Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective November 20, 2006, CellStar, Ltd. (“CellStar”), the U.S. operating subsidiary of CellStar Corporation, entered into a Master Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) and a Regional Amendment for the Sale of Products Between Motorola and CellStar in North America (the “Amendment,” together with the Distribution Agreement, the “Agreement”) with Motorola, Inc. (“Motorola”).   The Agreement provides the terms and conditions under which Motorola will supply cellular telephone products and accessories to CellStar, and currently covers the United States.  The Agreement has a term of one year from the effective date, with automatic renewals for successive one-year terms, unless sooner terminated as permitted by the Agreement.  The Agreement provides price protection and most favored pricing to CellStar in certain circumstances, and designates certain customers that are assigned to CellStar on an exclusive basis provided that CellStar meets established targets related to market share for those customers.

The Agreement may be terminated by either party if the other party commits a breach of the Agreement that continues for a period of thirty days without cure after notice by the non-breaching party. Additionally, the Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time upon the insolvency, liquidation or bankruptcy of either party, or by Motorola immediately upon written notice if CellStar’s financial statements indicate a material adverse effect on its ability to distribute products under the Agreement, or if CellStar breaches certain terms of the Agreement.  Notwithstanding the above, either party may terminate the Agreement at any time without cause upon sixty days prior written notice.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Distribution Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 and the Amendment attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
