2008 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN




SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLAN.




     The Administaff, Inc. 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is hereby established to
provide Eligible Employees with an opportunity to increase their proprietary interest in the
success of the Company by purchasing Stock from the Company on favorable terms and to pay for such
purchases through payroll deductions. The Plan is intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment
under section 423 of the Code.



SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS.




     When used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings solely for purposes of
the Plan:



     (a) “Administrator” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
or such other individual or individuals appointed by the Board or the Committee from time to time
to act as Administrator.



     (b) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.



     (c) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.



     (d) “Company” means Administaff, Inc., a Delaware corporation.



     (e) “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board.



     (f) “Compensation” means the amount of compensation paid to an Eligible Employee by a
Participating Company as salary, wages or other amounts paid for personal services actually
rendered in the course of employment with the Participating Company to the extent includable in
gross income of the Eligible Employee, increased by amounts described in sections 125, 132, 401(k)
and 402A of the Code but excluding (a) contributions to and distributions from a plan of deferred
compensation, regardless of whether such amounts are includible in the gross income of the Eligible
Employee when contributed or distributed (as applicable); (b) amounts realized as a result of
participation in a Participating Company’s long-term incentive programs including, without
limitation, the exercise of stock options and upon the vesting of restricted stock; (c) other
amounts which receive special tax benefits, such as premiums for group-term life insurance,
(whether or not the contributions are excludable from the gross income of the Eligible Employee);
and (d) reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash or non-cash), moving
expenses and welfare benefits. The Administrator shall determine whether a
particular item is included in Compensation and shall have the authority to amend the
definition of Compensation from time to time as it deems appropriate.

     (g) “Corporate Transaction” means (i) any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange
of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company; (ii) any
merger, consolidation, spin-off, spin-out, split-off, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete
liquidation or other distribution of assets (other than a normal cash dividend) or issuance of
rights or warrants to purchase securities; or (iii) any other corporate transaction or event having
an effect similar to any of the foregoing.



     (h) “Eligible Employee” means any common-law employee of a Participating Company who has been
an employee of a Participating Company for not less than one consecutive month (or such other
period of service as the Administrator may establish from time to time) before the beginning of the
applicable Offering Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any employee whose customary employment
is five or fewer months per calendar year or whose participation in the Plan is prohibited by the
law of any country that has jurisdiction over such employee is not an Eligible Employee and shall
not be eligible to participate in the Plan. The determination of whether an individual is an
Eligible Employee shall be made by the Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion.



     (i) “Fair Market Value” means the fair market value of the Stock based on the closing price of
a share of Stock on the principal exchange on which the shares are trading, as determined in good
faith by the Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion, consistent with the requirements of
section 423 of the Code and income tax regulations promulgated thereunder. Whenever possible, the
determination of Fair Market Value by the Administrator shall be based on the prices reported in
The Wall Street Journal or as reported directly to the Company by the applicable stock exchange.
Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.



     (j) “Offering Period” means a period during which contributions may be made toward the
purchase of Stock under the Plan, as determined pursuant to Section 6.

shall in no event qualify as a Participating Company.

Section 9(a).

as determined pursuant to Section 7.



     (o) “Stock” means the Common Stock of the Company.

     (p) “Subsidiary” means, with respect to the Company, a subsidiary corporation as defined in
section 424(f) of the Code.



SECTION 3. SHARES AUTHORIZED.




     The maximum aggregate number of shares which may be offered under the Plan shall be 1,500,000
shares of Stock, which number is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13.



SECTION 4. ADMINISTRATION.




     The Committee shall have the discretionary power to construe, administer and interpret the
Plan and to resolve any ambiguities thereunder; to prescribe, amend and rescind administrative
rules relating to the Plan; to set the provisions which will determine an employee’s ability to
participate in the Plan and to take all other actions that are necessary or appropriate for
administration of the Plan. Such interpretations, rules and actions of the Committee shall be
final and binding upon all concerned and, in the event of judicial review, shall be entitled to the
maximum deference allowable by law. The Board or the Committee shall have the right to delegate
responsibility for construing, administering, or interpreting the Plan, including the establishment
of a claims procedure, to a designated officer or officers who shall act as an Administrator. Where
the Committee has delegated its responsibility for matters of construing, administering or
interpreting the Plan, including the establishment of a claims procedure, to an Administrator, the
actions of the Administrator shall constitute actions of the Committee.



SECTION 5. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION.




     (a) Any person who qualifies or will qualify as an Eligible Employee on the first day of an
Offering Period may elect to participate in the Plan for such Offering Period by following the
procedures prescribed by the Administrator. Subject to Section 8, each Eligible Employee shall
designate the percentage of his or her Compensation which he or she elects to have withheld for the
purchase of Stock.



     (b) By enrolling in the Plan, a Participant shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the
maximum number of shares of Stock which can be purchased with the amount of the Participant’s
Compensation which is withheld during the Offering Period, subject to any limitations imposed by
the Administrator pursuant to this Section 5 and Section 14.



     (c) Once enrolled, a Participant will continue to participate in the Plan based on his or her
most recent election under the Plan for each succeeding Offering Period until he or she terminates
participation or ceases to qualify as an Eligible Employee. A Participant who
withdraws from the Plan in accordance with Section 10 may again become a Participant, if he or
she then is an Eligible Employee, by following the procedures prescribed by the Administrator.

SECTION 6. OFFERING PERIODS.




     While the Plan is in effect, each Offering Period shall consist of a six-month period
commencing on January 1 or July 1 or a three-month period commencing on January 1, April 1, July 1
or October 1, as designated by the Administrator prior to the commencement of such Offering Period.
The initial Offering Period under the Plan shall be determined by the Administrator.



SECTION 7. PURCHASE PRICE.




     The Purchase Price for each share of Stock purchased at the close of an Offering Period shall
be 95% (or such other percentage that is not lower than 85% as designated by the Administrator
prior to the commencement of an Offering Period) of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last
trading day in such Offering Period.



SECTION 8. EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS.




     (a) A Participant may purchase shares of Stock solely by means of payroll deductions. Payroll
deductions, as designated by the Participant pursuant to Section 5(a), shall commence as soon as
administratively practicable after completion of the procedures prescribed by the Administrator. An
Eligible Employee shall designate the portion of his or her Compensation that he or she elects to
have withheld for the purchase of Stock. The portion shall be a whole percentage of Compensation
but not less than 1% nor more than 30%. Such percentage limits are subject to change by the
Administrator, at any time and for any reason, without notice to Participants.



     (b) If a Participant desires to decrease the rate of payroll withholding or to discontinue
contributions during the Offering Period, he or she may do so, if permitted by the Administrator,
by following the procedures prescribed by the Administrator. Such decrease will be effective as
soon as administratively practicable after completion of the procedures prescribed by the
Administrator. No Participant shall make more than two elections under this Section 8(b) during
each Offering Period. The limit on the number of changes permitted under this Section 8(b) is
subject to change by the Administrator, at any time and for any reason, without notice to
Participants.



     (c) If a Participant desires to increase the rate of payroll withholding, he or she may do so
effective for the next Offering Period by following the procedures prescribed by the Administrator.



SECTION 9. PLAN ACCOUNTS; PURCHASE OF SHARES.




     (a) The Company will maintain a non-interest bearing Plan Account on its books in the name of
each Participant. At the close of each pay period, the amount deducted from the Participant’s
Compensation will be credited to the Participant’s Plan Account.



4









 





     (b) Following the purchase of the shares, the shares will be credited in book entry form as
soon as practicable after each purchase date to an account administered by a designated custodian
which is a brokerage firm, bank or financial institution, to be held for the benefit of the
Participant. A Participant may, at any time, in such form and manner as established by the
custodian, direct the custodian to deliver to the Participant all or part of the shares held by the
custodian in his or her account or to sell such shares and deliver to the Participant the proceeds
therefrom, less applicable expenses; provided, however, that the Administrator may establish
procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of the shares.



     (c) In the event that the aggregate number of shares which all Participants elect to purchase
during an Offering Period shall exceed the number of shares remaining available for issuance under
the Plan, then the number of shares to which each Participant shall become entitled shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares available for issuance by a fraction. The numerator
of such fraction is the number of shares the Participant has elected to purchase pursuant to
Section 5. The denominator of such fraction is the number of shares that all Participants have
elected to purchase pursuant to Section 5. Any cash amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan
Account under these circumstances shall be distributed to the Participant.



     (d) An amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account that represents the purchase price
for any fractional share shall be carried over in the Participant’s Plan Account to the next
Offering Period. Any amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account for any other reason shall
be refunded to the Participant in cash, without interest.



     (e) As soon as practicable following the end of each Offering Period, the Company shall
deliver to each Participant a Plan Account statement setting forth the amount of payroll
deductions, the purchase price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if
any.



     (f) Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no shares of Stock shall be purchased
under the Plan unless and until the Company’s stockholders have approved the adoption of the Plan.



SECTION 10. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN.




     A Participant may elect to withdraw from participation under the Plan at any time up to the
fifteenth day of the last month of an Offering Period (or such other date specified by the
Administrator) by following the procedures prescribed by the Administrator. As soon as
administratively practicable after a withdrawal, payroll deductions shall cease and all amounts
credited to the Participant’s Plan Account will be distributed to the Participant in cash, without
interest. No partial withdrawals shall be permitted. A Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan
shall not be a Participant in future Offering Periods, unless he or she again enrolls in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5 and re-enrollment may be effective only at the commencement of an
Offering Period.

SECTION 11. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.




     Termination of employment as an Eligible Employee for any reason, including death, shall be
treated as an automatic withdrawal from the Plan under Section 10. A transfer from one
Participating Company to another shall not be treated as a termination of employment.



SECTION 12. RIGHTS NOT TRANSFERABLE.




     The rights or interests of any Participant in the Plan, or in any Stock or cash to which he or
she may be entitled under the Plan, shall not be transferable by voluntary or involuntary
assignment or by operation of law, or by any other manner other than as permitted by the Code or by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. If a Participant in any manner attempts to transfer,
assign or otherwise encumber his or her rights or interest under the Plan, other than as permitted
by the Code or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, such act shall be treated as an
automatic withdrawal under Section 10.



SECTION 13. RECAPITALIZATION, ETC.




     (a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, other than a Corporate Transaction in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation, the number and kind of shares of stock or securities of
the Company to be subject to the Plan, the maximum number of shares or securities that may be
delivered under the Plan, and the selling price and other relevant provisions of the Plan will be
appropriately adjusted by the Committee or the Board. If the Company is a party to a Corporate
Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, the Committee may take such
actions with respect to the Plan as the Committee deems appropriate. Any adjustments under this
Section 13(a) will be made in accordance with the requirements of sections 423 and 409A of the
Code.



     (b) The Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any way the Company’s right to
undertake a dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or other reorganization.



SECTION 14. LIMITATION ON STOCK OWNERSHIP.




     (a) Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall be granted a right
to purchase Stock under the Plan if such Participant, immediately after his or her election to
purchase such Stock, would own stock possessing more than 5% of the total combined voting power or
value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of this
Section 14(a), the following rules shall apply:




     (i) Ownership of stock shall be determined after applying the attribution rules of
section 424(d) of the Code; and



6









 






     (ii) Each Participant shall be deemed to own any stock that he or she has a right or
option to purchase under this or any other plan.



     (b) Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase Stock with
a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000 per calendar year (under this Plan and all other employee
stock purchase plans of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company). For purposes of this Section
14(b), the Fair Market Value of Stock shall be determined in each case as of the beginning of the
Offering Period in which such Stock is purchased. Employee stock purchase plans not described in
section 423 of the Code shall be disregarded.



SECTION 15. NO RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE.




     Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any person the right to remain in the employ of
a Participating Company. Each Participating Company reserves the right to terminate the employment
of any person at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.



SECTION 16. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER; SECURITIES LAWS.




     (a) A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares he or she
may have a right to purchase under the Plan until the date such shares are actually purchased for
the Participant’s account on the last day of the applicable Offering Period, subject to the
stockholders’ approval of the adoption of the Plan.



     (b) Shares of Stock shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of
such shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without
limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or
other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded.



SECTION 17. USE OF FUNDS.




     All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the
Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll
deductions in separate accounts.



SECTION 18. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.




     The Board or the Committee shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any
time without notice, including, without limitation the terms of any offering under the Plan. The
Administrator shall have the right to amend the Plan to comply with applicable rules and
regulations or to facilitate the administration of the Plan provided that such amendment does not
materially increase the cost of the Plan. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to shareholder
approval only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules.

SECTION 19. GOVERNING LAW.




     The Plan and any actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state of Texas (without regard to applicable Delaware principles of
conflict of laws).



SECTION 20. EXECUTION.




     To record the adoption of the Plan by the Board on February 8, 2008, the Company has caused
its duly authorized officer to execute this document in the name of the Company.
