Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 8, 2006, we entered into an agreement with The Silly Goose Company,
LLC, dated March 6, 2006, pursuant to which the parties have agreed for the
return to Silly Goose of proprietary rights to The Wumblers preschool television
series previously granted to us pursuant to an April 28, 2003 agreement and a
December 16, 2003 entertainment production agreement between the parties.
We will maintain a financial interest in The Wumblers. Assuming 4Kids is a
majority investor in the funding of The Wumblers project, Peak retains the right
to receive 15% of 100% of the proceeds in connection with the exploitation of
The Wumblers project. Payment to us of such percentage is to be paid (a) after
the investors in The Wumblers project have recouped their direct investment, (b)
after crediting prior funders in the aggregate amount of $1,170,000 for prior
development of The Wumblers project, and (c) after the distribution to Laura
Wellington of $45,000 for consulting fees. After payments from The Wumblers
project has been made of the amounts provided for in (a), (b) and (c) above,
Peak shall receive such a percentage of 100% of net profits, as set forth below,
calculated from the first dollar of net profits received by the entity
exploiting The Wumblers project:
(i) If 4Kids, or a wholly-owned or controlled affiliate of 4Kids
is the majority investor funding The Wumblers project, the
percentage retained by Peak shall be 15%;
(ii) If 4Kids is not the majority investor funding The Wumblers
project, the percentage retained by Peak above shall be 15%,
and Peak shall retain representation rights for The Wumblers
on a 35% of gross receipts for the United Kingdom;
(iii) If 4Kids is not the majority investor, and if the parties
hereto agree that Peak shall retain a percentage of 7.5%, then
Peak shall not retain representation rights for The Wumblers
for the United States and Canada, and Peak shall retain all
other worldwide rights on a 35% of gross receipts for the
United Kingdom and 40% for the rest of the world;
(iv) If 4Kids is not the majority investor, and if the parties
hereto agree that Peak shall retain a percentage of 8%, then
Peak shall retain representation rights for The Wumblers on a
35% of gross receipts basis for the United Kingdom and 40% for
Europe, Australia, South America and South Africa, and Silly
Goose shall retain representation rights for the rest of the
world;
(v) If 4Kids is not the majority investor, and if the parties
hereto agree that Peak shall retain a percentage of 9%, then
Peak shall retain representation rights for The Wumblers on a
35% of gross receipts basis for the United Kingdom and 40% for
France, Spain, Italy, Australia and Mexico, and Silly Goose
shall retain representation rights for the rest of the world;
and
(vi) If 4Kids is not the majority investor, and if the parties
hereto agree that Peak shall retain a percentage of 10%, then
Peak shall retain representation rights for The Wumblers on a
35% of gross receipts basis for the United Kingdom and 40% for
Australia, and Silly Goose shall retain representation rights
for the rest of the world.
Silly Goose has withdrawn and revoked its February 13, 2006 letter. Pursuant to
the agreement, the parties have released each other from any obligations and any
claims one party may have had against the other. The agreement is subject to
conditions before its effectiveness and Peak's right to terminate the agreement
by sending a notice by March 20, 2006.

Dear Laura:
Peak Entertainment Holdings, Inc.("Peak") and you and the undersigned have
agreed as follows:

withdrawn and revoked, and the Purported Termination Letter is confirmed to
have been sent in error and acknowledged by The Silly Goose Releasors, as
defined in Section 2 (b) below, to be unfounded, to the extent it alleges
any tortious or intentional breaching act, failure to properly account or
commingling of funds, on the part of Peak Entertainment Ltd. or any
affiliate, agent, officer, attorney or employee of Peak. Subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 5 below, each of the Peak Wumblers Agreements is
terminated to the extent provided for herein and of no further force and
effect to the extent provided for herein, and Peak shall surrender to the
