<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear
Mr.&nbsp;O'Donnell: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;+&nbsp;1.5%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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)&nbsp;weeks, beginning Monday,
October&nbsp;27<SUP>th</SUP>, and continuing until the balance above is paid in full. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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)&nbsp;years to purchase two (2)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;days without cure. Moreover, if such a default occurs and is not cured in ten (10)&nbsp;days, and the Warrant must be released to
Advantage, Advantage agrees that it will not exercise the warrant for a period of (i)&nbsp;six (6)&nbsp;months from the date hereof, or (ii)&nbsp;fifteen (15)&nbsp;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. </FONT></P>
