         WHEREAS, pursuant to and in compliance with Section 7(a) of the Plan,
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of CORESTAFF, Inc. (the
"Company") desires to amend the Option Agreement to continue to enhance the

                 1.       Section 11 of the Option Agreement is hereby amended
         in its entirety to read as follows:

                          "In the event Optionee, at any time during the term
                          of Optionee's employment with the Company, leaves the
                          Company's employment as a result of a Triggering
                          Event (as such term is defined in Optionee's
                          Employment Agreement dated as of July 1, 1997), then
                          the vesting of the Option shall automatically be
                          accelerated, so that all shares exercisable pursuant
                          to the Option outstanding will be exercisable
                          immediately and shall remain exercisable thereafter
                          for a period of at least three months (but in no
                          event beyond ten years from the date of grant of the
                          Option)."

                 2.       This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
         accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to
         principles of conflicts of laws.

                 3.       All other terms and conditions contained in the
         Option Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
