Gentlemen:
We have assisted CirTran Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in
the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration
Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to
the registration of 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the
"Shares") to be issued and sold by selling shareholders identified in the
Registration Statement.
We have examined the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date,
and the Company's By-Laws, as amended to date, and have examined and relied on
the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records of
meetings, written actions in lieu of meetings, or resolutions adopted at
meetings, of the directors and stockholders of the Company, all as provided to
us by the Company, and such other documents and instruments as in our judgment
are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed
below.
In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed (i) the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, (ii) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted
to us as certified or photostatic copies, (iii) the authenticity of the
originals of the latter document, and (iv) the legal competence of all
signatures to such documents.

We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other
than the state laws of the State of Utah, the general corporate laws of the
State of Nevada, as applied by courts located in Delaware, the applicable
provisions of the Nevada Constitution and the reported judicial decisions
interpreting those laws, and the federal laws of the United States of America.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when (i) the
Registration Statement becomes effective, and (ii) certificates representing the
Shares are duly executed, countersigned, registered, and delivered upon receipt
of the agreed upon consideration therefor, the Shares will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
This opinion is being furnished to you for your benefit and may not be relied
upon by any other person without our prior written consent.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of

name therein and in the related Prospectus under the caption "Legal Matters." In

persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations of the Commission.
Very truly yours,

PROMISSORY NOTE
June 9, 2003
Jersey City, New Jersey $230,000.00
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CIRTRAN CORP., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP (the "Holder") at 101
Hudson Street, Suite 3606, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 or other address as the
Holder shall specify in writing, the principal sum of Two Hundred Thirty
Thousand (U.S.) Dollars and 00/100 ($230,000.00) and will be payable pursuant to
the following terms:
1. Amount of Note. The face amount of this Promissory Note (this "Note")
shall be payable out of the net proceeds to be received by the Company under
that certain Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Equity Line of Credit
Agreement") dated as April 8, 2003 between the Company and the Holder, provided
that all amounts due under this Note shall be paid in full within seventy (70)
calendar days of the date hereof, unless an extension is mutually agreed to by
the parties in writing. The Company agrees to escrow ten (10) requests for
advances under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement in an amount not less than
Twenty Three Thousand Dollars ($23,000) (individually referred to as "Advance
Notice" collectively referred to "Advance Notices") as well as Ten Million
Shares (10,000,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock as required under
Section 2.2(c) of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Escrowed Shares").
The Escrowed Shares are only an estimation of the shares of the Company's common
stock necessary to repay the principal amount and interest due hereunder. In the
event that during the life of this Note the Escrowed Shares are insufficient to
repay all amounts due hereunder the Company shall immediately escrow, pursuant
to the irrevocable transfer agent instructions dated the date hereof (the
"Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions") such number of shares of the
Company's common stock sufficient to repay all amounts due hereunder. The
Advance Notices and the shares of the Company's Common Stock will be held in
escrow by the law firm of Butler Gonzalez LLP, which shall release such requests
to the Holder every seven (7) calendar days commencing on June 9, 2003. The
Holder may at its sole discretion retain and apply the net proceeds of each
advance (after deducting any fees owed to the Holder under the terms of the
Equity Line of Credit) to the outstanding balance of this Note as existing from
time to time. If this Note is not paid in full when due, the outstanding
principal owed hereunder shall be due and payable in full together with interest
thereon at the rate of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or the highest
permitted by applicable law, if lower. During the term of this Note the Company
shall have the option to repay the amounts due hereunder in immediately
available funds and withdraw any Advance Notices yet to be effected. At the
Holder's option the interest due hereunder shall be paid when due either in
Common Stock or cash.
2. Additional Financing. If at any time during the term of this Note the
principal amount together with interest is less than One Hundred Thirty Thousand
Dollars ($130,000) the Holder may, in its sole discretion, offer to the Company
either a promissory note or an Advance pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit
Agreement in an amount that will result all amounts, including all amounts due
pursuant to this Note, owed to the Holder by the Company equal to Two Hundred
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($230,000).
3. Waiver and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by law and except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company waives demand, presentment, protest,
notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other
requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this
Note.
4. Costs, Indemnities and Expenses. In the event of default as described
herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the
Holder in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving
litigation, collecting upon any judgments and/or appellate or bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangible
taxes or other taxes which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or any
payment made in respect of this Note, and the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold the Holder harmless from and against any liability, costs, attorneys' fees,
penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same
may be incurred.
5. Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), the
entire principal balance and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, and
all other obligations of the Company under this Note, shall be immediately due
and payable without any action on the part of the Holder, and the Holder shall
be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it. No
remedy conferred under this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy available to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The
failure of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or
otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a
waiver thereof. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make payment of the outstanding principal balance plus
accrued interest pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company fails to satisfy any other obligation or requirement of the Company
under this Note; or (ii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United
States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Holder,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect
(whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or
any part of its property.
6. Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any agreed to or actual
interest charged, reserved or taken by the Holder as consideration for this Note
exceed the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest
provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an
2
effective rate of interest that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by
applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by
the Holder in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied
against the principal of this Note immediately upon the Holder's receipt
thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically
designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had
agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or
prepayments.
7. Cancellation of Note. Upon the repayment by the Company of all of its
obligations hereunder to the Holder, including, without limitation, the face
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, the indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the provisions of this Note, payments received by the
Holder hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next
against interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note.
8. Severability. If any provision of this Note is, for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be
valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
this Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid
and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
9. Amendment and Waiver. This Note may be amended, or any provision of
this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be
binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a
writing executed by the parties hereto. The waiver by any such party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other breach.
10. Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note shall bind
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.
11. Assignment. This Note shall not be directly or indirectly assignable or
delegable by the Company. The Holder may assign this Note as long as such
assignment complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
12. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Note will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
13. Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute all documents and
take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to
consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes
of this Note.

15. Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The
Holder's remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other remedies available to the Holder under this Note, at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no
remedy of the Holder contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance
4
with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit
the Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to
comply with the terms of this Note. Every right and remedy of the Holder under
any document executed in connection with this transaction may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Holder. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach
may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, and specific
performance without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond
or other security being required.
16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by
the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New
Jersey or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdictions other than the State of New Jersey. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in Hudson County, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such
suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law.
17. No Inconsistent Agreements. None of the parties hereto will hereafter
enter into any agreement, which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
parties in this Note.
18. Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall
be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity, other than the
parties to this Note and their respective permitted successor and assigns, any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Note.
19. Waiver of Jury Trial. AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE HOLDER TO LOAN

Exhibit 10.27
PROMISSORY NOTE
July 16, 2003
Jersey City, New Jersey $100,000.00
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CIRTRAN CORP., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP (the "Holder") at 101
Hudson Street, Suite 3606, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 or other address as the
Holder shall specify in writing, the principal sum of One Hundred Thousand
(U.S.) Dollars and 00/100 ($100,000.00) and will be payable pursuant to the
following terms:
1. Amount of Note. The face amount of this Promissory Note (this "Note")
shall be payable out of the net proceeds to be received by the Company under
that certain Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Equity Line of Credit
Agreement") dated as April 8, 2003 between the Company and the Holder, provided
that all amounts due under this Note shall be paid in full within eighty (80)
calendar days of the date hereof, unless an extension is mutually agreed to by
the parties in writing. The Company agrees to escrow six (6) requests for
advances under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement five (5) in an amount not
less than Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) and one (1) in an amount not less
than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (individually referred to as
"Advance Notice" collectively referred to "Advance Notices") as well as ten
million (10,000,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock as required under
Section 2.2(c) of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Escrowed Shares").
The Escrowed Shares are only an estimation of the shares of the Company's common
stock necessary to repay the principal amount and interest due hereunder. In the
event that during the life of this Note the Escrowed Shares are insufficient to
repay all amounts due hereunder the Company shall immediately escrow, pursuant
to the irrevocable transfer agent instructions dated the date hereof (the
"Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions") such number of shares of the
Company's common stock sufficient to repay all amounts due hereunder. The
Advance Notices and the shares of the Company's Common Stock will be held in
escrow by the law firm of Butler Gonzalez LLP, which shall release such requests
to the Holder every seven (7) calendar days commencing on September 1, 2003. The
Holder may at its sole discretion retain and apply the net proceeds of each
advance (after deducting any fees owed to the Holder under the terms of the
Equity Line of Credit) to the outstanding balance of this Note as existing from
time to time. If this Note is not paid in full when due, the outstanding
principal owed hereunder shall be due and payable in full together with interest
thereon at the rate of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or the highest
permitted by applicable law, if lower. During the term of this Note the Company
shall have the option to repay the amounts due hereunder in immediately
available funds and withdraw any Advance Notices yet to be effected. At the
Holder's option the interest due hereunder shall be paid when due either in
Common Stock or cash.
2. Additional Financing. If at any time during the term of this Note the
principal amount together with interest is less than One Thirty Thousand Dollars
($130,000) the Holder may, in its sole discretion, offer to the Company either a
promissory note or an Advance pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement in
an amount that will result all amounts, including all amounts due pursuant to
this Note, owed to the Holder by the Company equal to Two Hundred Thirty
Thousand Dollars ($230,000).
3. Waiver and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by law and except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company waives demand, presentment, protest,
notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other
requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this
Note.
4. Costs, Indemnities and Expenses. In the event of default as described
herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the
Holder in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving
litigation, collecting upon any judgments and/or appellate or bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangible
taxes or other taxes which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or any
payment made in respect of this Note, and the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold the Holder harmless from and against any liability, costs, attorneys' fees,
penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same
may be incurred.
5. Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), the
entire principal balance and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, and
all other obligations of the Company under this Note, shall be immediately due
and payable without any action on the part of the Holder, and the Holder shall
be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it. No
remedy conferred under this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy available to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The
failure of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or
otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a
waiver thereof. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make payment of the outstanding principal balance plus
accrued interest pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company fails to satisfy any other obligation or requirement of the Company
under this Note; or (ii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United
States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Holder,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect
(whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or
any part of its property.
6. Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any agreed to or actual
interest charged, reserved or taken by the Holder as consideration for this Note
2
exceed the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest
provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an
effective rate of interest that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by
applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by
the Holder in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied
against the principal of this Note immediately upon the Holder's receipt
thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically
designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had
agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or
prepayments.
7. Cancellation of Note. Upon the repayment by the Company of all of its
obligations hereunder to the Holder, including, without limitation, the face
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, the indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the provisions of this Note, payments received by the
Holder hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next
against interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note.
8. Severability. If any provision of this Note is, for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be
valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
this Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid
and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
9. Amendment and Waiver. This Note may be amended, or any provision of
this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be
binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a
writing executed by the parties hereto. The waiver by any such party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other breach.
10. Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note shall bind
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.
11. Assignment. This Note shall not be directly or indirectly assignable or
delegable by the Company. The Holder may assign this Note as long as such
assignment complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
12. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Note will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
13. Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute all documents and
take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to
consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes
of this Note.

14. Notices, Consents, etc. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof must be

Holder's remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other remedies available to the Holder under this Note, at law or in equity

4
remedy of the Holder contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance
with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit

any document executed in connection with this transaction may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Holder. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach
may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, and specific
performance without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond
or other security being required.

of any jurisdictions other than the State of New Jersey. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in Essex County, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such
suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law.
17. No Inconsistent Agreements. None of the parties hereto will hereafter
enter into any agreement, which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
parties in this Note.
18. Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall
be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity, other than the
parties to this Note and their respective permitted successor and assigns, any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Note.

Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (individually referred to as "Advance Notice"
collectively referred to "Advance Notices") as well as twenty million
(20,000,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock as required under Section
2.2(c) of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Escrowed Shares"). The
Escrowed Shares are only an estimation of the shares of the Company's common
stock necessary to repay the principal amount and interest due hereunder. In the
event that during the life of this Note the Escrowed Shares are insufficient to
repay all amounts due hereunder the Company shall immediately escrow, pursuant
to the irrevocable transfer agent instructions dated the date hereof (the
"Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions") such number of shares of the
Company's common stock sufficient to repay all amounts due hereunder. The
Advance Notices and the shares of the Company's Common Stock will be held in
escrow by the law firm of Butler Gonzalez LLP, which shall release such requests
to the Holder every seven (7) calendar days commencing on October 20, 2003. The
Holder may at its sole discretion retain and apply the net proceeds of each
advance (after deducting any fees owed to the Holder under the terms of the
Equity Line of Credit) to the outstanding balance of this Note as existing from
time to time. If this Note is not paid in full when due, the outstanding
principal owed hereunder shall be due and payable in full together with interest
thereon at the rate of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or the highest
permitted by applicable law, if lower. During the term of this Note the Company
shall have the option to repay the amounts due hereunder in immediately
available funds and withdraw any Advance Notices yet to be effected. At the
Holder's option the interest due hereunder shall be paid when due either in
Common Stock or cash.
2. Waiver and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by law and except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company waives demand, presentment, protest,
notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other
requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this
Note.
3. Costs, Indemnities and Expenses. In the event of default as described
herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the
Holder in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving
litigation, collecting upon any judgments and/or appellate or bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangible
taxes or other taxes which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or any
payment made in respect of this Note, and the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold the Holder harmless from and against any liability, costs, attorneys' fees,
penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same
may be incurred.
4. Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), the
entire principal balance and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, and
all other obligations of the Company under this Note, shall be immediately due
and payable without any action on the part of the Holder, and the Holder shall
be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it. No
remedy conferred under this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy available to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The
failure of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or
otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a
waiver thereof. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make payment of the outstanding principal balance plus
accrued interest pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company fails to satisfy any other obligation or requirement of the Company
under this Note; or (ii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United
States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Holder,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect
(whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or
any part of its property.
5. Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any agreed to or actual
interest charged, reserved or taken by the Holder as consideration for this Note
exceed the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest
provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an
2
effective rate of interest that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by
applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by
the Holder in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied
against the principal of this Note immediately upon the Holder's receipt
thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically
designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had
agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or
prepayments.
6. Cancellation of Note. Upon the repayment by the Company of all of its
obligations hereunder to the Holder, including, without limitation, the face
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, the indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the provisions of this Note, payments received by the
Holder hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next
against interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note.
7. Severability. If any provision of this Note is, for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be
valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
this Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid
and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
8. Amendment and Waiver. This Note may be amended, or any provision of
this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be
binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a
writing executed by the parties hereto. The waiver by any such party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other breach.
9. Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note shall bind
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.
10. Assignment. This Note shall not be directly or indirectly assignable or
delegable by the Company. The Holder may assign this Note as long as such
assignment complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
11. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Note will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
12. Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute all documents and
take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to
consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes
of this Note.

13. Notices, Consents, etc. Any notices, consents, waivers or other

Holder's remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other remedies available to the Holder under this Note, at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no
remedy of the Holder contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance
4
with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit

any document executed in connection with this transaction may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Holder. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach
may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, and specific
performance without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond
or other security being required.

of any jurisdictions other than the State of New Jersey. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in Essex County, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such
suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law.
16. No Inconsistent Agreements. None of the parties hereto will hereafter
enter into any agreement, which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
parties in this Note.
17. Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall
be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity, other than the
parties to this Note and their respective permitted successor and assigns, any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Note.
18. Waiver of Jury Trial. AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE HOLDER TO LOAN
TO THE COMPANY THE MONIES HEREUNDER, THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT
AND/OR ANY AND ALL OF THE OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRANSACTION.

made by or for any party in connection with the negotiation of the terms hereof,

all other obligations of the Company under this Note, shall be immediately due
and payable without any action on the part of the Holder, and the Holder shall
be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it. No
remedy conferred under this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy available to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The
failure of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or
otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a
waiver thereof. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make payment of the outstanding principal balance plus
accrued interest pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company fails to satisfy any other obligation or requirement of the Company
under this Note; or (ii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United
States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Holder,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect
(whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or
any part of its property.
5. Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any agreed to or actual
interest charged, reserved or taken by the Holder as consideration for this Note
2
exceed the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest
provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an
effective rate of interest that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by
applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by
the Holder in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied
against the principal of this Note immediately upon the Holder's receipt
thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically
designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had
agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or
prepayments.
6. Cancellation of Note. Upon the repayment by the Company of all of its
obligations hereunder to the Holder, including, without limitation, the face
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, the indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the provisions of this Note, payments received by the
Holder hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next
against interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note.
7. Severability. If any provision of this Note is, for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be
valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
this Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid
and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
8. Amendment and Waiver. This Note may be amended, or any provision of
this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be
binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a
writing executed by the parties hereto. The waiver by any such party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other breach.
9. Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note shall bind
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.
10. Assignment. This Note shall not be directly or indirectly assignable or
delegable by the Company. The Holder may assign this Note as long as such
assignment complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
11. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Note will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
12. Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute all documents and
take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to
consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes
of this Note.

Holder's remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other remedies available to the Holder under this Note, at law or in equity
4
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no
remedy of the Holder contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance
with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit
the Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to
comply with the terms of this Note. Every right and remedy of the Holder under
any document executed in connection with this transaction may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Holder. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach
may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, and specific
performance without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond
or other security being required.

validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by
the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New
Jersey or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdictions other than the State of New Jersey. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in Essex County, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such
suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law.
16. No Inconsistent Agreements. None of the parties hereto will hereafter
enter into any agreement, which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
parties in this Note.
17. Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall
be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity, other than the
parties to this Note and their respective permitted successor and assigns, any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Note.
18. Waiver of Jury Trial. AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE HOLDER TO LOAN
TO THE COMPANY THE MONIES HEREUNDER, THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT
AND/OR ANY AND ALL OF THE OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRANSACTION.

19. Entire Agreement. This Note (including the recitals hereto) and the
Equity Line of Credit Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall not be modified or
affected by any offer, proposal, statement or representation, oral or written,
made by or for any party in connection with the negotiation of the terms hereof,

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CIRTRAN CORP., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP (the "Holder") at 101
Hudson Street, Suite 3606, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 or other address as the
Holder shall specify in writing, the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
(U.S.) Dollars and 00/100 ($250,000.00) and will be payable pursuant to the
following terms:
1. Amount of Note. The face amount of this Promissory Note (this "Note")
shall be payable out of the net proceeds to be received by the Company under
that certain Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Equity Line of Credit
Agreement") dated as April 8, 2003 between the Company and the Holder, provided
that all amounts due under this Note shall be paid in full within seventy one
(71) calendar days of the date hereof, unless an extension is mutually agreed to
by the parties in writing. The Company agrees to escrow three (3) requests for
advances under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement of which two (2) advances
shall be in an amount not less than Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) and
one (1) shall be in an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) (individually referred to as "Advance Notice" collectively referred
to "Advance Notices") as well as Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of the
Company's Common Stock as required under Section 2.2(c) of the Equity Line of
Credit Agreement (the "Escrowed Shares"). The Escrowed Shares are only an
estimation of the shares of the Company's common stock necessary to repay the
principal amount and interest due hereunder. In the event that during the life
of this Note the Escrowed Shares are insufficient to repay all amounts due
hereunder the Company shall immediately escrow, pursuant to the irrevocable
transfer agent instructions dated the date hereof (the "Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions") such number of shares of the Company's common stock
sufficient to repay all amounts due hereunder. The Advance Notices and the
shares of the Company's Common Stock will be held in escrow by the law firm of
Butler Gonzalez LLP, which shall release such requests to the Holder every seven
(7) calendar days commencing on December 29, 2003. The Holder may at its sole
discretion retain and apply the net proceeds of each advance (after deducting
any fees owed to the Holder under the terms of the Equity Line of Credit) to the
outstanding balance of this Note as existing from time to time. If this Note is
not paid in full when due, the outstanding principal owed hereunder shall be due
and payable in full together with interest thereon at the rate of twenty-four
percent (24%) per annum or the highest permitted by applicable law, if lower.
During the term of this Note the Company shall have the option to repay the
amounts due hereunder in immediately available funds and withdraw any Advance
Notices yet to be effected. At the Holder's option the interest due hereunder
shall be paid when due either in Common Stock or cash.
2. Waiver and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by law and except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company waives demand, presentment, protest,
notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other
requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this
Note.
3. Costs, Indemnities and Expenses. In the event of default as described
herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the
Holder in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving
litigation, collecting upon any judgments and/or appellate or bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangible
taxes or other taxes which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or any
payment made in respect of this Note, and the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold the Holder harmless from and against any liability, costs, attorneys' fees,
penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same
may be incurred.
4. Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), the
entire principal balance and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, and

be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it. No
remedy conferred under this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy available to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The
failure of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or
otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a
waiver thereof. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make payment of the outstanding principal balance plus
accrued interest pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company fails to satisfy any other obligation or requirement of the Company

States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Holder,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect
(whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or
any part of its property.

2
exceed the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest
provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an

this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be

Exhibit 10.34
PROMISSORY NOTE
December 23, 2003
Jersey City, New Jersey $150,000.00
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CIRTRAN CORP., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP (the "Holder") at 101
Hudson Street, Suite 3606, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 or other address as the
Holder shall specify in writing, the principal sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand
(U.S.) Dollars and 00/100 ($150,000.00) and will be payable pursuant to the
following terms:
1. Amount of Note. The face amount of this Promissory Note (this "Note")
shall be payable out of the net proceeds to be received by the Company under
that certain Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Equity Line of Credit
Agreement") dated as April 8, 2003 between the Company and the Holder, provided
that all amounts due under this Note shall be paid in full within sixty-nine
(69) calendar days of the date hereof, unless an extension is mutually agreed to
by the parties in writing. The Company agrees to escrow two (2) requests for
advances under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement in an amount not less than
Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) (individually referred to as "Advance
Notice" collectively referred to "Advance Notices") as well as Ten Million
(10,000,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock as required under Section
2.2(c) of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Escrowed Shares"). The
Escrowed Shares are only an estimation of the shares of the Company's common
stock necessary to repay the principal amount and interest due hereunder. In the
event that during the life of this Note the Escrowed Shares are insufficient to
repay all amounts due hereunder the Company shall immediately escrow, pursuant
to the irrevocable transfer agent instructions dated the date hereof (the
"Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions") such number of shares of the
Company's common stock sufficient to repay all amounts due hereunder. The
Advance Notices and the shares of the Company's Common Stock will be held in
escrow by the law firm of Butler Gonzalez LLP, which shall release such requests
to the Holder every seven (7) calendar days commencing on February 16, 2004. The
Holder may at its sole discretion retain and apply the net proceeds of each
advance (after deducting any fees owed to the Holder under the terms of the
Equity Line of Credit) to the outstanding balance of this Note as existing from
time to time. If this Note is not paid in full when due, the outstanding
principal owed hereunder shall be due and payable in full together with interest
thereon at the rate of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or the highest
permitted by applicable law, if lower. During the term of this Note the Company
shall have the option to repay the amounts due hereunder in immediately
available funds and withdraw any Advance Notices yet to be effected. At the
Holder's option the interest due hereunder shall be paid when due either in
Common Stock or cash.
2. Waiver and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by law and except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company waives demand, presentment, protest,
notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other
requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this
Note.
3. Costs, Indemnities and Expenses. In the event of default as described
herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the
Holder in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving
litigation, collecting upon any judgments and/or appellate or bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangible
taxes or other taxes which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or any
payment made in respect of this Note, and the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold the Holder harmless from and against any liability, costs, attorneys' fees,
penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same
may be incurred.
4. Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), the
entire principal balance and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, and
all other obligations of the Company under this Note, shall be immediately due
and payable without any action on the part of the Holder, and the Holder shall
be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it. No
remedy conferred under this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy available to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The
failure of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or
otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a
waiver thereof. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make payment of the outstanding principal balance plus
accrued interest pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company fails to satisfy any other obligation or requirement of the Company
under this Note; or (ii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United
States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Holder,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect
(whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or
any part of its property.
5. Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any agreed to or actual
interest charged, reserved or taken by the Holder as consideration for this Note
exceed the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest
provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an
effective rate of interest that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by
2
applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by
the Holder in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied
against the principal of this Note immediately upon the Holder's receipt
thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically
designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had
agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or
prepayments.
6. Cancellation of Note. Upon the repayment by the Company of all of its
obligations hereunder to the Holder, including, without limitation, the face
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, the indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the provisions of this Note, payments received by the
Holder hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next
against interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note.
7. Severability. If any provision of this Note is, for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be
valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
this Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid
and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
8. Amendment and Waiver. This Note may be amended, or any provision of
this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be
binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a
writing executed by the parties hereto. The waiver by any such party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other breach.
9. Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note shall bind
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.
10. Assignment. This Note shall not be directly or indirectly assignable or
delegable by the Company. The Holder may assign this Note as long as such
assignment complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
11. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Note will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
12. Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute all documents and
take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to

of this Note.

irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in Essex County, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such
suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve

enter into any agreement, which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
parties in this Note.

Exhibit 10.36
PROMISSORY NOTE
February 27, 2004
Jersey City, New Jersey $250,000.00
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CIRTRAN CORP., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP (the "Holder") at 101
Hudson Street, Suite 3606, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 or other address as the
Holder shall specify in writing, the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
(U.S.) Dollars and 00/100 ($250,000.00) and will be payable pursuant to the
following terms:
1. Amount of Note. The face amount of this Promissory Note (this "Note")
and interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum shall be payable out
of the net proceeds to be received by the Company under that certain Equity Line
of Credit Agreement (the "Equity Line of Credit Agreement") dated as April 8,
2003 between the Company and the Holder, provided that the Company shall pay all
amounts due under this Note shall be paid in full within eighty-seven (87)
calendar days of the date hereof regardless of the availability of proceeds
under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, unless an extension is mutually
agreed to by the parties in writing. The Company agrees to escrow three (3)
requests for advances under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement of which two (2)
shall be in an amount not less than Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) and
one (1) in an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
(individually referred to as "Advance Notice" collectively referred to "Advance
Notices") as well as Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of the Company's Common
Stock as required under Section 2.2(c) of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement
(the "Escrowed Shares"). The Escrowed Shares are only an estimation of the
shares of the Company's common stock necessary to repay the principal amount and
interest due hereunder. In the event that during the life of this Note the
Escrowed Shares are insufficient to repay all amounts due hereunder the Company
shall immediately escrow, pursuant to the irrevocable transfer agent
instructions dated the date hereof (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions") such number of shares of the Company's common stock sufficient to
repay all amounts due hereunder. The Advance Notices and the shares of the
Company's Common Stock will be held in escrow by the law firm of Butler Gonzalez
LLP, which shall release such requests to the Holder every seven (7) calendar
days commencing on May 3, 2004. The Holder may at its sole discretion retain and
apply the net proceeds of each advance (after deducting any fees owed to the
Holder under the terms of the Equity Line of Credit) to the outstanding balance
of this Note as existing from time to time. Interest shall be payable upon the
due date of this Note. If this Note is not paid in full when due, the
outstanding principal owed hereunder shall be due and payable in full together
with interest thereon at the rate of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or the
highest permitted by applicable law, if lower. During the term of this Note the
Company shall have the option to repay the amounts due hereunder in immediately
available funds and withdraw any Advance Notices yet to be effected. At the
Holder's option the interest due hereunder shall be paid when due either in
Common Stock or cash.
2. Waiver and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by law and except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company waives demand, presentment, protest,
notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other
requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this
Note.
3. Costs, Indemnities and Expenses. In the event of default as described
herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the
Holder in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving
litigation, collecting upon any judgments and/or appellate or bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangible
taxes or other taxes which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or any
payment made in respect of this Note, and the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold the Holder harmless from and against any liability, costs, attorneys' fees,
penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same
may be incurred.
4. Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), the
entire principal balance and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, and
all other obligations of the Company under this Note, shall be immediately due
and payable without any action on the part of the Holder, and the Holder shall
be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it. No
remedy conferred under this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy available to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The
failure of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or
otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a
waiver thereof. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make payment of the outstanding principal balance plus
accrued interest pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company fails to satisfy any other obligation or requirement of the Company
under this Note; or (ii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United
States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Holder,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect
(whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or
any part of its property.
2
5. Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any agreed to or actual
interest charged, reserved or taken by the Holder as consideration for this Note
exceed the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest
provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an
effective rate of interest that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by
applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by
the Holder in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied
against the principal of this Note immediately upon the Holder's receipt
thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically
designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had
agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or
prepayments.
6. Cancellation of Note. Upon the repayment by the Company of all of its
obligations hereunder to the Holder, including, without limitation, the face
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, the indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the provisions of this Note, payments received by the
Holder hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next
against interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note.
7. Severability. If any provision of this Note is, for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be
valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
this Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid
and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
8. Amendment and Waiver. This Note may be amended, or any provision of
this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be
binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a
writing executed by the parties hereto. The waiver by any such party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other breach.
9. Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note shall bind
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.
10. Assignment. This Note shall not be directly or indirectly assignable or
delegable by the Company. The Holder may assign this Note as long as such
assignment complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
11. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Note will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
3
12. Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute all documents and
take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to
consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes
of this Note.
13. Notices, Consents, etc. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof must be

delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided

Exhibit 10.38
PROMISSORY NOTE
June 17, 2004
Jersey City, New Jersey $1,700,000.00
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CIRTRAN CORP., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP (the "Holder") at 101
Hudson Street, Suite 3606, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 or other address as the
Holder shall specify in writing, the principal sum of One Million Seven Hundred
Thousand (U.S.) Dollars and 00/100 ($1,700,000.00) and will be payable pursuant
to the following terms:
1. Amount of Note. The face amount of this Promissory Note (this "Note")
shall be payable either out of the net proceeds to be received by the Company
under that certain Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Equity Line of Credit
Agreement") dated as April 8, 2003 between the Company and the Holder, or all
amounts due under this Note shall be paid in full within one hundred
ninety-three (193) calendar days of the date hereof, unless an extension is
mutually agreed to by the parties in writing, regardless of the availability of
proceeds under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement.. The Company agrees to
escrow fifteen (15) requests for advances under the Equity Line of Credit
Agreement in an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and
one (1) request for advance under the Equity Line of Credit Agreement in an
amount not less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (individually
referred to as "Advance Notice" collectively referred to "Advance Notices") as
well as an appropriate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as
required under Section 2.2(c) of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the
"Escrowed Shares"). The Escrowed Shares are only an estimation of the shares of
the Company's common stock necessary to repay the principal amount and interest
due hereunder. In the event that during the life of this Note the Escrowed
Shares are insufficient to repay all amounts due hereunder the Company shall
immediately escrow, pursuant to the irrevocable transfer agent instructions
dated the date hereof (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions") such
number of shares of the Company's common stock sufficient to repay all amounts
due hereunder. The Advance Notices and the shares of the Company's Common Stock
will be held in escrow by the law firm of Butler Gonzalez LLP, which shall
release such requests to the Holder every seven (7) calendar days commencing on
September 6, 2004. The Holder may at its sole discretion retain and apply the
net proceeds of each advance (after deducting any fees owed to the Holder under
the terms of the Equity Line of Credit) to the outstanding balance of this Note
as existing from time to time. If this Note is not paid in full when due, the
outstanding principal owed hereunder shall be due and payable in full together
with interest thereon at the rate of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum or the
highest permitted by applicable law, if lower. During the term of this Note the
Company shall have the option to repay the amounts due hereunder in immediately
available funds and withdraw any Advance Notices yet to be effected.
2. Waiver and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by law and except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company waives demand, presentment, protest,
notice of dishonor, suit against or joinder of any other person, and all other
requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this
Note.
3. Costs, Indemnities and Expenses. In the event of default as described
herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the
Holder in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving
litigation, collecting upon any judgments and/or appellate or bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes, intangible
taxes or other taxes which may now or hereafter apply to this Note or any
payment made in respect of this Note, and the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold the Holder harmless from and against any liability, costs, attorneys' fees,
penalties, interest or expenses relating to any such taxes, as and when the same
may be incurred.
4. Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), the
entire principal balance and accrued interest outstanding under this Note, and
all other obligations of the Company under this Note, shall be immediately due
and payable without any action on the part of the Holder, and the Holder shall
be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it. No
remedy conferred under this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy available to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The
failure of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or
otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a
waiver thereof. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make payment of the outstanding principal balance plus
accrued interest pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company fails to satisfy any other obligation or requirement of the Company
under this Note; or (ii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United
States of America or under any insolvency, not disclosed to the Holder,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any similar law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereinafter in effect
(whether in law or at equity) is filed by or against the Company or for all or
any part of its property.
5. Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any agreed to or actual
interest charged, reserved or taken by the Holder as consideration for this Note
exceed the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest
provisions of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an
effective rate of interest that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by
applicable law, then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be
2
fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to such limit and all sums received by
the Holder in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest shall be applied
against the principal of this Note immediately upon the Holder's receipt
thereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically
designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had
agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or
prepayments.
6. Cancellation of Note. Upon the repayment by the Company of all of its
obligations hereunder to the Holder, including, without limitation, the face
amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, the indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the provisions of this Note, payments received by the
Holder hereunder shall be applied first against expenses and indemnities, next
against interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note.
7. Severability. If any provision of this Note is, for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be
valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of
this Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid
and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
8. Amendment and Waiver. This Note may be amended, or any provision of
this Note may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be
binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a
writing executed by the parties hereto. The waiver by any such party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any other breach.
9. Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note shall bind
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.
10. Assignment. This Note shall not be directly or indirectly assignable or
delegable by the Company. The Holder may assign this Note as long as such
assignment complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
11. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Note will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
12. Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute all documents and
take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to
consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes
of this Note.
3
13. Notices, Consents, etc. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof must be

delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and

Holder's remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other remedies available to the Holder under this Note, at law or in equity

remedy of the Holder contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance
with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit

other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, and specific
performance without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond
or other security being required.

Jersey or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdictions other than the State of New Jersey. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in Essex County, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such
suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law.
16. No Inconsistent Agreements. None of the parties hereto will hereafter
enter into any agreement, which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
parties in this Note.
17. Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall
be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity, other than the
parties to this Note and their respective permitted successor and assigns, any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Note.

2. Sale of Products; Packaging.
2.1 Requirements. Subject to the terms and conditions hereafter
set forth, during the "Term" of this Agreement (as defined in Section 6
below), GRC agrees to buy from Manufacturer, on an exclusive basis, all
of its requirements for the Product identified in Exhibit "A" (i.e.,
Manufacturer shall provide all of GRC's requirements for the hard
fitness product and related components identified in Exhibit A, but
excluding any requirements for items not listed on Exhibit "A" but
which may be sold with the Product [e.g., vitamin supplements,
paper/promotional inserts, etc.].During the Term (as defined below),
GRC agrees to purchase a minimum of XXXXXX (XXXXXX) units of the
Product (the "Minimum Quantity"), subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Manufacturer's
compliance with its obligations hereunder. GRC shall submit purchase
orders for the Product from time to time in accordance with Section 2.3
below. It is acknowledged and agreed that Manufacturer shall not
modify, or otherwise deviate from manufacturing the Product in
accordance with, the Specifications without the prior written

forth herein, Manufacturer shall be responsible for the selection,
sourcing and purchasing of all materials and packaging for the Product
(collectively, the "Packaging").
2
[XXXXX - REDACTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
2.3 Purchase Orders. Each purchase order ("Purchase Order") for
the Product shall be in writing and shall specify the particular
Product to be manufactured and packaged, the quantity of Product and
the date upon which GRC desires to have the Product ready for delivery
(the "Requested Delivery Date"). The initial Purchase Order for the
Product is attached hereto as Exhibit "B". Minimum lead time for
shipment and other terms are set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
Subject to Section 2.4, Manufacturer shall deliver the Product on or
before the Requested Delivery Date. Upon GRC delivering a written
purchase order to Manufacturer, Manufacturer shall confirm
Manufacturer's receipt of such Purchase Order in writing to be
delivered by Manufacturer to GRC.
2.4 Shipment. All Product will be shipped FOB Ningbo Harbor, China
to the GRC destination, which destination shall be specified by GRC in
the applicable purchase order. Product will be inspected by "PRO QC" or
other inspectors mutually acceptable to the parties and upon approval
by the inspector will be deemed accepted by GRC. All risk of damage and
loss to the Product which is the subject of a shipment transfers to GRC
upon such acceptance, unless such damage is caused by Manufacturer's
gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with
Manufacturer's manufacturing, packaging, shipping or warehousing of
Product. Manufacturer understands and acknowledges that time is of the
essence with regard to this Agreement and the delivery of Product
hereunder. Subject to all of GRC's rights and remedies as set forth in
this Agreement, if Product is delivered outside the agreed upon Lead
Time as set forth herein (a failure to timely deliver for any reason
other than as set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) in this Section
shall be deemed to be a "Material Delay"), Manufacturer shall reimburse
GRC for any third party costs incurred and paid by GRC as a result of
Manufacturer's failure to timely deliver the Product (including,
without limitation, "rush" shipment costs, replacement manufacturing,
cancellation of Product promotions, lost or cancelled orders due to
delay in delivery of Product etc.). The parties acknowledge and agree
that in addition to the force majeure provisions of Section 13, the
following two (2) conditions shall be deemed exceptions to the "time is
of the essence" requirement, and shall not be deemed a "Material
Delay": (i) a late delivery of the Product caused by GRC's
instructions, changes, or modifications to the Products (including
purchase orders for quantities of Product in excess of that
contemplated by the forecasts described in Section 2.6) or (ii) any
period of no more than two (2) weeks during which Product is not
available for delivery to GRC FOB Ningbo Harbor, China due to a delay
caused by a decision of a United States or Chinese governmental agency
to review any Product which is the subject of any shipment.
2.5 Artwork; Spare Parts. GRC shall produce and deliver to
Manufacturer all artwork for Product logos and marks, when applicable
and necessary. Manufacturer shall maintain spare parts for the Product
during the Term hereof and for six (6) months thereafter ("Six Month
Post-Term Period"). Manufacturer agrees to maintain such spare parts in
its United States facilities equal to at least 1/2 of 1% of the average
dollar value of GRC's monthly purchases of the Product. GRC shall pay
3
[XXXXX - REDACTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
Manufacturer its actual documented costs paid to third parties for such
replacement parts (including shipping and duties) (i) for all such
replacement parts needed by GRC other than replacements for defective
parts covered by Manufacturer's warranty, and (ii) for Manufacturer's
inventory of such replacement parts on hand at the end of the Six Month
Post-Term Period, but not to exceed the 1/2 of 1% limit described in
this Section.
2.6 Inventory Forecast. For purposes of production and inventory
planning, GRC will provide to Manufacturer, when submitting a Purchase
Order, a non-binding forecast of Purchase Orders to be submitted by it
during the next six (6) months by number of units of the Product
estimated to be purchased through Purchase Orders for such six (6)
month period and anticipated delivery dates (the "180 Day Forecasts")
and at least once every six (6) months during the Term a forecast of
demand by month for the remainder of the next twelve months
(collectively, the "Annual Forecasts" and, together with the 180 Day
Forecasts, "Forecasts"). Notwithstanding the above, to enable GRC to
more accurately gauge initial demand for the Product, GRC is not
required to submit 180 Day Forecasts with any Purchase Orders submitted
within the first 45 days after the date hereof. The Forecasts are not
firm orders for the total quantity of Product reflected therein, and
specific delivery dates may be accelerated or delayed by up to 30 days
as reflected by the Purchase Orders. The parties acknowledge that the
Forecasts are estimates only, and shall be based on GRC's good faith
efforts to accurately reflect the timing and amount of Product orders
on all relevant information available to GRC at the time of the
Forecast. GRC will promptly notify Manufacturer of any material change
in the applicable Forecast, which GRC anticipates as a result of market
developments or other relevant factors. The parties acknowledge and
agree that any failure or inability of GRC to meet any Forecast shall
not be deemed a breach of this Agreement as such Annual Forecasts are
for informational purposes only. Manufacturer shall supply GRC with up
to twenty (20%) over the amount forecasted in the relevant Forecast,
but shall not be liable, nor shall it be a breach of this Agreement,
for its failure to provide in excess of twenty percent (20%) over the
amount in the Forecast for the applicable time period.
3. Miscellaneous Supply Issues.
3.1 Procedures. Manufacturer and GRC shall mutually agree in
writing upon appropriate procedures and policies to ensure that each
Product is in all respects up to the reasonable standards approved by
GRC, including, without limitation, manufacture of the Product in
accordance with the Specifications described herein as to the packaging
designs, containers, dimensions, materials, and other specifications
approved, in writing, by GRC and Manufacturer. Manufacturer shall bear
full responsibility for product testing for standards and for quality
control to ensure the Products are exactly in conformance with GRC's
specifications.
4
[XXXXX - REDACTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
3.2 Quality Control. Manufacturer shall itself maintain, and shall
ensure that the "Approved Subcontractors" (as defined in Section 3.3
below) and any and all raw material suppliers maintain, a quality
control program designed to reasonably assure compliance with the
Specifications. Manufacturer is responsible for ensuring, and further
represents, warrants and covenants, that all Product is and shall be
manufactured, stored, packaged, handled and shipped in compliance with
applicable federal, state and municipal laws, rules, regulations,
standards and orders, including, without limitation, the applicable
laws of the United States and China, including applicable labor laws
and the Applicable Laws. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to the extent Manufacturer exports materials out of the
United States to be used in the manufacturing of the Products,
Manufacturer shall be responsible for ensuring such exports comply with
all applicable export laws, including, without limitation, the United
States Export Administration Regulations. Manufacturer shall regularly
visit and inspect the facilities of the Approved Subcontractors, if
any, to assure compliance with this Agreement.
3.3 Subcontractors. The Product will be manufactured by
Manufacturer or its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries and those
subcontractors pre-approved by GRC (the "Approved Subcontractors"). GRC
provides conditional approval of Zhejiang Hengtai Machinery
Manufacturing Company Limited as an Approved Subcontractor; provided,
however, that GRC shall have the immediate right to revoke this
conditional approval following its audit and inspection of such
facility (it being acknowledged hereunder that GRC has not audited or
inspected the Zhejiang Hengtai Machinery Manufacturing Company as of
the execution of this Agreement) Manufacturer may not use any
subcontractor without first obtaining the written consent of GRC, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Manufacturer shall
terminate the services of any Approved Subcontractor upon GRC's prior
written notice that such subcontractor is not performing as required
under this Agreement (i.e., the Approved Subcontractor is not providing
quality products or services, etc.) unless the Approved Subcontractor
cures, to GRC's satisfaction, any material deficiency noted by GRC
within thirty (30) days of GRC's written notice to Manufacturer.
3.4 Inspection. GRC or its designee may from time to time inspect
Manufacturer's facilities (both domestic and international) upon five
(5) days prior notice and make recommendations concerning the
manufacture, material, workmanship, testing, and quality control for
the Product. Manufacturer shall give GRC or its designee reasonable
access to Manufacturer's facilities for these purposes. Such inspection
shall be based on a statistically significant sample of the Product
with a reasonable rate of rejection. GRC shall pay for the inspection.
However, in the event Manufacturer's facility or the Product materially
fails such inspection (or reasonable tests requested by GRC or its
designee), Manufacturer shall bear the reasonable expense of such
inspection and replacing Product proven or likely to be defective based
on the inspection. In addition, GRC shall have the right to request
specific tests to be performed by Manufacturer during the course of the
manufacture of the Product. Upon GRC `s request, Manufacturer shall
5
[XXXXX - REDACTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
send samples of the Product produced by Manufacturer to GRC or any
location designated by GRC.
3.5 Records. Manufacturer shall maintain an up-to-date file of
specifications for the Product supplied to GRC, including, but not
limited to, performance standards, dimensional information, and
material/physical specifications. Manufacturer may, at its option,
inspect all or randomly selected Product units prior to each shipment
in order to ensure their compliance with GRC specifications and
instructions and purchase order. Manufacturer shall have responsibility
for ensuring that the Product units are properly packed to reduce
potential damage caused by shipping.
3.6 Delays. Manufacturer will inform GRC immediately of any
occurrence, which will or is expected to result in any delay in ship
date or quantity as specified on the Purchase Order. Manufacturer shall
also notify GRC of all corrective action being taken to minimize the
effect of such occurrence.
3.7 Recalls or Seizures.
If any of the Product is the subject of a seizure by any
governmental agency or in the event any governmental agency requests or
suggests that any of the Products be recalled or withdrawn and GRC and
Manufacturer agree, or in the event GRC and Manufacturer shall deem
that such a recall is necessary or advisable, in each case as a result
of a Product failing to comply with the Product Specifications,
Applicable Laws (unless such violation of Applicable Laws is caused by
the Specifications) or any other provision of this Agreement, GRC will
be solely responsible for executing such recall at Manufacturer's
expense. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Manufacturer
shall indemnify and reimburse GRC for the following:
a. All costs and expenses of notifying the trade
and/or consumers of said recall or withdrawal to the
level acceptable to the regulatory agency;
b. All freight charges actually incurred by GRC, or
paid by GRC to its distributors, for retrieval of the

4. Prices; Payment.
4.1 Price. GRC shall pay Manufacturer for the Product at the
prices set forth on the attached Exhibit "A" (the "Price").
4.2 Adjustment in Price.
4.2.1 Price Increase. During the first four (4) months of this
Agreement, except as a result of the expiration of the
discount on the first 20,000 units as set forth on Exhibit
"A". Manufacturer shall not have the right to increase the per
unit price charged by Manufacturer for the Product .
Thereafter, Manufacturer shall have the right to increase the
Price if its actual, third party costs increase that results
in increased production costs; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Product prices increase by more than the sum
of (a) any increase in Manufacturer's actual out-of-pocket
cost of materials, including materials purchased from third
party Approved Subcontractors, and (b) any increase in
Manufacturer's labor costs, less any reductions in costs
Manufacturer may have generated by such date (e.g., economies
of scale, lower material costs, lower labor costs, etc.). If
there is a change in material third party costs of raw
materials, production, labor or purchasing (as applicable)
incurred by Manufacturer in connection with the fulfillment of
the purchase orders hereunder by more than ten percent (10%)
even after such other reductions, then the price for the
applicable Product shall be subject to renegotiation in order
to provide Manufacturer with a reasonable profit margin
thereon (and no greater than the profit margin Manufacturer
received prior to the out-of-pocket increases). As a condition
to causing any price increase, Manufacturer shall give GRC at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such
increases, along with the written justification thereof (i.e.,
evidence of increase in third party costs) and provide GRC
with a detailed schedule of Manufacturer's new pricing.
Subject to the terms herein, any increase in Price shall be
effective upon thirty (30) days written notice to GRC of such
change. Such change shall apply to any new orders made after
the effective date of the change. Any orders which were placed
for immediate delivery for quantities consistent with the 180
Day Forecast but remain unfilled in whole or in part at the
effective time of such change shall be delivered at the old
price. In addition to its rights to terminate this Agreement
as provided hereunder, GRC shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice if
Manufacturer makes a price change to the Product with which
GRC disagrees and/or renders it uneconomical for GRC to
continue to purchase the Product from Manufacturer.
4.2.2 Duty to Minimize Price Increases. Manufacturer will use
good faith efforts to minimize any Price increases by seeking
low cost suppliers, with due regard to quality and
reliability, and will cooperate with GRC in investigating and,
upon mutual agreement, utilizing any suppliers identified by
GRC.

SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
4.3 Payment Terms. Payment for Product delivered hereunder shall
be made by GRC, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for
the quantity of Products accepted by GRC as provided in Section 2.4.
The payment will be made as soon as practicable after GRC is deemed to
have accepted the Product, but in any event prior to the time the
shipment docks at it spot of destination. Any amounts not paid when due
shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate
allowed by law.
5. Development, Licensing and Ownership.
5.1 Product and Product Marks. As between Manufacturer and GRC,
GRC shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Product. GRC
shall sell the Product under its own trademarks, service marks, symbols
or trade names, if any ("GRC Marks"). Solely in connection with the
performance of this Agreement, GRC grants Manufacturer the right to
reproduce and print on the Product the GRC Marks as are designated by
GRC. Manufacturer agrees that it will not use the GRC Marks in
advertising or promotional materials or place the GRC Marks on goods or
otherwise without prior written consent of GRC. Manufacturer agrees
that it shall not sell or distribute, or assist any party other than
GRC to sell or distribute, in any manner whatsoever any goods marked or
designated with the GRC Marks, or any derivation thereof, except to
GRC, without obtaining GRC's prior written consent. In addition,
Manufacturer agrees that (i) both during and after the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, it shall not sell or distribute, or
assist any party to sell or distribute, in any manner whatsoever, the
Product (except to GRC as contemplated hereunder) and, (ii) during the
Term and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, , it shall not sell
or distribute, or assist any party to sell or distribute, in any manner
whatsoever any goods which are a "knock off" of the Product (i.e. goods
which are substantially identical to the Product in form, appearance
and/or function) regardless of where such products may be distributed
or sold, without GRC's prior written consent, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld. If Manufacturer sells, distributes or assists
any party to sell or distribute, in any manner whatsoever, the Product
and/or a "knock off" product in violation of this Section, then GRC
shall have (in addition to any of its other legal or equitable rights
and remedies) the right to (i) terminate its exclusivity and minimum
purchase obligations upon written notice to Manufacturer or (ii)
terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.2.
5.2 Patent Applications. Simultaneously with the execution of this
Agreement by Manufacturer, Manufacturer shall deliver to GRC
assignments of the Patent Applications reflecting that all Patent
Applications relating to the Product and filed by or on behalf of
Charles Ho's nominee or Manufacturer shall be fully assigned to
CroftCo. The form and content of said Assignments shall be pre-approved
by GRC. Neither Manufacturer nor Charles Ho's nominee makes any
representation or warranty that patents will be issued pursuant to the
Patent Applications. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
8
[XXXXX - REDACTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
successful, complete and timely transfer and assignment of the Patent
Applications as described herein is a condition precedent to this
Agreement
5.3 Capacity; Inventory.
5.3.1 Production. Manufacturer hereby represents that it has,
or can obtain through Approved Subcontractors, the ability to
manufacture the Product in quantities of up to two hundred
thousand (200,000) individual Product units per month (the
"Forecasted Maximum Monthly Volume"). Manufacturer further
agrees that in the event Manufacturer is unable to meet the
forecasted Maximum Monthly Volume when required by GRC as
reflected in the 180 Day Forecasts and Annual Forecasts, then
Manufacturer shall immediately notify GRC in writing of same
so that GRC may, if desired, secure additional manufacturing
assistance from third parties.
5.3.2 Repurchase Responsibility. GRC may change the
Specifications for the Packaging (if any) with at least thirty
(30) days prior notice to Manufacturer. GRC may change the
Specifications for the Product with at least thirty (30) days
prior notice to Manufacturer; provided that if such change in
Specifications will increase Manufacturer's costs (including
costs of raw materials, manufacturing or quality control) the
change will not be effective until the parties mutually agree
to appropriate adjustments to the purchase price of the
Product. Manufacturer shall promptly implement the requested
change(s) to the Specifications and GRC shall (i) reimburse
Manufacturer, within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice,
for the cost of any packaging materials or finished Product in
inventory that is rendered obsolete because of the change(s);
and (ii) pay any pre-approved increase in the cost of
production of the Product due to the change(s). In no event
shall GRC be responsible for purchasing any raw material,
components or other supplies which Manufacturer can use in the
ordinary course of its business or other products sold to
other companies.
5.3.3 Packaging Materials and Artwork. If Manufacturer is
responsible for the development of any Packaging, Manufacturer
shall maintain sufficient inventory of Packaging, as
applicable, to ensure continuity of service in accordance with
the GRC 180 Day Forecast. GRC shall have all rights and title
to art, plates, negatives or designs prepared for GRC by
Manufacturer or its printer, lithographer, or bag, box, or
carton manufacturer/vendor, and all artwork shall become the
possession of GRC upon notice of termination of this Agreement
by either party. GRC shall pay the Manufacturer for the cost
of preparing these materials, subject to GRC's prior written
approval of such costs. The designs, including texts, color
and sizes of Packaging shall be determined by GRC. The fee
payable by GRC for Manufacturer supplied artwork, if any, will
be mutually agreed upon based on Product usage commitments to
be determined by both parties.

[XXXXX - REDACTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
5.4 Right to Bid on Similar Machines. If during the Term hereof
GRC proposes to offer , via a United States based direct response
television campaign, a "stand alone" XXXXXX exercise machine similar in
form and function to the Product but which is not a Subsequent
Generation Product (a "Similar Machine"), GRC will so notify
Manufacturer and give Manufacturer the right to make a proposal to
manufacture the Similar Machine ("Bid Opportunity"), and Manufacturer
shall have fifteen (15) business days from the later of GRC's notice or
GRC supplying Manufacturer with requested information reasonably
necessary for it to make a proposal in which to respond to the Bid
Opportunity (and a failure to so respond shall be deemed to be
Manufacturer's notification to GRC that it does not intend to bid on
such proposal), provided, however, that (i) Manufacturer's right to
receive a Bid Opportunity shall be contingent upon Manufacturer's
execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, (ii) GRC shall have no
obligation to present a Bid Opportunity to Manufacturer if (a)
Manufacturer is in breach of this Agreement, (b) GRC is lawfully
precluded from seeking Manufacturer's bid by a Similar Machine's Rights
Holder or other interested party and/or (c) Manufacturer's manufacture
or supply of the proposed product would violate the rights of any third
party, as determined by GRC in its sole discretion. In addition,
notwithstanding anything hereinto the contrary, GRC shall not be deemed
in breach of this Agreement if it inadvertently fails to notify
Manufacturer of a Bid Opportunity.

event of a non-monetary breach which cannot reasonably be cured within
thirty days, that the breaching party commences within such thirty day

the cure is completed within forty-five (45) days. In the event of
termination of this Agreement due to Manufacturer's breach or by
Manufacturer pursuant to Section 6.1(ii), (a) GRC shall have the right,

termination, as adjusted to reflect (a) any increase in
Manufacturer's actual out-of-pocket cost of materials,
including materials purchased from third party Approved
Subcontractors, and (b) any increase in Manufacturer's labor
costs, and (ii) lead times may increase; provided that

either destroy all such defective Product and so certify in writing to
Manufacturer or return all such defective Product to Manufacturer at
Manufacturer's expense. If after analyzing any Products alleged by GRC
