EXCLUSIVE MANUFACTURING, MARKETING
AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
THIS EXCLUSIVE MANUFACTURING, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (the
"Agreement") is made and entered into this 25th day of May, 2007 ("Effective
Date") by and between CIRTRAN BEVERAGE CORP., a Utah corporation ("CBC"), and
PLAY BEVERAGES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("PlayBev").
RECITALS
A. PlayBev is engaged in the business of marketing and distributing
beverages, including energy drinks and flavored water beverages, and related
merchandise with the Playboy and rabbit head logo (the "Products") pursuant to a
license agreement ("License Agreement") from Playboy Enterprises, Inc.
("Playboy").
B. CBC has been formed by CirTran Corporation, a Nevada corporation
("CirTran"), to arrange for the manufacture, marketing and distribution of the
Products through various distribution channels, including traditional retail
channels as well as catalogs, internet, live shopping and other channels.
C. PlayBev desires to grant to CBC the exclusive rights during the term
of this Agreement to manufacture, market, distribute and sell the Products
through all distribution channels (herein the "Purpose") in the United States.
D. The parties desire to set forth their agreements in writing.
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. Manufacturing.
(a) Subject to all of the terms and conditions of the License
Agreement, CBC shall be the exclusive master manufacturer for all Products for
PlayBev to be sold in the Territory, as defined below. If and to the extent that
CBC does not perform the actual manufacturing itself, CBC will select and
contract with vendors and subcontractors (a "Vendor") to manufacture the
Products as described below and will provide overall quality control, logistics,
management and administrative duties with respect to manufacturing as needed.
PlayBev will not cause or permit any Product not manufactured by or under the
supervision of CBC to be imported, sold or distributed in the Territory.
(b) The initial Products consist of an energy drink (tentatively called
"Playboy Pure Energy Drink") and flavored or unflavored water beverage
(tentatively called "Playboy Water" or "Playboy H2O") (the "Initial Products").
The parties have determined that Vendors will be required for the following
functions relating to the Initial Products: (i) identification of key regional
bottlers, (ii) finalization of Product formulation and production of sample /
prototype Initial Products, (iii) production of prototype Initial Product
packaging and bottling and conversion to production line packaging and bottling,
(iv) supply chain management, and (v) subcontractor to identify and coordinate
with Vendors under clauses (i) through (iv). PlayBev and, to the extent provided
in the License Agreement, Playboy, shall have the right to approve all of such
Vendors, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. PlayBev
may suggest entities or groups to serve as Vendor in any such capacity, and CBC
will consider such suggestions in good faith. CBC will contract directly with
the Vendors and on such pricing and payment terms as shall be negotiated
directly between CBC and the Vendors. If and when CBC determines in its
reasonable judgment that additional or different Vendors are required or
desirable, it shall engage such additional Vendors, subject in each case to
PlayBev's approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
CBC may engage its affiliates as Vendors, subject to the approval conditions
described herein.
(c) As additional Products are developed, the parties shall similarly
identify the Vendors which are required and CBC will engage the Vendors subject
to PlayBev's approval.
(d) CBC shall engage directly with all distributors (other than
CBC/ASM) and customers as the vendor of record and negotiate all payment terms
directly. As vendor of record, all payments for the Product will be made
directly to CBC. All pricing terms shall be approved by PlayBev in advance in
writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e) PlayBev will use its best efforts to have CBC and, to the extent
required, its Vendors approved as manufacturers under the Playboy license. If a
Vendor is required to be approved but Playboy does not approve the Vendor, CBC
will engage an alternative Vendor, subject to PlayBev's approval as set forth
above. If CBC is not approved by Playboy, then notwithstanding Sections 1 (a)
through (d) above, (i) the Vendors will contract directly with PlayBev, rather
than CBC, and CBC shall assign to PlayBev any then-existing contracts with the
Vendors, (ii) the roles of CBC and PlayBev in selecting and approving Vendors
described in Sections 1(b) and (c) shall be reversed, (iii) CBC shall remain as
the vendor of record to customers and distributors, and (iv) CBC shall supervise
the manufacturers and other Vendors approved by Playboy.
(f) CBC will be compensated for its services pursuant to this Section 1
as described in Section 3.
2. Distribution, Sales and Marketing.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, CBC
shall be the exclusive master distributor for PlayBev for all Products to be
sold in the Territory, as defined below. CBC shall engage American Sales and
Merchandising, LLC, a Maine limited liability company ("ASM"), as a
subcontractor to provide distribution and marketing plans in the Territory and
other services for distributing the Products, including, but not limited to, all
sales and marketing for all wholesale and retail sales, packaging, distribution
in the Territory, on-premise and off-premise distribution, product designs, and
merchandise displays. CBC will enter into a mutually agreed upon agreement
directly with ASM (the "ASM Agreement") upon execution of this Agreement with
respect to ASM's duties and responsibilities; provided that CBC and ASM are able
to negotiate terms of the ASM Agreement consistent with Section 3(c).
2
(b) During the term of this Agreement, PlayBev covenants and agrees
that neither it nor any other person deriving their rights from PlayBev (other
than CBC) shall manufacture, market, advertise, sell or distribute the Products
or any improvements or derivations thereof or any other product based on the
license from Playboy for any purpose that is competitive with the Purpose for
which CBC is contracting with PlayBev under this Agreement ("Restricted
Products") which are sold or distributed in the Territory.
(c) Within 30 days after the date of this Agreement, PlayBev will
provide CBC with a three month forecast of marketing expenditures for the
Products in the Territory. CBC will thereafter establish a budget, approved by
PlayBev, for the period covered by the forecast for CBC to provide all sales,
marketing and administrative support regarding the sales, marketing and
distribution activities. Such activities shall include, but not be limited to,
the creative development and maintenance of the website associated with the
Playboy Energy drink Product, printed material to be used in marketing and sales
to retailers, wholesalers, restaurants, bars and sponsored events and product
design (the "Programs"). Once the budget is approved by CBC and PlayBev, CBC
will fund the Programs to the extent of the budget based on the accomplishment
of predetermined milestones agreed to by CBC and PlayBev pursuant to a bridge
loan on terms mutually acceptable to CBC and PlayBev (the "Bridge Loan"). The
parties are not obligated to proceed with the Bridge Loan unless the parties are
able to agree upon the budget and the terms of the Bridge Loan. Within 30 days
prior to expiration of the period covered by the initial forecast, PlayBev will
prepare a forecast for the following three month period, which forecast shall
indicate to which the Programs can be funded from operations. The parties shall
negotiate the terms of a potential budget and Bridge Loan for such subsequent
period. This process shall continue for each subsequent three month period.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Bridge
Loan is paid in full pursuant to Section 6, CBC shall have no further obligation
to fund the Programs or make further advances under the Bridge Loan.
(d) Within 90 days after the date of this Agreement, PlayBev will
provide CBC with a 90 day forecast of sales of the Products in the Territory.
Thereafter, every month PlayBev will provide CBC with a forecast of sales for
the last 60 days of the period covered by the period forecast and an additional
30 days. The parties will discuss in good faith any disagreements that CBC has
with the forecast. CBC will rely on the forecast to schedule manufacturing and
distribution resources.
(e) PlayBev may engage CBC as its media placement agency to place all
advertising in print, web, television, radio and other promotional outlets on
terms to be agreed to by the parties pursuant to a media placement agreement
agreed to by CBC and PlayBev (the "Media Placement Agreement").
3. Compensation; Calculation and Payment of Royalties. PlayBev shall
compensate CBC as follows:
(a) For its services rendered pursuant to Section 1(a) of this
Agreement, CBC shall receive from PlayBev an amount equal to 20% of the cost of
goods sold ("COGS"). "COGS" includes all actual and verifiable third party
costs, including the actual cost of Product payable to the manufacturer and
other costs that generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,
3
require CBC to classify as costs of goods sold as well as, without duplication,
the charges of all Vendors.
(b) If CBC is providing services to PlayBev pursuant to Section 1(e)
rather than Section 1(a), then CBC shall receive from PlayBev and amount equal
to 20% of COGS for its supervision under Section 1(e). "COGS" includes all third
party costs, including the actual cost of Product payable to the manufacturer
and other costs that generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied, require PlayBev to classify as costs of goods sold as well as, without
duplication, the charges of all Vendors.
(c) For its services rendered pursuant to Section 2(a) of this
Agreement, CBC shall receive from PlayBev 6% of the gross sales ("Gross Sales")
of all Products in the Territory. CBC, in its agreement with ASM, will pay 2/3
of such 6% or 4% of Gross Sales to ASM in accordance with the terms of the ASM
Agreement. "Gross Sales" includes gross sales of the Products but does not
include separately stated charges for shipping, handling, insurance or taxes and
are net of any returns, markdowns, charge backs, credit card discounts, rebates,
refunds and similar charges. [Gross Sales shall be calculated on a cash basis so
that payment is due only when payment is received for the Products.]
Notwithstanding the above, if CBC is unable to obtain ASM agreement to the ASM
Agreement on the terms outlined above, CBC will so notify PlayBev and PlayBev
will, at its option, either cause ASM to agree to the terms outlined above or
PlayBev will agree to modify this Section 3(c) to conform to the terms agreed to
by ASM (i.e. to pay CBC 150% of the amount CBC is required to pay to ASM).
(d) For its services rendered pursuant to Section 2(c), PlayBev shall
reimburse CBC for the cost of the Programs funded under the Bridge Loan, plus 5%
of such Programs cost, pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Loan.
(e) For its services rendered pursuant to Section 2(e), PlayBev shall
reimburse CBC for media placement and other services provided by CBC under
Section 2(e), plus 5% of the media placement costs, pursuant to the terms of the
Media Placement Agreement.
(f) From the Gross Sales of Product collected by CBC, CBC will pay on
PlayBev's behalf the royalty payable to Playboy under the Playboy license which
is calculated on the basis of a percentage of gross sales. PlayBev shall remain
solely responsible for payment of (i) any minimum or other royalties or payments
due under the Playboy license which are not calculated as a percentage of sales,
and (ii) any percentage royalties due on sales outside of the Territory, and
(iii) percentage royalties due on sales within the Territory if collected Gross
Sales are insufficient to pay the same.
(g) For purposes of determining the payments due under this Section 3,
CBC will give PlayBev a quarterly report of Gross Sales and COGS. The quarterly
reports ("Monthly Reports") will be given by 45th day of each calendar quarter
reporting Gross Sales and COGS for the prior completed calendar quarter, as well
as royalties and compensation paid during such completed quarter. From Gross
Sales collected by CBC, CBC will pay on a monthly basis the Vendors, the Playboy
royalty described in Section 3(f) and will pay itself compensation due under
Sections 3(a) through (e). Any remaining amount of Gross Sales after such
payments shall be remitted to PlayBev within five business days after the date
of the Quarterly Report.
4
4. Territory. As used herein, the "Territory" consists of the United
States of America including its territories, possessions and protectorates.
5. Sales Below Break-even. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event that the volume-weighted average price at which CBC is
able to sell the Products hereunder is less than 150% of COGS, CBC's obligation
to perform services hereunder or to provide funding under the Bridge Loan or
Media Placement Agreement shall be suspended until PlayBev makes other
arrangements acceptable to CBC for the payment of costs and compensation or
until CBC is able to obtain an average price for the Products above 150% of
COGS.
6. Pre-Payment on Sale of International Territories. In the event that
PlayBev (i) licenses a third party to manufacture or distribute the Products
outside of the Territory, (ii) otherwise sublicenses PlayBev's rights under the
Playboy license for areas outside of the Territory, or (iii) sells or assigns
PlayBev's interest in the Playboy license, subject to this Agreement, whether or
not as part of a sale of all or substantially all of PlayBev's assets, then
PlayBev agrees that all proceeds from such transaction shall be applied as
follows: FIRST to the payment of any past due amounts owed to CBC pursuant to
this Agreement, the Bridge Loan or the Media Placement Agreement, SECOND to the
prepayment of amounts owing to CBC under the Bridge Loan, and THIRD any
remaining balance as PlayBev may determine in its sole discretion.
7. Term and Termination.
(a) The initial term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date
first written above and shall terminate on December 31, 2010 (the "Initial
Term"). This Agreement shall automatically renew for up to two renewal terms of
three years each unless PlayBev notifies CBC or CBC notifies PlayBev in writing
of its intent not to renew at least three, but not more than 12, months prior to
the termination of the initial term or the then-current renewal term.
(b) At least three months prior to the end of the Initial Term, PlayBev
may notify CBC that it intends to renegotiate, price or source alternative
manufacturing, distribution or other services as provided in Sections 1 and 2
from a person other than CBC. In such event, PlayBev and CBC agree that any new
proposals from third parties will be based on experience, resources, pricing,
credit, term and capabilities. CBC shall have a right of first refusal to match
any bona fide bid accepted by PlayBev, in which case this Agreement shall be
renewed on such third party terms. In the event PlayBev does not renew this
Agreement with CBC after the Initial Term such that CBC is no longer the
exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the Products in the Territory, as a
condition to entering an agreement with a third party and as part of the terms
thereof, CBC shall receive payment in full for all monies owed it by PlayBev,
including but not limited to receivables, reimbursement for Products purchased,
direct sales, general and administrative expenses, plus a withdrawal fee equal
to 15% of such amounts.
(c) Either CBC or PlayBev may terminate this Agreement on 60 days prior
written notice to the other party based on a material breach of this Agreement
by the non-terminating party, unless such breach is cured within such 60-day
period or, in the event of a non-monetary breach which cannot reasonably be
cured within 60 days, that the breaching party commences within such 60-day
period steps calculated to cure the breach as soon as practicable and the cure
is completed within 90 days.
5
8. Non-Competition. During the term of this Agreement, both parties agree
that they will not sell or distribute in the Territory the Product or any
