Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 9, 2011, Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a waiver and forbearance agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) with the requisite holders of the Registrant's 12% senior secured notes (the “Notes”) whereby the holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) agreed to forbear the exercise of their rights under the Notes and waive the default thereof until December 31, 2011.  The Registrant issued a total of $1,725,000 principal amount of the Notes in 2008 and 2009.  $1,035,000 of the Notes matured on November 19, 2010, $280,000 of the Notes matured on December 22, 2010 and $410,000 of the Notes matured on February 3, 2011.

As part of the Extension Agreement, the Registrant has agreed to take prompt steps to seek to reduce its outstanding indebtedness by permitting the Noteholders to convert the Notes into shares of the Registrant's common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share, which will require the Registrant to obtain stockholder approval to, among other things, increase the number of the Registrant's authorized common stock.

Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of the Registrant

The information set forth in Item 1.01 hereof is incorporated herein by reference.
