THIS AGREEMENT dated 18th January, 2002 is made


BETWEEN

1.   BRIGHTPOINT INTERNATIONAL (ASIA PACIFIC) PTE. LTD., a company incorporated
     in Singapore and having its registered office at Donaldson & Burkinshaw, 24
     Raffles Place #15-00, Clifford Centre, Singapore 048621 (the "Vendor")

2.   CHINATRON GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED, a company incorporated in Hong Kong and
     having its registered office at Suite 805, Nine Queens Road, Central, Hong
     Kong (the "Purchaser")

WHEREAS by a sale and purchase agreement for up to 80% of the share capital of
Brightpoint China Limited between the parties hereto and dated 2nd October,
2001, amongst other things the Vendor granted to the Purchaser an option to
acquire the Option Shares and the parties wish to clarify their intentions in
relation to the Exercise Price by amending that agreement

IT IS HEREBY AGREED:

1.   INTERPRETATION

     In this Agreement:-

     "Sale and Purchase Agreement" means the sale and purchase agreement
     referred to in the recital hereto; and

     terms defined in the Sale and Purchase Agreement are used with those
     defined meanings (both in this Agreement and in the recital hereto).


2.   AMENDMENT

     In the Sale and Purchase Agreement:-

(A)  the definition of "Exercise Price" is hereby deleted and replaced by the
     following:-

     "Exercise Price" "US$10,000,000 (to be satisfied by the issue of the Option
     Preference Shares) plus such further sums as may be payable pursuant to
     Clause 8.02";

(B)  Clause 8.2 is hereby deleted and replaced by the following:-

     "8.2(a) The Vendor shall on exercise of the Option sell or procure the sale
     of the Option Shares and the Purchaser shall purchase the Option Shares,
     free from all rights of pre-emption, options, liens, claims, equities,
     charges, mortgages, pledges and encumbrances or third party rights of
     whatsoever nature and with all rights attached,
<PAGE>
     accrued or accruing or becoming attached thereto on and after date of such
     exercise at the Exercise Price, payable as to the first US$10,000,000
     thereof not in cash but instead by the issue of Option Preference Shares
     upon Option Completion and as to the balance (calculated pursuant to Clause
     8.2(b) in cash).

     8.02(b) In addition to the sum of US$10,000,000 referred to in Clause 8.02,
     the Purchaser shall, as part of the Exercise Price, pay to the Vendor an
     additional sum calculated by applying the formula:-

     D x N  where:
        ---
        365

     "N" is, in respect of any financial year (or part thereof) of the Company
     is prior to Option Completion, the number of days up to and excluding the
     date on which the Option Shares are transferred at Option Completion; and

     "D" is the amount of any dividend declared in respect of that financial
     year and attributable to the Option Shares that is not or was not paid by
     the Company to the Vendor prior to Option Completion.

     This additional sum shall become due and payable by the Purchaser to the
     Vendor forthwith upon the dividend being declared by the Company in respect
     of the relevant financial year being paid by the Company and should be paid
     within 5 days thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged
     that the payments pursuant to this Clause 8.2(b) may not become payable to
     the Vendor for several months after Option Completion but the Vendor shall
     not as a result be entitled to any interest thereof."

     If (a) the Company reports distributable gains or profits in respect of any
     financial year referred to in the definition of "N" above and (b) does not
     declare a dividend of at least 50% thereof, then all dividend(s) declared
     after the adoption of its audited accounts for the year in question shall
     be deemed declared in respect of that financial year until the Purchaser
     has received a sum pursuant to this Clause 8.02(b) equal to that part 50%
     of the distributable gains or profits for the relevant year, multiplied by
     N/365 attributable to the Option Shares.
