        NON-COMPETE AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT
        (the

        is made

STRATUS

        a
        Delaware company (“Stratus”)
        and
ACCOUNTABILITIES,

        Delaware corporation (“Accountabilities”),
        and the respective affiliates, officers, directors and/or principals of each
        of

      RECITALS:

      

      WHEREAS,
        Accountabilities and Stratus have executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Asset
        Purchase Agreement”) whereby Accountabilities has purchased certain assets
        related to the ongoing clerical and light industrial staffing business of
        Stratus at the offices located in Bellflower, California and West Covina,
        California (the “Purchased Assets”); and

      

      WHEREAS,
        Accountabilities and Stratus are currently parties to a certain Outsourcing
        Agreement, as amended, which clarifies certain non-competition and
        non-solicitation provisions among the parties; and

      

      WHEREAS,
        Accountabilities possesses substantial information and knowledge regarding
        the
        Purchased Assets; and

      

      WHEREAS,
        the parties desire to enter into an agreement whereby Accountabilities
        acknowledges its obligations under the Outsourcing Agreement, and reaffirms
        same
        except as amended hereby. 

      

      NOW,
        THEREFORE, for consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
        acknowledged, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
        agree as follows:

      

      Confidentiality
        and Trade Secrets

      

      Accountabilities
        acknowledges that it has had access to confidential information concerning
        Stratus’ business and clients relating thereto, including their business
        affairs, special needs, preferred methods of doing business, methods of
        operation, key contact personnel and other data, all of which provides
        Accountabilities with a competitive edge and none of which is readily available
        except to Stratus.

      

      Accountabilities
        further acknowledges that it has had access to the names, addresses, telephone
        numbers, qualifications, education, accomplishments, experience, availability,
        resumes and other data regarding persons who have applied or been recruited
        for
        temporary or permanent employment relating to the Stratus’ business, as well as
        job order specifications and the particular characteristics and requirements
        of
        persons generally hired by a client, specific job listings, mailing lists,
        computer runoffs, financial and other information, all of which provides
        Accountabilities with a competitive edge and none of which is readily available
        except to Stratus.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      Accountabilities
        agrees that all of the foregoing information regarding Stratus’ business and all
        clients and employees related thereto constitutes valuable and proprietary
        trade
        secrets and confidential information of Stratus (hereafter “Confidential
        Information”).

      

      Non-Competition
        Agreement

      

      Accountabilities
        agrees that it will not, during the three
        (3)
        year
        period commencing with the Effective Date of the Asset Purchase Agreement
        (“Restrictive Period”) service, solicit, compete in the geographic area or deal
        with any customers or future customers of Stratus’ existing nationwide customers
        and accounts that operate in the geographic area of the CA Branch
        Offices.

      

      Non-Disclosure
        Agreement

      

      Accountabilities
        agrees that except as directed by Stratus, it will not at any time use for
        any
        reason or disclose to any person any of the Stratus Confidential Information
        or
        permit any person to examine and/or make copies of any documents which may
        contain or are derived from Confidential Information, whether prepared by
        Stratus or otherwise, without the prior written permission of
        Stratus.

      

      No
        Adequate Remedy at Law

      

      Accountabilities
        acknowledges and agrees that any
        breach or threatened breach by of this Agreement by Accountabilities would
        cause
        immediate and irreparable injury to Stratus and that money damages alone
        would
        not provide an adequate remedy
        in the
        event Accountabilities breaches any of the above covenants. Accordingly,
        Accountabilities agrees that Stratus shall have the right to seek and obtain
        an
        injunction to enjoin any such breach by Accountabilities without the requirement
        of the posting of a bond and, if Stratus shall institute any action or
        proceeding to enforce those covenants, Accountabilities hereby waives and
        agrees
        not to assert the claim or defense that Stratus has an adequate remedy at
        law.
        The foregoing shall not prejudice Stratus’ right to require Accountabilities to
        account for and pay over to Stratus the amount of any damages incurred by
        Stratus as a result of any such breach.

      

      Scope
        and Duration

      

      It
        is
        expressly understood and agreed that Stratus and Accountabilities consider
        the
        restrictions contained in this Agreement to be reasonable and necessary for
        the
        purposes of preserving and protecting the goodwill, legitimate business
        interests, and proprietary trade secrets and confidential information of
        Stratus. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by
        a court
        having jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or to be overbroad as to geographic
        area, or time,
        or with
        respect to a particular scope of commerce,
        or to
        be otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions set forth
        above to be modified by such court so as to be reasonable and enforceable
        and,
        as so modified by the court, to be fully enforced.

      Successors
        and Assigns

      

      This
        Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
        and their respective heirs, successors and assigns, except that neither party
        may assign its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
        the
        other parties hereto; provided,
        however,
        that
        either party may assign its rights hereunder to a subsidiary or affiliate,
        provided
        that the
        party assigning shall remain liable for its obligations hereunder. Any
        assignment in contravention of this provision shall be null and void. No
        assignment shall release either party from any obligation or liability under
        this Agreement.

        Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith, all schedules

        and
        agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof

        negotiations, commitments and understandings between such parties. The parties,

        as
        may be agreed upon, by a written instrument executed by both
        parties.

        Law

        Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws

      The

      Severability

      

      The
        invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not
        affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this

      RECITALS:

      

      WHEREAS,
        Source One and Stratus have executed an Asset Purchase Agreement whereby
        Source
        One has purchased a portion of Stratus’ business as more particularly described
        in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchased Business”); and

      

      WHEREAS,
        Stratus has retained that portion of its business other than the Purchased
        Business (the “Retained Business”), which includes nationwide customers and
        accounts; and

      

      WHEREAS,
        Stratus possesses substantial information and knowledge regarding the Purchased
        Business; and

      

      WHEREAS,
        the parties desire to enter into an agreement whereby Stratus agrees not
        to
        compete with Source One relating to the Purchased Business.

      

      NOW,
        THEREFORE, for consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
        acknowledged, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
        agree as follows:

      (a) Stratus

        Purchased Business and clients relating thereto, including their business
        affairs, special needs, preferred methods of doing business, methods of

        with a competitive edge and none of which is readily available except to
        Stratus
        and Source One.

      

      (b) Stratus
        further acknowledges that it has had access to the names, addresses, telephone
        numbers, qualifications, education, accomplishments, experience, availability,
        resumes and other data regarding persons who have applied or been recruited
        for
        temporary or permanent employment in connection with the Purchased Business,
        as
        well as job order specifications and the particular characteristics and
        requirements of persons generally hired by a client, specific job listings,
        mailing lists, computer runoffs, financial and other information, all of
        which
        provides Stratus with a competitive edge and none of which is readily available
        except to Stratus and Source One.

      

      (c) Stratus
        agrees that all of the Confidential Information, including, but not limited
        to
        the information described in Sections 1(a) and (b), constitutes valuable

                Non-Competition
                  Agreement

              

      

      

      Stratus
        agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates, that neither it
        nor
        any affiliate will, during the two (2) year period commencing with the Effective

        in, permit their names to be used in connection with, or otherwise be engaged
        in

        that
        doing so in any manner would interfere with, diminish and otherwise jeopardize

        of
        this Section 2, “participate” includes any direct or indirect interest in any
        enterprise, whether as a stockholder, partner, joint venturer or otherwise
        or

      Stratus
        agrees that except as directed by Source One, it will not at any time use
        for
        any reason or disclose to any person any Confidential Information of Source
        One
        or permit any person to examine and/or make copies of any documents which
        may
        contain or are derived from Confidential Information, whether prepared by
        Stratus or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Source
        One.

                  Not to Compete for Accounts or
                  Personnel

              

      

      

      (a) Stratus,
        for itself and on behalf of its affiliates, agrees that during the Restrictive
        Period neither it nor any affiliate will, directly or indirectly, solicit,
        cause
        any other person to solicit or assist any other person in soliciting, the
        employment of, or hire as a staff employee, leased employee, temporary employee
        or otherwise engage as a contractor, any person who is, at the time of such
        solicitation, hiring or engagement, or who was within twelve (12) months
        of such
        solicitation, hiring or engagement, a staff employee, leased employee, temporary
        employee or contractor of Source One or the Purchased Business and it will
        not
        induce any person employed or engaged by Source One in any capacity to terminate
        his or her employment or engagement with Source One; provided that the foregoing
        shall not prohibit any general solicitation or advertising activities not
        targeted to any such person by Stratus or any affiliate.

      

      (b) Stratus,
        for itself and on behalf of its affiliates, agrees that during the Restrictive
        Period neither it nor any affiliate will, directly or indirectly, solicit,
        cause
        any other person to solicit, or assist any other person with soliciting any
        customer or client or prospective customer

      or
        client
        of Source One or the Acquired Business to (i) terminate or otherwise modify
        such customer’s or client’s relationship with Source One or (ii) become a
        customer or client of another company which is in competition with Source
        One.

      

      (c) Nothing
        contained in this Section 4 shall be deemed to prohibit or otherwise limit
        Stratus’ ability to service the Retained Business.

      

      
        	
                5.

              	
                No
                  Adequate Remedy at Law

              

      

      

      Stratus
        acknowledges and agrees that any
        breach or threatened breach by of this Agreement by Stratus would cause
        immediate and irreparable injury to Source One and that money damages alone
        would not provide an adequate remedy
        in the
        event Stratus breaches any of the above covenants. Accordingly, Stratus agrees
        that Source One shall have the right to seek and obtain an injunction to
        enjoin
        any such breach by Stratus without the requirement of the posting of a bond
        and,
        if Source One shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce those
        covenants, Stratus hereby waives and agrees not to assert the claim or defense
        that Source One has an adequate remedy at law. The foregoing shall not prejudice
        Source One’s right to require Stratus to account for and pay over to Source One
        the amount of any damages incurred by Source One as a result of any such
        breach.

                Scope
                  and Duration

              

      

      

      It
        is
        expressly understood and agreed that Stratus and Source One consider the
        restrictions contained in this Agreement to be reasonable and necessary for
        the
        purposes of preserving and protecting the goodwill, legitimate business
        interests, and proprietary trade secrets and confidential information of
        Source
        One. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court
        having jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or to be overbroad as to geographic
        area, or time,
        or with
        respect to a particular scope of commerce,
