ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
A. 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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
<PAGE>
(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, represents 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 a 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 (i) and (ii) above do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, 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 section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the 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; and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered that 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 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 this
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. 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 controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit of
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.

RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8 OF LITTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") being filed by Litton Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purposes of
registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $1 per share, to be
issued or reserved for issuance in connection with the Company's 1984 Long-Term
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") (such shares of the Company's stock, the
"Shares").
I have examined original or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of such corporate records, certificates of public officials, and
other documents as I have deemed necessary or relevant as a basis for my opinion
set forth herein.
Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware.
2. When the Shares have been issued under the Plan in the manner contemplated
by the Registration Statement, while the Registration Statement is
effective and in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Shares
will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to me under Item 5 of Part II of the
Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I
am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act.
Very truly yours,
/s/ JOHN E. PRESTON
John E. Preston
