<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. In accordance with Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), the
Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision to
limit the personal liability of its directors for violations of their fiduciary
duties. This provision eliminates each director&#146;s liability to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a
director, except for liability: (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of
loyalty to Loudeye Corp. or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL providing for liability of directors
for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption, or
(iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability
of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their
fiduciary duty of care, including such actions involving gross negligence.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation also provides that
it may indemnify and advance expenses to, any other individuals, as permitted
under the DGCL, by a variety of means, including pursuant to provisions of its
restated bylaws and entering into agreements with such individuals. Section
145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including
officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any
threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an
officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
such corporation, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,
provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best
interests and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers
and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same
conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial
approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the
corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director actually or
reasonably incurred. The Registrant&#146;s

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification to
fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL of all persons who the
Registrant has the power to indemnify under such section.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the Registrant&#146;s restated bylaws, it must indemnify its
directors and officers, and it may indemnify its employees and agents, to the
maximum extent permitted under the DGCL against expenses, (including attorneys&#146;
fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that
such person is or was an agent of the Registrant. The Registrant&#146;s restated
bylaws also provide that it must advance expenses to indemnified individuals if
they undertake to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that they
were not entitled to indemnification.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of
its directors and officers. Generally, these agreements attempt to provide the
maximum protection permitted by law with respect to indemnification. The
indemnification agreements provide that the Registrant will pay certain amounts
incurred by a director in connection with any civil or criminal action or
proceeding, specifically including actions by the Registrant or in its name
(derivative suits), where the individual&#146;s involvement is by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director or officer. Such amounts include, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, attorney&#146;s fees, judgments, civil or criminal fines,
settlement amounts and other expenses customarily incurred in connection with
legal proceedings. Under the indemnification agreements, a director or officer
will not receive indemnification if he or she is found not to have acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the Registrant&#146;s best interests. The individual will only be
indemnified in connection with any criminal proceeding if such individual had
no reasonable belief that his or her conduct was unlawful.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant maintains officers&#146; and directors&#146; liability
insurance which insures against liabilities that its officers and directors may
incur in such capacities.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in that Act and is therefore unenforceable.

deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration
statement.

into this Registration Statement;



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities

securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof; and (3)&nbsp;to remove from registration by means of a post-effective

Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;6 or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Loudeye Corp. 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended on June 4, 2004 (the
"Plan") authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 17,416,137 shares of
common stock of Loudeye Corp. (the "Registrant"), subject to automatic
annual increases as described below. Prior to being amended in June 2004,
a total of 11,216,137 shares of the Registrant's common stock were
authorized for issuance under the Plan. The shares registered hereunder
comprise an additional 6,200,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock
authorized and available under the Plan. In addition, this Registration
Statement also covers 10,000,000 additional shares of common stock that
may become issuable under the Plan pursuant to a
provision that provides that the number of shares authorized under the
Plan will automatically increase on the first day of
each of the four years beginning in 2006 and ending in 2009, in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) 2,500,000 shares, (ii) five percent of the
number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the
immediately preceding calendar year, or
Table of Contents
(iii) such lesser number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors.
The Registrant previously registered shares authorized under the Plan and
shares that became issuable under the Plan pursuant to automatic increases
that became effective on January 1st of each of 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and
pursuant to the automatic increase that is scheduled to take effect on January
1, 2005. Pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement also covers an
indeterminate number of additional shares of the Registrant's common stock
that may be issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and related
stock option agreements by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the
Registrant's receipt of consideration, which results in an increase in the
number of the outstanding shares of the Registrant's common stock.
(2)
Computed pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities
Act solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee. The
Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share is based upon a weighted
average exercise price per share of $1.20 of options under the Plan,
the shares issuable under which are registered hereby.
(3)
Computed pursuant to Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act solely
for purposes of calculating the registration fee. The Proposed
Maximum Offering Price Per Share is based upon the average of the high
($1.67)
and low ($1.31) trading prices per share
of the Registrant's common stock on November 24, 2004, as reported by the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. In accordance with Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), the
Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision to
limit the personal liability of its directors for violations of their fiduciary
duties. This provision eliminates each director's liability to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a
director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to Loudeye Corp. or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL providing for liability of directors
for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability
of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their
fiduciary duty of care, including such actions involving gross negligence.
The Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation also provides that
it may indemnify and advance expenses to, any other individuals, as permitted
under the DGCL, by a variety of means, including pursuant to provisions of its
restated bylaws and entering into agreements with such individuals. Section
145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including
officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any
threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an
officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
such corporation, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,
provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best
interests and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers
and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same
conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial
approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the
corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director actually or
reasonably incurred. The Registrant's
II-2
Table of Contents
restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification to
fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL of all persons who the
Registrant has the power to indemnify under such section.
Pursuant to the Registrant's restated bylaws, it must indemnify its
directors and officers, and it may indemnify its employees and agents, to the
maximum extent permitted under the DGCL against expenses, (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that
such person is or was an agent of the Registrant. The Registrant's restated
bylaws also provide that it must advance expenses to indemnified individuals if
they undertake to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that they
were not entitled to indemnification.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of
its directors and officers. Generally, these agreements attempt to provide the
maximum protection permitted by law with respect to indemnification. The
indemnification agreements provide that the Registrant will pay certain amounts
incurred by a director in connection with any civil or criminal action or
proceeding, specifically including actions by the Registrant or in its name
(derivative suits), where the individual's involvement is by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director or officer. Such amounts include, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, attorney's fees, judgments, civil or criminal fines,
settlement amounts and other expenses customarily incurred in connection with
legal proceedings. Under the indemnification agreements, a director or officer
will not receive indemnification if he or she is found not to have acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the Registrant's best interests. The individual will only be
indemnified in connection with any criminal proceeding if such individual had
no reasonable belief that his or her conduct was unlawful.
In addition, the Registrant maintains officers' and directors' liability
insurance which insures against liabilities that its officers and directors may
incur in such capacities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in that Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Power of Attorney (reference is made to page S-1 of this Registration Statement)
The consolidated financial statements of Loudeye Corp. as of December 31,
2001 and for the year then ended, incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
were audited by other independent accountants who have ceased
operations. The other independent accountants did not perform any
procedures with respect to this registration statement. The
Registrant has not obtained, and is not able to obtain, a written consent from
those other independent accountants. Accordingly, the Registrant has omitted
the written consent of those other independent accountants in reliance upon
Rule 473(a) under the Securities Act of 1933. You will not be able to recover
against those other independent accountants under Section 11 of the Securities
Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the Registrant's
financial statements audited by those independent accountants or for any
omission to state a material fact required to be stated in those financial
statements.
Item 9. Undertakings
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
II-3
Table of Contents
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act,
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference
into this Registration Statement;
(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
