THIS DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (THIS "AGREEMENT") IS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN

OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, HAVING A PLACE OF BUSINESS AT 600 NORTH U.S.
HIGHWAY 45, LIBERTYVILLE, ILLINOIS 60048-1286 (HEREINAFTER "MOTOROLA"),
AND BRIGHTSTAR US. INC., A CORPORATION DULY ORGANIZED AND EXISTING UNDER
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, HAVING ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
AT 625 FOREST EDGE DR. VERNON HILLS, IL 60061 (HEREINAFTER "DISTRIBUTOR"),
EFFECTIVE AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2003("EFFECTIVE DATE").
WHEREAS, Motorola manufactures cellular telephones and accessories
(hereinafter the "Products") and distributes them directly to its
customers and also through independent distributors;
WHEREAS, Motorola wishes to continue selling its Products directly, and
also through independent distributors to customers in the Untied States;
and
WHEREAS, Distributor wishes to be a distributor of the Motorola Products
in the United States.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT AS DISTRIBUTOR
a. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Motorola hereby appoints
Distributor, and Distributor hereby accepts the appointment, as an
authorized distributor of Motorola Products listed in Attachment I (the
Products"). FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTION 1 ONLY, "PRODUCTS" MEANS ONLY
HANDSETS AND NOT ACCESSORIES. Distributor's right to sell and distribute
Motorola Products shall be non-exclusive, except as provided in section
le. Distributor is authorized to purchase Products directly from Motorola
pursuant to purchase orders entered into in connection with this Agreement
and resell such Products solely within the United States (hereinafter the
"Territory"). Distributor acknowledges and agrees that Motorola reserves
the right to appoint other distributors within the Territory and that
Motorola may, at its sole and unrestricted discretion, chose to use other
agents, dealers, distributors, representatives and independent
contractors, as well as its regularly employed sales force and that of its
subsidiaries or affiliated companies, to promote the sale of Products
within the Territory. Distributor acknowledges and agrees that Motorola
reserves the right to restrict the distribution of specific models of
Products to specific areas and/or customers within the Territory and
Distributor agrees to limit its distribution of such models accordingly.
Upon ninety (90) days notice, Motorola will provide updated and revised
price lists to Distributor for the Products that Distributor is authorized
to sell.
b. For any End of Life Products ("EOL Products") that Motorola, in its sole
discretion, chooses not to sell via its online channels, Motorola will
offer Distributor the first right of refusal to purchase such EOL
Products. EOL Products are defined as products that have been announced as
discontinued to all channels and which a replacement product has launched
and is available for Distributor to purchase. If Motorola makes such an
offer to Distributor, Distributor Shall have [***] to bid upon such EOL
Products. If Distributor does not exercise its right to purchase the EOL
Products within [***] of Motorola making the offer, by offering at least
as much as [***] for the Products, Motorola may offer the EOL Products to
any other customer(s) or channel(s) of Motorola's sole choosing.

[***] Denotes Confidential Treatment Requested
c. Distributor may not purchase Motorola Products from any company, person,
or entity other than Motorola for Products that are currently shipping
from Motorola's inventory. An exception may exist, at Motorola's sole
discretion, for this provision if Distributor is able to provide
documentation to Motorola that the current price being charged by Motorola
to Distributor for any particular product is higher than is being offered
elsewhere in the marketplace. If Distributor is able to provide, such
documentation to Motorola's satisfaction, Motorola may either choose to
make an offer to Distributor ("Offer") to match the market price within
[***] or not. Such [***] premium will fund MDF programs for the
particular products. If Motorola makes a offer that is within [***] of
the market price, Distributor must purchase the relevant products from
Motorola. If Motorola chooses not to make an Offer that matches the market
price within [***], Distributor will be released from the requirement to
purchase the relevant product from Motorola for that particular purchase
only. In the course of making such Offer, Motorola may insist on any terms
and conditions necessary, including, but not limited to, specifically
excluding items such as price protection from the Offer.
d. Distributor acknowledges and agrees that Motorola reserves the right to
limit distribution of Motorola Products to distributors who satisfy
Motorola's requirements for distribution of Motorola Products. Distributor
hereby consents to the application of such criteria to its distribution of
Products purchased in connection with this Agreement.
e. Distributor shall have the right to sell Motorola Products to two classes
of accounts. Distributor shall be able to sell Motorola Products to
Assigned Accounts, a list of which are set out on Attachment 2 of this
Agreement, and may be modified from time to time. Assigned Accounts are
defined as accounts to which only Distributor is the exclusive provider of
Motorola Products under this Agreement. No other distributor shall have
the right to sell Motorola Products to the Assigned Accounts unless, as
set out below, any Assigned Account becomes a Pool Account. Pool Accounts
are defined as accounts to which Motorola Products may be sold by
Distributor, as well as other distributors. Pool Accounts shall include,
but are not limited to, [***], and are set out upon Attachment 3 to this
Agreement.
1. Distributor is required to maintain at least a [***] percent
([***]%) market share of Motorola Products in each of its Assigned
Accounts. Motorola and Distributor will meet at least quarterly to review
Distributor's performance in serving both Assigned Accounts and Pool
Accounts with Motorola Products purchased from Motorola under this
Agreement. These reviews will include an analysis and discussion of, among
other items, TAM Projections, competitive activity, Motorola sales
activity, current promotions, and other pertinent issues. During these
reviews, Motorola and Distributor will determine whether Distributor has
met the [***] percent market share requirements as set out above. If
Distributor has not met the [***] percent requirement in any of its
Assigned Accounts, the procedures set out below will take place at
Motorola's sole discretion.
2a. If, during the ninety (90) day period preceding the quarterly
meeting between Motorola and Distributor, Distributor has not met the
[***] percent requirement for a particular Assigned Account, or if
Motorola is notified by any Assigned Account that Distributor is not
providing adequate and appropriate service and the Assigned Account wishes
Distributor be removed as its only provider of Motorola Products,
Distributor shall have ten (10) business days from the date of the
quarterly meeting or notification to Motorola by an Assigned Account, to
provide Motorola with a remedial plan ("Remedial Plan") for increasing the
market share of the Assigned Account up to at least the [***] percent
threshold, or for providing the appropriate service level to the Assigned
Account. Once Distributor provides the Remedial Plan, Motorola shall have
five business days to approve or disapprove, in its sole discretion, the
Remedial Plan. If Motorola approves the Remedial Plan, Distributor shall
have ninety (90) days to increase the market share of the Assigned
Account(s) to at least the [***] percent market share threshold, or gain
approval from the Assigned Account regarding the service level provided by
Distributor. If at the end of the ninety (90) period Distributor is unable
to increase the market share of Motorola Products to at least the [***]
percent threshold, or satisfy the Assigned Account, Motorola may, at any
time, in its sole discretion, undertake the option(s) set out below in
section 1(e) (3).

[***] Denotes Confidential Treatment Requested
b. If Motorola does not approve the Distributor's Remedial Plan,
Distributor shall have five business days to revise the Remedial Plan and
resubmit the Remedial Plan to Motorola. After resubmission, Motorola shall
have five (5) business days to approve or disapprove the Remedial Plan.
After resubmission, the process set out above shall occur again.
Distributor understands and agrees that, at any time after the first
resubmission, Motorola may, at any time, in its sole discretion, undertake
the option(s) set out below in section 1(e)(3).
3. Upon the occurrence of either of the following events:
a. Distributor is unable to raise the market share of a
particular Assigned Account within the ninety (90) day
time period referenced above in section 1 (e) (2), or is
unable to provide a higher level of service to the
Assigned Account, such that the Assigned Account is
satisfied with the service level; or,
b. Distributor is required to make more than one submission
of its Remedial Plan to Motorola in order to provide
appropriate documentation of Distributor's plan to raise
the market share of Motorola Products within a
particular Assigned Account;
Motorola may, in its sole discretion, and upon not less than
five (5) business days notice to Distributor, notify
Distributor that that particular Assigned Account will become
a Pool Account, as defined above in section 1 (e). Upon such
notice by Motorola, and the passage of the notification
period, Assigned Account shall become a Pool Account and such
account shall be serviced by other distributors, as well as
Distributor.
f. In addition to the rights granted in this Section, Distributor shall also
have the non-exclusive right to sell Motorola Products to any Master
Agent, Sub-Agent or Independent Agent of any carrier customer of Motorola,
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Agents") so long as the Agent
directly activates Motorola's Products on networks owned and operated by
any wireless carrier that allows Distributor to sell to its Agents.
Distributor is not permitted to sell Motorola Products to any other
distributor or other entity which does not directly activate Motorola
Products on a wireless network except for those entities that distribute
to mutually agreed upon special markets. In the event that any wireless
carrier specifies to Motorola that Distributor is not permitted to sell to
its Agents, Motorola shall promptly notify Distributor and Distributor
shall immediately cease and desist selling any Motorola Products to that
particular wireless carrier's Agents. In the event that Distributor
violates the terms of this provision by selling to any company or entity
that does not directly activate Motorola Products on a wireless carrier's
network, or by selling Motorola Products to an Agent after notice by
Motorola that Distributor is not authorized to sell to its Agents, then
Motorola may, in addition to any other remedy or recourse it may possess
at law or equity, suspend or cancel, any Market Development Funds
previously accrued, or which may accrue in the future, with no further
obligation or liability to Distributor.
