<P><Font Face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" Size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January 1, 2009, NTS Mortgage Income Fund (the &#147;Fund&#148;) and certain of its
subsidiaries executed four promissory notes consistent with the terms set forth in a
letter (the &#147;Deferral/Advancements Letter&#148;) dated December 24, 2008 from
Residential Management Company, a Kentucky corporation (&#147;Residential&#148;), and NTS
Development Company, a Kentucky corporation (&#147;Devco&#148; and, collectively with
Residential, &#147;NTS&#148;). In the letter NTS agreed to defer payment of amounts due
from the Fund, or its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2008 and to permit any amounts
accruing through December 31, 2009, other than as permitted by cash flows of the Fund, and
to make advances to the Fund through December 31, 2009 except for certain principal
repayments due National City Bank. The Deferral/Advancements Letter advised NTS could
request the deferrals and advances be evidenced by interest bearing promissory notes, so
long as the interest rate charged was equal to NTS&#146; cost of funds. </font></p>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><Font Face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" Size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
terms of the promissory notes are summarized below. The Fund and its subsidiaries
previously used the deferrals and advances evidenced by the notes to: (i) compensate
individuals rendering services on behalf of the Fund; (ii) for overhead fees as permitted
under the previous management agreements; (iii) loan principal repayments; (iv) loan
interest; (v) real estate taxes; and (vi) other operating and development costs of the
Fund and its subsidiaries. </font></p>

Item 1.01. Entry into a
Material Definitive Agreement.
On
January 1, 2009, NTS Mortgage Income Fund (the "Fund") and certain of its
subsidiaries executed four promissory notes consistent with the terms set forth in a
letter (the "Deferral/Advancements Letter") dated December 24, 2008 from
Residential Management Company, a Kentucky corporation ("Residential"), and NTS
Development Company, a Kentucky corporation ("Devco" and, collectively with
Residential, "NTS"). In the letter NTS agreed to defer payment of amounts due
from the Fund, or its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2008 and to permit any amounts
accruing through December 31, 2009, other than as permitted by cash flows of the Fund, and
to make advances to the Fund through December 31, 2009 except for certain principal
repayments due National City Bank. The Deferral/Advancements Letter advised NTS could
request the deferrals and advances be evidenced by interest bearing promissory notes, so
long as the interest rate charged was equal to NTS' cost of funds.
The
terms of the promissory notes are summarized below. The Fund and its subsidiaries
previously used the deferrals and advances evidenced by the notes to: (i) compensate
individuals rendering services on behalf of the Fund; (ii) for overhead fees as permitted
under the previous management agreements; (iii) loan principal repayments; (iv) loan
interest; (v) real estate taxes; and (vi) other operating and development costs of the
Fund and its subsidiaries.
Devco
evidenced an advance and deferral to the Fund in the amount of Two Hundred Thirty Thousand
Seven Hundred Fifty Nine and 51/00 Dollars ($230,759.51) with a promissory note dated
January 1, 2009. The note has an interest rate of one month LIBOR plus one and
three-quarters percent (1¾ %) per annum. Interest is due monthly and the note
matures on December 31, 2009.
Residential
evidenced advances and deferrals to NTS/Virginia Development Company, a Virginia
corporation ("NTS/Virginia"), in the amount of Three Million Two Hundred Forty
Four Thousand Seven Hundred One and 94/00 Dollars ($3,244,701.94) with a promissory note
dated January 1, 2009. The note has an interest rate of one month LIBOR plus one and
three-quarters percent (1¾ %) per annum. Interest is due monthly and the note
matures on December 31, 2009.
Residential
evidenced advances and deferrals to NTS/Lake Forest II Residential Corporation, a Kentucky
corporation, in the amount of Twenty Seven Thousand Forty Nine and 58/00 Dollars
($27,049.58) with a promissory note dated January 1, 2009. The note has an interest rate
of one month LIBOR plus one and three-quarters percent (1¾ %) per annum. Interest
is due monthly and the note matures on December 31, 2009.
NTS/Virginia
entered into a consolidated and amended and restated promissory note in the principal
amount of Eight Hundred Seventy Thousand One Hundred and 25/00 Dollars ($870,100.25) dated
January 1, 2009, made payable to the order of NTS Financial Partnership, a Kentucky
general partnership. This consolidated and amended and restated note consolidates and
extends the maturity date of six notes previously made by NTS/Virginia in 2008 to NTS
Financial Partnership, all of which had maturity dates of December 31, 2008 and which had
aggregate outstanding principal balances equal to $870,100.25. These six notes were issued
in connection with advances or deferrals by NTS. The consolidated and amended and restated
note
2
has an interest rate of one month
LIBOR plus one and three-quarters percent (1¾ %) per annum. Interest is due
monthly and the note matures on December 31, 2009.
The
total sum evidenced by these promissory notes is Four Million Three Hundred Seventy Two
Thousand Six Hundred Eleven and 28/00 Dollars ($4,372,611.28). All of the promissory notes
mature on December 31, 2009. Based on the Fund's current budget it is unlikely that
the Fund will generate sufficient revenues to be able to repay the promissory notes, in
full, when due. The Fund intends to seek an extension or renegotiation of the unpaid
balances on the promissory notes prior to their maturity. There can be no assurance that
an extension or renegotiation of any of the promissory notes will be achieved prior to
their maturity, or at all.
As
of December 31, 2008, Devco had outstanding advances to the Orlando Lake Forest Joint
Venture, a Florida joint venture (the "Joint Venture"), in the amount of
Fourteen Thousand Five Hundred Thirty and 00/00 Dollars ($14,530.00). Also, as of December
31, 2008, Residential had outstanding advances to the Joint Venture in the amount of
Sixteen Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty Two and 00/00 Dollars ($16,782.00). The Fund owns a
fifty percent (50%) interest in the Joint Venture. Devco and Residential have not at this
time requested the Joint Venture to issue promissory notes for these amounts. The
outstanding amounts continue to remain obligations of the Joint Venture.
