|$20,000,000 |  | November 16, 2004 



FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CDI CORP.
(the Borrower), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK (the Bank), at its offices located at 277 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10172, or at such other place as the Bank or any holder hereof
may from time to time designate, the principal sum of TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS ($20,000,000), or such lesser amount as may be advanced by the Bank and be outstanding from time to time, in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available
funds on November 15, 2005 (the Maturity Date) (or earlier as hereinafter referred to), and to pay interest in like money at such office or place from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance of each Loan (as hereinafter
defined) made hereunder at a rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year) for such Loan, which shall be payable on the Interest
Payment Date relating to such Loan (as hereinafter defined) until such Loan shall be due and payable (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and thereafter, on demand. Interest on any past due amount, whether at the due date thereof or
by acceleration or upon default, shall be payable at a rate four percent (4%) per annum above the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time which rate shall be computed for actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be
adjusted as of the date of each such change, but in no event higher than the maximum permitted under applicable law.



Interest/Grid Schedule



The Bank is authorized to enter on the Grid Schedule attached hereto (i) the amount of each Loan made from time to time hereunder, (ii) the date on which each Loan
is made, (iii) the applicable Interest Period for each Loan which in no event shall be later than the Maturity Date, (iv) the interest rate agreed between the Borrower and the Bank as the interest rate to be paid to the Bank on each Loan (each such
rate, an Applicable Interest Rate), which rate, at the Borrowers option in accordance herewith, shall be at (a) the Prime Rate (the Prime Rate Loan(s)) or (b) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as hereafter defined)
plus 0.60% (the LIBOR Loan; each Prime Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan shall be a Type of Loan), (v) the amount of each payment made hereunder, and (vi) the outstanding principal balance of the Loans hereunder from time
to time.



---

The date, amount, rate of interest and maturity date of each Loan and payment(s) (if any) of principal, the Loan(s)
to which such payment(s) will be applied (which shall be at the discretion of the Bank) and the outstanding principal balance of Loans shall be recorded by the Bank on its books and records (which may be electronic in nature) and at any time and
from time to time may be, and shall be prior to any transfer and delivery of this Note, entered by the Bank on the schedule attached or any continuation of the schedule attached hereto by the Bank (at the discretion of the Bank, any such entries may
aggregate Loans (and payments thereon) with the same interest rate and tenor and, if made on a given date, may show only the Loans outstanding on such date). Any such entries shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The failure by the
Bank to make any or all such entries shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to pay any and all amounts due hereunder.



Prepayment



The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Loan, other than Loans based on the Prime Rate, prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period of such
Loan. In the event the Borrower does prepay a Loan prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall reimburse the Bank on demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released by
any prepayment.



Loans by the Bank



The loan hereunder may be made in any combination of loans (each a
Loan and collectively the Loans) as may be requested by the Borrower hereunder, which Loans shall in no event exceed $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time. Any LIBOR Loan shall be in
a minimum principal amount of $500,000 and in increments of $100,000. Each such request for a Loan shall be made by any officer of the Borrower or any person designated in writing by any such officer, all of which are hereby designated and
authorized by the Borrower to request Loans and agree to the terms thereof (including without limitation the Applicable Interest Rate and Interest Period with respect thereto). The Borrower shall give the Bank notice at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the date thereof and the end of each Interest Period (as hereafter defined) specifying whether the Loan shall bear interest at the Prime Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate and the Interest Period applicable thereto. In the event the Borrower
shall fail to provide such notice, the Loan shall be deemed to bear interest at the applicable Prime Rate and shall have an Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of each Loan shall be prepaid on the earlier to occur of the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the date upon which the entire unpaid balance hereof shall otherwise become due and payable.



The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon the prior irrevocable written notice to the Bank required above to continue at the end of the then prevailing
Interest Period any Prime Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan or portion thereof into a subsequent Interest Period and at the end of the then prevailing Interest Period to convert any Loan or portion thereof into a Prime Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan, subject to the
selection of Interest Periods in accordance with the definition thereof and to the following conditions:



| | (a) | no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such and no Prime Rate Loan may be converted to a LIBOR Loan if an Event of Default hereunder or, any event which upon notice or lapse of time or both would
constitute an Event of Default thereunder, shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such continuation or conversion;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2



---

| | (b) | in the case of a continuation of or conversion of less than all of a Loan, the principal amount of each LIBOR Loan continued or into which another Type of Loan has been converted shall not be
less than $500,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 and the principal amount of each Prime Rate Loan continued or into which another Type of Loan has been converted shall not be less than $100,000 and shall be in an integral multiple
of $100,000;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | each conversion shall be effected by the Bank by applying the proceeds of the new Prime Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan to the Loan (or portion thereof) being converted, and accrued interest on the
Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | if the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a Loan that is to be converted to a LIBOR Loan is not a Business Day, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day and during the period from the last such day of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Loan shall bear interest as if it were a Prime Rate Loan;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | a LIBOR Loan may be converted to another Type of Loan only on the last day of its Interest Period; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (f) | any portion of a LIBOR Loan that cannot be converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan by reason of prepayment penalties thereon automatically shall be converted at the end of the prevailing
Interest Period to a Prime Rate Loan.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Increased Cost



If at any time after the date hereof, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or any political subdivision of the United States of America or any other government, governmental agency or central bank shall impose or modify any reserve or capital requirement on or in respect of loans made by or deposits
with the Bank or shall impose on the Bank or the eurocurrency market any other conditions affecting LIBOR Loans, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or, in the case of Regulation D, to impose a cost on) the Bank of making or
maintaining any LIBOR Loans or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by the Bank in respect thereof, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after notice and demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank
such additional amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased cost or reduction; provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate the Bank for any increased cost resulting from the



3



---

application of Regulation D as required by the definition of Adjusted LIBO Rate. Any such obligation by the Borrower to the Bank shall not be due and owing until the
Bank has delivered written notice to the Borrower. Failure by the Bank to provide such notice shall not be deemed a waiver of any of its rights hereunder. A certificate of the Bank claiming compensation hereunder and setting forth the additional
amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the method by which such amounts were calculated shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.



Capital Adequacy



If the Bank shall have determined that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the
Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule regulation or guideline
regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Bank (or any lending office of the Bank) or the Banks holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Banks capital or on the capital of the Banks holding company, if any, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the
Bank or the Banks holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Banks policies and the policies of such Banks holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank or the Banks holding company for any such reduction suffered.



Indemnity



The Borrower shall indemnify the Bank against (i) any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of the
occurrence of any Event of Default and (ii) any loss or expense sustained or incurred pursuant to this Note in connection with obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties as a consequence of the conversion of any Loan from one
interest rate to another or the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan by the Borrower (in either case, pursuant to a default, change in legality or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period, or the failure by the
Borrower to borrow or prepay, convert or continue any LIBOR Loan or part thereof once notice has been given by the Borrower. The Bank shall provide to the Borrower a statement, supported where applicable by documentary evidence, explaining the
amount of any such loss or expense, which statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.



Change In Legality



(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Note, if any change after the date hereof in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any



4



---

governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful (based on the opinion of any counsel, whether in-house, special or general, for
the Bank) for the Bank to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower by the Bank, the Bank may require that all outstanding
LIBOR Loans made hereunder be converted to Prime Loans, whereupon all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to Prime Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.



(b) For purposes of this Section, a notice to the Borrower by the Bank pursuant to
paragraph (a) above shall be effective, if lawful and if any LIBOR Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then current Interest Period; otherwise, such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.



Events of Default



If the Borrower shall default in the punctual payment of any sum payable with respect to, or in the observance or performance of any
of the terms and conditions of, this Note, or any other agreement with or in favor of the Bank, or if a default or event of default that is accelerated shall occur for any reason under any such agreement, or in the event of default in any other
indebtedness of the Borrower, or if the Bank shall, in its sole discretion, consider any of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder insecure, or if any warranty, representation or statement of fact made in writing to the Bank at any time by an
officer, agent or employee of the Borrower is false or misleading in any material respect when made, or if the Borrower shall be dissolved or shall fail to maintain its existence in good standing, or if the usual business of the Borrower shall be
suspended or terminated, or if any levy, execution, seizure, attachment or garnishment shall be issued, made or filed on or against any material portion of the property of the Borrower, or if the Borrower shall become insolvent (however defined or
evidenced), make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or make or send a notice of intended bulk transfer, or if a committee of creditors is appointed for, or any petition or proceeding for any relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, receivership, liquidation or dissolution law or statute now or hereafter in affect (whether at law or in equity) is filed or commenced by or against the Borrower or any material portion of its property,
or if any trustee or receiver is appointed for the Borrower or any such property - then and in any such event (Event of Default), in addition to all rights and remedies of the Bank under applicable law and otherwise, all such
rights and remedies cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable alternatively, successively and concurrently, the Bank may, at its option, declare any and all of the amounts owing under this Note to be due and payable, whereupon the maturity of the
then unpaid balance hereof shall be accelerated and the same, together with all interest accrued hereon, shall forthwith become due and payable provided, however, that if a bankruptcy event specified above shall have occurred, all
amounts owing under this Note shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower.

(including without limitation audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial statements, promptly prepared and received), which information will be furnished to the Bank as it may from time to time reasonably request, and continuing satisfaction
with your financial condition, business affairs and prospects. This line expires on November 15, 2005.
