TEAMSTAFF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011 (UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:
TeamStaff, Inc. and its subsidiaries (TeamStaff or the Company, also referred to as we, us and our), provide a range of logistics, healthcare support and technical services to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and other US governmental entities. TeamStaffs primary operations are conducted through its subsidiary TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc. (TeamStaff GS), located in Loganville, Georgia and its principal executive office is located at 1776 Peachtree Street, NW, Atlanta, Georgia 30309, where its telephone number is (866) 952-1647.
Company History
TeamStaff is a New Jersey corporation that was founded in 1969. Today, TeamStaff is a national provider and prime contractor of logistics, healthcare delivery and other technical services to Federal Agencies, including the DVA and the DoD with over 800 employees performing in over 20 states throughout the country. In early 2010, the Company took important steps toward enhancing the value of TeamStaff by completing the divestiture of its commercial staffing business (TeamStaff Rx) and fully focusing its efforts on the government services market. The closing of this transaction occurred on January 4, 2010. As discussed in Note 3 to these consolidated financial statements, where additional information about this transaction is provided, the results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of TeamStaff Rx have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation. In connection with the refocusing of its operations, the Company completed a national search and appointed Zachary Parker as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Parker has subsequently transitioned the Companys executive and senior management team as well as its corporate infrastructure to better position the Company as a government services provider.
At present, TeamStaff GS, is the Companys only operating subsidiary. TeamStaffs other wholly-owned subsidiaries include DSI Staff ConnXions Northeast, Inc., DSI Staff ConnXions Southwest, Inc., TeamStaff Solutions, Inc., TeamStaff I, Inc., TeamStaff II, Inc., TeamStaff III, Inc., TeamStaff IV, Inc., TeamStaff VIII, Inc., TeamStaff IX, Inc., TeamStaff Rx, Inc., Digital Insurance Services, Inc., HR2, Inc. and BrightLane.com, Inc. As a result of the sale of our Professional Employer Organization (PEO) business in fiscal year 2004 and other Company business changes, these other subsidiaries are inactive.
(2) LIQUIDITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Liquidity
At June 30, 2011, the Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately $2.4 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.8 million. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred an operating loss and net loss of approximately $4.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and incurred an operating loss and net loss of approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The Company has a limited amount of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 and will be required to rely on operating cash flow and periodic funding, to the extent available, from its line of credit to sustain the operations of the Company unless it elects to pursue and is successful in obtaining additional debt or equity funding, as discussed below, or otherwise.
In an effort to improve the Companys cash flows and financial position, the Company, in fiscal 2011, has taken measures which are expected to enhance its liquidity by approximately $1,000,000 as a result of increasing the maximum availability of its credit facility and receiving funding of and/or commitments for additional equity and/or debt financing. In that regard, the Companys largest shareholder, Wynnefield Capital, Inc., and certain of its directors and executive officers provided assurances for future financings whereby they collectively agreed to provide up to $500,000 of additional capital to the Company if it determines, prior to February 28, 2012, that such funds are required (the Commitments). As described in Note 7, $150,000 of such capital was provided on March 31, 2011 and $350,000 of such capital was provided subsequent to June 30, 2011. In addition, as described in Note 6, on February 9, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment of its Loan and Security Agreement with Presidential Financial Corporation, pursuant to which they agreed to increase the maximum availability under the Loan and Security Agreement by an additional $500,000 and provide an unbilled receivable facility within the limits of the Loan and Security Agreement. Following this increase, the maximum availability under this loan facility is $3,000,000; subject to eligible accounts receivable. At June 30, 2011 the
amount available was $188,000. In addition, as described in greater detail below, the parties agreed to amend certain other provisions of the Loan Agreement, including an extension of the term of the Loan Agreement for an additional year and the Lender agreed not to seek to terminate the Loan Agreement without cause until after February 29, 2012. In addition, pursuant to its current credit facility, the financial institution also has the ability to terminate the Companys line of credit immediately upon the occurrence of a defined event of default, including among others, a material adverse change in the Companys circumstances or if the financial institution deems itself to be insecure in the ability of the Company to repay its obligations or, as to the sufficiency of the collateral. At present, the financial institution has not declared an event of default.
Management believes, at present, that: (a) cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 million as of June 30, 2011; (b) the $350,000 of capital available pursuant to the Commitments (which was provided subsequent to June 30, 2011); (c) the amounts available under its line of credit (which, in turn, is limited by a portion of the amount of eligible assets); (d) forecasted operating cash flow; (e) the ultimate non-payment of certain liabilities currently contested by the Company (classified as current at June 30, 2011) in fiscal 2011, or the applicable portion of 2012 and (f) effects of cost reduction programs and initiatives should be sufficient to support the Companys operations for twelve months from the date of these financial statements. However, should any of these factors not occur substantially as currently expected, there could be a material adverse effect on the Companys ability to access the level of liquidity necessary for it to sustain operations at current levels for the next twelve months. In such an event, management may be forced to make further reductions in spending or to further extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or to suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm the Companys business, financial position, results of operations and future prospects. Due to the foregoing there could be a future need for additional capital and the Company may pursue equity, equity-based and/or debt financing alternatives or other financing in order to raise any needed funds. If the Company raises additional funds by selling shares of common stock or convertible securities, the ownership of its existing shareholders would be diluted.
The Company derives a substantial amount of revenue from agencies of the Federal government and on May 5, 2011 was awarded a single source Blanket Purchase Agreement with the DVA for the procurement of integrated medical support for the Department of Veterans Affairs Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) program. This award represents both retention of existing work and expansion of new business at additional DVA locations. The tasks to be performed include project management and a range of pharmaceutical services in support of performance-based pharmaceutical production management at several DVA locations. The maximum total value under this award is expected to be approximately $140,000,000 pursuant to site-specific task orders to be rendered by the DVA during a five-year term expiring April 30, 2016. Work under this contract is expected to begin by October 1, 2011. The agreement is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations and there can be no assurance as to the actual amount of services that the Company will ultimately provide under the agreement. This agreement effectively provides for renewal and expansion of contracts that generated, in aggregate, approximately 45% of its revenue in the year ended September 30, 2010, in respect of which the Company currently holds order cover through December 31, 2011 under existing contracts. In addition, the Company also holds contractual order cover through December 31, 2011 in respect of DVA contracts that generated close to a further 50% of its revenue in the year ended September 30, 2010, which are not currently the subject of requests for proposals and may in due course be further extended by the DVA on a sole source basis, although no assurances can be given that this will occur.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by TeamStaff, without audit, pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. TeamStaff believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in TeamStaffs fiscal 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed on February 14, 2011. This interim financial information reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and changes in estimates, where appropriate) to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TeamStaff and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations, cash flows, and related assets and liabilities of TeamStaff Rx have been reclassified to a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from those of continuing businesses for all periods presented.
Revenue Recognition
TeamStaff accounts for its revenues in accordance with ACS 605-45, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, and SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. TeamStaff recognizes all amounts billed to its customers as gross revenue because, among other things, TeamStaff is the primary obligor in the contract. TeamStaff has pricing latitude and is at risk for the payment of its direct costs TeamStaff also recognizes as gross revenue its unbilled receivables, on an accrual basis. These amounts relate to services performed by employees which have not yet been billed to the customer as of the end of the accounting period.
TeamStaff GS is seeking approval from the Federal government for gross profit on retroactive billing rate increases associated with certain government contracts at which it had employees performing in accordance with contract requirements. These adjustments are due to changes in the contracted wage determination rates. A wage determination is the listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers whom the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has determined to be prevailing in a given locality. Contractors performing services for the Federal government under certain contracts are required to pay their employees no less than the wage rates and fringe benefits found prevailing in these localities. An audit by the DOL in 2008 at one of the facilities revealed that notification, as required by contract, was not provided to TeamStaff GS in order to effectuate the wage increases in a timely manner. Wages for contract employees on assignment at the time have been adjusted prospectively to the prevailing rate and hourly billing rates to the DVA have been increased accordingly. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff recognized nonrecurring revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million, based on amounts that are contractually due under its arrangements with the Federal agencies. At June 30, 2011, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximates $9.3 million and the related accrued salary and benefits for direct costs approximates $8.7 million. The Company has been and continues to be in discussions with representatives of the Government regarding the matter and anticipates resolution during fiscal 2011. In addition, TeamStaff is in the process of addressing a final amount related to gross profit on these adjustments. As such, there may be additional revenues recognized in future periods once the approval for such additional amounts is obtained. The ranges of additional revenue and gross profit are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.6 million. At present, the Company expects to collect such amounts during fiscal 2011, based on current discussions and collection efforts. Because these amounts are subject to government review, no assurances can be given that we will receive any additional amounts from our government contracts or that if additional amounts are received, that the amount will be within the range specified above.
Direct costs of services are reflected in TeamStaffs Consolidated Statements of Operations as direct expenses and are reflective of the type of revenue being generated. Direct costs include wages, employment related taxes and reimbursable expenses.
Goodwill
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, TeamStaff does not amortize the goodwill associated with TeamStaff GS. TeamStaff continues to review its goodwill for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting units carrying amount is greater than its fair value. At September 30, 2010, we performed a goodwill impairment analysis. For the purposes of this analysis, our estimates of fair value are based on the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the TeamStaff GS unit based on the future discounted cash flows. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company has concluded that no impairment loss on goodwill was warranted at September 30, 2010. Major assumptions in the valuation study were the estimates of probability weighted future cash flows, the estimated terminal value of TeamStaff GS and the discount factor applied to the estimated future cash flows and terminal value. Estimates of future cash flows were developed by management having regard to current expectations and potential future opportunities. A terminal value for the forecast period was estimated based upon data of public companies that management believes to be similar with respect to the Companys economics, products and markets. The discount factor used was a cost of capital estimate obtained from a leading third party data provider. The resulting estimated fair value of goodwill exceeded the carrying value at September 30, 2010 by more than 40%, resulting in no impairment charge being taken against goodwill. However, a non-renewal of a major contract or other substantial changes in the assumptions used in the valuation study could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of goodwill in future periods and the resulting charge could be material to future periods results of operations.
If an impairment of all the goodwill became necessary, a charge of up to $8.6 million would be expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. All remaining goodwill is attributable to the TeamStaff GS reporting unit. TeamStaff has concluded, at present, that an interim impairment test is not required and there is not any required impairment of goodwill.
Intangible Assets
As required by applicable accounting standards, TeamStaff does not amortize its tradenames, an indefinite life intangible asset. TeamStaff continues to review its indefinite life intangible assets for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that an assets carrying amount is greater than its fair value. At September 30, 2010, we performed an intangible asset impairment analysis. For the purposes of this analysis, our estimates of fair value are based on the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the intangible assets based on the future discounted cash flows. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company concluded that an impairment loss on intangible assets in the amount of $1.3 million was warranted at September 30, 2010. Major assumptions in the valuation study were the estimates of probability weighted future cash flows, the estimated terminal value of the Company and the discount factor applied to the estimated future cash flows and terminal value. Estimates of future cash flows were developed by management having regard to current expectations and potential future opportunities. A terminal value for the forecast period was estimated based upon data of public companies that management believes to be similar with respect to the Companys economics, products and markets. The discount factor used was a cost of capital estimate obtained from a leading third party data provider. The resulting estimated fair value of tradenames were less than the carrying value at September 30, 2010 by approximately $1.3 million, resulting in an impairment charge of that amount being taken against the tradenames. In addition, a non-renewal of a major contract or other substantial changes in the assumptions used in the valuation study could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of tradenames in future periods and a resulting charge would be material to future periods results of operations. If an additional impairment write-off of all the tradenames and intangible assets became necessary, a charge of up to $2.6 million would be expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. TeamStaff has concluded, at present, that an interim impairment test is not required and there is not any required impairment of its tradenames.
Income Taxes
TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. This guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2011, the Company provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance of approximately $14.5 million.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation costs for the portion of awards (for which the requisite service has not been rendered) that are outstanding are recognized as the requisite service is rendered. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for recognition purposes under applicable guidance. As of June 30, 2011, there is $137,000 remaining in unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested option awards and $150,000 remaining for unvested restricted stock expense for a total unrecognized stock expense of $287,000 to be recognized in future periods.
Stock Options and Restricted Stock
There was share-based compensation expense for options for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 of $17,000 and $18,000, respectively. There was share-based compensation expense for options for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 of $64,000 and $88,000, respectively.

Also during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, the Company granted 500,000 options per the terms of an employment agreement with the Companys new Chief Executive Officer and President and recorded share-based compensation expense of $45,000. For the remaining unvested options, the Company will recognize a non-
cash compensation charge over the Chief Executive Officers remaining service period, for the calculated fair value of these options based on market values, historical stock performance and exercisability assumptions specific to this grant. Such charges will be material in future periods. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, 5,750 options expired or were cancelled unexercised and no options were exercised.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, TeamStaff did not grant any shares of restricted stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, TeamStaff granted 35,000 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors under its 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, at the closing price on the award date of $.56. All of these shares vested immediately. Stock compensation expense associated with these grants was $20,000 and $14,000 for all other grants for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, no shares of restricted stock vested. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, 77,500 shares of restricted stock vested.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, TeamStaff did not grant any shares of restricted stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, TeamStaff granted 42,500 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors under its 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (2006 Plan), at the closing price on the award date of $1.34. All of these shares vested immediately. Stock compensation expense associated with these grants and all other grants totaled $23,000 and $218,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

At June 30, 2011, there were 222,500 options outstanding that were vested and exercisable and an additional 750,000 options outstanding that vest to the recipients when the market value of the Companys stock achieves and maintains defined levels. The Company used a binomial valuation model and various probability factors in establishing the fair value of these options.
In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee (the Committee) of the Board of Directors of the Company approved proposed grants of an aggregate of 425,000 employee stock options to certain executive officers, subject to the approval by the Companys stockholders, of an amendment to the Companys 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted under such plan. If such options are awarded, they will be subject to time-based and performance based vesting criteria as established by the Committee.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in the money options on those dates. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Companys stock.

At June 30, 2011, there were 52,500 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding. As of June 30, 2011, there is $150,000 remaining costs related to non-vested restricted stock awards.
The values ascribed to warrants issued under a June 1, 2011 convertible debt agreement (see Note 7) were determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method.
Changes in Shareholders Equity
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, additional paid in capital increased by $87,000 as a result of warrants issued and stock compensation expense. In addition, $5,625 of credits of one of the March 31, 2011 purchasers of equity via rights of offset were applied by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2011 in respect of 11,481 shares. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, additional paid-in capital increased by $320,000 as a result of recognized stock compensation expense, the equity raise from certain of the Companys officers and directors and the Companys agreement with Wynnefield Capital and related warrants. Also, $7,500 of credits of one of the March 31, 2011 purchasers of equity via rights of offset were applied by the Company during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 in respect to 15,308 shares (see Note 7). For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, there were a total of 587,781 shares issued and 53,846 warrants issued. As the warrants were issued in connection with a debt agreement, debt agreement costs and additional paid in capital increased by $42,000. In addition, at June 30, 2011 the Company has accrued debt agreement costs of $32,000.
Financial Instrument Note
The Company has financial instruments, principally accounts receivable, accounts payable, loan payable, notes payable, and accrued expense. TeamStaff estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of these financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share is calculated by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and restricted stock grants that vested or are likely to vest during the period. As such effects are anti-dilutive, there were no differences in the number of weighted average shares outstanding in determining basic and diluted loss per share in each of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATION:
Other Income of PEO Operation
During the three months ended June 30, 2011 the State of Florida determined that approximately $270,000 of escheated funds it was holding was the property of the Company and ordered that such funds be paid to the Company. The Companys right to the funds arose in connection with the Companys former PEO operations that were accounted for as a discontinued operation in fiscal 2003. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the amounts receivable as income from discontinued operations in the current period after concluding that the amount involved was not material to the results of operations in the year of discontinuance and the funds were received subsequent to June 30, 2011.
Sale of TeamStaff Rx
Based on an analysis of historical and forecasted results and the Companys new strategic initiative to focus on core government services business, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company approved and committed to a formal plan to divest the operations of TeamStaff Rx, Inc. a former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which was focused on commercial temporary staffing. In evaluating the facets of TeamStaff Rxs operations, management concluded that this business component met the definition of a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results of operations, cash flows and related assets and liabilities of TeamStaff Rx for all periods presented have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from those of continuing businesses.
Effective December 28, 2009, TeamStaff and TeamStaff Rx entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with Advantage RN, providing for the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of TeamStaff Rx related to TeamStaff Rxs business of providing travel nurse and allied healthcare professionals for temporary assignments to Advantage RN. The closing of this transaction occurred on January 4, 2010. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that the purchased assets were acquired by Advantage RN for a purchase price of up to $425,000, of which: (i) $350,000 in cash was paid at the closing, and (ii) $75,000 was subject to an escrowed holdback as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. On March 25, 2010, the Company and Advantage RN completed the analysis related to
escrow release conditions and reached an agreement as to the final purchase price. Of the $75,000 held in escrow, $25,000 was returned to the Company and $50,000 was released to Advantage RN, resulting in a final purchase price of $375,000. Additionally, Advantage RN was obligated to make rent subsidy payments to TeamStaff Rx totaling $125,000, consisting of: (i) $25,000 paid at closing, and (ii) an additional $100,000 payable in 10 equal monthly installments beginning on March 1, 2010. The last rent payment received from Advantage RN was in July 2010. They have since vacated the premises and ceased making installment payments. The Company intends to pursue a claim against Advantage RN for all amounts owed. The Company has provided an allowance for their estimate of uncollectible sub-lease funding. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Advantage RN did not assume any debts, obligations or liabilities of TeamStaff Rx nor did it purchase any accounts receivable outstanding as of the closing date.

4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Payroll Taxes
TeamStaff has received notices from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claiming taxes, interest and penalties due related to payroll taxes predominantly from its former PEO operations which were sold in fiscal 2003. TeamStaff has also received notices from the IRS reporting overpayments of taxes. Management believes that these notices are predominantly the result of misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities. If not resolved favorably, the Company may incur interest and penalties. Until the sale of certain assets related to the former PEO operations, TeamStaff operated through 17 subsidiaries, and management believes that the IRS has not correctly identified payments made through certain of the different entities, therefore leading to the notices. To date, TeamStaff
has been working with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and has had certain interest and penalty claims abated. TeamStaff has also received notices from the Social Security Administration claiming variances in wage reporting compared to IRS transcripts. TeamStaff believes the notices from the Social Security Administration are directly related to the IRS notices received. TeamStaff had retained the services of Ernst & Young LLP as a consultant to assist in resolving certain of these matters with the IRS and Social Security Administration. TeamStaff believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, any significant interest and penalties will be abated; however, there can be no assurance that each of these matters will be resolved favorably. In settling various years for specific subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company has received refunds for those specific periods; however, as the process of settling and concluding on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed, the potential exists for related penalties and interest and the remaining liability ($1.3 million at June 30, 2011) has been recorded in accounts payable and includes estimated penalties and interest currently sought by the IRS totaling approximately $500,000.
The Company believes it has accrued for the entire estimated remaining liability, inclusive of interest and penalties through the date of the financial statements. The Company will incur additional interest and may incur possible additional penalties through the future date that this obligation is settled, however, it is not currently possible to estimate what, if any, additional amount(s) may be claimed in future, given the uncertain timing and nature of any future settlement negotiations. In fiscal 2009, the Company paid $1.1 million, related to this matter. No payments were made in fiscal 2010 or fiscal 2011. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future results of operations. The Companys intention is that it will in due course seek to negotiate a mutually satisfactory payment plan with the IRS, but there is no assurance that it would be successful in doing so and the Companys future cash flows and liquidity could therefore be materially affected by this matter.
Rent Subsidy from Advantage RN
In connection with our disposition of TeamStaff Rx, Advantage RN was obligated to make rent subsidy payments to TeamStaff Rx totaling $125,000, consisting of: (i) $25,000 paid at closing, and (ii) an additional $100,000 payable in 10 equal monthly installments beginning on March 1, 2010. The last rent payment received from Advantage RN was in July 2010. They have since vacated the premises and ceased making installment payments. While the landlord of these premises is seeking damages from the Company for unpaid amounts, the Company intends to pursue a claim against Advantage RN for amounts owed, which the Company presently estimates is $50,000. The Company has provided an allowance for the estimated uncollectible sub-lease funding. The Company has nevertheless accrued for the remaining rent payments.
Legal Proceedings
RS Staffing Services, Inc. Note
The Company originally acquired RS Staffing Services in June 2005. As part of the purchase price of the acquisition, the Company issued to the former owners of RS Staffing Services: (i) $3.0 million of promissory notes (the Notes), of which $1.5 million in principal and interest of $150,000 was paid in June 2006; and (ii) certain stock in the Company. On May 31, 2007, the Company sent a notice of indemnification claim to the former owners for costs that have been incurred in connection with an investigation of the former owners for matters prior to the sale. The Company was not a target of the investigation. The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation and dispute in the amount of $19,000 and $35,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation and dispute in the amount of $78,000 and $92,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). Cumulative costs related to this matter, which have all been expensed, approximate $1.8 million. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement with RS Staffing Services, the Company notified the former owners of RS Staffing Services of the Companys intention to exercise its right to set off the payment of such expenses against the remaining principal and accrued interest due to the former owners of RS Staffing Services. The former owners of RS Staffing Services notified the Company of their disagreement with the Companys course of action and of the existence of partial counter-claims in regard to allegations that the Company without due cause failed to permit them to sell certain of their stock in the Company. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the parties have successfully negotiated a settlement following mediation, as provided for in the stock purchase agreement.
Pursuant to the final agreement relating to this matter (the Agreement), the Company has paid $200,000 in cash to the former owners of RS Staffing (the Former Owners), issued them an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Company common stock , and agreed to permit the Former Owners to resell an aggregate of 201,724 other shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. presently held by them, against which the Company had previously placed a stop order preventing their resale. The Former Owners agreed to orderly
sale limitations with respect to their ability to resell all their shares of common stock. In accordance with these limits, during the 90-day period commencing on the effective date of the Agreement, neither Former Owner will resell in excess of 33,000 shares of TeamStaff common stock previously held by them during any 30-day period without the consent of TeamStaff. With respect to the new shares of TeamStaff common stock to be issued pursuant to the Agreement, commencing on the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the Agreement, neither Former Owner will resell in excess of 25,000 shares during any 30-day period without the consent of TeamStaff.
In addition, TeamStaff provided guarantees to the Former Owners that the net proceeds to be received by them from the resale of all of the shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. sold by them pursuant to the Agreement would not be less than certain minimum guarantees. With respect to the shares of common stock owned by them prior to the effective date of the Agreement (the Old TeamStaff Shares), TeamStaff guaranteed to the Former Owners, aggregate net proceeds totaling $200,000 and with respect to the shares of common stock of TeamStaff issued under the Agreement (the New TeamStaff Shares), TeamStaff guaranteed net proceeds totaling $750,000.
The payments of all amounts under the Agreement are secured by the Notes. Upon receipt by the Former Owners of (i) the payment of $200,000 made on July 29, 2011 by TeamStaff following the execution of the Agreement and (ii) the proceeds realized from the sale of the Old TeamStaff Shares and New TeamStaff Shares, or the guarantees, the Notes shall be deemed satisfied in full. In addition, the parties agreed to release each other from any further claims that either may have against the other, except to enforce the Agreement.
In accounting for the Agreement, the fair value ascribed to the New TeamStaff Shares was based on the closing price of the common stock on July 29, 2011, the date of the Agreement. The effects of this settlement, which will consider the impact and extent of the Companys guarantee, will be assessed and accounted for in the Companys quarter ending September 30, 2011. The June 30, 2011 consolidated balance sheet reflects the payment and likely settlement of the Agreement; as a result, the recorded amounts of the $1.5 million promissory note and the related accrued interest payable have been reclassified to reflect the timing of cash payments.
Other Matters
As a commercial enterprise and employer, we are subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. These matters can include professional liability, employment-relations issues, workers compensation, tax, payroll and employee-related matters and inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding our employment practices or other matters. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that we believe is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In connection with its medical staffing business, TeamStaff is exposed to potential liability for the acts, errors or omissions of its contract medical employees. The professional liability insurance policy provides up to $5,000,000 aggregate coverage with a $2,000,000 per occurrence limit. Although TeamStaff believes the liability insurance is reasonable under the circumstances to protect it from liability for such claims, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover all potential claims.
TeamStaff is engaged in no other litigation, the effect of which is expected to have a material adverse impact on TeamStaffs results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Leases
On June 29, 2011, TeamStaff, Inc. entered into a lease agreement (the New Lease) for property located at 1776 Peachtree Street, NW, Atlanta, Georgia (the New Premises) with an affiliate of the Landlord of its existing offices at 1 Executive Drive, Somerset, New Jersey (the Somerset Offices). Payment of rent under the New Lease will commence 90 days after certain remodeling is completed and the New Premises are ready to be occupied. The New Premises consist of approximately 4,000 square feet and the annual base rent under the New Lease is initially approximately $75,500 and will periodically increase to a maximum of approximately $88,700. Pending the Companys occupancy of the New Premises, the Company is being provided with interim premises at the same location by its landlord at no additional charge to its lease payment in respect of the Somerset Offices. The lease for the Somerset Offices will remain in effect until the New Premises are ready to be occupied, at which time the Landlord and the Company have agreed in a lease surrender agreement executed in conjunction with the New Lease that the Somerset Offices may be immediately surrendered at no charge. The term of the New Lease is for a period of 68 months commencing upon the New Premises being ready for occupancy.
(5) PREPAID WORKERS COMPENSATION:
As part of the Companys discontinued PEO operations, TeamStaff had a workers compensation program with Zurich, which covered the period from March 22, 2002 through November 16, 2003, inclusive. Payments for the policy were made to a trust monthly based on projected claims for the policy period. Interest on all assets held in the trust is credited to TeamStaff. Payments for claims and claims expenses are made from the trust. From time-to-time, trust assets have been refunded to the Company based on Zurichs and managers overall assessment of claims experience and historical and projected settlements. In June 2009 and March 2008, Zurich reduced the collateral requirements on outstanding workers compensation claims and released $114,000 and $350,000, respectively, in trust account funds back to the Company. However, during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, approximately $0.1 million of expense was recognized following increases in reserves considered necessary by Zurich. The final amount of trust funds that could be refunded to the Company is subject to a number of uncertainties (e.g. claim settlements and experience, health care costs, the extended statutory filing periods for such claims); however, based on a third partys study of claims experience, TeamStaff estimates that at June 30, 2011, the remaining prepaid asset of $0.2 million will be received within the next twelve months. The amount is reflected on TeamStaffs balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 as a current asset, in addition to approximately $0.2 million related to current policy deposits.
(6) DEBT:
Current Facility
On July 29, 2010, TeamStaff GS entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Presidential Financial Corporation (the Lender). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a two (2) year loan and security facility to TeamStaff GS in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. In November 2010, the Lender agreed, by means of an amendment to the Loan Agreement, to increase the maximum amount available under the facility from $1.5 million to $2.5 million. In February 2011 the Company and Lender further increased the maximum availability under the Loan Agreement by an additional $500,000 to $3.0 million and provided an unbilled receivable facility within the limits of the Loan Agreement. An interest rate premium of 2% is payable in respect of any advances secured by unbilled accounts receivable, which are subject to a sub-facility limit of $500,000 and an advance rate of 75%. The loan is secured by a security interest and lien on all of TeamStaff GSs accounts, account deposits, letters of credit and investment property, chattel paper, furniture, fixtures and equipment, instruments, investment property, general intangibles, deposit accounts, inventory, other property, all proceeds and products of the foregoing (including proceeds of any insurance policies and claims against third parties for loss of any of the foregoing) and all books and records related thereto. TeamStaff GSs ability to request loan advances under the Loan Agreement is subject to: (i) computation of TeamStaff GSs advance availability limit based on eligible accounts receivables (as defined in the Loan Agreement) multiplied by the Accounts Advance Rate established by the Lender which initially shall be 85% and may be increased or decreased by the Lender in exercise of its discretion; and (ii) compliance with the covenants and conditions of the loan. The loan was initially for a term of 24 months and after giving effect to the February 2011 amendment, which also extended the term of the Loan Agreement by 12 months, will mature on July 29, 2013.
Interest on the loan accrues on the daily-unpaid balance of the loan advances secured by billed receivables. Following the February 2011 amendment to the Loan Agreement, the interest rate under the Loan and Security Agreement is the greater of (a) 3.25% or (b)(i) 1.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the accounts receivable portion of the credit line and (ii) 3.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the unbilled accounts portion. The interest rate at June 30, 2011 was 5.2%. In addition, TeamStaff GS will pay certain other related fees and expense reimbursements including a monthly service charge of 0.65% based on the average daily loan balance which shall accrue daily and be due and payable on the last day of each month so long as the Loan Agreement is outstanding. At June 30, 2011, the amount of the unused availability under the line was $188,000. The amount outstanding as of June 30, 2011 was $2,169,000.
The Loan Agreement requires compliance with customary covenants and contains restrictions on the Companys ability to engage in certain transactions. Among other matters, under the loan agreement we may not, without consent of the Lender, (i) merge or consolidate with another entity, form any new subsidiary or acquire any interest in a third party; (ii) acquire any assets except in the ordinary course of business; (iii) enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) sell or transfer collateral; (v) make any loans to, or investments in, any affiliate or enter into any transaction with an affiliate other than on an arms-length basis; (vi) incur any debt outside the ordinary course of business; (vii) pay or declare any dividends or other distributions; or (viii) redeem, retire or purchase any of our equity interests exceeding $50,000. In addition, the Loan Agreement requires TeamStaff GS to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $1,000,000 on a trailing 12-month basis. Further, without the consent of the Lender, the Company is also restricted from making any payments in respect of other outstanding indebtedness. The Lender may terminate the
Loan Agreement at any time upon 60 days written notice after February 29, 2012 and the Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default following which the Lender may, at its option, terminate the loan agreement and accelerate the repayment of any amount outstanding. The defined events of default include, among other things, a material adverse change in the Companys circumstances, or if the Lender deems itself insecure in the ability of the Company to repay its obligations, or as to the sufficiency of the collateral.
As part of the February 2011 amendment, the Lender also agreed to waive the Companys non-compliance with the covenant under the Loan Agreement to furnish them with a copy of TeamStaff GS financial statements within 90 days after the end of its fiscal year. In addition to granting this waiver, the Lender also agreed to modify this covenant to require that the Company provide them, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year and, in addition, at the same time, furnish consolidating income statement and balance sheet schedules, including a reconciliation with TeamStaff GSs financial information.
TeamStaff has concurrently executed a Corporate Guaranty Agreement with Lender pursuant to which it has guaranteed all of the obligations of TeamStaff GS under the Loan Agreement.
(7) EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES FINANCING
On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with a limited number of accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of $225,000 for 459,181 shares of its Common Stock to such persons in a private transaction (the Equity Investment). The purchasers participating in the transaction are members of the Companys Board of Directors and management team (the Purchasers). The transaction closed on March 31, 2011. Of this amount, the Company received $150,000 in total cash proceeds for the purchase of the shares of Common Stock and three of the purchasers agreed with the Company to pay the purchase price for the shares of Common Stock by granting an offsetting credit to the Company for an amount equal to the purchase price and authorizing the Company to apply such credit against any obligation of the Company to such person within twelve months of the closing date, except for base salary. The shares to which the credit relates are to be held by the Company until the credit is applied and will be cancelled upon the one-year anniversary to the extent the credit is not applied. The aggregate amount of such credits totaled $75,000. As of the nine months ended June 30, 2011, $7,500 of such rights of offset were exercised by the Company in respect of 15,308 shares. The Company has used these cash proceeds for general working capital. The value ascribed to the Equity Investment was based on the fair value of the Companys stock on March 31, 2011. On May 18, 2011, the Company issued 51,020 shares of Common Stock to its counsel in connection with an arrangement to cancel $25,000 of outstanding fees.
On June 1, 2011, the Company entered into a debenture purchase agreement (the Debenture Purchase Agreement) with entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. (the Debenture Purchasers), providing for a standby commitment pursuant to which the Debenture Purchasers agreed to purchase convertible debentures (the Convertible Debentures) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000 (the Total Commitment Amount). During the 24-month commitment term, upon at least five (5) days written notice by the Company, the Debenture Purchasers will purchase Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount specified in such notice up to the Total Commitment Amount. In addition, the Company issued the Debenture Purchasers warrants to purchase an aggregate of 53,846 shares of common stock (the Warrants) in consideration of their agreement to provide the Total Commitment Amount. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, all of the Convertible Debentures have been sold by Company. The Company has drawn down the entire amount of available funds under the Debenture Purchase Agreement, of which $200,000 will be used for the initial payments under the Agreement relating to the settlement with the former owners of RS Staffing. The closing of the drawdown occurred on July 28, 2011, and on such date the Company issued the Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to the Debenture Purchasers, against its receipt of such funds.
The Convertible Debentures will mature on the 27-month anniversary of issuance and bear interest at the rate of the greater of the prime rate plus 5%, or 10% per annum, payable at maturity or upon redemption of such Convertible Debentures. The Convertible Debentures are convertible into shares of the Companys common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share, which was in excess of the fair market value of the Companys common stock at that date. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment to account for certain customary events and also will include weighted-average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Company, subject to certain exclusions. The Company can also redeem the outstanding Convertible Debentures at any time at 120% of the remaining principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The Warrants will be exercisable for five years at an initial exercise price equal to $1.00. The initial exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for certain customary events and includes weighted average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Company, subject to certain exclusions.
In connection with the parties entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company, TeamStaff GS, the Debenture Purchasers and Presidential Financial Corporation entered into subordination agreements concerning the terms of the subordination of the Convertible Debentures to the secured loan facility provided by Presidential Financial Corporation. Under the subordination agreements, the Company may not make payments to the Debenture Purchasers under the Convertible Debentures unless before and following such payments, no Event of Default exists under the secured loan facility.
The Debenture Purchasers are entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc., the Companys largest shareholder. Mr. Peter Black, a member of the Companys Board of Directors, is an employee of Wynnefield Capital. The Convertible Debentures and Warrants will be restricted securities issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
At June 30, 2011, direct costs associated with the Debenture Purchase Agreement totaled $32,000. These costs (and those incurred in prospective periods) and the values ascribed to the warrants of $42,000 have been and will be capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized over the period that such debentures are outstanding or the Debenture Agreement is effective.`

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
See Note 2 of TeamStaffs 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates contained therein for a discussion on critical accounting policies and estimates.
Goodwill
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, TeamStaff does not amortize the goodwill associated with TeamStaff GS. TeamStaff continues to review its goodwill for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting units carrying amount is greater than its fair value. At September 30, 2010, we performed a goodwill impairment analysis. For the purposes of this analysis, our estimates of fair value are based on the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the TeamStaff GS unit based on the future discounted cash flows. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company has concluded that no impairment loss on goodwill was warranted at September 30, 2010. Major assumptions in the valuation study were the estimates of probability weighted future cash flows, the estimated terminal value of the Company and the discount factor applied to the estimated future cash flows and terminal value. Estimates of future cash flows were developed by management having regard to current expectations and potential future opportunities. A terminal value for the forecast period was estimated based upon data of public companies that management believes to be similar with respect to the Companys economics, products and markets. The discount factor used was a cost of capital estimate obtained from a leading third party data provider. The resulting estimated fair value of goodwill exceeded the carrying value at September 30, 2010 by more than 40%, resulting in no impairment charge being taken against goodwill. However, a non-renewal of a major contract or other substantial changes in the assumptions used in the valuation study could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of goodwill in future periods and the resulting charge could be material to future periods results of operations.
If an impairment of all the goodwill became necessary, a charge of up to $8.6 million would be expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. All remaining goodwill is attributable to the TeamStaff GS reporting unit.
Intangible Assets
As required by applicable accounting standards, TeamStaff does not amortize its tradenames, since such asset is an indefinite life intangible asset. TeamStaff continues to review its indefinite life intangible assets for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that an assets carrying amount is greater than its fair value. At September 30, 2010, we performed an intangible asset impairment analysis. For the purposes of this analysis, our estimates of fair value are based on the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the intangible assets based on the future discounted cash flows. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company has concluded that an impairment loss on intangible assets in the amount of $1.3 million was warranted at September 30, 2010. Major assumptions in the valuation study were the estimates of probability weighted future cash flows, the estimated terminal value of the company and the discount factor applied to the estimated future cash flows and terminal value. Estimates of future cash flows were developed by management having regard to current expectations and potential future opportunities. A terminal value for the forecast period was estimated based upon data of public companies that management believes to be similar with respect to the Companys economics, products and markets. The discount factor used was a cost of capital estimate obtained from a leading third party data provider. The resulting estimated fair value of tradenames were less than the carrying value at September 30, 2010 by approximately $1.3 million, resulting in an impairment charge of that amount being taken against the tradenames. In addition, a non-renewal of a major contract or other substantial changes in the assumptions used in the valuation study could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of tradenames in future periods and a resulting charge would be material to future periods results of operations. If an additional impairment write off of all the tradenames and intangible assets became necessary, a charge of up to $2.6 million would be expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. TeamStaff has concluded, at present, that there is not any required impairment of its tradenames.
Income Taxes
TeamStaff accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. This guidance also requires that deferred tax assets
be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2011, the Company provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance of approximately $14.5 million.
Overview
Business Description
We are a national provider and prime contractor of logistics, healthcare delivery and other technical services to Federal Agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs; with over 800 employees performing in over 20 states throughout the country. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010 we began taking important steps toward enhancing the value of TeamStaff and have fully focused our efforts on the government services market, where we believe we have a proven track record of performance. In connection with the refocusing of our operations, we replaced our Chief Executive Officer who subsequently transitioned our executive and senior management team and corporate infrastructure to better position the company as a government services provider.
We derive our revenues primarily through contracts with the US government agencies that are focused on high priority national programs, and as a result, funding for our programs are generally linked to trends in US government spending in areas of veteran and military healthcare, defense logistics, and other agencies.
Having completed an extensive review and analysis of its core competencies, prospective growth markets within the Federal and DoD space, and its competitiveness within the addressable markets, TeamStaff has determined its three principal lines of services are as follows:
Logistics & Technical Services This line of service draws heavily upon TeamStaff GS proven logistics expertise and processes in areas involving supply chain management, performance-based logistics, third party logistics (3PL), inventory management, statistical process control, packaging/handling/storage & transportation, material and manpower readiness, supply support operations, and sustainment services. TeamStaff-developed tools and methodologies such as SPOT-m (Supply chain management Productivity Optimization Tool) along with Lean Six Sigma processes have lead to significant government savings, enhanced productivity and reduced error rates. In addition, this line of service embodies program and project management, engineering and prototype fabrication services, equipment and non-tactical vehicle operations and maintenance, hazardous material management, facilities and shipyard support services and more. In fiscal 2010, approximately 45% of our revenue was derived from this line of service.
Healthcare Delivery Solutions Leveraging our strong heritage in medical & pharmaceutical services, and associated facilities management TeamStaff is well positioned to expand and diversify its customer base in this area. TeamStaff-developed tools such as the web-based Practitioner Resource Allocation Tool (e-PRAT) coupled with expert recruiting talent and tools provide for a degree of differentiation needed to compete favorably in this space. Professional services have included critical care, medical assessment, pharmaceutical, medical/surgical, emergency room/trauma center, behavioral health and trauma brain injury. Allied support includes a wide range including MRI technology, diagnostic sonography, phlebotomy, dosimetry, physical therapy, pharmaceuticals and others. In fiscal 2010 approximately 45% of our revenue was derived from this line of service.
Contingency/Staff Augmentation This line of service combines the ability to provide disaster and emergency response services with our legacy staffing and workforce augmentation tools and services. TeamStaffs outstanding track record of response, mobilization and deployment of quality resources during hurricanes Rita and Katrina demonstrated its ability to support major federal and DoD opportunities in this area. General staffing and selective recruitment process outsourcing are key components of this business area. Less than 5% of fiscal 2010 revenue was derived from this line of service.
Management has streamlined the Companys strategic focus around these three lines of services and has established a cohesive set of business objectives. Equally important in this evolution is the decision to exit previous market focus areas with high barriers to entry and traditionally low margins for the Company (including commercial & federal IT and general administrative temporary staffing services). TeamStaffs principal operations are conducted through its subsidiary, TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc. (TeamStaff GS), a wholly owned subsidiary of TeamStaff, Inc.
TeamStaff is completely focused on successfully performing, effectively partnering, and profitably growing its direct and in-direct (as a sub-contractor to others) business with federal government agencies, namely the Department of Veteran Affairs (the DVA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). In recent years the Company has provided services for a range of DoD clients including but not
limited to, the US Army Installation Management Commands at Fort Benning and Fort Gordon, GA, the Army Transportation Center at Fort Eustis, VA, Patrick Air Force Base, FL, Seymore Johnson Air Force Base, NC, Madigan and Tripler Army Medical Centers, WA and HI respectively, National Naval Medical Centers, and the Army Corps of Engineers. In addition to its largest customer, the DVA, other federal non-DoD customers have included the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Treasury, the Forestry Service, FEMA and the Center for Disease Control.
TeamStaff currently remains particularly dependent on the continuation of its relationship with the DVA. As previously reported, in January 2008 TeamStaff GS was issued purchase orders to provide logistics and/or pharmaceutical support services at six of the DVAs seven consolidated pharmacy distribution centers from the DVA. Due to delays in government procurement acquisition, time extensions for locations serviced by TeamStaff GS have been granted by the DVA to us through December 31, 2011. The DVA released a new request for proposal related to pharmaceutical services in 2010 and the Company submitted a proposal in a timely manner in September 2010. On May 5, 2011, TeamStaff GS was awarded a new single source Blanket Purchase Agreement with the DVA for the procurement of pharmaceutical services at all of the DVA sites covered by the solicitation. This is expected to result in an increase in the annual run-rate of pharmaceutical services provided by the Company over that being performed under the expiring contracts and the maximum total value under this award is expected to be approximately $140,000,000 pursuant to site-specific task orders to be rendered by the DVA. The terms of these arrangements are currently expected to begin by October 1, 2011 and may continue for a five-year term expiring April 30, 2016. The agreement is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations and there can be no assurance as to the actual amount of services that the Company will ultimately provide under the agreement. Until such time as new task orders are rendered under the Blanket Purchase Agreement, TeamStaff GS is providing services to most of these locations under extensions to its existing agreement with the DVA.
TeamStaff has recently achieved a number of key milestones in support of its targeted addition of revenues beyond the DVA:
· In late June the Company was awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) prime contract by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division. This means that TeamStaff is now able to compete for prime Task Orders issued under the Navys SeaPort-es Multiple Award Contract vehicle which involves approximately $5.3 billion dollars of services being procured per year and is a top priority ID/IQ for Navy work in the Companys Logistics and Technical Services line of business. The award includes a three-year base period and a five-year award term that will be contingent on periodic performance reviews. Under the program, task orders are assigned to one of seven regional zones of performance, and the subset of companies with valid contracts for that particular zone can compete for individual task orders within the relevant zones and no assurance can be given as to the amount of revenue that the Company will receive as a result of this contract.
· During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company successfully implemented additional software modules in support of successfully competing for a broader range of contracts than previously held by the Company, including cost plus and other forms of contract pricing where a pre-requisite to contract award may include confirmation by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) that the Companys accounting system meets applicable criteria. Following the implementation of the additional software modules, the Company believes it should satisfy such requirements.
Recent Business and Industry Trends
Management remains committed to retaining and expanding its business with the DVA, while leveraging its strengths to profitably grow new business in adjacent defense logistics and healthcare accounts. Having developed a more robust pipeline of new business opportunities for both near-term and long-term objectives, we continue to see delays in government agency awards, due in part, to the Continuing Resolution under which the federal government is currently appropriating funds for government agencies and shortage in the government acquisition workforce. During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011, the government services industry overall was severely impacted by the Federal Governments dependence upon the Continuing Resolution for fiscal year funding. Many government contract awards were delayed, while others were operating with substantially reduced funding. We believe that TeamStaff has been able to weather this period in large part because DVAs healthcare services for Veterans is considered a national priority and was exempt from shut down considerations. While this allowed for continuation of existing business, the Company did not obtain new business revenue from the DVA and other agencies for which TeamStaff has pending bids and prospective awards.
Though our nations economic issues continue to create headwinds for all federal markets, management has found that many government services industry analysts project a favorable market outlook. Based on its research and market analysis, management believes that the Federal Governments healthcare budget remains a top priority and that U.S. Defense Logistics Agency will continue to be the largest contractor base agency.
President Obamas proposed FY2012 Veterans Affairs budget provides $58.8 billion for operational costs at the DVA and $65.5 billion for veterans benefits representing an approximately 10 percent increase over the budget enacted in fiscal 2010. It includes significant appropriations (approximately $208 million) to implement an expansion of benefits for those caring for service members severely wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also provides advanced appropriations for DVAs medical care program for 2013 which uniquely implements a multi-year budgeting approach. In addition, as military drawdown occurs in Central Commands area of responsibility (especially Iraq and Afghanistan) the U.S. veteran population is expected to rise as well as the associated medical and pharmaceutical services.
The federal commitment to healthcare transcends the DVA and includes a budgetary commitment to continually improve the Military Health System (including TRICARE) and its support to our servicemen. The FY2012 Budget in this figure recognizes the DoD increase in the Defense Health Program.

Between fiscal year 2001 and fiscal year 2010, the overall DoD budget authorization and spending outlays, including wartime funding for U.S. Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) in Iraq and Afghanistan has had a compound annual growth rate of 9%. While we believe the U.S. Government will continue to place a high priority on national security, we anticipate that future DoD base budgets will grow at a slower rate compared to the recent past and flatten or modestly decline in selected areas, particularly as it relates to the procurement of new complex weapon systems and platforms (such as ships and aircraft). Further, pressure for deficit reduction and reduced national spending, including the recently enacted legislation signed by President Obama on August 2, 2011, has created an environment where national security spending will also be closely examined and possibly reduced. On April 15, 2011, President Obama signed the fiscal year 2011 appropriations bill legislated by Congress that funds the federal government for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. The appropriation provided for a DoD base budget of $531 billion and a $158 billion budget for OCO. The fiscal year 2011 appropriations represents a $3 billion, or 1%, increase over the fiscal year 2010 DoD base budget, but is $18 billion, or 3%, below the base budget requested by the Obama Administration of $549 billion.
The fiscal year 2012 DoD base budget request of $553 million was submitted by the Obama Administration to Congress on February 14, 2011 and included then Secretary Gates January 6, 2011 defense budget outlook in which he identified $78 billion in DoD reductions for the five year fiscal period of 2012 to 2016 compared to the same period in the fiscal year 2011 request. The fiscal year 2012 budget request also includes $118 billion of supplemental appropriations for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), which is $41 billion lower from the OCO request for fiscal year 2011 of $159 billion, due primarily to the planned draw down of U.S. military forces from Iraq by December 31, 2011.

Revenues
Revenues from TeamStaffs operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $10.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively, which represent an increase of $0.5 million or 5% over the prior fiscal year period. Revenues from TeamStaffs operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $31.6 million and $30.7 million respectively, which represents an increase of $0.9 million or 3% over the prior fiscal period. These increases in revenues are due in part to the approximately $1.5 million in new business awarded during the second quarter in addition to expansion of work on existing contracts.
Direct Expenses
Direct expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $9.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses were 85.7% and 86.7%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. See the discussion on gross profit directly below for an explanation of the decrease in direct expenses as a percentage of revenue. Direct expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $27.3 million and $27.0 million. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses were 86.3% and 88.0%, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. See the discussion on gross profit directly below for an explanation of the reduction in direct expenses as a percentage of revenue. The increases in direct expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 over the prior year comparable periods were due to increases in labor-intensive revenues.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively which represents an increase of $0.2 million or 15% over the prior fiscal year period. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, was 14.3% and 13.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $4.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, which represents an increase $0.6 million or 16% over the prior fiscal year period. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, was 13.7% and 12.0%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Gross margins increased over the comparable quarter in the prior year due to a combination of additional revenue as mentioned above and an increase in the mix of business with a higher than average gross margin percentage. As shown in the chart below, gross profit has continued to grow with a fourth consecutive quarter of increase.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $1.8 representing no change from prior year. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $4.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, which represent a decrease of $0.4 million, or 7.5%. The decrease reflects managements cost reduction initiatives, which have included: elimination of duplicate or non-essential positions; indirect travel restrictions; salary freeze; a temporary furlough program for corporate workforce; negotiating significant cost reductions with vendors, and other measures.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $28,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $87,000 for each of the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.3 million as compared to loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $0.5 million. This represents an improvement of $0.2 million in results from operations from the prior fiscal period. Loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.6 million as compared to loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 of $2.0 million. This represents an improvement of $1.4 million in results from operations from the prior fiscal period. The improvements are attributed in part to the aforementioned increase in gross profits, reduction in SG&A expenses and the non-recurrence of officer severance incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2011.
Interest and Other Expenses
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $111,000 and $47,000 respectively. This represents an increase of $64,000. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $218,000 and $100,000, respectively, for an increase of $118,000. These increases were due to increased borrowings under our existing credit facility.
The Company recorded other expense of $19,000 and $35,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $78,000 and $92,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to legal representation and investigation and dispute related costs incurred in connection with the resolution of our dispute with the former principals of RS Staffing Services. These expenses are classified as non-operating expenses because the primary issue of our dispute relates to activity prior to the acquisition.
Income Tax
The Company has provided a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance because it believes that it cannot be considered more likely than not that it will be able to realize the full benefit of the deferred tax asset. The Company determined that negative evidence, including historic and current taxable losses, as well as uncertainties related to the ability to utilize certain Federal and state net loss carry forwards, outweighed any objectively verifiable positive factors, and as such, concluded that a valuation allowance was necessary. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company historically has considered all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. The Company did not record a Federal or State tax benefit or expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and recorded expense of $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
The Company did not record a Federal or State tax benefit or expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and recorded expense of $43,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010
Loss from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.4 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, as compared to loss from continuing operations of $0.6 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.9 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, as compared to loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million, or $0.44 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Discontinued Operations
A non-recurring gain from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $270,000 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 the State of Florida determined that approximately $270,000 of escheated funds it was holding was the property of the Company and ordered that such funds be paid to the Company. The Companys right to the funds arose in connection with the Companys former PEO operations that were accounted for as a discontinued operation in fiscal 2003 and, accordingly, the Company has recognized the amounts receivable as income from discontinued operations in the current period after concluding that the amount involved was not material to the results of operations in the year of discontinuance and the funds were received subsequent to June 30, 2011.
There was no gain or loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.2 million or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, with loss from operations of the TeamStaff Rx discontinued business of $0.8 million. This includes the operating loss as well as a charge of $0.1 million for severance to certain TeamStaff Rx employees and $0.3 million in various accrued expenses related to the sale and shut down of the business. The loss from disposal of the TeamStaff Rx discontinued business was $0.3 million, comprised of expenses approximating $0.3 million principally from recognition of the remaining unfunded operating lease payments, net of estimated rent subsidy, as well as legal expenses related to the sale.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.1 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This represents a reduction in net loss of $0.5 million, which reflects an increase in gross margin of $0.2 and a gain from discontinued operations of $0.3 million in 2011.
Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.7 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.67 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This represents a reduction in net loss of $2.7 million primarily due to improved focus on cost management (gross profit of $0.7 million and reductions of $0.4 million in
SG&A expenses), as well as both officer severance in the amount of $0.3 million and a loss from discontinued operation of $1.2 million recorded in the nine months ended June 30, 2010, together with a gain from discontinued operations of $0.3 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2011.
Potential Contractual Billing Adjustments
TeamStaff GS is seeking approval from the Federal government for gross profit on retroactive billing rate increases associated with certain government contracts at which it had employees performing in accordance with contract requirements. These adjustments are due to changes in the contracted wage determination rates. A wage determination is the listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers whom the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has determined to be prevailing in a given locality. Contractors performing services for the Federal government under certain contracts are required to pay their employees in various classes no less than the wage rates and fringe benefits found prevailing in these localities. An audit by the DOL in 2008 at one of the facilities revealed that notification, as required by contract, was not provided to TeamStaff GS in order to effectuate the wage increases in a timely manner. Wages for contract employees on assignment at the time have been adjusted prospectively to the prevailing rate and hourly billing rates to the DVA have been increased accordingly. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, TeamStaff recognized nonrecurring revenues of $10.8 million and direct costs of $10.1 million, based on amounts that are contractually due under its arrangements with the Federal agencies. At June 30, 2011, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximates $9.3 million and the related accrued salary and benefits for direct costs approximates $8.7 million. The Company has been and continues to be in discussions with representatives of the DVA regarding the matter and anticipates resolution during fiscal 2011. In addition, TeamStaff is in the process of negotiating a final amount related to gross profit on these adjustments. As such, there may be additional revenues recognized in future periods once the approval for such additional amounts is obtained. The ranges of additional revenue and gross profit are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.6 million. At present, the Company expects to collect such amounts during fiscal 2011 based on current discussions and collection efforts. Because these amounts are subject to government review, no assurances can be given that we will receive any additional amounts from our government contracts or that if additional amounts are received, that the amount will be within the range specified above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources; Commitments
At June 30, 2011 the Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately $2.4 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.8 million. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred an operating loss and net loss of approximately $4.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and incurred an operating loss and net loss of approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The Company has a limited amount of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 and will be required to rely on operating cash flow and periodic funding, to the extent available, from its line of credit to sustain the operations of the Company unless it elects to pursue and is successful in obtaining additional debt or equity funding, as discussed below, or otherwise.
In an effort to improve our cash flows and financial position, in fiscal 2011, we have taken measures which have enhanced our liquidity by approximately $1,000,000 as a result of increasing the maximum availability of our credit facility and receiving funding of and/or commitments for additional equity and/or debt financing at June 30, 2011. Our largest shareholder, Wynnefield Capital, Inc., and certain of our directors and executive officers provided assurances for future financings whereby they collectively agreed to provide up to $500,000 of additional capital to us if we determine, prior to February 28, 2012, that such funds are required (collectively, the Commitments). As described in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements, $150,000 of such capital was provided in cash on March 31, 2011 through the equity investments provided by members of our Board and management team and, as discussed in Note 7, $350,000 of such capital was provided subsequent to June 30, 2011. In addition, a further $75,000 of credits were granted by certain individuals against Company obligations due such persons at March 31, 2011. In addition, as described in greater detail below, on February 9, 2011, we entered into an amendment of our Loan Agreement with Presidential Financial Corporation, pursuant to which they agreed to increase our maximum availability under the Loan Agreement by an additional $500,000 and provide an unbilled receivable facility within the limits of the Loan Agreement. Following this increase, the maximum availability under this loan facility is $3,000,000; limited to eligible accounts receivable.
Management believes that: (a) cash and cash equivalents of approximately $700,000 as of June 30, 2011; (b) the $350,000 of available capital pursuant to the Commitments (which was provided subsequent to June 30, 2011); (c) the amounts available under its line of credit (which, in turn, is limited by the amount of eligible assets); (d) forecasted operating cash flow; (e) the ultimate non-payment of certain liabilities we are currently contesting (classified as current at June 30, 2011) in fiscal 2011, or the applicable portion of 2012 and (f) the effects of cost reduction programs and initiatives, will be sufficient to support our operations for twelve months from the
date of these financial statements. However, should any of these factors not occur substantially as currently expected, there could be a material adverse effect on our ability to access the level of liquidity necessary for us to sustain operations at current levels for the next twelve months. In such an event, management may be forced to make further reductions in spending or to further extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or to suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects. Due to the foregoing there could be a future need for additional capital and we may pursue equity, equity-based and/or debt financing alternatives or other financing in order to raise needed funds. If we raise additional funds by selling shares of common stock or convertible securities, the ownership of our existing shareholders would be diluted.
Cash from operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $2.3 million. This decrease in cash was primarily driven by net loss, an increase in accounts receivable due to a temporary slowdown in cash collections that occurred during this period and a decrease in the accrued expenses. At June 30, 2011 Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was approximately 15 days as compared to approximately 11 DSO at September 30, 2010.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.5 million. This decrease in cash was primarily driven by net losses, including payments related to the disposal of the discontinued operation, as well as an increase in accounts receivable, offset by an increase in accrued payroll and accrued expenses.
Cash from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $24,000 for costs related to the purchase of fixed assets.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $191,000 primarily for costs associated with the purchase and implementation of a new operating system for TeamStaff GS to fulfill Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) cost accounting system requirements for the award of certain larger value government contracts.
Cash from financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily the result of borrowing $1.8 million on the credit facility to fund operations during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and the receipt of $150,000 cash proceeds from the Commitments.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $98,000, used primarily to pay off, in full, capital lease obligations related to TeamStaff Rx as well as scheduled repayment of capital lease obligations for continuing operations.
Cash Flows
As of June 30, 2011, TeamStaff had cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million and net accounts receivable of $12.5 million. At June 30, 2011, the amount of the accounts receivable associated with the DVA retroactive billings approximates $9.3 million and was unbilled at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011 there was $2.2 million of debt outstanding under the Loan Agreement. As of September 30, 2010, there was $0.4 million of debt outstanding. Unused availability (as defined) totaled $0.2 million and $0.6 million, at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, net of required collateral reserves per the Loan Agreement for certain payroll and tax liabilities. The average daily outstanding balance on the facility for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.2 million. As of June 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $2.4 million. As discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on July 28, 2011, the Company received $350,000 in funding pursuant to sale of convertible debentures pursuant to the then-remaining Commitments.
Loan Facility
On July 29, 2010, TeamStaff GS entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Presidential Financial Corporation (the Lender). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide a two (2) year loan and security facility to TeamStaff GS in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. In November 2010, the Lender agreed, by means of an amendment to the Loan Agreement to increase the maximum amount available under the facility from $1.5 million to $2.5 million (See Note 6). In February 2011, the Company and Lender further increased the maximum
availability under the Loan Agreement by an additional $500,000 to $3.0 million and to provide an unbilled receivable facility within the limits of the Loan Agreement. An interest rate premium of 2% is payable in respect of any advances secured by unbilled accounts receivable, which are subject to a sub-facility limit of $500,000 and an advance rate of 75%. The loan is secured by a security interest and lien on all of TeamStaff GSs accounts, account deposits, letters of credit and investment property, chattel paper, furniture, fixtures and equipment, instruments, investment property, general intangibles, deposit accounts, inventory, other property, all proceeds and products of the foregoing (including proceeds of any insurance policies and claims against third parties for loss of any of the foregoing) and all books and records related thereto. TeamStaff GSs ability to request loan advances under the Loan Agreement is subject to: (i) computation of TeamStaff GSs advance availability limit based on eligible accounts receivables (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and subject to certain requirements discussed in Note 6 multiplied by the Accounts Advance Rate established by the Lender which initially shall be 85% and may be increased or decreased by the Lender in exercise of its discretion; and (ii) compliance with the covenants and conditions of the loan. The loan was initially for a term of 24 months and after giving effect to the February 2011 amendment, which also extended the term of the Loan Agreement by 12 months, will mature on July 29, 2013.
Interest on the loan accrues on the daily unpaid balance of the loan advances secured by billed receivables. Following the February 2011 amendment to the Loan Agreement, the interest rate under the Loan and Security Agreement is the greater of: (a) 3.25% or (b)(i) 1.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the accounts receivable portion of the credit line and (ii) 3.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the unbilled accounts portion. The interest rate at June 30, 2011 was 5.2%. In addition, TeamStaff GS will pay certain other related fees and expense reimbursements including a monthly service charge of 0.65% based on the average daily loan balance which shall accrue daily and be due and payable on the last day of each month so long as the Loan Agreement is outstanding. At June 30, 2011, the amount of the unused availability under the line was $188,000. The amount outstanding as of June 30, 2011 was $2,169,000. The Loan Agreement requires compliance with customary covenants and contains restrictions on the Companys ability to engage in certain transactions. Among other matters, under the Loan Agreement, we may not, without consent of the Lender, (i) merge or consolidate with another entity, form any new subsidiary or acquire any interest in a third party; (ii) acquire any assets except in the ordinary course of business; (iii) enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business; (iv) sell or transfer collateral; (v) make any loans to, or investments in, any affiliate or enter into any transaction with an affiliate other than on an arms-length basis; (vi) incur any debt outside the ordinary course of business; (vii) pay or declare any dividends or other distributions; or (viii) redeem, retire or purchase any of our equity interests exceeding $50,000. In addition, the Loan Agreement requires TeamStaff GS to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $1,000,000 on a trailing 12-month basis. Further, without the consent of the Lender, the Company is also restricted from making any payments in respect of other outstanding indebtedness. The Lender may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 60 days written notice after February 29, 2012 and the Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default following which the Lender may, at its option, terminate the loan agreement and accelerate the repayment of any amount outstanding. The defined events of default include, among other things, a material adverse change in the Companys circumstances, or if the Lender deems itself insecure in the ability of the Company to repay its obligations, or as to the sufficiency of the collateral.
TeamStaff has concurrently executed a Corporate Guaranty Agreement with Lender pursuant to which it has guaranteed all of the obligations of TeamStaff GS under the Loan Agreement.
Under the Loan Agreement our customers make payments directly to a bank account controlled by our Lender over which we have no control and which is used to pay down our loans. As a result, our access to cash resources is substantially at the discretion of the Lender and could cease in the event of a default on our Loan Agreement.
Payroll Taxes
As described in greater detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, TeamStaff had received notices from IRS claiming taxes, interest and penalties due related to payroll taxes predominantly from its former PEO operations which were sold in fiscal 2003. TeamStaff has also received notices from the IRS reporting overpayments of taxes. Management believes that these notices are predominantly the result of misapplication of payroll tax payments between its legal entities. To date, TeamStaff has been working with the IRS to resolve these discrepancies and has had certain interest and penalty claims abated. TeamStaff has also received notices from the Social Security Administration claiming variances in wage reporting compared to IRS transcripts. TeamStaff believes the notices from the Social Security Administration are directly related to the IRS notices received. TeamStaff believes that after the IRS applies all the funds correctly, any significant interest and penalties may be abated; however, there can be no assurance that each of these matters will be resolved favorably. In settling various years for specific subsidiaries with the IRS, the Company has received refunds for those specific periods; however, as the process of settling and concluding on other periods and subsidiaries is not yet completed and the potential exists for related penalties and interest, the remaining liability ($1.3 million at June 30, 2011) has been
recorded in accounts payable and includes estimated penalties and interest currently sought by the IRS totaling approximately $500,000.
The Company believes it has accrued for the entire estimated remaining liability, inclusive of interest and penalties through the date of the financial statements. The Company will incur additional interest and may incur possible additional penalties through the future date that this obligation is settled, however, it is not currently possible to estimate what, if any, additional amount(s) may be claimed in future, given the uncertain timing and nature of any future settlement negotiations. In fiscal 2009, the Company paid $1.1 million, related to this matter. No payments were made in fiscal 2010 and through the date of this report. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these remaining payroll tax matters will not have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or future results of operations. The Companys intention is that it will in due course seek to negotiate a mutually satisfactory payment plan with the IRS, but there is no assurance that it would be successful in doing so and the Companys future cash flows and liquidity could therefore be materially affected by this matter.

(1) Represents the maximum amount of notes payable related to the acquisition of TeamStaff GS (reflecting the RS Note agreement), the loan payable and capital lease obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources. We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations related to such matters as intellectual property rights. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of our most recent fiscal year end we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on TeamStaffs net revenues and results of operations, as TeamStaff has been able to modify its prices and cost structure to respond to inflation and changing prices.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
TeamStaff does not undertake trading practices in securities or other financial instruments and therefore does not have any material exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other similar risks, which might otherwise result from such practices. TeamStaff is not materially subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or other
market rates or prices from market sensitive instruments. TeamStaff has a material interest rate risk with respect to our prior workers compensation programs. In connection with TeamStaffs prior workers compensation programs, prepayments of future claims were deposited into trust funds for possible future payments of these claims in accordance with the policies. The interest income resulting from these prepayments is for the benefit of TeamStaff, and is used to offset workers compensation expense. If interest rates in these periods decrease, TeamStaffs workers compensation expense would increase because TeamStaff would be entitled to less interest income on the deposited funds. Further, and as discussed elsewhere in this filing, TeamStaff, Inc., effective in July 29, 2010, interest on our revolving credit facility accrues on the daily unpaid balance of the loan advances secured by billed receivables. Following the February 2011 amendment to this arrangement, the applicable interest rate is the greater of (a) 3.25% or (b)(i) 1.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the accounts receivable portion of the credit line and (ii) 3.95% above the Wall Street Journal Prime rate on the unbilled accounts portion. The interest rate at June 30, 2011 was 5.2%. An interest rate premium of 2% is payable in respect of any advances secured by unbilled accounts receivable, which are subject to a sub-facility limit of $500,000 and an advance rate of 75%. In addition, TeamStaff GS will pay certain other related fees and expense reimbursements including a monthly service charge of 0.65% based on the average daily loan balance which shall accrue daily and be due and payable on the last day of each month so long as the Loan Agreement is outstanding. Material increases in the Prime rate could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, the status of the revolving credit facility as well as interest costs.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our CEO and President and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, has concluded that, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our CEO and President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Our management, however, believes our disclosure controls and procedures are in fact effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Companys fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
RS Staffing Services, Inc. Note
The Company originally acquired RS Staffing Services in June 2005. As part of the purchase price of the acquisition, the Company issued to the former owners of RS Staffing Services: (i) $3.0 million of promissory notes (the Notes), of which $1.5 million in principal and interest of $150,000 was paid in June 2006; and (ii) certain stock in the Company. On May 31, 2007, the Company sent a notice of indemnification claim to the former owners for costs that have been incurred in connection with an investigation of the former owners for matters prior to the sale. The Company was not a target of the investigation. The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation and dispute in the amount of $19,000 and $35,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). The Company recognized expenses related to legal representation and costs incurred in connection with the investigation and dispute in the
amount of $78,000 and $92,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a component of other income (expense). Cumulative costs related to this matter, which have all been expensed, approximate $1.8 million. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement with RS Staffing Services, the Company notified the former owners of RS Staffing Services of the Companys intention to exercise its right to set off the payment of such expenses against the remaining principal and accrued interest due to the former owners of RS Staffing Services. The former owners of RS Staffing Services notified the Company of their disagreement with the Companys course of action and of the existence of partial counter-claims in regard to allegations that the Company without due cause failed to permit them to sell certain of their stock in the Company. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the parties have successfully negotiated a settlement following mediation, as provided for in the stock purchase agreement.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid $200,000 in cash to the former owners of RS Staffing Services (the Former Owners), issued them an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc., and agreed to permit the Former Owners to resell an aggregate of 201,724 other shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. presently held by them, against which the Company had previously placed a stop order prevent their resale. The Former Owners agreed to orderly sale limitations with respect to their ability to resell all their shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. In accordance with these limits, during the 90 day period commencing on the effective date of the Agreement, neither Former Owner will resell in excess of 33,000 shares of TeamStaff common stock previously held by them during any 30 day period without the consent of TeamStaff. With respect to the new shares of TeamStaff common stock to be issued pursuant to the Agreement, commencing on the six month anniversary of the effective date of the Agreement, neither will resell in excess of 25,000 shares during any 30 day period without the consent of TeamStaff. In addition, TeamStaff provided guarantees to the Former Owners that the net proceeds to be received by them from the resale of all of the shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. sold by them pursuant to the Agreement would not be less than certain minimum guarantees. With respect to the shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. owned by them prior to the effective date of the Agreement (the Old TeamStaff Shares), TeamStaff guaranteed to each Former Owner net proceeds of $100,000 and with respect to the shares of common stock of TeamStaff, Inc. to be issued under the Agreement (the New TeamStaff Shares), TeamStaff guaranteed net proceeds of $375,000 to each.
The payments of all amounts under the Agreement are secured by the Notes. Upon receipt by the Former Owners of (i) the payment of $200,000 to be made by TeamStaff following the execution of the Agreement and (ii) the proceeds realized from the sale of the Old TeamStaff Shares and New TeamStaff Shares, or the guarantees, the Notes shall be deemed satisfied in full. In addition, the parties agreed to release each other from any further claims that either may have against the other, except to enforce the Agreement.
Other Matters
As a commercial enterprise and employer, we are subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. These matters can include professional liability, employment-relations issues, workers compensation, tax, payroll and employee-related matters and inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding our employment practices. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that we believe is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In connection with its medical staffing business, TeamStaff is exposed to potential liability for the acts, errors or omissions of its temporary medical employees. The professional liability insurance policy provides up to $5.0 million aggregate coverage with a $2.0 million per occurrence limit. Although TeamStaff believes the liability insurance is reasonable under the circumstances to protect it from liability for such claims, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover all potential claims.
TeamStaff is engaged in no other litigation, which would be anticipated to have a material adverse impact on TeamStaffs results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Our operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the Risk Factors section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 for a discussion of the risks associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations. These factors, among others, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity and cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. The risks identified by TeamStaff in its reports are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or
liquidity. We believe there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On May 18, 2011, the Company issued 51,020 shares of common stock to its outside counsel in connection with an arrangement to cancel $25,000 of outstanding fees. The shares of Common Stock were offered and sold in a private transaction without registration under the Securities Act and the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as amended (the Securities Act) and similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
On June 1, 2011, the Company entered into a debenture purchase agreement (the Debenture Purchase Agreement) with entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. (the Debenture Purchasers), providing for a standby commitment pursuant to which the Debenture Purchasers agreed to purchase convertible debentures (the Convertible Debentures) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000 (the Total Commitment Amount). During the 24-month commitment term, upon at least five (5) days written notice by the Company, the Debenture Purchasers will purchase Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount specified in such notice up to the Total Commitment Amount. In addition, the Company issued the Debenture Purchasers warrants to purchase an aggregate of 53,846 shares of common stock (the Warrants) in consideration of their agreement to provide the Total Commitment Amount. As discussed in Note 7, subsequent to June 30, 2011, all of the Convertible Debentures have been sold by the Company. The Company intends to use the proceeds resulting from the sale of the Convertible Debentures for funding the RS Staffing Services, Inc. Note agreement and general corporate purposes. The Debenture Purchasers are entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc., the Companys largest shareholder. Mr. Peter Black, a member of the Companys Board of Directors, is an employee of Wynnefield Capital. The Convertible Debentures and Warrants are restricted securities issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

No. 2011-01 |

U.S.$210,000.00 |
1. Convertible Debenture.
This Convertible Debenture is one of a duly authorized series of Convertible Debentures (individually, the Convertible Debenture and collectively, the Convertible Debentures) of TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the Company). This Convertible Debenture is being issued in connection with a standby commitment given by certain purchasers to purchase from the Company up to $350,000 (Total Commitment Amount) in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Convertible Debentures are unsecured obligations of the Company and are (i) subordinated to (A) the Senior Credit Facility and (B) such other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as set forth on Schedule 2.2 to the Purchase Agreement (the Senior Indebtedness); and (ii) pari passu in right of payment to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries which is unsecured and does not otherwise have priority over general unsecured creditors of the Company.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings given to those terms in Section 9 hereof.
2. Principal and Interest.
(a) The Company for value received, hereby promises to pay to WYNNEFIELD PARTNERS SMALL CAP VALUE, LP I, or its registered assigns (the Holder), (i) the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S. $210,000.00) on October 28, 2013 (the Maturity Date), subject to early redemption (if any), as provided in Section 5 below, and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Interest is payable in cash on the Maturity Date and on the date of redemption (if any) at the then-current Conversion Rate.
or (ii) 10% per annum (the Interest Rate). Interest on this Convertible Debenture shall accrue quarterly and shall be computed for any full monthly period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months, and for any period for less than a full quarterly period for which a particular Interest Rate is applicable, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 90-day fiscal quarter. The Interest Rate for each quarterly period during the term of the Convertible Debentures shall be determined independently in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2(b). Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount of Convertible Debentures that are converted.
(c) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on), and Interest on this Convertible Debenture shall be made upon the surrender of this Convertible Debenture to the Company, at its chief executive office (or such other office within the United States as shall be designated by the Company to the Holder hereof) (the Designated Office), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Payment of principal (and premium, if any), Interest and all other amounts payable with respect to the Convertible Debentures shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Holder; provided that if the Holder entitled thereto shall not have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Company on or prior to the third Business Day immediately prior to the date on which the Company makes such payment, such payment may be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the signature page herewith.
3. Conversion.
(a) General. The full principal amount of this Convertible Debenture may be converted into shares of Common Stock (Conversion Shares) at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date and prior to the redemption (if any), upon no less than 15 days written notice by the Holder to the Company, all or a portion of the principal amount of outstanding Convertible Debentures at a conversion rate equal to $1.30 (the Conversion Rate). In calculating the number of Conversion Shares to be issued to the Holder, such number shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. The Company shall not issue any fractional Conversion Shares under any circumstances, but shall pay to the Holder any cash amounts in respect of the value of any fractional Conversion Shares that may have been issuable in the absence of the aforementioned prohibition.
(b) Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Convertible Debenture shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of this Convertible Debenture, or the part of the principal amount to be converted, plus the accrued but unpaid interest, by the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as defined in subparagraph (c)(2) below). To convert this Convertible Debenture, at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity date and prior to redemption (if any), upon no less than 15 days written notice by the Holder to the Company, the Holder shall send by facsimile (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed conversion notice in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the Conversion Notice) to the Company and shall contain a completed schedule in the form of Schedule 1 to the Conversion Notice (as amended on each Conversion Date, the Conversion Schedule) reflecting the remaining principal amount of this Convertible Debenture and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon subsequent to the conversion at issue. The Holder shall surrender or cause to be surrendered this Convertible Debenture, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, as soon as practicable thereafter to the Company, and pay any transfer taxes or other applicable taxes or duties, if required. The Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a conversion unless either this Convertible Debenture is delivered to the Company as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company or the transfer agent for the Common Stock that this Convertible Debenture has been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Company required by Section 11(c)(3) hereof.
(c) Issuance of Conversion Shares. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the portion of this Convertible Debenture being converted. If the Companys transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Companys (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates for the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture or Convertible Debentures are not required to bear a legend and the Holder is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon and the Holder has provided the Company with information required by DTC relating to the DTC account of the Holder or such Holders nominee, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (such transfer, a DTC Transfer). If the aforementioned conditions for a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Further, even if the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are satisfied, the Holder may instruct the Company in writing to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.
(1) The Holder is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until this Convertible Debenture has been converted into Common Stock.
(2) This Convertible Debenture shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day that the Holders delivers notice to the Company in accordance with the foregoing provisions (such day, the Conversion Date), and at such time the rights of the Holder of this Convertible Debenture as the Holder hereof shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of this Convertible Debenture on any date that is not a Business Day shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day.
(3) If the Holder converts more than one Convertible Debenture at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures converted.
(4) If the Holder elects to convert less than the entire aggregate principal amount outstanding of this Convertible Debenture, the Company shall issue to the Holder a new Convertible Debenture, duly executed by the Company, in form and substance identical to this Convertible Debenture surrendered by the Holder, for the balance of the aggregate principal amount of this Convertible Debenture that has not been so converted.
(d) Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Conversion Record Date fixed for the determination of the holders entitled to such dividend or distribution; and (B) the denominator of which
shall be the sum of such number of shares referred to in (A) above and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such reduction in the Conversion Rate shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 3(d)(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that otherwise would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(2) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as applicable, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(3) (A) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 3(d)(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding dividends or distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 3(e) applies (such Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, cash, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 3(d)(3) called the Distributed Assets), then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board resolution) on such date of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Conversion Record Date); and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company on such date.
(B) Such reduction in the Conversion Rate shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value on the Conversion Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Convertible Debenture shall have the right to receive upon conversion hereof (or any portion hereof) the amount of Distributed Assets the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Convertible Debenture (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Conversion Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that otherwise would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(4) Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Issuance of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, Etc.
(A) If prior to the Maturity Date (or any Conversion Date or Redemption Date, if applicable), the Company (i) issues or sells any Common Stock, Convertible
Securities, warrants, or Options or (ii) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the then-current Conversion Rate, then in each such case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Conversion Rate and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no adjustment hereunder shall be made with respect to an Exempt Issuance, as defined below.
(B) For the purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities or Options, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options shall be deemed to be outstanding at the initial conversion or exercise price applicable to such securities, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options, and provided further that to the extent such Convertible Securities or Options expire or terminate unconverted or unexercised, then at such time the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such portion of such Convertible Securities or Options had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(4), if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be used. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.
(C) As used herein, Exempt Issuance means the issuance of (i) shares of Common Stock or Options or Convertible Securities to employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (ii) Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants, or Options upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of the Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities; (iii) shares of Common Stock issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock; (iv) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options in connection with transactions with lenders or other commercial partners, the terms of which are approved by the Board of Directors, in each case, the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital; (v) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options issued pursuant to mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising equity capital; and (vi) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options issued
pursuant to the Agreement or upon the exercise of the Commitment Warrants issued pursuant to the Agreement or upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Agreement.
(D) For purposes hereof: (i) Convertible Securities means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; (ii) Options means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities; and (iii) Per Share Selling Price shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities or Options, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above).
(5) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3(d)(5) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made by the Company in good faith and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as applicable. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.
(6) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided in Section 3(d), the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 3(d) and shall prepare a certificate signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and shall promptly deliver such certificate to the Holder of this Convertible Debenture. For purposes of this Section 3(d), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(7) For purposes hereof:
(A) Conversion Record Date shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).
(B) Fair Market Value shall mean the average of the daily Trading Prices per share of Common Stock (or such other security as specified herein) for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 3(d), such adjustments shall be made to the Fair Market Value as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 3(d) and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Capital Stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock; (2) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the Company with another Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock; or (3) any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as applicable, shall provide that this Convertible Debenture shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) that such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had this Convertible Debenture been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance assuming the Holder, as a holder of Common Stock, did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance and that the rights of the Holder to convert this Convertible Debenture for adjustments thereafter shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. The above provisions of this Section shall apply to successive or series of related reclassifications, changes, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.
(f) Notices of Proposed Adjustments. In case at any time after the date hereof:
(1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 3;
(2) there shall occur any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, a change in par value, a change from par value to no par value or a change from no par value to par value), or any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(3) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
the Company shall cause to be provided to the Holder of this Convertible Debenture, at least 10 days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating: (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend or distribution are to be determined; or (B) the date on which such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, transfer, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings or actions described in Sections 3(f)(1) through 3(f)(3).
(g) Availability of Conversion Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Convertible Debenture, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of this Convertible Debenture. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of this Convertible Debenture will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable.
(h) Taxes. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of this Convertible Debenture. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of this Convertible Debenture, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.
(i) Registration Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all of the obligations regarding registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Convertible Debenture as described in the Purchase Agreement.
4. Conversion Limitation. Without the approval of the Companys stockholders, the Holder (together with such Holders Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holders Affiliates) shall not have the right to convert this Convertible Debenture to the extent that such conversion would cause the Company to exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue or be deemed to have issued without breaching the Companys obligations under the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including, without limitation, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) and such other Trading Market on which the Companys shares of Common Stock are then quoted or listed for trading.
5. Redemption. At any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, upon no less than 30 days written notice by the Company to the Holder (the Redemption Notice), all or a portion of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures may be redeemed by payment of 120% of the principal amount thereof, plus the unpaid interest which has accrued on the principal of the outstanding Convertible Debentures at the end of such 30-day notice period (the Redemption Amount). The last day of such 30 day notice period shall be the Redemption Date. Within 15 days from the date of the Redemption Notice, the Holder may exercise the conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures that are the subject of the Redemption Notice, by providing written notice to the Company of such Holders intention to exercise such conversion feature. The Conversion Shares underlying such Convertible Debentures shall be issued by the Company on or prior to the 15th day following the date of the Holders notice of intention to exercise such conversion feature. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.
(b) Preservation of Business. Unless otherwise permitted herein, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the rights (charter and statutory) of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if (a) the Company shall determine in good faith that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holder or (b) the Company shall no longer continue to have such right as a result of a good faith, arms-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company.
(c) Financial Information. From time to time while this Convertible Debenture remains outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Holder, pursuant to the confidentiality provisions of the Purchase Agreement, twelve-month cash flow projections as and at the same time that such information is furnished to the Companys Board of Directors or audit committee of the Board of Directors.
7. Events of Default.
(a) Event of Default, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(exclusive of judgment amounts fully covered by insurance where the insurer has admitted liability in respect of such judgment), shall be rendered by one or more courts, administrative tribunals or other bodies having jurisdiction against the Company and the same shall not be discharged (or provision shall not be made for such discharge), bonded, or a stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, within 60 days from the date of entry thereof and the Company shall not, within said period of 60 days, or such longer period during which execution of the same shall have been stayed, appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be stayed during such appeal;
(7) there shall occur, without the consent of the Majority-in-Interest, any Change of Control;

(b) Acceleration of Payment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7(a)(9) or 7(a)(10) hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the holders of at least a Majority in Interest of the Convertible Debentures, by written notice to the Company, may declare due and payable the principal and premium, if any, of this Convertible Debenture and all other outstanding Convertible Debentures, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of payment shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7(a)(9) or 7(a)(10) occurs with respect to the Company, the principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, on this Convertible Debenture shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder. The exercise of the rights of the Holders set forth in Sections 7(b) (d), however, is subject to the Companys obligations with respect to the Senior Indebtedness.
The holders of not less than a Majority in Interest of the principal of the outstanding Convertible Debentures may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Convertible Debentures, rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences (including waiver of any defaults) if: (1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of a Defaulted Payment on this Convertible Debenture and any of the other Convertible Debentures that have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived, and (2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Collections. If an Event of Default with respect to this Convertible Debenture occurs and is continuing, the Holder may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the Defaulted Payment or interest due and payable on this Convertible Debenture or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Convertible Debenture.
(d) Right to Receive Payment Upon Default. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Convertible Debenture, unless the Holder elects to convert this Convertible Debenture following any Event of Default, the Holder of this Convertible Debenture shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal and interest in respect of the Convertible Debentures held by the Holder, on or after the final Maturity Date, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date or the right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of the Holder.
(e) No Exclusive Right or Remedy. Except as otherwise provided herein, no right or remedy conferred in this Convertible Debenture upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
(f) No Waiver of Right or Remedy. No delay or omission of the Holder of this Convertible Debenture to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Section 7 or by law to the Holder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Holder.
8. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) This Convertible Debenture and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Convertible Debenture have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. Neither this Convertible Debenture nor the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Convertible Debenture nor any interest or participation herein may be reoffered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (a Transfer) in the absence of such registration or unless (i) such transaction is exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and (ii) is made in compliance with applicable federal and state statutory resale restrictions, if any. The Holder by its acceptance of this Convertible Debenture or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Convertible Debenture agrees that it shall not offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of this Convertible Debenture or any portion thereof or interest therein other than in a minimum denomination of $10,000 principal amount (or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) and then (other than with respect to a Transfer pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such Transfer) only (a) to the Company, (b) to an Affiliate of the Holder, (c) to a person it reasonably believes to be an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, or (d) pursuant to a

(c) The Holder represents that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The Holder has been advised that this Convertible Debenture has not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless it is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. The Holder is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. The Holder has not been formed solely for the purpose of making this investment and is acquiring the Convertible Debenture for its own account for investment, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof.
(d) The Company shall cooperate with the Holder and take all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate any Transfer of this Convertible Debenture by the Holder that is permitted under Section 8(a) above.

If by the terms of this Convertible Debenture, the Company is at any time required or obligated to pay interest hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Convertible Debenture shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of this Convertible Debenture.

1. Convertible Debenture.
This Convertible Debenture is one of a duly authorized series of Convertible Debentures (individually, the Convertible Debenture and collectively, the Convertible Debentures) of TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the Company). This Convertible Debenture is being issued in connection with a standby commitment given by certain purchasers to purchase from the Company up to $350,000 (Total Commitment Amount) in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Convertible Debentures are unsecured obligations of the Company and are (i) subordinated to (A) the Senior Credit Facility and (B) such other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as set forth on Schedule 2.2 to the Purchase Agreement (the Senior Indebtedness); and (ii) pari passu in right of payment to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries which is unsecured and does not otherwise have priority over general unsecured creditors of the Company.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings given to those terms in Section 9 hereof.
2. Principal and Interest.
(a) The Company for value received, hereby promises to pay to WYNNEFIELD PARTNERS SMALL CAP VALUE, LP, or its registered assigns (the Holder), (i) the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND (U.S $140,000.00) on October 28, 2013 (the Maturity Date), subject to early redemption (if any), as provided in Section 5 below, and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Interest is payable in cash on the Maturity Date and on the date of redemption (if any) at the then-current Conversion Rate.
or (ii) 10% per annum (the Interest Rate). Interest on this Convertible Debenture shall accrue quarterly and shall be computed for any full monthly period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months, and for any period for less than a full quarterly period for which a particular Interest Rate is applicable, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 90-day fiscal quarter. The Interest Rate for each quarterly period during the term of the Convertible Debentures shall be determined independently in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2(b). Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount of Convertible Debentures that are converted.
(c) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on), and Interest on this Convertible Debenture shall be made upon the surrender of this Convertible Debenture to the Company, at its chief executive office (or such other office within the United States as shall be designated by the Company to the Holder hereof) (the Designated Office), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Payment of principal (and premium, if any), Interest and all other amounts payable with respect to the Convertible Debentures shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Holder; provided that if the Holder entitled thereto shall not have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Company on or prior to the third Business Day immediately prior to the date on which the Company makes such payment, such payment may be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the signature page herewith.
3. Conversion.
(a) General. The full principal amount of this Convertible Debenture may be converted into shares of Common Stock (Conversion Shares) at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date and prior to the redemption (if any), upon no less than 15 days written notice by the Holder to the Company, all or a portion of the principal amount of outstanding Convertible Debentures at a conversion rate equal to $1.30 (the Conversion Rate). In calculating the number of Conversion Shares to be issued to the Holder, such number shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. The Company shall not issue any fractional Conversion Shares under any circumstances, but shall pay to the Holder any cash amounts in respect of the value of any fractional Conversion Shares that may have been issuable in the absence of the aforementioned prohibition.
(b) Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Convertible Debenture shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of this Convertible Debenture, or the part of the principal amount to be converted, plus the accrued but unpaid interest, by the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as defined in subparagraph (c)(2) below). To convert this Convertible Debenture, at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity date and prior to redemption (if any), upon no less than 15 days written notice by the Holder to the Company, the Holder shall send by facsimile (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed conversion notice in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the Conversion Notice) to the Company and shall contain a completed schedule in the form of Schedule 1 to the Conversion Notice (as amended on each Conversion Date, the Conversion Schedule) reflecting the remaining principal amount of this Convertible Debenture and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon subsequent to the conversion at issue. The Holder shall surrender or cause to be surrendered this Convertible Debenture, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, as soon as practicable thereafter to the Company, and pay any transfer taxes or other applicable taxes or duties, if required. The Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a conversion unless either this Convertible Debenture is delivered to the Company as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company or the transfer agent for the Common Stock that this Convertible Debenture has been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Company required by Section 11(c)(3) hereof.
(c) Issuance of Conversion Shares. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder or its nominee that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the portion of this Convertible Debenture being converted. If the Companys transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Companys (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates for the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture or Convertible Debentures are not required to bear a legend and the Holder is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon and the Holder has provided the Company with information required by DTC relating to the DTC account of the Holder or such Holders nominee, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (such transfer, a DTC Transfer). If the aforementioned conditions for a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Further, even if the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are satisfied, the Holder may instruct the Company in writing to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.
(1) The Holder is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until this Convertible Debenture has been converted into Common Stock.
(2) This Convertible Debenture shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day that the Holders delivers notice to the Company in accordance with the foregoing provisions (such day, the Conversion Date), and at such time the rights of the Holder of this Convertible Debenture as the Holder hereof shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of this Convertible Debenture on any date that is not a Business Day shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day.
(3) If the Holder converts more than one Convertible Debenture at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures converted.
(4) If the Holder elects to convert less than the entire aggregate principal amount outstanding of this Convertible Debenture, the Company shall issue to the Holder a new Convertible Debenture, duly executed by the Company, in form and substance identical to this Convertible Debenture surrendered by the Holder, for the balance of the aggregate principal amount of this Convertible Debenture that has not been so converted.
(d) Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Conversion Record Date fixed for the determination of the holders entitled to such dividend or distribution; and (B) the denominator of which
shall be the sum of such number of shares referred to in (A) above and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such reduction in the Conversion Rate shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 3(d)(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that otherwise would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(2) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as applicable, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(3) (A) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 3(d)(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding dividends or distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 3(e) applies (such Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, cash, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 3(d)(3) called the Distributed Assets), then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board resolution) on such date of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Conversion Record Date); and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company on such date.
(B) Such reduction in the Conversion Rate shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Conversion Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value on the Conversion Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Convertible Debenture shall have the right to receive upon conversion hereof (or any portion hereof) the amount of Distributed Assets the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Convertible Debenture (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Conversion Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that otherwise would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(4) Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Issuance of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, Etc.
(A) If prior to the Maturity Date (or any Conversion Date or Redemption Date, if applicable), the Company (i) issues or sells any Common Stock, Convertible
Securities, warrants, or Options or (ii) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the then-current Conversion Rate, then in each such case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Conversion Rate and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no adjustment hereunder shall be made with respect to an Exempt Issuance, as defined below.
(B) For the purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities or Options, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options shall be deemed to be outstanding at the initial conversion or exercise price applicable to such securities, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options, and provided further that to the extent such Convertible Securities or Options expire or terminate unconverted or unexercised, then at such time the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such portion of such Convertible Securities or Options had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(4), if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be used. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Convertible Debenture, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of this Convertible Debenture.

At any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, upon no less than 30 days written notice by the Company to the Holder (the Redemption Notice), all or a portion of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures may be redeemed by payment of 120% of the principal amount thereof, plus the unpaid interest which has accrued on the principal of the outstanding Convertible Debentures at the end of such 30-day notice period (the Redemption Amount). The last day of such 30 day notice period shall be the Redemption Date. Within 15 days from the date of the Redemption Notice, the Holder may exercise the conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures that are the subject of the Redemption Notice, by providing written notice to the Company of such Holders intention to exercise such conversion feature.

This Convertible Debenture is subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Company be obligated or required to pay interest hereunder at a rate which could subject the Holder or any other Person to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Company is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Convertible Debenture, the Company is at any time required or obligated to pay interest hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Convertible Debenture shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of this Convertible Debenture.

This Convertible Debenture may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Dated as of: June 1, 2011 |
|
No. of Warrant Shares: 32,308 |
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by TEAMSTAFF, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the Company), Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, LP I (the Holder), is hereby granted the right to purchase, at any time from and after the 1st day of June, 2011 until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 1, 2016 (the Warrant Exercise Term), up to Thirty Two Thousand, Three Hundred and Eight (32,308) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (Common Stock). This warrant (the Warrant) is issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Debenture Purchase Agreement between the Company and the original Holder of this Warrant dated June 1, 2011(the Agreement) pursuant to which the Company may sell to the purchasers named therein up to an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 of convertible debentures (the Convertible Debentures) from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Agreement.
l. Exercise of Warrant
1.1 Exercise Price and Mechanics of Exercise.
(a) During the Warrant Exercise Term, this Warrant shall be exercisable at a per share price of $1.00 (the Exercise Price), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2 hereof, payable in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Warrant Exercise Term, upon surrender of the original of this warrant certificate with the annexed Notice of Exercise duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, at the Companys principal executive offices. Upon the occurrence of
all of such events, the registered Holder of the Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the Warrant Shares).
(b) The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of the Common Stock) during any period in which this Warrant may be exercised as set forth above. In the case of the purchase of less than all the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender thereof and, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
(c) Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holders prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is a participant in such system and such Warrant Shares are eligible for delivery in such a manner, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three business days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date on which this Warrant is surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date on which all of the criteria described in the immediately preceding sentence have occurred, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
1.2 Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
1.3 Covenants by Company. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued and fully-paid and non-assessable.
2. Adjustments and Extraordinary Events
2.1 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations.
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or
otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
2.2 Other Distributions.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders), shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 2.1 applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding dividends or distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 2.3 applies (such Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, cash, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 2.2 called the Distributed Assets), then, in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board resolution) on such date of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date); and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company on such date. Such reduction in the Exercise Price shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the fair market value on the record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive upon conversion hereof (or any portion hereof) the amount of Distributed Assets the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Warrant (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Exercise Price. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price that otherwise would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) The following terms used in this Section 2.2 shall have meanings ascribed to them as set forth below:
(i) The phrase Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall mean the average of the daily Trading Prices per share of Common Stock (or such other security as specified herein) for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question .
(ii) Trading Day means: (1) if the applicable security is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a day on which the Nasdaq Stock Market is open for business; (2) if that security is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, a day on which trades may be made on the New York State Exchange; (3) if that security is not so listed on the New York Stock Exchange and not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a day on which the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the securities are listed or the OTC Bulletin Board is open for business; or (4) if the applicable security is not so listed, admitted for trading or quoted, any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
(iii) Trading Price of a security on any date of determination means: (1) the closing sales price as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on such date; (2) if such security is not so reported, the closing sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price) of such security (regular way) on the New York Stock Exchange on such date; (3) if such security is not listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange on any such date, the closing sale price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the composite transactions for the principal U.S. securities exchange on which such security is so listed; or (4) if such security is not so quoted, the average of that last bid and ask prices for such security on such date from a dealer engaged in the trading of convertible securities selected by the Company for this purpose, or (5) as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.
2.3 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. If during the Warrant Exercise Term (i) the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company); (ii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another individual or entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property; (iii) the Company shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer, or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (Other Property), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer, or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, tender or exchange offer, consolidation or disposition of assets (Extraordinary Transaction), the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed
appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2.3. As soon as commercially practicable following the Extraordinary Transaction, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company), shall deliver to Holder a new warrant in repacement of this Warrant consistent with the provisions referenced in the immediately preceding sentence against receipt by such successor or acquiring corporation of the original of this Warrant. For purposes of this Section 2.3, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, tender or exchange offers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
2.4 Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Issuance of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, Etc.
(a) If during any period while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (A) issues or sells any Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants, or Options or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the then-current Exercise Price, then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Exercise Price, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no adjustment hereunder shall be made with respect to an Exempt Issuance, as defined below.
(b) For the purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities or Options, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options shall be deemed to be outstanding at the initial conversion or exercise price applicable to such securities, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options, and provided further that to the extent such Convertible Securities or Options expire or terminate unconverted or unexercised, then at such time the Exercise Price shall be readjusted as if such portion of such Convertible Securities or Options had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 2.4, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be used. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are
currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.
(c) As used herein, Exempt Issuance means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or Options or Convertible Securities to employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants, or Options upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of the Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities; (c) shares of Common Stock issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock; (d) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options in connection with transactions with lenders or other commercial partners, the terms of which are approved by the Board of Directors, in each case, the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital; (e) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options issued pursuant to mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising equity capital; and (f) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options issued pursuant to the Agreement or upon the exercise of the Commitment Warrants issued pursuant to the Agreement or upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Agreement.
(d) For purposes hereof: (i) Convertible Securities means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; (ii) Options means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities; and (iii) Per Share Selling Price shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities or Options, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above).
2.5 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted in accordance with this Section 2, as herein provided, the Company shall give prior written notice thereof to the Holder of at least 15 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record for determining the particular event, which notice shall state the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.
3. Restrictions on Transfer
(a) The Holder acknowledges that he has been advised by the Company that
this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof (collectively the Securities) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), that the Warrant is being issued, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will be issued, on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and that the Companys reliance upon this statutory exemption is based in part upon the representations made by the Holder contained herein. The Holder acknowledges that he has been informed by the Company of, or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of securities. In particular, the Holder agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not be required to give any effect to any such sale, assignment or transfer, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities is registered under the Securities Act, and the Company has no obligations or intention to so register the Securities except as may otherwise be provided herein, or (ii) the Securities are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or such sale, assignment, or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Holder represents and warrants that he has acquired this Warrant and will acquire the Securities for his own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof or the granting of any participation therein, and that he has no present intention of distributing or selling to others any of such interest or granting any participation therein. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant and Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities or blue-sky laws or is exempt from registration and/or qualification. The Holder has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Company, and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The Holder is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 (the provisions of which are known to the Holder) promulgated under the Act.
The Holder acknowledges that the securities shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT (II) UNLESS SOLD OR TRANSFERRED TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (III) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.
(b) Registration Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all of the obligations regarding registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant as described in the Agreement.
(c) Disposition of Warrant or shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrant. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or shares of Common Stock, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which shall include such representation of the transferee regarding investment intent as the Company may request, to the effect that such offer, sale or
other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or such shares of Common Stock and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or such shares of Common Stock to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable but no later than seven (7) days after receipt of the written notice, shall notify the Holder that the Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such shares of Common Stock, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If the Company determines that the evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act and in compliance with the applicable statutory resale restrictions imposed by state securities laws, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 and the applicable resale restrictions imposed by state securities laws have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the shares of Common Stock thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless pursuant to an opinion of counsel for the Holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
4. Exercise Limitation. Without the approval of the Companys stockholders, the Holder (together with such Holders Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holders Affiliates) shall not have the right to exercise the Warrants to the extent that such exercise would cause the Company to exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue or be deemed to have issued without breaching the Companys obligations under the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including, without limitation, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) and such other Trading Market on which the Companys shares of Common Stock are then quoted or listed for trading.

5.2 Loss, Destruction, Etc. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu thereof and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated warrant shall thereupon become void.
6. Elimination of Fractional Interests.
The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of the shares of Common Stock and shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Dated as of: June 1, 2011 |
|
No. of Warrant Shares: 21,538 |
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by TEAMSTAFF, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the Company), Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, LP (the Holder), is hereby granted the right to purchase, at any time from and after the 1st day of June, 2011 until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 1, 2016 (the Warrant Exercise Term), up to Twenty One Thousand, Five Hundred and Thirty Eight (21,538) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (Common Stock). This warrant (the Warrant) is issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Debenture Purchase Agreement between the Company and the original Holder of this Warrant dated June 1, 2011(the Agreement) pursuant to which the Company may sell to the purchasers named therein up to an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 of convertible debentures (the Convertible Debentures) from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Agreement.
l. Exercise of Warrant
1.1 Exercise Price and Mechanics of Exercise.
(a) During the Warrant Exercise Term, this Warrant shall be exercisable at a per share price of $1.00 (the Exercise Price), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2 hereof, payable in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Warrant Exercise Term, upon surrender of the original of this warrant certificate with the annexed Notice of Exercise duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, at the Companys principal executive offices. Upon the occurrence of
all of such events, the registered Holder of the Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the Warrant Shares).
(b) The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of the Common Stock) during any period in which this Warrant may be exercised as set forth above. In the case of the purchase of less than all the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender thereof and, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
(c) Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holders prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is a participant in such system and such Warrant Shares are eligible for delivery in such a manner, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three business days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date on which this Warrant is surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date on which all of the criteria described in the immediately preceding sentence have occurred, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
1.2 Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
1.3 Covenants by Company. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued and fully-paid and non-assessable.
2. Adjustments and Extraordinary Events
2.1 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations.
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or
otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
2.2 Other Distributions.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders), shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 2.1 applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding dividends or distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 2.3 applies (such Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, cash, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 2.2 called the Distributed Assets), then, in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board resolution) on such date of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date); and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company on such date. Such reduction in the Exercise Price shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the fair market value on the record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive upon conversion hereof (or any portion hereof) the amount of Distributed Assets the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Warrant (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Exercise Price. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price that otherwise would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) The following terms used in this Section 2.2 shall have meanings ascribed to them as set forth below:
(i) The phrase Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall mean the average of the daily Trading Prices per share of Common Stock (or such other security as specified herein) for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question .
(ii) Trading Day means: (1) if the applicable security is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a day on which the Nasdaq Stock Market is open for business; (2) if that security is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, a day on which trades may be made on the New York State Exchange; (3) if that security is not so listed on the New York Stock Exchange and not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a day on which the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the securities are listed or the OTC Bulletin Board is open for business; or (4) if the applicable security is not so listed, admitted for trading or quoted, any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
(iii) Trading Price of a security on any date of determination means: (1) the closing sales price as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on such date; (2) if such security is not so reported, the closing sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price) of such security (regular way) on the New York Stock Exchange on such date; (3) if such security is not listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange on any such date, the closing sale price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the composite transactions for the principal U.S. securities exchange on which such security is so listed; or (4) if such security is not so quoted, the average of that last bid and ask prices for such security on such date from a dealer engaged in the trading of convertible securities selected by the Company for this purpose, or (5) as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.
2.3 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. If during the Warrant Exercise Term (i) the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company); (ii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another individual or entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property; (iii) the Company shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer, or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (Other Property), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer, or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, tender or exchange offer, consolidation or disposition of assets (Extraordinary Transaction), the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed
appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2.3. As soon as commercially practicable following the Extraordinary Transaction, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company), shall deliver to Holder a new warrant in repacement of this Warrant consistent with the provisions referenced in the immediately preceding sentence against receipt by such successor or acquiring corporation of the original of this Warrant. For purposes of this Section 2.3, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, tender or exchange offers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
2.4 Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Issuance of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, Etc.
(a) If during any period while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (A) issues or sells any Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants, or Options or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the then-current Exercise Price, then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Exercise Price, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no adjustment hereunder shall be made with respect to an Exempt Issuance, as defined below.
(b) For the purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities or Options, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options shall be deemed to be outstanding at the initial conversion or exercise price applicable to such securities, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options, and provided further that to the extent such Convertible Securities or Options expire or terminate unconverted or unexercised, then at such time the Exercise Price shall be readjusted as if such portion of such Convertible Securities or Options had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 2.4, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be used. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are
currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.
(c) As used herein, Exempt Issuance means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or Options or Convertible Securities to employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants, or Options upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of the Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities; (c) shares of Common Stock issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock; (d) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options in connection with transactions with lenders or other commercial partners, the terms of which are approved by the Board of Directors, in each case, the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital; (e) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options issued pursuant to mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising equity capital; and (f) shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or Options issued pursuant to the Agreement or upon the exercise of the Commitment Warrants issued pursuant to the Agreement or upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Agreement.
(d) For purposes hereof: (i) Convertible Securities means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; (ii) Options means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities; and (iii) Per Share Selling Price shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities or Options, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above).
2.5 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted in accordance with this Section 2, as herein provided, the Company shall give prior written notice thereof to the Holder of at least 15 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record for determining the particular event, which notice shall state the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.
3. Restrictions on Transfer
(a) The Holder acknowledges that he has been advised by the Company that
this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof (collectively the Securities) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), that the Warrant is being issued, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will be issued, on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and that the Companys reliance upon this statutory exemption is based in part upon the representations made by the Holder contained herein. The Holder acknowledges that he has been informed by the Company of, or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of securities. In particular, the Holder agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not be required to give any effect to any such sale, assignment or transfer, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities is registered under the Securities Act, and the Company has no obligations or intention to so register the Securities except as may otherwise be provided herein, or (ii) the Securities are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or such sale, assignment, or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Holder represents and warrants that he has acquired this Warrant and will acquire the Securities for his own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof or the granting of any participation therein, and that he has no present intention of distributing or selling to others any of such interest or granting any participation therein. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant and Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities or blue-sky laws or is exempt from registration and/or qualification. The Holder has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Company, and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The Holder is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 (the provisions of which are known to the Holder) promulgated under the Act.
The Holder acknowledges that the securities shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT (II) UNLESS SOLD OR TRANSFERRED TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (III) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.
(b) Registration Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all of the obligations regarding registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant as described in the Agreement.

Interest shall accrue quarterly on a 360-day year basis and the Interest Rate for each quarterly period during the term of the Convertible Debentures shall be determined independently for each quarterly interest period in accordance with the preceding sentence. Interest shall be payable in cash to the account of the Purchasers on the Maturity Date (as defined below), and on the date of redemption (if any). Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount of Convertible Debentures that are converted.
(b) Maturity Date. The Convertible Debentures shall mature and the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the date that is 27 months after the date of issuance of each Convertible Debenture (the Maturity Date), subject to early redemption, as provided below.
(c) Conversion of Convertible Debentures. At any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date and prior to redemption (if any), upon no less than 15 days written notice by a Purchaser to the Company, all or a portion of the principal amount of outstanding Convertible Debentures may be converted into shares of the Companys Common Stock (Conversion Shares) at a conversion rate equal to $1.30 (the Conversion Rate). In calculating the number of Conversion Shares to be issued to the Purchasers, such number shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. The Company shall not issue any fractional Conversion Shares under any circumstances, but shall pay to the Purchasers any cash amounts in respect of the value of any fractional Conversion Shares that may have been issuable in the absence of the aforementioned prohibition. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Convertible Debentures in the form annexed to this Purchase Agreement as Exhibit A.
(d) Redemption of Convertible Debentures. At any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, upon no less than 30 days written notice by the Company to the Purchaser (the Redemption Notice), all or a portion of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures may be redeemed by payment of 120% of the principal amount thereof, plus the unpaid interest which has accrued on the principal of the outstanding Convertible Debentures at the end of such 30-day notice period. Within 15 days from the date of the Redemption Notice, a Purchaser may exercise the conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures that are the subject of the Redemption Notice, by providing written notice to the Company of such Purchasers intention to exercise such conversion feature in accordance with the applicable terms of the Convertible Debentures. The shares of Common Stock underlying such Convertible Debentures shall be issued by the Company on or prior to the 15th day following the date of the Purchasers notice of intention to exercise such conversion feature.
(e) Priority. The Convertible Debentures will be unsecured obligations of the Company and (i) subordinated to (A) the Senior Credit Facility and (B) such other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as set forth on Schedule 2.2 and (ii) pari passu in right of payment to all other Indebtedness of the Company which is unsecured and does not otherwise have priority over general unsecured creditors of the Company.
2.3 Limitations on Conversion of Convertible Debentures and Exercise of Warrants. Notwithstanding anything in this Purchase Agreement or any of the other agreements and instruments executed in accordance with this Purchase Agreement to the contrary, subject to receipt of the approval of the Companys stockholder, the Company shall not issue, and no Purchaser shall be permitted to purchase (whether hereunder, upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures or upon exercise of the Commitment Warrants) any shares of Common Stock if and to the extent that the purchase and issuance of such shares of Common Stock would cause the Company to exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue or be deemed to have issued without breaching the Companys obligations under the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including, without limitation, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) and such other Trading Market on which the Companys shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted for trading (the Exchange Cap). In the absence of such stockholder approval, in no event shall a Purchaser be permitted to acquire shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate of the total amount of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Purchaser pursuant to terms of the Convertible Debentures and Commitment Warrants issued or to be issued to the Purchaser hereunder and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to all the Purchasers pursuant to terms of the Convertible Debentures and Commitment Warrants issued or to be issued to the Purchasers hereunder (with respect to each Purchaser, the Exchange Cap Allocation). In the event that Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of the securities issued hereunder, the transferee thereof shall be allocated a pro rata portion of Purchasers Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee.
2.4 Stockholder Approval. Solely in the event that it is required in order to permit the full conversion of the Convertible Debentures or full exercise of the Commitment Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement into shares of Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the Companys issued and outstanding Common Stock (the Stockholder Approval), the Company shall, following its determination that such Stockholder Approval is required pursuant to the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, at its next regularly scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders, hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting no less frequently than every 180 days thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date that Stockholder Approval is obtained or the Convertible Debentures are no longer outstanding. Each Purchaser further agrees that it shall not be entitled to vote the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable to it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at any meeting of the Companys stockholders convened to vote on a proposal to enable the Company to issue the shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Debentures and Warrants in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

COVENANTS
6.1 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the conversion of Convertible Debentures and exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time equal the number of shares sufficient to permit the exercise of the Convertible Debentures and the Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.
6.2 Piggyback Registration Rights. Each Purchaser and the Company agree that the Purchasers shall be entitled to the registration rights with respect to the Securities as set forth in this Section 6.2
(a) Definition of Registrable Securities. As used in this Section 6.2, the term Registrable Security means (i) each of the shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures and (ii) each of the shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the Commitment Warrants; provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination; (A) it has been and remains effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto; (B) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, registration under the Securities Act is no longer required for subsequent public distribution of such security pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or otherwise; or (C) it has ceased to be outstanding. The term Registrable Securities means any and all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of Registrable Security. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of Registrable Security as is appropriate to prevent any dilution or increase of the rights granted pursuant to this clause (a) as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(b) Piggyback Registration Rights. If at any time or from time to time while any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall determine to register or shall be required to register any of its Common Stock, whether or not for its own account, other than a registration relating to employee benefit plans (whether effected on Form S-8 or its successor) or a registration effected on Form S-4 (or its successor) (a Registration Statement), the Company shall:
(i) provide to each Purchaser written notice thereof at least ten days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement by the Company in connection with such registration;
(ii) include in such registration, and in any underwriting involved therein, all those Registrable Securities specified in a written request by each Purchaser received by the Company within five days after the Company mails the written notice referred to above. The Company may withdraw the registration at any time. If a registration covered by this Section 6.2 is an underwritten registration on behalf of the Company, and the underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration: (1) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (2) second, the Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the selling Purchasers and any other selling security holders on the basis of the number of shares owned
by each such Purchaser and other selling security holder. The Purchasers right to have Registrable Securities included in the first registration statement filed by the Company may be deferred to the second registration statement filed by the Company, which deferral may be continued to the third or subsequent registration statement so long as the registration statements are pursuant to underwritten offerings and the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require exclusion of some or all of the Registrable Securities held by the Purchasers, but such deferral shall be only to the extent of such required exclusion as determined by the underwriter; and
(iii) if the registration is an underwritten registration, each Purchaser of Registrable Securities shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter and provide such information regarding Purchaser that the underwriter shall reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the prospectus describing such offering, including completion of FINRA Questionnaires.
(c) Covenants with Respect to Registration. In connection with the registration in which the Registrable Securities are included, the Company and Purchaser covenant and agree as follows:
(i) The foregoing registration rights shall be contingent on the Purchasers furnishing the Company with such appropriate information (relating to the intended means of distribution of the Registrable Securities of such Purchasers) as the Company shall reasonably request.
(ii) The Company shall indemnify each Purchaser of Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the registration statement and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including reasonable expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement, except to the extent arising under paragraph (iii) below.
(iii) Each Purchaser to be sold pursuant to a registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and any underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or reasonable expense or liability (including expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising (A) from information furnished by or on behalf of such Purchaser, or their successors or assigns, for inclusion in such registration statement, or (B) as a result of use by the Purchaser of a registration statement that the Purchaser was advised to discontinue.

CREDITOR SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This Creditor Subordination Agreement (the Agreement) is made and entered into by Wynnefield Partners SmallCap Value, LP (the Creditor), TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the Borrower), and TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the Guarantor), for the benefit of Presidential Financial Corporation, a Georgia corporation, and its successors and assigns (Lender).
WHEREAS, Borrower has obtained from Lender a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit (the Loan); and
WHEREAS, Creditor has heretofore loaned Guarantor sums of money; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to continuing to make the Loan available to Borrower, Lender has required that Creditor subordinate any and all loans and indebtedness outstanding under any Convertible Debentures, now or hereafter owed or owing by Guarantor to Creditor to any loan or indebtedness heretofore, now or hereafter owed or owing from Guarantor or Borrower to Lender, including, without limitation, any amounts now or hereafter owed or owing under or in connection with the Loan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, ten dollars, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned Guarantor and Creditor do hereby covenant and agree with Lender as follows:
1. Certain Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
Convertible Debentures shall mean any and all Convertible Debentures issued by the Guarantor pursuant to that certain Debenture Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2011, between the Guarantor, the Creditor and the other purchaser party thereto, up to a maximum principal amount of $350,000.
Event of Default shall mean an Event of Default under the Loan and Security Agreement.
Lender Indebtedness means the principal of all loans, all interest (including interest accrued subsequent to the filing of any petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law) on such principal amounts of such loans and all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities (including without limitation principal, interest and fees, and obligations under guaranties), whether now existing or hereafter incurred, of Borrower and/or Guarantor to Lender, under the Loan and Security Agreement, including without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, under or with respect to the Loan or any documents or instruments executed or delivered in connection therewith.
Lender Security Documents means each and all of the mortgages, revolving credit and security agreements, pledges, assignments, security agreements and other documents and instruments at any time securing any of the Lender Indebtedness.
Loan and Security Agreement means that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2010, as amended through the date hereof, and as may be subsequently amended, modified, restated, extended or renewed from time to time (but not to exceed at any one time $4,000,000 in maximum principal amount), by and among the Lender, the Borrower and the Guarantor.
Subordinated Obligations means all indebtedness (plus any interest heretofore, now or hereafter accrued thereon, including any interest accrued subsequent to the filing of any petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law), whether now existing or hereafter incurred, owing by Guarantor to Creditor pursuant to any Convertible Debentures, as the same may be amended, modified, extended, replaced or superseded from time to time.
Subordinated Security Documents means each and all of the mortgages, security agreements, pledges, assignments and other documents and instruments at any time securing any of the Subordinated Obligations, subject, however, to Lenders consent in accordance with Section 2(d) of this Agreement.
2. Subordination of Subordinated Obligations.
(a) Creditor covenants and agrees that anything in any agreement or instrument creating, evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Obligations to the contrary notwithstanding, the Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, distribution and lien to the Lender Indebtedness, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i) Upon payment or distribution of all or any of the assets or securities of Borrower and/or Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution, winding up, or total or partial liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of Borrower and/or Guarantor or its debts, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement, reorganization, relief or other proceeding or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Borrower and/or Guarantor or otherwise, all Lender Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution may be made in respect of the Subordinated Obligations; and
(ii) No direct or indirect payment or demand for payment of principal or interest shall be made in respect of the Subordinated Obligations if, at the time of such payment or demand for payment, any Lender Indebtedness is outstanding or unpaid or Lender has any obligation to advance funds to or for the account of Borrower or Guarantor under any instrument or document; provided, however, that so long as there is no uncured Event of Default under the Loan and Security Agreement and no such Event of Default would be caused by a payment to Creditor, Guarantor shall be permitted to make, and Creditor shall be permitted to receive, any interest and/or principal payment on
all Convertible Debentures outstanding and held by Creditor, but only upon maturity of the same.
(b) If in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Creditor shall receive any payment or distribution in respect of the Subordinated Obligations at a time when any Lender Indebtedness is outstanding or unpaid or Lender has any obligation to advance funds to or for the account of Borrower or Guarantor under any instrument or document (other than payments permitted under this Agreement), then such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by Creditor apart from Creditors assets and shall be promptly paid over or delivered to Lender for application (in the case of cash) or as collateral for (in the case of non-cash property or securities) the payment or prepayment of the Lender Indebtedness; provided, that this Section 2(b) shall not apply to the issuance by the Guarantor of any Conversion Shares (as such term is defined in the Convertible Debenture Agreement) to the Creditor upon the conversion of any Convertible Debentures.
(c) Without notice to or assent by Creditor:
(i) the Lender Indebtedness and the obligations or liabilities of any other party or parties (including without limitation any guarantor, endorser or co-obligor) in respect of the Lender Indebtedness may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, restated, compromised or released; and
(ii) any and all mortgages, pledges, assignments, encumbrances, liens or security interests (legal or equitable) at any time, present or future, held, given or intended to be given for the Lender Indebtedness, and any rights or remedies in respect thereof, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be exchanged, sold, surrendered, released, modified, waived, restated or extended by Lender, and Lender may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action;
all as Lender may deem advisable and all without impairing, abridging, diminishing, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for herein to the Lender Indebtedness. All rights and interests of Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of any circumstance that might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower and/or Guarantor, or any lack of validity or enforceability of any document or instrument.
(d) In the event that payment may not be made to Creditor pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) as a result of an outstanding Event of Default, then the Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prompt notice to Creditor of the nature of such Event of Default; provided, however, that any failure by Lender to give such notice shall not affect the Lenders rights under this Agreement or otherwise. Creditor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any monetary default under the Loan and Security Agreement within five (5) calendar days after the later of (i) Creditor receives written notice of such default and (ii) after expiration of any applicable cure period for the Borrower or Guarantor; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to delay its exercise of any of Lenders rights or remedies under the Loan and Security Agreement during such period.
(d) Creditor hereby represents and warrants to Lender that none of the Subordinated Obligations are secured by any assets of Borrower or Guarantor or any other person or entity, and covenants and agrees that, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender, none of the Subordinated Obligations will be secured, directly or indirectly, by any of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor or any other person or entity. Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, or any of the other provisions hereof, in the event at any time any of the Subordinated Obligations are secured, it is further hereby agreed and acknowledged that all rights, titles, liens, estates, interest and remedies accruing to Creditor or its successors, assigns, designees, transferees, purchasers at foreclosure and/or other purchasers, whether as mortgagee, secured party, landlord, owner or otherwise, and whether consensual or arising by operation of law or in equity or otherwise, are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to all mortgages, security agreements, security interests, assignments, pledges, rights, titles, interests, estates and remedies of Lender and its successors, assigns, designees, transferees, purchasers at foreclosure and/or other purchasers, arising in connection with any of the Lender Indebtedness, whether consensual or arising by operation of law or in equity or otherwise. For so long as any of the Lender Security Documents and any modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof shall remain in effect, the mortgages, security agreements, security interests, rights, titles, interests, estates and remedies arising under any Subordinated Security Documents shall be superior to any mortgages, security agreements, security interests, rights, titles, liens, interest and estate in favor of any person or entity other than Lender, its successors or assigns, with respect to any collateral under the Lender Security Documents, and Creditor agrees that it shall not voluntarily subordinate any Subordinated Security Document to any mortgage, lease, security agreement, indenture, agreement, contract or encumbrance in favor of any person or entity other than Lender, its successors or assigns, respecting any such collateral under the Lender Security Documents.
Creditor further agrees that, for so long as any Lender Indebtedness remains outstanding, Creditor shall take no action to enforce collection of the Subordinated Obligations against Borrower or Guarantor of such Subordinated Obligations; nor shall the Creditor take any action to foreclose or enforce its rights as a secured creditor or lienholder or to establish its status as a lienholder under any Subordinated Security Documents or otherwise against any assets of Borrower or Guarantor or any guarantor of such Subordinated Obligations, except in accord with Section 4 below and Section 2 above; nor shall the payment terms of the Subordinated Obligations be modified.
3. Subordination Absolute. Neither the subordination provided for herein nor the rights of Lender hereunder shall be affected, modified or impaired by (a) any extension, renewal, modification, restatement, forbearance or waiver of any terms of any other instrument or document executed in connection herewith nor (b) any release, modification or substitution of any collateral therefor.
4. Reinstatement. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect (i) if at any time while the Loan and Security Agreement remains in effect, the Lender Indebtedness is reduced (even if reduced to zero) and thereafter increased or (ii) if at any time any payment of any of the Lender Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower and/or Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
5. [Intentionally Deleted.]
6. Cumulative Rights; No Waiver; Modification. Nothing herein contained or arising shall limit or restrict any of the obligations or agreements of Creditor, Borrower or Guarantor under any other document or instrument with or in favor of Lender. Each and every right granted to Lender hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any waiver thereof shall in any event be effective unless made by an instrument in writing signed by Lender and the party to be charged therewith.
7. Legends. Any instrument evidencing any of the Subordinated Obligations, or any portion thereof, shall be inscribed with a legend, or otherwise include a reference, conspicuously indicating that payment thereof is subordinated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and a copy thereof shall be delivered to Lender. Any such instrument shall also provide in substance that any transferee thereof shall, by acceptance thereof, assume, agree to and accept the terms of this Agreement.
8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia.
9. Termination. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until the final payment in full of all of the Lender Indebtedness, expiration of all commitments by Lender to make advances to Borrower and/or Guarantor under any document or instrument and the termination of all documents and instruments evidencing and/or securing any Lender Indebtedness.
10. Descriptive Headings. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof.
11. Binding Effect. Wherever in this Agreement one of the parties hereto is named or referred to, the heirs, administrators, executors, successors, assigns, distributees and legal and personal representatives of such party shall be included, and all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of Creditor, Borrower and/or Guarantor or by or on behalf of Lender shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors, assigns, distributees, and legal and personal representatives, whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Creditor, Borrower nor Guarantor shall be entitled to assign any of their respective rights, titles, and interest hereunder, delegate any of their respective obligations, liabilities, duties, or responsibilities hereunder, or permit any such assignment or delegation to occur (voluntarily or involuntarily, or directly or indirectly), without the prior written consent of Lender.
12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any jurisdiction
or jurisdictions or in all jurisdictions, or in all cases because it conflicts with any other provision or provisions hereof or any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for any other reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatever.

Exhibit 10.6
CREDITOR SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This Creditor Subordination Agreement (the Agreement) is made and entered into by Wynnefield Partners SmallCap Value, LP I (the Creditor), TeamStaff Government Solutions, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the Borrower), and TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the Guarantor), for the benefit of Presidential Financial Corporation, a Georgia corporation, and its successors and assigns (Lender).
WHEREAS, Borrower has obtained from Lender a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit (the Loan); and
WHEREAS, Creditor has heretofore loaned Guarantor sums of money; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to continuing to make the Loan available to Borrower, Lender has required that Creditor subordinate any and all loans and indebtedness outstanding under any Convertible Debentures, now or hereafter owed or owing by Guarantor to Creditor to any loan or indebtedness heretofore, now or hereafter owed or owing from Guarantor or Borrower to Lender, including, without limitation, any amounts now or hereafter owed or owing under or in connection with the Loan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, ten dollars, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned Guarantor and Creditor do hereby covenant and agree with Lender as follows:
1. Certain Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
Convertible Debentures shall mean any and all Convertible Debentures issued by the Guarantor pursuant to that certain Debenture Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2011, between the Guarantor, the Creditor and the other purchaser party thereto, up to a maximum principal amount of $350,000.
Event of Default shall mean an Event of Default under the Loan and Security Agreement.
Lender Indebtedness means the principal of all loans, all interest (including interest accrued subsequent to the filing of any petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law) on such principal amounts of such loans and all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities (including without limitation principal, interest and fees, and obligations under guaranties), whether now existing or hereafter incurred, of Borrower and/or Guarantor to Lender, under the Loan and Security Agreement, including without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, under or with respect to the Loan or any documents or instruments executed or delivered in connection therewith.
Lender Security Documents means each and all of the mortgages, revolving credit and security agreements, pledges, assignments, security agreements and other documents and instruments at any time securing any of the Lender Indebtedness.
Loan and Security Agreement means that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2010, as amended through the date hereof, and as may be subsequently amended, modified, restated, extended or renewed from time to time (but not to exceed at any one time $4,000,000 in maximum principal amount), by and among the Lender, the Borrower and the Guarantor.
Subordinated Obligations means all indebtedness (plus any interest heretofore, now or hereafter accrued thereon, including any interest accrued subsequent to the filing of any petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law), whether now existing or hereafter incurred, owing by Guarantor to Creditor pursuant to any Convertible Debentures, as the same may be amended, modified, extended, replaced or superseded from time to time.
Subordinated Security Documents means each and all of the mortgages, security agreements, pledges, assignments and other documents and instruments at any time securing any of the Subordinated Obligations, subject, however, to Lenders consent in accordance with Section 2(d) of this Agreement.
2. Subordination of Subordinated Obligations.
(a) Creditor covenants and agrees that anything in any agreement or instrument creating, evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Obligations to the contrary notwithstanding, the Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, distribution and lien to the Lender Indebtedness, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i) Upon payment or distribution of all or any of the assets or securities of Borrower and/or Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution, winding up, or total or partial liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of Borrower and/or Guarantor or its debts, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement, reorganization, relief or other proceeding or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Borrower and/or Guarantor or otherwise, all Lender Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution may be made in respect of the Subordinated Obligations; and
(ii) No direct or indirect payment or demand for payment of principal or interest shall be made in respect of the Subordinated Obligations if, at the time of such payment or demand for payment, any Lender Indebtedness is outstanding or unpaid or Lender has any obligation to advance funds to or for the account of Borrower or Guarantor under any instrument or document; provided, however, that so long as there is no uncured Event of Default under the Loan and Security Agreement and no such Event of Default would be caused by a payment to Creditor, Guarantor shall be permitted to make, and Creditor shall be permitted to receive, any interest and/or principal payment on
all Convertible Debentures outstanding and held by Creditor, but only upon maturity of the same.
(b) If in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Creditor shall receive any payment or distribution in respect of the Subordinated Obligations at a time when any Lender Indebtedness is outstanding or unpaid or Lender has any obligation to advance funds to or for the account of Borrower or Guarantor under any instrument or document (other than payments permitted under this Agreement), then such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by Creditor apart from Creditors assets and shall be promptly paid over or delivered to Lender for application (in the case of cash) or as collateral for (in the case of non-cash property or securities) the payment or prepayment of the Lender Indebtedness; provided, that this Section 2(b) shall not apply to the issuance by the Guarantor of any Conversion Shares (as such term is defined in the Convertible Debenture Agreement) to the Creditor upon the conversion of any Convertible Debentures.
(c) Without notice to or assent by Creditor:
(i) the Lender Indebtedness and the obligations or liabilities of any other party or parties (including without limitation any guarantor, endorser or co-obligor) in respect of the Lender Indebtedness may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, restated, compromised or released; and
(ii) any and all mortgages, pledges, assignments, encumbrances, liens or security interests (legal or equitable) at any time, present or future, held, given or intended to be given for the Lender Indebtedness, and any rights or remedies in respect thereof, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be exchanged, sold, surrendered, released, modified, waived, restated or extended by Lender, and Lender may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action;
all as Lender may deem advisable and all without impairing, abridging, diminishing, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for herein to the Lender Indebtedness. All rights and interests of Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of any circumstance that might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower and/or Guarantor, or any lack of validity or enforceability of any document or instrument.
(d) In the event that payment may not be made to Creditor pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) as a result of an outstanding Event of Default, then the Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prompt notice to Creditor of the nature of such Event of Default; provided, however, that any failure by Lender to give such notice shall not affect the Lenders rights under this Agreement or otherwise. Creditor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any monetary default under the Loan and Security Agreement within five (5) calendar days after the later of (i) Creditor receives written notice of such default and (ii) after expiration of any applicable cure period for the Borrower or Guarantor; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to delay its exercise of any of Lenders rights or remedies under the Loan and Security Agreement during such period.
(d) Creditor hereby represents and warrants to Lender that none of the Subordinated Obligations are secured by any assets of Borrower or Guarantor or any other person or entity, and covenants and agrees that, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender, none of the Subordinated Obligations will be secured, directly or indirectly, by any of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor or any other person or entity. Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, or any of the other provisions hereof, in the event at any time any of the Subordinated Obligations are secured, it is further hereby agreed and acknowledged that all rights, titles, liens, estates, interest and remedies accruing to Creditor or its successors, assigns, designees, transferees, purchasers at foreclosure and/or other purchasers, whether as mortgagee, secured party, landlord, owner or otherwise, and whether consensual or arising by operation of law or in equity or otherwise, are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to all mortgages, security agreements, security interests, assignments, pledges, rights, titles, interests, estates and remedies of Lender and its successors, assigns, designees, transferees, purchasers at foreclosure and/or other purchasers, arising in connection with any of the Lender Indebtedness, whether consensual or arising by operation of law or in equity or otherwise. For so long as any of the Lender Security Documents and any modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof shall remain in effect, the mortgages, security agreements, security interests, rights, titles, interests, estates and remedies arising under any Subordinated Security Documents shall be superior to any mortgages, security agreements, security interests, rights, titles, liens, interest and estate in favor of any person or entity other than Lender, its successors or assigns, with respect to any collateral under the Lender Security Documents, and Creditor agrees that it shall not voluntarily subordinate any Subordinated Security Document to any mortgage, lease, security agreement, indenture, agreement, contract or encumbrance in favor of any person or entity other than Lender, its successors or assigns, respecting any such collateral under the Lender Security Documents.
Creditor further agrees that, for so long as any Lender Indebtedness remains outstanding, Creditor shall take no action to enforce collection of the Subordinated Obligations against Borrower or Guarantor of such Subordinated Obligations; nor shall the Creditor take any action to foreclose or enforce its rights as a secured creditor or lienholder or to establish its status as a lienholder under any Subordinated Security Documents or otherwise against any assets of Borrower or Guarantor or any guarantor of such Subordinated Obligations, except in accord with Section 4 below and Section 2 above; nor shall the payment terms of the Subordinated Obligations be modified.
3. Subordination Absolute. Neither the subordination provided for herein nor the rights of Lender hereunder shall be affected, modified or impaired by (a) any extension, renewal, modification, restatement, forbearance or waiver of any terms of any other instrument or document executed in connection herewith nor (b) any release, modification or substitution of any collateral therefor.
4. Reinstatement. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect (i) if at any time while the Loan and Security Agreement remains in effect, the Lender Indebtedness is reduced (even if reduced to zero) and thereafter increased or (ii) if at any time any payment of any of the Lender Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower and/or Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
5. [Intentionally Deleted.]
6. Cumulative Rights; No Waiver; Modification. Nothing herein contained or arising shall limit or restrict any of the obligations or agreements of Creditor, Borrower or Guarantor under any other document or instrument with or in favor of Lender. Each and every right granted to Lender hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any waiver thereof shall in any event be effective unless made by an instrument in writing signed by Lender and the party to be charged therewith.
7. Legends. Any instrument evidencing any of the Subordinated Obligations, or any portion thereof, shall be inscribed with a legend, or otherwise include a reference, conspicuously indicating that payment thereof is subordinated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and a copy thereof shall be delivered to Lender. Any such instrument shall also provide in substance that any transferee thereof shall, by acceptance thereof, assume, agree to and accept the terms of this Agreement.
8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia.
9. Termination. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until the final payment in full of all of the Lender Indebtedness, expiration of all commitments by Lender to make advances to Borrower and/or Guarantor under any document or instrument and the termination of all documents and instruments evidencing and/or securing any Lender Indebtedness.
10. Descriptive Headings. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof.
11. Binding Effect. Wherever in this Agreement one of the parties hereto is named or referred to, the heirs, administrators, executors, successors, assigns, distributees and legal and personal representatives of such party shall be included, and all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of Creditor, Borrower and/or Guarantor or by or on behalf of Lender shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors, assigns, distributees, and legal and personal representatives, whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Creditor, Borrower nor Guarantor shall be entitled to assign any of their respective rights, titles, and interest hereunder, delegate any of their respective obligations, liabilities, duties, or responsibilities hereunder, or permit any such assignment or delegation to occur (voluntarily or involuntarily, or directly or indirectly), without the prior written consent of Lender.
12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any jurisdiction
or jurisdictions or in all jurisdictions, or in all cases because it conflicts with any other provision or provisions hereof or any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for any other reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatever.
