                           --------------------------

                             PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE
                       2001 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

                           --------------------------

                               GENERAL INFORMATION



         This Proxy Statement is furnished to stockholders of record of
Predictive Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), as of April
23, 2001 in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") for use at
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Tuesday, May 22, 2001 at 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) at 417 Fifth Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York
10016 (the "Annual Meeting").

         Shares cannot be voted at the Annual Meeting unless the owner is
present in person or by proxy. All properly executed and unrevoked proxies in
the accompanying form that are received in time for the Annual Meeting will be
voted at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof in accordance with
instructions thereon, or if no instructions are given, will be voted, (i) FOR
the election of the named nominees as Directors of the Company, (ii) FOR the
ratification of Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, as
independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2001, and (iii) FOR an amendment to our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan to increase
the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan by
14,000,000 shares to an aggregate of 21,004,637 shares. The Company does not
know of any matters other than described in the Notice of Annual Meeting that
are to come before the Annual Meeting. Any person giving a proxy may revoke it
by written notice to the Company at any time prior to exercise of the proxy. In
addition, although mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke the
proxy, a stockholder who attends the meeting may withdraw his or her proxy and
vote in person. Broker "non-votes" (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees
indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial
owner or other persons entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to
which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) and
shares for which duly executed proxies have been received but with respect to
which holders of shares have abstained from voting, will be counted as present
for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted in
tabulations of the votes cast on each of the proposals presented at the Annual
Meeting and will have the same effect as negative votes, whereas broker
"non-votes" will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal
has been approved.

         The Annual Report of the Company (which does not form a part of the
proxy solicitation materials), containing the consolidated financial statements
of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, is being distributed
concurrently herewith to stockholders.

         This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are being mailed
on or about May 1, 2001 to the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote at
the Annual Meeting.

                                VOTING SECURITIES

         The Company has one class of voting securities outstanding, its Common
Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). Each holder of Common
Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held. In addition, the Company is
authorized to issue up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
$0.001 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"), with such voting rights as
may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Company does not have current
plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock. At the Annual Meeting, each
stockholder of record at the close of business on April 23, 2001 will be
entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock owned on that date as to
each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. On April 23, 2001, there were
35,734,299 shares of Common Stock outstanding, held by 86 unique stockholders of
record. A list of stockholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting will be

prior to the Annual Meeting during regular business hours at the principal
executive offices of the Company at the address specified above.

                            ANNUAL MEETING PROPOSALS

                                   PROPOSAL 1

                              --------------------

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         Unless otherwise directed, the persons appointed in the accompanying
form of proxy intend to vote at the Annual Meeting FOR the election of the
nominees named below as Directors of the Company to serve until the 2004 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and
qualified. If any nominee is unable to be a candidate when the election takes
place, the shares represented by valid proxies may be voted in favor of a
substitute designated by the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. The Board
of Directors does not currently anticipate that any nominee will be unable to be
a candidate for election. Each nominee is currently a Director of the Company.
The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present in
person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors
at the Annual Meeting is required to elect the Directors.

         The Board of Directors currently has eight members divided into three
classes, serving staggered three year terms. Messrs. Bloom, Meyer and Wyman are
our Class II directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting, each of whom is
a nominee for election. Messrs. Kelly, Sidhu and Smith are our Class III
directors whose terms expire at the 2002 Annual Meeting of stockholders. Messrs.
Pettengill and Belau are Class I directors whose terms expire at the 2003 Annual
Meeting of stockholders. These staggered classes, when coupled with the
provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizing
the Board of Directors to fill vacant directorships or increase the size of the
Board of Directors, may delay a stockholder from removing incumbent directors
and simultaneously gaining control of the Board of Directors by filling the
vacancies with its own nominees.

                          RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
                         INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

         Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors
has selected Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, as independent
certified public accountants of the Company to report on the Company's financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 2001, and to perform such other
services as may be requested, subject to the ratification of such appointment by
the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. A majority of the votes of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock is required to ratify the appointment of the
accountants. Although stockholder ratification is not required, the Board of
Directors considers it desirable for the stockholders to pass upon the selection
of the independent accountants. If the stockholders disapprove of the selection
of Arthur Andersen LLP as independent public accountants, the Board of Directors
will consider the selection of other independent certified public accountants. A
representative of Arthur Andersen LLP will attend the Annual Meeting with the
opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and will also be
available to answer inquiries.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE
RATIFICATION OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT PUBLIC
ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2001.

thereunder by 14,000,000 shares, for a total number of shares authorized for

         In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
other compensation in the form of perquisites and other personal benefits has
been omitted for each of the Named Executive Officers because the aggregate
amount of such perquisites and other personal benefits constituted less than the
lesser of $50,000 or 10% of the total of annual salary and bonuses for each of
the Named Executive Officers in 2000.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

         The following table sets forth grants of stock options for the year
ended December 31, 2000 to the Named Executive Officers. Messrs. Pettengill,
Belau and Joseph were not granted stock options in the year ended December 31,
2000. The Company has never granted any stock appreciation rights. The potential
realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at its time of
grant. It is calculated assuming that the fair market value of Common Stock on
the date of grant appreciates at the indicated annual rate compounded annually
for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised and sold on
the last day of its term for the appreciated stock price. These amounts are
calculated based on the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and do not reflect the Company's estimate of future stock price growth. The
percentage of total options granted to employees in the last fiscal year is
based on options to purchase an aggregate of 4,421,735 shares of Common Stock
granted under the Company's option plans.

realized upon exercise of options during 2000 and the number and value of
unexercised options held by each of the Company's Named Executive Officers at
December 31, 2000. The last reported sale price of the Company's Common Stock in
2000 was $7.1562 per share on December 29, 2000. Accordingly, the values set
forth below have been calculated on the basis of the fair market value on

on September 14, 1999 and was approved by the Company's stockholders on that
date.


         21,004,637 shares of Common Stock have been authorized for issuance
under the 1999 Plan by the Board of Directors. This share reserve consists of
the shares which were available for issuance under the predecessor plans on the
effective date of the 1999 Plan plus an additional increase of 16,694,634
shares. Included in the 21,004,637 reserved for issuance by the Board are the
14,000,000 shares pending approval by the Company's stockholders as set forth
under Proposal II. The share reserve will automatically be increased on the
first trading day of January each calendar year, beginning in January 2001, by a
number of shares equal to 1% of the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar year,
but no such annual increase will exceed 500,000 shares. In no event may any one
participant in the 1999 Plan receive option grants or direct stock issuances for
more than 500,000 shares in the aggregate per calendar year.


         Outstanding options under the predecessor plans were incorporated into
the 1999 Plan upon the date of the Company's initial public offering, and no
further option grants may be made under those plans. The incorporated options
will continue to be governed by their existing terms, unless the Company's
Compensation Committee extends one or more features of the 1999 Plan to those
options. However, except as otherwise noted below, the outstanding options under
the predecessor plans contain substantially the same terms and conditions
summarized below for the discretionary option grant program under the 1999 Plan.

                                       12


         The 1999 Plan has five separate programs:

         o        the discretionary option grant program under which eligible
                  individuals in the Company's employ or service (including
                  officers, non-employee Directors and consultants) may be
                  granted options to purchase shares of the Company's Common
                  Stock;

         o        the stock issuance program under which these individuals may
                  be issued shares of the Company's Common Stock directly, with
                  the purchase of such shares or as a bonus tied to the
                  performance of services;

         o        the salary investment option grant program under which
                  executive officers and other highly compensated employees may
                  elect to apply a portion of their base salary to the
                  acquisition of special below-market stock option grants;

         o        the automatic option grant program under which option grants
                  are automatically made at periodic intervals to eligible
                  non-employee Directors; and

         o        the Director fee option grant program under which non-employee
                  Directors may elect to apply a portion of their retainer fee
                  to the acquisition of special below-market stock option
                  grants.

         The discretionary option grant and stock issuance programs are
administered by the Company's Compensation Committee. This committee determines
which eligible individuals are to receive option grants or stock issuances, the
time or times when such option grants or stock issuances are to be made, the
number of shares subject to each such grant or issuance, the exercise or
purchase price for each such grant or issuance, the status of any granted option
as either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory stock option under the
federal tax laws, the vesting schedule to be in effect for the option grant or
stock issuance and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain
outstanding. The Compensation Committee also selects the executive officers and
other highly or Director-approved sale by the stockholders of more than 50% of
the Company's voting stock, each outstanding option under the discretionary
option grant program which is not to be assumed by the successor corporation or
otherwise continued will automatically accelerate in full, and all unvested
shares under the discretionary option grant and stock issuance programs will
immediately vest, except to the extent the Company's repurchase rights with
respect to those shares are to be assigned to the successor corporation or
otherwise continued in effect. The Compensation Committee may grant options
under the discretionary option grant program which will accelerate in the
acquisition even if the options are assumed or which will accelerate if the
optionee's service is subsequently terminated. The Compensation Committee may
grant options and issue shares which accelerate in connection with a hostile
change in control effected through a successful tender offer for more than 50%
of the Company's outstanding voting stock or by proxy contest for the election
of members of the Board of Directors or the options and shares may accelerate
upon a subsequent termination of the individual's service.

         Options currently outstanding under the 1999 Plan may be assumed by the
successor corporation in an acquisition; such options are not by their terms
subject to acceleration at the time of an acquisition or a change in control or
upon the termination of the optionee's service following any such transaction.

         Stock appreciation rights may be issued under the discretionary option
grant program which will provide the holders with the election to surrender
their outstanding options for an appreciation distribution from the Company
equal to the fair market value of the vested shares subject to the surrendered
option less the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. This
appreciation distribution may be made in cash or in shares of the Company's
Common Stock. There are currently no outstanding stock appreciation rights under
the predecessor plans.

                                       13


         The Compensation Committee has the authority to cancel outstanding
options under the discretionary option grant program (including options
incorporated from predecessor plans) in return for the grant of new options for
the same or different number of option shares with an exercise price per share
based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock on the new grant date.

         In the event the Compensation Committee elects to activate the salary
investment option grant program for one or more calendar years, each of the
Company's executive officers and other highly compensated employees selected for
participation may elect to reduce his or her base salary for that calendar year
by a specified dollar amount not less than $5,000 nor more than $50,000. In
return, the individual will automatically be granted, on the first trading day
in the calendar year for which the salary reduction is to be in effect, a
non-statutory option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock
determined by dividing the salary reduction amount by two-thirds of the fair
market value per share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. The
option exercise price will be equal to one-third of the fair market value of the
option shares on the grant date. As a result, the fair market value of the
option shares on the grant date less the exercise price payable for those shares
will be equal to the salary reduction amount. The option will become exercisable
in a series of 12 equal monthly installments over the calendar year for which
the salary reduction is to be in effect and will be subject to full and
immediate vesting in the event of an acquisition or change in control.

         Under the automatic option grant program, each individual who first
joins the Company's Board of Directors as a non-employee after the Company's
initial public offering will automatically be granted an option for 25,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at the time of his or her commencement of
service. In addition, on the date of each annual stockholders meeting, beginning
with the 2001 Annual Meeting, each individual who has served as a non-employee
member of the Board of Directors since the last annual stockholders meeting will
receive an option grant to purchase 2,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Each automatic grant will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value
per share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date and will have a
maximum term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination following the
optionee's cessation of service on the Board of Directors. Each option will be
immediately exercisable, subject to the Company's right to repurchase any
unvested shares at the original exercise price, at the time of the board
member's cessation of service. The options will vest, and the Company's
repurchase right will lapse, with respect to, the initial 25,000-share option
grant in a series of four (4) equal successive annual installments upon the
optionee's completion of each year of service over the four (4)-year period
measured from the grant date. However, each such outstanding option will
immediately vest upon an acquisition or change in control or the death or
disability of the optionee while serving as a member of the Board of Directors.
Each 2,500-share option grant will be fully vested on grant.

         If the Director fee option grant program is put into effect in the
future, then each non-employee member of the Board of Directors may elect to
apply all or a portion of any cash retainer fee for the year to the acquisition
of a below-market option grant. The option grant will automatically be made on
the first trading day in January in the year for which the non-employee Director
would otherwise be paid the cash retainer fee in the absence of his or her
election. The option will have an exercise price per share equal to one-third of
the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date, and the number of
shares subject to the option will be determined by dividing the amount of the
retainer fee applied to the program by two-thirds of the fair market value per
share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. As a result, the fair
market value of the option shares on the grant date less the exercise price
payable for those shares will be equal to the portion of the retainer fee
applied to that option. The option will become exercisable in a series of twelve
equal monthly installments over the calendar year for which the election is in
effect. However, the option will become immediately exercisable for all the
option shares upon the death or disability of the optionee while serving as a
member of the Board of Directors.

                                       14


         Limited stock appreciation rights will automatically be included as
part of each grant made under the automatic option grant, Director fee option
grant and salary investment option grant programs and may be granted to one or
more officers as part of their option grants under the discretionary option
grant program. Options with this limited stock appreciation right may be
surrendered to the Company upon the successful completion of a hostile tender
offer for more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock. In return for the
surrendered option, the optionee will be entitled to a cash distribution from us
in an amount per surrendered option share equal to the highest price per share
of the Company's Common Stock paid in connection with the tender offer less the
exercise price payable for such share.

         The Board of Directors may amend or modify the 1999 Plan at any time,
subject to any required stockholder approval. The 1999 Plan will terminate no
later than September 14, 2009.

Synet Service Corporation 1996 Stock Option Plan

         The Company assumed the 1996 Synet Stock Option Plan on October 16,
2000, the effective date of the acquisition of Synet Service Corporation by the
Company. All options outstanding under the Synet Plan at the closing of the
acquisition were assumed by the Company. No further options are expected to be
granted under the Synet Plan.

         The Synet Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options to
acquire Common Stock to be consistent with the purpose of the Synet Plan and the
interests of the Company. The Synet Plan authorizes the granting of options to
purchase Common Stock to selected employees of the Company and selected
non-employee consultants and independent contractors, who have or will render
service to the Company.

         The Synet Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by the
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may promulgate rules and
regulations for the operation of the Synet Plan, interpret the Synet Plan and
related agreements and generally supervise the administration of the Synet Plan.
The Compensation Committee may also modify the exercise price or number of
shares, accelerate any exercise date, waive or modify any restriction with
respect to an option, or accept the surrender of an existing option in exchange
for the grant of a new option.

         The Synet Plan was approved by the board of directors of Synet on
September 26, 1996, and will terminate on September 26, 2006. The Board of
Directors has the power to suspend, terminate, modify or amend the Synet Plan at
any time. No such action may alter or impair any option previously granted under
the Synet Plan without the consent of the optionee. 242,459 shares of Common
Stock are subject to outstanding options under the Synet Plan.

         Each option is evidenced by a stock option agreement between the
Company and the optionee, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

         Exercise Price. The Compensation Committee determines the exercise
price of options at the time the options are granted. The exercise price may be
less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

         Exercise of Option; Form of Consideration. The Compensation Committee
determines when options become exercisable, and may in its discretion,
accelerate the vesting of any outstanding option. The means of payment for
shares issued upon exercise of an option is specified in each option agreement.
The Synet Plan permits payment to be made in cash or previously acquired shares
of common stock (with some restrictions).

                                       15


         Term of Option. The term of each option shall be fixed by the
Compensation Committee at the date of grant and set forth in the option
agreement. No option may be exercised after the expiration of its term.

         Termination of Service. If an optionee's service relationship with the
Company terminates for any reason (excluding death or disability or termination
for cause), then the optionee generally may exercise the option within 180 days
of such termination to the extent that the option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
option as set forth in the option agreement). If an optionee's service
relationship with us terminates due to the optionee's death or disability, the
optionee or the optionee's personal representative, estate, or the person who
acquires the right to exercise the option by bequest or inheritance, as the case
may be, generally may exercise the option, to the extent the option was vested
on the date of termination, within three months from the date of such
termination. If an optionee's service relationship is terminated for cause, as
defined in the Synet Plan, the participant shall cease to have any rights to
exercise the option and the Company shall have the right to buy back all shares
issued previously pursuant to the exercise of options at the lower of (1) the
fair market value of such stock on the termination date or (2) the price set
forth in a buy-sell agreement between the participant, the Company and its other
stockholders.

         Nontransferability of Options. Options granted under the Synet Plan are
not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and
may be exercised during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee.

         Other Provisions. The stock option agreement may contain other terms,
provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Synet Plan as may be
determined by the Compensation Committee. Shares acquired pursuant to exercise
of the option shall be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company at
the price set forth in the stock option agreement.

         If any stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or other
similar transaction causes the outstanding shares of the Common Stock to
increase or decrease or to be changed into a different number or kind of
securities of the Company or any other corporation, the Company shall make
appropriate adjustments in the number and kind of securities available for
awards under the Synet Plan and in the number and kind of securities as to which
outstanding options shall be exercisable, such that the participant's
proportionate interest before and after the event is maintained.

         In the event of a reorganization, consolidation or merger with another
corporation, the Synet Plan provides that an optionee shall be entitled to
receive an equivalent option covering the shares of such reorganized,
consolidated or merged company if the agreement or plan of reorganization,
consolidation or merger so provides. In the event that a successor corporation
in a transaction described above refuses to substitute substantially equivalent
options or the Company sells or disposes of substantially all of its assets or
stock, all outstanding options shall become fully vested. Optionees shall have
thirty days immediately prior to the effective date of such merger,
consolidation, sale or disposition to exercise their options without any
limitation on exercisablity and the options shall terminate upon expiration of
such period.

         An optionee does not recognize any taxable income at the time he or she
is granted a nonstatutory stock option. Upon exercise, the optionee recognizes
taxable income generally measured by the excess of the then fair market value of
the shares over the exercise price. Any taxable income recognized in connection
with an option exercise by our employee is subject to tax withholding. Unless
limited by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Company is entitled to a deduction in
the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Upon a
disposition of such shares by the optionee, any difference between the sale
price and the optionee's exercise price, to the extent not recognized as taxable
income as provided above, is treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or
loss, depending on the holding period. Net capital gains on shares held more
than 12 months may be taxed at a maximum federal rate of 20%. Capital losses are
allowed in full against capital gains and up to $3,000 against other income.

                                       16


         The ordinary income recognized by a purchaser who is an employee will
be subject to tax withholding. Different rules may apply if the purchaser is
also an officer or 10% stockholder.

  Global Integrity Corporation 1998 Stock Incentive Plan

         The Company assumed the Global Integrity Corporation 1998 Stock
Incentive Plan on December 14, 2000, the effective date of the acquisition of
Global Integrity Corporation by the Company. All options outstanding under the
Global Integrity Plan at the closing of the acquisition were assumed by the
Company. No further options are expected to be granted under the Global
Integrity Plan.

         The Global Integrity Plan provides for awards in the form of (a)
incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options, (b) restricted shares
and (c) stock units and stock appreciation rights, which the Compensation
Committee determines to be consistent with the purpose of the Global Integrity
Plan and the interests of the Company.

         The Global Integrity Plan authorizes the grant of awards to selected
employees, officers and outside Directors of the Company or any parent or
subsidiary of the Company, and to selected non-employee consultants and advisors
of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company. Non-employee
directors may elect to receive awards of nonstatutory stock options or stock
units under the Global Integrity Plan in lieu of annual retainer payments. Only
common-law employees may receive incentive stock options. No participant may
receive options or stock appreciation rights covering more than 500,000 shares
of Common Stock in any fiscal year.

         551,048 shares of Common Stock are subject to outstanding options under
the Global Integrity Plan. If an option, stock unit, share of restricted stock
or stock appreciation right awarded under the Global Integrity Plan is forfeited
or terminates, the unissued shares subject to such awards will again become
available for issuance.

         The Global Integrity Plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee may promulgate rules and regulations for
the operation of the Global Integrity Plan, interpret the Global Integrity Plan
and related agreements and generally supervise the administration of the Global
Integrity Plan.

         The Global Integrity Plan was approved by the board of directors of
Global Integrity Corporation on April 5, 1998 and will terminate on March 31,
2008. The Board of Directors has the power to suspend, terminate, modify or
amend the Global Integrity Plan at any time. No such action may alter or impair
any award previously granted under the Global Integrity Plan.

         Each option is evidenced by a stock option agreement between the
Company and the optionee, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

         Exercise Price. The Compensation Committee determines the exercise
price of options at the time the options are granted. The exercise price of an
incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date such option is granted; provided, however, that the
exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder
may not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date such option is
granted. The fair market value of the common stock is generally the closing
market sale price (or the closing bid if no sales were reported) on the date an
option is granted. A nonstatutory stock option agreement may provide that the
exercise price of the option varies in accordance with a preestablished formula,
provided such price is no less than 85% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the grant date.

                                       17


          Exercise of Option; Form of Consideration. The Compensation Committee
determines when options become exercisable, and may in its discretion,
accelerate the vesting of any outstanding option. The means of payment for
shares issued upon exercise of an option is specified in each option agreement.
The Global Integrity Plan permits payment to be made by cash, check, promissory
note, other shares of Common Stock (with some restrictions), cashless exercises,
any other form of consideration permitted by applicable law, or any combination
thereof.

         Term of Option. The term of an option shall be specified in the stock
option agreement. The term of an incentive stock option may be no more than ten
(10) years from the date of grant. No option may be exercised after the
expiration of its term.

         Termination of Service. If an optionee's service relationship
terminates for any reason (excluding death or disability), then the optionee
generally may exercise the option within sixty days of such termination to the
extent that the option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such option as set forth in the option
agreement). If an optionee's service relationship terminates due to the
optionee's disability, the optionee generally may exercise the option, to the
extent the option was vested on the date of termination, within six months from
the date of such termination. If an optionee's service relationship terminates
due to the optionee's death, the optionee's estate or the person who acquires
the right to exercise the option by bequest or inheritance generally may
exercise the option, to the extent vested on the date of death, within twelve
months from the termination date.

         Nontransferability of Options. Unless otherwise determined by the
Compensation Committee, options granted under the Global Integrity Plan are not
transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may
be exercised during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee.

         Other Provisions. The stock option agreement may contain other terms,
provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Global Integrity Plan as may
be determined by the Compensation Committee.

         The Compensation Committee may grant stock appreciation rights under
the Global Integrity Plan. A stock appreciation right is the right to the
increase, if any, in the fair market value of the Common Stock on the exercise
date over the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The Company
can pay the appreciation in either cash or in shares of the Common Stock, or any
combination. Stock appreciation rights may be awarded in combination with
options, restricted shares or stock units, and will become exercisable at the
times and on the terms established by the Compensation Committee. There are
currently no stock appreciation rights outstanding under the Global Integrity
Plan.

         The Compensation Committee may grant awards in the form of restricted
stock, restricted stock units, or any combination. Restricted stock awards shall
be subject to such terms, conditions and limitations as the Compensation
Committee deems appropriate. Such limitations may include a vesting schedule
pursuant to which the issued shares or units vest in full or installments upon
satisfaction of prescribed performance conditions. A restricted stock unit is
the right to receive shares of Common Stock upon the satisfaction of vesting
conditions. The Compensation Committee may settle vested stock units in a lump
sum or installments, and may defer the settlement date. The Compensation
Committee may provide for payment of dividend equivalents on unvested stock
units in the form of cash, Common Stock or additional stock units. To date, no
restricted stock awards have been made under the Global Integrity Plan.

         In the event that the Common Stock changes by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar change in
capital structure effected without the receipt of consideration, the
Compensation Committee may make appropriate adjustments to the number of
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and stock units available
for future awards, the number of stock units included in any outstanding stock
unit award, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding options
or stock appreciation rights or the exercise price under each outstanding stock
option and stock appreciation right.

                                       18


         In the event the Company is party to a merger or reorganization,
outstanding options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and stock
units may, pursuant to the merger or reorganization agreement, be assumed by the
surviving corporation, continued by the Company, become exercisable as to all or
any part of the option or stock award, terminate, or be settled for cash. The
Compensation Committee may determine that each option, stock appreciation right,
award of restricted stock or stock unit shall become fully exercisable in the
event of a change in control. A "change of control," is defined by the Global
Integrity Plan as the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any individual,
entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of more than 25% of the Common Stock outstanding at
such time, without prior approval of the Board of Directors.

         An optionee who is granted an incentive stock option does not recognize
taxable income at the time the option is granted or upon its exercise, although
the exercise is an adjustment item for alternative minimum tax purposes and may
subject the optionee to the alternative minimum tax. Upon a disposition of the
shares more than two years after grant of the option and one year after exercise
of the option, any gain or loss is treated as long-term capital gain or loss.
Net capital gains on shares held more than 12 months may be taxed at a maximum
federal rate of 20%. Capital losses are allowed in full against capital gains
and up to $3,000 against other income. If these holding periods are not
satisfied, the optionee recognizes ordinary income at the time of disposition
equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lower of the fair
market value of the shares at the date of the option exercise or the sale price
of the shares. Any gain or loss recognized on such a premature disposition of
the shares in excess of the amount treated as ordinary income is treated as
long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. A
different rule for measuring ordinary income upon such a premature disposition
may apply if the optionee is also an officer, director, or 10% stockholder of
the Company. Unless limited by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Company is
entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by
the optionee.

         An optionee does not recognize any taxable income at the time he or she
is granted a nonstatutory stock option. Upon exercise, the optionee recognizes
taxable income generally measured by the excess of the then fair market value of
the shares over the exercise price. Any taxable income recognized in connection
with an option exercise by an employee of the Company is subject to tax
withholding by the Company. Unless limited by Section 162(m) of the Code, the
Company is entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income
recognized by the optionee. Upon a disposition of such shares by the optionee,
any difference between the sale price and the optionee's exercise price, to the
extent not recognized as taxable income as provided above, is treated as
long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period.
Net capital gains on shares held more than 12 months may be taxed at a maximum
federal rate of 20%. Capital losses are allowed in full against capital gains
and up to $3,000 against other income.

         Stock purchase rights will generally be taxed in the same manner as
nonstatutory stock options. However, restricted stock is subject to a
"substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code,
because the Company may repurchase the stock when the purchaser ceases to
provide services to the Company. As a result of this substantial risk of
forfeiture, the purchaser will not recognize ordinary income at the time of
purchase. Instead, the purchaser will recognize ordinary income on the dates
when the stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (i.e.,
when the Company's right of repurchase lapses). The purchaser's ordinary income
is measured as the difference between the purchase price and the fair market
value of the stock on the date the stock is no longer subject to right of
repurchase.



                                       19


         The purchaser may accelerate to the date of purchase his or her
recognition of ordinary income, if any, and begin his or her capital gains
holding period by timely filing (i.e., within thirty days of purchase), an
election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. In such event, the ordinary
income recognized, if any, is measured as the difference between the purchase
price and the fair market value of the stock on the date of purchase, and the
capital gain holding period commences on such date. The ordinary income
recognized by a purchaser who is an employee will be subject to tax withholding
by the Company. Different rules may apply if the purchaser is also an officer,
director, or 10% stockholder of the Company.

         No income will be recognized by a recipient in connection with the
grant of a stock appreciation right. When the stock appreciation right is
exercised, the recipient generally will be required to include as taxable
ordinary income in the year of exercise an amount equal to the sum of the amount
of cash received and the fair market value of any Common Stock received on the
exercise. In the case of a recipient who is also an employee, any income
recognized on exercise of a stock appreciation right will constitute wages for
which withholding will be required. The Company will be entitled to a tax
deduction in the same amount. If the optionee receives of the Company upon the
exercise of a stock appreciation right, any gain or loss on the subsequent sale
of such stock will be treated in the same manner as discussed above.

         The grant of a stock unit award produces no U.S. federal income tax
consequences for the participant or the Company. The payment of a stock unit
award results in taxable income to the participant equal to the amount of the
payment received, valued with reference to the market value of the common stock
of the Company on the payment date. The Company is entitled to a corresponding
tax deduction for the same amount.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

         The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted by the Board of
Directors on September 14, 1999 and approved by the stockholders on that date.
The Purchase Plan became effective on October 27, 1999. The Purchase Plan is
designed to allow eligible employees and those of participating subsidiaries to
purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, at semi-annual intervals, through
periodic payroll deductions. A total of 750,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock may be issued under the Purchase Plan.

         The Plan has a series of successive offering periods, each with a
maximum duration of 24 months. The initial offering period began on October 27,
1999 and will end on the last business day in October 2001. The next offering
period will begin on the first business day in May 2001, and subsequent offering
periods will be set by the Compensation Committee.

         Individuals who are eligible employees on the start date of any
offering period may enter the Purchase Plan on that start date or on any
subsequent semi-annual entry date (generally May 1 or November 1 each year).
Individuals who become eligible employees after the start date of the offering
period may join the Purchase Plan on any subsequent semi-annual entry date
within that period.

         A participant may contribute up to 10% of his or her cash earnings
through payroll deductions and the accumulated payroll deductions will be
applied to the purchase of shares on the participant's behalf on each
semi-annual purchase date (the last business day in January and July each year).
The purchase price per share will be 85% of the lower of the fair market value
of the Company's Common Stock on the participant's entry date into the offering
period or the fair market value on the semi-annual purchase date. The first
purchase date occured on the last business day in April 2000. In no event,
however, may any participant purchase more than 500 shares, nor may all
participants in the aggregate purchase more than 187,500 shares on any one
semi-annual purchase date. Should the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock on any semi-annual purchase date be less than the fair market value on the
first day of the offering period, then the current offering period will
automatically end and a new offering period will begin, based on the lower fair
market value.

                                       20


         The Board of Directors may at any time amend or modify the Purchase
Plan. The Purchase Plan will terminate no later than the last business day in
October 2009.

                                       22


General

         The Company has adopted a policy that all transactions with officers,
directors, 5% stockholders and their affiliates be entered into only if they are
approved by a majority of the disinterested independent directors, are on terms
no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated
parties and are reasonably expected to benefit the Company.


         REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors advises the Chief
Executive Officer and the Board of Directors on matters of the Company's
compensation philosophy and the compensation of executive officers and other
individuals compensated by the Company. The Compensation Committee is also
responsible for the administration of the Company's stock option plans under
which option grants and direct stock issuances may be made to executive
officers. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and is in accord with the
compensation paid to executive officers in 2000.

General Compensation Policy

         The fundamental policy of the Compensation Committee is to provide the
Company's executive officers with competitive compensation opportunities based
upon their contribution to the Company's development and financial success and
their personal performance. It is the Compensation Committee's objective to have
a portion of each executive officer's compensation contingent upon the Company's
performance, as well as upon such executive officer's own level of performance.
Accordingly, the compensation package for each executive officer is comprised of
three elements: (i) base salary, (ii) cash bonus payment and (iii) long-term
stock-based incentive awards which strengthen the mutuality of interests between
the executive officers and the Company's stockholders.

Factors

         The principal factors which the Compensation Committee considered with
respect to each executive officer's compensation package for fiscal year 2000
are summarized below. The Compensation Committee may, however, in its discretion
apply entirely different factors in advising the Chief Executive Officer and the
Board of Directors with respect to executive compensation for future years.

         Base Salary. The suggested base salary for each executive officer is
determined on the basis of the following factors: experience, personal
performance, the salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and
without the industry and internal base salary comparability considerations. The
weight given to each of these factors differs from individual to individual, as
the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

         Cash Bonus Payment. Under special circumstances, the Compensation
Committee has the discretion to pay cash bonuses to executive officers based on
both individual performance as well as performance of the Company when
predetermined goals are met or exceeded. Bonuses are determined and paid
annually.

         Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Long-term incentives are generally
provided through grants of stock options. The grants are designed to align the
interests of each executive officer with those of the stockholders and provide
each individual with a significant incentive to manage the Company from the
perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the Company. Each option
generally becomes exercisable in installments over a four year period,
contingent upon the executive officer's continued employment with the Company.
Accordingly, the option grant will provide a return to the executive officer
only if the executive officer remains employed by the Company during the vesting
period, and then only if the market price of the underlying shares appreciates.

                                       23


         The number of shares subject to each option grant is set at a level
intended to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership based on the
executive officer's current position with the Company, the base salary
associated with that position, the size of comparable awards made to individuals
in similar positions within the industry, the individual's potential for
increased responsibility and promotion over the option term and the individual's
personal performance in recent periods. The Compensation Committee also
considers the number of unvested options held by the executive officer in order
to maintain an appropriate level of equity incentive for that individual.
However, the Compensation Committee does not adhere to any specific guidelines
as to the relative option holdings of the Company's executive officers. Stock
options to purchase an aggregate of 425,000 shares of Common Stock were granted
to executive officers in 2000.

CEO Compensation

         The plans and policies discussed above were the basis for the 2000
compensation of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ronald G.
Pettengill, Jr. In advising the Board of Directors with respect to this
compensation, the Compensation Committee seeks to achieve two objectives: (i)
establish a level of base salary competitive with that paid by companies within
the industry that are of comparable size to the Company and by companies outside
of the industry with which the Company competes for executive talent and (ii)
make a significant percentage of the total compensation package contingent upon
the Company's performance and stock price appreciation. In accordance with these
objectives, Mr. Pettengill received a base salary of $200,000 and a bonus of
$80,000 for fiscal year 2000. He currently holds a total of 980,000 unexercised
stock options.

Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

         As a result of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, which was enacted into law in 1993, the Company will not be allowed a
federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to certain executive officers
to the extent that such compensation exceeds $1 million per officer in any one
year. This limitation will apply to all compensation paid to the covered
executive officers which is not considered to be performance-based. Compensation
that does qualify as performance-based compensation will not have to be taken
into account for purposes of this limitation. The Company's stock plans contain
certain provisions that are intended to ensure that any compensation deemed paid
in connection with the exercise of stock options granted under that plan with an
exercise price equal to the market price of the option shares on the grant date
will qualify as performance-based compensation.

         The Compensation Committee does not expect that the compensation to be
paid to the Company's executive officers for 2000 will exceed the $1 million
limit per officer.

                                 THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

             REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         The Audit Committee reports to the Board of Directors regarding the
appointment and performance of the Company's independent public accountants, the
scope and results of our annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent
public accountants, compliance with the Company's accounting and financial
policies and management's procedures and policies relative to the adequacy of
the Company's internal accounting controls.

         The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the
Company's audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
2000.

         The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61,
Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Auditing Standards Board
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

         The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures
and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standard
No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, by the
Independence Standards Board, and have discussed with the auditors the auditors'
independence.

         Based on reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee
recommends to the Board of Directors that the financial statements referred to
above be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2000.

         The Board has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which is attached as
Appendix A.

         None of the current members of the Audit Committee are "independent
directors" as defined by the National Association of Securities Dealers listing
standards. An independent director means a person other than an officer or
employee of the Company, having a relationship which, in the opinion of the
Board of Directors, would not interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Directors who would
not be considered independent are (i) any director who accepts any compensation
from the Company in excess of $60,000 during the previous fiscal year, (ii) any
director who is a member of the immediate family of an individual who is, or has
been in the past three years, employed by the Company as an executive officer,
(iii) any director who is a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an
executive officer of, any for-profit business organization to which the Company
made, or from which the Company received, payments that exceed 5% of the
Company's consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is
more, in any of the past three years or (iv) any director who is employed as an
executive of another entity where any of the Company's executives serve on that
entity's compensation committee. In accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq
National Market and the Securities and Exchange Commission, other than in
certain circumstances, the Audit Committee must be comprised of at least three
members who are independent directors.

         While none of the Company's current Audit Committee members are
"independent" directors, effective May 1, 2001, the Audit Committee consists of
directors Sidhu, Smith and Kelly. The Board has determined that Messrs. Sidhu
and Smith are "independent" directors of the Company, and has determined that
Mr. Kelly is not an "independent" director because of his position as managing
member of General Atlantic Partners, LLC. General Atlantic holds over 15% of the
Company's outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. Notwithstanding
this determination relating to Mr. Kelly, the Board has determined that Mr.
Kelly's membership on the Audit Committee is in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders because of his abilities and background and
in-depth knowledge of the Company and its financial statements. At General
Atlantic, Mr. Kelly has significant responsibilities involving financial
accounting and analysis of financial statements. Prior to joining General
Atlantic, Mr. Kelly was a financial analyst at Morgan Stanley & Company. Mr.
Kelly is also the only member of the newly-constituted Audit Committee to have
previously served on the Company's Audit Committee. After appropriate review and
discussion, the Board determined that Mr. Kelly's service on the Audit Committee
significantly benefits the Company and its stockholders and that his position
with General Atlantic will not compromise the performance of his
responsibilities on the Audit Committee.

                                       25


         There is currently an open position on the Board, which the Company
expects to fill with an "independent" director who is also expected to serve on
the Audit Committee.

Fees Billed to the Company by Arthur Andersen LLP during Fiscal 2000:


         Audit Fees: Audit fees billed to the Company by Arthur Andersen LLP
during the Company's 2000 fiscal year for review of the Company's annual
financial statements and those financial statements included in the Company's
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q totaled $150,000.

Company did not incur any Financial Information Systems Design and

during the Company's 2000 fiscal year for all other non-audit services rendered

                            PREDICTIVE SYSTEMS, INC.
                             AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
1. Organization

        This charter governs the operations of the audit committee. The
committee shall review and reassess the charter at least annually and obtain the
approval of the Board of Directors. The committee shall be appointed by the
Board of Directors and shall comprise at least three but no more than five
members, each of whom are independent(1) of management and Predictive Systems,
Inc. (the Company). All committee members shall be financially literate and at
least one member shall have accounting or related financial management
expertise.

2. Statement of Policy

        The audit committee shall provide assistance to the Board of Directors
in fulfilling their oversight responsibility to the shareholders, potential
shareholders, the investment community, and others relating to the Company's
financial statements and the financial reporting process, the systems of
internal accounting and financial controls, the internal audit function, the
quarterly and annual reports filed by the Company, the annual independent audit
of the Company's financial statements, and the legal compliance and ethics
programs as established by management and the Board. In so doing, it is the
responsibility of the committee to maintain free and open communication between
the committee, independent auditors and management of the Company. In
discharging its oversight role, the committee is empowered to investigate any
matter brought to its attention with full access to all books, records,
facilities, and personnel of the Company and the power to retain outside counsel
or other experts for this purpose.


- --------
1 Members of the committee shall be considered independent if they have no
relationship that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from
management and the Company. Factors considered to interfere with independence
include, but are not limited to:
(a)  a member who is employed by the Company or any of its affiliates for the
     current year or any of the past three years;
(b)  a member who accepts any compensation from the Company or any of its
     affiliates in excess of $60,000 during the previous fiscal year, other than
     compensation for board service, benefits under a tax-qualified retirement
     plan, or non-discretionary compensation;
(c)  a member who is a member of the immediate family of an individual who is,
     or has been in any of the past three years, employed by the Company or any
     of its affiliates as an executive officer;
(d)  a member who is partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive
     officer of, any for-profit business organization to which the corporation
     made, or from which the corporation received, payments (other than those
     arising solely from investments in the corporation's securities) that
     exceed 5% of the Company's consolidated gross revenue for that years in the
     past three years; and
(e)  a member who is employed as an executive of another corporation where any
     of the Company's executives serve on that corporation's compensation
     committee.



                                       31



3. Responsibilities and Processes

         The primary responsibility of the audit committee is to oversee the
Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and report the
results of their activities to the Board. Management is responsible for
preparing the Company's financial statements, and the independent auditors are
responsible for auditing those financial statements. The committee in carrying
out its responsibilities believes its policies and procedures should remain
flexible, in order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances. The
committee should take the appropriate actions to set the overall corporate
"tone" for quality financial reporting, sound business risk practices, and
ethical behavior.

         The following shall be the principal recurring processes of the audit
committee in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The processes are set
forth as a guide with the understanding that the committee may supplement them
as appropriate.

o    The committee shall have a clear understanding with management and the
     independent auditors that the independent auditors are ultimately
     accountable to the Board and the audit committee, as representatives of the
     Company's shareholders. The committee shall have the responsibility to
     evaluate the independent auditors. Annually, the committee shall review and
     recommend to the Board the selection of the Company's independent auditors,
     subject to shareholders' approval.

o    The committee shall discuss with the auditors their independence from
     management and the Company and, on an annual basis, obtain from the
     independent auditors a written communication delineating all their
     relationships and professional services as required by the Independence
     Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit
     Committees. In addition, the committee shall review with the independent
     auditors the nature and scope of any disclosed relationships or
     professional services and take (or recommend that the Board of Directors
     take) appropriate action to ensure the continuing independence of the
     auditors.

o    The committee shall provide sufficient opportunity for the independent
     auditors to meet with the members of the audit committee without members of
     management being present.

o    The committee shall discuss with the independent auditors the overall scope
     and plans for the audit including the adequacy of staffing and
     compensation. Also, the committee shall discuss with management and the
     independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and
     financial controls, including the Company's system to monitor and manage
     business risk, and legal and ethical compliance programs, and assess the
     steps management has taken to minimize potential risks. Further, the
     committee shall meet separately with the independent auditors, with and
     without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations.
     The committee shall investigate any matter brought to its attention within
     the scope of its duties, with the power to retain outside counsel for this
     purpose if, in its judgment, that is appropriate.

o    The committee shall review the interim financial statements with management
     and the independent auditors prior to the filing of the Company's Quarterly
     Report on Form 10-Q. Also, the committee shall discuss the results of the
     quarterly review and any other matters required to be communicated to the
     committee by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing
     standards. The chair of the committee may represent the entire committee
     for the purposes of this review.

                                       32


o    The committee shall review with management and the independent auditors the
     financial statements to be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
     10-K (or the annual report to shareholders if distributed prior to the
     filing of Form 10-K), including their judgment about the quality, not just
     acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant
     judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements.
     Also, the committee shall discuss the results of the annual audit and any
     other matters required to be communicated to the committee by the
     independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards.

o    The committee shall review the Company's disclosure in the proxy statement
     for its annual meeting of shareholders that describes that the Committee
     has satisfied its responsibilities under this Charter for the prior year.
     In addition, the committee shall include a copy of this Charter in the
     annual report to shareholders or the proxy statement at least once every
     three years or in the year after any significant amendment to the Charter.
