AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

Reference is made to that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 2, 2001 and executed August 14, 2001 ("Agreement") between Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxx, Inc. ("Buyer") and Aris Corporation ("Seller").

TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Contd):

Whereas the Agreement is subject to Purchaser's analysis of the feasibility of the project and waiver of contingencies to purchase by September 13, 2001;

Whereas Buyer has received appraisals, studies and inspections (which Buyer will use best efforts to deliver to Seller if this transaction does not close) to its satisfaction (except for some minor construction defects set forth in the inspection), and has assembled the equity and debt financing for the contemplated closing;

Whereas, because the devastating impact of this week's World Trade Center bombings on the insurance industry world-wide have left the Buyer, a major insurance brokerage, unable to currently assess the impact on its own business, the parties have agreed to extend the feasibility analysis period referenced in Paragraph 5 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement for an additional thirty (30) days to October 13, 2001, and all related dates shall be adjusted accordingly, EXCEPT for Closing Date which shall remain unchanged.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

1.: The period for Purchaser's inspection and analysis of the feasibility of the Lakeland Building as referenced in Paragraph 5 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement of August 2, 2001 is hereby extended to October 13, 2001 and all other related dates Except Closing Date in the agreement shall likewise be extended for an additional thirty days;
2.: Seller will take steps to have its contractor repair damage from improperly installed flashing as identified in the Inspection Report (see Exhibit A attached hereto) and to ensure such repairs are completed prior to closing;
3.: All other terms and conditions not specifically modified in this Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
