        Negotiation Period") during which it will have exclusive rights to make
        -----------
        a proposal, bid and/or negotiate with respect to such Opportunity.
        During the term of this Agreement, Valley shall not present such
        Opportunity to a person or entity other than Loudeye until the earliest
        to occur of (i) Loudeye's notifying Valley in writing that it does not
