               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

       The following  documents  filed by the Registrant with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  pursuant to the Securities Act or the
Securities   Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended  (the  "Exchange  Act"),  are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement: (i) the Registrant's
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  January 2, 2000 (File No.
1-15295); and (ii) the description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in
the  Registrant's  Registration  Statement  on Form 10,  as  amended  (File  No.

       All documents  subsequently  filed by the Registrant  with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 13(a),  13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act"),  after the date of this  Registration
Statement,  but  prior  to the  filing  of a  post-effective  amendment  to this

Registration  Statement have been sold or which  deregisters all such securities
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this
Registration  Statement.  Each  document  incorporated  by  reference  into this
Registration  Statement  shall  be  deemed  to be a part  of  this  Registration
Statement from the date of filing of such document with the Commission until the

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

       None.


Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

       Section  102(b)(7) of the Delaware  General  Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
permits a Delaware corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or
eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of a director
to the  corporation  or its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages  for breach of
fiduciary  duty,  except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the  corporation 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, or (iv) for any  transaction  from
which the director derived an improper  personal  benefit.  Article SEVEN of the
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation  provides that no director of
the Registrant shall be personally  liable to the Registrant or its stockholders
in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 102(b)(7).

       Under  Section 145 of the DGCL, a Delaware  corporation  has the power to
indemnify  directors and officers under certain  prescribed  circumstances  and,
subject to certain  limitations,  against certain costs and expenses,  including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to
which any of them is a party by reason of being a  director  or  officer  of the
Registrant  if it is  determined  that  the  director  or the  officer  acted in
accordance  with the applicable  standard of conduct set forth in such statutory
provision.   Article  EIGHT  of  the   Registrant's   Restated   Certificate  of
Incorporation  provides  that  any  person  who  was or is  made a  party  or is
threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative, by reason
of  the  fact  that  such  person  is or was a  director  or an  officer  of the
Registrant or is or was



                                     II - 1

serving at the request of the  Registrant  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 an employee benefit plan, whether
the basis of such  proceeding  is alleged  action in an  official  capacity as a
director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  in any  capacity  while  serving  as a
director,  officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.

The  Registrant  has  purchased  directors'  and officers'  liability  insurance
covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by the officers and directors
of the Registrant in connection with the performance of their duties.

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;

                     (iii) To include any material information  with respect  to
                     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 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.

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated
2049 Century Park East, Suite 1500
Los Angeles, California  90067-3101

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We are counsel to Teledyne  Technologies  Incorporated  (the "Company")
and we 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 400,000 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  in  connection  with the
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 401(k) Plan (the "Plan").

         We have examined the originals,  certified  copies or copies  otherwise
identified to our  satisfaction  as being true copies of the Plan and such other
documents  as we have  deemed  necessary  or  appropriate  for  purposes of this
opinion.
