TEAMSTAFF,INC. 2000 DIRECTOR PLAN OPTION NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONAGREEMENT

Company already owned by the optionee for at least six months prior to the date of exercise, which Common Stock shall be valued at fair market value on the date of exercise; or (iii) by a combination of the methods of payment specified in (i) and (ii) above.

For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value per share of Stock shall be: (i) if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System ("NMS"), the per share closing price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange on which they are listed or on NMS, as the case may be, on the date of exercise (or if there is no closing price for such date of exercise, then the last preceding business day on which there was a closing price); or (ii) if the Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and quotations are published on the NASDAQ quotation system (but not on NMS), the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise as reported by NASDAQ (or if there are no closing bid prices for such date of exercise, then the last preceding business day on which there was a closing bid price); or (iii) if the Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market but bid quotations are not published on NASDAQ, the closing bid price per share for the Common Stock as furnished by a broker-dealer which regularly furnishes price quotations for the Common Stock.

If notice of the exercise of this option is given by a person or persons other than you, the Company may require, as a condition to the exercise of this option, the submission to the Company of appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise this option.

5.    Issuance of Shares

Certificate for shares of the Common Stock so purchased will be issued as soon as practicable. The Company, however, shall not be required to issue or deliver a certificate for any shares until it has complied with all requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any stock exchange on which the Company's Common Stock may then be listed and all applicable state laws in connection with the issuance or sale of such shares or the listing of such shares on said exchange.

6.    No Rights as Shareholder

Until the date that the conditions to exercise are, in the Company's sole determination, satisfied, you (or such other person as may be entitled to exercise this option) shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Common Stock upon exercise of this option.

7.    Termination of Directorship and Options

Nothing in this option agreement shall entitle you to continue to serve as a director. If your service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company is terminated for any reason other than by death or retirement, this option shall lapse and expire the earlier of seven months from the date such termination or the Expiration Date; provided, however, in the event that the directorship is terminated prior to the date that the option may be first exercised as set forth in Section 3 hereof, the option shall be exercisable commencing on the date of termination until a date which is seven months after termination.

8.    Acceleration of Options

Notwithstanding any contrary installment period with respect to this option and unless the Board of Directors determine other wise, this outstanding option shall become exercisable in full for the aggregate number of shares covered thereby in the event: (i) the Board of Directors (or, if approval of the stockholders is required as a matter of law, the stockholders of the Company) shall approve (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, or (b) 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 (c) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (ii) any person (as such term is defined in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), corporation or other entity (other than the Company or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Subsidiary) (a) shall purchase any Common Stock (or securities convertible into the Company's Common Stock) for cash, securities or any other consideration pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer, without the prior consent of the Board of Directors, or (b) shall become the "beneficial owner" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of Directors (calculated as provided in paragraph (d) of such Rule 13(d)(3) in the case of rights to acquire the Company's Securities); or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years or less, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute 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 a majority of the directors then still in office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the acceleration of this option, either alone or together with other payments which the holder has the right to receive from the Company, would constitute an "excess parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G of the Code , such acceleration shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of the acceleration under this Section 8 being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

9.    Death

If you die while serving as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, any option which was exercisable by you at the date of your death may be exercised by your legatee or legatees under your Will, or by your personal representatives or distributees, within one year from the date of your death, but in no event after the Expiration Date.

10.    Non-Transferability of Option

This option shall not be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during your lifetime only by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any proposed transfer shall be subject to the Internal Revenue Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the federal securities laws and regulations.

11.    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization

If at any time after the date of grant of this option, the Company shall, by stock dividend, split-up, combination, reclassification or exchange, or through merger or consolidation, or otherwise, change its shares of Common Stock into a different number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property, then the number of shares covered by this option and the price of each such share shall be proportionately adjusted for any such change by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive. Any fraction of a share resulting from any adjustment shall be eliminated through the payment of cash based upon the fair market value (determined in accordance with the definition in Section 4) of the Common Stock.

13.    Withholding

The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require an Optionee to remit to the Company as a condition precedent for the fulfillment of any Option Exercise, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the exercise of Options. Whenever Shares are to be issued or cash paid to a Optionee upon exercise of an Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to the Company, as a condition of exercise of the Option, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements at the time of exercise.
