pursuant to Section 5.6.
5.6 Purchase Procedures.
-------------------
(a) The purchase price for the Shares to be sold pursuant to this
Section shall be the "Fair Market Value" of such Shares.
(b) Fair Market Value per share under this Section 5 shall be
determined as follows:
(i) If the Shares are publicly traded on the Korea Stock Exchange
or KOSDAQ, the Korean OTC market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of
the closing prices of the Shares on such exchange or market, as the case may be,
over the 30-day period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing of
the purchase of the Shares.
(ii) If there is no active public market for the Shares, the value
shall be the fair market value thereof immediately following any act giving rise
to the right to sell or purchase shares under this Section 5, such fair market
value as determined by a good faith negotiation between the Selling Holder or
Holders ("Seller") and the purchasing Holder or Holders ("Purchaser"). If such
negotiation fails to determine the fair market value within forty-five (45) days
after the date of the notice of termination, the fair market value shall be
determined as follows:
-12-
(A) Seller (as a group if Seller is more than one Holder)
and Purchaser (as a group if Purchaser is more than one Holder) shall each
retain at its expense an investment bank expert in the industry. If Seller or
Purchaser does not select an investment bank within fifteen (15) days after the
end of the 45-day good faith negotiation period (the "Negotiation Period")
referred to in subsection (ii) above, such Holder or Holders shall not be
entitled to retain an investment bank and shall present whatever materials it
has available by the deadline regarding the valuation of LAK.
(B) Subject to execution of customary confidentiality
agreements by the investment banks, LAK shall provide or cause to be provided to
each investment bank all material information, including any material changes in
such information, reasonably necessary to value LAK or reasonably requested by
the investment banks.
(C) During the 15-day period after both Seller and Purchaser
have selected an investment bank, or the end of the Negotiation Period if Seller
and/or Purchaser does not select an investment bank, Seller, Purchaser and their
respective investment banks shall meet on at least two occasions to present
their respective views on valuation and shall negotiate in good faith to reach a
written agreement on the fair market value.
(D) If the fair market value has not been agreed to in
writing by the end of the Negotiation Period, Seller and Purchaser shall each
submit a final valuation proposal with a supporting analysis to the other Holder
or Holders and to the "Arbitrator" within ten (10) days after the end of the
Negotiation Period. The "Arbitrator" shall be a Person with expertise in valuing
high technology companies, shall not have a material business relationship with
any Party and shall be reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser,
provided however that in the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon the
Arbitrator within ten (10) days of the end of the Negotiation Period, then the
Arbitrator shall be determined within an additional ten (10) days by agreement
of the respective investment banks of the Parties, provided further that (x) if
no such investment bank has been selected by a Party, or if such Party's
investment bank does not recommend an Arbitrator, then the selection of the
other Party shall prevail, and (y) if the investment banks are unable to agree
on an Arbitrator, the valuation shall be determined in accordance with the
dispute resolution provisions of Section 8.2 hereof.
(E) If Seller or Purchaser does not submit in a timely
manner a final valuation proposal, then the valuation proposal of the other
Holder or Holders shall be used to establish the fair market value. If the final
proposals differ by less than 10%, then the average of the proposals shall be
the fair market value. If the final proposals differ by 10% or more, then the
Arbitrator shall choose one or the other proposal. The Arbitrator's
determination shall be final and binding on both Seller and Purchase; provided,
however, that the Arbitrator must select one of the final valuation proposals as
submitted.
(c) Each Holder purchasing Shares under this Section 5.6 shall pay in
cash or other immediately available funds the aggregate purchase price for the
Shares to be sold to such Holder upon receipt of the certificate or certificates
for the Shares to be sold to such Holder.
(d) When Holders have the right to purchase their pro rata share of
another Holder's Shares pursuant to this Section 5 and not all of those Holders
exercise their purchase right,
-13-
the Holders exercising their purchase right shall also have the right to
purchase the pro rata share of the Shares of the Holders not exercising their
purchase right (the "Remaining Shares"). If more than one Holder elects to
exercise its purchase right as to the Remaining Shares, each Holder who wishes
to purchase the Remaining Shares shall be entitled to purchase that portion of
the Remaining Shares as the total number of Shares then owned by such Holder
bears to the total number of Shares then owned by all Holders who wish to
purchase the Remaining Shares.
5.7 Continuation of Business. During any period in which a Holder has the
------------------------
right to purchase or is purchasing the Shares of any other Holder, or in which
Liquid Audio has the right to cause the other Holders to purchase its Shares,
pursuant to this Section 5, until the closing of the purchase of the Shares
thereunder:
(a) LAK shall continue its business in the ordinary course. All of the
Holders shall use their best efforts to maintain and preserve the business of
LAK pending the consummation of such purchase.
(b) The Holders shall negotiate in good faith an agreement providing
that employees of such selling Holder working full time for LAK shall be made
available full time to LAK for such period as is reasonably required for up to
six (6) months following the closing of such purchase of Shares to effect an
orderly transition to a new ownership by non-selling Holders, and each Holder
shall use its best efforts to make all such employees available on this basis.
6. PERMITTED TRANSFERS; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
-------------------------------------------
6.1 Restrictions. Each Holder agrees not to sell or transfer in any manner
------------
any of such Holder's Shares or any right or interest therein except as provided
below in this Section:
(a) No Holder may transfer or otherwise dispose of its Shares without
the prior approval of the Board, which shall not be withheld as long as the
requirements of this Section 6 have been satisfied.
(b) For a period of three (3) years after the effective date of the
incorporation of LAK, such Holder may transfer or otherwise dispose of its
Shares only if a Holder or Holders of a majority of Shares owned by all of other
Holders approve in advance in writing such transfer or disposition.
(c) After three (3) years from the effective date of the incorporation
of LAK,
(i) A Holder which wishes to transfer its Shares shall first give
written notice ("Notice") to all of the other Holders stating its bona fide
intention to transfer, the name of the proposed transferee, the number of
offered Shares and the price, terms and conditions of the proposed sale or
transfer.
(ii) Each other, non-offering Holder shall have the right to
purchase that portion of the Shares offered as the total number of Shares then
owned by such Holder bears to the total number of Shares then owned by all of
the non-offering Holders. Such right shall be
-14-
exercisable by written notice to the offering Holder not later than thirty (30)
days after delivery of the Notice. The price and terms for the non-offering
Holders shall be the price and terms stated in the Notice.
(iii) If all of the non-offering Holders do not exercise their
rights described in paragraph (ii) of Section 6.1(c), the offering Holder shall
so notify in writing ("Second Notice") each Holder which exercised its right
under paragraph (ii) of Section 6.1(c), and each such Holder shall have the
right to purchase all of the remaining Shares offered, which right shall be
exercisable by written notice to the offering Holder within ten (10) days after
delivery of the Second Notice. If more than one Holder elects to purchase such
remaining Shares, each Holder who wishes to purchase such remaining Shares shall
be entitled to purchase that portion of such remaining Shares as the total
number of Shares then owned by such Holder bears to the total number of Shares
then owned by all Holders who wish to purchase such remaining Shares.
(d) The Shares not purchased by the non-offering Holders pursuant to
Section 6.1(c) may, during ninety (90) days beginning on the expiration of the
last applicable right of the non-offering Holders, be transferred to the
transferee named in the Notice; provided that (i) such sale or transfer is not
at a lower price or on terms more favorable to the transferee than those
specified in the Notice; and (ii) prior to such transfer, such transferee agrees
in writing to become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon
transfer of such Shares.
(e) Notwithstanding any term or condition of this Section 6, each
Holder may transfer its Shares to an Affiliate of that Holder or in connection
with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Holder
provided that: (i) prior to such transfer, such Affiliate or transferee agrees
in writing to become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon
transfer of such Shares; (ii) the transferring Holder notifies all of the other
Holders not less than thirty (30) days prior to any such transfer; and (iii) any
such transfer shall not serve to excuse or terminate any of the obligations of
the transferring Holder under this Agreement.
(f) Each Holder which has the right to purchase the Shares under
Section 6.1(c) may designate and assign an Affiliate to exercise all or part of
such Holder's rights under Section 6.1(c).
(g) The restrictions and other provisions of this Section 6 shall
apply to any Shares acquired by a Holder during the term of this Agreement.
(h) Since damages arising from a breach of the obligations under this
Section 6.1 may be difficult to determine with precision, the Holders agree that
any Holder found to have breached the terms of Section 6.1 shall pay to the non-
breaching Holders as liquidated damages a sum equivalent to two times the gross
compensation received by the breaching Holder in the transaction whereby the
breach occurred, or two times the aggregate par value of the transferred shares,
whichever is higher. The Parties have understood that such liquidated damages
are fair and reasonable. Application of this liquidated damage provision shall
not prevent a Party from enforcing its rights or augmenting its protection by
such other remedies as may be available.
-15-
6.2 Legend. The instruments representing the Shares shall bear a legend
------
stating that such Shares are (i) subject to restrictions on transfer and other
provision of this Agreement and (ii) not transferable without the Board's
written approval. Each Holder agrees to cause LAK's Board not to consent to any
transfer or other disposition of any Shares made other than in accordance with
this Agreement.
7. NONCOMPETITION
--------------
(a) SKM agrees that as long as SKM is a shareholder of LAK, SKM will
not engage, either directly or indirectly, as a principal or for its own account
or solely or jointly with others, or as a stockholder in any corporation or
joint stock association (including rights to participate in present or future
profits pursuant to an option or other agreement), in any entity that sells,
resells, or distributes any software product or service that competes with the
sale of the Liquid Audio secure music distribution software carried by LAK, or
in any entity that controls, licenses, distributes or sells pre-recorded music.
(b) If any provision contained in this Section shall for any reason be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality of unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this
Section, but this Section shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of
the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is
held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not
permitted by applicable law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any
extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no
effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under
applicable law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret
or reform this Section to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable
geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those
contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable law.
(c) SKM acknowledges that Liquid Audio would be irreparably harmed by
any breach or threatened breach of this Section and that there would be no
adequate remedy at law or in damages to compensate Liquid Audio for any such
breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, SKM agrees that, in
the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at
law, Liquid Audio, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining
order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may
then be available, and SKM consents to the entry thereof.

and that the receiving Party's protection thereof is essential to this Agreement
and a condition of the receiving Party's use and possession thereof. Each Party
shall retain in strict confidence any and all such confidential information

disclosure is limited to the extent expressly required by such court,

employee or consultant who is given access to the Confidential Information of
the other Parties which incorporates the protections and restrictions
substantially as set forth herein.

its possession by virtue of this Agreement. The cost of taking such steps shall
be borne solely by the receiving Party.
(e) Each Party acknowledges that any breach of any of its obligations
under this Section 8.1 is likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to the
other Parties, and, accordingly, each Party agrees that in such event the
disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests,
including but not limited to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as
well as money damages.

breach of this Section, and without any abridgement of the powers of the
arbitrator.
(c) In case of arbitration, the arbitrator shall award reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses to any of the parties in such manner and to such
extent as the arbitrators deem equitable. In case of a court proceeding arising
out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its

authorized representative of the Party to be bound thereby.

-------------------
and failure at any time to require another Party's performance of any obligation

of such provision or a waiver or modification of such provision.
8.10 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
------------
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement should be prohibited or
invalid under applicable law, such provisions shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. In such event, the
Parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, a valid, legal and enforceable
substitute provision which most nearly effects the Parties' intent in entering
into this Agreement.
