into as of December 29, 2011, by and among the Lenders identified on the
signature pages hereof (such Lenders, together with their respective successors
and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a
Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders“), WELLS FARGO CAPITAL
FINANCE, LLC, formerly known as Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, as the arranger and administrative agent for the Lenders (in
such capacity, “Agent“) and NAVARRE CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation
(“Borrower“).

WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent, and Lenders are parties to that certain Credit
Agreement dated as of November 12, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented
from time to time, the “Credit Agreement“);

WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, Borrower, Agent and Lenders have
agreed to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects (including, without
limitation, to extend the maturity date thereof from November 12, 2012 to the
date that is 5 years from the date of this Amendment);

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

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms
used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.

2. Amendments to Credit Agreement: Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 5 below, in reliance upon the
representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 6 below,
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in the following respects:

(a) The following new Section 2.14 is added to the Credit Agreement:

2.14. Increase in Revolver Commitments.

(a) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default and subject to the
prior written consent of Agent (which may be provided or withheld in Agent153s
sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, and absent which
any notice from Borrower described below shall be void and of no force and
effect), the Borrower may, from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, upon
written notice to the Agent (whereupon Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to
each of the Lenders), request up to four (4) increases (in minimum increments of
$5,000,000), not to exceed $20,000,000 in the aggregate to the Maximum Revolver
Amount (any such increase, each a “Revolver Increase“). At the time of
sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify
the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in
no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice
to the Lenders).


(b) Each Lender shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not
it agrees to increase its Revolver Commitment in connection with such Revolver
Increase and, if so, whether by a percentage of the requested Revolver Increase
equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share in respect of the
aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments of all Lenders. Any Lender not
responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase
its Revolver Commitment.

(c) The Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders153
responses to each request for a Revolver Increase made hereunder. To achieve the
full amount of a requested Revolver Increase if existing Lenders do not elect to
provide the full amount of a requested Revolver Increase, and subject to the
consent and of the Agent in its sole discretion and to the approval of the
Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Lender with respect to the identity of
such Person, the Borrower may also invite additional Persons to become Lenders
pursuant to a joinder to this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
the Agent and its counsel.

(d) If the Revolver Commitments and Maximum Revolver Amount are increased in
accordance with this Section 2.14, the Agent (in consultation with the
Borrower) shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase
Effective Date
“) and the final allocation of such increase. The Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such
increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effectiveness Date.

(e) As additional conditions precedent to any Revolver Increase (and without
limiting Agent153s discretion as to whether to consent to any Revolver Increase),
(i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Loan Party
dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies
for each Lender) signed by an officer of such Loan Party, certifying and
attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to
such increase, and certifying that the conditions precedent set out in the
following subclauses (ii) through (iv) have been satisfied, (ii) no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such
Revolver Increase, (iii) before and after giving effect to such Revolver
Increase, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except
that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations
that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on
and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date,
in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in
all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by
materiality) as of such earlier date, (iv) after giving effect to such Revolver
Increase, the Borrower would be in pro forma compliance with Section 7(a) of the
Agreement for the twelve-month period to which the most recent Compliance
Certificate received by the Agent pursuant to Schedule 5.1 relates, assuming
that the Revolver Commitments (after giving

2


effect to such increase) are fully drawn. The Borrower shall prepay any
Advances, Letter of Credit Disbursements or Swing Loans (to the extent
participated to Lenders) outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective
Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Advances, Letter of Credit
Disbursements or Swing Loans (to the extent participated to Lenders), as the
case may be, ratable with any revised Pro Rata Share of a Lender in respect of
the Revolver Commitments arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolver
Commitments under this Section 2.14.

(f) In connection with each Revolver Increase and as a further condition to
providing each Revolver Increase, Lenders, Borrower, and each Guarantor shall
execute such amendments, agreements, instruments and documents, if any, as Agent
shall reasonably request to evidence such Revolver Increase
