Long-Term Debt Obligations On February 11, 2014, the Company entered into a new $5 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Auramet International, LLC ("Auramet"), pursuant to which the Company may have borrowings up to $5 million outstanding at any given time. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility have been or will be used for working capital, including production ramp up and preparations for expansion of the Lucerne Mine, including targeted drilling on the east side of the Lucerne Resource area. Interest is payable at 9.5% per annum, and was paid in advance on the closing date of the Revolving Credit Facility. The indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a security interest in certain real estate owned by the Company within the Company’s starter mine and a first priority security interest in all personal property of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Comstock Mining LLC, subject to any existing or future Permitted Liens (as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility). Provided that no default has occurred and is continuing, and the Company has already repaid the principal amount of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount of not less than $1,000,000, the Company has the option until October 6, 2014 to re-borrow funds under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility contains a covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity balance of $1 million (including cash and cash equivalents, plus 90% of the value of any doré that has been picked up by a secured carrier but not yet paid for, as of any date of determination). The Revolving Credit Facility additionally contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and events of default, as well as conditions to borrowings. On February 12, 2014, the Company drew the entire line representing cash proceeds of approximately $4.6 million, net of prepaid interest and fees of approximately $0.4 million recognized as a component of prepaid assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the life of the payment terms using the effective interest rate method. In addition, the Company paid Auramet additional loan fees of approximately $0.3 million via the issuance of 137,105 shares of common stock included as a component of prepaid assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company further agreed to make additional loan fee payments if the value of 63,505 of such shares of common stock issued to Auramet is less than $123,835 on August 8, 2014. This resulted in the recognition of a contingent debt obligation payment derivative (see footnote 4). The Revolving Credit Facility will be repaid through 14 bi-weekly cash payments of $357,143 beginning August 8, 2014 and ending February 6, 2015. As of June 30, 2014, there were no additional funds available to the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility. On March 26, 2014, the Company entered into two notes payable agreements with Caterpillar in the amount of $1,280,144 for the purchase of mining vehicles and equipment, the recourse with respect to which is limited solely to such vehicles and equipment. The notes bear interest rate at 4.7% and are payable in monthly installments of $15,553 and $13,754, respectively, with final remaining principal payments due on March 26, 2018. In addition, we financed a mining vehicle with a cost of $34,500 included in other notes payable. In addition to the above, the Company made timely payments on all of its other outstanding obligations within the normal course of business.
