          2.06 Consent of Third Parties; Further Assurances.

               (a) Sellers and Buyer shall execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered by their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, such
additional instruments of conveyance and transfer as Buyer or Sellers may
reasonably request or as may be otherwise necessary to fully convey or transfer
to, and vest in, Buyer and put Buyer in possession of, the Purchased Assets and
for Buyer to assume any part of the Assumed Liabilities and for Buyer to succeed
to the Business. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt or
agreement to assign any asset, Contract, permit, license or other right or
obligation which would otherwise be included in the Purchased Assets or Assumed
Liabilities, as appropriate, but which is by its terms or by law non-assignable
without the consent of the other party or parties thereto or any Governmental
Authority unless such consent shall have been given, or as to which all the
remedies for the enforcement thereof enjoyed by any Seller or the Business would
not, as a matter of law, pass to Buyer as an incident of the assignments
provided for by this Agreement (the "NON-ASSIGNABLE ASSETS"). Prior to Closing,
and, if Buyer determines in its sole discretion to waive the condition to
Closing set forth in SECTION 9.02(C) with respect to any such Non-Assignable
Asset, then for a one (1) year period after the Closing (or such shorter period
as specified elsewhere in this Agreement with respect to specific types of
Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities or, if earlier, the liquidation or
dissolution of CellStar), Sellers agree to use their reasonable best efforts to
obtain any such consents promptly. At such time as any Non-Assignable Asset is
properly assigned to Buyer, such Non-Assignable Asset shall cease to be a
Non-Assignable Asset and become a Purchased Asset.


                                      -16-

<PAGE>

               (b) Following the Closing for an indefinite period and until such
time as such Non-Assignable Assets may be properly assigned to Buyer, or, if
earlier, the liquidation or dissolution of CellStar, such Non-Assignable Assets
shall be held by CellStar (or the related Subsidiary or Affiliate of CellStar)
in trust for Buyer and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be
performed by Buyer in the name of CellStar (or the related Subsidiary or
Affiliate of CellStar) and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder
shall be for the account of Buyer. During such period, Sellers shall take or
cause to be taken such action in their name or otherwise as Buyer may reasonably
request so as to provide Buyer with the benefits of the Non-Assignable Assets
and to effect collection of money or other consideration to become due and
payable under the Non-Assignable Assets, and Sellers shall promptly pay over to
Buyer all money or other consideration received by them (or their Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) in respect of all Non-Assignable Assets. Following the Closing,
Sellers shall be deemed to have authorized Buyer to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law and the terms of the Non-Assignable Assets, to perform all of the
obligations and receive all of the benefits under the Non-Assignable Assets and
hereby appoints Buyer its attorney-in-fact to act in their name on their behalf
(and on behalf of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates) with respect thereto.

          2.07 Purchase Price; Escrow. (a) In consideration of the sale and
transfer of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities,
Buyer agrees to purchase the Purchased Assets from Sellers for the aggregate
purchase price (the "PURCHASE PRICE") of $88,000,000 (Eighty Eight Million
Dollars). The Purchase Price shall be paid in cash as provided in Section
2.08(b) and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 2.08 and
2.09. CellStar shall be treated as receiving a portion of the Purchase Price as
agent for its Affiliates actually selling the Purchased Assets consistent with
the allocation of the Purchase Price agreed to by CellStar and Buyer prior to
the Closing Date in accordance with SCHEDULE 2.07 annexed hereto, which Schedule
shall set forth the allocations in respect of the respective Sellers.

               (b) At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit $8,800,000 (Eight Million
Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars) of the Purchase Price amount (the "ESCROW
AMOUNT") into an Escrow Account (the "ESCROW ACCOUNT"), pursuant to the terms of
the Escrow Agreement as security for the indemnification obligations of CellStar
pursuant to Section 10.01 for a period of six months from the Closing Date
("ESCROW PERIOD"). The Escrow Amount shall be held and disbursed from the Escrow
Account in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement, it being acknowledged
by the Parties that the escrow arrangements contemplated hereby, including the
Escrow Agreement, shall be available as a non-exclusive remedy for any claim for
a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this
Agreement, including any claim under Article 10 hereof.

          2.08 Closing. (a) The closing (the "CLOSING") of the purchase and sale
of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities hereunder
shall take place at the offices of Blank Rome LLP, 405 Lexington Avenue, New
York, New York, as soon as possible, but in no event later than five (5)
Business Days, after satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, waiver) of the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than those
conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject
to the fulfillment or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, waiver of
those conditions), or at such other time or place as Buyer and CellStar may
agree.


                                      -17-

<PAGE>

               (b) At the Closing:

                     (i) Buyer shall deliver to CellStar, in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by
CellStar by notice to Buyer (such notice to be delivered to Buyer not later than
two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), an amount equal to the
Purchase Price, minus the Escrow Amount, (A) plus the Estimated Net Working
Capital Adjustment Amount, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, if Estimated
Net Working Capital exceeds Baseline Net Working Capital, or (B) minus the
Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, as an adjustment to the
Purchase Price, if Baseline Net Working Capital exceeds Estimated Net Working
Capital;

                    (ii) The Sellers and Buyer shall enter into the Transaction
Documents such Parties are to be a party thereto (other than this Agreement);

                    (iii) The Sellers shall deliver certificates, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, from CellStar and its relevant
Subsidiaries, duly executed and acknowledged, certifying that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of
the Code;

                    (iv) The Sellers shall deliver to Buyer such deeds, bills of
sale, assignments of all Seller Intangibles (including all Intellectual Property
Rights in respect thereof but not including the Excluded Foreign Intangibles),
endorsements, Consents, assignments and other good and sufficient instruments of
conveyance and assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer, as the Parties and their respective counsel shall deem reasonably
necessary to vest in Buyer all right, title and interest in, to and under the
Purchased Assets and to evidence Buyer's assumption of the Assumed Liabilities
free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens; and

                    (v) Buyer and CellStar shall deliver or shall cause to be
delivered such other documents as may be required pursuant to Article 9 hereof.

          2.09 Net Working Capital and Net Other Assets and Liabilities
Adjustments. The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as determined
pursuant to this Section 2.09.

               (a) If Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working
Capital, then Buyer shall pay to CellStar an amount equal to the Net Working
Capital Adjustment Amount (as defined below) in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 2.09. If Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net
Working Capital, then CellStar shall pay to Buyer the Net Working Capital
Adjustment Amount in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.09. "NET
WORKING CAPITAL" shall mean and be, with respect to the Business and reflected
in the Business Financial Statements as of the Closing Date, (x) the value of
the accounts receivable and inventories, less (y) the accounts payable
(excluding that certain payable referred to on SCHEDULE 2.09(A)(I)) and deferred
revenue (to the extent that deferred revenue is in excess of $350,000 (Three
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars)), of the Asset Selling Entities. Net Working
Capital (and its components) will: (a) be determined in accordance with GAAP,
consistently applied, as modified by, and otherwise prepared in accordance with,
the net working capital accounting principles set forth on SCHEDULE 2.09(A)(II)
(the "NET WORKING CAPITAL


                                      -18-

<PAGE>

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES"), (b) be calculated separately for the United States and
Miami businesses, (c) exclude all intercompany balances outstanding between
CellStar and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries and (d) exclude all Excluded Assets
and Excluded Liabilities. For purposes hereof, (i) "BASELINE NET WORKING
CAPITAL" shall be $36,350,000 (Thirty Six Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars), as such amount may be reduced in accordance with Section 9.02(o)
hereof and (ii) "NET WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT" shall mean and be equal
to the difference between Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working
Capital, whether such difference is a positive or a negative number. SCHEDULE
2.09(A)(IV) annexed hereto sets forth, for illustrative purposes only, an
example of the calculation of Net Working Capital as of September 30, 2006.

               (b) Within five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, but in no
event less than two (2) days prior to the Closing, CellStar shall deliver to
Buyer a statement, certified (in the form annexed hereto as EXHIBIT E) by the
chief administrative officer and the chief financial officer of CellStar (in
their executive capacities on behalf of CellStar but not in their individual
capacities), reflecting CellStar's good faith best estimate of Net Working
Capital as of the Closing Date (the "ESTIMATED NET WORKING CAPITAL"), and the
basis for such calculation, prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently
applied, as modified by, and otherwise prepared in accordance with, the Net
Working Capital Accounting Principles, which Estimated Net Working Capital and
statement shall be subject to the approval of Buyer in its sole and absolute
discretion. The Schedule reflecting the agreed upon Estimated Net Working
Capital shall be attached hereto as SCHEDULE 2.09(B). Sellers shall (i) provide
Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to
all relevant work papers, trial balances, employees, internal and external
accountants and auditors, plants, offices, warehouses and other facilities, all
books and records and other financial information to the extent necessary or
useful to complete their analysis of Estimated Net Working Capital and the
statement in respect thereof, (ii) cause CellStar and its Subsidiaries' officers
and advisors (including counsel, financial advisors and auditors) to furnish
Buyer's Representatives with such financial and operating data and other
information with respect to the Business, properties and personnel of Sellers
and their Subsidiaries as Buyer's Representatives may from time to time
reasonably request and (iii) cooperate with Buyer's Representatives' reasonable
requests with respect to the review of Estimated Net Working Capital and the
statement in respect thereof.

               (c) If Net Other Assets and Liabilities is a net liability of
more than $3,000,000 (Three Million Dollars), then CellStar shall pay Buyer the
amount by which the Net Other Assets and Liabilities is a net liability in
excess of $3,000,000 (Three Million Dollars) (the "NET OTHER ASSETS AND
LIABILITIES ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 2.09. If Net Other Assets and Liabilities is either a net asset or a net
liability of less than $3,000,000 (Three Million Dollars), there shall be no Net
Other Assets and Liabilities Adjustment Amount. "NET OTHER ASSETS AND
LIABILITIES" shall mean and be, with respect to the Business and reflected in
the Business Financial Statements as of the Closing Date, (x) the value of all
prepaid assets (referred to in the Business Financial Statements as Prepaid
Expense which include Prepaid Value Added Tax and prepaid Other Expenses, plus
net property and equipment (referred to in the Business Financial Statements as
Net Fixed Assets), plus other non-current assets (referred to in the Business
Financial Statements as Other Non-Current Assets) plus Seller's corporate fixed
assets as identified in SCHEDULE 2.02(B) less (y) accrued expenses of the Asset
Selling Entities (referred to in the Business Financial Statements as


                                      -19-

<PAGE>

Accrued Other Expenses) and Seller's corporate accrued expenses assumed by Buyer
as set forth in SCHEDULE 2.05(A). Net Other Assets and Liabilities (and its
components) will: (a) be determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently
applied, as modified by, and otherwise prepared in accordance with, the net
other assets and liabilities principles set forth on SCHEDULE 2.09(C)(I) (the

separately for the United States, Miami and Seller's corporate operations, (c)
exclude all intercompany balances outstanding between CellStar and its
Affiliates and Subsidiaries, and (d) exclude all Excluded Assets and Excluded
Liabilities. SCHEDULE 2.09(C)(III) annexed hereto sets forth, for illustrative
purposes only, an example of the calculation of Net Other Assets and Liabilities
and the Net Other Assets and Liabilities Adjustment Amount as of September 30,
2006.

               (d) As promptly as practicable after the Closing, Buyer shall
deliver to CellStar a statement setting forth the calculation of Net Working
Capital and Net Other Assets and Liabilities, which statement shall be audited
by Ernst & Young LLP (or another independent registered public accounting firm
retained by Buyer) and certified, in the manner contemplated by Section 2.09(b)
hereof, by the chief financial officer of Buyer (in his executive capacity on
behalf of Buyer but not in his individual capacity), as of the close of business
New York City time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "BUYER
NET WORKING CAPITAL AND NET OTHER ASSETS AND LIABILITIES") and the basis for
such calculation prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, as
modified by, and otherwise prepared in accordance with, the Net Working Capital
Accounting Principles (such date of delivery, the "SETTLEMENT DATE").

               (e) As promptly as practicable, but in no event after thirty (30)
days following the Settlement Date, CellStar shall deliver to Buyer a notice of
acceptance (an "ACCEPTANCE NOTICE") or a notice of objection (an "OBJECTION
NOTICE") with respect to Buyer Net Working Capital and Net Other Assets and
Liabilities. If an Acceptance Notice is delivered to Buyer or if no Objection
Notice is delivered to Buyer within such thirty (30) day period, such Buyer Net
Working Capital and Net Other Assets and Liabilities shall be final and binding
on the Parties as Net Working Capital and Net Other Assets and Liabilities and
shall be used to calculate the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount and the Net
Other Assets and Liabilities Adjustment Amount, if any. Any Objection Notice
shall specify in reasonable detail the items in Buyer Net Working Capital and
Net Other Assets and Liabilities disputed by CellStar and shall describe in
reasonable detail the basis for the objection and all information in the
possession of CellStar which forms the basis therefor, as well as the amount in
dispute. If an Objection Notice is given in accordance herewith, Buyer and
CellStar shall consult with each other with respect to the objection and use
their respective reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed
items and amounts in order to agree on a calculation of Net Working Capital and
Net Other Assets and Liabilities. If Buyer and CellStar are unable to reach
agreement within thirty (30) days after an Objection Notice has been given, and
all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or such other independent registered public
accounting firm as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the
"INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM"). Each Party agrees to execute, if requested by
the Independent Accounting Firm, a reasonable engagement letter. The Independent
Accounting Firm shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the
provisions of this Section 2.09, and the presentations by Sellers' and Buyer's
respective Representatives, and not by independent review, only those issues
still in dispute. The Independent Accounting Firm's determination shall be made
within thirty (30) days


                                       -20-

<PAGE>

of the dispute being submitted for their determination, shall be set forth in a
written statement delivered to Sellers and Buyer. Any resolution hereunder,
whether by the parties, or the Independent Accounting Firm, as set forth above,
shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the Parties hereto, absent actual
fraud, intentional misrepresentation or manifest error. A judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the Independent Accounting Firm's
determination. The Independent Accounting Firm shall have exclusive jurisdiction
over, and resort to the Independent Accounting Firm provided in this Section
2.09 shall be the only recourse and remedy of the Parties against one another
with respect to, any disputes arising out of or relating to the adjustments
pursuant to this Section 2.09. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent
Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Sellers, on the one hand and the Buyer, on
the other, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount
not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party.

               (f) The Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount and the Net Other
Assets and Liabilities Adjustment Amount, if any, shall be paid by the
appropriate Party in accordance with Section 2.09 within five (5) Business Days
following the final determination of Net Working Capital and Net Other Assets
and Liabilities by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank
account designated in writing by the recipient prior thereto, together with
interest thereon at an annual rate of ten percent (10%), based on a three
hundred sixty (360) day year, from and including the day immediately following
the Closing Date, and up to, but not including, the date of payment
("INTEREST").

               (g) Buyer and CellStar agree that they will, and agree to cause
their respective independent accountants to, reasonably cooperate and assist in
the calculation of Net Working Capital and Net Other Assets and Liabilities and
in the conduct of the procedures referred to in this Section 2.09, including
without limitation, making available to the extent reasonably necessary books,
records, work papers, trial balances, other financial information and personnel,
including the execution of customary release or indemnification letters required
by the Independent Accounting Firm or taking of physical inventory.

          3.15 Solvency. (a) Neither CellStar nor its Subsidiaries is now
insolvent (as defined below), and will not be rendered insolvent by any of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except for the
Subsidiaries listed on SCHEDULE 3.15 which are deemed insolvent for purposes
hereof only as a result of the intercompany liabilities and indebtedness to
third parties described on SCHEDULE 3.15. As used herein, "INSOLVENT" means that
the sum of each of CellStar's and its Subsidiaries' debts and other probable
liabilities exceeds the present fair saleable value of the assets thereof.
Immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, (i) CellStar and each of its Subsidiaries will be able to
pay its liabilities as they become due in the usual course of CellStar's or such
Subsidiary's business and will not incur debts that would be beyond CellStar's
and its Subsidiaries' ability to pay such debts as they mature, (ii) neither
CellStar nor any of its Subsidiaries will have unreasonably small capital with
which to conduct its present or proposed business, (iii) CellStar and each of
its Subsidiaries will have assets (calculated at fair market value) that exceed
their liabilities, and (iv) taking into account all pending and threatened
litigation, final judgments against CellStar or its Subsidiaries in actions for
money damages are not reasonably anticipated to be rendered at a time when, or
in amounts such that, CellStar or any of its Subsidiaries will be unable to
satisfy any such judgments promptly in accordance with their terms (taking into
account the maximum probable amount of such judgments in any such actions and
the earliest reasonable time at which such judgments might be rendered) as well
as all other obligations of CellStar and its Subsidiaries. The cash available to
CellStar and each of its Subsidiaries, after taking into account all other
anticipated uses of the cash, will be sufficient to pay all such debts and
judgments promptly in accordance with their terms.

all Contracts with any Seller, including but not limited to, severance plans,
bonus plans, employment agreements, change of control agreements, indemnity
agreements or other similar agreements, with respect to any retention or

Liability is due or will become payable, in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly as a result of the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and (ii) the amount of any compensation, remuneration or
other amounts which are or may be due or payable by any Seller as a result of
the transactions contemplated hereby under such Contracts (including any such
Liabilities which are or may be due or payable by any Seller assuming that each
employee of any Seller that is a party to such Contract is terminated without
cause immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated
