SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT Filed Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1934 Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported) August 13, 1998 --------------- OUT-TAKES, INC. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) Delaware 0-21322 95-4363944 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (State or other (Commission (IRS Employer jurisdiction of File Number) Identification No.) incorporation) 1419 Peerless Place, Suite 116, Los Angeles, CA 90035 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code (310) 788-9440 --------------------------- Not Applicable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Former name or former address, if changed since last report) Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets ------------------------------------ On August 31, 1998, Out-Takes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") whereby the Company acquired (the "Acquisition") all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Los Alamos Energy, LLC, a California limited liability company ("LAE"). The purchase price to be paid for the equity interests of LAE is Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), which was paid by Promissory Notes (the "Notes") to the holders of LAE equity (the "Equity Holders") calling for interest on all outstanding amounts to accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Payments of principal and accrued interest under the Notes shall be made monthly in arrears up to the maturity date, which is the fifth anniversary of the Notes. The Notes may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. The Acquisition Agreement provides that, in the event the Equity Holders shall desire to do so, they may convert their indebtedness to common stock of the Company representing in the aggregate ninety percent (90%) of the issued and outstanding shares of such common stock as of the date of such conversion. The Acquisition Agreement provides that it is a condition of the conversion that the Company effect a reverse stock split of one (1) share for every one hundred (100) shares issued and outstanding as of such date. LAE contemplates that a significant number of persons currently holding promissory notes and/or working interests in its electricity production (collectively, "Interest Holders") will exercise their rights to convert such interests into the equity of LAE, and subsequently to join in the conversion of the Notes into common stock of the Company. Presently, management of LAE anticipates that, prior to the conversion of the Notes and after giving effect to the contemplated reverse stock split, the Company will issue approximately three million (3,000,000) additional shares of common stock, and that subsequent to completing the conversion, the Equity Holders and Interest Holders will own, in the aggregate, approximately two million eight hundred eighty thousand (2,880,000) shares of the Company's common stock, representing ninety percent (90%) of the total amount of common stock estimated to be issued and outstanding as of the date such conversion rights are exercised. The indebtedness represented by the Notes is secured by (a) a Security Agreement, granting a first lien and security interest upon all of the assets of the Company; and (b) a pledge of the common stock of the Company held by Photo Corporation Group Pty Limited, an Australian corporation, which is the controlling stockholder of the Company. The stock pledge grants the Holders specific rights under certain circumstances, including the right to receive distributions made by the Company in respect of its common stock and the right to vote the pledged shares, for so long as the Notes are in force. The purchase price to be paid by the Company for all of the issued and outstanding equity of LAE was negotiated based upon several factors, including, without limitation, the asset value of LAE and its projected income from operations based, in part, upon management's estimates of its natural gas reserves and its current contracts. The Company is engaged in the sale of photographic portraits of children, adults and family groups. Prior to the acquisition, Out Takes derived substantially all of its revenue from a retail photographic studio, called OUT-TAKES , which opened on May 24, 1993 and is located in MCA/Universal's City Walk project in Los Angeles, California. LAE is engaged in the collection and distribution of natural gas from properties owned or leased by it in the State of California, and management of LAE intends to position LAE to become an important independent power producer, and to benefit as a principal provider of electricity to consumers in California and elsewhere as deregulation is implementedLAE will be operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company will continue to operate and seek to grow its photographic business, and LAE will continue to operate and grow its natural gas distribution business. Management of the Company believes that the Acquisition has diversified the revenue sources and enhanced the earnings potential of the Company on a consolidated basis, which was the purpose of the Acquisition. The Acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits --------------------------------- (a) Financial Statements. It is impractical to provide the required financial statements of LAE at the time of filing this Report.

The Pledgor hereby grants to the Pledgee, as security for the prompt and full performance of all of the Company's covenants, agreements and obligations to the Pledgee contained in the Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"), a first perfected lien upon and security interest in and to, and pledges, assigns and sets over to the Pledgee, all of the Pledged Shares, together with any additional shares of any class of capital stock of the Company hereafter acquired by the Pledgor for any reason, as well as any option, warrant or right exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into any such stock and, subject to the provisions of Section 2(c) below, any cash, property or other securities at any time and from time to time receivable or otherwise distributable in respect thereof, exchanged therefor, derived therefrom, substituted therefor, or otherwise subjected to the lien hereof pursuant to any provision hereof, and the proceeds thereof (all of which Pledged Shares, additional shares, cash, property, securities and proceeds being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Pledged Collateral"). Nothing in the foregoing Section 1.01 is intended to create any pledge of or lien upon any shares of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock which is to be issued to the Pledgor subsequent to the date hereof in accordance with that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and between the Pledgor and the Company. 1.02 POSSESSION OF PLEDGED COLLATERAL. Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, all certificates for the Pledged Shares, certificates for any additional shares, dividends, cash, property and securities comprising part of the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered by the Pledgor to the Pledgee or its designated agent or representative upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee proper instruments of assignment therefor duly executed and endorsed in blank by the Pledgor and such other instruments or documents as the Pledgee may request sufficient to transfer the title thereto to the Pledgee or its nominee. Any Pledged Collateral which may at any time be in the possession of the Pledgor shall be promptly delivered to the Pledgee, and prior thereto shall be deemed to be held in trust by the Pledgor on behalf of the Pledgee as the Pledgee's agent. 1.03 OBLIGATIONS SECURED. The security interests of Pledgee under this agreement secure all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Company. By their execution hereof, the parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions, covenants, agreements and undertakings set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Note are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are of full force and effect as fully as if repeated herein in their entirety. SECTION TWO GRANT OF RIGHTS TO PLEDGEE -------------------------- So long as any Guaranteed Obligation shall remain outstanding, the parties hereby agree that the following provisions shall remain in full force and effect: the Pledgee shall have the right to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Shares, and any additional securities comprising a part of the Pledged Collateral, on all matters which are subject to vote or consent by the shareholders (or the holders of such additional securities), of the Company, and to consent to, ratify or object to any action taken at, or waive notice of, any meeting of the shareholders; the Pledgee shall be entitled to receive, for its own account, any dividends, distributions or other items received by the shareholders of the Company by virtue of their ownership of shares, including, without limitation, any cash, property or securities distributed to such shareholders at any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement, which amount shall be applied first against accrued interest on, and then the principal balance of, the Note; and the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise on behalf of the Pledgor any subscription, exchange or conversion privileges accruing to the Pledgor by virtue of its ownership of the Pledged Collateral, and upon such conversion, exchange or conversion, any and all securities received by the Pledgor in respect thereof shall automatically become and be a part of the Pledged Collateral. The Pledgor acknowledges to, and agrees with, the Pledgee that the provisions contained in this Section Two are material and integral in inducing the Pledgee to enter into and perform the Purchase Agreement and the Note, and the Pledgor irrevocably grants the rights herein contained voluntarily and with the intent of vesting the Pledgee with all of the rights of a shareholder in the Company, with the same force and effect as if such Pledged Shares or other securities were owned beneficially and of record by the Pledgee, for so long as this Agreement remains in effect. SECTION THREE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PLEDGOR -------------------------------------------------- 3.01 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OF WARRANTIES IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. The Pledgor, by its execution of this Agreement, hereby makes for the benefit of the Pledgee all of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement as of the date hereof, which representations and warranties are deemed by the parties to be incorporated by reference herein and of the same force and effect as fully as if they had been repeated in this Section 3.01 in their entirety. 3.02 ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In addition to the representations and warranties set forth above, the Pledgor hereby specifically represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, the following: (a) the Pledgor is the true and lawful owner, of record and beneficially, of the Pledged Shares, free and clear of any lien, security interest, pledge, hypothecation, charge, liability or other encumbrance (other than the lien and security interest created herein), and such Pledged Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable in accordance with applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company; except as may be otherwise reflected in a legend on the face or reverse side of the certificates evidencing ownership of the Pledged Shares, there are no legal restrictions or limitations relating to the Pledged Shares, or the ownership or transferability thereof by the holders thereof; (c) the Pledged Shares represent, as of the date hereof, approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis; and (d) other than the Pledged Shares and other shares of common stock outstanding, as of the date hereof, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, the Company has no other shares of any class of capital stock or any other security including, without limitation, any option, warrant or right exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into any such shares of stock or other securities issued and outstanding. SECTION FOUR RIGHTS OF THE PLEDGEE UPON DEFAULT --------------------------------------- Upon any Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, the Pledgee shall, subject to compliance with all requirements of applicable law, and in addition to all other rights or remedies it may have, have the rights set forth in this Section 4: 4.01 VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS. Immediately and without further notice, whether or not the Pledged Collateral shall have been registered in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee, the Pledgee shall have, with respect to the Pledged Collateral, the right to cause title thereto to be permanently vested in itself for all purposes, to continue to exercise all voting rights, and all other corporate rights and all conversion, exchange, subscription or other rights, privileges or options pertaining thereto as if it were the absolute beneficial and record owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange any or all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Company, or upon the exercise by the Company of any right, privilege, or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral and, in connection therewith, to deliver any of the Pledged Collateral to any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; but the Pledgee shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 4.02 SALE OF PLEDGED COLLATERAL. ----------------------------- (a) Upon five (5) days written notice to the Pledgor but without further demand, advertisement or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, the Pledgee shall have the right to sell, assign and deliver the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at any time or times, within or without the State of California, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for cash, on credit, or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee determines to be commercially reasonable, and in connection therewith the Pledgee at any sale may bid for or purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so offered for sale, free from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of the Pledgor, all of which rights the Pledgor hereby waives and releases, to the full extent permitted by law. (b) (i) If at any time or times, in the opinion of the Pledgee, it should be necessary or desirable, in order for the Pledgee to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral in any sale or sales pursuant hereto, to comply with or to register or qualify all or any part of the Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act of 1933, or under any similar federal statute then in effect, or any rules or regulations thereunder, and/or to comply with the laws of any state regulating the sale of securities or any rules or regulations thereunder, the Pledgor shall, upon the request (and expense) of the Pledgee, as expeditiously as possible and in good faith, use its best efforts to cause the Company to effect and continue such registration, qualification and/or compliance. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral or that it may be commercially unreasonable to do so, and may find it appropriate or necessary to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view for distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at places and on terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at publics sales and agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and that the Pledgee shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act; and (iii) The Pledgee may take all such further acts as it may in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable for the Pledgee's protection or for compliance with any provision of law or regulation, even if such act might, whether by limiting the market or by adding to the costs of sale or otherwise, depreciate prices that might otherwise be obtained for the Pledged Collateral being sold or otherwise restrict the net proceeds available from the sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such sale, the Pledgee shall have the right to assign, transfer, endorse and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives, to the full extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. For purposes of this Section 4.02, an agreement to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be treated as a sale of such Pledged Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be free to carry out the sale of any Pledged Collateral pursuant to any such agreement and the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of any such Pledged Collateral subject thereto, notwithstanding that after the Pledgee shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default may have been remedied. 4.03 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. The rights and the remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any rights and remedies which the Pledgee may have under the Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement or this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term "Event of Default" shall have the same meaning given to it in the Security Agreement. SECTION FIVE APPOINTMENT OF THE PLEDGEE AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT --------------------------------------------------- The Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Pledgee as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgee shall have the right, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution, either in the name of the Pledgee or in the name of the Pledgor to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, review, receipt and give acquittance for any all moneys due or to become due by virtue of any Pledged Collateral, to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the payment of money payable to the Pledgor representing any interest or dividend or other distribution payable in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof, and to sell, assign, endorse, pledge, transfer and make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Pledgee to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or notice, or take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken by the Pledgee or omitted to be taken with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of the Pledgor or to any claim or action against the Pledgee, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. SECTION SIX DISCHARGE OF THE PLEDGOR --------------------------- At such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid, performed and otherwise satisfied, then all rights and interests in such Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied by the Pledgee pursuant to the terms hereof and shall still be held by it shall be transferred and delivered, without recourse or representation to the Pledgor at the Pledgor's expense, and the right, title and interest of the Pledgee therein shall cease. SECTION SEVEN MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS ------------------------- All other provisions of the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the specific clauses setting forth the governing law and venue of this Agreement, the right of further assurances, severability, specific performance and other injunctive relief, and every other aspect of the performance, interpretation relationship between the parties and other miscellaneous provisions, are hereby incorporated herein by reference from the Purchase Agreement, and are of force and effect as fully as if the same had been repeated herein in their entirety.
