                           SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        3.1  Number Available. A maximum of 600,000 shares of Common Stock shall
             ----------------
initially be available for issuance pursuant to the Plan. Subsequently, the
number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the Plan

stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger,
consolidation, offering of rights or other similar change in the capital

                                  SECTION 4
                                  ENROLLMENT

        4.1  Participation. Each Eligible Employee may elect to become a
             -------------
Participant by enrolling or re-enrolling in the Plan effective as of any
Enrollment Date. In order to enroll, an Eligible Employee must complete, sign
and submit to the Company an enrollment form in such form, manner and by such
deadline as may be specified by the Committee from time to time (in its
discretion and on a nondiscriminatory basis). Any Participant whose option
expires and who has not withdrawn from the Plan automatically will be re-
enrolled in the Plan on the Enrollment Date immediately following the Purchase
Date on which his or her option expires. Any Participant whose option has not
expired and who has not withdrawn from the Plan automatically will be deemed to
be un-enrolled from the Participant's current option and be enrolled as of a
subsequent Enrollment Date if the price per Share on such subsequent Enrollment
Date is lower than the price per Share on the Enrollment Date relating to the
Participant's current option.

        4.2  Payroll Withholding. On his or her enrollment form, each
             -------------------
Participant must elect to make Plan contributions via payroll withholding from
his or her Compensation. Pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may
specify from time to time, a Participant may elect to have withholding equal to
a whole percentage from 1% to 15% (or such lesser percentage that the Committee
may establish from time to time for all options to be granted on any Enrollment
Date). A Participant may elect to increase or decrease his or her rate of
payroll withholding by submitting a new enrollment form in accordance with such
procedures as may be established by the Committee from time to time. A
Participant may stop his or her payroll withholding by submitting a new
enrollment form in accordance with such procedures as may be established by the
Committee from time to time. In order to be effective as of a specific date, an
enrollment form must be received by the Company no later than the deadline
specified by the Committee, in its discretion and on a nondiscriminatory basis,
from time to time. Any Participant who is automatically re-enrolled in the Plan
will be deemed to have elected to continue his or her contributions at the
percentage last elected by the Participant.

                                   SECTION 5
                        OPTIONS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

        5.1  Grant of Option. On each Enrollment Date on which the Participant
             ---------------
enrolls or re-enrolls in the Plan, he or she shall be granted an option to
purchase shares of Common Stock.

        5.2  Duration of Option. Each option granted under the Plan shall expire
             ------------------
on the earliest to occur of (a) the completion of the purchase of shares on the
last Purchase Date occurring within 27 months of the Grant Date of such option,
(b) such shorter option period as may be established by the Committee from time
to time prior to an Enrollment Date for all options to be granted on such
Enrollment Date, or (c) the date on which the Participant ceases to be such for
any reason. Until otherwise determined by the Committee for all options to be
granted on an Enrollment Date, the period referred to in clause (b) in the
preceding sentence shall mean the period from the applicable Enrollment Date
through the last business day prior to the immediately following Enrollment
Date.

        5.3  Number of Shares Subject to Option. The number of shares available
             ----------------------------------
for purchase by each Participant under the option will be established by the
Committee from time to time prior to an Enrollment Date for all options to be
granted on such Enrollment Date.

        5.4  Other Terms and Conditions. Each option shall be subject to the
             --------------------------
following additional terms and conditions:

        (a)  payment for shares purchased under the option shall be made only
     through payroll withholding under Section 4.2;

        (b)  purchase of shares upon exercise of the option will be accomplished
     only in accordance with Section 6.1;

        (c)  the price per share under the option will be determined as provided
     in Section 6.1; and

        (d)  the option in all respects shall be subject to such other terms and
     conditions (applied on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis), as the
     Committee shall determine from time to time in its discretion.

                                   SECTION 6
                               PURCHASE OF SHARES

        6.1  Exercise of Option. Subject to Section 6.2, on each Purchase Date,
             ------------------
the funds then credited to each Participant's account shall be used to purchase
whole shares of Common Stock. Any cash remaining after whole shares of Common
Stock have been purchased shall be carried forward in the Participant's account
for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date. The price per Share of the
Shares purchased under any option granted under the Plan shall be eighty-five
percent (85%) of the lower of:

        (a)  the closing price per Share on the Grant Date for such option on
     the NASDAQ National Market System; or

                                       4
<PAGE>

        (b)  the closing price per Share on the Purchase Date on the NASDAQ
     National Market System;

provided, however, that with respect to any Grant Date under the Plan that
coincides with the date of the final prospectus for the initial public offering
of the Common Stock, the price in clause (a) above shall be the price per Share
at which shares of Common Stock are initially offered for sale to the public by
the Company's underwriters in such offering.

        6.2  Delivery of Shares. As directed by the Committee in its sole
             ------------------
discretion, shares purchased on any Purchase Date shall be delivered directly to
the Participant or to a custodian or broker (if any) designated by the Committee
to hold shares for the benefit of the Participants. As determined by the
Committee from time to time, such shares shall be delivered as physical
certificates or by means of a book entry system.

        6.3  Exhaustion of Shares. If at any time the shares available under the
             --------------------
Plan are over-enrolled, enrollments shall be reduced proportionately to
eliminate the over-enrollment. Such reduction method shall be "bottom up", with
the result that all option exercises for one share shall be satisfied first,
followed by all exercises for two shares, and so on, until all available shares
have been exhausted. Any funds that, due to over-enrollment, cannot be applied
to the purchase of whole shares shall be refunded to the Participants (without
interest thereon).

                                   SECTION 7
                                   WITHDRAWAL

        7.1  Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw from the Plan by submitting
             ----------
a completed enrollment form to the Company. A withdrawal will be effective only
if it is received by the Company by the deadline specified by the Committee (in
its discretion and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis) from time to time.
When a withdrawal becomes effective, the Participant's payroll contributions
shall cease and all amounts then credited to the Participant's account shall be
distributed to him or her (without interest thereon).

                                   SECTION 8
                           CESSATION OF PARTICIPATION

        8.1  Termination of Status as Eligible Employee. A Participant shall
             ------------------------------------------
cease to be a Participant immediately upon the cessation of his or her status as
an Eligible Employee (for example, because of his or her termination of
employment from all Employers for any reason). As soon as practicable after such
cessation, the Participant's payroll contributions shall cease and all amounts
then credited to the Participant's account shall be distributed to him or her
(without interest thereon). If a Participant is on a Company-approved leave of
absence, his or her participation in the Plan shall continue for so long as he
or she remains an Eligible Employee and has not withdrawn from the Plan pursuant
to Section 7.1.

                                   SECTION 9
                           DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

        9.1  Designation.  Each Participant may, pursuant to such uniform and
             -----------
nondiscriminatory procedures as the Committee may specify from time to time,
designate one or

                                       5
<PAGE>

more Beneficiaries to receive any amounts credited to the Participant's account
at the time of his or her death. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Section 9, Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall be operative only after (and for so long
as) the Committee determines (on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis) to
permit the designation of Beneficiaries.

        9.2  Changes. A Participant may designate different Beneficiaries (or
             -------
may revoke a prior Beneficiary designation) at any time by delivering a new
designation (or revocation of a prior designation) in like manner. Any
designation or revocation shall be effective only if it is received by the
Committee. However, when so received, the designation or revocation shall be
effective as of the date the designation or revocation is executed (whether or
not the Participant still is living), but without prejudice to the Committee on
account of any payment made before the change is recorded. The last effective
designation received by the Committee shall supersede all prior designations.

        9.3  Failed Designations. If a Participant dies without having
             -------------------
effectively designated a Beneficiary, or if no Beneficiary survives the
Participant, the Participant's Account shall be payable to his or her estate.

                                  SECTION 10

        10.2  Actions by Committee. Each decision of a majority of the members
              --------------------

the Committee. The Committee may act with or without a meeting being called or
held and shall keep minutes of all meetings held and a record of all actions
taken by written consent.

        10.3  Powers of Committee. The Committee shall have all powers and

                      AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, AND DURATION

        11.1  Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Board, in its sole
              -------------------------------------
discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time
and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Board, in its discretion, may
elect to terminate all outstanding options either immediately or upon completion
of the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date, or may elect to permit
options to expire in accordance with their terms (and participation to continue
through such expiration dates). If the options are terminated prior to
expiration, all amounts then credited to Participants' accounts which have not
been used to purchase shares shall be returned to the Participants (without
interest thereon) as soon as administratively practicable.

        11.2  Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall commence on the date
              --------------------
specified herein, and subject to Section 11.1 (regarding the Board's right to
amend or terminate the Plan), shall terminate on the date ten (10) years from
such date.

                                  SECTION 12
                              GENERAL PROVISIONS

        12.1  Participation by Subsidiaries. One or more Subsidiaries of the
              -----------------------------
Company may become participating Employers by adopting the Plan and obtaining
approval for such adoption from the Board. By adopting the Plan, a Subsidiary
shall be deemed to agree to all of its terms, including (but not limited to) the
provisions granting exclusive authority (a) to the Board to amend the Plan, and
(b) to the Committee to administer and interpret the Plan. An Employer may
terminate its participation in the Plan at any time. The liabilities incurred
under the Plan to the Participants employed by each Employer shall be solely the
liabilities of that Employer, and no other Employer shall be liable for benefits
accrued by a Participant during any period when he or she was not employed by
such Employer.

        12.2  Inalienability. In no event may either a Participant, a former
              --------------
Participant or his or her Beneficiary, spouse or estate sell, transfer,
anticipate, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any right or interest
under the Plan; and such rights and interests shall not at any time be subject
to the claims of creditors nor be liable to attachment, execution or other legal
process.  Accordingly, for example, a Participant's interest in the Plan is not
transferable pursuant to a domestic relations order.

        12.3  Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held
              ------------
illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as
if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

        12.4  Requirements of Law. The granting of options and the issuance of
              -------------------
shares shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to
such approvals by any governmental agencies or securities exchanges as the
Committee may determine are necessary or appropriate.

                                       8
<PAGE>

        12.5  Compliance with Rule 16b-3. Any transactions under this Plan with
              --------------------------
respect to officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1 promulgated under the 1934 Act)
are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the
extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply,
it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Committee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan,
if the Committee specifically determines that compliance with Rule 16b-3 no
longer is required, all references in the Plan to Rule 16b-3 shall be null and
void.

        12.6  No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Neither the establishment or
              -----------------------------------
maintenance of the Plan, the granting of options, the purchase of shares, nor
any action of any Employer or the Committee, shall be held or construed to
confer upon any individual any right to be continued as an employee of the
Employer nor, upon dismissal, any right or interest in any specific assets of
the Employers other than as provided in the Plan.  Each Employer expressly
reserves the right to discharge any employee at any time, with or without cause.

        12.7  Apportionment of Costs and Duties. All acts required of the
              ---------------------------------
Employers under the Plan may be performed by the Company for itself and its
Subsidiaries, and the costs of the Plan may be equitably apportioned by the
Committee among the Company and the other Employers. Whenever an Employer is
permitted or required under the terms of the Plan to do or perform any act,
matter or thing, it shall be done and performed by any officer or employee of
the Employers who is thereunto duly authorized by the Employers.

        12.8  Construction and Applicable Law. The Plan is intended to qualify
              -------------------------------
as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the
Code. Any provision of the Plan which is inconsistent with Section 423(b) of the
Code shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the Committee, be
reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423(b). The provisions of
the Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with such
Section and with the laws of the State of California (excluding California's
conflict of laws provisions).

        12.9  Captions. The captions contained in and the table of contents
              --------
prefixed to the Plan are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way
define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of the Plan nor in any
way shall affect the construction of any provision of the Plan.

                        iBEAM BROADCASTING CORPORATION

                             CONSULTING AGREEMENT

     This Consulting Agreement ("Agreement") is effective as of the 25th day of
January, 2000 (the "Effective Date") by and between iBEAM Broadcasting
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Frederic Seegal
("Consultant").  The Company desires to retain Consultant as an independent
contractor to perform consulting services for the Company and Consultant is
willing to perform such services, on terms set forth more fully below.  In
consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as
follows:

     1.   SERVICES AND COMPENSATION

          (a)  Consultant agrees to perform for the Company the services
("Services") described in Exhibit A, attached hereto.

          (b)  The Company agrees to pay Consultant the compensation set forth
in Exhibit A for the performance of the Services.

     2.   CONFIDENTIALITY

          (a)  "Confidential Information" means any Company proprietary
information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not
limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customers, customer
lists, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas,
technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information,
marketing, finances or other business information disclosed by the Company
either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection
of parts or equipment.

          (b)  Consultant will not, during or subsequent to the term of this
Agreement, use the Company's Confidential Information for any purpose
whatsoever other than the performance of the Services on behalf of the Company
or disclose the Company's Confidential Information to any third party, and it
is understood that said Confidential Information shall remain the sole property
of the Company.  Consultant further agrees to take all reasonable precautions
to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information
including, but not limited to, having each employee of Consultant, if any, with
access to any Confidential Information, execute a nondisclosure agreement
containing provisions in the Company's favor substantially similar to Sections
2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement.  Upon Company's request, Consultant shall provide
copies of such non-disclosure agreements to Company.  Confidential Information
does not include information which (i) is known to Consultant at the time of
disclosure to Consultant by the Company as evidenced by written records of
Consultant, (ii) has become publicly known and made generally available through
no wrongful act of Consultant, or (iii) has been rightfully received by
Consultant from a third party who is authorized to make such disclosure.

          (c)  Consultant agrees that Consultant will not, during the term of
this Agreement, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade
secrets of any former or current employer or other person or entity with which
Consultant has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired
by Consultant in confidence, if any, and that Consultant will not bring onto
the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information
belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by
such employer, person or entity.

          (d)  Consultant recognizes that the Company has received and in the
future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary
information subject to a duty on the Company's part to
<PAGE>

maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain
limited purposes. Consultant agrees that Consultant owes the Company and such
third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold
all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence
and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except
as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company consistent with the
Company's agreement with such third party.

          (e)  Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon Company's
earlier request, Consultant will deliver to the Company all of the Company's
property or Confidential Information in tangible form that Consultant may have
in Consultant's possession or control (including without limitation,
Confidential Information in the possession or control of Consultant's
employees).

     3.   OWNERSHIP

          (a)  Consultant agrees that all copyrightable material, notes,
records, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries
and trade secrets (collectively, "Inventions") conceived, made or discovered by
Consultant, solely or in collaboration with others, during the period of this
Agreement which relate in any manner to the business of the Company that
Consultant may be directed to undertake, investigate or experiment with, or
which Consultant may become associated with in work, investigation or
experimentation in the line of business of Company in performing the Services
hereunder, are the sole property of the Company.  In addition, any Inventions
which constitute copyrightable subject matter shall be considered "works made
for hire" as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act.
Consultant further agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and does hereby
assign fully to the Company all such Inventions and any copyrights, patents,
mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto.

          (b)  Consultant agrees to assist Company, or its designee, at the
Company's expense, in every proper way to secure the Company's rights in the
Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual
property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the
disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect
thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments
and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to
apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the
Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights,
title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask
work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto.  Consultant
further agrees that Consultant's obligation to execute or cause to be executed,
when it is in Consultant's power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall
continue after the termination of this Agreement.

          (c)  Consultant agrees that if the Company is unable because of
Consultant's unavailability, dissolution, mental or physical incapacity, or for
any other reason, to secure Consultant's signature to apply for or to pursue
any application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work or
copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to the Company above,
then Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its
duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant's agent and attorney in fact,
to act for and in Consultant's behalf and stead to execute and file any such
applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright and mask work registrations
thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant.

     4.   CONFLICTING OBLIGATIONS

          (a)  Consultant certifies that Consultant has no outstanding
agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any of the provisions of this
Agreement, or that would preclude Consultant from complying with the provisions
hereof, and further certifies that Consultant will not enter into any such
conflicting Agreement during the term of this Agreement.

without Company's prior written consent, perform identical or substantially
similar Services as those under this Agreement for any third party during the
term of this Agreement.

          (c)  Consultant agrees not to solicit the services of or employ of any
of the Company's employees during the term of this Agreement and for a period of
one (1) year thereafter without the Company's prior written consent.

will continue until final completion of the Services or termination as provided
below.

          (b)  Either the Company or Consultant may terminate this Agreement
upon two (2) days prior written notice thereof to the other party for any
reason or no reason, with or without cause. Any such notice shall be addressed
to Consultant at such facsimile address as either party may notify the other of
and shall be deemed given upon delivery when delivered by facsimile with
confirmation by mail.  The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately and
without prior notice if Consultant refuses to or is unable to perform the
Services or is in breach of any material provision of this Agreement.

          (c)  Upon such termination all rights and duties of the parties
toward each other shall cease except Sections 2 (Confidentiality), 3
(Ownership) and 7 (Independent Contractors) shall survive termination of this
Agreement.

     6.   ASSIGNMENT

          Neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder or interest herein may
be assigned or transferred by Consultant without the express written consent of
the Company.

     7.   INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

Consultant as an agent, employee or representative of the Company, but
Consultant shall perform the Services hereunder as an independent contractor.

     8.   GOVERNING LAW
