         Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

                   Not applicable.

         Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

                   Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as
         amended (the "Delaware General Corporation Law"), provides that a
         corporation 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 or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
         investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
         officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at
         its request in such capacity in another corporation or business
         association, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
         fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
         by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding 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, and, with respect to
         any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
         his conduct was unlawful.

              Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
         a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a
         director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
         corporation or 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 Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any
         transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
         benefit.

              Article NINTH of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, as
         amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), provides that, to the
         fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
         Corporation Law, the Registrant will indemnify each person whom it
         shall have the power to indemnify under said section from and against
         any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to
         or covered by said section.

              Article ELEVENTH of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
         provides that no director of the Registrant shall be liable for
         monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent
         that the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits the elimination or
         limitation of liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty.

         Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed

                   Not applicable.

         Item 8.   Exhibits

                   The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is
         incorporated herein by reference.

         Item 9.   Undertakings

                   1.   The 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 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.

                        (2) 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.

                        (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.

                   2. The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
         determining any liability under the Securities 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 an employee
         benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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 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

<PAGE>

         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.

                   Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan

         Gentlemen:

              We have assisted in the preparation of a Registration Statement on
         Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed on April 7, 1995
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to 250,000 shares
         of the Common Stock, $.01 par value per share ("Shares"), of IGI, Inc.,
         a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), issuable under the IGI, Inc.
         Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

              We have examined the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of
         the Company, each as amended to date, and originals, or copies
         certified to our satisfaction, of all pertinent records of the meetings
         of the directors and stockholders of the Company, the Registration
         Statement and such other documents relating to the Company as we have
         deemed material for the purposes of this opinion.

              In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the
         genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents
         submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
         all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and
         the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

              Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Company
         is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws
         of the State of Delaware and that the Company has duly authorized for
         issuance the Shares, and the Shares, when issued and paid for in
         accordance with the terms of the Plan and at a price per share in
         excess of the par value per share for such Shares, will be legally
         issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.
