THIS BRIDGE LOAN AND CONTROL SHARE PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement") is made this October 11, 2005, by and among ULURU, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Borrower"), OXFORD VENTURES, INC, a Nevada corporation ("Lender"),
and Xxxxx X. Xxxx, the Borrower's controlling shareholder (the "Shareholder").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower have agreed upon the terms and conditions of
a merger (the "Merger") and related transactions (collectively, the
"Transactions"), as set forth in the Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the "Term Sheet"); and
WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith Lender has consummated a bridge financing
from Highgate House Funds, Ltd. and Prenox, LLC of up to $15 million through the
issuance of a series of secured convertible debentures (the "Bridge Loan");
WHEREAS, to provide Borrower with sufficient working capital to enable
Borrower to acquire certain pharmaceutical assets (the "Asset Acquisition")
while Lender and Borrower prepare the documentation necessary and appropriate to
consummate the Transactions and obtain all necessary approvals from stockholders
and third parties, Lender has agreed to utilize certain of the proceeds of the
Bridge Loan to provide Borrower with a temporary loan; and
WHEREAS, in order to secure the Borrower's obligations under such loan
including, but not limited to, the Borrower's obligations under the Note and
Security Agreement (hereinafter referenced), each dated as of even date
herewith, the Shareholder has agreed to issue and pledge to the Lender 1,200
shares of the Borrower's common stock (the "Borrower Control Shares") which will
constitute 54.5% of the outstanding capital stock of Borrower, on a
fully-diluted basis, and the Borrower has agreed to issue no additional shares
of capital stock;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Borrower and the Lenders, intending to be legally bound, agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I - LOAN
1.1. Loan. Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
to make loans to Borrower in an amount up to Ten Million, Seven-Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($10,700,000) (the "Commitment"), subject to the further terms hereof.
Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Lender shall loan to
Borrower the amount of Ten Million, Seven-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($10,700,000)
(the "Loan"). Upon written instruction, the Borrower may direct the Lender to
pay directly a portion of the Loan to the Borrower's creditors or other entities
directly without that portion of the Loan passing through the Borrower. The full
outstanding principle balance of the Loan may be prepaid on any Business Day and
shall in any case be repaid in full on the date which is 120 days after the date
hereof (the "Due Date").
1.2. The Note. Borrower has authorized the issuance of a promissory note
(the "Note") made in favor of Lender by Borrower, which shall be in the form set
forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. In Lieu of interest on the Loan, the
Borrower shall pay a fee on the Commitment at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum on the full amount of the Commitment, and such fee shall accrue for the
period from the date hereof to the Due Date regardless of the actual amount
borrowed by Borrower or whether the Loan is prepaid prior to the Due Date, and
shall be due and payable as provided in Section 1.3; provided, however, that
from and after an Event of Default, as defined in Article VI hereof (including,
without limitation, any failure to pay the outstanding amount of the Loan and
such fee on the Due Date), such fee shall increase to fifteen percent (15%) per
annum in the full amount of the Commitment for the period from the Event of
Default until the Loan is repaid in full with any accrued and unpaid fee.
1.3. Payments. Borrower will begin making consecutive monthly fee only
payments on the Loan of accrued fee commencing thirty (30) days the date hereof
and continuing through the date the Borrower shall repay the unpaid principal
amount of the Loan, together with accrued and unpaid fee; provided, that upon
the closing of the Merger, all amounts outstanding under the Loan shall be
forgiven, and the Note shall be deemed repaid in full.
ARTICLE II - SECURITY
As collateral security for Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the
Note, Borrower will grant and pledge a security interest in all of its
respective assets to Lender, upon the terms and conditions of a Security
Agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, which is being
executed and delivered simultaneously herewith. As an additional inducement to
Lender to make the Loan hereunder, the Shareholder will pledge the Borrower
Control Shares, as provided for below. All certificates representing Borrower's
equity ownership of its Subsidiaries, together with all certificates
representing the Borrower Control Shares, shall be deposited into escrow
pursuant to the Pledge and Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") being
executed simultaneously herewith
For purposes of this Agreement, a "Subsidiary" means any corporation,
partnership, joint venture or other entity in which Borrower has, directly or
indirectly, an equity interest representing 50% or more of the capital stock
thereof or other equity interests therein.

ARTICLE III - BORROWER CONTROL SHARES
3.1 Rights Relating to Borrower Control Shares. Prior to the occurrence
of an Event of Default (as defined herein) and the expiration of the applicable
Cure Period, (i) the Lender shall have no right to vote the Borrower Control
Shares at any meeting of the Borrower's stockholders, and (ii) the Lender shall
have no right to assign or transfer the Borrower Control Shares. Upon the
occurrence of such an Event of Default and the continuance thereof following the
expiration of the applicable Cure Period, the Lender shall be entitled (X) to
vote the Borrower Control Shares, and (Y) to assign or transfer such Borrower
Control Shares, and to enjoy all other rights and privileges incident to the
ownership of the Borrower Control Shares. Lender shall credit against the
amounts owed on the Loan, any dividends or distributions received with respect
to the Borrower Control Shares, and any proceeds received from the sale or
disposition of the Borrower Control Shares. 3.2 Release of Pledged Shares from
Pledge and Borrower Control Shares from Escrow. Upon the payment of all amounts
due to the Lender under the Loan Documents (as defined below) by repayment in
accordance with the terms of the Note, the parties hereto shall notify the
Escrow Agent to such effect in writing. Upon receipt of such written notice, the
Escrow Agent shall return to the party designated in the notice the Transfer
Documents and the certificates representing the Borrower Control Shares.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon full payment of
all amounts due to the Lender under the Loan Documents, by repayment in
accordance with the terms of the Note, this Agreement and Lender's security
interest and rights in and to the Borrower Control Shares shall terminate.
ARTICLE IV - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as follows in Section 4.1 to 4.11:
4.1. Organization. Borrower is a corporation duly existing under the laws
of Delaware and is qualified and licensed to do business in any jurisdiction in
which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it
be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a
material adverse effect on the business, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise), property or prospects of Borrower or any Subsidiary, or the ability
of Borrower or any Subsidiary to carry out their respective obligations under
the Loan Documents (as defined in Section 4.2 below) (a "Company Material
Adverse Effect").
4.2. Authorization. All corporate action on the part of Borrower and its
officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution,
delivery and performance of all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement,
the Note, the Security Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and all other documents
necessary or desirable in connection with the Loan (collectively, the "Loan
Documents") to which any of them may be a party have been taken. This Agreement,
the Notes, and the Security Agreement, when executed and delivered by Borrower,
shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable
against Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights and the enforcement of debtors' obligations
generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement
is pursuant to a proceeding in equity or at law.
3
4.3. Absence of Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement is not in conflict with nor does it constitute a breach of any
provision contained in Borrower's organizational documents, nor will it
constitute an event of default under any material agreement to which Borrower is
a party or by which Borrower is bound.
4.4. Consents and Approvals. Borrower has obtained all consents,
approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and
given all notices to, all governmental authorities and agencies that are
necessary for the continued operation of Borrower's business as currently
conducted, or are required by law.
4.5. Capitalization. Borrower has 3,000 authorized shares of common stock
and 2,200 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Borrower has no
other authorized, issued or outstanding shares of capital stock. There are no
subscriptions, convertible securities, options, warrants or other rights
(contingent or otherwise) currently outstanding to purchase any of the
authorized but unissued capital stock of Borrower. Except as contemplated by the
Transactions, Borrower has no obligation to issue shares of its capital stock,
or subscriptions, convertible securities, options, warrants, or other rights
(contingent or otherwise) to purchase any shares of its capital stock or to
distribute to holders of any of its equity securities, any evidence of
indebtedness or asset. No shares of Borrower capital stock are subject to a
right of withdrawal or a right of rescission under any applicable securities
law. There are no outstanding or authorized stock appreciation, phantom stock or
similar rights with respect to the Borrower. To the Knowledge of the Borrower,
except as contemplated by this Agreement, there are no agreements to which the
Borrower is a party or by which it is bound with respect to the voting
(including without limitation voting trusts or proxies), registration under any
applicable securities laws, or sale or transfer (including without limitation
agreements relating to pre-emptive rights, rights of first refusal, co-sale
rights or "drag-along" rights) of any securities of the Borrower. To the
Knowledge (as defined below) of the Borrower, there are no agreements among
other parties, to which the Borrower is not a party and by which it is not
bound, with respect to the voting (including without limitation voting trusts or
proxies) or sale or transfer (including without limitation agreements relating
to rights of first refusal, co-sale rights or "drag-along" rights) of any
securities of the Borrower.
4.6. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, claims, investigations,
arbitrations or other legal or administrative proceedings, to the Knowledge of
Borrower, threatened against Borrower at law or in equity, and to Borrower's
Knowledge, there is no basis for any of the foregoing. There are no unsatisfied
judgments, penalties or awards against or affecting Borrower or its businesses,
properties or assets. Borrower is not in default, and no event has occurred
which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute a
default by Borrower with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree known
4
to or served upon Borrower of any court or of any foreign, federal, state,
municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or
instrumentality, domestic or foreign. There is no action or suit by Borrower
pending or threatened against others. Borrower has complied with all laws,
rules, regulations and orders applicable to its current business, operations,
properties, assets, products and services the violation of which would have a
material adverse effect. There is no existing law, rule, regulation or order,
and Borrower has no Knowledge of any proposed law, rule, regulation or order,
whether foreign, federal or state, that would prohibit or materially restrict
Borrower from, or otherwise materially adversely affect Borrower in, conducting
its businesses in any jurisdiction in which it is now conducting business.
As defined in this Agreement, "Knowledge" of Borrower means the actual
knowledge by a director or officer of Borrower of a particular fact or
circumstance or such knowledge as may reasonably be imputed to such person as a
result of his actual knowledge of other facts or circumstances as well as any
other knowledge which such person would have possessed had they made reasonable
inquiry of appropriate employees and agents of Borrower with respect to the
matter in question.
4.7. Absence of Certain Events. To the Borrower's Knowledge, there is no
existing condition, event or series of events which reasonably would be expected
to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
4.8 Title to Property and Assets. Borrower does not own any real
property. Borrower has good and marketable title to all of its personal property
and assets free and clear of any material restriction, mortgage, deed of trust,
pledge, lien, security interest or other charge, claim or encumbrance which
would have a material adverse effect. With respect to properties and assets it
leases, Borrower is in material compliance with such leases and holds a valid
leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances which would have a
material adverse effect.
4.9. Governmental Permits. Borrower holds all licenses, franchises,
permits and other governmental authorizations which are required for the conduct
of any aspect of Borrower's business, as presently conducted and as presently
contemplated to be conducted, including, but not limited to, all such business
operations contemplated by, or incident to, the Transactions. All such licenses,
franchises, permits and other governmental authorizations are valid and current,
and Borrower has not received any notice that any governmental authority intends
to cancel, terminate or not renew any such license, franchise, permit or other
governmental authorization. Borrower has conducted and is conducting its
business in compliance with the requirements, standards, criteria and conditions
set forth in such licenses, franchises, permits and other governmental
authorizations, and all laws and regulations applicable thereto, and is not in
violation of any of the foregoing. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereunder will not alter or impair or require changes to any such
license, franchise, permit or other governmental authorization.
5
