Dear Sirs:
 
    You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of
view to the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10
per share (the "Shares"), of BRC Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") of the
consideration to be received by such stockholders pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, to be dated as of October 19, 1998 (the
"Agreement"), by and among Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. ("Buyer"), ACS
Acquisition Corporation ("MergerCo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer, and
the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, MergerCo will commence a tender offer
(the "Tender Offer") for 51% of outstanding Shares at a price of $19.00 in cash
per Share (the "Offer Price"). The Tender Offer is to be followed by a merger
(the "Merger") of MergerCo with and into the Company in which the Shares not
tendered into the Tender Offer would be converted, subject to certain
exceptions, into the right to receive the Offer Price. The Tender Offer,
together with the Merger, is referred to herein as the "Transaction".
 
    In arriving at our opinion, we have reviewed the draft dated October 15,
1998 of the Agreement. We also have reviewed financial and other information
that was publicly available or furnished to us by the Company including
information provided during discussions with management and directors of the
Company. Included in the information provided during discussions with management
were certain financial projections of the Company for the period beginning
January 1, 1998 and ending December 31, 2003 prepared by the management of the
Company. In addition, we have compared certain financial and securities data of
the Company with various other companies whose securities are traded in public
markets, reviewed the historical stock prices and trading volumes of the Shares
of the Company, reviewed prices paid in certain other business combinations and
conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed
appropriate for purposes of this opinion. We have been engaged by the Board of
Directors of the Company and the Company solely to render an opinion as to the
fairness from a financial point of view to the holders of Shares of the
consideration to be received by such shareholders pursuant to the Transaction.
We have not been engaged to assist in negotiating the financial or other terms
of the Transaction or to provide advice as to any particular acquisition
proposal. In addition, we were not requested to, nor did we, solicit the
interest of any other party in acquiring the Company.
 
    In rendering our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and
completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to
us from public sources, that was provided to us by the Company or its
representatives, or that was otherwise reviewed by us. With respect to the
financial projections supplied to us by management of the Company, we have
assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on the basis reflecting the best
currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as
to the future operating and financial performance of the Company. We have not
assumed any responsibility for making an independent evaluation of any assets or
liabilities or for

making any independent verification of any of the information reviewed by us. We
have relied as to certain legal matters on advice of counsel to the Company.
 
    Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, financial and other
conditions as they exist on, and on the information made available to us as of,
the date of this letter. It should be understood that, although subsequent
developments may affect this opinion, we do not have any obligation to update,
revise or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion does not address the relative
merits of the Transaction and the other business strategies being considered by
the Company's Board of Directors, nor does it address the Board's decision to
proceed with the Transaction. This opinion is for the use and benefit of the
Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the
Transaction. Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder
as to whether such stockholder should tender Shares pursuant to the Tender Offer
or how such stockholder should vote on the proposed Transaction.
 
    Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation ("DLJ"), as part of its
investment banking services, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses
and securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, underwritings, sales
and distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and
valuations for corporate and other purposes. DLJ has performed investment
banking and other services for the Buyer in the past, including acting as
comanager for the Buyer's convertible debt offering in March 1998, and has been
paid customary fees for such services.
 
    Based upon the foregoing and such other factors as we deem relevant, we are
of the opinion that the consideration to be received by the holders of Shares
pursuant to the Transaction is fair to such shareholders from a financial point
of view.
 
                                          Very truly yours,
