This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of this
14th day of April, 2003, by and between ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ ("Executive") and
Personnel Group of America, Inc. (the "Company").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive,
and Executive desires to continue such employment, under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and
the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company hereby continues to employ Executive,
and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment, as President and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company under the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
2. Duties. During the Term (as defined below), Executive shall
use his best efforts, skill and ability to perform the duties and services
customarily incident to such offices and position and such other services as may
be assigned to him from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer or Board of
Directors (the "Board") of the Company. Executive shall (i) devote his full
business time, attention and energies to the business of the Company and (ii)
faithfully and competently serve the Company and perform his duties and
responsibilities hereunder, provided, however that Executive may engage in other
activities, such as activities involving professional, charitable, educational,
religious and similar types of organizations, speaking engagements, memberships
on the boards of directors of other organizations (as the Board may from time to
time agree to, it being understood that the Board shall be deemed to have agreed
to any memberships on boards of directors of other organizations existing on the
date hereof and disclosed to the Company), and similar types of activities to
the extent that such other activities do not inhibit or prohibit the performance
of Executive's duties under this Agreement, or conflict in any material way with
the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
3. Compensation and Related Matters. As full compensation for
Executive's performance of his duties and services hereunder during the Term,
the Company shall pay Executive the compensation and provide the benefits set
forth below:
a. Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive an
annual salary of $300,000 ("Base Salary"), less applicable withholding and other
deductions, payable in accordance with the Company's then current payroll
practices.
b. Performance Bonus. In addition to the compensation
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to
receive an annual performance bonus (the "Bonus"), determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") for each
fiscal year during the Term equal to 30% of Base Salary at "Target" award levels
(as defined below) and up to 90% of Base Salary at "Maximum" award levels (as
defined below). Any Bonus awarded under this Agreement to Executive shall be
determined as follows: (i) 70% of the Bonus (the "EBITDA Bonus Award") shall be
based upon the achievement of the Target EBITDA (as defined below) for such year
and (ii) 30% of the Bonus (the "Discretionary Bonus Award") shall be awarded on
the basis of other criteria, as determined by the Compensation Committee, in its
sole discretion.
For purposes of determining Executive's Bonus, "Target" shall
mean (i) with respect to the EBITDA Bonus Award, achievement of the annual
target earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the
Company ("Target EBITDA") established by the Compensation Committee in its sole
discretion, and (ii) with respect to the Discretionary Bonus Award, achievement
of other criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole
discretion. For the purposes of determining Executive's Bonus, "Maximum" shall
mean (i) with respect to the EBITDA Bonus Award, 140% of Target EBITDA, and (ii)
with respect to the Discretionary Bonus Award, achievement of other criteria as
determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
In addition, with respect to the EBITDA Bonus Award, Executive
shall be entitled to earn an EBITDA Bonus Award if the Company achieves at least
90% of Target EBITDA; provided, that Executive shall not be entitled to any
EBITDA Bonus Award unless the Company achieves at least 90% of Target EBITDA. If
the Company achieves between (and including) 90% of Target EBITDA and 100% of
Target EBITDA, Executive shall be entitled to an EBITDA Bonus Award equal to
1.909% (70% of 2.727%) of Executive's Base Salary for each 1% above 89% of
Target EBITDA that is achieved. For example, if 92% of Target EBITDA is
achieved, Executive shall be entitled to an EBITDA Bonus Award equal to 5.727%
of Base Salary, calculated as follows:
Total Bonus potential sharing above 89% per point 2.727%
EBITDA Bonus Award percentage of Total Bonus X 70%
-----
EBITDA Bonus Award per point over 89% of Target 1.909%
Points over 89% of Target EBITDA X 3
-----
EBITDA Bonus Award at 92% of Target 5.727%
=====
If more than 100% but less than 140% of Target EBITDA is
achieved, Executive shall be entitled to an EBITDA Bonus Award equal to (i) 21%
of Base Salary, plus (ii) 1.05% (70% of 1.5%) of Executive's Base Salary for
each 1% above 100% of Target EBITDA that is achieved. In no event shall the
total amount of EBITDA Bonus Award exceed 63% of Executive's Base Salary.
-2-
For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2003, the Target EBITDA
shall be set at $20.7 million. For the remaining Term, the Target EBITDA for any
fiscal year shall be set during the first quarter of that year by the
Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
c. Stock Options. Executive shall be eligible to be
granted stock options pursuant to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan of Personnel
Group of America, Inc. (the "2003 Equity Plan") during the Term. The Company
hereby agrees that on the Effective Date, Executive shall be granted a stock
option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an
exercise price of $0.3121 per share and a stock option to purchase 985,000
shares of the Company's common stock for an exercise price of $0.4681 per share.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2003 Equity Plan to the contrary, the
stock options granted to Executive hereunder shall vest on a monthly basis pro
rata over four years, at the end of each month which begins after the date of
grant of the respective option, provided, that Executive is still employed by
the Company on the applicable vesting date; and provided, further, that (i) if
Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by the Company without Cause (as
defined below) prior to the first anniversary of the option grant date, then 25%
of the total number of options Executive is granted as of the Effective Date
shall become vested, and (ii) if Executive's employment hereunder is terminated
by the Company without Cause (as defined below), the exercise period with
respect to any options granted to Executive under the 2003 Equity Plan or
otherwise and then held by Executive and which are then vested shall be extended
for a period of one (1) year following the date of such termination (but in no
event beyond the original expiration date of the respective option).
d. Other Benefits. During the Term, Executive shall be
eligible to participate in the benefits that the Company generally provides to
its similarly situated senior executive employees, such as medical, life and
long-term disability insurance and retirement benefits, upon the same terms and
conditions that the Company generally makes such benefits available to its
similarly situated senior executive employees and Executive shall be entitled to
receive such other fringe benefits as may be granted to him from time to time by
the Company.
e. Vacation. During the Term, Executive shall be allowed
26 days of paid vacation per calendar year, which shall be accrued in accordance
with the Company's vacation policies.

Executive for documented reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred on

(ii) the Company's requiring Executive to be
based anywhere other than within 50 miles of where he

which notice shall identify in reasonable detail the basis therefor and be
delivered within thirty (30) days after the event or circumstances providing
such basis and the Company shall fail to cure such condition within thirty (30)

and executive bonus payment procedures, as applicable, and subject to
Executive's execution of a release, in a form satisfactory to the Compensation

Executive shall not be entitled to receive any other severance or other
compensation or payments, including any Bonus which has not been paid as of the
termination date other than the Bonus provided for in clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence, by reason of the termination of Executive's employment. The
refusal of the Company to extend the employment of Executive beyond the Initial
Term or any renewal thereof (other than for Cause, or Executive's death or
Disability) pursuant to Paragraph 5 shall be deemed a termination by the Company
without Cause for purposes of determining severance pursuant to this Paragraph
7(b). In addition, for a period of eighteen (18) months following termination of
Executive's employment, Executive and his spouse and dependents shall be
entitled to continue to be covered by all group medical insurance arrangements
in which Executive was a participant as of the date of such termination, at the
same coverage level and on the same terms and conditions which apply to then
active employees of the Company, until Executive commences a new employment or
otherwise obtains coverage under another group medical plan, which coverage does
not contain any pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations. At the
termination of the benefits coverage under the preceding sentence, Executive and
his spouse and dependents shall be entitled to continuation coverage pursuant to
Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Sections 601-608
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and under
any other applicable law, to the extent required by such laws, determined on the
basis of the date of Executive's termination of employment hereunder and
reducing the period of such continuation coverage (to the extent permitted by
such laws) by the period of coverage provided under the preceding sentence.
c. Payments in the Event of Disability. Prior to the
termination of Executive's employment pursuant to Paragraph 6(a) of this
Agreement, during any period that Executive fails to perform his full-time
duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental
illness, he shall continue to receive his Base Salary, Bonus and other benefits
provided hereunder, less the amount of any disability benefits received by
Executive during such period under any disability plan or program sponsored by
the Company (whether the premium or other cost therefor is paid by the Company
or by Executive), until Executive's employment hereunder is terminated pursuant
to Paragraph 6(a). Thereafter, Executive's benefits shall be determined under
the Company's retirement, insurance, and other compensation and benefit plans
and programs then in effect, in accordance with the terms of such programs.
d. Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change
in Control (as defined below) while Executive is still employed by the Company,
all options granted to Executive under the 2003 Equity Plan or otherwise and
then held by Executive shall become fully vested. For purposes of this
Agreement, a Change in Control shall mean the occurrence of any of the
following: (i) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into another
corporation or sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes
of all or substantially all of its assets to any person, or any corporation

pursuant to a transaction in which the outstanding voting
-6-
stock of the Company is changed into or exchanged for cash, securities or other
property, other than any such transaction where (A) the outstanding voting stock
of the Company is changed into or exchanged for (x) voting stock of the
surviving or transferee corporation or (y) cash, securities (whether or not
including voting stock) or other property, and (B) all or any holders of the
voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own, directly
or indirectly, in the aggregate not less than 50% of the voting power of the
voting stock of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction or
(ii) the Company is liquidated or dissolved or adopts a plan of liquidation;
provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not include any going private
or leveraged buy-out transaction which is sponsored by Executive or in which
Executive acquires an equity interest materially in excess of his equity
interest in the Company immediately prior to such transaction (the events
described in (i) or (ii) above being referred to herein as a "Change in
Control").
8. Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition.
a. During the Term and thereafter, Executive shall not,

affiliates, and their respective clients, customers and employees that is not
available to the general public and that was learned by Executive in the course
of his employment by the Company, including (without limitation) any proprietary
knowledge, trade secrets, data, formulae, information, client and customer
lists, information regarding other employees of the Company, and all papers,

termination of his employment for any reason whatsoever, Executive shall
promptly deliver to the Company all documents, computer tapes and disks (and all
copies thereof) containing any Confidential Information.
b. During the Term and for two (2) years thereafter,
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly in any manner or capacity (e.g., as
an advisor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, shareholder, employee,
member of any association or otherwise) engage in, work for, consult, provide
advice or assistance or otherwise participate in any activity that competes with

Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. Executive
further agrees that during such period he will not assist or encourage any other
person in carrying out any activity that would be prohibited by the foregoing
provisions of this Paragraph 8 if such activity were carried out by Executive
and, in particular, Executive agrees that he will not induce any employee of the
Company to carry out any such activity; provided, however, that the "beneficial
ownership" by Executive, either individually or as a member of a "group," as
such
-7-
terms are used in Rule 13d of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of less than 2% of the voting stock
of any publicly held corporation shall not be a violation of this Agreement. It
is further expressly agreed that the Company will or would suffer irreparable
injury if Executive were to compete with the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company in violation of this Agreement and that the Company
would by reason of such competition be entitled to injunctive relief in a court
of appropriate jurisdiction, and Executive further consents and stipulates to
the entry of such injunctive relief in such a court prohibiting Executive from
competing with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company in
violation of this Agreement.
c. During the Term and for two (2) years thereafter,
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, influence or attempt to influence
customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates,
to divert their business to any competitor of the Company.
d. Executive recognizes that he will possess
confidential information about other employees of the Company relating to their
education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and
interpersonal relationships with customers of the Company. Executive recognizes
that the information he will possess about these other employees is not
generally known, is of substantial value to the Company in developing its
business and in securing and retaining customers, and will be acquired by him
because of his business position with the Company. Executive agrees that, during
the Term, and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, he will not, directly or
indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company for the purpose of
being employed by his or by any competitor of the Company on whose behalf he is
acting as an agent, representative or employee.
e. Executive acknowledges that he was informed of the
time, territory, scope and other essential requirements of the restrictions in
this Paragraph 8 when he agreed to become employed with the Company under the
terms set forth in this Agreement, and Executive further acknowledges that he
has received sufficient and valuable consideration for his agreement to such
restrictions.
9. Waiver. The failure of a party to enforce any term, provision,
or condition of this Agreement at any time or times shall not be deemed a waiver
of that term, provision, or condition for the future, nor shall any specific
waiver of a term, provision, or condition at one time be deemed a waiver of such
term, provision, or condition for any future time or times.
10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; No Jury Trial. This Agreement
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
North Carolina without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in Mecklenburg County, State of North Carolina, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder (except as hereinafter provided). EACH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE
OR AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH
-8-
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS
WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION. If, for any reason, the foregoing jury trial waiver is
not enforceable at the time of any dispute hereunder, then such dispute shall be
resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current National
Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association. Such arbitration, if necessary, shall be convened in the City of
Charlotte, State of North Carolina. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
the Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any
court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of
the provisions of Paragraph 8 of this Agreement, and Executive consents that
such restraining order or injunction may be granted without the necessity of the
Company's posting any bond, except to the extent otherwise required by
applicable law.
11. Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local income and employment
taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.

Agreement are for reference purposes only and are in no way intended to
describe, interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this
Agreement or any provision hereof.
13. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement is intended to
be severable. If any provision of this Agreement or any portion thereof is
declared invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the remainder of such provisions and all of the
