WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
No. W85 | August 8, 2012 |
Void After August 8, 2017
This Warrant to Purchase Stock (“Warrant”) Certifies That, for value received, BOCO INVESTMENTS, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company whose address is 000 X. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from WestMountain Index Advisor, Inc., a Colorado corporation with its principal office at 0000 X. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 (the “Company”), Exercise Shares (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the number of Exercise Shares set forth herein shall be decreased by one (1) Exercise Share for every Two Dollars ($2.00) in principal timely paid pursuant to and in accordance with all maturity dates and requirements of that certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the maximum principal amount of $1,831,538.00 issued by the Company to Holder on or about the date hereof.
1. Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
(a) “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing with the issue date of this Warrant and ending five (5) years later, unless sooner terminated as expressly set forth herein.
(b) “Exercise Price” shall mean $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.
(c) “Exercise Shares” shall mean One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,250,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and conditions expressly set forth herein.
1
2. Method of Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;
(b) Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check, or (ii) by cancellation of indebtedness, as applicable; and
(c) This Warrant.
Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then-current number of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company of the number of Exercise Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised, issue a new Warrant exercisable for the remaining number of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder.
The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
3. Covenants of the Company.
3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its capital stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
2
3.2 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.
4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Exercise Shares. In the event of changes in the Exercise Shares by reason of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of Exercise Shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of Exercise Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify Holder of such event and the number of Exercise Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.
5. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
6. No Shareholder Rights. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
7. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Xxxxxx.
8. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
3
9. Notices, etc. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex, electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient to the address on file in the books and records of the Company, and if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, within the United States, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt, within the United States, or (e) upon actual delivery if mailed or otherwise delivered in hard copy outside the Unites States. All communications shall be sent to the Company and to Holder at their respective addresses set forth above or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
10. Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
11. Governing Law. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Colorado as applied to agreements among Colorado residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of Colorado without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles. Exclusive venue for all actions arising out of this Warrant shall be in the district court in and for Larimer County, Colorado.
