     THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 6th day of May, 2009 by and
between Anthony W. Boor (the “Executive”) and Brightpoint, Inc., an Indiana
corporation (the “Company”).
     1. Eligibility for Supplemental Retirement Benefit. In addition to any
amounts that may be payable to the Executive pursuant to any other compensation
or benefit plan or program maintained by the Company to which the Executive may
be entitled, subject to Section 5 below, the Company shall pay to the Executive
beginning upon his Date of Termination (as such term is defined in that certain
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of May 6, 2009 between the
Executive and the Company, as it may be amended from time to time (the
“Employment Agreement”)) (the applicable date the “Payment Start Date”), an
annual amount (the “Supplemental Retirement Benefit”) calculated and paid
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, the
payment period described in Section 3 below.
     2. Calculation of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit.
          (a) Formula. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall equal the
lesser of:
          (i) $344,000 and
          (ii) the product of (A) the Gross Benefit as defined in subsection
2(b) below, multiplied by (B) the Early Commencement Percent defined in
subsection 2(e) below:
          (b) Gross Benefit. The Gross Benefit shall equal an annual payment
equal to the product of the Accrual Percentage (as calculated in accordance with
subsection 2(c) below) multiplied by the Final Average Earnings (as defined in
subsection 2(d) below).
          (c) Accrual Percentage. The Accrual Percentage shall equal the sum of
(i) 12%, (ii) 2% multiplied by each Year for which the Executive is employed by
the Company during the calendar years 2009 through 2014 and (iii) 4% multiplied
by each Year for which the Executive is employed by the Company during any
calendar year subsequent to 2014; provided, however, that under no circumstances
shall the Accrual Percentage exceed 60%. For purposes of this Agreement, “Year”
means the calendar year commencing with the calendar year 2009 and does not
include any calendar year prior to 2009.
          (d) Final Average Earnings. The Executive’s Final Average Earnings for
purposes of subsection 2(b) above shall equal the quotient of (i) the sum of
(A) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary (as defined below) for the 5 Years prior
to the Executive’s Date of Termination plus (B) the Executive’s target cash
bonus with respect to the calendar year ending in each such Year
(notwithstanding when such bonus is paid or payable and specifically excluding
any equity-based awards), divided by (ii) 5. “Annual Base Salary” shall mean the

base rate of cash compensation payable by the Company to or for the benefit of
the Executive for services rendered, including base pay the Executive could have
received in cash in lieu of deferrals pursuant to any non-qualified deferred
compensation plan or pursuant to any pre-tax contribution made on the
Executive’s behalf to any qualified plan maintained by the Company pursuant to a
cash or deferred arrangement (as defined under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), under any cafeteria plan (as
defined under Section 125 of the Code) or under a qualified transportation
fringe benefit (as defined under Section 132(f) of the Code).
          (e) Early Commencement Percent. The Early Commencement Percent shall
equal the result of:
          (i) 100%, less
          (ii) the product of .25% for each full calendar month the Payment
Start Date precedes the calendar month in which occurs the Executive’s 60th
birthday (designed to be a 3% discount for each full twelve-month period the
Payment Start Date precedes the Executive’s 60th birthday, with monthly
pro-ration for any period of less than twelve months).
     3. Form of Payment of Supplemental Retirement Benefit. The Supplemental
Retirement Benefit payable hereunder shall be paid for a ten-year period or, if
earlier, through the date of the Executive’s death, in an annual amount
determined pursuant to Section 2 above. Payment shall commence effective on the
Payment Start Date, with payments to be made monthly in arrears as of the first
of each month. To the extent required for compliance with the terms of Code
Section 409A, payments shall not be made during a period immediately following
the Date of Termination (the “Delay Period”) and, on the first business day
immediately following the Delay Period (the “Catch-Up Payment Date”) the
Executive shall receive a lump-sum payment equal to the total of the payments
that would have otherwise been made during the Delay Period plus simple interest
on each such payment for the period from the date such payment would otherwise
have been made to the Catch-Up Payment Date, with such interest at a rate equal
to 1% over the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal (U.S. Edition)
as of the Date of Termination or, if the Wall Street Journal is not published on
such date, the next following date that The Wall Street Journal is published.
     4. Survivor Benefit. If the Executive dies prior to his Date of
Termination, then no Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be paid. If Executive
dies while receiving the Supplemental Retirement Benefit, then no Supplemental
Retirement Benefit shall be payable for any days after the date of the
Executive’s death.
     5. Termination for Cause. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is
terminated by the Company for Cause then no Supplemental Retirement Benefit
shall be paid..
     6. Withholding. All payments provided for in this Agreement shall be
subject to applicable withholding and other deductions as shall be required of
the Company under any applicable federal, state or local law.

     7. Unsecured General Creditor. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no
action taken pursuant to its provisions by the Company or any person, shall
create, nor be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between the Company and the Executive or any other person. The
payments to the Executive hereunder shall be made from assets which shall
continue, for all purposes, to be a part of the general, unrestricted assets of
the Company. No person shall have nor acquire any interest in any such assets by
virtue of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company’s obligation hereunder
shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. To the
extent that the Executive acquires a right to receive payments from the Company
under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of
any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
     8. General Provisions.
          (a) Enforceability. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, the
validity, interpretation, construction and enforceability of this Agreement
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Indiana, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule. The invalidity
or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect.
          (b) Modification, Amendment, Waiver. No modification or amendment of
any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless approved in writing by
both parties. Either party’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any
provision hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or any
other provision hereof.
          (c) Headings. The heading and section or subsection designations of
this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and shall in no
event be construed to define or limit any provisions of this Agreement.
          (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same document. Any facsimile of this
Agreement shall be considered an original document.
          (e) Successors. The Company will require any successor (whether direct
or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree
to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place.
