Michael C. Louden

Lutherville, Maryland 21093

Dear Mike:

         This letter confirms our recent discussions and e-mail exchanges
regarding our proposal for your future employment relationship with Condor
Technology Solutions, Inc. ("Condor" or the "Company") and the restructuring
of earn-out obligations owed to Marbury Manor LLC ("Marbury") and others by
Condor in conjunction with the restructuring of the Company's obligations to
its senior secured lenders.

A.  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      You will be offered an employment agreement with Condor effective April
1, 2001, containing the following terms and conditions:

      1.  The term will be for three years, mutually renewable by the Company
and you on an annualized basis. The agreement will be terminable by Condor
only for malfeasance or gross failure of performance, or upon your death or
disability. Condor's obligations will continue following any change of
control of the company, should you choose to leave following the change in
control for any reason. A "change of control" for purposes of this letter
shall not be deemed to be or include a transfer of shares of Condor Common
Stock held by a Bank established trust or other bank nominee to a member of
the lender group under Condor's credit facility with First Union National
Bank, as collateral agent, and others, dated April 16, 1999, as amended.

      2.  You will receive a base salary of $200,000 per year plus customary
benefits offered to senior executives of Condor. Your base salary will be
reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and may be increased, but not
decreased. Condor's obligations to you under your employment agreement shall
cease in the event you terminate your employment voluntarily.

      3.  You will hold the position of Executive Vice President of Condor,
with the responsibility to consolidate and manage three Condor divisions into
a single organization to be

initially known as Condor Interactive. You will report directly to me as
President and Chief Executive Officer. I will recommend that the Condor Board
appoint you as a Director, and that the Board recommend you for election by
the shareholders to a three-year term as a Director at the Company's 2001
Annual Meeting. Your employment agreement shall have a non-solicitation
provision and a non-competition provision during the period of your
employment and one year thereafter; provided, however, such obligations shall
terminate in the event a bankruptcy petition is filed by or against Condor by
any party (other than you or your affiliates) and you depart the employ of
the Company.

      4.  We have set Condor Interactive's 2001 revenue goal at $64,953,606
and its EBITDA goal at $6,497,939. We also assume that revenue and EBITDA
will grow by ten percent a year for 2002 and 2003. You will be entitled to
receive, as a quarterly bonus due within 45 days of quarter close, incentive
payments of (a) 5% of an amount in excess of quarterly EBITDA targets and (b)
1% of an amount in excess of quarterly revenue targets. Any deficit to target
in EBITDA or revenue realization in one quarter will be carried forward to
future quarters. EBITDA will be calculated net of any monthly principal
payments applied to notes due to Marbury in satisfaction of earn-out
obligations from VA call center contract revenues, as described under Section
D below. Any discretionary bonuses paid to you and/or me upon Board approval
will be deemed to be made after EBITDA calculations.

      5.  You will be granted 200,000 options to acquire Company stock at the
lesser of $0.10 per share or the final trading price per share immediately
prior to the Annual Meeting. The options will fully vest in six months from
April 1, or on October 1, 2001.

      6.  Condor will establish a phantom stock plan of 500,000 shares priced
at $0.10 per share. You will be entitled to no less than 250,000 phantom
shares under the plan. Payouts under the plan will be based upon annual
increases in market value of the shares depending upon cash availability.
Missed payouts will be credited toward your notional balance in the plan, and
be due upon a change in control of Condor or the sale of substantially all of
the Company's assets.

B.  TRANSACTION INCENTIVE AGREEMENT

      Condor will offer us an exclusive Transaction Incentive Agreement for a
reasonable period to sell all or parts of the Company (excluding the sale of
all or a portion of the EPSD business unit of Condor within one year), to one
or more third parties, should the Board determine that such a transaction
will be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders at any time
prior to April 2005. The incentive arrangements will be comparable to
competitive investment banking formulas and stated as a percentage of the
sale proceeds, which you and I will share at the closing. The amount of the
commission referenced above to be paid to you for the sale of the Company
will not exceed one percent (1%) of the sales proceeds and debt assumed by
the buyer, but this amount may be increased based on further discussions with
the Condor Board of Directors. The precise terms of these arrangements will
be worked out between you, me and the Company in good faith, and be subject
to Board approval.

C.  RESTRUCTURING OF OBLIGATIONS TO SENIOR LENDER GROUP AND EARN-OUT CREDITORS

      Assuming that the Company's senior lender group agrees and subject to
final Board and shareholder approval, the Company's obligations will be
restructured as follows:

      1.  The Banks and the earn-out creditors will exchange their
indebtedness due from the Company for two separate notes each, and for shares
of the Company's common stock to be issued immediately following the
Company's Annual Meeting.

          -    Note 1 for each holder will accrue and pay quarterly interest
               on outstanding principal at the First Union base rate plus 50
               basis points, with remaining principal and interest due on
               April 1, 2005. The principal on Note 1 will amortize quarterly
               and be due on the final business day of each quarter as
               follows: (a) 1.67% of initial principal for the third and
               fourth quarters of 2001; (b) 2.67% of initial principal for
               each quarter of 2002; and (c) 3.5% of initial principal for
               each quarter of 2003 and 2004.

          -    Note 2 for each holder will be a non-amortizing, bullet note
               due on April 1, 2005. Interest will not accrue until the
               second quarter of 2003, and will then accrue and be payable on
               the last business day of each quarter at 15% per annum.

          -    The lenders and each earn-out creditor will receive shares of
               common stock for current outstanding indebtedness not covered
               by Notes 1 and Notes 2. Based upon an assumed equity
               capitalization of $20,090,000 for the Company following
               restructuring, the lenders and earn-out creditors will share
               approximately seventy percent of the then outstanding equity.
               Existing shareholders will receive at least fifteen percent of
               outstanding equity and up to fifteen percent of new equity
               will be reserved for management options and other stock-based
               compensation through April 1, 2005.

      2.  Notes 1 and Notes 2 held by the Banks will be senior secured notes
issued under a restructured credit agreement containing only a quarterly
EBITDA covenant, a $1 million revolving credit facility and a letter of
credit sub-facility. Notes 1 and Notes 2 held by the earn-out creditors will
be junior unsecured notes. Any payment defaults on the junior notes will not
cross-default to the senior notes, which will have priority on principal and
interest payments. Payment defaults on the junior notes will be accretive to
principal and will not be due and payable until April 1, 2005. Condor may
prepay principal and accrued interest on the junior notes at any time from
the ten percent (10%) of revenue under the VA call center contract described
in Section D., below, so long as the Company is not in default on quarterly
interest and principal payments on the senior notes, and subject to
prepayment obligations to Marbury from VA call center contract revenues
discussed in Section D below. Senior and junior notes will accelerate and
become due upon any change in control of Condor or the sale of substantially
all of Condor's assets following the contemplated restructuring, or upon the
exercise of any

foreclosure remedies by one or more of the Banks due to an event of default
under the senior notes.

      3.  Upon the restructuring, the Company's capital structure will look
like the following (subject to rounding errors):

</TABLE>

      4.  It may be possible that the earn-out creditors other than Marbury
will not consent to the above restructuring terms. Condor will endeavor to
reach an agreement of settlement with those creditors that provides for
payments of principal and interest to such creditors as outlined above, or
would not leave the Company with more indebtedness to such creditors at March
31, 2005 beyond what is contemplated by the above, less amortization payments.

D.  EARN-OUT PAYMENTS FOR MARBURY

      In addition to the terms of Note 1 and Note 2, as described above,
Marbury will be entitled to receive ten percent of the revenues generated
from the VA call center contract on a monthly basis commencing April 2001,
with payments due on the 15th of the following month or the first business
day thereafter. All such payments will be applied against interest and
principal first on Note 1, second on Note 2, and third (if any) to repurchase
common stock for the Company held by Marbury at the then fair market price.
Such payments applied to Note 2 and Note 1 held by Marbury shall be deemed
unconditional, and be made notwithstanding any events of default occurring
under the senior secured notes or the junior unsecured notes, or any
termination of your employment with the Company.

E.  REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

      Condor will repurchase and redeem shares of the Company's common stock
held by Marbury at a 20% discount to market, with a value of $12,000 at the
close of trading on April 2, 2001; such repurchase to occur no later than
April 25, 2001.

         If the above agrees with your understanding of our discussions, I
will proceed to seek final Board and Bank approval of these arrangements.
This is not a non-binding letter of intent, and will be subject to
completion, approval, execution and definitive documents based on the above
terms. Please indicate your understanding below.

                                       Sincerely yours,
