ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"General Corporation Law") provides, in general, that a corporation shall have
power to 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,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was
a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity may be against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnitee must not have
had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     Section 145(b) of the General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation
against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

     Section 145(g) of the General Corporation Law provides in general that a
corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any
liability asserted against and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising
out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power
to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the law.

     The Company's By-Laws require the Company to indemnify each of its
directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law in
connection with any actual or threatened action or proceeding arising out of his
service to the Company or to other organizations at the Company's request.

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, as amended (the "Act");

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of this 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) shall not
apply to information contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, 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 of
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 Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of the employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to section 15(d) or the Exchange Act) 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.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act 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.

                     [LETTERHEAD OF ROGERS & WELLS LLP]


April 22, 1998

DVI, Inc.
500 Hyde Park
Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            We have acted as special counsel to DVI, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing of
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (as the same may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, the "Registration Statement") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), covering 60,000 shares (the "Shares") of
common stock, par value $.005 per share, which have been reserved by the
Company for issuance upon exercise of warrants (the "Warrants") previously
granted to the Company's non-employee directors.

            In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have examined the
Registration Statement in the form to be filed with the Commission on or about
the date hereof. In addition, we have examined originals or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records
and other instruments as we have deemed necessary, including the Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and the corporate proceedings of the
Company relating to the authorization and issuance of the Shares. As to factual
matters relevant to the opinion set forth below we have, with your permission,
relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and public officials.

            Based upon the foregoing, and such examination of law as we have
deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly
authorized and, when issued and delivered by the Company upon exercise of the
Warrants and payment of the exercise price thereof in accordance with the terms
of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
<PAGE>   2
            We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not
admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the 1933 Act, or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder.

                                    Very truly yours,


                                    /s/ Rogers & Wells LLP
