conditions of this Loan and Security Agreement (including the satisfaction of
the conditions of borrowing set forth in Section 7 of this Loan and Security
Agreement including but not limited to providing Lender with a description of
the items of Equipment), Lender shall disburse to Borrower the balance of the

Such Request shall be accompanied by an original copy of the invoice or invoices
to be paid from the Interim Loan. Such Request shall constitute a representation
and warranty by the Borrower that (i) as of the date of the Request no Event of
Default or event which with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both
would constitute an Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing
and (ii) in the event items of Equipment have been delivered to Borrower,
Borrower has unconditionally accepted the Equipment from the vendor thereof.

Collateral shall not be terminated until and unless all of Borrower's
obligations to Lender under any of the Loan Documents are fully paid and
performed. The occurrence of an event of default under any other of the Loan
Documents shall be deemed to be an Event of Default hereunder and an Event of

No. 89.001 TERM PROMISSORY NOTE
3,346,590.16 November 18, 1997
FOR VALUED RECEIVED, the undersigned PointCast Incorporated, ("Maker"),
promises to pay to the order of MetLife Capital Corporation, ("Payee"), at its
office at X.X. Xxx X-00000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, the principal sum of
Three Million Three Hundred Forty-Six Thousand Five Hundred Ninety and 16/100
($3,346,590.16) Dollars together with interest on unpaid principal from the date
of disbursement of such principal amount until payment in full at a rate of Nine
and 70/100 percent (9.70%) per annum ("Rate") computed on the basis of a 360 day
year of twelve consecutive thirty day months. Interest hereunder shall be paid
on the unpaid principal, together with principal, in Thirty-Six (36)
installments of One Hundred Six Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Two and 20/100
($106,652.20) commencing on November 21, 1997 and monthly thereafter until
October 21, 2000, on which date the entire balance of principal and interest
unpaid shall be due and payable. It is agreed that each installment, when paid,
shall be applied by the holder hereof, first so much as shall be required to the
payment of interest accrued as specified hereto, and the balance thereof to the
repayment of the principal sum.
The Rate expressed above will be adjusted at Loan Closing in accordance
with the following formula: The interest rate shall be fixed at 399 basis
points (3.99%) over the then weekly average yield of Two (2) year U.S. Treasury
Constant Maturities as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.
15[519].
Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, this Note may not be
prepaid in whole or in part, except with the prior written consent of Payee.
Maker shall have the privilege of prepaying all (but not part) of the then
outstanding balance under this Note on September 21, 1999 or on any installment
due date thereafter, subject to giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Payee specifying the date of prepayment and further subject to payment of a
prepayment premium equal to the amount, if any, required to offset the adverse
impact to Payee of any decline in interest rates. The prepayment premium is
determined by (i) calculating the decrease, expressed in basis points (but not
less than zero) in the current weekly average yield for Two (2)-year U.S.
Treasury Constant Maturities as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release
-----------------------------------
15(519) (the
"Index") from the weekly average yield of 5.71% as of November 21, 1997 to the
Friday (or, if Friday is not a business day, the last business day) of the week
immediately preceding the prepayment date (ii) dividing the difference by 100,
(iii) multiplying the result by the applicable "Premium Factor" set forth below,
and (iv) multiplying the product by the principal to be prepaid. Any prepayment
shall be applied first to the prepayment premium, if any, next to accrued
interest and late charges (if any), and thereafter to the principal when
outstanding. The Premium Factor shall be the amount shown on the following
chart for the month in which prepayment occurs.
NUMBER OF MONTHS REMAINING (YEARS) PREMIUM FACTOR
18 - 13 (2) .010
12 - 1 (1) .005
In the event the Federal Reserve Board ceases to publish Statistical Release H
15(519), then the decrease in Two (2)-Year U.S. Treasury Constant Maturities
will be determined from another source designated by Payee.
If Maker shall have given to Payee notice of Makers intention to so prepay,
Maker Shall not then be entitled to withdraw such notice, and the indebtedness
proposed to be prepaid in such notice together with the aforesaid prepayment
fee, if applicable, shall be due and payable upon the date specified for such
prepayment in such notice. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
acceleration of payment of indebtedness evidenced hereby during a period open to
prepayment, Maker shall pay to Payee, in addition to any and all other sums due
and payable hereunder, as liquidated damages for the loss of Payee's investment
and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the prepayment fee which would have
been payable hereunder in such date of acceleration in the event of a
voluntary prepayment. Maker and Payee agree that the foregoing amounts do not
constitute penalties but rather constitute reasonable calculations of the
investment loss that would be sustained by Payee in the event of such
prepayment.
It is specifically understood and agreed by Maker that, in the event of a
default under this Note or under any instrument securing the Note, a tender of
payment of the unpaid principal and accrued interest then outstanding shall be
deemed a prepayment, and, accordingly, said tender must include the premium
herein above required, or if said tender is made prior to the time this
privilege is operative, then said tender must include a premium equal to six (6)
months' interest at the Rate computed on the principal amount so tendered. It
is further understood and agreed by Maker that Payee shall not be obligated to
accept said tender, and said tender shall for all purposes be deemed ineffectual
and deficient, unless said tender shall include the premium herein above
required.
In the event that Payee does not receive any payment on the date due, Maker
will pay Payee a late charge of five percent (5%) of the payment outstanding
together with the payment and, provided said sum is received within ten (10)
days of the date due, Payee agrees not to demand immediate payment of the whole
sum of principal and interest as otherwise permitted herein.
If, from any circumstances whatsoever, payment of any obligation due under
this Note at the time such performance shall be due shall involve exceeding the
maximum amount currently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other
applicable law, then such obligation shall be reduced to such maximum amount, so
that in no event shall any payment be possible under this Note, or under any
other instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby, that
is in excess of such maximum amount.
In the event that an Event of Default shall occur under the Loan and
Security Agreement (as hereinafter defined) or any other instrument now or
hereafter securing repayment hereof, following any required notice and/or the
expiration of any applicable period of grace, then, and in such event, the
principal indebtedness evidenced hereby, and any other sums advanced hereunder,
together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of
Payee, at once become due and payable and may be collected forthwith, regardless
of the stipulated date of maturity. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO THIS
NOTE. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal for so long as such
default continues, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration
of the indebtedness evidenced hereby as set forth herein, at the rate equal to
the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum rate allowable
under law. All such interest shall be paid at the time of and as a condition
precedent to the curing of any such default should Payee, at its sole option,
allow such default to be cured. In the event this Note, or any part thereof, is
collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Maker agrees to pay all costs of
collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or
not suit is filed.
This Note is one of the notes referred to in and is Secured by the Loan and
Security Agreement dated November 18, 1997 between Maker and Payee. The terms of
the Loan and Security Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.
Maker waives any right of exemption and waives presentment, protest and
demand and notice of protest, demand and of dishonor and nonpayment of this
Note, and consents that any holder hereof shall have the right, without notice,
to grant any extension or extensions of time for payment of this Note or any
part thereof or any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, or may release
any of the security for this Note without in any way affecting the liability of
any other party for the payment of this Note.
The due payment and performance of Maker's obligations hereunder shall be
without regard to any counterclaim, right of offset or any other counterclaim
whatsoever which Maker may have against Payee and without regard to any other
obligations of any nature whatsoever which Payee may have to Maker, and no such
counterclaim or offset shall be asserted by Maker in any action, suit or
proceeding instituted by Payee for payment of Maker's obligations hereunder.
This Note and the Loan and Security Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
Maker acknowledges that there is no presumption that the value of the
property securing this Note is equal to the face amount of the Note, and that a
deficiency judgment may be necessary In proceedings taken for enforcement
hereof.
No amendment to this Note shall be binding upon Payee unless it is in
writing and duly signed by Payee.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Maker has caused these presents to be duly signed
the date first above written.
