ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
OF SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, INC.
THE UNDERSIGNED, constituting all of the members of the Executive Committee
of the Board of Directors of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. (the "Company"), do hereby
consent to the adoption of and do hereby adopt the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, that, in consideration of extraordinary services rendered to the
Company and the importance of the following key employees ("Employees") to the
future success of the Company, and in order to provide an incentive for such
Employees to remain in the employment of the Company, the issuance of the
following shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock of the Company on the terms and
conditions herein set forth are authorized and approved:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
NAME OF KEY EMPLOYEE NUMBER OF SHARES
-------------------- ----------------
<S> <C>
</TABLE>
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Shares shall be restricted stock and shall be
issued and delivered to each such Employee only on the following dates
("Delivery Dates"), in the following percentages and only on the terms and
conditions set forth in these resolutions:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PERCENTAGE OF SHARES
DATE TO BE DELIVERED
---------------- --------------------
<S> <C>
December 7, 1996................................ 50%
December 7, 1997................................ 25%
December 7, 1998................................ 25%
</TABLE>
In order to receive any of the Shares to be delivered on any Delivery Date,
an Employee must be employed by the Company on that Delivery Date. If the
employment of an Employee by the Company is terminated prior to a Delivery Date
by either the Employee or the Company for any reason, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, with or without cause, including without limitation by death or
disability, such Employee will not be entitled to receive any Shares which
otherwise would have been delivered to such Employee on such Delivery Date or
any subsequent Delivery Date, and such forfeited Shares shall be returned to the
Company and canceled.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Shares may, at the election of the Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, be issued from either treasury shares or from
authorized and unissued shares of the Company's Common Stock.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that, pending delivery of the Shares to the Employees as
above provided, (i) the Shares shall be held in escrow by the General Counsel of
the Company, (ii) each Employee shall deliver to the General Counsel a stock
power endorsed in blank relating to the Shares awarded to such Employee, and
(iii) the certificates representing the Shares shall bear substantially the
following legend:
The shares represented by this certificate are subject to certain
restrictions as set forth in that certain resolution adopted by the
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company by Unanimous
Consent dated as of December 7, 1993.
Upon lapse of the restrictions on the Shares, a certificate for the appropriate
number of the Shares (free of all restrictions) shall be delivered to the
Employees entitled to such Shares.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Company shall have the right to require an
Employee entitled to receive Shares to pay the Company the amount of any taxes
which the Company is or will be required to
<PAGE> 2
withhold with respect to such Shares before the certificate for such Shares is
delivered to the Employee. The Company may elect to deduct such taxes from any
other amounts payable then or at any time thereafter in cash or Shares or
otherwise to the Employee. An Employee may, by making an irrevocable written
election, satisfy his tax liability by having the Company withhold Shares
otherwise deliverable to such Employee.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that until the Shares to which each Employee is entitled
as above provided are either delivered to the Employee or surrendered to the
Company, such Employee shall have the right to vote such Shares and to receive
the dividends therefrom.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale of assets or
similar transaction, the Executive Committee shall make such adjustment in the
Shares, if any, as it may deem appropriate.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that any of the Shares which have not been delivered to
an Employee shall not be transferable and may not be sold, exchanged,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Employee.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that notwithstanding anything contained in these
resolutions to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control (as hereinafter
defined), the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and supersede any
inconsistent terms or provisions of these resolutions.
(1) Change in Control. For purposes of these resolutions, a "Change in
Control" shall mean any of the following events:
(a) The acquisition in one or more transactions by any "Person" (as
the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")), of
"Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the 1934 Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power
of the Company's then outstanding voting securities (the "Voting
Securities"), provided, however, that for purposes of this paragraph
(1)(a), the Voting Securities acquired directly from the Company by any
Person shall be excluded from the determination of such Person's Beneficial
Ownership of Voting Securities (but such Voting Securities shall be
included in the calculation of the total number of Voting Securities then
outstanding); or
(b) The individuals who are members of the Incumbent Board (as
hereinafter defined), cease for any reason to constitute at least
two-thirds of the Board for purposes of this paragraph (1)(b). The
"Incumbent Board" shall include the individuals who as of August 20, 1990
were members of the Board and any individual becoming a director subsequent
to August 20, 1990 whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that
any individual who is not a member of the Incumbent Board at the time he or
she becomes a member of the Board shall become a member of the Incumbent
Board upon the completion of two full years as a member of the Board;
provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no
individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such
individual initially assumed office (i) as a result of either an actual or
threatened "election contest" (within the meaning of Rule 14a-11
promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation
of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a
"Proxy Contest"), or (ii) with the approval of the other Board members, but
by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle a Proxy Contest; or
(c) Approval by stockholders of the Company of (i) a merger or
consolidation involving the Company if the stockholders of the Company
immediately before such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or
indirectly, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than
eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation
in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting
Securities immediately before such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company.
2
<PAGE> 3
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed
to occur solely because twenty percent (20%) or more of the then
outstanding Voting Securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans
maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) any
corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly
or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in the same proportion as
their ownership of stock in the Company immediately prior to such
acquisition.
Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not
be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the "Subject Person")
acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the
outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting
Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Voting
Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided, that if a Change in
Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of
the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share
acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner
of any additional Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the
then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject
Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.
Notwithstanding anything contained in these resolutions to the
contrary, if a Change in Control takes place and an Employee's employment
is terminated prior to the completed Change in Control and the Employee
reasonably demonstrates that such termination (i) was at the request of a
third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably
calculated to effect a Change in Control and who effectuates a Change in
Control or (ii) otherwise occurred in connection with or in anticipation of
a Change in Control which actually occurs, then for all purposes of these
resolutions, the date of the Change in Control in respect of such Employee
shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of termination of such
Employee's employment.
(2) Lapse of Restrictions Upon a Change in Control. Upon a Change in
Control, all restrictions on the Shares shall immediately lapse and certificates
for any remaining Shares shall immediately be distributed to the Employees.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company are hereby authorized,
empowered and directed to execute and deliver such certificates, applications,
notices and other documents, including without limitation a listing application
to the New York Stock Exchange and a registration statement to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as may be necessary or appropriate to
consummate the foregoing and to give full force and effect to these resolutions.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors shall have full authority and discretion to administer
and interpret these resolutions and the terms and provisions of the restricted
stock grants provided for herein, and any decision of the Human Resources and
Compensation Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Employees shall be notified of this restricted
stock grant pursuant to a letter agreement in substantially the form attached to
this Unanimous Consent, which letter agreement shall be executed by each such
Employee and shall become an integral part of this grant.
3
<PAGE> 4
FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Unanimous Consent may be executed in any number
of counterparts which, taken together, shall be deemed the original, and such
counterparts shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Executive
Committee.
This 7th day of December, 1993.

[Name and address of employee]
Dear [Employee]:
This will confirm that Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. (the "Company") has awarded
to you a grant of shares (the "Shares") of its Common Stock, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in resolutions adopted by the Executive
Committee of the Board of Directors as of December 7, 1993, a copy of which is
enclosed for your reference and information.
The issuance of the Shares to you will be registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") on Form S-8 and the Shares, upon issuance, will be
listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. You will not have any rights
as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any of the Shares until such
registration and listing have been accomplished and a stock certificate or
certificates for such Shares has been issued. When the certificate(s) are
issued, they will be initially delivered to the General Counsel of the Company
to be held in escrow until the restrictions lapse.
The Company will be required to withhold federal and state taxes with
respect to the Shares at the time the restrictions lapse. It will be your
responsibility to deliver to the Company sufficient funds to satisfy such
withholding requirements at the time the Shares are delivered to you.
The issuance of shares as described in this letter is being offered only to
a very select group of key employees. It is very important to the Company that
neither the terms nor the existence of this letter be made known to, or
discussed with, any other person, either within or outside of the Company. By
execution of this letter in the space provided below, you agree to maintain the
confidential nature of this letter and the matters described herein.
This letter does not constitute a contract of employment, and neither party
hereto, by execution, delivery or acceptance of this letter, implies, agrees or
otherwise undertakes that an employment relationship between the Company and the
undersigned employee will continue for any particular duration. This letter does
not give the undersigned employee any right to remain or continue as an employee
of the Company.
The rights granted to you in this letter are personal to you, and are not
transferable. Any attempt to transfer, assign, sell, mortgage or pledge any
right hereunder will be null and void and cause your rights hereunder to
terminate.
Sincerely,
James M. McDonald
President and Chief
Executive Officer
Accepted this day of , 1993.

Re: Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.
1993 Restricted Stock Awards
Registration Statement Form S-8
Gentlemen and Mesdames:
As counsel for Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Company"),
you have requested our opinion in connection with the preparation and filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the "Registration Statement") registering 20,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.50 per share, for issuance pursuant to certain
restricted stock awards granted by the Company in 1993.
We have examined such records and documents and made such examination of
law as we have deemed relevant in connection with this opinion. Based on the
foregoing, we are of the opinion that the 20,000 shares covered by said
Registration Statement, when issued in accordance with the terms of the
Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement, will be legally issued,
fully-paid and nonaccessible.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL, HASTINGS, JANOFSKY & WALKER
