Authorized Shares

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the total number of shares of stock that the Company has authority to issue is 265,000,000 shares, consisting of 260,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue Preferred Stock in one or more series, with such voting powers, or without voting powers, and with such designations, preferences, rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon as the Board of Directors may determine, and as are not stated and expressed in the Certificate of Incorporation, or any amendment thereto, which could affect the relative voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock.

Voting Rights

Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter voted on by stockholders. Under Section 5 of Article II of the Company’s By-Laws, except where other provision is made by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the By-Laws, all matters shall be decided by the vote of a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on that matter. Except as provided in Section 5 of Article III of the Company’s By-Laws or as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, each director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, provided that if on the record date for such meeting or the advance notice date for nominations at such meeting, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effects of the Preferred Stock

Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws summarized in the paragraphs above and in the following paragraphs may have an anti-takeover effect. In other words, they could delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interests, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by such stockholder.

Certain Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws
Under the By-Laws, a special meeting of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may only be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or by order of the Board of Directors.
The By-Laws sets forth advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors.
Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has the ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock which make it possible for the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of the Company. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of the Company.
Certain Provisions of Delaware Law
The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits persons deemed “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly-held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock and a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Company’s Board of Directors, such as discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.Document

All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Participants, and all persons deriving their rights from a Participant.

Except arising from any action taken, or failure to act, in bad faith, each member of the Committee, or of the Board of Directors, shall be indemnified and held harmless by RHI against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any agreement under the Plan, and (ii) from any and all amounts 

EXHIBIT 10.13

paid by him or her, with RHI’s prior approval, in settlement thereof or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall have given RHI a reasonable opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under RHI’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that RHI may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
SECTION 4.   ELIGIBILITY.
(a)        General Rule.  Only Eligible Participants may be granted Awards. In addition, only individuals who are employed as common-law employees by the Company may be granted ISOs. 
(b)       Limitation on Awards.  In any fiscal year of RHI, no individual shall receive Awards covering in excess of 2,000,000 Shares in the aggregate; provided, however, that Outside Directors may only receive Awards covering up to 15,000 Shares in the aggregate per Outside Director in any fiscal year of RHI.  The limitations under this Subsection shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Plan.
SECTION 5.   STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
(a)        Basic Limitation.  Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.  The maximum aggregate number of Shares subject to awards granted under the Plan that may be issued shall not exceed a total of 5,000,000 Shares, of which approximately 3,945,882 Shares remained available for grant as of the Effective Date. These limits shall be subject to the provisions of the next Subsection and shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Plan.  No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan.
(b)       Additional Shares.  If, on or after May 22, 2019, Restricted Shares are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If, on or after May 22, 2019, Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any reason before being exercised, then the corresponding Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan.  If Stock Units are settled, then such Stock Units shall be counted in full against the number of Shares available for Awards regardless of the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units.  If SARs are exercised, then such SARs shall be counted in full against the number of Shares available for Awards regardless of the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs.  In the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from an Award other than an Option or SAR are satisfied on or after May 22, 2019 by the withholding of Shares by the Company, then the Shares so withheld shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. In the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from an Option or SAR are satisfied by the withholding of Shares by the Company, then the Shares so withheld shall not be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan. In addition, Shares that are exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Option or SAR shall not be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan and Shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an Option exercise shall not again be made available for issuance under the Plan.
SECTION 6.   RESTRICTED SHARES AND PERFORMANCE SHARES.
(a)        Restricted Share Award.  Each grant of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Share Award between the recipient and RHI.  Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan, including those specified in any Other 

EXHIBIT 10.13

Agreement.  The provisions of the various Restricted Share Awards entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b)       Payment for Awards.  Subject to the following sentence and applicable law, Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, past services, future services, any tangible or intangible property, or any benefit to RHI, or any combination thereof.  To the extent that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents, past services rendered to the Company, any tangible or intangible property, any benefit to RHI, or any combination thereof, as the Committee may determine.  To the extent an Award of Restricted Shares consists solely of treasury shares, the Award recipient shall furnish consideration in accordance with Section 153(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
(c)        Vesting.  Each Award of Restricted Shares shall be subject to a Vesting Schedule. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Share Award or as specified in any Other Agreement.  Unless the Restricted Share Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, each grant of Restricted Shares shall Vest with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by the grant on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated on the applicable Vesting date.  For grants made after the Effective Date, the Vesting Schedule on the date of grant shall provide that no portion of a grant of Restricted Shares shall vest prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, except that Awards covering Shares not in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate Shares authorized for grant under the Plan pursuant to Section 5(a) may contain a Vesting Schedule on the date of grant that provides for the vesting of some or all of the Shares subject to such Award prior to the first anniversary of the grant date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Restricted Share Award may provide for accelerated Vesting in the event of the Participant’s Protiviti Retirement, Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, death or total and permanent disability, a Change in Control, or, if specified at the time of grant, termination of employment, including as provided in any Other Agreement.  To the extent that an Award of Restricted Shares has not Vested prior to, or concurrently with, termination of a Participant’s Service, such Award shall immediately terminate.
(d)       Voting and Dividend Rights.  The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as RHI’s other stockholders except as provided in Sections 6(f) and 12 hereof.  
(e)        Assignment or Transfer of Restricted Shares.  Except as provided herein, or in a Restricted Share Award, or as required by applicable law, Restricted Shares shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law until such shares have satisfied any applicable Vesting Schedule and Performance Conditions. Any act in violation of this Subsection shall be void.  However, this Subsection shall not preclude a Participant from designating a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding Restricted Shares in the event of the Participant’s death, nor shall it preclude a transfer of Restricted Shares by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
(f)        Dividends on Restricted Shares that Have Not Vested. Dividends may not be paid with respect to any portion of a Restricted Share Award that has not Vested.  Any dividends declared with respect to any portion of such a Restricted Share Award prior to the Vesting of such portion shall be accrued.  Such accrued dividends shall be paid within 30 days following Vesting, provided that any requirements of Section 12(i) have been satisfied.  If all or a portion 

EXHIBIT 10.13

of such a Restricted Share Award terminates prior to Vesting, any accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to that portion of the Award shall be forfeited.  After Vesting, dividends shall be paid as normal at the same time and to the same extent as dividends are paid on other Shares, provided that any applicable provisions of Section 12(i) have been satisfied.
(g)       Release of Restricted Shares to Participants. So long as a Restricted Share is subject to forfeiture pursuant to a Vesting Schedule or Performance Condition, it shall be retained by the Company and shall not be released to a Participant, but such a Restricted Share shall be promptly released thereafter, subject to Section 12 hereof.
SECTION 7.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
(a)        Stock Option Award.  Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Award between the Optionee and RHI.  Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan, including those specified in any Other Agreement.  The Stock Option Award shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO.  The provisions of the various Stock Option Awards entered into under the Plan need not be identical.  A Stock Option Award may not provide that a new Option will be granted automatically to the Optionee when he or she exercises a prior Option and pays the Exercise Price.
(b)       Number of Shares.  Each Stock Option Award shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Plan.  The maximum aggregate number of ISOs awarded under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares subject to the Plan under Section 5(a).  The limitation of this Subsection shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Plan.
(c)        Exercise Price.  Each Stock Option Award shall specify the Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than 100 percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.  Subject to the foregoing in this Subsection, the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion.  The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms permitted under the Plan and applicable law.
(d)       Exercisability and Term.  Each Stock Option Award shall be subject to a Vesting Schedule, which shall determine when such Option shall become exercisable.  Unless the Stock Option Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, each Option shall become exercisable with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by such Option on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated on the applicable date.  For grants made after the Effective Date, the Vesting Schedule on the date of grant shall provide that no portion of a grant of Options shall vest prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, except that Awards covering Shares not in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate Shares authorized for grant under the Plan pursuant to Section 5(a) may contain a Vesting Schedule on the date of grant that provides for the vesting of some or all of the Shares subject to such Award prior to the first anniversary of the grant date.  The term of an Option shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant unless the Stock Option Award provides for a shorter term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Option Award may provide for accelerated Vesting in the event of the Optionee’s Protiviti Retirement, Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, death or total and permanent disability, a Change in Control, or, if specified at the time of grant, termination of employment, including as provided in any Other Agreement, and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service, subject to the provisions of any Other Agreement.  Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited.  Subject to the foregoing in this Subsection, the 

EXHIBIT 10.13

Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.  
(e)        Nontransferability.  Except as set forth in a Stock Option Award, or as provided by an Other Agreement, with respect to an NSO, during an Optionee’s lifetime, his or her Option(s) shall be exercisable only by him and shall not be transferable, and in the event of an Optionee’s death, his or her Option(s) shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
(f)        Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service.  Each Stock Option Award shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance.  Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.  Unless the Stock Option Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, Options which are not Vested at the time of an Optionee’s termination of Service shall expire upon such termination, and any Vested Options shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of 90 days following such termination and the expiration of the Option’s term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if exercise of an Option during the 90-day period described in the previous sentence would subject the Optionee to liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act by reason of transactions by the Optionee prior to the Optionee’s termination of service (“Prior Transaction”), such Option shall be exercisable until the earlier of (a) its normal termination date and (b) the 30th day after the first date upon which the Optionee would not be subject to Section 16 liability by reason of the Prior Transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Optionee’s Misconduct Termination, effective as of the date notice of such termination is given by the Committee to the Optionee, all of the Optionee’s Options (whether or not Vested) shall automatically terminate and lapse, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.
(g)       Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options.  Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options.  The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee’s rights or increase the obligations under such Option.  Options may not be repriced without the approval of RHI’s stockholders.  
            (h)       Dividend Equivalents.  In no event shall dividends or dividend equivalents be provided or awarded with respect to Options. 
SECTION 8.   PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.
(a)        General Rule.  The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America, as permitted under this Section.  Payment may be made by any combination of the methods described in this Section.
(b)       Cash.  Payment may be made by cash, check, wire transfer or similar means, subject to the requirements of applicable law. 
(c)        Surrender of Stock.  Payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have been owned by the Optionee or his or her representative for such period of time required to avoid RHI’s recognition of additional compensation expense with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes as a result of the surrender or attestation of such previously owned shares.  Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan.  
(d)       Same Day Sale.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a 

EXHIBIT 10.13

securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to RHI in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and/or applicable tax withholding.
(e)        Other Forms of Payment.  To the extent that a Stock Option Award so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws (including the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware), regulations and rules.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or in any agreement under the Plan, the Committee may disallow the use of any type of payment that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, would result in adverse accounting or legal consequences to the Company or Affiliate.  
SECTION 9.   STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
(a)        SAR Award.  Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Award between the Optionee and RHI.  Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan, including those specified in any Other Agreement.  The provisions of the various SAR Awards entered into under the Plan need not be identical.  A SAR Award may not provide that a new SAR will be granted automatically to the holder thereof when he or she exercises a prior SAR.
(b)       Number of Shares.  Each SAR Award shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Plan.  
(c)        Exercise Price.  Each SAR Award shall specify the Exercise Price, which may not be less than 100 percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.  A SAR Award may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding.
(d)       Exercisability and Term.  Each SAR Award shall be subject to a Vesting Schedule, which shall determine when such SAR shall become exercisable.  Unless the SAR Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, each SAR shall become exercisable with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by such SAR on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated on the applicable date.  For grants made after the Effective Date,  the Vesting Schedule on the date of grant shall provide that no portion of a grant of SARs shall vest prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, except that Awards covering Shares not in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate Shares authorized for grant under the Plan pursuant to Section 5(a) may contain a Vesting Schedule on the date of grant that provides for the vesting of some or all of the Shares subject to such Award prior to the first anniversary of the grant date.  The term of the SAR shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant unless the SAR Award provides for a shorter term.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a SAR Award may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s Protiviti Retirement, Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, death or total and permanent disability, a Change in Control, or, if specified at the time of grant, termination of employment, including as provided in any Other Agreement, and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service, subject to the provisions of any Other Agreement.  SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited.  A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter.  A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.
(e)        Exercise of SARs.  The SAR Award may provide that, upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from RHI (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash.  Unless otherwise 

EXHIBIT 10.13

provided in the SAR Award or an Other Agreement, upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive Shares from RHI, along with cash in lieu of any fractional Share.  The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.  Unless the SAR Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, SARs which have not Vested at the time of an Optionee’s termination of Service shall expire upon such termination, and any Vested SARs which have not been exercised shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of 90 days following such termination and the expiration of the SAR’s term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if exercise of a SAR during the 90-day period described in the previous sentence would subject the Participant to liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act by reason of transactions by the Participant prior to the Participant’s termination of Service, such SAR shall be exercisable until the earliest of (a) its normal termination date and (b) the 30th day after the first date upon which the Participant would not be subject to Section 16 liability by reason of the prior transactions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Optionee’s Misconduct Termination, effective as of the date notice of such termination is given by the Committee to the Optionee, all of the Optionee’s SARs (whether or not Vested) shall automatically terminate and lapse, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.
(f)        Nontransferability.  Except as set forth in a SAR Award, during an Optionee’s lifetime, his or her SARs shall be exercisable only by him and shall not be transferable, and in the event of an Optionee’s death, his or her SARs shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
(g)       Modification or Assumption of SARs.  Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding SARs.  The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee’s rights or increase the obligations under such SAR.  SARs may not be repriced without the approval of RHI’s stockholders.
            (h)       Dividend Equivalents.  In no event shall dividend or dividend equivalents be provided or awarded with respect to SARs. 
SECTION 10. STOCK UNITS AND PERFORMANCE UNITS.
(a)        Stock Unit Award.  Each grant of Stock Units or Performance Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Award between the recipient and RHI.  Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan, including those specified in any Other Agreement.  The provisions of the various Stock Unit Awards entered into under the Plan need not be identical.  
(b)       Payment for Awards.  To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.
(c)        Vesting Conditions.  Each Award of Stock Units shall be subject to a Vesting Schedule. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Award or as specified in any Other Agreement.  Unless the Stock Unit Award or an Other Agreement provides otherwise, each grant of Stock Units shall become exercisable with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares covered by the grant on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated on the applicable date.  For grants made after the Effective Date, the Vesting Schedule on the date of grant shall provide that no portion of a grant of Stock Units shall vest prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, except that Awards covering Shares not in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate Shares authorized for grant under the Plan pursuant 

EXHIBIT 10.13

to Section 5(a) may contain a Vesting Schedule on the date of grant that provides for the vesting of some or all of the Shares subject to such Award prior to the first anniversary of the grant date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Unit Award may provide for accelerated Vesting in the event of the Participant’s Protiviti Retirement, Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, death or total and permanent disability, a Change in Control, or, if specified at the time of grant, termination of employment, including as provided in any Other Agreement.  To the extent that an Award of Stock Units has not Vested prior to, or concurrently with, termination of a Participant’s Service, such Award shall immediately terminate.
(d)       Voting and Dividend Rights.  The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights or rights to receive dividends.  Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents.  Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding.  Dividend equivalents may not be converted into additional Stock Units.  Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made only in the form of cash.  Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall accrue and be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach.  Therefore, dividend equivalents may not be paid with respect to any Stock Unit that has not Vested.  If any Stock Units terminate prior to Vesting, any accrued and unpaid dividend equivalents with respect to that portion of the Award shall be forfeited.  After Vesting and settlement in Shares, dividends shall be paid on such Shares received in settlement of the Stock Units as normal at the same time and to the same extent as dividends are paid on other Shares, provided that any applicable provisions of Section 12(i) have been satisfied.
(e)        Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units.  Settlement of Vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee.  Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days.  Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments.  The distribution may occur or commence when all Vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred, in accordance with applicable law, to any later date.  The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents.  Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Plan.
(f)        Death of Recipient.  Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries.  Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with RHI.  A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with RHI at any time before the Award recipient’s death.  If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate.
(g)       Creditors’ Rights.  A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of RHI.  Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of RHI, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Award.
(h)       Assignment or Transfer of Stock Units.  Except as provided herein, or in a Stock Unit Award, or as required by applicable law, Stock Units shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law.  Any act in violation of this Subsection shall be void.  However, this Subsection shall not preclude a Participant from designating a beneficiary 

EXHIBIT 10.13

who will receive any outstanding Stock Units in the event of the Participant’s death, nor shall it preclude a transfer of Stock Units by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
SECTION 11. NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER
A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for any Shares covered by such award.  No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in the adjustment provisions of the Plan.
SECTION 12. PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS.
(a)        Any Award may be made subject to one or more Performance Conditions in addition to the Vesting Schedule imposed upon such grant.  Nothing in this Section 12(a) shall override the minimum one-year vesting requirement as set forth in Sections 6(c), 7(d), 9(d) and 10(c).   
(b)       The determination as to whether any such grant is subject to a Performance Condition shall be made on or prior to the date of grant.
(c)        The Performance Condition shall operate as specified in this Section 12.
(d)       If an Award is made subject to one or more Performance Conditions, the Committee shall establish the Performance Period, Adjustment Provisions and Performance Goals for such Performance Conditions. In addition, the Compensation Committee shall determine how any forfeitures occurring as a result of a Performance Condition shall be allocated with respect to the Vesting Schedule of the Award.
(e)        After the completion of the Performance Period relating to a Performance Condition, the Chief Financial Officer shall, with respect to each Award made subject to such Performance Condition, calculate the effect of the Adjustment Provisions on the Award and deliver such calculation to the Committee or its delegate.  If the Committee has delegated its authority to certify the level of achievement with respect to the Performance Conditions, including the impact of the Adjustment Provisions, references to the “Committee” in this Section 12 shall mean such delegate.
(f)        The Committee shall review the information submitted by the Chief Financial Officer and certify, in writing, its determination with respect to the impact of the Adjustment Provisions on the Award and the Final Award.
(g)       If a portion of an Award made subject to a Performance Condition shall Vest prior to the satisfaction of any Performance Condition applicable to such portion by reason of death, Total and Permanent Disability or, if applicable, a Change in Control, then the Performance Condition shall be cancelled and none of such Award shall be subject to reduction or forfeiture as provided by the Performance Condition. Such Award shall be treated in accordance with the terms of this Plan relating to Vested shares.
(h)       If a portion of an Award made subject to a Performance Condition shall satisfy a Vesting Schedule prior to the satisfaction of any Performance Condition applicable to such portion for any reason other than death, Total and Permanent Disability or a Change in Control, such portion of the Award shall not be released to or exercised by the Participant until after the Certification Date. No such satisfaction of a Vesting Schedule shall in any way be deemed a satisfaction, waiver or cancellation of the Performance Condition, and such portion shall remain subject to reduction and forfeiture as provided by the Performance Condition.
(i)        Dividends or dividend equivalents may not be paid with respect to any Share subject to a Performance Condition until the Final Award with respect to such Share has been determined.  Any dividends or dividend equivalents declared on any Shares prior to such determination shall be accrued.  After determination of the Final Award, such accrued dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid, subject to Section 6(f) hereof; provided, however, that if the Final Award is less than the Original Award, any accrued dividends or dividend equivalents 

EXHIBIT 10.13

attributable to the portion of the Award that has been forfeited shall also be forfeited. After determination of the Final Award has been made and Section 6(f) has been satisfied, dividends shall be paid as normal on such Shares at the same time and to the same extent as dividends are paid on other Shares.
SECTION 13. TERMINATION OF SERVICE; LEAVES OF ABSENCE.
Subject to the last sentence of this Section 13, a Participant’s Service shall terminate when such person ceases to be an Eligible Participant as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.  A Participant’s Service does not terminate if he or she is a common-law employee and goes on a bona fide leave of absence of less than six (6) consecutive months that was approved by the Company in writing and the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law.  However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, a common-law employee’s Service will be treated as terminating three (3) months after such employee went on leave, unless such employee’s right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract.  Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such employee immediately returns to active work.  The Committee determines which leaves count toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Outside Director’s Service shall terminate when he or she is neither a member of the Board of Directors nor a Consultant to RHI.
SECTION 14. DEATH; TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY.
All Awards granted to any Participant shall Vest upon such Participant’s death or termination of the Participant’s Service due to Total and Permanent Disability. 
SECTION 15. PERSONS SUBJECT TO SECTION 16 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.
Any Award held by an individual who is an Outside Director on both of (a) the grant date of such Award and (b) the effective date of a Change in Control, shall Vest upon the effective date of such Change in Control.  Any Option or SAR Award held by an individual who is a Section 16 Participant at either or both of (a) the grant date of such Award or (b) the effective date of such individual’s Outside Director Retirement, Protiviti Retirement or Staffing/Headquarters Retirement, as the case may be, shall Vest upon the effective date of such retirement.  Any Options or SARs held by a Section 16 Participant which Vest by reason of the provisions of this Section 15 or by reason of death or Total and Permanent Disability shall remain outstanding until the earlier of its exercise or its original term.
SECTION 16. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
(a)        Adjustments.  In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, or stock split or reverse stock split, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, liquidation, a spin-off, exchange of shares or a similar transaction without the receipt of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall make such equitable adjustments as it deems appropriate in one or more of:
(i)        The number of Shares, Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units available for future Awards under the Plan;
(ii)       The per person per fiscal year limitations on Awards under the Plan and the maximum aggregate number of ISOs that may be awarded under the Plan;
(iii)      The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award;
(iv)      The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or
(v)       The number of Stock Units included in any prior Award which has not yet been settled.

EXHIBIT 10.13

Except as provided in this Section, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by RHI of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or SARs or cancel outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or SARs without stockholder approval.
(b)       Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of RHI.
(c)        Reorganizations. In the event that RHI is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement setting forth the terms of such reorganization.  Such agreement may provide for:
(i)        The continuation of the outstanding Awards by RHI, if RHI is a surviving corporation;
(ii)       The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary;
(iii)      The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;
(iv)      Full exercisability or Vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards; or
(v)       Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards.
Nothing in this Section 16(c) shall obligate the Company, the Board or the Committee to treat all outstanding Awards in the same manner or to take any of the actions listed above with respect to any or all outstanding Awards.
(d)       Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.  Any issue by RHI of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Exercise Price.  The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of RHI to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
SECTION 17. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.
RHI may grant awards under other plans or programs, so long as the terms and conditions are not in conflict with the terms of this Plan.  Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan.  Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under the Plan.
SECTION 18. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

EXHIBIT 10.13

No Option may be exercised and no Stock may be issued or transferred pursuant to an award unless the Committee shall determine that such exercise, issuance or transfer complies with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, applicable state securities laws, and rules and regulations promulgated under each of the foregoing, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Stock may then be listed or quotation system upon which the Stock may be quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for RHI with respect to such compliance.  If the Stock subject to this Plan is not registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws, the Committee may require that the Participant deliver to RHI such documents as counsel for RHI may determine are necessary or advisable in order to substantiate compliance with applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  In no event shall RHI deliver, or be deemed obligated to deliver, cash in lieu of any Share by reason of any failure to satisfy the foregoing provisions.
So long as any restrictions or obligations imposed pursuant to this Plan shall apply to a Share, each certificate evidencing such Share shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions.  In addition, RHI may instruct its transfer agent that shares of Stock evidenced by such certificates may not be transferred without the written consent of RHI.  Any attempt to dispose of such shares of Stock in contravention of such terms, conditions and restrictions shall be invalid.  Certificates representing shares that have not Vested or with respect to which minimum withholding taxes have not been paid will be held in custody by RHI or such bank or other institution designated by the Committee.  
SECTION 19. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
(a)        General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to RHI for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan.  RHI shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.  In the event that such withholding taxes are not paid on a timely basis, as determined by RHI in its sole discretion, to the extent permitted by law RHI shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause such withholding taxes to be satisfied by reducing the number of Shares or cash (if applicable) deliverable or by offsetting such withholding taxes against amounts otherwise due from the Company to the Participant.  If withholding taxes are paid by reduction of the number of Shares deliverable to Optionee, such shares shall be valued at the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise.
(b)       Share Withholding. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Participant may satisfy all or part of his or her minimum withholding or income tax obligations by having RHI withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired.  Subject to applicable law and accounting considerations, such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash.
