Item 9. Undertakings.
     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
     (1) To file, during any period in which offers of 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 20% 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 the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
     Provided, however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
     (2) 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 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) 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
* * *
     (h) 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 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.
SIGNATURES
     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Los Angeles, State of California, on this 5th day of August, 2005.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
     I am Vice President, Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary to Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”) and I have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an additional 201,600 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”), which are to be issued from time to time to certain employees of the Company and its affiliates and certain non-employees who render significant services to the Company and its affiliates in connection with the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 1999 Incentive Plan as amended to date (the “Plan”).
     I have examined the originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies of the Plan and such other documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
     Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance, and that the Shares, when issued under the terms of the Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Melanie S. Cibik
Vice President, Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary
