All Guaranties made under the Guaranty Agreement, with the exception of the Purchase Price Guaranty have been paid and released. The Purchase Price Guaranty calls for any amount due pursuant to the Purchase Price Guaranty to be paid “promptly after the complete dissolution and liquidation of the Fund and the distribution of the proceeds from the sale of its assets to Stockholders.” The Guarantor has one asset that could potentially be called upon to pay the Purchase Price Guaranty, which asset is that certain Demand Promissory Note, payable to the order of Guarantor, in the face principal amount of $10,000,000.00 or so much thereof as may be demanded from time to time, dated September 30, 1988, made by X.X. Xxxxxxx (the “Demand Note”).
B. The Fund has agreed to sell and Xxxx Xxxxx Development, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NTS/Virgnia Development Company, a Virginia corporation (“NTS/Virginia”) pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated of even date herewith (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).

The Fund has agreed to sell and Bellemeade Development, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has agreed to purchase the Fund’s 50% general partnership interest in Orlando Lake Forest Joint Venture, a Florida joint venture, pursuant to that certain Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement dated of even date herewith (the “Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement”) (the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Purchase Agreements”).
D. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements, the Guarantor has agreed, as additional consideration for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements, to an agreed schedule of payments on its obligations to the stockholders of the Fund with respect to the Purchase Price Guaranty.
E. The parties have agreed to amend the Guaranty Agreement to set forth the agreed payment schedule to be made by the Guarantor with respect to the Purchase Price Guaranty.
F. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Guaranty Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor and the Fund hereby agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment as if fully set forth herein.
2. Amendments. The Guaranty Agreement shall be, and it hereby is, amended as follows:

In the event any payment is not made when due, as set forth above, the due dates of each of the remaining payments shall be accelerated by one year and shall be due and payable (along with any amounts due and unpaid) upon such accelerated schedule.
(B) Any payments to be made with respect to the Purchase Price Guaranty shall be paid to the liquidating trust established by the Fund in connection with an Amended Plan of Dissolution and Complete Liquidation adopted and approved by the directors and stockholders of the Fund (the “Liquidating Trust”). Payments shall be made to the account set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, or to such account as may, from time to time, be designated by the Liquidating Trust.
