                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT (the  "Agreement") is entered into as of the 8th
day  of  April,  2000  between  CDI  Corp.,  a  Pennsylvania   corporation  (the
"Company"), and Mitchell Wienick ("Executive").

     Executive  has been  employed  by the  Company as its  President  and Chief
Executive  Officer  under the terms of an employment  agreement  dated March 11,
1997 (the "Prior Agreement").  The original term of that agreement expired April
7, 2000.

     The Company  desires to  continue to employ  Executive,  and  Executive  is
willing to remain  employed  by the  Company,  upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein,
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

                                      TERMS

SECTION 1.     EMPLOYMENT.

     The Company hereby  continues  Executive in its  employment,  and Executive
hereby accepts such continued  employment and agrees to continue to serve as the
Company's  President and Chief Executive Officer,  and to render services to the
Company and its  subsidiaries,  divisions and affiliates,  during the Employment
Period set forth in Section 3, subject to the terms and  conditions  hereinafter
set forth.

SECTION 2.     MANAGEMENT & BOARD DUTIES.

     As  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of the  Company  during  the
Employment  Period,  Executive  shall carry out such  duties as are  customarily
associated  with the position of president and chief  executive  officer,  which
duties  shall  however in all cases be subject  to  policies  set by, and at the
direction  and  control  of, the  Company's  Board of  Directors  (the "Board of
Directors").  The Company shall use its best efforts to have Executive nominated
and elected to the Board of Directors during the Employment  Period.  During the
Employment  Period,  Executive  shall be  afforded  the full  protection  of the
indemnifications  generally  available  to  officers  and  directors  under  the
Company's by-laws.

                                     <PAGE>

SECTION 3.     TERM.

     The term of Executive's  employment  under this Agreement (the  "Employment
Period")  shall  commence as of April 8, 2000,  and,  unless  sooner  terminated
pursuant  to  Section 7 of this  Agreement,  shall  continue  until the close of
business on April 7, 2002. At the end of such original  period,  the  Employment
Period  shall be  automatically  extended  thereafter  for  successive  one-year
periods  unless  sooner  terminated  pursuant to Section 7 of this  Agreement or
unless  either party  notifies the other party in writing at least 90 days prior
to the scheduled  expiration of the  Employment  Period that it does not wish to
extend the Employment Period for any additional one-year periods. This Agreement
survives any termination of the Employment Period.

SECTION 4.     EXTENT OF SERVICES.

     During the  Employment  Period,  Executive  shall  devote his full time and
attention and give his best efforts,  skills and  abilities  exclusively  to the
management  and  operations  of the Company and its business and the business of
its subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates. Executive shall perform his services
hereunder at the Company's  offices in  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania  and at such
other places as are required for the effective management of the Company and its
business and the business of its subsidiaries,  divisions and affiliates. During
the Employment  Period,  Executive  shall,  if elected or appointed,  serve as a
director of the  Company  and as an  executive  officer  and/or  director of any
subsidiary,  division or  affiliate  of the Company and shall hold,  without any
compensation other than that provided for in this Agreement,  the offices in the
Company and in any such  subsidiary,  division or affiliate  to which  Executive
may, at any time or from time to time, be elected or appointed.

SECTION 5.     COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

     (a)  Base Salary. During the Employment Period,  Executive shall receive as
compensation  for his  services  a salary  at the rate of Six  Hundred  Thousand
Dollars  ($600,000) per annum payable in equal installments at such intervals as
the Company pays its senior  executive  officers  generally (the "Base Salary").
The Base Salary shall be reviewed  annually by the Board of Directors and may be
increased  if so  determined  by the Board of Directors in its absolute and sole
discretion.

     (b)  Restricted  Stock.  On March 11, 1997,  Executive  was granted  30,000
restricted  shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock  (the  "Restricted  Stock")
pursuant  to the terms of the  Restricted  Stock  Agreement  attached  hereto as
Exhibit A. Pursuant to Section 6 of the Restricted  Stock  Agreement,  Executive
shall  not be able to  sell,  transfer  or  otherwise  benefit  from  any of the
Restricted Stock until such

                                       2

                                     <PAGE>

shares vest pursuant to Section 4 of the Restricted  Stock Agreement.
Of the 30,000 shares of Restricted  Stock,  one-half of those shares (15,000) to
the  extent  not  already  vested  or  forfeited  in  accordance  with the Prior
Agreement,  shall  continue to vest pursuant to the bonus awards in Section 5(d)
of this Agreement. Any share of Restricted Stock that does not vest on the first
date that such share was eligible to vest because  Executive did not receive the
Maximum  Bonus Award shall be forfeited  on that date and shall never vest.  The
other half of the 30,000 shares of  Restricted  Stock  (15,000)  shall vest over
time as described in Section 4 of the Restricted Stock Agreement.

     (c) Nonqualified Stock Options.  As of the date hereof,  Executive shall be
granted  non-qualified stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     (d) Bonus Awards. Executive shall be eligible to receive bonus compensation
during  the  Employment  Period.  Such  bonus  awards  shall be  based  upon the
Company's  annual  financial  results,  as  reflected in the  Company's  audited
financial  statements for such period, and shall consist of a cash payment and a
vesting of Restricted  Stock.  The bonus  compensation  shall be determined on a
basis no less  favorable  than  under  the  terms of the  Company's  Annual  and
Performance  Share  bonus  plans  (the  "Bonus  Plans") as in effect on the date
hereof. In addition,  for each calendar year in which the Executive achieves the
threshold  performance  target established for his annual bonus under (i) below,
3,000 shares of the Restricted  Stock described in (b) above shall vest. If that
threshold  performance  target is not achieved in any calendar  year,  the 3,000
shares of Restricted  Stock that would have vested had that  threshold been met,
will be forfeited.  After all 15,000 shares of Restricted Stock have either been
vested or forfeited, the Executives bonuses shall consist solely of awards under
the Bonus Plans,  plus the vesting of any additional  shares of restricted stock
that  the  Board  of  Directors  may in its sole  discretion  determine  to make
available to Executive.  The bonus award during Executive's  employment with the
Company shall be determined as follows:

          (i) Within a mutually  agreeable  time period  before the beginning of
each  calendar  year,  Executive  shall submit to the Board of Directors for its
approval the Company's operational plan, including a fiscal budget, for the next
calendar year. A committee of the Board of Directors,  all of the voting members
of which  shall be outside  directors  as defined in  regulations  issued  under
ss.162(m) of the  Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended,  shall  establish
goals each year based on the approved operational plan, the budget and the terms
of the  Company's  Bonus Plans.  The goals and  conditions  established  for the
Executive's bonus  opportunities  shall be consistent with those established for
other senior  executives  of the Company.  Provided  that the Board of Directors
then ratifies  those goals,  the Executive  shall receive the  percentage of the
maximum  bonus  award,

                                       3

                                     <PAGE>

specified  by the  applicable  bonus plan,  depending on
whether the Company  attains all or a portion of the goals  established for that
year.

Any of the Company's  financial results that are used to calculate bonuses under
this  Section  5(d) shall be taken  only from the  Company's  audited  financial
statements for the applicable year.

          (ii)  Payment of Bonuses and  Vesting of  Restricted  Stock.  All cash
bonuses  payable  under this Section 5(d) shall be paid to Executive  within two
weeks after the delivery of audited financial  statements to the Company for the
prior  calendar  year.  Any shares of Restricted  Stock that vest as a result of
Executive  receiving  all or a portion of the maximum  bonus award shall  become
vested on the same date that the cash  bonus is paid to  Executive.  No  bonuses
will be paid to  Executive,  and no shares of  Restricted  Stock shall vest,  if
Executive's employment with the Company has terminated before the bonus has been
paid,  regardless of whether he would have been entitled to a bonus based on the
Company's  financial results for the prior year,  unless the Company  terminates
Executive  without  Cause  after a year has ended but before  the bonus  becomes
payable for such year.

     (e) Employee  Benefits.  During the Employment  Period,  Executive shall be
entitled to participate in all employee  benefit plans and programs  approved by
the Board of Directors as the Company  shall  provide  generally to other senior
executive officers of the Company from time to time, other than any bonus plans.
In addition,  the Company's  contribution  on behalf of Executive  under the CDI
Corporation Excess Benefit Plan in a particular plan year shall be calculated as
if  compensation  under the Excess  Benefit Plan  included any bonus awards made
under  Section 5(d) for that plan year,  including  the fair market value of any
shares of Restricted Stock that became vested (whether  automatically or as part
of a bonus award), as determined as of the date on which they vest, in that plan
year.  Executive shall begin participation in the Company's disability insurance
programs as of the date his employment commences hereunder,  notwithstanding any
terms of such programs to the contrary.

     (f) All payments to Executive or his estate made pursuant to this Agreement
shall be subject to such withholding as may be required by any applicable laws.

SECTION 6.     EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS.

     During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all
reasonable  and  itemized  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred by Executive in the
ordinary course of the Company's  business,  provided such expenses are properly
reported to the Company in accordance with its accounting procedures.

SECTION 7.     TERMINATION.

     (a) The  Employment  Period may be terminated by either the Board on behalf
of the Company or the  Executive  at any time or for any reason,  as provided in
this Section  7(a). In addition to the  scheduled  expiration of the  Employment
Period set forth in Section 3, the  Employment  Period shall  terminate upon the
earliest to occur of the following:

          (i) the Executive's death or Disability;

          (ii)  delivery by the Company to Executive of a written  notice of the
Company's election to terminate Executive's employment hereunder, for any reason
whatsoever; or

          (iii) the close of business on the day which is 90 days after the date
on which the Executive  shall have  delivered to the Company  written  notice of
Executive's election to terminate Executive's employment hereunder.

     (b) For  purposes  of this  Agreement,  "Disability"  shall  have  the same
meaning as "Total  Disability"  under the CDI  Corporation  Long Term Disability
Benefits Program, or such other comparable program as may then be in effect that
provides long term disability coverage to the Company's management employees.

     (c) For purposes of this  Agreement,  "Cause"  means any one or more of the
following bases for termination of Executive's employment with the Company:

          (i) Executive's  commission of a felony or other crime involving moral
turpitude;

          (ii) Executive's refusal to perform such services as may be reasonably
delegated or assigned to Executive,  consistent with his position,  by the Board
of Directors;  provided, however, that a termination under this Section 7(c)(ii)
shall not be for Cause unless the Company  provides  written notice to Executive
of its intention to terminate  Executive for Cause under this Section  7(c)(ii),
and Executive fails, to the reasonable  satisfaction of the Company, to cure the
defects stated in such written notice within ten days after the notice was given
to Executive;

          (iii) Executive's willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection
with  the  performance  of his  duties  under  this  Agreement  that  materially
adversely affects  Executive's  ability to perform his duties for the Company or
materially adversely affects the Company;

          (iv) Executive's  material breach of any of the terms or conditions of
this Agreement;

                                       5

                                     <PAGE>

          (v) receipt of notice  from  Executive  of  Executive's  intention  to
terminate his employment with the Company; or

          (vi)  receipt  of  reliable   information   from  another   source  of
Executive's  intention  to  terminate  his  employment  with the Company  unless
Executive  delivers a written  statement to Company  providing  that he does not
intend to terminate his employment with the Company as long as such statement is
delivered  to the  Company no later than 48 hours  after the  Company  has asked
Executive  whether  its  information   regarding  his  intended  termination  is
accurate.

     (d) Following any  termination of  Executive's  employment  hereunder,  all
obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall  terminate  except (i) any
obligations  with respect to the payment of accrued and unpaid salary or expense
reimbursements  under  Sections 5 or 6 hereof  through  the date of  Executive's
termination of employment  hereunder,  and (ii) any  obligations as set forth in
Section 7(e) or 7(h).

     (e) In the  event  of any  termination  of  Executive's  employment  by the
Company  other than for Cause,  by  Executive  for Good Reason,  as  hereinafter
defined,  or as a result of Executive's  death or Disability,  the Company shall
continue to pay Executive his Base Salary in the same intervals and amounts that
were in effect immediately prior to termination, until the later of (i) one year
from the date of such  termination or (ii) the next scheduled  expiration of the
Employment  Period,  without  regard for any  renewals  that would or might have
taken place but for  Executive's  termination of  employment.  The period during
which the Company is required to continue to pay Executive his Base Salary under
this Section 7(e) is referred to as the "Severance Period." During the Severance
Period, the Company shall continue to pay for medical benefit plans and programs
for Executive comparable to those in which Executive  participated and for which
the Company paid  immediately  prior to Executive's  termination  (except to the
extent  Executive   receives   comparable   benefits  from  another   employer).
Notwithstanding  the  above,  no  amounts  shall be paid or  become  payable  to
Executive  during the  Severance  Period  until  Executive  has executed a valid
release and waiver of all claims and  potential  claims  against the Company and
other related parties in a form that is reasonably  satisfactory to the Company,
and any  required  waiting  period under such release and waiver has expired and
Executive has not revoked the release during such waiting period.

          (i) "Good  Reason"  exists  if the  Executive  voluntarily  terminates
employment  with the  Company  following  a Change in  Control,  as  hereinafter
defined,  because  (A)  Executive  is  assigned  duties  that are  demeaning  or
otherwise  materially  inconsistent  with  the  duties  currently  performed  by
Executive,  or (B)  Executive's  place of  employment  with the Company is moved
outside the Philadelphia  metropolitan area. Before the Executive terminates for
Good Reason, he must notify the Company in writing of his intention to terminate
and the

                                       6

                                     <PAGE>

Company shall have 15 days after receiving such written notice to remedy
the situation, if possible.

          (ii)  "Change in  Control"  shall mean a change in control of a nature
that  would  be  required  to be  reported  in  response  to Item 1 of Form  8-K
promulgated  under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"),
provided, that, without limitation,  such a change in control shall be deemed to
have  occurred if (A) any "person"  (as such term is used in Sections  13(d) and
14(d) of the Act), other than (1) the Company,  (2) any "person" who on the date
hereof is a director or officer of the Company, (3) any "person" who on the date
hereof  is the  beneficial  owner  of 5% or  more  of the  voting  power  of the
Company's  outstanding  securities  or an  affiliate of any such person or (4) a
trust established under an employee benefit plan for employees of the Company of
its  subsidiaries,  is or becomes  the  "beneficial  owner," (as defined in Rule
13d-3  under the Act),  directly or  indirectly,  of  securities  of the Company
representing  more than 50% of the combined  voting power of the Company's  then
outstanding securities; or (B) during any period of two consecutive years during
the term of this  Agreement,  individuals  who at the  beginning  of such period
constitute the Board (the "Incumbent  Board") cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the Board,  unless the election of each  director who was
not a director at the  beginning of such period has been  approved in advance by
directors  representing  at least a majority of the directors then in office who
were  members of the  Incumbent  Board or whose  election  was  approved  by the
Incumbent Board.

     (f)  Any  termination  by  the  Company  or  by  Executive  of  Executive's
employment hereunder shall be communicated by written notice.

     (g) Except as provided in (h) below, any severance  compensation granted in
this Section 7 shall be the sole and  exclusive  compensation  or benefit due to
Executive upon termination of Executive's employment.

     (h) If  Executive's  employment  is  terminated  for any reason  other than
Cause,  following a Change in Control then,  in addition to any other  benefits,
including  pursuant to option  agreements and employee  benefit plans,  to which
Executive  may be entitled  following  such a Change in Control,  the  Executive
shall be entitled to:

          (i) a payment equal to the excess of twice the Executive's Base Salary
paid during that year of the  Employment  Period  during which the greatest Base
Salary  was paid over the  amount of  severance  pay to which the  Executive  is
entitled under Section 7(e);

          (ii) a bonus  payment  in an  amount  determined  by the  Compensation
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, as constituted immediately before
the  effective  date of the  Change in  Control,  up to a  maximum  of

                                       7

                                     <PAGE>

twice the Executive's  highest  bonus  payments  made during  that year of the
Employment Period in which the greatest aggregate bonuses were paid;

          (iii)  vesting of the  Restricted  Stock  described  in  Section  5(b)
immediately  upon the Executive's  satisfaction  of his non-compete  obligations
under Section 9(i) hereof;

          (iv)  release  from  any  restrictions  on the  sale by  Executive  of
Restricted  Stock  granted  to him  under  this  Agreement  and its  predecessor
immediately  upon the Executive's  satisfaction  of his non-compete  obligations
under Section 9(i) hereof ,

provided that the payments to be made under this Section 7(h), together with all
payments  otherwise  to be made to the  Executive  on  account  of the Change in
Control,  shall  be  limited  to the  maximum  amount  that  can be  paid to the
Executive  without  the  imposition  on such  payments  of any  excise tax under
section 4999 of the Code or any loss of deduction by the Company  under  section
280G of the Code. If it shall be finally  determined  that payments in excess of
those limits have been made to the Executive,  such payments shall be considered
to have been a loan to the  Executive  by the Company and shall be repaid,  with
interest at the short term annual rate  established  under  section  1274 of the
code, upon demand by the Company.

SECTION 8.     REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS OF EXECUTIVE.

     (a) Executive  represents and warrants that his experience and capabilities
are such that the  provisions of Section 9 will not prevent him from earning his
livelihood,  and  acknowledges  that it would  cause  the  Company  serious  and
irreparable  injury and cost if Executive  were to use his ability and knowledge
in competition with the Company or to otherwise breach the obligations contained
in Section 9.

     (b)  Executive  acknowledges  that  (i)  during  the  term  of  Executive's
employment with the Company,  Executive has had and will continue to have access
to Confidential Information;  (ii) such Confidential Information is proprietary,
material and important to the Company and its non-disclosure is essential to the
effective and successful conduct of the Company's business;  (iii) the Company's
business,  its customers'  business and the  businesses of other  companies with
which the  Company  may have  commercial  relationships  could be damaged by the
unauthorized use or disclosure of this Confidential Information;  and (iv) it is
essential to the protection of the Company's  goodwill and to the maintenance of
the Company's  competitive  position that the  Confidential  Information be kept
secret,  and that Executive not disclose the Confidential  Information to others
or use the Confidential Information to Executive's advantage or the advantage of
others.

inducing any of the  Company's  officers and  management  employees to leave the
Company's employ,  hiring or attempting to hire any of the Company's officers or
management  employees,  soliciting  the Company's  customers and suppliers for a
competitive  purpose,  and competing against the Company for a reasonable period

other agreement, written or oral, which would preclude Executive from fulfilling
all the  obligations,  duties and covenants in this  Agreement.  Executive  also
represents  and warrants that  Executive  will not use, in  connection  with his
employment  under this  Agreement,  any  materials  which may be construed to be
confidential to a prior employer or other persons or entities. In the event of a
breach of this Section 8 which results in damage to the Company,  Executive will
indemnify and hold the Company harmless with respect to such damage.

References in this Section 8 to the Company shall include the Company, its
subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates.

Executive  agrees  to take  all  such  action  during  the  term of  Executive's

that as of the date hereof there are no works, software, inventions, discoveries
or  improvements  (other  than  those  included  in a  copyright  or  patent  of
application therefor) which were recorded, written, conceived, invented, made or
discovered by Executive  before entering into this Agreement and which Executive
desires to be removed from the provisions of this Agreement.

Executive  will  hold  all  of the  Confidential  Information  in the  strictest
confidence  and will not use any  Confidential  Information  for any purpose and
will not  publish,  disseminate,  disclose or  otherwise  make any  Confidential

SECTION 10.    REMEDIES.

     Executive  acknowledges  that  his  promised  services  hereunder  are of a
special, unique, unusual,  extraordinary and intellectual character,  which give
them  peculiar  value  the loss of which  cannot  be  reasonably  or  adequately
compensated in an action of law, and that, in the event there is a breach hereof
by Executive, the Company will suffer irreparable harm, the amount of which will
be impossible to ascertain. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled, if it so
elects,  to  institute  and  prosecute  proceedings  in any  court of  competent
jurisdiction, either at law or in equity, to obtain damages for any breach or to
enforce  specific  performance  of the  provisions or to enjoin  Executive  from
committing  any act in breach of this  Agreement.  The  remedies  granted to the
Company  in this  Agreement  are  cumulative  and are in  addition  to  remedies
otherwise  available  to the  Company  at law or in  equity.  If the  Company is
obliged to resort to the courts for the  enforcement  of any of the covenants of
Executive  contained in Section 9 hereof,  each such covenant  shall be extended
for a period of time equal to the period of such breach, if any, which extension
shall  commence on the later of (i) the date on which the original  (unextended)
term of such  covenant is  scheduled  to terminate or (ii) the date of the final
court order (without further right of appeal) enforcing such covenant.

SECTION 11.         WAIVER OF BREACH.

     The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by
Executive  shall  not  operate  or be  construed  as a  waiver  of any  other or
subsequent  breach  by  Executive  of such or any other  provision.  No delay or
omission by the Company or Executive in  exercising  any right,  remedy or power
hereunder  or  existing  at law or in  equity  shall  be  construed  as a waiver
thereof,  and any such right, remedy or power may be exercised by the Company or
Executive from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient or necessary
by the Company or Executive in its or his sole discretion.

                           RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

     This  RESTRICTED  STOCK  AGREEMENT (the  "Agreement") is entered into as of
this 11th day of March, 1997 between CDI Corp., a Pennsylvania  corporation (the
"Company"), and Mitchell Wienick ("Executive").

SECTION 1.     GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

     The Company  hereby  grants to  Executive  30,000  shares of the  Company's
common stock par value $.10 per share, subject to restrictions set forth herein.
The Company,  immediately following the execution of this Agreement,  will issue
or transfer 30,000 shares of the Company's  common stock ("Stock") to Executive.
The Stock shall consist of 10  certificates  of 3,000 shares each  registered in
Executive's  name (the  "Certificates"),  subject to the  restrictions set forth
herein.

SECTION 2.     CUSTODY OF STOCK.

     The Company will deliver the  Certificates  to the Secretary of the Company
("Secretary"),  to be held in  escrow  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of this
Agreement. Simultaneously with the delivery of the Certificates,  Executive will
sign and deliver to the Secretary an undated stock power with respect to each of
the   Certificates,   authorizing  the  Secretary  to  transfer  title  to  each
Certificate  to the  Company,  in the event  that  Executive  forfeits  all or a
portion of the Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.     RIGHTS TO VOTE STOCK.

     Executive  will be  considered a  shareholder  with respect to the escrowed
Stock and will have all  corresponding  rights,  including the right to vote the
Stock and to receive all dividends and other  distributions  with respect to the
Stock,  except that  Executive will have no right to sell,  exchange,  transfer,
pledge,  hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any escrowed Stock, and Executive's
rights in the  escrowed  Stock will be  subject to  forfeiture  as  provided  in
Section 5 of this Agreement.

                                     <PAGE>

SECTION 4.     VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

     Executive  will vest,  if at all,  in  one-half  of the number of shares of
Stock (15,000  shares)  pursuant to the terms of Section 5(d) of the  Employment
Agreement  between  Executive  and  the  Company,  dated  March  11,  1997  (the
"Employment Agreement").  Executive will vest in the other half of the shares of
Stock (the  "15,000  Time-Vesting  Shares") as follows:  (i) 3,000 shares on the
first anniversary of the date of the Employment Agreement,  (ii) 3,000 shares on
the second  anniversary  of the date of the  Employment  Agreement,  (iii) 3,000
shares on the third  anniversary of the date of the Employment  Agreement,  (iv)
3,000 shares on the fourth anniversary of the date of the Employment  Agreement,
and (v)  3,000  shares on the fifth  anniversary  of the date of the  Employment
Agreement.  If Executive is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or as
a result of Executive's death or Disability, or if Executive terminates for Good
Reason, as such terms are defined in the Employment  Agreement,  Executive shall
continue  to vest in the  15,000  Time-Vesting  Shares for the  duration  of the
Severance  Period,  as such term is  defined  in the  Employment  Agreement.  If
Executive's  employment with the Company terminates for any other reason than as
specified in the  immediately  preceding  sentence,  none of the unvested 15,000
Time-Vesting  Shares  shall ever vest and such shares  shall be forfeited to the
Company as of the date that Executive's  employment with the Company  terminates
for any other reason than as specified in the  immediately  preceding  sentence,
none of the unvested 15,000  Time-Vesting Shares shall ever vest and such shares
shall be  forfeited  to the Company as of the date that  Executive's  employment
with the Company terminates.  For all shares of Stock in which Executive becomes
vested,  the escrow will  terminate  and the  Secretary  will  deliver the stock
certificates to Executive as soon as practicable after such shares vest.

SECTION 5.     FORFEITURE OF STOCK.

     Executive  shall forfeit all remaining  escrowed Stock upon the termination
of his  service  as an  employee  of the  Company  for any  reason  other than a
termination  of his  service by the  Company  without  Cause,  as defined in the
Employment  Agreement,  or upon any  attempt  by  Executive  to sell,  exchange,
transfer,  pledge,  hypothecate  or  otherwise  dispose or  encumber  any of the
escrowed  Stock.  Executive shall also forfeit any shares of escrowed Stock that
were subject to vesting  under  Section 5(d) of the  Employment  Agreement,  but
which did not vest thereunder in a given year because Executive was not entitled
to the Maximum Bonus Award for that year. Title to all forfeited shares of Stock
shall be transferred back to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after
they are forfeited.

                                     <PAGE>

SECTION 6.     RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER RIGHTS OF SHARES.

     Whenever  shares of Stock  vest  under  this  Agreement  or the  Employment
Agreement,  one-half  of those  shares of Stock  may not be sold or  transferred
until the second  anniversary  of their  respective  vesting date, and the other
half may be sold or transferred at any time on or after their respective vesting
date.  With  respect  to any  shares of Stock the sale or  transfer  of which is
restricted  under this Section 6,  Executive  may not engage in any  transaction
designed to provide him with  substantially  the same economic benefit of a sale
of any  shares of Stock so  restricted,  such as a short sale or a sale of a put
option.  Certificates  representing  any shares of Stock so  restricted  will be
inscribed with an appropriate legend prohibiting such transfer.

SECTION 7.     COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

     All shares of Stock  issued to  Executive  or his  personal  representative
shall be transferred  in accordance  with all  applicable  laws,  regulations or
listing  requirements of any national securities  exchange,  and the Company may
take all actions  necessary  or  appropriate  to comply  with such  requirements
including,  without limitation,  withholding federal income and other taxes with
respect to such Stock;  restricting (by legend or otherwise) such Stock as shall
be  necessary  or  appropriate,  in the opinion of counsel for the  Company,  to
comply with applicable  federal and state securities laws,  including Rule 16b-3
(or  any  similar  rule)  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  which
restrictions  shall continue to apply after the delivery of certificates for the
Stock to Executive or his personal  representative;  and postponing the issuance
or delivery of any Stock. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary,  the Company  shall not be  obligated to issue or deliver any Stock if
such action violates any provision of any law or regulation of any  governmental
authority or any national securities exchange.

SECTION 8.     AGREEMENT NOT TO AFFECT RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY.

     This Agreement shall not confer upon Executive any right to continue in the
employ or service of the Company.

SECTION 9.     ADJUSTMENT FOR CAPITAL CHANGES.

     The  number  of  shares  of  Stock  subject  to  this  Agreement  shall  be
appropriately   adjusted  in  the  event  of  a  stock  split,  stock  dividend,
recapitalization, or other capital change of the Company.

SECTION 5.     OPTION EXERCISE.

     (a) With respect to 50,000 Shares,  the Option will become exercisable upon
the earlier of (1) the first date during the period April 8, 2000 through  April

     (b)  With  respect  to a second  50,000  Shares,  the  Option  will  become

     (d) Accelerated  Vesting.  In addition to the vesting provisions above, the
Option shall  immediately  vest in full upon the  termination  of the Optionee's

and  to  the  extent  then  exercisable,  shall  remain  exercisable  until  the
Termination Date.

have been satisfied if the price at which such  securities were purchased (or if

applicable.

portion  of  the  Option  which  has  vested,  but  which  has  not  yet  become
exercisable,  shall  remain  outstanding  and shall  become  exercisable  if the
exercise  conditions of Section 5(a), (b) or (c), as  applicable,  are satisfied
before April 7, 2003. For purposes of  determining  the period during which such
portion(s) of the Option may be exercised,  Optionee's Termination Date shall be
deemed  to be the last day of the  original  term of his  Employment  Agreement.
Expiration of the Employment Agreement without renewal shall not be considered a
termination by the Company, either with or without Cause.

of the Option as it deems  necessary  or  advisable  to ensure  that all options
granted  under the Plan,  and the exercise  thereof,  satisfy Rule 16b-3 (or any
similar rule) of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  Such  conditions may
include, without limitation,  the partial or complete suspension of the right to
exercise the Option.

SECTION 10.    ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT OF TAXES.

exercise of the Option and payment of the Option Price,  a  certificate  for the
number of shares of Stock  purchased  through  the  exercise  will be issued and
delivered  by the  Company  to the  Optionee,  provided  that  unless  otherwise
satisfied by the method of payment  determined under the Plan and Section 6, the
Optionee  has  remitted to the  Company an amount,  determined  by the  Company,
sufficient to satisfy the applicable  requirements to withhold  federal,  state,
and  local  taxes,  or  made  other   arrangements  with  the  Company  for  the
satisfaction of such withholding requirements.

     (b)  Subject to the  provisions  of Section 8 above,  the  Company may also
condition  delivery of  certificates  for shares of Stock upon the prior receipt
from the Optionee of any undertakings  that it determines are required to ensure
that the  certificates  are being  issued in  compliance  with federal and state
securities laws.

SECTION 11.    RIGHTS PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES.

     Neither the  Optionee  nor the person to whom the  Optionee's  rights shall
have passed by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall have any of

exercise  of the  Option  until  the  date  of  issuance  to the  Optionee  of a
certificate for such shares as provided in Section 10 above.

combination,  subdivision, issuance of rights or other similar corporate change,
the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the aggregate number of Shares
subject to, and the Option Price of, any then outstanding Option.

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

                                  EXHIBIT (A)

     THIS IS A CONSULTING  AGREEMENT  (hereinafter  referred to as  "Agreement")
made as of this 7th day of April, 1997, by and between CDI Corp., a Pennsylvania
corporation  (hereinafter  referred to as "CDI"; as the context requires in this
Agreement, "CDI" will also refer to CDI Corp.'s subsidiary, CDI Corporation) and
Walter R. Garrison (hereinafter referred to as "Garrison").

                                   Background

     A. Garrison currently serves as chairman of CDI Corp.'s Board of Directors,
as its Chief Executive Officer and President and as a director and/or officer of
numerous CDI subsidiaries; and

     B.  Garrison  and CDI entered into an  employment  agreement on May 1, 1973
(hereinafter referred to as the "Employment Agreement"), which governs the terms
of Garrison's employment with CDI; and

     C. Garrison will retire from CDI and its  subsidiaries  as of April 7, 1997
and the Employment Agreement will terminate at that time; and

     D.  Garrison  and  CDI  desire  to set  forth  in  writing  the  consulting
arrangement to which Garrison and CDI have agreed,  Garrison's  agreement not to
compete with CDI, and Garrison's release and waiver of claims against CDI.

                                   Agreement

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  and in  consideration  of the  mutual  promises  and
undertakings set forth below, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by
both parties,  and intending to be legally bound hereby,  CDI and Garrison agree
as follows:

     1. Term; Termination of Employment Agreement.

          (a) The  consulting  term of this Agreement  (the  "Consulting  Term")
shall  commence as of April 7, 1997 (the  "Effective  Date") and,  unless sooner
terminated  in  accordance   with  Section  8,  shall  terminate  on  the  third
anniversary of the Effective Date.

          (b)  Effective as of the  Effective  Date,  Garrison  will retire from
employment with CDI, and will resign as Chief Executive Officer and President of
CDI and as a

                                       29

                                     <PAGE>

director and officer of all direct and indirect subsidiaries of CDI
(but not as a director  of CDI Corp.).  Garrison  will remain an employee of CDI
through April 6, 1997 under the current terms and  conditions of the  Employment
Agreement.   CDI  and  Garrison  agree  that  Garrison's  employment  under  the
Employment Agreement will terminate on 12:01 a.m. April 7, 1997.

          (c) CDI shall pay to Garrison on or before June 6, 1997,  the bonus to
which  he is  entitled  under  Section  5(a) of the  Employment  Agreement.  For
purposes of such Section 5(a), the last complete  accounting period shall be the
period  ending on March 31, 1997.  In addition,  CDI shall pay to Garrison on or
before June 6, 1997, an amount equal to two and  three-quarters  percent (2.75%)
of twenty percent (20%) of Earnings (as defined in the Employment Agreement) for
the month of April 1997.

          (d) Following Garrison's termination of employment from CDI, Garrison,
with  such  assistance  from  CDI  as he  may  reasonably  request,  may  choose
supplemental  Medicare  coverage  (the  "Insurance  Policy")  at a cost  that is
reasonably  acceptable to CDI.  During the  Consulting  Term, CDI will reimburse
Garrison for the same portion of the premiums for the Insurance  Policy that CDI
contributed  toward Garrison's  medical  insurance  coverage under the CDI group
health insurance plan in effect for CDI's active employees  immediately prior to
his termination of employment from CDI.

     2. Consulting Services. During the Consulting Term, Garrison will render up
to sixty (60) days of  consulting  services  to CDI during the first year of the
Consulting  Term, and up to forty-five  (45) days of consulting  services to CDI
during each of the second and third years of the Consulting Term. These services
will be rendered at the  request of the then Chief  Executive  Officer of CDI at
times reasonably  convenient to Garrison.  In  consideration  for the consulting
services and for Garrison's  agreement not to compete  contained in Section 5(b)
of this Agreement, CDI will pay Garrison $450,000 per year during the Consulting
Term, such amount to be payable in equal monthly installments with such payments
to begin on or about May 7, 1997.

     To aid in the provision of these consulting services, during the Consulting
Term  CDI  will  arrange  for  both  adequate   office  space  for  Garrison  at
Pennsylvania  Institute  of  Technology  ("PIT")  and  secretarial  support  for
Garrison.  All  costs of the  office  space at PIT and the  secretarial  support
provided to Garrison  pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne by CDI. CDI will
reimburse  Garrison for his  necessary  and  reasonable  out of pocket  expenses
incurred  in  connection  with his  performance  of these  consulting  services.
Through April 6, 2002,  Garrison also will attend World Presidents  Organization
("WPO"),  Philadelphia Presidents Organization ("PPO") and World Affairs Council
("WAC") conferences and seminars on CDI's behalf as he did while employed by CDI
and will give  reports  to CDI  regarding  these  conferences  and  seminars  as
reasonably  requested  by CDI.  CDI also  will  reimburse  his WPO,  PPO and WAC
membership  fees and his travel  (business  class for travel  outside the United

                                       30

                                     <PAGE>

States),  lodging, meals and related expenses associated with attendance at WPO,
PPO and WAC  conferences  and seminars in accordance with CDI's past practice of
reimbursing such expenses to Garrison.

     3. Board Service. Garrison agrees to continue to serve as a director of CDI
Corp. for the term to which he has been elected.  Should  Garrison be elected to
serve on the Board of Directors of CDI Corp.  at any time during the  Consulting
Term,  Garrison  agrees to serve on the Board of Directors of CDI Corp.  for the
term for which  elected  and for no  compensation  other  than the  compensation
provided by this  Agreement.  Days of service with the Board of Directors or any
committee of the Board of Directors  shall count as days of  consulting  service
for purposes of Section 2.

     4.   Confidentiality.   Garrison  acknowledges  that  during  his  term  of
employment  with CDI he has had  access to  confidential  information  of both a
technical nature and of a sensitive nature relating to CDI and its customers and
will  continue to have such access during the term of this  Agreement.  Garrison
acknowledges  that such  confidential  information is proprietary,  material and
important  to CDI and its  non-disclosure  is  essential  to the  effective  and
successful conduct of CDI's business.  Garrison agrees that during and after the
term of this Agreement he will hold all of this confidential  information in the
strictest  confidence  and will not use any of it for any  purpose  and will not
publish,   disseminate,   disclose  or  otherwise  make  any  such  confidential
information  available  to  any  third  party,  except  as may  be  required  in
connection with the performance of the consulting  contemplated  under Section 2
of this  Agreement,  or if CDI gives Garrison prior written  consent to use such
confidential information.  Garrison further agrees to return to CDI upon request
all CDI  property  and any other  items that in any way  incorporate,  embody or
reflect any confidential information.

     5.  Non-Competition.  Garrison  represents and warrants that his experience
and capabilities are such that the provisions of this Section 5 will not prevent
him from  earning  his  livelihood,  and  acknowledges  that it would  cause CDI
serious and irreparable  injury and cost if Garrison were to use his ability and
knowledge  in  competition  with  CDI or to  otherwise  breach  the  obligations
contained in this Section 5.

          (a) Garrison  acknowledges  that, it is essential for CDI's protection
that Garrison be restrained  following the termination of Garrison's  employment
with and  consulting  for CDI from  soliciting or inducing any of CDI's officers
and management employees to leave CDI's employ, hiring or attempting to hire any
of CDI's  officers or  management  employees,  soliciting  CDI's  customers  and
suppliers for a competitive  purpose, and competing against CDI for a reasonable
period of time.

          (b) For a  period  of  time  from  the  Effective  Date  to the  fifth
anniversary of the Effective Date, Garrison agrees not to:

                                       31

                                     <PAGE>

               (i) own, manage, operate,  finance, join, control, or participate
in  the  ownership,  management,  operation,  financing  or  control  of,  or be
connected,   directly  or  indirectly,  as  proprietor,   partner,  shareholder,
director, officer, executive, employee, agent, creditor, consultant, independent
contractor,  joint venturer, investor,  representative,  trustee or in any other
capacity or manner whatsoever with, any entity that engages or intends to engage
in any Competing  Business anywhere in the world; but ownership of not more than
one-tenth of one percent (.1%) of the  outstanding  stock of any publicly traded
company will not constitute a violation of this provision.  "Competing Business"
means any business or other enterprise  which engages in any business  conducted
by CDI now or at any time during the Consulting Term; and

               (ii) directly or indirectly,  solicit,  interfere with or attempt
to entice away from CDI,  any officer or  management  employees of CDI or anyone
who was one of CDI's officers or management  employees within 12 months prior to
such contact, solicitation, interference or enticement; and

               (iii) contact, solicit,  interfere with or attempt to entice away
from CDI, any customer on behalf of a Competing Business.

          (c)  References  in this  Section  5 to CDI  shall  include  CDI,  its
subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates.

          (d) Garrison acknowledges that in the event of a breach or threat of a
breach  of any  portion  of  this  Section  5,  CDI's  remedies  at law  will be
inadequate,  and in any such  event CDI will be  entitled  to an  injunction  to
prevent  breaches of this Agreement and to enforce  specifically  the provisions
hereof,  in addition to any other  remedy to which CDI may be entitled at law or
equity.

     6.  Release.  Garrison  hereby,  on behalf  of  himself,  his  descendants,
ancestors, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors,
covenants  not to make any claim or initiate any lawsuit,  and fully and forever
releases  and  discharges  CDI  and  its  subsidiaries,  affiliates,  divisions,
successors, and assigns, together with its past and present directors, officers,
agents,  attorneys,  insurers,  employees,   stockholders,  and  representatives
(hereinafter  collectively  referred  to as the "CDI  Group"),  from any and all
claims,  wages,  demands,  rights,  liens,  agreements,   contracts,  covenants,
actions,  suits,  causes  of  action,   obligations,   debts,  costs,  expenses,
attorneys' fees, damages, judgments, orders or liabilities of whatsoever kind or
nature in law, equity or otherwise,  whether now known or unknown,  suspected or
unsuspected which Garrison now owns or holds or has at any time heretofore owned
or held  against  the CDI Group,  arising  out of or in any way  connected  with
Garrison's  employment or consulting  relationship with CDI, or the cessation of
that  employment  or  consulting   relationship,   or  any  other  transactions,
occurrences,  acts or omissions or any loss, damage or injury whatsoever,  known
or unknown,  suspected or unsuspected,  resulting from any act or omission by or

omitted  prior to the date of this Agreement,  including,  but not  limited to
claims  under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act, any other federal, state or local statute or ordinance which
deals with discrimination or any claim for severance pay, bonus,  salary,  sick
leave,  holiday pay, vacation pay, life insurance, health or medical insurance
or any other fringe benefit or disability benefit.  This  release and waiver of
claims will not apply with  respect to (i) amounts payable to Garrison with
respect to his employment through April 6, 1997 under the Employment Agreement,
(ii) any vested benefits due Garrison under any CDI Corp.  benefit  plan,  or
(iii) any amounts  payable to Garrison  under this Agreement.

     7. Taxes.  The parties  agree that  Garrison  will  perform the  consulting
services  contemplated  by  Section  2  of  this  Agreement  as  an  independent
contractor,  and that the parties  will not take a position on their tax returns
(both federal and state, income and employment) inconsistent with this position.
Garrison warrants and agrees that he is responsible for any federal,  state, and
local  taxes which may be owed by him by virtue of the receipt of any portion of
the  consideration  paid  hereunder  and agrees to fully  indemnify CDI from and
against any and all claims by any governmental  authority relating to Garrison's
failure to fully pay such taxes.

     8.  Termination.  The Consulting  Term shall  automatically  terminate upon
Garrison's death or his inability to perform the consulting  services  requested
of him due to his complete or partial disability.  CDI shall also have the right
to  terminate  this  Agreement,  by the vote of CDI's Board of  Directors  to so
terminate, if Garrison breaches the provisions of this Agreement in any material
respect;  provided,  however,  that a termination of this Agreement by CDI shall
not be effective unless CDI provides written notice to Garrison of its intention
to terminate this Agreement due to Garrison's  breach and Garrison fails, to the
reasonable  satisfaction  of CDI,  to cure the  defects  stated in such  written
notice within thirty (30) days after the notice was given to Garrison.

     9. Legal Advice.  Garrison acknowledges that he has been encouraged to seek
the advice of an  attorney of his choice in regard to this  Agreement.  Garrison
hereby  acknowledges  that he understands the  significance  and consequences of
this  Agreement  and  represents  that the  terms of this  Agreement  are  fully
understood and voluntarily accepted by him.

     10.  Drafting.  Both  Garrison and CDI have  cooperated in the drafting and
preparation of this  Agreement.  Hence,  in any  construction to be made of this
Agreement,  the same shall not be construed  against any party on the basis that
the party was the drafter.

     11.  Revocation  Period.  Garrison  acknowledges that he was given at least
twenty-one (21) days to consider (while  remaining free to execute the Agreement
at an earlier  point in time) the terms of this  Agreement  prior to his signing
it. Garrison  further

                                       33

                                     <PAGE>

understands that he may revoke this Agreement any time up to seven (7) days
following the date he signs the  Agreement by giving  written notice of such
revocation  to CDI.  Such notice must be dated no later than the seventh  (7th)
day  following the date on which he signed the Agreement and must be received
promptly thereafter by CDI.

     12. Counterparts;  Section Headings.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all
of which together  shall  constitute  one and the same  instrument.  The section
headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only.

     13. Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement  constitutes  the entire  agreement
concerning all subject matters addressed herein.  This Agreement  supersedes and
replaces all prior negotiations. All agreements,  proposed or otherwise, whether
written or oral,  concerning all subject matters covered herein are incorporated
into this  Agreement.  If any  provision of this  Agreement is determined by any
court of competent  jurisdiction to be  unenforceable by reason of its extending
for too long a period of time or over too large a geographical area or by reason
of its being too extensive in any other respect,  it will be deemed  reformed to
extend  only over the  longest  period of time for which it may be  enforceable,
and/or  over the  largest  geographical  area as to which it may be  enforceable
and/or  to the  maximum  extent  in all  other  respects  as to  which it may be
enforceable,  all  as  determined  by  such  court  in  such  action.  Any  such
determination of unenforceability or subsequent  reformation will not affect any
other  provision  or  application  of this  Agreement  which can be given effect
without the unenforceable or reformed provision and will not invalidate,  render
unenforceable  or  require  the  reformation  of  such  provision  in any  other
jurisdiction.  The time period for Garrison's obligations contained in Section 5
of this Agreement will be extended beyond the time period  specified  therein by
the length of time, if any, during which he has been in breach (as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,  nonappealable judgment, ruling or
order or by an arbitration) of the provisions in Section 5.

     14. Notices.  All notices required or permitted  hereunder shall be made in
writing  by  hand-delivery,  certified  or  registered  first-class  mail or air
courier  guaranteeing  overnight  delivery to the other  party at the  following
