with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment hereto which indicates that all securities offered
hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof
from their respective dates of filing (such documents, and the documents
enumerated above, being hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents");
provided, however, that the documents enumerated above or subsequently filed by
Lucent pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act in

that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement
so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part hereof.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

                  Not Applicable.


ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

                  Not Applicable.


ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

                  The Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") of the
Company provides that a director of the Company will not be personally liable to
the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except, if required by the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the "DGCL") as amended from time to time, for liability (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, which concerns
unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Neither the amendment nor repeal of such provision will eliminate or reduce the
effect of such provision in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of
action, suit or claim that, but for such provision, would accrue or arise prior
to such amendment or repeal.

                  While the Certificate provides directors with protection from
awards for monetary damages for breach of their duty of care, it does not
eliminate such duty. Accordingly, the Certificate will have no effect on the
availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based on
a director's breach of his or her duty of care.

                  The Certificate provides that each person who was or is made a
party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
<PAGE>   5
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a
person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or
officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action
in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any
other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, will be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by
the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of
any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company
to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to
provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. Such
right to indemnification includes the right to have the Company pay the expenses
incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition,
subject to the provisions of the DGCL. Such rights are not exclusive of any
other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
provision of the Certificate, By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of such
provision will in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company thereunder in respect of any
occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

                  The Certificate also specifically authorizes the Company to
maintain insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights to employees or
agents of the Company. The directors and officers of Lucent are covered by
insurance policies indemnifying against certain liabilities, including certain
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), which
might be incurred by them in such capacities.

                                    amended. (Incorporated by reference to
                                    Exhibit 3(i) of the Current Report on Form
                                    8-K dated July 18, 1996, File No. 001-11639)

         5                          Opinion of Pamela F. Craven, Vice President
                                    - Law of the registrant, as to the legality
                                    of the securities to be issued.

         23.1                       Consent of Pamela F. Craven is contained in
                                    the opinion of counsel filed as Exhibit 5.

         23.2                       Consent of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.

         24                         Powers of Attorney executed by officers and
                                    directors who signed this registration
                                    statement.


ITEM 9.           UNDERTAKINGS

                  (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:

                  (a) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
         the 1933 Act;

                  (b) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
         after the effective date of this 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 this registration statement; and

                  (c) 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;
<PAGE>   7
provided, however, that paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b) 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 registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement.

                  (2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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.

                  (3) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.

                  (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the 1933 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 SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that

registration statement or amendment thereto to be signed on its behalf by the

June 5, 1998

Lucent Technologies Inc.

Murray Hill, NJ 07974

Dear Sirs:

With reference to the registration statement on Form S-8 which Lucent
Technologies Inc. (the "Company") proposes to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
registering 1,342,766 common shares, par value $.01 per share, (including an
equal number of Preferred Share Purchase Rights that initially trade with the
common shares) of the Company (the "Shares") which may be offered and sold by
the Company under the Yurie Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Nonstatutory
Stock Option Plan and 2,228 Shares which may be offered and sold by the
Company under the Data Labs, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan(the "Plans"), I am of
the opinion that all proper corporate proceedings have been taken so that any
Shares to be offered and sold which are of original issuance, upon sale and
payment therefor in accordance with the Plans and the resolutions of the Board
of Directors relating to the offering and sale of common shares thereunder, will
be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC in connection with
the registration statement referred to above.


                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     /s/ Pamela F. Craven

                       CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


We consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration statement of
