If one or more Investors declines to participate in such purchase or elects to purchase less than such Investor’s Pro-Rata Share, then such rejected New Securities shall automatically be deemed to be accepted by the Investors who specified an Excess Amount in their respective notice of acceptance, allocated among such Investors in proportion to their respective Pro-Rata Share determined based only on the participating Investors but in no event shall an amount greater than an Investor’s Excess Amount be allocated to such Investor. Any excess New Securities shall be allocated among the remaining participating Investors whose specified Excess Amount has not been satisfied in proportion to their respective Pro-Rata Share, determined based only on the participating Investors, and such procedure shall be employed until the entire Excess Amount of each participating Investor has been satisfied or all New Securities have been allocated. The Corporation shall be free at any time during the period of sixty (60) days after the Refusal Period to offer and sell to a purchaser (who shall not be any of the Mitsui Competitors on or prior to December 31, 2010, unless otherwise agreed by Mitsui) in one transaction or a series of transactions, the remainder of the New Securities proposed to be issued by the Corporation Brightstar Corp.

(including, but not limited to, the New Securities not agreed by the Investors to be purchased by them), at a price and on other terms no more favorable to such purchaser than those specified in such notice of offer to the Investors. However, if such sale or sales is or are not consummated within such sixty (60) day period as to any number of New Securities, the Corporation shall not sell such New Securities as shall not have been purchased within such period without again complying with this Section 2.3.1. 2.3.2 Transfer to Industry Participant. 2.3.2.1 If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the 2003 Purchase Agreement and/or a Protective Default, Payment Default or Outside Date Default has occurred and is continuing under the Series B Certificate of Designation and/or the Series C Certificate of Designation and/or the Series D Certificate of Designation (collectively, a “Default”), and then only during such period as the Corporation is in Default under the said instrument, an Investor (for purposes of this Section 2.3.2, the “Offering Stockholder”) may Transfer to an Industry Participant all or any portion of the Covered Securities covered by such instrument and held by such Offering Stockholder, and if such Transfer is prior to a Qualified Public Offering, the Offering Stockholder shall deliver written notice to the Corporation of its intent to Transfer all or a portion of its Covered Securities (the “Offered Securities”) to an Industry Participant. The written notice (the “Request for Offer”) shall include a request that the Corporation make a written offer to the Offering Stockholder to purchase the Offered Securities. The Corporation shall have a period of thirty (30) calendar days in which to make a written offer (the “Corporation Offer”) to the Offering Stockholder to purchase all but not less than all of the Offered Securities, which Corporation Offer shall include the proposed purchase price per security for the Offered Securities and all other material terms and conditions of the Corporation Offer. The Corporation shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days after delivery of the Corporation Offer provide written evidence to the Offering Stockholder that it is ready, willing and able to purchase the Offered Securities, such written evidence to be satisfied by verified account statements reflecting that the Corporation maintains sufficient cash or cash equivalents on hand to cover the aggregate purchase price for the Offered Securities or a written financing commitment from a lender reasonably acceptable to the Offering Stockholder. 2.3.2.2 The Offering Stockholder shall have the right for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the financial information described in the last sentence of Section 2.3.2.1 to accept the Corporation Offer. The Offering Stockholder’s right to accept the Corporation Offer shall be exercised by delivering written notice (the “Offering Stockholder Acceptance”) to such effect to the Corporation. An Offering Stockholder Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to Transfer the Offered Securities to the Corporation at the price and on all other terms and conditions set forth in the Corporation Offer and in this Section 2.3.2. The failure of the Offering Stockholder to exercise its right to accept the Corporation Offer within such fifteen (15) calendar day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right to accept the Corporation Offer. 2.3.2.3 If the Offering Stockholder accepts the Corporation Offer, the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities to the Corporation shall occur at such time as requested by the Offering Stockholder; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier than twenty (20) Business Days following the Offering Stockholder Acceptance or later than ninety Brightstar Corp.

(90) days following the date on which the Request for Offer was received by the Corporation. Such sale shall be effected by the Offering Stockholder’s delivery to the Corporation of certificates evidencing the Offered Securities purchased, duly endorsed for Transfer, against payment to the Offering Stockholder of the purchase price therefor by the Corporation. 2.3.2.4 If the Offering Stockholder rejects the Corporation Offer under this Section 2.3.2, and the Offering Stockholder elects to Transfer the Offered Securities to an Industry Participant, the Transfer must be consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which the Request for Offer was received by the Corporation (provided that such 120-day period shall be extended to the extent necessary to obtain all the required consents and approvals of any Government Authority) and the purchase price paid or payable by the Industry Participant for the Offered Securities shall be greater than the purchase price set forth in the Corporation Offer. 2.3.2.5 Nothing in this Section 2.3.2 shall entitle the Corporation to have a right of first offer on any Covered Securities held by any Investor except in the specific circumstance described in Section 2.3.2.1. 2.4 Right of Co-Sale. 2.4.1 (a) At any time prior to the consummation of the Corporation’s Qualified Public Offering, if any Management Controlling Stockholder (for purposes of this Section 2.4, the “Management Controlling Offering Stockholder”) proposes to Transfer its or his Covered Securities to a Person not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 2.2.1 in a transaction otherwise permitted under and in compliance with Sections 2.1 or 2.2.2 hereof, then each Investor shall be afforded the opportunity, pursuant to a written notice from such Management Controlling Offering Stockholder to join in such Transfer by selling its Covered Securities in accordance with Section 2.4.3 below (the “Management Controlling Co-Sale Notice”). (b) At any time prior to the consummation of the Corporation’s Qualified Public Offering, if any Series D Preferred Stockholder (for purposes of this Section 2.4, the “Series D Preferred Offering Stockholder”) proposes to Transfer its or his Covered Securities to a Person not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 2.2.1 in a transaction otherwise permitted under and in compliance with Sections 2.1 or 2.2.2 hereof, then each Series E Preferred Stockholder shall be afforded the opportunity, pursuant to a written notice from such Series D Preferred Offering Stockholder to join in such Transfer by selling its Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 2.4.3 below (the “Series D Preferred Co-Sale Notice”). 2.4.2 The Co-Sale Offering Stockholder shall deliver the Co-Sale Notice at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Proposed Transfer and shall include: (i) the number of Covered Securities that the Co-Sale Offering Stockholder owns and wishes to sell (for purposes of this Section 2.4, the “Offered Shares”), (ii) the proposed purchase price per share for the Offered Shares (the offer to purchase such shares shall be in cash or cash equivalent only), (iii) the identity of the proposed transferee, (iv) written evidence that the proposed transferee has made a bona fide offer for the Offered Shares and is ready, willing and Brightstar Corp.

able to purchase the Offered Shares at the price specified and (v) all other terms and conditions of the offer made by the proposed purchaser of the Offered Shares. 2.4.3 Each Participating Investor may notify, within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of the Co-Sale Notice, the Co-Sale Offering Stockholder of its election to sell a portion of its Covered Securities to the proposed purchaser in an amount not exceeding the number of Offered Shares multiplied by such Participating Investor’s Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (the “Co-Sale Election”). The Co-Sale Election shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to sell to the proposed purchaser the number of Covered Securities that the Participating Investor has elected to sell pursuant to the Co-Sale Election. The sale and purchase of Covered Securities contemplated by the Co-Sale Election shall be on the same terms set forth in the Co-Sale Notice. The number of Offered Shares sold to the proposed purchaser by the Co-Sale Offering Stockholder shall be reduced by the number of Covered Securities purchased by the proposed purchaser from the Participating Investor under this Section 2.4. The closing of the sale of Covered Securities by the Participating Investor to the proposed purchaser shall occur simultaneously with the closing of the sale of Offered Shares by the Co-Sale Offering Stockholder to the proposed purchaser. Any such sale within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of receipt of the Co-Sale Notice shall be made only to persons identified in the Co-Sale Notice and at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Co-Sale Notice. In the event such Co-Sale Offering Stockholder has not sold the Offered Shares within such 120-day period, the Co-Sale Offering Stockholder shall not thereafter sell any Covered Securities without first complying with the provisions of this Section 2.4. 2.4.4 The Corporation shall register any Transfer of any Offered Shares in its records and shall issue the applicable share certificates to any transferee. 2.4.5 The Participating Investor shall not be responsible for any costs incurred by the Corporation or any other party as a result of the Participating Investor exercising its rights under this Section 2.4, except for any legal fees, expenses and selling commissions personally incurred or contracted for by the participating Investor (or Series E Preferred Stockholder, as applicable). 2.5 Transfer to Mitsui Competitor. 2.5.1 Prior to January 1, 2011, provided that a Qualified Public Offering has not yet been consummated, if any stockholder (for the purposes of this Section 2.5, the “Transferor”) other than N&P and its Permitted Transferees wishes to Transfer any of his or its Covered Securities to any of the Mitsui Competitors, the Transferor shall deliver written notice to Mitsui of its intent to Transfer all or a portion of its Covered Securities (the “Proposed Securities”) to a Mitsui Competitor. The written notice (the “Request for Mitsui Offer”) shall include a request that Mitsui make a written offer to the Transferor to purchase the Proposed Securities. Mitsui shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days in which to make a written non legally binding proposal (the “Mitsui Preliminary Proposal”) to the Transferor to purchase all of the Proposed Securities, which Mitsui Preliminary Proposal shall include the proposed purchase price per security for the Proposed Securities and all other material terms and conditions of such purchase. Mitsui shall, subject to its board approval, within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Mitsui Preliminary Proposal provide a written legally binding offer (the “Mitsui Brightstar Corp. Fourth Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement

Binding Offer”) to the Transferor to purchase the Proposed Securities, with such written evidence that Mitsui is ready, willing and able to purchase the Proposed Securities, such written evidence to be satisfied by verified account statements reflecting that Mitsui maintains sufficient cash or cash equivalents on hand to cover the aggregate purchase price for the Proposed Securities or a written financing commitment from a lender reasonably acceptable to the Transferor. If Mitsui does not make both a Mitsui Preliminary Proposal and a Mitsui Binding Offer within the time periods set forth above, Mitsui will be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to such offer. 2.5.2 The Transferor shall have the right for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the financial information described in the second to last sentence of Section 2.5.1 to accept the Mitsui Binding Offer. The Transferor’s right to accept the Mitsui Binding Offer shall be exercised by delivering written notice (the “Transferor Acceptance”) to such effect to Mitsui. The Transferor Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable commitment to Transfer the Proposed Securities to Mitsui at the price and on all other terms and conditions set forth in the Mitsui Binding Offer and in this Section 2.5. The failure of the Transferor to exercise its right to accept the Mitsui Binding Offer within such fifteen (15) calendar day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right to accept the Mitsui Binding Offer. 2.5.3 If the Transferor accepts the Mitsui Binding Offer, both the Transferor and Mitsui shall exercise their best efforts to cause the purchase and sale of the Proposed Securities to occur no later than twenty (20) Business Days following the Transferor Acceptance, which date may be extended by written agreement of both the Transferor and Mitsui, in the event of delay caused by, including, but not limited to, (i) action necessary by the Transferor to cause the sale, or (ii) action by any Government Authority but in any event will close within forty-five (45) Business Days. The Transferor and the Corporation shall cooperate with Mitsui in preparing any necessary filing with the Government Authority so that Mitsui can close within the period specified above. Such sale shall be effected by the Transferor’s delivery to Mitsui of certificates evidencing the Proposed Securities purchased, duly endorsed for Transfer, against payment to the Transferor of the purchase price therefor by Mitsui. Failure by Mitsui to close is a waiver of its rights hereunder. 2.5.4 If the Transferor rejects the Mitsui Binding Offer (or accepts the Mitsui Binding Offer as to a portion of the Proposed Securities) under this Section 2.5, and the Transferor elects to Transfer the Proposed Securities (or the rest of the Proposed Securities) to a Mitsui Competitor, the Transfer must be consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which the Request for Mitsui Offer was received by Mitsui, at a purchase price greater than the purchase price set forth in the Mitsui Offer and on other terms not more favorable to the transferee than the terms set forth in the Mitsui Binding Offer. 2.5.5 Prior to January 1, 2011, provided that a Qualified Public Offering has not yet been consummated, N&P and its Permitted Transferees shall not Transfer any of their Covered Securities to any of the Mitsui Competitors without the express prior written consent of Mitsui.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter (as selected by a majority-in-interest of the Demand Stockholders included in such Registration and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) advises the Corporation that the inclusion of all Registrable Shares and/or Primary Shares proposed to be included in such Registration would interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such Registration, then the number of Registrable Shares and/or Primary Shares proposed to be included in such Registration shall be included in the following order:
a) | first, the Demand Shares and any other Covered Securities owned by all Demand Stockholders based on their pro-rata percentages of Demand Shares and other Covered Securities requested to be Registered; and | ||

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Corporation at any time proposes for any reason to Register any of its Common Stock (either for its own account or the account of a security holder) on a form that would be suitable for a Registration involving Registrable Shares (except with respect to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor forms thereto), the Corporation will (i) promptly give each holder of Registrable Shares written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Corporation intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws) and (ii) include in such Registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance laws or regulations), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Shares specified in a written request delivered to the Corporation by any such Stockholder within thirty (30) days after delivery of such written notice from the Corporation. 4.2.2 Notice of Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. If the Registration of which the Corporation gives notice is for a Registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Corporation shall so advise holders of Registrable Shares as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 4.2.1 hereof. In such event, the right of any such Stockholder to Registration shall be conditioned upon such underwriting and the inclusion of such Stockholder’s Registrable Shares in such underwriting to the extent provided in this Section 4.2. All Stockholders proposing to distribute their Registrable Shares through such underwriting shall (together with the Corporation and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the underwriter’s representative for such offering. The Stockholders shall have no right to participate in the selection of the underwriters for an offering pursuant to this Section 4.2. 4.2.3 Marketing Limitation in Piggyback Registration. In the event the underwriter’s representative advises, in writing, the Corporation and Stockholders seeking Registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 4.2 that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Covered Securities to be underwritten, the underwriter’s representative (subject to the allocation priority set forth in Section 4.1.1.3 hereof) may: Brightstar Corp.

In the event that the underwriter’s representative limits the number of Covered Securities to be included in a Registration pursuant to Section 4.2.3 hereof, and such Registration is not a result of a Demand Notice, the Covered Securities (other than Registrable Shares) held by officers of the Corporation shall be excluded from such Registration and underwriting to the extent required by such limitation. If a limitation of the number of Covered Securities is still required after such exclusion, the number of Covered Securities that may be included in such Registration (which shall not be a result of a Demand Notice) and underwriting shall be included, subject to Section 4.2.3.2, in the following order: (i) first, the Primary Shares; (ii) second, the Registrable Shares; and (iii) third, all other Covered Securities held by the other Stockholders of the Corporation (or, if necessary, such Registrable Shares pro rata among the Stockholders thereof based upon the number of Registrable Shares requested to be registered by each such Stockholder). 4.2.5 Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration. If any holder of Registrable Shares disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Corporation and the underwriter’s representative delivered at least seven (7) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Shares or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such Registration. 4.3 Expenses of Registration.

All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Shares are called “Selling Expenses”. The Corporation will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with all Registration Statements under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof. All Selling Expenses in connection with each Registration Statement under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof shall be borne by the participating sellers including the Corporation in proportion to the number of Registrable Shares sold by each or as they may otherwise agree. 4.4 Registration Procedures and Obligations.

In connection with an underwritten offering, the Corporation will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Shares. 4.5.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a holder of Registrable Shares is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Corporation in writing such information and documents as the Corporation reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, its directors and officers and each other Person who controls the Corporation (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which the Corporation or any such director or officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or Brightstar Corp.

otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such holder will reimburse the Corporation and each such director, officer and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, but in each case such holder will have obligations under this Section only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Corporation by such holder expressly for use therein; provided, that the obligation to indemnify will be individual to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement. 4.5.3 Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, that the failure of any Person so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, that without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, no indemnifying party will effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such proceeding. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. 4.5.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the Transfer of securities by any holder thereof. Each indemnifying party also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event such indemnifying party’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
