                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     Science Applications International Corporation (the "Company") provides
diversified professional and technical services ("Technical Services") and
designs, develops and manufactures high-technology products ("Products"). The
Company's Technical Services and Products have been primarily sold to
departments and agencies of the U.S. Government, including the Department of
Defense ("DOD"), Department of Energy ("DOE"), Department of Transportation,
Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA"), Environmental Protection Agency and
National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA"). Revenues generated from
the sale of Technical Services and Products to the U.S. Government as a prime
contractor or subcontractor accounted for approximately 66%, 79% and 83% of
revenues in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The balance of the
Company's revenues were attributable to the sales of Technical Services and
Products to foreign, state and local governments, commercial customers and
others. On November 14, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition (the
"Bellcore Acquisition") of all of the outstanding common stock of Bell
Communications Research, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Bellcore"), from the
Regional Bell Operating Companies (the "RBOCs"). Upon completion of the Bellcore
Acquisition, Bellcore became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAIC. Bellcore is a
global provider of software, engineering and consulting services, advanced
research and development, technical training and other services to the
telecommunications industry. With the completion of the Bellcore Acquisition,
the Company's revenues attributable to the sales of Technical Services and
Products to commercial customers are expected to increase substantially as a
percentage of revenues.
 
     The percentage of revenues attributable to Technical Services has increased
since fiscal year 1996 while Products revenues have correspondingly decreased.
Technical Services revenues and Products revenues were 98% and 2% of total
revenues, respectively, for fiscal year 1998; 94% and 6% of total revenues,
respectively, for fiscal year 1997; and 94% and 6% of total revenues,
respectively, for fiscal year 1996. In 1998, the Company sold a business unit
which manufactured data display devices and "ruggedized" personal computers and
which accounted for 49% of the Products revenue in 1997. The Company provides
Technical Services primarily in the areas of "National Security," "Health,"
"Environment," "Energy," "Telecommunications," "Commercial Information
Technology" and "Other Technical Services," the last of which includes the
Company's transportation and space business areas. The percentage of Technical
Services revenues attributable to National Security-related work has gradually
declined to 37% of total revenues for fiscal year 1998. For fiscal year 1998,
the Health, Environment, Energy, Telecommunications, Commercial Information
Technology and Other Technical Services business areas accounted for 12%, 9%,
4%, 8%, 14% and 14%, respectively, of total revenues. For certain financial
information regarding the Company's Technical Services and Products segments,
see Note C of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company set
forth on page F-13 of this Form 10-K.
 
     In October 1997, the Company's ownership of the common stock of Network
Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NSI"), was reduced from 100% to
approximately 76% as a result of NSI's initial public offering. Such ownership
interest represents approximately 97% of the combined voting power of the
outstanding common stock of NSI. NSI provides Internet domain name registration
services and Intranet consulting and network design and implementation services.
 
     The Company has a 60% interest in a joint venture, Informatica, Negocio y
Tecnologia, S.A. ("INTESA"), which was formed with Venezuela's national oil
company, Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. INTESA provides information technology
services in Latin America.
 
     The Company was originally incorporated as a California corporation in 1969
and was re-incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1984. The principal office
and corporate headquarters of the Company are located in San Diego, California
at 10260 Campus Point Drive, San Diego, California 92121 and its telephone
number is (619) 546-6000. All references to the Company include, unless the
context indicates otherwise, the Company and its predecessor and subsidiary
corporations.

       community.
 
                                   RESOURCES
 
     The Technical Services and Products provided by the Company utilize a wide
variety of resources. The Company anticipates the continued availability of the
resources required for the Technical Services and Products provided to
customers. A substantial portion of the computers and other equipment, materials
and subcontracted work required by the Company could be procured from alternate
supply sources. However, with respect to certain products and programs, the
Company depends on a particular source or vendor. While a temporary or permanent
disruption in the supply of these materials or services could cause
inconvenience or delay or impact the profitability of the affected programs or
products, the Company believes it would not materially affect the profitability
or operations of the Company as a whole.
 
     The availability of skilled employees who have the necessary education
and/or experience in specialized scientific and technological disciplines
remains critical to the future growth and profitability of the Company. Because
of the Company's growth and the competitive business environment, it has become
more difficult to meet all of the Company's needs for such employees in a timely
manner. However, to date, such difficulties have not had a significant impact on
the Company. The Company intends to continue to devote significant
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   7
 
resources to recruit and retain qualified employees. Further, as an inducement,
the Company maintains a variety of benefit programs for its employees, including
retirement and bonus plans, group life, health, accident and disability
insurance and offers its employees the opportunity to participate in the
Company's employee ownership program. See "Business -- Employees And
Consultants" and "Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters -- The Limited Market."
 
                                   MARKETING
 
     The Company's marketing activities are primarily conducted by its own
professional staff of engineers, scientists, analysts and other personnel. The
Company's marketing approach for its Technical Services begins with the
development of information concerning the requirements of the U.S. Government
and other potential customers for the types of Technical Services provided by
the Company. Such information is gathered in the course of contract performance
and from formal briefings, participation in professional organizations and
published literature. This information is then evaluated and exchanged among
marketing groups within the Company (organized along functional, geographic and
other lines) in order to devise and implement, subject to management review and
approval, the best means of taking advantage of available business
opportunities, including the preparation of proposals responsive to the stated
and perceived needs of customers.
 
     The Company's Products are marketed primarily through the Company's own
sales force, which is augmented by independent sales representatives.
 
                                  COMPETITION
 
     The businesses in which the Company is engaged are highly competitive. The
Company has a large number of competitors, some of which have been established
longer and have substantially greater financial resources and larger technical
staffs than the Company. Some of the other competitors, although smaller in
size, are more highly specialized. In addition, the U.S. Government's own
in-house capabilities and federal non-profit contract research centers are also
competitors of the Company because they perform certain types of services which
might otherwise be performed by the Company.
 
     The primary competitive factors in the business areas in which the Company
is engaged are technical, management and marketing competence and price. The
Company's continued success is dependent upon its ability to hire and retain
highly qualified scientists, engineers, technicians, management and professional
personnel who will provide superior service and performance on a cost-effective
basis.
 
                             SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
 
     During the fiscal years ended January 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
approximately 66%, 80% and 83%, respectively, of the Company's contract revenues
from the Technical Services segment and approximately 53%, 61% and 80%,
respectively, of the Company's contract revenues from the Products segment, were
attributable to prime contracts with the U.S. Government or to subcontracts with
other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. Government.
 
     In fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, the U.S. Army accounted for
approximately 11%, 16% and 22%, respectively, of consolidated revenues, the U.S.
Navy accounted for approximately 8%, 10% and 9%, respectively, of consolidated
revenues and the DOE accounted for approximately 5%, 7% and 10%, respectively,
of consolidated revenues.
 
     During fiscal year 1996, approximately 10% of the Company's consolidated
revenues were derived from one U.S. Government contract to automate the
information systems for the DOD's medical treatment facilities worldwide. This
contract was substantially completed in 1997. No other single contract in the
Technical Services segment accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues in
fiscal year 1996 and no single contract in the Technical Services segment
accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues in fiscal years 1998 or 1997.
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   8
 
     No single customer or contract in the Products segment accounted for 10% or
more of consolidated revenues in fiscal years 1998, 1997 or 1996.
 
                              GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
 
     Many of the U.S. Government programs in which the Company participates as a
contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years; however, such programs
are normally funded on an annual basis. All U.S. Government contracts and
subcontracts may be modified, curtailed or terminated at the convenience of the
government if program requirements or budgetary constraints change. In the event
that a contract is terminated for convenience, the Company generally would be
reimbursed for its allowable costs through the date of termination and would be
paid a proportionate amount of the stipulated profit or fee attributable to the
work actually performed.
 
     Modification, termination or curtailment of major programs or contracts of
the Company could have a material adverse effect on the results of the Company's
operations. Although such contract and program terminations have not had a
material adverse effect on the Company in the past, no assurance can be given
that curtailments or terminations of U.S. Government programs or contracts will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.
 
     The Company's business with the U.S. Government and other customers is
generally performed under cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, fixed-price
level-of-effort or firm fixed-price contracts. Under cost-reimbursement
contracts, the customers reimburse the Company for its direct costs and
allocable indirect costs, plus a fixed fee or incentive fee. Under
time-and-materials contracts, the Company is paid for labor hours at negotiated,
fixed hourly rates and reimbursed for other allowable direct costs at actual
costs plus allocable indirect costs. Under fixed-price level-of-effort
contracts, the customer pays the Company for the actual labor hours provided to
the customer at negotiated hourly rates. Under firm fixed-price contracts, the
Company is required to provide stipulated products or services for a fixed
price. Because the Company assumes the risk of performing a firm fixed-price
contract at the stipulated price, the failure to accurately estimate ultimate
costs or to control costs during performance of the work could result, and in
some instances has resulted, in reduced profits or losses for particular firm
fixed-price contracts.
 
     During the fiscal years ended January 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
approximately 50%, 57% and 57%, respectively, of the Technical Services revenues
were derived from cost-reimbursement type contracts and approximately 32%, 20%
and 16%, respectively, of the Technical Services revenues were from firm
fixed-price type contracts, with the balance from time-and-materials and
fixed-price level-of-effort type contracts. In contrast, the majority of the
Products revenues in these three years were derived from firm fixed-price type
contracts.
 
     Any costs incurred by the Company prior to the execution of a contract or
contract amendment are incurred at the Company's risk, and it is possible that
such costs will not be reimbursed by the customer. Unbilled receivables in this
category which were included in the Technical Services revenues and Product
revenues, exclusive of related fees, at January 31, 1998 were $14,583,000 and
$664,000, respectively. The Company expects to recover substantially all such
costs; however, no assurance can be given that the contracts or contract
amendments will be received or that the related costs will be recovered.
 
     Contract costs for services or products supplied to the U.S. Government,
including allocated indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustments by
negotiations between the Company and U.S. Government representatives.
Substantially all of the Company's indirect contract costs have been agreed upon
through the fiscal year ended January 31, 1997. Contract revenues for subsequent
years have been recorded in amounts which are expected to be realized upon final
settlement. However, no assurance can be given that audits and adjustments for
subsequent years will not result in decreased revenues or profits for those
years.

                      PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
 
     Bellcore's patent portfolio consists of more than 680 U.S. and foreign
patents. More than 200 of these patents have been licensed to organizations
worldwide. Bellcore has been granted patents across a wide range of disciplines,
including telecommunications transmission, services and operations, optical
networking, switching, wireless communications, protocols, architecture and
coding. Bellcore also actively pursues additional opportunities to license its
technologies to third parties and evaluates potential spin-offs of technologies
that it has developed.
 
     Other than the business and operations of Bellcore, the nature of the
Technical Services and Products provided by the Company is such that the Company
does not presently consider its competitive position to be dependent upon patent
protection. The Company claims a proprietary interest in certain of its
products, software programs, methodology and know-how. Such proprietary
information is protected by copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, contracts and
other means.
 
     The U.S. Government has certain rights to data, computer codes and related
material developed by the Company under U.S. Government-funded contracts and
subcontracts. Generally, the U.S. Government may disclose such information to
third parties, including, in some instances, competitors. In the case of
subcontracts, the prime contractor may also have certain rights to the programs
and products developed by the Company under the subcontract.
 
                                    BACKLOG
 
     Backlog includes only the funded dollar amount of contracts in process and
does not include the dollar amount of projects for which the Company has been
given permission by the customer (i) to begin work but for which a formal
contract has not yet been entered into or (ii) to extend work under an existing
contract prior to the formal amendment or modification of the existing contract.
In these cases, either contract negotiations have not been completed or a
contract or contract amendment has not been executed. When a contract or
contract amendment is executed, the backlog will be increased by the difference
between the dollar value of the contract or contract amendment and the revenue
recognized to date.
 
     The backlog for the Technical Services segment at January 31, 1998 and 1997
amounted to approximately $2,520,000,000 and $1,112,000,000, respectively, and
the backlog for the Products segment at those dates amounted to approximately
$43,000,000 and $82,000,000, respectively. The Company expects that a
substantial portion of its backlog at January 31, 1998 will be recognized as
revenues prior to January 31, 1999. Some contracts associated with the backlog
are incrementally funded and may continue for more than one year.
 
                           EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
 
     As of January 31, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries employed
approximately 30,300 persons. The Company also utilizes the services of
consultants to provide specialized technical and other services on specific
projects.
 
     The highly technical and complex services and products provided by the
Company are dependent upon the availability of professional, administrative and
technical personnel having high levels of training and skills. Because of the
Company's growth and competitive business environment, it has become more
difficult to meet all of the Company's needs for such employees in a timely
manner. However, to date, such difficulties have not had a significant impact on
the Company. The Company intends to continue to devote significant resources to
recruit and retain qualified employees. Management believes the Company's
orientation towards employee ownership is a major factor in the Company's
ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
 
     None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union. To date,
no strikes or work stoppages have been experienced and the Company considers its
relations with its employees to be good.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     The following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the
Company and its business because such factors currently have a significant
impact or may have a significant impact on the Company's business, operating
results or financial condition. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the following
risk factors set forth below.
 
CONCENTRATION OF REVENUE
 
     Revenues generated from the sale of the Company's Technical Services and
Products to the U.S. Government as a prime contractor or subcontractor accounted
for 66%, 79% and 83% of revenues in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. U.S. Government spending has declined in recent years, and the
current Congress and presidential administration have indicated that they intend
to further reduce U.S. Government spending. In addition, revenues from the U.S.
Government continues to shift toward lower cost service type contracts. The loss
of a substantial amount of government business could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In
addition, Bellcore has historically derived substantially all of its revenues
from the RBOCs. Although the Company has made progress in its efforts to
diversify its business, it remains heavily dependent upon business with the U.S.
Government and with the RBOCs, and there can be no assurances that the Company
will be successful in expanding its customer base or that any new customers will
place orders for the Company's Technical Services or Products in amounts
comparable to those of the U.S. Government or the RBOCs. See "Business -- The
Company" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."
 
POTENTIAL IMPACT OF ACQUISITION OF BELLCORE
 
     On November 14, 1997, pursuant to a definitive agreement, the Company
completed its acquisition of Bellcore, a global provider of software,
engineering and consulting services, advanced research and development,
technical training and other services to the telecommunications industry. As of
January 31, 1998, Bellcore had approximately 5,400 employees and annual revenues
of approximately $1 billion. The acquisition resulted in a substantial growth in
both the employee base and commercial revenues of the Company. The Company
financed a portion of the purchase price of Bellcore with debt financing. Such
growth and additional debt may place a significant strain on the Company's
management, operational and financial resources. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to effectively manage the expansion of its operations
or that the Company's systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to
support the integration of the acquired business. Any inability to effectively
integrate the acquired business or manage the growth could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
 
DEPENDENCE ON ACQUISITIONS FOR GROWTH
 
     A significant portion of the growth in the Company's revenues in recent
years has been achieved through acquisitions of businesses that complement the
Company's Technical Services and Products. Although the Company intends to make
additional acquisitions in the future, the number and size of the acquisitions
that the Company can complete may be limited due to the Company's acquisition of
Bellcore. In addition, while the Company has been successful in identifying and
consummating acquisitions in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be
able to continue to make such acquisitions in the future at prices that it
considers reasonable or, if the acquisitions are consummated, that the Company
will be able to integrate the acquired businesses without adversely affecting
the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
 
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
 
     The Company has commenced, and in some cases finalized, the evaluation of
computer systems to ensure its operations will not be adversely impacted by Year
2000 software problems. The evaluation determined that certain portions of the
Company's software and systems require modification or replacement. If the
necessary modifications to existing software and conversions to new software are
not made, or are not completed timely,
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its
ability to conduct business. In addition, the Company has initiated
communications with its critical service providers, suppliers and vendors to
determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those third parties'
failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. There can be no assurance that
such failure would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its
ability to conduct business. Furthermore, the Company has implemented an
on-going program to assess its exposure with respect to its products and
services. To date, no matters have come to the attention of the Company's
management that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its
ability to conduct business; however, there can be no assurance that the Company
will not be subject to material liability claims in the future.
 
     The Company's assessment of the Year 2000 issue, including the costs of the
project and the timing of completion are based on management's best estimates
and input from third party customers, service providers, suppliers and vendors.
These estimates were derived using numerous assumptions about future events,
including the continued availability of certain resources, third party
modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no assurance that
these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
 
ABSENCE OF A PUBLIC MARKET
 
     There is no public market for the Class A Common Stock. The Limited Market
permits existing stockholders to offer for sale shares of Class A Common Stock
any Trade Date (as such terms are defined on page 15). Generally, there are four
Trade Dates each year. The Company and the trustees and agents of the Company's
and certain of its subsidiaries' employee benefit plans are currently
authorized, but not obligated, to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock in the
Limited Market on any Trade Date, but only if and to the extent that they, in
their discretion, determine to make such purchases. To the extent that purchases
by such trustees, agents or the Company are not sufficient, the ability of
stockholders to resell their shares in the Limited Market will likely be
adversely affected. In each trade occurring during the last two fiscal years,
all shares of Class A Common Stock offered for sale in the Limited Market were
matched with buy orders and sold in the Limited Market. No assurance, however,
can be given that a stockholder desiring to sell all or a portion of his or her
shares of Class A Common Stock in any future trade will be able to do so. See
"Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters -- The
Limited Market."
 
CLASS A COMMON STOCK PRICE DETERMINED BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
     The offering price and the price at which the Class A Common Stock trades
in the Limited Market are not, and subsequent prices will not be, determined by
the operation of a market of bargaining buyers and sellers. Instead, the price
is a value established by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Formula and
valuation process described on pages 16, 17 and 18 which the Board of Directors
believes represents a fair market value. The Board of Directors generally has
broad discretion to modify the Formula. The Formula was last modified in April
1998. The Formula does not specifically include variables reflecting all
relevant financial and valuation criteria. The mechanical application of the
Formula, assuming a constant Market Factor, tends to smooth the impact on the
stock price of quarterly fluctuations in the Company's operating results because
the Formula takes into account the net income of the Company for the four
preceding quarters. See "Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters -- Price Range of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock."
 
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
     The Formula Price of the Class A Common Stock could be subject to greater
fluctuations in the future than it has experienced in the past. The increased
volatility is expected to result from a number of factors, including (i) plans
to continue to increase the proportion of the Company's business involving
private sector customers, international customers and information technology and
the greater stock price volatility associated
                                       10
<PAGE>   12
 
with companies in such business areas, (ii) the financial leverage impact of
current and any future debt levels of the Company as debt financing is used to
finance acquisitions and for other purposes, (iii) the impact of other equity
transactions that the Company may pursue, including public offerings of
securities of the Company's subsidiaries or affiliates, and (iv) the volatility
of the stock price of the Class A Common Stock of NSI, a publicly-traded
security of a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, and its impact on the
Formula Price. As of March 13, 1998, the Company owned 100% of the outstanding
Class B Common Stock of NSI, representing approximately 76% of the combined
outstanding common stock of NSI. The NSI Class B Common Stock is convertible
into NSI Class A Common Stock, subject to certain limitations.
 
NO ASSURANCES REGARDING FUTURE RETURNS
 
     There can be no assurance that the Class A Common Stock will in the future
provide returns comparable to historical returns or that the Formula Price will
not decline. See "Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters -- Price Range of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock."
 
COMPETITION
 
     The businesses in which the Company is engaged are highly competitive. The
Company's competitors include larger organizations with substantially greater
financial resources and larger technical staffs, smaller, more highly
specialized entities, the U.S. Government's own in-house capabilities and
federal non-profit contract research centers. The Company's continued success is
dependent upon its ability to provide superior service and performance on a
cost-effective basis. See "Business -- Competition."
 
EARLY TERMINATION OF GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
 
     Many of the U.S. Government programs in which the Company participates as a
contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years; however, such programs
are normally funded on an annual basis. All U.S. Government contracts and
subcontracts may be modified, curtailed or terminated at the convenience of the
government. Modification, termination or curtailment of major programs or
contracts of the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations and financial condition. Although such contract and
program modifications, terminations or curtailments have not had a material
adverse effect on the Company in the past, no assurance can be given that they
will not have such an effect in the future.
 
POTENTIAL GOVERNMENT INQUIRIES AND INVESTIGATIONS
 
     The Company is from time to time subject to certain U.S. Government
inquiries and investigations of its business practices. No assurance can be
given that any such inquiry or investigation would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
 
CONTRACT REVENUES SUBJECT TO AUDITS BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
 
     Contract costs for services or products supplied to the U.S. Government,
including allocated indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustments by
negotiations between the Company and U.S. Government representatives.
Substantially all of the Company's indirect contract costs have been agreed upon
through the fiscal year ended January 31, 1997. Contract revenues for subsequent
years have been recorded in amounts which are expected to be realized upon final
settlement. However, no assurance can be given that audits and adjustments for
subsequent years will not result in decreased revenues or profits for those
years.
 
FIXED PRICE CONTRACT EXPOSURE
 
     During the fiscal years ended January 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, 32%, 20% and
16%, respectively, of Technical Services revenues were from firm fixed-price
type contracts, while the majority of Products revenues in these three years
were derived from such contracts. Because the Company assumes the risk of
performing a firm fixed-price contract at the stipulated price, the failure to
accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during performance of the
work could result, and in some instances has resulted, in reduced profits or
losses for particular firm fixed-price contracts.
                                       11
<PAGE>   13
 
AT RISK CONTRACT COSTS
 
     Any costs incurred by the Company prior to the execution of a contract or
contract amendment are incurred at the Company's risk, and it is possible that
such costs will not be reimbursed by the customer. Unbilled receivables in this
category which were included in Technical Services revenues and Products
revenues, exclusive of related fees, at January 31, 1998 were $14,583,000 and
$664,000, respectively. The Company expects to recover substantially all such
costs; however, no assurance can be given that the contracts or contract
amendments will be received or that the related costs will be recovered.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL SALES AND CURRENCY EXCHANGES
 
     The Company conducts a portion of its business outside of the U.S. in
transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is
exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates which could result in losses and, in
turn, could adversely impact the Company's results of operations. Under the
Company's current foreign currency management policy, the Company may use
forward foreign currency exchange rate contracts to hedge against movements in
exchange rates for contracts executed in foreign currencies. However, the
Company generally does not hedge its exchange rate risks for its foreign
subsidiaries, which generally conduct business in currencies other than the U.S.
Dollar. Significant fluctuations in exchange rates in such countries could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. This risk may
be significant for entities such as INTESA that operate in highly inflationary
economies. To date, losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations have not
had a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations; however,
there can be no assurance that the Company's future results of operations will
not be materially impacted by exchange rate fluctuations.
 
NO CASH DIVIDENDS
 
     The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital
stock and no cash dividends on the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock
are contemplated in the foreseeable future. The Company's present intention is
to retain any future earnings for use in its business.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON CLASS A COMMON STOCK
 
     Certain of the shares of Class A Common Stock presently outstanding are,
and all shares of Class A Common Stock offered by the Company will be, subject
to certain restrictions (including a right of first refusal and a right of
repurchase upon termination of employment or affiliation (except that qualified
retiring employees may elect to have the Company defer its repurchase rights for
five years) and other restrictions on their transferability) set forth in the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation.
 
DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The Company's success will depend upon the continued contributions of its
founder, J.R. Beyster, its officers and key personnel, the loss of which could
materially adversely affect the Company's operations. The Company has not
generally entered into long-term employment contracts with its officers and key
employees. In addition, the Company does not maintain "key man" life insurance
for its officers or key employees.
 
ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF SKILLED EMPLOYEES
 
     The highly technical and complex services and products provided by the
Company are dependent upon the availability of professional, administrative and
technical personnel having high levels of training and skills. Because of the
Company's growth and competitive business environment, it has become more
difficult to meet all of the Company's needs for such employees in a timely
manner. Competition for such personnel is intense and competitors often employ
aggressive tactics to recruit key employees. The Company intends to continue to
devote significant resources to recruit and retain qualified employees; however,
no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to attract and retain
such employees on acceptable terms. Any failure to do so could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operations.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   14
 
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS
 
     Consistent with and in furtherance of the Company's employee ownership
philosophy, certain provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent attempts to acquire control of the
Company that are not approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The
provisions may, individually or collectively, have the effect of discouraging
takeover attempts that some stockholders might deem to be in their best
interests, including tender offers in which stockholders might receive a premium
for their shares over the Formula Price, as well as making it more difficult for
individual stockholders or a group of stockholders to elect directors.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
     As of March 31, 1998, the Company conducted its operations in more than 370
offices and manufacturing and laboratory facilities located in 41 states, the
District of Columbia and various foreign countries and occupied a total of
approximately 7,900,000 square feet of space. The Company has principal
locations in the San Diego, California, the Washington, D.C. and Piscataway, New
Jersey metropolitan areas and occupies over 1,000,000 square feet of space in
each of these locations.
 
     The Company owns and occupies seven buildings totaling approximately
677,000 square feet of space situated on 22.2 acres of land owned by the Company
in the Golden Triangle area of San Diego, California.
 
     At the principal location of the Company in McLean, Virginia, the Company
owns and occupies a 287,000 square foot building located on 10 acres of land and
leases two buildings containing a total of approximately 425,000 square feet of
space. The Company has certain rights to purchase these leased buildings. The
Company has also executed a lease to occupy an additional 195,000 square foot
building in McLean, Virginia, upon completion of this building scheduled for
December 1999. In addition, the Company owns and occupies a 62,000 square foot
building on 2.6 acres of land in Reston, Virginia.
 
     In the Chester, Piscataway and Red Bank, New Jersey areas, the Company owns
and occupies 13 buildings totaling approximately 725,000 square feet of space
situated on 206 acres of land. The Company also owns an additional 26 acres of
vacant land in Piscataway, New Jersey.
 
     The Company also owns and occupies (a) a 62,500 square foot building on
approximately 13 acres of land in Virginia Beach, Virginia, (b) an 83,000 square
foot building on approximately 8.4 acres of land in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, (c)
two buildings totaling 79,400 square feet on 4.5 acres in Dayton, Ohio, (d) a
100,000 square foot building on 18 acres in Huntsville, Alabama, (e) a 95,500
square foot building on approximately 7.3 acres of land in Columbia, Maryland
and (f) a 23,700 square foot building on approximately 3.1 acres of leased land
in Richland, Washington. The Company also leases a 30,000 square foot office
building in Orlando, Florida and has an option to purchase this building. In
addition, the Company leases a 380,000 square foot building in Lisle, Illinois.
 
     The nature of the Company's business is such that there is no practicable
way to relate occupied space to industry segments. The Company considers its
facilities suitable and adequate for its present needs. See Note M of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company on page F-25 of this Form 10-K
for information regarding commitments under leases.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits
arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in the opinion of
the Company's management, will have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its
ability to conduct business.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     Not applicable.

                                    PART II
 
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
 
                               THE LIMITED MARKET
 
     Since its inception, the Company has followed a policy of remaining
essentially employee owned. As a result, there has never been a general public
market for any of the Company's securities. In order to provide liquidity for
its stockholders, however, the Company has maintained a limited secondary market
(the "Limited Market") through its wholly-owned, broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull,
Inc., which was organized in 1973 for the purpose of maintaining the Limited
Market.
 
     The Limited Market permits existing stockholders to offer for sale shares
of Class A Common Stock on predetermined days (each a "Trade Date"). Generally,
there are four Trade Dates each year which typically occur approximately two
weeks after Board of Directors' meetings which are currently scheduled for
January, April, July and October. All shares of Class B Common Stock to be sold
in the Limited Market must first be converted into five times as many shares of
Class A Common Stock. All sales are made at the prevailing price of the Class A
Common Stock determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to the valuation
process described below. Employees, consultants and directors of the Company who
have been approved by the Board of Directors or the Operating Committee of the
Board of Directors may subscribe to purchase up to a specified number of shares
of Class A Common Stock. In addition, the trustees or agents of the Company's
Employee Stock Retirement Plan ("ESRP"), Cash or Deferred Arrangement ("CODA"),
1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (if
such plan is approved at the Company's 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders),
Stock Compensation Plan, Management Stock Compensation Plan, Key Executive Stock
Deferral Plan, the Bell Communications Research Savings and Security Plan and
the Bell Communications Research Savings Plan for Salaried Employees
(collectively, the "Bellcore Savings Plans") and the TransCore Retirement
Savings Plan of Syntonic Technology, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company doing business as TransCore ("TransCore Savings Plan"), (collectively,
the "Benefit Plans") may also purchase shares of Class A Common Stock for their
respective trusts in the Limited Market. All sellers in the Limited Market
(other than the Company, ESRP, CODA, the Bellcore Savings Plans and the
TransCore Savings Plan) pay Bull, Inc. a commission equal to two percent of the
proceeds from such sales. No commission is paid by purchasers in the Limited
Market.
 
     In the event that the aggregate number of shares offered for sale in the
Limited Market on any Trade Date is greater than the aggregate number of shares
sought to be purchased by authorized buyers and the Company, offers by
stockholders to sell 500 or less shares of Class A Common Stock (or up to the
first 500
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   17
 
shares if more than 500 shares of Class A Common Stock are offered by any such
stockholder) will be accepted first. Offers to sell shares in excess of 500
shares of Class A Common Stock will be accepted on a pro-rata basis determined
by dividing the total number of shares remaining under purchase orders by the
total number of shares remaining under sell orders. If, however, there are
insufficient purchase orders to support the primary allocation of 500 shares of
Class A Common Stock for each proposed seller, then the purchase orders will be
allocated equally among all of the proposed sellers up to the total number of
shares offered for sale.
 
     The Company is currently authorized, but not obligated, to purchase up to
1,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the Limited Market on any Trade
Date, but only if and to the extent that the number of shares offered for sale
by stockholders exceeds the number of shares sought to be purchased by
authorized buyers, and the Company, in its discretion, determines to make such
purchases. In fiscal years 1998 and 1997, the Company purchased 223,849 shares
and 117,163 shares, respectively, in the Limited Market. The Company's purchases
in fiscal years 1998 and 1997 accounted for 9.7% and 6.6%, respectively, of the
total shares purchased by all buyers in the Limited Market during such years.
 
     During the 1998 and 1997 fiscal years, the trustees of the Company's CODA,
1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Bellcore Savings Plans and the TransCore
Savings Plan purchased an aggregate of 1,496,518 shares and 1,148,829,
respectively, in the Limited Market. These purchases accounted for approximately
59.0% and 60.9% of the total shares purchased by all buyers in the Limited
Market during fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively. Such purchases may
change in the future, depending on the levels of participation in and
contributions to such plans and the extent to which such contributions are
invested in Class A Common Stock. To the extent that purchases by the trustees
of the Benefit Plans decrease and purchases by the Company do not increase, the
ability of stockholders to resell their shares in the Limited Market will likely
be adversely affected. Although all shares of Class A Common Stock offered for
sale were sold in the Limited Market on each Trade Date occurring during the
last two fiscal years, no assurance can be given that a stockholder desiring to
sell all or a portion of his or her shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock
in any trade will be able to do so.
 
     To the extent that the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by
authorized buyers exceeds the aggregate number of shares offered for sale by
stockholders, the Company may, but is not obligated to, sell authorized but
unissued shares of Class A Common Stock in the Limited Market. In fiscal years
1998 and 1997, the Company sold an aggregate of 927,657 and 85,505 shares of
Class A Common Stock, respectively, in the Limited Market or 36.6% and 4.5%,
respectively, of the total shares sold by all sellers in the Limited Market
during such years. To the extent that the Company chooses not to sell authorized
but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock in the Limited Market, the ability
of individuals to purchase shares on the Limited Market may be adversely
affected. No assurance can be given that an individual desiring to buy shares of
the Company's Class A Common Stock in any future trade will be able to do so.
 
          PRICE RANGE OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
 
     The price of the Class A Common Stock (the "Formula Price") is established
by the Board of Directors pursuant to the valuation process which includes the
formula set forth below (the "Formula"). The Board of Directors sets the Market
Factor (as defined below) in the Formula at the value which causes the Formula
to yield the price which the Board of Directors believes represents a fair
market value. The Formula Price is the price at which the Class A Common Stock
trades in the Limited Market and is reviewed by the Board of Directors at least
four times each year, generally in conjunction with Board of Directors meetings
which are currently scheduled for January, April, July and October. Pursuant to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the price applicable to shares of
Class B Common Stock is equal to five times the Formula Price. See
"Business -- Risk Factors -- Class A Common Stock Price Determined by Board of
Directors."
 
     The following formula is used in determining the Formula Price: the price
per share is equal to the sum of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
stockholders' equity of the Company at the end of the fiscal quarter immediately
preceding the date on which a price determination is to occur ("E") and the
denominator of which is the number of outstanding common shares and common share
equivalents at the end of such fiscal quarter ("W1") and (ii) a fraction, the
numerator of which is 5.66 multiplied by the market factor ("M" or
                                       16
<PAGE>   18
 
"Market Factor"), multiplied by the earnings of the Company for the four fiscal
quarters immediately preceding the price determination ("P"), and the
denominator of which is the weighted average number of outstanding common shares
and common share equivalents for those four fiscal quarters, as used by the
Company in computing diluted earnings per share ("W"). The number of outstanding
common shares and common share equivalents described above assumes the
conversion of each share of Class B Common Stock into five shares of Class A
Common Stock. The 5.66 multiplier is a constant which was first included in the
Formula in March 1976 to cause the price generated by the Formula to equal the
fair market value of the Class A Common Stock as determined by the Board of
Directors following an amendment of the Formula. The 5.66 multiplier has not
been assessed for change since that time. The Market Factor is a numerical
factor which is reviewed and set by the Board of Directors as part of the
valuation process. Historical values for each variable contained in the Formula
are set forth in the table on page 18.
 
     The Formula Price of the Class A Common Stock, expressed as an equation, is
as follows:
 
                          Formula Price = E + 5.66 MP
                                           W1      W
 
     A valuation formula containing consideration of stockholder equity and
earnings per share was first used by the Board of Directors in establishing the
stock price of the Class A Common Stock in 1972. The Formula was amended in
1973, by inclusion of the Market Factor, to reflect the broad range of business,
financial and market forces that also affect the fair market value of the Class
A Common Stock. The Formula was modified by the Board of Directors on April 14,
1995 to delete a limitation that the Formula Price not be less than 90% of the
net book value per share of the Class A Common Stock at the end of the quarter
immediately preceding the date on which a price revision is to occur (the "Book
Value Floor"). This modification was intended to ensure that the Formula Price
would be a fair market value as required by law. The Formula Price has always
exceeded the Book Value Floor, and the Book Value Floor has never been used to
establish the Formula Price. The Formula was also modified by the Board of
Directors on April 10, 1998 so that the Weighted Average Shares Outstanding or
"W" was derived by reference to the Company's "diluted earnings per share"
rather than by reference to the Company's "primary earnings per share." This
modification was made to conform to changes in the accounting standards related
to the calculation of earnings per share. See "Business -- Risk Factors -- Class
A Common Stock Price Determined by Board of Directors."
 
     The Board of Directors has broad discretion to modify the Formula.
Nevertheless, other than the quarterly review and possible modification of the
Market Factor, the Board of Directors will not change the Formula unless (i) in
the good faith exercise of its fiduciary duties and after consultation with the
Company's independent accountants as to whether the change would result in a
charge to earnings upon the sale of Class A Common Stock, the Board of
Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not employees of the
Company, determines that the Formula no longer results in a fair market value
for the Class A Common Stock or (ii) a change in the Formula or the method of
valuing the Class A Common Stock is required under applicable law.
 
     In determining the price of the Class A Common Stock, the Board of
Directors considers the performance of the general securities markets and
relevant industry groups, the historical financial performance of the Company
versus comparable public companies, the prospects for the Company's future
performance, general economic conditions, input from an independent appraisal
firm and other relevant factors. The Board of Directors sets the Market Factor
at the value which causes the Formula to yield a price equal to the Board of
Directors' assessment of a fair market value for the Class A Common Stock. In
conjunction with the Board of Directors' valuation process, an appraisal of
Class A Common Stock is prepared by an independent appraisal firm for the
committees administering the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries'
qualified retirement plans. Valuation input from the appraiser is one of the
factors considered by the Board of Directors in establishing the Formula Price.
The Formula Price and Market Factor, as determined by the Board of Directors,
remains in effect until subsequently changed by the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors believes that the valuation process results in a value which
represents a fair market value for the Class A Common Stock within a broad range
of financial criteria.
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   19
     The value assigned by the Board of Directors to the Market Factor has been
subject to larger and more frequent changes. Nonetheless, the Board of Directors
continues to use the Formula in determining the Formula Price. The price of the
Class A Common Stock and the Market Factor could be subject to greater
fluctuations in the future than in the past due to a number of factors,
including (i) plans to continue to increase the proportion of the Company's
business involving private sector customers, international customers and
information technology and the greater stock price volatility associated with
companies in such business areas, (ii) the financial leverage impact of current
and any future debt levels of the Company as debt financing is used to finance
acquisitions and for other purposes, (iii) the impact of other equity
transactions that the Company may pursue, including public offerings of
securities of the Company's subsidiaries or affiliates, and (iv) the volatility
of the stock price of the Class A Common Stock of NSI, a publicly-traded
security of a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, and its impact on the
Formula Price. See "Business -- Risk Factors -- Possible Volatility of Stock
Price."
 
     The following table sets forth information concerning the Formula Price for
the Class A Common Stock, the applicable price for the Class B Common Stock and
each of the variables contained in the Formula, including the Market Factor, in
effect for the periods beginning on the dates indicated. There can be no
assurance that the Class A Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock will in the
future provide returns comparable to historical returns. See "Business -- Risk
Factors -- No Assurances Regarding Future Returns."

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company provides diversified professional and technical services
("Technical Services") involving the application of scientific expertise,
together with computer and systems technology, to solve complex technical
problems for a broad range of government and commercial customers, both in the
U.S. and abroad. In addition, the Company also designs, develops and
manufactures high-technology products ("Products"). The Company's Technical
Services and Products have been primarily sold to departments and agencies of
the U.S. Government. During 1998, the Company completed several key transactions
that have had positive impacts to its consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows and expanded the Company's business with commercial
customers.
 
     On January 2, 1997, the Company formed a foreign joint venture,
Informatica, Negocio y Tecnologia, S.A. ("INTESA"), with Venezuela's national
oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A., to provide information technology
services in Latin America. Accordingly, the Company consolidated its 60%
majority interest in INTESA, whose fiscal year end is December 31, in its
consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 1998. Since
Venezuela is considered a highly inflationary economy, the functional currency
of INTESA is the U.S. dollar. Remeasurement gains or losses of this joint
venture are recognized in the consolidated results of operations.
 
     On March 7, 1997, the Company sold the majority of the net assets of its
SAIT business unit and recognized a gain of $4 million on the sale which is
reflected in other income. SAIT manufactured data display devices and
"ruggedized" personal computers which accounted for 49% of the Products revenue
in 1997.
 
     On October 1, 1997, the Company and its subsidiary Network Solutions, Inc.
(NSI) sold 3,795,000 shares of NSI Class A common stock in an initial public
offering. The Company's net proceeds from the offering were $64 million
resulting in a gain of $61 million which was recorded as additional paid-in-
capital. Prior to the offering, NSI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. Upon completion of the offering, the Company has a 76% ownership
interest in NSI, which represents 97% of the combined voting power of the
outstanding common stock. NSI provides Internet domain name registration
services and Intranet consulting and network design and implementation services.
 
     On November 14, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition (the "Bellcore
Acquisition") of all the issued and outstanding common stock of Bell
Communications Research, Inc. ("Bellcore") from the Regional Bell Operating
Companies ("RBOCs"). Upon the closing of the Bellcore Acquisition, Bellcore
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and approximately 5,500 Bellcore
employees joined the Company. The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and Bellcore's results of operations have been
included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase
price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
upon their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the net book
value of assets acquired has been allocated to other identifiable intangible
assets and goodwill. Bellcore is a global provider of software development,
engineering and consulting services, advanced research and development,
technical training and other services to the telecommunications industry.
 
     On January 29, 1998, the Company issued public debt securities with a
principal amount of $100 million. These debt securities are ten year fixed rate
notes with interest paid at 6.75%. Cash proceeds to the Company were $99
million.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     Revenues increased 29%, 11% and 12% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
over the prior year. INTESA, Bellcore and NSI were directly responsible for 21
percentage points of the increase in 1998. The remaining increase in revenues of
8 percentage points was attributable to internal growth in the traditional
business areas. Revenues in 1998 from the Company's principal customer, the U.S.
Government, continued to
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   22
 
shift toward lower cost service type contracts. This trend reflects the
increasingly competitive business environment in the Company's traditional
business areas, as well as the Company's increased success in the engineering
and field services markets, which typically involve lower cost service type
contracts.
 
     The sale of Technical Services and Products to the U.S. Government as a
prime contractor or subcontractor accounted for 66% of revenues in 1998, 79% in
1997 and 83% in 1996. The decrease from 1996 to 1998 is primarily attributable
to growth in non-U.S. Government revenues as a result of the Company's efforts
to increase revenues from commercial and international clients and state and
local governments in the health, commercial information technology,
telecommunications and transportation business areas. On an absolute basis, U.S.
Government revenues increased 7% in 1998, 6% in 1997 and 8% in 1996. Non-U.S.
Government revenues increased 109% in 1998, 40% in 1997 and 35% in 1996, over
the prior year. The larger increase in non-U.S. Government revenues in 1998 is
primarily attributable to the Bellcore Acquisition, INTESA and growth in NSI
revenues over 1997.
 
     The following table summarizes revenues by contract type for the last three
years:

</TABLE>
 
     Cost-reimbursement contracts provide for the reimbursement of direct costs
and allowable indirect costs, plus a fee or profit component. Time-and-materials
("T&M") contracts typically provide for the payment of negotiated fixed hourly
rates for labor hours incurred plus reimbursement of other allowable direct
costs at actual cost plus allocable indirect costs. Fixed-price level-of-effort
("FP-LOE") contracts are similar to T&M contracts since ultimately revenues are
based upon the labor hours provided to the customer. Firm fixed-price contracts
require the Company to provide stipulated products, systems or services for a
fixed price. The Company assumes greater performance risk on firm fixed-price
contracts and the failure to accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control
costs during performance of the work may result in reduced profits or losses.
The increase in revenues from firm fixed-price contracts and associated relative
decrease in revenues from cost-reimbursement contracts from 1996 to 1998 result
primarily from the Company's growth in non-U.S. Government revenues. The
Company's non-U.S. Government customers typically do not contract on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
 
     The Company's business is directly related to the receipt of contract
awards and contract performance. There were 440 contracts with annual revenues
greater than $1 million in 1998, compared with 412 and 349 such contracts in
1997 and 1996, respectively. These larger contracts represented 71% of the
Company's revenues in 1998 compared to 75% in 1997 and 76% in 1996. Of these
contracts, 39 contracts had individual revenues greater than $10 million in 1998
compared to 28 such contracts in 1997 and 21 in 1996. The remainder of the
Company's revenues are derived from a large number of contracts with individual
revenues less than $1 million. Although the Company has committed substantial
resources and personnel required to pursue and perform larger contracts, the
Company believes it also maintains a suitable environment for the performance of
smaller, highly technical research and development contracts. These smaller
programs often provide the foundation for the Company's success on larger
procurements. Revenues on the Company's contracts are generated from the efforts
of its technical staff as well as the pass through of costs for material and
subcontract efforts, which primarily occur on large, multi-year system
integration type contracts. At the end of 1998, the Company had 30,300 full-time
employees compared to 20,900 and 19,500 at the end of 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Material and subcontract ("M&S") revenues were $755 million in
1998, $667 million in 1997 and $616 million in 1996. As a percentage of total
revenues, M&S revenues decreased to 25% in 1998 from 28% in 1997 and 29% in
1996. The decrease in 1998 is primarily attributable to faster growth in labor-
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   23
 
related revenues and the sale of SAIT, which decreased M&S revenues in 1998 and
had accounted for 12% of M&S revenues in 1997.
 
     The revenue mix between the Technical Services segment and the Products
segment was 98% and 2%, respectively, of consolidated revenues in 1998, 94% and
6%, respectively, in 1997 and 1996. Within the Technical Services segment,
revenues are further classified between "National Security," "Health,"
"Environment," "Energy," "Telecommunications," "Commercial Information
Technology" and "Other Technical Services." Other Technical Services includes
the transportation, space and other business areas.
 
     National Security revenues were 37% of total revenues in 1998 compared to
44% in 1997 and 45% in 1996. Although National Security revenues declined as a
percentage of total revenues, on an absolute basis, these revenues increased 10%
in 1998, 8% in 1997 and 9% in 1996 over the prior year, in spite of declines in
the overall defense market during these periods. The U.S. Government maintained
funding in the National Security areas in which the Company believes it has
strong capabilities, such as command, control, communications, computers,
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaisance ("C4ISR"), research and
development, training, logistics and simulation. Revenues in the Health business
area were 12% of total revenues in 1998 and 14% in 1997 and 1996. Although
Health revenues declined as a percentage of total revenues, on an absolute
basis, these revenues have increased 9% in 1998, 10% in 1997 and 47% in 1996. In
1996, approximately 10% of consolidated revenues was derived from one U.S.
government contract in the Health business area, which was substantially
completed in 1997. However, to date, the Company has maintained and increased
the level of its revenues in the Health business area through other contracts.
Revenues from the Environment business were 9% of total revenues in 1998, 11% in
1997 and 13% in 1996. Energy revenues were 3% of total revenues in 1998, 4% in
1997 and 6% in 1996. The decreases in the Environment and Energy business areas
primarily reflect the budget reductions and changing priorities of the Company's
U.S. Government and commercial customers. Telecommunications revenues were 8% of
total revenues in 1998 and 1% in 1997 and 1996. The increase in
Telecommunications revenues in 1998 reflects the acquisition of Bellcore which
primarily generates revenues in the Telecommunications segment. Commercial
Information Technology revenues were 14% of total revenues in 1998, 4% in 1997
and 2% in 1996. The increase in Commercial Information Technology revenues
reflects the Company's efforts to increase revenues from commercial and
international clients in the information technology area. INTESA and NSI both
contributed to the growth in Commercial Information Technology revenues. Other
Technical Services revenues were 14% of total revenues in 1998, 15% in 1997 and
12% in 1996. The increase in Other Technical Services revenues as a percent of
total revenues in 1997 compared to 1996 reflects the Company's expansion in the
transportation business area and mirrors the country's shift of priorities and
resources from defense programs to civilian programs in areas such as
transportation. The Company expects this trend of shifting priorities of the
country to continue. In order for the Company to maintain or exceed historical
revenue growth rates, it will need to continue to increase its market share in
the National Security business area and/or increase its revenues from the
Health, Environment, Energy, Telecommunications, Commercial information
technology and Other Technical Services business areas.
 
     Products revenues were 2% of total revenues in 1998 and 6% in 1997 and
1996. The decrease in product revenues as a percentage of total revenues is
attributable to the sale of SAIT in 1998.
 
     The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 85.1% in 1998, 87.2%
in 1997 and 87.0% in 1996. The decrease in 1998 reflects the growth in
commercial revenues from Bellcore, INTESA and NSI, which have more of their
associated costs in SG&A as opposed to cost of revenues.
 
     SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 9.8%, 8.0% and 8.1% in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively. SG&A is comprised of general and administrative
("G&A"), bid and proposal ("B&P") and independent research and development
("IR&D") expenses. G&A, B&P and IR&D increased as a percentage of revenues due
to the growth in commercial revenues which have more of their associated costs
in SG&A as opposed to cost of revenues. While the level of B&P activity and
costs have historically fluctuated depending on the availability of bidding
opportunities and resources, B&P costs have increased in relation to revenues in
1998. IR&D costs have also historically fluctuated depending on the stage of
development for various hardware and software systems and have increased in
relation to revenues in 1998. G&A costs as a
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   24
 
percentage of total revenues were 6.4% in 1998 compared to 5.6% in 1997 and 5.8%
in 1996. The increase in G&A costs represents the combination of the growth in
commercial business and increased acquisition costs incurred in connection with
the Bellcore Acquisition. In 1998 and 1997, continued declining operating
results of certain acquired companies made the recovery of certain goodwill
unlikely as determined by the undiscounted cash flow method. The Company reduced
goodwill by $2.9 million and $6.2 million to its estimated recoverable value in
1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company continues to closely monitor G&A
expenses as part of an on-going program to control indirect costs.
 
     Operating profit margins by segment are strongly correlated to the
Company's financial performance on the contracts within each segment. The
operating profit margin in the Technical Services segment was 5.5% in 1998, 4.8%
in 1997 and 5.0% in 1996. The National Security operating profit margin was 4.2%
in 1998, 5.2% in 1997 and 5.0% in 1996. The lower operating profit margin in
1998 as compared to 1997 and 1996 was a result of overruns on certain firm
fixed-price contracts in the National Security area. Health operating profit
margin was 8.0% in 1998, 7.2% in 1997 and 6.1% in 1996. Environment operating
profit margin was 4.5% in 1998, 2.1% in 1997 and 4.4% in 1996. The lower
operating profit margin in 1997 was the result of losses on certain contracts in
the local government and private sector markets. Energy operating profit margin
was 4.7% in 1998, 5.7% in 1997 and 5.3% in 1996. Telecommunications operating
profit margin was 11.3% in 1998, 11.8% in 1997 and 7.5% in 1996. The
Telecommunications business area performance in 1998 is dominated by Bellcore.
Commercial Information Technology operating profit margin was 6.6% in 1998, a
loss of 6.1% in 1997 and profit of .4% in 1996. The loss in 1997 primarily
relates to operating losses at NSI. The operating profit margin in Other
Technical Services was 3.2% in 1998, 5.7% in 1997 and 4.4% in 1996. The decrease
in Other Technical Services operating profit margin in 1998 was primarily
attributable to overruns on certain firm fixed-price contracts. The operating
profit margin in the Products segment was a loss of 1.9% in 1998, profit of 5.7%
in 1997 and profit of 4.6% in 1996. The operating loss in 1998 was attributable
to overruns on certain firm fixed-price contracts. In general, overall operating
profit margins for the Company increased in 1998 compared to 1997 and 1996
despite overruns on certain firm fixed-price contracts.
 
     Interest expense in 1998, 1997 and 1996 primarily relates to interest on
building mortgages, deferred compensation, capital lease obligations, notes
payable and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities. Increase
in interest expense was primarily driven by an increase in the average
borrowings outstanding during 1998 compared to 1997 and 1996. Average borrowings
in 1998 increased as a result of financing the acquisition of Bellcore.
 
     Other income, net of other expense, was $16 million in 1998 compared to $2
million in 1997 and $111 thousand in 1996. The increase in other income
represents a combination of effects. Primarily increasing other income was
increased interest income and the gain on sale of SAIT and certain other
business assets. Offsetting the increase in other income was a loss on the
forward treasury lock agreements. The Company entered into these treasury lock
agreements, totaling $200 million, in 1997 to manage exposure to fluctuations in
interest rates on an anticipated, probable issuance of debt that was to be used
to finance the Bellcore acquisition. Due to changes in market conditions, an
unexpected decline in interest rates and availability of cash, the Company only
issued $100 million of debt, thus resulting in the recognition of a loss in
other expense.
 
     The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income
taxes was 46.5% in 1998, 43.8% in 1997 and 44.0% in 1996. The higher effective
tax rate in 1998 compared to 1997 and 1996 is primarily attributable to
non-deductible goodwill amortization and non-deductible losses in foreign
operations.
 
     The Bellcore Acquisition has resulted in a substantial growth in both
employee base and commercial revenues in the period since November 14, 1997.
Since the integration of Bellcore is still in its early stages, the growth and
debt brought on by the acquisition could still place a significant strain on the
Company's management, operational and financial resources if the Company does
not effectively manage the expansion of its operations. There can be no
assurance that the Company's systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to
support the integration of Bellcore. Any inability to effectively integrate
Bellcore or manage the growth could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. As of January 31, 1998,
the integration of Bellcore has not had an adverse effect on the Company. In
addition,
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   25
 
Bellcore has historically derived substantially all of its revenues from the
RBOCs. In order for Bellcore to maintain or exceed historical revenue growth
rates, it will need to continue to increase its market share from its principal
customers, the RBOCs, or diversify with new customers.
 
     As described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, during
1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). Dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS for all periods presented is required.
Accordingly, EPS has been restated for 1997 and 1996 to conform with the new
standard. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS except that the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is increased to
include the effect of stock options and other stock awards granted to employees
under stock-based compensation plans that were outstanding during the period.
 
     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the
financial statements and will be adopted by the Company in 1999. SFAS No. 131
establishes new standards for reporting operating segment information in annual
financial statements and reporting selected information about operating segments
in interim financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 for the
year ending January 31, 1999 and the interim period ending April 30, 2000. In
February 1998, SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" was issued and revises disclosures about pension and
other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or
recognition of those plans. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 132 in 1999. Since
these statements address disclosure and reporting issues, adoption of these
statements will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
 
     The Company has commenced, and in some cases finalized, the evaluation of
computer systems to ensure its operations will not be adversely impacted by the
Year 2000 software problems. In 1996, the Company initiated a program to prepare
the Company's centralized internal computer systems and applications for the
Year 2000. The evaluation determined that certain portions of the Company's
software and systems required modification or replacement. Remediation efforts
have begun, with testing and validation to be completed in 1999. The costs
specifically associated with modifying internal-use software for the Year 2000
are expensed as incurred. The costs to modify internal-use software have not
had, nor are they anticipated to have, a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or
its ability to conduct business.
 
     The Company has initiated communications with its critical service
suppliers and vendors to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable
to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. There
can be no assurance that such failure would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's systems, results of operations and ability to do business.
Furthermore, the Company has implemented an on-going program to assess its
exposure with respect to its products and services. As part of this program, the
Company is meeting with its significant customers and discussing opportunities
to perform additional services in order to resolve their Year 2000 issues. To
date, no matters have come to the attention of the Company's management that
would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations, cash flows or its ability to conduct business.
 
     The Company's assessment of the Year 2000 issue, including the costs of the
project and timing of completion are based on management's best estimates and
input from third party customers, service providers, suppliers and vendors.
These estimates were derived using numerous assumptions about future events,
including continued availability of certain resources, third party modifications
plans and other factors. However, there can be no assurance that these estimates
will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated.
 
     While the Company does not believe that the Year 2000 matters discussed
above will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations, cash flows and its ability to conduct business,
it is uncertain whether or to what extent the Company may be affected by such
matters.
                                       24
<PAGE>   26
 
     The Company is involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits
arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in the opinion of
the Company's management, will have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its
ability to conduct business.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     On August 20, 1997, the Company entered into two new credit facilities (the
"Facilities") totaling $900 million with a group of financial institutions which
provide for (i) a five-year reducing revolving credit facility of up to $700
million and (ii) a 364-day revolving credit facility of up to $200 million. The
Facilities were entered into to provide funding for the Bellcore Acquisition and
for general corporate purposes and replace the $105 million unsecured revolving
credit facility. In January 1998, upon issuance of public debt securities, the
Company terminated the 364-day revolving credit facility. The Company is subject
to certain financial covenants under the terms of the credit facility and was in
compliance with these covenants at the end of 1998.
 
     The Company's primary sources of liquidity continue to be funds provided by
operations and the Five-Year revolving credit facility. In 1998, the issuance of
public debt securities was a source of liquidity for the Company. At January 31,
1998 and 1997, there were no borrowings outstanding under either the new or old
credit agreements, respectively, and cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments totaled $230 million and $45 million, respectively. Cash flows
generated from operating activities were $351 million in 1998 compared to $111
million in 1997 and $53 million in 1996. Average revenue days outstanding
decreased to 68 in 1998 from 74 in 1997 and 1996. The Company continues to
actively monitor receivables with emphasis placed on collection activities and
the negotiation of more favorable payment terms.
 
     Cash flows spent on investing activities were $397 million in 1998 compared
to $57 million and $39 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in
spending on investing activities in 1998 and 1997 is primarily attributable to
business acquisitions and the acquisition of capital assets. The primary use of
cash in 1998 was the Bellcore Acquisition. Although the Company used $340
million of cash for acquisitions of certain business assets, net of cash
acquired, in 1998, the Company also received proceeds of $48 million from the
sale of SAIT and other smaller business assets. The Company spent $23 million
for acquisitions of businesses in 1997 to complement the Company's capabilities
in the areas of commercial information technology, transportation and national
security. In 1996, $21 million was spent to acquire equity interests in
commercial and international businesses. The Company intends to continue to make
additional acquisitions and equity investments in the future. Capital
expenditures, excluding land and buildings, were $52 million, $38 million and
$31 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and are expected to be
approximately $78 million for 1999. Expenditures for land and buildings were $18
million, $5 million and $1 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and are
expected to be approximately $18 million for 1999.
 
     The Company generated $191 million from financing activities in 1998
compared to a use of cash of $31 million and $19 million in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. In 1998, the primary sources of cash were the proceeds from
issuing public debt securities, proceeds from the initial public offering of NSI
common stock and proceeds from the sale of the Company's common stock. In 1997
and 1996, funds were utilized primarily for common stock repurchases and
payments on long-term debt. The increase in common stock repurchases in 1997
from 1996 was primarily attributable to increased repurchases of common stock
from the Company's Employee Stock Retirement Plan ("ESRP") in order for the ESRP
to fund payouts to participants.
 
     The Company's cash flows from operations plus borrowing capacity are
expected to provide sufficient funds for the Company's operations, common stock
repurchases, capital expenditures and future long-term debt requirements. In
addition, acquisitions and equity investments in the future are expected to be
financed from operations and borrowing capacity as well as the issuance of
Company common stock.
 
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
 
     Over half of the Company's contracts are cost-reimbursement type contracts
or are completed within one year. As a result, the Company has been able to
anticipate increases in costs when pricing its contracts. Bids for longer term
firm fixed-price and T&M type contracts typically include labor and other cost
escalations in
                                       25
<PAGE>   27
 
amounts expected to be sufficient to cover cost increases over the period of
performance. Consequently, because costs and revenues include an inflationary
increase commensurate with the general economy, net income, as a percentage of
revenues, has not been significantly impacted by inflation. As the Company
expands into the international markets and into highly inflationary economies,
movements in foreign currency exchange rates may impact the Company's results of
operations. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may also affect the Company's
competitive position as a result of its impact on the Company's profitability
and the pricing offered to its non-U.S. customers.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
     The foregoing discussion in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking
statements, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current
expectations of the Company or its officers with respect to, among other things,
trends affecting the Company's financial condition or results of operation and
the impact of competition. Such statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to: a decrease in or
the failure to increase business with the U.S. Government; the ability of the
Company to effectively continue integrating Bellcore; the ability of Bellcore to
maintain or increase its market share with the RBOCs (Bellcore's principal
customers), or diversify with new customers; the ability of the Company to
continue to identify and consummate additional acquisitions; the ability of the
Company to competitively price its Technical Services and Products; the risk of
early termination of U.S. Government contracts; the risk of losses or reduced
profits on firm fixed-price contracts; a failure to obtain reimbursement for
costs incurred prior to the execution of a contract or contract modification;
audits of the Company's costs, including allocated indirect costs, by the U.S.
Government; the ability of the Company and third party customers, service
providers and suppliers to address the Year 2000 issue and other uncertainties,
all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control
of the Company. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of the date hereof.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Science Applications International Corporation
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Science Applications International Corporation and its subsidiaries
at January 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                 SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Consolidation
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Science
Applications International Corporation and all majority- and wholly-owned U.S.
and international subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Company"). All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in
consolidation. Investments in affiliates and corporate joint ventures owned
twenty to fifty percent and over which the Company exercises significant
influence are accounted for under the equity method. Other investments are
generally carried at cost. Outside investors' interest in the majority-owned
subsidiaries is reflected as minority interest.
 
     Certain of the Company's majority- and wholly-owned subsidiaries have
fiscal years ending December 31. The financial position and results of
operations of these subsidiaries are included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 1998. There were
no material intervening events since December 31, 1997 which would materially
affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
     On January 2, 1997, the Company formed a joint venture, Informatica,
Negocio y Tecnologia, S.A. ("INTESA"), with Venezuela's national oil company,
Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. ("PDVSA"), to provide information technology
services in Latin America. Accordingly, the Company consolidated its 60%
majority interest in INTESA, whose fiscal year end is December 31, in the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 1998.
 
  Use of estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available
information and actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Fair value of financial instruments
 
     It is management's belief that the carrying amounts shown for the Company's
financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, short-term
investments, equity securities, long-term receivables and long-term debt, are
reasonable estimates of their related fair values. The carrying amount of cash
and cash equivalents and short-term investments approximates fair value because
of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of equity securities
are based upon quoted market prices. The fair value of long-term receivables is
estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows at interest rates
commensurate with the creditworthiness of customers and other third parties. The
fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices for
similar instruments and current rates offered to the Company for similar debt
with the same remaining maturities.
 
  Contract revenues
 
     The Company's revenues result from contract services performed for
commercial customers and the U.S. Government or from subcontracts with other
contractors engaged in work for the U.S. Government under a variety of
contracts, some of which provide for reimbursement of cost plus fees and others
which are fixed-price or time-and-materials type contracts. Generally, revenues
and fees on these contracts are recognized as services are performed, using the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting, primarily based on contract costs
incurred to date compared with total estimated costs at completion. The Company
also derives revenues from software license fees, maintenance contracts and
registration services. Software license fees are

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
recognized when the software has been shipped and there are no significant
obligations remaining. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over
the term of the respective contracts as maintenance services are provided.
Revenues from registration services are recognized on a straight-line basis over
the life of the registration term. Revenues from the sale of manufactured
products are recorded when the products are shipped.
 
     The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by a charge to
income during the period in which the losses are first identified. Unbilled
receivables are stated at estimated realizable value. Contract costs on U.S.
Government contracts, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and
adjustment by negotiations between the Company and government representatives.
Substantially all of the Company's indirect contract costs have been agreed upon
through 1997. Contract revenues on U.S. Government contracts have been recorded
in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final settlement.
 
  Cash and cash equivalents
 
     Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less. Of the $189,387,000 and $45,279,000 total cash
and cash equivalents at January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, $175,821,000
and $16,161,000, respectively, was invested in commercial paper, institutional
money market funds and time deposits.

     Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in
debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such
determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as
held to maturity or available for sale and are recorded at amortized cost and
fair value, respectively. As of January 31, 1998, the Company had $175,821,000
in debt securities classified as cash equivalents held to maturity, $40,200,000
of debt securities classified as available for sale which are included in other
current assets and $5,768,000 of equity securities classified as available for
sale which are included in other assets. As of January 31, 1997, the Company had
$16,161,000 in debt securities classified as cash equivalents held to maturity.
Gross unrealized losses on the Company's available for sale securities were
$3,691,000 as of January 31, 1998.
 
  Restricted cash
 
     The Company's majority-owned subsidiary Network Solutions, Inc. ("NSI") had
an agreement with the National Science Foundation ("NSF") which required NSI to
set aside 30% of the cash collections from domain name registrations to be
reinvested for the enhancement of the intellectual infrastructure of the
Internet. On March 12, 1998, effective April 1, 1998, the NSF amended the
agreement to eliminate this requirement and reduce domain name registration
fees. The Company also has a contract to provide support services to the
National Cancer Institute's Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center
("Center"). As part of the contract, the Company is responsible for paying for
materials, equipment and other direct costs of the Center through the use of a
restricted cash account which is pre-funded by the U.S. Government.
 
  Inventories
 
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the moving average and first-in, first-out methods.
 
  Buildings, property and equipment
 
     Depreciation and amortization of buildings and related improvements are
provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of thirty to
forty years and ten years, respectively. Depreciation and
 
                                       F-8
<PAGE>   40
                 SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
amortization of property and equipment are provided over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, primarily using a declining-balance method. The useful
lives are three to ten years for equipment and the shorter of the useful lives
or the terms of the leases for leasehold improvements.
 
     Additions to property and equipment together with major renewals and
betterments are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and
betterments are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed
of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
 
  Long-lived assets
 
     The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when
there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of
the asset's carrying value unlikely. An impairment loss would be recognized when
the sum of the expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount
of the asset.
 
  Goodwill and other intangible assets
 
     Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase cost over the fair value of
net assets acquired in an acquisition. Goodwill and other identifiable
intangible assets are amortized on a straight line method generally over three
to fifteen years. The carrying value of the Company's goodwill and other
intangible assets are reviewed when the facts and circumstances suggest that
they may be permanently impaired. If the review indicates that the intangible
assets may not be recoverable, as determined by the undiscounted cash flow
method, the assets will be reduced to their estimated recoverable value.
Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets amounted to $16,653,000,
$16,839,000 and $11,044,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Accumulated
amortization was $60,523,000 and $43,870,000 at January 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
 
     During 1998 and 1997, there was evidence that events and changes in
circumstances made recovery of certain goodwill unlikely. It was estimated that
$2,878,000 and $6,154,000 of the carrying value of goodwill was impaired;
accordingly, those amounts were charged to income in 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and included in selling, general and administrative expense.
 
  Income taxes
 
     Income taxes are provided utilizing the liability method. The liability
method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Additionally, under the
liability method, changes in tax rates and laws will be reflected in income in
the period such changes are enacted.
 
  Stock-based compensation
 
     Effective February 1, 1996, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and
elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic
value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations.
Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess,
if any, of the fair value of the Company's stock as determined by the Board of
Directors at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire
the stock. Pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the
fair value-based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied in measuring
compensation expense, are presented in Note L.
 
  Common stock and earnings per share
 
     Class A and Class B Common Stock are collectively referred to as common
stock in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements unless otherwise
indicated. A general public market for the Company's
 
                                       F-9

                 SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
common stock does not exist. Periodic determinations of the price of the common
stock are made by the Board of Directors pursuant to a valuation process which
includes a stock price formula. Valuation input from an independent appraisal
firm is one of the factors considered by the Board of Directors in establishing
the stock price. The Board of Directors believes that the valuation process
results in a value which represents a fair market value for the Class A Common
Stock within a broad range of financial criteria. The Board of Directors
reserves the right to alter the formula and valuation process.
 
     The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). Dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS for all periods presented is required.
Accordingly, EPS has been restated for 1997 and 1996 to conform with the new
standard (Note K). Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS except that the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is increased to
include the effect of stock options and other stock awards granted to employees
under stock-based compensation plans that were outstanding during the period.
 
  Other financial instruments
 
     The Company initiates hedging activities by entering into currency exchange
agreements consisting principally of currency forward contracts to minimize
revenue and cost variations which could result from fluctuations in currency
exchange rates. These instruments, consistent with the underlying purchase or
sale commitments, typically mature within seven years of origination. In the
event of an early termination of a currency agreement designated as a hedge, the
gain or loss will continue to be deferred and will be included in the settlement
of the underlying transaction. At January 31, 1998, the Company had
approximately $8,359,000 of foreign currency forward exchange contracts in
British pounds sterling, French francs, German marks, Australian dollars and
Spanish pesetas outstanding with net deferred gains of $103,000.
 
     In January 1997, the Company entered into forward treasury lock agreements
for a total of $200,000,000. Such agreements were entered into to manage
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on an anticipated, probable issuance
of debt that was to be used to finance the acquisition of Bell Communications
Research, Inc. ("Bellcore"). The agreements terminated in January 1998 resulting
in losses. Due to changes in market conditions, an unexpected decline in
interest rates and availability of cash, in January 1998, the Company only
issued ten year fixed rate notes with a principal amount of $100,000,000.
Therefore, a loss of $9,047,000 was recorded as other expense upon termination
of the agreement and a loss of $9,356,000 was deferred, included in long-term
debt and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the fixed rate
notes (Note J).
 
  Concentration of credit risk
 
     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents,
short-term investments, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and long-
term receivables.
 
     The Company invests its excess cash principally in U.S. Government and
municipal debt securities and commercial paper and has established guidelines
relative to diversification and maturities in an effort to maintain safety and
liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take
advantage of trends in yields and interest rates.
 
     Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited
because the Company's principal customers are the Regional Bell Operating
Companies, various agencies of the U.S. Government and commercial customers
engaged in work for the U.S. government. The credit risk with the U.S.
Government is limited and the financial strength of the Regional Bell Operating
Companies limits the risk on those receivables.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  Foreign currency
 
     Financial statements of international subsidiaries, for which the
functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars
using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities
and a weighted average exchange rate for revenues, expenses, gains and losses.
Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries that
operate in highly inflationary economies (INTESA and SAIC de Mexico) is the U.S.
dollar. The monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are
translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet
date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the average
exchange rate for the period, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are
translated at historical rates. Resulting remeasurement gains or losses of these
foreign subsidiaries are recognized in the consolidated results of operations.
 
  Recently issued accounting pronouncements
 
     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the
financial statements and will be adopted by the Company in 1999. SFAS No. 131
establishes new standards for reporting operating segment information in annual
financial statements and reporting selected information about operating segments
in interim financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 for the
year ending January 31, 1999 and the interim period ending April 30, 2000. In
February 1998, SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" was issued and revises disclosures about pension and
other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or
recognition of those plans. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 132 in 1999. Since
these statements address disclosure and reporting issues, adoption of the
statements will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
 
  Issuance of stock by subsidiary
 
     Gains or losses on issuances of unissued shares of stock by a subsidiary
are recorded directly to additional paid-in capital. On October 1, 1997, the
Company and its subsidiary NSI completed an initial public offering of 3,795,000
shares of NSI Class A Common Stock. The initial offering price was $18 per share
with net proceeds to the Company of $63,528,000 resulting in a gain of
$60,664,000 which was recorded as additional paid-in capital. Prior to the
offering, NSI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of
the offering, the Company has a 76% ownership interest in NSI, which represents
97% of the combined voting power of the outstanding common stock. NSI provides
Internet domain name registration services and Intranet consulting and network
design and implementation services.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain amounts from previous years have been reclassified in the
consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.
 
NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES:
 
     The carrying value of the Company's equity investments was $28,990,000 and
$28,979,000 at January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which includes the
unamortized excess of the Company's investments over its equity in the
underlying net assets of $10,891,000 and $13,333,000, respectively.
 
     The Company has made acquisitions of certain business assets and companies
which have been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The
operations of the companies and businesses

acquired have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the
purchase price over fair value of the net assets acquired has been allocated to
goodwill.
 
     On November 14, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of all the
issued and outstanding common stock of Bellcore, a global provider of
communications software, engineering, and professional services, pursuant to a
definitive acquisition agreement dated November 20, 1996, as amended. Bellcore
was previously owned by the Regional Bell Operating Companies ("RBOCs"), which
include Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, Bell South, NYNEX, Pacific Telesis Group, SBC
Communications, and US WEST or their affiliates. The aggregate purchase price
was approximately $467,133,000, including deferred transaction costs, and was
funded from the Company's available cash on hand and from bank borrowings,
including borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities (Note F).
The Company is in final negotiations and does not anticipate a material change
to the purchase price or assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The
acquisition is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and
the results of operations for Bellcore have been included in the financial
statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair
values. The excess purchase price over the net book value of assets acquired has
been allocated to other identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, which will
be amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of three to fifteen years.
 
     Following is a summary of the purchase price allocation to record assets
and liabilities at estimated fair value (dollar amounts in thousands):

     The following unaudited pro forma summary information presents the
consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition had been completed at
the beginning of the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations of the consolidated Company that might have occurred had
the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the periods specified, nor
are they necessarily indicative of future operating results. Up to the date of
closing, Bellcore derived its revenues principally from the RBOCs, who operated
in a regulatory environment, under service agreements which provided for
recovery of certain regulatory costs, including return on investment.
Furthermore, Bellcore's net income had been based on a statutory return on its
asset base while owned by the RBOCs. In addition to reflecting Bellcore's
results of operations while owned by the RBOCs, the pro forma amounts give
effect to certain adjustments, including the amortization of intangibles and
goodwill, additional depreciation expense, increased interest expense and income
tax effects.

     Because of the nature of the Company's business, sales between segments are
not material. Segment operating results reflect general corporate expense
allocations because all such expenses are allocated to individual cost
objectives by the Company, as required by Government Cost Accounting Standards.
Certain wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries operate in a particular
industry segment, and therefore, all of their assets are identifiable to that
particular industry segment. Identifiable assets of certain other operations

consist of receivables, inventories and intangible assets. All other assets of
these operations are either corporate in nature, are not identifiable with
particular segments or are not material. Capital expenditures and depreciation
and amortization are not identified as to certain industry segments for similar
reasons.
 
     During 1998, 1997 and 1996, approximately 66%, 79% and 83%, respectively,
of the Company's contract revenues were attributable to prime contracts with the
U.S. Government or to subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work for
the U.S. Government. In 1996, approximately 10% of the Company's consolidated
revenues were derived from one U.S. Government contract in the Health business
area, which was a contract to automate the information systems for the
Department of Defense's medical treatment facilities worldwide. This contract
was substantially completed in 1997. No single contract had revenues greater
than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 1998 and 1997.
 
     Revenues, operating income and identifiable assets from international
subsidiaries were $312,412,000, $14,888,000 and $245,096,000, respectively, in
1998. Such amounts were not material in 1997 and 1996. Revenues, operating
income and identifiable assets from domestic operations were $2,776,939,000,
$150,031,000 and $1,802,296,000 in 1998. Corporate and other assets were
$367,842,000 in 1998.

</TABLE>
 
     Unbilled receivables at January 31, 1998 and 1997 include $15,247,000 and
$13,976,000, respectively, related to costs incurred on projects for which the
Company has been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract or
extend work under an existing contract, but for which formal contracts or
contract modifications have not been executed. These amounts have been included
in Technical Services revenues. The balance of unbilled receivables consist of
costs and fees billable on contract completion or other specified events, the
majority of which is expected to be billed and collected within one year.
Contract retentions are billed when the Company has negotiated final indirect
rates with the U.S. Government and, once billed, are subject to audit and
approval by outside third parties. Consequently, the timing of collection of
retention balances is outside the Company's control. Based on the Company's
historical experience, the majority of the retention balance is expected to be
collected beyond one year.
 
NOTE F -- REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES:
 
     In August 1997, the Company entered into two new credit facilities
("Facilities") totaling $900,000,000 with a group of financial institutions
which provide for (i) a five-year reducing revolving credit facility of up to
$700,000,000 and (ii) a 364-day revolving credit facility of up to $200,000,000.
These Facilities were entered

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
into to provide funding for the acquisition of Bellcore and for general
corporate purposes and replaced the $105,000,000 unsecured revolving credit loan
agreements. In January 1998, upon issuance of long-term notes (Note J), the
Company terminated the 364-day revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the
remaining $700,000,000 facility ("Credit Facility") are unsecured and bear
interest, at the Company's option, at various rates based on the base rate, bid
rate or on margins over the CD rate or LIBOR. The Company pays a facility fee on
the total commitment amount. Certain financial covenants required by the Credit
Facility, such as, requiring the Company to maintain certain levels of net worth
and an interest coverage ratio, as well as limitation on indebtedness have been
maintained as of January 31, 1998.
 
     There were no balances outstanding under any credit agreements at January
31, 1998 and 1997. As of January 31, 1998, the entire $700,000,000 was available
under the most restrictive debt covenants of the credit facility. The maximum
amounts outstanding were $320,000,000, $31,000,000 and $43,000,000 in 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The average amount outstanding was $38,228,000,
$2,299,000 and $9,380,000 during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The weighted
average interest rate in 1998, 1997 and 1996 was 6.0%, 5.9% and 6.4%
respectively, based upon average daily balances.
 
NOTE G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
 
     The Company has one principal Profit Sharing Retirement Plan ("PSRP") in
which eligible employees participate. Participants' interests vest 25% per year
in the third through sixth year of service. Participants also become fully
vested upon reaching age 59 1/2, permanent disability or death. Contributions
charged to income under the PSRP were $18,929,000, $10,167,000 and $23,355,000
for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
 
     The Company has an Employee Stock Retirement Plan ("ESRP"), formerly known
as the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, in which eligible employees participate.
Cash contributions to the ESRP are based upon amounts determined annually by the
Board of Directors and are allocated to participants' accounts based on their
annual compensation. The Company recognizes compensation expense as the fair
value of the Company common stock or cash in the year of contribution. The
vesting requirements for the ESRP are the same as the PSRP. Shares of Company
common stock distributed from the ESRP bear a limited put option that, if
exercised, would require the Company to repurchase the shares at their then
current fair value. At January 31, 1998, the ESRP held 15,681,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock and 30,000 shares of Class B Common Stock with a combined
fair value of $619,467,000. Contributions charged to income under the Plan were
$22,072,000, $29,492,000 and $10,259,000 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
 
     The Company has one principal Cash or Deferred Arrangement (CODA) which
allows eligible participants to defer a portion of their income through
contributions. Such deferrals are fully vested, are not taxable to the
participant until distributed from the CODA upon termination, retirement,
permanent disability or death and may be matched by the Company. The Company's
matching contributions to the CODA of $14,454,000, $9,567,000 and $11,535,000
were charged to income in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Effective January
1, 1995, the Company's matching contributions to employees hired on or after
such date are subject to the same vesting requirements as the PSRP, while the
Company's matching contributions for employees hired prior to such date remain
fully vested.
 
     In connection with the acquisition of Bellcore, the Company also sponsors
two contributory savings plans which allow eligible Bellcore employees to defer
a portion of their pre-tax income through contributions and contribute a portion
of their income on an after-tax basis. Such deferrals are fully vested, are not
taxable to the participant until distributed upon termination, retirement,
permanent disability or death and may be matched by the Company. The Company's
matching contributions charged to income were $2,800,000 in 1998.
 
     The Company has two principal bonus compensation plans, the Bonus
Compensation Plan and the Success Sharing Plan ("SSP"), which provide for
bonuses to reward outstanding performance. The SSP was assumed in connection
with the acquisition of Bellcore in 1998. Bonuses are paid in the form of cash,

vested shares of Class A Common Stock or vesting shares of Class A Common Stock.
Awards of vesting shares of Class A common stock vest at the rate of 20%, 20%,
20% and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively. The amounts
charged to income under these plans were $49,587,000, $32,359,000 and
$25,868,000 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
 
     The Company has a Stock Compensation Plan and Management Stock Compensation
Plan, together referred to as the "Stock Compensation Plans." The Stock
Compensation Plans provide for awards of share units to eligible employees,
which share units generally correspond to shares of Class A Common Stock which
are held in trust for the benefit of participants. Participants' interests in
these share units vest on a seven year schedule at the rate of one-third at the
end of each of the fifth, sixth and seventh years following the date of the
award. The fair market value of shares awarded under these plans are recorded as
unearned compensation which is included in stockholders' equity. The unearned
amounts are amortized to expense over the vesting period. The amounts charged to
income under these plans were $1,688,000, $1,282,000 and $686,000 for 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively.
 
     The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") which allows
eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock,
with the Company contributing currently 10% of the existing fair market value.
There are no charges to income under this plan. However, the proforma effect on
net income and earnings per share of compensation expense under SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" has been disclosed in Note L.
 
     The Company has two deferred compensation plans. The Keystaff Deferral Plan
is maintained for the benefit of key executives and directors, pursuant to which
eligible participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation. The
Company makes no contributions to the accounts of participants under this plan
but does credit participant accounts for deferred compensation amounts and
interest earned on such deferred compensation. Interest is accrued based on the
Moody's Seasoned Corporate Bond Rate (7.0% in 1998). Deferred balances will
generally be paid upon the later of the attainment of age 65, ten years of plan
participation or retirement, unless participants obtain approval for an early
pay-out. The Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan is maintained for the benefit of
directors and certain key executives. Eligible participants may elect to defer a
portion of their compensation into a trust established by the Company which
invests in shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company makes no contributions to
the accounts of participants. Deferred balances will generally be paid upon
retirement or termination.
 
NOTE H -- PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS:
 
     In connection with the acquisition of Bellcore, the Company assumed assets
and liabilities related to two noncontributory defined benefit pensions plans
covering eligible management and support staff employees of Bellcore. The
Company accounts for these benefit plans in accordance with SFAS No. 87,
"Employers' Accounting for Pensions" ("SFAS No. 87"). Benefits are based on a
stated percentage of final average pay formula for the management plan and a
flat-dollar amount per years of service for the support staff plan. All of the
assets of the plans, which are primarily equity and fixed income securities, are
held in a master trust administered by the Company. In general, the Company's
policy is to fund these plans based on legal requirements, tax considerations
and investment opportunities.

     In addition to assuming the assets and liabilities of the Bellcore pension
plans, the Company also assumed assets and liabilities for postretirement health
and life insurance benefits for retired U.S. employees and their dependents. The
Company accounts for these benefit plans in accordance with SFAS No. 106
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("SFAS
No. 106"). Plan assets are held in two Voluntary Employee Benefit Association
trusts. In general, the Company's policy is to annually contribute to the trusts
an amount determined by management, limited in part by tax limitations.

     The assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value of
projected benefit obligation were as follows: 5% graded weighted average annual
rate of increase in compensation levels, 7% discount rate and 8.2% long-term
weighted average rate of return on assets. The assumed health care trend rates
used to measure the expected cost of benefits covered by the plan was 8% in
1998. This rate is assumed to decrease  1/2% a year to 5% in 2004 and remain at
that level thereafter. A one-percentage point increase in the assumed health
care trend rates would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligations by $22,100,000 and the total of the service and interest cost
components of net postretirement benefits expense by $500,000.
 
     On January 2, 1997, approximately 1,500 employees transferred from PDVSA to
INTESA. Under Venezuelan law, INTESA assumed the existing employee benefit
plans, including a defined benefit pension plan. Under the terms of the joint
venture agreement, PDVSA agreed to fund the projected benefit obligation of the
pension plan and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of the
postretirement benefit plans over 10 years. The obligation of PDVSA to fund
these benefits has been reflected as a related party receivable and included in
other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The plans are
accounted for in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No.
106.
 
     Benefits are based upon years of service and compensation during the twelve
months of accredited service earned immediately before retirement. All of the
assets of the pension plan, receivable and cash, are not currently held in a
trust. PDVSA has agreed to fund this obligation by December 31, 2006 either
through direct payments to INTESA or direct contributions to a trust.
 
     Net pension expense consisted of the following:

     In addition to the pension benefits described above, certain postretirement
benefits were also transferred to INTESA for health and life insurance benefits
for the PDVSA employees who transferred to INTESA. Eligibility for the plans and
participant cost sharing is dependent upon the participant's age at retirement,
years of service and retirement date. The Company accounts for these benefit
plans in accordance with SFAS No. 106. The accrued postretirement benefits
liability and net postretirement benefits expense were $2,022,000 and $318,000,
respectively, as of and for the year ended January 31, 1998.

     In January 1998, the Company issued $100,000,000 of 6.75% notes ("6.75%
Notes") under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The 6.75% Notes are due February 1, 2008 with interest
payable semi-annually beginning August 1, 1998 and were issued with a nominal
discount. The Company used the proceeds to repay certain short-term
indebtedness, including obligations assumed in connection with the acquisition
of Bellcore and for general corporate purposes. The Company amortizes the note
discount, underwriter's fees and commissions and the loss on the forward
treasury lock agreement (Note A) to interest expense which results in an
effective interest rate of 8.3% over the term of the 6.75% Notes. The Company is
subject to certain restrictions such as limitations on liens, on sale and
leaseback transactions and on consolidation, merger, and sale of assets. As of
January 31, 1998, the Company was in compliance with the restrictions.
 
     During 1997, the Company assumed a $6,919,000 mortgage note in connection
with the purchase of land and a building. Terms of the note include quarterly
payments of principal and interest until December 2016. Interest is adjusted
annually and was 6.8% in 1998. Additionally, the Company has various other notes
payable with interest rates from 4.3% to 8.0% that are due over the next eleven
years.
 
     Maturities of long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligations, are as

     For 1998, 1997 and 1996, 22,000, 4,000 and 7,000 options outstanding were
not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price was
greater than the average market price of the common shares and their effect
would be antidilutive.
 
NOTE L -- COMMON STOCK AND OPTIONS:
 
     The Company has options outstanding under two stock option plans, the 1995
Stock Option Plan ("1995 Plan") and the 1992 Stock Option Plan ("1992 Plan").
Under the 1995 Plan and 1992 Plan, options are granted at prices not less than
the fair market value at the date of grant and for terms not greater than ten
years. Options granted under these two plans generally become exercisable 20%,
20%, 20%, and 40% after one, two, three and four years. No options have been
granted under the 1992 Plan after July 31, 1995, the date the 1992 plan
terminated. The Company makes no charge to income in connection with these
plans.
 
     If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the
fair value at the grant dates for stock option awards granted in 1998, 1997 and
1996 and for shares issued under the ESPP in 1998, consistent with the
methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income in 1998, 1997 and 1996 would
have been reduced by $10,328,000, $4,797,000 and $2,273,000, respectively. Basic
earnings per share would have been reduced by $.20, $.10 and $.05 per share in
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and diluted earnings per share would have
been reduced by $.17, $.08 and $.04 per share in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. These amounts were determined using weighted-average per share
fair values of options granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996 of $7.88, $5.30 and $4.59,
respectively. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions for 1998, 1997 and 1996; no dividend yield, no volatility, risk free
interest rates ranging from 5.3% to 9.3% and expected lives of five years.
 
     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. The Company meets the definition of a non-public company for the
purposes of calculating fair value and, therefore, assumes no volatility in the
fair value calculation. Because the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because
changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimates, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock-based
compensation plans.

          of the Company to be the chief executive officer of the Company, then
          the person designated as such chief executive officer shall be deemed
          to be the President for the purposes of the Plan.

2.23      President's Bonus Fund. "President's Bonus Fund" means that portion of

          by the President in regard to any Performance Year as provided in

                                   SECTION III

                               COMPANY BONUS FUND

3.01      Company Bonus Fund. The Company Bonus Fund for each Performance Year
          shall be an amount not in excess of 7% of Eligible Compensation for
          such Performance Year and shall be the aggregate of the Group Bonus
          Funds, the President's Bonus Fund and any additional funds allocated
          from Profit as the Operating Committee shall determine. The Board of
          Directors shall have the authority to change the percentage of
          Eligible Compensation which shall be used to determine the maximum
          amount of the Company Bonus Fund from time to time.

3.02      Composition of Company Bonus Fund. The Company Bonus Fund shall be
          comprised of the aggregate of the Group Bonus Funds and the
          President's Bonus Fund. The Group Bonus Funds shall constitute 70% of
          the Company Bonus Fund and the President's Bonus Fund shall constitute
          30% of the Company Bonus Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
          President's Bonus Fund may be increased by any additional funds
          allocated from Profit as the Operating Committee shall determine.

4.01      General Policy. The determination of the amount and distribution of
          the Group Bonus Fund is intended to reflect and reward the performance
          of each of the Company's various Groups as well as the overall
          performance of the Company. As an aide in accomplishing this aim, a
          Group Bonus Formula shall be used to determine the amount of each
          Group's Group Bonus Fund for each Performance Year. The amount of the
          Group Bonus Fund as calculated pursuant to the Group Bonus Formula is
          intended merely to provide a guide in determining the amount of the
          Group Bonus Fund actually established for each Group for each
          Performance Year. The Committee shall have the authority to establish
          for each Group the actual amount of that Group's Group Bonus Fund
          which amount may be equal to, in excess of or less than the amount of
          the Group Bonus Fund which would be determined under the Group Bonus
          Formula. In exercising this discretion, the Committee shall consider,
          among other things, the Company's overall financial performance, and
          other special situations in the Performance Year.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
4.02      Group Bonus Formula. The Group Bonus Formula is intended to reflect
          the following criteria: (i) a minimum Group Bonus Fund for each Group
          so that individual performance within the Group may be rewarded
          notwithstanding the Group's overall performance; (ii) a maximum amount
          of Group Bonus Fund for each Group so as to avoid an inordinate drain
          on the Company's profit; (iii) a provision for awarding bonuses to a
          Group for Group Profit exceeding 3% of Group Revenue while providing
          greater incentive for Group Profit exceeding 6% of Group Revenue; (iv)
          a procedure for an automatic adjustment to reflect the Bonus
          Compensation Rate negotiated as an element of the Company's Fringe
          Rate Agreement with the Federal Government; and (v) a procedure for
          relating each Group's Group Bonus Fund to such Group's Group Planned
          Financial Performance. Accordingly, the Group Bonus Formula is
          expressed as follows:

          B = .0238L + .3 {R(P/R - .06)} when P >= .06R and B <= .061L

          B = .01L {1 + 46(P/R - .03)} when .03R >= P < .06R

          B = .01L when P < .03R

          where: B represents the Group Bonus Fund, L represents Group Labor
          Dollars, P represents Group Profits, and R represents Group Revenues.
          The minimum Group Bonus Fund is represented by 1% of Group Labor
          Dollars and the maximum Group Bonus Fund is represented by 6.1% of
          Group Labor Dollars. An illustration of the application of the Group
          Bonus Formula assuming various Group Profits ranging from 3% through
          12% of Group Revenue is attached as Table I and Table II to the Plan.
          If, at the beginning of any Performance Year, the Bonus Compensation
          Rate, the Fringe Rate, or the Group Planned Profit Rate change, then
          the numerical coefficients set forth in the Group Bonus Formula may be
          adjusted so that the aggregate Group Bonus Funds do not exceed the
          amount permitted under the Company Bonus Fund.


                                    SECTION V

                             PRESIDENT'S BONUS FUND

5.01      Purpose of President's Bonus Fund. The President's Bonus Fund is
          primarily intended to provide awards to deserving Participants (i) in
          the Company's top level of management, (ii) engaged in Corporate
          Development activities, (iii) serving in the Office of the President,
          and (iv) serving in Corporate Administration. The President's Bonus
          Fund may also be utilized to provide bonus awards to especially
          deserving Participants who are not otherwise rewarded, to encourage
          stock redistribution, to


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
          correct any inequities in the amount of the Group Bonus Funds of the
          various Groups, or for other special awards.

5.02      Amount of President's Bonus Fund. The President's Bonus Fund for any
          Performance Year is determined indirectly as a function of the
          aggregate amount of the Group Bonus Funds for the Performance Year.
          The President's Bonus Fund shall be an amount equal to 30% of the
          Company Bonus Fund with the aggregate of the Group Bonus Funds to be
          an amount equal to 70% of the Company Bonus Fund. Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, the President's Bonus Fund may be increased by any
          additional funds allocated from Profit as the Operating Committee
          shall determine.


                                   SECTION VI

                       DISTRIBUTION OF COMPANY BONUS FUND

6.01      Group Bonus Fund Recommendations. Within 45 days following the end of
          the Performance Year and/or from time to time during the Performance
          Year, each Group Manager shall submit to the Committee written
          recommendations for the payment of bonuses to members of that Group
          Manager's Group out of the Group's Group Bonus Fund. The total amount
          of such bonus recommendations shall be based upon application of the
          Group Bonus Formula to the Company's financial statements for the
          Performance Year.

6.02      President's Bonus Fund Recommendations. Within 45 days following the
          end of the Performance Year and/or from time to time during the
          Performance Year, the President shall submit to the Committee written
          recommendations for the payment of bonuses to Participants who are to
          receive bonuses paid out of the President's Bonus Fund.

6.03      Internal Group Administration. Each Group Manager shall be responsible
          for the implementation and operation of the Plan within that Group
          Manager's Group. The method of such implementation and operation
          within the Group is not prescribed by the Plan. The Group Manager may
          implement the distribution of payments under the Plan within the Group
          to meet the business goals of that Group; however, the total bonuses
          payable within the Group must be made within the limitations set forth
          in the Plan. If a Group Manager elects to apply the Group Bonus
          Formula or a similar formula to the administration of the Plan within
          the Group so as to allocate the Group's Group Bonus Fund between
          different divisions, operations or other identifiable entities within
          the Group, consideration must be given to the overhead rate
          differentials between those entities due to the allocation of
          management and administration overhead. Consideration must also be
          given to the need to reward individuals for technical performance for
          work unrelated to financial performance.


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
6.04      Approvals. All individual bonuses to be awarded from the Group Bonus
          Fund must be recommended in writing by the Group Manager to the
          Committee and all individual bonuses to be awarded out of the
          President's Bonus Fund must be in writing from the President to the
          Committee. The Committee must approve all individual bonuses awarded
          out of the Group Bonus Fund and the President's Bonus Fund except that
          any bonus payable to the President must be approved by the Board of
          Directors and any bonus payable to the other Committee members must be
          approved by the President. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no member of
          the Committee shall be eligible to receive a bonus that is payable in
          Common Stock. No individual shall be advised of a bonus recommendation
          until such bonus shall have been approved by the Group Manager or the
          President, as appropriate, and the Committee.

6.05      Recommendation Format. Written bonus recommendations submitted by the
          Group Manager or the President to the Committee may be in memorandum
          form or on an appropriate recommendation form as prescribed by the
          Committee from time to time.


                                   SECTION VII

                                  SPOT BONUSES

7.01      Spot Bonus Awards. Spot Bonuses may be awarded under the Plan at any
          time. Spot Bonuses shall be awarded by the Group Manager or the
          President (i) to reward extraordinary effort or special achievement
          for which the timeliness of the award is particularly important, (ii)
          are payable in cash only and in amounts of $1,000 or less, (iii) are
          normally deliverable within one week, and (iv) require the prior
          written approval of only the Group Manager in regard to Spot Bonuses
          to be payable to a Participant in the Group Manager's Group or by the
          President in regard to Spot Bonuses to be payable to any other
          Participant. The award of a Spot Bonus by the Group Manager or the
          President will be subsequently reviewed by the Committee.

7.02      Accounting for Spot Bonuses. Spot Bonuses paid during the Performance
          Year will be charged to the Group's 1% minimum Group Bonus Fund or the
          President's Bonus Fund, as appropriate, for the Performance Year.


                                  SECTION VIII

          following the date of approval of such Spot Bonus by the Group Manager
          or the President.

8.02      Form of Payment. Bonuses awarded under the Plan, except for Spot
          Bonuses, shall be payable in cash or Common Stock or a combination of
          cash and Common Stock within the sole discretion of the Committee.

8.03      Stock Restriction Agreement. To the extent that any bonus awarded
          under the Plan is paid in Common Stock, as a condition to the receipt
          of such bonus, the Participant shall be required to execute and
          deliver a stock restriction agreement in such form and upon such terms
          and conditions, including, but not limited to, the granting of a right
          of first refusal to the Company regarding such Common Stock and a
          right on the part of the Company to repurchase such Common Stock from
          the Participant upon the Participant's termination of affiliation with
          the Company, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall deem
          appropriate.

8.04      Forfeiture of Shares. To the extent that any bonus awarded under the
          Plan is paid in shares of Common Stock, such shares may be issued
          subject to forfeiture, in whole or in part, in accordance with a
          vesting schedule which the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
          establish.

8.05      Valuing Common Stock. To the extent that bonuses awarded under the
          Plan are paid in Common Stock, the per share value of such Common
          Stock shall be based upon the Formula Price for the Common Stock in
          effect at the time the bonus is awarded. The bonus will be deemed to
          have been awarded on the date the Committee approves the granting of
          the bonus.

8.06      Individual Bonus Awards. Any bonus award to a Participant with respect
          to a Performance Year, other than a Spot Bonus, shall generally be
          made within the following guidelines.

          (c)       Approve the amount of bonuses to be awarded to any

11.01     Certain Conditions and Limitations. The award of a bonus under the
          Plan may be effected only if the Committee determines that the award
          or the payment of such award complies with applicable securities and
          other laws. The Company may, but shall not be required to, register or
          qualify under applicable securities laws, at the Company's expense,

11.02     Other Compensation or Incentive Arrangements. The Plan is not intended

          the Company or any other plan, practice, or arrangement for the

          limitation, commissions, prizes, production or similar bonuses,
          retirement, profit sharing, group insurance, stock purchase or stock

          hereafter be in effect for employees generally or any group or class
          of employees or employee, and any such plan, practice or arrangement
          may be continued or authorized and payments thereunder made
          independently of the Plan.

11.03     Continuation of Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan, or in the
          award of any bonus pursuant to the Plan, shall confer upon any
          employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
          interfere in any way with the right of the Company to reduce such
          employee's compensation from the rate in existence at the time of the
          granting of a bonus under the Plan.

11.04     No Vested Interest in the Plan. No Participant nor any employee of the
          Company, nor any person claiming under or through any of them, nor any
          other person, shall have any right or interest, whether vested or
          otherwise, in the Plan or its continuance, or in or to the payment of

          or any rules and regulations of the Committee thereunder and of any
          instrument executed pursuant thereto affecting such award and its
          payment, shall be fully complied with as specifically provided in the
          Plan and the rules and regulations of the Committee thereunder. No
          rights under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, shall be assignable or

<PAGE>   11
11.05     Issuance of Common Stock. Any shares of Common Stock as payment, in
          whole or in part, of any bonus awarded under the Plan may be purchased
          by the Company in the limited internal market established and
          maintained by the Company or may be issued from the treasury stock of
          the Company or from the authorized but unissued Common Stock of the
          Company.

11.06     Non-Transferability. Except as specifically provided in the Plan, no
          interest in or payment under the Plan shall be transferable by the
          Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and
          distribution.

11.07     Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any
          payment of bonuses awarded under the Plan or from any other
          compensation payable to the Participant receiving such bonus, any sums
          required by Federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with

3.    ADMINISTRATION

      (a)   The Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee which
shall consist of not less than two directors appointed by the Board, each of
whom shall satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3, as amended, of the Exchange
Act. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination
in respect thereto, if made in good faith. The Committee may appoint a separate
committee with respect to Optionees who are not subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act.

      (b)   Powers of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion and on behalf of the
Company:

            (i)   to grant Options;

            (ii)  to determine the Exercise Price per share of Options to be
      granted;

            (iii) to determine the individuals to whom, and the time or times at
      which, Options shall be granted and the number of shares for which an
      Option will be exercisable;

<PAGE>   3
            (ix)  to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable
      for the administration of the Plan.

      (c)   Committee Discretion. In exercising its authority, the Committee
shall have the broadest possible discretion and the Committee's determinations
under the Plan made in good faith shall be binding and conclusive on Optionees
and other persons claiming entitlements under the Plan. In no event shall a
Committee determination with respect to a particular Optionee or provision of
the Plan be binding with respect to any other Optionee (even if similarly
situated) nor with respect to any future determinations regarding the same or
other provisions of the Plan.

4.    ELIGIBILITY

      The individuals who shall be eligible to participate in the Plan and to
receive Options hereunder shall be such key employees, directors and consultants
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Committee shall from time to time
determine. The Committee may designate one or more directors who are not
eligible for participation in the Plan for a specified period of time. No Option
shall be granted to any person who, at the time the Option is granted, owns
(including stock owned by application of the constructive ownership rules of
Section 425(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary.

5.    STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

      Options may be granted permitting the purchase of the aggregate of not
more than 12,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 10 hereof. These shares may consist either in whole or in
part of shares of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock or shares
of the Company's authorized and issued Common Stock reacquired by the Company
and held in its treasury. If an Option granted under this Plan is surrendered,
expires or for any other reason ceases to be exercisable in whole or in part,
the shares which were subject to any such Option but as to which the Option
ceases to be exercisable shall be available for Options to be granted under the
Plan.

6.    STOCK OPTIONS

      (a)   Non-Qualified Options. The Options granted pursuant to the Plan
shall be non-qualified stock options and specifically not incentive stock
options as that term is used in the Code.

      (b)   Option Agreements. Options shall be evidenced by written option
agreements between the Optionee and the Company in such form as the Committee
shall from time to time determine. No Option or purported Option shall be a
valid and binding obligation of the Company unless previously granted by the
Committee and evidenced in writing by such an option agreement. Appropriate
officers of the Company are hereby authorized to execute and deliver option
agreements in the name of the Company, as directed from time to time by the
Committee.


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
      (c)   Exercise Price. The Exercise Price at which Options may be granted
under the Plan shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the day the Option is granted, but may be
less than the Exercise Price or Prices of previously granted Options, whether in
effect, canceled or expired. As long as the Company's Common Stock is not listed
on any national securities exchange or traded on a regular basis (as determined
by the Company's Board or a Committee of the Board to which the Board has
delegated the authority to make such determination) on the over-the-counter
market, fair market value may be taken as the Formula Price as in effect at the
date of grant.

      (d)   Date of Grant. The Committee shall, after it approves the granting
of an Option to a participant, cause the participant to be notified of such
action. The date on which the Committee approves the granting of an Option shall
be considered the date on which such Option is granted.

      (e)   Terms of Exercise. The right to purchase shares covered by any
Option or Options under the Plan shall be exercisable only in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the grant to such Optionee. The Committee may, in
its discretion, provide that such Option or Options may be exercised in whole or
in part in installments, cumulative or otherwise, for any period or periods of
time specified by the Committee of not more than ten years from the date of the
grant of the Option. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9, that portion of
an Option which is exercisable or an installment basis may not be exercised
prior to the expiration of the applicable installment period.

      (f)   Non-Transferability. An Option granted under the Plan may not be
transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during
the lifetime of the Optionee to whom granted, may be exercised only by such
Optionee or his conservator or other legal representative.

7.    EXPIRATION AND TERMINATION

      (a)   Expiration of Option. Each Option and all rights and obligations
thereunder shall, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9, expire on a date to
be determined by the Committee, such date, however, in no event to be later than
ten (10) years from the date an Option is granted.

      (b)   Termination of Employment or Affiliation. Subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 9, that portion of an Option which is exercisable on an installment
basis may not be exercised unless the Optionee shall continue in the employ or
affiliation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the entire period
to which such installment relates. Except as set forth below in Paragraphs 7(c)
through (e) or otherwise set forth in an option agreement, all Options granted
to an Optionee under this Plan shall terminate and no longer be exercisable as
of the date such Optionee ceases to be employed or affiliated with the Company
or any Subsidiary; provided, however, the Committee in its discretion may extend
the period of time that such Optionee may exercise such Optionee's Options, but
in no event may the Committee extend such period of time


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
beyond the expiration date of the Options or beyond ten (10) years from the date
of grant of such Options.

      (c)   Termination Due to Retirement or Permanent Total Disability. In the
event an Employee/Optionee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary shall
terminate as the result of normal retirement, permanent total disability or
early retirement under the terms of a retirement or pension plan maintained by
the Company and in which such Employee/Optionee is a participant, such
Employee/Optionee may, at any time within ninety (90) days after such
termination of employment, exercise such Employee/Optionee's Options to the
extent that the Employee/Optionee was entitled to exercise them on the date of
such termination of employment, unless such Options would expire pursuant to
their terms at an earlier date, in which case such Options shall remain
exercisable only until the earlier expiration date.

      (d)   Death. If an Optionee dies while in the employ or affiliation of the
Company or of a Subsidiary without having fully exercised such Optionee's
Options, such Options may, within one (1) year of the Optionee's death (or
within such shorter period as may be specified in the Option by the Committee),
be exercised by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the
Option shall pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution
to the extent that such deceased Optionee was entitled to exercise the Options
on the date of death, unless such Options would expire pursuant to their terms
at an earlier date, in which case such Options shall remain exercisable only
until the earlier expiration date.

      (e)   Leaves of Absence. An Employee/Optionee who is on a leave of absence
pursuant to the terms of the Company's Administrative Policy No. B-11 "Unpaid
Personal Leave of Absence" or any amended or replacement policy thereof, shall
not, during the period of any such absence be deemed, by virtue of such absence
alone, to have terminated such Employee/Optionee's employment with the Company
or any Subsidiary except as the Committee may otherwise expressly provide.
Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, unless such Employee/Optionee
is on a Medical Leave (as hereinafter defined), all rights which such
Employee/Optionee would have had to exercise Options granted hereunder will be
suspended during the period of such leave of absence. Upon such
Employee/Optionee's return to the Company or any Subsidiary all rights to
exercise Options shall be restored to the extent such Options are exercisable at
that time. The Committee in its discretion may permit the exercise, while on a
leave of absence, of Options which would otherwise expire or may defer the
expiration date of such Options, but not beyond ten (10) years from their date
of grant. An Employee/Optionee who is on a Medical Leave shall have all rights
to exercise such Employee/Optionee's Options that such Employee/Optionee would
have had if such Employee/Optionee were not on a Medical Leave. For purposes of
this Paragraph 7(e), "Medical Leave" shall be defined as a leave of absence for
medical reasons which shall begin after ninety-one (91) consecutive calendar
days of total disability leave and shall remain in effect until the earlier of a
release by the attending physician for the Employee/Optionee to return to work
or until the termination of employment.

<PAGE>   6
8.    EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

      (a)   The Purchase Price shall be paid in full when the Option is
exercised. The Purchase Price may be paid in whole or in part in (i) cash or
(ii) whole shares of Common Stock of the Company evidenced by negotiable
certificates, valued at the Formula Price in effect on the date of exercise;
provided, however, that unless an exception is granted by the Secretary of this
Corporation, shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired through the exercise
of a stock option must have been owned by the Optionee for at least six months
before such shares of Common Stock may be used to pay the Purchase Price. The
Company or any Subsidiary shall be entitled to deduct from other compensation
payable to each Optionee any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to
be withheld with respect to the exercise of an Option but, in the alternative,
may require the Optionee or other person exercising the Option to pay, or the
Optionee or such other persons may pay, such sums to the employer corporation at
the time of such exercise. The Committee shall have the authority in its
discretion to allow withholding on exercise of an Option to be satisfied by
withholding from the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Option a
number of shares, valued at the Formula Price in effect on the date of exercise
of the Option, equal in value to the withholding requirement.

      (b)   An Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company
with respect to any shares for which his or her Option is exercised until the
date of exercise of such Option and the issuance of a stock certificate for such
shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends, ordinary or extraordinary or
whether in currency, securities or other property, distributions, or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is
issued.

9.    CHANGE IN CONTROL

      Notwithstanding any provision of Paragraph 7 above to the contrary, any
Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall, in the case of a Change In Control
(as hereinafter defined) of the Company, become fully exercisable as to all
shares of Common Stock to which it relates from and after the date of such
Change In Control. For purposes of this Paragraph 9, the term "Change in
Control" shall be deemed to occur upon any "person" (as defined in Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or any Subsidiary or employee
benefit plan or trust maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, becoming the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly
or indirectly, of more than 25% of the Common Stock of the Company outstanding
at such time, without the prior approval of the Board.

10.   CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

      The aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to
this Plan, the maximum number of shares as to which Options may be granted to
any one Optionee hereunder, and the number of shares and the Exercise Price
shall be appropriately adjusted, as determined by the Committee in its
discretion, for any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Company has issued resulting from any stock split, stock dividend,
combination


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
of shares or any other change, or any exchange for other securities or any
reclassification, reorganization, redesignation, recapitalization, or otherwise.

11.   NO EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION

      An Employee/Optionee's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is not
for any specified term and may be terminated by such Employee/Optionee or by the
Company or a Subsidiary at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.
Nothing in this Plan or in any option agreement pursuant to this Plan shall
confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation
with, the Company or a Subsidiary nor constitute any promise or commitment by
the Company or a Subsidiary regarding future positions, future work assignments,
future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation.

12.   GOVERNMENT AND STOCK EXCHANGE REGULATIONS

      The Company shall not be required to issue any shares upon the exercise of

                                   ARTICLE II

                            PARTICIPATION AND AWARDS

      2.1   Designation by Awarding Authority. The Awarding Authority in its
sole discretion shall designate those Employees who are to receive Awards under
the Plan. The Awarding Authority's designation of an Employee for a particular
Award shall not require the Awarding Authority to make any further Awards to
such Employee.

      2.2   Awarding Authority to Make Awards. The Awarding Authority shall make
Awards under the Plan by determining a number of Share Units to be credited to
those Employees whom the Awarding Authority has selected for participation in
the Plan corresponding to a specified number of shares of Company Stock
allocated in the Trust to such Employees, and by establishing an Account in
favor of such Employees in accordance with Article IV to hold such Share Units.
A separate Account shall be established for each Award. Each Account shall be
subject to a vesting schedule specified by the Awarding Authority. The amount,
timing and vesting of each Award shall be decided in the Awarding Authority's
sole discretion, and the Awarding Authority may apply different terms to Awards
made to different Employees as well as to different Awards made to the same
Employee.

      2.3   Awards to be Held in Trust. Within a reasonable period of time
following the date of an Award, SAIC shall contribute to the Trust Company Stock
or an amount of money sufficient


                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   6
to purchase shares of Company Stock corresponding to the Share Units made in
such Award. The Trustee shall apply such contribution toward the purchase of
Company Stock in accordance with the directions of the Committee and the terms
of the Trust. To the extent any such Award is made to an Employee of an
affiliate of SAIC, SAIC may charge the cost of the corresponding Trust
contribution to such affiliate as agreed between SAIC and the affiliate.

      2.4   Vesting and Forfeiture. Each Account shall be subject to a vesting
schedule, not to exceed seven (7) years, established by the Awarding Authority.
Vesting shall cease upon termination of the Participant's employment with the
Company for any reason other than the death of the Participant. For purposes of
the Plan, an Employee's leave of absence exceeding thirty (30) days other than
(i) a leave of absence caused by the Employee's disability, as defined under the
terms of any of the Company's short-term or long-term disability plans, (ii) a
qualified military leave as determined by the Committee, or (iii) a family or
medical leave covered by federal or state family/medical leave acts, shall be
considered a termination of employment effective on the thirtieth day of such
leave of absence. An Employee's change in status to that of consulting employee
shall also be considered a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan.
Further, an Employee's change in status to a part-time Employee, which status
exists for an aggregate period or periods (whether or not consecutive) of six
months, shall be considered a termination of employment as of the end of such
six-month period. For this purpose "part-time Employee" shall mean an Employee
whose scheduled work week is less than 30 hours. In the event of death of a
Participant, all of the Participant's Account(s) shall become immediately
vested. The unvested portion of a Participant's Accounts upon a termination of
employment shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant, and the shares of
Company Stock represented by such unvested portion shall be returned to the
Company or reallocated in accordance with the Committee's directions and the
terms of the Trust.


                                   ARTICLE III

                                   TRUST FUND

      3.1   Trust Fund Established. The Company has established the Trust
pursuant to a trust agreement under which the Trustee will hold and administer
in trust all assets deposited with the Trustee in accordance with the terms of
this Plan. The Board shall have the authority to select and remove the Trustee
to act under the Trust agreement, and to enter into new or amended trust
agreements as it deems advisable.

      3.2   Company, Committee and Trustee Not Responsible for Adequacy of Trust
Fund. Neither the Company, Committee nor Trustee shall be liable or responsible
for the adequacy of the Trust Fund to meet and discharge any or all payments and
liabilities hereunder. All Plan benefits will be paid only from the Trust
assets, and neither the Company, the Committee nor the Trustee shall have any
duty or liability to furnish the Trust with any funds, securities or other
assets except as expressly provided in Section 2.3 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES

      4.1   Committee to Maintain Accounts. The Committee shall open and
maintain a separate Account with respect to each Award made under the Plan for
purposes of keeping a record of the assets held in Trust for each Participant
and for recording the vesting status of each Award.

      4.2   Accounting Procedures. The Committee shall establish and may amend
from time to time accounting procedures for the purpose of making allocations,
Distributions, valuations and adjustments to Accounts provided for in this
Article IV. A Participant or Beneficiary shall have no contractual or other
right to have a particular accounting procedure or convention apply, or continue
to apply, and the Committee shall be free to alter any such procedure or
convention without obligation to any Participant or Beneficiary.

      4.3   Invasion of Trust by Creditors. If assets of the Trust should be
reduced due to action of the Company's Creditors, as provided in the Trust
document, the Committee shall reduce each Account on a pro rata basis to reflect
such reduction in Trust assets, and the Company shall have no obligation to
replace such lost assets.

      4.4   Trust Expenses. Expenses of the Trust which are not paid by the
Company shall be applied to reduce each Account on a pro rata basis.


                                    ARTICLE V

                            RIGHTS IN ACQUIRED STOCK

      5.1   Power to Vote Stock Rests With Trustee. The power to vote any stock
held by the Trustee shall rest solely with the Trustee, who shall vote such
stock in the same proportion that the other shareholders vote their shares of
Company Stock. For purposes of this Section 5.1, Company Stock shall include
both Class A and Class B Common Stock.

      5.2   Tender Offers. In the case of a tender offer for the Company Stock,
the Trustee shall tender the shares of Company Stock held by the Trust only if
more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Company Stock held outside the
Trust are tendered by the shareholders.

      5.3   Dividends. All dividends on Company Stock held in Trust shall be
held by the Trustee and reinvested as directed by the Committee. The Committee
shall allocate such dividends among the Accounts pro rata to the shares
allocated to each Account.

<PAGE>   8
                                   ARTICLE VI

                            DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS

      6.1   Time of Distribution. Subject to the acceleration provisions of
Article VII, a Participant's Account shall be Distributed as follows:

            (a)   If the Participant files an election in a manner prescribed by
the Committee within ninety (90) days following the date of the Award contained
in the Account, the Participant's Account shall be distributed as it becomes
vested, with each payment to be made within a reasonable period of time
following the date of vesting of the portion of the Account to be paid.

            (b)   If the Participant fails to make the election described in
subsection (a), the Participant's Account shall be distributed in full within a
reasonable period of time following the seventh anniversary of the date of the
Award contained in such Account.

      6.2   Form of Distribution. Distributions shall be made in the form of
Company Stock or cash, or part Company Stock and part cash, as the Committee
shall determine in its sole discretion.

      6.3   Beneficiary Designation.

            (a)   Upon forms provided by the Committee, each Participant shall
designate in writing the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries whom such Participant
desires to receive the benefits of this Plan, if any, payable in the event of
such Participant's death. A Participant may from time to time change his or her
designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries without the consent of such Beneficiary
or Beneficiaries by filing a new designation in writing with the Committee;
provided, however, that if a married Participant wishes to designate an
individual other than his or her spouse as Beneficiary, such designation shall
not be effective unless consented to in writing by the spouse. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, spousal consent shall not be necessary if it is established to
the satisfaction of the Committee that there is no spouse of the Participant or
that the required consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be
located or is legally incompetent. The Company may rely upon the designation of
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries last filed by the Participant in accordance with
the terms of this Plan.

            (b)   If the designated Beneficiary does not survive the
Participant, or if there is no valid Beneficiary designation, amounts payable
under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's spouse, or if there is no
surviving spouse, then to the duly appointed and currently acting personal
representative of the Participant's estate. If there is no personal
representative of the Participant's estate duly appointed and acting in that
capacity within sixty (60) days after the Participant's death, then all payments
due under the Plan shall be payable to the person or persons who can verify by
affidavit or court order to the satisfaction of the Committee that they are
legally entitled to receive


                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   9
the benefits specified hereunder pursuant to the laws of intestate succession or
other statutory provision in effect at the Participant's death in the state in
which the Participant resided.

      6.4   Distribution to Guardian. If the Committee shall find that any
person to whom any payment is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his
or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, a payment due
(unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian
or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or
a brother or sister, or to any custodian, conservator or other fiduciary
responsible for the management and control of such person's financial affairs in
such manner and proportions as the Committee may determine. Any such payment
shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Trust under this Plan.

      6.5   Withholding of Taxes. To the extent any Distribution from the Trust
is subject to withholding taxes, the Committee may require, as a condition to
the payment of such Distribution, that the Participant or Beneficiary who is
eligible for the Distribution:

            (a)   make payment to the Company in the form of a check for such
withholding taxes; or

            (b)   consent to the withholding of shares of Company Stock by the
Trustee sufficient in value to satisfy such withholding taxes, in which case
such shares shall be delivered to the Company which shall make the appropriate
tax withholding.

The Committee may offer either or both of these options to the Participant or
Beneficiary in the Committee's sole discretion.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                    ACCELERATION OF DISTRIBUTION AND VESTING

      7.1   Termination of Employment or Death. Unless sooner distributed in
accordance with Section 6.1, the vested portion of a Participant's Accounts
shall be distributed from the Trust as soon as practicable following termination
of the Participant's employment with the Company for any reason, including
death. Termination of employment shall include certain leaves of absence and
changes in status as specified in Section 2.4. The Participant and Beneficiary
shall forfeit any unvested portion of the Accounts at the time of such
termination or death.

      7.2   Change in Control. Every Account shall become fully vested and shall
be immediately distributed to the Participants to whom such Accounts belong,
upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the
Company. A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur upon any "person" (as
defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than
the Company, any subsidiary or any employee benefit plan or trust maintained by
the Company or subsidiary becoming the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the


                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   10
Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of
the Company Stock outstanding at such time, without the prior approval of the
Board. For purposes of the foregoing, a subsidiary is any corporation in an
unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if each of the
corporations, other than the last corporation in such chain, owns at least fifty
percent (50%) of the total voting power in one of the other corporations in such
chain.

      7.3   Hardship. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof, a
Participant shall be entitled to request a hardship Distribution of all or any
portion of the vested portion of his or her Account(s). A Participant must make
a written request for a hardship Distribution, stating the reasons such
withdrawal is necessary because of a financial hardship. The Committee, in its
sole discretion, shall determine whether or not to grant the hardship
Distribution of such Participant's Account(s) and, in so doing, may rely on the
Participant's statements, and a hardship Distribution may be approved without
further investigation unless the Committee has reason to believe such statements
are false.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                         PLAN TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

      8.1   Termination and Amendments. The Plan shall continue until all
amounts have been distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Board retains the right to amend or
terminate the Plan for any reason, including but not limited to adverse changes
in accounting rules or tax laws or the bankruptcy, receivership or dissolution
of the Company. In the event of a Plan amendment or termination, benefits will
either be paid out when due under the terms of the Plan or as soon as possible
as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. To the extent feasible,
the Committee shall use its best efforts to avoid adversely affecting the rights
of any existing Participants in the Plan, but the Committee shall be under no
specific duty or obligation in this regard.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                               PLAN ADMINISTRATION

      9.1   Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject
to the provisions of the Plan and the authority granted hereunder to the
Awarding Authority, the Committee shall have exclusive power to determine the
manner and time of Awards and payment of benefits to the extent herein provided
and to exercise any other discretionary powers granted to the Committee pursuant
to the Plan. The decisions or determinations by the Committee shall be final and
binding upon all parties, including shareholders, Participants and other
Employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall

for purposes of the Plan's vesting


                                     - 7 -

and forfeiture provisions, and such determinations need not be uniformly applied
as among Employees. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret the
Plan, to make factual findings and determinations, to adopt and revise rules and
regulations relating to the Plan and to make any other determinations which it
believes necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The
Committee's discretion in these matters shall be as broad and unfettered as
permitted by law.

      9.2   Committee Powers. The Committee shall have all powers necessary to
supervise the administration of the Plan and control its operations. In addition
to any powers and authority conferred on the Committee elsewhere in the Plan or
by law, the Committee shall have, by way of illustration and not by way of
limitation, the following powers and authority:

            (a)   To designate agents to carry out responsibilities relating to
the Plan;

            (b)   To employ such legal, actuarial, medical, accounting, clerical
and other assistance as it may deem appropriate in carrying out the provisions
of this Plan;

            (c)   To administer, interpret, construe and apply this Plan and to
decide all questions which may arise or which may be raised under this Plan by
any Employee, Participant, Beneficiary or other person whomsoever, including but
not limited to all questions relating to eligibility to participate in the Plan,
determination of Awards and the amount of benefits to which any Participant may
be entitled;

            (d)   To establish rules and procedures from time to time for the
conduct of its business and for the administration and effectuation of its
responsibilities under the Plan;

            (e)   To establish claims procedures, and to make forms available
for filing of such claims, and to provide the name of the person or persons with
whom such claims should be filed. The Committee shall establish procedures for
action upon claims initially made and the communication of a decision to the
claimant promptly and, in any event, not later than sixty (60) days after the
date of the claim; the claim may be deemed by the claimant to have been denied
for purposes of further review described below in the event a written decision
is not furnished to the claimant within such sixty (60) day period. Every claim
for benefits which is denied shall be denied by written notice setting forth in
a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (1) the specific reason or
reasons for the denial, (2) specific reference to any provisions of this Plan on
which denial is based, (3) description of any additional material or information
necessary for the claimant to perfect his claim with an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary, and (4) an explanation of the procedure
for further reviewing the denial of the claim under the Plan. The Committee
shall establish a procedure for review of claim denials, such review to be
undertaken by the Committee. The review given after denial of any claim shall be
a full and fair review with the claimant or his duly authorized representative
having one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of denial of his claim to
request such review, having the right to review all pertinent documents and the
right to submit issues and comments in writing. The Committee shall establish a
procedure for issuance of a decision by the Committee not later than


                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   12
sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for review from a claimant unless
special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require a longer
period of time, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible
but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the claimant's
request for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include
specific reasons for the decision written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant with specific reference to any provisions of this
Plan on which the decision is based; and

            (f)   To perform or cause to be performed such further acts as it
may deem to be necessary, appropriate, or convenient in the efficient
administration of the Plan.

            Any action taken in good faith by the Committee in the exercise of
authority conferred upon it by this Plan shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Participants and their beneficiaries. All discretionary powers conferred
upon the Committee shall be absolute.

      9.3   Plan Expenses. Members of the Committee shall serve as such without
compensation from the Plan, but may receive compensation from the Company for so
serving. All Plan administration expenses shall be borne by the Company or the
Trust as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

      9.4   Reliance Upon Documents and Opinions.

            (a)   The members of the Committee, the Board, and the Company shall
be entitled to rely upon any:

                  (i)   Tables, valuations, computations, estimates,
certificates, opinions and reports furnished by any consultant, or firm or
corporation which employs one or more consultants or advisors; and

                  (ii)  Computations, estimates and reports furnished by any
consultants or consulting firms.

            (b)   The members of the Committee, the Board, and the Company shall
be fully protected and shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for anything
done or action taken or suffered in reliance upon any such consultant, firm, or
corporation which employs one or more consultants or counsel.

            (c)   Any and all such things done or such actions taken or suffered
by the Committee, the Board, and the Company in so relying shall be conclusive
and binding on all Employees, Participants, Beneficiaries and any other persons
whomsoever, except as otherwise provided by law.

            (d)   The Committee may, but is not required to, rely upon all
records of the Company with respect to any matter or thing whatsoever, and may
likewise treat such records as


                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   13
conclusive with respect to all Employees, Participants, Beneficiaries and any
other persons whomsoever, except as otherwise provided by law.

      9.5   Requirement of Proof. The Committee, the Board, or the Company may
require satisfactory proof of any matter under this Plan from or with respect to
any Employee, Participant or Beneficiary, and no such person shall acquire any
rights or be entitled to receive any benefits under this Plan until such proof
shall be furnished as so required.

      9.6   Limitation on Liability. No employee or director of the Company and
no other person shall be subject to any liability by reason of or arising from
his or her participation in the establishment or administration or operation of
the Plan unless he or she acts fraudulently or in bad faith.

      9.7   Indemnification.

            (a)   To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify
each member of the Awarding Authority, of the Committee, and any other employee
or director of the Company who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of his or her conduct in
the performance in connection with the establishment or administration of the
Plan or any amendment or termination of the Plan.

            (b)   This indemnification shall apply against expenses including,
without limitation, attorneys fees and any expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification hereunder, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which he or she has acted fraudulently or in bad faith
in the performance of such duties.

            (c)   The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall
not, in and of itself, create a presumption that the person acted fraudulently
or in bad faith in the performance of his or her duties.

            (d)   Expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding may be
advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such proceeding, upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount,
unless it shall be determined ultimately that the recipient is entitled to be
indemnified as authorized in this Section 9.7.

            (e)   The right of indemnification set forth in this Section 9.7
shall be in addition to any other right to which any Awarding Authority member,
Committee member or other person may be entitled as a matter of law, by
corporate bylaws or otherwise.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      10.1  Restrictions on Plan Interest.

            (a)   A Participant's interest in this Plan shall be limited to his
or her Account in the Trust and he or she shall have no other interest in any
assets of the Company nor any right as against the Company, Awarding Authority
or Committee for payment of benefits under this Plan.

            (b)   None of the benefits, payments, proceeds, claims or rights
hereunder of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any
creditor of such Participant or Beneficiary and in particular the same shall not
be subject to attachment, garnishment, or other legal process by any creditor of
such Participant or Beneficiary.

            (c)   A Participant or Beneficiary shall not have any right to
alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the benefits
or payments or proceeds which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or
otherwise, under the Plan.

            (d)   A Participant's and Beneficiary's interest in this Plan and
his or her Account in the Trust are subject to the claims of the Company's
creditors as provided in the Trust. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall,
however, be considered a general creditor of the Company with respect to the
assets held in his or her Account in the Trust, so that if the Company should
become insolvent, the Participant or Beneficiary will have a claim against the
Trust assets equal to that of the Company's other general creditors (regardless
of whether such assets are removed from the trust by a trustee in bankruptcy).

      10.2  No Enlargement of Employee Rights.

            (a)   This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of
the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company
and any Employee, or to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a
condition of, the employment of any Employee.

            (b)   An Employee's employment with the Company is not for any
specified term and may be terminated by such Employee or by the Company at any
time for any reason, with or without cause. Nothing in this Plan or in any
agreement pursuant to this Plan shall confer upon any Employee or Participant
any right to continue in the employ of or affiliation with the Company nor
constitute any promise or commitment by the Company regarding future positions,
future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of
employment or affiliation.

            (c)   No person shall have any right to any benefits under this
Plan, except to the extent expressly provided herein.


                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   15
            (d)   The Plan is not intended to nor shall it be deemed to be a
Plan providing retirement income or resulting in the deferral of income by
employees for periods extending to the termination of covered employment or
beyond.

      10.3  Rights of Repurchase and First Refusal for the Company. Any Company
Stock distributed from the Plan shall be subject to a right of repurchase and
right of first refusal by the Company. The terms and conditions of the right of
repurchase and right of first refusal shall be those applied to Company Stock by
the Certificate of Incorporation of Science Applications International
Corporation, as in effect from time to time.

      10.4  Mailing of Payments. All payments under the Plan shall be delivered
in person or mailed to the last address of the Participant (or, in the case of
the death of the Participant to that of any other person entitled to such
payments under the terms of the Plan). Each Participant shall be responsible for
furnishing the Committee with his or her correct current address and the correct
current name and address of his or her Beneficiary.

      10.5  Inability to Locate Participant or Beneficiary. In the event that
the Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary to whom benefits
are payable hereunder after mailing a notice to the Participant's or
Beneficiary's last known address, and such inability lasts for a period of three
(3) years, then any remaining benefits payable hereunder shall be forfeited to
the Company and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to further
benefits from the Plan, even if subsequently located.

      10.6  Governing Law. All legal questions pertaining to the Plan shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

      10.7  Records. The records of the Company with respect to the Plan shall
be conclusive on all Participants, Beneficiaries, and all other persons
whomsoever.

      10.8  Illegality of Particular Provision. If any particular provision of
this Plan shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall
not affect the other provisions thereof, but the Plan shall be construed in all
respect as if such invalid provision were omitted.

      10.9  Receipt or Release. Any payment to any Participant or Beneficiary in
accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in
full satisfaction of all claims against the Awarding Authority, the Committee
and the Company, and the Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary,
as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to
such effect.


                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>   16
      10.10 Arbitration. The Committee's written decision on review of a denial
of benefits, as provided in Section 9.2(e), shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all Participants, Beneficiaries and Employees of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person disputing such a written decision
shall submit such dispute to binding Arbitration pursuant to the rules of the
American Arbitration Association, to be held in San Diego County. The losing
party in such arbitration proceedings shall bear the costs of arbitration, and
each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees.

      2.1   Designation by Awarding Authority. The Awarding Authority in its
sole discretion shall designate those Employees who are to receive Awards under
the Plan. The Awarding Authority's designation of an Employee for a particular

those Employees whom the Awarding Authority has selected for participation in

the Plan, an Employee's leave of absence exceeding thirty (30) days other than
(i) a leave of absence caused by the Employee's disability, as defined under the
terms of any of the Company's short-term or long-term disability plans, (ii) a
qualified military leave as determined by the Committee, or (iii) a family or
medical leave covered by federal or state family/medical leave acts, shall be
considered a termination of employment effective on the thirtieth day of such
leave of absence. An Employee's change in status to that of consulting employee
shall also be considered a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan.
Further, an Employee's change in status to a part-time Employee, which status
exists for an aggregate period or periods (whether or not consecutive) of six
months, shall be considered a termination of employment as of the end of such
six-month period. For this purpose "part-time Employee" shall mean an Employee
whose scheduled work week is less than 30 hours. In the event of the death of a
Participant, all of the Participant's Accounts shall become immediately vested.
The unvested portion of a Participant's Accounts upon termination of employment
shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant, and the shares of Company
Stock represented by such unvested portion shall be returned to the Company or
reallocated in accordance with the Committee's directions and the terms of the
Trust.

      3.1   Trust Fund Established. The Company has established the Trust
pursuant to a trust agreement under which the Trustee will hold and administer
in trust all assets deposited with the Trustee in accordance with the terms of

to act under the Trust agreement, and to enter into new or amended trust
agreements as it deems advisable.

      3.2   Company, Committee and Trustee Not Responsible for Adequacy of Trust
Fund. Neither the Company, Committee nor Trustee shall be liable or responsible
for the adequacy of the Trust Fund to meet and discharge any or all payments and
liabilities hereunder. All Plan benefits will be paid only from the Trust
assets, and neither the Company, the Committee nor the Trustee shall have any
duty or liability to furnish the Trust with any funds, securities or other
assets except as expressly provided in Section 2.3 hereof.

      4.1   Committee to Maintain Accounts. The Committee shall open and
maintain a separate Account with respect to each Award made under the Plan for
purposes of keeping a record of the assets held in Trust for each Participant
and for recording the vesting status of each Award.

      4.2   Accounting Procedures. The Committee shall establish and may amend
from time to time accounting procedures for the purpose of making allocations,
Distributions, valuations and adjustments to Accounts provided for in this
Article IV. A Participant or Beneficiary shall have no contractual or other
right to have a particular accounting procedure or convention apply, or continue
to apply, and the Committee shall be free to alter any such procedure or
convention without obligation to any Participant or Beneficiary.

      4.3   Invasion of Trust by Creditors. If assets of the Trust should be
reduced due to action of the Company's Creditors, as provided in the Trust
document, the Committee shall reduce each Account on a pro rata basis to reflect
such reduction in Trust assets, and the Company shall have no obligation to
replace such lost assets.

      4.4   Trust Expenses. Expenses of the Trust which are not paid by the
Company shall be applied to reduce each Account on a pro rata basis.


                                    ARTICLE V

                            RIGHTS IN ACQUIRED STOCK

      5.1   Power to Vote Stock Rests With Trustee. The power to vote any stock
held by the Trustee shall rest solely with the Trustee, who shall vote such
stock in the same proportion that the other shareholders vote their shares of
Company Stock. For purposes of this Section 5.1, Company Stock shall include
both Class A and Class B Common Stock.

      5.2   Tender Offers. In the case of a tender offer for the Company Stock,
the Trustee shall tender the shares of Company Stock held by the Trust only if
more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Company Stock held outside the
Trust are tendered by the shareholders.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                            DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS

      6.1   Time of Distribution. Subject to the acceleration provisions of
Article VII, a Participant's Account shall be Distributed as follows:

            (a)   The vested portion of the Participant's Account shall be
distributed within a reasonable period of time following the date (i) it becomes
vested, or (ii) the Participant's employment with the Company terminates
(including upon a leave of absence or change in status as specified in Section
2.4), as elected by the Participant in a manner prescribed by the Committee
within ninety (90) days following the date of the Award contained in the
Account. Such election shall be irrevocable.

            (b)   If the Participant fails to make the election described in
subsection (a), the Participant's Account shall be distributed in full within a
reasonable period of time following the seventh anniversary of the date of the
Award contained in such Account.

      6.2   Form of Distribution. Distributions shall be made in the form of
Company Stock or cash, or part Company Stock and part cash, as the Committee
shall determine in its sole discretion.

      6.3   Beneficiary Designation.

            (a)   Upon forms provided by the Committee, each Participant shall
designate in writing the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries whom such Participant
desires to receive the benefits of this Plan, if any, payable in the event of
such Participant's death. A Participant may from time to time change his or her
designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries without the consent of such Beneficiary
or Beneficiaries by filing a new designation in writing with the Committee;
provided, however, that if a married Participant wishes to designate an
individual other than his or her spouse as Beneficiary, such designation shall
not be effective unless consented to in writing by the spouse. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, spousal consent shall not be necessary if it is established to
the satisfaction of the Committee that there is no spouse of the Participant or
that the required consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be
located or is legally incompetent. The Company may rely upon the designation of
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries last filed by the Participant in accordance with
the terms of this Plan.

            (b)   If the designated Beneficiary does not survive the
Participant, or if there is no valid Beneficiary designation, amounts payable
under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's spouse, or if there is no
surviving spouse, then to the duly appointed and currently acting personal
representative of the Participant's estate. If there is no personal
representative of the Participant's estate duly appointed and acting in that
capacity within sixty (60) days after the Participant's death, then all payments
due under the Plan shall be payable to the person or persons who can verify by
affidavit or court order to the satisfaction of the Committee that they are
legally entitled to receive


                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   9
the benefits specified hereunder pursuant to the laws of intestate succession or
other statutory provision in effect at the Participant's death in the state in
which the Participant resided.

      6.4   Distribution to Guardian. If the Committee shall find that any
person to whom any payment is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his
or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, a payment due
(unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian
or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or
a brother or sister, or to any custodian, conservator or other fiduciary
responsible for the management and control of such person's financial affairs in
such manner and proportions as the Committee may determine. Any such payment
shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Trust under this Plan.

      6.5   Withholding of Taxes. To the extent any Distribution from the Trust
is subject to withholding taxes, the Committee may require, as a condition to
the payment of such Distribution, that the Participant or Beneficiary who is
eligible for the Distribution:

            (a)   make payment to the Company in the form of a check for such
withholding taxes; or

            (b)   consent to the withholding of shares of Company Stock by the
Trustee sufficient in value to satisfy such withholding taxes, in which case
such shares shall be delivered to the Company which shall make the appropriate
tax withholding.

The Committee may offer either or both of these options to the Participant or
Beneficiary in the Committee's sole discretion.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                    ACCELERATION OF DISTRIBUTION AND VESTING

      7.1   Termination of Employment or Death. Unless sooner distributed in
accordance with Section 6.1, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
in Section 6.1, the vested portion of a Participant's Accounts shall be
distributed from the Trust as soon as practicable following termination of the
Participant's employment with the Company for any reason, including death.
Termination of employment shall include certain leaves of absence and changes in
status as specified in Section 2.4. The Participant and Beneficiary shall
forfeit any unvested portion of the Accounts at the time of such termination or
death.

      7.2   Change in Control. Every Account shall become fully vested and shall
be immediately distributed to the Participants to whom such Accounts belong,
upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the
Company. A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur upon any "person" (as
defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than
the Company, a subsidiary or any employee benefit plan or trust maintained
by the Company or a subsidiary becoming the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under 


                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   10
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of more than 25%
of the Company Stock outstanding at such time, without the prior approval of the
Board. For purposes of the foregoing, a subsidiary is any corporation in an
unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if each of the
corporations, other than the last corporation in such chain, owns at least fifty
percent (50%) of the total voting power in one of the other corporations in such
chain.

      7.3   Hardship. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof, a
Participant shall be entitled to request a hardship Distribution of all or any
portion of the vested portion of his or her Account(s). A Participant must make
a written request for a hardship Distribution, stating the reasons such
withdrawal is necessary because of a financial hardship. The Committee, in its
sole discretion, shall determine whether or not to grant the hardship
Distribution of such Participant's Account(s) and, in so doing, may rely on the
Participant's statements, and a hardship Distribution and vesting acceleration
may be approved without further investigation unless the Committee has reason to
believe such statements are false.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                         PLAN TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

      8.1   Termination and Amendments. The Plan shall continue until all
amounts have been distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Board retains the right to amend or
terminate the Plan for any reason, including but not limited to adverse changes
in accounting rules or tax laws or the bankruptcy, receivership or dissolution
of the Company. In the event of a Plan amendment or termination, benefits will
either be paid out when due under the terms of the Plan or as soon as possible
as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. To the extent feasible,
the Committee shall use its best efforts to avoid adversely affecting the rights
of any existing Participants in the Plan, but the Committee shall be under no
specific duty or obligation in this regard.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                               PLAN ADMINISTRATION

      9.1   Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject
to the provisions of the Plan and the authority granted hereunder to the
Awarding Authority, the Committee shall have exclusive power to determine the
manner and time of Awards and payment of benefits to the extent herein provided
and to exercise any other discretionary powers granted to the Committee pursuant
to the Plan. The decisions or determinations by the Committee shall be final and
binding upon all parties, including shareholders, Participants and other
Employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall
have the authority to determine whether a termination of employment has occurred
for purposes of the Plan's vesting and forfeiture provisions, and such
determinations need not be uniformly applied as among Employees. The Committee
shall have the authority to interpret the Plan, to make factual findings


                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   11
and determinations, to adopt and revise rules and regulations relating to the
Plan and to make any other determinations which it believes necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee's discretion in
these matters shall be as broad and unfettered as permitted by law.

      9.2   Committee Powers. The Committee shall have all powers necessary to
supervise the administration of the Plan and control its operations. In addition
to any powers and authority conferred on the Committee elsewhere in the Plan or
by law, the Committee shall have, by way of illustration and not by way of
limitation, the following powers and authority:

            (a)   To designate agents to carry out responsibilities relating to
the Plan;

            (b)   To employ such legal, actuarial, medical, accounting, clerical
and other assistance as it may deem appropriate in carrying out the provisions
of this Plan;

            (c)   To administer, interpret, construe and apply this Plan and to
decide all questions which may arise or which may be raised under this Plan by
any Employee, Participant, Beneficiary or other person whomsoever, including but
not limited to all questions relating to eligibility to participate in the Plan,
determination of Awards and the amount of benefits to which any Participant may
be entitled;

            (d)   To establish rules and procedures from time to time for the
conduct of its business and for the administration and effectuation of its
responsibilities under the Plan;

            (e)   To establish claims procedures, and to make forms available
for filing of such claims, and to provide the name of the person or persons with
whom such claims should be filed. The Committee shall establish procedures for
action upon claims initially made and the communication of a decision to the
claimant promptly and, in any event, not later than sixty (60) days after the
date of the claim; the claim may be deemed by the claimant to have been denied
for purposes of further review described below in the event a written decision
is not furnished to the claimant within such sixty (60) day period. Every claim
for benefits which is denied shall be denied by written notice setting forth in
a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (1) the specific reason or
reasons for the denial, (2) specific reference to any provisions of this Plan on
which denial is based, (3) description of any additional material or information
necessary for the claimant to perfect his claim with an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary, and (4) an explanation of the procedure
for further reviewing the denial of the claim under the Plan. The Committee
shall establish a procedure for review of claim denials, such review to be
undertaken by the Committee. The review given after denial of any claim shall be
a full and fair review with the claimant or his duly authorized representative
having one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of denial of his claim to
request such review, having the right to review all pertinent documents and the
right to submit issues and comments in writing. The Committee shall establish a
procedure for issuance of a decision by the Committee not later than sixty (60)
days after receipt of a request for review from a claimant unless special
circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require a longer period of
time, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not
later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the claimant's request
for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include


                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   12
specific reasons for the decision written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant with specific reference to any provisions of this
Plan on which the decision is based; and

            (f)   To perform or cause to be performed such further acts as it
may deem to be necessary, appropriate, or convenient in the efficient
administration of the Plan.

            Any action taken in good faith by the Committee in the exercise of
authority conferred upon it by this Plan shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Participants and their beneficiaries. All discretionary powers conferred
upon the Committee shall be absolute.

      9.3   Plan Expenses. Members of the Committee shall serve as such without
compensation from the Plan, but may receive compensation from the Company for so
serving. All Plan administration expenses shall be borne by the Company or the
Trust as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

      9.4   Reliance Upon Documents and Opinions.

            (a)   The members of the Committee, the Board, and the Company shall
be entitled to rely upon any:

                  (i)   Tables, valuations, computations, estimates,
      certificates, opinions and reports furnished by any consultant, or firm or
      corporation which employs one or more consultants or advisors; and

                  (ii)  Computations, estimates and reports furnished by any
      consultants or consulting firms.

            (b)   The members of the Committee, the Board, and the Company shall
be fully protected and shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for anything
done or action taken or suffered in reliance upon any such consultant, firm, or
corporation which employs one or more consultants or counsel.

            (c)   Any and all such things done or such actions taken or suffered
by the Committee, the Board, and the Company in so relying shall be conclusive
and binding on all Employees, Participants, Beneficiaries and any other persons
whomsoever, except as otherwise provided by law.

            (d)   The Committee may, but is not required to, rely upon all
records of the Company with respect to any matter or thing whatsoever, and may
likewise treat such records as conclusive with respect to all Employees,
Participants, Beneficiaries and any other persons whomsoever, except as
otherwise provided by law.

      9.5   Requirement of Proof. The Committee, the Board, or the Company may
require satisfactory proof of any matter under this Plan from or with respect to
any Employee, Participant or Beneficiary, and no such person shall acquire any
rights or be entitled to receive any benefits under this Plan until such proof
shall be furnished as so required.

      9.6   Limitation on Liability. No employee or director of the Company and
no other person shall be subject to any liability by reason of or arising from
his or her participation in the establishment or administration or operation of
the Plan unless he or she acts fraudulently or in bad faith.

      9.7   Indemnification.

            (a)   To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify
each member of the Awarding Authority, of the Committee, and any other employee
or director of the Company who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of his or her conduct in
the performance in connection with the establishment or administration of the
Plan or any amendment or termination of the Plan.

            (b)   This indemnification shall apply against expenses including,
without limitation, attorneys fees and any expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification hereunder, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which he or she has acted fraudulently or in bad faith
in the performance of such duties.

            (c)   The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall
not, in and of itself, create a presumption that the person acted fraudulently
or in bad faith in the performance of his or her duties.

            (d)   Expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding may be
advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such proceeding, upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount,
unless it shall be determined ultimately that the recipient is entitled to be
indemnified as authorized in this Section 9.7.

            (e)   The right of indemnification set forth in this Section 9.7
shall be in addition to any other right to which any Awarding Authority member,
Committee member or other person may be entitled as a matter of law, by
corporate bylaws or otherwise.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      10.1  Restrictions on Plan Interest.

            (a)   A Participant's interest in this Plan shall be limited to his
or her Account in the Trust and he or she shall have no other interest in any
assets of the Company nor any right as against the Company, Awarding Authority
or Committee for payment of benefits under this Plan.

            (b)   None of the benefits, payments, proceeds, claims or rights
hereunder of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any
creditor of such Participant or Beneficiary and in particular the same shall not
be subject to attachment, garnishment, or other legal process by any creditor of
such Participant or Beneficiary.

            (c)   A Participant or Beneficiary shall not have any right to
alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the benefits
or payments or proceeds which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or
otherwise, under the Plan.

            (d)   A Participant's and Beneficiary's interest in this Plan and
his or her Account in the Trust are subject to the claims of the Company's
creditors as provided in the Trust. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall,
however, be considered a general creditor of the Company with respect to the
assets held in his or her Account in the Trust, so that if the Company should
become insolvent, the Participant or Beneficiary will have a claim against the
Trust assets equal to that of the Company's other general creditors (regardless
of whether such assets are removed from the trust by a trustee in bankruptcy).

      10.2  No Enlargement of Employee Rights.

            (a)   This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of
the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company
and any Employee, or to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a
condition of, the employment of any Employee.

            (b)   An Employee's employment with the Company is not for any
specified term and may be terminated by such Employee or by the Company at any
time for any reason, with or without cause. Nothing in this Plan or in any
agreement pursuant to this Plan shall confer upon any Employee or Participant
any right to continue in the employ of or affiliation with the Company nor
constitute any promise or commitment by the Company regarding future positions,
future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of
employment or affiliation.

            (c)   No person shall have any right to any benefits under this
Plan, except to the extent expressly provided herein.


                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   15
            (d)   The Plan is not intended to nor shall it be deemed to be a
Plan providing retirement income or resulting in the deferral of income by
employees for periods extending to the termination of covered employment or
beyond.

      10.3  Rights of Repurchase and First Refusal for the Company. Any Company
Stock distributed from the Plan shall be subject to a right of repurchase and
right of first refusal by the Company. The terms and conditions of the right of
repurchase and right of first refusal shall be those applied to Company Stock by
the Certificate of Incorporation of Science Applications International
Corporation, as in effect from time to time.

      10.4  Mailing of Payments. All payments under the Plan shall be delivered
in person or mailed to the last address of the Participant (or, in the case of
the death of the Participant to that of any other person entitled to such
payments under the terms of the Plan). Each Participant shall be responsible for
furnishing the Committee with his or her correct current address and the correct
current name and address of his or her Beneficiary.

      10.5  Inability to Locate Participant or Beneficiary. In the event that
the Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary to whom benefits
are payable hereunder after mailing a notice to the Participant's or
Beneficiary's last known address, and such inability lasts for a period of three
(3) years, then any remaining benefits payable hereunder shall be forfeited to
the Company and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to further
benefits from the Plan, even if subsequently located.

      10.6  Governing Law. All legal questions pertaining to the Plan shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

      10.7  Records. The records of the Company with respect to the Plan shall
be conclusive on all Participants, Beneficiaries, and all other persons
whomsoever.

      10.8  Illegality of Particular Provision. If any particular provision of
this Plan shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall
not affect the other provisions thereof, but the Plan shall be construed in all
respect as if such invalid provision were omitted.

      10.9  Receipt or Release. Any payment to any Participant or Beneficiary in
accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in
full satisfaction of all claims against the Awarding Authority, the Committee
and the Company, and the Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary,
as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to
such effect.

      10.10 Arbitration. The Committee's written decision on review of a denial
of benefits, as provided in Section 9.2(e), shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all Participants, Beneficiaries and Employees of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person disputing such a written decision
shall submit such dispute to binding Arbitration pursuant to the rules of the
American Arbitration Association, to be held in San Diego County. The losing
party in such arbitration proceedings shall bear the costs of arbitration, and
each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees.

3.      ADMINISTRATION

        (a) The Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee which
shall consist of not less than two directors appointed by the Board, each of
whom shall satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3, as amended, of the Exchange
Act. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination
in respect thereto, if made in good faith. The Committee may appoint a separate
committee with respect to Optionees who are not subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act.

        (b) Powers of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion and on behalf of the
Company:

               (i)    to grant Options;

               (ii) to determine whether the Options granted are intended to be
        incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options;

               (iii) to determine the Exercise Price per share of Options to be
        granted;

               (iv) to determine the individuals to whom, and the time or times
        at which, Options shall be granted and the number of shares for which an
        Option will be exercisable;

               (v)    to interpret the Plan;

               (vi) to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations
        relating to the Plan;

        granted and, with the consent of the Optionee, to modify or amend each
        Option;

               (viii) to accelerate or defer, with the consent of the Optionee,
        the exercise date of any Option;

               (ix) with the consent of the Optionee, to reprice, cancel and
        regrant, or otherwise adjust the Exercise Price of an Option previously
        granted by the Committee; and

               (x) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
        advisable for the administration of the Plan.


                                        2
<PAGE>   3
        (c) Committee Discretion. In exercising its authority, the Committee
shall have the broadest possible discretion and the Committee's determinations
under the Plan made in good faith shall be binding and conclusive on Optionees
and other persons claiming entitlements under the Plan. In no event shall a
Committee determination with respect to a particular Optionee or provision of
the Plan be binding with respect to any other Optionee (even if similarly
situated) nor with respect to any future determinations regarding the same or
other provisions of the Plan.

4.      ELIGIBILITY

        (a) General. The individuals who shall be eligible to participate in the
Plan and to receive Options hereunder shall be such key employees, directors and
consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Committee shall from time
to time determine. The Committee may designate one or more directors who are not
eligible for participation in the Plan for a specified period of time. No Option
shall be granted to any person who, at the time the Option is granted, owns
(including stock owned by application of the constructive ownership rules of
Section 425(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary.

        (b) Incentive Stock Options. No Option which is designated as an
incentive stock option shall be granted to any person who, at the time the
Option is granted, is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary. The
aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of
the Common Stock with respect to which Options designated as incentive stock
options are exercisable for the first time by an employee shall not exceed
$100,000 during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any
Subsidiary which provide for the granting of an incentive stock option).

5.      STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        Options may be granted permitting the purchase of the aggregate of not
more than 12,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 10 hereof. These shares may consist either in whole or in
part of shares of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock or shares
of the Company's authorized and issued Common Stock reacquired by the Company
and held in its treasury. If an Option granted under this Plan is surrendered,
expires or for any other reason ceases to be exercisable in whole or in part,
the shares which were subject to any such Option but as to which the Option
ceases to be exercisable shall be available for Options to be granted under the
Plan.

6.      STOCK OPTIONS

        (a) Options. The Options granted pursuant to the Plan may be "incentive
stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or non-qualified
stock options. Options designated to be incentive stock options shall be
designated as such in the option agreements evidencing such Options.



                                       3
<PAGE>   4

        (b) Option Agreements. Options shall be evidenced by written option
agreements between the Optionee and the Company in such form as the Committee
shall from time to time determine. No Option or purported Option shall be a
valid and binding obligation of the Company unless previously granted by the
Committee and evidenced in writing by such an option agreement. If an option
agreement is not executed by the Optionee and returned to the Company within the
time prescribed in the option agreement, the Option evidenced thereby will be
forfeited and the option agreement will be null and void. Appropriate officers
of the Company are hereby authorized to execute and deliver option agreements in
the name of the Company, as directed from time to time by the Committee.

        (c) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price at which Options may be granted
under the Plan shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the day the Option is granted, but may be
less than the Exercise Price or Prices of previously granted Options, whether in
effect, canceled or expired. As long as the Company's Common Stock is not listed
on any national securities exchange or traded on a regular basis (as determined
by the Company's Board or a Committee of the Board to which the Board has
delegated the authority to make such determination) on the over-the-counter
market, fair market value may be taken as the Formula Price as in effect at the
date of grant.

        (d) Date of Grant. The Committee shall, after it approves the granting
of an Option to a participant, cause the participant to be notified of such
action. The date on which the Committee approves the granting of an Option shall
be considered the date on which such Option is granted.

        (e) Terms of Exercise. The right to purchase shares covered by any
Option or Options under the Plan shall be exercisable only in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the grant to such Optionee. The Committee may, in
its discretion, provide that such Option or Options may be exercised in whole or
in part, in installments, cumulative or otherwise, for any period or periods of
time specified by the Committee of not more than ten years from the date of the
grant of the Option. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9, that portion of
an Option which is exercisable on an installment basis may not be exercised
prior to the expiration of the applicable installment period.

        (f) Non-Transferability. An Option granted under the Plan may not be
transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during
the lifetime of the Optionee to whom granted, may be exercised only by such
Optionee or his conservator or other legal representative.

        (g) Limit on Option Grants. In no event may any single Optionee receive
Option grants for more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate.

7.      EXPIRATION AND TERMINATION

        (a) Expiration of Option. Each Option and all rights and obligations
thereunder shall, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9, expire on a date to
be determined by the Committee, such date, however, in no event to be later than
ten (10) years from the date an Option is granted.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

        (b) Termination of Employment or Affiliation. Subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 9, that portion of an Option which is exercisable on an installment
basis may not be exercised unless the Optionee shall continue in the employ or
affiliation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the entire period
to which such installment relates. Except as set forth below in Paragraphs 7(c)
through (e) or otherwise set forth in an option agreement, all Options granted
to an Optionee under this Plan shall terminate and no longer be exercisable as
of the date such Optionee ceases to be employed or affiliated with the Company
or any Subsidiary; provided, however, the Committee in its discretion may extend
the period of time that such Optionee may exercise such Optionee's Options, but
in no event may the Committee extend such period of time beyond the expiration
date of the Options or beyond ten (10) years from the date of grant of such
Options.

        (c) Termination Due to Retirement or Permanent Total Disability. In the
event an Employee/Optionee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary shall
terminate as the result of normal retirement, permanent total disability or
early retirement under the terms of a retirement or pension plan maintained by
the Company and in which such Employee/Optionee is a participant, such
Employee/Optionee may, at any time within ninety (90) days after such
termination of employment, exercise such Employee/Optionee's Options to the
extent that the Employee/Optionee was entitled to exercise them on the date of
such termination of employment, unless such Options would expire pursuant to
their terms at an earlier date, in which case such Options shall remain
exercisable only until the earlier expiration date.

        (d) Death. If an Optionee dies while in the employ or affiliation of the
Company or of a Subsidiary without having fully exercised such Optionee's
Options, such Options may, within one (1) year of the Optionee's death (or
within such shorter period as may be specified in the Option by the Committee),
be exercised by the beneficiary designated pursuant to Paragraph 8(c), or if
there is no such surviving beneficiary, by the person or persons to whom the
Optionee's rights under the Option shall pass by will or by the applicable laws
of descent and distribution to the extent that such deceased Optionee was
entitled to exercise the Options on the date of death, unless such Options would
expire pursuant to their terms at an earlier date, in which case such Options
shall remain exercisable only until the earlier expiration date.

        (e) Leaves of Absence. An Employee/Optionee who is on a leave of absence
pursuant to the terms of the Company's Administrative Policy No. B-11 "Unpaid
Personal Leave of Absence" or any amended or replacement policy thereof, shall
not, during the period of any such absence be deemed, by virtue of such absence
alone, to have terminated such Employee/Optionee's employment with the Company
or any Subsidiary except as the Committee may otherwise expressly provide.
Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, or unless otherwise required by
applicable law, unless such Employee/Optionee is on a Medical Leave (as
hereinafter defined), all rights which such Employee/Optionee would have had to
exercise Options granted hereunder will be suspended during the period of such
leave of absence. Upon such Employee/Optionee's return to the Company or any
Subsidiary, all rights to exercise Options shall be restored to the extent such
Options are exercisable at that time. The Committee in its discretion may permit
the exercise, while on a leave of absence, of Options which would otherwise
expire or may defer the expiration date of such Options, but not beyond ten (10)
years from their date of grant. An Employee/Optionee who is on a Medical Leave
shall have all rights to exercise such Employee/Optionee's Options that such
Employee/Optionee


                                       5

<PAGE>   6
would have had if such Employee/Optionee were not on a Medical Leave. For
purposes of this Paragraph 7(e), "Medical Leave" shall be defined as a leave of
absence for medical reasons which shall begin after ninety-one (91) consecutive
calendar days of total disability leave and shall remain in effect until the
earlier of a release by the attending physician for the Employee/Optionee to
return to work or until the termination of employment. In the case of incentive
stock options which would otherwise cease to be incentive stock options during a
leave of absence by virtue of the operation of Treasury Regulations Section
1.421(7)(h)(2), the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit exercise of
the incentive stock option while on such a leave of absence or may permit
conversion of such incentive stock option to a non-qualified stock option with
otherwise identical terms.

8.      EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

        (a) The Purchase Price shall be paid in full when the Option is
exercised. The Purchase Price may be paid in whole or in part in (i) cash or
(ii) whole shares of Common Stock of the Company evidenced by negotiable
certificates, valued at the Formula Price in effect on the date of exercise;
provided, however, that unless an exception is granted by the Secretary of this
Corporation, shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired through the exercise
of a stock option must have been owned by the Optionee for at least six months
before such shares of Common Stock may be used to pay the Purchase Price. The
Company or any Subsidiary shall be entitled to deduct from other compensation
payable to each Optionee any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to
be withheld with respect to the exercise of an Option but, in the alternative,
may require the Optionee or other person exercising the Option to pay, or the
Optionee or such other persons may pay, such sums to the employer corporation at
the time of such exercise. The Committee shall have the authority in its
discretion to allow withholding on exercise of an Option to be satisfied by
withholding from the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Option a
number of shares, valued at the Formula Price in effect on the date of exercise
of the Option, equal in value to the withholding requirement.

        (b) An Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company
with respect to any shares for which his or her Option is exercisable until the
date of exercise of such Option and the issuance of a stock certificate for such
shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends, ordinary or extraordinary or
whether in currency, securities or other property, distributions, or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is
issued.

        (c) Each Optionee may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be
named contingently or successively) to whom the right to exercise Options
following the Optionee's death (as provided in Paragraph 7(d)) shall pass. Each
designation will revoke any prior designations by the same Optionee, shall be on
a form prescribed by the Committee, and shall be effective only when filed by
the Optionee in writing with the Committee during the lifetime of the Optionee.
In the absence of any such designation, the right to exercise any unexercised
Options following the death of the Optionee shall pass to the person or persons
to whom the Optionee's rights under the Option pass by will or by the applicable
laws of descent and distribution.

9.      CHANGE IN CONTROL



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

        Notwithstanding any provision of Paragraph 7 above to the contrary but
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4(b) above, any Option granted pursuant
to the Plan shall, in the case of a Change In Control (as hereinafter defined)
of the Company, become fully exercisable as to all shares of Common Stock to
which it relates from and after the date of such Change In Control. For purposes
of this Paragraph 9, the term "Change in Control" shall be deemed to occur upon
any "person" (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than the
Company or any Subsidiary or employee benefit plan or trust maintained by the
Company or any Subsidiary, becoming the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the
Common Stock of the Company outstanding at such time, without the prior approval
of the Board. If the provisions of this Paragraph 9 are limited by the $100,000
limit of Paragraph 4(b) above, the acceleration of exercisability provided under
this Paragraph 9 shall be first applied to those incentive stock options having
the lowest Exercise Price. Any remaining Options which would have become
exercisable but for the $100,000 limit shall become exercisable on the first
date on which they may become exercisable without exceeding the $100,000 limit.

10.     LOANS

        The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, provide to any Optionee
a loan or guarantee on behalf of any Optionee a loan to facilitate the exercise
of Options on such terms and conditions as agreed to by the Committee.

11.     CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

        The aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to
this Plan, the maximum number of shares as to which Options may be granted to
any one Optionee hereunder, and the number of shares and the Exercise Price
shall be appropriately adjusted, as determined by the Committee in its
discretion, for any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
which the Company 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.

12.     NO EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION

        An Employee/Optionee's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is
not for any specified term and may be terminated by such Employee/Optionee or by
the Company or a Subsidiary at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.
Nothing in this Plan or in any option agreement pursuant to this Plan shall
confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation
with, the Company or a Subsidiary nor constitute any promise or commitment by
the Company or a Subsidiary regarding future positions, future work assignments,
future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation.

13.     GOVERNMENT AND STOCK EXCHANGE REGULATIONS



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

        The Company shall not be required to issue any shares upon the exercise
of any Option unless and until the Company has fully complied with any then
applicable requirements by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
California Corporations Commissioner, or other regulatory agencies having
jurisdiction, and of any exchanges upon which Common Stock of the Company may be
listed.

        Upon the exercise of an Option at a time when there is not in effect a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 or a similar statute
(the "Act") relating to the stock issuable upon exercise thereof and available
for delivery a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of said
Act, or if the rules or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission so require, the stock may be issued only if the holder represents and
warrants in writing to the Company that the shares purchased are being acquired
for investment and not with a view to distribution thereof.

14.     AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

        The Board or the Operating Committee of the Board may at any time
suspend or terminate the Plan and may amend it from time to time in such
respects as the Board or the Operating Committee may deem advisable in order
that Options granted thereunder shall conform to any change in the law, or in
any other respect which the Board or the Operating Committee may deem to be in
the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall, without the approval of a majority of the voting power of the capital
stock of the Company present or represented and entitled to vote at a duly
constituted meeting of the stockholders, (i) increase the maximum number of
shares for which Options may be granted under the Plan, except as specified in
Paragraph 11, (ii) change the provisions of Paragraph 6(c) relating to the
establishment of the Exercise Price other than to change the manner of
determination the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock to conform
with any then applicable provisions of the Code or regulations issued
thereunder, or (iii) permit the granting of Options to members of the Committee.
No Option may be granted during any suspension, or after termination of the
Plan.

15.     NO IMPLIED RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS

        The Company, in establishing and maintaining this Plan as a voluntary
and unilateral undertaking, expressly disavows the creation of any rights in
Optionees or others claiming entitlements under the Plan or any obligations on
the part of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Committee, except as expressly
provided herein.

16.     EMPLOYEES BASED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES

        Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to
foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan or to comply with
provisions of laws or regulations in other countries in which the Company and
its subsidiaries operate or have employees, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall have the power and authority to (i) determine which employees
employed outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan, (ii)
modify the terms and conditions of any Options granted to employees who are
employed outside the United States and (iii) establish 



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

subplans, modified option exercise procedures and other terms and procedures to
the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable.

17.     EFFECTIVE DATE

        The effective date of the Plan shall be July 14, 1995.

18.     TERMINATION DATE

        Unless the Plan shall have been previously terminated by the Board or
the Operating Committee of the Board, the Plan shall terminate on July 31, 1998,
except as to Options theretofore granted and outstanding under the Plan at that
date, and no Option shall be granted after that date.

19.     GOVERNING LAW

        The Plan and all option agreements shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

            Account, the difference between the Participant's Pre-1991 Deferral
            Account if interest had been credited at a rate of Moody's plus 5%
            in each Plan Year and the Participant's actual current Pre-1991
            Deferral Account.

            A separate calculation of Ceiling Excess Earnings shall be made with

4.    Deferral Commitments

      4.1   Deferral Elections

            Each Executive and Director who wishes to participate in the Plan
            must elect, prior to the first Plan Year of the Participant's
            eligibility, to defer during each year of the Commitment Period a
            fixed percentage of the Participant's Covered Compensation. This
            election will be irrevocable and binding upon the Participant,
            except as provided in Section 4.2, "Changes to Deferral Elections."
            Participants may elect to defer up to 100% but not less than 10% of
            Covered Compensation, in whole percentages, but not less than $1,000
            (before reductions, if any, under Section 4.2.1).

            With respect to the Post-1990 Deferral Account elections, the
            Committee shall specify annual election periods during which
            irrevocable deferral elections by Participants shall be made.

      4.2   Changes to Deferral Elections

      4.2.1 The maximum allowable total deferral of Covered Compensation for all
            Participants under this Plan for any Plan Year will be determined by
            the Committee. In the event that Participant deferral elections are
            estimated to result in this maximum being exceeded, the following
            method will be used to reduce Participant deferral percentages so
            that the total estimated deferral is less than the maximum
            allowable.

            a)    All Executives who have elected to defer more than 50% of
                  Covered Compensation will be reduced, on an equal percentage
                  basis, but not below 50% of Covered Compensation or $5,000,
                  whichever is greater.

            b)    If after implementation of subsection (a) above, the total
                  deferral is still greater than the maximum allowable total
                  deferral, all Executives' percentage deferrals will be reduced
                  on an equal percentage basis until the maximum allowable total
                  deferral is achieved.

      4.2.2 In the event that a Participant rescinds, in whole or in part, his
            or her election to defer a percentage of Covered Compensation in any
            Plan Year, the Participant may not defer any Covered Compensation
            for the balance of the Plan Year, nor in the following Plan Year.

      4.2.3 The Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to terminate the
            Plan at any time pursuant to Section 9; in such event, deferrals
            will cease effective as of the termination date.


                                       4

      4.3   Rollover of Balances from Current Deferred Compensation Plan

      4.3.1 Participants who hold a balance in the Company's current Deferred
            Compensation Plan may elect to transfer that balance on a
            bookkeeping basis into this Plan at the beginning of the first Plan
            Year.

5.    Earnings on Participants' Accounts

      5.1   Base Earnings on Deferral

      5.1.1 Covered Compensation deferred by a Participant shall be credited to
            the Participant's Deferral Account as of the date of deferral.
            Interest in each Plan Year will be credited quarterly on the average
            Deferral Account balance for that quarter. The rate of interest
            applied to the Pre-1991 Deferral Account shall be at a base rate
            equivalent to an annual rate equal to Moody's Rate, and the rate
            applicable to the Post-1990 Deferral Account shall be at a base rate
            equivalent to an annual rate equal to the Moody's Rate less 1%. In
            each case, the Moody's Rate in effect on each Anniversary Date shall
            be used to determine the applicable rate of interest applied during
            the subsequent Plan Year.

      5.2   Earnings on Rollover Balances

      5.2.1 The portion of a Participant's Pre-1991 Deferral Account resulting
            from the transfer of a balance from the Company's current Deferred
            Compensation Plan will be credited quarterly with a rate of interest
            equivalent to 60% of the interest rate announced by Bank of America
            as its "prime rate" on the previous Anniversary Date for the first
            four (4) Plan Years. After the fourth Plan Anniversary Date, this
            portion of the Pre-1991 Deferral Account will be credited with
            interest quarterly at an effective annual rate equal to Moody's Rate
            plus 9% until the cumulative interest equals that amount of interest
            which would have been credited assuming that Moody's Rate had been
            used since Plan inception. At that time, the distinction between
            portions of the Pre-1991 Deferral Account from deferrals and from
            transfers will cease to exist.

      5.3   Additional Earnings

      5.3.1 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine whether and in
            what amount additional earnings shall be allocated to Participants'
            Deferral Accounts. It is anticipated, but not guaranteed, that for
            Pre-1991 Deferral Accounts, additional earnings will be allocated
            beginning with the 10th Anniversary Date of the Plan and that for
            Post-1990 Deferral Accounts, additional earnings will be allocated
            beginning on January 1, 2001. Whether additional earnings will be
            credited and their amount will depend upon several factors,
            including the Company's future tax rate and its after-tax return on


                                       5
<PAGE>   7
            investments. Additional earnings in any Plan Year, if any, as
            determined by the Committee, will be allocated to each Participant's
            Deferral Account (except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1.3 and
            except for Deferral Accounts of Participants who have had a
            Termination of Employment prior to ten years of participation in the
            Plan) by the ratio of the Participant's Ceiling Excess Earnings to
            the sum of all Participants' Ceiling Excess Earnings as of the end
            of the Plan Year, with such additional earnings and Ceiling Excess
            Earnings calculated separately for Pre-1991 and Post-1990 Deferral
            Accounts.

6.    Payout of Participants' Accounts

      6.1   Early Withdrawal Option

      6.1.1 Participants may elect a one-time early withdrawal of up to 75% of
            their Pre-1991 and/or Post-1990 Deferral Account(s) to be paid
            within 90 days following any Anniversary Date starting with the
            seventh Anniversary Date of Plan participation.

      6.1.2 Participants shall make an annual election prior to each Anniversary
            Date starting with the 6th Anniversary Date whether to continue
            their deferral for one or more years or to receive the early
            withdrawal payment following the subsequent Anniversary Date.

      6.1.3 Participants who elect the one-time early withdrawal of up to 75% of
            their Pre-1991 and/or Post-1990 Deferral Account(s) pursuant to
            this Section 6.1 shall not be entitled to receive additional
            earnings, if any, otherwise allocable under Section 5.3.1 to the
            remaining portion of their applicable Deferral Account(s) from which
            the withdrawal is made.

      6.2   Termination Payouts

      6.2.1 A Participant who has a Termination of Employment prior to one year
            of Plan Participation shall receive an amount equal to his or her
            Deferral Account, less any credited earnings. Payment shall be make
            in a lump sum within twelve months following Termination of
            Employment.

      6.2.2 A Participant who has a Termination of Employment after one year of
            Plan Participation but prior to 10 years of Plan participation shall
            receive payment in a lump sum within twelve months following
            Termination of Employment equal to his or her Deferral Account(s) as
            of the most recent quarterly valuation.


                                       6
<PAGE>   8
      6.2.3 A Participant who has a Termination of Employment after 10 years of
            Plan participation shall be subject and entitled to the Normal
            Payout provisions set forth in Section 6.4.

      6.3   Survivor Payouts

      6.3.1 If a Participant dies before Normal Payout commences and the Plan
            Agreement is in effect at the time of death, the Employer shall make
            a Survivor Payout, as defined in Section 6.3.2, to the designated
            Beneficiary.

      6.3.2 The Survivor Payout shall consist of the Participant's Deferral
            Account(s) at the time of death.

      6.3.3 The Survivor Payout shall be paid in a lump sum to the Beneficiary
            within twelve months following verification of the Participant's
            death.

      6.3.4 Notwithstanding subsection 6.3.3 above, a Participant may elect on
            the Beneficiary form provided by the Committee that the Survivor
            Payout be made over a 20-, 40-, or 60-quarter period rather than as
            a lump sum.

      6.4   Normal Payouts

      6.4.1 Normal Payouts shall commence at age sixty-five (65), Retirement or
            ten (10) years of Plan participation, whichever is the latest to
            occur.

      6.4.2 A Participant who Retires may request that Normal Payout commence
            upon such Retirement. The Committee in its sole discretion may grant
            such request in the event that the Participant demonstrates
            financial need and the cash flow of the Company permits such early
            commencement.

      6.4.3 The Participant shall elect to receive the Normal Payout over a 20-,
            40- or 60- quarter period. The first payment will commence within 90
            days of the quarter end following Retirement.

      6.4.4 If a Participant does not elect a payout option, the payments shall
            be over a 20-quarter period.

      6.4.5 Normal Payout shall consist of the Participant's Deferral Account(s)
            spread equally over the elected payout period. Earnings, and
            additional earnings, if applicable, as provided in Subsection 5.3.1,
            shall continue to be credited to the remaining Deferral Account(s)
            during the payout period and shall be estimated so that
            approximately equal payments can be made.


                                       7
<PAGE>   9
      6.4.6 If a Participant dies during the Normal Payout period, Normal Payout
            shall continue as scheduled to the Participant's Beneficiary.

      6.4.7 The election provided in Section 6.4.3 shall be made during the
            initial Commitment Period of Plan participation and shall become
            irrevocable at the end of such period.

      6.5   Payment for Notification of Death

      6.5.1 If a Participant dies following either Retirement or Termination of
            Employment, the Company will pay a $5,000 notification payment of a
            lump sum to the Participant's Beneficiary within 90 days of the
            quarter end following verification of the Participant's death.

7.    Beneficiary Designation

      7.1   Upon forms provided by the Committee, each Participant shall
            designate in writing the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries whom such
            Participant desires to receive the benefits of this Plan, payable
            under Sections 6.3, 6.4 and/or 6.5, in the event of such
            Participant's death.

      7.2   A Participant may from time to time change his or her designated
            Beneficiary or Beneficiaries without the consent of such Beneficiary
            or Beneficiaries by filing a new designation in writing with the
            Committee.

      7.3   If a married Participant wishes to designate an individual other
            than his or her spouse as Beneficiary, such designation shall not be
            effective (i.e., the surviving spouse shall be treated as the sole
            Beneficiary) unless consented to in writing by the spouse, which
            consent shall acknowledge the effect of the designation and be
            witnessed by a member of the Committee (or an individual designated
            by the Committee) or acknowledged before a notary public.
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, spousal consent shall not be
            necessary if it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee
            that there is no spouse of the Participant or that the required
            consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located. The
            Company may rely upon the designation of Beneficiary or
            Beneficiaries last filed by the Participant in accordance with the
            terms of this Plan.

      7.4   If the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, or
            if there is no valid Beneficiary designation, amounts payable under
            the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's spouse, or if there is
            no surviving spouse, then to the duly appointed and currently acting
            personal representative of the Participant's estate. If there is no
            personal representative of the Participant's estate duly appointed
            and acting in that capacity within 60 days after the Participant's


                                       8
<PAGE>   10
            death, then all payments due under the Plan shall be payable to the
            person or persons who can verify affidavit or court order to the
            satisfaction of the Committee that they are legally entitled to
            receive the benefits specified hereunder pursuant to the laws of
            interstate succession or other statutory provision in effect at the
            Participant's death in the state in which the Participant resided.

      7.5   In the event any amount is payable under the Plan to a minor,
            payment shall not be made to the minor, but instead shall be paid to
            that person's then living parent(s) to act as custodian, or, if no
            parent of that person is living, to a custodian selected by the
            Committee to hold the funds for the minor under the Uniform
            Transfers to Minors Act, or similar law, in effect in the
            jurisdiction in which the minor resides.

8.    Acceleration Provisions

      8.1   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 hereof, a Participant
            shall be entitled to request a hardship withdrawal of all or any
            portion of their Deferral Account or acceleration of payments of
            their Deferral Account if payments have already commenced under the
            payout option selected by the Participant. A Participant must make a
            written request to the Committee for a hardship withdrawal or
            request for accelerated payment, stating the reasons such withdrawal
            or acceleration is necessary because of a financial hardship. The
            Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether or not to
            grant the Participant's request and, in so doing, may rely on the
            Participant's statements, and a hardship withdrawal or accelerated
            payment may be approved without further investigation unless the
            Committee has reason to believe such statements are false.

            The Participant shall specify from which of their Deferral
            Account(s) (i.e., Pre-1991 or Post-1990, or both) the hardship
            withdrawal shall be taken.

      8.2   The Committee, acting in its sole discretion, may determine to
            accelerate, in whole or in part, payments of some or all Deferral
            Account(s) (including Deferral Account(s) as to which payments have
            not yet commenced) in the event of a threatened or actual change in
            control of the Company, or in the event that a change in the legal,
            accounting, or tax treatment of amounts deferred under the Plan are
            altered in a manner which would potentially subject the Company, the
            Participants, or both, to adverse tax or administrative burdens.

9.    Amendment and Termination of Plan

      9.1   The Company may, at its absolute and sole discretion, amend or
            terminate the Plan at any time.

      9.2   In the event of Company-initiated Plan termination, Participants'
            entire Deferral Account(s), including credited interest, will be
            paid to Participants within twelve months of the quarter end
            following Plan termination.

10.   Nature of Accounts

      10.1  All amounts credited to the Deferral Account(s) shall remain the
            sole property of the Company and shall be usable by it as part of
            its general funds for any legal purpose whatsoever. The Deferral
            Account(s) shall exist only as bookkeeping entries for the purpose
            of facilitating the computation of earnings credits hereunder and
            such Deferral Account(s) shall not constitute trust funds, escrow
            accounts, or any other form of asset segregation in favor of anyone
            other than the Company. No participant shall have any interest in
            any specific asset of the Company by virtue of this Plan and each
            Participant's rights under this Plan shall at all times be limited
            to those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

            Although sometimes referred to in this Plan as "interest," amounts
            credited to Deferral Account(s) pursuant to Section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3
            may be treated as compensation for tax and payroll withholding
            purposes, pursuant to applicable Internal Revenue Code and Treasury
            regulation requirements.

11.   Limitation on Rights of Participants

      11.1  If a Participant is an employee of the Company, such employment is
            not for any specific term and may be terminated by the Participant
            or Company at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.
            Neither this Plan nor any election to defer compensation hereunder
            shall be held or construed to confer on any person any legal right
            to be continued as an employee, consultant or Director of the
            Company; nor to constitute any promise or commitment by the Company
            regarding future positions, future work assignments, future
            compensation or any other term or condition of employment or
            affiliation.

12.   Non-Transferability

      12.1  No right to payment under this Plan shall be subject to
            anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or
            charge and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign,
            pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void. No

            right to payment shall in any manner be liable for, or subject to,
            the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled
            thereto.

13.   Restriction Against Assignment

      13.1  The Participant or Beneficiary shall not have the power to transfer,
            assign, anticipate, modify, or otherwise encumber in any manner
            whatsoever any of the payments that will become due pursuant to this
            Plan, nor shall said payments be subject to attachment, garnishment
            or execution, or be transferable by operation of law in event of
            bankruptcy or insolvency.

14.   Binding Effect

      14.1  The Plan Agreement or Agreements attached hereto, when executed,
            is/are solely between the Company and the Participant. The
            Participant and any Beneficiary shall have recourse only against the
            Company for its enforcement, and any Plan Agreement shall be binding
            upon the Beneficiary, heirs, and personal representative of the
            Participant and upon the successors and assigns of the Company.

15.   Settlement of Disputes

      15.1  If any disputes arise with regard to the interpretation of any of
            the provisions of this Plan or with regard to the amount of any
            payments due under this Plan and the Agreement, the Committee shall
            make any resolution of such disputes which it deems, in its sole
            discretion, to be in the best interest of the Company and the
            Participants. Any such determinations made by the Committee shall be
            final and binding on all Participants in the Plan.

      15.2  The Committee shall adopt procedures, consistent with Section 503 of
            the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, with respect to

            denied claims.

January 18, 1996


Admiral William A. Owens, USN
Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Quarters 8
Fort Myer, VA 22211

Dear Bill:

Based upon our discussions, I am pleased to offer you a position in the senior
management of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) commencing
March 4, 1996. You will be reporting to me in our San Diego office at a weekly
starting salary of $6,730.77 which is equivalent to a rate of $350,000 per year.

At our January 12, 1996, Board of Directors meeting, you were elected as a Class
III Director and Vice Chairman of the Board effective March 4, 1996. As a Class
III Director, your term of office will continue through July 12, 1996, when we
have our annual stockholders meeting. Your name will be placed in nomination at
that time for a three-year term of office.

Initially, I would like you to work with me and other senior managers to
determine the future strategic business direction of the Company, and to develop
and execute tactical plans to build the Company's business in key areas.
Specifically, I look forward to your playing a major role in expanding our
overseas business and in coordinating internally our joint military activities.
In the latter undertaking, our Military Policy and Operations Research Group
will be available to assist you. You will also assist me in organizing the
Company's structure to best service our customers, and to provide career
recognition to our key managers and employees.

As a senior Manager and Board member, you will also participate in our Executive
Bonus Compensation Plan. The program provides bonus compensation to our
Executive Managers based on performance. Your minimum annual bonus for the first
three years of your employment will be $350,000, with the first payment made in
April 1996. With respect to the first bonus payment, $300,000 of the bonus
payment will be deferred pursuant to the terms of the SAIC Executive Deferred
Stock Compensation Plan.

Your base salary of $350,000 per year and your minimum annual bonuses of
$350,000 are guaranteed for the first three years of your employment ending
February 28, 1999. These payments totaling $2,100,000 are guaranteed unless you
decide to terminate your employment with the Company, or are terminated for
cause. In the event you are terminated at the end of your first three years of
employment with the Company, your SAIC stock will be repurchased. For purposes
of this cash repurchase, the Company will treat all unvested options and stock
that you hold as fully vested on the date of your termination; with the
exception of unvested shares

granted under the Management Stock Compensation Plan. For purposes of this
agreement, termination for cause is defined as an action by you which involves
willful misfeasance or gross negligence in connection with the performance of
your assigned duties, or conviction of a criminal offense. I assume your
discussions with Steve Rabb have familiarized you with the Company's fringe
benefit programs. In addition, you will receive the following executive benefits
from the Company.

               Twenty vacation days per year

               Automobile allowance of $825 per month plus reasonable
               operating expenses

               Reimbursement for reasonable travel and entertainment expenses

               Reimbursement for membership in two social clubs approved by me

               Reimbursement for reasonable relocation expenses incurred
               in your move to San Diego

As we have discussed, I will review and approve on a case by case basis, certain
outside activities which will benefit SAIC, such as speaking engagements and
directorships, and you will be allowed to retain payments for these services
assuming SAIC is not charged for your time and reimbursed for all expenses
incurred related to these activities.

In addition, your employment is contingent upon the following documents being
completed, signed, and returned on your first day of work:

               Invention, Copyright and Confidentiality Agreement

               Education Summary and Pre-Employment Statement

               Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Claims

               Standards of Business Ethics and Conduct Certification

               Employment Eligibility Certification (I-9) (w/required documents)

SAIC has a strong policy against employee use of illegal drugs and substance
abuse. As discussed, your employment offer is contingent upon your successfully
passing a medical laboratory screen for illegal drugs. Although the use of
illegal drugs or substances can be cause for termination should you become
employed by SAIC, it is understood that you or the Company may terminate this
employment relationship at any time with or without cause or notice.

offer are consistent with and permitted by all applicable statutes and

                        AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        THIS AMENDMENT is entered into on March 30, 1998, by and between Science
Applications International Corporation ("SAIC") and William A. Owens ("Owens").

        WHEREAS, SAIC and Owens have heretofore entered into an employment
agreement dated January 18, 1996, (the "Employment Agreement") which provided
for a three-year term of employment ending February 28, 1999; and

        WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement also provided certain remedies for
Owens in the event he was terminated without cause on or before the end of the
three-year term of employment; and

        WHEREAS, SAIC and Owens have agreed that, with the decision of SAIC's
founder to remain active for an additional two years and in the absence of
specific assurances of Owens becoming SAIC's Chief Executive Officer in the near
term, it is not in either party's interests to extend the term of Owens'
employment beyond February 28, 1999; and

        WHEREAS, the parties believe it is in their best interests to effect an
orderly transition upon the termination of the term of the Employment Agreement
and set forth herein any remaining obligations, other than those related to the
protection of SAIC's trade secrets and other proprietary materials, relating to
Owens' employment by SAIC;

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the mutual
promises and covenants set forth below, SAIC and Owens agree to amend the
Employment Agreement by adding the following terms:

        1. On or about March 30, 1998, SAIC and Owens will issue a joint press
release to the effect that, based upon the plans by SAIC's Chief Executive
Officer to continue his term of office for an additional two-year period, Owens
has elected to seek employment elsewhere, as he had joined SAIC with the
expectation that its Chief Executive Officer would have elected to retire by
this time.

        2. Owens will submit his resignation as Vice Chairman and a member of
the SAIC Board of Directors effective as of April 9, 1998, and as President &
Chief Operating Officer effective as of June 1, 1998, but will continue as a
regular full-time employee under the terms set forth below.

        3. During the period of March 24, 1998, through August 1, 1998, Owens
will work with SAIC's management to transition his responsibilities, but he will
also be free to seek alternative employment if it does not unreasonably
interfere with the orderly transition of his responsibilities.

        4. Beginning on August 1, 1998, and continuing through August 1, 1999,
Owens will be free to expend his full time and energies in search of alternative
employment. During said period, and the preceding four-month period, the Company
will provide office space and the support of an administrative assistant to the
extent that Owens needs such services in connection with his employment search.
In connection with Owens' employment search, SAIC's executive officers agree to
provide positive employment references, or to refer any such inquiries to the
Chairman of SAIC's Board of Directors, who will provide positive employment
references, and



                                       1

<PAGE>   5

further agree not to otherwise disparage Owens to any third party.

        5. Regardless of whether Owens has accepted or has begun employment
elsewhere, until August 1, 1999, Owens will continue to be paid his salary of
$33,333 per month (payable in biweekly installments, less taxes and other
applicable withholdings) and continue to receive comprehensive leave accruals,
medical and dental benefits, and retirement plan contributions in accordance
with the tems and conditions of such plans and programs. Owens will also be
eligible to receive a pro rata bonus for his efforts during the period of
February 1, 1998, through August 1, 1998, in an amount not to exceed 50% of his
salary for said period. In the event that Owens has secured another position
prior to August 1, 1999, he may elect to receive the continuing salary described
above as a lump sum payment, less applicable taxes and other withholdings. If
Owens makes such an election, SAIC will no longer be responsible for providing
comprehensive leave, medical and dental benefits, and retirement plan
contributions described above.

        6. SAIC will pay Owens the sum of $140,000 to compensate Owens for the
closing costs, commissions, tax payments, and any loss associated with the sale
of his personal residence. This amount will be payable on August 1, 1998.

        7. On February 1, 1999, with the exception of unvested shares granted
under the Management Stock Compensation Plan, all of Owens' unvested SAIC Class
A Common Stock and options to acquire such stock, will become fully vested. On
or before February 28, 1999, at Owens election, he will be allowed to exercise
any outstanding options he may have to acquire shares of SAIC Class A Common
Stock (Owens currently has options to acquire 95,000 shares) and, provided that
Owens does not disparage SAIC or its executive officers or recruit SAIC
employees, SAIC will allow him to retain the stock realized as option proceeds
as well as any other shares of SAIC Class A Common Stock that he may own at the
time for up to five years under the terms of a contract attached hereto and
identified as Exhibit I.

        8. Owens will remain affiliated with SAIC, provided that Owens does not
disparage SAIC or its executive officers or recruit SAIC employees, until he
reaches the age of 59-1/2 in order to respond to any questions that SAIC
management may have with respect to matters which may have been under his
purview, provided that any such inquiries do not interfere with his then current
employment or involve an unreasonable amount of time. The payments and benefits
provided to Owens herein shall be the compensation for such services. As a
result of his continuing affiliation with and services to SAIC, Owens will be
able to remain a participant in SAIC's Key Executive Deferred Stock Compensation
Plan until he reaches the age of 59-1/2, at which time he will begin receiving
the ten-year distribution of the amounts he has deferred into the Key Executive
Deferred Stock Compensation Plan in accordance with the terms of such plan.

        9. All account balances that Owens may have in SAIC's Management Stock
Compensation Plan, Stock Compensation Plan, Profit Sharing Retirement Plan,
CODA, and Employee Stock Retirement Plan will be governed by the terms of said
plans.

        10.This Amendment is a complete statement of all agreements and
understandings of the parties with respect to the rights and obligations which
Owens and SAIC have to each other with respect to Owens' employment and the
termination of that employment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
continuing obligations that Owens may have to SAIC to protect its trade secrets
and other proprietary materials under separate agreements with SAIC and SAIC's
obligations of indemnity to Owens under its Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws shall not be extinguished by this Amendment. Upon the performance by SAIC
of its obligations to Owens under this Amendment, SAIC shall have no further
obligation or liability to Owens.

                      3.1 Employment and Duties. Officer shall serve as
Bellcore's Chief Executive Officer. Officer's authority shall be superior to
that of all other officers of Bellcore, excluding only the Chairman and
Vice-Chairman of Bellcore's Board of Directors. Officer at all times shall be
subject to the policies and direction of Bellcore's Board of Directors and shall
report to the Chairman of Bellcore's Board of Directors. During Officer's
employment with Bellcore, Officer shall render exclusive and full-time services
to SAIC and Bellcore and shall perform such duties as reasonably may be expected
of the incumbent of his position. Officer further agrees to perform his duties
faithfully, diligently and to the best of his ability and to act solely in the
best interests of Bellcore and SAIC in connection with his employment with
Bellcore. Officer shall not accept or undertake any position as consultant,
director or advisor to any other company,



                                       1

person or business entity or association without the prior written approval of
SAIC's Vice President for Administration.


                  3.2 Employment-At-Will. Officer understands and agrees that he
is an employee-at-will, and that his employment may be terminated by Bellcore at
any time, with or without Cause (as hereinafter defined), subject only to
Bellcore's obligation (if any) to provide those benefits set forth under
paragraph 4.6 hereof.


               4. COMPENSATION.


                  4.1 Inducement Stock Award.


                      (a) Grant of SAIC Common Stock. As consideration (i) for
Officer's agreement to accept employment with Bellcore and for Officer's
performance of the Officer Covenants (as defined in Section 6), and (ii) to
compensate Officer for the loss of vesting stock and options granted or awarded
to Officer by his previous employer, SAIC shall cause to be irrevocably
deposited in trust for the benefit of Officer and his beneficiaries, under the
terms set forth in paragraph 4.1(b) below, vesting shares of SAIC's Class A
Common Stock ("Common Stock") having a value of $1,500,000.00, determined by
reference to the formula price for each share of Common Stock (as determined by
SAIC's Board of Directors) (the "Formula Price") in effect as of the Effective
Date (hereinafter, the "Inducement Stock Award"). (Such trust shall be referred
to hereinafter as the "Rabbi Trust.") The Inducement Stock Award shall be
deposited in the Rabbi Trust within [thirty (30) days] following the Effective
Date.


                      (b) Terms of Rabbi Trust: Distribution. The instrument
governing the Rabbi Trust (hereinafter, the "Trust Instrument"), to the extent
reasonably necessary to assure that SAIC's obligations with respect to the
Inducement Stock Award will continue to be treated as "unfunded" for purposes of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), shall provide that upon insolvency of
SAIC the assets of the Rabbi Trust will be subject to the claims of SAIC's
general creditors. The Trust Instrument shall provide that in other respects the
assets of the Rabbi Trust will be maintained for the exclusive benefit of
Officer and his beneficiaries, and will otherwise be subject to all fiduciary
and other requirements of applicable state trust law. The Trust Instrument shall
provide for the distribution of the Inducement Stock Award in accordance with
its terms and conditions.


                  4.2 Base Salary. Commencing upon the Effective Date, and
continuing until approximately April, 1999 (following completion of SAIC's
fiscal year ending approximately January 31, 1999), as consideration for
performance of Officer's duties as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement,
Bellcore shall pay to Officer a base salary at the rate of $500,000.00 per
annum, which shall be payable in installments in accordance with Bellcore's
standard practices and procedures. Following completion of SAIC's fiscal year
ending approximately January 31, 1999 (in approximately April, 1999), Officer's
base salary shall be re-evaluated and determined by Bellcore's Board of
Directors.

               4.3 Bonus Compensation.


                      (a) Annual Incentive Bonus. Bellcore shall pay to Officer,
with respect to each SAIC fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending
approximately January 31, 1999, an annual incentive bonus in such amount as
shall be determined by Bellcore's Board of Directors, in its sole discretion,
subject to Officer's continued employment on the date such bonus is paid.
Officer's target incentive bonus with respect to each such fiscal year shall be
$500,000.00 per annum ("Target Amount") based upon the attainment of performance
criteria established by SAIC as described in Section 5 of this Agreement.


                      (b) Form of Payment. Officer's annual incentive bonus
shall be paid in (i) cash, (ii) fully vested shares ("Vested Shares"), of Common
Stock, and(or) (iii) vesting shares ("Vesting Shares") of Common Stock, in such
portions as Bellcore's Board of Directors deems appropriate; provided, however,
that (1) not more than fifty percent (50%) of Officer's incentive bonus shall be
paid in cash and (2) not more than fifty percent (50%) of Officer's annual
incentive bonus will be paid in Vesting Shares unless Officer elects in advance
to receive a greater portion of his annual incentive bonus in Vesting Shares.


                      (c) Time of Payment. Officer's annual incentive bonus
shall be paid at such time as SAIC or Bellcore pays annual incentive bonuses to
other similarly situated employees, which customarily occurs within sixty (60)
days following completion of the fiscal year with respect to which such bonuses
relate.


                      (d) Vesting Schedule. Vesting Shares shall be granted in
accordance with the provisions and conditions of the Bellcore Stock Incentive
Plan and shall be subject to Bellcore's standard Bonus Compensation Stock
Restriction Agreement as it may be in effect from time to time ("Restriction
Agreement"), which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.3(d) attached
hereto, and shall vest according to the following schedule: (i) twenty percent
(20%) of such Vesting Shares shall vest upon the first, second and third
anniversaries of the award of such Vesting Shares; and (ii) forty percent (40%)
of such Vesting Shares shall vest upon the fourth anniversary of the award of
such Vesting Shares.


               4.4 Stock Options.


                      (a) Initial Inducement Option Award. As consideration for
Officer's performance of the Officer Covenants, and in order to induce Officer
to accept employment with Bellcore, as soon as practicable following the
Effective Date, SAIC shall grant (or cause Bellcore to grant) to Officer vesting
options to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock ("Vesting Options").


                      (b) Annual Option Award. Concurrently with payment of
Officer's annual bonus for SAIC fiscal year 1999 and for each SAIC fiscal year
thereafter, SAIC shall grant (or cause Bellcore to grant) to Officer additional
Vesting Options in such amounts as SAIC or Bellcore deems appropriate. Officer's
target annual Vesting Option award shall be 30,000 Vesting Options based upon
the attainment of performance criteria established by SAIC and Bellcore pursuant
to Section 6 of this Agreement.



                                       3
<PAGE>   4

                      (c) Option Terms. All Vesting Options shall be awarded in
accordance with SAIC's standard practices and procedures and pursuant to the
provisions of SAIC's 1995 Stock Option Plan, as amended, and shall be subject to
SAIC's standard Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement and Confirmation, as it may
be in effect from time to time ("Standard Option Agreement"), which currently is
in the form of Exhibit 4.4(c) attached hereto. Vesting Options shall vest in
accordance with the provisions of such Standard Option Agreement, which
currently provides that (i) twenty percent (20%) of such Vesting Options shall
vest at the end of each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the
award with respect thereto, and (ii) forty percent (40%) of such Vesting Options
shall vest on the fourth anniversary of such award.


               4.5 Additional Employee Benefits.


                      (a) Relocation Expenses. Officer shall be entitled to
reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with relocation of his family
and principal residence to New Jersey in accordance with SAIC's standard

                      (b) Company Automobile. Bellcore shall provide Officer
with a company vehicle or an automobile allowance in accordance with Bellcore's
officer automobile policy as it may be amended from time to time, but only for
such time as Bellcore continues to maintain such policy.


                      (c) Deferral Programs. Officer shall be entitled to
participate in such salary and (or) bonus deferral plans or programs as may be
maintained by Bellcore during the term of Officer's employment with Bellcore.


                      (d) Health and Welfare Benefits. Except as set forth in
this paragraph 4.5, Officer shall be eligible, during and subsequent to his
employment, only for (i) the standard health and welfare benefits, including
medical, dental, disability and group life and disability insurance, which
generally are made available to all Bellcore employees, and (ii) for such other
employee benefit plans, including Bellcore's non-qualified benefit plans, as are
set forth on Exhibit 4.5(d) or as otherwise may be approved by SAIC in writing.
Officer acknowledges and agrees that only the base salary payable pursuant to
paragraph 4.2 and the cash portion of the annual incentive bonus payable
pursuant to paragraph 4.3 shall be credited for purposes of determining the
benefits payable to Officer under any of Bellcore's pension plans which are set

               4.6 Termination of Employment; Severance Payment.


                      (a) No Termination Allowance Plan Benefits. Officer shall
not be eligible for a payment under Bellcore's Termination Allowance Plan or any
other severance plan or program maintained by Bellcore. In lieu thereof, Officer
will be eligible only for the severance benefits determined under this paragraph
4.6. Upon termination of Officer's employment with Bellcore for any reason, all
rights and entitlements of Officer under this Agreement (other than the right to
receive the severance benefits determined under this paragraph 4.6) immediately
shall terminate.


                      (b) Severance Payments. If, at any time, Officer is
involuntarily terminated without Cause (as defined in paragraph 4.8) or is
subject to Constructive Termination (as defined below), Officer shall be
entitled:


                          (i) to receive a severance payment equal to Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), which shall be payable in twenty-four (24)
equal monthly installments of $83,333.33, and which shall be subject to
deductions and tax withholding pursuant to paragraph 4.7;


                          (ii) to receive an additional severance payment, with
respect to any Vesting Options which have not yet vested as of the date of
termination of Officer's employment with Bellcore ("Unvested Options"), equal to
the product of (A) the amount by which the Formula Price of the Common Stock in
effect as of the date of termination of Officer's employment with Bellcore
exceeds the exercise price of such Unvested Options and (B) the number of shares
of Common Stock covered by such Unvested Options.


                      (c) Rights Upon Termination. Upon any termination of
Officer's employment with Bellcore, for whatever reason, Officer shall be
entitled to:


                          (i) base salary through the date of such termination;


                          (ii) the balance of any incentive and compensation
awards earned and payable (but not yet paid), in accordance with (1) the terms
of the plan or program under which such incentive or compensation awards are
made or (2) Bellcore's custom and practice;


                          (iii) the right to exercise any outstanding stock
options which have vested in accordance with their terms;


                          (iv) rights under any outstanding stock awards which
have vested in accordance with their terms;


                          (v) a lump-sum payment in respect of accrued but
unused vacation days (determined in accordance with Bellcore's standard
practices and procedures) at his base salary rate on the date of such
termination;




                                       5
<PAGE>   6

                          (vi) other benefits (if any), except as provided
herein, in accordance with applicable plans, programs and arrangements of
Bellcore, including COBRA; and


                          (vii) a payment with respect to any Vesting Shares
(but only those Vesting Shares) which Officer has elected to receive or to have
deposited into the Rabbi Trust in lieu of cash or fully vested shares of Common
Stock, specifically including but not limited to Vesting Shares deposited into
the Rabbi Trust with respect to the Inducement Stock Award and Annual Bonus
which Officer has deferred (hereinafter, the "Elective Vesting Stock"), equal to
the product of (A) the Formula Price of Common Stock (in effect as of the date
of termination of Officer's employment with Bellcore) and (B) the number of
shares of Elective Vesting Stock which have not yet vested as of the date of
termination of Officer's employment with Bellcore.


                      (d) Certain Additional Payments by Bellcore.


                          (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by
or on behalf of Bellcore and SAIC (collectively, the "Company") to or for the
benefit of Officer as a result of a Change In Control (as defined below),
whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional
payments required under this paragraph 4.6(d) (a "Payment"), would be subject to
the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), or any interest or penalties are incurred by Officer with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then
Officer shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up
Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Officer of all taxes
(including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including, without limitation, any income taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the
Gross-Up Payment, Officer retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the
Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.


                          (ii) Subject to the provisions of paragraph
4.6(d)(iii) and (iv) below, all determinations required to be made under this
paragraph 4.6(d), including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and
the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in
arriving at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized
accounting firm selected by the Company (the "Accounting Firm"). All fees and
expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Within 30
days after receipt of notice from Officer that there has been a Payment, or such
earlier time as is requested by the Company, the Accounting Firm shall make all
determinations required under this paragraph 4.6(d), shall provide to the
Company and Officer a written report setting forth such determinations, together
with detailed supporting calculations, and, if the Accounting Firm determines
that no Excise Tax is payable, shall deliver the Accounting Opinion to Officer.
Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this paragraph 4.6(d), shall be
paid by the Company to Officer within 30 days after receipt of the Accounting
Firm's determination. Subject to the remainder of this paragraph 4.6(d), any
determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and
Officer; provided, however, that Officer shall only be




                                       6
<PAGE>   7

bound to the extent that the determinations of the Accounting Firm hereunder are
reasonable and reasonably supported by applicable law. As a result of the
uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that
Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the company should have been
made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made
hereunder. If it ultimately is determined in accordance with the procedures set
forth in paragraph 4.6(d)(iii) that Officer is required to make a payment of any
Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall reasonably determine the amount of the
Underpayment (if any) that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Officer. In determining
the reasonableness of Accounting Firm's determinations hereunder, and the effect
thereof, Officer shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review such
determinations with Accounting Firm and Officer's tax counsel.


                          (iii) Officer shall notify the Company in writing of
any claims by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would result in
the imposition of any Excise Tax. Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable but no later than 30 calendar days after Officer actually receives
notice in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of
such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid; provided,
however, that the failure of Officer to Notify the Company of such claim (or to
provide any required information with respect thereto) shall not affect any
rights granted to Officer under this paragraph 4.6(d) except to the extent that
the Company is materially prejudiced in the defense of such claim as a direct
result of such failure. Officer shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration
of the 30-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to the
Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes
with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Officer in writing
prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim,
Officer shall:


                          A. give the company any information reasonably
requested by the Company relating to such claim;


                          B. take such action in connection with contesting such
claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to
such claim by an attorney selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to
Officer


                          C. cooperate with the Company in good faith in order
effectively to contest such claim; and


                          D. if the Company elects not to assume and control the
defense of such claim, permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
relating to such claim; 

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection
with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Officer harmless, on an after-tax
basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with
respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation




                                       7
<PAGE>   8

and payment of costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of
this paragraph 4.6(d), the Company shall have the right, at its sole option, to
assume the defense of and control all proceedings in connection with such
contest, in which case it may pursue of forego any and all administrative
appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in
respect of such claim and may either direct Officer to pay the tax claimed and
sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Officer
agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative
tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate
courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company
directs Officer to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall
advance the amount of such payment to Officer, to the extent not previously
advanced pursuant to this paragraph 4.6(d), on an interest-free basis and shall
indemnify and hold Officer harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax
or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed
with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect
to such advance; and provided further that any extension of the statute of
limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Officer with
respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to
such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company's right to assume the defense of
and control the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a
Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and Officer shall be entitled to
settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal
Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.


                          (iv) If, after the receipt by Officer of an amount
advanced by the Company pursuant to paragraph 4.6(d) Officer becomes entitled to
receive any refund with respect to such claim, Officer promptly shall pay to the
Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid of credited
thereon after taxes applicable thereto). In addition, in the case of any refund
of an advanced amount that Officer is required to repay to the Company pursuant
to the preceding sentence, Officer shall also repay to the Company the amount of
any additional payment received by Officer from the Company in respect of taxes
on such advanced amount, to the extent Officer is entitled to a refund of (or
has yet paid) such taxes. If, after the receipt by Officer of an amount advanced
by the Company pursuant to paragraph 4.6(d)(iii), a determination is made that
Officer is not entitled to a refund with respect to such claim and the Company
does not notify Officer in writing of its intent to contest such denial or
refund prior to the expiration of 60 days after such determination, then such
advance shall, to the extent of such denial, be forgiven and shall not be
required to be repaid and the amount of forgiven advance shall offset, to the
extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.


                          (v) For purposes of this paragraph 4.6(d), Change in
Control will be deemed to have occurred for purposes hereof, if (i) a change of
stock ownership of the Company of a nature that would be required to be reported
in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any successor Item of
a similar nature has occurred; or (ii) the acquisition of beneficial ownership,
directly or indirectly, by any person, other than in the capacity of an
underwriter, (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the
Exchange Act) of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities occurs; or
(iii) during any period of two consecutive years, a majority of the Board of
Directors ceases, for any reason, to consist of Continuing Directors; provided
that a Change In Control will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes hereof
with respect to any




                                       8
<PAGE>   9

person meeting the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As used
herein, "continuing Director" shall mean a member of the Board of Directors (i)
as of the beginning of the relevant two year period or (ii) who was nominated or
appointed (before initial election as a director) to serve as a director by a
majority of the then Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, a Change In Control will not be deemed to have occurred
for purposes hereof when within any 12 month period a majority of the Board of
Directors resigns and the replacement directors (the "New Directors") are
nominated or appointed by the remaining members of the Board of Directors.


                      (e) No Offset. Upon any termination of his employment with
Bellcore, Officer shall be under no obligation to seek employment elsewhere, and
there shall be no offset against amounts due to Officer under this Agreement on
account of any remuneration or other benefit attributable to any subsequent
employment that he may obtain.


                      (f) No Penalty. The parties agree that the amounts payable
to Officer pursuant to this Section 4.6 are in the nature of severance payments
considered to be reasonable by SAIC and Bellcore and are not in the nature of a
penalty.


                      (g) Time For Payment. The payments provided in Section
4.6(b) and 4.6(c) shall be payable to Officer within thirty (30) days following
termination of his employment with Bellcore.


                      (h) Exclusive Remedy. Officer shall be entitled to receive
the severance benefits described in paragraph 4.6(b) only under the
circumstances described in paragraph 4.6(b). Officer's right to receive the
severance payments described in paragraph 4.6(b) and the rights described in
paragraph 4.6(c) shall constitute Officer's sole and exclusive rights and
remedies for and with respect to such termination without Cause or Constructive
Termination.


               4.7 Deductions and Tax Withholding. All payments and benefits
made or provided to Officer pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all
customary deductions and withholding, including, without limitation, withholding
for Social Security and other federal, state and local taxes, as Bellcore and
SAIC reasonably shall determine.


               4.8 For Cause Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, an
event or occurrence constituting "Cause" for termination shall include the
following:


                      (a) Failure of Officer either (1) substantially to perform
the employment duties and responsibilities assigned to him by Bellcore's Board
of Directors or (2) to comply with reasonable requests made by SAIC or Bellcore
which are materially related to Officer's performance of his employment duties
and responsibilities, in either case after being given written notice of and a
reasonable opportunity to cure such failure, if curable; or


                      (b) Officer engages in conduct that (i) is illegal or that
contributes willful gross neglect or willful gross misconduct (including without
limitation sexual harassment, race,



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

sex or age discrimination or intentional fraud) and (ii) that results in
material harm to Bellcore or SAIC; or


                      (c) Drunkenness or use of drugs or any controlled
substance which (1) interferes with Employee's ability to perform any of his
duties and responsibilities to SAIC or Bellcore, or (2) violates SAIC's
Administrative Policy A-18 "Drug and Substance Abuse," a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.8(c); or


                      (d) Officer's conviction of a felony or of any crime
involving fraud or misrepresentation.


               4.9 Constructive Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "Constructive Termination" shall mean a termination of Officer's employment
with Bellcore at his initiative following the occurrence, without his prior
written consent, of (1) a reduction of Officer's then current base salary (other
than as part of an across-the-board reduction applicable to Bellcore's senior
management officers), or (2) the material diminution of Officer's
responsibilities, as they exist on the date of execution of this Agreement;
provided, however, that:


                      (a) Officer specifically acknowledges and agrees that
removal of Officer as Chief Executive Officer of Bellcore shall not constitute
Constructive Termination of Officer if SAIC assigns Officer duties and

               6.5 Intellectual Property.


                      (a) Assignment of Inventions. Officer hereby assigns and
agrees to assign to Bellcore, its successors and assigns, all his right, title
and interest in and to all inventions, discoveries, improvements, ideas,
computer or other apparatus programs and related documentation, and other works
of authorship (hereinafter, "innovations"), whether or not patentable,
copyrightable or susceptible to other forms of protection which, during the
period of his employment with Bellcore or by its successors in business, he has
made, conceived, created or developed, either solely or jointly with others, in
the course of such employment or with the use of Bellcore's time, material or
facilities, or relating to any subject matter with which Bellcore is then
actively involved.


                      (b) Disclosure. Officer further agrees, without charge to
Bellcore, but at its expense: (i) promptly to disclose any such innovations,
(ii) promptly, upon request, to execute a specific assignment to Bellcore of all
rights, title and interest to such innovations, including priority rights
arising from patent applications, and (iii) to do anything else legally and
ethically required to secure patents, copyrights or other forms of protection
for such innovations in the United States, and in other countries, both during
and after his employment with Bellcore.


               6.6 Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If Officer breaches, or
threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of Section 6 of this
Agreement ("Officer Covenants"), Bellcore shall have the following rights and
remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other
and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to SAIC
or Bellcore under law or in equity:


                      (a) The right and remedy to have the Officer Covenants
specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being
acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause
irreparable injury to SAIC and Bellcore and that money damages will not provide
adequate remedy to SAIC or Bellcore; and


                      (b) The right and remedy to require Officer to account for
and pay over to SAIC or Bellcore all compensation, profits, monies, accruals,
increments or other benefits

breach of any of the Officer Covenants.


               6.7 Severability of Covenants; Blue-Penciling. The parties
acknowledge and agree that the Officer Covenants are reasonable and necessary,
in light of (i) Officer's unique position, responsibility and knowledge of the
operations of Bellcore, (ii) the global nature of Bellcore's and SAIC's
businesses, and (iii) the unfair advantage that Officer's knowledge and
expertise concerning Bellcore and its business would afford to a Conflicting
Organization. In addition, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Officer
Covenants will not impair Officer's ability to earn a livelihood, particularly
in view of the substantial payments to be made hereunder. Nevertheless, if any
court determines that any of the Officer Covenants, or any part thereof, is
unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such provision,
such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such
provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision then
shall be enforceable and shall be enforced. Furthermore, if any court determines
that any of the Officer Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of the Officer Covenants shall not thereby be
affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.


          7. SAIC Guarantee. SAIC unconditionally guarantees prompt performance
of Bellcore's obligations under this Agreement.


          8. Non-Disclosure Agreement. The terms of this Agreement, including
but not limited to the nature and amounts of any compensation or benefits in the

not disclosed to anyone or any entity except each party may disclose same to
their respective attorneys, financial advisors and governmental entities which
have a need to know such information. Bellcore may also disclose such
information to its Board of Directors.


          9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall contain the final, complete
and exclusive agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof. It may not be modified orally, but only by a written
agreement signed by all parties hereto. If and to the extent any provision of
this Agreement is in conflict or inconsistent with any of the employee benefit
plans identified in Exhibit 4.5(d), this Agreement shall govern and control.


          10. Controlling Law. All questions concerning the validity and
operation of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations imposed upon
the parties. hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey.


          11. Assignments. Bellcore and SAIC each shall have the right to assign
this Agreement and to delegate all rights, duties and obligations hereunder, to
any affiliate, successor or subsidiary of Bellcore or SAIC. except for SAIC's
guarantee pursuant to Section 7 hereof, which shall continue in the event of any
such assignment. Officer agrees that this Agreement is personal to him and his
rights and interest hereunder may not be assigned, nor may his obligations and
duties hereunder be delegated.

<PAGE>   15

          12. Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. Each and all of the several rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement, or by law or in equity, shall be
cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and the exercise of any one of such rights or remedies shall not be deemed a
waiver or, or an election to exercise, any other such right or remedy. No waiver
of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any
other term or condition; nor shall any waiver of any default hereunder be
construed as a waiver of any other default hereunder.


          13. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given if delivered by hand, telecopy or mailed, certified or
registered mail with postage prepaid to the address for each party set forth on

          14. Representation By Counsel; Interpretation. Each party to this

relationships contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or
any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities

expressly waived. The captions and headings to the paragraphs and sections of
this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be considered in
interpreting this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be

                 BONUS COMPENSATION STOCK RESTRICTION AGREEMENT

THIS BONUS COMPENSATION STOCK RESTRICTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered
into by and between SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation ("SAIC" or "Company"), and the undersigned ("Stockholder"), who is
affiliated with Company or a subsidiary of Company ("Subsidiary") as an employee
or director. 

WHEREAS, subject to the stockholder executing and returning this agreement to
the Company's Stock Programs Department within 120 days from the Commencement
Date, the Company has agreed to provide the above stated number of shares SAIC
Class A Common Stock ("Bonus Stock") to the Stockholder pursuant to the
Company's 1984 Bonus Compensation Plan and Stockholder has agreed that the
ownership interest in such stock shall be subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the
parties have agreed to the following:

                   1. VESTING SCHEDULE. In the event Stockholder's affiliation
with Company or any of its subsidiaries as an employee or director is
terminated, for any reason, including death, any unvested shares of Bonus Stock
shall automatically revert to Company without compensation as of the date of
such termination of affiliation in accordance with the following vesting
schedule:

                   (a)   Prior to the first-year anniversary of the Commencement
                         Date of this Agreement, all of the Bonus Stock shall be
                         subject to reversion.

                   (b)   After the first-year anniversary of the Commencement
                         Date, 20% of the Bonus Stock shall be vested and the
                         balance shall be subject to reversion.

                   (c)   After the second-year anniversary of the Commencement
                         Date, an additional 20% of the Bonus Stock shall be
                         vested and the balance shall be subject to reversion

                   (d)   After the third-year anniversary of the Commencement
                         Date, an additional 20% of the Bonus Stock shall be
                         vested and the balance shall be subject to reversion

                   (e)   After the fourth-year anniversary of the Commencement
                         Date, the final 40% of said Stock shall be vested.

The Company does not issue fractional shares and if the application of the
foregoing vesting schedule results in a fraction of a share being vested, such
fractional share shall be deemed to be subject to reversion. Stockholder shall
not sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, pledge, grant a security interest in,
or in any other way alienate any of the Bonus Stock, or any interest or right
therein, which is subject to reversion to Company. If shares of Bonus Stock
revert in accordance with the foregoing vesting schedule, such shares shall
automatically be deemed to have been transferred to Company, shall no longer be
outstanding and all rights of Stockholder shall immediately terminate with
respect to such shares. In the event of such reversion, Stockholder agrees to
promptly return the stock certificates(s) that includes the reverted shares to
Company. Upon return of such stock certificate(s), Company will issue a new
stock certificate to Stockholder for the vested shares, if any, and to the
extent that they are not repurchased by Company pursuant to its right to
repurchase as set forth in Article Fourth of the Company's Restated Certificate
of Incorporation. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Stockholder has not returned such stock
certificate(s) within sixty(60) days following the date the Bonus Stock reverted
to Company, in whole or in part, Stockholder hereby appoints Company or its
agents to take all such action needed to effect the cancellation of such stock
certificate(s).

                  2. FORFEITURE OF STOCK. In the event Stockholder fails to
execute and return this agreement within 120 days from the Commencement Date,
the shares granted pursuant to this agreement shall be forfeited.

                  3. RIGHTS, RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. All shares of Bonus
Stock issued to Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the
rights, restrictions and limitations set forth in Article Fourth of the 
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

                  4. RESTRICTIONS UNDER SECURITIES LAW. All shares of Bonus
Stock covered by this Agreement are subject to any restrictions which may be
imposed under applicable state and federal securities laws and are subject to
obtaining all necessary consents which may be required by, or any condition
which may be imposed in accordance with, applicable state and federal securities
laws or regulations.

                  5. INVESTMENT. Stockholder agrees that any and all shares of
Bonus Stock acquired hereunder shall be acquired for investment and not for
distribution.

                  6. EMPLOYMENT AT WILL. Stockholder's employment with Company
is not for any specified term and may be terminated by Stockholder or Company at
any time for any reason. Stockholder further acknowledges that this Agreement,
despite the fact Stockholder is required to hold the Bonus Stock not yet vested
for up to four years, does not constitute a promise or commitment by Company
regarding any future employment, work assignments, compensation, or any other
term or condition of employment.

                  7. CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS. The formula price and number of shares
shall be appropriately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
shares of stock which Company has issued and outstanding 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.

of the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement shall be

Agreement constitutes an unequivocal acceptance of this Agreement and any
attempted modification or deletion will have no force and effect upon the
Company's right to enforce the terms and conditions heretofore stated.

be cumulative. Optionee may buy all, or from time to time, any part of the
maximum number of Option Shares which are then exercisable, but in no case may
Optionee exercise the option in regard to any fraction of a share. Except as set
forth in Section 4(c) below, this option shall be exercisable only by Optionee.

4. TERMINATION OF OPTION. If Optionee shall cease to be affiliated with the
Company or a Subsidiary as an employee, director or consultant, this option
shall terminate in accordance with the following:

     (a)  If Optionee ceases to be affiliated with the Company or a Subsidiary
          and such affiliation ceases for any reason other than death,
          retirement or permanent total disability, Optionee may exercise this
          option within the thirty (30) day period following such cessation of
          affiliation, but only to the extent that this option was exercisable
          at the date of such cessation of affiliation.

     (b)  If Optionee is an employee and ceases to be affiliated with the
          Company or a Subsidiary and such affiliation ceases as a result of
          Optionee's normal retirement, permanent total disability or early
          retirement under the terms of a retirement or pension plan maintained
          by the Company or a Subsidiary and in which Optionee is a participant,
          Optionee may exercise this option within the ninety (90) day period
          following such cessation of affiliation, but only to the extent that
          this option



                                       2

<PAGE>   21

          was exercisable at the date of such cessation of affiliation.

     (c)  If Optionee ceases to be affiliated with the Company or a Subsidiary
          and such affiliation ceases as a result of Optionee's death, this
          option may be exercised within the one (1) year period following such
          death, and then only by the beneficiary designated by Optionee or by
          the person or persons to whom Optionee's rights under this option
          shall pass by Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and
          distribution, but only to the extent that this option was exercisable
          at the date of Optionee's death.

     (d)  If Optionee is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and is on a
          leave of absence pursuant to the terms of The Company's Administrative
          Policy No. B-11 "Unpaid Personal Leave of Absence", Optionee shall not
          during the period of such absence be deemed, by virtue of such absence
          alone, to have terminated Optionee's employment with the Company or a
          Subsidiary. Unless Optionee is on a Medical Leave (as hereinafter
          defined), all rights which Optionee would have had to exercise the
          option will be suspended during the period of such leave of absence.
          Upon Optionee's return to the Company or a Subsidiary, all rights to
          exercise the option shall be restored to the extent the option is
          exercisable at that time. If Optionee is on a Medical Leave, Optionee
          shall have all rights to exercise the option that Optionee would have
          had if Optionee were not on a Medical Leave. For purposes of this
          Section 4(d), "Medical Leave" shall be defined as a leave of absence
          for medical reasons which shall begin after ninety-one (91)
          consecutive calendar days of total disability leave and shall remain
          in effect until the earlier of a release by the attending physician
          for Optionee to return to work or until the termination of employment.

     (e)  If any portion of the option granted hereunder is not exercised by the
          end of the applicable period specified in (a), (b) or (c) of this
          Section 4, any such unexercised portion and all of Optionee's rights
          with respect thereto shall terminate at the end of such period. In no
          event shall this option or any portion thereof be exercisable beyond
          the five (5) year term stated in Section 2.

5. RIGHTS, RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. All shares of stock issued upon the
exercise of this option are subject to the rights, restrictions and limitations
set forth in Article Fourth of the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended.

compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation.

1.0       PURPOSE:

          To achieve a work force and a work environment free of illicit drugs
          and substance abuse by establishing a strong policy against such
          practices. The risk to national security, employee safety, and
          corporate integrity associated with illicit drugs and substance abuse
          is especially high because of the nature of the Company's business and
          its employee ownership base. These risks can be lowered and the
          interests of employee shareholders better protected by implementing a
          responsible program for the prevention of illicit use of drugs and
          substance abuse.

2.0       SCOPE:

          This policy applies to all employees of Science Applications
          International Corporation (SAIC) and its subsidiaries.

3.0       POLICY:

          SAIC expects employees to refrain from the illicit use of drugs and
          substance abuse. Such practices are contrary to the protection of
          national security, the maintenance of health and safety of the work
          force, and the performance of superior work expected of all SAIC
          employees. SAIC encourages employees engaged in the illicit use of
          drugs or substance abuse to obtain treatment or seek employment
          elsewhere. Employees found to be involved with illicit drugs or
          substance abuse will be subject to disciplinary action up to and
          including termination of employment. The use of alcohol in conjunction
          with company functions in a manner that encourages abuse or endangers
          persons or property is prohibited.

4.0       DEFINITIONS:

          4.1 ILLICIT DRUGS refers to substances controlled under the Federal
          Controlled Substances Act as amended.

          4.2 INVOLVEMENT WITH ILLICIT DRUGS refers to the possession, purchase,
          sale, or exchange of illicit drugs; to the illegal or non-prescription
          use of illicit drugs; or to the presence of illicit drugs in any
          screening performed under this policy.

          4.3 SUBSTANCE ABUSE refers to the excessive use or misuse of any drug,
          including prescription drugs, or alcohol in a manner that has an
          adverse impact on job performance.

                                                                 5/15/95
J.D. HEIPT, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT-ADMINISTRATION                 PAGE 2 OF 5

          4.4       SCREENING refers to the process by which an individual
                    demonstrates the absence (or presence) of illicit drugs in
                    his or her body by submitting, through procedures prescribed
                    by SAIC, a urine sample for illicit drug testing by an
                    independent laboratory designated by SAIC. Any specimen
                    designated as positive must have been evaluated by at least
                    two analytically distinct methodologies.

          4.5       FITNESS FOR DUTY EXAMINATION refers to an examination
                    conducted by an SAIC approved medical doctor who has the
                    discretion as to which test(s) to administer to determine
                    what drug or substance, if any, the employee is using. These
                    tests include, but are not limited to, physical examination,
                    blood alcohol test, urinalysis, and/or breathalyzer.

5.0       EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:

          It is SAIC's desire to assist those who may be involved with illicit
          drug use or substance abuse to refrain from such activity. In this
          connection, SAIC has established and maintains an Employee Assistance
          Program (EAP) as an adjunct to the SAIC Medical Benefits Plan for the
          purpose of providing confidential professional assistance to employees
          and members of their families concerning personal or emotional
          problems. These include drug and substance abuse. Voluntary submission
          for counseling or treatment through the EAP will be a private matter
          between the employee and the treatment provider unless the employee
          specifically authorizes the release of this confidential information
          to his or her supervisor. However, participation in a treatment or
          recovery program will not relieve an employee from the requirement of
          satisfactory job performance. The Company will provide management
          training in the procedures for identifying and referring to the EAP
          employees who might be suffering from personal problems that could
          signal possible substance abuse.

6.0       PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING:

          6.1       All offers of SAIC employment will be contingent on the
                    applicant's complying with SAIC's screening requirements.

          6.2       Prospective employees who fail the pre-employment screening
                    are not eligible to become affiliated with SAIC as
                    consultants, temporaries, payrollees, or other employee
                    leasing agencies.

J.D. HEIPT, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT-ADMINISTRATION                 PAGE 3 OF 5

          6.3       Pre-employment screening will not be applicable in the case
                    of individuals who become employed by SAIC as a result of a
                    merger or acquisition of a business or enterprise.

          6.4       Pre-employment screening may be applicable in the case of
                    individuals who are employed by SAIC in a foreign country
                    where such testing is contractually required and not
                    otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

7.0       EMPLOYEE SCREENING:

          7.1       SAIC employees and affiliated personnel such as consultants,
                    payrollees, temporaries, or other employee leasing agencies
                    will be subject to screening when required by SAIC Company
                    Policy, federal law, regulations, executive orders, or by
                    the terms of contracts entered into by SAIC. Detailed
                    procedures implementing such requirements will be provided
                    to affected operations as appropriate.

          7.2       Any employee who refuses to comply with a properly
                    authorized screening requirement under 7.1 will be
                    ineligible to work in positions subject to such
                    requirements. If no suitable alternative work assignment is
                    available, the employee will be subject to layoff. Any
                    employee who fails to pass a screening requirement under 7.1
                    will be ineligible to remain in any position subject to such
                    screening requirement and will be subject to disciplinary
                    action up to and including termination of employment.

          7.3       Any employee who is suspected of being involved with drug or
                    substance abuse under 8.1 may be instructed to submit to a
                    fitness for duty examination. The examining physician will
                    be informed of the reasons for the referral of the employee
                    by the referring SAIC manager. Based upon the examination
                    and/or test results, the medical doctor will render an
                    opinion whether the employee is fit for duty. Any employee
                    who fails to pass a screening and/or fitness for duty
                    examination requirement under 8.1 may be ineligible to
                    remain in his or her position and will be subject to
                    disciplinary action up to and including termination of
                    employment. Should an employee, who is suspected of being
                    involved with drug or substance abuse under 8.1, refuse to
                    submit to a fitness for duty examination, management will be
                    forced to determine what disciplinary action, if any, is
                    appropriate based on information then available, including
                    any documentation of employee's refusal to submit to an
                    examination.

8.0       REASONABLE SUSPICION SCREENING:

          8.1       Screening, which may include a fitness for duty examination,
                    will be required of an existing employee when, at the
                    determination of SAIC management in coordination with the
                    Regional/Sector/Group Human Resource office, Corporate Human
                    Resources, and the Legal Department, reasonable suspicion
                    exists that an employee may be involved with illicit drugs
                    or may be under the influence of illicit drugs or substance
                    abuse while at work. Such suspicion is determined on a
                    case-by-case basis in regard to the specific facts and
                    circumstances involved. Reasonable suspicion may be inferred
                    from, among other things:

                    8.1.1     Involvement by the employee in a work place
                              accident or an incident or other circumstances
                              which resulted in, or could have resulted in,
                              personal injury or damage to property, and in
                              which a supervisory employee reasonably suspects
                              that the employee was impaired by illicit drugs or
                              substance abuse at the time the acts or omissions
                              contributed to the occurrence of the accident,
                              incident, circumstances; or

                    8.1.2     Evidence of illicit drug involvement or behavior
                              of an employee which causes a supervisory employee
                              to have reasonable belief, based upon observation
                              of the employee's speech, hearing, motor
                              coordination, judgment, appearance, odors, or
                              other observable factors, that the employee is
                              impaired by illicit drugs or substance abuse. In
                              all instances where this belief is based primarily
                              on second party observation, the supervisor shall
                              make every reasonable effort to confirm these
                              observations directly.

9.0       FOLLOW-UP SCREENING:

          Screening may be requested by an employee or may be required of an
          employee by SAIC management as part of an abatement or a
          rehabilitation/counseling treatment program for substance abuse. Such
          follow-up screening may be on an unannounced schedule for a period of
          time specified as part of the abatement or rehabilitation/counseling
          treatment program.

10.0      RESCREENING:

          Any individual whose drug test screens positive for illicit drug
          content may request, through Corporate Human Resources, a written copy
          of the test results. The individual may also request that the same

11.0      SPECIMEN ADULTERATION:

          Any individual whose urine specimen test result indicates that it has
          been adulterated or diluted will be deemed to have failed to comply
          with the screening requirement and to have failed to pass the required
          screening.

12.0      CONFIDENTIALITY:

          All information and records concerning individual screening results
          shall be kept confidential and maintained separate from employee
          personnel files. Only the designated senior personnel managers and
          other members of management with a need to know shall have access to
          individual screening results.

13.0      RIGHT OF SEARCH ON COMPANY PROPERTY:

          SAIC reserves the right to enter, search, and inspect all personal
          hand-carried articles as well as Company property, including but not
          limited to lockers, desks, Company vehicles, and any materials
          transmitted in Company mail or shipment channels, whether sealed or
          locked, at any time, without the employee's specific consent.

SAIC EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES

1.        DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION

          Any party to an Arbitration Agreement may initiate arbitration by
          serving upon the other party, either personally or by mail, a
          completed Mediation/Arbitration Request Form (Attachment A to the SAIC
          Employee Dispute Resolution Guide). (See Rule 7[K] hereof). A copy of
          the Mediation/Arbitration Request Form must be promptly sent by SAIC
          to the appropriate AAA office. If on the date, the Mediation/
          Arbitration Request Form is received by SAIC, any claim, if asserted
          in a civil action, would have been barred by the applicable Statute of
          Limitations, then the claim shall be deemed barred for purposes of
          arbitration.

          An arbitration also is initiated by the receipt by AAA of an order
          from a court compelling arbitration. For purposes of the Statute of
          Limitations, the arbitration is deemed initiated as of the date of
          issuance of the court order, not any other date (such as the date of
          the commencement of the judicial proceedings that led to the order).

2.        SELECTING THE ARBITRATOR

          Promptly upon receipt of the completed Mediation/Arbitration Request
          Form, AAA will provide each party with an identical list of seven (7)
          prospective arbitrators from its panel of labor and employment
          arbitrators. (For purposes of arbitrator selection, all defendants,
          whether or not separately represented, shall be deemed to be one
          party). Within fifteen (15) working days from receipt of the AAA list,
          the parties or their representatives will meet or participate in a
          teleconference to select an arbitrator in the following manner. Each
          party shall alternately strike the name of any arbitrator on the list
          to which it objects. The party initiating the claim will strike first.
          If a party does not timely participate in such meeting or
          teleconference, all persons on the list will be deemed acceptable to
          the non-responding party. If after striking, no mutually acceptable
          arbitrator exists, a new list of seven (7) prospective arbitrators
          shall be issued by AAA. Each party shall alternately strike one of the
          arbitrators from the list until only one arbitrator remains. The party
          asserting the claim will strike first. If the arbitrator named
          declines or is or becomes unable to serve, or if for any reason the
          appointment cannot be made from the submitted lists, the selection
          process shall be repeated from the beginning.

3.        HEARING DATE

          The arbitrator will promptly set a hearing date and time and will mail
          written notice to each of the parties at least sixty (60) days in
          advance of the hearing unless the parties otherwise agree or mutually
          waive notice.

4.        ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE (AS NECESSARY)

          Once an arbitrator is selected, the parties may request or the
          arbitrator may require one or more administrative conference(s). Such
          conference is for the purpose of setting procedure, managing
          discovery, exchanging witness and expert lists, narrowing the issues
          in dispute, or such other matters as may be deemed necessary or
          expedient by the arbitrator for the efficient administration and
          hearing of the dispute.

          In complex cases, the arbitrator will assist the parties in defining
          the issues and obtaining stipulations where possible.

          current AAA employment arbitration filing fee. The schedule showing
          the AAA employment arbitration filing fees in effect on January 31,

                     FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        That certain Employment Agreement dated December 18, 1997 ("Employment
Agreement"), by and among Science Applications International Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("SAIC"), Bell Communications Research, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Bellcore"), and Richard C. Smith ("Officer"), is hereby amended by
this First Amendment to Employment Agreement dated February 2, 1998 ("First
Amendment") in the following particulars only:

        1. Effective Date. The Effective Date of the Employment Agreement was
January 5, 1998.

        2. Inducement Stock Award. Paragraph 4.1 of the Employment Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                4.1 Inducement Stock Award.


                        (a) Grant of SAIC Common Stock. As consideration (i) for
                Officer's agreement to accept employment with Bellcore and for
                Officer's performance of the Officer Covenants (as defined in
                Section 6), and (ii) to compensate Officer for the loss of
                vesting stock and options granted or awarded to Officer by his
                previous employer, SAIC shall cause to be irrevocably deposited
                in trust for the benefit of Officer and his beneficiaries, under
                the terms set forth in paragraph 4.1(b) below, vesting shares of
                SAIC's Class A Common Stock ("Common Stock") having a value of
                $1,500,000.00, determined by reference to the formula price for
                each share of Common Stock (as determined by SAIC's Board of
                Directors) (the "Formula Price") in effect as of the Effective
                Date (hereinafter, the "Inducement Stock Award"). (Such trust
                shall be referred to hereinafter as the "Rabbi Trust.") The
                Inducement Stock Award shall be deposited in the Rabbi Trust
                within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date.


                        (b) Terms of Rabbi Trust: Distribution. The instrument
                governing the Rabbi Trust (hereinafter, the "Trust Instrument"),
                to the extent reasonably necessary to assure that SAIC's
                obligations with respect to the Inducement Stock Award will
                continue to be treated as "unfunded" for purposes of the
                Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and the
                Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), shall
                provide that upon insolvency of SAIC the assets of the Rabbi
                Trust will be subject to the claims of SAIC's general creditors.
                The Trust Instrument shall provide that in other respects the
                assets of the Rabbi Trust attributable to the Inducement Stock
                Award will be maintained for the exclusive benefit of Officer
                and his beneficiaries, and will otherwise be subject to all
                fiduciary and other



                                       1

<PAGE>   33

                requirements of applicable state trust law. The Trust Instrument
                shall provide for the distribution of the Inducement Stock Award
                in accordance with its terms and conditions.


        3. Inducement Stock Options. Paragraph 4.4(a) of the Employment
Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence to the end of
Paragraph 4.4(a):


           Such Vesting Options will provide for an exercise price at the
           Formula Price in effect on the date they are issued.


        4. Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signature by telecopy
shall be sufficient to evidence a party's intention to be bound hereby, provided
that such party forwards his or her original signature to the other parties by
first class mail or overnight delivery service.

        5. Legal Effect. Except as amended by this First Amendment, the
Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

        6. Governing Law. This First Amendment and the legal relations among the
parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
New Jersey.


        7. Headings. The headings of the Sections and Articles of this First
Amendment are inserted for convenience only and shall not constitute a part
hereof or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this First
Amendment.


        8. Representation by Counsel; Interpretation. Each party to this First
Amendment has been represented by counsel or has had the opportunity to review
this First Amendment and to discuss the transactions contemplated hereby with
counsel of its choice. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that
would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this First Amendment
against the party that drafted it has no application and any such right is
expressly waived. The provisions of this First Amendment shall be interpreted in
a reasonable manner to effect the intent of the parties hereto.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Committee and Participants of the Science
Applications International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan:

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Science Applications International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase
Plan at January 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE A - PLAN DESCRIPTION

      The Science Applications International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "Plan") is a three year plan the purpose of which is to secure for
Science Applications International Corporation (the "Company") and its
stockholders the benefits inherent in the ownership of capital stock of the
Company by employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan is intended
to provide to all eligible employees of the Company and designated subsidiaries
an opportunity to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock through payroll
deductions. It is intended that the Plan shall qualify under Section 423(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code. The 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan became
effective on July 14, 1995. The Plan is a successor plan to the 1993 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan which terminated on July 31, 1995. All shares purchased
under the 1993 Plan were distributed to participants or repurchased by the
Company. The plans are substantially similar except for the number of shares
reserved for issuance. The financial statements reflect the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the 1995 Plan
as well as the 1993 Plan. Each participant is furnished with a copy of the
complete Plan before electing to participate in the Plan.

      Science Applications International Corporation is the Trustee under the
Plan. No trustee fees have ever been paid by the Plan. No bonds of any nature
are furnished to the Plan by the Trustee, its officers or employees. The Plan is
administered by the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Committee (the "Committee")
whose members are appointed by the Company's Board of Directors to serve at the
discretion of the Board. The members of the Committee do not act in the capacity
of trustees. The members of the Committee receive no compensation from the Plan
for services rendered in connection therewith. The members of the committee as
of January 31, 1998 are A. Jenings, W. Reed, and W.A. Roper. The Plan is not
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

      At predetermined purchase dates during the year, the Trustee purchases for
the account of each participant the whole number of shares of the Company's
Class A Common Stock (the "Common Stock") which may be acquired from funds
available in the participant's Stock Purchase Account, together with the
Company's contribution as described below. The authority to control and manage
the operation and administration of the Plan is vested in the Committee.
Generally, all employees of the Company and its affiliates who have adopted the
Plan are eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees may contribute to the
Plan by authorizing payroll deductions in amounts equal to 3% or more, up to a
maximum of 10%, of their base compensation. These contributions are allocated to
the Stock Purchase Accounts of the respective participants. No interest is paid
on amounts in the participants' Stock Purchase Accounts.


                                      F - 5

      There is no general public market for the Common Stock. However, the
Company has established and maintains a limited secondary market for the Common
Stock through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bull, Inc. This limited market
permits stockholders to sell stock to employees, consultants, and directors of
the Company who have been approved by the Board of Directors or the Operating
Committee of the Board of Directors as being entitled to purchase an equity
interest in the Company. All purchases of SAIC's Common Stock are made either in
the limited secondary market or from the Company.

      The purchase price to be paid for shares of Common Stock is the prevailing
fair market value (Note B). In 1996, the Company paid or accrued 5% of the
purchase price and the remaining 95% was paid out of participant contributions.
In April 1997 the Board of Directors authorized an increase in company
contributions to 10% of the purchase price. The remaining 90% is paid out of the
participant contributions. A participant is not entitled to purchase an amount
of Common Stock having a fair market value, as measured on its purchase date, in
excess of 10% or $25,000 in any calendar year pursuant to the Plan and any other
employee stock purchase plans which may be adopted by the Company.

      A participant's interest in his account is 100% vested at all times.
Shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan will be distributed to the
participant prior to any record date established by the Company for any vote of
its stockholders. Until distribution occurs, the shares are held by the Company,
acting as Trustee, on behalf of the participants. Each participant is furnished
with a statement of accounting at the time of any distribution.

      All shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Plan are subject to
the Company's right of repurchase upon the participant's termination of
employment or affiliation with the Company. The repurchase price is the
prevailing Formula Price at that time. Such shares are also subject to the
Company's right of first refusal in the event that the participant desires to
sell such shares other than in the limited market.

      Participants may withdraw the money held in their Stock Purchase Accounts
at any time prior to the acquisition of shares of Common Stock therewith,
although upon doing so the participant will no longer be eligible to re-enroll
until the beginning of the next applicable plan year.

      The 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on July 31, 1998.
From Plan inception through January 31, 1998, 872,847 shares of Common Stock
were purchased by the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

      The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

Investment valuation and income, gains, and losses

      The fair value of Common Stock is determined using the fair market value
pursuant to a stock price formula and valuation process which includes an
appraisal prepared by an independent appraisal firm. Periodic determinations of
fair market value of the Common Stock are made by the Board of Directors, with
the assistance of the independent appraisal firm. The Board of Directors
reserves the right to alter the formula. Realized gains and losses on Common
Stock are the difference between the fair market value when distributed and the
original cost of the shares of Common Stock purchased during the year or the
fair market value of shares held at the beginning of the year. Unrealized
appreciation or depreciation is computed as the fair market value of the Common
Stock held at the end of the year less the fair market value of the Common Stock
held at the beginning of the year or acquisition cost of Common Stock acquired
during the year. As of January 31, 1998 and 1997, the fair market value per
share was $39.13 and $25.96, respectively, for Class A Common Stock. The number
of shares held by the Plan was 257,053 and 234,693 on January 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Benefits distributable

      Investments in Common Stock are distributed from the Plan prior to any
record date established by the Company for any vote of its stockholders.
Benefits distributable at January 31, 1998 and 1997 were $10,059,000 and
$6,093,000, respectively.

Administrative expenses of the Plan

      All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid out of
the Plan assets unless the Company elects to pay such costs. During Plan years
ended January 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the Company paid all administrative
expenses of the Plan.

Use of estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Contributions

      Participant contributions are accrued when the participant earns the
compensation from which the contribution is made. Employer contributions are
accrued when the corresponding participant's contributions are accrued. 


                                     F - 7
<PAGE>   10
NOTE C - TAX STATUS AND FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO PARTICIPANTS

      The Plan is not subject to federal income taxes and is intended to qualify
under Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

      No taxable income will be recognized by a participant in the Plan until
the taxable year of sale or certain other dispositions of the shares of Common
Stock acquired under the Plan.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





To the Retirement Plans Committee
and Participants of the Science Applications
International Corporation Cash or Deferred Arrangement

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Science Applications International Corporation Cash or Deferred
Arrangement (the Plan) at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedules I through III is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional
information required by ERISA. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE 1 - PLAN DESCRIPTION

GENERAL

The Science Applications International Corporation Cash or Deferred Arrangement
(the "Plan" or "CODA") was established on September 18, 1982 and became
effective January 1, 1983. The authority to administer the Plan is vested in the
Retirement Plans Committee (the "Committee") whose members are the Named
Fiduciaries for purposes of Section 402(a) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended. Generally, employees of Science Applications
International Corporation (the "Company" or "SAIC") and its subsidiaries are
eligible to participate in the Plan upon commencing employment, except for
employees in groups or units designated as ineligible. The following description
of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

The Plan consists of a Deferred Fund which is the fund in which assets acquired
by the Plan in its function as a qualified Cash or Deferred Arrangement are held
and accounted for. The Plan permits participants to elect to defer up to 18% of
their eligible compensation, as defined, for the Plan year and to have such
deferred amount contributed directly by the Company to the Deferred Fund for the
benefit of the participants. Such contributions are limited under Section 402(g)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") to $9,500 for the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1996. Amounts deferred by participants, including rollovers from
qualified plans, totaled $77,427,000 and $66,555,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

In addition to amounts deferred by participants, the Company, at its discretion,
may make a matching contribution equal to a specified percentage of the
aggregate amounts deferred by participants. The match is only provided on
eligible participant deferrals of up to 10% of compensation. In 1997 and 1996,
the Company contributed 50% and 30%, respectively, of the first $2,000 of a
participant's annual deferred compensation and 15% of such deferred compensation
above $2,000 for an annual total of $15,168,000 and $9,625,000, respectively.
During 1997 and 1996, the Company matching contribution was allocated to the
SAIC Stock Fund. Also, the Company, at its discretion, may make an additional
contribution to the Deferred Fund for the benefit of non-highly compensated
participants in order to comply with Section 401(k)(3) of the Code. The Company
made no additional contributions for the benefit non-highly compensated
participants during 1997 and 1996.

The Company's contribution to the Deferred Fund is to be paid in cash unless the
Company's Board of Directors determines to make the contribution in shares of
Class A Common Stock or another form. Contributions to the Deferred Fund shall
not exceed the maximum amount deductible by the Company for Federal income tax
purposes.

Employees hired prior to January 1, 1995 are immediately eligible for the
Company matching contributions. Employees hired on or after January 1, 1995, who
have elected to participate, are eligible for Company matching contributions if
they have attained age 21 and have both twelve calendar months of employment and
850 hours of service, as defined.

Participants may elect to borrow up to 50% of their vested plan balance, up to a
maximum of $50,000, excluding amounts included in the SAIC Stock Fund. Upon this
election, the loan balance is transferred from the applicable investment fund(s)
to a separate loan fund (participant loans) until repayment. Participants are
permitted to transfer to the Plan their account balances from a previous
employer's qualified retirement plan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The participant's interest in the Deferred Fund account will be paid in a single
distribution to the participant or their designated beneficiary upon termination
of employment with the Company, retirement, permanent disability or death. A
participant may not make withdrawals from the Deferred Fund accounts while
employed with the Company prior to attaining age 59 1/2 unless the Committee
determines the participant is incurring financial hardship. After attaining age
59 1/2, a participant may make withdrawals even if still employed with the
Company. Distributions from the Deferred Fund are paid in cash.

VESTING

A participant's interest in the employee deferral portion of the Deferred Fund
account is 100% vested at all times. A participant's interest in the Company
matching contribution is 100% vested if the participant was hired prior to
January 1, 1995. If the participant was hired on or after January 1, 1995, the
participant's interest in the Company matching contribution vests at the rate of
25% per year in years three through six, becoming fully vested after six years
of service, as defined. Participants are deemed fully vested upon reaching age
59 1/2, permanent disability or death. Forfeitures, arising from participants
withdrawing from the Plan prior to achieving 100% vesting, are applied to the
Company's matching contribution. There were no Plan forfeitures applied against
Company matching contributions in 1997 or 1996.

INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

The investment programs offered to participants in the Deferred Fund allow
participants to choose among thirteen investment funds offered by the Vanguard
Group of Investment Companies. Participants are also allowed to direct a portion
of their investment into Class A Common Stock of the Company. Such investment
into the SAIC Stock Fund can be exchanged into one of the Vanguard Funds subject
to certain restrictions.

THE VANGUARD FUNDS OFFERED WERE AS FOLLOWS:

1) Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund - GNMA Portfolio, which invests in
fixed income securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government; 2) Vanguard Index
Trust - 500 Portfolio, which invests in common stocks; 3) Vanguard Money Market
Reserves - Prime Portfolio, which invests in money market instruments; 4)
Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund - Short Term Federal Portfolio, which

which invests in fixed income securities and common stocks; 6) Vanguard/Windsor
Fund, which invests in common stocks; 7) Vanguard International Growth
Portfolio, which invests in common stocks of companies based outside the United

investment program selected by a participant. Participants may elect to transfer
their existing account balances at any time among the Vanguard investment funds
and/or alter the allocations of future contributions among any of the investment
alternatives under rules prescribed by the Committee.

PLAN TERMINATION

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it
reserves the right to suspend or discontinue contributions to the Plan or to
terminate the Company's participation in the Plan at any time. In the event of
termination, a distribution of the participants' Deferred Fund account balances
will be made in accordance with the Plan provisions.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME, GAINS AND LOSSES

Vanguard Funds

Deposits to the Vanguard Funds are used to buy shares from the respective
investment fund. Vanguard Fund shares are valued at the net asset value per
share as of each valuation date.

Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the shares in the fund are
purchased or sold. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are computed based
on the market value at the beginning of the year or purchase price if purchased
during the year.

SAIC Common Stock

A general public market for the Company's Common Stock does not exist;
therefore, the fair market value of the Common Stock is determined pursuant to a
stock price formula and valuation process which includes an appraisal prepared
by an independent appraisal firm. Periodic determinations of fair market value
of the Common Stock are made by the Board of Directors, with the assistance of
the independent appraisal firm. The Board of Directors reserves the right to
alter the formula.

The gains or losses realized on distributions of investments and the increases
or decreases in unrealized appreciation are calculated as the difference between
the current fair market value and the fair market value of the investments at
the beginning of the year or purchase price if purchased during the year. As of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the fair market value of the Company's Class A
Common Stock was $34.78 per share and $22.83 per share and the Plan held
approximately 7,599,000 shares and 6,994,000 shares, respectively.

It is the policy of the Committee to keep the SAIC Stock Fund invested primarily
in Common Stock, except for estimated reserves for use in distributions and
investment exchanges by participants. Such reserves are invested in the Vanguard
Money Market Reserves - Prime Portfolio mutual fund. If reserves in the SAIC
Stock Fund are less than the amount required at any given time to make requested
distributions and investment changes, investment exchanges out of the SAIC Stock
Fund by participants may have to be deferred.

Short-term investments

Short-term investments consist primarily of State Street Bank and Trust
Short-Term Investment Fund, which invests in short-term money market
instruments. State Street Bank and Trust Company is the Plan's Trustee.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Participant contributions and Company matching contributions are accrued based
upon the amounts deferred by participants at year end which are received by the
Trustee subsequent to year end. Additional Company contributions are accrued
based upon the amounts determined by the Company's Board of Directors (Note 1).

</TABLE>

These amounts are reflected as liabilities in the Plan's Form 5500.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES OF THE PLAN

All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid out of Plan
assets unless the Company elects to pay such costs. Fees totaling $88,000 and
$52,000 were paid or accrued to the Trustee by the Plan during 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Other Plan expenses totaling $63,000 and $111,000 were paid or
accrued by the Plan during 1997 and 1996, respectively.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Plan Administrator and Participants
of the TransCore Retirement Savings Plan

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the TransCore Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) at December 31, 1997, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. The financial
statements of the TransCore Retirement Savings Plan for the year ended December
31, 1996 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated June
23, 1997 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedules I through III is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional
information required by ERISA. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TRANSCORE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

THE PLAN

The following description of the TransCore Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan")
provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan
agreement for a more comprehensive description of the Plan's provisions.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan which became effective January 1, 1986.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code.

The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and assist employees in following a
systematic savings program suited to their individual objectives, and to provide
an opportunity for employees to become stockholders of Science Applications
International Corporation (SAIC). TransCore (the "Company") is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SAIC. Any employee of the Company who was hired before April 1,
1986 or any employee who has completed at least one year of continuous service,
as determined in accordance with the Company's service rules, or who has been
compensated for 1,000 or more hours in a period of 12 consecutive months is
eligible for participation in the Plan.

Eligible employees may participate in the Plan by authorizing the Company to
make biweekly salary deferrals. The Plan permits participants to elect to defer
up to 15% of compensation. The Company will match 50% of the Participant's
salary deferrals on the first 4% of eligible compensation. At the discretion of
the Board of Directors, the Company may make additional profit-sharing
contributions. All of the above savings and elections are subject to regulatory
and Plan limitations.

Company matching and profit sharing contributions vest as follows:

</TABLE>

A participant with less than five years of service who withdraws any matched
savings will forfeit a portion of related company contributions in accordance
with specific plan provisions. The nonvested portion of the participant's
profit-sharing contribution account is forfeited at the end of the Plan year in
which termination occurs and is reallocated as additional profit-sharing
contributions to the remaining eligible participants. The nonvested portion of
the participant's matching contribution account is forfeited at the
participant's date of termination and is used to reduce future employer matching
contributions to the Plan. Participants who retire may withdraw their vested
balances in a lump sum payment at any time prior to attaining the age of 70 1/2.

Participants may borrow up to one-half of their vested account balances subject
to certain minimum and maximum loan limitations. All approved loans require the
participant to pledge the vested portion of his/her account balance as plan
collateral. The loan must be repaid in regular installments through payroll
deductions over a period not to exceed five years.

ADMINISTRATION

The designated Trustee of the Plan is State Street Bank. The administration of
the Plan is vested in the Company which may designate one or more persons to
operate and administer the Plan. Expenses of administering the Plan are paid by
the Company.

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

Investments in the Vanguard mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices
which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.
Loans to participants, short-term investments and cash are valued at cost which
approximates fair value. SAIC Common Stock is carried at fair value. A general
public market does not exist for SAIC's Common Stock; therefore, the fair market
value of SAIC's Common Stock is determined pursuant to a stock price formula and
valuation process which includes an appraisal prepared by an independent firm.
Periodic determinations of the fair market value of SAIC's Common Stock are made
by the Board of Directors, with the assistance of the independent appraisal
firm. The Board of Directors of SAIC reserves the right to alter the formula.

Investment income is recorded when earned.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 3 - REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES

Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated based upon the
historical cost of assets. Such gains and losses are computed on a current value
basis for the Form 5500. This difference may result in classification
differences between realized and unrealized gains.


NOTE 4 - INCOME TAX STATUS

The TransCore Retirement Savings Plan is a qualified plan pursuant to Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code") and the related Trusts are
exempt from federal taxation under Section 401(a) of the Code. A favorable tax
determination letter dated March 24, 1994 has been received by the Plan. The
Plan has been amended since receiving this determination letter. However, the
Plan Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed
and currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the
accompanying financial statements.

                        Report of Independent Accountants



To the Participants and the Administrative Committee
of the Bell Communications Research Savings and Security Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Bell Communications Research Savings and Security Plan (the Plan) at
December 31, 1997 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

The financial statements of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31,
1996 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated June 19,
1997 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. Their report also
contained an explanatory paragraph on supplemental information required by the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information
required by ERISA. The fund information in the statement of net assets available
for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for benefits and the changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund. Schedules I and II and the fund information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements, and in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          BELL COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH
                            SAVINGS AND SECURITY PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   ----------

A.       Plan Description:

         The Bell Communications Research Savings and Security Plan (the Plan)
         was established by Bell Communications Research (the Company) to
         provide a convenient way for non-salaried employees to save on a
         regular and long term basis. On November 14, 1997, the Company was sold
         to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Prior to the
         sale, the Company was owned by the Regional Bell Operating Companies
         (RBOC's). Changes to the Plan as a result of the sale are noted below.

         The following description of the Plan provides only general
         information. Participants should refer to the Plan Prospectus for a
         more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

         1.    General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all
               non-salaried employees of the Company who have one month of
               service and are age twenty-one or older. It is subject to the
               provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
               (ERISA).

         2.    Contributions. Each year, participants may contribute up to 16
               percent of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan.
               Participants may also contribute amounts representing
               distributions from other qualified defined benefit or
               contribution plans. After one year of service, the Company
               contributes 70 percent of the first 6 percent of compensation
               that a participant contributes to the Plan. In addition, after
               one year of service, the Company makes a contribution of a 1/2
               percent of compensation on behalf of each participant. Effective
               with the sale of the Company, this automatic contribution is
               deposited into the SAIC Stock Purchase Fund until the following
               quarterly trade and then into SAIC stock. This fund and related
               investment option were also established upon the sale of the
               Company. Prior to the sale of the Company, the automatic
               contribution was deposited according to each participant's asset
               allocation at that time; for participants who did not make a
               voluntary contribution, the automatic contribution was deposited
               into the Interest Income Fund. The contribution is made during
               the first quarter for participant earnings of the previous
               calendar year. These automatic Company contributions are
               immediately vested. Additional amounts may be contributed at the
               option of the Company's Board of Directors. Effective with the
               sale of the Company, 50 percent of Company contributions are
               invested in SAIC stock and 50 percent are invested in accordance
               with each participant's directed allocation. Contributions are
               subject to certain IRS limitations.

         3.    Participant Accounts. Each participant's account is credited with
               the participant's contribution and allocations of the Company's
               contribution and Fund earnings, and each participant's account is
               charged with an allocation of administrative expenses.
               Allocations are based on participant earnings or account
               balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is
               entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
               participant's vested account.

         4.    Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in their
               contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the
               Company's matching and discretionary contribution plus actual
               earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A
               participant is 100 percent vested after five years of credited
               service.

         5.    Investment Options. The Plan is comprised of the following
               investments:

                     VANGUARD BOND INDEX FUND - Total Bond Market Portfolio:
                     This participant directed fund invests in United States
                     treasury obligations, federal agency mortgage backed
                     obligations and investment grade corporate obligations.

                     VANGUARD EXPLORER FUND: This participant directed fund
                     invests in the common stock of a diversified group of small
                     capitalization companies.

                     VANGUARD INDEX TRUST - 500 Portfolio: This participant
                     directed fund invests in all of the 500 stocks that make up
                     the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
                                   ----------

                     VANGUARD INTERNATIONAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO: This participant
                     directed fund invests in the common stocks of companies
                     based outside of the United States.

                     VANGUARD / PRIMECAP FUND: This participant directed fund
                     invests in the common stock of medium capitalization
                     companies.

                     VANGUARD / WELLINGTON FUND: This participant directed fund
                     invests approximately 65 percent of its assets in common
                     stocks and the remaining 35 percent in bonds.

                     VANGUARD / WINDSOR II: This participant directed fund
                     invests in the common stock of large capitalization
                     companies.

                     SAIC EXCHANGEABLE STOCK FUND: As previously stated, this
                     fund was created upon the sale of the Company. This fund
                     invests primarily in SAIC class A common stock and is
                     participant directed to the extent that participant
                     contributions were used to purchase SAIC stock. Also
                     effective with the sale of the Company, the SAIC
                     Non-exchangeable Stock Fund, a non-participant directed
                     fund, was created to exclusively invest 50 percent of the
                     Company matching contribution in SAIC class A common stock.
                     There will be no activity in this fund until the next
                     quarterly SAIC stock trade date which will occur in 1998.

                     The SAIC STOCK PURCHASE FUND is not a participant directed
                     investment option; it is a temporary holding fund designed
                     to hold respective participant and Company contributions
                     until the following SAIC common stock quarterly trade date.
                     Pending the quarterly trade, the respective contributions
                     are invested in the Vanguard Money Market Reserves
                     Portfolio.

                     BELLCORE INTEREST INCOME FUND: This participant directed
                     fund invests primarily in investment contracts issued by
                     insurance companies and banks.

                     BELLCORE - DIVERSIFIED TELEPHONE PORTFOLIO STOCK FUND: This
                     fund invests primarily in common stock and has been frozen
                     to new participant directed contributions since 1984.

                     BELLCORE - TELEPHONE EQUITY FUND STOCK FUND: This fund
                     invests in the common stock of the RBOC's. Upon the sale of
                     the Company, the fund was frozen to new participant
                     directed contributions. Additionally, in 1998, the Fund
                     will be terminated and its assets will be reallocated as
                     directed by the participants. Any remaining assets will be
                     reallocated to the Interest Income Fund.

         6.    Participant Loans Receivable. Participants may borrow from their
               fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser
               of (a) $50,000 less the participant's highest outstanding loan
               balance during the preceding one year period; or (b) 50 percent
               of their vested account balance. Additionally, effective with the
               sale of the Company, loans may not exceed the vested value of the
               participant's Plan account less their vested amounts in the SAIC
               Stock Fund. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from)
               the investment fund from (to) the Loan Fund. Loan terms range
               from 12 to 56 months. The loans are secured by the balance in the
               participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate
               with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the Plan
               administrator. Interest rates ranged from 7 to 10 percent during
               1996 and 1997. Principal and interest is paid ratably through
               monthly payroll deductions.

         7.    Payment of Benefits. On termination of service due to death,
               disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive
               either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's
               vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments not
               to exceed the life expectancy of the participant and spouse, if
               applicable. For termination of service due to other reasons, a
               participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his
               or her account as a lump-sum distribution, or maintain the
               account in the Plan.

         8.    Forfeited Accounts. Forfeited accounts are used to reduce future
               Company contributions. Company contributions were reduced by
               $1,000 and $1,300 during 1997 and 1996, respectively.

B.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been
         prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles.

         Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
         and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Investment Valuation and Income Recognition- The Plan's investments are
         valued at fair value, except for its investment contracts which are
         valued at contract value (Note C).

         Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market
         prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan
         at year end. Quoted market prices for the value of the common shares of
         each company in the Telephone Equity Fund and the Diversified Telephone
         Portfolio are obtained on the basis of the closing price on the New
         York Stock Exchange on the year end date or, if no sales were made on
         that date, at the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the
         next preceding day on which sales were made.

         Participant notes receivable are valued at outstanding principle
         balance which approximates fair value.

         A general public market for the Company's common stock does not exist;
         therefore, the fair value of the common stock is determined pursuant to
         a stock price formula and valuation process which includes an appraisal
         prepared by an independent appraisal firm. Periodic determinations of
         fair value of the common stock are made by the SAIC Board of Directors,
         with the assistance of the independent appraisal firm. The SAIC Board
         of Directors reserves the right to alter the formula.

         The gains or losses realized on distributions of investments and the
         increases or decreases in unrealized appreciation are calculated as the
         difference between the current fair value and the fair value of the
         investments at the beginning of the year, or purchase price if
         purchased during the year. As of December 31, 1997, the fair value of
         the Company's Class A Common Stock was $34.78 per share and the Plan
         held approximately 4,458 shares.

         It is the policy of the Bell Communications Research Savings and
         Security Plan Committee to keep the SAIC Common Stock Fund invested
         primarily in common stock, except for estimated reserves for use in
         distributions and investment exchanges by participants. Such reserves
         are invested in the Vanguard Money Market Reserves - Prime Portfolio
         mutual fund. If reserves in the SAIC Common Stock Fund are less than
         the amount required at any given time to make required distributions
         and investment changes, investment exchanges out of the SAIC Common
         Stock Fund by participants may have to be deferred.

         Purchases and sales of securities are reflected as of the trade date.
         Investments are valued on a daily basis. Dividend income is recorded on
         the ex-dividend date. Interest earned on investments is recorded on the
         accrual basis.

        Payment of Benefits- Benefits are recorded when paid.

C.       INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES:

         The plan maintains investments in fully benefit-responsive investment
         contracts with a number of insurance companies and banks. (Benefit
         responsiveness is the extent to which contract terms permit and require
         withdrawals at contract value for benefit payments, loans, or transfers
         to other investment options offered to the participants by the
         Plan).The accounts are credited with earnings of the underlying
         investments (principally bank certificates of deposit, and other fixed
         income products) and charged for Plan withdrawals and administrative
         expenses. The contracts are included in the financial statements at
         contract value, which approximates fair value, as reported to the Plan
         by the respective provider. Contract value represents contributions
         made under the contract, plus earnings, less plan withdrawals and
         administrative expenses. See Item 27a of the supplemental schedules for
         a complete list of all contracts held in the fund.

         Approximately 27 percent and 39 percent of total net assets at December
         31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, were invested in investment contracts.
         These contracts are subject to credit risk. If any of the companies
         fails to perform on the contracts held, the asset value of the Interest
         Income Fund, and therefore the Plan, could be substantially impaired.

D.       PARTIES-IN-INTEREST:

         Transactions involving cash, securities or assets of the Company, the
         Trustee or other affiliated persons are considered to be
         party-in-interest transactions under Section 2520.103-10 of the
         Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure.
         Reportable party-in-interest transactions for the year ended December
         31, 1997 are summarized below:

</TABLE>



         Certain Plan investments are investment funds; and are shares of mutual
         funds managed by The Vanguard Group. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company
         is the trustee as defined by the Plan, and therefore these transactions
         qualify as party-in-interest.

         There were no known prohibited transactions with known parties in
         interest as defined in ERISA Section 3(14) and regulations thereunder,
         including those transactions set forth in ERISA Sections 406 and 407(a)
         and Internal Revenue Code Section 4975(c). There was no known
         relationship in which The Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company had any
         direct or indirect financial interest which would affect its capacity
         to perform the necessary calculations.

         Fees paid by the Plan for administrative expenses and investment
         management services amounted to $3,000 for 1997. All other Plan
         expenses are paid by the Company.

E.       PLAN TERMINATION POLICY:

         The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the
         right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
         Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
         termination, participants would become 100 percent vested in their
         accounts; Company contributions would not be subject to forfeiture.

F.       RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500:

         There are no reconciling items from the Statement of Net Assets
         Available for Benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500.

G.       TAX STATUS:

         On April 11, 1986, the Internal Revenue Service had determined that the
         Plan is qualified under the requirements of Section 401(a) of the
         Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from Federal income taxes under
         Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan obtained its latest determination
         letter on August 1, 1995, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated
         that the Plan, as amended through December 21, 1994, was in compliance
         with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan
         has been amended since receiving such determination letter. However,
         the Plan administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan is
         currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the
         applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no
         provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial
         statements.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Participants and the Administrative Committee
of the Bell Communications Research Savings Plan for Salaried Employees


In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Bell Communications Research Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (the
Plan) at December 31, 1997 and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

The financial statements of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31,
1996 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated June 19,
1997 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. Their report also
contained an explanatory paragraph on supplemental information required by the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedules I through III is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional
information required by ERISA. The fund information in the statement of net
assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for benefits and the changes in net
assets available for benefits of each fund. Schedules I through III and the fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                          BELL COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH
                       SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   ----------

A.       PLAN DESCRIPTION:

         The Bell Communications Research Savings Plan for Salaried Employees
         (the Plan) was established by Bell Communications Research (the
         Company) to provide a convenient way for employees to save on a regular
         and long term basis. On November 14, 1997, the Company was sold to
         Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Prior to the
         sale, the Company was owned by the Regional Bell Operating Companies
         (RBOC's). Changes to the Plan as a result of the sale are noted below.

         The following description of the Plan provides only general
         information. Participants should refer to the Plan Prospectus for a
         more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

         1.    General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all
               salaried employees of the Company who have one month of service
               and are age twenty-one or older. It is subject to the provisions
               of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

         2.    Contributions. Each year, participants may contribute up to 16
               percent of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan.
               Participants may also contribute amounts representing
               distributions from other qualified defined benefit or
               contribution plans. After one year of service, the Company
               contributes 70 percent of the first 6 percent of compensation
               that a participant contributes to the Plan. In addition, after
               one year of service, the Company makes a contribution of a 1/2
               percent of compensation on behalf of each participant. Upon the
               sale of the Company, this automatic contribution is deposited
               into the SAIC Stock Purchase Fund until the quarterly trade date
               and then into SAIC stock. This fund and related investment option
               were also established upon the sale of the Company. Prior to the
               sale of the Company, the automatic Company contribution was
               deposited according to a participant's asset allocation at that
               time; for participants who did not make a voluntary contribution,
               the automatic contribution was deposited in the Interest Income
               Fund. The contribution is made during the first quarter for
               employee earnings of the previous calendar year. These automatic
               Company contributions are immediately vested. Additional amounts
               may be contributed at the option of the Company's Board of
               Directors. Effective with the sale of the Company, 50 percent of
               Company contributions are invested in SAIC stock and 50 percent
               are invested in accordance with each participant's directed
               allocation. Contributions are subject to certain IRS limitations.

         3.    Participant Accounts. Each participant's account is credited with
               the participant's contribution and allocations of the Company's
               contribution and fund earnings, and each participant's account is
               charged with an allocation of administrative expenses.
               Allocations are based on participant earnings, as defined. The
               benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
               can be provided from the participant's vested account.

         4.    Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in their
               contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the
               Company's matching and discretionary contribution and actual
               earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A
               participant is 100 percent vested after five years of credited
               service.

         5.    Investment Options. The Plan is comprised of the following
               investments:

                  VANGUARD BOND INDEX FUND - Total Bond Market Portfolio: This
                  participant directed fund invests in United States treasury
                  obligations, federal agency mortgage backed obligations and
                  investment grade corporate obligations.

                  VANGUARD EXPLORER FUND: This participant directed fund invests
                  in the common stock of a diversified group of small
                  capitalization companies.

                  VANGUARD INDEX TRUST - 500 PORTFOLIO: This participant
                  directed fund invests in all of the 500 stocks that make up
                  the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

                  VANGUARD INTERNATIONAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO: This participant
                  directed fund invests in the common stocks of companies based
                  outside of the United States.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
                                   ----------

                  VANGUARD / PRIMECAP FUND: This participant directed fund
                  invests in the common stock of medium capitalization
                  companies.

                  VANGUARD / WELLINGTON FUND: This participant directed fund
                  invests approximately 65 percent of its assets in common
                  stocks and the remaining 35 percent in bonds.

                  VANGUARD / WINDSOR II: This participant directed fund invests
                  in the common stock of large capitalization companies.

                  SAIC EXCHANGEABLE STOCK FUND: As previously stated, this fund
                  was created upon the sale of the Company. This fund invests
                  primarily in SAIC class A common stock and is participant
                  directed to the extent that participant contributions were
                  used to purchase SAIC stock. Also effective with the sale of
                  the Company, the SAIC Non-exchangeable Stock Fund, a
                  non-participant directed fund, was created to exclusively
                  invest 50% of the Company matching contribution in SAIC class
                  A common stock. There will be no activity in this fund until
                  the next quarterly SAIC stock trade date which will occur in
                  1998.

                  The SAIC STOCK PURCHASE FUND is not a participant directed
                  investment option; it is a temporary holding fund designed to
                  hold respective participant and Company contributions until
                  the following SAIC common stock quarterly trade date. Pending
                  the quarterly trade, the respective contributions are invested
                  in the Vanguard Money Market Reserves Portfolio.

                  BELLCORE INTEREST INCOME FUND: This participant directed fund
                  invests primarily in investment contracts issued by insurance
                  companies and banks.

                  BELLCORE - DIVERSIFIED TELEPHONE PORTFOLIO STOCK FUND: This
                  fund invests primarily in common stock and has been frozen to
                  new participant directed contributions since 1984.

                  BELLCORE - TELEPHONE EQUITY FUND STOCK FUND: This fund invests
                  in the common stock of the RBOC's. Upon the sale of the
                  Company, the fund was frozen to new participant directed
                  contributions.

         6.    Participant Loans Receivable. Participants may borrow from their
               fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser
               of (a) $50,000 less the participant's highest outstanding loan
               balance during the preceding one year period; or (b) 50 percent
               of their vested account balance. Upon the sale of the Company,
               loans also may not exceed the vested value of the participant's
               Plan account less vested amounts in the SAIC Stock Fund within
               the Plan. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from)
               the investment fund from (to) the Loan Fund. Loan terms range
               from 1 year to 56 months. The loans are secured by the balance in
               the participant's account and bear interest at a rate
               commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined monthly by
               the Plan administrator. Interest rates ranged from 7 to 10
               percent during 1997 and 1996. Principal and interest is paid
               ratably through monthly payroll deductions.

         7.    Payment of Benefits. On termination of service due to death,
               disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive
               either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's
               vested interest in his or her account, or an amount not to exceed
               the life expectancy of the participant and spouse, if applicable.
               For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant
               may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her
               account as a lump-sum distribution, or maintain the account in
               the Plan.

         8.    Forfeited Accounts. Forfeited accounts are used to reduce future
               Company contributions. Company contributions were reduced by
               $345,000 and $248,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

                                   ----------

B.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been
         prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles.

         Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
         and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Investment Valuation and Income Recognition- The Plan's investments are
         valued at fair value, except for its investment contracts which are
         valued at contract value (Note C).

         Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market
         prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan
         at year end. Quoted market prices for the value of the common shares of
         each company in the Telephone Equity Fund and the Diversified Telephone
         Portfolio are obtained on the basis of the closing price on the New
         York Stock Exchange on the year end date or, if no sales were made on
         that date, at the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the
         next preceding day on which sales were made.

         Participant notes receivable are valued at outstanding principle
         balance which approximates fair value.

         A general public market for the SAIC class A common shares does not
         exist; therefore, the fair value of the shares is determined pursuant
         to a stock price formula and valuation process which includes an
         appraisal prepared by an independent appraisal firm. Periodic
         determinations of fair value of the common stock are made by the SAIC
         Board of Directors, with the assistance of the independent appraisal
         firm. The SAIC Board of Directors reserves the right to alter the
         formula.

         The gains and losses realized on distributions of investments and the
         increases or decreases in unrealized appreciation are calculated as the
         difference between the current fair value and the fair value of the
         investments at the beginning of the year, or purchase price if
         purchased during the year. As of December 31, 1997, the fair value of
         the SAIC Company's Class A Common Stock was $34.78 and the Plan held
         approximately 1,175,927 shares.

         It is the policy of the Company to keep the SAIC Common Stock Fund
         invested primarily in common stock, except for estimated reserves for
         use in distributions and investment exchanges by participants. Such
         reserves are invested in the Vanguard Money Market Reserves - Prime
         Portfolio Fund. If reserves in the SAIC Common Stock Fund are less than
         the amount required at any given time to make required distributions
         and investment changes, investment exchanges out of the SAIC Common

C.       INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES:

         The Plan maintains investments in fully benefit-responsive investment
         contracts with a number of insurance companies and banks. (Benefit
         responsiveness is the extent to which contract terms permit and require
         withdrawals at contract value for benefit payments, loans, or transfers
         to other investment options offered to the participants by the Plan).
         The accounts are credited with earnings on the underlying investments
         (principally bank certificates of deposit and other fixed income
         products) and charged for Plan withdrawals and administrative expenses.
         The contracts are included in the financial statements at contract
         value, which approximates fair value, as reported to the Plan by the
         provider. Contract value represents contributions made under the
         contract, plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals and administrative
         expenses. See Item 27a of the supplemental schedules for a complete
         list of all contracts held in the Plan.

         Approximately 22 percent and 29 percent of total net assets at December
         31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, were invested in investment contracts.
         These contracts are subject to credit risk. If any of the companies
         fails to perform on the contracts held, the asset value of the Interest
         Income Fund, and therefore the Plan, could be substantially impaired.

         On July 16, 1991, Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company (MBL) was
         placed in rehabilitation under the direction of the Insurance
         Commissioner and Attorney General of the State of New Jersey. A Plan of
         Rehabilitation was approved by the Superior Court of New Jersey on
         January 24, 1994. This Plan provides that the full amount of principal
         as of July 16, 1991 plus accrued interest is guaranteed by a
         combination of the Life Insurance Company Guarantee Corporation of New
         York (LICGCNY) and an insurance company consortium. Interest was
         credited at contract rates through December 31, 1991. Interest for 1992
         and subsequent years will be credited at rates which are based upon the
         assets' investment performance but not less than approximately 1
         percent on the total assets. At December 31, 1997, MBL paid 8.05
         percent and 5.10 percent on the respective contracts that the Plan
         currently holds. Amounts which are guaranteed by LICGCNY funds will be
         completely distributed after December 31, 1999. Distributions from the
         insurance consortium will be made in five installments beginning after
         December 31, 1999. Payouts may be deferred after that date by the
         consortium, but all payments must be made by December 31, 2010. Mutual
         Benefit related assets represent approximately 3 percent of the total
         Interest Income Fund assets and less than 1 percent of total Plan
         assets.

D.       PARTIES-IN-INTEREST:


         Transactions involving cash, securities or assets of the Company, the
         Trustee or other affiliated persons are considered to be
         party-in-interest transactions under Section 2520.103-10 of the
         Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure.
         Reportable party-in-interest transactions for the year ended December
         31, 1997 are summarized below:

</TABLE>



         Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by The
         Vanguard Group. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company is the trustee as
         defined by the Plan, and therefore these transactions qualify as
         party-in-interest.

         There were no known prohibited transactions with known parties in
         interest as defined in ERISA Section 3(14) and regulations thereunder,
         including those transactions set forth in ERISA Sections 406 and 407(a)
         and Internal Revenue Code Section 4975(c). There was no known
         relationship in which The Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company had any
         direct or indirect financial interest which would affect its capacity
         to perform the necessary calculations.

         Fees paid by the Plan for administrative expenses and investment
         management services amounted to $263,000 and $11,000 for 1997 and 1996,
         respectively. All other Plan expenses are paid by the Company.

E.       PLAN TERMINATION POLICY:

         The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the
         right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
         Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. If the Plan were to be
         terminated, participants would be fully vested in their accounts;
         Company contributions would not be subject to forfeiture.

         for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment
         prior to December 31 but not yet paid as of that date.

G.       TAX STATUS:

         On April 11, 1986, the Internal Revenue Service had determined that the
         Plan is qualified under the requirements of Section 401(a) of the
         Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from Federal income taxes under
         Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan obtained its latest determination
         letter on August 1, 1995, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated
         that the Plan, as amended through December 21, 1994, was in compliance
         with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan
         has been amended since receiving such determination letter. However,
         the Plan administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan is
         currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the
         applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no
         provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial
         statements.
