Items to be Included in this Report

 
Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Effective May 13, 2005, CellStar Corporation (the "Company") finalized an amendment and waiver to its domestic revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that modified a financial covenant related to net worth and established a reserve requirement formalizing the current practice of the Company with respect to such reserve. The amendment and waiver also waived certain financial covenants for the quarters ended November 30, 2004 and February 28, 2005, with which the Company would not have been in compliance due to the contemplated restatements of its financial statements. In addition, the amendment and waiver waived the following potential events of default: (i) 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") and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2005 (the "Form 10-Q"), by the extended filing date of March 1, 2005, and April 18, 2005, respectively, and its 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; (ii) the Company's failure to deliver 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 financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the quarter ended February 28, 2005, pursuant to the Facility.

To be effective, the waiver requires that (i) the Company must file its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q on or before May 31, 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 quarter ended February 28, 2005, on or before May 31, 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.

The amendment 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.
