Executive shall be based at the principal executive offices of the Company in

business or that of its Subsidiaries.
(c)Other Agreements. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that
his continued employment and the performance of his duties for the Company will
not conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default
under any contract, agreement or understanding to which he is or was a party or
of which he is aware and that there are no restrictions, covenants, agreements
or limitations on his right or ability to enter into and perform the terms of
this Agreement.

2.    Compensation, Benefits and Related Matters.

(a)Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company will pay the Executive
a salary (the “Base Salary”) at a rate of $480,000 per annum, payable in regular
periodic payments in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices.
The Base Salary may be increased (separately from and in addition to any
performance-based bonus awarded to the Executive consistent with Section 2(b)
below) from time to time at the sole discretion of the Board.

(b)Performance Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Executive will be
eligible to be paid an annual performance-based bonus (the “Performance Bonus”),

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for
Cause. Termination for Cause shall arise where termination results from any of
the following: (i) the Executive’s willful breach of duty unless waived by the
Company (which willful breach is limited to the Executive’s deliberate and
consistent refusal to confirm to or follow any reasonable policy adopted by the
Company provided the Executive has had prior written notice of such refusal and
an opportunity of at least thirty (30) days to cure such refusal); (ii) the
Executive’s unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade
secrets of the Company; (iii) the Executive’s breach of an applicable
non-competition or non-solicitation agreement; (iv) the Executive’s conviction
of a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; or (v) the
Executive’s gross negligence.

(d)Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment
hereunder (i) for Good Reason or (ii) without Good Reason. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence, without the Executive’s
consent, of any of the following events: (1) the Company reduces the amount of
the Base Salary, target bonus percentage, or employee benefits, except, in the
case of reductions of employee benefits, to the extent that they apply to all
similarly situated employees, (2) the Company requires the Executive to relocate
his principal place of employment to a location that is more than 25 miles from
the Company’s principal executive offices as of the date of this Agreement, or
(3) the Company materially and adversely changes the title or responsibilities
of the Executive.

(e)Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder
without Cause.

(f)Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Company or by the Executive other than a termination pursuant to Section 3(a)
shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto. In the event the Executive wishes to terminate his employment for Good
Reason in accordance with Section 3(d)(i), above, the Executive must provide the
Notice of Termination to the Company within thirty (30) days after the initial
occurrence of the event upon which such Good Reason termination is based. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which
shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the
provision so indicated.

(g)Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Executive’s
employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 3(b) above, the date on
which the Notice of Termination is given, (iii) if the Executive’s employment is
terminated pursuant to Section 3(c) above, the date on which the Termination
Notice is given (provided, that if the Executive’s employment is terminated
pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) or Section 3(c)(v) and the basis for such
termination is of such nature that may be cured, and the applicable breach,
violation or failure or refusal to perform is not cured by the 30th day after
the Notice of Termination is received by the Executive, then the Date of
Termination shall be such 30th day), (iv) if the Executive’s employment is
terminated for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3(d), thirty (30) days after
Notice of Termination is given by the Executive (provided

-4-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that the basis for such Good Reason is not cured by the Company within such
thirty (30) day period), and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by
the Company without Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, thirty (30)
days after the Notice of Termination is given.

4.    Compensation upon Termination or During Disability.

(a)During any period during the Employment Period that the Executive fails to
perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental
illness (“disability period”), the Executive shall continue to receive his full
Base Salary at the rate then in effect for such period until his employment is
terminated pursuant to Section 3(b).

(b)If (i) the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause pursuant to
Section 3(c), (ii) the Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason
pursuant to Section 3(d)(ii), or (iii) the Executive’s employment is terminated
pursuant to death or Disability, then in each case the Company shall pay the
Executive his full Base Salary through the date of delivery to the Executive or
the Company, as the case may be, of a Notice of Termination (or, in the case of
a termination due to death, through the date of death) at the rate in effect at
the time the Notice of Termination is given or the date of death (as
applicable), and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive
under this Agreement.

(c)If (i) the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause
pursuant to Section 3(e) (regardless of whether such termination is at the end
of an annual employment term), or (ii) the Executive shall terminate his
employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3(d)(i), and in each case such
termination of employment of the Employment Period (as applicable) qualifies as
a “separation of service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h), then:

(A)the Company shall pay the Executive (1) his full accrued and unpaid Base
Salary accrued and unpaid through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect
as of the Date of Termination; and (2) any due and unpaid Performance Bonus that
has been awarded to the Executive for a fiscal year ending prior to the Date of
Termination;

(B)in lieu of any further payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to
the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay as severance pay to the Executive
an amount equal to the Executive’s annual Base Salary in effect as of the Date
of Termination for a period of twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination
(the “Severance Period”), which, subject to the “waiting period” set forth in
Section 4(e), shall be payable over time in regular periodic payments in
accordance with the normal payroll policies of the Company; and

(C) Provided the Executive timely elects the respective COBRA coverage, the
Company shall provide the Executive with the benefits under the Company’s health
insurance, dental insurance and vision plans (collectively, the “Health Benefit
Plans”) which the Executive would have received at the same employee cost as if
the Executive’s

-5-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

employment had continued for the lesser of the Severance Period or the period
following the Date of Termination for which the Executive remains eligible for
COBRA with respect to such coverage, or if the Company is unable to continue a
benefit under the Health Benefit Plans for such period, the Company shall pay to
the Executive an amount each month equal to the cost to the Company of providing
such benefit under its Health Benefit Plans had it been able to do so, with such
benefit continuation or payment in lieu thereof subject to the requirements of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) provided that if this
provision raises any compliance issues or impositions of penalties under the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or other applicable law, then the
parties agree to (1) modify this Agreement so that it complies with the terms of
such laws or (2) provide a benefit to the Executive which represents the
economic equivalent of thereof.
(d)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes
of Section 4(c), the Executive shall be entitled to receive the severance
amounts and benefits set forth in Sections 4(c)(B) and 4(c)(C) only if the
Executive is not in material breach of any of the provisions of Section 5 or 6
of this Agreement.
(e)In the event of termination of the Employment Period in accordance with
Section 3, all obligations of the Company and Executive under this Agreement
will terminate, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and for any
amounts payable and benefits to be provided by the Company as specifically set
forth in this Section 4; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 5 and 17 shall
survive such termination in accordance with their respective terms and the
provisions of Section 6 and the relevant provisions of Sections 7 through 16
shall survive such termination indefinitely. In the event of termination of the
Employment Period in accordance with Section 3 (other than in connection with
Executive’s death or Disability), Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with
the Company, at the Company’s expense, in order to ensure an orderly transfer of
Executive’s duties and responsibilities.

(f)The Company will not be required to make the payments and provide the
benefits stated in Sections 4(c)(B) or 4(c)(C) unless within 60 days following
the Date of Termination, the Executive executes, delivers to the Company and
does not revoke, an agreement (in the form normally used by the Company for
senior executives at the time) releasing from all liability (other than the
payments or post-employment obligations contemplated by this Agreement, benefits
due under the terms of any employee benefit plan, and any indemnification
arrangement and D&O insurance arrangements of the Company with respect to the
Executive) the Company and its Affiliates and any of their respective past or
present directors, managers, officers, employees, members, shareholders,
controlling persons or agents, with respect to the Executive’s employment and
the termination thereof. The severance benefits described in this Section 4 will
be paid (or, in the case of the benefits described in Sections 4(c)(B) and
4(c)(C) will begin to be paid, but without reduction in amount) on the 60th day
following the date of the Executive’s separation from service. Any amount due to
the Executive with respect to such “waiting period” shall be paid to Executive
with the first payment made to him after such waiting period expires.

-6-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g)    If any compensation to be paid to Executive under Section 4 is
"nonqualified deferred compensation" subject to Code Section 409A, each payment
of such "nonqualified deferred compensation" shall be considered a separate
payment for purposes of Section 409A. Any such “nonqualified deferred
compensation” shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment by creditors, or
borrowing, to the extent necessary to avoid tax, penalties and/or interest under
Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code applies to this Agreement at
the time when the Executive would otherwise commence receiving a benefit under
this Section 4 and the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
such Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then to the extent required by such Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i), any payments otherwise due during the six-month period
immediately following the Executive’s “separation from service” (within the
meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h)) shall not be paid during such six-month
period but shall be paid on the first business day that occurs six months
following his separation from service.

The Executive hereby waives all moral rights in and to such inventions and other
items. The foregoing shall apply even if any or all of said patents or other
legal protections were applied for or registered in the name of the Executive as
inventor or developer. If the Company is unable to obtain the Executive’s
signature on any document needed to carry out the Executive’s obligations
hereunder, then the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agent and
attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and
in the Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to
do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Agreement
with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive. To the
extent that any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any provision of this
Section 6 is unenforceable because it requires the assignment of any invention
in contravention of the law or public policy of that jurisdiction, this Section
6 shall be interpreted to impose only the maximum permissible assignment
obligation.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise,
nothing shall limit the Executive’s rights under applicable law to provide
truthful information to any governmental entity or to file a charge with or
participate in an investigation conducted by any governmental entity.

(g)The Executive is hereby notified that the immunity provisions in Section 1833
of title 18 of the United States Code provide that an individual cannot be held
criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any
disclosure of a trade secret that is made (1) in confidence to federal, state or
local government officials, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney,
and is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected
violation of the law, (2) under seal in a complaint or other document filed in a
lawsuit or other proceeding, or (3) to the Executive’s attorney in connection
with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law (and
the trade secret may be used in the court proceedings for such lawsuit) as long
as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the trade
secret is not disclosed except pursuant to court order.

7.Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that the Company’s damages at
law would be an inadequate remedy for the breach by the Executive of any
provision of Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement, and agree in the event of
any actual or threatened breach of Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement that the
Company may obtain temporary and permanent injunctive relief restraining the
Executive from such breach without bond or other security, and, to the extent
permissible under the applicable statutes and rules of procedure, a temporary
injunction may be granted immediately upon the commencement of any such suit.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from
pursuing any other remedies available at law or equity for such breach or
threatened breach of Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement.

8.Notices. Any and all notices or other communications (a “Notice”) required or
permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed properly delivered if (a)

fifth business day following deposit with the mail carrier, (c) if sent by
nationally recognized next-day or overnight mail or delivery service, on the

and, provided that no assignment by the Company (including by operation of law
as in the case of merger of the Company) or succession of rights to a successor
of to the Company shall, without the written consent of the Executive, apply to
expand the scope of restrictions applicable to Executive under Section 5. The

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement, to

accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without application of
its principles of conflict of laws.

11.JURISDICTION.

(a)EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. THE EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS
TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL DISPUTES AMONG OR BETWEEN THEM ARISING OUT OF,
CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG
OR BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND WHETHER ARISING IN
CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY THE COURTS OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA, UNLESS
SUCH COURT DECLINES THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION, IN WHICH CASE THE COURTS OF
THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA LOCATED IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AND THE
EXECUTIVE HEREBY CONSENT AND SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.

(b)WAIVERS. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL
PROCESS UPON THEM AND CONSENT THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY
REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO THE ADDRESSES SET FORTH IN SECTION 8, AND SERVICE SO
MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF. THE PARTIES
HERETO HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, ANY OBJECTION BASED

AGREEMENT OR BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT
CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY
CLAIMS. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE IN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA IS A REASONABLY CONVENIENT FORUM TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE
BETWEEN ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS
REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS
FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11 SHALL AFFECT

-13-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY
LAW.
12.Severability. The Company and the Executive believe the covenants against
competition contained in this Agreement (including in particular Sections 5 and
6) are reasonable and fair in all respects, and are necessary to protect the
interests of the Company. However, in case any one or more of the provisions or
parts of a provision contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
or part of a provision of this Agreement or any other jurisdiction, but this
Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction as if such
invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision or part of a provision has never
been contained herein and such provision or part shall be reformed so that it
would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such
jurisdiction.
13.Neutral Interpretation. This Agreement constitutes the product of the
negotiation of the parties hereto and the enforcement hereof shall be
interpreted in a neutral manner, and not more strongly for or against any party
based upon the source of the draftsmanship hereof.
14.Waiver of Compliance; Consents. Any failure of the Executive to comply with
any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived only in
writing by the Company, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict
compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not
operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other
failure. No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or of the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Whenever this Agreement
requires or permits consent by or on behalf of the Company any such written
consent given by the Company shall be deemed given in a manner consistent with
the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 14. No
notice to or demand on the Executive in any case shall entitle the Executive to
any other or further notice or demand in related or similar circumstances
requiring such notice.
15.Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. The section headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject
matter contained herein and may not be modified orally, but only by a writing
subscribed by the party charged therewith. There are no restrictions, promises,
representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those
expressly set forth or referred to herein. The rights and remedies herein
provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.

-14-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16.Compliance with Section 409A.
(a)This Agreement is intended, and shall be interpreted, to avoid the adverse
consequences of Section 409A of the Code. If any provision of this Agreement is
or might be inconsistent with the requirements of Section 409A, such provision
shall be read, or deemed to be amended, to the extent necessary to bring it into
compliance with Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment to be
made under this Agreement will be treated as a separate payment. In no event may
the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.
(b)All reimbursements provided under this Agreement will be made or provided in
accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable,
the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the
Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this
Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a
calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any
other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made
on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the
expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to
liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
(c)Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company to satisfy the
Executive’s obligation to pay (or require the Company to indemnify the Executive
with respect to) required taxes on any amounts or benefits provided under this
Agreement, including without limitation, any taxes imposed under Section 409A.
17.Golden Parachute Tax.
(a)In the event that it is determined that any payment or distribution of any
type to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether under this Agreement or
otherwise) made by the Company, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, by any
person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or Purchaser
or ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or Purchaser
(within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and the regulations thereunder)
or by any affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Total
Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise
tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are collectively referred to
as the “Excise Tax”), then such payments or distributions shall be payable
either in (x) full or (y) as to such lesser amount which would result in no
portion of such payments or distributions being subject to the Excise Tax and
the Executive shall receive the greater, on an after-tax basis, of (x) or (y)
above.

-15-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)If a reduction in the Total Payments constituting “parachute payments” is
necessary so that no portion of such Total Payments is subject to the excise tax
under Section 4999 of the Code, the reduction shall occur in the following
order: (i) reduction of cash payments for which the full amount is treated as a
parachute payment; (ii) cancellation of accelerated vesting (or, if necessary,
payment) of cash awards for which the full amount is not treated as a parachute
payment; (iii) cancellation of any accelerated vesting of equity awards; and
(iv) reduction of any continued employee benefits. In selecting the equity
awards (if any) for which vesting will be reduced under clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence, awards shall be selected in a manner that maximizes the
after-tax aggregate amount of Total Payments provided to the Executive, provided
that if (and only if) necessary in order to avoid the imposition of an
additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, awards instead shall be selected
in the reverse order of the date of grant. For the avoidance of doubt, for
purposes of measuring an equity compensation award’s value to the Executive when
performing the foregoing comparison between (x) and (y), such award’s value
shall equal the then aggregate fair market value of the vested shares underlying
the award less any aggregate exercise price less applicable taxes. Also, if two
or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced
on a pro-rata basis.
(c)All mathematical determinations and all determinations of whether any of the
Total Payments are “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Code) that are required to be made under this Section shall be made by a
nationally recognized independent audit firm selected by the Company (the
“Accountants”), who shall provide their determination, together with detailed
supporting calculations regarding the amount of any relevant matters, both to
the Company and to the Executive. Such determination shall be made by the
Accountants using reasonable good faith interpretations of the Code. As
expressly permitted by Q/A #32 of the Code Section 280G regulations, with
respect to performing any present value calculations that are required in
connection with this Section, the Executive and the Company each affirmatively
elect to utilize the Applicable Federal Rates (“AFR”) that are in effect as of
the Effective Date and the Accountants shall therefore use such AFRs in their
determinations and calculations. Any determination by the Accountants shall be
binding upon the Company and the Executive, absent manifest error. The Company
shall pay the fees and costs of the Accountants which are incurred in connection
with this Section.
18.Company Non-Disparagement. During the Employment Period and for a period of
two (2) years after the termination of the Executive’s employment for any
reason, the Company and the Company’s parent company, On Assignment, Inc., shall
direct its executive officers not to make any oral or written statements that
libel, slander or disparage the Executive; provided, that this Section 18 shall
not limit or impair the ability of the Company to provide truthful testimony in
response to any validly issued subpoena.

-16-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19.Additional Definitions.
(a)For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect
to any entity, another person or entity that directly or indirectly, through one
or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with, such entity; and the term “control” (including the terms “controlled by”
and “under common control with”) shall mean, with respect to the relationship
between or among two or more person or entities, means the possession, directly
or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the affairs or
management of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
contract or otherwise, including the ownership, directly or indirectly, of
securities having the power to elect a majority of the board of directors or
similar governing body of such entity.

(b)For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” shall mean, with
respect to any entity, a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or
other entity of which shares of stock or other ownership interests having
ordinary voting power (other than stock or such other ownership interests having
such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) sufficient to elect
a majority of the board of directors or similar governing body of such entity
are at the time owned, or the management of which is otherwise controlled, in
any such case directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, or
both, by such entity.

(c)For purposes of Sections 5 and 6 hereof, the term “Company” shall also
include the Subsidiaries of ECS Federal, LLC.

to time (the “Plan”), hereby grants to the holder listed below (“Participant”),
an award of Time and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“Restricted Stock
Units” or “RSUs”). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive

Unit. This award of Restricted Stock Units is subject to all of the terms and
conditions set forth herein and in the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit
Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Award Agreement”) and the

Grant Number:
[TBD]
                                                                     
Total Number of RSUs:

_____ RSUs (the “RSUs”) which is equal to $820,000 divided by the Fair Market
Value (as defined in the Plan) of a share of the Company’s common stock on the
Grant Date rounded down to the nearest whole share of the Company’s common
stock.
Vesting Schedule:
For the 2018 positive EBITDA Component (60% of the Total Number of the RSUs):
This Component shall vest on each of the following three dates: (a) 50 percent
on the second anniversary of the Grant Date; (b) 25 percent on the third

EXHIBIT A
TO TIME AND PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD NOTICE
ON ASSIGNMENT, INC. RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Time and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice
(the “Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this
“Agreement”) is attached, On Assignment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), has granted to Participant an award of restricted stock units
(“Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs”) under the Amended and Restated On
Assignment, Inc. 2012 Employment Inducement Award Plan, as amended from time to
time (the “Plan”).

ARTICLE I.
GENERAL
1.1    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall
have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice. As used herein,
the term “stock unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is
deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding Share
(subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan) solely for
purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units shall be
used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be
made to Participant if such Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 2.3
hereof. The Restricted Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a
trust fund of any kind.
1.2    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event
of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan
shall control.
ARTICLE II.

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
2.1    Grant of RSUs; Employment Inducement Award.
(a)    For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged by
the Company, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the
“Grant Date”), the Company grants to Participant an award of RSUs as set forth
in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and
this Agreement.
(b)    The RSUs are intended to constitute an “employment inducement” award
under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Rule 303A.08, and consequently are
intended to be exempt from the NYSE rules regarding shareholder approval of
stock option plans or other equity compensation arrangements. This Agreement and
the terms and conditions of the RSUs shall be interpreted in accordance and
consistent with such exemption.
2.2    Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each RSU has a value equal to the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date it becomes vested. Unless and until the RSUs
will have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, Participant will
have no right to payment of any such RSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested
RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable
(if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

A-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.3    Vesting Schedule. Subject to Sections 2.5 hereof, the RSUs awarded by the
Grant Notice will vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable
portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth on the Grant Notice
to which this Agreement is attached (the “Vesting Schedule”), subject to
Participant’s continued employment or services through the applicable vesting
dates, as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the RSUs
and the rights and benefits under this Agreement.
2.4    Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the award
of RSUs by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient
services to the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement
shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of
the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the
rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly
reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for
any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly
provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary
and Participant.
2.5    Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Services.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon Participant’s
Termination of Service for any or no reason, all then unvested RSUs subject to
this Agreement will thereupon be automatically forfeited, terminated and
cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any
consideration by the Company, and Participant, or Participant’s beneficiary or
personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights
hereunder.
2.6    Payment upon Vesting.
(a)    As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any
Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later
than sixty (60) days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this
deadline is intended to comply with the “short-term deferral” exemption from
Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to Participant (or any
transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares (either by
delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares
in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal
to the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this award that vest on the
applicable vesting date, unless such Restricted Stock Units terminate prior to
the given vesting date pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 2.7(a), (b)
or (c) hereof, then the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding
sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator
determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with Sections 2.7(a),
(b) or (c) hereof.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company
shall be entitled to require payment by Participant of any sums required by
applicable law to be withheld with respect to the grant of RSUs or the issuance
of Shares. Such payment shall be made by deduction from other compensation
payable to Participant or in such other form of consideration acceptable to the
Company which may, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, include:
(i)    Cash or check;
(ii)    Surrender of Shares (including, without limitation, Shares otherwise
issuable under the RSUs) held for such period of time as may be required by the
Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a
Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the minimum amount required
to be withheld by statute; or

A-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)    Other property acceptable to the Administrator (including, without
limitation, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a
market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable under the
RSUs, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the
net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of its withholding
obligations; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company
at such time as may be required by the Company, but in any event not later than
the settlement of such sale).
The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing
Shares to Participant or Participant’s legal representative or enter such Share
in book entry form unless and until Participant or Participant’s legal
representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all
federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant
resulting from the grant or vesting of the RSUs or the issuance of Shares.
2.7    Conditions to Delivery of Stock. Subject to Section 2.6 hereof, the
Shares deliverable hereunder, or any portion thereof, may be either previously
authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. Such Shares shall be fully
paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
any Shares deliverable hereunder or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all
of the following conditions:
(a)    The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which
such Shares are then listed;
(b)    The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares
under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the
Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;
(c)    The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or
federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute
discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;
(d)    The receipt by the Company of full payment for such Shares, including
payment of any applicable withholding tax, which may be in one or more of the
forms of consideration permitted under Section 2.6 hereof; and
(e)    The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the vesting of any
Restricted Stock Units as the Administrator may from time to time establish for
reasons of administrative convenience.
2.8    Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any
of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without
limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and
any Shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such
Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder
(as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the
Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan.

A-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE III.

OTHER PROVISIONS
3.1    Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the
Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to
interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all
interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall
be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested
persons. Neither any person or persons acting as the Administrator nor any
member of the Committee or the Board shall be personally liable for any action,
determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan,
this Agreement or the RSUs.
3.2    Grant is Not Transferable. During the lifetime of Participant, the RSUs
may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the Shares
underlying the RSUs have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such
Shares have lapsed. Neither the RSUs nor any interest or right therein shall be
liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her
successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer,
alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means
whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by
judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable
proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall
be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is
permitted by the preceding sentence.
3.3    Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of
the RSUs contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of
the parties hereto.
3.4    Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate
payment and vesting of the Restricted Stock Units in such circumstances as it,
in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of
certain events relating to the Shares contemplated by Section 12.2 of the Plan
(including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Stock),
the Administrator shall make such adjustments the Administrator deems
appropriate in the number of Restricted Stock Units then outstanding and the
number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Restricted
Stock Units. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs are subject to amendment,
modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and
under the Plan, including without limitation, under Section 12.2 of the Plan.
3.5    Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the
Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the
Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to
Participant shall be addressed to Participant at Participant’s last address
reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section
3.5, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be
given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email
or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with
postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by
the United States Postal Service.
3.6    Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to
serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
3.7    Governing Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern the
interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the
terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under
principles of conflicts of laws.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.8    Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan and
this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all
provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all
regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are
granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and
regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this
Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such
laws, rules and regulations.
3.9    Amendments, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the
Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified,
suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator;
provided that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment,
modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect
the RSUs in any material way without the prior written consent of Participant.
3.10    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under
this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the
restrictions on transfer herein set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, this Agreement
shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns.
3.11    Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16
of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the RSUs and this Agreement shall be subject to
any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
3.12    Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement
constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety
all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with
respect to the subject matter hereof.
3.13    Section 409A. The RSUs are not intended to constitute “nonqualified
deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together
with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance
issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other
guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”). However,
notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this
Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that the RSUs (or any
portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have
the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to
indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such
amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other
policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with
retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines
are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the
application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
3.14    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no
rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a
contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and
shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying
program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the
rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts
credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no
greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor
with respect to RSUs, as and when payable hereunder.
