ADVANTAGE’s
xxxxxxxx to STRATUS shall be in ADVANTAGE’s standard format, which is set forth
on Exhibit C attached hereto, the general form of which STRATUS hereby
acknowledges. STRATUS shall, upon receipt of each ADVANTAGE weekly invoice,
pay
one hundred percent (100%) of such invoice in the form of wire transfer,
for
that prior week’s payroll, less a $1,350,000 cushion (which includes a $600,000
receivable due from Stratus to ALS, such receivable being more particularly
described in the APA), on the Due Date, Friday. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xx. has

one
hundred twenty (120) days from May 19, 2005, an additional $750,000 for a

guarantee will again decrease to a maximum of $500,000. All invoiced amounts

deliver to Stratus and Stratus shall, upon receipt of same, deliver a copy
to
Capital Temp Funds, or any successor lender thereto (the “Lender”), a notice of
Payment Default (“Notice of Default”) (Email to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, CFO, is
considered notice by ALS to Stratus and fax to Xxx Xxxxxxx is considered
notice
to Capital Temp Funds by Stratus). Delivery of a Notice of Default shall
constitute a material breach under the Outsourcing Agreement, ALS shall
simultaneously, upon occurrence of a Payment Default, give five (5) business
days notice to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xx. that it intends to collect against
his
guarantee.

All
invoices for services rendered by ALS for Stratus’ payrolls for week endings

1.2(a) of the APA, subject to the new Section
8. INVOICING
and
payment terms hereunder.”
