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;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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 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.

TelePad Corporation

Herndon, VA 22070
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to TelePad Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") being filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the
offering of 975,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, $.01 par value per
share, to certain key employees of the Company issuable upon exercise of options
which either have been, or may from time to time be, granted by the Company
under its Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan").
In connection with the foregoing, except as set forth in this
paragraph, we have examined originals or copies, satisfactory to us, of all such
corporate records and of all such agreements, certificates and other documents
as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter
expressed. We have not examined each option contract in respect of options
granted under the 1993 Plan. We have, however, examined the form of option
contract which the Company has advised us is the form of option contract used by
it under the 1993 Plan. We have also been informed by the Company that each
option contract between the Company and option holders under the 1993 Plan is
substantially in the form of the option contract we have examined. In all our
examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity
with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or
facsimiles. As to any facts material to such opinion, we have, to the extent
that relevant facts were not independently established by us, relied on
certificates of public officials and certificates of officers or other
representatives of the Company.
<PAGE>
TelePad Corporation - 2 - July 16, 1996
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the 1993 Plan and in
accordance with the options issued in accordance with the 1993 Plan, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ PARKER CHAPIN FLATTAU & KLIMPL, LLP
PARKER CHAPIN FLATTAU & KLIMPL, LLP
CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
We onsent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement
(Form S-8 No. 333-_________) pertaining to the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock
Option Plan, as Amended in our report dated February 16, 1996, with respect
to the financial statements of TelePad Corporation included in its Annual
Report (Form 10-KSB) for the year ended December 31, 1995, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
