                                    AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 31st day of October, 1996, by and
between CHS ELECTRONICS, INC., a Florida corporation, with its principal office
at 2153 N.W. 86th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33122 ("CHS") and COMTRAD, INC., a
Florida corporation, with its principal office at 3620 N.E. Miami Place, Miami,
Florida 33137 ("Comtrad").

                                    RECITALS:

         A.     CHS, Comtrad and Comtrad Holdings, Inc. are parties to a Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of March 27, 1996 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement")
pursuant to which CHS purchased from Comtrad the issued and outstanding shares
of CHS Romania s.r.l., a company formed under the laws of the country of Romania
("Romania").

         B.     Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Comtrad made various
representations and warranties with respect to Romania.

         C.     Pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
representations and warranties of Comtrad with respect to Romania survived the
signing and delivery of the Purchase and Sale Agreement for a period of three
years and, pursuant to said Section, Comtrad agreed to indemnify CHS from and
against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences (as said term is defined
therein) that CHS might suffer resulting from a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties.

         D.     CHS has advised Comtrad of such a breach and has made a claim
for indemnification pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

         E.     The parties desire to resolve any disputes which may have arisen
with respect to said claims.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, CHS shall
deliver, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, stock certificates
representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Romania. Such
certificates shall be accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank.

         2. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Comtrad
shall pay to CHS the amount of Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars
($375,000) representing the portion of the total purchase price paid by CHS to
Comtrad under the Agreement allocated to the purchase of Romania. In addition,
contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Comtrad shall pay to CHS
the amount of One Hundred Forty-Eight Thousand Dollars ($148,000), said amount
representing the losses incurred by Romania from the date of the Stock Purchase
Agreement through October 31, 1996 (A) increased by the amount of any funds
advanced by loan or investment by CHS to Romania and (B) decreased by the amount
of (i) any

loans or advances from Romania to CHS and (ii) any dividends or other
distributions with respect to the capital stock.

         3. The parties acknowledge that it remains their intent to transfer
ownership of Romania to CHS and Comtrad therefore agrees that it shall use its
best efforts to resolve all matters with respect to which CHS has made claim for
indemnification and that immediately upon resolution of the same, it will notify
CHS. The parties further agree that CHS is hereby granted, until October 31,
1998, the right to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Romania,
free and clear of any claims, charges, equities, liens, security interests and
encumbrances whatsoever, at a price of Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars ($375,000). Comtrad further agrees that from and after the date of this
Agreement, it shall not convey ownership of any equity interest in Romania to
any person nor shall it grant to any person the right to obtain any such
interest. Comtrad further agrees to cause Romania to maintain its rights and
properties intact, subject only to the right of sale of goods and services in
the ordinary course of business and to the obligation of Comtrad to correct the
matters as to which CHS has made claim for indemnification. Comtrad agrees that
in the event that CHS exercises the option to purchase the shares of Romania,
said transfer will be subject to appropriate documentation including, but not
limited to, the representations and warranties with respect to Romania made in
Article II of the Stock Purchase Agreement updated, mutatis mutandis, through
the date of the purchase.

         4. BROKERS. The parties agree that there were no finders or brokers
involved in bringing the parties together or who were instrumental in the
negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement. The parties each agree
to indemnify the other against any claim by any person for any commission,
brokerage or finders' fee arising from the transactions contemplated hereby
based on any alleged agreement or understanding between the indemnifying party
and such person, whether express or implied from the actions of the indemnifying
party.

         5. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, enforced and
construed under and in accordance with the laws of the United States of America
