THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into
effective as of the 1st day of February, 2010, by and among Equity Capital
Group, Inc., Grupo Mandarin, S.A., and Marcus A. Luna, Esq., on the one hand
(Collectively referred to herein as the "Assignors"), and Nevada Processing
Solutions, a Nevada corporation, on the other hand ("NEPR" or "Company").
WHEREAS, Assignors are the legal title holders to certain intellectual
property, including the "MMAX Mixed Martial Arts Xtreme" video assets and
trademarks which were acquired pursuant to a non-judicial foreclosure in
April of 2009 from a now-defunct private entity, and intellectual property
assets separately developed under the "Macho TV" trademark and "Campeon
Mmaximo" brand;
WHEREAS, the assets being assigned hereby are not being commercially
utilized and there are no current business operations inasmuch as the
Assignors have no further intent of committing any resources or funding to
the assets or possible business operations relating thereto;
WHEREAS, there exists a business opportunity under the control of the
Company to commercialize the assets and finance a going concern business
relating to and utilizing the assets, including the assignment of non-
performing contracts relating to the assets to the Company;
WHEREAS, Assignors desire to transfer the assets to the Company for the
purpose of allowing the public company the opportunity to commercialize the

unwilling to commit and without such additional funding, the assets may be
underutilized or not be commercialized at all; and

purpose of commercializing the existing assets and operating a new business
consistent with the assets through further development of the business plan
