EXHIBIT 10.1
FORBEARANCE
AGREEMENT
This FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT (this “
Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of July 22,
2009 by and among (a) York Pharma plc, a public limited company
incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with company
number 04422613 (the “ Borrower ”)
and (b) ULURU Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “
Lender ”). All capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as in
the Note Purchase Agreement referenced below.
WHEREAS , the Borrower and the Lender are parties to
that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2009
(the “ Note Purchase Agreement ”), pursuant to
which the Lender has made certain loans to the Borrower (the
“ Loans ”);
WHEREAS , the current outstanding principal amount under
the Note is US$1,000,000.00 and the current accrued but unpaid
interest amount under the Note is US$24,246.58;
WHEREAS , as communicated to the Borrower by the Lender
in a letter to the Borrower dated July 21, 2009, all such amounts
of principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Note are due
and payable on the date hereof;
WHEREAS , the Borrower has informed the Lender that it
is only able to pay US$250,000.00 (the “ Present Payment
Amount ”) of such amounts, which will result in a balance
of US$774,246.58 remaining unpaid under the Note as of the date
hereof (the “ Unpaid Amount ”),
WHEREAS , the Borrower and the Lender acknowledge and
agree that the Present Payment Amount will be applied first to
satisfy any and all accrued but unpaid interest due under the Note;
and
WHEREAS , the inability of the Borrower to satisfy in
full the aggregate amount due under the Note on the date hereof
represents a failure by the Borrower to make due and punctual
payment of any interest or principal on the Note when the same
shall become due and payable, thereby constituting an Event of
Default under the Note (such Event of Default being herein referred
to as the “ Specified Default ”).
