Item 9. Undertakings.
A. Post-Effective Amendments.
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:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in
the registration statement;
(c) 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 subparagraphs (a) and (b) above will not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
subparagraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
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.
B. Subsequent Documents Incorporated by Reference.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
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 Section
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.
C. Claims for Indemnification.
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 other
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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-8
that Imation Corp. intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the purpose of
registering 579,111 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of Imation Corp. (the "Company"), which may be issued pursuant to the
Company's Stock Option Plan for Employees of Cemax-Icon, Inc. (the "Plan"). I
have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as I have
considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares,
when issued and paid for in accordance with the Plan, will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, provided that (i) the purchase
price is at least equal to the par value of the Shares, and (ii) the
Registration Statement shall have become and remains effective under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Carolyn A. Bates
