ITEM 9.       UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
               made, a post-effective amendment to the 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, excluding information contained in periodic
                    reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
                    Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
                    Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
                    reference in the Registration Statement;

               (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.

          (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)  Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
          liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
          Registrant'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 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 Registrant pursuant to the provisions of
          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and Article
          FIFTEENTH of Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, or otherwise,
          Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
          Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
          expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
          the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
          (other than the payment by Registrant of the expenses incurred or paid
          by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant 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, Registrant 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
          such issue.

<PAGE>   3

Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion and on
behalf of the Company:

          (ii) To select the Bellcore Employees who are to receive Awards under

concerning the type of Award, number of shares, vesting requirements and other
features and conditions of Awards. There shall be no requirement that an Award
to any Participant be equal to or consistent with Awards to any other
Participant, even if similarly situated. No member of the Committee shall be
liable for any action or determination in respect thereto, if made in good
faith. In exercising its authority, the Committee shall have the broadest
possible discretion and the Committee's determinations under the Plan made in
good faith, including factual determinations, shall be binding and conclusive on
Participants and other persons claiming entitlements under the Plan. In no event
shall a Committee determination with respect to a particular Participant or
provision of the Plan be binding with respect to any other Participant (even if
similarly situated) nor with respect to any future determinations regarding the
same or other provisions of the Plan.

4.   SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.

     Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued
shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
reserved for award under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 shares. The limitation of
this Section 4 shall be subject 



                                       3
<PAGE>   4
to adjustment pursuant to Section 7. If Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan
are forfeited for any reason, then such shares shall again become available for
Awards under the Plan.

5.   ELIGIBILITY.

     Only Bellcore Employees selected by the Committee shall be eligible to
participate in the Plan and to receive Awards hereunder.

6.   AWARDS.

     (a) Form of Awards. Awards under the Plan may be granted in the form of
Restricted Shares, Nonrestricted Shares or in any combination of both.

     (b) Date of Grant. The date on which the Committee approves the grant of an
Award shall be considered the date on which such Award is granted. The Committee
shall cause the Participant to be notified of the grant of the Award.

     (c) Stock Restriction Agreement. An Award of Restricted Shares shall be
evidenced by a written Stock Restriction Agreement between the Participant and
SAIC in such form as the Committee shall from time to time determine. No Award
of Restricted Shares or purported Award of Restricted Shares shall be a valid
Award unless previously granted by the Committee and evidenced in writing by
such a Stock Restriction Agreement. If a Stock Restriction Agreement is not
executed by the Participant and returned to SAIC within the time prescribed in
the Stock Restriction Agreement, the Award of Restricted Shares evidenced
thereby will be forfeited. Appropriate officers of SAIC are hereby authorized to
execute and deliver Stock Restriction Agreements in the name of SAIC, as
directed from time to time by the Committee.

     (d) Vesting and Forfeiture Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Shares
shall become vested, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the
conditions specified in the Stock Restriction Agreement which may include
performance conditions. A Stock Restriction Agreement may provide for
accelerated vesting or forfeiture of vested shares in the event of the
Participant's death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may
determine, at the time of making an Award or thereafter, that such Award shall
become fully vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs. The Committee
may determine, at the time of making an Award or thereafter, (i) that such Award
shall become fully vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs and (ii)
that payments made pursuant to any Award shall be subject to limitations
designed to avoid the payments being nondeductible by the Company for federal
income tax purposes as "excess parachute payments" under Section 280G of the
Code.

7.   CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS.

     The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Plan shall
be appropriately adjusted, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, for
any increase 



                                       4
<PAGE>   5
or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock which SAIC has issued
resulting from any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or any
other change, or any exchange for other securities or any reclassification,
reorganization, redesignation, recapitalization or otherwise. Except as provided
in this Section 7, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by
SAIC of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class,
any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of
any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of
stock of any class.

8.   NO EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION.

     A Participant's employment with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary is not
for any specified term and may be terminated by such Participant or by the
Company, Parent or Subsidiary at any time, for any reason, with or without
cause. Nothing in this Plan or in any Stock Restriction Agreement pursuant to
this Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ
of, or affiliation with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary regarding future
positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or
condition of employment or affiliation.

9.   GOVERNMENT AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

     SAIC shall not be required to issue any shares under an Award unless and
until SAIC has fully complied with any then applicable requirements by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory agencies having
jurisdiction and of any exchanges upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

10.  WITHHOLDING TAXES.

     To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law,
a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the
satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with
the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Stock under the
Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

11.  ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF AWARDS.

     Except as provided in this Section 11 or the Stock Restriction Agreement,
an Award granted under the Plan shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached,
garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor's process,
whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. This Section 11 shall
not preclude a transfer of Awards by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.

12.  TERM OF THE PLAN.

     (a) Effectiveness. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on
September 15, 1997 and shall remain in effect until it is terminated under
Section 12(b).

<PAGE>   6
     (b) Amendment or Termination. The Board may, at any time and for any
reason, amend or terminate the Plan, with or without prior notice to
Participants. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of
SAIC's stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations
or rules. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the termination
thereof. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect
any Award previously granted under the Plan.

     The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Delaware (except Delaware's choice-of-law provisions).

14.  ADOPTION AND EXECUTION.

Gentlemen:

     I am the Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Science Applications

in connection with the Prospectus of the Company covering the offer and sale of
up to 2,000,000 shares (the "Company Shares") of its Class A Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), by the Company to its
employees under the Bell Communications Research, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan
(hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The Company Shares are being offered
pursuant to a prospectus which constitutes a part of the Registration Statement
on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on November 14, 1997 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

     I am generally familiar with the affairs of the Company. In addition, I
have examined and am familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to my satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as currently in
effect, (iii) resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors and the Operating
Committee thereof relating to the filing of the Registration Statement and the
issuance of the Company Shares thereunder, (iv) the Plan and (v) such other
documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions
set forth below. In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies, and the

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

     1. The Company Shares that are being issued pursuant to the Plan have been
duly authorized for issuance.

     2. When certificates for the Company Shares to be issued pursuant to the
Plan have been duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms of the

I come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7
