EXHIBIT A
WARRANT AGREEMENT
THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT ("Warrant Agreement"), dated as of ,
2000, between THE WISER OIL COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
WISER INVESTMENT COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("WIC").
WHEREAS, the Company and WIC have previously entered into that certain
Amended and Restated Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 13, 1999
(as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the "Warrant Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company has agreed
to sell, and WIC has agreed to purchase, the Warrants (as hereinafter defined),
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, the Company and WIC are entering into or have entered into a
Stockholder Agreement, pursuant to which WIC has agreed, among other things, to
certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares (as hereinafter defined).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Warrants. The Company hereby issues to WIC warrants (the
--------- --------
"Initial Warrants") to purchase __________ fully paid and nonassessable shares,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof (the "Initial Warrant
Shares"), of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), at the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined).
Section 2. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.
--------- ---------------------------------
(a) The initial purchase price for the Initial Warrant Shares, commencing
as of the date hereof, shall be $4.25 per share of Common Stock, which purchase
price shall hereafter be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof.
Except as the context otherwise requires, the term "Purchase Price" as used in
this Warrant Agreement shall mean the Purchase Price per share of Common Stock
then in effect as of the relevant date and shall reflect all adjustments made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof. "Aggregate Purchase Price"
means the aggregate purchase price payable for the shares of Common Stock
purchasable under this Warrant Agreement.
(b) WIC may exercise the Warrants in whole at any time or in part from
time to time (i) on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date (as
defined in the Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
December 13, 1999, between the Company and WIC) and (ii) at or prior to the
close of business on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date.
(c) WIC may exercise all or any portion of the Warrants by either of the
following methods:
(i) If electing to pay the Purchase Price in cash, WIC shall deliver
the Form of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A to the Company at the
address set forth in Section 12 hereof, together with payment of the
Aggregate Purchase Price, or the proportionate part thereof if only a
portion of the Warrants are exercised. Payment may be made in the form of
cash, or by certified check, bank draft or money order payable in lawful
money of the United States of America to the order of the Company; or
(ii) If electing to pay the Purchase Price by surrendering a portion
of the Warrants (a "Cashless Exercise"), WIC shall deliver the Form of
Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A to the Company at the address set
forth in Section 12 hereof, indicating its election on such form. In the
event of a Cashless Exercise, WIC shall exchange the Warrants being
exercised for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the number
of shares of Common Stock subject to such Warrants, multiplied by (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then current market price per
share of Common Stock minus the Purchase Price, and the denominator of
which shall be the then current market price per share of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) a Cashless Exercise may only be effected
as of a date on which the then current market price per share of Common
Stock exceeds the Purchase Price, and (B) the Company shall have no
obligation to issue shares of Common Stock for a consideration less than
the aggregate par value of the shares of Common Stock then issued. For the
purpose of any computation under this subsection only, the current market
price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the
closing sale price (or if no sale price is available, the average of the
last reported bid and asked prices) in the principal market in which the
Common Stock is traded on the trading day immediately preceding the day
upon which such Warrants are exercised.
(d) Within five business days after receipt of such notice and payment,
the Company shall issue to WIC the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be
purchased, together with cash made available by the Company pursuant to Section
4 hereof in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise
issuable upon such exercise.
Section 3. Adjustments to Number of Shares and Purchase Price. The
--------- --------------------------------------------------
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants under this
Warrant Agreement and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time after the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the exercise in
full of all Warrants then outstanding and the close of business on the seventh
anniversary of the Closing Date, as follows:
(a) If the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock (including
shares held in treasury) after the date hereof (other than shares of Common
Stock issued (i) pursuant to this Warrant Agreement or any other Warrant
Agreement entered into by the parties pursuant to the Warrant Purchase
Agreement, (ii) as described in Subsections (b)(i) and (ii) below or pursuant to
any interests, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants distributed as
described in Subsection (d) below, (iii) pursuant to the terms of the Company's
Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued by the Company pursuant
to that certain Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, dated December
13, 1999, between the Company and WIC, or (iv) pursuant to awards granted
after
-2-
the Closing Date under the Company's stock option plans or other director,
officer or employee equity compensation plans, contracts or arrangements)
("Additional Stock"), then the Company shall issue to WIC additional warrants
("Additional Warrants" and, together with the Initial Warrants, the "Warrants")
to purchase an additional number of shares of Common Stock under this Warrant
Agreement ("Additional Warrant Shares" and, together with the Initial Warrant
Shares, the "Warrant Shares") determined by (x) multiplying the number of shares
purchasable under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such issuance of
Additional Stock times a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such
Additional Stock and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Stock and (y) subtracting therefrom the number of shares purchasable under this
Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Stock. With
respect to each issuance of Additional Stock, the Purchase Price of the
Additional Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this Section 3(a) as a result
of such issuance shall be determined based upon the date on which such
Additional Stock is issued, as set forth in Exhibit B. The Purchase Price and
---------
number of Additional Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this subsection (a)
as determined for each Additional Stock issuance shall be fixed at the time of
such issuance of Additional Stock, subject to further adjustment pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3.
(b) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on Common Stock in Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of such shares, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of such shares, the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of Warrants under this Warrant Agreement outstanding
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that WIC thereafter shall be
entitled to receive upon exercise of the unexercised Warrants, at the same
Aggregate Purchase Price (as in effect at the time of such event and from time
to thereafter), the number of shares of Common Stock that WIC would have owned
or have been entitled to receive immediately following any of the events
described above had such Warrants been exercised in full immediately prior to
any such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection shall, in the
case of a dividend on Common Stock in Common Stock, become effective as of the
record date therefor and, in the case of a subdivision or combination, be made
as of the effective date thereof.
(c) In the event of any adjustment of the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of the unexercised Warrants pursuant to Section
3(b) above, the Purchase Price applicable to the Initial Warrant Shares and any
Additional Warrant Shares (in effect immediately prior to such adjustment) shall
be proportionately adjusted.
(d) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common
Stock (the "Company Shareholders") interests in the Company (other than Common
Stock), evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or
distributions), or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase such
interests, evidences of indebtedness or assets, then in each such case the
Purchase Price applicable to each Initial Warrant Share and each Additional
Warrant Share in effect thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price applicable to each Initial Warrant Share and each Additional
Warrant Share (as in effect immediately prior thereto) by a fraction, of
-3-
which the numerator shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock multiplied by the current market price per share of Common Stock (as
defined in Section 3(f) below) on the record date mentioned below, less the then
fair market value, as reasonably determined by the Company, of the interests,
evidences of indebtedness, assets or rights or warrants so distributed to all
such holders, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, multiplied by such current market price per
share of Common Stock. Such adjustments shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made, and shall become effective as of the record date for the
determination of the Company Shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) In the event of any capital reorganization of the Company or any
reclassification of the Common Stock (except as provided in Section 3(b) or (d)
above or Section 3(h) below), WIC, upon exercise of its Warrants, shall be
entitled to receive, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock to which WIC would
have become entitled upon exercise immediately prior to the reorganization or
reclassification, the shares of Common Stock, or other interests in the Company
or property of the Company that it would have been entitled to receive at the
same Aggregate Purchase Price upon such reorganization or reclassification if
its Warrants had been exercised immediately prior thereto; and in any such case,
appropriate provision (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company) shall be made for the application of this Section 3 with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the unexercised Warrants (including but not
limited to the allocation of the adjusted Purchase Price between or among shares
of Common Stock and any other interests in the Company), to the end that this
Section 3 (including the adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock or
other interests in the Company purchasable and the Purchase Price thereof) shall
thereafter be reflected, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in all subsequent
exercises of the Warrants for any shares of Common Stock or other interests in
the Company, or other property, thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the
Warrants.
(f) For the purpose of any computation under Section 3(d) above, the
current market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be
the average of the daily closing sale prices (or, if no sale price is reported
on a particular day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices for
such day) for the 20 consecutive trading days before the day in question in the
principal market in which the Common Stock is traded.
(g) No adjustments shall be made for any cash distributions, whether paid
or declared. No adjustment under this Section 3 to the Purchase Price or the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be made unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the
Aggregate Purchase Price or number of Warrant Shares; provided, however, that
any adjustments which by reason of this subsection are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to
the nearest one-hundredth of one share of Common Stock as the case may be.
(h) (i) In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of
the Company with or into, another corporation or any other entity (other
than a consolidation or merger that
-4-
does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common
Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (a
"Corporate Change"), then as a condition to such Corporate Change, the
corporation or any other entity formed by such consolidation or merger or
the entity that shall have acquired such assets, as the case may be, shall
execute and deliver to WIC a supplemental warrant agreement providing that
WIC shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of the then
unexercised Warrants, the kind and amount of corporate interests and other
securities and property receivable upon such Corporate Change by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrants might have
been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Change. Such
supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in
this Section 3. The above provision of this subsection shall similarly
apply to any subsequent Corporate Change.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(b)(i) of this Warrant
Agreement, in the event that the Company notifies WIC of a Corporate Change
pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Warrant Agreement, WIC shall have the
right, for a period of 30 days immediately prior to the consummation of
such Corporate Change, to exercise the Warrants in whole or in part,
provided that such exercise shall be contingent upon the consummation of
such Corporate Change if such consummation occurs prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 4. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to
--------- --------------------
issue any fractions of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants.
If any fraction (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) of a share of Common
Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 4, be issuable upon the
exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount
in cash equal to the current value of such fraction computed on the basis of the
closing sale price (or if no sale price is available, the average of the last
reported bid and asked prices) on the trading day immediately preceding the day
upon which such Warrant was exercised in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
Section 5. Certain Notices.
--------- ---------------
(a) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares into which a Warrant is
exercisable is to be adjusted, or the Purchase Price is to be adjusted, in
either case as herein provided, the Company shall compute the adjustment in
accordance with Section 3, and shall, promptly after such adjustment becomes
effective, cause a notice of such adjustment or adjustments to be given to WIC
in accordance with Section 12 and shall deliver to WIC a certificate of the
Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the number of Warrant
Shares into which each Warrant is exercisable after such adjustment, or the
adjusted Purchase Price, as the case may be, and setting forth in brief a
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which
such adjustment was made.
-5-
(b) If prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) the
Company executes a definitive agreement with respect to a Corporate Change or
(ii) the occurrence of a Corporate Change otherwise becomes probable, the
Company shall promptly notify WIC of such Corporate Change in accordance with
Section 12, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the
Corporate Change and the last day upon which WIC may exercise Warrants pursuant
to Section 3(h)(ii).
Section 6. Reservation and Authorization of Warrant Shares.
--------- -----------------------------------------------
(a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, solely for issue upon the exercise of Warrants as herein
provided, such number of its authorized but unissued Warrant Shares deliverable
upon the exercise of Warrants as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in
full of all outstanding Warrants.
(b) The Company will use its best efforts so that all Initial Warrant
Shares are and all Additional Warrant Shares will be, at all times that Warrants
are exercisable, duly approved for listing subject to official notice of
issuance on each securities exchange, if any, or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable, on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or traded.
(c) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon
due exercise of Warrants shall upon issuance be duly and validly authorized and
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive or similar rights.
Section 7. Payment of Taxes. The Company covenants and agrees that it
--------- ----------------
will pay all stamp, transfer and similar taxes in connection with the issuance,
sale and delivery of the Warrants hereunder, as well as all such taxes
attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the
Warrants and payment of the appropriate Purchase Price. The Company will not,
however, be required to pay any such taxes imposed in connection with any
transfer of any Warrants or Warrant Shares or any federal or state income taxes
payable in respect of WIC's purchase, ownership, sale, transfer, exercise or
other disposition of Warrants or Warrant Shares.
Section 8. No Rights as a Company Shareholder. This Warrant Agreement
--------- ----------------------------------
and the Warrants shall not be deemed to provide WIC with any rights as a
shareholder of the Company or to confer to WIC any right to vote upon any matter
submitted to the Company Shareholders, or to give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of Common Stock,
reclassification of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or
otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting the
Company Shareholders or to receive distributions or subscription rights, or
allocations of any corporate items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit,
or notice of Internal Revenue Service proceedings or adjustments, or otherwise.
Section 9. Regulatory Approvals and Listings.
--------- ---------------------------------
-6-
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates
of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Warrant prior to (i) the obtaining of
any approval of any governmental agency that the Company shall, in its
reasonable discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, (ii) the
admission of such shares to listing on any securities exchange on which the
Common Stock is then listed and (iii) the completion of any registration or
other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling of
any governmental body that the Company shall, in its reasonable discretion,
determine to be necessary or advisable. The Company agrees to take such action
as may be required to satisfy such conditions as to permit the exercise of the
Warrants.
Section 10. Assignment and Transfer. The rights and interest of WIC
---------- -----------------------
under this Warrant Agreement, the Warrants granted hereunder and the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, may not be assigned, encumbered
