SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

                  This document sets forth certain understandings and agreements
reached by and between Brian Nugent, acting on his own behalf ("Nugent"), and
Outsource International, Inc. ("Outsource"), and all subsidiary and affiliated
companies and divisions (the "Outsource Affiliates"), including all officers,
directors, agents, and employees, relating to the termination of the employment
of Nugent, and certain terms and conditions of that certain employment agreement
between the parties dated July 1, 1999 (the "Employment Agreement"). This
Separation Agreement and Release amends, modifies, and clarifies certain
provisions of the Employment Agreement.

                  Under the terms set forth in this Separation Agreement and
Release, Nugent resigns, effective April 21, 2000. Nugent previously resigned
his position of Vice President and General Counsel of Outsource and the
Outsource Affiliates effective March 10, 2000.

                  In consideration of the amicable end to their employment
relationship, Outsource and Nugent have agreed to the following terms and
conditions. To the extent that the terms and conditions contained herein
conflict or differ with terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, the
terms and conditions provided herein shall control. Otherwise, unless
specifically amended herein, the terms and conditions of the Employment
Agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect.

         1.   Separation payment- the parties have agreed that with respect to
              the termination of Nugent's employment, paragraph 7 of the
              Employment Agreement controls. The parties have further agreed
              that under the terms of paragraph 7 of the Employment Agreement,
              Nugent shall receive a total cash amount, net of amounts due
              Outsource, of $229,250, less applicable taxes and standard
              deductions (the "Cash Amount"), as compensation for services
              rendered to Outsource. Pursuant to paragraph 7.b.i of the
              Employment Agreement, Outsource has elected to pay the Cash Amount
              in periodic installments in accordance with its regular salary
              practices. The Cash Amount will be paid in equal payments every
              two weeks, the first payment to commence on May 5, 2000 (the
              "Biweekly Separation Payment"), and continuing every two weeks
              thereafter, with the final payment to be made on December 29,
              2000. The Biweekly Separation Payment shall be in the amount of
              $12,736.11, less applicable taxes and standard deductions. On May
              5, 2000, Nugent shall receive, in addition to the Biweekly
              Separation Payment, a payment representing wages for the week of
              April 17-21, 2000.

              Paragraph 7 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to
              conform to the terms and conditions stated in this paragraph one.
              Nugent agrees that the only payment he is entitled to receive
              under paragraph 7 of the Employment Agreement is the Cash Amount.

         2.   Outsource Stock Options. Pursuant to paragraph 7.c.i of the
              Employment Agreement, all Outsource International, Inc. stock

<PAGE>

              options previously granted to Nugent vested fully as of April 21,
              2000 (the "Vested Options"). Paragraph 7.c.i is hereby amended to
              provide that Nugent shall have the right to exercise the Vested
              Options for a period of two years beginning on April 21, 2000,
              which represents one additional year beyond what is stated in
              Paragraph 7.c.i, subject to a restriction on the amount that
              Nugent can realize on the sale of any stock option of two times
              the stock option's exercise price (the "Option Restriction"). The
              parties agree to execute an addendum to each Outsource stock
              option agreement to which Nugent is a party that sets forth the
              Option Restriction. The parties will execute such addenda within
              thirty (30) days of the execution of this Separation Agreement and
              Release. Nugent acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of stock
              options during this two year period shall be subject to applicable
              tax laws. Nugent will be solely responsible for paying all taxes
              associated with the exercise of any Vested Options.

         3.   Reimbursement of Expenses. Outsource will reimburse Nugent for any
              outstanding business expenses incurred through April 21, 2000.

         4.   Benefits. Outsource will continue all employee welfare benefits
              currently provided by Outsource to Nugent, including, but not
              limited to group health, dental, vision, short term disability,
              long term disability, and life, in accordance with the terms and
              conditions of paragraph 7.b.iii of the Employment Agreement.
              Nugent will continue to be responsible for paying all premiums for
              such benefits that he was paying as of April 20, 2000. Nugent will
              be eligible for COBRA benefits, and will be responsible for paying
              COBRA premiums beginning on April 20, 2001. The Company will
              provide the opportunity for Nugent to convert the Long Term
              Disability and Life Insurance policies currently in effect to
              individual policies. The Company will continue to be responsible
              for paying the same amount of premiums toward said policies as the
              Company was paying as of the effective date of this Separation
              Agreement and Release.

         5.   Equipment - Nugent will be permitted to keep his Palm Pilot and
              pager. Nugent will return the laptop computer on or before May 15,
              2000.

         In consideration for the foregoing, Nugent agrees as follows:

                  Nugent waives and releases any and all claims, suits, damages,
                  liabilities, debts, and rights, and causes of action, in law
                  or in equity, of any kind whatsoever, which he has or may have
                  had against Outsource including, but not limited to, any
                  claims, rights, or causes of action based on any federal,
                  state or local laws, statutes, ordinances, public policy or
                  executive orders, including, but not limited to, such as Title
                  VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Equal Pay
                  Act of 1963, as amended, the Civil Rights Acts of 1966, 1971,
                  and 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as
                  amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C.

                  the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992, Section 760.11, Fla.
                  Stat., the Florida Workers' Compensation Act retaliatory
                  discharge provision, Section 440.205, Fla. Stat., and any
                  other applicable state, city or local ordinance, or any other
                  state or federal constitutional claim, right, public policy,
                  or cause of action.

                  This waiver and release shall not apply to any action by
                  Nugent to enforce the terms and conditions of this Separation
                  Agreement and Release, or the terms and conditions of the
                  Employment Agreement, as amended herein.

         Unless required to do so under applicable law, the parties agree that
they each will keep the existence of and terms and conditions of this Separation
Agreement and Release strictly confidential. The parties agree that a breach by
either party of the promises of confidentiality and nondisclosure set forth
herein shall be a material breach of this Separation Agreement and Release.

                  Neither this Separation Agreement and Release, nor anything
contained herein, is to be construed as an admission by Outsource or by Nugent
of any liability or unlawful conduct whatsoever.

                  Outsource's obligation to pay Nugent the amounts stated
herein, and to provide the benefits described herein, shall not be affected by
any duty to mitigate. The parties agree that the amounts stated herein cannot be
reduced or affected in any way by reason of Nugent's securing other employment
(except to the extent that Outsource will be relieved of providing health
benefits upon Nugent securing such benefits through a new employer), or for any
other reason. All amounts payable by Outsource hereunder shall be paid without
notice or demand, and in no event later than five business days after such
payments become due. Unless Nugent violates the non-competition,
non-solicitation, or confidentiality provisions of the Employment Agreement,
Outsource waives all rights it has, or may have in the future, whether based in
contract or statute, to terminate, cancel or rescind this Agreement in whole or
in part. Each and every payment made hereunder shall be final and Outsource will
not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from Nugent or from whomever
may be so entitled thereto, for any reason whatsoever. Outsource may withhold
for income tax purposes any amounts required to be withheld under applicable tax
laws.

                  This Separation Agreement and Release shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, and cannot be
amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written agreement entered into by
both parties hereto. Any action or suit to enforce or interpret this Separation
Agreement and Release shall be filed in Palm Beach County, Florida. Except as
specifically amended herein, this Separation Agreement and Release does not
affect any obligations of Nugent under his Employment Agreement. In particular,
the non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality provisions of the
Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and all parties
agree to honor all such provisions. In the event any provision of this
Separation Agreement and Release is invalidated by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then all of the remaining provisions of this Separation Agreement
and Release shall continue unabated and in full force and effect. All
obligations of a continuing nature created by this Separation Agreement and
Release shall survive its expiration or termination.
