Re: Navarre Corporation Stock Option Acceleration effective March 20, 2006
This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is being entered into by and between you and Navarre
Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), in connection with certain of your
outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (each, an “Underwater Stock
Option”) previously granted to you pursuant to the Company’s 1992 Stock Option Plan and the 2004
Stock Plan, as applicable (each, a “Plan”), as identified on Exhibit A attached hereto, which are
currently underwater.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company have determined to fully
accelerate the vesting of each Underwater Stock Option listed on Exhibit A so that each Stock
Option is exercisable in its entirety on and after March 20, 2006. As a condition of
acceleration, the Company is requiring each executive officer and non-employee director of the
Company to agree to refrain from selling, transferring, pledging, or otherwise disposing of any
shares of the Company’s common stock acquired upon any exercise of an Underwater Stock Option
(other than sales by the holder to fund the exercise price of the Underwater Stock Option or to
satisfy minimum statutory withholding on such an exercise, in each case in accordance with the
applicable Plan and the Company’s existing policies and procedures) until the date on which the
exercise would have been permitted under the Underwater Stock Option’s pre-acceleration vesting
terms or, if earlier, the date of the officer’s termination of employment or the director’s
termination of service with the Company (the “Lock-up Restrictions”).
Therefore, in order to induce the Company to accelerate the Underwater Stock Options, the
undersigned hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Company, that the undersigned will adhere to the
Lock-up Restrictions.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that he or she has full power and authority to
enter into this Agreement, and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional
documents necessary or desirable in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. All
authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the
undersigned and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal
representatives, successors, and assigns of the undersigned.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original but all of which together will constitute one instrument.
