THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (as it may be amended, this “Agreement”) is entered into on
July 29, 2010 between PRESIDENTIAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION (“Lender”), having an address at
0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, and TEAMSTAFF GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS, INC.
D/B/A TEAMSTAFF GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS; D/B/A TEAMSTAFF GOVT SOLUTIONS (“Borrower”), whose chief
executive office is located at 0 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Borrower’s
Address”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set
forth on Schedule A. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall
have the meaning provided in the UCC to the extent such terms are defined therein. The schedules
attached to this Agreement are an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by
reference.
SECTION 1. LOANS AND CREDIT ACCOMMODATIONS
1.1 Amount
Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, at Borrower’s request and provided that no
Default or Event of Default exists, Lender may, in its discretion, make Advances to Borrower during
the Term, to the extent that there is sufficient Availability at the time of such request to cover,
dollar for dollar, the requested Advance, and further provided that after giving effect to such
Advances, the outstanding balance of all monetary Obligations will not exceed the Maximum Loan
Amount. For this purpose, “Availability” means, on any date, an amount equal to:
(i) | the Eligible Accounts on such date multiplied
by the Accounts Advance Rate; |
minus
(ii) | all Reserves which Lender has established pursuant to Section 1.2
(including any to be established in connection with the requested Advance); |
minus
(iii) | the outstanding balance of all monetary
Obligations on such date. |
1.2 Reserve
Lender may from time to time in its sole and reasonable discretion establish and revise such
reserves as Lender deems appropriate (“Reserves”) to reflect (i) the amount of accrued but unpaid
interest with respect to the monetary Obligations on such date, (ii) events, conditions,
contingencies or risks which affect or may affect (A) the Collateral or its value, or the Liens and
other rights of Lender in the Collateral or (B) the assets, business of Borrower or any Obligor,
(iii) Lender’s concern that any Collateral or financial information furnished by or on behalf of
Borrower to Lender is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material
respect, (iv) any fact or circumstance which Lender determines in its sole and reasonable
discretion constitutes, or could constitute, a Default or Event of Default (v) the percentage
increase of dilution in excess of 5%, as determined by the month-end accounts receivable
aging or (vi) any other events or circumstances which Lender determines in its sole and reasonable
discretion make the establishment or revision of a Reserve prudent. Lender may, in its sole and
reasonable discretion, establish and revise Reserves by deducting them in determining Availability
or by reclassifying Eligible Accounts as ineligible. In no event shall the establishment of a
Reserve in respect of a particular actual or contingent liability obligate Lender to make Advances
hereunder to pay such liability or otherwise obligate Lender with respect thereto.

1.3 Use of Proceeds
Borrower shall be authorized to use the proceeds of the Advances solely to make expenditures for
lawful purposes of Borrower to the extent such expenditures are not prohibited by the provisions of
this Agreement or Applicable Law. Borrower represents and warrants that Lender’s loan or loans to
Borrower will be used for nonconsumer purposes and not for personal, family or household purposes.
1.4 Repayment
Principal and interest shall be paid as stated in the Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) executed
by Borrower in favor of Lender contemporaneously herewith. In addition, if at any time the amount
of monetary Obligations exceeds Availability (any such excess, an “Overadvance”), or if at any time
or for any reason the outstanding amount of Advances extended or issued pursuant hereto exceeds any
of the dollar limitations (“Overline”), Borrower will immediately pay to Lender the amount of such
Overadvance or Overline. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may, in its discretion, make or
permit the Advances or any other monetary Obligations that give rise to or constitute an
Overadvance or Overline, provided that Borrower shall, upon Lender’s demand, pay to Lender such
amounts as shall eliminate such Overadvance or Overline. All unpaid monetary Obligations shall be
due and payable in full upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2.
SECTION 2. ADVANCES TO COVER INTEREST AND FEES; FEES AND EXPENSES
2.1 Interest
Principal and interest shall be paid as stated in the Note executed by Borrower in favor of Lender
contemporaneously herewith. The parties agree that, and Borrower instructs Lender that,
immediately upon accrual of interest and other charges provided for herein and in the Note, such
interest and other charges shall be paid by Advances and charged to Borrower’s Loan Account with
Lender. Such Advances shall thereafter bear interest and be subject to other charges upon the same
terms as other Advances, and such Advances are agreed by the parties to be principal pursuant to
O.C.G.A. Section 7-4-2(A)(3). Borrower specifically agrees, by execution of this Agreement and the
Note, to this treatment of all accrued but unpaid interest and other charges hereunder and under
the Note.
2.2 Fees and Expenses
In addition to all interest and other sums payable by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement,
Borrower shall pay Lender the fees and reimbursements listed on Schedule B, which are and shall be
deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject
to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

2.3 Loan Account
Lender shall maintain a loan account in the name of Borrower, reflecting all Advances, charges,
fees, expenses and payments made pursuant to this Agreement (the “Loan Account”). Lender shall
provide Borrower with commercially reasonable electronic access to information about Borrower’s
Loan Account (the “Online Statement”); provided, however, that Lender shall not be liable to
Borrower for any damages suffered by Borrower as a result of the temporary failure or
unavailability of or the lack of updates to the Online Statement. All information posted to the
Online Statement shall be deemed to have been delivered to Borrower and, unless Borrower notifies
Lender in writing to the contrary (including a detailed description of the alleged error or
omission) within 30 days after such information is made available to Borrower, the Online Statement
shall be deemed correct, accurate and conclusively binding on Borrower as an account stated (except
for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Lender).
2.4 Expense Reimbursement
Borrower shall reimburse Lender for (i) any Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Lender and (ii) all
reasonable legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, underwriting, and other fees and expenses
suffered or incurred by Lender in connection with: (a) the negotiation and preparation of any of
the Loan Documents and any amendment or modification thereto; (b) the administration of the Loan
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; (c) action taken to perfect or maintain the
perfection or priority of any of Lender’s Liens with respect to any of the Collateral; (d) any
inspection of or audits conducted by Lender with respect to Borrower’s books and records or any of
the Collateral; or (e) any effort by Lender to verify or appraise any of the Collateral. Attorneys
fees relating to collection for which Borrower shall be responsible to reimburse Lender shall be
equal to the lesser of: (a) actual fees and expenses or (b) fifteen percent (15%) of the principal
and interest owed hereunder at the time of commencement of collection activities. All amounts
chargeable to or reimbursable by Borrowers under this Section 2.4 shall constitute Obligations
payable on demand to Lender. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to
limit, any other provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the indemnification or
reimbursement by Borrower of claims suffered or incurred by Lender
SECTION 3. SECURITY INTEREST
3.1 Grant
To secure the full and timely payment and performance of all of the Obligations, Borrower hereby
grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien upon in the following property and
interests in property of Borrower, whether tangible or intangible, now owned or in existence or
hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located: all Accounts, Accounts and Securities,
Chattel Paper, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment, Instruments, Investment Property, General
Intangibles, Deposit Accounts, Supporting Obligations, Inventory, Other Property, all Proceeds and
products of all of the foregoing (including proceeds of any insurance policies and claims against
third parties for loss or any destruction of any of the foregoing), and all books and records
relating to any of the foregoing.
3.2 Further Assurances
Borrower agrees to comply with all Applicable Laws to perfect Lender’s Lien in the Collateral and
to execute such documents as Lender may reasonably require to effectuate the foregoing and to
implement this Agreement. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to file financing statements, and
all amendments and continuations with respect thereto, in order to create, perfect or maintain its
Lien in the Collateral as a duly perfected Lien, subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens
listed on Schedule C. Borrower
hereby ratifies and confirms any and all financing statements, amendments and continuations with
respect thereto heretofore and hereafter filed by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization.

5
SECTION 4. ADVANCES AND ADMINISTRATION
4.1 Advance Requests
Whenever Borrower desires to obtain an Advance, Borrower shall give Lender notice of such borrowing
request telephonically (and confirmed in writing if requested by Lender) or by facsimile or
electronic mail transmission no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (“EST”), or, if in
effect, Daylight Savings Time (“DST”) on the Business Day of the requested borrowing, and notices
(in the form stipulated herein) received by Lender after 11:00 a.m. EST or DST, whichever is in
effect, shall be deemed received on the next Business Day and notices received other than in the
form stipulated herein shall be ineffective and deemed not received by Lender. Unless payment is
otherwise timely made by Borrower, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect
to any of the Obligations (including any interest thereon) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a
request (without any requirement for the submission of a notice of borrowing) for an Advance on the
due date of and in an aggregate amount required to pay such Obligations and the proceeds of such
Advance may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligations, provided that Lender
shall have no obligation to honor any deemed request for an Advance on or after the date on which
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.2, or when an Overadvance exists or would result
from such funding or when any applicable condition precedent is not satisfied, but Lender may do so
in its discretion and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived,
any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Advance is made after the date on
which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.2.
4.2 Remittance of Collections and Other Proceeds and Procedures
Borrower shall notify all Accounts to direct all Collections to the remittance address provided by
Lender in the Procedures Letter (the “Remittance Address”). Lender shall retain the sole discretion
to require Borrower to enter into a bank agreement or other agreement governing the remittance of
Collections, which agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender, and only Lender
shall have access to withdraw or otherwise direct the disposition of Collections. In the event
that Borrower receives any Collections or other proceeds of Collateral, Borrower shall promptly
upon receipt (and in all events within one Business Day of receipt by Borrower) remit in kind such
Collections or other proceeds of Collateral directly to the Remittance Address and promptly notify
Lender of such event. Until so forwarded, any such Collections or other proceeds of Collateral
received by Borrower shall not be commingled with Borrower’s other funds and shall be held by
Borrower, as trustee of an express trust, for Lender’s benefit. In the event any Collections are
received by Borrower but not remitted to Lender in the time and manner specified herein, the
Misdirected Payment Fee set forth on Schedule B shall be assessed and charged to the Borrower’s
Loan Account. Borrower shall specify the Remittance Address on all agreements and contracts, and
take all necessary steps to ensure all Collections are directed to the Remittance Address. On all
invoices Borrower will place the Payment Notice that each invoice shall only be paid to the
Remittance Address. All invoices shall be mailed or otherwise transmitted by Borrower to Account
Obligors within five business days of issuance. Borrower will provide Lender with copies of all
invoices and evidence of completion of services on all invoices as set forth in the Procedures
Letter along with any other information as Lender may reasonably request. Nothing in this section
shall require Borrower’s income received in the ordinary course of business that does not
constitute proceeds of accounts receivable to be sent to the Remittance Address.

4.3 Application of Payments
Lender may, in its discretion, apply, reverse and re-apply all Collections and other proceeds of
Collateral or other payments received with respect to the Obligations, in such order and manner as
Lender shall determine, whether or not the Obligations are due, and whether before or after the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default. For purposes of determining Availability, funds
received at the Remittance Address will be credited to the Loan Account upon Lender’s receipt of
notice that such items have been credited to the Payment Account, subject to final payment and
collection; provided, however, that for purposes of computing interest on the
Obligations, such items shall be deemed applied by Lender four Business Days after Lender’s receipt
of advice of deposit in the Payment Account, including such payments received by wire transfer, ACH
or other electronic means to an account designated by Lender, in which case such items shall be
deemed applied by Lender four Business Day after Lender’s receipt of advice of deposit in the
Payment Account. If, as the result of Lender’s application of Collections to the Obligations as
authorized by this Section 4.3 a credit balance exists in favor of Borrower (meaning that, on any
date of determination, the collected balance of Collections after the applicable cutoff time on
such date exceeds the outstanding principal balance of (and all interest, fees and other amounts
payable with respect to) the Obligations after the applicable cutoff time on such date), such
credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower, but shall be available to, and
promptly paid by Lender to Borrower upon Borrower’s request, at any time or times for so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists.
4.4 Notification; Verification
Lender or its designee may, from time to time and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred verify directly with the Account Obligors
the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts, by means of mail, telephone or
otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Lender or such other name as Lender may choose.
Lender will notify Borrower of any Account Obligor contacted for verification of Accounts after
such verification is performed. Lender or its designee may, after the occurrence of a Default or
Event of Default (i) notify Account Obligors that Lender has a Lien in the Accounts and that
payment thereof is to be made directly to Lender; and (ii) demand, collect or enforce payment of
any Accounts (but without any duty to do so)
4.5 Power of Attorney
Borrower hereby makes, constitutes and appoints each of Lender’s officers or agents as Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, in the name of Borrower or in the name of Lender,
but for Lender’s use and benefit, to do or perform at any time, in Lender’s discretion, any of the
following: (i) at any time, irrespective of whether there exists an Event of Default, receive,
open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower and endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or
other payment items with respect to any Collateral and to deposit same and apply them to such of
the Obligations as Lender may elect; and (ii) at any time that an Event of Default exists, cause
all mail to be diverted from any post office box in Borrower’s name to a post office box or other
address designated by Lender; demand, xxx for, collect and receive monies due or to become due on
any Accounts and to settle, compound, compromise or extend the time of payment of any Account or
other Collateral upon terms acceptable to Lender without releasing Borrower from any liability to
Lender, and do such other and further acts in Borrower’s name which Lender may deem necessary or
desirable to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement or to collect any of the Obligations or
realize upon any Collateral. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees to forward to Borrower any mail received by Lender
that is not a payment that Lender is entitled to keep or apply to the Obligations.

4.6 Books and Records
Borrower irrevocably authorizes all accountants and third parties to disclose and deliver to
Lender, at Borrower’s expense, all financial information, books and records, work papers,
management reports and other information in their possession regarding Borrower. Borrower will not
enter into any agreement with any accounting firm, service bureau or third party to store
Borrower’s books or records at any location other than Borrower’s Address or at one or more of the
business locations set forth in Schedule F hereto without first obtaining Lender’s written consent

7.2 Remedies
Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (and for so long as such Event of Default shall
exist), Lender may in its discretion declare the principal of and accrued interest on the Advances
and all other Obligations outstanding to be, and whereupon the same shall thereupon become without
further notice or demand (all of which notice and demand Borrower expressly waives), forthwith due
and payable and Borrower shall forthwith pay to Lender the entire principal of and accrued and
unpaid interest on the Advances and other Obligations, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and
court costs if such principal and interest are collected by or through an attorney at law, and
Lender may terminate this Agreement. In addition, Lender may, in its discretion, at any time or
times exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other
Applicable Law and all other legal and equitable rights to which Lender may be entitled under any
of the Loan Documents, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to any other rights or remedies contained in any of the Loan Documents or available
pursuant to Applicable Law, and none of which shall be exclusive. Borrower agrees that any
requirement of notice to Borrower of any proposed public or private sale or other disposition of
any Collateral by Lender shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof, if given at least ten (10) days
prior thereto. Lender may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at a public sale or, if
permitted by Applicable Law, at any private sale, and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase
price, may set off the amount of such price against the outstanding Obligations. The proceeds
realized from any sale or other disposition of Collateral may be applied first to any Extraordinary
Expenses incurred by Lender, second to interest accrued with respect to any of the Obligations, and
then to the principal balance of the Obligations. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrower and each
Obligor (excluding Validity Guarantors, which Lender shall have no recourse against any individual
assets) shall remain liable to Lender therefor. The failure or delay of Lender to require strict
performance by Borrower of any provision of the Loan Documents or to exercise or enforce any
rights, Liens, powers, or remedies under any of the Loan Documents shall not operate as a waiver of
such performance, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies, but all such rights, Liens, powers, and
remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully
satisfied.
SECTION 8. RELEASE AND INDEMNITY
8.1 Release
Borrower hereby releases Lender and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
employees, attorneys and agents and any other Person affiliated with or representing Lender (the
“Released Parties”) from any and all liability arising from acts or omissions under or pursuant to
this Agreement, whether based on errors of judgment or mistake of law or fact, except for those
arising from gross negligence and willful misconduct. In no circumstance will any of the Released
Parties be liable for lost
profits or other special or consequential damages. Such release is made on the date hereof and
remade upon each request for an Advance by Borrower.

costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), of every nature, character and description, which
the Released Parties may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the other Documents or any of the Obligations or any other
matter, cause or thing whatsoever occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Lender relating
to Borrower or the Obligations (except any such amounts sustained or incurred as the result of the
gross negligence and willful misconduct of the Released Parties). Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

payable, without further notice or demand, upon any termination of this Agreement.

at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination, whereupon this Agreement shall
terminate on said Anniversary Date. Lender may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving
Borrower at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination, provided Lender may
terminate this Agreement immediately without prior notice to Borrower at any time an Event of
Default exists and this Agreement shall be deemed to have automatically terminated upon the
commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding by Borrower.
9.3 Early Termination Fee
If this Agreement is terminated by Borrower or automatically on the commencement of an Insolvency
Proceeding by Borrower (and whether such termination occurs on an Anniversary Date or otherwise),
or by Lender after the occurrence of and Event of Default, Lender will be entitled to a termination
fee (the “Early Termination Fee”), as liquidated damages for its loss of the benefit of the bargain
and not as a penalty (the parties acknowledging that the termination fee is a reasonable
calculation of Lender’s loss of the benefit of the bargain from any such termination). The Early
Termination Fee, calculated as follows, shall be due and payable on the effective date of
termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to
any of the Obligations:
i. | Two percent (2%) of the Maximum Loan Amount, if terminated prior to the first
