                              RESTRICTIVE COVENANT

6.1 In the event of the voluntary termination of employment with the Company
prior to the expiration of the term hereof, or Employee's discharge in
accordance with Article VIII, or the expiration of the term hereof without
renewal, Employee agrees that he will not, for a period of one (1) year
following such termination (or expiration, as the case may be) directly or
indirectly enter into or become associated with or engage in any other business
(whether as a partner, officer, director, shareholder, employee, consultant, or
otherwise), which business is located in the States
<PAGE>   5
of Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Texas or any other state the Company is
operating in and is involved in the professional employer organization business,
or is otherwise engaged in the same or similar business as the Company shall be
engaged and is in direct competition with the Company, or which the Company is
in the process of developing, during the tenure of Employee's employment by the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ownership by Employee of less than 5
percent of the shares of any publicly held corporation shall not violate the
provisions of this Article VI.

6.2 In furtherance of the foregoing, Employee shall not during the aforesaid
period of non-competition, directly or indirectly, in connection with any
computerized payroll, employee leasing, or permanent or temporary personnel
business, or any business similar to the business in which the Company was
engaged, or in the process of developing during Employee's tenure with the
Company, solicit any customer or employee of the Company who was a customer or
employee of the Company during the tenure of his employment.

6.3 If any court shall hold that the duration of non-competition or any other
restriction contained in this Article is unenforceable, it is our intention that
same shall not thereby be terminated but shall be deemed amended to delete
therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable
or, in the alternative, such judicially substituted term may be substituted
therefor.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                      TERM

for herein (the "Expiration Date").

the Company agrees to notify Employee in writing whether it intends to negotiate
a renewal of this Agreement
<PAGE>   6
by notice six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             DISABILITY DURING TERM

8.1 In the event Employee becomes totally disabled so that he is unable or
prevented from performing any one or all of his usual duties hereunder for a
period of four (4) consecutive months, and the Company elects to terminate this
agreement in accordance with Article IX, paragraph (B) then, and in that event,
Employee shall receive his Base Salary as provided under Article III of this
Agreement for a period of six (6) months commencing from the date of such total
disability or the balance of the original term of this agreement, whichever is
greater. The obligation of the Company to make the aforesaid payments shall be
modified and reduced and the Company shall receive a credit for all disability
insurance payments which Employee may receive from insurance policies provided
by the Company.

                                   ARTICLE IX

Employee's legal representatives, successors, assigns, and heirs shall have
those rights and interests as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including
the right to receive accrued but unpaid incentive compensation and special bonus
compensation on a pro rata basis.

         b. Subject to the terms of Article VIII, upon written notice from the
Company to the Employee, if Employee becomes totally disabled and as a result of
such total disability, has been prevented from and unable to perform all of his
duties hereunder for a consecutive period of four (4) months.

           c. Upon written notice from the Company to the Employee, at any time
for "Cause." For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall be defined as:
willful disobedience by the

<PAGE>   7
Employee of a material and lawful instruction of the President & CEO of
TeamStaff or the President of the PEO Division; conviction of the Employee of
any misdemeanor involving fraud or embezzlement or similar crime, or any felony;
breach by the Employee of any material provision of this Agreement; or conduct
amounting to fraud, dishonesty, negligence, willful misconduct, recurring
insubordination, inattention to or unsatisfactory performance of duties which
adversely affects operations of the Company, or excessive absences from work,
provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate the employment
of Employee pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) above unless written
notice specifying such breach shall have been given to the Employee and, in the
case of breach which is capable of being cured, the Employee shall have failed
to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after his receipt of such notice.

9.2 In the event of the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of
Employee by the Company in breach and violation of this Agreement, Employee
shall not be obligated to mitigate damages by seeking or obtaining alternate
employment.

                                    ARTICLE X

                         TERMINATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS

and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties, whether oral or written
prior to the effective date of this Agreement.

         10.2 Employee represents and warrants that he is subject to no
contractual restriction, restrictive covenant, or like agreement or restriction
which would conflict with any of the terms of this agreement, or the performance
of his duties contemplated by this agreement. Employee further agrees to
indemnify and defend the Company from any and all claims or liabilities arising
out of a breach of the representation and warranty contained in this
subparagraph 10.2.

                                  STOCK OPTIONS

11.1 As an inducement to Employee to enter into this Agreement the Company
hereby grants to Employee options to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock, $.001 par value, as follows:

         Subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's Senior Management
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), and the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock
Option Certificate which are incorporated herein by reference, the Employee is
hereby granted options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,

foregoing options shall be qualified as incentive stock options to the maximum

                                   ARTICLE XII

                           EXTRAORDINARY TRANSACTIONS

12.1 The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is appropriate to
reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the
Company's management, including the Employee, to their assigned duties without
distraction in potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility
of a change in control of the Company. A "Change in Control" of the Company
shall be deemed to have occurred if there shall be consummated (i)(x) any
consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the
continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company's
Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other
than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company's Common Stock
immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common
stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, or (y) any
sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the
Company, or (ii) the stockholders of the Company approved any plan or proposal
for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) any person (as such
term is used in Sections 13(d) and l3(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
l934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), shall become the beneficial owner
(within the meaning of Rule l3d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock, except in connection with a transaction
approved by the Board of Directors; or (iv) during any period of two consecutive
years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the entire
Board of Directors shall cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof
unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company's
stockholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the
period.

12.2 The Company agrees that, if during the term hereof, or during such time as
the
<PAGE>   10
Employee is otherwise employed by the Company, a Change in Control shall occur,
all options to purchase Common Stock of the Company held by Employee, either
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall immediately vest and become
exercisable on the first day following a Change in Control. Further, the options
shall be deemed amended to provide that in the event of termination after an
event enumerated in this Article X, the options shall remain exercisable for the
duration of their term; and further, at the Employee's option, an amount equal
to three times the aggregate annual compensation paid to the Employee during the
calendar year preceding the Change in Control shall be credited against the
exercise price of any options held by Employee at the time Employee elects to
exercise such options; provided, however, that if the lump sum severance payment
under this Article XI, either alone or together with other payments which the
Employee has the right to receive from the Company, would constitute a
"parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of
l954, as amended (the "Code")), such credit shall be reduced to the largest
amount as will result in no portion of the credit under this Article XI being
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                         ARBITRATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

13.1 Any dispute arising out of the interpretation, application, and/or
performance of this Agreement with the sole exception of any claim, breach, or
violation arising under Articles V or VI hereof shall be settled through final
and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in the State of New Jersey in
accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator shall be selected by the Association and shall be an attorney-at-law
experienced in the field of corporate law. Any judgment upon any arbitration
award may be entered in any court, federal or state, having competent
jurisdiction of the parties.

13.2 The Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
Employee for any
<PAGE>   11
and all claims arising from or related to his employment by the Company at any
time asserted, at any place asserted, and to the fullest extent permitted by
law. The Company shall maintain such insurance as is necessary and reasonable to
protect the Employee from any and all claims arising from or in connection with
his employment by the Company, provided such insurance can be obtained without
unreasonable effort and expense.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                                  SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid and unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If any
