         On March 30, 2000, Perot Systems Corporation (the "Company"), through a

                                 AMENDMENT NO. 1
                                       TO
                            ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT


         This AMENDMENT No. 1 TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT, is dated as of March
30, 2000 (the "Amendment") by and among Perot Systems Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("PSC"), PSSC Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
and wholly owned subsidiary of PSC ("Acquisition Sub"), Solutions Consulting
Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), Mark G. Miller (the "Principal
Shareholder"), and Sanford B. Ferguson ("SBF").

         WHEREAS, PSSC Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Acquisition Corp."), was converted into a Delaware limited liability company;

         WHEREAS, PSC, Acquisition Sub (as successor to Acquisition Corp.), the
Company, Principal Shareholder and SBF are parties to that certain Asset
Purchase Agreement dated March 1, 2000 pursuant to which Acquisition Sub will
purchase substantially all of the assets of the Company (the "Agreement");

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants, and in reliance on the representations and warranties, herein
contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:


1. Amendment to Section 4.13(d). Section 4.13(d) is hereby amended by deleting
such section in its entirety and replacing such section with the following new
Section 4.13(d):

         "(d) Simultaneously with the Closing, PSC will reserve a number of
         shares of Common Stock for option grants under the Plan equal to (i)
         3,900,000 plus (ii) an amount equal to the number of Standard Options
         and Performance Options terminated under Sections 4.13(b) and (c),
         respectively, if any, for recruiting new employees and for existing
         employees to reward extraordinary performance (the "Reserved Options").
         The Performance Options referred to in the previous sentence will
         retain their characterization as Performance Options. Reserved Options
         for a given position will be granted from time to time at the request
         of management of Acquisition Sub at fair market value on the Grant Date
         subject to the limitations for any given skill level set forth in
         Schedule 4.13(d). All Reserved Options will contain a five-year vesting
         schedule except for those that retained their Performance Option
         characteristics, which will have the vesting




<PAGE>   2

         schedule applicable to Performance Options. With respect to any
         previously accelerated vesting realized under outstanding Performance
         Options prior to the Grant Date, the Performance Options granted under
         this Section 4.13(d) will provide that such Performance Options will
         vest with respect to such previously accelerated vesting upon the later
         of (i) March 31, 2004 or (ii) the second anniversary of the date of
         grant under this Section 4.13(d); provided, that the grantee remains an
         employee of PSC at that time and any other conditions to vesting under
         the Performance Options have been fulfilled; provided further, that if
         such vesting creates variable accounting treatment for such options,
         the parties will determine an equitable alternative for such options
         that does not create such accounting treatment. All other terms of the
         Performance Options will remain unchanged. While no legal commitment of
         any nature is made hereby, additional options may be made available for
         grant by Acquisition Sub depending on Acquisition Sub's performance.
         This Section 4.13(d) will survive the Closing, but shall expire and be
         of no force and effect as of and following the Autonomy Termination
         Date (as defined in the Performance Options) except for an Autonomy
         Termination Date that occurs solely because SBF ceases to be employed
         by Acquisition Sub."

2. Amendment to Section 4.21. Section 4.21 is hereby amended by deleting such
section in its entirety and replacing such section with the following new
Section 4.21:

    "Headquarters Building. Prior to the Closing, the Company will sell to the
    Principal Shareholder or his designee the real estate and improvements owned
    by the Company and located in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania (the "Headquarters
    Building") under the terms set forth in Schedule 4.21. At the Closing,
    Acquisition Sub will lease space in the Headquarters Building from the
    purchaser to serve as the primary office of Acquisition Sub in accordance
    with the terms set forth in Schedule 4.21."

3. Amendment to Section 4.22. Section 4.22 is hereby amended by adding the
following sentence to the end of such section:

    "This Section 4.22 will survive the Closing."

4. Amendment to Section 4.23(b). Section 4.23(b) is hereby amended by deleting
such section in its entirety and replacing such section with the following new
Section 4.23(b):

         "(b) Without prejudice to the rights of any Person under the
         Performance Options, it is PSC's current intention to permit
         Acquisition Sub, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and
         ending on the Autonomy Termination Date, to be operated in
         substantially the same manner as the Company has operated prior to the
         Closing unless otherwise agreed by the Principal Shareholder or the
         President, except with respect to the issuance of securities (including
         debt securities), the consummation of any merger, consolidation,
         reorganization, disposition of material

<PAGE>   3


         assets other than in the ordinary course of business of the Company, or
         similar transaction, the incurrence of capital expenditures in excess
         of $300,000 in any fiscal year, or the amendment of its articles of
         incorporation or bylaws. Nothing contained in this provision shall
         serve to limit or restrict the legal rights of PSC with respect to
         Acquisition Sub. This Section 4.23(b) will survive the Closing."

5. Amendment to Section 4.25. Section 4.25 is hereby amended by deleting such
section in its entirety and replacing such section with the following new
Section 4.25:

    "Allocation of Purchase Price. Buyers and Sellers will promptly appoint an
    accounting or appraisal firm reasonably acceptable to each party (the
    "Appraiser") to determine an allocation of the Purchase Price among the
    Assets. The Appraiser will be engaged to deliver a draft allocation as soon
    as practicable after the Closing Date. Buyers and Sellers will act
    reasonably to agree to a final allocation which will be deemed to be
    attached to the Agreement as Schedule 4.25. Buyers and Sellers will report
    the transactions contemplated hereby on all Tax Returns (including
    information returns and supplements thereto required to be filed by Buyers
    and Sellers under the Code) in a manner consistent with such final
    allocation, as may be adjusted in accordance with GAAP after the Closing,
    with the reasonable consent of the Representative (as defined in the
    Performance Options). This Section 4.25 will survive the Closing."

6. Amendment to Section 4.26. Section 4.26 is hereby amended by adding the
following sentence to the end of such section:

    "This Section 4.26 will survive the Closing."

7. Amendment to Section 4.27. Section 4.27 is hereby amended by adding the
following sentence to the end of such section:

    "This Section 4.27 will survive the Closing."

8. Amendment to Section 4.28. Section 4.28 is hereby amended by adding the
following sentence to the end of such section:

    "This Section 4.28 will survive the Closing."

9. Amendment to Section 5.1(f). Section 5.1(f) is hereby amended by deleting
such section in its entirety and replacing such section with the following new
Section 5.1(f):

    "(f)The Company will have delivered to Buyers Five-Year Non-Competition
    Agreement executed by five (5) of the six (6) Significant Personnel (to be
    mutually determined upon execution of this Agreement)."

the disclosures contained in that certain Supplement to Schedules to Asset
