Exhibit 10.11
First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
     This First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is
made as of January 1, 2009, between COMSYS IT Partners, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and Amy Bobbitt (the “Executive”).

1.   BACKGROUND   1.1   The Executive is a party to that certain employment
agreement with the Company dated February 14, 2008, and currently holds a senior
executive position with the Company. As a result, the Executive has significant
responsibility for the Company’s management, profitability and growth. Likewise,
the Executive possesses an intimate knowledge of the Company’s business and
affairs, including its policies, plans, methods, personnel, opportunities, and
challenges.   1.2   The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), acting
through the Compensation Committee, considers the continued employment of the
Executive to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The
Compensation Committee desires to structure the Executive’s compensation to
encourage the Executive to remain in service to the Company. This Agreement is
intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), to the extent applicable, and to otherwise meet current
needs. It is the intent of the Company that amounts that constitute deferred
compensation under this Agreement shall not be taxable to the Executive for
income tax purposes until the time actually received by the Executive.   2.

the actual Bonus Potential in any year may be adjusted up or down with the

amount of the Executive’s Bonus Potential that was earned during the bonus

will be prorated for any bonus period the Executive was not employed by

    the Company for the entire bonus period based on the portion of the bonus
period the Executive was employed by the Company. Any such prorated bonus will
be determined at the same time and in the same manner that bonuses are
determined for other participants in the Company Bonus Plan upon completion of
such bonus period and payments will be made at the time specified in Exhibit B.

earned by the Executive if the Executive resigns other than for Good Reason or

stated in this Agreement, including the improvements to Executive’s compensation
package made herein and the obligation to provide severance to Executive
following the termination of the Employment in certain events, the Executive
agrees that, during the Employment and for two (2) years after the termination
of the Employment, Executive will not directly or indirectly possess an
ownership interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, or render
services for any other person, firm, association or corporation, engaged in the
business of the Company Group without the prior written consent of the Company,
in the United States or any other geographic area where the Company Group is
conducting business, because such activity would unavoidably and unfairly
compromise the Company’s legitimate, protectable business interests in its
Confidential Information, clients, employees, suppliers and business
relationships.   9.2   Executive agrees that she will not, either directly or
indirectly, during the Employment and for two (2) years after termination of the
Employment, in any capacity whatsoever (either as an employee, officer,
director, stockholder, proprietor, partner joint venturer, consultant or
otherwise) (a) solicit, contact, call upon, communicate with, or attempt to
communicate with any of the Company Group clients or potential clients for the
purpose of providing services to such client, or (b) sell any services to any
client or potential client of the Company Group.

12

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

 

9.3   Nonsolicitation. Executive agrees that she will not, either directly or
indirectly, during the Employment and for two (2) years after termination of the
Employment, through any other entity, either alone or in conjunction with any
other person or entity employ, solicit, induce, or recruit, any person employed
by the Company Group at any time within the one (1) year period immediately
preceding such employment, solicitation, inducement or recruitment.   9.4   For
the purposes of this Agreement, “potential client” shall be defined as those
entities for which Executive has had access to Confidential Information during
her Employment, and “client” shall be defined as those entities with which the
Company Group has conducted any business during the one (1) year period prior to
termination of the Employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, “services”
shall mean activities performed by the Company Group at any time within the one
(1) year period preceding termination of Executive’s Employment.   9.5  
Executive agrees that it is her intention that any restriction contained in this
section that is determined to be unenforceable be modified by any Tribunal
having jurisdiction to be reasonable and enforceable, and, as modified, to be
fully enforced.   9.6   The Company will not unreasonably withhold its consent
under Section 9.1 to the Executive’s employment, after the termination of the
Employment, by a corporation that competes with Company, but only if, before
starting the new employment, the Executive provides the Company with a document
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, signed by both the
Executive and such corporation, containing (i) a written description of the
Executive’s duties in the new job, and (ii) specific assurances that in the new
job the Executive will neither use nor disclose the Company’s Confidential
Information.   9.7   Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive
covenants contained herein are reasonable in time, territory and scope, and in
all other respects. If a Tribunal determines that any of the restrictions set
forth in this Section 9 are unreasonably broad or otherwise unenforceable under
applicable law, then (i) such determination shall be binding only within the
geographical jurisdiction of the Tribunal, and (ii) the restriction will not be
terminated or rendered unenforceable, but instead will be reformed (solely for
enforcement within the geographic jurisdiction of the Tribunal) to the minimum
extent required to render it enforceable.   10.   CHANGE OF CONTROL   10.1  
Special Severance Benefits.

  (a)   If, during the specific time periods listed in subparagraph (b) below,
the Employment is terminated by any of the specific events listed therein, then
the Executive will be entitled to the following benefits (“Special Severance
Benefits”):

  (1)   all benefits that would be provided under this Agreement in the event of
a termination of the Employment without Cause by the Company, with the

13

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

 

      Severance Payment paid as provided in subparagraph (c) below, instead of
as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement; and     (2)   a special, additional
severance payment (the “Special Severance Payment”) equal to one-half (.5) times
the highest Base Salary in effect (i) during the 12 months immediately prior to
the Termination Date or (ii) during the Employment, if the Employment has lasted
less than 12 months.

  (b)   The specific termination events and time periods in which the Executive
will be entitled to the Special Severance Benefits are as follows:

  (1)   the Executive’s Employment is terminated by the Company, for any reason
other than Cause, at any time during the period beginning on the Change of
Control date and ending at 5:00 pm Phoenix time on the date two (2) years after
the Change of Control date; or     (2)   the Executive Resigns for Good Reason
at any time during the period beginning on the Change of Control date and ending
at 5:00 pm Phoenix time on the date two (2) years after the Change of Control
date.

  (c)   The Special Severance Payment and the Severance Payment required by this
Agreement shall be made to the Executive, in cash or immediately-available
funds, in a lump sum within ten (10) business days following the Termination
Date.     (d)   Payments pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to
constitute continued employment beyond the Termination Date.     (e)   As a
condition to providing the Executive with the Special Severance Benefits, the
Company will require the Executive to first execute a release on the same terms
as specified in Section 6.1(f) above.

10.2   A Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the
following events occurs after the Effective Date:

  (a)   The consummation of a Merger Transaction if (a) the Company is not the
surviving entity and (b) as a result of the Merger Transaction, 50 percent or
less of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the
other party to the Merger Transaction, immediately after the date of Change of
Control, are held in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock immediately
prior to the date of Change of Control.     (b)   The consummation of a Sale
Transaction.     (c)   Any Person, other than the Permitted Holders, becomes the
Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the
outstanding Voting Stock.

14

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

 

  (d)   The stockholders of the Company approve the dissolution of the Company.
    (e)   During any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, the
replacement of a majority of the members of the Board who were members of the
Board at the beginning of such period, and such new members shall not have been
(i) nominated or appointed to the Board pursuant to the terms of an agreement
with the Company, (ii) nominated for election or selected as a director by a
duly constituted nominating committee (or a subcommittee thereof) of the Board
or (iii) approved by a vote of at least a majority of the members of the Board
then still in office who either were members of the Board at the beginning of
such period or whose election as a member of the Board was so previously
approved.

10.3   Simultaneously with the occurrence of a Change of Control, all vesting
restrictions related to equity awards previously made to the Executive under the
Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (or any prior or
successor equity incentive plans) shall lapse, and all such awards shall become
fully vested without any requirement for further action on the Executive’s part.
  11.   CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS BY THE COMPANY. Anything in this Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any
payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive
upon a Change of Control, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a
“Payment”), 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 and penalties, are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to
receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that
after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties
imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax imposed upon the
Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal
to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid
to the Executive no later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year next
following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive remits the tax
payment to the appropriate taxing authority. Subject to the provisions of this
Section, all determinations required to be made hereunder, including whether a
Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, shall be
made by an accounting firm (at the sole expense of the Company) approved by the
Company and the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”), which firm shall provide
detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15
business days of the date of termination of the Employment, if applicable, or
such earlier time as is requested by the Company. If the Accounting Firm
determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, the Accounting Firm
shall furnish the Executive with an opinion that she has substantial authority
not to report any Excise Tax on her federal income tax return. Any determination
by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a
result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code, it is
possible that Gross-Up Payments may be miscalculated and may not cover the full
amount of Excise Taxes due (an “Underpayment”) consistent with the calculations
required to be made hereunder. If the

15

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

 

    Company exhausts its remedies pursuant hereto and the Executive thereafter
is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall
determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the
Executive.   12.   COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. To
the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement comply with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Code (hereinafter referred to as
“Section 409A”). This Agreement shall be administered in a manner consistent
with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement to fail to
satisfy Section 409A shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with
Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
in the event any payment or benefit hereunder is determined to constitute
nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then to the extent
necessary to comply with Section 409A, such payment or benefit shall not be
made, provided or commenced until six months after Executive’s Termination Date.
Lump sum payments will be made, without interest, as soon as administratively
practicable following the six-month delay. Any installments otherwise due during
the six-month delay will be paid in a lump sum, without interest, as soon as
administratively practicable following the six-month delay, and the remaining
installments will be paid in accordance with the original schedule. For purposes
of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments shall be treated
as a right to a series of separate payments. Each separate payment in the series
of separate payments shall be analyzed separately for purposes of determining
whether such payment is subject to, or exempt from compliance with, the
requirements of Section 409A.   13.   EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS, ETC. From time to
time, the Company may, in its discretion, establish, maintain and distribute
employee manuals or handbooks or personnel policy manuals, and officers or other
representatives of the Company may make written or oral statements relating to
personnel policies and procedures. The Executive will adhere to and follow all
rules, regulations, and policies of the Company set forth in such manuals,
handbooks, or statements as they now exist or may later be amended or modified.
Such manuals, handbooks and statements do not constitute a part of this
Agreement nor a separate contract, and shall not be deemed as amending this
Agreement or as creating any binding obligation on the part of the Company, but
are intended only for general guidance.   14.   OTHER PROVISIONS   14.1   This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon (i) the Company and
its successors and assigns and (ii) the Executive and the Executive’s heirs and
legal representatives, except that the Executive’s duties and responsibilities
under this Agreement are of a personal nature and will not be assignable or
delegable in whole or in part without the Company’s prior written consent.  
14.2   All notices and statements with respect to this Agreement must be in
writing and shall be delivered by certified mail return receipt requested; hand
delivery with written acknowledgment of receipt; or overnight courier with
delivery-tracking capability.

16

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

 

    Notices to the Company shall be addressed to the Company’s chief executive
officer or general counsel at the Company’s then-current headquarters offices.
Notices to the Executive may be delivered to the Executive in person or to the
Executive’s then current home address as indicated on the Executive’s pay stubs
or, if no address is so indicated, as set forth in the Company’s payroll
records. A party may change its address for notice by the giving of notice
thereof in the manner hereinabove provided.   14.3   If the Executive Resigns
for Good Reason because of (i) the Company’s failure to pay the Executive on a
timely basis the amounts to which she is entitled under this Agreement or (ii)
any other breach of this Agreement by the Company, then the Company shall pay
all amounts and damages to which the Executive may be entitled as a result of
such failure or breach, including interest thereon at the maximum non-usurious
rate and all reasonable legal fees and expenses and other costs incurred by the
Executive to enforce the Executive’s rights hereunder and the Executive will be
relieved of all obligations under Section 9 (noncompetition).   14.4   This
Agreement sets forth the entire present agreement of the parties concerning the
subjects covered herein except for any equity incentive award agreements between
the Company and the Executive. There are no promises, understandings,
representations, or warranties of any kind concerning those subjects except as
expressly set forth herein or therein.   14.5   Any modification of this
Agreement must be in writing and signed upon the express consent of all parties.
Any attempt to modify this Agreement, orally or in writing, not executed by all
parties will be void.   14.6   If any provision of this Agreement, or its
application to anyone or under any circumstances, is adjudicated to be invalid
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability will
not affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which can be
given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application and
will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or application in any
other jurisdiction.   14.7   This Agreement will be governed and interpreted
under the laws of the State of Texas.   14.8   No failure on the part of any
party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement will act as a waiver of the
right to enforce that provision.   14.9   Termination of the Employment, with or
without Cause, will not affect the continued enforceability of this Agreement.  
14.10   Section headings are for convenience only and shall not define or limit
the provisions of this Agreement.   14.11   This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which is an original. It shall not be necessary in
making proof of this Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account
for any of the other counterparts. A copy of this Agreement manually signed by
one party and transmitted to the other party by FAX or in image form via email
