previous Dividend Periods shall have been paid or declared and a sum of money
sufficient for the payment thereto has been set apart.

          (e) In the event that full dividends are not paid or made available to
the holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and of any
Parity Stock and funds available for payment of dividends shall be insufficient
to permit payment in full to holders of all such stock of the full preferential
amounts to which they are then entitled, then the entire amount available for
payment of dividends shall be distributed ratably among all such holders of
Series A Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock in proportion to the full
amount to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

     3    Distributions Upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

assets of the Corporation in cash or property at its fair market value as

Preference per share plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid
thereon to the date of such liquidation or dissolution or such other winding up.
Except as provided in this paragraph, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

          (b) If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of
the affairs of the Corporation the assets of the Corporation shall be
insufficient to permit the payment in full of the Liquidation Preference per
share plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid on the Series A
Preferred Stock and full liquidating payments on all Parity Stock, then the
assets of the Corporation shall be ratably distributed among the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock in proportion to the full
amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled if all amounts
thereon were paid in full.

          (c) Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or
with another corporation or corporations, nor the sale, lease, transfer or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to
another corporation or any other entity shall be deemed a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning
of this paragraph 3.

     4    Redemption at the Option of the Stockholder.

          (a) On or after May , 2005, any holder of Series A Preferred Stock may
demand that the Corporation redeem such holder's shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at the Redemption Price. Such
right may be exercised by delivery to the Corporation of a notice (a
"Shareholder Redemption Notice") requesting such redemption. The Corporation
shall redeem such shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a date (a "Shareholder
Redemption Date") that is not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the
date of delivery of a Redemption Notice.

          (b) Notice of any redemption pursuant to subparagraph 4(a) shall be
sent by or on behalf of the Corporation no less than fifteen (15) days prior to
a Shareholder Redemption Date, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such
Shareholder Redemption Date at their respective last addresses as they shall
appear on the books of the Corporation. In addition to any information required
by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series A Preferred
Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall

                                       4
<PAGE>

state: (i) the Shareholder Redemption Date; (ii) the Redemption Price; (iii) the
place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for
payment of the Redemption Price; and (iv) that dividends on the shares to be
redeemed will cease to accrue on the Shareholder Redemption Date.

          (c) From and after the Shareholder Redemption Date, dividends on the
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to
accrue, and such shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall
not have the status of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and all rights of the
holders thereof as shareholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive
from the Corporation the Redemption Price) shall cease; provided, however, that
such dividend shall continue to accrue and such rights shall continue to exist
with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption that
are not otherwise redeemed pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 4(d) until
such time that such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemed by the
Corporation. Upon surrender, in accordance with such notice, of the certificates
for any shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the
Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), the Corporation
shall pay the applicable Redemption Price. In case fewer than all the shares
represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or
certificates shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to
the holder thereof.

          (d) No Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed pursuant to
subparagraph 4(a) except with funds legally available for the payment of the
Redemption Price. If the Corporation has insufficient funds legally available to
redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on a Shareholder
Redemption Date, those funds legally available for such purpose shall be used to
redeem the number of such shares which may be redeemed. The holders of Series A
Preferred Stock whose shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed on
such Shareholder Redemption Date shall participate in any such partial
redemption pro rata according to the number of shares with respect to which a
Shareholder Redemption Notice had been delivered by each such holder.

     5    Redemption at the Option of the Corporation.

          (a) On or after February , 2005, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
redeemable, in whole or from time to time in part, at the option of the
Corporation at the Redemption Price. Each date fixed for redemption pursuant to
this subparagraph 5(a) is called a "Corporation Redemption Date."

          (b) In case of redemption pursuant to subparagraph 5(a) of less than
all shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares shall
be redeemed pro rata by the Corporation.

          (c) Notice of any redemption pursuant to subparagraph 5(a) shall be
sent by or on behalf of the Corporation not more than sixty (60) days nor less
than thirty (30) days prior to the Corporation Redemption Date, by first class
mail, postage prepaid, to all holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock
at their respective last addresses as they shall appear on the books of the
Corporation; provided, however, that no failure to give such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except
as to the holder to whom the Corporation has failed to give notice or except as
to the holder to whom notice was defective. In addition to any information
required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series A
Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall state:

of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all
shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be
redeemed; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be

<PAGE>

surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (v) that dividends on the
shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the Corporation Redemption Date.

          (d) From and after the Corporation Redemption Date, dividends on the
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to
accrue, and such shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall
not have the status of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and all rights of the
holders thereof as shareholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive
from the Corporation the Redemption Price) shall cease; provided, however, such
dividend shall continue to accrue and such rights shall continue to exist with
respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption that are not
otherwise redeemed pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 5(e) until such
time that such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemed by the
Corporation. Upon surrender, in accordance with such notice, of the certificates
for any shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the
Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), the Corporation
shall pay the applicable Redemption Price. In case fewer than all the shares
represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or
certificates shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to
the holder thereof.

          (e) No Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed pursuant to
subparagraph 5(a) except with funds legally available for the payment of the
Redemption Price.

     6    Mandatory Redemption.

          (a) The Corporation shall redeem all remaining shares of Series A
Preferred Stock then outstanding at the Redemption Price on the date (the

consolidation, less than 50% of the common equity of the surviving corporation
is held by the persons who held the Common Stock of the Corporation immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Corporation.

          (b) Notice of redemption pursuant to subparagraph 6(a) shall be sent
by or on behalf of the Corporation not more than sixty (60) days nor less than
thirty (15) days prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to all holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at
their respective last addresses as they shall appear on the books of the
Corporation; provided, however, that no failure to give such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In
addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any
exchange upon which Series A Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to
trading, such notice shall state: (i) the Mandatory Redemption Date; (ii) the
Redemption Price; (iii) the place or places where certificates for such shares
are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (iv) that
dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the Mandatory
Redemption Date.

          (c) From and after the Mandatory Redemption Date, dividends on the
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue, and such shares
shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and shall not have the status of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and all rights of the holders thereof as
shareholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive from the
Corporation the Redemption Price) shall cease; provided, however, such dividend
shall continue to accrue and such rights shall continue to exist with respect to
shares of Series A Preferred Stock called that are not otherwise redeemed
pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 6(d) until such time that such shares

contemplated by this Article II and in obtaining the release of Olsten and the
Retained Subsidiaries from the Assumed OHS Liabilities and any guaranty or
similar obligation of any Assumed OHS Liability and OHS and the Health
Subsidiaries from the Olsten Liabilities or any guaranty or similar obligation
of any Olsten Liability. In the event that any such transfer of Assets or
Liabilities has not been consummated on or prior to the Closing Date, the party
retaining such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability shall thereafter hold such
Delayed Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at
the expense of the party entitled thereto) and retain such Delayed Liability for
the account of the party by whom such Delayed Liability is to be assumed
pursuant hereto, and take such other actions as may be reasonably required in
order to place the parties, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position
as would have existed had such Delayed Asset been transferred or such Delayed
Liability been assumed as contemplated hereby including, without limitation,
enjoyment of rights to indemnification as if such Delayed Liability had been
assumed. As and when any such Delayed Asset or Delayed Liability becomes
transferable, such transfer and assumption shall be effected forthwith. In the
event Olsten or the Retained Subsidiaries are not released from any Assumed OHS
Liabilities or Delayed Liabilities, including the Governmental Settlement
Agreement Liabilities, or OHS or the Health Subsidiaries are not released from
any Olsten Liabilities, in each case, prior to the Effective Time, each such
party shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Liabilities pursuant to
Section 4.01.

    Section 2.05.  REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMERS.  (a) It is
understood and agreed (i) that neither Olsten nor any of the Retained
Subsidiaries is representing or warranting in any way as to the value or freedom
from encumbrance of, or any other matter concerning, any Transferred OHS Assets,
and (ii) that the Transferred OHS Assets are being transferred "as is, where is"
and with all faults (provided that the absence of such warranties shall not
negate the allocation of liabilities under this Agreement and shall have no
effect on any manufacturers, sellers or other third party warranties that are
intended to be transferred with such assets). Similarly, it is understood and
agreed that neither Adecco, Olsten nor any of the Retained Subsidiaries is, in
this Agreement or in any other agreement or document contemplated by this
Agreement, representing or warranting to OHS or any OHS Indemnitee in any way
that the obtaining of the consents and approvals, the execution and delivery of
any amendatory agreements and the making of the filings and applications
contemplated by this Agreement shall satisfy the provisions of any or all
applicable agreements or the requirements of all applicable laws or judgments.

    (b) OHS represents and warrants that:

        (i) OHS is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
    standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite
    corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and
    to carry on its business as now being conducted;

        (ii) OHS has full corporate power and authority to execute this
    Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it will be a party and to
    consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution

    consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been
    duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of OHS and, to the
    extent required, by the stockholder of OHS. This Agreement has been duly
    executed and delivered by OHS and, assuming due authorization, execution and
    delivery hereof by Olsten, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of OHS,
    enforceable against OHS in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
    that its enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
    reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of
    creditors' rights generally or by general equitable principles. Each of the
    Ancillary Agreements will be duly executed and delivered by OHS on or prior
    to the Effective Time and, assuming due authorization, execution and
    delivery thereof by each other party thereto, will constitute a valid and
    binding agreement of OHS, enforceable against OHS in accordance with

                                      8
<PAGE>

    its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by
    applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
    affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general
    equitable principles;

        (iii) The execution and delivery by OHS of this Agreement and the
    Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
    hereby or thereby will not contravene, violate, result in a breach of or
    constitute a default under (x) any provision of applicable law or of the
    articles of incorporation or by-laws of OHS or any Health Subsidiary or
    (y) any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation
    applicable to OHS or any Health Subsidiary or any of their properties or
    assets, except for such contravention, violations, breaches or defaults
    that, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially impair OHS's
    ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or (z) the
    Governmental Settlement Agreements;

        (iv) No filing or registration with, or permit, authorization, consent
    or approval of, or notification or disclosure to, any Governmental Authority
    is required by OHS in connection with the execution and delivery of this
    Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of the transactions
    contemplated hereby or thereby, except (w) in connection with the provisions
    of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (x) such consents, approvals,
    orders, permits, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as
    may be required under the Blue Sky laws of various states, (y) consents,
    authorizations, approvals or notifications listed on Schedule 6 and
    (z) such consents, approvals, orders, permits, authorizations,
    registrations, declarations and filings, the failure of which to obtain
    would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair OHS's ability
    or Olsten's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

        (v) The OHS Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 2.02 has been
    duly authorized and, when so issued, will be fully paid, validly issued and
    nonassessable and will not have been issued in violation of any preemptive
    rights;

        (vi) At the Effective Time, neither OHS nor any of the Health
    Subsidiaries will be a party to any material agreement, arrangement or
    understanding with Olsten or any of the Retained Subsidiaries other than
    this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and any other agreement entered
    into in connection with the Split-Off as contemplated by this Agreement; and

        (vii) Each of the Balance Sheet and the balance sheets attached as
    Schedule 5 for the years ended January 4, 1999 and December 28, 1997 fairly
    present in all material respects the combined financial position of the
    Health Services Business as of their respective dates, in accordance with US
    GAAP (subject in the case of interim financial statements, to normal
    year-end adjustments).

    (c) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this
Agreement and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of
the parties hereto shall act in good faith and use its respective reasonable
best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and, to execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional documents and
instruments, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary,
proper or advisable under applicable laws and agreements to consummate and make
effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

    (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither
Olsten nor OHS shall, without the prior written consent of Adecco, take any
action or inaction in effecting the transactions contemplated hereby if such
action or inaction would (i) materially increase the Liabilities of Olsten or
the Retained Subsidiaries, (ii) materially impair Olsten's ability to conduct
the Retained Businesses, or (iii) materially decrease the value of the Retained
Assets.

    Section 2.06.  FINAL DETERMINATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES.  (a) In case
of any dispute arising before the Split-Off, as to the identity or existence of
Assets relating to the operation of the Health Services Business and the
Retained Businesses or the existence of such a relationship or the
transferability thereof, or the allocation of insurance premium refunds, the
good faith determination of

                                      9
<PAGE>

the Board of Directors of Olsten, together with the consent of Adecco, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such dispute shall concern Assets
or Liabilities that are material to Olsten and the Retained Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, if made before the Split-Off, shall be final, conclusive and
binding.

    (b) In case of any dispute arising before the Split-Off as to the identity
or existence of Liabilities, to be assumed by OHS or as to which OHS is to
indemnify Olsten and its subsidiaries, or the identification or other allocation
of Liabilities in respect of insurance premium obligations, the good faith
determination of the Board of Directors of Olsten, together, in the case of a
dispute which concerns Assets or Liabilities that are material to Olsten and the
Retained Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, with the consent of Adecco, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if made before the Split-Off, shall
be final, conclusive and binding.

    Section 2.07.  CLOSING; CONVEYANCING AND STOCK ASSUMPTION INSTRUMENTS.  (a)
The sale, transfer, assignment and delivery of Assets referred to in
Section 2.01 and the assumption of Liabilities referred to in Section 2.03 (the

parties hereto, but in no event later than the Effective Time (the "Closing
Date").

    (b) At the Closing the parties shall execute or cause to be executed by the
appropriate entities conveyancing and assumption instruments, including using
their reasonable best efforts to obtain from third-parties appropriate releases
and novations, in such forms as the parties shall reasonably agree, including
deeds as may be appropriate, the assignment of trademarks and franchise rights,
and the assignment and assumption of existing lease agreements. Any transfer of
capital stock (including the issuance of OHS Common Stock described in
Section 2.02) shall be effected by means of delivery of stock certificates and
executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation
or other legal entities involved and, to the extent required by applicable law,
by notation on public registries.

    Section 2.08.  CASH ALLOCATION.

    (a) CASH ALLOCATION ON THE CLOSING DATE. The allocation between Olsten and
OHS of all domestic and international cash bank balances, short-term investments
and outstanding checks and drafts of Olsten and its subsidiaries recorded on the
books of Olsten and its subsidiaries shall be in accordance with the following:

        (i) all cash received in, and deposits of cash, checks, drafts or
    short-term investments made to, depositary accounts as of the close of
    business on the Closing Date shall be remitted to Olsten, other than cash
    contained in accounts allocated to OHS pursuant to Section 2.03; and

        (ii) all petty cash of the Health Services Business shall be allocated
    to OHS on the Closing Date; and

        (iii) all Liabilities for payment of outstanding checks or drafts drawn

    Section 2.03 shall be paid by OHS.

    (b) CASH MANAGEMENT AFTER THE CLOSING DATE. The petty cash, depositary and
disbursement accounts of the Health Services Business shall be transferred to
OHS on the Closing Date after the allocations are made pursuant to
Section 2.08(a)(i) and (ii). OHS shall establish and maintain a separate cash
management system and accounting records with respect to the Health Services
Business effective as of 12:01 a.m. New York time on the day following the
Effective Time.

    (c) For purposes of this Section 2.08, any disagreement or dispute arising
between Olsten and OHS on or prior to the Closing Date shall be resolved by the
Board of Directors of Olsten, together, in the case of a dispute which concerns
Assets or Liabilities that are material to Olsten and the Retained Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, with the consent of Adecco, which resolution shall be binding
and final upon each of the parties hereto and not subject to further review.

    (a) On the True-Up Date, the True-Up Intercompany Balance shall be frozen
and thereafter shall not be increased or decreased.

    (b) On the True-Up Date, Olsten shall open a new intercompany account (the
"New Intercompany Account") to record intercompany transactions for the period
between the True-Up Date and the Closing Date. All entries to the New
Intercompany Account shall be made in the ordinary course of business and on a
basis consistent with the intercompany loan balance reflected on the Balance

    (c) On the True-Up Date, if the Net Debt of Olsten and the Retained
Subsidiaries is (i) greater than $750 million, then the New Intercompany Account

(ii) less than $750 million, then Olsten shall pay to OHS cash on such date, in
an amount equal to such shortfall or (iii) equal to $750 million, then the New
Intercompany Account shall open with a zero balance.

    (d) At the Effective Time, (i) the Closing Intercompany Balance shall be
settled by OHS or Olsten, as the case may be, delivering to the other a cash
payment in an amount equal to the amount owing by such party to the other, if
any, together with simple interest at 6% per annum from the True-Up Date to the
Effective Time on the average daily balance, and (ii) the True-Up Intercompany
Balance shall be contributed to the capital of OHS at the Effective Time.

    (e) On the day following the True-Up Date, OHS shall establish a cash
management system for the Health Services Business and related accounts and the
Health Services Business shall cease participation in Olsten's cash management
system. Between the True-Up Date until the Effective Time, (i) all cash receipts
and disbursements of OHS and the Health Services Business shall be made through
the Health Services Business cash management system, and (ii) all transfers of
cash or other assets (other than to accomplish the transfer of assets pursuant
to Section 2.01), or transactions, including management fees and intercompany
loans, between the Retained Businesses, on the one hand and the Health Services
Business, on the other, shall be reflected in the New Intercompany Account, and
(iii) management fees shall be paid by OHS to Olsten on the same basis as prior

                                  ARTICLE III

practicable after the date hereof, (a) Olsten and OHS shall prepare, and Olsten
shall mail to the holders of Olsten Common Stock, the Olsten Proxy Statement,
which sets forth disclosure concerning OHS, the Split-Off, the Merger and other
matters. Olsten and OHS shall also prepare, and OHS shall file with the
Commission, the OHS Registration Statement, which will include or incorporate by
reference the Olsten Proxy Statement. Olsten and OHS shall use their reasonable
best efforts to cause the OHS Registration Statement to become effective under
the Securities Act.

    (b) Olsten and OHS shall cooperate in preparing, filing with the Commission
and causing to become effective any registration statements or amendments

    (d) OHS will prepare and file a preliminary listing application and will
pursue the approval of the application to permit listing or quotation of the OHS
Common Stock on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, as determined by
Olsten.

    Section 3.02.  CONDUCT OF HEALTH SERVICES BUSINESS PENDING SPLIT-OFF.  Prior
to the Split-Off:

        (a) The Health Services Business, including, but not limited to, the
    administration of accounts payable and accounts receivable, will be

    and in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws, rules and
    regulations of any Governmental Authority.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                INDEMNIFICATION

    Section 4.01.  OHS INDEMNIFICATION OF OLSTEN.  Except as otherwise expressly
provided in any of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Closing Date,
OHS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Olsten and its subsidiaries, and
each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates
and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing
(the "Olsten Indemnitees") from and against any and all damage, loss, liability,
deficiency and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of
investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any
or all such investigations or any and all Actions or threatened Actions)
(collectively, "Indemnifiable Losses") incurred or suffered by any of the Olsten
Indemnitees and arising out of or related to (i) the OHS Liabilities or the
failure of OHS or any of the Health Subsidiaries to pay, perform or otherwise
discharge any of the OHS Liabilities; (ii) with respect to information in the
Olsten Proxy Statement, the OHS Registration Statement or the Adecco
Registration Statement related to the Health Services Business, OHS or any of
the Health Subsidiaries or the Split-Off, any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission to state
therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (iii) any
misrepresentation or breach of any warranty in this Agreement made by OHS;
(iv) any breach of any agreement or covenant under this Agreement made by OHS;
(v) liabilities resulting from any holder of Olsten Common Stock exercising
appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law with respect to the
value of the Split-Off Consideration; and (vi) any cash paid to stockholders of
Olsten in lieu of fractional shares of OHS.

    Section 4.02.  OLSTEN INDEMNIFICATION OF OHS.  Except as otherwise expressly
provided in any of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Closing Date,
Olsten shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless OHS and the Health
Subsidiaries, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents and Affiliates and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns
of any of the foregoing (the "OHS Indemnitees") from and against any and all
Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by any of the OHS Indemnitees and
arising out of or related to (i) the Olsten Liabilities or the failure of Olsten
or any of its subsidiaries to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any of the
Olsten Liabilities or (ii) any breach of any agreement or covenant under this
Agreement made by Olsten after the Closing Date.

    Section 4.03.  NOTICE AND PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.  If any Olsten Indemnitee or
OHS Indemnitee (the "Indemnified Party") determines that it is or may be
entitled to indemnification by OHS or Olsten, as

                                      12
<PAGE>

the case may be (the "Indemnifying Party"), under this Article IV (other than in
connection with any Action subject to Section 4.04), the Indemnified Party shall
deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the extent
reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification and the
amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be
Indemnified. After the Indemnifying Party shall have been notified of the amount
for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification, the Indemnifying Party
shall, within 15 days after receipt of such notice, either (i) pay the
Indemnified Party such amount in cash or other immediately available funds (or
reach agreement with the Indemnified Party as to a mutually agreeable
alternative payment schedule) or (ii) object to the claim for indemnification or
the amount thereof by giving the Indemnified Party written notice setting forth
the grounds therefor. Any objection shall be resolved in accordance with
Section 7.15. If the Indemnifying Party does not give such notice, the
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for such
claim and the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights under
applicable law to collect such amount.

    Section 4.04.  NOTICE AND DEFENSE OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.  (a) Promptly
following the earlier of (a) receipt of written notice of the commencement by a
third party of any Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party,
or (b) receipt of written information from a third party alleging the existence
of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which
indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a "Third-Party
Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written
notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided
in this Section 4.04 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
under this agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is
prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe the
Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount of the
Indemnifiable Loss that has been or will be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

    (b) Within 30 days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may,
by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (i) acknowledge
liability for and at its option elect to assume the defense of such Third-Party
Claim at its sole cost and expense, or (ii) object to the claim of
indemnification for such Third-Party Claim setting forth the grounds therefor.
Any objection shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.15. If the
Indemnifying Party does not within such 30-day period give the Indemnified Party
such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its
liability for such Third-Party Claim.

    (c) Any defense of a Third-Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party
has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by
the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to Olsten in the case of
Olsten Indemnitees and OHS in the case of OHS Indemnitees. The Indemnified Party
shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by
attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party's sole cost and expense;
PROVIDED that if the defendants or parties against which relief is sought in any
such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnified
Parties and, in the reasonable judgment of Olsten in the case of Olsten
Indemnitees and OHS in the case of OHS Indemnitees, a conflict of interest
between such Indemnified Parties and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect
of such claim, such Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ one firm
of counsel selected by Olsten or OHS, as the case may be, and in that event the
reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one
separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be
paid by such Indemnifying Party.

    (d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim,
the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party; PROVIDED that without the prior
written consent of Olsten in the case of Olsten Indemnitees and OHS in the case
of OHS Indemnitees, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any such settlement
unless as a condition to such settlement the Indemnified Party receives a
written release from any and all liability relating to such Third-Party Claim
and such settlement or compromise does not include any remedy or

                                      13
<PAGE>

relief to be applied to or against the Indemnified Party, other than monetary
damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible hereunder.

    (e) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party
Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification under this
Article IV, Olsten in the case of Olsten Indemnitees and OHS in the case of OHS
Indemnitees may pursue the defense of such Third-Party Claim and choose one firm
of counsel in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party is required to
reimburse Olsten or OHS, as the case may be, on a current basis for its
reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney's fees and reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Olsten in the case of Olsten Indemnitees and
OHS in the case of OHS Indemnitees in defending against such Third-Party Claim
and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect
thereto; PROVIDED that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement effected without the consent of Olsten in the case of Olsten
Indemnitees and OHS in the case of OHS Indemnitees, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

    (f) The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the
amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any)
within 15 days after the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim (whether by
the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or
otherwise) or, in the case of any Third-Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying
Party has not acknowledged liability, within 15 days after such Indemnifying
Party's objection has been resolved pursuant to Section 7.15.

    Section 4.05.  INSURANCE PROCEEDS.  The amount that any Indemnifying Party
is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Article IV shall be reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by
any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of
such Indemnified Parties in reduction of the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an
Indemnified Party shall have received the payment required by this Agreement
from an Indemnifying Party in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss and shall
subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds, or other amounts in respect of
such Indemnifiable Loss as specified above, then such Indemnified Party shall
pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such insurance
proceeds or other amounts actually received after deducting therefrom all of the
Indemnified Party's costs and expenses associated with the recovery of any such
amount.

    Section 4.06.  CONTRIBUTION.  If the indemnification provided for in this
Article IV is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any
Indemnifiable Loss arising out of or related to information about OHS, the
Health Subsidiaries or the Health Services Business contained in or omitted from
the OHS Registration Statement, the Adecco Registration Statement or the Olsten
Proxy Statement, then OHS, in lieu of indemnifying the Olsten Indemnitees, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Olsten Indemnitees as a result
of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of OHS, on the one hand, and Olsten, on the other hand, in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Indemnifiable
Loss. The relative fault of the OHS Indemnitees on the one hand and of the
Olsten Indemnitees on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information concerning OHS on the one hand or Olsten on the other hand.

    Section 4.07.  SUBROGATION.  In the event of payment by an Indemnifying
Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such
Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such
Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party
Claim. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a
reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in
prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

                                      14
<PAGE>

    Section 4.08.  THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES.  This Article IV shall inure to
the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Olsten, OHS and Adecco and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. The indemnification provided for by
this Article IV shall not inure to the benefit of any other third party or
parties and shall not relieve any insurer who would otherwise be obligated to
pay any claim of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of
the indemnification provisions hereof, provide any subrogation rights with
respect thereto and each Party agrees to waive such rights against the other to
the fullest extent permitted.

    Section 4.09.  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  The remedies provided in this
Article IV shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any
Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other
remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

    Section 4.10.  SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES.  The obligations of each of Olsten

shall be the responsibility of OHS and shall be reimbursed to Olsten by OHS
promptly upon request by Olsten.

    Section 5.06.  USE OF NAMES.  (a) Following the Effective Time, OHS and the
Health Subsidiaries shall have the sole and exclusive ownership of and right to
use, as between Olsten and each of the Retained Subsidiaries, on the one hand,
and OHS and the Health Subsidiaries, on the other hand, the OHS Names, and each
of the trade marks, trade names, service marks and other proprietary rights
exclusively related to such OHS Names and any trade marks, trade names, service
marks or other proprietary rights mutually agreed among the parties prior to the
Effective Time (the "OHS Proprietary Name Rights"). Following the Effective
Time, Olsten and each of the Retained Subsidiaries shall have the sole and
exclusive ownership of and right to use, as between OHS and the Health
Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Olsten and each of the Retained Subsidiaries,

and other proprietary rights related to such Olsten Names other than the OHS
Proprietary Name Rights and any trade marks, trade names, service marks or other
proprietary rights mutually agreed among the parties prior to the Effective Time
(the "Olsten Proprietary Name Rights"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to the Olsten Names and Olsten Proprietary Name Rights which are listed
on Schedule 8 (the "Licensed Olsten Names"), Olsten hereby grants to OHS and
each of the Health Subsidiaries, a royalty-free license in order for OHS and the
Health Subsidiaries to continue to use the Licensed Olsten Names and have the
full privileges of a licensee with respect to the Licensed Olsten Names for a
period of one year following the Effective Time.

    (b) Following the Effective Time, (x) OHS shall, and shall cause its
subsidiaries and other Affiliates to, take all action reasonably necessary to
cease using, and change as soon as commercially practicable (including by
amending any charter documents), any corporate or other names which are the same
as or confusingly similar to any of the Olsten Names or any of the Olsten
Proprietary Name Rights, and (y) Olsten shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries
and other Affiliates to, take all action reasonably necessary to cease using,
and change as soon as commercially practicable (including by amending any
charter documents), any corporate or other names which are the same as or
confusingly similar to any of the OHS Names or any of the OHS Proprietary Name
Rights.

    (c) The license granted pursuant to Section 5.06(a) shall include the right
to use existing brochures, stationery, labeling, supplies, advertising
materials, office materials and any similar materials bearing any Licensed
Olsten Names until the earlier of (i) the termination of the license, and
(ii) the date such existing materials are exhausted and Olsten and the Retained
Subsidiaries shall have the right to use existing brochures, stationery,
labeling, supplies, advertising materials, office materials and any similar
materials bearing any OHS Names until the earlier of (i) one year after the
Effective Time and (ii) the date such existing materials are exhausted; PROVIDED
that each such Party shall use their reasonable best efforts to (a) replace such
materials with materials that do not use the other's names as promptly as
practicable and (b) to the extent commercially practicable, indicate by sticker
affixed to such materials that the name being used is being used under temporary
limited license from the other party who is the owner or licensor of such name.

    Section 5.07.  MAIL.  After the Closing Date, each of Olsten and OHS may
receive mail, telegrams, packages and other communications properly belonging to
the other. Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each of Olsten
and OHS authorizes the other to receive and open all mail, telegrams, packages
and other communications received by it and not unambiguously intended for the
other party or any of the other party's officers or directors specifically in
their capacities as such, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate
to the business of the receiving party or, to the extent that they do not relate
to the business of the receiving party and do relate to the business of the
other party, or to the extent that they relate to both businesses, the receiving
party shall promptly contact the other party by telephone for delivery
instructions and such mail, telegrams, packages or other communications (or, in
case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) shall promptly be

                                      16
<PAGE>

forwarded to the other party in accordance with its delivery instructions. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 5.07 shall constitute full authorization to
the postal authorities, all telegraph and courier companies and all other
persons to make deliveries to Olsten or OHS, as the case may be, addressed to
either of them or to any of their officers or directors specifically in their
capacities as such. The provisions of this Section 5.07 are not intended to and
shall not be deemed to constitute an authorization by either Olsten or OHS to
permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf, and neither party
is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process
purposes or for any other purpose.

    Section 5.08.  TRANSITION SERVICES.  Following the Effective Time and ending
on the one year anniversary of the Effective Time (such period, the "Transition
Services Period"), Olsten shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
provide, or make available, to OHS and the Health Subsidiaries, at such times
and in such amounts as may be reasonably requested by OHS, the following
services (the "Transition Services") and OHS will pay for such Transition
Services on a cost basis as agreed to by the parties:

        (i) tax preparation and filing services;

        (ii) legal services, to be provided by Olsten's general counsel and
    other internal counsel to the extent consistent with applicable standards of
    professional responsibility;

        (iii) information and technology support services and administrative and
    office services;

        (iv) procurement services; and

        (v) such other additional services as may be reasonably requested by
    OHS; provided that the scope of any services, as well as the time and the
    manner in which such services are to be provided, shall be mutually
    agreeable between the parties.

    Following the end of the calendar month in which any Transition Services are
performed, Olsten shall provide to OHS an invoice (the "Transition Services
Invoice") setting forth in summary detail the Transition Services which were
provided during such calendar month and the appropriate cost thereof. OHS shall
pay Olsten, in a reasonably prompt manner (but in no event later than 30 days)
following the delivery by Olsten of a Transition Services Invoice, the amounts
due with respect to the Transition Services reflected on such Transition
Services Invoice.

    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Transition Services
shall be performed with reasonable care, but no Party hereto shall have any
liability whatsoever to any other Party or any third party for any loss,
liability, damage, cost or deficiency suffered by any such person arising out of
or resulting from providing any Transition Services hereunder.

    Section 5.09.  LEASES OF REAL PROPERTY.  (a) Olsten and OHS shall jointly
and promptly review all instances in which (i) OHS or the Health Subsidiaries
maintain facilities in, or otherwise occupy, real property leased by Olsten or
the Retained Subsidiaries and (ii) Olsten or the Retained Subsidiaries maintain
facilities in or otherwise occupy, real property leased by a Health Subsidiary,
each as set forth on Schedule 7, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts
in each case to either (x) negotiate and enter into a written lease or sublease
incorporating terms and conditions which are fair to both parties, (y) assign
such lease to OHS or Olsten, as the case may be, and OHS or Olsten, as the case
may be, shall accept responsibility for such lease, or (z) terminate the
arrangement on mutually agreeable terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing
shall not apply in any instance (A) involving facilities maintained, or real
property occupied by the Health Subsidiaries that are to be transferred to OHS
in accordance with Section 2.01 or (B) covered by a written lease agreement
between the parties in effect on the date hereof.

    (b) OHS agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to promptly (but
in no event later than six months) after the Effective Time, relocate the
headquarters for the Health Services Business from

                                      17
<PAGE>

175 Broad Hollow Road, Melville, New York 11747 (the "Main Headquarters"). Until
the time when the headquarters of the Health Service Business is relocated OHS
shall be entitled to occupy and use without charge office space at the Main
Headquarters, as shall be reasonably designated by Olsten as necessary to enable
OHS and the Health Subsidiaries to continue to conduct its current operations.

    Section 5.10.  PLEA AGREEMENTS.  OHS agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Plea Agreements dated July 19, 1999 between Kimberly Home Health Care, Inc. and
the United States of America, including those terms governing the retention and
production of information, records and testimony.

    Section 5.11.  INSURANCE POLICIES AND CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION.  (a) POLICIES
AND RIGHTS INCLUDED WITHIN THE TRANSFERRED OHS ASSETS. The Transferred OHS
Assets shall include: (i) any Health Services Business Policies and (ii) any and
all rights of the Health Subsidiaries under any Shared Policies covering
(x) Liabilities arising out of or relating to the conduct of the Health Services
Business prior to the Effective Time and (y) Liabilities arising out of or
relating to the conduct of the Retained Businesses prior to the Effective Time
to the extent any claim is made against OHS or any of the Health Subsidiaries
for such Liabilities, specifically including (in the case of (i) and
(ii) above) rights of indemnity and the right to be defended by or at the
expense of the insurer, with respect to all claims, suits, actions, proceedings,
injuries, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses and excluding rights covered
by Section 5.11(b).

    (b) POLICIES AND RIGHTS INCLUDED WITHIN THE RETAINED ASSETS. The Retained
Assets shall include: (i) any Retained Businesses Policies and (ii) any and all
rights of Olsten and its subsidiaries under any Shared Policies covering
(x) Liabilities arising out of or relating to the conduct of the Retained
Businesses prior to the Effective Time and (y) Liabilities arising out of or
relating to the conduct of the Health Services Business prior to the Effective
Time to the extent any claim is made against Olsten or any of the Retained
Subsidiaries for such Liabilities, specifically including (in the case of
(i) and (ii) above) rights of indemnity and the right to be defended by or at
the expense of the insurer, with respect to all claims, suits, actions,
proceedings, injuries, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses.

    (c) OLSTEN TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE COVERAGE PRIOR TO EFFECTIVE TIME. (i)
Olsten shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain in full force and
effect, at all times up to and including the Effective Time, the Policies and
current coverages and limits of such Policies.

    (ii) To the extent not already provided for by the terms of a Shared Policy,
Olsten shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause OHS and the Health
Subsidiaries, as appropriate, to be named as additional insureds under each such
Policy in respect of Covered Claims arising out of or relating to periods prior
to the Effective Time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall be
construed to require Olsten or any of the Retained Subsidiaries to pay any
additional premium or other charges in respect to, or waive or otherwise limit
any of its rights, benefits or privileges under, any Shared Policy to effect the
naming of OHS and the Health Subsidiaries as such additional insureds.

    (d) OHS RESPONSIBLE FOR ESTABLISHING INSURANCE COVERAGE ON AND AFTER
EFFECTIVE TIME. Commencing on and as of the Effective Time, OHS and each of the
Health Subsidiaries shall be responsible for establishing and maintaining its
own separate insurance programs for activities and claims relating to any period
on or after the Effective Time involving OHS or any of the Health Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding any other agreement or understanding to the contrary, except as
set forth in Section 5.11(e)(i) and (ii) with respect to claims administration
and financial administration of the Shared Policies, as of and after the
Effective Time, neither Olsten nor any of the Retained Subsidiaries shall have
any responsibility for or obligation to OHS or the Health Subsidiaries relating
to insurance matters for any period, whether prior to, at or after the Effective
Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the date hereof to the Effective Time,
Olsten shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to transfer to OHS and the
Health Subsidiaries the Health Services Business Policies and to obtain
insurance (or binders therefor) providing coverage to OHS and the Health
Subsidiaries similar to the coverage provided to the Health Services Business by
the Shared Policies prior to the Split-Off.

    (e) ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURE. (i) OHS and its subsidiaries appoint
Olsten or a Retained Subsidiary, as appropriate, to administer, in good faith,
all claims and finances relating to the Shared Policies, including the
prosecution of any actions for declaratory relief, "bad faith" or other extra-
contractual damages. From and after the Effective Time, Olsten or a Retained
Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall be responsible for the claims administration
and financial administration of all Shared Policies relating to the assets,
ownership or operation prior to the Effective Time of the Health Services
Business; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the responsibility for claims administration
and financial administration of the Shared Policies are in no way intended to
limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage under the Shared
Policies. Olsten shall be entitled to compensation for and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in connection with performing the claims administration and
financial administration of the Shared Policies on a cost basis, as agreed by
the parties and Olsten and OHS shall comply with the provisions of the second
paragraph of Section 5.08 with respect to billing and reimbursement. Olsten
shall use reasonable care and act in good faith with respect to each of its
obligations under Section 5.11.

    (ii) OHS shall promptly notify Olsten of any Covered Claim relating to OHS
or any Health Subsidiary under one or more of the Shared Policies relating to
any period prior to the Effective Time, and OHS agrees to cooperate and
coordinate with Olsten concerning any strategy Olsten may reasonably elect to
pursue to secure coverage and payment for such Covered Claim by the appropriate
insurance carrier. Olsten shall have final authority to compromise, settle or
otherwise resolve any claim or action under any Shared Policy, including,
without limitation, decisions to prosecute any action for declaratory relief,
"bad faith" or other extra-contractual damages; provided, that, as a condition
to any compromise or settlement of any such claim or action on behalf of OHS
(x) Olsten obtains a written release on behalf of OHS for such claim or action
and (y) if such settlement or compromise includes any remedy or relief against
OHS, other than monetary damages within the coverage limits of the applicable
Shared Policy, Olsten shall, prior to entering into any such compromise or
settlement, obtain the consent of OHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in any other agreement or
Shared Policy or any understanding to the contrary, OHS or the appropriate
Health Subsidiary assumes responsibility for, and shall pay to the appropriate
insurance carriers or otherwise, any premiums, reporting endorsements, tails,
noses, retroactive endorsements, retrospectively-rated premiums, defense costs,
indemnity payments, deductibles, retentions or other charges, as appropriate
(collectively, "Insurance Charges"), whenever arising, which shall become due
and payable under the terms and conditions of any Shared Policy in respect of
any liabilities, losses, claims, actions or occurrences, whenever arising or
becoming known, involving or relating to any of the assets, businesses,
operations or liabilities of the Health Services Business, which charges relate
to the period after the Effective Time. To the extent that the terms of any
applicable Shared Policy provide that Olsten or a Retained Subsidiary, as
appropriate, shall have an obligation to pay or guarantee the payment of any
Insurance Charges, Olsten or such Retained Subsidiary shall be entitled to
demand that OHS or a Health Subsidiary make such payment directly to the person
or entity entitled thereto. In connection with any such demand, Olsten shall
submit to OHS or a Health Subsidiary a copy of any invoice received by Olsten or
any Retained Subsidiary pertaining to such Insurance Charges, together with
appropriate supporting documentation, if available. In the event that OHS or any
of the Health Subsidiaries fails to pay any Insurance Charges when due and
payable, whether at the request of the party entitled to payment or upon demand
by Olsten or a Retained Subsidiary, Olsten or a Retained Subsidiary may (but
shall not be required to) pay such Insurance Charges for and on behalf of OHS or
the Health Subsidiary and, thereafter, OHS or the Health Subsidiary shall
forthwith reimburse Olsten or the Retained Subsidiaries for such payment.

    (iii) OHS or a Health Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall be responsible for
all Insurance Charges claims administration and financial administration and
risk management programs relating to the Health Services Business Policies and
any insurance policies established and maintained by OHS and

                                      19
<PAGE>

the Health Subsidiaries for claims relating to any period on or after the
Effective Time involving OHS or any of the Health Subsidiaries.

    (f) ALLOCATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS OF SHARED POLICIES. Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to claims, costs and expenses under the Shared Policies
shall be paid to Olsten with respect to Covered Claims of Olsten and shall be
paid to OHS with respect to Liabilities related to Covered Claims of OHS.
Payment of the allocable portions of indemnity costs of Insurance Proceeds
resulting from Shared Policies will be made to the appropriate party upon
receipt from the insurance carrier. For purposes of the prior sentence,
Insurance Proceeds shall include any damages paid or received from prosecution
of claims on a Shared Policy for "bad faith" or extra-contractual damages. In
the event that the aggregate limits on any Shared Policies are exceeded by the
aggregate outstanding Covered Claims by Olsten and the Retained Subsidiaries and
OHS and the Health Subsidiaries and any of the Covered Claims of Olsten or the
Retained Subsidiaries relate to Liabilities arising out of the Health Services
Business (including, but not limited to, the Shareholder Liabilities) prior to
the Effective Time, Olsten shall be entitled to be paid in full all of the
Insurance Proceeds relating to such Liabilities of the Health Services Business
prior to payment of Insurance Proceeds relating to any other claims of Olsten
and the Retained Subsidiaries or OHS and the Health Subsidiaries. Thereafter, or
in the event there are no such Liabilities of Olsten relating the Health
Services Business prior to the Effective Time, the Insurance Proceeds shall be
allocated pro rata to Olsten and the Retained Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and
OHS and the Health Subsidiaries, on the other hand, based upon their respective
bona fide claims or in such other proportions as the parties shall agree based
on an equitable allocation of Insurance Proceeds. The parties agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts to maximize available coverage under the Shared
Policies applicable to it, and to take all commercially reasonable steps to
recover from all other responsible parties in respect of a Covered Claim to the
extent coverage limits under a Shared Policy have been exceeded or would be
exceeded as a result of such Insured Claim.

    (g) AGREEMENT FOR WAIVER OF CONFLICT AND SHARED DEFENSE. In the event that
Covered Claims of both Olsten and OHS exist relating to the same occurrence,
Olsten and OHS agree to jointly defend and to waive any conflict of interest
necessary to the conduct of that joint defense. Nothing in this Section 5.11
shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the
parties to this Agreement, including those created by this Agreement, by
operation of law or otherwise.

    Section 5.12.  FINANCIAL COVENANTS.  (a) Immediately prior to the Effective
Time (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein):

        (i) Indebtedness for borrowed money plus the deferred purchase price of
    property less cash on hand of OHS and the Health Subsidiaries shall not
    exceed $100 million.

        (ii) Indebtedness for borrowed money plus the deferred purchase price of
    property of OHS and the Health Subsidiaries shall not exceed $150 million.

    OHS and its subsidiaries during the period between July 4, 1999 and the
    Effective Time shall not be less than $0 (excluding restructuring charges in
    connection with the Split-Off) and sales for each of the full monthly
    periods between the date hereof and the Effective Time shall average
    $100 million per month during such period.

        (iv) OHS will have a committed credit facility with a borrowing capacity
    of no less than $100 million.

    (b) Olsten and OHS jointly represent, warrant and covenant that the Retained
Businesses and the Health Services Business shall, between the date hereof and
the Effective Time, be operated in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practice, in nature, manner and amount, including, to the extent
practicable, as to levels and relationships of asset, liability, revenue,
expense, and cash flow

                                      20
<PAGE>

items and totals within the respective businesses (it being understood that
unpaid amounts in respect of settlements of governmental liabilities with
respect to health care operations on terms previously disclosed to Adecco, shall
be considered ordinary course items). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, with respect to Olsten, the Retained Subsidiaries and the Retained
Businesses and, through the True-Up Date, OHS and the Health Services Business,
neither Olsten nor OHS nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall, without
the prior written consent of Adecco, directly or indirectly:

        (i) authorize, permit to make or make any capital expenditures other
    than pursuant to the capital expenditure plan previously provided by Olsten
    to Adecco, or fail to make any investments for capital expenditures
    contemplated by such plan;

        (ii) permit or make any change to the billing processes for services
    rendered or otherwise, other than as may be related to planned system
    improvements and the like, or in the processes, method or terms of
    collection of accounts receivable;

        (iii) cause or permit any discounting, factoring or securitization of
    accounts receivables or any other securitization or consignment of any
    assets;

        (iv) permit or make any change in the aging of accounts payables or in
    the payment practices for accounts payable in effect as of the date hereof
    (which aging and payment practices are consistent with past practice); or

        (v) except for cash transfers made, in the ordinary course of business
    through and reflected in the intercompany loan balance, sell, transfer,
    pledge, mortgage or otherwise dispose of or encumber any assets, except in
    the ordinary course of business and in arms-length transactions and at
    market rates (with the parties acknowledging that the management fees paid
    consistent with past practice fall within such exception).

    (c) To assure conformity with the provisions of clause (b) above and the
other provisions of this Section 5.12, the parties agree that it is the intent
of Section 5.03(a) of the Merger Agreement that representatives of Adecco
reasonably acceptable to Olsten shall be permitted to be present on a daily
basis at the headquarters and other facilities of Olsten to monitor compliance
with such provisions, and Olsten shall fully cooperate with and make all
information reasonably requested promptly available to such monitors. In
addition, and consistent with, and not by way of limitation of, Section 5.03(a)
of the Merger Agreement, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Olsten
shall provide Adecco with (y) pro-forma combined balance sheets, statements of
income, statements of cash flows and statements of shareholders equity as of the
close of business on each of the True-Up Date and the last day of each monthly
period thereafter up to the Closing Date of each of (i) Olsten and the Retained
Subsidiaries and (ii) OHS and the Health Subsidiaries, in each case,
(A) prepared in accordance with US GAAP and (B) giving effect to the Split-Off
and the provisions of Section 2.09 hereof and (z) all work papers of Olsten and
OHS and, as applicable, their respective independent public accountants as of
such dates or related to such balance sheets or statements and all other work
papers in respect of the separation of the Health Services Business and the
Retained Businesses contemplated hereby.

    (d) The parties agree that any breach of this Section 5.12 by either Olsten
or OHS, other than breaches which are insignificant in both nature and effect,
shall cause a covenant of this Agreement to have been materially breached by
Olsten for purposes of Section 10.01(g) of the Merger Agreement and shall
provide Adecco with the right to terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to such
Section 10.01(g), subject to the cure right contained therein.

    Section 5.13.  TAX REFUND ESCROW ACCOUNT.  Olsten agrees to deposit any cash
payments received prior to the Effective Time by Olsten from any Net Operating
Loss Refund Claim into an escrow account (the "Tax Refund Escrow Account") which
shall not be removed from such account until the earlier of (i) the Effective
Time, and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement.

                                      21
<PAGE>

    Section 5.14.  WORKER'S COMPENSATION LETTERS OF CREDIT.  On the Closing
Date, OHS agrees to issue, or have issued on its behalf, a letter of credit to
Olsten in an amount equal to the amount of worker's compensation claims pending
on the Closing Date made by any OHS Employee prior to the Effective Time, as
such amount is mutually agreed upon among the parties hereto, determined on a
basis consistent with the Balance Sheet.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                        RECORDS AND INFORMATION; ACCESS

    Section 6.01.  CORPORATE RECORDS.  (a) Each of Olsten and OHS shall arrange
as soon as practicable following the Closing Date for the delivery to the other
of existing corporate governance documents (e.g. minute books, stock registers,
stock certificates, documents of title, etc.) in its possession relating to the
other or to its business and affairs.

    (b) Except as otherwise required by law or agreed to in writing, each party
shall, and shall cause each of its respective subsidiaries to, retain all
information relating to the other party's business in accordance with the past
practice of such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in the
Tax Sharing Agreement, any party may destroy or otherwise dispose of any
information at any time, providing that, prior to such destruction or disposal,
(a) such party shall provide no less than 90 days prior written notice to the
other party, specifying the information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of,
and (b) if the recipient of such notice shall request in writing prior to the
scheduled date for such destruction or disposal that any of the information
proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such requesting party,
the party proposing the destruction or disposal shall promptly arrange for the
delivery of such of the information as was requested at the expense of the
requesting party.

    Section 6.02.  ACCESS TO INFORMATION.  From and after the Closing Date, each
of Olsten and OHS shall afford the other, including its accountants, counsel and
other designated representatives, reasonable access (including using reasonable
efforts to give access to persons or firms possessing information) and
duplicating rights during normal business hours to all records, books, contacts,
instruments, computer data and other data and information in such party's
possession relating to the business and affairs of the other (other than data
and information subject to an attorney/client or other privilege), insofar as
such access is reasonably required by the other party including, without
limitation, for audit, accounting and litigation purposes, as well as for
purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations.

    Section 7.06.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

    Section 7.07.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws
of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern
under applicable New York principles of conflicts of law) as to all matters,
including but not limited to matters of validity, construction, effect,

unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of the State of New York and of the United States of America located in the
State of New York (the "New York Courts") for any litigation arising out of or
relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees
not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives
any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the New York
Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any New York Court that such
litigation brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of
the parties hereto hereby agrees to service of process in any litigation arising
out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to it at its address
for notice specified in Section 7.05.

    Section 7.08.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement, including the schedules
and exhibits hereto, together with the Ancillary Agreements, embodies the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect to the subject
matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
among the parties with respect thereto. There are no representations, promises,

                                      24
<PAGE>

warranties, covenants or undertakings by any party, other than those expressly
set forth or referred to herein.

    Section 7.09.  ASSIGNMENT; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.  This Agreement and
all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but
neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder
shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent
of the other parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
is intended to confer any benefits, rights or remedies upon any person or
entity, other than Olsten, OHS and Adecco and, in accordance with Article IV,
the Olsten Indemnitees and the OHS Indemnitees.

    Section 7.10.  ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS.  If any of the terms of this Agreement
are inconsistent with the terms of an Ancillary Agreement regarding the specific
matters covered by such Ancillary Agreement, then the terms of such Ancillary
Agreement shall govern.

    Section 7.11.  TAX SHARING AGREEMENT.  Other than as provided in
Section 4.11, Section 5.05 and clause (iv) of the definition of OHS Liabilities,
this Agreement shall not govern any Tax, and any and all claims, losses,
damages, demands, costs, expenses, liabilities, refunds, deductions, write-offs,
or benefits relating to Taxes shall be exclusively governed by the Tax Sharing
Agreement.

    Section 7.12.  FURTHER ASSURANCES AND CONSENTS.  In addition to the actions
specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties
hereto will use its reasonable best efforts to (i) execute and deliver such
further instruments and documents and take such other actions as any other party
may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and
to carry out the terms hereof and (ii) take, or cause to be taken, all actions,
and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable laws, regulations and agreements or otherwise to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including, without limitation, using its reasonable efforts to obtain any
consents and approvals and to make any filings and applications necessary or
desirable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; PROVIDED that no party hereto shall be obligated to pay any
consideration therefor (except for filing fees and other similar charges) to any
third party from whom such consents, approvals and amendments are requested or
to take any action or omit to take any action if the taking of or the omission
to take such action would be unreasonably burdensome to the party or its
business. In connection with the consummation of the transaction contemplated
hereby, the persons listed on Schedule 10 are designated to act as the
"Transition Team" and are authorized to act on behalf of Adecco, Olsten and OHS
in taking any action necessary to consummate the Split-Off. The persons listed
on Schedule 10 who are Adecco employees are authorized to deliver the consent of
Adecco if such consent is required by the terms of this Agreement.

    Section 7.13.  EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES.  The exhibits and schedules hereto
shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same
extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein.

    Section 7.14.  LEGAL ENFORCEABILITY.  Any provision of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without prejudice
to any rights or remedies otherwise available to any party hereto, each party
hereto acknowledges that from and after the Effective Time damages would be an
inadequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and agrees
that the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be specifically enforceable.

    Section 7.15.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  (a) Except as otherwise set forth in
Sections 2.06 and 2.08(c), resolution of any and all disputes arising after the
Effective Time from or in connection with this

                                      25
<PAGE>

Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, whether based on contract, tort,
statute or otherwise, including, but not limited to, disputes over arbitrability
and disputes in connection with indemnification for claims by third parties
(collectively, "Disputes") shall be exclusively governed by and settled in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.15; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing contained herein shall preclude either party from seeking or obtaining
(a) injunctive relief or (b) equitable or other judicial relief to enforce the
provisions hereof or to preserve the status quo pending resolution of Disputes
hereunder.

        (b) Any party hereto (each a "Party") may commence proceedings hereunder
    by delivering a written notice to the other Party providing a reasonable
    description of the Dispute to the other (the "Demand").

        (c) Promptly following a Demand, the Dispute shall be referred to
    representatives of the parties for decision, each party being represented by
    a senior executive officer who has no direct operational responsibility for
    the matters contemplated by this Agreement (the "Representatives"). The
    Representatives shall promptly meet in a good faith effort to resolve the
    dispute. If the Representatives do not agree upon a decision within 30
    calendar days after reference of the matter to them, each of Olsten and OHS
    shall be free to exercise the remedies available to them under
    Section 7.15(d).

        (d) The parties hereby agree to submit all Disputes not resolved by
    negotiation pursuant to Section 7.15(c) to arbitration under the terms
    hereof, which arbitration shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the
    parties, their successors and assigns. The arbitration shall be conducted in
    New York by three arbitrators (the "Panel") acting by majority vote selected
    by agreement of the Parties not later than 10 days after the failure of the
    Representatives to resolve the dispute as set forth in Section 7.15(c) or,
    failing such agreement, by three arbitrators appointed pursuant to the
    Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as
    amended from time to time (the "AAA Rules"). If an arbitrator so selected
    becomes unable to serve, his or her successors shall be similarly selected
    or appointed. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the United
    States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, ET SEQ. and such procedures as
    the Parties may agree, or, in the absence of or failing such agreement,
    pursuant to the AAA Rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with
    such arbitration: (a) each Party shall have the right to audit the books and
    records of the other Party that are reasonably related to the Dispute;
    (b) each Party shall provide to the other, reasonably in advance of any
    hearing, copies of all documents which a Party intends to present in such
    hearing; (c) each party shall be allowed to conduct reasonable discovery
    through written requests for information, document requests, requests to
    admit and depositions, the nature and extent of which discovery shall be
    determined by the Panel, taking into account the needs of the Parties and
    the desirability of making discovery expeditious and cost effective. All
    hearings shall be conducted on an expedited schedule, and all proceedings
    shall be confidential. Either party may at its expense make a stenographic
    record thereof. The Panel shall make a final award not later than 30 days
    after the conclusion of the hearing and receipt of any post-hearing
    submissions requested by the Panel. The award shall be in writing and shall
    specify the factual and legal basis for the award. The fees and expenses of
    the arbitrators shall be shared equally by the Parties and advanced by them
    from time to time as required; PROVIDED that at the conclusion of the
    arbitration, the Panel shall allocate costs and expenses (including the
    costs of the arbitration previously advanced and the fees and expenses of
    attorneys, accountants and other experts) and interest as the Panel
    determines is appropriate among the parties. The arbitrators, whether the
    Panel or those arbitrators appointed under the AAA Rules, shall not be
    empowered to award to any Party any consequential damages, lost profits or
    punitive damages in connection with any Dispute and each party hereby
    irrevocably waives any right to recover such damages.

    Section 7.16.  TITLES AND HEADINGS.  The article and section headings
contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not

provides health benefits.

    "Welfare Plan" shall mean any Plan which provides medical, health,

    2.  TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEES.

    (a) Olsten and OHS shall take all steps necessary or appropriate so that all
of the Employees of Olsten and its subsidiaries are allocated between the Olsten
Retained Business and the Health Services Business in accordance with the
principles set forth in Section 2(b) below, and so that each individual who is
so allocated to the Health Services Business is, as of the Effective Time and
immediately following the Split-Off, an Employee of a member of the OHS Group,
and each individual who is so allocated to the Olsten Retained Business is, as
of the Effective Time and immediately following the Split-Off, an Employee of a
member of the Olsten Group.

    (b) In making the allocation provided for in Section 2(a), Olsten and OHS
shall allocate each Employee who is primarily engaged in the Olsten Retained
Business to the Olsten Group and each Employee who is primarily engaged in the
Health Services Business to the OHS Group. All other Employees shall be
allocated in a mutually agreeable manner that, to the extent possible, takes
into account (i) the Employees' expertise, experience and existing positions and
duties, (ii) the likelihood of unreasonably disrupting either the Olsten
Retained Business or the Health Services Business and (iii) maximizing the
ability of each of the Olsten Group and the OHS Group to manage and operate
their respective businesses after the Effective Time, taking into account the
respective needs of such businesses as established by past practice, and with a
view towards maximizing the value and effectiveness of both the Olsten Retained
Business and the Health Services Business.

    (c) Olsten and OHS each agree that, between the date hereof and the

liabilities for, and arising under all employment and change in control
agreements with respect to Olsten Employees, and OHS shall have no liability or
obligation with respect thereto. As of the Effective Time, OHS shall assume all
obligations and liabilities for and arising under all employment and change in
control agreements with respect to OHS Employees (the "OHS Employment
Agreements"), and Olsten shall have no liability or obligation with respect
thereto. OHS shall take, or cause to be taken, all action necessary and
appropriate to assume, effective as of the Effective Time, all OHS Employment
Agreements, with such changes as may be necessary to reflect the change in the
employer thereunder and such other changes as OHS shall determine. Such OHS
Employment Agreements shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions as in
effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that references to
employment by, or termination of employment with, Olsten and its affiliates
shall be changed to references to employment by or termination of employment
with OHS and its affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, except as otherwise set forth in the Separation Agreement, Olsten
shall retain responsibility for its obligations under (i) the Separation,
Consulting and Non-Competition Agreements between Albert, Olsten and the
following individuals dated August 17, 1999: Edward A. Blechschmidt, William R.
Costantini, Stuart Olsten and Anthony J. Puglisi and (ii) the Separation,
Consulting and Non-Competition Agreement between Olsten and Maureen McGurl dated
August 17, 1999; and OHS shall have no liability under such Agreements.

    (e) As of the Effective Time, (i) Olsten shall retain all liabilities
relating to or arising out of claims made by or on behalf of Olsten Employees
for, or with respect to, benefits under any Plan, contract, agreement, statute,
regulation or other arrangement that provides for the payment of severance pay,
salary continuation, pay in lieu of notice, unused vacation pay, or similar
benefits in connection with actual or constructive termination or alleged actual
or constructive termination of employment (collectively, "Termination Benefits")
relating to the actual or constructive termination or alleged actual or
constructive termination of employment of any Olsten Employee with any member of
the Health Services Business or the Olsten Retained Business, whether before, at
or after the Effective Time, and (ii) OHS shall assume all liabilities relating
to or arising out of claims made by or on behalf of OHS Employees for, or with
respect to, Termination Benefits relating to the actual or constructive
termination or alleged actual or constructive termination of employment of any
OHS Employee with any member of the Health Services Business or the Olsten
Retained Business, whether before, at or after the Effective Time.

    3.  ALLOCATION OF EMPLOYEE LIABILITIES.

    (a) At the Effective Time, except to the extent retained or assumed by
Olsten under this Agreement, OHS shall retain or assume, as the case may be,
responsibility as employer for the OHS Employees. At the Effective Time, except
to the extent assumed by OHS under this Agreement, Olsten shall retain
responsibility as employer for the Olsten Employees.

    (b) As of the Effective Time, OHS shall assume, retain and be liable for all
wages, salaries, welfare, pension, incentive compensation and other
employee-related liabilities and obligations ("Employee Liabilities") with

Employees, and OHS shall have no further liability with respect thereto, and
(ii) as of the Effective Time, OHS shall assume all benefit obligations and all
related rights in connection with any Plan with respect to OHS Employees and
Olsten shall have no further liability with respect thereto.

    (b) OHS Employees shall not continue to be participants in Plans maintained
by the Olsten Group after the Effective Time and, instead, shall be eligible to
participate in applicable Plans maintained by OHS, as determined by OHS, as of
the Effective Time. OHS shall treat service of each OHS Employee with the Olsten
Group before the Effective Time as if such service had been with OHS for
purposes of determining eligibility to participate, eligibility for benefits,
benefit forms and vesting under Plans maintained by OHS.

    5.  QUALIFIED SAVINGS PLANS.

    (a) Olsten currently maintains the Olsten Retirement Savings Plan and the
Olsten 1996 Caregiver/ Assignment Employee 401(k) Plan (collectively, the
"Olsten Savings Plans"). OHS shall establish or otherwise maintain by, or as
soon as practicable after, the Effective Time one or more defined contribution
savings plans designed to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, and to
preserve "protected benefits", within the meaning of Code Section 411(d)(6),
accrued by OHS Employees who are participants under the Olsten Savings Plans as
of the Effective Time (the "OHS Savings Plans"). OHS Employees will receive
credit for all service with the Olsten Group for purposes of eligibility and
vesting under the OHS Savings Plans.

    (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Olsten and OHS shall
cause the trustees of the Olsten Savings Plans to transfer to the trustees or
other funding agents of the OHS Savings Plans, assets (the "Transferred Assets")
of the Olsten Savings Plans equal to the aggregate account balances of the OHS
Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries under the Olsten Savings Plans,
such amounts to be established as account balances or accrued benefits of such
individuals under the OHS Savings Plans. Each such transfer shall comply with
Section 414(1) of the Code and the requirements of ERISA and the regulations
promulgated thereunder. OHS shall cause the trustees or other funding agents of
the OHS Savings Plans to accept the plan-to-plan transfer from the Olsten
Savings Plans trustees, and to credit the accounts of such OHS Employees under
the OHS Savings Plans with amounts transferred on their behalf. The transfer to
the OHS Savings Plans shall be made in cash, securities, other property, or
notes evidencing plan loans to OHS Employees, and any outstanding balances of
plan loans to OHS Employees shall be transferred with the underlying accounts.
The account balances of the OHS Employees shall be valued as of the date on
which their transfer is made, which value shall include the earnings, gains and
losses, appreciation and depreciation of the investment funds in which the
accounts are invested through the date on which the transfer is made.

    (c) Effective on the date of the transfer of assets of the Olsten Savings
Plans to the OHS Savings Plans, (i) OHS and the OHS Savings Plans shall assume
all liabilities to pay benefits in connection with the Transferred Assets, and
(ii) Olsten and the Olsten Savings Plans shall have no further liability to pay
benefits with respect to the Transferred Assets and any liabilities that are
transferred.

    (d) OHS and Olsten shall each make timely payment of their respective
portion of all contributions due and unpaid under the Olsten Savings Plans for
the period prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
the respective portions of any contributions due to the Olsten Savings Plans for
the period prior to the Effective Time shall be based on the following rules:
(1) the contributions attributable to OHS Employees shall be allocated to OHS,
and (2) the contributions attributable to Olsten employees shall be allocated to
Olsten. From and after the Effective Time, (i) matching and discretionary
contributions under the Olsten Savings Plans with

                                     A-4
<PAGE>

respect to Olsten Employees (and there dependents and beneficiaries) will be
made solely by Olsten pursuant to the terms of the Olsten Savings Plans, and
(ii) matching and discretionary contributions under the OHS Savings Plans with
respect to OHS Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) will be made
solely by OHS pursuant to the terms of the OHS Savings Plans.

    (e) Olsten and OHS shall, in connection with the plan-to-plan transfer
described in this Section 5, cooperate in making any and all appropriate filings
required by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS"), or required under the Code or ERISA or any applicable
securities laws and the regulations thereunder, and take all such action as may
be necessary and appropriate to cause such plan-to-plan transfer to take place
as soon as practicable after the Effective Time or otherwise when required by
law. Further, OHS shall seek a favorable IRS determination letter that the OHS
Savings Plans as organized, satisfy all qualification requirements under
Section 401(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such plan-to-plan
transfers shall take place pending issuance of such favorable determination
letter. OHS shall make any necessary amendments on a retroactive basis to the
OHS Savings Plans as required by the IRS to issue the favorable determination
letter described above.

    (f) Olsten shall be responsible for all liabilities incurred by Olsten or
OHS as a result of any failure of the Olsten Savings Plans to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code. OHS shall be responsible for all liabilities
incurred by Olsten or OHS as a result of any failure of the OHS Savings Plans to
be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

    (g) The Olsten Group also maintains the IMI Systems Inc. Savings and
Investment Plan and the IMI Systems Inc. Associates 401(k) Plan (collectively,
the "IMI Plans") for the benefit of the employees of its information technology
services business. Olsten and its subsidiaries shall retain the IMI Plans and
all liability with respect thereto.

    6.  NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLANS.

    (a) Prior to or on the Effective Time, Olsten shall amend the Olsten
Nonqualified Retirement Plan for Selected Management Employees, the Olsten
Supplemental Retirement Plan, the Olsten Nonqualified Savings Plan for Selected
Management Employees, the Olsten Executive Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan
and the Olsten Nonqualified Retirement and Savings Plan (collectively, the
"Olsten Nonqualified Plans") to provide that OHS Employees and their dependents
and beneficiaries shall cease accruing benefits thereunder as of the Effective
Time, and that no benefits shall thereafter be payable under the Olsten
Nonqualified Plans to OHS Employees or their dependents or beneficiaries.

    (b) As of the Effective Time, OHS shall establish or otherwise make
available by, or as soon as practicable after, such date nonqualified plans
substantially similar to the Olsten Nonqualified Plans (collectively, the "OHS
Nonqualified Plans"), corresponding to the Olsten Nonqualified Plans, and shall
assume, under such plans, all liabilities and obligations with respect to OHS
Employees under the Olsten Nonqualified Plans prior to the Effective Time. All
such liabilities and obligations shall cease to be liabilities or obligations of
Olsten as of the Effective Time.

    (c) No termination of an Employee's employment shall be deemed to occur for
purposes of the OHS Nonqualified Plans as a result of any actions taken pursuant
to this Agreement or otherwise as a result of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, provided that the
Employee remains continuously employed by the OHS Group.

    (d) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, OHS shall establish
one or more trusts to be used in connection with the OHS Nonqualified Plans (the
"OHS Trusts") for the purpose of aiding in the provision of benefits under its
OHS Nonqualified Plans. As of the Effective Time, Olsten shall cause the
trustees of the trust agreements under the Olsten Nonqualified Plans (the
"Olsten Trusts") to transfer to the trustees of the corresponding OHS Trusts any
amounts held in the Olsten Trusts attributable to the benefits of OHS Employees.

    (a) Olsten currently maintains the Olsten medical plan, dental plan and
other "employee welfare benefit plans," within the meaning of Section 3(l) of
ERISA (collectively, the "Olsten Welfare Plans"), for the benefit of employees
of Olsten and affiliates and their dependents. Effective as of the Effective
Time, OHS shall establish or otherwise maintain medical, dental and other
welfare plans with substantially similar benefits as the Olsten Welfare Plans
("OHS Welfare Plans"). OHS will offer coverage under the OHS Welfare Plans to
OHS Employees and their dependents immediately after the Effective Time and
shall provide that such employees and dependents shall be eligible for immediate
participation in the OHS Welfare Plans with no interruption of coverage and
shall credit the period of coverage under the Olsten Welfare Plans toward any
preexisting conditions limited under the OHS Welfare Plans. All charges and
expenses of such OHS Employees and their eligible dependents which were applied
to the deductible and out-of-pocket maximums under Olsten' medical or dental
plans during the plan year of OHS in which the Effective Time falls shall be
credited toward any deductible and out-of-pocket maximum applicable in such OHS
plan year. For purposes of this Section 7, a health benefit claim is incurred
when the medical services are rendered, and a life insurance claim is incurred
when the covered person dies. A claim for a hospital admission shall be deemed
to have been incurred on the date of admission to the hospital and shall
continue for the duration of that period of hospital confinement, and costs for
all services provided during that period of hospital confinement shall be
included in the claim. A long-term disability claim shall be deemed to have been
incurred on the date the condition causing the disability rendered the employee
disabled.

their eligible dependents) to remain covered under the Olsten Welfare Plans
through the end of the month in which the Effective Time occurs and OHS or its
successor shall promptly reimburse Olsten for claims incurred during such period
by such participants and their eligible dependents.

Plan (the "Olsten Flex Plan") as of the Effective Time. Those participants in
the Olsten Flex Plan who are OHS Employees shall be eligible for immediate
participation in the OHS Flex Plan. OHS shall assume and fully perform, pay and
discharge all obligations and liabilities of Olsten and the Olsten Flex Plan for
and with respect to the accounts of those Olsten Flex Plan participants who are
OHS Employees.

with respect to each OHS Employee, and OHS will honor these forms until such
time, if any, that such OHS Employee submits a revised form.

    (c) With respect to garnishments, tax levies, child support orders, and wage
assignments in effect with Olsten at the Effective Time, OHS shall honor such

their respective companies, Olsten and OHS will be separate and independent
employers.

    (b) With regard to Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement or
other labor agreement at the Effective Time who are Olsten Employees and become
OHS Employees, Olsten and OHS promise and covenant to each other not to take any
action which disrupts or otherwise negatively impacts the labor relations of the
other. Olsten and OHS will diligently work to substitute the appropriate
employer for Olsten in such collective bargaining agreements and other labor
agreements with respect to OHS Employees.

Employees and OHS Employees, respectively, in accordance with the general terms
and principles of this Agreement.

    16.  NON-U.S. PLANS GENERALLY.  All Plans maintained by the Olsten Group
(the "Foreign Plans") which provide benefits to Employees located outside the
United States, including without limitation expatriates, and to expatriate
Employees located in the United States, and all assets, obligations and
liabilities thereunder, shall be apportioned and allocated between Olsten and
OHS based on the relative participation in and accrued benefits under such
Foreign Plan by Olsten Employees and OHS Employees, respectively, in accordance
with the general terms and principles of this Agreement. Any transfer of assets
or liabilities from a Foreign Plan shall be made on the basis of reasonable
methods

                                     A-8
<PAGE>

and assumptions determined by the local actuarial firm that is, as of the date

the past practice of Olsten, provided that each of Olsten and OHS shall be
entitled to review such methods and assumptions and object to them if they are
unreasonable, and to review all calculations and determinations of the Local
Actuary for accuracy.

construed by the parties hereto or any third party as creating the relationship

the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between such
parties other than the relationship set forth herein.

not limited to, contributions to Plans and the payment of insurance premiums
arising from or related to any of the Plans which are, as set forth in this
Agreement, the responsibility of the other party hereto. Accordingly, Olsten and
OHS shall reimburse each other, as soon as practicable, but in any event within
thirty (30) days of receipt from the other party hereto of appropriate
verification, for all such costs and expenses.

    20.  CREDIT FOR SERVICE PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE TIME.  An OHS Employee shall
be given credit for all years of service with the Olsten Group performed prior

to any particular employee benefit plan, arrangement or practice.

    21.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.  Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended or
does in fact limit the ability of Olsten or OHS, as applicable, in its sole
discretion, from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan, arrangement
or practice which it now maintains or may hereafter establish at any time or for
any reason; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither party shall amend any Plan to the
extent that such amendment would have the effect of increasing the liabilities
of the other party under any Plan of the other party, without such other party's
consent.

compliance with all the terms, covenants, conditions and provision of this
Agreement, or of the right to exercise any such rights or remedies, if any
default by the other party be continued or repeated. No breach of this Agreement

made, and whether the payment is to be made to the Tax Authority directly or to

    2.01 GENERAL RULE.

    (a) OLSTEN LIABILITY. Olsten shall be liable for all Taxes not specifically
allocated to OHS under this Section 2, including, without limitation, all Taxes
specifically allocated to Olsten under this Section 2. Olsten shall indemnify
and hold harmless the OHS Group from and against any liability for Taxes which
Olsten is liable under this Section 2.01(a).

    (b) OHS LIABILITY. OHS shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Olsten Group from and against any liability for, Taxes which are
specifically allocated to OHS under this Section 2.

    (c) TREATMENT OF CERTAIN DEDUCTIONS. For all purposes of this Agreement, any
disallowance on or after the date hereof, pursuant to Section 280G of the Code
(or any similar state or local provision), of the deduction for payments made to
Anthony H. Reeves taken by Olsten on the original Olsten Federal Consolidated
Return and Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax Returns for the taxable
year ended January 1, 1995, in connection with the merger of Lifetime
Corporation with and into Olsten, shall be treated as a disallowed deduction of
a member of the OHS Group. Thus, for example, in determining the OHS Group
Recomputed Federal Tax Liability, the OHS Group Prior Federal Tax Liability, the
OHS Group Recomputed State Tax Liability and the OHS Group Prior State Tax
Liability, any such disallowed deduction shall be treated as an adjustment to
the taxable income (or loss) of the OHS Group at the time such disallowance
occurs.

    2.02 ALLOCATION OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX.

    (a) ALLOCATION OF TAX RELATING TO OLSTEN FEDERAL CONSOLIDATED RETURNS FILED
AFTER THE EFFECTIVE TIME. With respect to any Olsten Federal Consolidated Return
filed after the Effective Time (excluding any amended return), the Consolidated
Tax Liability shall be allocated between the Groups in accordance with the
method prescribed in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1552-1(a)(1) (as in effect on
the date hereof) determined by treating each Group as a single member of the
consolidated group (the "Federal Allocation Method"), and by excluding any items
of income for which Tax liability is allocated pursuant to Section 2.04. For
purposes of such allocation, the excess, if any, of (i) Consolidated Tax
Liability over (ii) Consolidated Tax Liability determined without regard to any
alternative minimum tax liability under Code Section 55 shall be allocated
between the Groups in accordance with their respective amounts of alternative
minimum taxable income, and any corresponding alternative minimum tax credit
shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation of such alternative minimum
tax liability. Any amount so allocated to the OHS Group shall be a liability of
OHS to Olsten under this Section 2. Amounts described in Code Section 1561
(relating to limitations on certain multiple benefits) shall be divided equally
among the Olsten Group and the OHS Group to the extent permitted by the Code.

    (b) ALLOCATION OF OLSTEN FEDERAL CONSOLIDATED RETURN TAX ADJUSTMENTS. If
there is any adjustment to the reported Tax liability with respect to any Olsten
Federal Consolidated Return, or to such Tax liability as previously adjusted,
OHS shall be liable to Olsten for the lesser of:

        (i) the excess (if any) of:

        (A) the Consolidated Tax Liability of the OHS Group computed as if all
    members of the OHS Group included in the Tax Return had filed a consolidated
    Tax Return for such members based on the Tax Items of such members as so
    adjusted, and computed without taking into account any items of income for
    which Tax liability is allocated pursuant to Section 2.04 and any carryback
    of (I) net operating losses arising in the Olsten Federal Consolidated
    Returns for the taxable years ended January 3, 1999 and all subsequent Tax
    Periods, to the extent such net operating losses are reflected in the Olsten
    Federal Consolidated Returns as originally filed or (II) any Olsten Health
    Services Capital Loss (the "OHS Group Recomputed Federal Tax Liability");
    over

        (B) the Consolidated Tax Liability of the OHS Group computed as if such
    members of the OHS Group had filed a consolidated Tax Return for such
    members based on the Tax items of such members as originally reported (or,
    if applicable, as previously adjusted, but only if such Consolidated Tax
    Liability as previously adjusted exceeds such Consolidated Tax Liability as
    originally reported), and computed without taking into account any items of
    income for which Tax liability is allocated pursuant to Section 2.04 and any
    carryback of (I) net operating losses arising in the Olsten Federal
    Consolidated Returns for the taxable years ended January 3, 1999 and all
    subsequent Tax Periods, to the extent such net operating losses are
    reflected in the Olsten Federal Consolidated Returns as originally filed or
    (II) any Olsten Health Services Capital Loss (the "OHS Group Prior Federal
    Tax Liability"); or

        (ii) the amount determined under clause (i)(A).

    If the OHS Group Prior Federal Tax Liability exceeds the OHS Group
Recomputed Federal Tax Liability, Olsten shall be liable to OHS for such excess,
but, except as provided in Section 4.06(b), only to the extent that the OHS
Group Prior Federal Tax Liability immediately before the adjustment exceeds the
OHS Group Prior Federal Tax Liability as originally reported. For purposes of
this Section 2.02(b), if the OHS Group has a net operating loss after taking
into account the adjustments allocable to such group, the OHS Group Recomputed
Federal Tax Liability shall be less than zero to the extent such net operating
loss produces a Tax Benefit in consolidation for any taxable year. For purposes
of this paragraph, the determination and payment of estimated Taxes (including
the determination and payment of any Tax required to be paid with a request for
an extension of time to file a Tax Return) shall not be treated as an adjustment
to the related Consolidated Tax Liability.

    2.03 ALLOCATION OF STATE INCOME TAXES. State Income Taxes shall be allocated
as follows:

        (a) SEPARATE COMPANY TAXES. Except as otherwise provided in
    Section 2.04, in the case of any State Income Tax which is a Separate
    Company Tax, OHS shall be liable for any such Tax imposed on any members of
    the OHS Group.

                                      B-6
<PAGE>

        (b) CONSOLIDATED OR COMBINED STATE INCOME TAXES. In the case of any
    Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax, the liability of OHS with respect
    to such Tax for any Tax Period shall be computed as follows:

           (i) ALLOCATION OF TAX REPORTED ON TAX RETURNS FILED AFTER THE
       EFFECTIVE TIME. In the case of any Consolidated or Combined State Income
       Tax reported on any Tax Return filed after the Effective Time (excluding
       any amended return), OHS shall be liable to Olsten for the State Income
       Tax liability computed as if all members of the OHS Group included in the
       computation of such Tax had filed a Consolidated or Combined Tax Return
       for such OHS Group members based on the income, apportionment factors,
       and other items of such members, and determined by excluding any items of
       income for which Tax liability is allocated pursuant to Section 2.04.

           (ii) ALLOCATION OF COMBINED OR CONSOLIDATED STATE INCOME TAX
       ADJUSTMENTS. If there is any adjustment to the amount of Consolidated or
       Combined State Income Tax reported on any Tax Return, or as previously
       adjusted, the liability of the OHS Group shall be recomputed as provided
       in this subparagraph. OHS shall be liable to Olsten for the lesser of

           (A) the excess (if any) of:

               (1) the State Income Tax liability computed as if all members of
           the OHS Group included in the Tax Return had filed a consolidated or
           combined Tax Return for such members based on the income,
           apportionment factors, and other items of such members as so
           adjusted, and computed without taking into account any items of
           income for which Tax liability is allocated pursuant to Section 2.04
           and any carryback of (I) net operating losses arising in a
           Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax Return for the taxable
           years ended January 3, 1999 and all subsequent Tax Periods, to the
           extent such net operating losses are reflected in the Olsten
           Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax Returns as originally filed
           or (II) any Olsten Health Services Capital Loss (the "OHS Group
           Recomputed State Tax Liability"); over

               (2) the State Income Tax liability computed as if such members of
           the OHS Group had filed a consolidated or combined Tax Return for
           such members based on the income, apportionment factors, and other
           items of such members as originally reported (or, if applicable, as
           previously adjusted, but only if such Tax Liability as previously
           adjusted exceeds such Tax Liability as originally reported), and
           computed without taking into account any items of income for which
           Tax liability is allocated pursuant to Section 2.04 and any carryback
           of (I) net operating losses arising in a Consolidated or Combined
           State Income Tax Return for the taxable years ended January 3, 1999
           and all subsequent Tax Periods, to the extent such net operating
           losses are reflected in the Olsten Consolidated or Combined State
           Income Tax Returns as originally filed or (II) any Olsten Health
           Services Capital Loss (the "OHS Group Prior State Tax Liability"); OR

           (B) the amount determined under clause (A)(1).

If the OHS Group Prior State Tax liability exceeds the OHS Group Recomputed
State Tax liability, Olsten shall be liable to OHS for such excess, but, except
as provided in Section 4.06(b), only to the extent that the OHS Group Prior
State Tax Liability immediately before the adjustment exceeds the OHS Group
Prior State Tax Liability as originally reported. For purposes of this
Section 2.03(b), if the OHS Group has a net operating loss after taking into
account the adjustments allocable to such group, the OHS Group Recomputed State
Tax Liability shall be less than zero to the extent such net operating loss
produces a Tax Benefit in consolidation for any taxable year.

    For purposes of this paragraph, the determination and payment of estimated
Taxes (including the determination and payment of any Tax required to be paid
with a request for an extension of time to

                                      B-7
<PAGE>

file a Tax Return) shall not be treated as an adjustment to the related
Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax.

    2.04 RESTRUCTURING INCOME TAXES AND SECTION 311(B) TAXES. All Restructuring
Income Taxes shall be allocated 50% to Olsten and 50% to OHS. All
Section 311(b) Taxes shall be allocated 100% to OHS, except for the following
Section 311(b) Taxes, which shall be allocated 100% to Olsten: (1) all
Section 311(b) Taxes to the extent such Taxes exceed the Section 311(b) Taxes
that would have been imposed if the parties had not signed and implemented the
Contribution and Sale Agreement and, in lieu thereof, Olsten had distributed the
stock of Olsten Health Services, Inc. in the Split-Off, (2) all Section 311(b)
Taxes resulting from any appreciation in the stock of OHS after February 29,
2000 and (3) all Section 311(b) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for
some action taken (or caused to be taken) by Adecco, Olsten or their Affiliates
after the Effective Time.

    2.05 ALLOCATION OF OTHER TAXES. All Taxes other than Income Taxes shall be
allocated based on the legal entity on which the primary legal incidence of the
Tax is imposed. As between the parties to this Agreement, OHS shall be liable
for all non-Income Taxes imposed on any member of the OHS Group. The Companies
believe that there is no non-Income Tax not specifically allocated pursuant to
Sections 2.02, 2.03 and 2.04 which is legally imposed on more than one legal
entity (e.g., joint and several liability); however, if there is any such Tax,
it shall be allocated in accordance with past practices as reasonably determined
by the affected Companies (as long as there is a reasonable basis to conclude
that the past practice at issue complies with applicable law), or in the absence
of such practices, in accordance with any allocation method agreed upon by the
affected Companies.

    Section 3. PRORATION OF TAXES FOR STRADDLE PERIODS

    3.01 GENERAL METHOD OF PRORATION. In the case of any Straddle Period, Tax
Items shall be apportioned between Pre-Split-Off Periods and Post-Split-Off
Periods in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-76(b) as reasonably interpreted and applied by the Companies. No
election shall be made under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) (relating to ratable allocation of a year's items).
If the Split-Off Date is not an Accounting Cutoff Date, the provisions of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii) will be applied to ratably
allocate the items (other than extraordinary items) for the month which includes
the Split-Off Date.

    3.02 TRANSACTION TREATED AS EXTRAORDINARY ITEM. In determining the
apportionment of Tax Items between Pre-Split-Off Periods and Post-Split-Off
Periods, any Tax Items relating to the Transactions shall be treated as an
extraordinary item described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(C) and shall be allocated to Pre-Split-Off Periods,
and any Taxes related to such items shall be treated under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iv) as relating to such extraordinary item and shall be
allocated to Pre-Split-Off Periods.

    Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (1) all deductions attributable to
payments made under the OHS Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (including,
without limitation, all payments made in connection with a termination of such
plan) shall be allocated to Post-Split-Off Periods and all such deductions shall
be solely for the benefit of OHS (and shall not be claimed by the Olsten Group)
and (2) all deductions attributable to payments made under the Olsten
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (including, without limitation, all
payments made in connection with a termination of such plan) shall be solely for
the benefit of Olsten (and shall not be claimed by the OHS Group).

    Section 4. PREPARATION AND FILING OF TAX RETURNS.

    4.01 GENERAL. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, Tax Returns
shall be prepared and filed when due (including extensions) by the person
obligated to file such Tax Returns under the Code or applicable Tax law. The
Companies shall provide, and shall cause their Affiliates to provide, assistance
and cooperate with one another in accordance with Section 6 with respect to the
preparation and filing of Tax Returns, including providing information required
to be provided in Section 7.

                                      B-8
<PAGE>

    4.02 OLSTEN RESPONSIBILITY. Olsten shall prepare and file, or shall cause to
be prepared and filed, (a) all Olsten Federal Consolidated Returns and (b) all
Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax Returns that include at least one
member of the Olsten Group and at least one member of the OHS Group.

    4.03 TAX ACCOUNTING PRACTICES. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 4.03, any Tax Return for any Pre-Split-Off Period or any Straddle
Period, and any Tax Return for any Post-Split-Off Period to the extent items
reported on such Tax Return might reasonably affect items reported on any Tax
Return for any Pre-Split-Off Period or any Straddle Period, shall be prepared in
accordance with past Tax accounting practices used with respect to the Tax
Returns in question (unless such past practices are no longer permissible under
the Code or other applicable Tax Law), and to the extent any items are not
covered by past practices (or in the event such past practices are no longer
permissible under the Code or other applicable Tax Law), in accordance with
reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by the Responsible Company.

    4.04 CONSOLIDATED OR COMBINED RETURNS. The Companies will elect and join,
and will cause their respective Affiliates to elect and join, in filing
consolidated, unitary, combined, or other similar joint Tax Returns, to the
extent each entity is eligible to join in such Tax Returns, if the Companies
reasonably determine that the filing of such Tax Returns is consistent with past
reporting practices, or in the absence of applicable past practices, will result
in the minimization of the net present value of the aggregate Tax to the
entities eligible to join in such Tax Returns.

    4.05 RIGHT TO REVIEW AND CONSENT TO TAX RETURNS. The Responsible Company
with respect to any Tax Return shall make such Tax Return and related workpapers
available for review and consent (prior to filing) by the other Company (the
"Reviewing Company"), to the extent (i) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for
which the Reviewing Company may be liable or, if the Reviewing Company is OHS,
relates to Tax attributes that may give rise to an indemnification obligation
under Section 4.06(f), (ii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the
Reviewing Company may be liable in whole or in part for any additional Taxes
owing as a result of adjustments to the amount of Taxes reported on such Tax
Return, (iii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the Reviewing Company
may have a claim for Tax Benefits under this Agreement, or (iv) at the request
of the Reviewing Company, if such Tax Return is not described in clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii), but the Reviewing Company reasonably determines that it must
inspect such Tax Return to confirm compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Responsible Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make such Tax
Return available for review and consent as required under this paragraph
sufficiently in advance of the due date for filing such Tax Returns (and in no
event less than 21 days before the due date) to provide the Reviewing Company
with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Tax Returns and
have such Tax Returns modified before filing, taking into account the person
responsible for payment of the tax (if any) reported on such Tax Return and the
materiality of the amount of Tax liability with respect to such Tax Return. The
Companies shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the
review of such Tax Returns and the prior consent of a Reviewing Company shall
not be unreasonably withheld. If there is an unresolved disagreement as to the
prior consent of a Reviewing Company, such disagreement shall be resolved prior
to the due date for filing the Tax Return at issue as provided in Section 13.

    4.06 CLAIMS FOR REFUND, CARRYBACKS, AND SELF-AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS ("ADJUSTMENT
REQUESTS").

    (a) ADJUSTMENT REQUESTS RELATED TO CONSOLIDATED OR COMBINED INCOME TAXES.
Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) below, unless Olsten consents in
writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (i) no Adjustment
Request with respect to any Consolidated or Combined Income Tax for a
Pre-Split-Off Period shall be filed by OHS. Olsten shall be entitled, without
the consent of OHS, to carryback any net operating loss reported on any original
Olsten Federal Consolidated Returns or Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax
Returns (including any portion

                                      B-9
<PAGE>

of such net operating loss attributable to a member of the OHS Group), and
any Olsten Health Services Capital Loss, and shall be entitled to 100% of any
resulting Tax Benefit; PROVIDED that control of any Tax Contest with respect
to any such carryback refund claim shall be governed by Section 8.02 and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no net operating loss or capital loss described in
this sentence shall be carried back by Olsten to a taxable year ended prior
to December 29, 1996. Subject to the preceding sentence, without the prior
written consent of OHS (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), no member
of the Olsten Group shall seek an Adjustment Request or consent to an
adjustment with respect to any Pre-Split-Off Period if the requested
adjustment would materially increase any payment or indemnification
obligation of any member of the OHS Group under this Agreement. Any
Adjustment Request made in accordance with this Section 4.06 shall be
prepared and filed by the Responsible Company for the Tax Return to be
adjusted. The Company requesting the Adjustment Request shall provide to the
Responsible Company all information required for the preparation and filing
of such Adjustment Request in such form and detail as reasonably requested by
the Responsible Company.

    (b) EXCEPTION FOR ADJUSTMENT REQUESTS RELATED TO AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS. Each of
the Companies shall be entitled, without the consent of the other Company, to
file (or request the other Company to file) an Adjustment Request with respect
to any Pre-Split-Off Tax-Period to take into account any net operating loss, net
capital loss, deduction, credit, or other adjustment attributable to such
Company or any member of its Group corresponding to any adjustment resulting
from any audit by the Internal Revenue Service or other Tax Authority with
respect to Consolidated or Combined Income Taxes for any other Pre-Split-Off Tax
Period.

    For example, if the Internal Revenue Service requires a Company to
capitalize an item deducted for the taxable year 1993, the Company shall be
entitled, without the consent of the other Company, to file (or request to be
filed) an Adjustment Request for the taxable year 1994 (and later years) to take
into account any depreciation or amortization deductions in such years directly
related to the item capitalized in 1993.

    Any refund received pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) shall be for the
benefit of the Group whose loss or other tax attribute gave rise to such refund.

    (c) OTHER ADJUSTMENT REQUESTS PERMITTED. Nothing in this Section 4.06 shall
prevent any Company or its Affiliates from filing any Adjustment Request with
respect to Income Taxes which are not Consolidated or Combined Income Taxes or
with respect to any Taxes other than Income Taxes. Any refund or credit obtained
as a result of any such Adjustment Request (or otherwise) shall be for the
account of the person liable for the Tax under this Agreement.

    (d) PAYMENT OF REFUNDS. Any refunds or other Tax Benefits received by any
Company (or any of its Affiliates) as a result of any Adjustment Request which
are for the account of another Company (or member of such other Company's Group)
shall be paid by the Company receiving (or whose Affiliate received) such refund
or Tax Benefit to such other Company within 10 business days of receipt.

    (e) NO REATTRIBUTION OF LOSSES OF THE OHS GROUP. Olsten shall not make, and
shall not cause or permit to be made, any election pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1502-20(g) or any other election that would have the effect
of reattributing net operating losses or other tax attributes of any member of
the OHS Group.

    (f) INDEMNIFICATION OF OLSTEN FOR CERTAIN DISALLOWED CARRYBACKS.

    If a refund attributable to a claimed carryback of any OHS Consolidated NOL
for the taxable year ended January 3, 1999 or any subsequent taxable year to a
taxable year ended on or after December 29, 1996 is denied in whole or in part
solely because such OHS Consolidated NOL is disallowed in whole or in part, OHS
shall indemnify Olsten for the resulting reduction in Olsten's carryback refund.
The resulting reduction in an Olsten carryback refund shall be computed
(i) without

                                      B-10
<PAGE>

taking into account any Tax attribute attributable to members of the Olsten
Group that is utilized by Olsten in lieu of the disallowed OHS Consolidated
NOL to obtain a refund of the Taxes that were the subject of the disallowed
refund claim, except to the extent that such Olsten Group Tax attribute would
not have provided a Tax Benefit to the Olsten Group in any subsequent Tax
Period, (ii) by taking into account any other Tax attribute attributable to
any member of the OHS Group (including, without limitation, any other OHS
Consolidated NOL described in this section 4.06(f)) that is utilized by
Olsten (or any other member of the Olsten Group) at any time (in accordance
with this Agreement) in lieu of the disallowed OHS Consolidated NOL to obtain
a refund of the Taxes that were the subject to the disallowed refund claim
and (iii) without taking into account any disallowed refund of any Taxes paid
after December 31, 1999 by any member of the Olsten Group or the OHS Group.

    Section 5. TAX PAYMENTS AND INTERCOMPANY BILLINGS.

    5.01 PAYMENT OF TAXES WITH RESPECT TO OLSTEN FEDERAL CONSOLIDATED RETURNS
FILED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE TIME. In the case of any Olsten Federal Consolidated
Return the due date for which (including extensions) is after the Effective
Time,

        (a) COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT OF TAX DUE. At least ten business days prior
    to any Payment Date, Olsten shall compute the amount of Tax required to be
    paid to the Internal Revenue Service (taking into account the requirements
    of Section 4.03 relating to consistent accounting practices) with respect to
    such Tax Return on such Payment Date and Olsten will pay such amount to the
    Internal Revenue Service on or before such Payment Date.

        (b) COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT OF OHS LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO TAX DUE.
    Within 5 days following any Payment Date, OHS will pay to Olsten the excess
    (if any) of:

           (i) the Consolidated Tax Liability determined as of such Payment Date
       with respect to the applicable Tax Period allocable to the members of the
       OHS Group as determined by Olsten in a manner consistent with the
       provisions of Section 2.02(a) (relating to allocation of the Consolidated
       Tax Liability in accordance with the Federal Allocation Method) (the
       "Allocated Federal Tax Liability"), over

           (ii) the cumulative net payments with respect to such Tax Return
       prior to such Payment Date by the members of the OHS Group (the
       "Cumulative Federal Tax Payment").

        If the OHS Group Cumulative Federal Tax Payment is greater than the OHS
    Group Allocated Federal Tax Liability as of any Payment Date, then Olsten
    shall pay such excess to OHS within 5 days of Olsten' receipt of the
    corresponding Tax Benefit (I.E., through either a reduction in Olsten'
    otherwise required Tax payment, or a refund of prior tax payments).

        (c) INTEREST ON INTERGROUP TAX ALLOCATION PAYMENTS. In the case of any
    payments to Olsten required under paragraph (b) of this subsection 5.01, OHS
    shall also pay to Olsten an amount of interest computed at the Prime Rate on
    the amount of the payment required based on the number of days from the
    applicable Payment Date to the date of payment. In the case of any payments
    by Olsten required under paragraph (b) of this subsection 5.01, Olsten shall
    also pay to OHS an amount of interest computed at the Prime Rate on the
    amount of the payment required based on the number of days from the date of
    receipt of the Tax Benefit to the date of payment of such amount to the
    payee.

    5.02 PAYMENT OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX RELATED TO ADJUSTMENTS.

    (a) ADJUSTMENTS RESULTING IN UNDERPAYMENTS. Olsten shall pay to the Internal
Revenue Service when due any additional Federal Income Tax required to be paid
as a result of any adjustment to the Tax liability with respect to any Olsten
Federal Consolidated Return for any Pre-Split-Off Period. Olsten shall compute
the amount attributable to the OHS Group in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and
OHS shall pay to Olsten any amount due Olsten under Section 2.02(b) within
5 days from the later of (i) the

                                      B-11
<PAGE>

date the additional Tax was paid by Olsten or (ii) the date of receipt by OHS
of a written notice and demand from Olsten for payment of the amount due,
accompanied by evidence of payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid
and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Any
payments required under this Section 5.02(a) shall include interest computed
at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the date the additional
Tax was paid by Olsten to the date of the payment under this Section 5.02(a).

    (b) ADJUSTMENTS RESULTING IN OVERPAYMENTS. Within 5 days of receipt by
Olsten of any Tax Benefit resulting from any adjustment to the Consolidated Tax
Liability with respect to any Olsten Federal Consolidated Return for any
Pre-Split-Off Period, Olsten shall pay to OHS, or OHS shall pay to Olsten (as
the case may be), their respective amounts due from or to Olsten as determined
by Olsten in accordance with Section 2.02(b). Any payments required under this
Section 5.02(b) shall include interest computed at the Prime Rate based on the
number of days from the date the Tax Benefit was received by Olsten to the date
of payment to OHS under this Section 5.02(b).

    5.03 PAYMENT OF STATE INCOME TAX WITH RESPECT TO RETURNS FILED AFTER THE
EFFECTIVE TIME.

    (a) COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT OF TAX DUE. At least ten business days prior to
any Payment Date for any Tax Return with respect to any State Income Tax, the
Responsible Company shall compute the amount of Tax required to be paid to the
applicable Tax Authority (taking into account the requirements of Section 4.03
relating to consistent accounting practices) with respect to such Tax Return on
such Payment Date and:

        (i) If such Tax Return is with respect to a Consolidated or Combined
    State Income Tax, Olsten will pay such amount to such Tax Authority on or
    before such Payment Date.

        (ii) If such Tax Return is with respect to a Separate Company Tax, the
    Responsible Company shall, if it is not the Company liable for the Tax
    reported on such Tax Return, notify the Company liable for such Tax in
    writing of the amount of Tax required to be paid on such Payment Date. The
    Company liable for such Tax will pay such amount to such Tax Authority on or
    before such Payment Date.

                                      B-12
<PAGE>

    5.04 PAYMENT OF STATE INCOME TAXES RELATED TO ADJUSTMENTS.

    (a) ADJUSTMENTS RESULTING IN UNDERPAYMENTS. Olsten shall pay to the
applicable Tax Authority when due any additional State Income Tax required to be
paid as a result of any adjustment to the tax liability with respect to any Tax
Return for any Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax for any Pre-Split-Off
Period. OHS shall pay to Olsten its respective share of any such additional Tax
payment determined by Olsten in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii) within
5 days from the later of (i) the date the additional Tax was paid by Olsten or
(ii) the date of receipt by OHS of a written notice and demand from Olsten for
payment of the amount due, accompanied by evidence of payment and a statement
detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable detail the particulars
relating thereto. OHS shall also pay to Olsten interest on its respective share

the additional Tax was paid by Olsten to the date of its payment to Olsten under
this Section 5.04(a).

    (b) ADJUSTMENTS RESULTING IN OVERPAYMENTS. Within 5 days of receipt by
Olsten of any Tax Benefit resulting from any adjustment to the tax liability
with respect to any Tax Return for any Consolidated or Combined State Income Tax
for any Pre-Split-Off Period, Olsten shall pay to OHS its respective share of
any such Tax Benefit determined by Olsten in accordance with
Section 2.03(b)(ii). Olsten shall also pay to OHS interest on its respective
share of such Tax Benefit computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days
from the date the Tax Benefit was received by Olsten to the date of payment to
OHS under this Section 5.04(b).

    5.05 PAYMENT OF SEPARATE COMPANY TAXES. Each Company shall pay, or shall
cause to be paid, to the applicable Tax Authority when due all Separate Company

    5.06 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS. If any Company (the "payor") is required to
pay to a Tax Authority a Tax that another Company (the "responsible party") is
required to pay to such Taxing Authority under this Agreement, the responsible
party shall reimburse the payor within 30 days of delivery by the payor to the
responsible party of an invoice for the amount due, accompanied by evidence of
payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable
detail the particulars relating thereto. The reimbursement shall include
interest on the Tax payment computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of
days from the date of the payment to the Tax Authority to the date of
reimbursement under this Section 5.06.

                                      B-13
<PAGE>

    6.02 INCOME TAX RETURN INFORMATION. Each Company will provide to the other
Company information and documents relating to their respective Groups required
by the other Company to prepare Tax Returns. The Responsible Company shall
determine a reasonable compliance schedule for such purpose in accordance with
Olsten's past practices. Any additional information or documents the Responsible
Company requires to prepare such Tax Returns will be provided in accordance with
past practices, if any, or as the Responsible Company reasonably requests and in
sufficient time for the Responsible Company to file such Tax Returns timely.

    Section 7. TAX RECORDS

    7.01 RETENTION OF TAX RECORDS. Except as provided in Section 7.02, each
Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the
assets and activities of their respective Groups for Pre-Split-Off Tax Periods,
and Olsten shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of
the Groups for Pre-Split-Off Tax Periods, for so long as the contents thereof
may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other
applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of
any applicable statutes of limitations, and (ii) seven years after the Effective
Time. If, prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and
such seven-year period, a Company reasonably determines that any Tax Records
which it is required to preserve and keep under this Section 7 are no longer
material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable
Tax Law, such Company may dispose of such records upon 90 days prior notice to
the other Companies. Such notice shall include a list of the records to be
disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record
accumulation being disposed. The notified Companies shall have the opportunity,
at their cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such 90-day period, all or
any part of such Tax Records.

    7.02 STATE INCOME TAX RETURNS. Tax Returns with respect to State Income
Taxes and workpapers prepared in connection with preparing such Tax Returns
shall be preserved and kept, in accordance with the guidelines of Section 7.01,
by the Company responsible for preparing and filing the applicable Tax Return.

    7.03 ACCESS TO TAX RECORDS. The Companies and their respective Affiliates
shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal
business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records in their possession to the
extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the
preparation of Tax Returns, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under
this Agreement.

    Section 8. TAX CONTESTS

    8.01 NOTICE. Each of the parties shall provide prompt notice to the other
parties of any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or
other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware related to Taxes for which it may be
indemnified by the other party hereunder (including, without limitation, any
carryback refund claim that could result in an indemnification obligation under
Section 4.06(f)). Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent
known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be
accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax
Authority in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified party has knowledge
of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be
indemnified hereunder and such party fails to give the indemnifying party prompt
notice of such asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the indemnifying party has no
remaining forum in which to contest the asserted Tax liability as a result of
the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying party shall have no
obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for any Taxes arising out of such
asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if clause (i) does not apply, but such failure
to give prompt notice actually and materially prejudiced the indemnifying party,
then any amount which the indemnifying party is otherwise required to pay the
indemnified party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced, but only to the
extent the indemnifying party was actually and materially prejudiced.

    8.02 CONTROL OF TAX CONTESTS.

    (a) SEPARATE COMPANY TAXES. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to
any Separate Company Tax, the Company having liability for the Tax shall have
exclusive control over the Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with
respect to any settlement of such Tax liability.

    (b) CONSOLIDATED OR COMBINED INCOME TAXES. In the case of any Tax Contest
with respect to any Consolidated or Combined Income Tax, (i) Olsten shall
control the defense or prosecution of the portion of the Tax Contest directly
and exclusively related to any Olsten Adjustment, including settlement of any
such Olsten Adjustment, (ii) OHS shall control the defense or prosecution of the
portion of the Tax Contest directly and exclusively related to any OHS
Adjustment, including any settlement of any OHS Adjustment, and (iii) a
committee ("the Tax Contest Committee") shall control the defense or prosecution
of Joint Adjustments and any and all administrative matters not directly and
exclusively related to any Olsten Adjustment or OHS Adjustment. The Tax Contest
Committee shall be comprised of two persons, one person selected by OHS (as
designated in writing to Olsten) and one person selected by Olsten (as
designated in writing to OHS). Each person serving on the Tax Contest Committee
shall continue to serve unless and until he or she is replaced by the party
designating such person. Any and all matters to be decided by the Tax Contest
Committee shall require the unanimous approval of both persons serving on the
committee. A Company shall not agree to any Tax liability for which another
Company may be liable under this Agreement, shall not settle or compromise any
other Tax Claim which may give rise to an indemnification obligation of another
Company, and shall not settle or compromise any claim for any Tax Benefit to
which another Company may be entitled under this Agreement, without such other
Company's written consent (which consent may be given or withheld at the sole
discretion of the Company from which the consent would be required).

    Section 9. EFFECTIVE DATE; TERMINATION OF PRIOR INTERCOMPANY TAX
ALLOCATION AGREEMENTS. This Agreement shall become effective at the Effective
Time. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason,
notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Agreement shall terminate
and no party shall have any liability to any other party pursuant to this
Agreement. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) all Prior
Intercompany Tax Allocation Agreements shall be terminated, and (ii) any
remaining obligations under such agreements as of the Split-Off Date shall be
canceled as of the Split-Off Date. Upon such termination and cancellation, no
further payments by or to the Olsten Group or by or to the OHS Group with
respect to such agreements shall be made, and all other rights and
obligations resulting from such agreements between the Companies and their
Affiliates shall cease at such time. Any payments pursuant to such agreements
shall be ignored for purposes of computing amounts due under this Agreement.

    Section 10. SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. The representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and
absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.

    Section 11. EMPLOYEE MATTERS. Each of the Companies agrees to utilize, or
cause its Affiliates to utilize, the alternative procedure set forth in Revenue
Procedure 84-77, 1984-2 C.B. 753, with respect to wage reporting.

    Section 12. TREATMENT OF PAYMENTS; TAX GROSS UP

    12.01 TREATMENT OF TAX INDEMNITY PAYMENTS. In the absence of any change in
tax treatment under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, any Tax indemnity
payments made by a Company under Section 5 shall be reported for Tax purposes by
the payor and the recipient in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1552-1(b), but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax
allocated to the payor in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax
Laws).

                                      B-15
<PAGE>

    12.02 TAX GROSS UP. If, notwithstanding the manner in which Tax indemnity
payments is reported, there is an adjustment to the Tax liability of a Company
as a result of its receipt of a payment pursuant to this Agreement, such payment
shall be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of such payment, reduced by
the amount of all Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but
taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of
such Income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment which the Company
receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this
Agreement.

    12.03 INTEREST UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, to the extent one Company ("indemnitor") makes a payment of
interest to another Company ("indemnitee") under this Agreement with respect to
the period from the date that the indemnitee made a payment of Tax to a Tax
Authority to the date that the indemnitor reimbursed the indemnitee for such Tax
payment, or with respect to the period from the date that the indemnitor
received a Tax Benefit to the date the indemnitor paid the Tax Benefit to the
indemnitee, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the
indemnitor (deductible to the extent provided by law) and as interest income by
the indemnitee (includible in income to the extent provided by law). The amount
of the payment shall not be adjusted under Section 12.02 to take into account
any associated Tax Benefit to the indemnitor or increase in Tax to the
indemnitee.

    Section 13. DISAGREEMENTS. If after good faith negotiations the parties
cannot agree on the application of this Agreement to any matter (including,
without limitation, whether the prior consent of a Reviewing Company was
unreasonably withheld under Section 4.05), then the matter will be referred to a
nationally recognized accounting firm acceptable to each of the parties (the
"Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall furnish written notice to the
parties of its resolution of any such disagreement as soon as practical, but in
any event no later than 45 days after its acceptance of the matter for
resolution or, in the event of a disagreement relating to the filing of a Tax
Return, within 10 days of its acceptance of such matter for resolution. Any such
resolution by the Accounting Firm will be conclusive and binding on all parties
to this Agreement. In accordance with Section 15, each party shall pay its own
fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives)
incurred in connection with the referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm.
All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with such referral
shall be shared equally by the parties affected by the matter.

    Section 14. LATE PAYMENTS. Any amount owed by one party to another party
under this Agreement which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime
Rate plus two percent, compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment
to the date paid. To the extent interest required to be paid under this
Section 14 duplicates interest required to be paid under any other provision of
this Agreement, interest shall be computed at the higher of the interest rate
provided under this Section 14 or the interest rate provided under such other
provision.

    Section 15. EXPENSES. Except as provided in Section 13, each party and its
Affiliates shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with preparation
of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the
provisions of this Agreement.
