As previously disclosed, on March 23, 2010, NTS, Inc. (f/k/a Xfone, Inc., the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Burlingame Agreement”) with an existing shareholder, Burlingame Equity Investors, LP (“Burlingame”), pursuant to which Burlingame agreed to purchase from us and we agreed to sell and issue to Burlingame certain securities for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000. Among these securities, we issued a Senior Promissory Note (as amended on May 2, 2011, the “Burlingame Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,500,000, maturing on March 22, 2013. As of June 22, 2012, $3,500,000 in principal plus any accrued interest to date remained payable to Burlingame pursuant to the Burlingame Note.

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into a term loan, guarantee and security agreement (the “Original ICON Agreement”), dated as of October 6, 2011, as amended by that certain Amended & Restated Consent, Waiver & Amendment Agreement dated November 1, 2011 by and between the following: (1) ICON Agent, LLC, acting as agent for the Lenders, ICON ECI Partners, L.P., ICON ECI Fund Fifteen, L.P  and Hardwood Partners, LLC.; (2) the Company, as Guarantor; (3) Xfone USA, Inc., NTS Communications, Inc., Gulf Coast Utilities, Inc., eXpeTel Communications, Inc., NTS Construction Company, Garey M.
