RESTATED
CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT*

(as amended through March 9, 2005)

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the [SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE
A], is by and between SPHERION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter
referred to as the “Company”), and [SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE A] (hereinafter
the “Executive”).

RECITALS

A.            The Board of Directors
of the Company (the “Board”) considers it essential to the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders that its key management personnel
be encouraged to remain with the Company and its subsidiaries and to continue
to devote full attention to the Company’s business in the event that any third
person expresses its intention to complete a possible business combination with
the Company, or in taking any other action which could result in a “Change
in Control” (as defined herein) of the Company. In this connection, the
Board recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control and the
uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management may result in the
departure or distraction of key management personnel to the detriment of the
Company and its stockholders. The Board has determined that appropriate steps
should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and
dedication of key members of the Company’s management to their assigned duties
without distraction in the face of the potentially disturbing circumstances
arising from the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company.

B.            The
Executive currently serves as the Company’s [SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE A], and
[her/his] services and knowledge are valuable to the Company in connection with
the management of its business.

C.            The
Board believes the Executive has made and is expected to continue to make
valuable contributions to the productivity and profitability of the Company and
its subsidiaries. Should the Company receive a proposal from a third person
concerning a possible business combination or any other action which could
result in a Change in Control, in addition to the Executive’s regular duties,
the Executive may be called upon to assist in the assessment of such proposal,
advise management and the Board as to whether such proposal would be in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and to take such other
actions as the Board might determine to be necessary or appropriate.

D.            Should
the Company receive any proposal from a third person concerning a possible
business combination or any other action which could result in a change in
control of the Company, the Board believes it imperative that the Company and
the Board be able to rely upon the Executive to continue in [her/his] position,
and that the Company and the Board be able to receive and rely upon [her/his]
advice, if so requested, as to the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders without concern that [she/he] might be distracted by the personal
uncertainties and risks created by such a proposal, and to encourage Executive’s
full attention and dedication to the Company.

[E.           The Company and the Executive are parties to
that certain Change in

Control Agreement
dated [SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE A] (the “Prior CIC Agreement”).

F.             The Company and the
Executive desire to terminate the Prior CIC Agreement (and any predecessor
change in control agreements) and to enter into this Agreement, which
supercedes the Prior CIC Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth.]

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

NOW, THEREFORE, to assure
the Company and its subsidiaries that it will have the continued, undivided attention,
dedication and services of the Executive and the availability of the Executive’s
advice and counsel notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a
Change in Control of the Company, and to induce the Executive to remain in the
employ of the Company and its subsidiaries, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Company and the Executive agree as follows.

1.             Change in Control. (Amended March 9, 2005)
For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Company
shall be deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events as such are
defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended: (i) a
change in the ownership of the Company; (ii) a change in effective control of
the Company; or (iii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the
assets of the Company.”

2.             Adjustment
of Benefits upon Change in Control

(a)           The Company agrees that the Compensation
Committee of the Board, or such other committee succeeding to such committee’s
responsibilities with respect to executive compensation (collectively, the “Compensation
Committee”) may make such equitable adjustments to any performance targets
contained in any awards under the Company’s current incentive compensation
plans, or any additional or successor plan in which the Executive is a
participant (collectively, the “Incentive Plans”), as the Compensation
Committee determines may be appropriate to eliminate any negative effects from any
transactions relating to a Change in Control (such as costs or expenses
associated with the transaction or any related transaction, including, without
limitation, any reorganizations, divestitures, recapitalizations or borrowings,
or changes in targets or measures to reflect the disruption of the business,
etc.), in order to preserve reward opportunities and performance objectives.

(b)           In the case of a Change in Control, all
restrictions and conditions applicable to any awards of restricted stock or the
vesting of stock options or other awards granted to the Executive under the
Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, Deferred Stock Plan, any similar,
predecessor or successor plan, or otherwise shall be deemed to have been
satisfied as of the date the Change in Control occurs, and this Agreement shall
be deemed to amend any agreements evidencing such awards to reflect this
provision.

 2
 

3.             Termination Following Change in Control

(a)           The Executive’s employment may be terminated for any reason by the
Company following a Change in Control of the Company. If the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for the
reasons set forth in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) below within
two years following a Change in Control, then the Executive shall be entitled
to the benefits set forth in this Agreement in lieu of any termination,
separation, severance or similar benefits under the Executive’s Employment
Agreement, if any, or under the Company’s termination, separation, severance or
similar plans or policies, if any. If the Executive’s employment is terminated
for any of the reasons set forth in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v)
below, then the Executive shall not be entitled to any termination, separation,
severance or similar benefits under this Agreement, and the Executive shall be
entitled to benefits under the Executive’s Employment Agreement, if any, or
under the Company’s termination, separation, severance or similar plans or
policies, if any, only in accordance with the terms of such Employment
Agreement, or such plans or policies.

(i)            termination by reason of the Executive’s death, provided
the Executive has not previously given a “Notice of Termination”
pursuant to Section 4;

(ii)           termination by reason of the Executive’s “Disability,”
provided the Executive has not previously given a “Notice of
Termination” pursuant to Section 4;

(iii)          termination by reason of “retirement” at
or after age 65, provided the Executive has not previously given “Notice
of Termination” pursuant to Section 4;

(iv)          termination by the Company for “Cause;” or

(v)           voluntary termination by the Executive (other
than for “Good Reason” as provided in section 3(b) below).

For
the purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall be defined as the Executive’s
inability by reason of illness or other physical or mental disability to
perform the principal duties required by the position held by the Executive at
the inception of such illness or disability for any consecutive 180-day period.
A determination of disability shall be subject to the certification of a
qualified medical doctor agreed to by the Company and the Executive or, in the
Executive’s incapacity to designate a doctor, the Executive’s legal
representative. If the Company and the Executive cannot agree on the
designation of a doctor, each party shall nominate a qualified medical doctor
and the two doctors shall select a third doctor and the third doctor shall make
the determination as to disability.

For
purposes of this Agreement, “retirement” shall mean the Company’s
termination of the Executive’s employment at or after the date on which the
Executive attains age 65.

For
purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean one or more of the
following:

 3
 

(I)            the material violation
of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any written agreements
the Executive may from time to time have with the Company (after 30 days
following written notice from the Board specifying such material violation and
Executive’s failure to cure or remedy such material violation within such
30-day period);

(II)           inattention to or
failure to perform Executive’s assigned duties and responsibilities competently
for any reason other than due to Disability (after 30 days following written
notice from the Board specifying such inattention or failure, and Executive’s
failure to cure or remedy such inattention or failure within such 30-day
period);

(III)         engaging in activities or
conduct injurious to the reputation of the Company or its affiliates including,
without limitation, engaging in immoral acts which become public information or
repeatedly conveying to one person, or conveying to an assembled public group,
negative information concerning the Company or its affiliates;

(IV)         commission of an act of
dishonesty, including, but not limited to, misappropriation of funds or any
property of the Company;

(V)           commission by the
Executive of an act which constitutes a misdemeanor (involving an act of moral
turpitude) or a felony;

(VI)         the material violation of
any of the written Policies of the Company which are not inconsistent with this
Agreement or applicable law (after 30 days following written notice from
the Board specifying such failure, and the Executive’s failure to cure or
remedy such inattention or failure within such 30-day period);

(VII)        refusal to perform the
Executive’s assigned duties and responsibilities or other insubordination

or insubordination, and the Executive’s failure to cure or remedy such refusal
or insubordination within such 30-day period); or

(VIII)       unsatisfactory performance
of duties by the Executive as a result of alcohol or drug use by the Executive.

(b)           The Executive may terminate [her/his] employment
with the Company following a Change in Control of the Company for “Good
Reason” by giving Notice of Termination at any time within two years after
the Change in Control. Any failure by the Executive to give such immediate
notice of termination for Good Reason shall not be deemed to constitute a
waiver or otherwise to affect adversely the rights of the Executive hereunder, provided
the Executive gives notice to receive such benefits prior to the expiration of
such two year period. If the Executive terminates [her/his] employment as
provided in this Section 3(b), then the Executive shall be entitled to the
benefits set forth in this Agreement in lieu of any termination, separation,
severance or similar benefits under the Executive’s Employment Agreement, if
any, or under the Company’s termination, separation, severance or similar plans
or policies, if any.

 4
 

For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of
any one or more of the following events:

(I)            The assignment to the Executive of any duties
inconsistent in any material adverse respect with [her/his] position, authority
or responsibilities with the Company and its subsidiaries immediately prior to
the Change in Control, or any other material adverse change in such position,
including titles, authority, or responsibilities, as compared with the
Executive’s position immediately prior to the Change in Control;

(II)           A reduction by the Company in the amount of the
Executive’s base salary or annual or long term incentive compensation paid or
payable as compared to that which was paid or made available to Executive
immediately prior to the Change in Control; or the failure of the Company to
increase Executive’s compensation each year by an amount which is substantially
the same, on a percentage basis, as the average annual percentage increase in
the base salaries of other executives of comparable status with the Company;

(III)         The failure by the Company to continue to provide
the Executive with substantially similar perquisites or benefits the Executive
in the aggregate enjoyed under the Company’s benefit programs, such as any of
the Company’s pension, savings, vacation, life insurance, medical, health and
accident, or disability plans in which [she/he] was participating at the time
of the Change in Control (or, alternatively, if such plans are amended,
modified or discontinued, substantially similar equivalent benefits thereto,
when considered in the aggregate), or the taking of any action by the Company
which would directly or indirectly cause such benefits to be no longer
substantially equivalent, when considered in the aggregate, to the benefits in
effect at the time of the Change in Control;

(IV)         The Company’s requiring the Executive to be based
at any office or location more than 50 miles from that location at which
[she/he] performed [her/his] services immediately prior to the Change in
Control, except for a relocation consented to in writing by the Executive, or
travel reasonably required in the performance of the Executive’s
responsibilities to the extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s
business travel obligations prior to the Change in Control;

(V)           Any failure of the Company to obtain the
assumption of the obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor as
contemplated in Section 11 herein; or

(VI)         Any breach by the Company of any of the material
provisions of this Agreement or any failure by the Company to carry out any of
its obligations hereunder, in either case, for a period of thirty business days
after receipt of written notice from the Executive and the failure by the
Company to cure such breach or failure during such thirty business day period.

4.             Notice
of Termination

Any
termination of the Executive’s employment following a Change in Control, other
than a termination as contemplated by Sections 3(a)(i) or 3(a)(iii) shall be
communicated by written “Notice of Termination” by the party affecting
the termination to

 5
 

the other party hereto. Any “Notice
of Termination” shall set forth (a) the effective date of termination,
which shall not be less than 15 or more than 30 days after the date the
Notice of Termination is delivered (the “Termination Date”);
(b) the specific provision in this Agreement relied upon; and (c) in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
such termination and the entitlement, or lack of entitlement, to the benefits
set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within
fifteen (15) days after any Notice of Termination is given, the party
receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a good faith
dispute exists concerning the termination, the actual Termination Date shall be
the date on which the dispute is finally determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 18 hereof. In the case of any good faith dispute as
to the Executive’s entitlement to benefits under this Agreement resulting from
any termination by the Company for which the Company does not deliver a Notice
of Termination, the actual Termination Date shall be the date on which the
dispute is finally determined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 18 hereof. Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute
referred to in the two preceding sentences, the Company shall continue to pay
the Executive [her/his] full compensation then in effect and continue the
Executive as a participant in all compensation, benefits and perquisites in
which [she/he] was then participating, until the dispute is finally resolved, provided
the Executive is willing to continue to provide full time services to the
Company and its subsidiaries in substantially the same position, if so
requested by the Company. Amounts paid under this Section 4 shall be in
addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement and shall not be offset
against or reduce any other amounts due under this Agreement. If a final
determination is made, pursuant to Section 18, that Good Reason did not
exist in the case of a Notice of Termination by the Executive, the Executive
shall have the sole right to nullify and void [her/his] Notice of Termination
by delivering written notice of same to the Company within three (3)
business days of the date of such final determination. If the parties do not
dispute the Executive’s entitlement to benefits hereunder, the Termination Date
shall be as set forth in the Notice of Termination.

5.             Termination Benefits

(a)           Severance Payment. Subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, on the Termination Date the Company shall pay the Executive (reduced
by any applicable payroll or other taxes required to be withheld) a lump sum
severance payment, in cash, equal to two (2) times the sum of Executive’s
annual salary for the current year plus [her/his] annual incentive award target
for the current year (provided that if the Notice of Termination is given prior
to the determination of the Executive’s salary or annual incentive award target
for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, the amounts shall be based
on the annual salary for the prior year and the greater of the annual incentive
award target for the prior year or the actual incentive award earned by the
Executive for the prior year). The current year shall be (A) for the
purposes of determining annual salary, the year then generally used by the
Company for setting salaries for senior-level executives (currently
April 1 through the following March 31), and (B) for purposes of
determining annual incentive award target, the fiscal year then generally used
by the Company for setting annual incentive award targets for senior-level executives,
in which the Termination Date occurs, and the prior year shall be the
twelve-month period immediately preceding the current year;

 6
 

(b)           Expenses. Reimbursement for expenses incurred by the Executive in
accordance with the Company’s policy but not reimbursed prior to the date of
such termination of employment;

(c)           Payment of Deferred Compensation. Any compensation that has been earned by the
Executive but is unpaid as of the Termination Date, including any compensation
that has been earned but deferred pursuant to the Company’s Deferred
Compensation Plan or otherwise, shall be paid in full to the Executive on the
Termination Date.

(d)           Key Employee Exception. (Added March 9, 2005)
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent the
Executive is deemed a “key employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and notwithstanding any contrary
provision which exists in any of the Company’s deferred compensation plans, any
distribution of deferred compensation to the Executive will be delayed for a
period of 6 months after the Termination Date as required by Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

6.             Other Benefits

Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement hereof, the
following benefits (subject to any applicable payroll or other taxes required
to be withheld) shall be paid or provided to the Executive:

(a)           Health/Welfare Benefits

(i)            During the twenty-four (24) months following the
Termination Date (the “Continuation Period”), the Company shall continue
to keep in full force and effect all programs of medical, dental, vision,
accident, disability, life insurance, including optional term life insurance,
and other similar health or welfare programs with respect to the Executive and
[her/his] dependents with the same level of coverage, upon the same terms and
otherwise to the same extent as such programs shall have been in effect
immediately prior to the Termination Date (or, if more favorable to the
Executive, immediately prior to the Change in Control), and the Company and the
Executive shall share the costs of the continuation of such insurance coverage
in the same proportion as such costs were shared immediately prior to the
Termination Date (or, if more favorable to the Executive, immediately prior to
the Change in Control) or, if the terms of such programs do not permit
continued participation by the Executive (or if the Company otherwise
determines it advisable to amend, modify or discontinue such programs for employees
generally), the Company shall otherwise provide benefits substantially similar
to and no less favorable to the Executive in terms of cost or benefits (“Equivalent
Benefits”) than [she/he] was entitled to receive at the end of the period
of coverage, for the duration of the Continuation Period.

(ii)           All benefits which the Company is required by
this Section 6(a) to provide, which will not be provided by the Company’s programs
described herein, shall be

 7
 

provided through the purchase of
insurance unless the Executive is uninsurable. If the Executive is uninsurable,
the Company will provide the benefits out of its general assets.

(iii)          If the Executive obtains other employment during
the Continuation Period which provides health or welfare benefits of the type
described in Section 6(a)(i) hereof (“Other Coverage”), then Executive
shall notify the Company promptly of such other employment and Other Coverage
and the Company shall thereafter not provide the Executive and [her/his]
dependents the benefits described in Section 6(a)(i) hereof to the extent that
such benefits are provided under the Other Coverage. Under such circumstances,
the Executive shall make all claims first under the Other Coverage and then,
only to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Other Coverage, under the
plans and programs described in Section 6(a)(i) hereof.

(b)           Retirement Benefits

(i)            For purposes of this
Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Company’s termination of the
Executive’s employment within two years following a Change in Control of the
Company and at or after the date on which the Executive attains age 65;
provided, however, that any termination for Cause or due to Death or Disability
shall not constitute Retirement.

(ii)           Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), the Executive shall
be deemed to be completely vested under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, Deferred
Compensation Plan or other similar or successor plans which are in effect as of
the date of the Change in Control (collectively, the “Plans”),
regardless of the Executive’s actual vesting service credit thereunder.

(iii)          Any part
of the foregoing retirement benefits which are otherwise required to be paid by
a tax-qualified Plan but which cannot be paid through such Plan by reason of
the laws and regulations applicable to such Plan, shall be paid by one or more
supplemental non-qualified Plans or by the Company.

(iv)          The payments calculated hereunder which are not
actually paid by a Plan shall be paid thirty (30) days following the Date
of Termination in a single lump sum cash payment (of equivalent actuarial value
to the payment calculated hereunder using the same actuarial assumptions as are
used in calculating benefits under the Plan but using the discount rate that
would be used by the Company on the Date of Termination to determine the
actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations).

(c)           Executive Outplacement Counseling. During the Continuation Period, unless the
Executive shall reach normal retirement age during the Continuation Period, the
Executive may request in writing and the Company shall at its expense engage
within a reasonable time following such written request an outplacement
counseling service to assist the Executive in obtaining employment.

 8
 

7.             Payment of Certain Costs

Except
as otherwise provided in Section 18, if a dispute arises regarding a
termination of the Executive or the interpretation or enforcement of this
Agreement, subsequent to a Change in Control, all of the reasonable legal fees
and expenses incurred by the Executive and all Arbitration Costs (as hereafter
defined) in contesting any such termination or obtaining or enforcing all or
part of any right or benefit provided for in this Agreement or in otherwise
pursuing all or part of [her/his] claim will be paid by the Company, unless
prohibited by law. The Company further agrees to pay pre-judgment interest on
any money judgment obtained by the Executive calculated at the prime interest
rate reported in The Wall Street Journal in effect from time to time
from the date that payment to [her/his] should have been made under this
Agreement.

8.             This section intentionally left blank.

9.             Mitigation

The Executive is not required to seek other employment
or otherwise mitigate the amount of any payments to be made by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement, and employment by the Executive will not reduce or
otherwise affect any amounts or benefits due the Executive pursuant to this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 6(a)(iii).

10.           Continuing Obligations Regarding Confidential
Information

(a)           Acknowledgments by the Executive. The Executive hereby recognizes and
acknowledges the following:

(i)            In connection with the Business, the Company has
expended a great deal of time, money and effort to develop and maintain the
secrecy and confidentiality of substantial proprietary trade secret information
and other confidential business information which, if misused or disclosed,
could be very harmful to the Company’s business.

(ii)           The Executive desires to become entitled to
receive the benefits contemplated by this Agreement but which the Company would
not make available to the Executive but for the Executive’s signing and
agreeing to abide by the terms of this Section 10.

(iii)          The Executive’s position with the Company
provides the Executive with access to certain of the Company’s confidential and
proprietary trade secret information and other confidential business
information.

(iv)          The Company compensates its employees to, among
other things, develop and preserve business information for the Company’s ownership
and use.

(v)           If the Executive were to leave the Company, the
Company in all fairness would need certain protection in order to ensure that
the Executive does not appropriate and misuse any confidential information
entrusted to the Executive during the course of the Executive’s employment with
the Company.

 9
 

(b)                                 Confidential Information

(i)            The Executive agrees to keep secret and
confidential, and not to use or disclose to any third parties, except as
directly required for the Executive to perform the Executive’s employment
responsibilities for the Company, or except as required by law, any of the
Company’s confidential and proprietary trade secret information or other
confidential business information concerning the Company’s business acquired by
the Executive during the course of, or in connection with, the Executive’s
employment with the Company (and which was not known by the Executive prior to
the Executive’s being hired by the Company). Confidential information means
information which would constitute material, nonpublic information under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, regardless of whether the Executive’s use or disclosure
of such information is in connection with or related to a securities
transaction.

(ii)           The Executive acknowledges that any and all
notes, records, reports, written information or documents of any kind, computer
files and diskettes and other documents obtained by or provided to the
Executive, or otherwise made, produced or compiled during the course of the
Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the type of medium in
which it is preserved, are the sole and exclusive property of the Company and
shall be surrendered to the Company upon the Executive’s termination of
employment and on demand at any time by the Company.

(c)           Acknowledgment Regarding Restrictions. The Executive recognizes and agrees that the
provisions of this Section 10 are reasonable and enforceable because,
among other things, (i) the Executive is receiving compensation under this
Agreement and (ii)  this Section 10 therefore does not impose any undue
hardship on the Executive. The Executive further recognizes and agrees that the
provisions of this Section 10 are reasonable and enforceable in view of
the Company’s legitimate interests in protecting its confidential information.

(d)           Breach. In the event of a breach of Section 10(b), the Company’s sole
remedy shall be the discontinuation of the payment, allocation, accrual or
provision of any amounts or benefits as provided in Sections 5 or 6. The
Executive recognizes and agrees, however, that it is the intent of the parties
that neither this Agreement nor any of its provisions shall be construed to
adversely affect any rights or remedies that Company would have had, including,
without limitation, the amount of any damages for which it could have sought
recovery, had this Agreement not been entered into. Accordingly, the parties
hereby agree that nothing stated in this Section 10 shall limit or
otherwise affect the Company’s right to seek legal or equitable remedies it may
otherwise have, or the amount of damages for which it may seek recovery, in
connection with matters covered by this Section 10 but which are not based
on breach or violation of this Section 10 (including, without limitation,
claims based on the breach of fiduciary or other duties of the Executive or any
obligations of the Executive arising under any other contracts, agreements or
understandings). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in
this Section 10 or any other provision of this Agreement shall limit or
otherwise affect the Company’s right to seek legal or equitable remedies it may
otherwise have, or the amount of damages for which it may seek recovery,
resulting from or arising out of statutory or common law or any

 10
 

Company policies relating to
fiduciary duties, confidential information or trade secrets. Further, the
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the fact that Section 10(c) is
limited to the Continuation Period, and that the sole remedy of the Company
hereunder is the discontinuation of benefits, shall not reduce or otherwise
alter any other contractual or other legal obligations of the Executive during
any period or circumstance, and shall not be construed as establishing a
maximum limit on damages for which the Company may seek recovery.

11.           Binding
Agreement; Successors

(a)           This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company
shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company, by agreement to assume expressly and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore
defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid.

(b)           This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Executive and the Executive’s personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
beneficiaries, devises and legatees. If the Executive should die while any
amounts are payable to [her/his] hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise
provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, beneficiary or other designee or, if there
be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

12.           Notices

For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered by hand,
(ii) on the date of transmission, if delivered by confirmed facsimile,
(iii) on the first business day following the date of deposit if delivered
by guaranteed overnight delivery service, or (iv) on the third business
day following the date delivered or mailed by United States registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as
follows:

If to the Executive:

                                               

                                               

                                               

 11
 

If
to the Company:

Spherion Corporation

2050 Spectrum Boulevard

Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309

Attention: General Counsel

or to such other address
as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance
herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon
receipt.

13.           Governing Law

The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Florida, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

14.           Miscellaneous

No provisions of this Agreement may be amended,
modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, waiver, modification or
discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and the Company. No
agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are
not set forth expressly in this Agreement. Section headings contained herein
are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation
of this Agreement.

15.           Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
will constitute one and the same instrument.

16.           Non-Assignability

This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the
parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign, or transfer
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, except as provided in
Section 11. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive’s right to
receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, whether by
pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than a transfer by
his will or trust or by the laws of descent or distribution, and in the event
of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this paragraph the Company
shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or
transferred.

17.           Term of Agreement

The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall
commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect for a period of three
(3) years, unless further extended or sooner terminated as hereinafter
provided. At the end of this three year period and on the first day of each
one-year anniversary thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for
one additional year unless either party shall have given notice to the other
party, at least six months prior to such anniversary that it does not wish to
extend the Term. However, if a Change in Control of the Company shall

 12
 

have occurred during the original or any extended term of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of
twenty-four (24) months beyond the month in which such Change in Control
occurred; and, provided  further, that if the Company shall become
obligated to make any payments or provide any benefits pursuant to
Section 5 or 6 hereof, this Agreement shall continue for the period
necessary to make such payments or provide such benefits.

18.           Resolution of Disputes

(a)           The parties hereby agree to submit any claim, demand, dispute, charge
or cause of action (in any such case, a “Claim”) arising out of,
in connection with, or relating to this Change in Control Agreement to binding
arbitration in conformance with the J*A*M*S/ENDISPUTE Streamlined Arbitration
Rules and Procedures or the J*A*M*S/ ENDISPUTE Comprehensive Arbitration Rules
and Procedures, as applicable, but expressly excluding Rule 28 of the
J*A*M*S/ENDISPUTE Streamlined Rules and Rule 33 of the J*A*M*S/ENDISPUTE
Comprehensive Rules, as the case may be. All arbitration procedures shall be
held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and shall be subject to the choice of law
provisions set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement.

(b)           In
the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement for which
any party is seeking injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable
relief, such matter may be resolved by litigation. Accordingly, the parties
shall submit such matter to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Florida or, if jurisdiction is not
available therein, any other court located in Broward County, Florida, and
hereby waive any and all objections to such jurisdiction or venue that they may
have. Each party agrees that process may be served upon such party in any
manner authorized under the laws of the United States or Florida, and waives
any objections that such party may otherwise have to such process.

19.           Release and Conditions

Any
and all payments and benefits provided by the Company to the Executive under
this Agreement shall be conditioned on the following: (i) Executive’s continued
compliance with the confidentiality provisions contained herein; (ii) the Executive’s
execution of a full release and settlement of any and all claims against the
Company; and (iii) the Executive’s execution of a non-disparagement agreement
and continued compliance therewith.

20.           No Setoff

The Company shall have no right of setoff or
counterclaim in respect of any claim, debt or obligation against any payment
provided for in this Agreement.

21.           Non-Exclusivity of Rights

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive
or other plan or program provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
successors and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein
limit or reduce such rights as the Executive may have under any other agreements
with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or successors, except to the extent
payments are made

 13
 

pursuant to Section 5, they shall be in lieu of any termination,
separation, severance or similar payments pursuant to the Executive’s
Employment Agreement, if any, and the Company’s then existing termination,
separation, severance or similar plans or policies, if any. Amounts which are
vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under
any plan or program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be payable
in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this
Agreement.

22.           No
Guaranteed Employment

The Executive and the Company
acknowledge that this Agreement shall not confer upon the Executive any right
to continued employment and shall not interfere with the right of the Company
to terminate the employment of the Executive at any time.

23.           Invalidity of Provisions

In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law in any
jurisdiction, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions
thereof shall be unaffected as to such jurisdiction and such adjudication shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 10 hereof, is adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable because it is overbroad, that provision shall not be void but
rather shall be limited to the extent required by applicable law and enforced
as so limited. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this
Section 23 is reasonable in view of the parties’ respective interests.

24.           Non-Waiver of Rights

The failure by the Company or the Executive to enforce
at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time
performance by the other party of any of the provisions hereof shall in no way
be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to affect either the validity
of this Agreement, or any part hereof, or the right of the Company or the
Executive thereafter to enforce each and every provision in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

25.           Employment
Agreement.

If the Executive has an Employment Agreement with the
Company, and if circumstances arise which cause both the Employment Agreement
and this Agreement to apply to the Company and the Executive, then, to the
extent of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the
Employment Agreement, the terms of this Agreement alone shall apply. However,
if this Agreement does not apply, then the provisions of the Employment
Agreement shall control and be unaffected by this Agreement.

 14
 

26.           Unfunded Plan.

The Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be entirely
unfunded until payments are made hereunder from the general assets of the
Company, and no provision shall be made to segregate assets of the Company for
payments to be made under this Agreement. The Executive shall have no interest
in any particular assets of the Company but rather shall have only the rights
of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

PLEASE NOTE: BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE EXECUTIVE IS
HEREBY CERTIFYING THAT THE EXECUTIVE (A) HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS
AGREEMENT FOR REVIEW AND STUDY BEFORE EXECUTING IT; (B) HAS READ THIS
AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING IT; (C) HAS HAD SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY
BEFORE SIGNING THE AGREEMENT TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THE EXECUTIVE HAS ABOUT THE
AGREEMENT AND HAS RECEIVED SATISFACTORY ANSWERS TO ALL SUCH QUESTIONS; AND
(D) UNDERSTANDS THE EXECUTIVE’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE
AGREEMENT.

THIS AGREEMENT IN SECTION 18  CONTAINS A BINDING
ARBITRATION PROVISION WHICH MAY BE ENFORCED BY THE PARTIES.

[signatures appear on the following page]
