Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 14, 2008, Napster, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Best Buy Co., Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), and Puma Cat Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”).

Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will commence an offer to purchase (the “Offer”) all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and all stock purchase rights associated with such shares (the “Shares”), at a price of $2.65 per share, without interest or accrued dividends, net to the seller in cash (the “Offer Consideration”). The Offer will remain open for 20 business days from commencement, subject to possible extension on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, after the consummation of the Offer, and subject to certain terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”). Also at the effective time of the Merger, each Share (other than Shares owned by the Company, any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Parent, Purchaser, or stockholders who have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who have properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law), will be automatically converted into the right to receive $2.65 in cash. At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Purchaser common stock will be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, Parent and Purchaser. The Company has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course until the Offer is consummated. The Company has also agreed not to solicit, encourage or initiate discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire the Company and to certain other restrictions on its ability to respond to such proposals. The Merger Agreement also includes customary termination provisions for both the Company and Parent and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay to Parent a termination fee of $3,000,000.

Consummation of the Offer is subject to various conditions, including, among other things, (1) the valid tender of a number of Shares which, together with any other Shares owned directly or indirectly by Parent, would constitute more than one-half of the number of Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, and (2) the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 or any other applicable foreign antitrust laws.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company has granted Purchaser an irrevocable option to purchase a number of newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock that, when added together with Shares collectively owned by Purchaser and Parent at the time of such exercise, equals one share more than 90% of Shares (the “Top-Up Option”). The Purchaser will pay the Company the Offer Consideration for each Share acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option.

The parties have agreed that if, following either the consummation of the Offer or the election to exercise the Top-Up Option, Purchaser and Parent, directly or indirectly, collectively own at least 90% of the outstanding Shares, the Merger will be completed without a meeting of the Company’s stockholders, in accordance with Delaware’s short-form merger statute.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement.

2

The Merger Agreement, which has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or Parent, contains representations and warranties of each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Merger Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement, including information contained in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of a specific date and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. In addition, certain representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters of fact. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s or Parent’s public disclosures.

Shareholder Support Agreement

In order to induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, the directors and certain officers of the Company entered into a Shareholder Support Agreement with Parent and Purchaser (the “Shareholder Support Agreement”) concurrent with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Shareholder Support Agreement, such shareholders agreed, among other things, to tender their Shares in the Offer within 10 business days after commencement of the Offer and, if required, to vote their Shares in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and against any proposal, transaction or corporate action that would prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger. Shares held by these directors and officers that are eligible to be tendered into the Offer represent, in the aggregate, approximately 1.4% of Shares outstanding on the date of the Merger Agreement and those that are eligible to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement represent, in the aggregate, approximately 5.9% of Shares outstanding on the date of the Merger Agreement.

A copy of the Shareholder Support Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the Shareholder Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Shareholder Support Agreement.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The tender offer described in this Current Report on Form 8-K has not yet commenced, and this report is not an offer to buy or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The solicitation and the offer to buy the Shares will be made only pursuant to an offer to purchase and related materials that Parent intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Schedule TO. The Company also intends to file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the offer. Company stockholders and other investors should read these materials carefully because they contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the offer. Company stockholders and other investors will be able to obtain copies of these materials without charge from the SEC through the SEC’s Web site at www.sec.gov, from the Information Agent named in the tender offer documents, from Parent (with respect to documents filed by Parent with the SEC), or from the Company (with respect to documents filed by the Company with the SEC).

Item 3.03Material Modification of Rights of Security Holders.

On September 14, 2008, prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Shareholder Support Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Preferred Stock Rights Agreement dated May 18, 2001 between the Company (formerly known as Roxio, Inc.) and Mellon Investor Services, LLC (“the “Rights Agreement”).

The Amendment, among other things, renders the Rights Agreement inapplicable to the Merger, the Offer, the Shareholder Support Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Amendment provides that the approval, execution or delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Shareholder Support Agreement or the consummation of or announcement of the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated in the Merger Agreement, will not result in either Parent or Purchaser being deemed an “Acquiring Person” (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement). In addition, the Amendment provides that none of a “Shares Acquisition Date,” a “Distribution Date” or a “Section 13 Event” (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement) shall occur by reason of the approval, execution or delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Shareholder Support Agreement or the consummation of or announcement of the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Amendment also provides that the Rights Agreement shall expire at the Effective Time (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) if the Rights Agreement has not otherwise terminated.

A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment.

Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On September 14, 2008, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with each of William Christopher Gorog, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bradford D. Duea, the Company’s President, and Christopher Allen, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. The new employment agreements for Messrs. Gorog, Duea and Allen (the “Employment Agreements”) provide for the terms of each executive’s employment with the Company following the closing of the Merger, and will supersede and replace each executive’s existing employment agreement with the Company effective upon the closing of the Merger. If the closing of the Merger does not occur for any reason, the existing employment agreements for Messrs. Gorog, Duea and Allen will remain in effect.

The term of the Employment Agreements begins on the closing date of the Merger and continues until March 3, 2012. The Employment Agreements provide that Messrs. Gorog, Duea and Allen will receive annual base salaries of $400,000, $315,000 and $315,000, respectively. Messrs. Gorog, Duea and Allen will also be eligible to receive an annual short term incentive compensation opportunity, although each executive’s incentive compensation opportunity for the remainder of Parent’s fiscal year ending February 28, 2009 will be pro-rated. Messrs. Gorog’s, Duea’s and Allen’s target annual short term incentive compensation opportunity is equal to 45%, 30% and 30% of their respective base salaries, and each executive’s maximum incentive compensation opportunity is equal to two times his target amount. Mr. Gorog’s actual annual short term incentive compensation payment may not be less than 35% of his base salary, subject to appropriate pro-rating for Parent’s fiscal year ending February 28, 2009.

The Employment Agreements provide that each of Messrs. Duea’s and Allen’s existing restricted stock awards will be assumed by Parent and converted into the right to receive cash consideration having a value equal to the Offer Consideration (the “Restricted Share Consideration”). (All of Mr. Gorog’s existing restricted stock awards will become fully vested at or prior to the closing of the Merger pursuant to the terms of his existing employment agreement, and will be treated the same as other outstanding Shares.) Subject to Messrs. Duea’s and Allen’s continued employment, each such executive’s Restricted Share Consideration will become payable at the same times as the underlying restricted shares would have become vested in accordance with their terms (although for administrative convenience, certain installments scheduled to vest during a calendar year will instead become vested on the first day of the calendar year).

Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, Messrs. Gorog, Duea and Allen will be eligible to earn a cash-based long term incentive award if the Company achieves specific performance goals during the period March 1, 2009 through March 3, 2012. All or a portion of each executive’s long term incentive award may also become earned upon a termination of employment due to death, disability, by the Company without Cause or by the executive for a Good Reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreements), and Mr. Gorog’s award may also become earned upon the occurrence of a subsequent majority sale, spin-off or liquidation event with respect to the Company. Messrs. Gorog’s, Duea’s and Allen’s target long term incentive compensation opportunity is equal to $2,925,000, $360,000 and $675,000, respectively, and each executive’s maximum long term incentive compensation opportunity is equal to two times his target amount. Subject to approval of Parent’s compensation committee, Messrs. Gorog, Duea and Allen will be granted 8,500, 16,500 and 35,000 options, respectively, to purchase shares of Parent’s common stock. The options will become vested in four substantially equal annual installments on the first four anniversaries of the grant date, and may also become vested upon a termination of employment due to death or disability, or upon a termination by the Company without Cause or by the executive for a Good Reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreements) in connection with a change in control of Parent. Mr. Gorog will also receive a grant of restricted shares of Parent’s common stock having a value equal to $1,575,000 on the grant date. The restricted shares will become vested in three substantially equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, and all or a portion of the restricted shares may also become vested upon a termination of employment due to death, disability, by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Gorog for a Good Reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreement), or upon the occurrence of a subsequent majority sale, spin-off or liquidation event with respect to the Company. The options and restricted shares will be subject to the terms of Parent’s 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, and option and restricted share award agreements to be entered into thereunder. The Employment Agreements further provide that Messrs. Gorog, Duea and Allen will be entitled to participate in the Company’s and Parent’s benefit plans and programs established from time to time, to the extent each executive satisfies the eligibility provisions of such plans (and during the first year of employment pursuant to the Employment Agreements, each executive’s aggregate benefits will be no less favorable than his current benefits). Mr. Gorog is also entitled to receive the perquisites that are provided from time to time to peer executives of Parent, and to certain travel privileges.

4

The Employment Agreements include severance benefits for Messrs. Gorog, Duea and Allen if each executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the executive for a Good Reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreements). The severance benefits for such a termination of employment include (i) a lump-sum cash payment equal to the executive’s highest base salary rate in effect during the year preceding termination of employment (Mr. Gorog’s payment is equal to continued payment of his base salary for eighteen months), (ii) reimbursement for the costs of health insurance coverage under COBRA for up to twelve months following termination of employment, (iii) a lump-sum cash payment equal to a pro-rata portion of the executive’s target short term incentive compensation opportunity or actual short term incentive compensation opportunity for the year of termination, whichever is greater based on the Company’s reasonable estimate at the time of termination, (iv) full vesting of any unvested portion of the Restricted Share Consideration for Messrs. Duea and Allen, and (v) any payments or vesting provided for under the terms of the plans and agreements evidencing the executive’s new long term incentive compensation award and/or options and restricted share awards with respect to Parent’s common stock. The payment or provision of these severance benefits is subject to the executive’s execution of an effective general release of claims in favor of the Company and Parent.

The Employment Agreements include certain protective covenants, including an indefinite restriction on the disclosure of confidential information, a covenant requiring the executive to generally assign all inventions relating to the Company’s business to the Company, and a covenant restricting the executive from soliciting the Company’s employees during employment and for twelve months thereafter.

A copy of Mr. Gorog’s Employment Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 and the form of each other Employment Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.3 hereto, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the Employment Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of Mr. Gorog’s Employment Agreement and the form of Employment Agreement.

Item 8.01Other Events.

On September 15, 2008, the Company and Parent issued a joint press release announcing execution of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company has postponed the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that had been scheduled for September 18, 2008, due to the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement. If the Merger is not completed, the Company intends to reschedule the Annual Meeting and notify stockholders of the date, time and location of the rescheduled meeting. A copy of the press release issued by the Company on September 15, 2008 announcing postponement of the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 14, 2008, is entered into by and among Best Buy Co., Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), Puma Cat Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), and Napster, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

RECITALS

A.The respective boards of directors of Parent, Purchaser and the Company have approved, and deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders to consummate, the acquisition of the Company by Parent upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

B.In furtherance of such acquisition, Parent proposes to cause Purchaser to make a tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and the associated stock purchase rights of the Company at a purchase price of $2.65 per share, without interest or accrued dividends, net to seller and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

C.In furtherance of such acquisition, the respective boards of directors of Parent, Purchaser and the Company have approved the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company following the consummation of the above-described tender offer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby (i) Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent following the merger; (ii) each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock not owned by the Company, Parent, or Purchaser, or with respect to which the holder thereof has not properly asserted appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), shall be converted into the right to receive $2.65 in cash and (iii) each issued and outstanding share of Purchaser common stock will be converted into one (1) share of common stock of the surviving corporation; and

D.To induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company have executed stockholder support agreements with Parent contemporaneously herewith.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE OFFER

1.1The Offer.

(a)Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article 7, as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Parent shall cause Purchaser to commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), an offer to purchase (the “Offer”) all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, and all stock purchase rights associated with such shares (the “Shares”) at a price of $2.65 per share, without any interest or accrued dividends, net to the seller in cash (the “Offer Consideration”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than Saturday, Sunday or a federal holiday, and shall consist of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight Eastern Time; provided, however, for purposes of computing the required periods under Sections 5.10 and 7.4, a period of a certain number of Business Days shall in no event end earlier than that number of hours after the commencement of such period equal to the product of 24 and such number of Business Days. The obligations of Purchaser to consummate the Offer, accept for payment and pay for Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn shall be subject to those conditions set forth on Annex A hereto.

(b)Purchaser expressly reserves the right, subject to compliance with the Exchange Act, to amend or waive any terms or conditions of the Offer and to increase the Offer Consideration, except that, without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not (and Parent shall not cause Purchaser to) (i) decrease the Offer Consideration or change the form of consideration therefor or decrease the number of Shares sought pursuant to the Offer, (ii) amend, modify or change the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto in a manner adverse to the holders of Shares, (iii) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex A, (iv) waive or amend the Minimum Condition or the conditions set forth in clauses (G) or (H) of Annex A, (v) extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer (except as set forth in this Section 1.1(b)), or (vi) amend any other term of the Offer in a manner adverse to the holders of Shares. The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be twenty (20) Business Days from the commencement of the Offer (determined in accordance with Rules 14d-1(g)(3) and 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) (as the same may be extended in accordance with this Agreement, each an “Expiration Date”). Purchaser shall not, and Parent agrees that it shall cause Purchaser not to, terminate or withdraw the Offer other than in connection with the effective termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, without Parent receiving the consent of the Company, (A) extend the Expiration Date for any period required by applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the stock exchange applicable to the Offer or (B) elect to provide a subsequent offering period for the Offer in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act. So long as the Offer and this Agreement have not been terminated pursuant to Article 7, if at any scheduled Expiration Date, the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A shall not have been satisfied or earlier waived, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer and the Expiration Date to a date that is not more than ten (10) Business Days after such previously scheduled Expiration Date. Other than as provided in the immediately preceding two sentences, Purchaser shall not, and Parent shall cause Purchaser not to, extend or delay the Expiration Date (or expiration time) without the prior written consent of the Company. Subject to the terms of the Offer and this Agreement and the satisfaction (or waiver, to the extent permitted by this Agreement) of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A, Purchaser shall accept for payment all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the applicable Expiration Date and shall pay for all such Shares promptly after acceptance (the date of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Date”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Offer shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7.

(c)In the event that the Acceptance Date occurs but Parent and Purchaser do not collectively own ninety percent (90%) of the Shares (including, for purposes of this Section 1.1(c), Shares accepted for purchase, other than shares tendered by means of guaranteed delivery and not yet delivered) by means of the Offer or, in Purchaser’s discretion, the Top-Up Option, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to provide for a subsequent offering period under Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, of not less than three (3) Business Days nor more than twenty (20) Business Days, in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, so that on or prior to the expiration of such subsequent offering period, Purchaser shall have accepted for payment and paid for a number of Shares, which together with any Shares then owned by Parent and Purchaser, represents at least ninety percent (90%) of the Shares (including Shares accepted for purchase, other than shares tendered by means of guaranteed delivery and not yet delivered).

1.2Parent and Purchaser’s Obligations with Respect to the Offer. On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO promulgated under Section 14(d)(1) of the Exchange Act (together with all amendments and supplements, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer which shall contain the offer to purchase and related letter of transmittal and other ancillary Offer documents and instruments pursuant to which the Offer shall be made (collectively, with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”), which shall contain (or shall be amended in a timely manner to contain) all information which is required to be included therein in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and any other Laws, and which shall comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and any other Laws. For purposes of this Agreement, “Laws” shall mean any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law, statue, code, ordinance, regulation, code, order, judgment, writ, injunction, decision, ruling or decree promulgated by any Governmental Authority. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents and any amendments or supplements thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Purchaser shall, and Parent agrees to cause Purchaser to, provide the Company with (in writing, if written), and consult with the Company regarding, any comments (written or oral) that may be received by Parent, Purchaser or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such written and oral comments and proposed responses. The Parent and Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the Schedule TO to the Company at its principal executive office and shall mail the Offer Documents to the holders of Shares. In conducting the Offer, Parent and Purchaser shall comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and any other Law. Without limiting the foregoing, at the times the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, sent to the stockholders of the Company and Shares are purchased pursuant to the Offer, the Offer Documents will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser make no representations or warranties with respect to any information supplied by the Company or the Company Representatives that is contained in or incorporated by reference in the Offer Documents. Parent, Purchaser and the Company each agree promptly to correct any information provided by them for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Purchaser further agrees to take all lawful action necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed promptly with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by Law.

Within one (1) Business Day of the filing by Parent and Purchaser of the Schedule TO, the Company shall file or caused to be filed with the SEC, a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 5.10(c), will contain the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) in favor of the acceptance of the Offer and the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the stockholders of the Company (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and otherwise complying with Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act. The Schedule 14D-9 shall comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and any other Laws and shall contain (or shall be amended in a timely manner to contain) all information which is required to be included therein in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and any other Laws. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments or supplements thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. The Company shall provide Parent with (in writing, if written), and consult with the Parent regarding, any comments (written or oral) that may be received by the Company or its counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such written and oral comments and proposed responses. At the times the Schedule 14D-9 is filed with the SEC, given to the stockholders of the Company and Shares are purchased pursuant to the Offer, the Schedule 14D-9 will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to any information supplied by Parent or Purchaser or any of their respective representatives that is contained in or incorporated by reference in the Schedule 14D-9.

Subject to the requirements of Law, and except for such actions as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger, Parent and Purchaser and each of their Affiliates and representatives shall hold in confidence the information contained in such labels and lists, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger, and, if this Agreement is terminated, in accordance with its terms, shall deliver promptly to the Company all copies of such information then in their possession or under their control.

The date and time the Merger becomes effective in accordance with Law is referred to herein as the “Effective Time.” At the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL, Purchaser shall be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company. Following the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Purchaser shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

5

2.2Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein, in the Certificate of Merger and in the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Purchaser shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and the Purchaser shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.3Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(a)The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in its entirety to read as the Certificate of Incorporation of Purchaser in effect at the Effective Time until amended in accordance with applicable Law; provided, however, that Article I of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows: “The name of the Corporation is Napster, Inc.” and such Certificate of Incorporation shall contain indemnification provisions consistent with the obligations set forth in Section 5.7.

(b)The Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in their entirety to read as the Bylaws of Purchaser in effect at the Effective Time, until amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and hereof and applicable Law.

2.4Directors. The directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with applicable Law and the Surviving Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

2.5Officers. The officers designated by Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

2.6Effect on Shares of Capital Stock.

(a)As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Shares, the Company or Purchaser:

(i)Each Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Dissenting Shares and (ii) those Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.6(b)) shall be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the Offer Consideration in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof, without interest or dividends thereon, less any applicable withholding of taxes, in the manner provided in Section 2.9; and

(ii)All such Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and each holder of a certificate or certificates representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration described in this Section 2.6(a).

6

(b)As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Shares, the Company or Purchaser, each Share that is owned by the Company or any wholly-owned subsidiary as treasury stock or otherwise or owned by Purchaser or Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c)As of the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Purchaser (“Purchaser Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or Purchaser, be converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”). Each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented issued and outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock into which such shares have been converted pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the record holder thereof shall receive, upon surrender of any such certificate, a certificate representing the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock into which the shares of Purchaser Common Stock formerly represented thereby shall have been converted pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares) and held by a holder (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.6(a) hereof, but shall represent and become the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the DGCL, unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive, upon surrender as provided above, the applicable Merger Consideration, without any interest or dividends thereon, in accordance with Section 2.6(a), and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such Shares. The Company shall give Parent and Purchaser prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company. Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands, and the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for payment and shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent and Purchaser, settle or offer to settle any such demands.

2.7Options; Stock Option Plans; Restricted Shares; Employee Stock Purchase Plan; Rights Plan.

(a)Effective at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Effective Time (but subject to the occurrence of the Closing), each outstanding unexercised option to purchase Shares, whether or not then vested or fully exercisable, granted on or prior to such date (an “Option”), shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full, and at the Effective Time, all Options then-outstanding shall be cancelled, in each case, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms under which such Options were granted. In consideration of such cancellation, each holder of an Option cancelled in accordance with this Section 2.7 will be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation in settlement of such Option promptly following the Effective Time, a cash payment, subject to any required withholding of taxes, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of such Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Option (such product, the “Option Consideration”). The Company Board agrees to timely provide required notices and take all actions necessary to fully accelerate the vesting schedule of all Options issued under the Company’s Stock Option Plans and, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, to cause such Options to terminate as of the Effective Time. Additionally, the Company agrees to terminate the Company’s 2003 Stock Plan, 2002 Stock Plan, Amended and Restated Napster, Inc. 2001 Stock Plan, Amended and Restated 2001 Director Option Plan, and Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Stock Option Plans”) as of the Effective Time (but subject to the occurrence of the Closing).

(b)Each outstanding Share issued under the Company’s Stock Option Plans that is a restricted stock award to which vesting restrictions remain applicable at the Effective Time (the “Restricted Shares”) shall, as part of the Merger, be assumed by the Surviving Corporation (subject to applicable vesting and other provisions of the applicable Stock Option Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time following the Effective Time, and as modified by any applicable written employment agreement by and between the holder of any Restricted Shares and the Company entered into in connection with the Offer), and each holder thereof shall have the right to receive, upon expiration of any applicable vesting restrictions and in lieu of any shares of common stock, an amount of cash equal to $2.65 per Restricted Share; provided that the vesting schedule applicable to any such award of Restricted Shares shall (subject to any written employment agreement by and between the holder of any Restricted Shares and the Company entered into in connection with the Offer) be accelerated so that the shares (or cash substituted therefor, as the case may be) subject to such award shall vest (subject to applicable continued employment requirements through the respective vesting dates and applicable tax withholding requirements) as follows: (i) pursuant to the applicable terms of the Stock Option Plans and award agreements entered into thereunder, twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of such award that is outstanding and not otherwise vested on the Acceptance Date shall vest as a result of the occurrence of and concurrent with the Acceptance Date, and the vested Shares held by the holder of such award, unless tendered in the Offer, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time, (ii) any portion of such award that is then outstanding and would otherwise vest in 2009 (other than pursuant to clause (iii) below) shall vest on January 1, 2009, (iii) pursuant to the applicable terms of the Stock Option Plans and award agreements entered into thereunder, twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of such award that is then outstanding and otherwise not vested on the first anniversary of the Acceptance Date shall vest on the first anniversary of the Acceptance Date, (iv) any portion of such award that is then outstanding and would otherwise vest in 2010 shall vest on January 1, 2010, and (v) any portion of such award that is then outstanding and would otherwise vest in 2011 or later shall vest on the second anniversary of the Acceptance Date. Any cash payment required to be made after the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) with respect to any award of Restricted Shares shall be made upon or not later than thirty (30) days following the corresponding vesting date and shall be subject to applicable tax withholding. For purposes of clarity, and notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Share award granted to a person who is or was a member of the Company Board is subject to full (100%) accelerated vesting as a result of and concurrent with the Acceptance Date pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable award, and the vested Shares held by such persons shall, unless tendered in the Offer, be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time.

8

(c)The Company agrees to timely provide required notices and to take all such actions as are required to effectively terminate the Company’s 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company ESPP”) effective as of, and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Closing Date, with no further action by the Company, the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), or the Company stockholders. So long as the exercise prices payable by participants with respect to purchase rights outstanding under the Company ESPP have been previously withheld from such participants’ compensation, or are to be withheld prior to the Effective Time, and provided that no such withholdings have been revoked prior to the Effective Time, all purchase rights outstanding under the Company ESPP immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time with no further action by any party, and each participant in the Company ESPP will receive, in lieu of the Share issuable upon exercise, a cash payment from the Surviving Corporation, subject to any required withholding of taxes, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of such purchase right, times (ii) the Merger Consideration.

(d)The Company has taken all actions necessary to amend the Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated May 18, 2001, between Roxio, Inc. and Mellon Investor Services, LLC (the “Rights Plan”) so that neither the execution of this Agreement, the commencement and consummation of the Offer, nor the completion of the Merger will trigger the conditions set forth therein, and the Rights Plan shall not be further amended in any manner without the prior written consent of Parent or Purchaser prior to the earliest to occur of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement. An accurate and complete copy of the Rights Plan, as so amended, has been delivered to Parent and Purchaser.

2.8Payment for Shares in the Merger.

(a)Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Purchaser shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange and paying agent, registrar and transfer agent (the “Agent”) for the purpose of payment of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.6 above with respect to certificates representing, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Shares surrendered after the Effective Time by the holders thereof. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall deposit, or shall otherwise take all steps necessary to cause to be deposited, in trust with the Agent for the benefit of the holders of Shares, cash in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6(a), and (B) the Merger Consideration (such amount is referred to herein as the “Payment Fund”). The Agent shall, pursuant to instructions provided by Parent or Purchaser, make the payments provided for in Section 2.6 of this Agreement out of the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund may be invested by the Agent, as directed by the Purchaser, in (i) obligations of or guaranteed by the United States, (ii) commercial paper rated A-1, P-1 or A-2, P-2, and (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements and bankers acceptances of any bank or trust company organized under federal Laws or the Laws of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia that has capital, surplus or undivided profits of at least $500,000,000 or in money market funds which are invested substantially in such investments. Any net earnings with respect thereto shall be paid to Purchaser or, following the Effective Time, to the Surviving Corporation. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose except as provided in this Agreement.

9

(b)Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Agent to mail to each record holder of certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (i) a notice of the effectiveness of the Merger, (ii) a form letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Agent, and (iii) instructions for surrendering such Certificates and receiving the Merger Consideration, in respect thereof.

(c)Promptly following the surrender to the Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate (other than a certificate representing Dissenting Shares or Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.6(b)) shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, cash in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, and (B) the Merger Consideration, which amounts shall be paid by Agent by check. No interest or dividends shall be paid or accrued on the consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificate. If the consideration provided for herein is to be delivered in the name of a party other than the party in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of such delivery that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer, that such party establishes to the satisfaction of Parent and the Surviving Corporation that such transfer would not violate any applicable federal or state securities Laws, and that the party requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such delivery to a party other than the registered holder of the Certificate, or that such party shall establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.08(c), each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares or Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.6(b)) shall represent, for all purposes, only the right to receive the payment of the amount of cash described in this Section 2.8(c).

(d)The consideration issued upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly represented thereby. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.

10

(e)Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed at the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any former stockholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall, subject to Section 2.8(f), thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation as a general unsecured creditor for payment of any Merger Consideration, without any interest or dividends thereon, that may be payable with respect to Shares held by such stockholder.

(f)None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Agent shall be liable to a holder of Certificates or any other person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to the date the amounts payable with respect thereto would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g)In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (in form and substance acceptable to the Surviving Corporation and the Agent) of that fact by the person (who shall be the record owner of such Certificate) claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, the Agent and Parent may, in their discretion, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as they may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Agent or Parent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.9Withholdings. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Options or purchase rights under the Company ESPP such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any of their respective Subsidiaries or Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares or Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Agent.

2.10Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or Purchaser, the Company and its officers and directors shall be deemed to have granted to the Surviving Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments and assurances in Law and to take all acts necessary, proper or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation, and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are authorized in the name of the Company to take any and all such action.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered to Parent by the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) (it being understood that any information set forth in one section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to apply to and qualify the section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number and each other section or subsection of this Agreement to which the relevance of such disclosure is manifest from such information without the need to review or examine any agreements or documents referenced therein), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Purchaser as follows:

3.1Organization and Standing. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state of Delaware with the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (except, in the case of good standing, for entities organized under the Laws of any jurisdiction that does not recognize such concept) with the requisite corporate or company power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company and each Subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the property it owns, leases or operates requires it to so qualify, except (i) in the case of good standing, for entities organized under the Laws of any jurisdiction that does not recognize such concept and (ii) where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing in such jurisdiction would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or in material default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any provision of its bylaws, each as in effect on the date hereof (the “Company Certificate” and the “Company Bylaws”, respectively), and no Subsidiary of the Company is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or in material default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any provision of its bylaws (or comparable organizational documents), each as in effect on the date hereof. The Company has heretofore furnished to Parent a complete and correct copy of the Company Certificate and the Company Bylaws, as well as complete and correct copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of each of its Subsidiaries.

12

A “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change or effect that (i) would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent or prohibit the Company from consummating the Offer and the Merger; provided, however, that no event, change or effect directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to any of the following shall constitute, or be considered in determining whether there has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (t) changes in United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or the interpretation thereof, (u) compliance with the terms of, or the taking of any action required by, this Agreement or consented to by Parent, (v) any changes in the market price or trading volume of Shares (it being understood that the underlying cause of any such change may be taken into consideration in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has or would reasonably be expected to occur), (w) any changes in the general economy, financial market or political conditions in the United States or global economy as a whole, (x) economic or regulatory conditions in the industry or industries in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries operates to the extent that it does not materially and disproportionately affect the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (y) the public announcement of, or the public or industry knowledge relating to, the execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, actual or threatened actions or inactions of employees, customers or vendors), or (z) any changes, events or conditions relating to any act of terrorism, war, national or international calamity or any similar event.

3.2Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth (i) a complete and accurate list of all direct and indirect majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and (ii) the Company’s percentage ownership of the voting securities thereof, as well as a complete and accurate list of all equity or other ownership interests in any other entities. The Company is not subject to any obligation or requirement to provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in any entity or enterprise that is not wholly-owned by the Company. The Company owns directly or indirectly all of the outstanding shares of capital stock (or other ownership interests having by their terms voting power to elect a majority of directors or others performing similar functions with respect to such Subsidiary) of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries, free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, claims or other encumbrances. Each of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, puts, calls, agreements, understandings, claims or other commitments or rights of any type relating to the issuance, sale, repurchase or transfer of any capital stock or other securities of any Subsidiary of the Company, nor are there outstanding any securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock or other securities of any Subsidiary of the Company, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has any obligation of any kind to issue any additional shares of capital stock or other securities of any Subsidiary of the Company or to pay for or repurchase any shares of capital stock or other securities of any Subsidiary of the Company.

13

5.2Merger Without a Stockholder Meeting; Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Stockholder Meeting. In the event that Parent and Purchaser shall collectively own at least ninety percent (90%) of the Shares immediately following either the Acceptance Date and the expiration of any subsequent offering period(s) or the Top-Up Option Closing, as applicable, the parties hereto agree to take all necessary and appropriate action (including transfer of any Shares held by Parent to Purchaser) to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Acceptance Date and the expiration of any subsequent offering period(s) or the Top-Up Option Closing, as applicable, without a meeting of stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL. In the event Parent and Purchaser do not collectively own at least ninety percent (90%) of the Shares immediately following the Acceptance Date and the expiration of any subsequent offering period(s) or the Top-Up Option Closing, as applicable, then as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Date and the expiration of any subsequent offering period(s) or the Top-Up Option Closing, as applicable, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement relating to a meeting of Company stockholders to approve this Agreement and the Merger (such proxy statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the “Proxy Statement”), and shall, as soon as practicable, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of approving this Agreement and the Merger. Each of the Company, the Parent and the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, after consultation with the other parties hereto, to respond to all SEC comments with respect to the Proxy Statement and to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders at the earliest practicable date. The Proxy Statement shall comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and any other Law and shall contain (or shall be amended in a timely manner to contain) all information which is required to be included therein in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and any other Law. Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement and any amendments thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, provided that Parent and Purchaser shall review and respond to drafts of the Proxy Statement and any amendments thereto in a commercially reasonable manner. At the times the Proxy Statement is filed with the SEC, sent to the stockholders of the Company and of the Stockholder Meeting, the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to any information supplied by Parent or Purchaser or any of their respective representatives that is contained in or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement. At the Stockholder Meeting, Parent shall cause all of the Shares then owned by Parent and Purchaser to be voted in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the Merger. Parent shall not, and shall cause Purchaser not to sell, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber or subject to lien or otherwise dispose of (or agree to do any of the foregoing) any of the Shares then owned by Parent and Purchaser prior to cancellation thereof pursuant to Section 2.6(b).

5.3Filings and Consents.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, accounts and representatives to) consult and fully cooperate with and provide assistance to each other in filing the required notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”) and any filings and consents under non-U.S. Laws intended to prohibit, restrict, or regulate actions or transactions having the purpose or effect of monopolization, restraint of trade, harm to competition or effectuating foreign investment (“Foreign Antitrust Laws”), if applicable, and to cause the early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act or such Foreign Antitrust Laws; provided, however, that no party shall be under any obligation to divest any assets or hold separate any assets or take any other similar measures in connection with any demand therefor by any Governmental Authority as a pre-condition to the approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by such Governmental Authority. Prior to making any application to or filing with any Governmental Authority under the HSR Act or any Foreign Antitrust Laws, each party shall provide the other party with drafts thereof (excluding any confidential information included therein) and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts. Subject to Section 7.5, if applicable, each of Parent and the Company shall pay one half of the fees associated with any required filing to be made with any Governmental Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

37

(b)Without limiting the obligations set forth in Section 5.3(a) above, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other parties hereto in timely making all filings and timely seeking all such consents, approvals, permits, authorizations and waivers required to be made or obtained by the other parties from any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with or as a condition to the Offer or Merger. Prior to making any application to or filing with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, each party shall provide the other parties with drafts thereof (excluding any confidential information included therein) and afford the other parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose of this Section 5.3, the proper officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall take all such necessary action.

5.4Access to Information. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 7, and subject to the requirements of any applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors and other representatives (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) to, give Parent and Purchaser and their respective directors, officers, employees, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors and other representatives (collectively, the “Parent Representatives”) access, in a manner reasonably designed to minimize disruption to the operations of the Company, upon reasonable notice and during the Company’s normal business hours, to the offices and other facilities and to the books and records of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and shall cause the Company Representatives to furnish or make available to Parent, Purchaser and the Parent Representatives such financial and operating data and such other information with respect to the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent, Purchaser or the Parent Representatives may from time to time reasonably request. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to afford such access to the extent that it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would cause a violation of any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, would likely result in a loss of privilege or trade secret protection to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or would constitute a violation of any applicable Law. Unless otherwise required by Law, each of Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Parent Representatives to, hold any such information in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Company, and notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated March 24, 2008 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Parent and the Company shall apply to all information furnished to any Parent Representative by any Company Representative hereunder or thereunder.

5.5Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the parties hereto shall promptly notify the others in writing of (i) receipt of any written notice from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the Offer or the Merger, and (ii) any material claims, actions, proceedings or governmental investigations commenced or, to its Knowledge, threatened, involving or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets. The Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing if any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement has become, to the Company’s Knowledge, untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or if any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy, in any material respect, any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in any such case if and only to the extent that such untruth or inaccuracy, or such failure could reasonably be expected to cause, individually or in the aggregate, any of the conditions to the Offer set forth in clauses (B), (C) or (D) of Annex A to fail to be satisfied at the Expiration Date. Parent shall prompt notify the Company in writing if any representation or warranty made by Parent or Purchaser in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate, or if any failure of Parent or Purchaser to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in any such case if and only to the extent that such untruth or inaccuracy, or such failure, could reasonably be expected to give the Company the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(b). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no such notification, nor any information or Knowledge obtained pursuant to Section 5.4, shall affect the representations, warranties or covenants of any party or the conditions to the obligations of any party hereunder, nor shall it limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

38

5.6Public Announcements. Each of the parties hereto agrees that, promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall issue a press release, in a form mutually agreed upon by the parties, announcing the execution of this Agreement, and file a current report with the SEC on Form 8-K attaching the press release and a copy of this Agreement as exhibits. Thereafter, prior to issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Offer or the Merger, the parties agree to provide each other with a copy of any such press release or statement for review, and not to issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and review, unless required by applicable Law.

5.7Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance

(a)The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions with respect to indemnification and related matters as are set forth in the Company Certificate and Company Bylaws as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not prior to the six (6) year anniversary of the Closing Date be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time were entitled to indemnification and related matters under the Company Certificate, the Company Bylaws or any other indemnification agreement in effect prior to the date hereof in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.

(b)Without limiting Section 5.7(a) or any additional rights that an Indemnified Party may have under any agreement or otherwise, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is or has been prior to the date of this Agreement a director or executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all expenses, damages, losses, judgments, settlements and other liabilities (“Losses”) in connection with any claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”), to which any Indemnified Party is or may become a party to by virtue of his or her service as a director or executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and arising out of actions or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, including all actions taken or omitted in connection with this Agreement and the Offer, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and as provided in the Company Certificate and Company Bylaws as in effect at the date hereof.

39

(c)Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.7 after the Effective Time, upon learning of any such Claim, shall notify the Surviving Corporation thereof. In the event of a Claim, the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and, if it so assumes such defense, the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if a conflict of interest exists between the Surviving Corporation and one or more Indemnified Parties as to a Claim, the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall have the right to participate, through one (1) counsel of its or their choosing, in the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim, and the legal and other expenses thereof shall be paid for by the Surviving Corporation. In the event the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties retain separate counsel pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Surviving Corporation shall nonetheless be entitled to sole control of the defense and settlement of such Claim, so long as, in the case of settlement, such settlement involves only the payment of monies and includes a complete release in favor of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Surviving Corporation shall not have any obligation hereunder to an Indemnified Party if a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d)On or prior to the Acceptance Date, the Company or Parent shall purchase “tail” insurance policies for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability coverage (“D&O Insurance”) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time providing such coverages that are no less favorable than the policies maintained by the Company as of the date hereof, with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to all such coverage in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies (the “Tail Policy”). Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and perform under all indemnification agreements entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. In the event that the carriers do not make the Tail Policy available to the Company for any reason, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain the Company’s existing D&O Insurance policy (or a comparable policy) for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time; provided, however, that if the annual premium paid for such insurance at any time following the Closing shall exceed 200% of the per annum rate of premium paid by the Company as of the date of this Agreement for such insurance, then Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide as much coverage as shall then be available at an annual premium equal to 200% of such rate.

(e)In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

40

(f)This Section 5.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties referred to herein, their heirs, legal representatives, successors, assigns and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Surviving Corporation and its successors and assigns.

5.8Further Assurances; Reasonable Efforts. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to consummate, as expeditiously as practicable, the Offer and the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to eliminating the effect of any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “interested stockholder” or similar anti-takeover statute or regulation (each, a “Takeover Statute”) applicable to the Company, Parent, Purchaser, this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, or, if such effect cannot be eliminated, complying with, and using commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other parties hereto in complying with, such Takeover Statutes.

5.9[intentionally deleted]

5.10No Solicitation.

(a)From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Acceptance Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit its Subsidiaries or its executive officers and directors to, and the Company shall not authorize or knowingly permit any Company Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage, or take any other action intended to facilitate any inquiry in connection with, or the making of any proposal by any party that constitutes, an Acquisition Proposal (other than the Offer and the Merger), (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any party (other than Parent, Purchaser or the Parent Representatives) regarding an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) furnish to any party (other than Parent, Purchaser or the Parent Representatives) any information intended to facilitate an Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to, or otherwise endorse, any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.10(a) shall prohibit the Company Board from furnishing information to, or engaging in discussions or negotiations with, any party that makes an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if (A) the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failing to take such action would be substantially likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, (B) the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, (C) prior to furnishing such information to, or engaging in discussions or negotiations with, such party, the Company receives from such party an executed confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to the Company, in all material respects, than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, and (D) the Company notifies Parent prior to taking any such action (which notice shall include a complete and correct copy of such proposal). The Company agrees that it shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

41

(b)The Company shall, within one Business Day after the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, notify Parent of and provide Parent with a complete and correct copy of such Acquisition Proposal. After such initial notice, the Company shall (within one (1) Business Day) notify Parent and, if applicable, provide complete and correct copies of any material change or other material development with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal, including material amendments as to price or the other material terms thereof.

(c)The Company Board shall not withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser) or propose publicly to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser) the Company Board Recommendation, or recommend, or propose publicly to recommend, the approval or adoption of any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acquisition Proposal made by Parent) (such action is referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”; provided, however that the failure of the Company Board to remain unanimous shall not be considered an Adverse Recommendation Change as long as the Company Board Recommendation continues to have the support of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Company Board) unless (i) the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that the failure to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change would be substantially likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, (ii) in the event such Adverse Recommendation Change is the result of having received an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall have complied in all material respects with this Section 5.10 with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, (iii) the Company shall have given Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of its intent to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and, in the event such Adverse Recommendation Change is the result of having received an Acquisition Proposal, attaching a complete and correct copy of such Acquisition Proposal (it being agreed that any amendment to the amount or form of consideration of the Acquisition Proposal shall require a new notice and a new three (3) Business Day period), (iv) during such five (5) (or three (3), as applicable) Business Day period, the Company, consistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties, engages in good faith negotiations with Parent with respect to such changes to the terms of the Offer, the Merger and this Agreement as may be proposed by Parent, and (v) the Company does not receive from Parent a definitive and binding offer to enter into a definitive agreement which the Company Board determines, in good faith in consultation with its financial advisors, is at least as favorable to the stockholders of the Company as the Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a communication by the Company Board to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 of the Exchange Act shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change, but any statement by the Company pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) that does not contain a recommendation to Company stockholders to accept the Offer shall be considered an Adverse Recommendation Change.

42

(d)If at any time prior to the Acceptance Date, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to accept an unsolicited Superior Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.10 would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, the Company Board may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement, and any such termination shall be void and of no force and effect, unless (i) the Company pays to Parent the Termination Payment required by Section 7.5(a), and (ii) the Company shall have complied in all respects with the provisions of Section 5.10(c)(ii)-(iv) applicable to an Adverse Recommendation Change resulting from such Superior Proposal, regardless of whether an Adverse Recommendation Change in fact occurs.

(e)“Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any offer or proposal for, or any indication of interest in, (i) any direct or indirect acquisition of twenty percent (20%) or more of the total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) any direct or indirect acquisition of twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (including a self-tender offer) that if consummated would result in any party beneficially owning twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) any public announcement of an agreement, proposal or plan to do any of the foregoing, other than the Offer and the Merger.

(f)“Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide Acquisition Proposal by a third party that the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with an independent financial advisor, to be more favorable to, and in the best interests of, the stockholders of the Company, taking into account (i) all the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement (including any proposal or offer by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.10(b)), and (ii) all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects (including the timing and likelihood of consummation) of such proposal; provided, however, that if the Acquisition Proposal consists entirely of cash consideration, such Acquisition Proposal shall not be considered a “Superior Proposal” unless the per share cash consideration payable to holders of Shares represented by the Acquisition Proposal exceeds the Offer Consideration (or such greater amount as Parent and Purchaser may have offered in response to the Acquisition Proposal); provided, further, that for purposes of this definition, the references in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” to “twenty percent (20%)” shall be deemed to be a reference to “at least fifty percent (50%).”

(g)Any breach by a Company Subsidiary, or an executive officer or director of the Company, of this Section 5.10 shall be deemed a breach by the Company.

5.11Deregistration. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate with the other parties in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to terminate the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act promptly following the Effective Time.

5.12Option to Acquire Additional Shares.

(a)The Company hereby grants to Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase up to a number of newly-issued shares of common stock of the Company (the “Top-Up Option Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares that when added to the number of Shares collectively owned by Parent and Purchaser at the time of such exercise shall constitute one share more than ninety percent (90%) of the Shares (inclusive of such Top-Up Option Shares) at a purchase price per Top-Up Option Share (the “Top-Up Option Purchase Price”) equal to the Offer Consideration or such higher price per share, if applicable, paid upon the Acceptance Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the number of Top-Up Option Shares exceed (i) a number that would require the Company to obtain approval of its stockholders under applicable Law, or under the regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Company, in connection with such issuance, or (ii) the Company’s then authorized and unissued shares of common stock. Purchaser may exercise the Top-Up Option at any time after the Acceptance Date. Purchaser shall exercise the Top-Up Option by sending the Company a written notice (an “Exercise Notice,” and the date on which such Notice is given, the “Notice Date”) specifying the denominations of the certificate or certificates evidencing the Top-Up Option Shares which Purchaser wishes to receive and the place for the closing of the purchase and sale pursuant to the Top-Up Option (the “Top-Up Option Closing”) and a date not earlier than one (1) Business Day nor later than five (5) Business Days after the Notice Date for the Top-Up Option Closing; provided, however, that (i) if the Top-Up Option Closing cannot be consummated by reason of any applicable Laws, the period of time that otherwise would run pursuant to this sentence shall run instead from the date on which such restriction on consummation has expired or been terminated, and (ii) without limiting the foregoing, if prior notification to or approval of any Governmental Authority is required in connection with such purchase, Purchaser and the Company shall promptly file the required notice or application for approval and shall cooperate in the expeditious filing of such notice or application, and the period of time that otherwise would run pursuant to this sentence shall run instead from the date on which, as the case may be, (A) any required notification period has expired or been terminated or (B) any required approval has been obtained, and in either event, any requisite waiting period has expired or been terminated. The Company shall, promptly after receipt of the Exercise Notice, deliver a written notice to Purchaser confirming the number of Top-Up Option Shares and the Top-Up Option Purchase Price therefor.

(b)At the Top-Up Option Closing (i) the Company shall deliver to Purchaser (against payment as herein provided) a certificate or certificates evidencing the applicable number of Top-Up Option Shares (in the denominations designated by Purchaser in the Exercise Notice) and (ii) Purchaser shall purchase each Top-Up Option Share from the Company at the Top-Up Option Purchase Price specified in Section 5.12(a) above. Payment by Purchaser of the Top-Up Option Purchase Price for the Top-Up Option Shares may be made, at the option of Purchaser, by delivery of (i) immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by Company and/or (ii) a promissory note, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and in a principal face amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Top-Up Option Purchase Price, which promissory note shall be payable in full with accrued interest immediately at the Effective Time. Failure or refusal of the Company to confirm the number of Top-Up Option Shares or the Top-Up Option Purchase Price as required by Section 5.12(a) above or to designate a bank account for receipt of wire transfer shall not preclude Purchaser from exercising the Top-Up Option by delivering a bank check or promissory note in the amount of the Top-Up Option Purchase Price to the Company at the address set forth in Section 8.6 no later than the date of the Top-Up Option Closing. Upon the delivery by Purchaser to the Company of the Top-Up Option Purchase Price for the Top-Up Option Shares, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Purchaser shall be deemed the holder of record of the Top-Up Option Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing the Top-Up Option Shares shall not then be actually delivered to Purchaser. The Company shall pay all expenses, and any and all federal, state and local taxes and other charges, that may be payable in connection with the preparation, issuance, and delivery of stock certificates under this Section 5.12.

44

(c)The Top-Up Option shall terminate on the “Option Termination Date,” which shall occur upon the earlier to occur of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7. Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Option Termination Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase, and, as described in Section 5.12(b), upon tender of payment of the Top-Up Option Purchase Price shall be deemed to have purchased, the Top-Up Option Shares if it has provided the Exercise Notice to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof prior to such termination, and the occurrence of the Option Termination Date shall not affect any rights hereunder which by their terms do not terminate or expire prior to or as of such date.

5.13Directors.

(a)Promptly upon the Acceptance Date, and from time to time thereafter, Parent, may, but shall not be required to, designate up to such number of directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number, on the Company Board as shall give Parent representation on the Company Board equal to the product of the number of directors on the Company Board (after giving effect to such new Parent designated directors) and the percentage that the number of Shares purchased in the Offer bears to the number of Shares outstanding, and the Company shall, upon request of Parent, promptly increase the size of the Company Board and/or use its reasonable best efforts to secure the resignations of such number of directors as is necessary to provide Parent with such level of representation and shall cause Parent’s designees to be so elected. The Company shall also use its reasonable best efforts to cause persons designated by Parent to constitute the same percentage as is on the entire Company Board to be on (i) each committee of the Company Board, (ii) the board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) each committee of each such board, in each case only to the extent permitted by applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.13, the Parent and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that, at all times prior to the Effective Time, at least two (2) of the members of the Company Board are Continuing Directors; provided, however, that (i) if at any time prior to the Effective Time there shall be less than two (2) Continuing Directors serving as directors of the Company for any reason, then the Company Board shall cause an individual or individuals selected by the remaining Continuing Director(s) to be appointed to serve on the Company Board (and any such individual shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director for all purposes under this Agreement), and (ii) if at any time prior to the Effective Time no Continuing Directors remain on the Company Board, then the Company Board shall appoint two (2) individuals who are not officers, employees or Affiliates of the Company, Parent or Purchaser to serve on the Company Board (and such individuals shall be deemed to be Continuing Directors for all purposes under this Agreement).

45

(b)The Company’s obligations to effect election of Parent’s designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder, if applicable. The Company shall promptly take all actions required pursuant to such Section and Rule in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 5.13, including mailing to its stockholders the information required by such Section and Rule which, unless Parent otherwise elects, shall be so mailed together with the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to Company and its officers and directors as is required under Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 5.13. Parent shall promptly supply, and be solely responsible for, any information with respect to itself and its designees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by such Section and Rule to Company, which information shall be true and correct in all material respects.

(c)During the period following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to this Section 5.13 until the Effective Time, the unanimous approval of the Continuing Directors then in office shall be required to authorize (i) any amendment or termination of this Agreement or abandonment by the Company or the Company Board of the Merger, (ii) any amendment to the Company Certificate or the Company Bylaws, other than as contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) any extension by the Company or the Company Board of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Purchaser, including any extension of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.1 or any extension of the Effective Time of the Merger to any time subsequent to the time of filing of the Certificate of Merger pursuant to Section 2.1, (iv) any waiver of any of the Company’s rights hereunder, or (v) any Adverse Recommendation Change.

(b)Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall receive credit for all purposes (including, without limitation, for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to receive benefits) under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any Subsidiary.

(c)Nothing in this Section 5.14 shall be construed to prevent termination of any individual employee, and except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.14, no provision of this Agreement shall prevent the Surviving Corporation from changing benefits available for any individual employee, or amending or terminating any particular plan.

46

(d)Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall be permitted to take such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Merger by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt to the maximum extent reasonably possible under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(a)pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.10; or

(b)if there has been a breach by Parent or Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent or Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, which breach is reasonably likely to result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect, except where such breach (if curable) shall have been cured prior to the earlier of (i) ten (10) Business Days following notice from the Company to Parent of such failure, and (ii) the Offer Outside Date.

7.5Payment of Fees and Expenses

(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated:

(i) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.3(a);

(ii) by Parent or Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.4(b);

(b)In the event this Agreement is terminated by Parent or Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(b) (but only if the Minimum Condition has not been met by such date) or Section 7.4(a) (but, if the termination is based on a breach of a representation or warranty of the Company, only if such breach was directly or indirectly attributable in whole or in part to the actions of the Company), and, in either case, an Acquisition Proposal with respect to a Subsequent Transaction has been publicly made (and not publicly and irrevocably withdrawn) prior to the earlier of the termination of the Offer or the Outside Date, and, if within twelve (12) months of the date of such termination, the Company enters into a letter of intent, written agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement with respect to, or publicly discloses, a Subsequent Transaction, the Company shall, upon the consummation of such Subsequent Transaction, pay to Parent an amount equal to the Termination Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent. For purposes of this Section 7.5(b), a “Subsequent Transaction” means a transaction the proposal of which would constitute an Acquisition Proposal (substituting 51% for the 20% thresholds set forth in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal”).

(c)Except for the right to receive the payments required pursuant to Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(b) above, if applicable, each of the parties hereto shall bear its own expenses incurred by or on behalf of such party in preparing for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the consummation of the Offer and the Merger.

(d)Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. If the Company fails to promptly pay the amounts contemplated by Section 7.5(a) or 7.5(b), as applicable, and in order to obtain payment of such amounts, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for some or all of such amounts, the Company shall additionally pay to Parent and Purchaser’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such suit, as well as an interest on the Termination Payment, at the prime rate of Wells Fargo N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

7.6Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article 7, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party or its stockholders, directors, officers, employees or representatives, except as otherwise prescribed in Section 8.2 and except that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for a willful breach of, or fraud in connection with, this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Section 5.7, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies.

8.2No Survival. None of the representations, warranties and agreements made in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive beyond the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.2 shall not limit any covenant or agreement which by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the agreements set forth in Article 2, Section 5.7 and Article 8 shall survive the Effective Time and those set forth in the last sentence of Section 5.4, Section 7.5 and this Section 8.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

8.3Modification or Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that after any such approval, there shall not be made any amendment that either changes the amount or type of consideration into which the Shares shall be converted pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise by Law requires the further approval by such stockholders without such further approval. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties.

50

At any time prior to the Effective Time, a party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) subject to Section 8.3, waive compliance by the other parties with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

8.11Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, unless the effects of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability would prevent the parties from realizing the major portion of the economic benefits of the Merger that they currently anticipate obtaining therefrom, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Offer and the Merger are fulfilled to the extent possible.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

53

8.13Enforcement of Agreement.

8.14Calculation of Share Ownership.

A-1

(C)the representation and warranty of the Company set forth in Section 3.6(b) of the Agreement shall not be true and correct as of the Expiration Date as though then made on and as of that date;

The failure by Parent or Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right and may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

Should the Offer be terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, all tendered Shares shall forthwith be returned by the Agent to the tendering stockholders.

Amendment No. 1 to Rights Agreement

S-1

EX-10.1

SHAREHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This SHAREHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 14, 2008, by and among Best Buy Co., Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), Puma Cat Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and the holders of capital stock of Napster, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”) identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (each a “Shareholder,” and collectively the “Shareholders”).

RECITALS

In order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of even date herewith, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and Company (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), Merger Sub has requested that the Shareholders, and the Shareholders have agreed to, enter into this Agreement.

As of the date hereof, each Shareholder is the holder of the shares of Company capital stock and/or options to purchase shares of Company capital stock listed opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A.

Capitalized terms used but not separately defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

Agreement to Tender

Section 1.01Agreement to Tender. Each Shareholder agrees to validly tender or cause to be validly tendered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer all of the shares of Company capital stock that such Shareholder owns as of the date hereof, as well as any additional shares of Company capital stock that such Shareholder may own, whether acquired by purchase, exercise of Options or otherwise, at any time after the date hereof (collectively, the “Shareholder Shares”). Within ten (10) business days after the commencement of the Offer (or within ten (10) business days after any Shareholder Shares are acquired by Shareholder during pendency of the Offer, if later), each Shareholder shall deliver to the depositary designated in the Offer all documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer. Each Shareholder agrees that, once its Shareholder Shares are tendered, such Shareholder will not withdraw any of such Shareholder Shares from the Offer, unless and until (i) the Offer shall have been terminated by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or (ii) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 6.01.

ARTICLE 2

Voting Agreement; Grant of Proxy

Section 2.01 Voting Agreement.

(a)Until the Termination Date (as defined in Section 6.01 hereof), each Shareholder hereby agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Shareholder Shares that such Shareholder is entitled to vote at the time of any vote of the shareholders of Company where such matters arise (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (ii) against any proposal or transaction which could prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger, and (iii) against any corporate action which would frustrate the purposes of, or prevent or delay the consummation of, the Merger.

(b)If any shareholder vote in respect of the Merger Agreement or the Merger is taken by written consent, the provisions of this Agreement imposing obligations in respect of or in connection with any vote of shareholders shall apply thereto.

(c)Each Shareholder shall retain at all times the right to vote his or her Shareholder Shares in such Shareholders’ sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in this Section 2.01 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s shareholders generally.

Section 2.02Proxy. Except with respect to any proxy delivered in connection with the Company’s 2008 annual meeting of shareholders and then only to the extent such proxy is not inconsistent with the voting agreement set forth in Section 2.01 above, each Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to the Shareholder Shares. By entering into this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby grants a limited irrevocable proxy, within the meaning of the DGCL, appointing Merger Sub as such Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in such Shareholder’s name, to vote, express consent or dissent, or otherwise to utilize such voting power in such manner and upon and limited to only those matters described in Section 2.01 above, as Merger Sub or its proxy or substitute shall, in Merger Sub’s sole discretion, deem proper with respect to the Shareholder Shares. The proxy granted by each Shareholder pursuant to this Section 2.02 is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of Merger Sub’s entering into the Merger Agreement, and such irrevocable proxy shall remain in effect until the Termination Date, notwithstanding the death or incapacity of such Shareholder. Such proxy shall be revoked on the Termination Date. Each Shareholder intends this limited proxy to be irrevocable and will take such further action and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of such proxy, including, without limitation, filing written notice thereof with the secretary of the Company or permitting Merger Sub, as such Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact, to file a copy of this Agreement with the secretary of the Company.

Section 2.03Capacity. Each Shareholder is only obligating himself or herself in his or her capacity as a shareholder of the Company and not agreeing to take any action or forego taking any action in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit any Shareholder, solely in such Shareholder’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company, from discharging such Shareholder’s obligations as an officer or director, including, but not limited to, the exercise of fiduciary duties under applicable law and all actions permitted under Section 5.10 of the Merger Agreement.

Section 2.04Shareholder Obligations Several and Not Joint. The obligations of each Shareholder hereunder shall be several and not joint and no Shareholder shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by any other Shareholder.

ARTICLE 3

Representations and Warranties of Shareholders

Each Shareholder represents and warrants to Merger Sub that:

Section 3.01Valid Title. There are no restrictions on Shareholder’s voting rights or rights of disposition with respect to the Shareholder Shares, except securities Law requirements. None of the Shareholder Shares are subject to any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Shareholder Shares (other than this Agreement).

2

Section 3.02Binding Effect. Assuming due and valid execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub, this Agreement is the valid and binding agreement of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally. The execution and delivery by Shareholder of this Agreement does not, and the performance by Shareholder of Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except where the failure to obtain such consent, approval, authorization or permit would not materially interfere with Shareholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.03Ownership of Company Securities. The shares of Company capital stock and options to purchase shares of Company capital stock set forth next to Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto are the only securities of Company beneficially owned by Shareholder.

Section 3.04Power and Authority. If Shareholder is an individual, Shareholder has the full legal right and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement, perform Shareholder’s obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. If Shareholder is not an individual, Shareholder (i) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, (ii) has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and (iii) has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 3.05Conflicting Obligations. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of Shareholder’s obligations hereunder do not, except to an extent that would not materially interfere with Shareholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, (i) conflict with or violate any organizational or formation document of Shareholder, (ii) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction, notice or decree applicable to Shareholder or by which any property or asset of Shareholder is bound or affected, (iii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, loan or credit agreement, franchise or other instrument or obligation, which may reasonably be expected to result in a transfer of ownership or voting control of any of such Shareholder’s Shares, (iv) result in the creation of a lien or other encumbrance on any of such Shareholder’s Shares, or (v) violate any applicable Law.

ARTICLE 4

Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub

Parent and Merger Sub jointly and severally represent and warrant to Shareholders that:

Section 4.01Corporate Power and Authority. Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the performance hereof have been duly authorized by the board of directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub and no other corporate action on the part of either Parent or Merger Sub is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance by Parent or Merger Sub of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and is a valid and binding Agreement of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally.

3

ARTICLE 5

Covenants of Shareholders

Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that:

Section 5.01No Proxies for, Sale of or Encumbrances on Shareholder Shares. Except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and except with respect to any proxy delivered in connection with the Company’s 2008 annual meeting of shareholders and then only to the extent such proxy is not inconsistent with the voting agreement set forth in Section 2.01 above, prior to the Termination Date, Shareholder shall not, without the prior written consent of Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, (a) grant any proxies or enter into any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of any Shareholder Shares, or (b) sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of, any Shareholder Shares during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder may transfer the Shareholder Shares (A) to a family member or trust for estate planning purposes, provided that, as a condition to any such transfer to a family member or trust, the transferee has agreed with Parent in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including granting a proxy as contemplated hereby) and to hold such Shareholder Shares subject to all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (B) to the Company in connection with the vesting of any restricted stock award and in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock incentive plan. Shareholder shall not seek or solicit any such sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition or any such contract, option or other arrangement or understanding.

ARTICLE 6

Miscellaneous

Section 6.01 Termination.This Agreement shall terminate automatically, without any notice or other action by any party, upon the earliest to occur of (x) the Acceptance Date, (y) the consummation of the Merger, or (z) the termination of the Merger Agreement. Each Shareholder shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately following (i) any change in the nature of the consideration payable in the Offer or the Merger, (ii) any decrease in consideration payable in the Offer or the Merger or (iii) any increase in the consideration payable to holders of Shareholder Shares that is not made equally available to holders of all shares of Company capital stock of the same class or series. The date of any termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.01 shall be referred to herein as the “Termination Date”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 6.01 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from liability, or otherwise limits the liability of any party hereto, for any breach of this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Parent and Merger Sub will cause the Shareholder Shares to be promptly returned to Shareholder.

Section 6.02 Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

Section 6.03Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to effectuate the intent of this Agreement, provided that no such action shall expand or otherwise alter the obligations of Shareholder hereunder.

4

Section 6.04Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that Merger Sub would suffer irreparable damage if for any reason any Shareholder failed to perform any of such Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement, and that Merger Sub would not have an adequate remedy at law in such event. Accordingly, Merger Sub shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce the performance of this Agreement by any Shareholder. This provision is without prejudice to any other rights that Merger Sub may have against each Shareholder for any failure to perform such Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.05Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, by cable, telegram or telex, or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to such party at its address set forth on the signature page hereto.

Section 6.08Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

Section 6.09Counterparts/Electronic Transmission.

Unless otherwise provided herein, the terms of Sections 6, 7.2 (only with respect to Inventions conceived or made by Employee during the period of his employment with Employer or its Affiliates), 8, 9, and 10 hereof shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

4. Duties.

4.1. Employee shall serve Employer and its Affiliates faithfully and to the best of his ability, and devote his full business time attention and efforts to the business and affairs of Employer and its Affiliates during normal business hours (and outside normal business hours as reasonably required) during the term of this Agreement, subject to holidays, leave and other paid time off taken in accordance with Employer’s plans and programs and to outside directorships permitted under Best Buy’s policy on outside directorships.

4.3. Employee shall comply with all written policies of Employer, or of Best Buy generally applicable to executives of Best Buy, that are not inconsistent with this Agreement.

3

4.4. During the term of this Agreement, and except for services with respect to charitable or non-profit organizations that do not unreasonably interfere with Employee’s duties and/or responsibilities to Employer and its Affiliates, Employee shall not perform services for, or take an active management role in, or become a member of the board of directors or similar body for, any other corporation, firm, entity or person without the prior written approval of Employer (which approval of Employer shall not be unreasonably withheld if Employee requests to become a member of the board of directors or similar body of a company that does not compete with Employer, Best Buy, or any of their respective Affiliates).

5. Compensation.

5.1. Base Salary. As compensation for the services to be rendered by Employee under this Agreement, Employer shall pay to Employee an annual base salary of $400,000.00, which salary shall be paid in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll procedures and policies, but not less frequently than in biweekly installments. Employee’s salary shall be subject to review by Employer in accordance with Employer’s salary review procedures as in effect from time to time and not less frequently than on an annual basis; provided that Employer may not decrease Employee’s base salary.

5.2. Short-Term Incentive Compensation. Employee shall be eligible for short-term incentive compensation with an incentive target of 45% of base salary and a maximum incentive payout of two times the target (90% of base salary). With respect to the short-term incentive compensation opportunity for the remainder of fiscal year 2009 (the fiscal year ending February 28, 2009), (a) the incentive formula will be based on Best Buy enterprise financial performance goals currently in effect for peer executives employed by Best Buy or any of its subsidiaries, provided that the short-term incentive compensation amount on which any short-term compensation payment for fiscal year 2009 is based shall not be less than 35% of base salary, (b) the short-term incentive compensation amount will be pro rated from the Acceptance Date with respect to the Offer under the Merger Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement) to February 28, 2009, and (c) such compensation will be payable only if the Acceptance Date is on or before December 31, 2008. With respect to the short-term incentive compensation opportunity for fiscal year 2010 (March 1, 2009 to February 27, 2010) and any subsequent fiscal year covered by this Agreement, (x) the incentive formula will be based on Employer financial performance goals (i.e., revenue growth and operating income or free cash flow actual results against fiscal year targets) and on Employee performance goals (against individual objectives) as reasonably established by David Morrish, EVP of Best Buy, in consultation with Employer’s Chief Executive Officer and Advisory Board, and (y) the short-term incentive compensation amount on which any short-term compensation payment for fiscal year 2010 or any subsequent fiscal year covered by this Agreement is based shall not be less than 35% of base salary. Future short term incentive goals and targets shall be reasonably established such that target levels of performance are reasonably attainable. To be entitled to any short-term incentive compensation amounts, Employee must be employed by Employer on the last day of the fiscal year to which such compensation relates. Any short-term incentive compensation amounts actually payable to Employee for a particular fiscal year shall be paid to Employee within 2 ½ months following the end of the Employer’s fiscal year to which such compensation relates, whether or not Employee is employed on the payment date.

5.3. Special Incentive Award. Contingent upon approval by the Compensation Committee of the Best Buy Board of Directors, Best Buy will grant to Employee a Special Incentive Award as described in Schedule 5.3 hereto, to be evidenced by an Award Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. If such approval is not obtained by February 28, 2009, Employee may terminate this Agreement, with immediate effect, for “Good Reason.”

4

5.4. Stock Option Award. Contingent upon approval by the Compensation Committee of the Best Buy Board of Directors, Best Buy will grant to Employee an option or options to purchase an aggregate 8,500 shares of Best Buy common stock, to be evidenced by a Stock Option Award Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto. These stock options will be granted under Best Buy’s 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan and will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of such Plan and the applicable Stock Option Award Agreement. The first vesting period of such options will be no later than the first anniversary of the date of grant by the Compensation Committee with all subsequent vesting dates measured from such date of grant, all as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Best Buy Board of Directors. If any approval of the Compensation Committee required under this Section 5.4 is not obtained by February 28, 2009, Employee may terminate this Agreement, with immediate effect, for “Good Reason.”

5.5. Participation in Benefit Plans. Employee will be entitled to participate in such benefit plans and programs as are established by Best Buy or Employer, from time to time, to the extent that his position, title, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make him eligible to participate and at a level which is commensurate with peer executives employed by Best Buy or any of its subsidiaries; provided that for a period of twelve (12) months from the Effective Date, any such plans and programs shall, in the aggregate, provide benefits to Employee that are not less favorable in the aggregate to Employee than the benefits in effect with respect to Employee immediately prior to the Merger, it being understood that the foregoing shall not require Employer to maintain any particular employee benefit plan, and that Employer shall not be required to maintain the same stock option or employee stock purchase plans as Employer maintained prior to the Merger. Employee’s participation in any benefit plans or programs shall be subject to the provisions, contributions, rules and laws applicable thereto.

5.6. Expenses. Employer shall pay or reimburse Employee for all travel and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by him in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, subject to Best Buy’s usual and customary documentation policies for reimbursement of business expenses.

5.7. Perquisites. Employee shall be entitled to perquisites generally provided by Best Buy from time to time, to the extent that his position, title, tenure, salary and other qualifications make him eligible to participate and at a level which is commensurate with peer executives employed by Best Buy. Employee shall be entitled to travel business class (first class when business class is not available) when in Employee’s judgment such class of travel is appropriate due to the length of the travel, type of aircraft and Employee’s physical condition at the time.

6. Confidential Information.

6.1. Employee shall not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone or use in any way (other than for the business of Employer or any of its Affiliates) any confidential or secret knowledge or information of Employer or any of its Affiliates which Employee has acquired or become acquainted with or shall acquire or become acquainted with prior to the termination of the period of his employment by Employer (including employment by Employer or any of its Affiliates), whether developed by himself or by others, including, without limitation, any trade secrets, confidential or secret designs, processes, formulae, plans, devices or material (whether or not patented or patentable) of Employer or any of its Affiliates, financial results or condition, business plans or projections of Employer or any of its Affiliates, any confidential customer lists of Employer or any of its Affiliates, any confidential or secret development or research work of Employer or any of its Affiliates, any lists of potential investments or acquisitions contemplated by Employer or any of its Affiliates, any plans, proposals or strategies of Employer or its Affiliates to expand, merge or engage in a business combination or relationship or any other confidential or secret aspects of the business of Employer or any of its Affiliates. Employee acknowledges that the above-described knowledge or information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of Employer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, acquired at great time and expense by Employer, its predecessors and its Affiliates, as the case may be, and that any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of Employer or any of its Affiliates would be wrongful and could cause irreparable harm to Employer and its Affiliates, as the case may be.

5

6.2. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality, however, shall not apply to any knowledge or information which (i) is now publicly known or which, through no act or omission of Employee, becomes publicly known, (ii) Employee rightfully possessed without an obligation of confidentiality before the date of this Agreement, or (iii) Employee divulges, furnishes or discloses in a truthful response to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process.

6.3. The confidentiality obligation of Employee shall remain in effect as long as the knowledge or information retains its confidential or secret nature.

7. Ventures; Assignment of Inventions.

7.1. Ventures. If, during the term of this Agreement, Employee is engaged in or associated with the planning or implementing of any project, event, publication, program or venture involving Employer or any of its Affiliates, or their respective trademarks or intellectual property, and a third party or parties, all rights in the project, event, publication, program or venture, to the extent that such rights may be claimed by Employee or Employer or any of its Affiliates, shall belong to Employer or its Affiliates, as the case may be. Except as approved by Employer’s Board of Directors, Employee shall not be entitled to any interest in such project, program or venture or to any commission, finder’s fee or other compensation in connection therewith other than the compensation to be paid to Employee as provided in this Agreement.

7.2. Assignment of Inventions.

7.2.1. Employee agrees that all Inventions made during his employment by Employer are the exclusive property of Employer.

7.2.2. Employee further agrees that he will:

7.2.2.1. promptly and fully disclose and describe all Inventions in writing to an officer of, or other person designated by, Employer and such disclosure shall include, if requested, a detailed report of the procedures employed and the results achieved by Employee; and

6

7.2.2.2. give Employer and its Affiliates all assistance they require to perfect, protect and use its worldwide rights to Inventions, including, but not limited to, signing all documents, doing all things and supplying all information that Employer may deem necessary or desirable to: (i) transfer or record the transfer of Employee’s entire right, title and interest in Inventions to Employer; and (ii) enable Employer and its Affiliates to obtain and maintain patent, copyright or trademark protection for Inventions anywhere in the world.

7.2.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, Employee and Employer agree that the provisions of this Section 7.2 requiring assignment of Inventions to Employer do not apply to any Invention that was developed by Employee entirely on Employee’s own time and without use of equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of Employer or any of its Affiliates, unless (a) the Invention relates (i) directly to the business of Employer or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) to Employer’s or any of its Affiliates actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or (b) the Invention results from any work performed by Employee for Employer or any of its Affiliates.

7.3. Copyrights. Employee agrees that Employer will own all copyrightable works created by Employee relating to the business of Employer and its Affiliates developed during his employment as “works made for hire” to the full extent provided for under U.S. or foreign law. To the extent any work of Employee does not qualify as a “work made for hire”, Employee agrees to assign all U.S. and foreign trademark, copyright, mask work registration, and other registrations and rights pertaining to that work to Employer.

8. Non-Solicitation. Throughout the term of Employee’s employment by Employer or its Affiliates and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, employ, solicit for employment, or advise or recommend to any other person, firm or corporation that they employ or solicit for employment any employee of Employer or any of its Affiliates. The parties hereto agree that Employer may suffer irreparable harm from a breach by Employee of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 8, and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate Employer for any such breach. Accordingly, Employee agrees that in the event of any breach by Employee of this Section 8, Employer or its Affiliates, successors or assigns shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce or prevent any violations of this Section 8 and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual damages. Such injunctive or equitable relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any right to recover money damages for any such breach.

9. Termination.

9.1. Death, Disability. This Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 3 hereof or of any extension thereof:

9.1.1. Immediately upon the date of Employee’s death; or

9.1.2. Immediately upon the date that Employee is unable to perform his duties hereunder due to a Disability.

9.2. Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason. This Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 3 hereof or of any extension thereof if Employee’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or Employee resigns for Good Reason.

7

9.3. Resignation Without Good Reason. This Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 3 hereof or of any extension thereof if Employee resigns for any reason other than Good Reason. Any resignation pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be effective thirty (30) days after Employee provides written notice to Employer of Employee’s intention to resign. Any resignation in accordance with this Section 9.3 shall not be deemed a breach by Employee of this Agreement.

9.4. Termination For Cause. This Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 3 hereof or of any extension thereof if Employee is terminated by Employer for Cause. Any termination pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall be effective immediately upon written notice from Employer to Employee.

9.5. Effect of Termination.

9.5.1. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason prior to or upon expiration of the term of this Agreement provided in Section 3 hereof or any extension thereof, Employer shall be obligated to pay Employee his salary, accrued and unpaid vacation, and benefits through the date of termination (including any notice periods), and unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to the date of termination in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.

9.5.2. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or Employee resigns for Good Reason pursuant to Section 9.2, then in addition to any amounts that may be due pursuant to Section 9.5.1 hereof:

9.5.2.1. Employer will continue to pay Employee’s salary for a period of eighteen (18) months after such termination of employment in substantially equal installments on Employer’s normal payroll dates; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.5.2.1, if Employee’s termination of employment is not a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder (including §1.409A-1(h)), then, if required in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest thereunder, payment of the continued salary benefits shall be delayed until such a separation from service occurs and the severance period shall commence on the date of such separation from service;

9.5.2.2. Until a separation from service occurs, Employee shall be entitled to participate in benefit plans and programs as provided in Section 5.5 hereof. If Employee elects, following a separation from service, to continue his health insurance coverage under COBRA, Employer will reimburse Employee for the cost of the premiums during the first twelve (12) months of such coverage; and any period of Employee’s COBRA continuation coverage for which the cost is reimbursed by Employer will count toward the eighteen (18) month duration of available continuation coverage, as provided under Federal law, and any similar coverage under applicable State law;

8

9.5.2.3. Employer will be obligated to pay Employee within thirty (30) days following such termination of employment (or if later, the date of Employee’s separation from service) a lump-sum amount equal to the greater of (i) the incentive target under the short-term incentive plan described in Section 5.2 hereof for the year in which such termination occurs, pro rated to the date of termination, or (ii) Employer’s reasonable estimate at the time of termination of employment of the actual amount payable under the short-term incentive plan described in Section 5.2 hereof for the year in which such termination occurs, pro rated to the date of termination;

9.5.2.4. the terms of the Special Incentive Award described in Section 5.3 hereof (including the Award Agreement) shall govern whether any compensation shall be payable upon such termination; and

9.5.2.5. the terms of the stock option award described in Section 5.4 hereof (including the terms of Best Buy’s 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan and Employee’s Stock Option Award Agreement thereunder) shall govern whether any portion of such award shall be exercisable upon such termination.

9.5.2.6. As a condition to the severance benefits described in this Section 9.5.2, Employee will enter into an agreement releasing all claims against Employer and its Affiliates, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, and all applicable rescission periods shall have expired without exercise. Employer’s obligations under this Section 9.5.2 immediately shall cease if Employee materially breaches any of the covenants in Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9.7 hereof.

9.5.3. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated prior to or upon expiration of the term of this Agreement provided in Section 3 hereof or any extension thereof, other than a termination described in Section 9.5.2 hereof, then in addition to any amounts that may be due pursuant to Section 9.5.1 hereof:

9.5.3.1. the terms of the short-term incentive plan described in Section 5.2 hereof shall govern whether any incentive shall be payable in the year of termination;

9.5.3.2. the terms of the Special Incentive Award described in Section 5.3 hereof (including the Award Agreement) shall govern whether any compensation shall be payable upon such termination;

9.5.3.3. the terms of the stock option award described in Section 5.4 hereof (including the terms of Best Buy’s 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan and Employee’s Stock Option Award Agreement thereunder) shall govern whether any portion of such award shall be exercisable upon such termination; and

9.5.3.4. thereafter, no salary, incentive, or any other benefits or amounts shall be payable or extended by Employer to Employee, except as required by Federal or State law or to the extent the Employee’s rights to such benefits or amounts were earned on the date of termination.

9

9.5.4. All amounts payable to Employee pursuant to Section 9.5.1, Section 9.5.2 and Section 9.5.3 shall be paid without regard to whether Employee has taken or takes actions to mitigate damages.

9.6. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Employee’s benefits under this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee shall be either delivered in full (without Employer paying any portion of the Excise Tax due upon such payment), or delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless Employer and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 9.6 shall be made in writing by Employer’s or an Affiliate’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and Employer for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 9.6, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. Employer and Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 9.6. Employer shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 9.6.

9.7. Surrender of Records and Property. Upon termination of his employment for any reason, Employee shall deliver promptly to Employer all records, manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, manuscripts, letter head, business cards, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, data, tables, calculations, computers/PDAs, security/ID cards, keys, computer files, cell phones, pagers, parking permits, company credit cards, financial statements or records, budgets or business plans or copies thereof, that are the property of Employer or any of its Affiliates and all other property, trade secrets and confidential information of Employer or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, all documents which in whole or in part contain any trade secrets or confidential information of Employer or any of its Affiliates, which in any of these cases are in his possession or under his control, provided, however, that Employee may retain his personal rolodex, address books, information relating to Employee’s compensation or benefits or relating to reimbursement of expenses and any agreement relating to the terms of Employee’s employment with Employer.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1. Governing Law. Recognizing that Employer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Best Buy, this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to its or any other jurisdiction’s conflict of laws provisions, except to the extent any of the provisions of California Labor Code are applicable. The parties hereby expressly consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of either the federal or state district courts located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

10

10.2. Entire Agreement. Once the Effective Date occurs, this Agreement, in conjunction with any exhibits, schedules, addenda, amendments, or other attachments hereto, contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, oral understandings, representations, warranties, and courses of conduct and dealing with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall control any conflicting similar provision in any other agreement, plan or program to which Employee may previously have been a party or participant in connection with his employment, except that all of Employee’s existing rights to indemnification with respect to any action or omission to act occurring or allegedly occurring prior to the Effective Date shall remain unaffected and undiminished as a result of the execution of this Agreement. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Existing Agreement, which shall be of no further force and effect, and Employer shall have no liability or obligations thereunder. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Effective Date therefore does not occur, this Agreement will be void and will create no rights and impose no liabilities or obligations on Employer or Employee.

10.3. Withholding Taxes. Employer may withhold from any benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

10.4. Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of Employee’s employment until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after Employee’s separation from service (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Employee’s death. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Employee following a termination of employment that are not so paid by reason of this Section 10.4 shall be paid as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days, after the date that is six (6) months after Employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of Employee’s death). The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to Section 5.6 or Section 9.5.2.2 are taxable to Employee, any reimbursement payment due to Employee pursuant to such provisions shall be paid to Employee on or before the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. The reimbursements pursuant to Section 5.6 or Section 9.5.2.2 are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such reimbursements that Employee receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements that Employee receives in any other taxable year.

10.5. Amendments. This Agreement, or any provisions hereof, may not be amended, supplemented, waived, or modified in any way, except by a written instrument signed by individuals authorized by the parties hereto.

10.6. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned, delegated, or subcontracted in whole or in part by either party without first obtaining the other party’s express written consent; provided, however, that Employer may assign, delegate, or subcontract this Agreement in whole or in part to a present or future Affiliate without obtaining Employee’s express written consent, provided that such present or future Affiliate expressly assumes the obligations of Employer under this Agreement, and providedfurther, that in the event of a sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of Employer with or to any other individual(s) or entity that is not an Affiliate, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of Employer hereunder. Any assignment, delegation, or subcontract not complying with the terms of this Section 10.6 shall be null and void. In the event of a proper assignment, delegation, or subcontract, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, legal representatives, delegatees, and subcontractees.

11

10.7. Waiver. Failure by either party to this Agreement to enforce or insist upon compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of its right to enforce or insist upon compliance with such provision, or other provisions in the future. A waiver by either party of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either party. Neither party shall be deemed to have waived any of its rights, powers, or remedies pursuant to this Agreement unless such waiver is contained in a written instrument signed by Employee or an authorized officer of Employer, as applicable.

10.8. Injunctive Relief. Employee agrees that it would be difficult to compensate Employer fully for damages for any violation of the provisions of Sections 6, 7, and 8 of this Agreement. Accordingly, Employee specifically agrees that Employer may be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce such provisions of this Agreement. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right of Employer to claim and recover damages in addition to injunctive relief.

10.9. Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted herefrom and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may validly and enforceably be covered. Employee acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement be given the construction which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

10.10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, approvals, consents, and other communications which are required or may be given hereunder shall be (i) in writing; (ii) addressed to the parties as set forth below, unless a party notifies the others of a change of address (in which case the latest noticed address shall be used); and (iii) deemed to have been duly given: (a) upon delivery thereof, if hand-delivered, (b) three (3) business days after being sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, (c) one (1) business day after delivery to a recognized overnight courier for next-business-day delivery, or (d) upon receipt thereof if transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means, provided receipt thereof is verified by the sender.

10.14. Indemnification. Employer and Best Buy each hereby agree to indemnify Employee and hold Employee harmless to the maximum extent provided under the by-laws or other organizational documents of Employer immediately prior to the Closing, or Best Buy, as applicable, or, if applicable state law provides the opportunity to afford greater protections to Employee, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable state law, against and in respect of any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses and damages resulting from Employee’s good faith performance of Employee’s duties and obligations with Employer, Best Buy or their respective Affiliates. This obligation shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, Best Buy or their respective Affiliates.

10.15. Limitation on Causes of Action. Neither party hereto may raise a claim of any nature relative to this Agreement (other than a claim brought in response to or pendent to a claim brought by the other party hereto) after the earlier of (i) the end of any period provided by the applicable statue of limitations or (ii) the date two (2) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or any extension thereof.

10.16. Remedies. No remedy made available to Employer by any of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy available to Employer at law or in equity.

Schedule 5.3

Special Incentive Award

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Special Incentive Award. The Special Incentive Award will be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of the 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended (“Omnibus Plan”) and the Award Agreement issued pursuant to the Omnibus Plan (substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B). This Schedule 5.3 is qualified in its entirety by such Omnibus Plan and Award Agreement.

Special Incentive Award

You will be eligible to receive a one-time Special Incentive Award (“Incentive Award”) pursuant the 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended, in the award target amount described below. The Incentive Award will be granted in two components, as follows:

·Time-Based Restricted Stock (35% of award)

·Performance Award (65% of award)

Award Target Amount

Plan Participant	Award Target Value		Component I: Restricted Stock*		Component II: Performance Award Target Value**
Wm Christopher Gorog	$	4,500,000	$	1,575,000	$	2,925,000

* You will be issued a number of whole shares of BBY common stock having such value, based on the closing BBY share price on the Grant Date of the Award.

** You may earn from 0% - 200% of the Performance Award Target Value depending on satisfaction of performance goals.

Component I. Time-Based Restricted Stock

Thirty-five percent (35%) of the Award Target Value will be delivered on the date of grant in the form of Best Buy time-based Restricted Stock in the amount described above. In order to earn the Restricted Stock you must remain employed by Employer as of each of the vesting dates described below, except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. Subject to your continued employment with Employer, the Restricted Stock will vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Vesting Schedule	Percentage
1st Anniversary of Grant Date		33.34	%
2nd Anniversary of Grant Date		33.33	%
3rd Anniversary of Grant Date		33.33	%

Component II. Performance Award

Sixty-five percent (65%) of the Award Target Value will consist of a Performance Award, which will be payable in the form of cash. You may earn 0% - 200% of the Performance Award Target Value (described above) based on achievement of specific performance goals, based on Napster results, during the period March 1, 2009 through March 3, 2012. The performance goals will be mutually determined by C. Gorog and D. Morrish, and approved by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of Best Buy’s Board of Directors. At the end of the performance period, whether and the extent to which the performance goals have been achieved will be determined based on audited financial statements prepared by Employer, in accordance with GAAP, and approved by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The performance goals and results may be adjusted, in limited circumstances, at the discretion of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The following is a sample performance table that would be applied with respect to the agreed upon performance metric(s) to determine the amount of the Performance Award Target Value that is earned:

17

Performance Metric Actual as % of Plan	% of Performance Award  Target Value Earned
200.0% or greater	200%
0% - 199.9%	Same percentage (0% – 199.9%) as Actual Performance compared to Plan

Illustration of Payment Calculation:

[Performance Award Target Value] X [% of Performance Award Target Value Earned] = [Performance Award Earned]

In order to earn any of the Performance Award, you must remain continuously employed by Employer through the end of the performance period (March 3, 2012), except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.

II. Option

2.1 Duration and Exercisability of Option. You may not exercise any portion of the Option prior to one year from the Award Date, and the Option expires 10 years after the Award Date (the “Expiration Date”). You may exercise the Option in cumulative installments of 25% on and after each of the first four anniversaries of the Award Date. The entire Option will vest earlier and become exercisable upon your Qualified Retirement, Disability or death or if, within 12 months following a Change of Control, your employment is terminated without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason. The Option may only be exercised by you during your lifetime, and may not be assigned or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

2.2 Exercise and Tax Withholding. The Option may be exercised in whole or in part by notice to Best Buy (through the Plan administrator or other means as shall be specified by Best Buy from time-to-time) stating the number of shares to be purchased under the Option and the method of payment. The notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price for all shares designated in the notice. Payment of the exercise price may be made by cash, check or delivery of previously owned shares of stock having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, or a combination thereof. The Option will not be eligible for treatment as a qualified or incentive stock option for federal income tax purposes. You are liable for any federal and state income or other taxes applicable upon the grant or exercise of the Option or the disposition of the underlying shares, and you acknowledge that you should consult with your own tax advisor regarding the applicable tax consequences. Upon exercise of the Option, Best Buy will withhold from the shares that would otherwise be delivered to you a number of shares having a fair market value equal to the amount of all applicable taxes required by Best Buy to be withheld or collected upon the exercise of the Option, unless your notice of exercise indicates your desire to satisfy such withholding obligations through the payment of cash or the delivery of previously acquired shares of Best Buy common stock, and such cash or shares are delivered to Best Buy promptly thereafter. You have no rights in the shares subject to the Option until such shares are received upon exercise of the Option.

2.3 Retirement, Disability, Death or Termination. Your employment with the Company Group may be terminated by your employer at any time for any reason (or no reason). If your employment is terminated by the Company Group without Cause or if you resign or otherwise voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company Group, you will have 60 days from the date of your termination to exercise the Option, to the extent the Option had vested as of your termination date. Upon your Qualified Retirement from the Company Group, you will have one year from the effective date of your retirement to exercise the Option. If you die while employed by the Company Group, the representative of your estate or your heirs will have one year from the date of your death to exercise the Option.

In no case, however, may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date. The Option may not be exercised following termination of your employment with the Company Group for Cause.

5.2. Short-Term Incentive Compensation.

These stock options will be granted under Best Buy’s 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan and will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of such Plan and the applicable Stock Option Award Agreement. The first vesting period of such options will be no later than the first anniversary of the date of grant by the Compensation Committee with all subsequent vesting dates measured from such date of grant, all as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Best Buy Board of Directors. If any approval of the Compensation Committee required under this Section 5.4 is not obtained by February 28, 2009, Employee may terminate this Agreement, with immediate effect, for “Good Reason.”

5.6. Participation in Benefit Plans. Employee will be entitled to participate in such benefit plans and programs as are established by Best Buy or Employer, from time to time, to the extent that his position, title, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make him eligible to participate; provided that for a period of twelve (12) months from the Effective Date, any such plans and programs shall, in the aggregate, provide benefits to Employee that are not less favorable in the aggregate to Employee than the benefits in effect with respect to Employee immediately prior to the Merger, it being understood that the foregoing shall not require Employer to maintain any particular employee benefit plan, and that Employer shall not be required to maintain the same stock option or employee stock purchase plans as Employer maintained prior to the Merger. Employee’s participation in any benefit plans or programs shall be subject to the provisions, contributions, rules and laws applicable thereto.

5.7. Expenses. Employer shall pay or reimburse Employee for all travel and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by him in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, subject to Best Buy’s usual and customary documentation policies for reimbursement of business expenses.

5

5.8. Vacation. During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to annual vacation on the same basis as in effect with respect to Employee immediately prior to the Merger.

6. Confidential Information.

6.1. Employee shall not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone or use in any way (other than for the business of Employer or any of its Affiliates) any confidential or secret knowledge or information of Employer or any of its Affiliates which Employee has acquired or become acquainted with or shall acquire or become acquainted with prior to the termination of the period of his employment by Employer (including employment by Employer or any of its Affiliates), whether developed by himself or by others, including, without limitation, any trade secrets, confidential or secret designs, processes, formulae, plans, devices or material (whether or not patented or patentable) of Employer or any of its Affiliates, financial results or condition, business plans or projections of Employer or any of its Affiliates, any confidential customer lists of Employer or any of its Affiliates, any confidential or secret development or research work of Employer or any of its Affiliates, any lists of potential investments or acquisitions contemplated by Employer or any of its Affiliates, any plans, proposals or strategies of Employer or its Affiliates to expand, merge or engage in a business combination or relationship or any other confidential or secret aspects of the business of Employer or any of its Affiliates. Employee acknowledges that the above-described knowledge or information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of Employer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, acquired at great time and expense by Employer, its predecessors and its Affiliates, as the case may be, and that any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of Employer or any of its Affiliates would be wrongful and could cause irreparable harm to Employer and its Affiliates, as the case may be.

6.2. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality, however, shall not apply to any knowledge or information which (i) is now publicly known or which, through no act or omission of Employee, becomes publicly known, (ii) Employee rightfully possessed without an obligation of confidentiality before the date of this Agreement, or (iii) Employee divulges, furnishes or discloses in a truthful response to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process.

6.3. The confidentiality obligation of Employee shall remain in effect as long as the knowledge or information retains its confidential or secret nature.

7. Ventures; Assignment of Inventions.

7.1. Ventures. If, during the term of this Agreement, Employee is engaged in or associated with the planning or implementing of any project, event, publication, program or venture involving Employer or any of its Affiliates, or their respective trademarks or intellectual property, and a third party or parties, all rights in the project, event, publication, program or venture, to the extent that such rights may be claimed by Employee or Employer or any of its Affiliates, shall belong to Employer or its Affiliates, as the case may be. Except as approved by Employer’s Board of Directors, Employee shall not be entitled to any interest in such project, program or venture or to any commission, finder’s fee or other compensation in connection therewith other than the compensation to be paid to Employee as provided in this Agreement.

6

7.2. Assignment of Inventions.

7.2.1. Employee agrees that all Inventions made during his employment by Employer are the exclusive property of Employer.

7.2.2. Employee further agrees that he will:

7.2.2.1. promptly and fully disclose and describe all Inventions in writing to an officer of, or other person designated by, Employer and such disclosure shall include, if requested, a detailed report of the procedures employed and the results achieved by Employee; and

7.2.2.2. give Employer and its Affiliates all assistance they require to perfect, protect and use its worldwide rights to Inventions, including, but not limited to, signing all documents, doing all things and supplying all information that Employer may deem necessary or desirable to: (i) transfer or record the transfer of Employee’s entire right, title and interest in Inventions to Employer; and (ii) enable Employer and its Affiliates to obtain and maintain patent, copyright or trademark protection for Inventions anywhere in the world.

7.2.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, Employee and Employer agree that the provisions of this Section 7.2 requiring assignment of Inventions to Employer do not apply to any Invention that was developed by Employee entirely on Employee’s own time and without use of equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of Employer or any of its Affiliates, unless (a) the Invention relates (i) directly to the business of Employer or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) to Employer’s or any of its Affiliates actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or (b) the Invention results from any work performed by Employee for Employer or any of its Affiliates.

7.3. Copyrights. Employee agrees that Employer will own all copyrightable works created by Employee relating to the business of Employer and its Affiliates developed during his employment as “works made for hire” to the full extent provided for under U.S. or foreign law. To the extent any work of Employee does not qualify as a “work made for hire”, Employee agrees to assign all U.S. and foreign trademark, copyright, mask work registration, and other registrations and rights pertaining to that work to Employer.

8. Non-Solicitation. Throughout the term of Employee’s employment by Employer or its Affiliates and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, employ, solicit for employment, or advise or recommend to any other person, firm or corporation that they employ or solicit for employment any employee of Employer or any of its Affiliates. The parties hereto agree that Employer may suffer irreparable harm from a breach by Employee of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 8, and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate Employer for any such breach. Accordingly, Employee agrees that in the event of any breach by Employee of this Section 8, Employer or its Affiliates, successors or assigns shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce or prevent any violations of this Section 8 and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual damages. Such injunctive or equitable relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any right to recover money damages for any such breach.

7

9. Termination.

9.1. Death, Disability. This Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 3 hereof or of any extension thereof:

9.1.1. Immediately upon the date of Employee’s death; or

9.1.2. Immediately upon the date that Employee is unable to perform his duties hereunder due to a Disability.

9.2. Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason. This Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 3 hereof or of any extension thereof if Employee’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or Employee resigns for Good Reason.

9.3. Resignation Without Good Reason. This Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 3 hereof or of any extension thereof if Employee resigns for any reason other than Good Reason. Any resignation pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be effective thirty (30) days after Employee provides written notice to Employer of Employee’s intention to resign. Any resignation in accordance with this Section 9.3 shall not be deemed a breach by Employee of this Agreement.

9.4. Termination For Cause. This Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 3 hereof or of any extension thereof if Employee is terminated by Employer for Cause. Any termination pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall be effective immediately upon written notice from Employer to Employee.

9.5. Effect of Termination.

9.5.1. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason prior to or upon expiration of the term of this Agreement provided in Section 3 hereof or any extension thereof, Employer shall be obligated to pay Employee his salary, accrued and unpaid vacation, and benefits through the date of termination (including any notice periods), and unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to the date of termination in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.

9.5.2. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or Employee resigns for Good Reason pursuant to Section 9.2, then in addition to any amounts that may be due pursuant to Section 9.5.1 hereof:

9.5.2.1. Employer will pay Employee a lump sum cash amount equal to Employee’s highest annual base salary rate in effect at any time in the preceding year, such amount to be paid within thirty (30) days following such termination of employment; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.5.2.1, if Employee’s termination of employment is not a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder (including §1.409A-1(h)), then, if required in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest thereunder, payment of the lump sum cash amount shall be delayed until such a separation from service occurs and shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the date of such separation from service;

8

9.5.2.2. Until a separation from service occurs, Employee shall be entitled to participate in benefit plans and programs as provided in Section 5.6 hereof. If Employee elects, following a separation from service, to continue his health insurance coverage under COBRA, Employer will reimburse Employee for the cost of the premiums during the first twelve (12) months of such coverage; and any period of Employee’s COBRA continuation coverage for which the cost is reimbursed by Employer will count toward the eighteen (18) month duration of available continuation coverage, as provided under Federal law, and any similar coverage under applicable State law;

9.5.2.3. Employer will be obligated to pay Employee within thirty (30) days following such termination of employment (or if later, the date of Employee’s separation from service) a lump-sum amount equal to the greater of (i) the incentive target under the short-term incentive plan described in Section 5.2 hereof for the year in which such termination occurs, pro rated to the date of termination, or (ii) Employer’s reasonable estimate at the time of termination of employment of the actual amount payable under the short-term incentive plan described in Section 5.2 hereof for the year in which such termination occurs, pro rated to the date of termination;

9.5.2.4. Any unvested portion of the Assumed Equity Value shall become vested upon such termination of employment and shall be paid within thirty (30) days following such termination;

9.5.2.5. the terms of the Long-Term Incentive Award described in Section 5.4 hereof (including the Award Agreement) shall govern whether any amounts shall be payable thereunder upon such termination; and

9.5.2.6. the terms of the stock option award described in Section 5.5 hereof (including the terms of Best Buy’s 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan and Employee’s Stock Option Award Agreement thereunder) shall govern whether any portion of such award shall be exercisable upon such termination.

9.5.2.7. As a condition to the severance benefits described in this Section 9.5.2, Employee will enter into an agreement releasing all claims against Employer and its Affiliates, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, and all applicable rescission periods shall have expired without exercise. Employer’s obligations under this Section 9.5.2 immediately shall cease if Employee materially breaches any of the covenants in Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9.7 hereof.

9.5.3. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated prior to or upon expiration of the term of this Agreement provided in Section 3 hereof or any extension thereof, other than a termination described in Section 9.5.2 hereof, then in addition to any amounts that may be due pursuant to Section 9.5.1 hereof:

9

9.5.3.1. the terms of the short-term incentive plan described in Section 5.2 hereof shall govern whether any incentive shall be payable in the year of termination;

9.5.3.2. the terms of the Employer restricted stock awards described in Section 5.3 hereof (including the terms of the 2001 Plan and Employee’s restricted stock award agreement(s) thereunder) shall govern whether any amounts shall be payable thereunder upon such termination;

9.5.3.3. the terms of the Long-Term Incentive Award described in Section 5.4 hereof (including the Award Agreement) shall govern whether any amounts shall be payable thereunder upon such termination;

9.5.3.4. the terms of the stock option award described in Section 5.5 hereof (including the terms of Best Buy’s 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan and Employee’s Stock Option Award Agreement thereunder) shall govern whether any portion of such award shall be exercisable upon such termination; and

9.5.3.5. thereafter, no salary, incentive, or any other benefits or amounts shall be payable or extended by Employer to Employee, except as required by Federal or State law or to the extent the Employee’s rights to such benefits or amounts were earned on the date of termination.

9.5.4. All amounts payable to Employee pursuant to Section 9.5.1, Section 9.5.2 and Section 9.5.3 shall be paid without regard to whether Employee has taken or takes actions to mitigate damages.

9.6. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Employee’s benefits under this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee shall be either delivered in full (without Employer paying any portion of the Excise Tax due upon such payment), or delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless Employer and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 9.6 shall be made in writing by Employer’s or an Affiliate’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and Employer for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 9.6, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. Employer and Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 9.6. Employer shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 9.6.

10

9.7. Surrender of Records and Property. Upon termination of his employment for any reason, Employee shall deliver promptly to Employer all records, manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, manuscripts, letter head, business cards, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, data, tables, calculations, computers/PDAs, security/ID cards, keys, computer files, cell phones, pagers, parking permits, company credit cards, financial statements or records, budgets or business plans or copies thereof, that are the property of Employer or any of its Affiliates and all other property, trade secrets and confidential information of Employer or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, all documents which in whole or in part contain any trade secrets or confidential information of Employer or any of its Affiliates, which in any of these cases are in his possession or under his control, provided, however, that Employee may retain his personal rolodex, address books, information relating to Employee’s compensation or benefits or relating to reimbursement of expenses and any agreement relating to the terms of Employee’s employment with Employer.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1. Governing Law. Recognizing that Employer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Best Buy, this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to its or any other jurisdiction’s conflict of laws provisions, except to the extent any of the provisions of California Labor Code are applicable. The parties hereby expressly consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of either the federal or state district courts located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

10.2. Entire Agreement. Once the Effective Date occurs, this Agreement, in conjunction with any exhibits, schedules, addenda, amendments, or other attachments hereto, contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, oral understandings, representations, warranties, and courses of conduct and dealing with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall control any conflicting similar provision in any other agreement, plan or program to which Employee may previously have been a party or participant in connection with his employment; provided that all of Employee’s existing rights to indemnification with respect to any action or omission to act occurring or allegedly occurring prior to the Effective Date shall remain unaffected and undiminished as a result of the execution of this Agreement. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Existing Agreement, which shall be of no further force and effect, and Employer shall have no liability or obligations thereunder. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Effective Date therefore does not occur, this Agreement will be void and will create no rights and impose no liabilities or obligations on Employer or Employee.

10.3. Withholding Taxes. Employer may withhold from any benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

10.4. Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of Employee’s employment until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after Employee’s separation from service (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Employee’s death. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Employee following a termination of employment that are not so paid by reason of this Section 10.4 shall be paid as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days, after the date that is six (6) months after Employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of Employee’s death). The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to Section 5.6 or Section 9.5.2.2 are taxable to Employee, any reimbursement payment due to Employee pursuant to such provisions shall be paid to Employee on or before the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. The reimbursements pursuant to Section 5.6 or Section 9.5.2.2 are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such reimbursements that Employee receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements that Employee receives in any other taxable year.

11

10.5. Amendments. This Agreement, or any provisions hereof, may not be amended, supplemented, waived, or modified in any way, except by a written instrument signed by individuals authorized by the parties hereto.

10.6. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned, delegated, or subcontracted in whole or in part by either party without first obtaining the other party’s express written consent; provided, however, that Employer may assign, delegate, or subcontract this Agreement in whole or in part to a present or future Affiliate without obtaining Employee’s express written consent, provided that such present or future Affiliate expressly assumes the obligations of Employer under this Agreement, and providedfurther, that in the event of a sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of Employer with or to any other individual(s) or entity that is not an Affiliate, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of Employer hereunder. Any assignment, delegation, or subcontract not complying with the terms of this Section 10.6 shall be null and void. In the event of a proper assignment, delegation, or subcontract, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, legal representatives, delegatees, and subcontractees.

10.7. Waiver. Failure by either party to this Agreement to enforce or insist upon compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of its right to enforce or insist upon compliance with such provision, or other provisions in the future. A waiver by either party of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either party. Neither party shall be deemed to have waived any of its rights, powers, or remedies pursuant to this Agreement unless such waiver is contained in a written instrument signed by Employee or an authorized officer of Employer, as applicable.

10.8. Injunctive Relief. Employee agrees that it would be difficult to compensate Employer fully for damages for any violation of the provisions of Sections 6, 7, and 8 of this Agreement. Accordingly, Employee specifically agrees that Employer may be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce such provisions of this Agreement. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right of Employer to claim and recover damages in addition to injunctive relief.

12

10.9. Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted herefrom and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may validly and enforceably be covered. Employee acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement be given the construction which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

10.10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, approvals, consents, and other communications which are required or may be given hereunder shall be (i) in writing; (ii) addressed to the parties as set forth below, unless a party notifies the others of a change of address (in which case the latest noticed address shall be used); and (iii) deemed to have been duly given: (a) upon delivery thereof, if hand-delivered, (b) three (3) business days after being sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, (c) one (1) business day after delivery to a recognized overnight courier for next-business-day delivery, or (d) upon receipt thereof if transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means, provided receipt thereof is verified by the sender.

10.12. Intellectual Property. Employee acknowledges that he is not acquiring any right, title, or interest in Employer’s trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, patents, ideas, concepts, designs, specifications, models, processes, software systems, technologies, and other intellectual property owned or developed by Employer, its Affiliates, and Employer’s and its Affiliates employees, contractors, or consultants.

13

10.13. Public Announcements. Except for Employee’s role (if any) in helping Employer prepare and make any filings with the SEC reasonably required with respect to this Agreement, Employee shall not make any public announcement (including, but not limited to any statement, comment, press release, or web site posting) regarding this Agreement or the parties’ relationship unless Employee obtains Employer’s prior express written consent.

10.14. Indemnification. Employer and Best Buy each hereby agree to indemnify Employee and hold Employee harmless to the maximum extent provided under the by-laws or other organizational documents of Employer immediately prior to the Closing, or Best Buy, as applicable, or, if applicable state law provides the opportunity to afford greater protections to Employee, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable state law, against and in respect of any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses and damages resulting from Employee’s good faith performance of Employee’s duties and obligations with Employer, Best Buy or their respective Affiliates. This obligation shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, Best Buy or their respective Affiliates.

10.15. Limitation on Causes of Action. Neither party hereto may raise a claim of any nature relative to this Agreement (other than a claim brought in response to or pendent to a claim brought by the other party hereto) after the earlier of (i) the end of any period provided by the applicable statue of limitations or (ii) the date two (2) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or any extension thereof.

10.16. Remedies. No remedy made available to Employer by any of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy available to Employer at law or in equity.

10.17. Interpretation. This Agreement and each and every term and condition herein has been cooperatively and mutually drafted and shall not be construed or interpreted more strictly against either party. In the event of a conflict between any term in the body of this Agreement and any exhibit, schedule, or attachment, the terms of the body of this Agreement shall prevail. The words “herein,” “hereof,” hereunder,” “hereto,” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the schedules, exhibits, and attachments hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended or supplemented, and not to any particular section, subsection, or clause contained in this Agreement. Whenever necessary or proper herein, the singular imports the plural or vice versa, and masculine, feminine, and neuter expressions are interchangeable. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the word “including” shall always be interpreted as though immediately followed by the phrase “but not limited to.” Unless otherwise explicitly stated: (i) a reference in an exhibit, schedule, or attachment to a Section refers to the appropriate numbered Section within such exhibit, schedule, or attachment, (ii) all other references to a Section refer to the appropriate numbered Section in the body of this Agreement, and (iii) all references to a Section include the subsections of the referenced Section.

10.18. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and obligations created under it shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the parties do not intend to confer upon any other person any right, remedy, or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement.

To the extent such vesting occurs prior to the Effective Date, such payment will not be made (to avoid duplication of payment), because (i) a portion of such shares will have been withheld to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations and (ii) Employee will otherwise have received or become entitled to receive payment of the Offer Consideration or Merger Consideration with respect to any of such shares that are tendered by Employee pursuant to the Offer or cancelled in the Merger, as the case may be.

Schedule 5.4

Long-Term Incentive Award

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Long-Term Incentive Award. The Long-Term Incentive Award will be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement (substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B). This Schedule 5.4 is qualified in its entirety by such Award Agreement.

Long-Term Incentive Award

You will be eligible to receive a one-time Long-Term Incentive Award (“Incentive Award”) pursuant the Award Agreement, based on the Award Target Value described below. Any Incentive Award that is earned will be payable in the form of cash.

Plan Participant	Award Target Value			Maximum  Incentive Award*
	$	[_______	]	$	[________	]

* You may earn from 0%-200% of the Award Target Value depending on satisfaction of performance goals.

You may earn 0% - 200% of the Award Target Value (described above) based on achievement of specific performance goals, based on Napster results, during the period March 1, 2009 through March 3, 2012. The performance goals will be mutually determined by C. Gorog and D. Morrish, and approved by the Best Buy Controllership Team. At the end of the performance period, whether and the extent to which the performance goals have been achieved will be determined based on audited financial statements prepared by Employer, in accordance with GAAP, and approved by the Controllership Team. The performance goals and results may be adjusted, in limited circumstances, at the discretion of the Controllership Team. The following is a sample performance table that would be applied with respect to the agreed upon performance metric(s) to determine the amount of the Incentive Award that is earned:

Performance Metric Actual as % of Plan	% of Award Target Value Earned
200.0% or greater	200%

Best Buy to Acquire Napster

MINNEAPOLIS AND LOS ANGELES (Sept. 15, 2008) – Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY) and Napster, Inc. (NASDAQ:NAPS) announced today that the two companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement for Best Buy to commence a tender offer for all outstanding Napster shares at a price of $2.65 per share in cash. The transaction, with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $121 million (or $54 million net of approximately $67 million in cash and short-term investments of Napster as of June 30, 2008), is subject to customary closing conditions, including the tender of a number of Napster shares that constitutes a majority of Napster’s outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully-diluted basis). The transaction is expected to close during the fourth calendar quarter. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of Napster, and Napster’s directors and certain officers have agreed, in their capacities as stockholders, to tender their Napster shares and otherwise support the transaction.

The proposed acquisition includes Napster’s approximately 700,000 digital entertainment subscribers, its Web-based customer service platform, and innovative mobile capabilities. In conjunction with the definitive merger agreement, Napster CEO Chris Gorog and key members of senior management of Napster have entered into employment agreements, effective at closing, pursuant to which they have agreed to continue as the Napster leadership post-acquisition.

Best Buy believes that Napster has one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-use music offerings in the industry, including streaming music, music subscriptions, the ability to purchase individual tracks, albums and mobile offers. Napster has approximately 140 employees, with its headquarters in Los Angeles. At this time, Best Buy does not plan to relocate Napster’s headquarters or to make significant changes in personnel.

“This transaction offers Best Buy a recognized platform for enhancing our capabilities in the digital media space and building new, recurring relationships with customers,” said Brian Dunn, President and COO of Best Buy. “Over time we hope to strengthen our offerings to consumers, who we believe will increasingly seek devices and solutions that enable them to access their content wherever, whenever and however they want.”

Best Buy intends to use Napster’s capabilities and digital subscriber base to reach new customers with an enhanced experience for exploring and selecting music and other digital entertainment products over an increasing array of devices. Best Buy believes the combined capabilities of the two companies will allow it to build stronger relationships with customers, expand the number of subscribers, and capture recurring revenue by offering ongoing value over a mobile digital platform.

“We believe Napster brings us excellent capabilities in the mobility space, as well as international operations and an established team of technology experts,” said Dave Morrish, Executive Vice President – Connected Digital Solutions of Best Buy. “We can foresee Napster acting as a platform for accelerating our growth in the emerging industry of digital entertainment, beyond music subscriptions. We’re very excited to add these capabilities to leverage our existing relationships with the labels, the studios, and the hardware providers. We believe Napster will be an outstanding addition to our already robust portfolio of partners and offerings in the digital music space.”

“We believe Best Buy will be an ideal partner for Napster and are very excited by the benefits that this transaction delivers to our shareholders, partners and employees. Best Buy is uniquely positioned to benefit from Napster’s digital entertainment distribution platform. We are looking forward to combining our digital media capabilities with Best Buy’s resources and global network to extend our digital content platforms,” said Chris Gorog, chairman and CEO of Napster.

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Best Buy will commence a cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Napster common stock for $2.65 per share in cash, with a supporting recommendation from the Napster Board of Directors. The closing of the tender offer is subject to customary terms and conditions, including the tender of a number of shares that constitutes a majority of Napster's outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act. The agreement also provides for the parties to effect, subject to customary conditions, a merger to be completed following the completion of the tender offer which would result in all shares not tendered in the tender offer (other than shares held by Best Buy, treasury shares, and shares held by Napster shareholders, if any, who properly exercise appraisal rights) being converted into the right to receive $2.65 per share in cash. The directors and certain officers of Napster have entered into agreements with Best Buy pursuant to which they have agreed to tender their shares in connection with the tender offer contemplated by the merger agreement and otherwise support the transaction.

Napster, which recently launched one of the world’s largest MP3 stores, had fiscal 2008 revenue of $127.5 million, an increase of 15 percent over the prior fiscal year; a loss of $16.5 million, an improvement compared with a loss of $36.8 million the prior fiscal year; and positive cash flow for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Best Buy intends to complete the acquisition using available cash. UBS Investment Bank served as the exclusive financial advisor to Napster, and Napster is represented by O’Melveny & Myers LLP. Best Buy is represented by Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P.
