EXHIBIT 5
October 7, 1998
Oak Industries Inc.
1000 Winter Street
Waltham, Massachusetts 02451
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel for Oak Industries Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") in connection with the preparation of a
registration statement on Form S-8 and all exhibits thereto (the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the registration of an
additional 299,500 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares").
The Shares will be issuable upon the exercise of options granted pursuant
to the Company's 1992 Non-Qualified Plan (the "1992 Plan").
For purposes of this opinion, we have examined a copy of the Registration
Statement; a copy of the 1992 Plan; the Charter and Bylaws of the Company,
each as amended to date; the votes of the Board of Directors and the
stockholders of the Company approving and adopting the 1992 Plan; and such
other documents and records as we deem necessary for purposes of this
opinion.
We have assumed that the Shares will be issued only in accordance with the
terms of the 1992 Plan and that the consideration received by the Company
for such shares will not be less than the par value per share of the
Company's Common Stock. We have also assumed that the issuance of any such
shares will not result in the issuance by the Company of more than its
authorized shares of Common Stock.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a duly organized and validly existing corporation under
the laws of the State of Delaware.
2. The Shares, when issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
1992 Plan and upon receipt of the consideration therefor by the Company,
will be validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable.
In connection with any issue and sale of the Shares, steps should be taken
to effect compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of
governmental authorities regulating sales and offerings of securities.
We understand that this opinion is to be used in connection with the
Registration Statement. We consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein.
Very truly yours,
/s/
Ropes and Gray
