          (e) Purchaser’s obligations under the Note and this Section 3.5 are intended to be and shall be subject to the provisions set forth in that certain Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Seller, Purchaser, Navarre and Xxxxx Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (f/k/a Xxxxx Fargo Foothill, LLC) (“Xxxxx Fargo”), relating to an existing credit facility evidenced by that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2009, by and between Navarre and Xxxxx Fargo, as agent and for certain lenders executing the same.

- 12 -

with GAAP and using the same accounting principles, procedures, policies and methods employed in preparing the Financial Documents to the extent not inconsistent with GAAP.

          (b) Not more than seven (7) Business Days nor less than three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a separate report (the “Estimated Working Capital Report”) setting forth the estimated Net Working Capital as of 12:01 a.m. as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”).

If (i) the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis at Closing by the amount of such excess, or (ii) the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis at Closing by the amount of such deficiency.

          (c) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Seller a separate report (the “Closing Working Capital Report”) setting forth the actual Net Working Capital as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Closing Net Working Capital”).

Seller shall, not later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Closing Working Capital Report, deliver a report thereon (the “Seller’s Net Working Capital Report”) to Purchaser.

The Seller’s Net Working Capital Report shall list those items included in the Closing Working Capital Report, if any, to which Seller takes exception and Seller’s proposed adjustment. If Seller fails to deliver to Purchaser the Seller’s Net Working Capital Report within fifteen (15) calendar days following its receipt of the Closing Working Capital Report or does not set forth any exceptions, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Working Capital Report for the purposes of any adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 3.6(d) and for all other purposes of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not give Seller notice of its objections to the Seller’s Net Working Capital Report within fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the Seller’s Net Working Capital Report, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Working Capital Report as adjusted by Seller in the Seller’s Net Working Capital Report for the purposes of any adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 3.6(d) and for all other purposes of this Agreement. If Purchaser gives Seller notice of its objections to the Seller’s Net Working Capital Report, and if Purchaser and Seller are unable, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt by Seller of the notice from Purchaser of its objections, to resolve the disputed exceptions, such disputed exceptions will be referred to an Independent Accounting Firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller. The Independent Accounting Firm shall, within forty-five (45) days following its selection, deliver to Purchaser and Seller a written report determining such disputed exceptions (and only such disputed exceptions), and its determinations will be conclusive and

binding upon the parties thereto for the purposes of any adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 3.6(d) and for all other purposes of this Agreement. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm acting under this Section 3.6(c) shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based on the total dollar value of disputed exceptions resolved in favor of each such party, with each such party bearing such percentage of the fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm as the aggregate disputed exceptions resolved against that party bears to the total dollar value of all disputed exceptions considered by the Independent Accounting Firm.

          (d) Post-Closing Adjustment.

          (i) If the Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined under Section 3.6(c), is more than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall, within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 3.6(c), and based upon such final determination, pay to Seller the amount of such excess in cash. Any payment by Purchaser to Seller under this Section 3.6(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Seller shall designate in writing to Purchaser.

          (ii) If the Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined under Section 3.6(c), is less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 3.6(c), and based upon such final determination, pay to Purchaser the amount of such deficiency in the form of a deduction from any outstanding balance due on the Note (it being understood that in the event of any dispute pursuant to Section 3.6(c) Purchaser shall remain obligated to timely pay in accordance with the payment terms contained in the Note the difference between any amount in dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice and the amount then due to Seller under the Note).

          (iii) In addition, any outstanding principal balance on all Acquired Receivables, net of any reserves for doubtful or uncollectible accounts, included in the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital other than Acquired Receivables due from Navarre or its Affiliates or customers thereof (the “Navarre Receivables”) and not collected during the term of the Note other than upon the exercise of any right of return in the ordinary course of business, shall be deducted from the outstanding balance due on the Note on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note). Purchaser and Navarre shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all such Acquired Receivables.

3.7 Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including financial accounting and Tax purposes) in connection with the determination of Seller’s Net Working Capital on the Closing Date as provided in Section 3.6 above. Purchaser shall deliver its allocation of the Purchase Price within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date. To the extent Seller agrees with Purchaser’s allocation, it shall report such allocation consistently for all Tax purposes. Seller and Purchaser will cooperate with each other in filing any returns or reports required to be filed by each of them under Legal Requirements with respect to such allocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any applicable Taxing authority

takes a position in connection with an audit of any Tax return of Purchaser or Seller or otherwise that is inconsistent with any allocation on the allocation determined as provided herein, the parties shall take an appropriate defensive position with respect to such allocation until the controversy is finally determined.

Seller shall be liable for any claims made or incurred by Transitioning Employees and their beneficiaries through the Closing Date under the Benefit Plans.

For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a claim will be deemed incurred, in the case of hospital, medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed and, in the case of other benefits (such as disability or life insurance), when an event has occurred or when a condition has been diagnosed that entitles the employee to the benefit.

reasonable circumstances to personnel, premises, properties, assets, books and records, contracts and documents pertaining to the Business or the Purchased Assets in connection with Seller’s preparation of Tax returns.

Seller shall cooperate in any reasonable manner in connection with obtaining any such required consents; provided that such cooperation shall not include any requirement of Seller to expend money, commence any arbitration proceeding or litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party.

ARTICLE 8.
INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification by Seller. After the Closing, Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the (“Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Seller against any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties, including related attorney and consultant fees and expenses (hereinafter collectively a “Loss”), actually suffered or incurred by them, arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) the inaccuracy of any representation(s) or warranty(ies) made by Seller in the Transaction Documents, (b) the breach by Seller of any of its covenants or agreements in the Transaction Documents and (c) any Liability of Seller not expressly constituting an Assumed Liability (except to the extent the same are subject to a good faith dispute).

8.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. After the Closing, Seller, its Affiliates and their respective managers, members, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by Purchaser against any and all Losses actually directly incurred by them arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) the inaccuracy of any representation(s) or warranty(ies) made by Purchaser in the Transaction Documents, (b) the breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements in the Transaction Documents, (c) failure to pay Assumed Liabilities (except to

- 28 -

the extent the same are subject to a good faith dispute) or (d) the operation of the Business by Purchaser after the Closing Date.

8.3 Certain Limitations on Damages; Mitigation.

          (a) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Losses for which Purchaser or Seller shall be entitled to indemnification shall not include consequential, indirect or punitive damages regardless of the form of the claim or action, except to the extent such damages are payable by Purchaser in respect of third party claims.

          (b) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses for which it may seek indemnification under this Agreement. Losses for which Purchaser or Seller shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 shall be reduced by the amount of (i) any Tax benefits realized as a result thereof or (ii) insurance proceeds and other third party recoveries actually received by such party in respect thereof (net of the out-of-pocket cost of recovery thereof) provided that Purchaser shall have no affirmative obligation to file any claim under any insurance policy to recover such Loss(es) with respect to claims related to Intellectual Property Rights.

8.4 Claim Procedures. Any party seeking indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of the Transaction Documents upon which such claim is based; provided that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced. Any indemnification payment under this Article 8 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes. After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article 8 shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) if the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party have not otherwise agreed upon the amount of indemnification due the Indemnified Party within ninety (90) days of the giving of such Claim Notice, such Claim will be resolved by a court as provided in Section 9.4.

8.5 Notice and Opportunity to Defend. The Indemnified Party shall promptly, and in all events within ninety (90) days of obtaining actual knowledge thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party of the existence of any claim, demand or other matter requiring a defense to which the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article 8 would apply. The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to defend the claim, demand or matter at the Indemnifying Party’s own expense and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall at all times also have the right to fully participate in the defense at its sole cost and expense. Any such claim, demand or other matter shall not be settled or compromised without the consent of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall, within a reasonable time after receipt of notice, fail to defend, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense, and to compromise or settle, exercising reasonable business judgment, the claim, demand or other matter on behalf, for the account and at the risk of the Indemnifying

- 29 -

Party and shall provide notice of the terms of any judgment or settlement to the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) days thereof. If the claim is one that cannot by its nature be defended solely by the Indemnifying Party (including any federal or state Tax proceeding), the Indemnified Party shall make available, or cause to be made available, all information that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.

8.6 Set-Off. Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, and upon providing a fifteen (15) day period to cure the breach resulting therefrom, Purchaser may set off any amount which it is actually entitled to under this Article 8 against amounts otherwise payable to Seller in respect of the Note or the Earn Out Payments by deducting such amounts from the outstanding balance due on the Note or the amount of the Earn Out Payments due. The exercise of such right of setoff by Purchaser in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute default or breach of any Transaction Document.

8.7 Sole Remedy; Equitable Relief. From and after the Closing, except in the case of fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any matter related to, connected with or arising or resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents shall be the right to indemnification provide by this Article 8; provided, however, that the parties may enforce the Transaction Documents by injunctive or other equitable relief to be issued by or against the other parties, it being understood that both damages and specific performance will be proper modes of relief and are not to be understood as alternative remedies.

8.8 Limitation of Indemnification Obligations. The parties agree that the obligations of Seller to indemnify Purchaser from damages arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty as described in Sections 8.1(a) shall (A) become operative after the aggregate amount of all claims for indemnification under said Section 8.1(a) exceeds One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Indemnification Basket”) and in the event that the aggregate amount of such indemnification claims exceeds the Indemnification Basket, Seller shall be liable for such claims solely to the extent in excess of the Indemnification Basket; and the aggregate maximum Liability of Seller under Article 8 shall be limited to the Note, the Escrow Amount and the Earn Out Payments and Purchaser’s sole recourse shall be a right of set-off against the Note and the Earn Out Payments and claims against the Escrow Amount.
