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

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

Litigation

World Toys which claim is subject to indemnification by Eddy
Goldwasser.

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

alleged damages is believed excessive.
