AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

1.           FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned WestMountain Index Advisor, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of BOCO Investments, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company with an address of 262 E. Mountain Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80524 (“Lender”, which term will include any transferee of this Note), the aggregate principal balance of loans (up to a maximum principal balance of $1,853,965.00) made by the Lender to or for the account of the Borrower pursuant to the Revolving Credit Loan and Security Agreement dated of even date herewith (as such may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated hereafter, the "Loan and Security Agreement") entered into by and between the Borrower and the Lender, as set forth in the last entry on the Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein (the “Schedule”), together with interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum. Interest shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue to accrue on the outstanding principal until paid in full or converted in accordance with the terms of Section 3 below.

2.           Payments.  Borrower will pay all principal and accrued interest to Lender on or before July 31, 2013 (“Maturity Date”).  All payments by Borrower will be applied first against accrued interest owing under this Note and then against principal. If, however, Lender has incurred Expenses (as defined below), such payments shall first be applied thereto.  All payments shall be in lawful money of the United States of America in cash, by certified check, or wire transfer. 

3.           Conversion.  Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert any and all outstanding principal, accrued unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under this Note into shares of common stock in Borrower at a purchase price per share equal to the lesser of (a) Three Dollars ($3.00), or (b) an amount equal to the lowest price at which common shares in the Company are issued in any round of financing commencing after the date of this Note and prior to the conversion. Upon any conversion pursuant to this Section and issuance of the applicable shares to Lender, Lender shall deliver the Note to Borrower, and concurrently therewith Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate representing that number of shares into which Lender has converted the principal, interest, and all other amounts payable under this Note at the rate set forth above.  The principal so converted shall be deemed fully paid, and interest shall not thereafter accrue on such amounts.  No fractional shares will be issued in connection with such conversion. In lieu of fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, Borrower shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the per share price used in the conversion of this Note. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common and preferred stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon such conversion not less than such aggregate number of shares of the common and preferred stock as shall be issuable upon such conversion.
