Employment Agreements and Consulting Agreements

     Mr. Bernardi and Mr. Puthukarai each have employment agreements with
initial terms through December 7, 2002. These agreements require that each
commit substantially all of his time and effort to

                                       8
<PAGE>

furthering musicmaker.com's interests and restrict competition with
musicmaker.com during the term of the agreement and for one year following
termination. Under their employment agreements, Mr. Bernardi receives a base
salary of $175,000 per annum and Mr. Puthukarai receives a base salary of
$250,000 per annum. Each is eligible for payment of bonuses and stock options as
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr.
Puthukarai is guaranteed a minimum annual bonus of $100,000. Upon termination by
musicmaker.com without cause, or termination by Mr. Bernardi or Mr. Puthukarai
upon non-compliance by musicmaker.com with a material provision of the
employment agreement, their respective employment agreements provide for payment
of all accrued salary, benefits and bonus plus a sum equal to the salary,
benefits and bonus that would have been received if the initial or any renewal
term had been completed, discounted by three percent. Each agreement is
automatically renewable on a year-to-year basis following expiration of the
initial term, and any renewal term unless written notice of non-renewal is given
by either party 90 days before expiration of any term. Should musicmaker.com
decide not to renew their respective agreements, Mr. Bernardi and Mr. Puthukarai
shall be entitled to a severance payment equal to one year's salary and
benefits, as in effect prior to termination. Each agreement restricts the
ability of Mr. Bernardi and Mr. Puthukarai to solicit customers or call upon
employees of musicmaker.com for one year after the terms of each of their
agreements. The agreements further restrict ownership in excess of 5% of any
U.S. publicly traded company which is engaged in musicmaker.com's business.

     Under a consulting agreement between musicmaker.com and IHS Corporation,
Mr. Steinberg is required to provide consulting services to musicmaker.com for
not less than fifteen days in any given month. Mr. Steinberg seeks to obtain, on
musicmaker.com's behalf, additional license agreements and content relationships
with record labels in an effort to expand musicmaker.com's music library. The
Steinberg Consulting Agreement is non-exclusive; however, Mr. Steinberg is
restricted from providing consulting services to any of musicmaker.com's
competitors. For his services, Mr. Steinberg is paid a minimum monthly payment
of $9,000. Mr. Steinberg also receives compensation of $1,200 per meeting in
connection with his attendance at meetings of musicmaker.com's Board of
Directors or any committee thereof.

Key Man Insurance

     Musicmaker.com has key man insurance covering Messrs. Bernardi and
Puthukarai in the amount of $1 million each and naming musicmaker.com as
beneficiary.

Stock Option Plan

  Musicmaker.com has adopted a stock option plan for the purpose of promoting
our long-term growth and profitability by:

 .  Providing key people with incentives to improve stockholder value and
   contribute to the growth and financial success of musicmaker.com.
 .  Enabling musicmaker.com to attract, retain and reward talented and skilled
   persons for positions of substantial responsibility.

Musicmaker.com has used stock options as a significant component of compensation
for our officers and key employees.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     The stock option plan provides for the award to eligible participants,
including employees, officers, directors and consultants, of stock options
including non-qualified options and incentive stock options under Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code. The stock option plan also provides for the award of
stock appreciation rights, including free standing, tandem and limited stock
appreciation rights. Under the stock option plan 4,200,000 shares of common
stock are reserved for issuance, representing approximately 13% of the shares of
common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, options to
purchase a total of 3,594,682 shares of common stock were outstanding, at
exercise prices ranging from $0.17 to $13.00 per share. 138,688 options have
been exercised and no stock appreciation rights have been granted to date.

     The stock option plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, which will include at least two "disinterested persons," for
purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and "outside directors," within
the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Compensation
Committee selects the participants and establishes the terms and conditions of
each option or other rights granted under the stock option plan, including the
exercise price, the number of shares subject to options or other equity rights
and the time at which the options become exercisable. The exercise price of all
"incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code, granted under the stock option plan must be at least equal to 100%
of the fair market value of the option shares on the date of grant. The term of
any incentive stock option granted under the stock option plan may not exceed
ten years. Where the eligible stock option plan participant owns over 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of musicmaker.com, however,
the exercise price must be at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of
the option shares on the date of grant and the term cannot exceed five years.

     To the extent required to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, if
applicable, and in any event in the case of an incentive stock option or stock
appreciation right granted with respect to an incentive stock option, no award
granted under the stock option plan shall be transferable by a grantee otherwise
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Other terms and
conditions of each award are set forth in the grant agreement governing that
award and determined by the Compensation Committee.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Musicmaker.com's Charter and Bylaws provide that it shall indemnify all of
its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Under these provisions, any director or officer who, in his or
her capacity as such, is made or threatened to be made a party to any suit or

or not opposed to, the best interests of musicmaker.com. The Charter, Bylaws,
and Delaware law further provide that indemnification is not exclusive of any
other rights to which directors and officers may be entitled under our Charter,
Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.

venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any expense, liability, or loss

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

     On June 8, 1999, we executed a license agreement with EMI. Under this
agreement, we will make royalty payments in connection with sales of our Custom
CDs including any music content provided under license by EMI. In exchange for
our rights under the license agreement, we issued 15,170,860 shares of our
common stock to Virgin Holdings. Virgin Holdings received approximately
$40,000,000 from the sale of 3,072,197 shares of its stock by participating as a
selling shareholder in our initial public offering. Jay A. Samit and Jonathan
A.B. Smith, directors serving on the musicmaker.com Board of Directors, also
serve as executive officers of EMI Recorded Music.

     On July 1, 1999, musicmaker.com issued a demand promissory note to Rho
Management Trust I for financing in the principal amount of $1,000,000 in the
form of a subordinated note bearing interest at 12% and maturing on January 1,
2000. We repaid the principal and interest on the above loan immediately
following our initial public offering and out of the proceeds therefrom.

     We believe that the above-described transactions are as fair to
musicmaker.com as could have been obtained with unaffiliated parties. We intend
that all future transactions with officers, directors or principal stockholders
of musicmaker.com will be approved or ratified by a majority of the Board of
Directors, including a majority of the disinterested, independent directors.
Moreover, we intend that future transactions with affiliates will be on terms no
less favorable to musicmaker.com than could be obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.
