Items to be Included in this Report

 
Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Effective April 14, 2005, CellStar Corporation (the "Company") received a 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, 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 (the "Existing Events of Default") would have resulted under the Facility. The lenders under the Facility had previously waived each of the Existing Events of Default, provided that, among other things, the Company filed its Form 10-K and delivered the Audit Letter on or prior to April 15, 2005, pursuant to that certain Waiver dated as of March 1, 2005, and that certain Waiver and Consent dated as of March 29, 2005 (collectively referred to as the "Previous Waiver"). The Company was unable to file its Form 10-K or deliver the Audit Letter on or before April 15, 2005, thus the Previous Waiver is of no further force or effect. In addition, the Company faced a potential event of default related to the Company's failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005 (the "Form 10-Q") by its extended filing date of April 18, 2005.

The lenders agreed to extend the delivery date for the Form 10-K and Audit Letter to May 16, 2005, and to waive the potential event of default related to the Form 10-Q. To be effective, the waiver requires that (i) the Company shall file its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q on or before May 16, 2005; and (ii) 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 failure to timely file the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and the failure to timely deliver the Audit Letter, other than giving notice of default pursuant to the Indenture. In addition, the lenders further waived certain provisions under the Facility to the extent necessary to permit the Company to deliver, no later than May 16, 2005, audit financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004.

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.
