ROMAC INTERNATIONAL, INC. PROXY STATEMENT ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY SOLICITATION INFORMATION This proxy statement is first being sent to shareholders on or about April 4, 1997, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Romac International, Inc. (the "Company"), to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 25, 1997, and at any adjournment thereof (the "Meeting"). The close of business on March 14, 1997, has been fixed as the record date of the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, the Company had outstanding 12,033,912 shares of $.01 par value common stock, entitled to one vote per share. Shares represented by duly executed proxies in the accompanying form received by the Company prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting. If shareholders specify in the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted as specified. If a proxy card is signed and returned without specifying a vote or an abstention on any proposal, it will be voted according to the recommendation of the Board of Directors on that proposal. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of directors listed on the proxies, FOR the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, and FOR the amendment of the Romac International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that may be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented for action, it is the intention of the named proxies to vote on them according to their best judgment. Shareholders who hold their shares through an intermediary must provide instructions on voting as requested by their bank or broker. A shareholder who signs and returns a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by taking one of the following three actions: (i) giving written notice of the revocation to the Secretary of the Company; (ii) executing and delivering a proxy with a later date; or (iii) voting in person at the Meeting. Approval of the election of directors will require a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting, provided a quorum is present. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by one or more inspectors of election appointed at the Meeting, who will also determine whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present in the determination of whether shares of the Company's common stock represented at the Meeting constitute a quorum. With respect to matters to be acted upon at the Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for the purpose of determining whether a proposal has been approved. The expense of preparing, printing, and mailing proxy materials to shareholders of the Company will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitations by mail, regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors in person or by telephone. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their expenses in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners of the Company's stock. The executive offices of the Company are located at 120 West Hyde Park Place, Suite 150, Tampa, Florida 33606, the Company's telephone number is (813)251-1700. 4

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of the common stock of the Company, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors, and ten percent shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it, and written representations from certain reporting persons that no SEC Forms 3, 4, or 5 were required to be filed by those persons, the Company believes that during 1996, its officers, directors and ten percent beneficial owners timely complied with all applicable filing requirements, except those relating to a Form 4 required to be filed by Ms. Rorech, which was filed late. 10

The employment agreements also provide that upon a change in control of the Company each executive would be entitled to receive an immediate lump sum payment equal to twice the executive's annual salary, subject to certain limitations. In general, a change in control is defined by the employment agreements to be any replacement of 50% or more ofthe directors of the Company that follows and is directly or indirectly the result of certain extraordinary corporate occurrences, such as a merger or other business combination involving the Company, a tender offer for the Company's stock, a solicitation of proxies other than by the Company's management or Board of Directors, or an acquisition by a person or group of 25% or more of the Company's stock.

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") is comprised of the two outside Directors of the Company, Messrs. Tunstall and Carey and the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dunkel. It is the Committee's responsibility to review the Company's executive compensation program and policies each year and to determine the compensation of the Company's executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer submits his recommendations for compensation of the other executive officers to the Committee for its approval. The Company is committed to maximizing shareholder value through superior financial performance and business growth. The Committee's fundamental policy is to offer the Company's executive officers competitive compensation opportunities based upon their personal performance, the financial performance of the Company, and their contribution to that performance. It is the Committee's objective to align the interests of the executive officers to those of the shareholders by making a substantial portion of their compensation contingent upon the Company's performance. Messrs. Dunkel, Sutter and Dominici have substantial equity holdings in the Company and are therefore closely aligned with shareholders interests. Mr. Swartz has substantial equity incentives which also closely aligns him to shareholder interests. For the remaining term of the executive officers' employment agreements, the primary objective of the Committee is to establish a base salary for each executive officer which reflects individual performance and is competitive with salary levels of similar sized companies.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS The Company leases office space from a limited partnership in which David L. Dunkel, Howard W. Sutter, and Richard M. Cocchiaro, officers and directors of the Company, are limited partners. Payments under the lease are approximately $27,000 per month, expiring in 2001. Total lease payments to the partnership were approximately $165,000, $266,000, and $300,000 in 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. The Company believes the lease payments are comparable to those that would be made to an unrelated third party. In 1995, the Company entered into split dollar and cross-purchase split dollar life insurance agreements with Messrs. Dunkel, Sutter and Cocchiaro and Ms. Rorech and their estates whereby the Company pays a portion of the life insurance premiums on behalf of the officers and their estates. The Company has been granted a security interest in the cash value and death benefit of each policy equal to the amount of the cumulative premium payments made by the Company. The intent of these agreements is to, in the event of an executive officer's/director's death, provide liquidity to pay estate taxes and to provide surviving executive officers/directors with the ability to purchase shares from a deceased executive officer's/director's estate, minimizing the possibility of a large block of the Company's common shares being put on the open market to the potential detriment of the Company's market price and to allow the Company to maintain a concentration of voting power among its executive officers/directors. The total premiums paid during 1995 and 1996 were approximately $381,000 and $337,000, respectively, and are included in the Company's financial statements as related party receivables at December 31, 1995 and 1996. 14

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors of the Company is divided into three classes of directors. The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that at each annual election, directors shall be chosen by class for a term of three years, to preserve, as evenly as practicable, the division of directors into classes. The current terms of the three classes of directors expire in 1997 (Class III directors), 1998 (Class I directors) and 1999 (Class II directors). The Board of Directors has nominated David L. Dunkel, Howard W. Sutter and W.R. Carey, Jr., to stand for election at the Meeting for the Class III director seats. Each of such nominees' current terms will expire on the date of the Meeting. The Board of Directors has also nominated James D. Swartz to stand for election at the Meeting for a Class I director seat and Todd W. Mansfield to stand for election at the Meeting for a Class II director seat. See "Management - Directors and Executive Officers" for information on such nominees. Unless otherwise indicated, votes will be cast pursuant to the accompanying proxy FOR the election of these nominees. Should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election for any reason, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors, which has no reason to believe the nominees named will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected. PROPOSAL 2 - AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK The Board of Directors has approved a resolution amending the Company's Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, from 15.0 million shares to 100.0 million shares. The Board of Directors directed that the proposal to increase the Company's authorized Common Stock be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval and adoption at the Meeting. The increase in the number of authorized shares will facilitate using the Company's stock in any future acquisitions and will also make future stock dividends possible. The Company has no present plans to issue any of the increased authorized Common Stock. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR this proposal. PROPOSAL 3 - APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE ROMAC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN On October 18, 1996 and February 7, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and approved its submission to the shareholders for their approval. The name of the Plan as amended on October 18, 1996, is Romac International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan was initially adopted in 1994 and was amended by the Board of Directors and by the shareholders in March 1995, September 1995 and March 1996. 17
PRE 14A18th Page of 34TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
The October 18, 1996, amendment expanded the Plan in order to further the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing incentives in the form of both incentive and nonqualified stock option grants, stock appreciation right grants and restricted stock grants to employees who contribute materially to the success and profitability of the Company. The February 7, 1997, amendment to the Plan increases the number of shares available for purchase under the Plan from 3.0 million shares to 4.5 million shares and modifies the provisions of the Plan relating to the administration and amendment of the Plan in order to reflect changes to recent revisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 16b-3"). Prior to the February 7, 1997, amendment, the Plan required shareholder approval of an amendment to the Plan that would (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, (ii) increase the aggregate number of shares of the Company's stock that may be delivered under the Plan, (iii) materially modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan, or (iv) amend the requirements described in (i), (ii) and (iii) of this sentence. The purpose of this provision was to comply with the requirements of former Rule 16b-3 that shareholders must approve such amendments. The recent revisions to Rule 16b-3 included an elimination of a requirement that shareholders must approve such amendments. To reflect this revision to Rule 16b-3, the Board amended the Plan to provide that the Board may condition any amendment on the approval of the shareholders of the Company if such approval is necessary or advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws to which the Company, the Plan, recipients or eligible persons are subject. As of March 20, 1997, approximately 1,571,000 options to acquire shares are outstanding pursuant to the Plan. It is estimated that approximately 750 individuals currently participate in the Plan. As of March 20, 1997 approximately 1,024,000 shares remained available for grant pursuant to the Plan. The Board of Directors, in order to ensure that the Company has an adequate number of shares available to grant to its current and future employees to enable it to attract and retain individuals of training, experience and ability, believes an increase in the number of shares to be necessary. The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote FOR this proposal. INFORMATION CONCERNING INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS The Company's Board of Directors has appointed Price Waterhouse LLP independent accountants to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ending December 31, 1997. Representatives of Price Waterhouse LLP are expected to be present at the Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions posed by shareholders. 18

The Committee, in the exercise of its powers, may correct any defect or supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, or in any Agreement, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

ELIGIBILITY. Any Eligible Person that the Committee in its sole discretion designates is eligible to receive an Award under this Plan. The Committee's grant of an Award to a Recipient in any year does not require the Committee to grant an Award such Recipient in any other year. Furthermore, the Committee may grant different Awards to different Recipients and has full discretion to choose whether to grant Awards to any Eligible Person. The Committee may consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Recipients and in determining the types and sizes of their Awards, including, without limitation, (i) the financial condition of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) expected profits for the current or future years; (iii) the contributions of a prospective Recipient to the profitability and success of the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (iv) the adequacy of the prospective Recipient's other compensation. Recipients may include persons to whom stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, or other benefits previously were granted under this or another plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, whether or not the previously granted benefits have been fully exercised or vested. A Recipient's right, if any, to continue to serve the Company and its Subsidiaries as an officer, Employee, or otherwise will not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his designation as a Recipient under this Plan, and such designation will not in any way restrict the right of the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, to terminate at any time the employment or affiliation of any participant. 6. OPTIONS. Each Option granted to a Recipient under the Plan shall contain such provisions as the Committee at the Date of Grant shall deem appropriate. Each Option granted to a Recipient will satisfy the following requirements: (A) WRITTEN AGREEMENT. Each Option granted to a Recipient will be evidenced by an Option Agreement.

(H) RETIREMENT. If the Recipient's employment with the Company terminates by reason of normal retirement under the Company's normal retirement policies, an Incentive Stock Option granted to the Recipient will expire 90 days after the last day of employment, or, if earlier, on the date specified in subsection (d) above. During the 90-day period following the Recipient's normal retirement, the Incentive Stock Option may be exercised as to the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised on the retirement date, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein. If the Recipient's employment with the Company terminates by reason of normal retirement under the Company's normal retirement policies, a Nonqualified Stock Option granted to the Recipient will expire 90 days after the last day of employment, or, if earlier, on the date specified in subsection (d) above, unless the Committee sets an earlier or later expiration date in establishing the terms of the Nonqualified Stock Option at grant or a later expiration date subsequent to the Date of Grant but prior to the end of the 90-day period following the Recipient's normal retirement. During the period beginning on the date of the Recipient's normal retirement and ending on the date the Nonqualified Stock Option expires, the Nonqualified Stock Option may be exercised as to the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised on the retirement date, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein. (I) TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Recipient ceases employment or affiliation with the Company for any reason other than death, disability, or retirement (as described above), an Option granted to the Recipient shall lapse immediately following the last day that the Recipient is employed by or affiliated with the Company. However, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, either at grant of the Option or at the time the Recipient terminates employment, delay the expiration date of the Option to a date after termination of employment; provided, however, that the expiration date of an Incentive Stock Option may not be delayed more than 90 days following the termination of the Recipient's employment or affiliation with the Company. During any such delay of the expiration date, the Option may be exercised only for the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised on such termination date, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein. Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in the Plan, if the Recipient shall (i) commit any act of malfeasance or wrongdoing affecting the Company or any parent or subsidiary, (ii) breach any covenant not to compete or employment agreement with the Company or any parent or Subsidiary, or (iii) engage in conduct that would warrant the Recipient's discharge for cause, any unexercised part of the Option shall lapse immediately upon the earlier of the occurrence of such event or the last day the Recipient is employed by the Company. (J) CHANGE OF CONTROL. If a Change of Control occurs, the Board may vote to immediately terminate all Options outstanding under the Plan as of the date of the Change of Control or may vote to accelerate the expiration of the Options to the tenth day after the effective date of the Change of Control. If the Board votes to immediately terminate the Options, it shall make a cash payment to the Recipient equal to the difference between the Exercise Price and the Fair Market Value of the Shares that would have been subject to the terminated Option on the date of the Change of Control. (K) CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR EXERCISE. Options granted to Recipients under the Plan shall be exercisable only to the extent they are vested according to the terms of the Option Agreement. Furthermore, Options granted to Employees under the Plan shall be exercisable only if the issuance of Shares pursuant to the exercise would be in compliance with applicable securities laws, as contemplated by Section 9 of the Plan. Each Agreement shall specify any additional conditions required for the exercise of the Option. 26

The aggregate Fair Market Value, determined on the Date of Grant, of stock in the Company with respect to which any Incentive Stock Options under the Plan and all other plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code) may become exercisable by any individual for the first time in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. (N) METHOD OF EXERCISE. An Option granted under this Plan shall be deemed exercised when the person entitled to exercise the Option (i) delivers written notice to the President of the Company (or his delegate, in his absence) of the decision to exercise, (ii) concurrently tenders to the Company full payment for the Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise, and (iii) complies with such other reasonable requirements as the Committee establishes pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan. Payment for Shares with respect to which an Option is exercised may be made in cash, or by certified check or wholly or partially in the form of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price. No person will have the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option granted under this Plan until a certificate or certificates for the Shares have been delivered to him. An Option granted under this Plan may not be exercised in increments of less than 1,000 Shares, or, if less, 100 percent of the full number of Shares as to which it can be exercised. A partial exercise of an Option will not affect the holder's right to exercise the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan as to the remaining Shares subject to the Option. (O) LOAN FROM COMPANY TO EXERCISE OPTION. The Committee may, in its discretion and subject to the requirements of applicable law, recommend to the Company that it lend the Recipient the funds needed by the Recipient to exercise an Option. The Recipient shall make application to the Company for the loan, completing the forms and providing the information required by the Company. The loan shall be secured by such collateral as the Company may require, subject to its underwriting requirements and the requirements of applicable law. The Recipient shall execute a Promissory Note and any other documents deemed necessary by the Committee. (P) DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each Recipient shall designate, in the Option Agreement he executes, a beneficiary to receive Options awarded hereunder in the event of his death prior to full exercise of such Options; provided, that if no such beneficiary is designated or if the beneficiary so designated does not survive the Recipient, the estate of such Recipient shall be deemed to be his beneficiary. Recipients may, by written notice to the Committee, change the beneficiary designated in any outstanding Option Agreements. 27

(Q) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. An Option granted under this Plan is not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the Recipient, all rights of the Option are exercisable only by the Recipient. 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may award SARs in tandem with an Option (at or after the grant of the Option), or alone and unrelated to an Option. Each SAR granted to an Employee under the Plan shall contain such provisions as the Committee at the Date of Grant shall deem appropriate. Each SAR granted to an Employee will satisfy the following requirements: (A) WRITTEN AGREEMENT. Each SAR granted to an Employee will be evidenced by a SAR Agreement. The terms of the SAR Agreement need not be identical for different Recipients. The SAR Agreement shall include a description of the substance of each of the requirements in this Section with respect to that particular SAR. (B) NUMBER OF SARS. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of SARs granted to the Recipient. (C) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of the SAR shall equal the exercise price designated by the Committee on the Date of Grant. A SAR granted alone and unrelated to an Option may be granted at such exercise price as the Committee may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. A SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall have an exercise price not less than the exercise price of the Option. (D) DURATION OF OPTION. Each SAR granted to a Recipient shall expire on the tenth anniversary of its Date of Grant or, at such earlier or later date as is set by the Committee in establishing the terms of the SAR at grant. If the Recipient's employment with the Company terminates before the expiration date of a SAR, the SARs owned by the Recipient shall expire on the earlier of the date stated in this subsection (d) or the date stated in following subsections of this Section 7. Furthermore, expiration of a SAR may be accelerated under subsection (j) below. (E) VESTING OF SAR. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the vesting schedule applicable to the SAR. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accelerate the vesting of any SAR at any time. (F) DEATH. In the case of the death of a Recipient, the SAR shall expire on the one-year anniversary of the Recipient's death, or if earlier, the date specified in subsection (d) above, unless the Committee sets an earlier or later expiration date in establishing the terms of the SAR at grant or a later expiration date subsequent to the Date of Grant but prior to the one-year anniversary of the Recipient's death. During the period beginning on the date of the Recipient's death and ending on the date the SAR expires, the SAR may be exercised to the extent it could have been exercised at the time the Recipient died, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein. (G) DISABILITY. In the case of the total and permanent disability of a Recipient and a resulting termination of employment with the Company, the SAR shall expire on the one-year anniversary date of the Recipient's last day of employment, or, if earlier, the date 28
PRE 14A29th Page of 34TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
specified in subsection (d) above, unless the Committee sets an earlier or later expiration date in establishing the terms of the SAR at grant or a later expiration date subsequent to the Date of Grant but prior to the one-year anniversary of the Recipient's last day of employment or affiliation with the Company. During the period beginning on the date of the Recipient's termination of employment or affiliation by reason of disability and ending on the date the SAR expires, the SAR may be exercised as to the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised at the time the Recipient became disabled, subject to any adjustments under Section 10 herein. (H) RETIREMENT. If the Recipient's employment terminates by reason of normal retirement under the Company's normal retirement policies, the SAR will expire 90 days after the last day of employment, or, if earlier, on the date specified in subsection (d) above, unless the Committee sets an earlier or later expiration date in establishing the terms of the SAR at grant or a later expiration date subsequent to the Date of Grant but prior to the end of the 90-day period following the Recipient's normal retirement. During the period beginning on the date of the Recipient's normal retirement and ending on the date the SAR expires, the SAR may be exercised as to the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised on the retirement date, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein. (I) TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Recipient ceases employment for any reason other than death, disability, or retirement (as described above), all SARs held by the Recipient shall lapse immediately following the last day that the Recipient is employed by the Company. However, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, either at grant of the SAR or at the time the Recipient terminates employment, delay the expiration date of the SAR to a date after termination of employment. During any such delay of the expiration date, the SAR may be exercised only for the number of Shares for which it could have been exercised on such termination date, subject to any adjustment under Section 10 herein. Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in the Plan, if the Recipient shall (i) commit any act of malfeasance or wrongdoing affecting the Company or any parent or subsidiary, (ii) breach any covenant not to compete or employment agreement with the Company or any parent or Subsidiary, or (iii) engage in conduct that would warrant the Recipient's discharge for cause, any unexercised part of the SAR shall lapse immediately upon the earlier of the occurrence of such event or the last day the Recipient is employed by the Company. (J) CHANGE OF CONTROL. If a Change of Control occurs, the Board may vote to accelerate the expiration of the SARs to the 10th day after the effective date of the Change of Control. (K) CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR EXERCISE. SARs granted to Recipients under the Plan shall be exercisable only to the extent they are vested according to the terms of the SAR Agreement. Each SAR Agreement shall specify any additional conditions required for the exercise of the SAR. (L) METHOD OF EXERCISE. A SAR granted under this Plan shall be deemed exercised when the person entitled to exercise the SAR delivers written notice to the President of the Company (or his delegate, in his absence) of the decision to exercise, and complies with such other reasonable requirements as the Committee establishes pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan. A partial exercise of a SAR will not affect the holder's right to exercise the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan as to the remaining Shares subject to the Option. 29

(M) DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each Recipient shall designate in the SAR Agreement he executes, a beneficiary to receive SARs awarded hereunder in the event of his death prior to full exercise of such SARs; provided, that if no such beneficiary is designated or if the beneficiary so designated does not survive the Recipient, the estate of such Recipient shall be deemed to be his beneficiary. Recipients may, by written notice to the Committee, change the beneficiary designated in any outstanding SAR Agreements. (N) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF SARS. No SAR granted under this Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all SARs granted to a Recipient under this Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Recipient. 8. RESTRICTED STOCK. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Recipients in such amounts as the Committee shall determined in its sole and absolute discretion. Each Restricted Stock Award granted to an Employee under the Plan shall contain such provisions as the Committee at the Date of Grant shall deem appropriate. Each Restricted Stock Award granted to a Recipient will satisfy the following requirements: (A) WRITTEN AGREEMENT. Each Restricted Stock Award granted to a Recipient will be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement. The terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement need not be identical for different Recipients. The Restricted Stock Agreement shall specify the Period of Restriction, or Periods. In addition, the Restricted Stock Agreement shall include a description of the substance of each of the requirements in this Section with respect to that particular Restricted Stock Award. (B) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Agreement shall specify the number of Restricted Stock Shares awarded to the Recipient. (C) TRANSFERABILITY. Except as provided in this subsection (c), the Restricted Stock Shares granted under this Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction established by the Committee at grant and specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement, or upon earlier satisfaction of any other conditions, as specified by the Committee at grant and specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. (D) OTHER RESTRICTIONS. The Committee shall impose such other restrictions on any Restricted Stock Shares granted pursuant to this Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, vesting restrictions, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific Company-wide, Subsidiary, and/or individual performance goals, and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws, and may legend the certificate representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions. The Committee may also require that Recipients make cash payments at the time of grant or upon lapsing of restrictions. Such cash payments, if imposed, will be in an amount not less than the par value of the Restricted Stock Shares. 30
PRE 14A31st Page of 34TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 31st
(E) CERTIFICATE LEGEND. In addition to any legends placed on certificates pursuant to subsection 8(d) above, each certificate representing Restricted Stock Shares granted pursuant to this Plan shall bear the following legend: "The sale or other transfer of the Shares of stock represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Romac International, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and in a Restricted Stock Agreement dated ________________. A copy of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement may be obtained from the Chief Financial Officer of Romac International, Inc." (F) REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, Restricted Stock Shares shall become freely transferable by the Recipient after the last day of the Period of Restriction. Once the Restricted Stock Shares are released from the restrictions, the Recipient shall be entitled to have the legend required by subsection (e) above removed from his Share certificate. (G) VOTING RIGHTS. During the Period of Restriction, Recipients holding Restricted Stock Shares may exercise full voting rights with respect to such Shares. (H) DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. During the Period of Restriction, Recipients holding Restricted Stock Shares shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares while they are so held. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Shares with respect to which they were paid. (I) DEATH. In the case of the death of a Recipient, the restrictions on the Recipient's Restricted Stock Shares shall expire on the date of the Recipient's death. (J) DISABILITY. In the case of the total and permanent disability of a Recipient and a resulting termination of employment with the Company, the restrictions on the Recipient's Restricted Stock Shares shall expire on the Recipient's last day of employment. (K) RETIREMENT. If the Recipient's employment terminates by reason of normal retirement under the Company's normal retirement policies, the restrictions on the Recipient's Restricted Stock Shares shall expire on the Recipient's last day of employment. (L) TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Recipient ceases employment for any reason other than death, disability, or retirement (as described above), all nonvested Restricted Stock Shares held by the Recipient shall be forfeited immediately and returned to the Company; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to provide for expiration of the restrictions on Restricted Stock Shares following termination of employment, upon such terms and provisions as it deems proper. 31
PRE 14A32nd Page of 34TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 32nd
(M) CHANGE OF CONTROL. If a Change of Control occurs, the Board may vote to remove immediately all restrictions on Restricted Stock Shares as of the date of the Change of Control. (N) DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each Recipient shall designate, in the Restricted Stock Agreement he executes, a beneficiary to receive Restricted Stock Shares awarded hereunder in the event of his death prior to removal of all restrictions on such Shares; provided, that if no such beneficiary is designated or if the beneficiary so designated does not survive the Recipient, the estate of such Recipient shall be deemed to be his beneficiary. Recipients may, by written notice to the Committee, change the beneficiary designated in any outstanding Restricted Stock Agreements. 9. TAXES; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES; LEGENDS. The Company shall have the right to withhold from payments otherwise due and owing to the Recipient (or his beneficiary) or to require the Recipient (or his beneficiary) to remit to the Company in cash upon demand an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal (including FICA and FUTA amounts), state, and/or local withholding tax requirements at the time the Recipient (or his beneficiary) recognizes income for federal, state, and/or local tax purposes with respect to any Award under this Plan. Awards can be granted, and Shares can be delivered under this Plan, only in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations and the rules of all stock exchanges on which the Company's stock is listed at any time. An Option is exercisable only if either (a) a registration statement pertaining to the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option has been filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and remains effective on the date of exercise, or (b) an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws is available. This Plan does not require the Company, however, to file such a registration statement or to assure the availability of such exemptions. Any certificate issued to evidence Shares issued under the Plan may bear such legends and statements, and shall be subject to such transfer restrictions, as the Committee deems advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations and with the requirements of this Section. No Option may be exercised, and Shares may not be issued under this Plan, until the Company has obtained the consent or approval of every regulatory body, federal or state, having jurisdiction over such matters as the Committee deems advisable. Each person who acquires the right to exercise an Option or a SAR or to ownership of Shares by bequest or inheritance may be required by the Committee to furnish reasonable evidence of ownership of the Option or SAR as a condition to his exercise of the Option or SAR. In addition, the Committee may require such consents and releases of taxing authorities as the Committee deems advisable. With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or its successor under the 1934 Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Plan administrators fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Plan administrators. 32

10. ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE OF SHARES. If a reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, stock split, stock dividend, rights offering, or other expansion or contraction of the Common Stock of the Company occurs, the number and class of Shares for which Awards are authorized to be granted under this Plan, the number and class of Shares then subject to Awards previously granted to Employees under this Plan, and the price per Share payable upon exercise of each Award outstanding under this Plan shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect such changes. To the extent deemed equitable and appropriate by the Board, subject to any required action by shareholders, in any merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution, any Award granted under the Plan shall pertain to the securities and other property to which a holder of the number of Shares of stock covered by the Award would have been entitled to receive in connection with such event. 11. LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY. The Company, its parent and any Subsidiary that is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to any person for any tax consequences incurred by a Recipient or other person with respect to an Award. 12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board may alter, amend, or terminate this Plan from time to time without approval of the shareholders of the Company. The Board may, however, condition any amendment on the approval of the shareholders of the Company if such approval is necessary or advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws to which the Company, the Plan, Recipients or Eligible Persons are subject. Any amendment, whether with or without the approval of shareholders of the Company, that alters the terms or provisions of an Award granted before the amendment (unless the alteration is expressly permitted under this Plan) will be effective only with the consent of the Recipient to whom the Award was granted or the holder currently entitled to exercise it. 13. EXPENSES OF PLAN. The Company shall bear the expenses of administering the Plan. 14. DURATION OF PLAN. Awards may be granted under this Plan only during the 10 years immediately following the original effective date of this Plan. 15. APPLICABLE LAW. The validity, interpretation, and enforcement of this Plan are governed in all respects by the laws of Florida and the United States of America. 16. EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of this Plan, as amended, shall be the earlier of (i) the date on which the Board adopts the amended Plan or (ii) the date on which the Shareholders approve the amended Plan. Adopted by the Board of Directors on February 7, 1997 (original Plan adopted by the Board of Directors September 19, 1994; amendments adopted by the Board of Directors March 1, 1995, September 15, 1995, March 15, 1996, and October 18, 1996).
