provisions of Article IV, the Administrative Agent shall, or any other
Lender in its sole discretion may, issue letters of credit denominated in
Dollars or in any Agreed Currency for the account of Brightpoint, BPI or
Brightpoint BV2, on terms as are satisfactory to such Issuing Lender;
provided, however, that no Facility Letter of Credit will be issued for the
account of Brightpoint, BPI or Brightpoint BV2 by an Issuing Lender if on

In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding anything else herein to
the contrary, with respect to Facility Letters of Credit to be issued for
the account of Brightpoint BV2, no such Facility Letter of Credit will be

such Facility Letter of Credit together with all other Facility Letters of

the request of the applicable Borrower, include a provision whereby such
Facility Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional
consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is
five Business Days prior to the Termination Date) unless the Issuing Lender
notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the
then-applicable expiry date that such Facility Letter of Credit will not be
renewed. Prior to issuing any Facility Letter of Credit, the applicable
Issuing Lender shall request and the Administrative Agent shall provide

notifies the applicable Issuing Lender that it is authorized to issue such

Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt notice of the issuance of any
such Facility Letter of Credit by it. Each Issuing Lender shall furnish to
the Administrative Agent and each Lender on the first Business Day of each
month a written report, with respect to each outstanding Facility Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, summarizing whether such Facility
Letter of Credit is a standby or commercial Facility Letter of Credit, the
maximum amount available to be drawn thereon, the beneficiary and the
issuance and expiration dates thereof and, if such Letter of Credit is a
Secured Facility Letter of Credit, a written description of the Collateral
maintained with respect thereto. Together with each such monthly report

Brightpoint BV2 shall be included as a Borrower under this Agreement solely
for the purpose of the issuance of Facility Letters of Credit for its
account under this Section 2.20 and shall not be entitled to borrow Loans
or Alternate Currency Loans.
1.4. Sections 2.22 and 2.23 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended to
delete the terms thereon in their entirety and to substitute the following
therefor:
2.22 Reimbursement Obligation. Each of the Borrowers agrees
unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely upon receipt of notice from the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender to pay immediately to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender
or the account of the Lenders, as the case may be, the amount of each
advance which may be drawn under or pursuant to a Facility Letter of Credit
issued for its account or an L/C Draft related thereto (such obligation of
each of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender or the Administrative
Agent for an advance made under a Facility Letter of Credit or L/C Draft
being hereinafter referred to as a "REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION" with respect
to such Facility Letter of Credit or L/C Draft), each such payment to be
made by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent no later than
2:00 p.m. (Indianapolis time) on the Business Day on which the applicable
Issuing Lender makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, in the case of any
other draw on a Facility Letter of Credit, 2:00 p.m. (Indianapolis time) on
the date specified in a demand by the Administrative Agent and such payment
shall be made in the applicable currency in which such Facility Letter of
Credit was issued. Any Issuing Lender may direct the Administrative Agent
to make such demand with respect to Facility Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Lender.
(a) If any Borrower (other than Brightpoint BV2) at any time
fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this Section
2.22, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow a
Revolving Loan from the applicable Lenders, as of the date of the
Advance giving rise to the Reimbursement Obligation equal in amount to
the amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. Such Revolving Loan
shall be made as of the date of the payment giving rise to such
Reimbursement Obligation, automatically, without notice and without
any requirement to satisfy the conditions precedent otherwise
applicable to an Advance of Revolving Loans if such Borrower shall
have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the applicable Issuing Lender prior to such time. Such
Revolving Loans shall constitute a Base Rate Advance, the proceeds of
which Advance shall be used to repay such Reimbursement Obligation.
If, for any reason, such Borrower fails to repay a Reimbursement
Obligation on the day such Reimbursement Obligation arises and, for
any reason, the Lenders are unable to make or have no obligation to
make a Revolving Loan, then such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear
interest from and after such day, until paid in full, at the interest
rate applicable to a Base Rate Advance.
(b) If Brightpoint BV2 at any time fails to repay a Reimbursement
Obligation pursuant to this Section 2.22, Brightpoint BV2 shall be
deemed to have authorized the applicable Issuing Lender to liquidate
any Collateral held as
4
5
security for the Secured Facility Letters of Credit in an amount equal
to the amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation (or as close
thereto as is reasonably practicable given the types and maturities of
Collateral held) and to apply the proceeds thereof to the repayment of
such Reimbursement Obligation. Such liquidation and application shall
be made as of the date of the payment giving rise to such
Reimbursement Obligation, automatically and without notice if
Brightpoint BV2 shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender
prior to such time. If, for any reason, Brightpoint BV2 fails to repay
a Reimbursement Obligation on the day such Reimbursement Obligation
arises and, for any reason, the applicable Issuing Lender is unable to
liquidate Collateral for application to such Reimbursement
Obligations, then , Brightpoint, as a guarantor of such Obligations,
shall be deemed to have elected to borrow a Revolving Loan from the
applicable Lenders, as of the date of the Advance giving rise to the
Reimbursement Obligation equal in amount to the amount of the unpaid
Reimbursement Obligation. Such Revolving Loan shall be made as of the
date of the payment giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation,
automatically, without notice and without any requirement to satisfy
the conditions precedent otherwise applicable to an Advance of
Revolving Loans. Such Revolving Loans shall constitute a Base Rate
Advance, the proceeds of which Advance shall be used to repay such
Reimbursement Obligation. If, for any reason, Brightpoint BV2 fails to
repay a Reimbursement Obligation on the day such Reimbursement
Obligation arises and, for any reason the applicable Issuing Lender is
unable to liquidate Collateral for application to such Reimbursement
Obligations and, for any reason, the Lenders are unable to make or
have no obligation to make a Revolving Loan to Brightpoint, then such
Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from and after such day,
until paid in full, at the interest rate applicable to a Base Rate
Advance.
2.23 Cash Collateral. (a) Post-Default Collateral. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any application for a Facility Letter
of Credit, after the occurrence and during the continuance of Default, each
Borrower shall, upon the Administrative Agent's demand, deliver to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, cash, or other
collateral of a type satisfactory to the Required Lenders, having a value,
as determined by such Lenders, equal to the aggregate outstanding L/C
Obligations of such Borrower. Any such collateral shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in a separate account appropriately designated as a
cash collateral account in relation to this Agreement and the Facility
Letters of Credit and retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Lenders as collateral security for the Borrowers' obligations in
respect of this Agreement and each of the Facility Letters of Credit and
L/C Drafts. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Administrative
Agent or each Issuing Lender, as applicable, for drawings or payments under
or pursuant to Facility Letters of Credit or L/C Drafts, or if no such
reimbursement is required, to payment of such of the other Obligations as
the Administrative Agent shall determine. If no Default shall be
continuing, amounts remaining in any cash collateral account established
pursuant to this Section 2.23 which are not to be applied to
5
6
reimburse the Administrative Agent for amounts actually paid or to be paid
by the Administrative Agent in respect of a Facility Letter of Credit or
L/C Draft, shall be returned to the applicable Borrower (after deduction of
the Administrative Agent's expenses incurred in connection with such cash
collateral account).
(b) Brightpoint BV2 Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any application for a Facility Letter of Credit,
Brightpoint BV2 shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Lender (or to the
Administrative Agent) for the benefit of the Lenders, cash, or other Cash
Equivalents of a type satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, having a
value, at all times, equal to the aggregate outstanding L/C Obligations of
Brightpoint BV2. Any such collateral shall be held by the Administrative
Agent (or the applicable Issuing Lender) in a separate account
appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to this
Agreement and the Facility Letters of Credit issued for the account of
Brightpoint BV2 and retained by the Administrative Agent (or the applicable
Issuing Lender) for the benefit of the Lenders as collateral security for
Brightpoint BV2's obligations in respect of this Agreement and each of the
Facility Letters of Credit issued for its account and L/C Drafts related
thereto. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Administrative
Agent or each Issuing Lender, as applicable, for drawings or payments under
or pursuant to Facility Letters of Credit issued for the account of
Brightpoint BV2 or L/C Drafts thereunder.
