paid and nonassessable Series C Preferred Stock (as adjusted pursuant to Section
4 hereof, the "Shares") of WEBTV NETWORKS, INC., a California corporation (the
"Company"), at the price of $7.113 per share (such price and such other price as
shall result, from time to time, from the adjustments specified in Section 4
hereof is herein referred to as the "Warrant Price"), subject to the provisions
and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, (a)
the term "Series Preferred" shall mean the Company's presently authorized Series
C Preferred Stock, and any stock into or for which such Series C Preferred Stock
may hereafter be converted or exchanged, (b) the term "Date of Grant" shall mean
February 7, 1997, and (c) the term "Other Warrants" shall mean any other
warrants issued by the Company in connection with the transaction with respect
to which this Warrant was issued, and any warrant issued upon transfer or

deemed to include Other Warrants unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
1. Term. The purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable,
----
in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from the Date of Grant
through the later of (i) ten (10) years after the Date of Grant or (ii) five (5)
years after the closing of the Company's initial public offering of its Common
Stock effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or its
successor) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to
----------------------------------------------------
Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, at
the election of the holder hereof, by (a) the surrender of this Warrant (with
the notice of exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
duly completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the
payment to the Company, by certified or bank check, or by wire transfer to an
account designated by the Company (a "Wire Transfer") of an amount equal to the
then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Shares then being
purchased, or (b) if in connection with a registered public offering of the
Company's securities, the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise
form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 duly completed and executed) at the
principal office of the Company together with notice of arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the Company for payment to the Company either by certified or
bank check or by Wire Transfer from the proceeds of the sale of shares to be
sold by the holder in such public offering of an amount equal to the then
applicable Warrant Price
-1-
per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased or (c)
exercise of the right provided for in Section 10.3 hereof. The person or persons
in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing shares of Series Preferred
shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become
the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to
have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or
dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so
purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any
event within thirty (30) days after such exercise and, unless this Warrant has
been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the
Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in
any event within such thirty-day period.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares that may be issued
---------------------------------------
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance
pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and nonassessable,
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the
purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this
Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Series Preferred to provide for
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and a sufficient number
of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Series
Preferred into Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind
------------------------------------------------
of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events, as follows:
(a) Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification or
--------------------------
change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case
of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a
merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in
case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall
duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form
and substance satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant), so that the holder
of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not
to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this
Warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Series Preferred theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or
merger by a holder of the number of shares of Series Preferred then purchasable
under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall
be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Section 4 and, in the case of a new Warrant issuable after conversion of
the authorized shares of the Series Preferred into shares of Common Stock or
after the amendment of the terms of the antidilution protection of the Series
Preferred, shall provide for antidilution protection that shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the antidilution provisions applicable to
the Series Preferred on the Date of Grant. The provisions of this subparagraph
(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and
transfers.
-2-
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time
------------------------------------
while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine
its outstanding shares of Series Preferred, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case
of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision
or combination becomes effective.
(c) Stock Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company at any
---------------------------------------
time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a dividend
with respect to Series Preferred payable in Series Preferred, or (ii) make any
other distribution with respect to Series Preferred (except any distribution
specifically provided for in Sections 4(a) and 4(b)), of Series Preferred, then
the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price
determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Series Preferred outstanding immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Series Preferred outstanding immediately after such dividend
or distribution.
(d) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the
------------------------------
Warrant Price, the number of Shares of Series Preferred purchasable hereunder
shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by
multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of
which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.
(e) Antidilution Rights. The other antidilution rights applicable to
-------------------
the Shares of Series Preferred purchasable hereunder are set forth in the
Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended through the Date of Grant, a
true and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Charter").
Such antidilution rights shall not be restated, amended, modified or waived in
any manner that is adverse to the holder hereof without such holder's prior
written consent. The Company shall promptly provide the holder hereof with any
restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter promptly after the
same has been made.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of
---------------------
Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the
Company shall make a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting
forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of
the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the
Warrant Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect
to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed
(without regard to Section 13 hereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid) to
the holder of this Warrant. In addition, whenever the conversion price or
conversion ratio of the Series Preferred shall be adjusted, the Company shall
make a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the
conversion price or ratio of the Series Preferred after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (without
regard to Section 13 hereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the holder
of this Warrant.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Series Preferred will be
-----------------
issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional
shares the Company shall make a cash payment
-3-
therefor based on the fair market value of the Series Preferred on the date of
exercise as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors.
7. Compliance with Act; Disposition of Warrant or Shares of Series
----------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred.
---------
(a) Compliance with Act. The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance
-------------------
hereof, agrees that this Warrant, and the shares of Series Preferred to be
issued upon exercise hereof and any Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof
are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any shares of Series Preferred to be
issued upon exercise hereof or any Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof
except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or
any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the
Shares being acquired are registered under the Act and any applicable state
securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the holder
hereof shall confirm in writing that the shares of Series Preferred so purchased
(and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) are being
acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in
violation of the Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may
be reasonably requested by the Company. This Warrant and all shares of Series
Preferred issued upon exercise of this Warrant and all shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion thereof (unless registered under the Act and any
applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION
MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO,
(ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION
LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, OR (iv) OTHERWISE
COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE
SECURITIES WERE ISSUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY."
Said legend shall be removed by the Company, upon the request of a holder,
at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security
shall have terminated. In addition, in connection with the issuance of this
Warrant, the holder specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of this
Warrant as follows:
(1) The holder is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition, and has acquired information about the Company sufficient to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Warrant. The holder is
acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment purposes only and not
with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
in violation of the Act. The holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
(2) The holder understands that this Warrant has not been registered under
the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends
upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the holder's investment intent
as expressed herein.
-4-
(3) The holder further understands that this Warrant must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under
any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration and
qualification are otherwise available. The holder is aware of the provisions of
Rule 144, promulgated under the Act.
(b) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any offer, sale
--------------------------------
or other disposition of this Warrant or any shares of Series Preferred acquired
pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant
or shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior
thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion
of such holder's counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably requested by the
Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be
effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect
or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or such
shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock and indicating whether or not under
the Act certificates for this Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred to be
sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable
restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law.
Promptly upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion
or other evidence, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable but
no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written notice, shall
notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this
Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock, all in accordance
with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has
been made pursuant to this Section 7(b) that the opinion of counsel for the
holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the
Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such
determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant or
such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock may, as to such federal laws, be
offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 or 144A under
the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such
information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable
assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A have been satisfied. Each
certificate representing this Warrant or the shares of Series Preferred thus
transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A) shall bear a legend
as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure
compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the
holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such
laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in
connection with such restrictions.
(c) Applicability of Restrictions. Neither any restrictions of any
-----------------------------
legend described in this Warrant nor the requirements of Section 7(b) above
shall apply to any transfer of, or grant of a security interest in, this Warrant
(or the Series Preferred or Common Stock obtainable upon exercise thereof) or
any part hereof (i) to a partner of the holder if the holder is a partnership,
(ii) to a partnership of which the holder is a partner, or (iii) to any
affiliate of the holder if the holder is a corporation; provided, however, in
-------- -------
any such transfer, if applicable, the transferee shall on the Company's request
agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Warrant as if an original
signatory hereto.
8. Rights as Shareholders; Information. No holder of this Warrant, as
-----------------------------------
such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of
Series Preferred or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be
issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained
herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of
the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election
of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting
thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or
subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised
and the Shares purchasable
-5-
upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will transmit to the holder of this
Warrant such information, documents and reports as are generally distributed to
the holders of any class or series of the securities of the Company concurrently
with the distribution thereof to the shareholders.
9. Registration Rights. The Company grants registration rights to the
-------------------
holder of this Warrant for any Common Stock of the Company obtained upon
conversion of the Series Preferred, comparable to the registration rights
granted to the investors in that certain Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of September 16, 1996 (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), with the following exceptions and clarifications:
(1) The holder will have no demand registration rights.
(2) The holder will be subject to the same provisions regarding
indemnification as contained in the Registration Rights
Agreement.
(3) The registration rights are freely assignable by the holder of
this Warrant.
10. Additional Rights.
-----------------
10.1 [Intentionally omitted.]
10.2 Mergers. The Company shall provide the holder of this Warrant with
-------
at least thirty (30) days' notice of the terms and conditions of any of the
following potential transactions: (i) the sale, lease, exchange, conveyance or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's property or
business, or (ii) its merger into or consolidation with any other corporation
(other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), or any transaction
(including a merger or other reorganization) or series of related transactions,
in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of. The
Company will cooperate with the holder in arranging the sale of this Warrant in
connection with any such transaction.
10.3 Right to Convert Warrant into Stock: Net Issuance.
--------------------------------------------------
(a) Right to Convert. In addition to and without limiting the rights
----------------
of the holder under the terms of this Warrant, the holder shall have the right
to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the "Conversion Right") into
shares of Series Preferred (or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has been
automatically converted into Common Stock) as provided in this Section 10.3 at
any time or from time to time during the term of this Warrant. Upon exercise of
the Conversion Right with respect to a particular number of shares subject to
this Warrant (the "Converted Warrant Shares"), the Company shall deliver to the
holder (without payment by the holder of any exercise price or any cash or other
consideration) (X) that number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Series
Preferred (or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has been automatically
converted into Common Stock) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the
value of this Warrant (or the specified portion hereof) on the Conversion Date
(as defined in subsection (b) hereof), which value shall be determined by
subtracting (A) the aggregate Warrant Price of the Converted Warrant Shares
immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right from (B) the aggregate
fair market value of the Converted Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant (or the specified portion hereof) on the Conversion Date (as herein
defined) by (Y) the fair market value of one
-6-
share of Series Preferred (or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has been
automatically converted into Common Stock) on the Conversion Date (as herein
defined).
Expressed as a formula, such conversion (assuming the Series Preferred has
been automatically converted into Common Stock) shall be computed as follows:
X = B - A
-----
Y
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock that may
be issued to holder
Y = the fair market value of one share of
Common Stock
A = the aggregate Warrant Price (i.e., Converted
Warrant Shares x Warrant Price)
B = the aggregate fair market value (i.e., fair market value x
Converted Warrant Shares)
No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion
Right, and, if the number of shares to be issued determined in accordance with
the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the
holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting
fractional share on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined). For purposes
of Section 9 of this Warrant, shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Right
shall be treated as if they were issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the
------------------
holder by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with a written statement specifying that the holder thereby intends to
exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of shares subject to
this Warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in Section 10.3(a) hereof
as the Converted Warrant Shares) in exercise of the Conversion Right. Such
conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant
together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is
specified therein (the "Conversion Date"), and, at the election of the holder
hereof, may be made contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company's
Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement under the Act (a "Public Offering"). Certificates for the shares
issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right and, if applicable, a new warrant
evidencing the balance of the shares remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be
issued as of the Conversion Date and shall be delivered to the holder within
thirty (30) days following the Conversion Date. Any conversion from Series
Preferred to Common Stock shall be in the ratio of one (1) share of Common Stock
for each share of Series Preferred (as adjusted herein and in the Charter). On
the Date of Xxxxx, each share of the Series Preferred represented by this
Warrant is convertible into one share of Common Stock.
(c) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section
----------------------------------
10.3, "fair market value" of a share of Series Preferred (or Common Stock if the
Series Preferred has been automatically converted into Common Stock) as of a
particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:
-7-
(i) If the Conversion Right is exercised in connection with and
contingent upon a Public Offering, and if the Company's Registration Statement
relating to such Public Offering ("Registration Statement") has been declared
effective by the SEC, then the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final
prospectus with respect to such offering.
(ii) If the Conversion Right is not exercised in connection with and
contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:
(A) If traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value of the
Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the
Common Stock on such exchange over the 30-day period ending five business
days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the
Series Preferred shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common
Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each
share of Series Preferred is then convertible;
(B) If traded over-the-counter, the fair market value of the Common
Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the
Common Stock over the 30-day period ending five business days prior to the
Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Series Preferred shall
be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by
the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series
Preferred is then convertible; and
(C) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair
market value shall be determined by mutual agreement of the holder of this
Warrant and the Company.
10.4 Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is
-----------------------------
not previously exercised as to all of the Shares subject hereto, and if the fair
market value of one share of the Series Preferred is greater than the Warrant
Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised
pursuant to Section 10.3 above (even if not surrendered) immediately before its
expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of
one share of the Series Preferred upon such expiration shall be determined
pursuant to Section 10.3(c). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof
is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 10.4, the Company
agrees to promptly notify the holder hereof of the number of Shares, if any, the
holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.
11. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants
------------------------------
to the holder of this Warrant as follows:
(a) This Warrant has been duly authorized and executed by the Company
and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance

----------------------------

all or substantially all of the Company's assets, and all of the obligations of
the Company relating to the Series Preferred issuable upon the exercise or
conversion of this Warrant shall survive the exercise, conversion and

Company shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder
hereof. The Company will, at the time of the exercise or conversion of this
Warrant, in whole or in part, upon request of the holder hereof but at the
Company's expense, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to the
holder hereof in respect of any rights (including, without limitation, any right
to registration of the Shares) to which the holder hereof shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise or conversion in accordance with this Warrant;
provided, that the failure of the holder hereof to make any such request shall
--------
not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to the holder hereof in
respect of such rights.
15. Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. The Company covenants to the
-----------------------------------

shall survive indefinitely until, by their respective terms, they are no longer
operative.
