2.              PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

Purchaser understands, agrees with, and represents and warrants to the Company with respect to the purchase hereunder, that:

 

(a)            Investment Purposes; Compliance With Securities Act .  Purchaser is acquiring the Warrants for Purchaser’s own account, for investment only and not with a view towards, or in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under or exempt from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(b)            Accredited Purchaser Status .  Purchaser is an “accredited Purchaser” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.  Purchaser is a sophisticated purchaser and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment made pursuant to this Agreement. 

 

(c)            Reliance on Exemptions .  Purchaser understands the Warrants are being offered and sold to in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the applicable United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, acknowledgments, understandings, agreements and covenants of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser to acquire the Warrants.

 

(d)            Information .  Purchaser and the advisors of the Purchaser, if any, have been furnished with all material information relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and material information relating to the offer and sale of the Warrants that have been requested by the Purchaser.  Purchaser and Purchaser’s advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask all such questions of the Company as they have in their discretion deemed advisable.  Purchaser understands that Purchaser’s investment in the Warrants involves a high degree of risk.  Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to an informed investment decision with respect to the investment made pursuant to this Agreement.

THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

Warrant Shares (the “Covered Shares”) Purchaser requests to be registered subject to customary underwriter cutbacks.  If Purchaser requests that the Covered Shares are to be included in the Registration Statement and such Shares are not so included, then the Company shall be obligated to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Covered Shares and such other shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Purchaser’s Warrants or owned by Purchaser (collectively, “Registrable Securities”) as Purchaser designates within ninety days of written notice by Purchaser.  The Company shall use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

 

8.              RELEASES; COVENANT NOT TO SUE .

 

8.1            Release of All Parties .  With the exception of the obligations, representations and warranties that are expressly set forth in this Amendment and the Replacement Note, each party to this agreement (the “ Releasing Party ”), on behalf of itself and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby generally and unconditionally releases and forever discharges, from and after the Closing, each other party to this agreement (a “ Released Party ”) and the Released Party’s directors, officers, shareholders, employees, successors and assigns from any and all claims, demands, rights, causes of action, suits, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement), penalties and costs of any kind and character whatsoever, whether legal, contractual, statutory, administrative or equitable in nature or otherwise, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, direct or indirect, absolute, fixed or contingent, that Releasing Party may now or at any subsequent time have or hold against Released Party or the other released persons described in this sentence and that relate to, or otherwise arise out of any action or inaction by Releasing Party, Released Party or any other person during any period prior to the date of this Agreement.  The claims, demands, rights, causes of action, suits, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, expenses, penalties and costs that have been released and discharged by the Releasing Parties pursuant to this Agreement collectively are referred to as the “ Released Claims .”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Released Parties shall not include Cary Fitchey.

 

8.2            Unknown Claims and Risks Released .  With respect to the Released Claims, the Releasing Parties hereby knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive and relinquish, from and after the Closing, any and all rights and benefits that they may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, or under any similar provision of law of any state or territory of the United States or any other jurisdiction and under any similar or analogous principle of common law.  The Releasing Parties understand that Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides as follows:

 

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release which, if known by him, must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

 

The Releasing Parties agree and acknowledge that they are familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code.  They further agree and acknowledge that their respective waivers of all rights or any similar benefits under Section 1542 and under any similar statutes of

 

8



 

any other jurisdiction are essential terms of this Agreement without which the consideration given pursuant to this Agreement would not have been given by the Releasing Parties.

 

8.3            Unknown Claims

 

8.3.1         The Releasing Parties acknowledge that there is a risk that, after the execution of this Agreement, or after the Closing, they may discover or incur claims that were unknown or unanticipated at the time of this Agreement, including, without limitation, unknown or unanticipated claims that arise from, are based upon or are related to any facts underlying the Released Claims, which had they been known or more fully understood may have affected the Releasing Parties’ decisions to execute the Agreement as it currently is written.  The Releasing Parties knowingly and expressly assume the risk of these unknown and unanticipated claims and agree that this Agreement and the general releases set forth within it apply to all such unknown, unanticipated or potential claims.

 

8.3.2         It is the intention of the Releasing Parties, by entering into this Agreement, to settle and release fully, finally and forever from and after the Closing all Released Claims.  In furtherance of the Releasing Parties’ intention, the releases given within this Agreement shall be and remain in effect from and after the Closing as full and complete releases and discharges of the Released Claims notwithstanding the discovery by either the Releasing Parties of the existence of any additional or different claims or the facts relative to any such claims.

 

8.4            Covenant Not to Sue .  From and after the Closing, each of the Releasing Parties agrees to forever refrain from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any lawsuit, action or other proceeding, in law, equity or otherwise, against the Released Parties (or against any of the other persons who have been released by the Releasing Parties in this Section 8), in any way arising out of or relating to the Released Claims.

 

8.5            Injunctive Relief .  The Releasing Parties acknowledge and agree that monetary damages alone may be inadequate to compensate any released person for injury caused or threatened by a breach of Section 8.4 and that preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining and prohibiting the prosecution of any action or proceeding brought or instituted in violation of Section 8.4 may be a necessary and appropriate remedy in the event of such a breach.  Nothing contained in this Section 8.5, however, shall be interpreted or construed to prohibit or in any way to limit the right of a non-breaching party (or any other released person) to obtain, in addition to injunctive relief, an award of monetary damages against a party breaching this Agreement.

 

9.              GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)            Governing Law and Venue .  This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.  In the event of any litigation regarding the interpretation or application of this Agreement, the parties irrevocably consent to jurisdiction in any of the state or federal courts located in the City of Los Angeles, State of California and waive their rights to object to venue in any such court, regardless of the convenience or inconvenience thereof to any party.  Service of

 

9



 

process in any civil action relating to or arising out of this Agreement (including also all Exhibits or Schedules hereto) or the transaction(s) contemplated herein may be accomplished in any manner provided by law.  The parties hereto agree that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner.

 

(b)            Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and signature pages from such counterparts have been delivered.

 

(c)            Headings; Gender, Etc .  The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form a part of, or affect the interpretation of this Agreement.  As used herein, the masculine shall refer to the feminine and neuter, the feminine to the masculine and neuter, and the neuter to the masculine and feminine, as the context may require.  As used herein, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the words “herein,” “hereunder” and “hereby,” shall refer to this entire Agreement and not only to the Section or paragraph in which such word appears.  If any date specified herein falls upon a Saturday, Sunday or public or legal holidays, the date shall be construed to mean the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or public or legal holiday.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “business day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public or legal holiday.

 

(d)            Severability .  If any provision of this Amendment shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

 

(e)            Entire Agreement; Amendments .  This Amendment and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor Purchaser makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.  No provision of this Amendment may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged with enforcement.  Notwithstanding any herein to the contrary, (a) the covenants of the Company in the Note Purchase Agreement to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Amendment, and (b) the Lock-up Agreement shall remain in force and effect.

 

(f)             Notices .  Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Amendment shall be sent by U.S. Mail or delivered personally or by courier or via facsimile (if via facsimile, to be followed within three (3) business days by an original of the notice document via U.S. Mail or courier) and shall be effective five (5) days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or upon receipt, if delivered personally or by courier or by facsimile, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses for such communications shall be:

Litigation

 

              The Company has received a letter from an attorney claiming that Small World Kids owes $180,000 as a finder’s fee in connection with the acquisition of Small World Toys which claim is subject to indemnification by Eddy Goldwasser.

 

              The Company has been sued by Small Play Inc. in United States District Court for the Southern District of New Jersey that Small World Kids owes $1,000,000 in damages from not executing a licensing agreement.  The license only contemplated a $12,000 guaranteed royalty payment so $1,000,000 in alleged damages is believed excessive.

 

              The Company has been sued by Gemini Partners claiming a finder’s fee in connection with the reverse merger and the financing with St. Cloud.
