(examples of which are described above) none of the Accounts Receivable are
subject to any claim of offset, recoupment, setoff or counter-claim, other than
agreements relating to a right of return. Except as set forth in Schedule
3.13
hereof, no Person has any encumbrance on any of Accounts Receivable and
none of the Accounts Receivable are subject to prior assignment and no agreement
for deduction or discount has been made with respect to any of such Accounts
Receivable, other than agreements relating to a right of return. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 3.13 to the contrary, in recognition of the
fact that neither Navarre nor Sellers directly supervise the salespersons and
other employees of the Sellers, neither Navarre nor Sellers make any
representation or warranty with respect to any covenants, agreements,
commitments or communications, whether written or oral, from any salespersons or
other employees of the Companies to any customer, client or obligor under any
Accounts Receivable concerning such customer153s, client153s or obligor153s
obligations to make any payments to the Companies with respect to such Accounts
Receivable (including, without limitation, any amounts, timing, discounts,
writedowns or the like).

3.14 Disclosure. To the knowledge of Sellers and Navarre, no
representation or warranty by Sellers and Navarre in this Agreement and no
statement contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered or to be
delivered pursuant hereto contains or will contain an untrue statement of
material fact or omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements herein or therein contained, in light of the circumstances under
which made, not misleading; it being understood that as used in this
subparagraph “material” means material to any individual statement or omission
and in the aggregate as to all statements and omissions.

Except as provided in this Agreement Sellers have not made, do not make and
specifically negate and disclaim any representations, warranties, promises,
covenants, agreements or guaranties of any kind or character whatsoever, whether
express or implied, oral or written, past, present or future of, as to,
concerning or with respect to the Companies or their assets, liabilities,
forecasts or projections. Buyers acknowledges and agree that they have or will
be given the opportunity to inspect the businesses and assets of the Companies
and, except for their reliance on the representations and warranties set forth
in this Agreement, Buyers will rely on their own due diligence investigation of
the Companies and their respective businesses. Sellers and Navarre are not
liable or bound in any manner by any oral or written statement, representations
or information pertaining to Companies or their respective businesses furnished
by any other Person.

such updated schedule from the Companies) sets forth the Accounts Payable and
the identity and address of the party to whom such payable is owed as each of
February 28, 2011 and the Closing Date, as applicable. To the knowledge of the
Sellers and Navarre, after due inquiry, Schedule 3.15 is a true, complete
and correct list of the Accounts Payable as of each of February 28, 2011 and the
Closing Date, as applicable. Since January 1, 2011, neither Sellers nor Navarre
have delayed or postponed the payment of such Accounts Payable, other than in

neither the Sellers nor Navarre make any representation or warranty with respect
to Geneon Entertainment USA.

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

To induce Sellers to enter into this Agreement, Buyers, jointly and
severally, represent and warrant to Sellers that the following are true and
correct on the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date:

4.1 Organization. Each of Buyer GP, Buyer ALP and Buyer FLP
is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of Texas.

4.2 Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Buyers and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyers.

(b) Buyers have full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyers
and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyers, enforceable in
accordance with its respective terms, except as such may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors153
rights generally, and by general equitable principles.

4.3 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by Buyers does not and will not conflict with, constitute a
default under, or create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate,
modify, or cancel, or require any notice under, (i) any provision of the
Certificate of Formation or other governing documents of either of any the
Buyers or (ii) any Applicable Law to which any of the Buyers may be subject.

14


4.4 Compliance with Securities Laws. Each Buyer is an
“accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act“), and is
acquiring the Partnership Interests only for such Buyer153s own account, for
investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Buyers
will not sell, offer for sale, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of the
Partnership Interests or any interest therein except in compliance with the
Securities Act and any other applicable Laws. Buyers acknowledge that the
Partnership Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or the
blue sky laws of any state. Buyers have been given access to information
regarding the Companies (including the opportunity to meet with management and
other representatives of the Companies) and have utilized such access to the
Buyers153 satisfaction. Buyers are experienced and knowledgeable in financial and
business matters, capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the
Partnership Interests and do not need or desire the assistance of a
knowledgeable representative to aid in the evaluation of such risks (or, in the
alternative, the Buyers have used a knowledgeable representative in connection
with the Buyers153 decision to purchase the Partnership Interests).

4.5 Brokers or Agents. Buyers have not employed or dealt
with any brokers, consultants or investment bankers in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby for which Sellers or Navarre will have any
liability.

4.6 Disclosure. To the knowledge of Buyers, no
representation or warranty by Buyers in this Agreement and no statement
contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered or to be delivered
pursuant hereto contains or will contain an untrue statement of material fact or
omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
herein or therein contained, in light of the circumstances under which made, not
misleading; it being understood that as used in this subparagraph “material”
means material to any individual statement or omission and in the aggregate as
to all statements and omissions.

ARTICLE 5
COVENANTS

5.1 Books and Records. From and after the Closing, Buyers
will, and will cause the Companies to, provide Sellers and their representatives
with reasonable access and assistance, upon prior notice and at reasonably
acceptable times, for any reasonable purpose, including but not limited to (a)
the preparation or filing of any Tax Returns or filings required by or advisable
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or (b) defending any claim in
respect of which a Notice of Claim has been served, during normal business
hours, to all books and records of the Companies, including, but not limited to,
accounting and Tax records, sales and purchase documents, notes, memoranda, and
any other electronic or written data (“Records“) pertaining or relating
to the period prior to or after the Effective Time, provided that Buyers shall
have the right to cause a representative of Buyers to be present during the time
in which Sellers and their representatives have access to such Records. To the
extent deemed necessary by Sellers with respect to their affairs, Sellers may
retain copies of such Records prior to returning the originals to Buyers, or, as
soon as practicable after Closing, Buyers will provide to Sellers, at Sellers153
expense, copies of all or any portion of such Records as reasonably requested by
Navarre. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the other party, no party
will, for a period of seven (7) years following the date hereof or such longer
period as retention thereof is required by

15


applicable Law, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of (or allow the
destruction, alteration or disposal of) any of the Records without first
offering to surrender to the other party such Records.

5.2 Announcements. The Parties agree that no press release
or other public statement concerning the negotiation, execution and delivery of
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be issued or made
without the prior written approval of the Navarre and Buyers (which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld), except as required by any applicable law or
regulation.

5.3 Filings; Cooperation.

(a) Buyers and Sellers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain any authorizations, consents, approvals of governments and governmental
agencies in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Parties will proceed in good faith
to make such filings and take such other actions as may be commercially
reasonable to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 6.1 and
6.2.

(b) The Parties will, on request, cooperate with one another by furnishing
any additional information, executing and delivering any additional documents
and instruments, including contract assignments, and doing any and all such
other things as may be reasonably required by the Parties or their counsel (i)
to consummate or otherwise implement the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or (ii) make any filings required by or advisable with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

5.4 Payments to Geneon Entertainment USA. Navarre shall be
solely responsible for any payments due to Geneon Entertainment USA for final
reconciliation of amounts due under the Distribution Agreement, dated April 18,
2008, by and between Productions Company and Geneon Entertainment USA (as
amended), including the excess of returns holdback against actual returns and
the net adjustment of actual versus reported sales, the aggregate of which is
currently $1,083,059 and such amounts shall not be included in the Accounts
Payable.

5.5 Third Party Consents. Any transfer or assignment of a
contract to Buyers as a result of the transactions contemplated under this
Agreement that requires the consent or approval of a third party shall be made
subject to such consent or approval being obtained. In the event any such
consent or approval is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, each of
Sellers and Navarre shall continue to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any
such consent or approval after the Closing Date until such time as such consent
or approval has been obtained, and each of Sellers and Navarre will cooperate
with Buyers in any lawful and economically feasible arrangement to provide that
Buyers shall receive the interest of Sellers in all benefits under any such
contract, including without limitation performance by Sellers or Navarre, as
applicable, as agent if economically feasible; provided, however,
that Buyers shall undertake to pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for
the enjoyment of such benefit to the extent Buyers would have been responsible
therefor hereunder if such consent or approval had been obtained as of the
Closing Date.

16


5.6 Employee Bonuses. In the event that Navarre pays its
employees a bonus for fiscal 2011 pursuant to its published company-wide bonus
plan, Navarre shall pay the employees of the Companies that were (i) employees
of the Companies as of the Closing Date and (ii) still employed by the Companies
as of the date Navarre pays such bonus to its employees, a bonus that such
employees would have received under its published company-wide bonus plan as if
the Companies were still owned by the Sellers and Navarre; provided,
however, such bonus shall be pro rated based upon the number of months
that the Sellers and Navarre owned the Companies during fiscal 2011. For the
avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause shall not be deemed to include any spot
bonuses, special individual achievement bonuses or any other like individual
bonuses that could have been awarded outside of Navarre153s published company-wide
bonus plan.

5.7 Fukunaga Bonus; Employment Agreement. On the Funding
Date, Navarre and the Sellers shall pay to Gen Fukunaga a cash bonus of $250,000
(subject to all applicable withholding taxes) pursuant to the terms of Section 5
of that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, among Mr. Fukunaga,
the Companies and Navarre, dated May 27, 2010 (the “Employment
Agreement
“). In addition to the foregoing, Buyers shall deliver a
termination of the Employment Agreement (a “Termination“), pursuant to
which Mr. Fukunaga releases the Companies and Navarre and Navarre and the
Sellers release Mr. Fukunaga from any obligations thereunder as of the Closing
Date.

5.8 Release of Guaranty; Lease. Following the Closing Date,
Buyers and the Companies shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to
secure a release of the Letter of Credit and/or any remaining obligations of
Navarre under the Guaranty Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, commercially
reasonable efforts by the Buyers and the Companies in the foregoing sentence
shall under no circumstance mean that the Buyers or the Companies shall be
required to make any kind of payment to the Landlord or any of its affiliates
other than as set forth in the Lease. In addition, for as long as the Letter of
Credit and/or Guaranty Agreement, or any modification, amendment or replacement
thereof, remain outstanding, or Navarre has any obligations thereunder, (a)
neither Buyers nor the Companies shall effect any material modification of the
Lease without the prior written consent of Navarre; and (b) Buyers and the
Companies shall provide to Navarre copies of (i) year-end audited balance
sheets, statements of income and cash flow, and statements of member153s equity
within 120 days of the last business day of each fiscal year, and (ii) quarterly
unaudited balance sheets, statements of income and cash flow, and statements of
member153s equity, for such quarter and year-to-date, within 45 days of the last
business day of each quarter.

5.9 Potential Independent Contractor Liability. Following
the Closing Date, Buyers and the Company shall fulfill their obligations set
forth in the Letter of Undertaking, attached hereto as Exhibit E (the
Letter of Undertaking“) and use commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate with Sellers and Navarre to mitigate any such liability. In connection
with any claims, settlements, statements, communications, or negotiations with
the Internal Revenue Service or any state revenue agency relating to the
incorrect classification of any Person designated as an independent contractor
rather than an employee prior to the Closing Date, at the option of Navarre, the
provisions of Section 7.3 shall apply as if the Buyers and Companies were the
“Indemnified Party” and Navarre and the Sellers were the “Indemnifying Party” in
so far as Navarre and the Sellers shall control of the defense and investigation
and employ and engage

17


attorneys of its own choice to handle, defend and settle such matters,
subject to the rights of the Indemnified Party thereunder.

Navarre will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold Buyers harmless
against and in respect of any and all Losses arising from:

(i) any breach or violation of the covenants made in this Agreement by any
Seller and Navarre (which will not include the representations and warranties
set forth in Article 3, which are covered by Section 7.1(a)(ii) below);

(ii) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made in this
Agreement by either Seller or Navarre;

(iii) Gaimz Candies, L.L.C. v. FUNimation Productions, Ltd., FUNimation
Productions Management, L.L.C., and Navarre CP, L.L.C;

(iv) FUNimation Productions, Ltd. v. Gaimz Candies, L.L.C., Gaimz Inc., Gaimz
Foods, Inc., New Tech Foods, Ltd., Larry A. Cress, David D. Cudd, and Robert
Frank Schmidt;

(v) Any amounts paid by or on behalf of the Companies to the Internal Revenue
Service or any state revenue agency relating to the incorrect classification of
any Person designated as an independent contractor rather than an employee prior
to the Closing Date; and

(vi) Telea Stafford v. Navarre Corporation and FUNimation Productions, Ltd.
(Charge filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission).

(b) (i) Buyer will not be entitled to indemnification and Sellers and Navarre
shall have no liability pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii) until such time as the
total amount of all Losses under Section 7.1(a)(ii) exceeds $500,000 (the
Basket“), and then for all Losses, including those that comprise the
Basket. (ii) The aggregate maximum liability of Sellers and Navarre with respect
to indemnification provided under Section 7.1(a)(ii)

19


shall not exceed an amount equal to $5,000,000 (the “Cap“). (iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 7.1(b)(i) and 7.1(b)(ii) shall not apply
to any claim for indemnification with respect to:

(A) any of the matters described in Sections 7.1(a)(i) through 7.1(a)(vi);
provided that the aggregate liability of the Sellers and Navarre under Section
7.1(a)(v) shall not exceed $250,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
$250,000 limitation with respect to the aggregate liability of the Sellers and
Navarre under Section 7.1(a)(v) shall be exclusive of any fees or costs incurred
by Navarre or the Sellers in defending any investigation or audit relating to
the Companies in connection therewith;

(B) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made in Sections
3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.9 and 3.12 of this Agreement by any Seller or Navarre (the
Fundamental Representations“); or

(C) any intentional misrepresentation or omission by any Seller or Navarre;
or

(D) any fraud on the part of any Seller or Navarre.

(c) All representations and warranties made by Sellers, Navarre, or Buyers in
this Agreement or any other document, certificate, schedule or instrument
delivered or executed in connection herewith will survive the Closing and will
expire at 11:59 p.m. (Central Standard Time) eighteen (18) months after the
Effective Time (“Indemnification Period“); provided,
however, that the Fundamental Representations shall remain in effect
indefinitely notwithstanding the expiration of the Indemnification Period and
the representations in Section 3.12 shall survive for a period beginning as of
the date hereof and continuing until 90 days after the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations; provided, further, that
Sellers153 and Navarre153s obligations under Section 7.1(a)(v) will expire at 11:59
p.m. (Central Standard Time) twenty four (24) months after the Effective Time.
Neither Sellers nor Buyers will have any liability to the other (for
indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty,
unless, on or before the expiration of the Indemnification Period (solely in the
case of representations or warranties other than Fundamental Representations) or
the time periods set forth in the provisos in the foregoing sentences with
respect to such matters, Buyers deliver to Navarre, or Navarre delivers to
Buyers, as applicable, a written notice of claim specifying the factual basis
and amount of such claim of Loss in reasonable detail to the extent then known
(“Notice of Claim“). The expiration of the Indemnification Period shall
not affect any Notice of Claim which was given in a timely manner if the
underlying claim of Loss asserted in such notice has not been fully and finally
resolved as of the end of the Indemnification Period. For the avoidance of
doubt, the failure of Buyers to deliver a Notice of Claim with respect to any of
the Fundamental Representations on or before the expiration of the
Indemnification Period shall not render such Notice of Claim ineffective
provided that Buyers otherwise deliver such Notice of Claim to Navarre pursuant
to this Section 7.1(c).

20


(d) In the absence of fraud, the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Section 7.1 will provide the exclusive remedy for Buyers for breach of any
covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of Sellers set forth in this
Agreement or any other agreement ancillary hereto executed pursuant to this
Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no liability,
obligation, contract or other fact or circumstance will constitute a breach of
any representation or warranty of Sellers or entitle Buyers to indemnification
hereunder if the liability, obligation, contract or fact or circumstance was
actually known to any of the Buyers as of the date of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of Article 3 to the contrary (including,
without limitation, Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.12 and 3.13), except for the
indemnification obligations in Section 7.1(a)(v), neither the Sellers nor
Navarre make any representation or warranty concerning whether any of the
independent contractors or consultants to or any employee of either Company has
been correctly classified as an independent contractor rather than an employee
prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby or afterward and,
except for the indemnification obligations in Section 7.1(a)(v), neither the
Sellers nor Navarre shall have any liability to the Buyers or either Company for
any claimed, alleged or demonstrated failure to correctly classify such Persons
or withhold any amounts from such Person153s compensation. To be eligible for
indemnification under Section 7.1(a)(v), Buyers and the Companies must fulfill
the obligations set forth in the Letter of Undertaking and must have used
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sellers and Navarre to
mitigate any such liability.

7.2 Indemnification by Buyers.

(a) Buyers will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold Sellers
and Navarre harmless against and in respect of any and all Losses during the
Indemnification Period arising from:

(i) any breach or violation of the covenants made in this Agreement by any
Buyer;

(ii) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this
Agreement by any Buyer; or

(iii) any Losses incurred by Sellers or Navarre related, whether directly or
indirectly, to the Lease, any guaranty(ies) or surety provided by Navarre
relating to the Lease, and/or the aggregate amount drawn against the Letter of
Credit to be provided by Navarre to Landlord to secure a release or modification
of the Guaranty Agreement.

(b) Seller will not be entitled to indemnification and Buyers shall have no
liability pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) until such time as the total amount of
all Losses exceeds the Basket, and then for all Losses, including those that
comprise the Basket. Further, the aggregate maximum liability of Buyers with
respect to indemnification provided under Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall not exceed an
amount equal to the Cap.

21


Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.2(b) shall not apply to any
claim for indemnification with respect to any fraud on the part of the Buyers.

(c) In the absence of fraud, the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Section 7.2 will provide the exclusive remedy for Sellers and Navarre for breach
of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of Buyers set forth in
this Agreement or any other agreement ancillary hereto executed pursuant to this
Agreement.

(d) Upon written notice to Buyers and the Companies specifying in reasonable
detail the basis therefor, and upon providing a fifteen (15) day period to cure
any liability, Sellers and/or Navarre may set off any amount which it is
actually entitled to under this Section 7.2 against amounts otherwise
payable to Buyers and/or the Companies. The exercise of such right of setoff by
Sellers and/or Navarre in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be
justified, will not constitute default or breach of any of this Agreement, the
Logistics Agreement, the Distribution Agreement, the Transition Services
Agreement or any other agreement between or among Navarre and one or both of the
Companies.

7.3 Procedure for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Third Party Claims. If any action, claim, suit,
proceeding, arbitration, order, or governmental investigation or audit is filed
or initiated by any third party (a “Third Party Claim“) against any party
entitled to the benefit of indemnity under this Agreement (an “Indemnified
Party
“), written notice of such Third Party Claim will be given to the party
owing indemnity (an “Indemnifying Party“) as promptly as reasonably
practicable (and in any event within ten (10) days after the service of the
citation or summons); provided, however, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give timely notice will not affect any rights to
indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is
prejudiced or damaged by such failure to receive notice.

(b) Defense and Settlement by Indemnifying Party.

(i) After notice of a Third Party Claim is given under Section 7.3(a) and in
the absence of a Conflict of Interest (as defined below), the Indemnifying Party
may (A) take control of the defense and investigation of the Third Party Claim,
(B) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the Third
Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party153s cost, risk and expense, which attorneys
must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and (C) subject to
Section 7.3(b)(ii) below, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 7.3(b)(i)(C) above, no such compromise or
settlement of the Third Party Claim may be made without the written consent of
the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed. The Indemnified Party may withhold such consent if such
compromise or settlement would materially and adversely affect the conduct

22


of Business or requires less than an unconditional release with respect to
the Third Party Claim.

(iii) The Indemnifying Party will provide the Indemnified Party access to all
records, documents and personnel of the Indemnifying Party and keep the
Indemnified Party informed relating to any Third Party Claim under this Section
7.3.

(iv) The term “Conflict of Interest” means that the named parties to a
Third Party Claim include both of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that
there exist one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that
are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party,
and which, if asserted, would create a conflict of interest with the
Indemnifying Party.

(c) Defense and Settlement by Indemnified Party.

(i) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party
Claim within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice thereof pursuant to this
Section 7.3 or there is a Conflict of Interest, the Indemnified Party may (A)
take control of the defense and investigation of the Third Party Claim, (B)
employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the Third
Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party153s cost, risk and expense, which attorneys
must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and (C) subject to
Section 7.3(c)(ii) below, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 7.3(c)(i)(C) above but also subject to Section
7.3(e), no such compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim may be made
without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(iii) The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party access to all
records, documents and personnel of the Indemnified Party that are reasonably
necessary with respect to the investigation, trial, or defense of the Third
Party Claim and keep the Indemnifying Party informed relating to any Third Party
Claim under this Section 7.3.

(d) Liability, Costs and Expenses. The Indemnifying Party will be
liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance
with this Section 7.3 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of
appeal), and the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Party from and against any damages by reason of such settlement or
judgment. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party
takes up the defense, the Indemnifying Party will pay the costs and expenses in
connection with the defense, compromise or settlement for any Third Party Claim
under this Section 7.3.

(e) Insurance; Subrogation.

23


(i) With respect to any claim, all parties agree to use commercially
reasonable efforts to maximize insurance recoveries.

(ii) With respect to any claim for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated
to indemnify the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated
to all rights and claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss.

(f) Participation and Payment Obligations. The Indemnified Party may,
at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of any
Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom, the investigation, trial and
defense of which is being handled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section
7.3(b).

(g) Limitation of Special Damages. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, neither the Sellers or Navarre nor Buyers shall be
entitled to indemnification for consequential, indirect or punitive damages
regardless of the form of the claim or action, except to the extent such damages
are payable by an Indemnifying Party in respect of third party claims.
