AMENDMENT NO. 2
TO
EXCLUSIVE MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO EXCLUSIVE MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT (the
"Amendment") is made and entered into this 7th day of July, 2005 by and between
CIRTRAN CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation ("CTC") and ADVANCED BEAUTY SOLUTIONS,
LLC a California limited liability company ("Client").
RECITALS
A. CTC and Client have entered into an Exclusive Manufacturing
Agreement dated January 18, 2005, as amended on _________, 2005 (the
"Agreement"), pursuant to which CTC has agreed to be Client's exclusive
manufacturer for Client's personal hair care product entitled "True Ceramic Pro
- Flat Iron Traveling Kit" which features the True Ceramic Pro - Infra Red Ionic
Styler (the "Product").
B. Client has also designed personal hair care products known as
the TCP Home Bio-Ionic Blow Dryer Kit (the "Home Dryer") and the TCP Travel
Bio-Ionic Blow Dryer Kit (the "Travel Dryer" or, together with the Home Dryer,
the "Additional Products").
C. Client desires that CTC be its exclusive manufacturer for the
Additional Products and CTC is willing to do so, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
D. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning set forth in the Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Purchase Commitment. A new paragraph is hereby added at the
end of Section 1 of the Agreement as follows:
"Execution of the Amendment to this Agreement will act as Client's
expression of intent to purchase up to 500,000 units of the Home Dryer and
500,000 units of the Travel Dryer on the terms and condition set forth herein;
provided, there are no minimum purchase requirements for such Additional
Products except as provided in Section 12 of this Amendment. Delivery of the
Additional Products will occur pursuant to Client's scheduling forecast and
release orders as further detailed on Schedule B attached hereto (as updated
from time to time, the "Forecast"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, time is of the essence and CTC hereby agrees and acknowledges
that all Additional Products shall be shipped to Client within forty-five (45)
days of the date each purchase order is accepted by CTC. Client may use its
standard purchase order form to schedule specific delivery dates consistent with
the scheduling forecast (a "release order"), to accelerate deliveries described
in the forecast, to specify delivery addresses or other notices provided for
hereunder. The parties agree, however, that the standard purchase order forms
shall only be used for the purposes described in the previous sentence, and any
terms in the purchase order form or other documentation sent by Client to CTC
which are in addition to or inconsistent with this Agreement are expressly
rejected and shall not form part of the contract between CTC and Client. All
release orders must allow for sufficient time for surface shipping and
scheduling. Such release orders which request accelerated or additional
deliveries will normally be deemed accepted by CTC, provided however that CTC
may reject, in its reasonable discretion, any order that does not conform to the
lead-time, flexibility or cancellation terms of this Agreement. CTC shall notify
Client of rejection of any release orders within three (3) working days of
receipt of such order."
2. Basic Manufacturing Agreement. References in Section 2 of the
Agreement to the Product also include the Additional Products.
3. Exclusivity. References in Section 3(a) of the Agreement to
the TCP Flat Iron also include the Home Dryer and Travel Dryer. The following is
hereby added to the end of the first sentence of Section 3(b) of the Agreement:
"or blow dryers that are identical to the Home Dryer or the Travel
Dryer."
4. Sample Product. A new paragraph is added at the end of Section
4 of the Agreement as follows:
"CTC agrees to produce an initial run of machine assembled samples of
the Additional Products and their packaging (the "Additional Product Samples")
for Client to inspect. Client shall promptly inspect the Additional Product
Samples and determine whether issues with respect to functionality, performance,
fit and finish of the Additional Product Samples have been resolved by CTC and
authorize the manufacture of the Additional Products. Client will use its
reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate with CTC and will not unreasonably
withhold or delay such authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CTC does
not provide Client with Additional Product Samples that are satisfactory to
Client within forty-five (45) days of the date hereof, Client may terminate this
Agreement as to the Additional Products. The parties acknowledge that CTC may
not commence manufacture until the Additional Product Samples have been
approved, and that initial delivery dates may therefore be deferred by CTC to
allow time for Additional Product Samples approval, ramp-up of the factory and
surface shipping to Port of Los Angeles."

5, references to the Product in the remainder of Section 5 of the Agreement
shall also include the Additional Products.

a total of 300,000 units of Additional Product, CTC will not use the
molds, CAD files and designs to make products for any person other than

least a total of 300,000 units of Additional Product, CTC may
thereafter use the molds, CAD files and designs to make products for

and 500,000 units of both Additional Products by prior written notice
if all of the following conditions apply:
(i) All invoices for Product and Additional Products and
payment for Product and Additional Products subject to
non-cancelable orders and the minimum purchase obligation have
been paid in full (whether or not then due) and Client is not
in default under this Agreement.
(ii) Client, through a senior executive officer, certifies
to CTC in writing that (1) Client is no longer advertising or
promoting any of the Product or Additional Products and has no
plans to advertise or promote the Product or Additional
Products or any substantially similar product, (2) continued
sale of the Product or the Additional Products is no longer
profitable to Client, (3) other than sales of existing
inventory of the Product or Additional Product purchased from
CTC, Client has no plans or intentions to manufacture,
distribute or sell the Product or Additional Products or any
substantially similar product, and (4) Client is aware of
agrees to abide by its exclusivity provisions as set forth in
Section 3 above.
(iii) Client submits to CTC at the time of Client's notice

of units of Product equal to the lesser of (x) 100,000 or (y)
three times the average monthly number of units of Product
purchased during the term preceding Client's notice of
termination.
(iv) The invoice(s) for the Product and Additional
Products purchased in the Final Release shall be paid by
Client in accordance with Section 10. The provisions of this
Agreement requiring forecasts (Section 7) and minimum
purchases shall be suspended pending payment of the invoice(s)
for the Final Release. This Agreement shall terminate upon
payment when due of the invoice(s) for the Final Release;

13 of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
"CTC will incur substantial expense in anticipation of its performance
obligations under this agreement, and such expenses will not be recovered by it
if the Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the initial scheduled term.
The damages to be suffered by CTC upon early termination cannot readily be
calculated. The parties have agreed that if the Agreement is terminated during
the Initial Term by CTC due to Client's defaults pursuant to Section 12(b)(i) or
12(b)(ii), then Client shall pay CTC an early termination fee of (a) the
difference between 1,000,000 units and the number of units of Product paid for
by Client multiplied by $21.45. The parties agree that such early termination
fee is a reasonable estimate of CTC's damages and is intended as liquidated
damages, rather than a penalty.
Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not affect the
obligations of either party that exist as of the date of termination. Upon
termination of this Agreement due to CTC's default under Section 12(b)(i) or
12(b)(ii), Client shall be responsible to purchase all finished Products and
Additional Products subject to valid purchase orders."
13. Term, Termination. The terms and conditions of this Amendment
may be terminated by either party upon sixty (60) days prior written
noticeTermination of this Amendment for any reason or no reason whatsoever shall
not affect the obligations of either party that exist as of the date of
termination.

20 of the Agreement to the Product shall also include the Additional Products.
