(c) "Navarre Payments" shall mean all payments due Navarre from NetRadio
based on the pricing list and payment schedule set forth on the

time to time, and such updates shall be a part of this Agreement
within [60] days after Navarre's delivery to NetRadio of an updated
Exhibit A.
(d) "Term" shall mean the term of this Agreement [which shall be for
approximately five (5) years] beginning on the date of this Agreement
and ending on December 1, 2003. Thereafter, the Agreement shall
automatically renew for successive [one (1)] year periods unless
sooner terminated by one or the other of the parties in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement.
(e) "User(s)" shall mean those individuals or entities who sign on to a

(f) "SCICOM" shall mean the company that provides Management Information

2. GRANT.
(a) BASIC AGREEMENT. NetRadio and Navarre agree to develop a computer
interface for the purposes of conducting small order music product
transactions via on-line retail stores. NetRadio has built and will
maintain Online Retail Websites. NetRadio will also conduct all
marketing and merchandising efforts, collect orders and send such
orders to Navarre via Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI"). Navarre
will be responsible for picking, packing and shipping orders directly
to NetRadio's customers. Navarre hereby accepts such grant and agrees
to fulfill such orders as set forth herein.
(b) INTERNET FULFILLMENT. During the term of this Agreement, Navarre
agrees that it will not provide Internet fulfillment of Products for
any other exclusive Internet company; provided, however, that Navarre
reserves the right to provide Internet fulfillment for any current or
prospective retail customer of Navarre that also buys audio CD product
from Navarre for its retail sales establishments. If Navarre does
provide such Internet fulfillment, it will be at a pricing schedule
equal to or higher than the prices then charged to NetRadio.

--------------------------------
Certain information has been omitted from this exhibit
and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a request
for confidential treatment under Rule 406
(c) COMPLIANCE. NetRadio and Navarre agree to implement such practices and
procedures as are necessary to assure the compliance of either party,
or any division thereof, with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
(d) SET UP. Navarre will provide database and technical assistance to
NetRadio for the testing of NetRadio's EDI transmission of orders to
Navarre's inventory and IT system.
(e) ADVERTISING REVENUE. NetRadio will procure co-op advertising revenue
from media software manufacturers. Navarre will administer co-op funds
for all NetRadio Retail Website co-op advertising programs from labels
distributed by Navarre. In exchange for co-op administration services,
Navarre will receive a 15% commission for such services performed on
labels distributed by Navarre.
(f) "FIRST-CHOICE SUPPLIER". Navarre will be a "First-Choice" supplier of
Products and related order fulfillment services for NetRadio Retail
Websites; provided, however, that NetRadio may utilize third party
fulfillment sources for any Products not available through Navarre.
The mutual goal for NetRadio and Navarre will be to provide a
competitive range of products, at a competitive retail price, for all
NetRadio Retail Websites and be competitive with industry benchmarks
for fulfillment, delivery, and service. First-Choice is defined as
follows:
NetRadio's e-commerce engine will search the Navarre database
system for immediate availability of Product inventory before any
other fulfillment source is used. If Navarre's database indicates
that inventory is available, Navarre shall notify NetRadio in
writing within 24 hours if for any reason such inventory is not
immediately available for shipment. If Navarre has current
inventory, and the lowest cost per item, for the selected
product, Navarre will receive the purchase order via EDI from
NetRadio. If Navarre does not carry current inventory for the
selected product, NetRadio will then search secondary fulfillment
sources for inventory availability. In the case of a multiple
unit order, Navarre must be able to fulfill all items on a
multiple-unit order, at the lowest cost per item, to avoid a
duplication of shipping costs to NetRadio (by using multiple
fulfillment sources to fulfill one transaction). If Navarre
cannot fulfill all items for a multiple unit order, NetRadio's
e-commerce engine will search for a secondary fulfillment source
that can fill all items on the purchase order.

3. ORDER PROCEDURE.
(a) FULFILLMENT. The following sets forth NetRadio's service requirements
from Navarre's fulfillment and warehouse operational systems:
(i) STANDARD. Standard orders are defined as orders shipped
domestically and internationally via carriers other than
overnight carriers (FedEx, UPS Overnight, Airborne Express,
etc.). On any business day that Navarre receives standard orders
by 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time ("CST"), it will ship the
orders the same business day. Standard orders received after 1:00
p.m. CST will be deemed received the next business day and
Navarre will ship these orders the next business day. Orders from
NetRadio retail Websites will be transmitted via EDI every hour.
The fulfillment goal for standard shipments for United States
orders shall be shipment to the customer within three (3)
business days from receipt of the order at NetRadio. The
fulfillment goal for international order delivery is to have
Products arrive within seven (7) to ten (10) business day from
the receipt of the order.
(ii) PRIORITY. Priority orders are defined as orders shipped
domestically via Federal Express, UPS overnight or 2 Day or
Airborne Express. Priority orders received on any business day by
11:00 a.m. CST will be shipped on the same day. Orders received
after 11:00 a.m. CST will be shipped the following business day.
(iii) PEAK PERIODS. The first day of a business week and any day on
which order volume is greater than 20% above average (calculated
on a floating 30-day basis) is defined as a "Peak Period."
Navarre shall use best efforts to (a) notify NetRadio in advance
of any seasonal or other anticipated Peak Periods and (b) adhere
to the fulfillment policies set forth above during Peak Periods,
but its failure to so adhere during Peak Periods shall not be
considered a default under this Agreement.
(iv) PRE-ORDERS. NetRadio shall collect pre-orders until five (5)
business days prior to the date that a new release title is first
to be made available to consumers (the "street date"), at which
point such pre-orders will be forwarded in a separate batch-EDI
to Navarre on the date and time of day required by Navarre.
Navarre shall ship all pre-
-4-
EXHIBIT 10.10 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
--------------------------------
Certain information has been omitted from this exhibit
and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a request
for confidential treatment under Rule 406
orders no later than street date minus one day, provided Navarre
has received the new release title(s) from the label/distributor
of such new release(s) in time for processing. If a street date
is delayed, NetRadio will be responsible for holding the
pre-orders until five (5) days before the new street date.
(v) BACK-ORDERS. NetRadio may elect to have Navarre hold an order
that has one or more items out of stock (only if secondary
fulfillment sources are also out of stock) until it is completely
fulfilled by typing a "Y" in the "ship complete" field of the EDI
inbound specifications. NetRadio may inform Navarre from time to
time of the number of days, up to a maximum of 30 days (the
"Back-Order Period"), that Navarre is to hold such "ship
complete" orders before shipping the available Products and
canceling the out of stock Products. In the event that all
Products included in an order are out of stock, and secondary
fulfillment sources cannot ship an order, Navarre will hold the
order for a 30 day period before canceling the order (subject to
prior cancellation of such order by NetRadio).
(vi) INVENTORY. Navarre will provide NetRadio with inventory updates
on an hourly basis via File Transfer Protocol ("FTP"). This FTP
update should occur during Navarre business hours, second shifts,
and any time that SCICOM updates the Navarre inventory database.
Since the NetRadio Retail Websites are open 24 hours a day and
seven days a week, this information is vital for timely, accurate
information for NetRadio customers. NetRadio will e-mail
customers with information on inventory availability. NetRadio
customers will have the option of canceling an order that cannot
be fulfilled, or choosing to elect an option of waiting no longer
than 30 days for the back-ordered Product to be fulfilled. In
addition, if Navarre's record keeping is inaccurate and/or
Navarre cannot ship requested inventory within 24 hours, NetRadio
shall be entitled to use alternative fulfillment sources.
(vii) LABELS; PACKING SLIPS. At the request and with the approval of
NetRadio, Navarre will create customer mailing labels AND packing
slips with NetRadio Retail Website logos for all orders shipped
from Navarre.

--------------------------------
Certain information has been omitted from this exhibit
and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a request

(viii) PACKAGING. Navarre will strive for the highest quality of
package presentation for all items fulfilled by Navarre. This
includes, but is not limited to (1) cardboard box packaging for
all configurations for media software, (2) even alignment of the
mailing label on the top of the carton, (3) even alignment of
sealing tape on the shipping carton, (4) the packing list shall
be neatly folded and placed INSIDE of the carton, (5) packaging
shall be consistent with other, leading Online Retail Websites.
This will help maintain the consumer perception that NetRadio
Retail Websites are of the highest quality and consistent with
industry benchmarks.
(ix) NAVARRE PAYMENTS. At the end of each month, NetRadio shall
transfer the Navarre Payments for Product orders for the month to
the Navarre account designated for this purpose by Navarre.
Calculations of the Navarre Payment due each month shall be based
on the total Navarre Product orders completed at the prices
calculated in accordance with the pricing sheet attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit A.
(x) MONTHLY REPORTS. NetRadio and Navarre shall compare and deliver
to the other party summary reports of Product transactions each
month within 15 days of the end of each calendar month. These
reports will verify and confirm that unit sales and costs are
accurate and the respective sales reporting systems are in synch.
4. PRODUCT RETURNS.
(a) RETURN POLICY. Navarre will re-fulfill orders to NetRadio's customers
at no additional fulfillment or return processing costs to NetRadio
for returnable Product, under the following circumstances:
(i) Items reported as missing by the consumer that were listed on the
invoice as fulfilled;
(ii) Items returned as incorrect items shipped (items included in the
package that were not listed on the invoice); and

requiring the commission of any act contrary to the law. Whenever
there is any conflict between any provisions of this Agreement and any
