request of the Company or Condor.

     4.  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

     (a) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's 
employment hereunder for cause. For purposes of this Agreement and subject to 
the Executive's opportunity to cure as provided in Section 4 (c) hereof, the 
Company shall have "cause" to terminate the Executive's employment hereunder 
if such termination shall be the result of:

         (i) willful fraud or dishonesty in connection with the Executive's 
     performance hereunder that results in material harm to the Company or
     Condor;

         (ii) the failure by the Executive to substantially perform his
     duties hereunder that results in material harm to the Company or Condor; or

         (iii) the conviction for, or plea of NOLO CONTENDERE to, a charge of
     commission of a felony.

     (b) TERMINATION FOR GOOD REASON. The Executive shall have the right at 
any time to terminate his employment with the Company at any time and for any 
good reason. For purposes of this Agreement and subject to the Company's 
opportunity to cure as provided in Section 4 ( c) hereof, the Executive shall 
have "good reason" to terminate his employment hereunder if such termination 
shall be the result of:

         (i) a  material  diminution during the Employment Period in the
     Executive's duties or responsibilities as set forth in Section 2 hereof;

                                       3

<PAGE>

         (ii) a material breach by the Company of the compensation and
     benefits provisions set forth in Section 3 hereof;

         (iii) a notice of termination by the Executive under Section 4 (c)
     hereof within 12 months following the occurrence of a Change in Control
     (as defined in Section 4 (e) hereof);

         (iv) a material breach by the Company of any other term of this
     Agreement; or

         (v) Condor shall cause the Company, without the consent of the
     Executive, to relocate the Executive's principal work location to an
     area which is more than 50 miles outside the greater Langhorne,
     Pennsylvania area.

     (c) NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it 
shall be a condition precedent to the Company's right to terminate the 
Executive's employment for "cause" and the Executive's right to terminate his 
employment for "good reason" that (1) the party seeking the termination shall 
first have given the other party written notice stating with specificity the 
reason for the termination ("breach"); (2) if the Executive is terminated for 
"cause," the Company provides the Executive an opportunity to appear before 
the Board to answer such grounds for termination; and (3) if such breach is 
susceptible of cure or remedy, a period of 30 days from and after the giving 
of such notice shall have elapsed without the breaching party having 
effectively cured or remedied such breach during such 30-day period, unless 
such breach cannot be cured or remedied within 30 days, in which case the 
period for remedy or cure shall be extended for a reasonable time (not to 
exceed an additional 30 days), provided the breaching party has made and 
continues to make a diligent effort to effect such remedy or cure.

     (d) TERMINATION UPON DEATH OR PERMANENT AND TOTAL DISABILITY. The 
Employment Period shall be terminated by the death of the Executive. The 
Employment Period may be terminated by the Company if the Executive shall be 
rendered incapable of performing his duties to the Company by reason of a 
"disability," defined as either (i) any medically determined physical or 
mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or that can be 
expected to last for a period of six or more consecutive months from the 
first date of the Executive's absence, or (ii) due to a total and permanent 
"disability" that can be expected to last for a period of six or more 
consecutive months from the first date of the Executive's absence, as such 
term is defined in the Company's long term disability insurance policy or 
contract as may be in effect from time to time for the benefit of employees 
of the Company (either, a "Disability"). If the Employment Period is 
terminated by reason of a Disability of the Executive, the Company shall give 
30 days' advance written notice to that effect to the Executive. If the 
existence of a Disability hereunder is in dispute, it shall be resolved by 
two physicians, one appointed by the Executive and one appointed by the 
Company. If the two physicians

                                       4

<PAGE>

so selected cannot agree as to whether or not the Executive has a Disability, 
the two physicians so selected shall designate a third physician and a 
majority of the three physicians so selected shall determine whether or not 
the Executive has a Disability.

     (e) DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. A "Change in Control" shall be
deemed to have occurred if:

     (i) there shall be consummated any consolidation or merger of Condor in 
which Condor is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to 
which shares of Condor's capital stock are converted into cash, securities or 
other property other than a consolidation or merger of Condor in which the 
holders of Condor's voting stock immediately prior to the consolidation or 
merger shall, upon consummation of the consolidation or merger, own at least 
50% of the voting stock of the surviving corporation, or any sale, lease, 
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions 
contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or 
substantially all of the assets of Condor; or

     (ii) any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14 (d)(2) of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") ) shall 
after the date hereof become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 
and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of 
Condor representing 35% or more of the voting power of all then outstanding 
securities of Condor having the right under ordinary circumstances to vote in 
an election of the Board (including, without limitation, any securities of 
Condor that any such person has the right to acquire pursuant to any 
agreement, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or 
otherwise, which shall be deemed beneficially owned by such person); or

     (iii) individuals who at the date hereof constitute the entire Board and 
any new directors whose election by the Board, or whose nomination for 
election by Condor's stockholders, shall have been approved by a vote of at 
least a majority of the directors then in office who either were directors at 
the date hereof or whose election or nomination for election shall have been 
so approved (the "Continuing Directors") shall cease for any reason to 
constitute a majority of the members of the Board; or

     (iv) the sale by Condor of the majority of the capital stock of the 
Company or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the 
liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

5.   CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION.

(a)  TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR GOOD REASON. In the event of 
termination of the Executive's employment hereunder by the Company without 
"cause" (other than upon death or Disability) or by the Executive for "good 
reason" (each as defined in Section 4 hereof), the Executive shall be 
entitled to the following severance pay and benefits:

                                       5

<PAGE>


     (i) SEVERANCE PAY - severance payments in the form of continuation of 
the Executive's base salary as in effect immediately prior to such

     Company's obligation to provide such coverages shall be terminated if
     the Executive obtains comparable substitute coverage from another
     employer at any time during the Severance Period. The Executive shall
     be entitled, at the expiration of the Severance Period, to elect
     continued medical coverage in accordance with section 4980B of the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any successor provision
     thereto); and

     Incentive Plan, shall remain exercisable for the duration of the
     Severance Period.

award agreements relating to the Executive.

hereunder for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to payment of any 
unpaid portion of his base salary through the effective date of termination, 
and payment of any accrued but unpaid rights solely in accordance with the 
terms of any incentive bonus, stock option or employee benefit plan or 
program of the Company.

     6.  CONFIDENTIALITY.

The Executive agrees that he will not at any time during the Term hereof or

confidential information or trade secrets concerning the business of the 
Company or Condor, including, without limiting the

<PAGE>

generality of the foregoing, the techniques, methods or systems of its 
operation or management, any information regarding its financial matters, or 
any other material information concerning the business of the Company or 
Condor, its manner of operation, its plans or other material data. The

of value to Company or Condor. The Executive hereby assigns to the Company 
all right, title and interest in such contributions and inventions made or 
conceived by the Executive alone or jointly with others during the Employment 
Period that relate to the business of the Company or Condor. This assignment 
shall include (a) the right to file and prosecute patent applications on such 
inventions in any and all countries, (b) the patent applications filed and 
patents issuing thereon, and (c) the right to obtain copyright, trademark or 
trade name protection for any such work product. The Executive shall promptly 
and fully disclose all such contributions and inventions to the Company and 
assist the Company and Condor in obtaining and protecting the rights therein 
(including patents thereon) in any and all countries; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that 
said contributions and inventions will be the property of the Company, 
whether or not patented or registered for copyright, trademark or trade name 
protection, as the case may be. The Executive hereby agrees to execute any 
documentation requested by the Company or Condor to be so executed if such 
request is made in order to carry out the purpose and terms of this 
paragraph. Inventions conceived by the Executive that are not related to the 
business of the Company or Condor will remain the property of the Executive.

     8.  NON-COMPETITION.

Company or Condor is doing business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 
Executive shall not be prohibited during the non-competition period 
applicable above from acting as a passive investor where he owns not more 
than one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any 
publicly-held company. During the period that the above non-competition 
restriction applies, the Executive shall not, without the written consent of 
Condor, solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or Condor or any 
current or future subsidiary or affiliate thereof to terminate his or her 
employment.

     9.  BREACH OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

The parties agree that a breach or violation of Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof will 
result in immediate and irreparable injury and harm to the innocent party, 
which party shall have, in addition to any and all remedies of law and other 
consequences under this Agreement, the right to an injunction, specific 
performance or other equitable relief to prevent the violation of the 
obligation hereunder.

fees and expenses that the Executive may incur in respect of any dispute or 
controversy arising against the Company under or in connection with this

by the Executive was substantially without merit or the Executive is 
otherwise unsuccessful in such an action.

continuing waiver or consent to any subsequent breach on the part of either 
the Executive or of the Company.

     13. NON-ASSIGNMENT: SUCCESSORS.

Neither party hereto may assign his or its rights or delegate his or its 
duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other 
party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) subject to the rights of the Executive 
under Section 4(b) hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and 
be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company upon any sale of 
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or upon any merger, 
consolidation or reorganization of the Company with or into any other 
corporation, all as though such successors and assigns of the Company and 
their respective successors and assigns were the Company; (ii) this Agreement 
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, assigns or 
designees of the Executive to the extent of any payments due to the Executive 
hereunder; and (iii) this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Condor. As 
used in this Agreement, the term "Company" shall be deemed to refer to any 
such successor or assign or the Company referred to in the preceding sentence.

     14. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

All payments required to be made by the Company to the Executive under this 
Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, 
relating to tax, and other payroll deductions as the Company may reasonably 
determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

invalid or

                                       9

<PAGE>


unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted therefrom and the 
remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and 
shall continue in full force and effect.

     16. COUNTERPARTS.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which 
shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute 
one and the same instrument.

     17. GOVERNING LAW.

This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance 
with the laws of the State of Virginia.

     18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
