Re: Portland Brewing Company ("Company")

Dear Tony:

Portland Brewing Co. had a term loan payable to the MacTarnahan Limited
Partnership of $2.5 million with a maturity date of April 1, 2001. In February
2001, the Company refinanced the $2.5 million term loan with Western Bank,
secured by the Company's assets and guaranteed by Harmer Mill & Logging Supply
Co., MacTarnahan Limited Partnership, MacTarnahan Family Trust and by me
("Guarantors"). The maturity date of the replacement term loan is August 2,
2001, with an extension of 90-days. The Company expects to place the debt
permanently with a financial institution by September 30, 2001 or pay off the
debt through the raising of additional capital. We are aware there is no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain permanent financing from a
financial institution or that the Company will be able to raise additional
capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

To the extent that the Company is unable to refinance the $2.5 million term loan
with Western Bank by its maturity date, either (a) the Guarantors will support
and guaranty a replacement term loan with Western Bank, which loan will extend
for at least a 12 month period; or (b) MacTarnahan Limited Partnership ("MLP")
will repay or purchase the Western Bank term loan and refinance the loan for at
least a 12 month period with a 5 year amortization at market rates secured by
the assets of the Company and subject to customary financial covenants.

To the extent that the Company incurs working capital deficiencies in 2001, MLP
will provide funding to the Company in the form of debt or equity in an amount
not to exceed $500,000 to remedy cash deficiencies that may be necessary to fund
operations through December 31, 2001.

This agreement is binding and non-cancelable.

Very Truly Yours,

/S/ ROBERT M. MACTARNAHAN
Robert M. MacTarnahan
On Behalf of MacTarnahan Limited Partnership,
Harmer Mill & Logging Co., Robert M. MacTarnahan

Dear Mark:

March 15, 2001

On behalf of Egghead.com I am pleased to offer you the
position of Chief Financial Officer and Sr. Vice President, reporting to me in
my role as President & CEO. You will start working with us during the latter
part of March on some date mutually agreed upon between the two of us.

Your annual base salary will be $250,000 paid in 26
increments over the course of the year. After we reach profitability, you will
participate in Egghead's Sr. Management Bonus Program, which can add substantial
income in the form of variable cash compensation. 

In the event that you are involuntarily terminated, except
for a Termination for Cause as defined below, you will be paid 6 months of base
salary in a lump sum within 30 days of your termination date. Further, if you
voluntarily terminate within six months following the close of a Change of
Control transaction as defined below, because your duties, responsibilities, or
compensation is materially diminished, or the location of your office is changed
by more than 50 miles, you will be paid 6 months base salary in a lump sum
within 30 days of your termination date.

You will receive an option to purchase 500,000 shares of
Egghead common stock, subject to board approval. 375,000 shares of this stock
will vest monthly over a four-year period after a six-month "cliff". Your stock
option price for this option will be based upon the closing price of Egghead.com
stock the workday prior to the commencement of your employment with us. The
remaining 125,000 shares of stock will be in the form of a Time Accelerated Sock
Option Program (TASOP). This is a new program for Egghead and will be introduced
early in the second quarter of 2001.

Your strike price for this second option will be based upon
the closing price of Egghead.com stock the day before the program is announced.
This option either vests ratably over a 36 month period after a six-month cliff,
or as Egghead reaches profitability, whichever occurs first. On the day we
publicly announce that the company made a profit during the previous quarter,
50% of the shares vest. On the day we publicly announce that Egghead earned 2%
in net income during the previous quarter, an additional 25% of the shares vest.
Finally, on the day we publicly announce that the company earned 3% in net
income during the previous quarter the remaining 25% of the shares vest. Net
income excludes special charges that are related to acquisitions,
amortization/write-off of goodwill and acquired R&D, special compensation
charges, etc.

Egghead provides employees a wide array of benefits including
a 401(K) plan through Fidelity Investments and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Most of these benefits, including health care benefits will begin on the first
day of your employment. A brochure describing all our benefits plans is
enclosed.

You will be required to sign a standard Employee Inventions
and Assignment Agreement and an Acknowledgement and Receipt of Egghead.com's
Employee Handbook. Your employment will at all times be "at will", which means
that you or Egghead can terminate your employment at any time with or without
cause. There will be no express or implied agreements to the contrary.

Please sign and return a copy of this letter to indicate your
acceptance of our offer. This offer is contingent on the completion of a
background check. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or any
other member of the executive staff. This offer expires if not signed and
returned by Friday, March 16, 2001. You may fax it to me on (650) 473 6990.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jeff Sheahan
