<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Item&nbsp;1. <U>Description of Registrant&#146;s Securities to be Registered.</U></FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;6, 1996, the Board of Directors of Personnel Group of America,
Inc. (the <U>&#147;Company&#148;</U>) declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right
(a <U>&#147;Right&#148;</U>) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, of the Company (the <U>&#147;Common Stock&#148;</U>), payable to its stockholders of
record as of February&nbsp;27, 1996 (the <U>&#147;Record Date&#148;</U>). Since the Record Date, the
Company has issued one Right with each newly issued share of Common Stock.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights
Agreement, originally dated as of February&nbsp;6, 1996 (as amended, the <U>&#147;Rights
Agreement&#148;</U>), between the Company and The First National Bank of Boston, as
rights agent, as amended by a First Amendment to Rights Agreement, dated as of
December&nbsp;13, 2001, between the Company and Wachovia Bank, National Association
(formerly known as First Union National Bank), as successor rights agent (the
<U>&#147;Rights Agent&#148;</U>); by a Second Amendment to Rights Agreement, dated as of March
14, 2003, between the Company and the Rights Agent; by an Amended and Restated
Rights Agreement, dated as of April&nbsp;14, 2003, between the Company and the
Rights Agent; and by an Amendment to Amended and Restated Rights Agreement,
dated as of August&nbsp;18, 2003, between the Company and the Rights Agent (the
<U>&#147;Amendment&#148;</U>).
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Amendment makes changes to Section&nbsp;1(r) and Section&nbsp;28(b) and (c)&nbsp;of
the Rights Agreement. The changes to Section&nbsp;28(b) and (c)&nbsp;correct inaccurate
section references in Section&nbsp;28(b) and (c). The change to Section&nbsp;1(r)
clarifies the meaning of the phrase &#147;the closing date of the Restructuring
Agreement,&#148; in the definition of the term &#147;Permitted Holder.&#148; Under this
definition, as amended by the Amendment, the term &#147;Permitted Holder&#148; includes
any person or entity that was a beneficial owner of 15% or more of the
Company&#146;s common stock as of the closing date of the Restructuring Agreement
(as defined), or as of the date that the preferred stock issued by the Company
pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement first became convertible into shares of
common stock. Under the Rights Agreement, no Permitted Holder can become an
Acquiring Person.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Amendment, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
