AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS
AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made
effective December 28, 2006, by and between Navarre Corporation, a
Minnesota corporation, (hereafter the “Company”), and Eric H.
Paulson, a resident of the State of Minnesota (hereafter
“Executive”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS,
the Company and Executive are parties to an existing Employment Agreement dated
November 1, 2001, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”); and
WHEREAS,
the Company and Executive mutually desire to amend the Employment Agreement
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, each of the parties to this Amendment agree that
the Employment Agreement is amended as follows:
1. Effective
January 1, 2007, all references in the Employment Agreement to the titles
“Chief Executive Officer” and/or “President” shall be
replaced with “Executive Chairman” which shall be Executive’s
title as of that date and for the remainder of the Employment Period.
2. Section 6(e)
of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by including the following
immediately subsequent to the current Section 6(e)(iv), as a new
Section 6(e)(v):
“(v) Deferred
Compensation Restrictions. It is intended that any amounts payable
under this Agreement shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the
Code, and the treasury regulations relating thereto, so as not to subject the
Executive to the payment of tax penalties and interest which may be imposed
under Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this interest, and to the
extent required by Section 409A of the Code to avoid any penalties on
Executive, except as to the funding of the rabbi trust pursuant to
Section 4(d)(iv) of this Agreement, all payments to Executive hereunder
that are to be made upon the termination of Executive’s employment shall
be distributed on the later of (i) the dates specified in this Agreement, or
(ii) six (6) months after the Executive’s date of termination
of employment. The term “termination of employment” and other
similar terms used in this Agreement shall be construed to have the same
meaning as is given to the term “Separation from Service” in
Section 409A. The Executive and the Company shall cooperate in making such
other amendments to the terms of this Agreement as may be necessary to avoid
the imposition of penalties and additional taxes under Section 409A of the
Code.”
3. Capitalized
terms used in this Amendment that are not defined herein, shall have the
meaning attributed to them in the Employment Agreement.
4. This Amendment shall be attached to and be a part of the Employment Agreement between the Company and Executive, and the parties hereto expressly ac
