EXHIBIT 10.21

 

I.           BACKGROUND: Effective August 5, 2005, the undersigned Calais Resources, Inc, a British Columbia corporation ("Calais-BC"), and Calais Resources Colorado, Inc, a Nevada corporation ("Calais-CO") (collectively, the "Calais Companies") executed a promissory note (the "Note") in which Calais-BC and Calais-CO promised to pay Duane A. Duffy, Glenn E. Duffy, James Ober, and Luke Garvey (Holders herein) the sum of $807,650.11.  Concurrently, the Calais Companies and the Holders entered into a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Calais Companies executed a deed of trust encumbering certain real property located in Boulder County, Colorado. On or about December 15, 2005, the Calais Companies made a principal payment due under the Note in the amount of $166,000. In March 2007, following a default by the Calais Companies on further payments, the Note was modified and extended to require monthly installment payments of $75,000.00 on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, beginning April 15, 2007 and continuing until the entire Note balance was paid. No monthly payments were made by the Calais Companies. On or about March 31, 2007, the Calais Companies made a further payment of $200,000 on the amount due and payable. In November 2007, the Calais Companies and the Holders agreed to a further modification of the Note to extend repayment terms through April 1, 2008, pending the expected resolution by the Calais Companies of certain financial issues.

 

In the interest of assuring full payment of all principal and interest due under the Note as modified, the Calais Companies and the Holders now agree to revise and amend the terms of the Note further, as follows:
