ITEM 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware  (the
"DGCL") provides, in general, that a corporation  incorporated under the laws of
the State of Delaware, such as the registrant,  may indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,  pending or
completed  action,  suit or proceeding  (other than a derivative action by or in
the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the  request of the  corporation  as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
another  enterprise,  against expenses (including  attorneys' fees),  judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement  actually and  reasonably  incurred by such
person in connection  with such action,  suit or proceeding if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner  such person  reasonably  believed to be in or not
opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation,  and,  with  respect to any
criminal action or proceeding,  had no reasonable cause to believe such person's
conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation
may indemnify  any such person  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)
actually and reasonably  incurred by such person in connection  with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner  such  person  reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed to the best
interests of the corporation,  except that no  indemnification  shall be made in
respect of any claim,  issue or matter as to which such  person  shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation  unless and only to the extent that the
court determines such person is fairly and reasonably  entitled to indemnity for
such  expenses.  Article  XIII of the  registrant's  By-laws  provides  that the
registrant  shall so indemnify  such  persons.  In  addition,  Article 12 of the
registrant's  Restated Certificate of Incorporation,  as amended,  provides,  in
general,  that no director of the registrant  shall be personally  liable to the
registrant  or any of its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages  for  breach  of
fiduciary  duty as a director,  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 (which  provides
that under certain circumstances,  directors may be jointly and severally liable
for willful or negligent violations of the DGCL provisions regarding the payment
of  dividends  or stock  repurchases  or  redemptions),  as the same  exists  or
hereafter may be amended,  or (iv) for any  transaction  from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.

ITEM 9.           UNDERTAKINGS.

          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)

                                                                   
                                      II-4

<PAGE>



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, and the information required to
be included in a  post-effective  amendment by those  paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or 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.

         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 herein,  and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         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  provisions  described  under Item 6 above,  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.

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

TII Industries, Inc.
1385 Akron Street
Copiague, New York

Gentlemen:

      I have acted as counsel to TII  Industries,  Inc.  (the  "registrant")  in
connection  with its  Registration  Statement  on Form  S-8  (the  "Registration
Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission relating to
500,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the registrant (the
"shares"), subject to the registrant's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

      In connection with the foregoing, I have examined, among other things, the
Registration Statement and originals or copies,  satisfactory to me, of all such
corporate  records and of all such agreements,  certificates and other documents
as I have deemed  relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion  hereinafter
expressed.  In  such  examination,   I  have  assumed  the  genuineness  of  all
signatures,  the authenticity of all documents  submitted to me as originals and
the  conformity  with the original  documents  of  documents  submitted to me as
copies.  As to any facts  material to such  opinion,  I have, to the extent that
relevant facts were not independently  established by me, relied on certificates
of public  officials and  certificates,  oaths and  declarations  of officers or
other representatives of the registrant.

      Based upon and  subject to the  foregoing,  I am of the  opinion  that the
shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted or to be granted
under the Plan will be, when  issued  pursuant  to the  provisions  of the Plan,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

                  I hereby consent to the filing of a copy of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                                                   Very truly yours,

                                                   /s/ Leonard W. Suroff, Esq.
