appoints Brightstar, and Brightstar hereby accepts the appointment, as Sagem's

Exhibit 1 hereto (the "Products") for the carriers within the Territory with

[***] Denotes Confidential Treatment Requested
2.1.3 In the event any Carrier (or the mother company of such Carrier) advises
Sagem in writing that it will not buy a Product from Brightstar for any reason
other than price, then Sagem may directly sell the Product to the Carrier
provided that Sagem provides to Brightstar, the Carrier's written notice that it
will not purchase Product from Brightstar. If Sagem sells directly to such
carriers, Sagem shall be entitled to request Brightstar to perform logistics
tasks under reasonable conditions to be discussed on a case by case basis. The
quantities sold by Sagem shall be deducted from the Minimum Annual Purchase
Amount, as indicated in section 6.4.
2.1.4 If Sagem is requested, in the scope of a continent-wide (or world-wide)
promotion launched by a Carrier mother company, to sell directly at a given
price lower than the price agreed upon for the same type of product with
Brightstar, Sagem shall be entitled to do so, provided Sagem gives to Brightstar
the written document duly signed by the mother company of the carrier. The
quantities sold by Sagem shall be deducted from the Minimum Annual Purchase
Amount, as indicated in section 6.4.

certain France Telecom/Orange properties. Brightstar shall not advertise, resell
or solicit orders for Products outside the Territory. Sagem shall continue to
engage in the direct marketing of the Products to operators within the

$100.00 and $200.00, a margin of [***] percent ([***]%); and (iii) on

calendar month (i.e., credit memos exceed debit memos) or if the margins
generated from sales in the preceding month are less than those required
pursuant to this Section 6.3 (i.e., debit memos exceed credit memos) then Sagem
shall issue to Brightstar a credit note to be used by Brightstar to deduct from
future invoiced amounts.
