EXECUTION COPY
THIS LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 19, 2005 by and between Antares Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, an individual residing at Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00, 0000 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx (“Lender”). In consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
Amount and Terms of Advances
Section 1.1 Advances. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to the Note (as defined below), Lender shall make Advances to Borrower (each, an “Advance”) from time to time during the period from the date hereof to the earlier to occur of the following: (i) January 15, 2007, (ii) termination of the Line of Credit (as defined below) pursuant to Section 2.2, or (iii) the earlier of the date on which (A) Borrower raises through sales of its equity securities at least Five Million United States Dollars and no/100 (USD $5,000,000.00), exclusive of amounts to be loaned by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, or (B) Borrower’s cash and cash equivalent position of at least Six Million United States Dollars and no/100 (USD $6,000,000.00) (any such date, the “Maturity Date”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed Four Million United States Dollars and no/100 (USD$4,000,000.00) (the “Line of Credit”). Borrower’s obligation to repay the Advances and to pay interest thereon is evidenced by the Promissory Note dated the date hereof and payable to the order of Lender, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (together with any amendments, extensions, renewals and replacements thereof, the “Note”), such Note being executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender as a condition to any Advance being made by Lender to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Line of Credit shall consist of Two Million United States Dollars and no/100 (USD $2,000,000.00) to be used by Borrower for general working capital and other proper corporate requirements (the “Working Capital Portion”), and Two Million United States Dollars and no/100 (USD $2,000,000.00) to be used by Borrower exclusively for the acquisition by Borrower of the business, outstanding shares or assets of another person or entity, or the investment by Borrower in any such other person or entity, and all related activities (the “M&A Portion”).
Section 1.2 Advances.
a) Each Advance of a portion of the Working Capital Portion shall be in increments of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand United States Dollars and no/100 (USD $250,000.00) (the “Working Capital Advance Amount”), or such lesser amount as agreed upon by Borrower and Lender (each such Advance of a portion of the Working Capital Portion being referred to herein as a “Working Capital Advance”), shall be made on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice
from Borrower to Lender, which notice shall specify the date of the requested Advance, the amount thereof and reasonably detailed information concerning the current status of Borrower’s business and Borrower’s financial results (such information being collectively referred to herein as the “Information”), provided that Borrower shall not, unless otherwise agreed to by Lender, request more than one (1) Advance of a portion of the Working Capital Portion every thirty (30) days. On the requested date, Lender shall disburse the amount requested by wiring such amount in immediately available funds to Borrower’s checking account at Xxxxx Fargo Bank - Minneapolis, MN (the “Bank”) (account no. 000-000-0000; ABA no. 000000000; swift code: XXXXXX0X), or in such other manner as Lender and Borrower may from time to time agree, provided that the Lender shall have given his consent to the requested Working Capital Advance and further provided that Lender shall not unreasonably withhold his consent to any request made by Borrower for a Working Capital Advance, the parties hereto acknowledging that in making any such determination for his consent, Lender shall be entitled to consider, without limitation, any adverse change in Borrower’s business. Any failure of Lender to provide a notice to Borrower not less than 10 (ten) days before the requested date of any Working Capital Advance shall obligate Lender to make the requested Advance to Borrower on such date.
|
b) |
Each request for an Advance of the entire or a portion of the M&A Portion shall be made on forty-five (45) days’ advance written notice from Borrower to Lender, which notice shall specify the date of the requested Advance (the “Advance Date”), the amount thereof and shall include the Information.. During the first thirty (30) days of such forty-five (45) day period, Lender shall have the reasonable right to seek additional information from Borrower and its personnel concerning the intended use of related Advance, together with information concerning Borrower’s business and results in addition to the Information. On or before the date that is fifteen (15) days before the Advance Date, Lender shall inform Borrower in writing whether it intends to fund the requested Advance; the failure of Lender to provide such written notice to Borrower on or before such date shall obligate Lender to make the requested Advance. Subject to the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to decline any such requested Advance in its own discretion, if the Lender should not be satisfied either with the (i) the intended use of the Advance, or (ii) the prevailing status of Borrower’s business or results. Any Advance made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be disbursed to Borrower in the amount requested by Borrower by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Borrower’s checking account at the Bank (account, etc. information being set forth above), or in such other manner as Lender and Borrower may agree. |
Section 1.3 Warrants. On each date on which Lender actually makes a Working Capital Advance to Borrower, Borrower shall issue to Lender a Warrant in substantially the form of attached Exhibit B to purchase all or a portion of the following number of shares of
2
Borrower’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the lesser of (i) $1.26 per share, or (ii) the per share price, including, as appropriate, the per share exercise price or the per share conversion price, at which Borrower, between the date hereof and the date on which Borrower is required, pursuant to the terms hereof, to issue a Warrant to Lender, issues shares of its capital stock or securities exercisable for or convertible into such shares of capital stock (in either case, the “Exercise Price”).

To the extent any such Working Capital Advance is more or less than the Working Capital Advance Amount, the number of Warrants to be issued to Lender by Borrower shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as appropriate. In addition, on the date on which Lender makes an Advance to Borrower of the complete M&A Portion, Borrower shall issue to Lender a Warrant, substantially in the form of attached Exhibit B, to purchase, at the Exercise Price, an aggregate of Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of Borrower’s common stock.

Exhibit A
FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE
USD$4,000,000.00 |
[•], 2005 | |
|
Exton, Pennsylvania | |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Antares Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, (“Holder”), at Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00, 0000 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, or such other place or address designated in writing by Holder to Borrower, the principal sum of Four Million United States Dollars and No/100 ($4,000,000.00), or so much thereof as is advanced and remains outstanding as shown in the records of Borrower and Holder (the “Principal Sum”), plus interest thereon (as calculated below) from the date on which the same is advanced until this Note is fully paid, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 365-day year.
This Note has been executed and delivered in connection with that certain Line of Credit Agreement dated as of the date first set forth above by and between Holder and Borrower (the “Line of Credit Agreement”), and this Note is subject to the terms and conditions of the Line of Credit Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
1. Payment of Principal and Interest. Borrower shall make the following payments of principal and interest under this Note:
Payments of accrued interest only are due and payable for the prior month on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter beginning on January 1, 2006 and one (1) final payment of the remaining unpaid balance of the Principal Sum and all accrued interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the Line of Credit Agreement). Interest shall accrue on the unpaid portion of the Principal Sum at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate announced on the date hereof by the Bank (as such term is defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) plus Two Percent (2%). This interest rate shall be adjusted as of the first day of each calendar quarter for the remaining days of such calendar quarter to the Bank’s (as such term is defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) prime rate prevailing on the 25th day (or if a public holiday, the next business day of the month) preceding the calendar quarter. All payments shall be applied first to interest and then to principal.
2. Late Charges. If any amount of interest and/or principal under this Note is not received by Holder within ten (10) days after written notice to Borrower of any Event of Default, then, without any requirement for additional notice to Borrower, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Holder an additional sum of two percent (2%) of such overdue amount as a late charge. Such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that the Holder will incur by reason of any late payment by Borrower. Acceptance of such late charge by the Holder shall not constitute a waiver of Borrower's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent
Holder from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Holder under this Note.
3. Prepayment – Borrower Option. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time after issuance at the option of Borrower.
4. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (whether such occurrence shall be voluntary or involuntary or occur or be effected by operation of law or otherwise) shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:
a) Borrower shall fail to pay when due any amounts owing pursuant to this Note; or
b) any event of default shall occur under any other material agreement entered into by Borrower with any other party under which any sums of monies are lent or advanced to Borrower with an obligation by Borrower to repay all or part of such loaned or advanced sums, such event having or reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business; or
c) if the Security Interest (as such term is defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) shall become invalid or unenforceable; or
d) Borrower shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, or similar law, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contravene in a timely and appropriate manner, any such proceeding or the filing of any such petition, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar official for it or for a substantial part of its property or assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (vi) become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or (vii) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or
e) An involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking (i) relief in respect of Borrower, or of a substantial part of the property or assets of Borrower, under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar official for Borrower or for a substantial part of the property of Borrower; and such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 30 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall continue unstayed and in effect for 30 days; or
f) Borrower shall breach any material term of the Line of Credit Agreement or this Note.
2
4. Remedies. Upon or at any time following an Event of Default, Holder may immediately declare the unpaid principal balance of and all interest accrued on this Note to be immediately due and payable and such amounts shall then be due and payable without further demand, presentment or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived.
5. Costs of Collection; Attorneys’ Fees. If, following Borrower’s default hereunder, Holder institutes any collection effort of any nature whatsoever for any amount due and payable hereunder, then Borrower shall pay to Holder forthwith any and all costs and expenses of collection actually incurred by Holder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit or other action or proceeding is instituted.
6. Venue; Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby agrees that any legal proceeding instituted to enforce this Note shall be brought the State courts situated in Exton, Pennsylvania, and hereby submits to personal jurisdiction therein and irrevocably waives any objection as to venue therein, and further agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
7. Conversion. The entire principal amount of this Note, or any portion thereof, and all accrued but unpaid interest may be converted, at the sole option of Holder, into shares of Borrower’s common stock at the conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $1.26 per share, or (ii) the prevailing Exercise Price (as such term is defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) in the Warrant (as such term is defined in the Line of Credit Agreement) most recently issued prior to the date hereof by Borrower to Lender. If Holder desires to convert this Note as set forth above, Holder shall surrender this Note at Borrower’s principal executive office, or, if this Note has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, then, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, Holder shall deliver an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Borrower or, in the case of mutilation, Holder shall surrender and cancel this Note. Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after any such conversion, but in any event within fifteen (15) days of the date on which this Note is surrendered for conversion, issue and deliver to Holder at his address set forth in the Line of Credit Agreement or at such other address that Holder has provided to Borrower a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as are required by applicable law). On and after the conversion hereof by Holder, Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of Borrower issuing any fractional shares to Holder upon the conversion of this Note, Borrower shall pay to Holder an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the conversion price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified herein, Borrower shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note. The shares of Borrower’s common stock to be issued by Borrower upon any conversion of this Note shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower will fully comply with all federal and state laws regarding the issuance of any such stock.
8. Security. Amounts due under this Note shall be secured by the Security Interest.
