Item 9.   Undertakings.
          ------------

          A.  The Company hereby undertakes:

          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include
any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement; provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) above do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.

          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

          B.  The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement

                                       3
<PAGE>

shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          C.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

          Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8
               ----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as special counsel to C-COR.net Corp. (the "Company") in
connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
of 170,114 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.05 per share (the
"Shares"), issuable under the C-COR.net Corp. Stock Option Plan (For Employees
of Worldbridge Broadband Services, Inc.) (the "Plan").

          In rendering our opinion, we have reviewed the Plan and such
certificates, documents, corporate records and other instruments as in our
judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion
expressed below.  In giving this opinion, we are assuming the authenticity of
all instruments presented to us as originals, the conformity with the originals
of all instruments presented to us as copies and the genuineness of all
signatures.

          Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when
issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be legally issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.

          We consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 being filed with respect to the offering of
the Shares.

          This opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated herein.  No
implied opinion may be inferred to extend this opinion beyond the matters
expressly stated herein.  We do not undertake to advise you or anyone else of
any changes in the opinions expressed herein resulting from changes in law,
changes in facts or any other matters that hereafter might occur or be brought
to our attention.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    /s/ Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP

The Board of Directors
C-COR.net Corp.:

                       C-COR.NET CORP. STOCK OPTION PLAN
            (FOR EMPLOYEES OF WORLDBRIDGE BROADBAND SERVICES, INC.)
            -------------------------------------------------------

                                  ARTICLE ONE

                              GENERAL PROVISIONS
                              ------------------


     I.   PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

          The purpose of the Plan is to: (1) provide a mechanism by which the
Corporation can administer the options to acquire Worldbridge common stock that
were granted under the Worldbridge Plan assumed and converted by the Corporation
at the Effective Time into options to acquire Common Stock in connection with
the Merger Agreement; and (2) promote the interests of Worldbridge and the
Corporation by providing eligible persons a proprietary interest in the
Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in the service of Worldbridge.

          Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the attached Appendix.

     II.  STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

          The Plan consists solely of the outstanding options that were granted
under the Worldbridge Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time and assumed
and converted by the Corporation at the Effective Time into options to acquire
Common Stock in connection with the Merger Agreement.

     III. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

          A.  The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all
administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to
the Committee. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as
the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any
time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee
and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee.

          B.  The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority
(subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations
as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make
such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any
outstanding options thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions
of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an
interest in the Plan or any option thereunder.
<PAGE>

    IV.   ELIGIBILITY

          A.   The persons holding options under the Plan are persons who held
outstanding options under the Worldbridge Plan immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger and were:

               (i)   employees of Worldbridge,

               (ii)  non-employee members of the board of directors of
     Worldbridge or the nonemployee members of the board of directors of any
     Parent or Subsidiary of Worldbridge, and

               (iii) consultants and other independent advisors who provided
     services to Worldbridge (or any Parent or Subsidiary of Worldbridge).

          B.   The Board will not grant any options under the Plan after the
Effective Time.

     V.   STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

          A.   The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized
but unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 196,416
shares.

          B.   Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall not
be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the
options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the
options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of
Article Two.

          C.   Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange
of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class
without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments
shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable
under the Plan and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise
price per share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the
dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by
the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.

                                  ARTICLE TWO

                                OPTION PROGRAM
                                --------------


     I.   OPTION TERMS

          Each option is evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved
by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall
                           --------
comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive
Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable
to such options.

          A.   Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
               ------------------------------------

               1.   In connection with the Merger Agreement, all options granted
and outstanding under the Worldbridge Plan immediately prior to the Effective
Time of the Merger were assumed and converted by the Corporation at the
Effective Time into options to acquire Common Stock. Each Worldbridge option was
converted into an option to acquire .219166 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of
Common Stock, rounded to the nearest whole share, except Incentive Stock Options
were rounded down to the nearest whole share.

               2.   Additionally, in connection with the Merger Agreement, the
exercise price per share of each option granted and outstanding under the
Worldbridge Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time was divided by the
Exchange Ratio at the Effective Time.

               3.   The exercise price shall become immediately due upon
exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of
Article Three and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or
check made payable to the Corporation. The exercise price may also be paid as
follows:

                    (i)  in shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period
     necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial
     reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or

                    (ii) through a special sale and remittance procedure
     pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable
     written instructions (A) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to
     effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the
     Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date,
     sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the
     purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and
     employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of
     such exercise and (B) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for
     the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete
     the sale.

          Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized,
payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the
Exercise Date.

                                       3
<PAGE>

          B.   Exercise and Term of Options. Each option shall be exercisable at
               ----------------------------
such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as was
determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing
the option.  However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years
measured from the option grant date under the Worldbridge Plan.

          C.   Effect of Termination of Service.
               --------------------------------

               1.   The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any
options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death:

                    (i)   Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee's
     cessation of Service for any reason other than Disability or death shall
     remain exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall be
     determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents
     evidencing the option, but no such option shall be exercisable after the
     expiration of the option term.

                    (ii)  Should Optionee's Service terminate by reason of
     Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of six (6) months
     following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise
     each outstanding option held by such Optionee. However, should such
     Disability be deemed to constitute Permanent Disability, then the period
     during which each outstanding option held by the Optionee is to remain
     exercisable shall be extended by an additional six (6) months so that the
     exercise period shall be the twelve (12)-month period following the date of
     the Optionee's cessation of Service by reason of such Permanent Disability.

                    (iii) Should the Optionee die while holding one or more
     outstanding options, then the personal representative of the Optionee's
     estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant
     to the Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and
     distribution shall have a period of twelve (12) months following the date
     of the Optionee's death during which to exercise each such option.

                    (iv)  During the applicable post-Service exercise period,
     the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number
     of shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee's
     cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period
     or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall
     terminate and cease to be outstanding for any shares for which the option
     has not been exercised.

                    (v)   In the event of an Involuntary Termination following a
     Corporate Transaction, the provisions of Section III of this Article Two
     shall govern the period for which the outstanding options are to remain
     exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of Service and shall
     supersede any provisions to the contrary in this section.

                                       4
<PAGE>

               2.  The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable
either at the time an option is granted, or at any time while the option remains
outstanding, to extend the period of time for which the option is to remain
exercisable following Optionee's cessation of Service or death from the limited
period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the
Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration
of the option term.


          D.   Stockholder Rights.  The holder of an option shall have no
               ------------------
stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such
person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a
holder of record of the purchased shares.

          E.   Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the
               ----------------------------------
Optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be
assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution following the Optionee's death.

          F.   Withholding.  The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares of
               -----------
Common Stock upon the exercise of any options granted under the Plan shall be
subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income
and employment tax withholding requirements.

     II.  INCENTIVE OPTIONS

          The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive
Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the
provisions of the Plan shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which
are specifically designated as Non-Qualified Options shall not be subject to the
                                                           ---
terms of this Section II.

          A.   Eligibility.  Incentive Options were granted under the
               -----------
Worldbridge Plan only to Worldbridge employees.

          B.   Dollar Limitation.  The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares
               -----------------
of Worldbridge common stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of
grant under the Worldbridge Plan) for which one or more options granted to any
Worldbridge employee under the Worldbridge Plan may for the first time become
exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall not
exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the
Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the
first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options were granted.

     III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION

          A.   In the event of any Corporate Transaction, each outstanding
option shall be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or
(ii) replaced with a comparable

                                       5
<PAGE>

option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation (or
parent thereof) at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for
subsequent payout in accordance with the same schedule applicable to such
option. The determination of option comparability under clause (ii) above shall
be made by the Plan Administrator, and its determination shall be final, binding
and conclusive. However, to the extent the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) does not effect such assumption or replacement, each outstanding option
shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior
to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for
all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option.

          B.   Unless otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator, immediately
following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the
successor corporation (or parent thereof).

          C.   Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate
Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have
been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had
the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of
securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of
such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under
each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such
                         --------
securities shall remain the same.

          D.   The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the
right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change
its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate
or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     IV.  CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS

          The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time
and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the
cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in
substitution therefor new options covering the same or different number of
shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

                                 MISCELLANEOUS
                                 -------------

     I.   FINANCING

          The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee to pay the option
exercise price under the Plan by delivering a promissory note payable in one or
more installments. The terms of any such promissory note (including the interest
rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator
in its sole discretion. Promissory notes may be authorized with or without
security or collateral. In all events, the maximum credit available to the
Optionee may not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price
payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of such shares) plus (ii)
any Federal, state and local income and employment tax liability incurred by the
Optionee in connection with the option exercise.

     II.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

          A.   The Worldbridge Plan was adopted by the Worldbridge board of
directors on August 26, 1998, approved by the Worldbridge stockholders and
became effective on September 13, 1998, and was assumed by the Corporation at
