                 INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

         The following documents filed by Paradyne Networks, Inc. (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement:

         (A) The Company's prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on July 16, 1999 (No.
333-76385).

         (B) The description of the Company's Common Stock which is contained in
the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed June 24, 1999, under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any amendment
or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

         All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this
registration statement from the date of the filing of such reports and
documents.


                     INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         The legality of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for
the Company by Cooley Godward LLP, Palo Alto, California ("Cooley Godward"). As
of the date of this prospectus, certain members of Cooley Godward own an
aggregate of approximately 3,200 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.


                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law the Company
has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities
they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. The Company's By-laws require the Company to indemnify its directors and
executive officers, and permit the Company to indemnify its other officers,
employees and other agents, to the extent permitted by Delaware law. Under the
Company's By-laws, indemnified parties are entitled to indemnification for
negligence, gross negligence and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by
law. The By-laws also require the Company to advance litigation expenses in the
case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking
by the indemnified party to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined
that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification.

         The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its
directors and executive officers. Such indemnity agreements contain provisions
which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions
contained in Delaware law. The Company also maintains an insurance policy for
its directors and executive officers insuring against certain liabilities
arising in their capacities as such.

                                  UNDERTAKINGS

1.       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (A) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

             (I)   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

             (II)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement, and

             (III) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

         Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the issuer pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference herein.

                                       3.
<PAGE>   5

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

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

2.       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
         determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
         registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
         of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
         benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange
         Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
         shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
         securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
         time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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

Paradyne Networks, Inc.
8545 126th Avenue North
Largo, Florida  33773


Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection
with the filing by Paradyne Networks, Inc. (the "Company") of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission covering the offering of up to an aggregate of 6,242,507
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Shares"), with
respect to the Company's 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, 1999 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan and 1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Plans").

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement and
related Prospectus, the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws, and such other documents, records, certificates,
memoranda and other instruments as we deem necessary as a basis for this
opinion. We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies thereof, and the due execution and delivery of all
documents, where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the
effectiveness thereof.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion
that the Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the Plans, the
Registration Statement and related Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully
paid, and nonassessable (except as to shares issued pursuant to certain deferred
payment arrangements, which will be fully paid and nonassessable when such
deferred payments are made in full).

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

Very truly yours,

COOLEY GODWARD LLP
