NOT APPROVED THIS RESPONSE. THIS PROPOSAL HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED BY THE CONDOR
BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND IS SUBJECT TO ITS CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL, AS WELL
AS OTHER CORPORATE ACTION. THE CONTENTS OF THIS RESPONSE, AS WELL AS THE FACT
THAT IT WAS MADE AND COMMUNICATED, SHALL CONSTITUTE CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT
COMMUNICATIONS WHICH MAY NOT BE EMPLOYED FOR ANY PURPOSE IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING, CASE, OR MATTER BY, BETWEEN OR INVOLVING ANY OF THE PARTIES TO

BE BINDING ON ANY PARTY TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNLESS AND UNTIL ITS TERMS
SHALL HAVE BEEN EMBODIED IN DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTATION DULY EXECUTED BY ALL

HAVE THE MEANINGS WHICH THOSE TERMS HAVE IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

1.       Note A:  $15m Term Loan (4 Year Maturity)

         -  Interest Rate - Prime plus 0.50%; payable commencing April 1, 2001

4.       Note D: Remaining Principal Balance Plus Interest Accrued Prior to

         -  Issued by the Borrower
         Principal payable on January 2, 2002 (the "Note D Maturity Date").
         To the extent not paid in full on January 2, 2002, Note D shall bear
         interest thereafter at the rate of 15% per annum.

         -  If Condor issues the Common Stock (as defined herein) to the
         Trust (as defined herein) on or prior to the Note D Maturity Date,
         then the Borrower's obligations under Note D shall be deemed
         satisfied in full.

         measured quarterly on a rolling four quarter basis at the following
         amounts: [TO BE DETERMINED]

6.       ISSI royalty stream transferred to Lenders. As payments are
         received, monies are applied to Note A (and then to Note C, if
         outstanding) in reverse order of maturity, (i.e., balloon first).
         Thereafter, Note B is reduced.

7.       Mandatory prepayment of all asset sale proceeds to Note A (and then
         to Note C, if outstanding) in reverse order of maturity (i.e.,
         balloon first). Thereafter, Note B is reduced. Sales must be
         approved in writing by the Lenders.

8.       Borrower is authorized to settle the obligations to earnout
         creditors on terms substantially the same as are set forth in a
         letter of intent with Marbury Manor LLC, a Settlement Agreement with
         Howard Schapiro and a Settlement Agreement with the FCC/Hartland
         Group, respectively, in the form attached to this Term Sheet, and
         shall not settle the earnout obligations on any other terms without
         prior bank consent.

9.       Ownership Restructure (in exchange for reduction of $11.5mm of debt,
         plus accrued but unpaid interest prior to April 1, 2001).

-        Condor will take the following recapitalization steps, subject to
         approval of Condor stockholders, described below:

         A.       First, a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of the
                  Company in a ratio to be determined by the Company.

         B.       Second, the issuance to a trust established by the Lender
                  Group (the "Trust"), of that number of Common shares that will
                  represent 55% of

<PAGE>

                  all outstanding shares of the Company, following the
                  actions described below (including contemplated future
                  issuances in C below).

         C.       Third, the issuance or reservation for future issuance of
                  additional shares of Common Stock to provide for (a)
                  settlement of all earnout obligations of the Company; and (b)
                  issuances under certain Board-approved stock-based management
                  incentive plans of the Company (including outstanding stock
                  options of the Company). These shares, together with "old
                  equity" shares, shall aggregate not less than 45% of all
                  shares outstanding (including contemplated future issuances).

         The foregoing proposed stock issuances and stock reserves will be
         submitted for approval to Stockholders of the Company at the Annual
         Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 3, 2001 (record date March
         9, 2001), as part of a proposal for the recapitalization of the
         Company.

         The Trust shall issue to the members of the Lender Group, Note D, in
         the amount of $11.5mm that shall be secured by the Common Stock. Any
         amounts remaining in the Trust following the disposition of the
         stock shall be distributed to the participants in the Trust in
         accordance with their interests.

         All interests in the Trust and all of the Notes shall be freely
         assignable by each of the Lenders in any combination (subject to the
         consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
         withheld).

10.      The Borrowers shall continue to engage as part of the management
         team a professional manager acceptable to the Lenders and the
         Company and shall utilize such professional manager at all times
         until the above-referenced notes are paid in full (unless consented
         to by all the Lenders). The professional manager, in conjunction
         with other members of management, will report to and act on behalf
         of the Board of Directors to implement and carry out the business
         plan.

11.      The business plan that has been provided to the Lenders should be
         expanded to include the financial detail and assumptions that
         support and upon which the plan is based. The completed business
         plan with the supporting detail should be delivered to the lenders
         by a mutually agreeable date. The business plan must be acceptable
         to all members of the Borrowers' management team, including, without
         limitation, the professional manager. The events that would trigger
         an event of default would be the failure of the Company to deliver a
         revised business plan.
