without the consent of any other party thereto, would constitute a breach thereof, be in violation of any applicable Law, rule or regulation, or in any other way adversely affect the rights of Parent thereunder. Prior to the Closing, the Company will obtain the consent of the other party to any of the foregoing to the assignment thereof to Parent in all cases in which such consent is required for assignment or transfer.

Section 2.08 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Closing Adjustment. At least five (5) Business Days before the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein, other than the Bridge Loan and Extension Loans (if any) for purposes of calculating Current Assets, if applicable), a calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”), and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company that the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles,

policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Company an unaudited statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Closing Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Parent that the Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, the Company shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, the Company and its accountants shall have full access to the books and records, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Parent and/or its accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Parent’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Parent.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Company may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Parent a written statement setting forth its objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Company fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Company. If the Company delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Parent and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Parent and the Company, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If the Company and Parent fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants that shall be appointed by mutual agreement of Parent and the Company (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Company, on the one hand, and by Parent, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to the Company or Parent, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Company and Parent.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after its engagement, and its resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent fraud or manifest error.

(d) Post-Closing Adjustment to the Contribution Consideration.

(i) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Company and Parent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Parent Shares, a number of shares equal to (x) the Post-Closing Adjustment, divided by (y) the Alliqua Stock Value, to Parent. Any such shares shall be treated as unissued treasury shares of Parent.

(ii) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Parent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment, issue or cause the Transfer Agent to issue to the Company a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (x) the Post-Closing Adjustment, divided by (y) the Alliqua Stock Value.

(e) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any share issuances or disbursements made pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Contribution Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(c) Each restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit or phantom unit in respect of a share of Alliqua Common Stock (each an “Alliqua RSU”) that is outstanding under any Alliqua Stock Plan or otherwise (including any Alliqua RSUs held in participant accounts under any employee benefit or compensation plan or arrangement of Alliqua) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time whether granted pursuant to an Alliqua Stock Plan, or any other plan or arrangement, continue to vest or accelerate (if unvested) and be subject to the same terms as provided in the plan and award agreement pursuant to which such Alliqua RSU was granted and shall be converted into a number of restricted stock units, deferred stock units or phantom units, as applicable, in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock, equal to the number of shares underlying the Alliqua RSUs held by the grantee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Each agreement evidencing warrants to purchase shares of Alliqua Common Stock (each an “Alliqua Warrant”) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled, terminated and extinguished and upon the cancellation thereof be converted into a warrant or right to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock on the same terms as the applicable Alliqua Warrant.

(e) At or prior to the Effective Time, Alliqua, the Alliqua Board and its compensation committee, as applicable, and Parent, Parent’s board of directors, and its compensation committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary, including obtaining any necessary consents and providing any necessary notices, to (i) effectuate the provisions of Section 3.08(a) through Section 3.08(d) and (ii) cause Parent to assume the Alliqua Stock Plans and award agreements issued thereunder.

Section 3.09 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, Alliqua and the Alliqua Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Parent, Merger Sub, Alliqua or the Alliqua Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Parent, Merger Sub, Alliqua or the Alliqua Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding. In the event Parent, Merger Sub or Alliqua determines that withholding is required pursuant to this Section 3.09, at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Alliqua shall notify the Company of such determination, with reasonable specificity, and provide the Company with an opportunity to determine and discuss whether an alternative to such withholding is reasonably available. If after such notice and discussion, Parent, Merger Sub or Alliqua, as applicable, continues to believe that such withholding is required under the Code or any applicable Tax Law, then such amount may be deducted and withheld as so required.

No such Alliqua SEC Document, as of its date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, all Alliqua SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with federal securities Laws and the rules and regulations and published policies under or relating to the foregoing securities Laws and applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards of Nasdaq (“U.S. Securities Laws”). No Subsidiary of Alliqua is required to file any registration statement, prospectus, report, schedule, form, statement or other document with any applicable securities regulatory authority, including the SEC, or self-regulatory organization, other than Parent in connection with the Transactions. Except as set forth in the Alliqua SEC Documents, since the last day of the quarter end reported upon by Alliqua by the filing with the SEC of Alliqua’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, with respect to Alliqua, there has not been any change, effect, event, occurrence, state of facts or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Alliqua.

Section 6.08 Liabilities and Obligations; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. Except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or as contemplated hereunder in connection with the Transactions, since the date of the most recent

consolidated balance sheet included in the Alliqua SEC Documents, neither Alliqua nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any new liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) required by GAAP to be set forth on a consolidated balance sheet of Alliqua and its consolidated Subsidiaries or in the notes thereto. Alliqua is in compliance in all material respects with applicable provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act and the applicable listing and governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Alliqua has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Alliqua’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by Alliqua in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to the management of Alliqua as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. The management of Alliqua has completed its assessment of the effectiveness of Alliqua’s internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act for the year ended December 31, 2015, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective. The management of Alliqua has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation of its system of internal control over financial reporting prior to the date of this Agreement, to Alliqua’s outside auditors and the audit committee of Alliqua’s board of directors (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material respect Alliqua’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Alliqua’s internal control over financial reporting.

Section 6.09 Comment Letters.

Section 6.12 Opinion of Financial Advisor. The board of directors of Alliqua has received the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Company LLC, Alliqua’s financial advisor in connection with the Transactions, to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications limitations and other matters set forth therein, the consideration to be paid by the Alliqua Entities in the Transactions pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Alliqua Entities. A signed copy of such opinion has been delivered to the Company for informational purposes only.

Section 6.13 Compliance with Laws. Each of the Alliqua Entities is in compliance with all Laws applicable to it or its business, properties or assets, except where the failure to be in compliance would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No investigation, review or Proceeding by any Governmental Authority in relation to any actual or alleged material violation of Law by any Alliqua Entity is pending or, to the knowledge of the Alliqua Entities, threatened, nor has any Alliqua Entity received any written notice from any Governmental Authority indicating an intention to conduct the same. No Alliqua Entity is a party to any consent or similar Contract with a Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Alliqua Entity has received any written notice of, or been charged with, the violation of any material Law. Except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, all Permits required for the Alliqua Entities to conduct their businesses as currently being conducted and as presently planned to be conducted have been obtained by them and all such Permits are valid and in full force and effect. All fees and charges with respect to such Permits as of the date hereof have been paid in full.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is the Company, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 10.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 10.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Company and the Alliqua Entities shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 10.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the

Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 10.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.06 Payments; Indemnification Escrow.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for Losses arising out of the matters described in Section 11.02, any Losses payable to a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Article X shall only be satisfied from the Escrow Parent Shares in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent Indemnitees’ only recourse against the Company or its Affiliates (other than equitable relief as set forth in Section 10.09 and other than Losses arising out of the matters described in Section 11.02) with respect to any indemnity obligations arising under this Agreement shall be the Escrow Parent Shares. If any payment is required to be made to a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to

this Article X, Parent and the Company shall promptly provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, to deliver to Parent out of the Escrow Account such number of Escrow Parent Shares that in the aggregate is equal in value to such required payment. The value of each Escrow Parent Share for the purposes of satisfying Losses pursuant to this Article X shall be the Fair Market Value, determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for Losses arising out of the matters described in Section 11.02, any Losses payable to a Company Indemnitee pursuant to Article X shall only be satisfied in the form of newly issued shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Indemnification Parent Shares”); provided, however, that in no event shall the maximum number of Indemnification Parent Shares so issued and delivered exceed a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Escrow Parent Shares (the “Indemnification Shares Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company Indemnitees’ only recourse against the Alliqua Entities or their Affiliates (other than equitable relief as set forth in Section 10.09 and other than Losses arising out of the matters described in Section 11.02) with respect to any indemnity obligations arising under this Agreement shall be the Indemnification Parent Shares up to the Indemnification Shares Cap. The value of each Indemnification Parent Share for the purposes of satisfying Losses pursuant to this Article X shall be the Fair Market Value, determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment.

(c) Upon the termination of the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall disburse and release any Escrow Parent Shares remaining in the Escrow Account to the Company as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

Section 10.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Company Closing Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 10.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article IX, as the case may be.

Section 10.09 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 12.12, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set

forth in this Article X. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X. Nothing in this Section 10.09 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party's fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

Article XI. Termination

Section 11.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Alliqua Entities;

(b) by Alliqua by written notice to the Company if:

(i) none of the Alliqua Entities is then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article IX and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by the Company within ten days of the Company’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Parent; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or Section 9.02. shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by the Outside Date unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Alliqua Entities to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

(iii) the conditions to closing set forth in Section 9.01 or Section 9.03. have been fulfilled, and the Company fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within thirty (30) days thereof;

(i) the Company is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Alliqua Entities pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article IX and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by the Alliqua Entities within ten days of Alliqua’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or Section 9.03. shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Company to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

(iii) the conditions to closing set forth in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 have been fulfilled, and Parent, Alliqua or Merger Sub fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within thirty (30) days thereof;

(d) by Alliqua or the Company if:

(i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable; or

(ii) if the Requisite Alliqua Vote shall not have been obtained at the Alliqua Stockholders Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof taken in accordance with this Agreement; or

(iii) if the Transactions have not been consummated by January 31, 2017; provided, that, subject to the below, Parent may extend such date to February 28, 2017 and thereafter to March 31, 2017 with at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Company prior to the applicable outside date if either (A) Parent has been unable to fulfill the closing condition set forth in Section 9.02(e) or (B) there are delays resulting directly from comments from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement (the later of such dates, the “Outside Date”), and provided, that as a condition to the effectiveness of each one-month extension, Alliqua or Parent shall lend $350,000 to the Company prior to the first day of the applicable extension period to offset operating expenses of the Company during such month (each an “Extension Loan” and together, the “Extension Loans”). Each Extension Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note, substantially in the form of the Bridge Loan Note, and shall be repaid in full upon the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.01(d) shall not be available to any party that has breached in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have proximately contributed to the occurrence of the failure of a condition to the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 11.02 Effect of Termination.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.01, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any Liability of either party to the other party,

except that any such termination of this Agreement shall not relieve: (a) any party of its liability to the other parties with respect to any fraud by such party or material breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents, in each case occurring prior to such termination; or (b) the parties obligations under Section 7.02(b) and Article XII hereof.
