Items to be Included in this Report

 
Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Effective July 15, 2005, CellStar Corporation (the "Company") obtained a waiver (the "Waiver") from the lenders under its domestic revolving credit facility (the "Facility") related to the Company's failure to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004 (the "Form 10-K"), by its extended filing date of March 1, 2005, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005 (the "First Quarter Form 10-Q"), by its extended filing date of April 18, 2005, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended May 31, 2005 (the "Second Quarter Form 10-Q"), by July 11, 2005, and the Company's failure to cause its independent public accountants to deliver a letter (the "Audit Letter") to the trustee pursuant to the Company's indenture (the "Indenture") for its 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due January 2007 (the "Subordinated Notes") confirming that their audit examination included a review of the terms of the Indenture and stating whether any default or event of default had come to their attention as required pursuant to the Indenture. In each case, an event of default would have resulted under the Facility. The lenders under the Facility had previously waived the Company's failure to file its Form 10-K and First Quarter Form 10-Q and to deliver the Audit Letter, as well as the Company's failure to comply with certain financial covenants, provided that, among other things, the Company file its Form 10-K and First Quarter Form 10-Q and deliver the Audit Letter on or prior to July 15, 2005, pursuant to the waiver dated as of May 31, 2005 (the "Previous Waiver"). The Company was unable to file its Form 10-K or First Quarter Form 10-Q or deliver the Audit Letter on or before July 15, 2005; thus the Previous Waiver is of no further force or effect.

Pursuant to the Waiver, the lenders agreed to waive certain financial covenants for the quarters ended November 30, 2004, and February 28, 2005, and for the quarters ended prior to November 30, 2004, with which the Company would not have been in compliance due to the contemplated restatements of its financial statements. In addition, the lenders agreed to waive the following potential events of default: (i) the Company's failure to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Form 10-K and First Quarter Form 10-Q by the extended filing dates of March 1, 2005, and April 18, 2005, respectively, its failure to file the Second Quarter Form 10-Q by July 11, 2005, and its failure to cause its independent public accountants to deliver the Audit Letter to the trustee pursuant to the Company's Indenture; (ii) the Company's failure to deliver to the lenders the audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004, and (iii) the Company's failure to deliver to the lenders financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the quarters ended February 28, 2005, and May 31, 2005, pursuant to the Facility.

The Waiver requires that (i) the Company must file its Form 10-K, First Quarter Form 10-Q and Second Quarter Form 10-Q on or before September 6, 2005; (ii) the Company must deliver to the lenders financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004, in substantially the form of the preliminary financial statements provided to the lenders, and financial statements for the quarters ended February 28, 2005, and May 31, 2005, on or before September 6, 2005; and (iii) the holders of the Subordinated Notes, or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Notes, shall not exercise any remedies against the Company or any of its subsidiaries who are borrowers with respect to the events of default specified above, other than giving notice of default pursuant to the Indenture.

The Waiver was executed by Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as agent and a lender, Fleet Capital Corporation, Textron Financial Corporation, and PNC National Bank Association, as lenders, and the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers, including CellStar, Ltd., National Auto Center, Inc., CellStar Financo, Inc., CellStar International Corporation/SA, CellStar Fulfillment, Inc., CellStar International Corporation/Asia, Audiomex Export Corp., NAC Holdings, Inc., CellStar Global Satellite Services, Ltd., and CellStar Fulfillment Ltd.
