This Cancellation of Debt in Exchange for Securities Agreement (the
"Agreement") is entered as of December 17, 2003 by and between XXXX XXXXXXXX
("Lender" or "Holder") and PEAK ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada
corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Corporation").
Whereas, Lender has previously loaned to the Corporation the aggregate
sum of $100,000 (the "Debt");
Whereas, the Holder seeks repayment of the Debt and will cancel
repayment of the Debt in exchange for securities of the Corporation, and the
Corporation is willing to issue securities in exchange for Cancellation of the
Debt;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and covenants
contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby
stipulated, consented to and agreed by and among the parties as follows:
1. The Corporation hereby issues to the Holder 583,333 shares of the
Corporation's common stock and hereby grants to Holder common stock purchase
warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock for three
years at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Additional terms and conditions
of the warrant grant shall be as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. In consideration
and exchange therefor, the Debt and all rights associated with the Debt,
including any claim for interest, held by the Holder is hereby cancelled.
2. The Holder shall be entitled to piggyback rights for the shares of
common stock issued pursuant to this Agreement and the shares of common stock
underlying the warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement on the next
registration statement filed by the Company and in subsequent registration
statements, including amendments thereto, filed by the Company.
3. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding
concerning the subject matter hereof between the parties and supersedes and
replaces all prior negotiations, proposed agreement and agreements, written or
oral. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by any
court or tribunal to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts,
terms or provisions shall not be affected thereby and said illegal or invalid
part, term or provision shall be severed and deemed not to be part of this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state
or federal courts located in New York County in the State of New York. All
parties and the individuals executing this Agreement and other agreements agree
to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its
reasonable attorney's fees and costs. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which, when all parties have executed at least one such
counterpart, shall be deemed an original, with the same force and effect as if
all signatures were appended to one instrument, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same Agreement.

PEAK ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
150,000 SHARES
ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE: DECEMBER 17, 2003
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, XXXX XXXXXXXX or his
registered assigns ("Holder") is entitled to purchase, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time or from time to time from the date
hereof until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on third anniversary of the Original Issue
Date set forth above, or if such date is not a day on which the Company (as
hereinafter defined) is open for business, then the next succeeding day on which
the Company is open for business (such date is the "Expiration Date"), but not
thereafter, to purchase up to ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND (150,000) shares of the
Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Peak Entertainment
Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), at $0.50 per share (the
"Exercise Price"), such number of shares and Exercise Price being subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of the contingencies set forth in this Warrant.
Each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercisable is a "Warrant
Share" and all such shares are collectively referred to as the "Warrant Shares."
Section 1. Exercise of Warrant; Conversion of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant may, at the option of Holder, be exercised in whole or
in part from time to time by delivery to the Company at its principal office,
Attention: President, on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration
Date, (i) a written notice of such Holder's election to exercise this Warrant
(the "Exercise Notice"), which notice may be in the form of the Notice of
Exercise attached hereto, properly executed and completed by Holder or an
authorized officer thereof, (ii) a check payable to the order of the Company, in
an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice, and (iii) this Warrant (the
items specified in (i), (ii), and (iii) are collectively the "Exercise
Materials").
(b) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5)
business days after its receipt of the Exercise Materials, Company shall execute
or cause to be executed and delivered to Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice,
together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, and if this Warrant is
partially exercised, a new warrant on the same terms for the unexercised balance
of the Warrant Shares. The stock certificate or certificates shall be registered
in the name of Holder or such other name or names as shall be designated in the
Exercise Notice. The date on which the Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised (the "Effective Date"), and the date the person in whose name any
certificate evidencing the Common Stock issued upon the exercise hereof is
issued shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares, shall
be the date the Company receives the Exercise Materials, irrespective of the
date of delivery of a certificate or certificates evidencing the Common Stock
issued upon the exercise or conversion hereof, provided, however, that if the
Exercise Materials are received by the Company on a date on which the stock
transfer books of the Company are closed, the Effective Date shall be the next
succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. All shares of Common
Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant will, upon
issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and
charges with respect thereto.
Section 2. Adjustments to Warrant Shares. The number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In the event the Company is a party to a consolidation, share
exchange, or merger, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company to, any person, or in the case of any consolidation or merger of
another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the surviving
corporation, and in which there is a reclassification or change of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company, this Warrant shall after such consolidation, share
exchange, merger, or sale be exercisable for the kind and number of securities
or amount and kind of property of the Company or the corporation or other entity
resulting from such share exchange, merger, or consolidation, or to which such
sale shall be made, as the case may be (the "Successor Company"), to which a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise
(immediately prior to the time of such consolidation, share exchange, merger, or
sale) of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such consolidation, share
exchange, merger, or sale; and in any such case appropriate adjustments shall be
made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the
rights and interests of Holder, such that the provisions set forth herein shall
thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be,
in relation to the number and kind of securities or the type and amount of
property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The above
provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, share exchanges,
mergers, and sales. Any adjustment required by this Section 2 (a) because of a
consolidation, share exchange, merger, or sale shall be set forth in an
undertaking delivered to Holder and executed by the Successor Company which
provides that Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant for the kind
and number of securities or amount and kind of property of the Successor Company
or to which the holder of a number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
exercise (immediately prior to the time of such consolidation, share exchange,
merger, or sale) of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such
consolidation, share exchange, merger, or sale. Such undertaking shall also
provide for future adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise
Price in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2 hereof.
(b) In the event the Company should at any time, or from time to time
after the Original Issue Date, fix a record date for the effectuation of a stock
split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or
rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as
"Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder
for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents
(including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or
exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend,
distribution, split, or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be proportionately
increased and the Exercise Price shall be appropriately decreased by the same
proportion as the increase in the number of outstanding Common Stock Equivalents
of the Company resulting from the dividend, distribution, split, or subdivision.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no adjustment shall be made to decrease
the Exercise Price below $.0001 per Share.
(c) In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time
after the Original Issue Date, fix a record date for the effectuation of a
reverse stock split, or a transaction having a similar effect on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, then, as of such record date
(or the date of such reverse stock split or similar transaction if no record
date is fixed), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof
shall be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
increased by the same proportion as the decrease of the number of outstanding
Common Stock Equivalents resulting from the reverse stock split or similar
transaction.
(d) In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time
after the Original Issue Date, fix a record date for a reclassification of its
Common Stock, then, as of such record date (or the date of the reclassification
if no record date is set), this Warrant shall thereafter be convertible into
such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of
such reclassification to a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such reclassification, and the Exercise Price shall be unchanged.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue, or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, void
or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of Holder against dilution or other
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (x)
will not create a par value of any share of stock receivable upon the exercise
of the Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and (y)
will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares upon
the exercise of the Warrant.
(f) When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of
shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall promptly notify Holder of such event and of the number of shares
of Common Stock or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon
exercise of the Warrants and of the Exercise Price, together with the
computation resulting in such adjustment.
(g) The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may
be issued will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid, and
non-assessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will
at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a
sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of
the Warrant in full.
Section 3. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle Holder
hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
Section 4. Transfer of Securities.
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares and any shares of capital stock
received in respect thereof, whether by reason of a stock split or share
reclassification thereof, a stock dividend thereon, or otherwise, shall not be
transferable except upon compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and applicable state securities laws
with respect to the transfer of such securities. The Holder, by acceptance of
this Warrant, agrees to be bound by the provisions of Section 4 hereof and to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any loss or liability arising
from the disposition of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise hereof or any interest in either thereof in violation of the provisions
of this Warrant.
(b) Each certificate for the Warrant Shares and any shares of capital
stock received in respect thereof, whether by reason of a stock split or share
reclassification thereof, a stock dividend thereon or otherwise, and each
certificate for any such securities issued to subsequent transferees of any such
certificate shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions hereof) be
stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
"NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE
UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAW AND NEITHER MAY BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNTIL (I)
A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE
WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (II) THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED A
WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY TO THE
EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION
WITH SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER."
Section 5. Registration. All warrant shares are subject to the
customary piggyback registration rights granted to other warrant holders granted
similar warrants, and the Holder may request inclusion of the Warrant Shares in
a registration statement registering other shares of the Holder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Holder shall be entitled to such greater piggyback rights as
set forth in the Cancellation of Debt in Exchange for Securities Agreement
between the Company and the Holder dated December 17, 2003.
Section 6. Miscellaneous.
(a) The terms of this Warrant shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of any successors or permitted assigns of the Company and Holder.
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly
authorized attorney on the books of the Company upon surrender of this Warrant,
properly endorsed, to the Company. The Company may deem and treat the registered
holder of this Warrant at any time as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes
and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Holder may
not exercise, sell, transfer, or otherwise assign this Warrant unless the
Company is provided with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Company, to the effect that such exercise, sale, transfer,
or assignment would not violate the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws.
(d) This Warrant may be divided into separate warrants covering one
share of Common Stock or any whole multiple thereof, for the total number of
shares of Common Stock then subject to this Warrant at any time, or from time to
time, upon the request of the registered holder of this Warrant and the
surrender of the same to the Company for such purpose. Such subdivided Warrants
shall be issued promptly by the Company following any such request and shall be
of the same form and tenor as this Warrant, except for any requested change in
the name of the registered holder stated herein.
(e) Any notices, consents, waivers, or other communications required or
permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in writing and
will be deemed to have been delivered (a) upon receipt, when delivered
personally, (b) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile, provided a copy is mailed
by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested, (c) three (3) days after being
sent by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) one (1) day after
deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case
properly addressed to the party to receive the same.
If to Holder, to the registered address of Holder appearing on the
books of the Company. Each party shall provide five (5) days prior written
notice to the other party of any change in address, which change shall not be
effective until actual receipt thereof.
(f) The corporate laws of the State of Nevada shall govern all issues
concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders. All other
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule
(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause
the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New
York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the state and federal courts sitting the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such
party at the address for such notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any provision of this
Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity
or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Warrant in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability
of any provision of this Warrant in any other jurisdiction.
