Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 15, 2006, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne”) entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement, effective March 30, 2006 (the “First Amendment”), which amends the Credit Agreement dated June 15, 2004 between Teledyne, the Guarantors, the Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender (the “Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to allow Teledyne to issue standby letters of credit with an expiry date up to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (currently June 8, 2009). Prior to the First Amendment, Teledyne could not issue standby letters of credit for which the expiry date occurs more than twelve months after the date of issuance without the approval of the Required Lenders.

A copy of the First Amendment to Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
