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) 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 with or furnished to the Commission 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 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.

  Re:   TII Network Technologies, Inc.

Dear Sir or Madam:

        We have acted as counsel to TII Network Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), covering 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Additional Shares”), upon the exercise of options which may from time to time be granted by the Company under the Company’s 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), and such additional indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock as may be issued under the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan.

        In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, the By-laws of the Company, as amended, and minutes of the corporate proceedings of the Company relating to the Plan. In addition, we have examined and relied upon such other matters of law, certificates and examinations of public officials as we have deemed relevant to the rendering of this opinion. We have examined the forms of option contracts which are Exhibits to the Registration Statement. In all of our examinations, we have assumed the accuracy of all information furnished to us and the genuineness of all documents and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, facsimile or photostatic copies thereof, as well as the genuineness of all signatures on all such documents.


        Our opinion is limited to the date hereof and we do not in any event undertake to advise you of any facts or circumstances occurring or coming to our attention subsequent to the date hereof.

        Finally, we are counsel admitted to practice only in the State of New York, and we express no opinions as to the applicable laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the United States of America.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Additional Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options that may be granted under the Plan will be, when issued pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

        We hereby consent to the filing of a copy of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Act.

  Very truly yours,


  /s/ TROUTMAN SANDERS LLP
