Exhibit 10.1


DEBT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS DEBT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into and effective as of September 11, 2015, by and among Spiral Toys Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Peter Henricsson, an individual (“Henricsson”), Gordon McDougall, an individual (“McDougall”), and Tezi Advisory, Inc., a private corporation wholly owned by McDougall (“Tezi”, together with Henricsson and McDougall, “Lenders”), with respect to the following:

The Lenders have loaned an aggregate principal amount of $120,000 plus all accrued, unpaid interest from Henricsson and McDougall or Tezi (the “Total Debt”) as described in that certain Share Exchange Agreement Amendment dated June 30, 2014 (the “Share Exchange Amendment”).

Except for this Total Debt, the Company does not owe any other debt to Lenders.

The Company agrees to deliver an aggregate of $100,000 (the “Debt Settlement Amount”) to the Lenders and the Lenders agree to accept the Debt Settlement Amount in full satisfaction of the Total Debt in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and undertakings herein specified and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, with the intent to be obligated legally and equitably, the parties agree as follows:

1.

Within five business days of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver to the Lenders by wire transfer or other immediately available funds an aggregate amount equal to the Debt Settlement Amount, in accordance with the instructions set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.   

2.

Effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and subject to the delivery and receipt of the Debt Settlement Amount, Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Total Debt plus all accrued and unpaid interest is hereby satisfied in its entirety and “paid in full”. The Lenders hereby confirm and agree that the Company does not owe any additional debt to any of the Lenders under the Share Exchange Amendment or any other contract, arrangement, or agreement.

3.

Effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Debt Settlement Amount in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders, for itself and himself and its or his respective assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, and representatives, hereby fully releases, remises, acquits, forever discharges, and indemnifies the Company and its respective affiliates and successors, together with all of its respective representatives, consultants, attorneys, fiduciaries, and assigns, from any and all claims,







demands, actions, losses, and expenses of any kind or nature arising out of any and all causes of action, agreements, claims, demands, actions, damages, judgments, debts, covenants, executions, liabilities, obligations, losses, and expenses of any kind or nature arising out of any acts, omissions, liabilities, transactions, transfers, happenings, violations, promises, facts, or circumstances, whether known or unknown, direct or indirect, arising out of or related to the Total Debt whether existing now or in the future.


To effect a full and complete general release as described above, the Lenders expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits of section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and do so understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequence of specifically waiving section 1542.

5.

The Lenders represent and warrant that they have had an opportunity to consult with an attorney, and have carefully read and understand the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement.  Nether the Lender or the Company has relied upon any representations or statements made by any other party that are not specifically set forth in this Agreement. In the event of vagueness, ambiguity or uncertainty, this Agreement shall not be construed against the party preparing it, but shall be construed as if all parties prepared it jointly.


6.

The Lenders represent and warrant that they have conducted all necessary investigations, assume the risk of any untruths regarding any matters upon which they have relied and forever waive any rights to rescind this Agreement.  


7.

In the event that any provision hereof becomes declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said illegal provision.








8.

This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Lenders and the Company, and represents the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement concerning the matters set forth herein.  Further, this Agreement shall supersede and replace any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings regarding the subject of this Agreement.
