3. Restructuring
and Repayment of the
Note. The parties
agree to restructure the terms of the Note as follows:
3.1. Amendments to Note and
Security Agreement. The Note and Security Agreements are
hereby amended as follows:
3.1.1 One
Hundred Ten Thousand ($110,000) Dollars shall be paid in cash to Ventiv by
Millennium on or before October 30, 2009 (the “Initial
Payment”). Upon Ventiv’s receipt of the Initial Payment:
(a) the
principal balance together with accrued interest due and owing under the Note
shall be reduced to Four Hundred Thousand ($400,000) Dollars of which One
Hundred Fifty Thousand ($150,000) Dollars shall be paid in cash on or before
February 1, 2010; and the remaining balance of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
($250,000) Dollars shall be paid in cash on or before June 1, 2010 (the “Final
Payment Date”). No interest shall accrue regarding such payments, and
upon receipt in full of such payments aggregating $400,000 (on or before the
Final Payment Date), the Note shall be fully paid and
satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above,
in the event Ventiv does not receive $400,000 by the Final Payment Date, the
outstanding balance shall accrue interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum, compounded monthly, from the Final Payment Date until the principal shall
be paid in full.
(b) Section
3, Section 4 and Section 6.3.2 of the first amendment to the Note dated February
27, 2009 shall be of no further force or effect; and
(c) Ventiv
shall execute a subordination agreement with the holders of the Unit Notes, in
the form annexed hereto subordinating payment under the Note to the Unit Notes
inclusive of all Unit Notes sold or to be sold in the Offering.

3.1.2
Contemporaneous with Ventiv’s receipt of the Initial Payment, and in exchange
for the reduction of the Note as set forth in Section 3.1.1 above, MBG shall
issue to Ventiv that certain Warrant to purchase Five Million (5,000,000) shares
of MBG’s common stock (the “Warrant Stock”) which shall provide Ventiv with an
option to purchase all or any portion of the Warrant Stock at any time(s) over a
ten (10) year period at a purchase price of $0.20 per share of Warrant
Stock. Ventiv has been advised that MBG may not have a sufficient
number of authorized shares of common stock reserved to cover the exercise of
the Warrant Stock and accordingly, MBG in order to increase the number of shares
authorized for issuance under its corporate charter, or alternatively to reverse
split the number of shares of commons stock outstanding, will hold a meeting of
its stockholders to amend its corporate charter within 120 days from the date
hereof. MBG hereby represents, warrants and covenants that it shall
take any and all action required to provide for a sufficient number authorized
shares of common stock to be reserved to cover the exercise of the Warrant Stock
by Ventiv.
