the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Section B of Article VI of the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides: </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;(1) <U>Right to Indemnification</U>. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to
or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a &#147;proceeding&#148;), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or
was a director or officer, of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section B shall be a contract right and shall include the right
to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses
incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee
benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same
scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(2) <U>Non-Exclusivity of

hereafter acquire under any statute, provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(3) <U>Insurance</U>. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
expense, liability or loss under Delaware General Corporation Law.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Registrant has obtained a liability insurance
policy for the officers and directors that, subject to certain limitations, terms and conditions, will insure them against losses arising from wrongful acts (as defined by the policy) in their capacity as directors and officers. </FONT></P>

judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, on account of services as a director or officer of the Registrant or as a director or officer, of
any subsidiary of the Registrant, or as a director or officer of any other company or enterprise that the person provides services to at the request of the Registrant. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 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 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 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Awardees who are granted Stock Awards under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The
Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company nor the Administrator be deemed to be a trustee of stock

to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation which may be created by this Plan.

acted as special counsel to A.P. Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), in connection with the proposed issuance of up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock (the &#147;Shares&#148;), $0.01 par value per share,
issuable under the Company&#146;s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the &#147;2007 Plan&#148;). The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S&#150;8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;), filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) on June 15, 2010 (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item&nbsp;601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the
Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares. </FONT></P>

committee thereof, in accordance with the 2007 Plan, when the person or persons entitled to receive the Shares and the number of Shares to be issued to such person or persons pursuant to the options granted under the 2007 Plan are determined by
resolution of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and upon execution, issuance and delivery of certificates representing the Shares (and notation of such issuance in the stock transfer records of the
Company) and receipt of payment for such Shares in the manner contemplated by the 2007 Plan in an amount in cash or other legal consideration of not less than the aggregate par value for such Shares, and assuming the Company completes all other
actions and proceedings required on its part to be taken prior to the issuance and delivery of the Shares pursuant to the terms of the 2007 Plan, the issuance and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of
the Company, and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This opinion is for your benefit in
