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;

             (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 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) 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 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.

 (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 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 (and, where applicable, each
     filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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)  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 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.

                                 SIGNATURES


     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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, or amendment thereto, to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Village of Schaumburg,
State of Illinois, on the 2nd day of May, 1995.

Gentlemen:

     I refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") filed by Motorola, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Motorola"), with
the Securities and Exchange Commission today under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, relating to 100,000 shares of Common Stock, $3 par value per share
("Motorola Common Stock"), of Motorola issuable to non-employee directors of
Motorola who elect to receive Motorola Common Stock in lieu of all or part of
the cash compensation otherwise payable to such directors for services
rendered as directors pursuant to the Motorola,Inc. Non-Employee Directors'
Stock Plan (the "Plan").  This opinion relates to the shares of Motorola
Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement (the "Subject Shares").

     I am Senior Corporate Counsel of Motorola and as such have acted as
counsel to Motorola in connection with preparation of the Registration
Statement and the Plan.  As such counsel, it is my opinion that those Subject
Shares issued pursuant to the Plan will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have examined and relied upon,
and am familiar with, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified
to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of
officers of Motorola and of public officials, and other instruments as I have
deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinion set forth
above.

     	I consent to the use of this opinion in the Registration Statement.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    /s/ William C. Fox

                                    William C. Fox
                                    Senior Corporate Counsel
