                             AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE
                                     TO THE
                          TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS COMPANY
                       1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
                    (As Amended and Restated March 24, 2000)


          WHEREAS, Technology Solutions Company (the "Company") has heretofore
adopted and maintains the Technology Solutions Company 1995 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning
of section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code");

          WHEREAS, the Company amended and restated the Plan effective March 24,
2000; and

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to further amend the Plan for the
purposes of (i) incorporating certain prior amendments that were inadvertently
omitted from the amendment and restatement of the Plan on March 24, 2000 and
(ii) restricting the right of Plan participants from withdrawing shares of stock
for a period of time after they are purchased under the Plan in order to make it
administratively possible for the Company to claim a deduction from its federal
income tax with respect to shares that are sold during such period.

          NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the power of amendment contained in
Section 9(c) of the Plan, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

          1. Effective as of March 24, 2000, Section 1 of the Plan is amended by
inserting the words "and Predecessor Companies" following the words "Subsidiary
Companies," where such term appears in the last sentence thereof.

     such payroll period shall be a whole percentage amount or a whole dollar
     amount, as determined by the Committee, in either case not to exceed 15%,
     or such lesser percentage as may be determined by the Committee, of the
     Participant's current regular wage, commissions, or salary (before
     withholding or other deductions) paid to him or her by any of the
     Participating Companies.

          3. Effective as of the first day of the first Purchase Period (as
defined in the Plan) beginning after the date hereof, Section 7(a) of the Plan
is hereby amended by deleting the last sentence thereof and inserting the

     day of the Purchase Period immediately preceding the date such shares were
     purchased by the Participant.

          4. Effective as of the first day of the first Purchase Period
beginning after the date hereof, Section 8(a) of the Plan is hereby amended by
deleting the third sentence thereof and inserting the following sentence in lieu
thereof:

     At any time after such termination, the Participant may request delivery to
     such Participant of one or more certificates for, or may request an
     electronic transfer of, the number of whole shares of Common Stock held for
     his or her benefit, and the cash equivalent for any fractional shares so
     held, but only if such shares have been held for a period of at least two
     years since the first day of the Purchase Period immediately preceding the
     date such shares were purchased by the Participant.
