             NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 31st day of December, 1999,
by and between Computer Horizons Corp., a New York corporation (hereinafter
called the "Company"), and Michael Shea, an individual employee of the
Company (hereinafter called the "Participating Employee").

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Participating Employee is currently performing valuable
services for the Company in the capacity of VP; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") desires to
encourage the Participating Employee to continue in the employ of the Company
and to continue the performance of his duties of employment in a capable and
efficient manner; and

     WHEREAS, the Participating Employee is willing to continue in the employ
of the Company and to continue the capable and efficient performance of his
employment duties; and

     WHEREAS, the Participating Employee is considered by the Company to be a
highly compensated employee or member of a select management group of the
Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises hereof, the Company and
the Participating Employee agree as follows:

     1. RETIREMENT BENEFIT. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in
this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees that if the Participating Employee
remains continuously employed by the Company from the date hereof until he
attains age 65, the Company will pay to the Participating Employee a lump sum
amount of $1,000,000 as soon as practicable following his Normal Retirement
Date (as defined in Paragraph 2 below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
Participating Employee who has attained the age of 55 at the time he executes
this Agreement and remains continuously employed until he attains age 65
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, receive a lump
sum amount of $250,000 as soon as practicable following his Normal
Retirement Date.

     In lieu of receiving payment in a lump sum, the Participating Employee
may elect, at the time he executes the Agreement or at any other time which
is more than 24 months prior to attaining age 65, to elect to receive annual
installments of his Retirement Benefits payable over 10 years. The first
installment to be paid on the Participating Employee's Normal Retirement Date
will be equal to 1/10 of the lump sum. The remaining balance shall be
credited with "earnings" (which includes gains and losses, whether realized
or not realized) on each anniversary of the Participating Employee's Normal
Retirement Date with subsequent annual payments of 1/9, 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5,
1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/1 of the remaining balance including "earnings". "Earnings"
shall be determined based on a measuring factor selected by the Company in
its sole discretion.

<Page>

     If the Participating Employee dies after reaching the age of sixty-five
(65), but prior to receiving a lump sum or all of the installment payments
due hereunder, the lump sum or remaining installment payments otherwise due
shall be made to the Participating Employee's Beneficiary(ies) in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon payment to the Participating
Employee and/or his Beneficiary(ies) of the lump sum or a total amount equal
to 10 annual payments, no further benefits shall be due under this Agreement.

     2. NORMAL RETIREMENT DATE. The Participating Employee and the Company
agree that, except with respect to the Participating Employee's retirement
due to disability, as defined in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement, the
Participating Employee shall retire from the Company on the day of the month
in which the Participating Employee attains sixty-five (65) years of age to
the extent such termination of employment is permitted as a stated exception
from applicable federal and state age discrimination laws based on position
and retirement benefits. Such date shall, for purposes of this Agreement,
be the Participating Employee's "Normal Retirement Date." However,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participating Employee may continue his
employment with the Company beyond his sixty-fifth birthday to any later date
agreed to by the Company and the Participating Employee. In such event, the
Participating Employee's Normal Retirement Date for purposes of this
Agreement shall be the day of the month in which the Participating Employee
actually retires from employment after attaining the age of 65. For purposes
of this Agreement only, should the Participating Employee die or become
permanently disabled after attaining sixty-five (65) years of age, but prior
to such extended "Normal Retirement Date," then the Participating Employee's
"Normal Retirement Date" shall be deemed to be the day of the month in which
such death or disability occurs.

     3. RETIREMENT DUE TO TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees that if the
Participating Employee retires from continuous employment with the Company
prior to age 65 due to his total and permanent disability as defined in this
Paragraph, the Participating Employee shall be deemed to have continued
employment with the Company only for purposes of this Agreement until age 65
and the Participating Employee will be entitled to the Retirement Benefits
set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Agreement.

     For purposes of this Agreement, "total and permanent disability," or any
words or phrase of similar effect, means any medically determinable physical
or mental disorder which renders the Participating Employee incapable of
continuing in the employ of the Company in the position he was employed on
the date he incurred the disability. An employee shall be considered totally
and permanently disabled and unable to continue in the employ of the Company
upon a good faith determination by the Board that he is totally and
permanently disabled based on the medical evidence as the Board may, in its
sole discretion, require to make such determination.

     4. ACCRUAL AND VESTING OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS. The Participating
Employee will accrue (and has accrued) a portion of the Retirement Benefits
specified in Paragraph 1 hereof evenly over the Participating Employee's
total years of service with the Company until and including the year in which
the Participating Employee attains age 65. A year is defined to include any
portion of a particular year.

                                     2

<Page>

     Accrued benefits for the Participating Employee will vest on a
straight-line basis over 15 years of coverage under this Agreement
(commencing as of the date hereof) as an employee of the Company or at age 65
(provided he remains continuously employed by the Company until attaining age
65), whichever is the first to occur. The benefit to be paid will be
determined by multiplying the total accrued benefit by the applicable vested
percentage.

     If the Participating Employee terminates employment before age 65, other
than due to death or total and permanent disability, the amount of the
Participating Employee's vested accrued benefit at the time of such
termination will be deferred and shall be paid as soon as practicable after
the Participating Employee attains the age of 65. An example for a
Participating Employee who executes this Agreement prior to age 55 is as
follows:

     EXAMPLE: The Participating Employee executes the Agreement at age 50 and
     has been with the Company since age 40 (10 years). The employee has been
     covered by the Agreement as an employee of the Company for one year
     (current age 51). The Participating Employee's vested accrued benefits
     as of such date are as follows:

     ACCRUED BENEFIT: Total years with the Company divided by (DIVIDED BY)
     total years possible with the Company through age 65 = 11/25, or 44%.

     VESTED BENEFIT: Years covered by the Agreement as an employee of the
     Company divided by (DIVIDED BY) 15 years = 1/15, or 6-2/3%.

     EARNED BENEFIT: Accrued benefit percentage multiplied by vested benefit
     percentage multiplied by Retirement Benefit: 44% x 6-2/3% x $1 million
     = $29,304.

     Should the executive leave after one year of coverage under the
     Agreement as an employee of the Company, a benefit of $29,304 would be
     payable as soon as practicable after the Participating Employee's
     attainment of age 65.

     5. PRE-RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT

     (a) Should the Participating Employee die after a termination of
     employment with a vested deferred accrued benefit prior to age 65, the
     amount of such benefit shall be paid in a lump sum to the deceased's
     designated Beneficiary(ies) as soon as practicable after the date of the
     Participating Employee's death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
     amount of such vested deferred accrued benefit is less than $500,000,
     the Company agrees to make an additional payment so that the total
     benefit is equal to $500,000.

     (b) Should the Participating Employee die prior to age 65 during
     employment with the Company, an amount equal to the greater of $500,000
     or the Participating Employee's vested accrued benefit shall be paid in
     a lump sum to the deceased's designated Beneficiary(ies) as soon as
     practicable after the date of the Participating Employee's death.

                                       3

<Page>

     (c) Notwithstanding the provision for payment of a lump sum death
     benefit in (a) and (b) above, the Company may, in its sole discretion,
     elect to pay out the amount of a lump sum death benefit over 10 years
     commencing on the Participating Employee's date of death, i.e., 1/10 of
     the lump sum payment in the first year, 1/9 of the remaining balance in
     the second year, 1/8 of the remaining balance in the third year, and so
     on until the entire remaining balance is payable in the tenth year.
     Amounts remaining during the payment of installments shall continue to
     be credited with "earnings" in accordance with Section 1 herein from the
     Participating Employee's date of death. The Participating Employee or
     any Beneficiary(ies) will be bound by the Company's decision.

     If the Participating Employee becomes totally and permanently disabled,
as defined herein, while continuously employed or deemed to be continuously
employed by the Company and prior to age 65, the death of such Participating
Employee while continuously disabled and prior to age 65 shall be regarded as
a death during continuous employment.

     6. BENEFICIARY(IES). The Participating Employee's Beneficiary(ies) under
this Agreement shall be as designated by the Participating Employee on
Schedule "A", attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement. The
Participating Employee may change his designated Beneficiary(ies) by filing
written notice of such change with the Company which shall be attached to
this Agreement as a revised Schedule "A". If the Participating Employee does
not designate a Beneficiary on Schedule "A", or if all (or any) of the
designated Beneficiary(ies) should die prior to payment of all benefits due
hereunder, then the Participating Employee's Beneficiary hereunder with
regard to such amount shall be his surviving spouse, if any. If there is not
a surviving spouse or if the surviving spouse should die prior to payment of
all benefits due hereunder, then the applicable amount of the Participating
Employee's remaining benefit shall be paid in a lump sum to the Participating
Employee's personal representative, to be administered as part of the
Participating Employee's estate.

     7. NATURE OF EMPLOYER'S OBLIGATION. The Company's sole obligation under
this Agreement shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay the benefits
in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The Company
shall not be obligated under any circumstances to fund its obligations under
this Agreement. Any assets which the Company may acquire to help satisfy or
discharge its obligation are general assets of the Company subject to the
claims of its creditors. Neither the Company nor the benefit created by this
Agreement gives, nor does the Participating Employee receive, any beneficial
ownership interest in any asset of the Company, and all rights of ownership
in any such assets shall remain in the Company.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may establish a "rabbi trust"
as described in Rev. Proc. 92-64, 1992-2 C.B. 422 as promulgated by the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or any subsequent guidance issued by the
IRS, whereby trust assets will be held, subject to the claims of the
Company's creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency, until paid to
the Participating Employee and/or any designated Beneficiary(ies) under the
terms of this Agreement.

                                       4

     8. NON-SECURED PROMISE. The rights of the Participating Employee and any
designated Beneficiary(ies) of the Participating Employee, or any other
person claiming through the Participating Employee under this Agreement,
shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Except
as provided in Section 7 hereof, the Participating Employee and/or the
designated Beneficiary(ies) of the Participating Employee shall have the
right to receive payments specified under this Agreement only from the
Company and shall have no right to any specific assets of the Company, or any
specific or special property separate from the Company, to satisfy or
discharge any claim for benefits.

     Any assets used or acquired by the Company in connection with its
obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed held under any trust for
the benefit of the Participating Employee or his designated Beneficiary(ies),
nor shall any such assets be considered security for the performance of the
obligations of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action
taken pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement shall create or be
construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company, the
Participating Employee, his Beneficiary(ies) or any other person.

      The Participating Employee also agrees that his participation in the
acquisition of any such assets for the Company shall not constitute a
representation to the Participating Employee, his designated
Beneficiary(ies), or any person claiming through the Participating Employee,
that any of them has a special or beneficial interest in such assets.

     9. INDEPENDENCE OF BENEFITS. The benefits payable under this Agreement
shall be independent of, and in addition to, any other benefits or
compensation, whether by salary, bonus, or otherwise, payable under any other
agreements that now exist, to the extent not revoked or superseded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts accrued hereunder shall not be
included in creditable compensation in computing benefits under any employee
benefit plan of the Company except to the extent expressly provided for
therein. This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of
employment between the parties, nor shall any provision restrict the right of
the Company to discharge the Participating Employee, with or without cause,
or restrict the right of the Participating Employee to terminate his
employment with the Company.

     10. ASSIGNMENT. Neither the Participating Employee nor his
Beneficiary(ies) shall have the right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, or
otherwise convey the right to receive any payments hereunder, which payments
and the rights thereto are declared to be non-assignable and
non-transferable. The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company, it successors and assigns and the Participating
Employee, his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. In
the event that the Company sells all or substantially all of the assets of
its business and the acquiror of such assets assumes the obligations
hereunder, the Company shall be released from any liability imposed hereunder
and shall have no obligation to pay or provide any benefits payable hereunder.

     11. ACCELERATION OF PAYMENTS. (a) The Company reserves the right, in its
sole and absolute discretion, to accelerate the payment of any benefits
payable under this Agreement without the consent of the Participating
Employee, his estate, his designated recipients, or any other person claiming
through the Participating Employee.

                                       5

     (b) Notwithstanding anything else herein, upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control that occurs prior to the date the Participating Employee's
employment with the Company terminates the Participating Employee shall be
fully vested in his Retirement Benefit set forth in Paragraph 1 of this
Agreement and such benefit shall be paid to the Participating Employee (or if
he dies prior to payment, his designated Beneficiary(ies)) within 5 days
after the date on which the Change of Control occurs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event the Participating Employee's employment is terminated
without Cause within ninety (90) days prior to the occurrence of a Change of
Control, such termination shall, upon occurrence of the Change in Control,
be deemed to be covered by the preceding sentence. For purposes of this
Agreement: (i) "Change of Control" shall mean: (A) in the case where there is
an employment agreement in effect between the Participating Employee and the
Company that defines "Change of Control", "Change of Control" as defined
under such employment agreement, or (B) in the case where there is no
employment agreement in effect between the Participating Employee and the
Company, or where there is such an employment agreement, but the employment
agreement does not define "Change of Control", "Change of Control" as defined
in the Computer Horizons Corp. 1994 Incentive Stock Option and Appreciation
Plan as in effect on May 4, 1994" and (ii) "Cause" shall mean: (A) in the
case where there is an employment agreement in effect between the
Participating Employee and the Company that defines "Cause", "Cause" as
defined in such employment agreement, or (B) in the case where there is no
employment agreement in effect between the Participating Employee and the
Company, or where there is such an employment agreement but the employment
agreement does not define "Cause", termination due to a Participating
Employee's dishonesty, fraud, insubordination, willful misconduct, refusal to
perform services (for any reason other than illness or incapacity) or the
Participating Employee's unsatisfactory performance of his or her duties for
the Company.

     12. CLAIMS PROCEDURE.

     a. Claim.

     A person who believes that he is being denied a benefit to which he is
     entitled under the Agreement (hereinafter referred to as a "Claimant")
     may file a written request for such benefit with the Board setting forth
     his claim. The request must be addressed to the President of the Company
     at the Company's then principal place of business.

     b. Claim Decision.

     Upon receipt of a claim, the Board shall advise the Claimant that a
     reply will be forthcoming within ninety (90) days and shall, in fact,
     deliver such reply within such period. The Company may, however, extend
     the reply period for an additional ninety (90) days (if the Claimant is
     so notified, including notification of the reason for delay) for
     reasonable cause.

     If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Board shall adopt a
     written opinion, using language calculated to be understood by the
     Claimant, setting forth:

     (a) The specific reason or reasons for such denial;

                                       6

<Page>

     (b) The specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Agreement on
     which such denial is based;

     (c) A description of any additional material or information necessary
     for the Claimant to perfect his claim and an explanation why such
     material or such information is necessary;

     (d) Appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant
     wishes to submit the claim for review; and

     (e) The time limits for requesting a review under subparagraph (c.) and
     for review under subparagraph (d.) hereof.

c.   Request for Review.

     Within sixty (60) days after the receipt by the Claimant of the written
     opinion described above, the Claimant may request in writing that the
     Secretary of the Company review the determination of the Board. Such
     request must be addressed to the Secretary of the Company, at its then
     principal place of business. The Claimant or his duly authorized
     representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and
     submit issues and comments in writing. If the Claimant does not request
     a review of the Board's determination by the Secretary of the Company
     within such sixty (60) day period, he shall be barred and estopped from
     challenging the Board's determination.

d.   Review of Decision.

     Within sixty (60) days after the Secretary's receipt of a request for
     review, he will review the Board's determination. After considering all
     materials presented by the Claimant, the Secretary will render a written
     opinion, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
     Claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and
     containing specific references to the pertinent provisions of this
     Agreement on which the decision is based. If special circumstances
     require that the sixty (60) day time period be extended, the Secretary
     will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as
     possible, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt
     of the request for review.

e.   The Board may at any time alter the claims procedure set forth above, so
     long as the revised claims procedure complies with the Employee
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations
     issued thereunder.

f.   The Board and the Secretary of the Company shall have the full power and
     authority to interpret, construe and administer the Agreement in their
     sole discretion based on the provisions of the Agreement. Both the
     Board's and the Secretary's interpretations and construction thereof,
     and actions thereunder, including, without limitation, any determination
     under this Paragraph 12, shall be final, conclusive and binding on all

                                       7

<Page>

     persons for all persons. No member of the Board or any employee of the
     Company shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in
     connection with the interpretation and administration of this Agreement.

     13. AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be amended in whole or in
part by written agreement between the Company and the Participating Employee;
provided, that the claims procedure set forth in Paragraph 12 may be altered
by the Board in accordance with subparagraph 12(e.).

     14. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the rights of the
Participating Employee and the obligations of the Company hereunder may be
terminated at any time by the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof)
without the consent of the Participating Employee, and with written notice of
such termination given to the Participating Employee. Upon such termination,
neither the Participating Employee nor his Beneficiary(ies) shall have any
rights against the Company to any benefit or rights hereunder and the
Company's obligations shall be null and void; provided, however, that the
preceding provision shall not permit the Company to terminate its obligation
to pay any benefits otherwise accrued and vested at the time of such
termination.

     15. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be
illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision never existed.

     16. WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right to make such
provisions as it deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any obligations it
may have to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred
by reason of payments pursuant to this Agreement. Amounts payable hereunder
shall also be subject to payroll taxes as required by applicable law.

     17. MINORS AND INCOMPETENTS. If the Board shall find that any person to
whom payment is payable under this Agreement is unable to care for his
affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, any payment due
(unless a prior claim therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed
guardian, committee or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse,
a child, parent, or brother or sister, or to any person deemed by the Board
to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment, in
such manner and proportions as the Board may determine. Any such payment
shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Company under this
Agreement.

     18. PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. The paragraph headings in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing
this Agreement.

     19. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement was made and entered into in the State
of New Jersey, and, to the extent not governed by ERISA, the laws of said
State shall govern the construction of this Agreement and the rights and
liabilities of the parties hereto.

                              FIRST AMENDMENT
                                     TO
            NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT AGREEMENT

     This First Amendment made as of Dec. 23, 1998 to the NON-QUALIFIED
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT AGREEMENT between WILLIAM J. MURPHY (the
"Executive") and the COMPUTER HORIZONS CORP. (the "Company"), dated as of
January 1, 1997 (the "Agreement").

     WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company have previously entered into the
Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend the Agreement in
accordance with Section 12 thereof to provide for immediate vesting and
payment of retirement benefits upon a change of control of the Company.

     NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree to amend the Agreement, effective as of

2.   The second sentence of the first paragraph of Section 8 of the
Agreement is amended to read as follows:

     "Except as provided in Section 7 hereof, the Participating Employee
     and/or the designated Beneficiary(ies) of the Participating Employee
     shall have the right to receive payments specified under this Agreement
     only from the Company and shall have no right to any specific assets of
     the Company, or any specific or special property separate from the
     Company, to satisfy or discharge any claim for benefits."

3.   Section 11 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

           "11. ACCELERATION OF PAYMENTS. (a) The Company reserves the right,
     in its sole and absolute discretion, to accelerate the payment of any
     benefits payable under this Agreement without the consent of the
     Participating Employee, his estate, his designated recipients, or any
     other person claiming through the Participating Employee.

           (b) Notwithstanding anything else herein, upon the occurrence of a
     Change of Control the Participating Employee shall be fully vested in
     his Retirement Benefit set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Agreement and
     such benefit shall be paid to the Participating Employee (or if he dies
     prior to payment, his designated Beneficiary(ies)) within 5 days after
     the date on which the Change of Control occurs. For purposes of this
     Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean: (i) in the case where there
     is an employment agreement in effect between the Participating Employee
     and the Company that defines "Change of Control", "Change of Control" as
     defined under such employment agreement, or (ii) in the case where there
     is no employment agreement in effect between the Participating Employee
     and the Company, or where there is such an employment agreement, but the
     employment agreement does not define "Change of Control", "Change of
     Control" as defined in the Computer Horizons Corp. 1994 Incentive Stock
     Option and Appreciation Plan as in effect on May 4, 1994."
