Stratus Services Group, Inc./ALS, LLC and Advantage Group, LLC;

Employer Service Agreements

Dear
Mr. O'Donnell: 

        Please
let this serve as written confirmation of the agreement between Stratus and Advantage regarding the APX, NYK, Jatco and Dallas Morning News Employer Service Agreements. 

        Stratus
realizes that Advantage will be making a significant investment in a captive insurance vehicle, through which vehicle, and pursuant to the terms of the Employer Service
Agreements for each of APX, NYK, Jatco and Dallas Morning News (the "Payrolled Accounts"), Advantage will perform payrolling services for Stratus. 

        Stratus
will pledge the Payrolled Accounts as collateral for performing its obligations under said contracts for the Payrolled Accounts, until the earlier of (i) twelve
(12) months or (ii) employee payroll equals $8 million. Stratus will post additional customers' revenue to Advantage to the extent that such customers exist in California or other
applicable jurisdictions. 

        Advantage
acknowledges that receivables not generated as a result of the direct billing by Advantage pursuant to the terms hereof, are receivables subject to the lien of Capital Temp
Funds, Inc. 

        If,
within a period of twelve (12) months, payroll has not reached $8 million and Stratus has not otherwise defaulted in its payment obligations such that Advantage is
direct billing, then Stratus will pay to Advantage an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the difference between $8 million and the amount of payroll actually reached. By way of example only,
if Stratus reaches $7.5 million in payroll only for the twelve (12) month period, then it will pay to Advantage a fee of $40,000.00. 

        If
Stratus defaults on its payment obligations only, under said contracts, and such default is not cured within two (2) days from the date thereof, Advantage will have the right,
at its option, to direct bill those accounts going forward until such time as the default is cured in full plus an additional 2 weeks of direct billing. Stratus will forfeit any additional gross
margin billed to those accounts in excess of Advantage's payrolling fee for that week of default plus an additional two (2) week period. Stratus agrees that it will cooperate and coordinate
with Advantage in implementing the direct billing by Advantage. 

 

        If
the same meets with your approval, please sign where indicated below and return a copy to the undersigned.

	Re:	 	Stratus Services Group, Inc./ALS, LLC and Advantage Group, LLC Receivables

Dear
Mr. O'Donnell: 

        Please
let this serve as written confirmation of the agreement between Stratus and Advantage regarding Stratus' outstanding receivables to ALS, LLC, or Advantage Services Group,
(collectively "Advantage").
This letter shall serve as confirmation that, as of today's date, $225,000.00 is due and outstanding by Stratus to Advantage plus interest at a rate Prime + 1.5%. 

        Stratus
hereby agrees that it will pay to Advantage the sum of a minimum of $5,000.00 per week, and a minimum of $20,000 every four (4) weeks, beginning Monday,
October 27th, and continuing until the balance above is paid in full. 

        As
security for Advantage's cooperation in collecting on these amounts due and owing, Stratus hereby pledges as collateral only, to Advantage, a Warrant with a term of five
(5) years to purchase two (2) million shares of its common stock at an exercise price of the lower of $.15 per share or 75% of the share trading price, in the latest arms length trade.
The Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at the election of Advantage, upon or after the date of notification by Advantage to Stratus that Stratus has not complied with the foregoing
payment obligations. While the Warrant will be issued, it will be held as collateral, and will only be released to Advantage in the event of a default by Stratus under the terms of this letter
agreement, which default would continue for ten (10) days without cure. Moreover, if such a default occurs and is not cured in ten (10) days, and the Warrant must be released to
Advantage, Advantage agrees that it will not exercise the warrant for a period of (i) six (6) months from the date hereof, or (ii) fifteen (15) days from the date of
notification as set forth in the preceding sentence, whichever is later. Advantage shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply funds owed to it by Stratus pursuant to the terms of this
Letter Agreement only, in whole or in part in exercising the Warrant. Stratus shall, upon such exercise only, have the obligation to register the shares underlying the Warrant, in accordance with the
registration rights granted to Advantage in connection therewith. 

 

        If
the same meets with your approval, please sign where indicated below and return a copy to the undersigned.

        A.
The agreed manufacturing lead-time required by Mototech is sixty (60) working days, and the Developer agrees to place Purchase Orders in a timely fashion taking
cognizance of the lead-time. Mototech agrees to confirm the Developer's requested shipment dates within five (5) working days by FAX, or E-Mail.

quantity of the Products being ordered, and set forth the requested release or shipment dates. Products can only be purchased hereunder with the issuance of a PO by Developer. In the event such POs

prior to a required delivery date, reschedule any POs, in whole or in part, to a later rescheduled delivery date, not more that thirty (30) days from the original scheduled delivery date. Such
equitable change adjustment shall be Mototech's only remedy for such change by Developer. Such equitable change adjustment shall not include any costs or expenses of Mototech or Mototech's suppliers
or subcontractors which Mototech could reasonably have avoided, such as, by way of example and not limitation, charges for any work done after receipt of the notice of cancellation (other than as
required by Developer). In no event shall any equitable change adjustment for a cancellation of a PO exceed the purchase price of the Products canceled, nor shall any such charge apply to goods or
materials which are reasonably returnable by Mototech or otherwise useable or can be sold in the normal course of Mototech's business without violation of the terms of this Agreement. At its option,
Developer shall be entitled to delivery of any 

5

 

Products
(at the current state of production) and the costs (cost savings) of which are included within such cancellation charge. Any claim for an equitable adjustment hereunder shall, however, be
made by Mototech as soon as is practical, but no later than forty-five (45) days from the date such change is requested. Mototech agrees to accept any such changes subject to the
provisions of this Section and continue its diligent performance under the PO as so changed, which PO shall be modified in writing accordingly to reflect such change. Unless agreed in writing by
Developer, Mototech shall not purchase materials, or make commitments or production arrangements, in excess of the amount, or in advance of the time reasonably necessary to meet the required delivery
date as set forth on a PO. 

        E.
Mototech shall mark, package, store, transport and ship all Products to reasonably ensure (i) delivery thereof to the identified ultimate destination in safe condition,

All shipments shall be accompanied by the appropriate shipping documents, including without limitation, applicable customs and export documentation and an itemized packing list indicating the PO
number, description of the Products and total quantity by "lot" for such Products. Developer's count and/or weights shall be conclusive on shipments not accompanied by a conforming packing list. All
Products shall be insured for their replacement value with Developer named as an additional loss payee with respect to the same to the extent of its interest therein. All Products shall be
manufactured and delivered to Developer in accordance with the required delivery dates, time being of the essence. Mototech shall immediately notify Developer by telephone of the occurrence of any
delay and the period of such delay in the scheduled and or actual delivery of any PO or any portion thereof with respect to the required delivery date. If such delay in delivery is expected to be, or
is for a period of more than five (5) days and is not due to Developer's fault, Developer may, at its option, and by written notice to Mototech (a) agree to reschedule the delivery date
for the delayed PO or delayed portion thereof; or (b) require the Mototech to ship the Product by expedited air freight or other premium means and charge the Mototech with the cost difference. 

        F.
Mototech shall invoice Developer for the Products upon the actual shipment thereof to the Developer, and each invoice shall (i) reference the applicable PO number,
(ii) cover only a single PO or delivery thereunder, (iii) be itemized with respect to the Products so delivered, and (iv) be tendered to the appropriate address as set forth on
the PO. Such invoices shall be payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth on the face of such PO, or if none, payment shall be due thirty (30) days from, and any payment period or
discount related thereto shall begin upon, the later of Developer's receipt of the invoice or the Products. Developer may deduct from any payment due to Mototech or set-off against any
claim by Mototech any amount which is due to Developer by Mototech for any reason, including, among other reasons, any charges caused by deviations from the terms, conditions and provisions of a PO.
Unless otherwise set forth on the face of the PO, title and risk of loss with respect to the Products hereunder shall pass to Developer upon Developer's receipt of the conforming Products at the
destination designated by Developer on the face hereof. Prior to passage of title to Developer the Products shall be held by or on Mototech's behalf without risk or expense to Developer, and any
payments received by Mototech for the purchase of such Products shall be held in trust by Mototech pending such title transfer. 

        G.
In no event shall Mototech, without Developer's prior written consent, (i) make any changes to the Product, or (ii) make any changes to the manufacturing process for the
Product which detrimentally affect the Product's manufacturability, appearance, operation, reliability, performance or quality
