                     AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS AMENDMENT NO. 5 (this "Amendment") TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of July 1, 1999, between Brightpoint, Inc., an
Indiana corporation (the "Employer" or the "Company"), and Steven E. Fivel (the
"Employee") is entered into as of April 7, 2005.

      WHEREAS, the Employer and the Employee have entered into an amended and
restated employment agreement dated as of July 1, 1999, as amended by those
certain amendments dated as of January 1, 2001, January 1, 2002, January 1, 2003
and January 1, 2004 (the "Employment Agreement");

      WHEREAS, the Employer and the Employee wish to amend certain sections of
the Employment Agreement as provided below;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual benefits and
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

      1.    Amendments.

            (a) Section III.A. of the Employment Agreement shall be amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

                  A. During the term of this Agreement, the Employer shall pay
            the Employee a salary (the "Salary") at a rate of $350,000 per annum
            in respect of each Employment Year, payable in equal monthly
            installments on the first day of each month, or at such other times
            as may mutually be agreed upon between the Employer and the
            Employee. Such Salary may be increased from time to time at the
            discretion of the Board.

            (b) The first sentence of Section IX(e) shall be amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

                In the event that the aggregate of all payments or benefits made
            or provided to the Employee under this Agreement and under all other
            plans, programs and arrangements of the Employer (the "Severance
            Total") is determined to constitute a "parachute payment," as such
            term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code
            of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then the Severance Total shall be
            increased by an amount (the "Increase") sufficient so that after the
            payment by the Employee of (A) any income taxes on the Increase and
            (B) any excise tax on the sum of (I) the Severance Total and (II)
            the Increase, the Employee shall have received an amount (net of
            such taxes) equal to the Severance Total.

                                      -1-

            (c) Section IX(h) of the Employment Agreement shall be amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

                  (h) (A) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, or (B) if
            in breach of this Agreement the Employer shall terminate the
            Employee's employment other than pursuant to Sections 6.2 or 6.3
            hereof (it being understood that a purported termination pursuant to
            Section 6.2 or 6.3 hereof which is disputed and finally determined
            not to have been proper shall be a termination by the Employer in
            breach of this Agreement), or (C) if the Employee shall terminate
            his employment for Good Reason at any time, then notwithstanding the
            vesting and exercisability schedule in any stock option or
            restricted stock award agreement relating to a regular, annual stock
            option or restricted stock award to the Employee, (x) all
            then-unvested stock options pursuant to such awards shall
            immediately vest and become exercisable and shall remain exercisable
            for 180 days thereafter (or the expiration of the term of the stock
            option, if shorter) and (y) all then-unvested shares of restricted
            stock pursuant to such awards shall immediately vest.

            (d) A new Section IX(i) shall be added to the Employment Agreement
as follows:

                  (i) Severance Cap.

                  (A) Notwithstanding Subsection 9(d)(ii) and Section 9(h)
            above, the total value to be received by the Employee due to the
            Severance Pay pursuant to Subsection 9(d)(ii) and the accelerated
            vesting pursuant to Section 9(h) (the "Accelerated Vesting") (such
            total value referred to herein as the "Total Severance Value") may
            not exceed $2.25 million (the "Severance Cap"). For the avoidance of
            doubt, any accelerated vesting of the restricted stock award granted
            to the Employee on April 7, 2005 and any Increase provided to the
            Employee pursuant to Section 9(e) hereof shall not count toward or
            be subject to the Severance Cap.

                  (B) For purposes of calculating the value of the Accelerated
            Vesting, (i) the value of the accelerated vesting of an option on a
            share of stock shall equal the result of the Fair Market Value (as
            defined in the Brightpoint, Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
            "Plan")) for such share of stock underlying the option on the date
            of the accelerated vesting less the strike price for such option (if
            such result is a negative number, the result shall be deemed to be
            zero) and (ii) the value of the accelerated vesting of a share of
            restricted stock shall equal the Fair Market Value for such share of
            stock on the date the vesting accelerates. In addition, if the
            Employee receives Accelerated Vesting upon a Change of

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

            Control, then, for purposes of calculating the Total Severance
            Value, any Accelerated Vesting and Severance Pay the Employee
            receives within the 12-month period following the Accelerated
            Vesting received upon the Change of Control shall each be added to
            calculate the Total Severance Value (with the value of each
            Accelerated Vesting and the Severance Pay to be at face value
            without adjustment for any time value of money). If elected by the
            Employee, the determination of whether the Total Severance Value
            exceeds the Severance Cap shall be made by a nationally recognized
            United States public accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm") jointly
            selected by the Employer and the Employee and paid by the Employer,
            with such determination following the valuation guidance provided in
            this Section 9(i). If the Employee and the Employer cannot agree on
            the firm to serve as the Accounting Firm, then the Employee and the
            Employer shall each select one accounting firm and those two firms
            shall jointly select the Accounting Firm. For the avoidance of
            doubt, any accelerated vesting of the restricted stock award granted
            to the Employee on April 7, 2005 shall not count toward or be
            subject to the Severance Cap.

                  (C) If a reduction in the Total Severance Value is required,
            then the Employee shall choose to either reduce the Severance Pay or
            to limit Accelerated Vesting, to the extend needed; provided,
            however, that if the Total Severance Value is the sum of Accelerated
            Vesting received upon a Change of Control and subsequent Accelerated
            Vesting and/or Severance Pay, the reduction chosen by the Employee
            may not affect the Accelerated Vesting received upon the Change of
            Control.

      2.    Miscellaneous.

            (a) This Amendment is a legal and binding obligation of the parties,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            (b) This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the
internal laws and not the choice of law provisions of the State of Indiana.

            (c) Except as specifically amended hereby, the Employment Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect. In the event the terms of the Employment
Agreement conflict with this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall
control.

            (d) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Amendment contains the
entire understanding between the parties, and there are no other agreements or
understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No
alteration or modification hereof shall be valid except by a subsequent written
instrument executed by the parties hereto.

                                      -3-

            (e) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts,
and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all
such counterparts together shall constitute only one agreement. Any facsimile of
this Amendment shall be considered an original document.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has duly executed this
Amendment No. 5 to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement as of the date
first set forth above.

                                BRIGHTPOINT, INC.

                                  AGREEMENT FOR
                    SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT BENEFIT

      THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 7th day of April, 2005 by and between
Robert J. Laikin (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
upon the later of his Date of Termination (as such term is defined in that
certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of July 1, 1999
between the Executive and the Company, as it may be amended from time to time
(the "Employment Agreement")) or his attainment of age 50 (the applicable date
the "Payment Start Date"), an annual amount (the "Supplemental Retirement
Benefit") calculated and paid pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

      2. CALCULATION OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT. The Supplemental
Retirement Benefit shall equal the product of (A) the Gross Benefit as defined
in subsection 2(a) below, multiplied by (B) the Early Commencement Percent
defined in subsection 2(d) below:

            (a) GROSS BENEFIT. The Gross Benefit shall equal an annual
single-life annuity payment equal to the product of the Accrual Percentage (as
calculated in accordance with subsection 2(b) below) multiplied by the Final
Average Earnings (as defined in subsection 2(c) below).

            (b) ACCRUAL PERCENTAGE. The Accrual Percentage shall equal the
lesser of (A) the sum of (i) through (v) below, and (B) 50%:

                  (i) 10%; plus

                  (ii) 2%, if the Executive is employed by the Company on June
      30, 2005; plus

                  (iii) 4% for each full Year (as defined below) the Executive
      is employed by the Company from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2010; plus

                  (iv) 2% for each full Year the Executive is employed by the
      Company from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2014; plus

                  (v) 1% for each full Year the Executive is employed by the
      Company thereafter.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Year" means the twelve-month period commencing
each July 1 and ending each June 30.
<PAGE>
            (c) FINAL AVERAGE EARNINGS. The Executive's Final Average Earnings
for purposes of subsection 2(a) 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).

            (d) 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 62nd birthday (designed to be a 3% discount for each full
      twelve-month period the Payment Start Date precedes the Executive's 62nd
      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 in the form of a single-life
annuity for the Executive's lifetime, in the amount determined pursuant to
Section 2 above. Such annuity 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,
annuity 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 payments of
the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be payable for any calendar month
commencing after the date of the Executive's death.

                                       2
<PAGE>
      5. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. If the Executive's employment with the Company
is terminated by the Company for Cause (as such term is defined in the
Employment Agreement), then the Payment Start Date shall be the Executive's 62nd
birthday.

      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.

                                       3
