                          FIRST CONSULTING GROUP, INC.

                       2000 ASSOCIATE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

               APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OCTOBER 26, 1999
                   APPROVED BY STOCKHOLDERS _________________

1. PURPOSE.

     (a) The purpose of this 2000 Associate Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is
to provide a means by which associates of First Consulting Group, Inc. (the
"Company") and its Affiliates, as defined in Subsection 1(b), which are
designated as provided in Subsection 2(b), may be given an opportunity to
purchase common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock").

     (b) The word "Affiliate" as used in the Plan means any parent corporation
or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections
424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code").

     (c) The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of its
associates, to secure and retain the services of new associates, and to provide
incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the
Company.

     (D) The Company intends that the rights to purchase stock of the Company
granted under the Plan be considered options issued under an "employee stock
purchase plan" as that term is defined in Section 423(b) of the Code.

2. ADMINISTRATION.

     (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors (the "Board")
of the Company unless and until the Board delegates administration to a
Committee, as provided in Subsection 2(c). Whether or not the Board has
delegated administration, the Board shall have the final power to determine all
questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the
Plan.

     (b) The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations
of, the express provisions of the Plan:

          (i) To determine when and how rights to purchase stock of the Company
shall be granted and the provisions of each offering of such rights (which need
not be identical).

          (ii) To designate from time to time which Affiliates of the Company
shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

          (iii) To construe and interpret the Plan and rights granted under it,
and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.
The Board, in the

                                       1.
<PAGE>

exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the
Plan, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make
the Plan fully effective.

          (iv) To amend the Plan as provided in Section 13.

          (v) To terminate or suspend the Plan as provided in Section 15.

          (vi) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as
the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the
Company and its Affiliates and to carry out the intent that the Plan be treated
as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the
Code.

     (c) The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a Committee
composed of not fewer than two (2) members of the Board (the "Committee"). If
administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in
connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed
by the Board, subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The
Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the
administration of the Plan.

3. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to adjustments upon
changes in stock, the stock that may be sold pursuant to rights granted under
the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate five hundred thousand (500,000)
shares of Common Stock. If any right granted under the Plan shall for any reason
terminate without having been exercised, the Common Stock not purchased under
such right shall again become available for the Plan.

     (b) The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired
shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

4. GRANT OF RIGHTS; OFFERING.

     The Board or the Committee may from time to time grant or provide for the
grant of rights to purchase Common Stock of the Company under the Plan to
eligible associates (an "Offering") on a date or dates (the "Offering Date(s)")
selected by the Board or the Committee. Each Offering shall be in such form and
shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee shall deem
appropriate, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 423(b)(5) of
the Code that all associates granted rights to purchase stock under the Plan
shall have the same rights and privileges. The terms and conditions of an
Offering shall be incorporated by reference into the Plan and treated as part of
the Plan. The provisions of separate Offerings need not be identical, but each
Offering shall include (through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by
reference in the document comprising the Offering or otherwise) the period
during which the Offering shall be effective, which period shall not exceed
twenty-seven (27) months beginning with the Offering Date, and the substance of
the provisions contained in Sections 5 through 8, inclusive.

                                       2.

5. ELIGIBILITY.

     (a) Rights may be granted only to associates of the Company or, as the
Board or the Committee may designate as provided in Subsection 2(c), to
associates of any Affiliate of the Company. Except as provided in Subsection
5(b), an associate of the Company or any Affiliate shall not be eligible to be
granted rights under the Plan unless, on the Offering Date, such associate has
been in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate for such continuous period
preceding such grant as the Board or the Committee may require, but in no event
shall the required period of continuous employment be greater than two (2)
years. In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee
and set forth in the terms of the applicable Offering, no associate of the
Company or any Affiliate shall be eligible to be granted rights under the Plan,
unless, on the Offering Date, such associate's customary employment with the
Company or such Affiliate is for at least twenty (20) hours per week and at
least five (5) months per calendar year. The Company, in its sole discretion,
may exclude from participation in the Plan associates of the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company who reside and/or perform services in certain specific
jurisdictions if the laws of those jurisdictions make participation in the Plan
impractical.

     (b) The Board or the Committee may provide that each person who, during the
course of an Offering, first becomes an eligible associate of the Company or
designated Affiliate will, on a date or dates specified in the Offering which
coincides with the day on which such person becomes an eligible associate or
occurs thereafter, receive a right under that Offering, which right shall
thereafter be deemed to be a part of that Offering. Such right shall have the
same characteristics as any rights originally granted under that Offering, as
described herein, except that:

          (i) the date on which such right is granted shall be the "Offering
Date" of such right for all purposes, including determination of the exercise
price of such right;

          (ii) the period of the Offering with respect to such right shall begin
on its Offering Date and end coincident with the end of such Offering; and

          (iii) the Board or the Committee may provide that if such person first
becomes an eligible associate within a specified period of time before the end
of the Offering, he or she will not receive any right under that Offering.

     (c) No associate shall be eligible for the grant of any rights under the
Plan if, immediately after any such rights are granted, such associate owns
stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or
value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Affiliate. For purposes
of this Subsection 5(c), the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in
determining the stock ownership of any associate, and stock which such associate
may purchase under all outstanding rights and options shall be treated as stock
owned by such associate.

     (d) An eligible associate may be granted rights under the Plan only if such
rights, together with any other rights granted under "employee stock purchase
plans" of the Company

                                       3.
<PAGE>

and any Affiliates, as specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, do not permit
such associate's rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Affiliate to
accrue at a rate which exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) of fair
market value of such stock (determined at the time such rights are granted) for
each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time.

     (e) Officers of the Company and any designated Affiliate shall be eligible
to participate in Offerings under the Plan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Board
may provide in an Offering that certain associates who are highly compensated
employees within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code shall not be
eligible to participate.

6. RIGHTS; PURCHASE PRICE.

     (a) On each Offering Date, each eligible associate, pursuant to an Offering
made under the Plan, shall be granted the right to purchase up to the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company purchasable with a percentage designated
by the Board or the Committee not exceeding ten percent (10%) of such
associate's Earnings (as defined in Subsection 7(a)) during the period which
begins on the Offering Date (or such later date as the Board or the Committee
determines for a particular Offering) and ends on the date stated in the
Offering, which date shall be no later than the end of the Offering. In
addition, the Board or the Committee may specify a maximum dollar amount that
each associate may use to purchase shares during any Offering made under the
Plan. The Board or the Committee shall establish one or more dates during an
Offering (the "Purchase Date(s)") on which rights granted under the Plan shall
be exercised and purchases of Common Stock carried out in accordance with such
Offering.

     (b) In connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board or the
Committee may specify a maximum number of shares that may be purchased by any
associate as well as a maximum aggregate number of shares that may be purchased
by all eligible associates pursuant to such Offering. In addition, in connection
with each Offering that contains more than one Purchase Date, the Board or the
Committee may specify a maximum aggregate number of shares which may be
purchased by all eligible associates on any given Purchase Date under the
Offering. If the aggregate purchase of shares upon exercise of rights granted
under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, the Board or
the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available in as
nearly a uniform manner as shall be practicable and as it shall deem to be
equitable.

     (c) The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to rights granted under
the Plan shall be not less than the lesser of:

          (i) an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market
value of the stock on the Offering Date; or

          (ii) an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market
value of the stock on the Purchase Date.

                                       4.

7. PARTICIPATION; WITHDRAWAL; TERMINATION.

          (a) An eligible associate may become a participant in the Plan
pursuant to an Offering by delivering a participation agreement to the Company
within the time specified in the Offering, in such form as the Company provides.
Each such agreement shall authorize payroll deductions of up to the maximum
percentage specified by the Board or the Committee of such associate's Earnings
during the Offering. "Earnings" is defined as an associate's wages (including
amounts thereof elected to be deferred by the associate, that would otherwise
have been paid, under any arrangement established by the Company that is
intended to comply with Section 125, Section 401(k), Section 402(h) or Section
403(b) of the Code or that provides non-qualified deferred compensation), which
shall include overtime pay, but shall exclude bonuses, incentive pay,
commissions, profit sharing or other remuneration paid directly to the
associate, the cost of employee benefits paid for by the Company or an
Affiliate, education or tuition reimbursements, imputed income arising under any
group insurance or benefit program, traveling expenses, business and moving
expense reimbursements, income received in connection with stock options,
contributions made by the Company or an Affiliate under any employee benefit
plan, and similar items of compensation, as determined by the Board or the
Committee. The payroll deductions made for each participant shall be credited to
an account for such participant under the Plan and shall be deposited with the
general funds of the Company. A participant may reduce (including to zero) or
increase such payroll deductions, and an eligible associate may begin such
payroll deductions, after the beginning of any Offering only as provided for in
the Offering. A participant may make additional payments into his or her account
only if specifically provided for in the Offering and only if the participant
has not had the maximum permitted amount withheld during the Offering.

          (b) At any time during an Offering, a participant may terminate his or
her payroll deductions under the Plan and withdraw from the Offering by
delivering to the Company a notice of withdrawal in such form as the Company
provides. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of the
Offering except as provided by the Board or the Committee in the Offering. Upon
such withdrawal from the Offering by a participant, the Company shall distribute
to such participant all of his or her accumulated payroll deductions (reduced to
the extent, if any, such deductions have been used to acquire stock for the
participant) under the Offering, without interest, and such participant's
interest in that Offering shall be automatically terminated. A participant's
withdrawal from an Offering will have no effect upon such participant's
eligibility to participate in any other Offerings under the Plan but such
participant will be required to deliver a new participation agreement in order
to participate in subsequent Offerings under the Plan.

          (c) Rights granted pursuant to any Offering under the Plan shall
terminate immediately upon cessation of any participating associate's employment
with the Company and any designated Affiliate, for any reason, and the Company
shall distribute to such terminated associate all of his or her accumulated
payroll deductions (reduced to the extent, if any, such deductions have been
used to acquire stock for the terminated associate), under the Offering, without
interest.

                                       5.
<PAGE>

     (d) Rights granted under the Plan shall not be transferable by a
participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or
by a beneficiary designation as provided in Section 14 and, otherwise during his
or her lifetime, shall be exercisable only by the person to whom such rights are
granted.

8. EXERCISE.

     (a) On each Purchase Date specified therefor in the relevant Offering, each
participant's accumulated payroll deductions and other additional payments
specifically provided for in the Offering (without any increase for interest)
will be applied to the purchase of whole shares of stock of the Company, up to
the maximum number of shares permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the
applicable Offering, at the purchase price specified in the Offering. No
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of rights granted under the
Plan. The amount, if any, of accumulated payroll deductions remaining in each
participant's account after the purchase of shares which is less than the amount
required to purchase one share of stock on the final Purchase Date of an
Offering shall be held in each such participant's account for the purchase of
shares under the next Offering under the Plan, unless such participant withdraws
from such next Offering, as provided in Subsection 7(b), or is no longer
eligible to be granted rights under the Plan, as provided in Section 5, in which
case such amount shall be distributed to the participant after such final
Purchase Date, without interest. The amount, if any, of accumulated payroll
deductions remaining in any participant's account after the purchase of shares
which is equal to the amount required to purchase whole shares of stock on the
final Purchase Date of an Offering shall be distributed in full to the
participant after such Purchase Date, without interest.

     (b) No rights granted under the Plan may be exercised to any extent unless
the shares to be issued upon such exercise under the Plan (including rights
granted thereunder) are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the Plan is
in material compliance with all applicable state, foreign and other securities
and other laws applicable to the Plan. If on a Purchase Date in any Offering
hereunder the Plan is not so registered or in such compliance, no rights granted
under the Plan or any Offering shall be exercised on such Purchase Date, and the
Purchase Date shall be delayed until the Plan is subject to such an effective
registration statement and such compliance, except that the Purchase Date shall
not be delayed more than twelve (12) months and the Purchase Date shall in no
event be more than twenty-seven (27) months from the Offering Date. If on the
Purchase Date of any Offering hereunder, as delayed to the maximum extent
permissible, the Plan is not registered and in such compliance, no rights
granted under the Plan or any Offering shall be exercised and all payroll
deductions accumulated during the Offering (reduced to the extent, if any, such
deductions have been used to acquire stock) shall be distributed to the
participants, without interest.

9. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

     (a) During the terms of the rights granted under the Plan, the Company
shall keep available at all times the number of shares of stock required to
satisfy such rights.

                                       6.
<PAGE>

     (b) The Company shall seek to obtain from each federal, state, foreign or
other regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such
authority as may be required to issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of
the rights granted under the Plan. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is
unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority
which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale
of stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for
failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such rights unless and until
such authority is obtained.

10. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

     Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to rights granted under the Plan
shall constitute general funds of the Company.

11. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.

     A participant shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of
the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares subject to rights granted
under the Plan unless and until the participant's shareholdings acquired upon
exercise of rights under the Plan are recorded in the books of the Company.

12. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

     (a) If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to
any rights granted under the Plan, due to a change in corporate capitalization
and without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through
reincorporation, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination
or reclassification of shares), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the
class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to
subsection 3(a), and the outstanding rights will be appropriately adjusted in
the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject to
such outstanding rights. Such adjustments shall be made by the Board, the
determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     (b) In the event of: (1) a dissolution, liquidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, (2) a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or (3) a reverse merger in
which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the
merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or
otherwise, then any surviving corporation may assume outstanding rights or
substitute similar rights for those under the Plan. In the event that no
surviving corporation assumes such outstanding rights or substitutes similar
rights therefor, participants' accumulated payroll deductions will be used to
purchase Common Stock immediately prior to the transaction described above and
the participants' rights under the ongoing Offering terminated immediately
following such purchase.

13. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.

     (a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.
However, except as provided in Section 12 relating to adjustments upon changes
in stock, no amendment

                                       7.
<PAGE>

shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company within
twelve (12) months before or after the adoption of the amendment, where the
amendment will:

          (i) Increase the number of shares reserved for rights under the Plan;

          (ii) Modify the provisions as to eligibility for participation in the
Plan (to the extent such modification requires stockholder approval in order for
the Plan to obtain employee stock purchase plan treatment under Section 423 of
the Code or to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 16b-3")); or

          (iii) Modify the Plan in any other way if such modification requires
stockholder approval in order for the Plan to obtain employee stock purchase
plan treatment under Section 423 of the Code or to comply with the requirements
of Rule 16b-3.

It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect
the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible associates with the
maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and
the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to employee stock purchase plans
and/or to bring the Plan and/or rights granted under it into compliance
therewith.

     (b) Rights and obligations under any rights granted before amendment of the
Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan, except with the consent
of the person to whom such rights were granted, or except as necessary to comply
with any laws or governmental regulations, or except as necessary to ensure that
the Plan and/or rights granted under the Plan comply with the requirements of
Section 423 of the Code.

14. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

     (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to
receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account under the
Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to the end of an
Offering but prior to delivery to the participant of such shares and cash. In
addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is
to receive any cash from the participant's account under the Plan in the event
of such participant's death during an Offering.

     (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at
any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in
the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at
the time of such participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares
and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant,
or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of
the Company), the Company, in its sole discretion, may deliver such shares
and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the
participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company,
then to such other person as the Company may designate.

                                       8.
<PAGE>

15. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

     (a) The Board in its discretion, may suspend or terminate the Plan at any
time. No rights may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or
after it is terminated.

     (b) Rights and obligations under any rights granted while the Plan is in
effect shall not be altered or impaired by suspension or termination of the
Plan, except as expressly provided in the Plan or with the consent of the person
to whom such rights were granted, or except as necessary to comply with any laws
or governmental regulation, or except as necessary to ensure that the Plan
and/or rights granted under the Plan comply with the requirements of Section 423
of the Code.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan shall terminate and no rights
may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

16. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

         The Plan shall become effective simultaneously with the effectiveness
of the Company's registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to
the initial public offering of shares of the Company's Common Stock (the
"Effective Date"), but no rights granted under the Plan shall be exercised
unless and until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company
within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the
Board, which date may be prior to the Effective Date.

                          FIRST CONSULTING GROUP, INC.

                   2000 ASSOCIATE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN OFFERING

                            ADOPTED OCTOBER 26, 1999

1. GRANT; OFFERING DATE.

     (a) The Board of Directors of First Consulting Group, Inc. (the "Company"),
pursuant to the Company's 2000 Associate Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"),
hereby authorizes the grant of rights to purchase shares of the common stock of
the Company ("Common Stock") to all eligible associates (an "Offering"). The
first Offering shall begin on January 1, 2000 and end on December 31, 2001 (the
"Initial Offering"). Thereafter, Offerings shall begin every two years on
January 1, beginning with January 1, 2002. Each such Offering shall have a term
of two (2) years. For example, the Offering that begins on January 1, 2002, will
end on December 31, 2003. The first day of an Offering is that Offering's
"Offering Date." If an Offering Date falls on a day during which the Common
Stock is not actively traded, then the Offering Date shall be the next
succeeding day during which the Common Stock is actively traded.

     (b) Prior to the commencement of any Offering, the Board of Directors (or
the Committee described in Subsection 2(c) of the Plan, if any) may change any
or all terms of such Offering and any subsequent Offerings and may determine
that such Offerings shall not occur. The granting of rights pursuant to each
Offering hereunder shall occur on each respective Offering Date unless, prior to
such date (a) the Board of Directors (or such Committee) determines that such
Offering shall not occur, or (b) no shares remain available for issuance under
the Plan in connection with the Offering.

2. ELIGIBLE ASSOCIATES.

     All regular full time associates of the Company and each of its Affiliates
(as defined in the Plan) (collectively, the "Eligible Associates") shall be
granted rights to purchase Common Stock under each Offering on the Offering Date
of such Offering provided that each such associate otherwise meets the
employment requirements of Subsection 5(a) of the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the following associates shall NOT be Eligible Associates or be
granted rights under an Offering: (i) part-time, temporary or seasonal
associates whose customary employment is less than twenty (20) hours per week or
less than five (5) months per calendar year and (ii) 5% stockholders (including
ownership through unexercised options) described in Subsection 5(c) of the Plan.
In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, exclude from participation
in the Offering associates who reside and/or perform services for the Company or
an Affiliate in certain specific jurisdictions if the laws of such jurisdictions
make participation in the Offering impractical.

     Each person who first becomes an Eligible Associate during any Offering
shall be granted a right to purchase Common Stock under such Offering on the
next January 1 or July 1 during such Offering, which right shall thereafter be
deemed to be a part of such Offering. Such

                                       1.
<PAGE>

right shall have the same characteristics as any rights originally granted under
the Offering except that:

     (a) the date on which such right is granted shall be the "Offering Date" of
such right for all purposes, including determination of the exercise price of
such right; and

     (b) the Offering for such right shall begin on its Offering Date and end
coincident with the ongoing Offering.

3. RIGHTS.

     (a) Subject to the limitations contained herein and in the Plan, on each
Offering Date each Eligible Associate shall be granted the right to purchase the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable with the deductions that have been
made from the Eligible Associate's pay during the six (6) month period preceding
the Offering Date.

     (b) The maximum number of shares that may be purchased by an eligible
associate on a Purchase Date shall not exceed five thousand (5,000) shares. The
maximum aggregate number of shares available to be purchased by all Eligible
Associates under an Offering shall be the number of shares remaining available
under the Plan on the Offering Date. If the aggregate purchase of shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of rights granted under the Offering would exceed the
maximum aggregate number of shares available, the Board shall make a pro rata
allocation of the shares available in a uniform and equitable manner.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as required under Section 423 of the
Code, no associate shall be granted an option under the Plan which permits such
associate's right to purchase stock under this Plan and all other employee stock
purchase plans (described in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company to accrue
at a rate which exceeds twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) of fair market
value of such stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for each
calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time.
