This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement between Comstock Mining Inc. (the “Corporation”) and Corrado De Gasperis (the “Executive”), dated as of April 20, 2010, as amended November 2, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”), is entered into as of January 31, 2014, between the Corporation and the Executive.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Executive desire to clarify the procedures related to the vesting and settlement of certain awards made to the Executive; and  
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, the Corporation and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
1.Capitalized Terms.  Whenever capitalized terms are used in this Amendment, they shall have the meanings set forth in this Amendment or, if not defined in this Amendment, as set forth in the Employment Agreement. 
2.    Agreement.  
		
	(a)
	The adoption of the Corporation’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) satisfies the requirements of the Employment Agreement relating to the adoption of an incentive stock plan providing for the issuance of certain of the fully diluted equity of the Corporation (the “Required Plan”).

		
	(b)
	The award (the “Award”) set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement between the Corporation and the Executive entered into as of December 21, 2011 (the “RSA”) satisfies the requirements of the Employment Agreement in relation to the grant of awards to the Executive under the Required Plan.

		
	(c)
	Neither Section 2(a) above nor Section 2(b) above will limit the Corporation’s obligations with respect to (i) maintaining and continuing the Plan or, except to the extent expressly set forth herein, the Employment Agreement, the RSA and the Award or (ii) fully and timely performing its obligations thereunder, as amended hereby.

		
	(d)
	Subject to Section 2(e) below, each tranche of the Award shall vest on the later to occur of the date set forth in the RSA or July 1, 2014; provided, that: 

		
	(i)
	if the Executive is terminated for Cause before July 1, 2014, then all tranches of the Award shall be forfeited; 

		
	(ii)
	if (1) the vesting conditions for a tranche of the Award as set forth in the RSA are satisfied on or before July 1, 2014 and (2) on or before July 1, 2014 (A) the Executive dies or resigns for any reason, including Good Reason or due to his Disability or (B) the Corporation terminates the Executive’s employment other than for Cause, then in either case such tranches shall vest as of the date of such death, resignation or termination (as applicable) as if this Amendment had not been adopted; and 

		
	(iii)
	if, without regard to this Amendment, one or more tranches of the Award would have vested prior to or upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), such tranches shall vest as if this Amendment had not been adopted. 

		
	(e)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the vesting of the Award and the issuance of Common Stock to the Executive shall be delayed and conditioned upon the Corporation or the Executive making adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the settlement of the Award in accordance with Section 2(e)(i) or 2(e)(ii) below.

		
	(i)
	Unless provided otherwise by the Committee, these obligations will be satisfied by the Corporation withholding a number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued under the Award that the Corporation determines has a Market Value sufficient to meet the tax withholding obligations.  In the event that the Committee provides that these obligations will not be satisfied under the method described in 2(e)(ii) below, the Committee shall deposit with and authorize the plan administrator, to sell a number of shares of Common Stock that are issued under the Award (in such quantity and with such frequency that such plan administrator determines may be sold without materially disrupting the trading market for the Common Stock), which the Corporation determines is sufficient to generate an amount that meets the tax withholding obligations plus additional shares to account for rounding and market fluctuations, and to pay such tax withholding to the Corporation.  The shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other participants of the Plan in which all participants receive an average price.  For this purpose, “Market Value” will be calculated as the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by NYSE MKT on the day that the Award would otherwise vest.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and that until such shares are vested, the Executive will be exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the price of the Common Stock.

		
	(ii)
	To the extent required by applicable federal, state or other law, the Executive shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the payment and satisfaction of any income tax, social security tax, payroll 

2

tax, social taxes, applicable national or local taxes, or payment on account of other tax related to withholding obligations that arise by reason of the granting of the Award, vesting of the Award or any sale of shares of the Common Stock (whichever is applicable).
		
	(iii)
	Shares of Common Stock will be issued or become free of restrictions as soon as practicable following vesting of the Award, provided that the tax withholding obligations as specified under this Section 2(e) of this Amendment have been satisfied and the Executive has completed, signed and returned any documents and taken any additional action that the Corporation deems appropriate to enable it to accomplish the delivery of the shares of Common Stock.  The shares of Common Stock will be issued in the name of the Executive (or may be issued to the executor or personal representative of the Executive, in the event of death or Disability), and may be effected by recording shares on the stock records of the Corporation or by crediting shares in an account established on behalf of the Executive with a brokerage firm or other custodian, in each case as determined by the Corporation. 

		
	(f)
	The Corporation shall hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any additional tax (including interest and penalties) over and above ordinary income and employment taxes that may be imposed on the Executive under federal and state tax laws by as a result of this Amendment.  The Executive shall cooperate with respect to the Corporation’s opposition to the imposition of such additional tax and the Corporation’s right to direct such opposition.  Any payments required to be made by the Corporation under this Section 2(f) shall be made to the Executive no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the related taxes are remitted to the applicable taxing authority.

3.    Entire Agreement.  Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement and, the RSA shall remain in full force and effect.  This Amendment, together with the Employment Agreement and the RSA, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between a provision in the Employment Agreement (as amended hereby) and a provision in the RSA (as amended hereby), the provision more favorable to the Executive shall govern.  This Amendment shall not be amended except by a written instrument executed by the parties which specifically states that it is amending this Amendment.  References herein to “tranches” of the Award shall include “portions” or other parts of the Award subject to vesting at different times or upon different events. 
4.    Governing Law.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) 

3

APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE.
5.    Counterparts.  This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which (when executed and delivered) shall constitute an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  It shall not be necessary when making proof of this Amendment to account for any counterparts other than a sufficient number of counterparts which, when taken together, contain signatures of all of the parties.  A facsimile or PDF of an original shall be as effective as delivery of such original.  
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of the date above first written.

(a)           the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

 

(b)           the Lender determines that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining such Loan for such Interest Period;

 

then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower by telephone or email as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as a CBFR Loan.

 

SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs.  (a)  If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

 

(ii)         impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans; or

 

(iii)        subject the Lender to any Taxes (other than Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)           If the Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

  

19

  

 

(c)           A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)           Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by the Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which the Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.  A certificate of the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

SECTION 2.14. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment.  (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12 or 2.13, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Lender at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York.  If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

 

  

20

  

 

(b)           If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder.

 

SECTION 2.15. Mitigation Obligations.  If the Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.12 in the future and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in the preparation of any amendments to this Agreement required in connection with any such designation or assignment.

For valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and to induce the Lender to make extensions of credit to the Borrower hereunder, each Guarantor hereby, subject to the limitations of the next sentence in this Section 8.01, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Any term or provision of this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable under this Article VIII shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as it relates such Guarantor, void or voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

 

SECTION 8.02. Waivers.  Each Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.  Each Guarantor further waives diligence, presentment, protest, notice or demand or action or delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including any right to require the Lender to sue the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person obligated with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or otherwise to enforce payment thereof against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, provided that if at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had not been made.  The Lender and the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with the Guarantor their assessments of the financial condition of the Borrower.

 

  

33

  

 

SECTION 8.03. Guarantee Absolute.  This Guarantee is a Guarantee of payment and not of collection, is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely one of surety, and the validity and enforceability of this Guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be impaired or affected by, any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitution for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral, any other Guarantees with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of obligations other than the Guaranteed Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Article VIII even though the Lender or any other holder of a Guaranteed Obligation might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Article VIII; (g) any change in the ownership of the Borrower or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of the Borrower; (h) change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed Obligations; (i) the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or this Article VIII, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Article VIII; (j) the existence of any claim, defense, deduction, recoupment, setoff or other rights which any Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower or any other Person in connection herewith or an unrelated transaction; or (k) any other circumstance, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, which could constitute a defense to a guarantor (including all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral); all whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (k) of this Section.  It is agreed that each Guarantor’s liability hereunder is several and independent of any other Guarantees or other obligations not arising under this Article VIII at any time in effect with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof and that each Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other Guarantees or other obligations not arising under this Article VIII or any provision of any applicable law purporting to prohibit payment by the Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations in the manner agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lender or any other holder of Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guarantee is continuing, and shall remain in effect until all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.  Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guarantee as to any future transaction giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligation.
