Re: Change of Control
Agreement
Dear

As we have discussed, HealtheTech, Inc. (the
“Company”) has agreed to extend certain benefits to you
in the event your employment with the Company is terminated within
eighteen months of a “Change of Control” of the
Company. This letter sets out the terms of our agreement (the
“Letter”). Capitalized terms are defined on Exhibit A,
attached.
1. Severance
Benefits . If you or the Company terminates your employment
at any time within the Change of Control Period, then you will be
entitled to receive severance benefits as follows:
(a) Voluntary Resignation;
Termination for Cause. If
you terminate your employment by reason of voluntary resignation
(and not by Involuntary Termination) or if you are terminated for
Cause, then you will not be entitled to receive severance or other
benefits.
(b) Involuntary Termination .
If your employment is terminated or you terminate your employment
as a result of Involuntary Termination, you will be entitled to
receive the following benefits:
(i) severance pay, based upon your
base compensation as of the date your employment ceases, in an
amount equal to one year of base compensation plus bonus (currently
40% of base compensation) at target. Any amount payable shall be
based on the regular compensation rate during the Severance Period,
according to normal Company payroll practices and commencing with
the month immediately after the month in which your employment so
ceases;
(ii) coverage under the
Company’s health, life, dental and other insurance programs
for the Severance Period; and
(iii) immediate vesting of all stock
options and shares of restricted stock held by you, including those
granted or purchased after the date of this Letter.
(c) Disability; Death . If
the Company terminates your employment as a result of your
Disability (as defined below) or such employment is terminated by
your death, then such termination shall be treated as if it were an
Involuntary Termination, and the severance and other benefits shall
be provided, in accordance with subsection (b) above.
2.
Successors . Any successor to the Company (whether
direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger,
consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the
obligations under this Letter and agree expressly to perform the
obligations under this Letter in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations
in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Letter,
the term “Company” shall include any successor to the
Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers
the assumption agreement described in this Section 3 or which
becomes bound by the terms of this Letter by operation of
law.
3. Law Governing;
Arbitration . This Letter shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. Any
dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Letter shall be settled exclusively in arbitration conducted in
Colorado in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the
arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. Punitive
damages shall not be awarded. In any arbitration proceeding, the
party determined to be the prevailing party shall be entitled to
receive, in addition to any other award, its attorneys’ fees
and expenses of the proceeding.

Income Taxes . All payments made pursuant to this Letter
will be subject to withholding of employment taxes.
