ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of New
Jersey. Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act permits
indemnification of directors, officers and employees of a corporation under
certain conditions and subject to certain limitations. Article Seventh of
the Company's Amended Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Amended
Certificate"), contains provisions for the indemnification of directors,
officers and other corporate agents against certain liabilities and
expenses, each to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey Business
Corporation Act. In addition, Article Seventh of the Amended Certificate
provides that a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to
the Company or its shareholders, except for liability for any breach of duty
based upon an act or omission (i) in breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) not in good faith or
involving a knowing violation of law, or (iii) resulting in receipt by the
director of an improper personal benefit.
The Company's By-Laws contain no provision regarding indemnification
of officers or directors.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
Inapplicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS
See Index to Exhibits, attached hereto.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
1. The Company hereby undertakes:
(a) 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 (the "Securities Act");
(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
-3-
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(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 Company pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities 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.
(c) 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.
2. The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of deter-
mining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person of
the Company in connection with the securities being registered, the Company
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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to MicroFrame, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating
to the offering of 250,000 shares (the "Option Shares") of Common Stock,
$.001 par value per share, to certain employees, directors and consultants
of the Company, issuable upon exercise of options which either have been or
may from time to time be granted by the Company under its 1994 Stock Option
Plan (the "1994 Plan").
In connection with the foregoing, we have examined originals or
copies, satisfactory to us, of all such corporate records and of all such
agreements, certificates and other documents as we have deemed relevant and
necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In such
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the
conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as
copies or facsimiles. As to any facts material to such opinion, we have, to
the extent that relevant facts were not independently established by us,
relied on certificates of public officials and certificates of officers or
other representatives of the Company.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that the Option Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the 1994
Plan and in accordance with the options issuable pursuant to the 1994 Plan,
upon exercise of which the Option Shares become issuable, will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
