<P><FONT SIZE=2>Re:
Modifications to July&nbsp;2000 and August&nbsp;2001 Agreements </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear
Larry: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It
was a pleasure speaking with you today. As discussed, we have an immediate need to make certain modifications to the exclusivity provisions of the August&nbsp;2001 agreement to
avoid termination of that contract. In addition, we would like to work with you over the next month to restructure both the July&nbsp;2000 and August&nbsp;2001 agreements. The purpose of this
letter is to set forth our mutual agreement with respect to these matters. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference
is made to that certain Agreement dated July&nbsp;6, 2000 by and between HealtheTech,&nbsp;Inc. and SensorMedics Corporation (the "2000 Agreement") and that certain
International Distribution Agreement dated as of August&nbsp;2001 by and between HealtheTech,&nbsp;Inc. and SensorMedics Corporation (the "2001 Agreement"). Reference is also made to that certain
letter dated August&nbsp;29, 2002 whereby HealtheTech served notice to SensorMedics of its intent to terminate of the 2001 Agreement effective September&nbsp;30, 2002 (the "Termination Notice"). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject
to your execution of this letter below on or before September&nbsp;30, 2002 indicating the acknowledgement and agreement of SensorMedics with the matters addressed herein,
HealtheTech and SensorMedics agree as follows: </FONT></P>
