SECOND AMENDMENT

TO

AMENDED AND RESTATED
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of June 29, 2016, is between Mines Management, Inc., an Idaho corporation (the “Company”), and Douglas D. Dobbs (“Executive”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H  T H A T

 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company are party to that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2011, as amended on May 23, 2016 (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Executive is employed by the Company;

 

WHEREAS, the Company, Hecla Mining Company, a Delaware corporation (“Hecla”), and HL Idaho Corp., an Idaho corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hecla (“Merger Sub”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 23, 2016 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hecla (the “Merger”);

 

WHEREAS, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will result in a change in control of the Company, potentially triggering certain payments and benefits to Executive, which payments and benefits may be subject to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and which may result in certain 280G-related gross-up benefits pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company wish to amend the Employment Agreement to eliminate any 280G gross-up benefits that may otherwise be payable as a result of the Closing of the Merger and instead provide for Executive to receive payments only up to the maximum amount permitted without triggering adverse tax consequences under Code Sections 280G and its companion Code provisions; and

 

WHEREAS, Section 19 of the Employment Agreement permits the parties to amend the Employment Agreement by written instrument, and Employee and the Company now wish to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth herein.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows.

AMENDMENT

 

1.             Section 8 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended, effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing of the Merger, by deleting the entirety of Section 8 and replacing it with the following:

 

“Section 8.         280G Cutback.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to the provision of this Section 8 (a “Payment”)) would cause Executive to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be required to reduce the amount of Payments to which he would otherwise be entitled to receive by the minimum amount necessary such that no portion of the Payments would be subject to the Excise Tax.  The reduction shall be accomplished by first reducing any continuation of health benefits provided by Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, and then by reducing any severance to which Executive may be entitled.  All determinations required to be made, including the amount of any required cutback, shall be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”).  The Accounting firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and to the Executive as soon as reasonably practicable upon completion of such calculations.  All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.”

 

2.             In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason without consummation of the Merger, this Amendment shall be null and void.

 

3.             Except for the above amendments, the Employment Agreement shall be unamended and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

4.             This Amendment may be executed in counterparts.

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

 

THE TRANSFER OF THESE
SECURITIES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS, AND CANNOT
BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACTS, OR EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION
ARE AVAILABLE.

 

 

THIS
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of this _____ day of ___________, 20___, by and
between PFO Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Matthew G. Cevasco (the “Optionee”).

 

In
2015, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan known as the “PFO Global, Inc. 2015 Equity
Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”), and recommended that the Plan be approved by the Company’s shareholders.
In June 2015, the shareholders of the Company adopted and approved the Plan. The Administrator has granted the Optionee a stock
option to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock as set forth below, and in consideration of the granting
of that stock option the Optionee intends to remain in the service of the Company as an employee, director, consultant or advisor,
as the case may be. The Company and the Optionee desire to enter into a written agreement with respect to such option in accordance
with the Plan. Therefore, as an incentive and to encourage stock ownership, and also in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows.

 

1.Incorporation
of Plan. This Option is granted pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, and the terms and definitions of the Plan are incorporated
into this Agreement by reference and made a part of this Agreement. To the extent any provision in this Agreement is inconsistent
with the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of, or access to, a copy of the
Plan.

 

2.Grant of Option. Subject
to the terms, restrictions, limitations and conditions stated in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby evidences its
grant to the Optionee of the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of the number of shares
of the Company’s common stock, par value, $.0001 per share (the “Stock”), set forth on Schedule A attached
and incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Option shall be exercisable in the amounts and at the time(s) specified
on Schedule A. The Option shall expire and shall not be exercisable on or after the date specified on Schedule A or on such earlier
date as determined pursuant to Sections 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement. THIS OPTION IS A NON-INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION.

 

3.Purchase Price. The price
per share to be paid by the Optionee for the shares subject to this Option (the “Exercise Price”) shall be as
specified on Schedule A, which price shall be an amount not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock as of the Date
of Grant (defined below). The Administrator has in good faith set the Fair Market Value of these Options.

 

4.Exercise Terms. The Optionee
must exercise the Option for at least the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares of purchasable Stock as to which the Option
remains unexercised. If this Option is not exercised with respect to all or any part of the shares subject to this Option prior
to its expiration, the shares with respect to which this Option was not exercised shall no longer be subject to this Option.

 

    

A-1

     

    

 

5.Option Non-Transferable.
This Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, pursuant to
a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 5.7 of the
Plan. During the lifetime of an Optionee, Options shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such Optionee’s guardian
or legal representative, should one be appointed). Optionee shall not transfer any Stock received pursuant to the exercise of this
Option unless Optionee has first offered such Stock to the Company and the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms
and conditions of the Plan.

 

6.Notice of Exercise of Option.
This Option may be exercised by the Optionee, or by the Optionee’s administrators, executors or personal representatives,
by a written notice (in substantially the form of the Notice of Exercise attached to this Agreement as Schedule B) signed by the
Optionee, or by such administrators, executors or personal representatives, and delivered or mailed to the Company as specified
in Section 13(c) below to the attention of the President, Chief Executive Officer or such other officer as the President or Chief
Executive Officer may designate. Any such notice shall (a) specify the number of shares of Stock which the Optionee or the Optionee’s
administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, then elects to purchase hereunder, (b) contain such
information as may be reasonably required pursuant to Section 12 below, and (c) be accompanied by (i) a certified or cashier’s
check or, if acceptable to the Administrator, a recourse note payable to the Company in payment of the total Exercise Price applicable
to such shares as provided herein, (ii) shares of Stock owned by the Optionee, which the Optionee has not acquired from the Company
in the six (6) months prior to the exercise date, and duly endorsed or accompanied by stock transfer powers having a Fair Market
Value equal to the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased under this Agreement, or (iii) a certified or cashier’s
check or, if acceptable to the Administrator, a recourse note payable to the Company, accompanied by the number of shares of Stock
whose Fair Market Value when added to the amount of the check or note equals the total Exercise Price applicable to the shares
being purchased under this Agreement. Upon receipt of any such notice and accompanying payment, and subject to the terms hereof,
the Company agrees to issue to the Optionee or the Optionee’s administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the
case may be, stock certificates for the number of shares specified in such notice registered in the name of the person exercising
this Option.

 

7.Adjustment in Option.
The number of Shares subject to this Option, the Exercise Price and other matters are subject to adjustment during the term of
this Option in accordance with Section 7 of the Plan.

 

8.Termination of Service.

 

(a)Except as otherwise specified
in Schedule A to this Agreement, in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s service to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
other than a termination that is either (i) for Cause (as defined in that certain Employment Agreement by and between the Optionee
and the Company dated as of February 29, 2016, or (ii) voluntary on the part of the Optionee and without written consent of the
Company, the Optionee may exercise this Option at any time within three (3) months after such termination to the extent of the
number of shares which were purchasable hereunder at the date of such termination.

 

(b)Except as specified in Schedule
A attached hereto, in the event of a termination of the Optionee’s service that is either (i) for Cause or (ii) voluntary
on the part of the Optionee and without the written consent of the Company, this Option, to the extent not previously exercised,
shall terminate immediately and shall not thereafter be or become exercisable.

 

    

A-2

     

    

 

(c)Unless and to the extent otherwise
provided in Schedule A hereto, in the event of the retirement of the Optionee at or after the normal retirement date (age 65 unless
the Administrator determines otherwise), the Optionee shall continue to have the right to exercise any Options for shares which
were purchasable at the date of the Optionee’s retirement, such rights to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option will become void and unexercisable on the date which is three (3) months after the date
of retirement, unless on (or effective as of) the date of retirement the Optionee enters into a noncompete agreement with the Company,
which the Company must offer to the Optionee, and continuously complies with such noncompete agreement for the period of time during
which the Option may be exercised.

 

9.Continuance of Service.
This Option does not confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of service to or employment with the Company
or by any of its Subsidiaries. This Option shall not be affected by any change of service or employment so long as the Optionee
continues to serve the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

 

10.Death or Disability of Optionee.
Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule A with respect to the rights of the Optionee upon termination of service under Section
8(a) above, in the event of the Optionee’s death or disability while in the service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or within three months after a termination of such service (if such termination was neither (i) for Cause nor (ii) voluntary on
the part of the Optionee and without the written consent of the Company), the appropriate persons described in Section 6 of this
Agreement or persons to whom all or a portion of this Option is transferred in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement may
exercise this Option at any time within a period ending on the earlier of (a) the last day of the one year period following the
Optionee’s death or disability or (b) the expiration date of this Option. If the Optionee was in the service of the Company
at the time of death or disability, any unvested rights to acquire shares pursuant to this Option shall immediately vest and this
Option may be so exercised. If the Optionee’s service terminated prior to his or her death or disability, this Option may
be exercised only to the extent of the number of shares covered by this Option which were purchasable under this Agreement at the
date of such termination.

 

11.Date of Grant. This Option
was granted by the Administrator on the date set forth in Schedule A (the “Date of Grant”).

 

12.Compliance with Regulatory
Matters. The Optionee acknowledges that the issuance of capital stock of the Company is subject to limitations imposed by federal
and state law, and the Optionee hereby agrees that the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock upon an attempted
exercise of this Option that would cause the Company to violate law or any rule, regulation, order or consent decree of any regulatory
authority (including without limitation the SEC) having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Company. The Optionee agrees that
he or she will provide the Company with such information as is reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel to determine
whether the issuance of Stock complies with the provisions described by this Section 12.

 

13.Miscellaneous.

 

(a)This Agreement shall be binding
upon the parties hereto and their representatives, successors and assigns.

 

    

A-3

     

    

 

(b)This Agreement shall be governed
by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle
of Nevada law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state).

 

(c)Any requests or notices to be
given hereunder shall be deemed given, and any elections or exercises to be made or accomplished shall be deemed made or accomplished,
upon actual delivery thereof to the designated recipient, or three days after deposit thereof in the United States mail, registered,
return receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Optionee, at Optionee’s address shown in the Company’s
records and, if to the Company, to the executive offices of the Company, or at such other addresses that the parties provide
to each other in accordance with the foregoing notice requirements.

 

(d)This Agreement may not be modified
except in writing executed by each of the parties to it.

 

(e)Upon any exercise, vesting,
or payment of any award under the Plan, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall have the right at its option to:

 

(i)require
the Optionee (or the Optionee’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment
of at least the minimum amount of any taxes which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold with respect
to such award event or payment; or

 

(ii)deduct
from any amount otherwise payable in cash to the Optionee (or the Optionee’s personal representative or beneficiary, as
the case may be) the minimum amount of any taxes which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold with
respect to any cash payment.

 

In
any case where a tax is required to be withheld in connection with the delivery of shares of Stock under the Plan, the Administrator
may in its sole discretion (subject to Section 8.1 of the Plan) grant (either on the Date of Grant or thereafter) to the Optionee
the right to elect, pursuant to such rules and subject to such conditions as the Administrator may establish, to have the Company
reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of shares, valued in a consistent
manner at their Fair Market Value or at the sales price in accordance with authorized procedures for cashless exercises, necessary
to satisfy the minimum applicable withholding obligation on exercise, vesting or payment of an award. In no event shall the shares
withheld exceed the minimum whole number of shares required for tax withholding under applicable law.
