INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

        This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is effective as of                        , 2002 by and between HealtheTech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the indemnitee listed on the signature page hereto ("Indemnitee").

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and its related entities;

        WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and the advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law;

        WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for the Company's directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance;

        WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited; and

        WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee desire to continue to have in place the additional protection provided by an indemnification agreement and to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to the Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for Indemnitee's services to the Company, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
