In exchange, CIRTRAN agreed to: (i) make a cash payment in the amount of $1,125,000, (ii) reduce its $2,350,000 allowed general unsecured claim in the Bankruptcy Action by $750,000, leaving Purchaser with an allowed general unsecured claim in the amount of $1,600,000, (iii) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, and (iv) obligation to pay Seller $3.00 per True Ceramic Pro flat iron unit (a “Unit”) sold by Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.4(b) of the Purchase Agreement.
 
B. CIRTRAN delayed making royalty payments and defaulted under its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. On March 9, 2007, ABS filed a first Complaint against CIRTRAN. Thereafter, a settlement was reached and CIRTRAN acknowledged that it owed ABS $130,000 in royalties as of the first quarter of 2007 and agreed to pay ABS weekly payments of $12,500. Based on said agreement, ABS dismissed the First Complaint.
 
C. After making several payments under the Purchase Agreement that resulted in ABS dismissing the first Complaint, CIRTRAN again and for the third time defaulted under the terms of the Purchase Agreement in December 2007. The third default caused ABS to file a second Complaint on May 29, 2008 in the action entitled Advanced Beauty Solutions, LLC v. CirTran Corporation, Adversary Case No. 1:08-ap-01363-GM (“Adversary Action”).
 
D. On September 8, 2008, the Bankruptcy Clerk entered CIRTRAN’s default in the Adversary Action. Between October 2008 and December 2008, counsel for ABS and for CIRTRAN discussed settlement. All communications concerning settlement ended in December 2008.
 
E. On February 24, 2009, ABS filed a Motion for Default Judgment seeking damages against CIRTRAN for the breach of the Purchase Agreement in the amount it was entitled to under the Purchase Agreement, which included $435,000 in minimum royalties as of June 2008 and additional royalties under a Profit Share Obligation until the maximum amount of $4.3 million was reached. In order to calculate the Profit Share Obligation, ABS retained an expert, Richard Nelson, CPA, CVA, to perform a net present value of the expected stream of royalties.
 
F. On March 17, 2009, judgment was entered in favor of ABS and against CIRTRAN in the amount of $1,808,233.20 in principal, $643.96 in interest, and $3,444.45 in costs (“Adversary Judgment”).
 
G. On or about July 17, 2009, CIRTRAN moved to set aside the Judgment. The Bankruptcy Court denied CIRTRAN’s motion to set aside the Judgment pursuant to an order entered on September 11, 2009. CIRTRAN then appealed the denial of CIRTRAN motion to set aside the judgment to the California Central District Court but then abandoned the appeal. On November 17, 2009 the District Court dismissed the appeal.

H. On March 17, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court issued a Turnover Order in favor of ABS ordering CIRTRAN to turn over to ABS its Stock and Membership Interest Certificates. On March 24, 2010, CIRTRAN filed a Motion for Reconsideration, claiming that the Turnover Order exceeded state law statutory authority and claiming that CIRTRAN no longer had possession of the stock certificates. On April 21, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Motion for Reconsideration in part and denied it in part, by modifying the Turnover Order to direct turnover of the stock certificates to a levy officer rather than to ABS, and denying the request to reconsider the granting of the Turnover Motion.
 
I. On June 15, 2010, ABS filed an Application for an Assignment Order and Charging Order and related requests to satisfy the Judgment. In the Application, ABS sought an assignment of the original copyrights, trademarks and patents that ABS sold to CIRTRAN. CIRTRAN opposed the application on June 23, 2010 claiming that YA Global Investment L.P. (“YA Global”) had perfected security interests in all CIRTRAN’s assets (the “Senior Liens”). On August 13, 2010, the Court granted the Assignment Application in part and denied it in part, and ordered the assignment of the original copyright registrations but not the assignment of CIRTRAN’s trademarks or patent rights (the “First Assignment Order”). The First Assignment Order also enjoined CIRTRAN from disposing of certain payments from each of its subsidiaries. On September 22, 2010, the Court entered a second Assignment Order (“Second Assignment Order”). In the Second Assignment Order the Bankruptcy Court assigned to ABS CIRTRAN’s interest in payments from all its named subsidiaries including CirTran Products, CirTran Beverage, and CirTran Products. On October 12, 2010, Iehab Hawatmeh, as representative of CirTran, CirTran Beverage, CirTran Media and CirTran Products was personally served with the Assignment Order.
 
J. On February 22, 2011, CIRTRAN filed a Motion to Declare the Adversary Judgment Fully Satisfied or to Alternatively to Recoup Mutual Debts (Adversary Action Docket Nos. 121-126) (the “Satisfaction Motion”). ABS opposed the Satisfaction Motion.
 
K. On or about March 3, 2011, ABS filed a Motion for issuance of an Order to Show Cause re: Contempt of CIRTRAN, CirTran Beverage, CirTran Products, CirTran Media and Iehab Hawatmeh. The motion sought civil penalties and damages resulting from the respective parties’ violation of the First and Second Assignment Orders based on certain bank records purportedly establishing that transfers of over $150,000 should have been turned over to ABS pursuant to the two assignment orders. The CirTran Parties and YA Global, CIRTRAN’s secured lender, opposed the Motion for an OSC re: Contempt.
 
L. On April 13, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an Order to Show Cause Re: Civil Contempt by CIRTRAN, CirTran Beverage, CirTran Products, CirTran Media and Iehab Hawatmeh (“OSC re: Contempt”) (Adversary Action docket No. 147). The Court calendared an evidentiary hearing on the OSC re: Contempt to July 8, 2011. The Bankruptcy Court has continued the OSC re: Contempt several times and it is currently calendared to October 27, 2011.

M. On April 28, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order denying CIRTRAN’s Satisfaction Motion and finding ABS to be the prevailing party on the motion.
 
N. Previously, on or about April 20, 2011, CIRTRAN appealed the Court’s tentative ruling denying CIRTRAN’s Satisfaction Motion initiating the matter entitled Advanced Beauty Solutions, LLC v. CirTran Corporation, in the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”) of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal, BAP No.: CC-11-1183 (the “BAP Appeal”). ABS and CIRTRAN have filed their respective appellate briefs and the BAP calendared a hearing on the BAP Appeal on November 16, 2011 at 9:00 a.m.
 
O. On or about May 13, 2011, ABS filed a Motion for Attorneys’ Fees as the prevailing party on the Satisfaction Motion. On July 11, 2011 the Bankruptcy Court granted the Motion for Attorneys’ Fees in part and awarded ABS $35,450.50 in attorneys’ fees incurred in ABS’s successful defense against CIRTRAN’s Satisfaction Motion (“Attorneys’ Fee Judgment,” together with the Adversary Judgment, are collectively referred to herein as the “Judgments”). On July 22, 2011, YA Global filed a Motion for Entry of an Order Clarifying and Staying Enforcement of the Court’s Attorney Fee Judgment. On August 29, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order on YA Global’s Motion ordering ABS’s counsel to deposit and hold any funds in its trust account which were provided by CIRTRAN in payment of the Attorney Fee Judgment, and to not disburse any such until December 1, 2011 or after. The August 29, 2011 order further set a due date of December 1, 2011 for YA Global to conduct a foreclosure sale of its secured collateral under its financing arrangements with CIRTRAN or ABS would be authorized to disburse the funds pursuant to its Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation, confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on November 7, 2006. The order further provided that if such foreclosure sale was completed, that YA Global would retain its rights to seek turnover of such funds from ABS under YA Global’s financing arrangements with CIRTRAN, and in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law.  By letter agreement dated October 18, 2011, the disposition of the Collateral scheduled for October 19, 2011, was continued, subject to agreed terms and conditions.  As of the date of this Agreement, YA Global has not sold the Collateral.
 
P. On or about September 21, 2011, CIRTRAN’s counsel David Tufts of Durham Jones & Pinegar applied to the Bankruptcy Court to withdraw from representation of CIRTRAN. On October 6, 2011 the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the withdrawal of CIRTRAN’s counsel.
 
Q. CIRTRAN has failed to make any voluntary payments on the Adversary Judgment and the Attorneys’ Fees Judgment. CIRTRAN acknowledges that ABS has not waived any of its rights with respect to enforcement of the Adversary Judgment and the Attorneys’ Fees Judgment, and that ABS has not extended, and has no duty to extend, the time for any payment under the respective Judgments.

R. The CirTran Parties have requested that ABS forbear from exercising its remedies under the Judgments. Although ABS is under no obligation to do so, ABS is willing to forbear from exercising such remedies for the period set forth herein, provided that the CirTran Parties comply with the terms hereof and that the conditions set forth herein are met within the time periods required in this Agreement.
 
S. On November 7, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court in the Bankruptcy Action entered an order confirming the Debtor’s first amended liquidating Chapter 11 plan “Confirmation Order.”  The Confirmation Order states in relevant part at Page 2, lines 12 through 16 as follows:
 
IT IS ORDERED that the right to litigate, resolve, and settle any claims of the Estate, including but not limited to, Avoidance Actions, Post-Confirmation Estate Claims and/or objections to claims against the Estate, whether or not the subject of litigation as of the Effective Date, shall be vested solely in the Reorganized Debtor as of the Effective Date, without the necessity of further Court order, and all such actions shall be deemed to be duly authorized.
 
The liquidating plan, a copy which is attached to the Confirmation Order, further provides in relevant part on page 30, line 18 of the plan as follow:
 
The right to enforce, litigate, collect, and settle, on behalf of the Estate (at the expense of the Estate), any and all Claims and causes of action which constitute property of the Estate including, but not limited to, any Avoidance Actions, whether or not such Claims or causes of action are the subject of litigation pending as of the Effective Date (collectively, the "Post Confirmation Estate Claims"), shall be vested solely in the Disbursing Agent as of the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent shall have the sale right to enforce, file, prosecute, collect, or settle, any Post-Confirmation Estate Claims.
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ABS and CirTran Parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1. Incorporation of Recitals. Each of the above Recitals is represented to be true and correct and deemed to be the agreement of ABS and the CirTran Parties.

ABS’s entry into this Agreement, acceptance of interest or principal payments, negotiations with the CirTran Parties, or any creditor of CIRTRAN, obtaining an appraisal or conducting other analysis or investigation of the collateral for the Agreement, or any other action or failure to act on the part of ABS shall not constitute a renewal, extension or modification of the Adversary Judgment and the Attorneys’ Fees Judgment or a waiver of ABS’s rights or remedies in connection thereto.
 
b.  
ABS acknowledges that CIRTRAN’s entry into this Agreement; payment of interest, principal, or other amounts; negotiations, communications, or course of dealing with ABS; or any other act or failure to act of CIRTRAN shall not constitute a renewal, extension, or modification of the Judgments or a waiver of CIRTRAN’s rights in connection therewith.

Forbearance Agreement ABS (Final).doc  7  
 
 
 

 
a.  
CIRTRAN will pay ABS, in full satisfaction of the Adversary Judgment and the Attorneys’ Fees Judgment, a total principal amount of One Million Eight Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($1,810,000.00) (the “Settlement Amount”) ($1,835,000 less the $25,000 paid at closing), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) below. CIRTRAN, CirTran Beverage, CirTran Products, and CirTran Media shall only be jointly and severally liable to pay ABS the first $150,840 of the Settlement Amount in resolution of the pending OSC re: contempt for the transfer $150,840 in violation of the Court’s order; only CIRTRAN shall be liable to pay ABS the amounts in excess of $150,840.  The Settlement Amount shall be payable as follows: (i) CIRTRAN and, to the extent of the initial $150,840, CirTran Beverage, CirTran Products, and CirTran Media shall pay ABS $7,500 per month for 46 consecutive months, commencing on March 29, 2012, and continuing on the last day of each month until January 30, 2016, except that in December 2012 CirTran shall pay $15,000 rather than $7,500, and (ii) thereafter, the entire unpaid balance of the Settlement Amount, as finally determined as provided below, shall be due and payable on January 30, 2016.  If any payment date falls on a weekend or legal holiday in the State of California, the payment will be due on the next succeeding business day.
 
b.  
During the Forbearance Period, interest on the Settlement Amount will not accrue if all payments provided herein are timely made. If the CirTran Parties default on their payment obligation under this  Agreement, default interest at the rate of 10% per annum will immediately accrue, which will be calculated from the Effective Date.
 
c.  
The Settlement Amount due under this Agreement shall be reduced by (a) the greater of (i) the amount of credit granted by either the BAP or the Bankruptcy Court to CIRTRAN for the value of the intellectual property previously conveyed to ABS and to be conveyed pursuant to Exhibit C; and (ii) the amount received by ABS for sale of such intellectual property to a third party during the term of this Agreement, whether in a single or series of transactions, provided that if ABS sells less than all of such intellectual property, the value of the portion retained shall be determined by agreement of the parties or, in the absence of agreement, by the Bankruptcy Court; and (b) any distribution to which CIRTRAN would be entitled as a creditor of ABS but for the assignment by CIRTRAN of such creditor claim by the execution and delivery of the Claim Assignment Agreement in the form of Exhibit D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Settlement Amount shall never be reduced below $90,000, which shall be payable to ABS during the first 12 months under this Agreement pursuant to Section 4(a) above. Any principal reduction resulting from (a) or (b) above will be applied to the final payment due on January 30, 2016 first, followed by the application to all other payments due under this Agreement in reverse order of maturity.

d.  
The BAP Appeal shall continue to determine, either in such appeal or on remand as the BAP may determine, the amount of credit due CIRTRAN for the conveyance of the copyright intellectual property prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement at issue in the Satisfaction Motion and the amount of credit due CIRTRAN for the conveyance of the trademark intellectual property on the Effective Date of this Agreement. The Parties will agree that the determination of any issue decided by the BAP will be conclusive, and no appeal may be had from such ruling. If the BAP fails to determine the value of the copyrights assigned to ABS or remand the issue to the Bankruptcy Court, the Parties will agree to submit to a judicial determination of the value of all the intellectual property transferred from CIRTRAN to ABS before the Bankruptcy Court. The determination by the Bankruptcy Court of the fair market value of the intellectual property on the date of transfer will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and no appeal to such determination will be allowed. Any attorney fees awarded by the court in the BAP Appeal to CirTran shall be added to increase the amount determined by the court to be credited against the Adversary Judgment. Any such fees awarded by the court in the BAP Appeal to ABS shall be added to the balance payable under this Agreement at maturity.
 
e.  
Except for the BAP Appeal and the judicial determination of the fair market value of the intellectual property assets transferred by CIRTRAN to ABS, all litigation and disputes between ABS and its affiliates on the one hand and CIRTRAN and its affiliates on the other, including the pending OSC Re: Contempt proceeding against the CirTran Parties and all other claims, known or unknown and whether or not previously asserted, shall be dismissed, and the foregoing parties have exchanged mutual general releases herein, excepting only obligations arising under the Agreement and the related Pledge and Security Agreement, Assignment Agreement and the BAP Appeal, including any additional attorney fees incurred in prosecuting the BAP Appeal as further provided below.  ABS shall cause the dismissal of the OSC re: Contempt within thirty (30) days following execution of the Agreement.
 
f.  
If the CirTran Parties are in payment default of their payment obligations to ABS under this Agreement, and if YA Global sells, assigns, conveys, or otherwise transfers its Senior Liens to the CirTran Parties, or to any party directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the CirTran Parties, or which is acquiring the Senior Liens in active participation with the CirTran Parties, without requiring such party to first cure the payment defaults under this Agreement, then ABS shall have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately terminate the standstill and/or forbearance provisions set forth in Section 1 of the YA Subordination Agreement and Section 4 of this Agreement and ABS shall be entitled to take all appropriate action to accelerate, demand, collect, or enforce payment of the Settlement Amount, the Adversary Judgment and the Attorney Fee Judgment.  The termination of the standstill/forbearance provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement and Section 1 of the YA Subordination Agreement shall not affect, modify, or alter the other provisions of this Agreement or the YA Subordination Agreement, including, without limitation, the priority of the YA Senior Liens over the Junior Liens and YA Global’s rights in connection with the same, all as set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, an assignment of all or part of the YA Global Senior Liens shall not give ABS any right to terminate the standstill/forbearance provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement and Section 1 of the YA Subordination Agreement, and such provisions will remain in full force and effect, if such assignment is (a) to a subsidiary or affiliate of YA Global or an existing investor in YA Global (determined as of the date hereof), (b) to any party other than the CirTran Parties, or a party directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the CirTran Parties, or who is acquiring the Senior Liens in active participation with the CirTran Parties, or (c) made at a time when there is then no existing payment default under this Agreement.

5. Bankruptcy Court Approval; Perfection of ABS Security Interest.  Promptly following receipt of the executed Pledge Agreement, ABS shall be free to file in the appropriate public office a financing statement perfecting its security interest under the Security Agreement.  ABS represents and warrants that it has the right to litigate, resolve, and settle any claims of its bankruptcy Estate, including but not limited to, Post-Confirmation Estate Claims; and that such claims are vested solely in it as of November 6, 2007, without the necessity of further Court order, and that its settlement with CirTran as set forth in this Agreement is duly authorized.  It is expressly understood that if Bankruptcy Court approval of this Agreement becomes manifest or is manifest, that (1) ABS shall seek approval of this Agreement in the Bankruptcy Court and provide notice to CirTran of the grounds for the requirement for bankruptcy approval, and (2) this Agreement, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Trademark Agreement, the Claim Assignment Agreement, and the Stipulation for Judgment shall become void only upon the failure by ABS to receive Bankruptcy Court approval of the Agreement within forty-five days after written notice of the grounds for the requirement of Bankruptcy Court approval is provided to ABS by either CirTran or YA Global or YA Global’s assignee.
 
6. CirTran Parties Covenants. During the Forbearance Period, the CirTran Parties will do all of the following:
 
a.  
make timely payments to ABS for all amounts due pursuant to this Agreement to the extent of their obligations as set forth in section 4.a.; and

Forbearance Agreement ABS (Final).doc  10  
 
 
 

 
7. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events of default (an “Event of Default”) shall be an Event of Default and, if the CirTran Parties do not cure the Event of Default within ten (10) days after issuance of a written notice pursuant to Section 10 k of this Agreement by ABS or its authorized agent that the default be cured, at the option of ABS, ABS shall terminate the forbearance and make all obligations of the CirTran Parties immediately due and payable, all without further demand, presentment or notice, all of which requirements the CirTran Parties hereby waives:
 
a.  
any failure to make a timely payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or
 
b.  
any failure by the CirTran parties to perform or satisfy any of the covenants and conditions of the Agreement or the failure by the CirTran Parties to perform any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement.
 
8. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an uncured Event of Default and at all times thereafter, ABS, without the necessity of obtaining any prior approval of any court, shall be entitled to exercise in respect of any collateral it may hold all rights and remedies of a secured creditor available to it under applicable laws, and ABS shall also be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to ABS as a creditor generally, including without limitation all remedies available to ABS under the Adversary Judgment and Attorneys’ Fee Judgment, as well as rights and remedies available to ABS at law or in equity, all subject to the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Subordination Agreement. All such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of ABS in exercising any power, right or remedy under the Adversary Judgment and Attorneys Fee Judgment shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

B.           CirTran delayed making royalty payments and defaulted under its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.  On March 9, 2007, ABS filed a First Complaint against CirTran.  Thereafter, a settlement was reached and CirTran acknowledged that it owed ABS $130,000 in royalties as of the first quarter of 2007 and agreed to pay ABS weekly payments of $12,500.  Based on said agreement, ABS dismissed the First Complaint.
 
C.           On September 8, 2008, the Bankruptcy Clerk entered CirTran’s default in the Adversary Action.
 
D.           On March 17, 2009, judgment was entered in favor of ABS and against CirTran in the amount of $1,808,233.20 in principal, $643.96 in interest, and $3,444.45 in costs.
 
E.           On March 17, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court issued a Turnover Order in favor of ABS ordering CirTran to turn over to ABS its Stock and Membership Interest Certificates.  On March 24, 2010, CirTran filed a Motion for Reconsideration, claiming that the Turnover Order exceeded state law statutory authority and claiming that CirTran no longer had possession of the stock certificates.  On April 21, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Motion for Reconsideration in part and denied it in part, by modifying the Turnover Order to direct turnover of the stock certificates to a levy officer rather than to ABS, and denying the request to reconsider the granting of the Turnover Motion.
 
I.           On August 13, 2010, the Court granted the Assignment Application in part and denied it in part, and ordered the assignment of the original copyright registrations but not the assignment of CirTran trademarks or patent rights (the “First Assignment Order”).  The First Assignment Order also enjoined CirTran from disposing of certain payments from each of its subsidiaries.
 
J.           On September 22, 2010, the Court entered a second Assignment Order (“Second Assignment Order”).  In the Second Assignment Order the Bankruptcy Court assigned to ABS CirTran’s interest in payments from all its named subsidiaries including CirTran Products, CirTran Beverage, and CirTran Products.  On October 12, 2010, Iehab Hawatmeh, as representative of CirTran, CirTran Beverage, CirTran Media and CirTran Products was personally served with the Assignment Order.

L.           On or about May 13, 2011, ABS filed a Motion for Attorneys’ Fees as the prevailing party on the Satisfaction Motion.  On July 11, 2011 the Bankruptcy Court granted the Motion for Attorneys’ Fees in part and awarded ABS $35,450.50 in attorneys’ fees incurred in ABS’s successful defense against CirTran’s Satisfaction Motion (“Attorneys’ Fee Judgment”).  On July 22, 2011, YA Global filed a Motion for Entry of an Order Clarifying and Staying Enforcement of the Court’s Attorney Fee Judgment.  On August 29, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order on YA Global’s Motion ordering ABS’s counsel to deposit and hold any funds in its trust account which were provided by CirTran in payment of the Attorney Fee Judgment, and to not disburse any such until December 1, 2011 or after.  The August 29, 2011 order further set a due date of December 1, 2011 for YA Global to conduct a foreclosure sale of its secured collateral under its financing arrangements with CirTran or ABS would be authorized to disburse the funds pursuant to its Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation, confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on November 7, 2006.  The order further provided that if such foreclosure sale was completed, that YA Global would retain its rights to seek turnover of such funds from ABS under YA Global’s financing arrangements with CirTran, and in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law.
 
O.           The Parties have entered into a Forbearance Agreement dated February 1, 2012, wherein ABS agreed to forbear from exercising its remedies under the Judgments.  ABS is willing to forbear from exercising such remedies for the period set forth herein, provided that the CirTran Parties comply with the terms of that Forbearance Agreement and that the conditions set forth therein are met within the time periods required in that Agreement.

This SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of March 1, 2012, by and between YA GLOBAL INVESTMENTS, L.P., a Cayman Island exempt limited partnership (“YA Global”), and ADVANCED BEAUTY SOLUTIONS, LLC, a California limited liability company (“ABS”, and together with YA Global, collectively, the “Creditors”).
 
WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Documents (as defined in the YA Global Forbearance Agreement), YA Global is the holder of security interests in and to, and liens upon, all assets of the Obligors (collectively, the “Senior Liens”);

WHEREAS, ABS has entered into a certain Forbearance Agreement of even date herewith (the “ABS Forbearance Agreement”) with the Borrower and, for the limited and express purposes set forth in the ABS Forbearance Agreement, CirTran Beverage Corp., CirTran Media Corp., CirTran Products Corp., and Iehab Hawatmeh;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement (as defined in the ABS Forbearance Agreement), ABS is the holder of security interests in and to, and liens upon, all assets of the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Liens”);

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to YA Global’s agreement to forbear under the YA Global Forbearance Agreement that ABS enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to ABS’s agreement to forbear under the ABS Forbearance Agreement that YA Global enter into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Creditors desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth their respective understanding with respect to priority of their respective security interests and liens.

Subordination Agreement ABS.doc  E-1  
 
 
 

 

 
1. Any and all obligations and liabilities of the Obligors to ABS, including, without limitation, those more particularly described in the ABS Forbearance Agreement (collectively, the “Subordinated Indebtedness”), shall be and hereby are subordinated and the payment thereof is deferred until the full, final, and indefeasible payment in good and collected funds of the Obligations (as defined in the YA Global Forbearance Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined in the YA Global Forbearance Agreement), ABS shall be entitled to receive the regularly scheduled payments set forth in the ABS Forbearance Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) free and clear of YA Global’s senior lien but subject to paragraph 11 herein.  From and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, ABS agrees that no payments may be received from the Obligors with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness unless such Termination Event is cured, or waived by YA Global in writing, or the Obligations are fully, finally, and indefeasibly paid.  Any payments or proceeds received by ABS with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness after the occurrence of a Termination Event or in excess of the amounts expressly permitted pursuant to this paragraph, shall be held by ABS in trust for the benefit of YA Global and ABS agrees to promptly forward all such funds to YA Global in the same form received from the Obligors and with all necessary endorsements thereon.  Unless and until the Obligations are fully, finally, and indefeasibly paid, ABS agrees it will not take any action of any kind to accelerate, collect, demand, or enforce payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

2. Notwithstanding the order of creation, attachment, perfection, or the ordering of the filing of any financing statements, continuation statements, or other instruments to reflect or evidence the Senior Liens and the Junior Liens, the Senior Liens shall, in any event, be senior to the Junior Liens and any other interest granted to, or created in favor of, ABS with respect to the assets of the Obligors to secure the Subordinated Indebtedness.

3. Upon the occurrence and during the existence of any Termination Event, or in the event of commencement of secured party sale, foreclosure, or comparable proceedings in connection therewith, YA Global and ABS hereby agree that:

a. YA Global shall have the exclusive right to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Obligors as provided in the Financing Documents and applicable law, and to foreclose on the Senior Liens in the manner deemed appropriate by YA Global.

b. ABS hereby expressly agrees that in the event of a sale or other disposition of any of the assets of the Obligors upon terms which YA Global shall determine to be commercially reasonable, ABS shall not interfere with, delay, or obstruct such sale or other disposition, and agrees to cooperate with YA Global, and to provide such consents and other documentation as YA Global may request in connection therewith.

c. Each of the parties agrees that during the term of this Agreement it will not exercise its rights to require any other party to marshal the assets of the Obligors.

4. ABS hereby agrees that YA Global shall have the authority and permission of ABS to release, discharge, or dissolve the Junior Liens to the extent necessary in connection with any secured party sale, foreclosure, or other disposition of all or part of the assets of the Obligor.

5. In the event (a) any voluntary or involuntary case or proceeding under any bankruptcy law with respect to a Obligor, (b) any other voluntary or involuntary insolvency, reorganization or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding with respect to a Obligor, or with respect to any of such Obligor’s assets, (c) any liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or winding up of a Obligor, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (d) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of assets and liabilities of a Obligor (each, an “Insolvency Proceeding”), is commenced by or against any of the Obligors:

a. ABS hereby agrees that it shall not, until the actual full, final, and indefeasible payment of the Obligations (irrespective of whether the Obligations are scheduled to be paid in full as part of an applicable insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding):

i. seek any relief from, or modification of, the automatic stay as provided in §362 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or seek or accept any form of “adequate protection” under any or all of §362, §363, or §364 of the Bankruptcy Code, except replacement liens and super-priority administrative expense claims for diminution of value (the “Priority Claims”), which liens and Priority Claims shall be subordinated to the Senior Liens and any similar Priority Claims granted to YA Global in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement;

ii. seek to appoint a trustee or examiner under §1104 of the Bankruptcy Code or to convert (or support any other person in converting) such case or proceeding under §1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case without the prior written consent of YA Global; provided that if YA Global seeks such aforementioned relief, ABS hereby irrevocably consents thereto and shall join in any such motion or application seeking such relief if requested by YA Global;

iii. oppose or object (or support any other person in opposing or objecting) to any “adequate protection” sought by or granted to YA Global;

iv. oppose or object (or support any other person in opposing or objecting) to the use of any assets of the Obligors constituting cash collateral by any of the Obligors, unless YA Global shall have opposed or objected to such use of such cash collateral;

v. oppose or object (or support any other person in opposing or objecting) to any financing obtained by an Obligor during any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law (as defined below), including any such financing obtained by an Obligor under §364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consisting of any arrangement for use of cash collateral held in respect of any of the Obligations or the obligations owed to ABS under §363 of Bankruptcy Code, in each case or any similar provision of any Bankruptcy Law (a “Post-Petition Financing”) provided by YA Global, provided, that such Post-Petition Financing is in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as are consistent with the Financing Documents and this Agreement (provided, further, that YA Global may charge an interest rate and such fees as are customary and commercially reasonable under such circumstances) and (A) with respect to each such Post-Petition Financing constituting a refinancing of the entire amount of the Obligations, liens securing such Post-Petition Financing shall be the Senior Liens and, therefore, the Junior Liens shall be junior and subordinate to such security interests and liens to the same extent as provided for herein, and (B) with respect to each such Post-Petition Financing which does not constitute a refinancing of all Obligations outstanding immediately prior to the commencement of Insolvency Proceeding, to the extent the security interests and liens securing the Obligations are subordinated to (or pari passu with) the security interests and liens securing such Post-Petition Financing, the Junior Liens shall be junior and subordinate to such security interests and liens securing such Post-Petition Financing and such Obligations, provided, however, that in connection with any such Post-Petition Financing, ABS shall have received as adequate protection of its interests a replacement lien in post-petition assets of any of the Obligors which shall be junior and subordinate to all security interests and liens granted to YA Global, whether pursuant to the Post-Petition Financing or otherwise with the same priorities afforded the security interests in and to, and liens upon, the assets of the Obligors granted to, or created in favor of, ABS pursuant to this Agreement;
 
 
Subordination Agreement ABS.doc  E-3  
 
 
 

 
 

 
vi. object (or support any other person in objecting) to (A) the amount of the Obligations allowed or permitted to be asserted under any Bankruptcy Law or (B) the extent to which the Obligations are deemed secured claims, including under §506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;

vii. oppose or object (or support any other person in opposing or objecting) to any protection provided to YA Global, including any form of adequate protection under §362, §363, or §364 of the Bankruptcy Code and the payment of amounts equal to interest and expenses allowed under §506(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code to YA Global; and

viii. ABS waives any claim in respect of the obligations owed to it by the Borrower it may now or hereafter have arising out the election of YA Global, in an Insolvency Proceeding, of the application of §1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

b. YA Global agrees not to oppose or object (or support any other person in opposing or objecting) to any “adequate protection” sought by or granted to ABS, provided that such “adequate protection” is junior and subordinate to all liens or other forms of “adequate protection” granted to YA Global and is subject to the same priorities afforded the security interests and liens granted to ABS pursuant to this Agreement.  YA Global shall not object (or support any other person in objecting) to (i) the amount of the obligations owed by the Borrower to ABS allowed or permitted to be asserted under any Bankruptcy Law, or (ii) the extent to which the obligations owed by the Borrower to ABS are deemed secured claims, including under §506(a) of Bankruptcy Code.

For the purposes of this Paragraph 5,“Bankruptcy Code” shall mean Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C §§ 101 etseq.), and “Bankruptcy Law” shall mean the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar federal, state, or foreign requirement of law for the relief of debtors or any arrangement, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, assignment for the benefit of creditors, any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of the Obligors, or any similar law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

6. If ABS shall receive any check, draft, or other payment or funds with respect to which it is named as payee, and such check, draft, or other payment or funds represents insurance proceeds of the assets of the Obligors, ABS shall hold the same in trust for YA Global and shall promptly deliver such check, draft, or other payment or funds to YA Global in the form received and with all necessary endorsements thereon.
 
 
Subordination Agreement ABS.doc  E-4  
 
 
 

 

7. YA Global agrees that upon execution of the ABS Forbearance Agreement (as such term is defined in the ABS Forbearance Agreement), YA Global (a) shall release its liens and security interests in and to the trademarks specifically listed on Exhibit “1” attached hereto and incorporate herein by reference, and (b) authorizes ABS to file a UCC-3 partial release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “2” in the appropriate filing office therefor.  ABS represents and warrants that it has the right to litigate, resolve, and settle any claims of its bankruptcy Estate, including but not limited to, Post-Confirmation Estate Claims; and that such claims are vested solely in it as of November 6, 2007, without the necessity of further Court order, and that its settlement with CirTran as set forth in this Agreement is duly authorized.  It is expressly understood that if Bankruptcy Court approval of this Agreement becomes manifest or is manifest, that (1) ABS shall seek approval of this Agreement in the Bankruptcy Court, and (2) this Agreement, the ABS Forbearance Agreement, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Trademark Agreement, the Claim Assignment Agreement, and the Stipulation for Judgment shall become void upon the failure by ABS to receive Bankruptcy Court approval of the Agreement within forty-five days after written notice of the grounds for the requirement of Bankruptcy Court approval is provided to ABS by either CirTran or YA Global or YA Global’s assignee.

8. Unless and until the Obligations are fully, finally, and indefeasibly paid, ABS agrees it will not, directly or indirectly, take any action to exercise or enforce any of its rights or remedies (including, without limitation, any rights under the Junior Lien) against, or to foreclose or otherwise realize on, any assets of the Obligors.

9. If, at any time after the full, final, and indefeasible payment of the Obligations, any payments made on account of the Obligations must be disgorged by YA Global for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of any one or more of the Obligors), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be automatically reinstated.

10. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

11. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.  The parties hereto further agree that any action between them shall be heard in Hudson County, New Jersey, and expressly consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court of New Jersey, sitting in Hudson County and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey sitting in Newark, New Jersey for the adjudication of any civil action asserted pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent YA Global from enforcing its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, by filing a civil action) with respect to the assets of the Obligors and/or the Obligors in any other jurisdiction in which the assets of the Obligors and/or the Obligors may be located.  THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
 
 
Subordination Agreement ABS.doc  E-5  
 
 
 

 

12. This Agreement expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersedes all prior discussions or negotiations hereon.  This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by YA Global and ABS.

13. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that YA Global agrees that if the Obligors are in default of their payment obligations under the ABS Forbearance Agreement and if YA Global sells, assigns, conveys, or otherwise transfers the Senior Liens to an Obligor, or to any party directly or indirectly owned or controlled by an Obligor, or which is acquiring the Senior Liens in active participation with an Obligor, without requiring such party to first cure the payment defaults under the ABS Forbearance Agreement, then ABS shall have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately terminate the standstill and/or forbearance provisions set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement and ABS shall be entitled to take all appropriate action to accelerate, demand, collect, or enforce payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness.  The termination of the standstill/forbearance provisions of Section 1 of this Agreement shall not affect, modify, or alter the other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the priority of the Senior Liens over the Junior Liens and YA Global’s rights in connection with the same, all as set forth in this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, an assignment of all or part of the Senior Liens shall not give ABS any right to terminate the standstill/forbearance provisions of Section 1 of this Agreement, and such provisions will remain in full force and effect, if such assignment is (a) to a subsidiary or affiliate of YA Global or an existing investor in YA Global (determined as of the date hereof), (b) to any party other than the Obligors, or a party directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Obligors, or who is acquiring the Senior Liens in active participation with the Obligors, or (c) made at a time when there is then no existing payment default under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.
