Item 1.01 Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Closing of Offering; Securities Purchase Agreement.
TeamStaff, Inc. has entered into Securities Purchase Agreements as of November 5, 2004 with several institutional investors for the private sale under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D of securities for an aggregate purchase price of $4,305,600. The offering consisted of the sale of 2,392,000 shares of Common Stock and 598,000 common stock warrants. The warrants have a three year exercise term and an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The investors in the transaction will receive one three-year warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share for every four shares of common stock purchased in the transaction.
Closing of the offering occurred on Wednesday, November 10, 2004. TeamStaff received net proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 after payment of commissions and related offering expenses. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Capital Markets and Maxim Group LLC served as selling agents on TeamStaff's behalf and received combined commissions of 6.5% of the gross proceeds. The net proceeds will be used principally to fund the Company's internal growth initiatives and to execute on its strategy of completing complementary acquisitions in the temporary medical staffing industry
The private placement is being made only to accredited investors in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The shares of common stock and warrants being issued are restricted securities and have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On Friday, November 5, 2004, TeamStaff's medical staffing subsidiary, TeamStaff Rx, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the medical staffing business of Nursing Innovations, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based provider of travel and per diem nurses. The terms of the agreement provide for TeamStaff Rx to acquire certain assets and goodwill from Nursing Innovations and its primary shareholder. The combined purchase price is approximately $1.8 million, of which $180,000 will be held in an escrow account for a period of one year to provide security for the sellers' indemnification obligations. In addition, there are certain deferred purchase price provisions which may increase the total purchase price based upon on the performance of the former Nursing Innovations business during the two years following closing of the transaction. Closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur by mid-November, is conditioned upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of client consents to assignment of their Nursing Innovations service agreements and closing of the private placement transaction.

The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreements, and the Agreements have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

The execution and delivery of the Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Securities under the Agreements, the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (A) conflict with or constitute a violation of, or default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, (i) any material bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness, lease, contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, joint venture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective properties are bound, (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective properties, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) for any such conflicts, violations or defaults which would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever upon any of the material properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary or an acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any material bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of the material property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary is subject.

The Company's certifying officers are responsible for establishing disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and they have (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under their supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared; (b) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the appropriate date as required by the rules under the Exchange Act in effect as of the filing of such report and presented in such report their conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of such appropriate date based on their evaluation; and (c) disclosed in the report any changes in the Company's internal controls or internal controls over financial reporting as required by the applicable rules under the Exchange Act in effect as of the filing of such report.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Investors is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Investor is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company with respect to the Agreements or the Engagement Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by any Investor or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Agreements or the Engagement Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Investor's purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Investor that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives. 4.30 No Integration.

The Company has not received notice from, and has no knowledge of any threat by, any insurer (that has issued any insurance policy to the Company or any subsidiary) that such insurer intends to deny coverage under or cancel, discontinue or not renew any insurance policy presently in force other than customary cautionary non-renewal notices generated by the carrier prior to the expiration of the applicable policy period as part of the renewal process. 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor. 5.1 The Investor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that: (i) the Investor is an institutional "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act and the Investor is also knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to investments in the Securities presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Securities, including investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable companies, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Securities; (ii) the Investor is acquiring the number of Securities set forth in Section 3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement in the ordinary course of its business and for its own account for investment only and with no present intention of distributing any of such Securities or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Securities; (iii) the Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including any prospectus delivery requirements); (iv) the Investor has answered all questions on the Investor Questionnaire for use in preparation of the Registration Statement and the answers thereto are true, correct and complete as of the 8 date hereof; (v) the Investor will notify the Company immediately of any change in any of such information until such time as the Investor has sold all of its Securities or until the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement effective; and (vi) the Investor has, in connection with its decision to purchase the number of Securities set forth in Section 3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, relied only upon the Private Placement Memorandum, Exchange Act Documents and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. The Investor understands that its acquisition of the Securities has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Investor's investment intent as expressed herein. 5.2 The Investor acknowledges, represents and agrees that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company that would permit an offering of the Securities, or possession or distribution of offering materials in connection with the issuance of the Securities, in any jurisdiction outside the United States where legal action by the Company for that purpose is required. Each Investor outside the United States will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense. 5.3 The Investor hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Securities without complying with the provisions of this Agreement and without causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and the Investor acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits their transfer except in accordance therewith. The Investor acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company determines that it must suspend the use of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement, as set forth in Section 7.2(c). 5.4 The Investor further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) the Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as the indemnification agreements of the Investors herein may be legally unenforceable. 5.5 Investor will not use any of the restricted Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock of the Company if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws. Further, the Investor is aware of and understands its obligations under Regulation M promulgated by the SEC in connection with transactions in the Company's securities during the Offering and during any distribution of Securities by the Investor following effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be filed by the Company on the Investor's behalf under Section 7 below. 5.6 The Investor understands that nothing in the Exchange Act Documents, this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities. 6. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Investor of the Securities being purchased and the payment therefor. 7. Registration of the Securities; Compliance with the Securities Act. 7.1 Registration Procedures and Other Matters. The Company shall: (a) subject to receipt of necessary information from the Investors after prompt request from the Company to the Investors to provide such information, prepare and file with the SEC, within 20 business days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to enable the resale of the shares of Common Stock (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant) by the Investors from time to time through the Nasdaq or in privately-negotiated transactions pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act which Registration Statement shall include a section entitled "Plan of Distribution" substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Investor Questionnaire, provided, 9 however, that in the event any Investor or Investors fail to provide the necessary information to the Company, the Company shall only be relieved of its obligation to file the Registration Statement as to that Investor or Investors; (b) use its best efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Investors after prompt request from the Company to the Investors to provide such information, to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 30 days after the Registration Statement is filed by the Company (unless the Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC, in which case the Company will be obligated to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the earlier of (i) 90 days after the date that the SEC notifies the Company that the Registration Statement is being reviewed or (ii) 120 days after the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC), provided, however, that in the event any Investor or Investors fail to provide the necessary information to the Company, the Company shall only be relieved of its obligation to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as to that Investor or Investors; (c) use its best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement current, effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact for a period not exceeding, with respect to each Investor's Securities purchased hereunder, the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Investor may sell all Securities then held by the Investor without restriction by the volume limitations of Rule 144(e) of the Securities Act, or (iii) such time as all Securities purchased by such Investor in this Offering have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement; (d) furnish to the Investor with respect to the Securities registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Securities by the Investor; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver copies of Prospectuses to the Investor shall be subject to the receipt by the Company of reasonable assurances from the Investor that the Investor will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and of such other securities or blue sky laws as may be applicable in connection with any use of such Prospectuses; (e) file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by the Investor and use its best efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 7.1(c); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented; (f) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraph (a) through (e) of this Section 7.1 and the registration of the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement; and (g) advise the Investor, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Registration Statement shall cover only the Securities. In no event at any time before the Registration Statement becomes effective with respect to the Securities shall the Company publicly announce or file any other registration statement, other than registrations on Form S-8, without the prior written consent of a majority in interest of the Investors. The Company understands that the Investor disclaims being an underwriter, but the Investor being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder; provided, however that if the Company receives notification from the SEC that the Investor is deemed an underwriter, then the period by which the Company is obligated to submit an acceleration request to the SEC shall be extended to the earlier of (i) the 90th day after such SEC notification, or (ii) 120 days after the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. 7.2 Transfer of Securities After Registration; Suspension. (a) The Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Securities or its right to purchase the Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 and as described below or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly 10 notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Investor or its plan of distribution. (b) Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall (i) if deemed necessary by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) promptly provide the Investor copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i); and (iii) inform each Investor that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 7.2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Investor to that effect, will use its best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Investor pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i) hereof when the amendment has become effective). (c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which, upon the advice of its counsel, necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to the Investor (the "Suspension Notice") to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Investor will refrain from selling any Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (a "Suspension") until the Investor's receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable within 20 business days after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Investor. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Investor, the Investor shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.2(c). (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 7.2, the Investor shall not be prohibited from selling Securities under the Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions for more than 60 Trading Days in any twelve month period, unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, upon the written opinion of counsel, the sale of Securities under the Registration Statement in reliance on this paragraph 7.2(d) would be reasonably likely to cause a violation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and result in liability to the Company. (e) Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Investor may sell Securities under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such Securities. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company agrees to provide promptly an adequate number of current Prospectuses to the Investor and to supply copies to any other parties requiring such Prospectuses. (f) In the event of a sale of Securities by the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Investor must also deliver to the Company's transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, so that the Securities may be properly transferred. 7.3 Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 7.3: (i) the term "Selling Stockholder" shall include the Investor and any affiliate of such Investor; 11 (ii) the term "Private Placement Memorandum" shall include the Private Placement Memorandum dated as of October 20, 2004, any supplements thereto and any Exchange Act Documents included as an exhibit to such Private Placement Memorandum; (iii) the term "Registration Statement" shall include the Prospectus in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required, each exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 and each of the Exchange Act Documents incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement; and (iv) the term "untrue statement" shall include any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Stockholder from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Selling Stockholder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) any material breach of the representations or warranties of the Company contained herein or material failure to comply with the covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Private Placement Memorandum, or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as amended at the time of effectiveness, or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iv) any material failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement, as amended at the time of effectiveness, and the Company will reimburse such Selling Stockholder for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim, or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or the failure of such Selling Stockholder to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in Section 7.2 hereof respecting sale of the Securities or any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Selling Stockholder prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Selling Stockholder. The Company shall reimburse each Selling Stockholder for the amounts provided for herein on demand as such expenses are incurred. Under no circumstances shall the Company be liable for any Selling Stockholder's indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, even if the Company is informed of their possibility or existence. (b) The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 7.2 hereof respecting sale of the Securities, or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the Investor will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided that the Investor's obligation to indemnify the Company shall be limited to the net amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Securities. (c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying person will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified person under this Section 7.3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying person's ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 7.3. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any 12 such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified person, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified person under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying person shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investor, as well as any other Selling Shareholders under such Registration Statement, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or an Investor or other Selling Shareholder on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investor and other Selling Shareholders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified person as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Securities to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Investor's obligations in this subsection to contribute shall be in proportion to its Investor sale of Securities to which such loss relates and shall not be joint with any other Selling Shareholders. (e) The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 7.3, and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7.3 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in the Registration Statement as required by the Act and the Exchange Act. The parties are advised that federal or state public policy as interpreted by the courts in certain jurisdictions may be contrary to certain of the provisions of this Section 7.3, and the parties hereto hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right or ability to assert such public policy as a defense to a claim under this Section 7.3 and further agree not to attempt to assert any such defense. 7.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by Section 5 or this Section 7 upon the transferability of the Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Securities when such Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Securities or at such time as an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act. 13 7.5 Information Available. So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Securities owned by the Investor, the Company will furnish to the Investor: (a) as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of its Annual Report to Shareholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a firm of certified public accountants); (b) upon the request of the Investor, all exhibits filed with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, and all other information that is made available to shareholders; and (c) upon the reasonable request of the Investor, an adequate number of copies of the Prospectuses to supply to any other party requiring such Prospectuses; and upon the reasonable request of the Investor, the President or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (or an appropriate designee thereof) will meet with the Investor or a representative thereof at the Company's headquarters to discuss all information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Securities and will otherwise cooperate with any Investor conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating such Investor's exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company's headquarters; provided, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information to or meet at its headquarters with any Investor until and unless the Investor shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with the Company with respect thereto. 7.6 Delayed Effectiveness. The Company and Investor agree that Investor will suffer damages if the Company fails to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 7.1 and 7.2 hereof and that it would not be possible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Company hereby agrees to pay liquidated damages ("Liquidated Damages") to Investor under the following circumstances: (a) if the Registration Statement is not filed by the Company on or prior to 20 business days after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.1(a) (such an event, a "Filing Default"); (b) if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the earlier of (i) 90 days after the SEC notifies the Company that the Registration Statement is being reviewed (if applicable) or (ii) 120 days after the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC (such an event, an "Effectiveness Default"); or (c) if the Registration Statement (after its effectiveness date) ceases to be effective and available to Investor for one or more periods that exceed in the aggregate 60 Trading Days in any 12-month period (such an event, a "Suspension Default" and together with a Filing Default and an Effectiveness Default, a "Registration Default"). In the event of a Registration Default, the Company shall as Liquidated Damages pay to Investor, for each 30-day period of a Registration Default, an amount in cash equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by Investor pursuant to this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of cash to be paid as Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section 7.6 exceed 4.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by Investor. The Company shall pay the Liquidated Damages as follows: (i) in connection with a Filing Default, on the 5th day after the date of the Filing Default, and each 30th day thereafter until the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC; (ii) in connection with an Effectiveness Default, on the 5th day after the date of the Effectiveness Default, and each 30th day thereafter until the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; or (iii) in connection with a Suspension Default, on the 65th day (in the aggregate) of any Suspensions in any 12-month period, and each 30th day thereafter until the Suspension is terminated in accordance with Section 7.2.

This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November __, 2004, between the Company and the named Holder, as hereinafter defined ("Securities Purchase Agreement) and is subject to the terms and conditions therein EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, after the date hereof and prior to 5:00 P.M. on November ___, 2007 by the registered holder of this Warrant (the "Holder") by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription form at the end hereof duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, together with payment in full of the Per Share Warrant Price for all of the Warrant Shares then being purchased. Payment for Warrant Shares shall be made by certified check or official bank check, payable to the order of the Company. If this Warrant is exercised in part, this Warrant must be exercised for a number of whole shares of the Common Stock, and the Holder will be entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant has not been exercised. Upon such surrender of this Warrant the Company will (a) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled and, in lieu of any fractional share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, purchase out of funds legally available therefor any such fractional interest for an amount in cash equal to the fair value of such fractional interest (determined in such reasonable manner as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine), and (b) deliver the other securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance or delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares of the Common Stock and other securities and properties as from time to time shall be receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all restrictions on sale or transfer and free and clear of all preemptive rights. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT SHARES. Whenever the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares shall be equitably adjusted as of the payment date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the holder of this Warrant shall become entitled upon exercise hereof to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of its Common Stock, then thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions contained in this Section 3 in respect of the Common Stock. If the Company shall be consolidated with or merged with or into another corporation (whether or not the Company shall be the surviving entity), or shall sell or exchange all or substantially all of its assets, or shall reclassify or reorganize its capital structure (except a stock dividend, split or combination covered by subparagraph 3(a) hereof), this Warrant shall be exercisable, on the terms and conditions hereof, for the number of shares of stock or other securities or properties to which the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled if they had been issued and held by the Holder on the record date for determining who is entitled to such other stock, securities or properties. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than those covered by subparagraph 3(a) hereof), or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for the Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor, surviving or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall agree that the Holder shall have the right, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive the kind and amount of stock, securities or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. FULLY PAID STOCK; TAXES. The Company agrees that the shares of the Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Company will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that the par value or stated value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the Per Share Warrant Price. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares or certificates therefor. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any stamp, original issue or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer and delivery of stock certificates in a name other than that of the Holder. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY.

An assignment or transfer may be made by surrendering this Warrant to the Company, together with an instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (if so required by the Company), properly executed by the registered holder or a duly authorized attorney.

Any transferee agrees, by the acceptance of this Warrant, to be bound by the terms of this Warrant. The Company may treat the registered holder of this Warrant as appears on its books at any time as the Holder for all purposes. All Warrants hereafter issued will continue to be dated the same date as this Warrant. If this Warrant or Common Stock issued on its exercise is not registered under the Securities Act, the Company may require as a condition to any sale, assignment or transfer that the Holder or transferee of such Warrant or Common Stock furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company that such sale, assignment or transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. This Warrant and certificates evidencing shares purchased under this Warrant shall bear a legend to the foregoing effect. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES; REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) The Company shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender thereof accompanied (if so required by the Company) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company.

CCG INVESTOR RELATIONS 300 Atrium Drive 15300 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 303 Somerset, NJ 08873 Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 (732) 748-1700 (818) 789 0100 T. KENT SMITH, PRESIDENT & CEO CROCKER COULSON PARTNER TEAMSTAFF ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF APPROXIMATELY $4.3 MILLION OF SECURITIES; ENTRY INTO DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT FOR ACQUISITION OF MEMPHIS-BASED TRAVEL NURSE STAFFING FIRM; CONFIRMS FOURTH QUARTERGUIDANCE; AND PROVIDES OUTLOOK FOR FISCAL YEAR 2005 Somerset, NJ - November 8, 2004- TeamStaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSTF), one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing and specialty payroll services, announced that it has received subscriptions from certain institutional accredited investors for the private placement of 2.4 million shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 600,0000 shares. The net proceeds of approximately $4 million after payment of offering expenses will be used principally to fund the Company's internal growth initiatives and to execute on its strategy of completing complementary acquisitions in the temporary medical staffing industry. The investors in the transaction will receive one three-year warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share for every four shares of common stock purchased in the transaction. Final allocation of the securities subscribed to among the investors will be made by TeamStaff prior to the closing of the transaction. The closing is conditioned upon customary closing conditions and is expected to occur by November 9, 2004. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Capital Markets and Maxim Group LLC served as selling agents on TeamStaff's behalf and received combined commissions of 6.5% of the gross proceeds. The securities were offered and sold in an exempt transaction in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1993 and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. TeamStaff is obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC to provide for the resale of the securities within 20 days of the closing. Commenting on the transaction, T. Kent Smith, TeamStaff's President and CEO, stated, "This transaction provides us with the capital to implement our ambitious organic and acquisitive growth strategy in the $10 billion healthcare staffing industry. The healthcare staffing industry currently is highly fragmented. This fragmentation provides a unique opportunity for well-capitalized participants to benefit from the same sorts of consolidation trends that occurred in the clerical/light industrial/financial/IT staffing sectors. The additional capital provided by the private placement transaction will allow us to take advantage of these opportunities." Mr. Smith continued, "We are quite pleased to announce that we are already beginning to execute on our growth strategy. On Friday, November 5, 2004, our medical staffing subsidiary, TeamStaff Rx, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the medical staffing business of Nursing Innovations, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based provider of travel and per diem nurses. Nursing Innovations has a first-rate reputation in providing registered nurses to healthcare clients on a nationwide basis. We are extremely happy that Lee Booth, the President of Nursing Innovations, will be joining TeamStaff to manage our nurse staffing business. Lee's expertise and reputation should allow us not only to grow our current nursing business, but should provide us with the opportunity to cross-sell allied staffing services to former Nursing Innovations clients and increase our penetration in our current allied staffing clients with our increased nurse staffing capabilities. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive." TeamStaff estimates that the acquisition will add approximately $14 million in annualized revenues and approximately $0.03 per fully diluted share in annualized earnings, even after taking into account the shares issued as part of the private placement. The terms of the agreement provide for TeamStaff Rx to acquire certain assets and goodwill from Nursing Innovations and its primary shareholder. The combined purchase price is approximately $1.8 million, of which $180,000 will be held in an escrow account for a period of one year to provide security for the sellers' indemnification obligations. In addition, there are certain deferred purchase price provisions which may increase the total purchase price based upon on the performance of the former Nursing Innovations business during the two years following closing of the transaction. Closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur by mid-month, is conditioned upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of client consents to assignment of their Nursing Innovations service agreements and closing of the private placement transaction. "Nursing Innovations is the first of what we anticipate will be a number of future strategic acquisitions to expand our presence in travel nurse staffing and other allied specialties, as well as achieve a greater degree of scale in our operations," stated Mr. Smith. "Over the past six months, we have had extensive negotiations with a number of prospective acquisition candidates and have identified four, in addition to Nursing Innovations, that help us leverage our market position as a leading provider of allied healthcare professionals. Our goal is to become a leading provider of healthcare travel staffing services. Through this combination of acquisitive and organic growth, we believe we should be well-positioned to be a key player in an industry that is projected to rebound by approximately 10% in 2005." TeamStaff also confirmed its guidance for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004. TeamStaff anticipates revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to be $9.1 million, which is comprised of $8.0 million in revenues from the medical staffing division and $1.1 million in revenues from the payroll services division. TeamStaff anticipates gross profit to be $2.3 million, or 25% of revenues. Operating expenses are expected to be $2.5 million for the quarter. Loss from operations is expected to be $0.3 million, which is attributable to income of $0.4 million in each of the Company's two operating units being offset by a loss of $1.1 million in the Company's corporate division. Loss from continuing operations is expected to be approximately $144,000, or ($0.01) per share, which is within the guidance provided by the Company on August 2, 2004. Net loss, including discontinued operations, is expected to be $0.4 million, or ($0.03) per share. Management expects to be able to issue fourth quarter and full year earnings release shortly, and does not anticipate that final results will vary materially from these estimates. LOOKING FORWARD: Commenting on TeamStaff's outlook for the 2005 fiscal year, Mr. Smith stated, "While we expect to be the beneficiary of a general improvement in the healthcare staffing sector in calendar year 2005, we are implementing a number of strategic objectives to enhance the Company's growth and profitability. We are targeting 2005 fiscal year revenues of between $67 million and $70 million. This forecast assumes organic revenue growth of approximately 10% to 15% in the Company's medical staffing division over the 2004 fiscal year, organic revenue growth of approximately 7% to 10% in the Company's payroll services division over the 2004 fiscal year, and additional revenues of $25 million to $30 million ($35 million to $45 million annualized) from projected acquisitions of healthcare staffing firms. Based on this revenue forecast, we are projecting fiscal year 2005 net income of between $0.6 million and $0.9 million and fiscal year 2005 fully-diluted earnings per share of between $0.03 and $0.05." TeamStaff's forecasts are based on a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to: 1) net proceeds from the private placement offering (excluding the exercise of any warrants) are approximately $4 million; 2) for the purposes of computing per share data, the private placement offering results in a total issuance of 3 million shares of TeamStaff common stock; 3) completion of the Nursing Innovations acquisition; 4) $1.8 million in restricted cash used as workers' compensation collateral becomes unrestricted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005; 5) TeamStaff secures a new credit facility providing approximately $3 million in available credit by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005; and 6) the consummation of several additional healthcare staffing firm acquisitions in fiscal year 2005. The private placement referred to above was made only to accredited institutional investors in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") under Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The shares of common stock being issued have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.
