In any action or proceeding the defense of which we assume, the
            Indemnified Person will have the right to participate in such
            litigation and to retain its own counsel at such Indemnified
            Person's own expense.  Parent further agrees that we will not,
            without your prior written consent, settle or compromise or
            consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened
            claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
            indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether
            or not you or any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential
            party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such
            settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
            release of you and each other applicable Indemnified Person
            hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action
            suit or proceeding.  Parent shall not be liable for any
            settlement of any litigation or proceeding effected without the
            written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be
            unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if
            there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Parent agrees,
            subject to the provisions of this Section 6, to indemnify the
            Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by
            reason of such settlement or judgment.  Parent agrees to notify
            you promptly of the assertion of any claim in connection with the
            Acquisition against any of its officers or directors or any
            person who controls Parent within the meaning of Section 20(a) of
            the 1934 Act.

      C.    Parent  agrees that if any indemnification sought by an
            Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement is held by a court
            to be unavailable for any reason other than as specified in the
            second sentence of paragraph A of this Section 6, then (whether
            or not you are the Indemnified Person), Parent and the
            Indemnified Person will contribute to the losses, claims,
            damages, liabilities and expenses for which such indemnification
            is held unavailable in such proportion as is appropriate to
            reflect the relative fault of Parent, on the one hand, and of the
            Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any other
            relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in any
            event, the aggregate contribution of all Indemnified Persons,
            including you, to all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
            expenses with respect to which contribution is available
            hereunder will not exceed the amount of fees actually received by
            you from us pursuant to your engagement hereunder.  It is hereby
            agreed that for purposes of this paragraph C that it would not be
            just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6
            were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
            allocation which does not take account of the equitable
            considerations referred to in this paragraph.

      D.    Parent hereby agrees to reimburse you and any other Indemnified
            Person hereunder for all expenses (including reasonable and
            documented fees and disbursements of counsel), from time to time,
            as they are incurred by you or such other Indemnified Person in
            connection with investigating, preparing for or defending, or
            providing evidence in, any pending or threatened action, claim,
            suit

                                      10
<Page>

            or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution
            may be sought hereunder (whether or not you or any other
            Indemnified Person is a party) and in enforcing this Agreement
            (unless and until it is finally judicially determined that Parent
            is not liable hereunder for such expenses).

      E.    Parent's  indemnity, contribution, reimbursement and other
            obligations under this Agreement shall be in addition to any
            liability that Parent may otherwise have, at common law or
            otherwise.  Solely for purposes of enforcing this Agreement, we
            hereby consent to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any
            court in which any claim or proceeding which is subject to, or
            which may give rise to a claim for indemnification or
            contribution under, this Agreement is brought against you or any
            other Indemnified Person.

7.    Miscellaneous.

      A.    This Agreement has been, and is, made solely for the benefit of
            you, Parent, the other indemnified persons referred to in Section
            6 hereof and your and their respective successors, assigns,
            executors and administrators, and no other person shall acquire
            or have any right under, or by virtue of, this Agreement.  You
            shall not have any liability or obligation to Parent for any act
            or omission of any Dealer or person employed by Parent, and,
            except as otherwise set forth herein, you undertake no obligation
            to Parent other than for the performance of your express
            representations, warranties and agreements hereunder.

      B.    The representations, warranties, agreements and indemnities of
            Parent contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and
            effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
            you or Parent, whether or not such investigation, if diligently
            made, would have disclosed facts upon which any breach of
            representation, warranty or agreement is or may be based or
            indemnification sought, and shall survive the exchange by Parent
            (or any affiliate of Parent) for Shares pursuant to the Exchange
            Offer and the consummation of the Acquisition, any withdrawal,
            termination or cancellation of, or failure to commence, the
            Exchange Offer (whether or not Shares are exchanged or this
            Agreement is eventually terminated) or the Merger for any reason
            whatsoever, and any withdrawal by you as Dealer Manager and
            financial advisor pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, in
            each such case until a period of three (3) years after the
            expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (it being
            agreed and understood that the aforementioned expiration shall
            have no effect whatsoever on any indemnification claim made to
            Parent prior to such expiration).

      C.    This Agreement shall be deemed made in Illinois.  This Agreement
            and all controversies arising from or relating to performance
            under this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
            accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving
            effect to Illinois' rules concerning conflicts of laws.  Solely
            for purposes of enforcing this Agreement, each of the parties
            hereto hereby

                                      11
<Page>

            (i) irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in
            any court in Cook County, Illinois or any Federal court sitting
            in the Northern District of Illinois for the purposes of any
            suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or
            any of the agreements or transactions contemplated hereby, which
            is brought by or against such parties, (ii) agree that all claims
            in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be heard
            and determined in any such court, (iii) waive the defense of an
            inconvenient forum and (iv) agree that a final judgment in any
            such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
            in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
            manner provide by law.  Each of the parties hereto hereby
            irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the
            aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by
            the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail,
            postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in
            paragraph E of this Section 7, such service to become effective
            ten (10) days after such mailing. ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH
            RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
            CONDUCT IN CONNECTION HEREWITH IS HEREBY WAIVED.

      D.    So long as the economic or legal substance of the Exchange Offer
            and the agreements contained herein are not affected in any
            manner adverse to you, any term or provision of this Agreement
            which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
            to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
            invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or
            unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
            Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of
            the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other
            jurisdiction.
