                        INITIAL DIRECTOR AWARD AGREEMENT

 

            This Award Agreement between Administaff, Inc. (the "Company"), and

_______________________ (the "Optionee"), a member of the Board of Directors of

the Company (the "Board"), regarding a right (the "Option") awarded to the

Optionee on _______________________ (the "Grant Date") to purchase from the

Company up to, but not exceeding in the aggregate, 7,500 shares of Common Stock

(as defined in the Administaff, Inc. 2001 Incentive Plan (the "Plan")) at

$_______ per share (the "Exercise Price"), which is equal to the Fair Market

Value of an Option Share as of the Grant Date, such number of shares and such

price per share being subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 of the

Plan, and further subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

            1.     RELATIONSHIP TO PLAN. This Option is intended to be a

nonqualified stock option within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code (the

"Code") Section 83. This Option is subject to all of the terms, conditions and

provisions of the Plan and administrative interpretations thereunder, if any,

which have been adopted by the Committee thereunder and are in effect on the

date hereof. Except as defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same

meanings ascribed to them under the Plan. For purposes of this Award Agreement:

 

            (a)    "OPTION SHARES" shall mean the shares of Common Stock covered

      by this Award Agreement.

 

            (b)    "SERVICE" shall mean service as a member of the Board.

 

            2.     EXERCISE SCHEDULE

 

            (a)    The Option hereby granted shall become vested and exercisable

      in three (3) cumulative annual installments, with 33.33% of the Option

      Shares becoming vested and exercisable on the first (1st) anniversary of

      the Grant Date, 66.66% of the Option Shares becoming vested and

       exercisable on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Grant Date, and 100% of

      the Option Shares becoming vested and exercisable on the third (3rd)

      anniversary of the Grant Date. The Optionee must be in continuous Service

      from the Grant Date through the date of exercisability in order for an

      Option to become 100% vested and exercisable with respect to additional

      Option Shares on each such date.

 

            (b)    The Option hereby granted shall become 100% vested and

      exercisable, irrespective of the limitations set forth in subsection (a)

      above, provided that the Optionee has been in continuous Service since the

      Grant Date, upon (i) a Change in Control, or (ii) the occurrence of the

      Optionee's termination of Service due to death or Disability.

            3.     TERMINATION OF OPTION. The Option hereby granted shall

terminate and be of no force and effect with respect to any shares of Common

Stock not previously purchased by the Optionee upon the first to occur of:

 

            (a)    the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date;

 

            (b)    with respect to

 

                  (i)    the portion of the Option exercisable upon termination

            of Service, the expiration of (A) three (3) months following the

            Optionee's termination of Service for Cause or (B) three (3) years

            following the Optionee's termination of Service for any other

            reason; and/or

 

                  (ii)   the portion of the Option not exercisable upon

            termination of Service, the date of the Optionee's termination of

            Service.

 

            4.     EXERCISE OF OPTION. Subject to the limitations set forth

herein and in the Plan, the Option may be exercised by written notice provided

to the Company as set forth in Section 5 of this Award Agreement. Such written

notice shall (a) state the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to

which the Option is being exercised and (b) be accompanied by a wire transfer,

cashier's check, cash or money order payable to Administaff, Inc., in the full

amount of the purchase price for any Option Shares being acquired and any

appropriate withholding taxes, or by other consideration in the form and manner

approved by the Committee pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan.

 

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the

Optionee agrees that he will not exercise the Option granted pursuant hereto,

and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Option Shares pursuant

to this Award Agreement, if the exercise of the Option or the issuance of such

shares would constitute a violation by the Optionee or by the Company of any

provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any stock

exchange or transaction quotation system.

 

            If any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action

with respect to the shares specified in such notice, the time for delivery

thereof, which would otherwise be as promptly as possible, shall be postponed

for the period of time necessary to take such action.

 

            In no event shall the Company be required to issue fractional shares

upon the exercise of any portion of the Option.

 

            5.     NOTICES. Notice of exercise of the Option must be made in the

following manner, using an approved exercise notice form provided by the Company

and which may be amended from time to time:
