On April 16, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, subject to stockholder approval, the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2004 Stock Purchase Plan"), which will enable employees to continue to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock through payroll deductions for a three-year period. The maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, if approved by the stockholders, is limited to the sum of the following (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances): (i) 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) the



number of shares of Class A Common Stock that remain available for issuance under the 2001 Stock Purchase Plan as of the effective date of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, expected to be approximately 4,500,000 shares, following which date no further shares will be offered under the 2001 Stock Purchase Plan.

        The following summary of the terms and provisions of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex I and incorporated herein by reference. All capitalized or quoted terms have the meanings ascribed to them in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan unless otherwise defined herein.

Eligibility

        Generally, all of the Company's employees will be eligible to participate in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, except for employees of subsidiaries which have not been designated as eligible for participation. The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Committee (the "Stock Purchase Committee") may also impose eligibility requirements consistent with Section 423(b) of the Code. No employee, however, who owns capital stock of the Company having more than 5% of the voting power or value of such capital stock will be able to participate. An employee's eligibility to participate in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will terminate immediately upon the termination of his or her employment with the Company, upon a change in employment status to a leave of absence or upon transfer to an ineligible subsidiary. As of April 30, 2004, there were approximately 37,200 employees who would have been eligible to participate in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan.

        In addition, the Stock Purchase Committee has the authority to allow employees of any designated subsidiary as well as an entity in which the Company has an equity ownership interest of less than 50% to participate in a non-Code Section 423 component of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Committee has the power and authority to modify the eligibility for and terms and conditions of participation in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan by such employees. Shares purchased by employees of such entities will not be eligible for the favorable tax treatment under Section 423 of the Code.

        Employees will be able to enroll in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan by completing a payroll deduction authorization form and providing it to the designated officials of the Company. The minimum and maximum payroll deduction percentage will be determined by the Committee. Currently, the minimum payroll deduction allowed is 1% of compensation and the maximum allowable deduction is 10% of compensation unless and until a different maximum percentage is established by the Stock Purchase Committee. No employee is entitled to purchase an amount of Class A Common Stock having a fair market value (measured as of its purchase date) in excess of $25,000 in any calendar year pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan and any other employee stock purchase plan which may be adopted by the Company.

Purchase of Shares

        Shares of Class A Common Stock purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan may be acquired in the Company's Limited Market or purchased from the Company out of its authorized but unissued shares. At each of four predetermined purchase dates during the year, the agent under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan (the "Agent") will purchase for the account of each participant in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan the whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock which may be acquired with the funds available in the participant's account, together with the Company's contribution described below.

        The Company will contribute a certain percent of the cost of each share of Class A Common Stock purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. The percent to be contributed by the Company (the "Company Percent") will be determined by the Stock Purchase Committee and will be between zero percent (0%) and fifteen percent (15%). The Company Percent will be fifteen percent (15%) unless and until changed by the Stock Purchase Committee. On each purchase date, the Company will


pay the Company Percent of the cost of each share purchased by the Agent whether purchased in the Limited Market or as a newly issued share.

        The purchase price to be paid for the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired for the account of participants will be the Formula Price in effect as of the date of purchase. As of April 30, 2004, the Formula Price for the Class A Common Stock was $37.34 per share.

Plan Benefits

        The amount of benefits to be provided to employees pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will depend upon such employee's level of participation, the Company's stock price performance and the Company Percent. Therefore, the benefits and amount of awards that will be received by each of the Named Executive Officers, the executive officers as a group and all other employees as a group under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan are not presently determinable.

Distribution and Voting Rights

        Participants shall have the right to vote the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. Shares of Class A Common Stock acquired under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will be distributed to each participant prior to any record date established by the Company for any vote of its stockholders and in the interim will be held by the Agent for the account of such participant.

Restrictions on Shares Purchased

        Pursuant to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all shares of Class A Common Stock purchased pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will be subject to the Company's right of repurchase upon the participant's termination of employment or affiliation with the Company at the then prevailing Formula Price. All such shares will also be subject to the Company's right of first refusal in the event that the participant desires to sell such shares other than in the Company's Limited Market.

Withdrawals

        Participants may withdraw from the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, terminate their election to purchase shares and obtain repayment of the balance of any monies held in their accounts at any time prior to the acquisition of shares of Class A Common Stock therewith. No interest will be paid on the money held in the accounts of the participants, unless required by applicable law.

Amendment and Termination

        The Board of Directors of the Company may suspend or amend the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan in any respect, except that no amendment may, 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 authorized to be issued by the Company under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan or (ii) deny to participating employees the right at any time to withdraw from the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan and thereupon obtain all amounts then due to their credit in their accounts.

        The 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on July 31, 2007, unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors.



Administration

        The 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by the Stock Purchase Committee, whose members are appointed by the Company's Board of Directors to serve at the discretion of the Board. Members of the Stock Purchase Committee will not receive any compensation from the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan or the Company for services rendered in connection therewith.

Agent

        The Company or its designee will be the Agent of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

        For federal income tax purposes, no taxable income will be recognized by a participant in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan until the taxable year of sale or other disposition of the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired under the part of the plan which qualifies under Code Section 423. When the shares are disposed of by a participant two years or more from the date such shares were purchased for the participant's account by the Agent, the participant must recognize ordinary income for the taxable year of disposition to the extent of the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date over the amount of the purchase price paid by the participant (the "Discount") or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at disposition or death over the purchase price. In the event of a participant's death while owning shares acquired under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, ordinary income must be recognized in the year of death in the amount specified in the foregoing sentence. When the shares are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year holding period specified above (a "disqualifying disposition"), the participant must recognize ordinary income in the amount of the Discount, even if the disposition is by gift or is at a loss. Additional gain, if any, will be short-term or long-term capital gain depending on whether the holding period is more than 12 months or 12 months or less.

        In the cases discussed above (other than death), the amount of ordinary income recognized by a participant is added to the purchase price paid by the participant and this amount becomes the tax basis for determining the amount of the capital gain or loss from the disposition of the shares, assuming that the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the participant.

        Net capital gains from the disposition of capital stock held more than 12 months are currently taxed at a maximum federal income tax rate of 15% and net capital gains from the disposition of stock held not more than 12 months is taxed as ordinary income (maximum rate of 35%). However, limitations on itemized deductions and the phase-out of personal exemptions may result in effective marginal tax rates higher than 15% for net capital gains and 35% for ordinary income.

        The Company will not be entitled to a deduction at any time for the shares issued pursuant to the part of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan which qualifies under Code Section 423 if a participant holding such shares continues to hold his or her shares or disposes of his or her shares after the required two-year holding period or dies while holding such shares. If, however, a participant disposes of such shares prior to the expiration of the two-year holding period, the Company is allowed a deduction to the extent of the amount of ordinary income includable in gross income by such participant for the taxable year as a result of the premature disposition of the shares, subject to the deduction limitation of Code Section 162(m).

        A participant purchasing shares under the non-Code Section 423 component of the Plan will be taxed at ordinary income rates on the Discount at the time of purchase, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction of the same amount.


Section 162(m)

        Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a federal income tax deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid in excess of $1 million in any taxable year to the chief executive officer or any of the other four most highly compensated executive officers who are employed by the corporation on the last day of the taxable year. Compensation equal to the Discount recognized by the participant on the disqualifying disposition of shares purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan less than one year after the purchase of such shares will not qualify for any exception to Code Section 162(m).

Scope of Discussion

        The foregoing discussion is intended only as a summary of certain relevant federal income tax consequences and does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the tax consequences of participation in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. Accordingly, participants should consult their own tax advisors with respect to all federal, foreign, state and local tax effects of participation in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. Moreover, the Company does not represent that the foregoing tax consequences will apply to any participant's specific circumstances or will continue to apply in the future and makes no undertaking to maintain the tax-qualified status of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Vote Required

        The Board of Directors believes that approval of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders because it provides a means for employees to acquire or increase their stock ownership, thereby aligning their financial interest with the Company's.The Board of Directors has approved the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan and recommends that stockholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan.

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. A stockholder who signs and submits a ballot or proxy is "present," so an abstention will have the same effect as a vote against those proposals. If the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan is not approved by the Company's stockholders, it will not be implemented.


PROPOSAL III—STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING THE COMPANY'SCOMPANY’S CLASSIFIED BOARD

 

This proposal was submitted by Christopher A. Smith, 3440 Hamlin Road, Lafayette, California 94549. As of April 30, 2004,the Record Date, Mr. Smith beneficially owned 28,93527,384 shares of the Company'sCompany’s Class A Common Stock.common stock.

Resolved:    That SAIC stockholders recommend that the Board of Directors take the necessary steps, in compliance with state law, to declassify the Board for the purpose of director elections and to implement annual director elections. The Board'sBoard’s declassification shall be completed in a manner that does not affect the unexpired terms of directors previously elected.

Stockholder'sStockholder’s Supporting Statement

 

The Board of Directors is currently separated into three classes. Each year stockholders are requested to vote on directors comprising one of the classes for a three-year term. Because of the classified (or "staggered"“staggered”) board structure, stockholders have the opportunity to vote only on roughly one-third of the directors each year.

 Election

In 2004, as reported in SAIC’s 10-Q quarterly report for the period ended July 31, 2004, a shareholder proposal recommending that the Board of corporate directors isDirectors take the necessary steps, in compliance with state law, to declassify the Board for purposes of director elections and to implement annual director elections was rejected by a primary avenuevote of 105,079,635 votes against and 21,953,031 for, stockholders to influence corporate affairs and exert accountability on management. while 7,275,353 shares abstained.

The proponent is of the opinion that the currentthat:

A classified



board structure without annual elections reduces the accountability of directors to stockholders. The proponentability of stockholders to vote on all directorseach year will maintain and enhance accountability.

Annual elections of directors will enable stockholders, including many managers and officers at SAIC, to have their views reflected currently and on a broader basis.

6


Corporate governance will be enhanced through a closer linkage between the stockholders and directors.

Elimination of the classified board will create an environment that encourages directors to consider new and innovative ways to positively impact shareholder value.

The shareholder urges you to research this issue and to mark your proxy FOR this resolution.

The Board of Directors has carefully considered the arguments for and against a classified board.board, particularly in light of the vote on a similar proposal at last year’s Annual Meeting.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The Compensation Committee consists exclusively of non-employee, independent directors, and is responsible for establishing and administering the programs that govern the compensation and benefits for the executive officers of the Company, including the five executive officers named in this proxy statement.

Employee Ownership Philosophy and Compensation Policy

Since its inception, the Company has been an employee-owned corporation based upon the philosophy that "those“those who contribute to the Company should own it, and ownership should be commensurate with that contribution and performance as much as feasible." The Company'sCompany’s compensation policies, plans and programs seek to implement this employee ownership philosophy by closely aligning the financial interest of the Company'sCompany’s employees, including executive officers, with the financial interest of its stockholders.

 As members of

Consistent with this philosophy, the Compensation Committee, it is our responsibility to approve the salaries paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and all executive officers named pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which includes the four other most highly paid executive officers of the Company ("Executive Officers"), and to recommend to the Stock Plans Committee of the Board of Directors the amount of grants to be made to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Officers under the Company's Bonus Compensation Plan. These determinations are made in light of individual, corporate and business unit performance, the performance of our competitors and other similar businesses and relevant market compensation data. To assist the Compensation Committee in carrying out these responsibilities, Mellon Human Resources & Investor Solutions (formerly iQuantic Buck), an executive compensation consulting firm ("Mellon"), was retained by the Compensation Committee to review the compensation paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the four other highest paid executive officers of the Company during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 ("Fiscal 2004") and to provide a competitive assessment of the various components of such compensation.

        The compensation policy of the Company, which is endorsed by the Compensation Committee, is that a substantial portion of the total compensation of executive officers be related to and contingent upon their individual contribution and performance, the performance of business units under their management and the performance of the Company as a whole. In this way, the Company seeks to encourage continuing focus on increasing the Company'sCompany’s revenue, profitability and stockholder value, while at the same time motivating its executive officers to perform to the fullest extent of their abilities.

Methodology

As members of the Compensation Committee, it is our responsibility to determine the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and to review and approve the compensation of the other executive officers named pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These determinations are made in light of individual, corporate and business unit performance, the performance of our competitors and other similar businesses and relevant market compensation data. To assist the Compensation Committee in carrying out these responsibilities, Mellon Human Resources & Investor Solutions, an executive compensation consulting firm (“Mellon”), was retained by the Compensation Committee to review the compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the four other highest paid executive officers of the Company during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 (“Fiscal 2005”) and to provide a competitive assessment of the various components of such compensation.

We analyzed the Company’s compensation practices, guided by three key principles:

1.Performance-based:Compensation levels should be determined based on Company, business unit and individual results compared to quantitative and qualitative performance priorities set at the beginning of the year.
Operating cash flow, segment operating income after tax (SOIAT), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), revenues and contract awards are key performance measures considered in making compensation decisions.
2.Stockholder-aligned:Equity should be awarded as a significant component of incentive compensation.
Equity awards have historically comprised a significant portion of incentive compensation awarded to the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers.
The Company’s Stock Ownership Guidelines align executive officer and management interests with those of stockholders by promoting increased stock ownership.
3.Fair:Compensation levels should be perceived as fair, both internally and externally.
Compensation levels are compared to those of the Company’s peers.
Competitive pay levels are considered in the context of an evaluation of Company and business unit results relative to the results of the Company’s peers.
Executive compensation is compared to other compensation levels within the Company to ensure that appropriate internal equitable relationships are achieved.

Components of Executive Compensation

Base Salary - The Company has continued to set the annual base salaries of its executive officers at competitive levels and continues to cause a significant portion of an executive officer'sofficer’s compensation to consist of annual and longer-term incentive compensation which are variable and closely tied to corporate, business unit and individual performance. For Fiscal 2004,2005, more than half of the executive officers'officers’ total compensation was paid as incentive compensation. As a result, much of an executive officer'sofficer’s total compensation was "at risk"“at risk” and dependent on performance during the prior fiscal year.

Incentive Compensation - An executive officer'sofficer’s incentive compensation may consist of cash, fully vested stock, vesting stock, options, stock units or a combination of these components. Generally, an annual bonus is given after the end of the fiscal year based on individual, corporate and business unit performance for such fiscal year and an executive officer'sofficer’s respective responsibilities, strategic and operational goals and levels of historic and anticipated performance. By awarding bonuses of vesting stock and vesting stock options, the Company seeks to encourage individuals to remain with the Company and continue to focus on the long-term technical and financial performance of the Company and on increasing stockholder value. Further, the exercise price of all stock options granted is equal to the stock price of the Class A common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, such options only have value to the extent that the stock price of the Company'sCompany’s Class A common stock increases during the term of the stock option.

 

Personal Benefits -The Company's general philosophy isCompany does not provide substantial personal benefits to encourage employeesits executive officers that are not available to other employees. We do not have significant stockholdings inprograms for providing personal-benefit perquisites to executive officers, such as company cars, permanent lodging or defraying the Company so that they have sufficient economic incentivecost of personal entertainment or family travel (except for a country club membership provided to maximize the Company's long-term performance and stock value. In 2003, the Company formalized this philosophy and adopted stock ownership guidelines for its officers, including theour Chief Executive Officer and Named Executive



Officers. Under these guidelines,two other executive officers, as disclosed in our proxy statement). Our health care and other insurance programs are the same for all officerseligible employees, including officers. Our loan programs, although modest in nature, are expectednot available to acquire and maintain stockholdings inexecutive officers. There are no outstanding loans by the Company in amounts expressed as a multiple of base salary.

Company Performance

In evaluating the performance and establishing the incentive compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Company'sCompany’s other executive officers, the Compensation Committee recognized that the Company exceeded the performance objectives in all four of the five key performance objectives. During the past fiscal year, itthe Company continued to sustain and grow its revenue and profitability and alsoprofitability. It exceeded its planned objectives in the areas of revenue, operating cash flow, contract awards and contract awards.Segment Operating Income After Tax (SOIAT). The Company achieved 98% of its EBITDA objective. In analyzing the Company’s performance, the Committee observed that management had initiated substantial long-term investments in the Company’s employees and infrastructure that reduced short-term profitability but were designed to enhance the long-term value of the Company.

Mr. Dahlberg serves as the Chairman of the Board. During the past fiscal year, Dr. Beyster was paid a base salary of $990,0001 which represented a 4.2% increase over his base salary for the prior year. Dr. Beyster was also paid a cash bonus of $1,000,000 for Fiscal 2004. Considering the Company's successful performance during the past fiscal year, the continued diversification of the Company's business base and the continued availability of Dr. Beyster's knowledge of the Company's business and industry, the Compensation Committee believes that Dr. Beyster's bonus was well warranted.

The variance between this amount and Dr. Beyster's base salary reported in the Summary Compensation Table is attributable to payment for his unused comprehensive leave.

During fiscal year 2005, Mr. Dahlberg demonstrated strong leadership, high integrity and smooth transition in leadership that occurred.ethical behavior, achieved excellent financial performance (106% of planned performance) and established a well formulated strategic business plan.

 

Executive Officer Compensation Review

Mellon has reviewed the compensation for each of the other four highest paid executive officers of the Company during its last fiscal year and has reported to the Compensation Committee that, based on industry survey data collected by Mellon, the compensation of these executive officers was within an acceptable range of competitive market levels for individuals with comparable duties and responsibilities.

 

Deductibility of Compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally limits the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any one year to the chief executive officer and the other four highest paid executive officers. In order to maintain maximum tax deductibility of executive compensation, the Company obtained stockholder approval of the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and the amendment and restatement of the 1984 Bonus Compensation Plan. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor compensation programs in light of Section 162(m);



however, the Compensation Committee considers it important to retain the flexibility to design compensation programs that are in the best long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The CompensationCompany’s general philosophy is to encourage employees to have significant stockholdings in the Company so that they have sufficient economic incentive to maximize the Company’s long-term performance and stock value. Under the Company’s stock ownership guidelines for its officers, all officers are expected to acquire and maintain stockholdings in the Company in amounts expressed as a multiple of base salary. The guidelines provide for various window periods within which the stock ownership levels are to be achieved. These guidelines establish a clear link between stock ownership, long-term strategic thinking and compensation programs that are tied to corporate performance and the interests of the stockholders.

Conclusion

The Committee believes that the caliber and motivation of all our employees, and especially our executive leadership, are essential to the Company’s performance. We also believe that the compensation policies, plans and programs the Company has implemented and which the Compensation Committee endorses, have encouraged management'smanagement to increase its focus on the long-term financial performance of the Company and have contributed to achieving the Company'sCompany’s technical and financial success. We will continue to evolve and administer the Company’s compensation programs in a manner that we believe will be in stockholders’ interests.

(5)
The following equity compensation plans not approved by security holders are included in this plan category: the Stock Compensation Plan and the Management Stock Compensation Plan. These plans do not provide for a maximum number of shares available for future issuance.

        Some of the principal features of the Stock Compensation Plan and the Management Stock Compensation Plan (collectively, the "Stock Compensation Plans") are summarized below, but the summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Stock Compensation Plans. Stockholder approval of the Stock Compensation Plans was not required.


Summary of the Stock Compensation Plans

        The Stock Compensation Plans have been adopted to provide a long-term incentive to key employees by making deferred awards of shares of our Class A common stock. All officers and employees are eligible to receive awards under the Stock Compensation Plan. However only a select group of management and highly compensated senior employees are eligible to receive awards under the Management Stock Compensation Plan. We intend to limit participants of the Management Stock Compensation Plan to individuals that would permit the plan to be treated as a "top hat" plan under applicable Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor Regulations.

        The awarding authority (appointed by our board of directors) designates those key employees who will receive an award and the number of share units to be awarded. The number of share units awarded represents an interest in a trust maintained by Wachovia Bank, N.A. as trustee under a trust agreement between the trustee and us. The trust is a special type of trust known as a "rabbi trust." In order to avoid current taxation of awards under the Stock Compensation Plans, the trust must permit our creditors to reach the assets of the trust in the event of our bankruptcy or insolvency. Each share unit generally corresponds to one share of Class A common stock, but the employee receiving an award of share units will not have an ownership interest in the shares of Class A common stock represented by the share units.

        The awarding authority will establish a vesting schedule of not more than seven years for each account in the trust. The accounts will generally vest at the rate of one-third at the end of each of the fifth, sixth and seventh year following the date of award. The death of a participant or a change in control of us will result in full vesting of an award. A participant will forfeit any unvested portions of the account if the participant's employment terminates for any reason other than death. We receive the benefit of forfeited amounts either by return of shares to us or use of the forfeitures to satisfy future awards under the Stock Compensation Plans.

        Vested account balances will be distributed at the earlier of the end of the seven-year vesting period or upon termination of employment. However, the participant may elect, within 90 days from the date of the award, to receive distribution of the account as it vests. In the case of the Management Stock Compensation Plan, the employee may defer distribution until termination of employment.

        Benefits will be distributed in the form of shares of Class A common stock unless a distribution in stock is impossible or would create an adverse impact on us. Any shares distributed will be subject to our right of first refusal and right of repurchase on termination of employment as set forth in our certificate of incorporation. In addition, with respect to the Management Compensation Plan, any shares distributed upon termination of employment will also be subject to the right of repurchase six months after distribution, as set forth in a Stock Restriction Agreement between the participant and us. Participants will be taxed on the value of any amounts distributed from the Stock Compensation Plans at the time of the distribution.

        The day-to-day administration of the Stock Compensation Plans is provided by the nonqualified plans committee appointed by our board of directors. We have the right to amend or terminate the Stock Compensation Plans at any time and for any reason.

ANNEX I

1.     Purpose.

        Science Applications International Corporation (the "Company") hereby establishes the Science Applications International Corporation 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to secure for 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. The Plan encompasses two components. One component constitutes a plan designed to comply with Section 423(b) of the Code ("423 Component"), such that the shares purchased thereunder will qualify for the favorable tax treatment under Sections 423(a) and 421(a) of the Code, although the Company makes no representation or undertaking to achieve or maintain such status. The second component, which shall apply to employees of Subsidiaries which do not fall within the definition of "subsidiary corporation" in Section 424(f) of the Code or to which the Company determines not to include in the 423 Component, constitutes a plan ("non-423 Component") which provides for the purchase of shares which do not qualify for the favorable tax treatment under Sections 423(a) and 421(a) of the Code.

2.     Definitions.


3.     Stock Subject to the Plan.

The Common Stock purchased by the Agent for employee stock purchase accounts under the Plan shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions as set forth in the Plan, as well as restrictions set forth in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of the following: (a) 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of the Effective Date, following which date no further shares will be offered or sold under the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

11.   Company Contributions.

        The Company shall contribute the Company Percent of the purchase price of each share of Common Stock purchased under the Plan.
