definition of  “Liquidity Bridge Facility” is hereby deleted from
Section 1.1 of the Original Credit Agreement.

       

      §
1.4.                      Borrowing
Base.  Section 2.9 of the Original Credit Agreement is hereby
amended by (i) deleting subsections (b) and (c) thereof, (ii) renaming
subsections (d) and (e) thereof as subsections (e) and (f), respectively, and
(iii) adding the following new subsections (b), (c) and (d) thereto immediately
following subsection (a) thereof to read as follows:

       

      “(b)           Lenders’ Special
Redeterminations of Borrowing Base .  In addition to Scheduled
Redeterminations, Required Lenders shall be permitted to make a Special
Redetermination of the Borrowing Base once between each two consecutive
Scheduled Redeterminations, contemporaneously with each issuance of Permitted
Second Lien Debt, once after each issuance of Permitted Unsecured Debt and each
issuance of  Permitted Convertible Debt if requested by Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(c) and when permitted by Section
7.3(g).  Any request by Required Lenders pursuant to this Section
2.9(b) shall be submitted to Administrative Agent and Borrower.  As
soon as reasonably possible, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent and
Lenders an Engineering Report prepared as of a date which is no more than thirty
(30) days prior to the date of such request.

       

      (c)           Reduction of Borrowing Base
Upon Issuance of Permitted Debt.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, each time Borrower issues any Permitted Unsecured
Debt or any Permitted Convertible Debt (in this section defined as “Permitted
Debt”), on the date of issuance thereof the Borrowing Base then in effect shall
be reduced automatically by an amount equal to the product of 0.25 and the
stated principal amount of the Permitted Debt so issued.  The
Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately
upon such date of issuance and shall remain in effect until the next date as of
which the Borrowing Base is redetermined pursuant to this Agreement. For
purposes of this Section 2.9(c), if any such Permitted Debt is issued at a
discount or otherwise sold for less than “par”, the reduction shall be
calculated based upon the stated principal amount without reference to such
discount. Notwithstanding the foregoing,  within thirty (30) days
after the date on which such Permitted Debt is issued, Administrative Agent may
request an additional Special Redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to
Section 2.9(b) and the Borrowing Base will be redetermined in accordance with
Sections 2.9(b) and 2.9(d).

      

      (d)           Borrower’s Special
Redetermination of Borrowing Base.  In addition to Scheduled
Redeterminations, Borrower shall be permitted to request a Special
Redetermination of the Borrowing Base once between each two consecutive
Scheduled Redeterminations.  Such request shall be submitted to
Administrative Agent and Lenders and at the time of such request Borrower shall
(i) deliver to Administrative Agent and each Lender an Engineering Report
prepared as of a date which is no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date
of such request and (ii) notify Administrative Agent and each Lender of the
Borrowing Base requested by Borrower in connection with such Special
Redetermination.”

time an Impacted Lender hereunder, unless the LC Issuer has entered into
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the LC Issuer, provided that the
Borrower and the LC Issuer agree that the delivery of cash collateral to LC
Issuer  shall constitute satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower
or such Lender to eliminate such LC Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender;
and

       

      (i)           all
other conditions in this Agreement to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have
been satisfied.”

      REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES

       

      §4.1           Representations and
Warranties of Borrower.  In order to induce each Lender to
enter into this Amendment, Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender
that:

       

      (a)           The
representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Original Credit
Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, except to the
extent that such representation or warranty was made as of a specific date or
updated, modified or supplemented as of a subsequent date with the consent of
Required Lenders and Administrative Agent, in which cases such representations
and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and
of such earlier date.

       

      (b)           Borrower
is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment and is and will
continue to be duly authorized to borrow monies and to perform its obligations
under the Credit Agreement. Borrower has duly taken all corporate action
necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Amendment and to
authorize the performance of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.

       

      (c)           The
execution and delivery by Borrower of this Amendment, the performance by
Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not and will not (a) conflict with (i) any Law, (ii) the
articles of incorporation and bylaws of Borrower, or (iii) any agreement,
judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Borrower in any
material respect, or (b) result in the creation of any Lien upon any assets or
properties of Borrower.  Except for those which have been obtained, no
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental authority
or third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery by
Borrower of this Amendment or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

       

      (d)           When
duly executed and delivered, each of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement
will be a legal and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable in accordance
with its

       

      (e)

       

      terms,
except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of general
application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights and by equitable
principles of general application.

       

      (f)           The
audited annual Consolidated financial statements of Borrower dated as of
December 31, 2007 and the unaudited quarterly Consolidated financial statements
of Borrower dated as of September 30, 2008 fairly present the Consolidated
financial position at such dates and the Consolidated statement of operations
and the changes in Consolidated financial position for the periods ending on
such dates for Borrower.  Copies of such financial statements have
heretofore been delivered to each Lender.  Since such dates no
material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition or businesses or
in the Consolidated financial condition or businesses of Borrower.

confirmed in all respects. Any reference to the Credit Agreement in any Loan
Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the Original Credit Agreement as
hereby amended.  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this

Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document.

       

      §5.2           Survival of

      Ms.
Barbara Beck:

      

      We
have agreed as follows with respect to the
compensation to be paid and the other benefits to be provided to you in
connection with your employment relocation by Manpower Inc. (the “Corporation”)
and in accordance with that letter agreement between you and the Corporation
dated December 20, 2005 (the “Assignment Letter”):

       

          1. Position.  In
connection with your relocation by the Corporation, effective as of April 1,
2008, your employment will be with the Corporation as President - Europe, Middle
East and Africa (“President - EMEA”).  As President - EMEA, you will
perform such duties as may be assigned to you from time to time, and as may be
consistent with the position of President - EMEA, as determined by the
Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer.  You agree to devote your best
efforts and full business time to the performance of the duties assigned to
you.  Your base of operations for the performance of your duties will
be Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

       

          2. Term.  The
Term referred to in the Assignment Letter will end effective March 31,
2008.

       

          3. Housing.  Notwithstanding
the end of the Term in the Assignment Letter, Manpower Holdings Limited
(“Holdings”) shall continue to permit you use the property at 4 Aspen Court in
Surrey, England while you are in London until the expiration of the lease on
such property on July 7, 2008.

       

          4. Tax
Preparation.  Your
income tax returns for any year or partial year while you continue in your
position as President - EMEA for income earned during that period, shall be
prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm of the Corporation’s choice,
and the Corporation agrees to directly pay the fees charged by such firm to
prepare such tax returns upon the Corporation’s receipt of such invoices from
the accounting firm.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

          5. Tax
Protection.  The
Corporation will reimburse you for the total United States (state and federal)
and foreign taxes incurred by you related to your base salary, bonus, equity
compensation and benefits received by you under this letter agreement as a
result of your position as President - EMEA and the business travel you perform
in furtherance of your duties as President - EMEA, in excess of the total United
States (state and federal) taxes you would have incurred as a result of
receiving such payments if you worked exclusively within the United
States.  As noted, the Corporation’s obligation to reimburse you for
such excess taxes relates only to items of income and benefits you receive from
the Corporation for services rendered to the Corporation.  The
Corporation’s obligation to reimburse you for excess taxes shall not apply to
any severance payments under the severance agreement entered into between you
and the Corporation dated May 12, 2006 (the “Severance Agreement”) or any
successor agreement.  Payments of such reimbursements for excess taxes
shall be made no later than the end of the second taxable year beginning after
the taxable year in which your U.S. federal income tax return is required to be
filed (including any extensions) for the year in which the compensation subject
to such reimbursement relates.

       

      In
addition, the Corporation will reimburse you for all United States (state and
federal) and foreign taxes incurred by you as a result of receiving the benefits
described in paragraphs 3 and 4 of this letter agreement.  These
reimbursements will be grossed-up so that the net amount received by you, after
subtraction of all taxes applicable to the reimbursement plus the gross-up
amount, will equal the reimbursement amount.  Reimbursements under
this paragraph will be paid to you no later than the end of the taxable year
next following the taxable year in which you pay taxes on the benefits described
in paragraphs 3 and 4, above.

       

      The
amounts to be reimbursed under this paragraph will be determined by a nationally
recognized accounting firm selected by the Corporation, whose determination will
be binding on both parties.  You agree to take such reasonable steps
and make such elections as the Corporation may request in order to reduce the
Corporation’s obligations under this paragraph provided, however, that if such
elections are expected to impact tax years subsequent to the period you are
serving as the Corporation’s President - EMEA, you will not be required to do so
unless you consent to such actions, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

       

          6. Termination of Employment
with Holdings; Release of Claims.  As
noted above, in connection with your relocation to the United States, with
effect from April 1, 2008, your employer will be Manpower Inc.  In
signing this letter, you acknowledge and agree that you have no claims against
Holdings in respect of your employment with that entity or its termination and
that you are not entitled, by virtue of your relocation, to any payment under
the Severance Agreement.  You also acknowledge and agree that you have
no claims against Manpower Plc in respect of your employment with that entity or
its termination.

       

          7. Successors; Binding
Agreement.  This
letter agreement will be binding on the Corporation and its successors and will
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or legal
representatives, heirs and successors.

          8. No Right to Remain
Employed.  The
“Manpower Group” is the Corporation and its direct and indirect
subsidiaries.  Nothing contained in this letter will be construed as
conferring upon you any right to remain employed by the Corporation or any
member of the Manpower Group or affect the right of the Corporation or any
member of the Manpower Group to terminate your employment at any time for any
reason or no reason, subject to the obligations of the Corporation and the
Manpower Group as set forth herein.  It is expressly understood that
your employment with the Corporation is employment that is terminable at will by
notice from the Corporation.

       

          9. Modification.  No
provision of this letter may be modified, waived or discharged unless such
waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing by you and the
Corporation.

       

          10. Choice of
Law.  This
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin,
without regard to the conflict of laws, subject to any mandatory laws of England
and Wales.

       

          If you are in
agreement with the foregoing, please sign and return one copy of this letter
which will constitute our agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
letter.
