SEVERANCE AGREEMENT


     THIS SEVERANCE  AGREEMENT  ("Agreement")  dated as of June 24, 1999 is made
between GLOBE BUSINESS RESOURCES, INC., an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), and
LOUIS W. HOLLIDAY, JR. (the "Executive").


                                R E C I T A L S:

     WHEREAS,  the Board of Directors of the Company  (the  "Board")  recognizes
that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations,  the possibility of a
Change in Control (as defined hereunder) of the Company exists; and,

     WHEREAS, the Board has, after due deliberation, determined that appropriate
steps should be taken to reinforce and  encourage  the  continued  attention and
dedication  of key  members of the  Company's  management  team,  including  the
Executive, to their assigned duties;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained hereinafter, the Company and the Executive hereby agree
as follows:

     1. Defined Terms. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the
meanings respectively ascribed thereto in Section 17 hereof.

     2. Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and
shall  continue in effect  through  December 31, 2000.  Commencing on January 1,
2001  and  each  January  1st  thereafter,  the  term  of this  Agreement  shall
automatically  be extended for one (1)  additional  year unless,  not later than
November 30th  preceding  that January 1st, the Company or the  Executive  shall
have given notice not to extend this Agreement or a Change in Control shall have
occurred prior to such January 1st;  provided,  however,  if a Change in Control
shall have occurred  during the term of this  Agreement,  this  Agreement  shall
continue in effect for a period of not less than  twelve (12) months  beyond the
date on which such Change in Control occurred. For the avoidance of doubt and as
an  illustration  only, if a Change of Control  occurred on June 30, 2000,  this
Agreement  would remain in effect through June 30, 2001  irrespective of whether
or not the Company gave notice not to extend this  Agreement  past  December 31,
2000.

     3.  Company's  Covenants  Summarized.  In order to induce the  Executive to
remain in the employ of the  Company  and in  consideration  of the  Executive's
covenants  set  forth in  Section  4  hereof,  the  Company  agrees,  under  the
conditions  described  herein,  to pay the  Executive the  "Severance  Payments"
described in Section 5.1 hereof in the event the Executive's employment with the
Company is terminated  following a Change in Control and during the term of this

<PAGE>

Agreement.  No amount or benefit  shall be payable under this  Agreement  unless
there shall have been (or, under the terms hereof, there shall be deemed to have
been) a termination of the Executive's  employment with the Company  following a
Change in Control.  This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express
or implied  contract of employment  prior to the date of a Change in Control and
the  Executive  shall not have any  right to be  retained  in the  employ of the
Company but shall remain an employee at-will.

     4. The Executive's  Covenants.  The Executive  agrees that,  subject to the
terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement,  in the event a  Potential  Change in
Control occurs or arises during the term of this  Agreement,  the Executive will
remain in the employ of the  Company  until the  earliest of (a) a date which is
six (6) months from the date of such Potential  Change of Control,  (b) the date
of a Change in Control, (c) the date the Executive's employment with the Company
terminates  by  reason  of the  Executive's  death  or  Disability,  or (d)  the
termination by the Company of the Executive's employment for any reason.

     5. Severance Payments.

          5.1 The Company shall pay the Executive the payments described in this
     Section 5.1 ("Severance  Payments") upon the termination of the Executive's
     employment following a Change in Control during the term of this Agreement,
     including the Executive's termination of employment for Good Reason, unless
     such  termination is (a) by the Company for Cause,  or (b) by reason of the
     Executive's Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall be deemed
     to have been  terminated  following  a Change  in  Control  by the  Company
     without Cause if the Executive's employment is terminated prior to a Change
     in Control  without Cause at the  direction (or action which  constitutes a
     direction)  of a Person who has entered into an agreement  with the Company
     the consummation of which will constitute a Change in Control.

               (i) Within three (3) business days after the Date of Termination,
          the  Company  shall  make a lump sum or  monthly,  at the  Executive's
          option, cash severance payment to the Executive in an amount equal to:
          (x) the Executive's  annual base salary in effect immediately prior to
          the occurrence of the event or  circumstance  upon which the Notice of
          Termination is based or in effect  immediately  prior to the Change in
          Control;  and (y) a pro-rated  portion of Executive's  Targeted Annual
          Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs.

               (ii)  For  a  twelve  (12)  month   period   after  the  Date  of
          Termination,  the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive  with
          medical and dental insurance benefits  substantially  similar to those
          that the  Executive  is receiving  immediately  prior to the Notice of
          Termination.  Benefits otherwise  receivable by the Executive pursuant
          to this  Section  5.1(ii)  shall be reduced  to the extent  comparable

<PAGE>

          benefits are actually  received by or made  available to the Executive
          without  cost  during  the  twelve  (12) month  period  following  the
          Executive's  termination of employment (and any such benefits actually
          received  by the  Executive  shall be  reported  to the Company by the
          Executive).

          5.2 The  Company  also shall pay to the  Executive  all legal fees and
     expenses  incurred  by  the  Executive  in  disputing  the  non-payment  of
     Severance  Payments in  connection  with a termination  which  entitles the
     Executive to Severance  Payments.  Such payments  shall be made within five
     (5) business days after  delivery of the  Executive's  written  request for
     payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the
     Company reasonably may require.

     6. Termination Procedures and Compensation During Dispute.

          6.1 Notice of  Termination.  After a Change in Control  and during the
     term of this  Agreement,  any  termination  of the  Executive's  employment
     (other than by reason of death) shall be  communicated by written Notice of
     Termination  from one party hereto to the other party hereto in  accordance
     with  Section 12  hereof.  For  purposes  of this  Agreement,  a "Notice of
     Termination"  shall  mean  a  notice  which  shall  indicate  the  specific
     termination  provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in
     reasonable  detail the facts and  circumstances  claimed to provide a basis
     for  termination  of the  Executive's  employment  under the  provision  so
     indicated.

          6.2 Date of Termination.  "Date of  Termination",  with respect to any
     termination of the Executive's  employment after a Change in Control during
     the term of this Agreement, shall mean:

               (a) if the  Executive's  employment is terminated for Disability,
          thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination  is given  (provided that
          the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time  performance of
          the Executive's duties during such thirty (30) day period), and

               (b) if the  Executive's  employment is  terminated  for any other
          reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the
          case of a  termination  by the Company,  shall not be less than thirty
          (30) days after the date the Notice of Termination is given (except in
          the case of a termination for Cause)).

     7. No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive's employment by
the Company is  terminated  following a Change in Control and during the term of
this  Agreement,  the  Executive is not required to seek other  employment or to
attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company
pursuant to Section 5.  Further,  the amount of any payment or benefit  provided
for in  Section 5 (other  than  Section  5.1(ii) ) shall not be  reduced  by any

<PAGE>

compensation  earned by the  Executive  as the result of  employment  by another
employer,  by retirement  benefits,  by offset  against any amount claimed to be
owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

     8. Non-Disclosure Covenant. In the performance of his or her duties for the
Company,  Executive has had, and will continue to have,  access to  Confidential
Information (as defined below) of the Company.  Executive  acknowledges that the
Confidential  Information obtained or developed in the course of employment with
the Company remains the property of the Company. Executive acknowledges that the
Company  has  invested  substantial  sums in the  development  of the  Company's
Confidential Information.

     As used herein, the term "Confidential  Information" shall mean any written
or unwritten  information  which  specifically  relates to and/or is used in the
Company's   interim   corporate   housing  or  furniture  rental  business  (the
"Business")  (including without limitation,  the services,  processes,  designs,
plans,  methods  of  operation,  developments,   financial  information,  market
information or plans in development, trade secrets, know-how, and the customers,
suppliers  and  others  with  whom  the  Company  does or has in the  past  done
business,  regardless  of when and by whom such  information  was  developed  or
acquired)  which  the  Company  deems  confidential  and  proprietary,  which is
generally not known to the public and which gives or tends to give the Company a
competitive  advantage  over  persons  who  do  not  possess  such  information;
provided,  however,  that  "Confidential  Information" shall not include general
industry  information or information which is publicly  available or information
which the Executive has lawfully  acquired from a source other than the Company.
The  Executive   acknowledges  that  the  Confidential   Information  is  novel,
proprietary to and of considerable value to the Company.

     During  his or her  employment  with  the  Company  and  after  the Date of
Termination,  Executive  covenants  and  agrees  that the  Executive  will  not,
directly  or  indirectly,  disclose or  communicate  to any person or entity any
Confidential Information of the Company ("Non-Disclosure Covenant").  Subject to
applicable  law, this  Non-Disclosure  Covenant has no geographic or territorial
restriction  or  limitation  and applies no matter  where the  Executive  may be
located  in the  future.  Nothing  in this  Agreement  shall be  deemed to be in
derogation  of the  Company's  rights under federal and state laws and decisions
with respect to trade secrets or unfair competition.

     9.  Non-Solicitation  Covenant.  The Executive  agrees that for a period of
twelve (12) months  following the Date of  Termination,  the Executive will not,
either  for his or her  account  or for or  through  any other  person,  firm or
corporation,  directly or indirectly,:  (i) call on, solicit or communicate with
any  person who or that was a customer  of the  Company  during the term of this
Agreement,  for the purpose of soliciting interim corporate housing or furniture
rental  business for someone other than the Company or a Company  affiliate;  or
(ii) solicit for  employment  with any other  person,  firm or  corporation  any
person who is or was an employee of the Company as of the Date of Termination.

     10. Breach of Non-Disclosure or Non-Solicitation Covenant. In the event the
Executive, directly or indirectly,  breaches, violates or fails to fully perform
his or her obligations under Sections 8 or 9, Executive  acknowledges and agrees
that each such breach will cause immediate and  irreparable  harm to the Company
in a manner that cannot be measured nor adequately compensated in damages.

     The  Executive  has  carefully  considered  the  nature  and  extent of the
restrictions  upon him and the rights and  remedies  conferred  upon the Company
under this  Agreement,  and  hereby  acknowledges  and agrees  that the same are
reasonable  with  respect to duration  and  geographical  area,  are designed to
protect the  legitimate  business  interests of the  Company,  and do not confer
benefits upon the Company  disproportionate  to the detriment to the  Executive.
The  Executive  agrees that,  in the event any court of  competent  jurisdiction
determines that the above covenants are invalid or  unenforceable,  to join with
the  Company  in  requesting  the court to  construe  or modify  the  applicable
provision  by  limiting or  reducing  it so as to be  enforceable  to the extent
compatible with applicable law.

     The Company and the  Executive  further agree that in the event of any such
breach and in addition to any and all other  remedies that it may have at law or
in equity, the Company shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary and permanent
injunctive  relief to restrain  such breach by  Executive,  and to all costs and
expenses,  including  reasonable  attorneys' fees, of any proceedings brought to
obtain such  injunctive  relief.  Executive  agrees to waive any objection to or
defense in respect of the  geographical  scope and duration of the  covenants as
set forth in Sections 8 and 9 hereof. Nothing contained in this Section 10 shall
restrict or limit in any manner, the Company's right to seek and obtain any form
of relief,  legal or  equitable,  in an action  brought  to  enforce  its rights
hereunder.

     11. Successors; Binding Agreement.

          11.1 In addition to any obligations  imposed by law upon any successor
     to the Company,  the Company will require any successor  (whether direct or
     indirect,  by  purchase,  merger,  consolidation  or  otherwise)  to all or
     substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly
     assume and agree to perform  this  Agreement  in the same manner and to the
     same  extent  that the  Company  would be required to perform it if no such
     succession had taken place.  In any event this  Agreement  shall be binding
     upon the Company and any successors or assignee.

          11.2 This  Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
     by  the   Executive's   personal  or  legal   representatives,   executors,
     administrators,  successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If
     the  Executive  shall die while any  amount  would  still be payable to the
     Executive  hereunder  (other than amounts which, by their terms,  terminate
     upon the death of the  Executive)  if the  Executive had continued to live,
     all  such  amounts,  unless  otherwise  provided  herein,  shall be paid in
     accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement  to the  executors,  personal
     representatives or administrators of the Executive's estate.
