YORKVILLE ADVISORS DEBENTURE TO BE RETIRED

In tandem with the MTI settlement, McKenzie Bay and Yorkville Advisors, LLC (formerly Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.) have entered into an agreement to retire Yorkville's debentures totaling $5.9 million including penalties and interest.

Agreement terms include a cash payment of $2.2 million and distribution of 10 million pledge shares held in escrow to Yorkville. Yorkville will return of all remaining pledge shares, 15 million minimum, to McKenzie Bay. Additionally, 6.5 million McKenzie Bay Common Share Warrants will be canceled and 3.5 million McKenzie Bay Common Share Warrants will be re-priced at $0.01/share, expiring on September 15, 2015.

The MTI and Yorkville agreements are to close simultaneously, not later than September 15, 2008. The extension of the lawsuit court date provides a necessary transition period to execute all required settlement documentation for both agreements.
