                               INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this ____ day of _____________,
200_ by and between PlanetOut Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"),
and __________________ ("Agent").

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, Agent performs a valuable service to the Corporation as an
officer or director of the Corporation;

         WHEREAS, the stockholders of the Corporation have adopted bylaws (the
"Bylaws") providing for the indemnification of the directors, officers,
employees and other agents of the Corporation, including persons serving at the
request of the Corporation in such capacities with other corporations or
enterprises, as authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
(the "Code");

         WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the Code, by their non-exclusive nature, permit
contracts between the Corporation and its agents, officers, employees and other
agents with respect to indemnification of such persons; and

         WHEREAS, in order to induce Agent to continue to serve the Corporation,
the Corporation has determined and agreed to enter into this Agreement with
Agent.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Agent's continued service after the
date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

         1.       Services to the Corporation. Agent will serve, at the will of
the Corporation or under separate contract, if any such contract exists, as a
director, officer or other fiduciary of an affiliate of the Corporation
(including any employee benefit plan of the Corporation) faithfully and to the
best of Agent's ability so long as Agent is duly elected and qualified in
accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws or other applicable charter
documents of the Corporation or such affiliate; provided, however, that Agent
may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any
contractual obligation that Agent may have assumed apart from this Agreement)
and that the Corporation or any affiliate shall have no obligation under this
Agreement to continue Agent in any such position.

         2.       Indemnity of Agent. The Corporation hereby agrees to hold
harmless and indemnify Agent to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by
the provisions of the Bylaws and the Code, as the same may be amended from time
to time (but, only to the

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than the Bylaws or the Code permitted prior to adoption
of such amendment).

         3.       Additional Indemnity. In addition to and not in limitation of
the indemnification otherwise provided for herein, and subject only to the
exclusions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Corporation hereby further agrees
to hold harmless and indemnify Agent:

                  a.       against any and all expenses (including attorneys'
fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
and any other amounts that Agent becomes legally obligated to pay because of any
claim or claims made against or by him in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
arbitrational, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in the
right of the Corporation) to which Agent is, was or at any time becomes a party,
or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Agent is, was or
at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or other agent of Corporation,
or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the Corporation as
a director, officer, employee or other agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise;
and

                  b.       otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to
Agent by the Corporation under the non-exclusivity provisions of the Code and
Section 43 of the Bylaws.

         4.       Limitations on Additional Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to
Section 3 hereof shall be paid by the Corporation:

                  a.       on account of any claim against Agent solely for an
accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Agent of securities of
the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any
federal, state or local statutory law;

                  b.       on account of Agent's conduct that is established by
a final judgment as knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that
constituted willful misconduct;

                  c.       on account of Agent's conduct that is established by
a final judgment as constituting a breach of Agent's duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or resulting in any personal profit or advantage to which Agent was
not legally entitled;

                  d.       for which payment is actually made to Agent under a
valid and collectible insurance policy or under a valid and enforceable
indemnity clause, bylaw or agreement, except in respect of any excess beyond
payment under such insurance, clause, bylaw or agreement;

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

                  e.       if indemnification is not lawful (and, in this
respect, both the Corporation and Agent have been advised that the Securities
and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities arising
under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore,
unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to
appropriate courts for adjudication); or

                  f.       in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof)
initiated by Agent, or any proceeding by Agent against the Corporation or its
directors, officers, employees or other agents, unless (i) such indemnification
is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation or (iii) the proceeding is initiated
pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

         5.       Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of
the Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Agent is a
director, officer, employee or other agent of the Corporation (or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
other agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Agent
shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrational,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Agent was serving in
the capacity referred to herein.

         6.       Partial Indemnification. Agent shall be entitled under this
Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for a portion of the expenses
(including attorneys' fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement and any other amounts that Agent becomes legally obligated to
pay in connection with any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 3
hereof even if not entitled hereunder to indemnification for the total amount
thereof, and the Corporation shall indemnify Agent for the portion thereof to
which Agent is entitled.

         7.       Notification and Defense of Claim. Not later than thirty (30)
days after receipt by Agent of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or
proceeding, Agent will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
Corporation under this Agreement, notify the Corporation of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to Agent otherwise than under this Agreement.
With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Agent notifies
the Corporation of the commencement thereof:

                  a.       the Corporation will be entitled to participate
therein at its own expense;

                  b.       except as otherwise provided below, the Corporation
may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

Agent. After notice from the Corporation to Agent of its election to assume the
defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to Agent under this
Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Agent in
connection with the defense thereof except for reasonable costs of investigation
or otherwise as provided below. Agent shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in such action, suit or proceeding but the fees and expenses of such
counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the
defense thereof shall be at the expense of Agent unless (i) the employment of
counsel by Agent has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) Agent shall have
reasonably concluded, and so notified the Corporation, that there is an actual
conflict of interest between the Corporation and Agent in the conduct of the
defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed
counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees
and expenses of Agent's separate counsel shall be at the expense of the
Corporation. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as to
which Agent shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above;
and

                  c.       the Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify
Agent under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or
claim effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Corporation shall be permitted to settle any action except that it
shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any
penalty or limitation on Agent without Agent's written consent, which may be
given or withheld in Agent's sole discretion.

         8.       Expenses. The Corporation shall advance to an Agent who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or executive
officer, of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final
disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses
incurred by Agent in connection with such proceeding provided, however, that if
the Code requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or
executive officer in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and
not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Agent,
including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be
made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an
"undertaking"), by or on behalf of such Agent, to repay all amounts so advanced
if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there
is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a "final adjudication") that such
Agent is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under Section 43 of
the Bylaws or otherwise.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the
Corporation to an Agent (except by reason of the fact that such Agent is or was
a director of the Corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in
any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a
majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a
quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote
of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such
directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time
such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person
acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

         9.       Enforcement. Any right to indemnification or advances granted
by this Agreement to Agent shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Agent in any
court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances
is denied, in whole or in part or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made
within ninety (90) days of request therefor. Agent, in such enforcement action,
if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense
of prosecuting his claim. It shall be a defense to any action for which a claim
for indemnification is made under Section 3 hereof (other than an action brought
to enforce a claim for expenses pursuant to Section 8 hereof, provided that the
required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that Agent is not
entitled to indemnification because of the limitations set forth in Section 4
hereof. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors
or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
such enforcement action that indemnification of Agent is proper in the
circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its
Board of Directors or its stockholders) that such indemnification is improper
shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Agent is not
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

         10.      Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Agent, who shall execute all documents required and shall
do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the
Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

         11.      Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on Agent by
this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Agent may have or
hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Corporation's Certificate
of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or
otherwise.

                                      -5-

         12.      Survival of Rights.

                  a.       The rights conferred on Agent by this Agreement shall
continue after Agent has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other
agent of the Corporation or to serve at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or other agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and shall inure
to the benefit of Agent's heirs, executors and administrators.

                  b.       The Corporation shall require any successor (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, expressly to
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession
had taken place.

         13.      Separability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a
separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any
provision hereof shall be held to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions hereof. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its
entirety on any ground, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Agent
to the fullest extent provided by the Bylaws, the Code or any other applicable
law.

         14.      Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

         15.      Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification,
termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in a
writing signed by both parties hereto.

         16.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original
but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

         17.      Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this
Agreement or to affect the construction hereof.

         18.      Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given (i) upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom such
communication was directed or (ii) upon the third business day after the date on
which such communication was mailed if mailed by certified or registered mail
with postage prepaid:

                  a.       If to Agent, at the address indicated on the
signature page hereof.

            During his Employment, the Employee may engage in lawful conduct
            occurring during nonworking hours away from the Company's premises;
            provided however, that lawful conduct does not include without

            the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement with the
            Company, breach of this Agreement, engagement in a competitive

            Company, in preparing to compete with the Company or in hiring any
            employees or consultants of the Company. In the event that the
            Employee engages in lawful conduct in business activities other than
            the Company's business, or in charitable and political activities
            not directly associated with the Company during nonworking hours
            away from the Company's premises, the Employee must in writing
            notify the Company of the Employee's activity and purpose of
            activity, name of employer (if any) or organization, position with
            respect to the activity or the entity and any potential conflict
            that may arise from that activity, including the number of hours
            spent engaging in such activity that may or will detract from the
            business of the Company. The Employee shall comply with the
            Company's policies and rules, as they may be in effect from time to
            time during his Employment.

      C)    NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATIONS. The Employee represents and warrants to
            the Company that he is under no obligations or commitments, whether
            contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with his obligations
            under this Agreement. The Employee represents and warrants that he
            will not use or disclose, in connection with his employment by the
            Company, any trade secrets or other proprietary information or
            intellectual property in which the Employee or any other person,
            other than the Company, has any right, title or interest and that
            his employment by the Company as contemplated by this Agreement will
            not infringe or violate the rights of any other person. The Employee
            represents and warrants to the Company that he has returned all
            property and confidential information belonging to any prior
            employer. The Employee agrees to sign the current versions and any
            future versions of the Company's various agreements related to
            confidentiality, inventions and related intellectual matters.

      D)    COMMENCEMENT DATE AND LOCATION. The Employee, having already
            commenced Employment with the Company (or a predecessor company) on
            July 12, 1999, works in the San Francisco office of the Company.

2.    CASH AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION.

      A)    SALARY. The Company shall pay the Employee as compensation for his
            services a base salary at a gross annual rate of not less than
            $265,000, as of the date hereof, and rising to $298,000, as of
            October 1, 2004. Such salary shall be payable in accordance with the
            Company's standard payroll procedures. (The annual compensation
            specified in this Subsection (a), together with any increases in
            such compensation that the Company may grant from time to time, is
            referred to in this Agreement as "Base Compensation.") The Employee
            will be entitled to receive an evaluation of performance on or about
            each successive annual anniversary of the Employee's commencement.
            All future changes to compensation will be based on the results of
            evaluations of the Employee's performance, whether such evaluations
            are performed annually, or more frequently as may be initiated by
            Employee's senior management.

      B)    INCENTIVE BONUSES. The Employee shall be eligible to be considered
            for an annual incentive bonus with a target amount equal to a
            maximum of 50% of his Base Compensation. Such bonus (if any) shall
            be awarded based on objective or subjective criteria established in
            advance by the Board Compensation Committee, approved by the Board
            and after such approval presented to Employee. The determinations of
            the Board with respect to such bonus shall be final and binding.

      C)    2004 BONUS. In addition to any incentive bonus which may be paid
            under paragraph 2b, the Employee shall be paid a one-time bonus of
            $50,000 (or such higher amount as the Board of Directors may
            determine in its sole discretion), for the Employee's work in 2004.
            The timing of the payment of this bonus will be at the discretion of
            the Board of Directors, in consultation with the Chief Financial
            Officer.

            Company may grant the Employee stock options, from time-to-time,
            covering the shares of the Company's equity securities. The terms of
            such options shall be as determined by the Board at the time of any
            such grant. Such terms shall be provided in writing to the Employee
            at the time of any such grant.

3.    VACATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. During his Employment, the Employee shall
      be eligible for paid vacations in accordance with the Company's standard
      policy for employees, as it may be amended from time to time. Employee
      shall be eligible to accrue paid vacation days at the rate of 8.33vacation
      hours per semi-monthly pay period, and any unused vacation days may be
      carried over to subsequent calendar years, provided that no more than 350
      hours may be accrued on any given date. Upon your accrual of 350 vacation
      hours, you will cease to accrue vacation days until you use vacation days
      such that the number of vacation days that you have accrued is less than
      350. During his Employment, the Employee shall be eligible to participate
      in any employee benefit plans maintained by the Company for similarly
      situated employees, subject in each case to the generally applicable terms
      and conditions of the plan in question and to the determinations of any
      person or committee administering such plan based on the terms of the plan
      and Company policy. At Employee's option, Employee shall

                                       3
<PAGE>
      be eligible to use either Company or personal health, dental, vision,
      life, and disability insurance (additional life and disability insurance
      are subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
      Directors) and present the Company receipts for such insurance for
      reimbursement by the Company.

4.    BUSINESS EXPENSES. During his Employment, the Employee shall be authorized
      to incur necessary and reasonable travel, entertainment and other business
      expenses in connection with his duties hereunder. The Company shall
      reimburse the Employee for such expenses upon presentation of an itemized
      account and appropriate supporting documentation, all in accordance with
      the Company's generally applicable policies.

5.    TERM OF EMPLOYMENT.

      A)    BASIC RULE. The Company agrees to continue the Employee's
            Employment, and the Employee agrees to remain in Employment with the
            Company, from the commencement date set forth in Section 1(d) until
            the date when the Employee's Employment terminates pursuant to
            Subsection (b) or (c) below. The Employee's Employment with the
            Company shall be "at will," meaning that either the Employee or the
            Company shall be entitled to terminate the Employee's employment at
            any time and for any reason, with or without Cause. Any contrary
            representations that may have been made to the Employee shall be
            superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the
            full and complete agreement between the Employee and the Company on
            the "at will" nature of the Employee's Employment, which may only be
            changed in an express written agreement signed by the Employee and a
            duly authorized officer of the Company.

      B)    TERMINATION. The Company may terminate the Employee's Employment at
            any time and for any reason (or no reason), and with or without
            Cause, by giving the Employee notice in writing. The Employee may
            terminate his Employment by giving the Company thirty (30) days'
            advance notice in writing. The Employee's Employment shall terminate
            automatically in the event of his death.

      C)    RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION. Except as expressly provided in Section 6,
            upon the termination of the Employee's Employment pursuant to this
            Section 5, the Employee shall only be entitled to the compensation,
            benefits and reimbursements described in Sections 2, 3 and 4 for the
            period preceding the effective date of the termination. The payments
            under this Agreement shall fully discharge all responsibilities of
            the Company to the Employee.

      D)    TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall terminate when all
            obligations of the parties hereunder have been satisfied. The
            termination of this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect
            any of the Employee's obligations under Section 7.

      A)    GENERAL RELEASE. Any other provision of this Agreement
            notwithstanding, Subsections (b) and (c) below shall not apply
            unless the Employee (i) has executed a reasonable general release
            (in a form prescribed by the Company) of all known and unknown
            claims that he may then have against the Company or persons
            affiliated with the Company and (ii) has agreed not to prosecute any
            legal action or other proceeding based upon any of such claims.

      B)    SEVERANCE PAY.

            i)    If, during the term of this Agreement, the Company terminates
                  the Employee's Employment (including through "Constructive
                  Termination" as defined below) for any reason other than Cause
                  or Permanent Disability, then the Company shall pay the
                  Employee his Base Compensation for a period of twelve (12)
                  months following the termination of his Employment (the "Base
                  Continuation Period") and shall accelerate the vesting of any
                  outstanding stock options such that the Employee will become
                  vested in an additional number of shares subject to such stock
                  options, as if the Employee provided another twelve (12)
                  months of service with the Company. Such Base Compensation
                  shall be paid at the rate in effect at the time of the
                  termination of Employment and in accordance with the Company's
                  standard payroll procedures

            ii)   If, within sixteen (16) months following a Change of Control
                  (as defined in Part 2(e) of the Planetout Partners, Inc.
                  Performance and Equity Participation (PEP) Plan as adopted on
                  January 22, 2002 (the "PEP Plan")) and the Company terminates
                  the Employee's Employment (including through "Constructive
                  Termination" as defined below) for any reason other than Cause
                  or Permanent Disability, then, subject to the "Parachute
                  Payment" provisions of paragraph 5(d) of the PEP Plan (as if
                  such provisions were a full part of this agreement, even if
                  such plan is not in effect at the time of a Change of
                  Control), the Company shall pay the Employee his Base
                  Compensation for a period of twenty-four (24) months following
                  the termination of his Employment (the "Change of Control
                  Continuation Period"), and shall accelerate the vesting of any
                  outstanding stock options such that the Employee will become
                  vested in an additional number of shares subject to such stock
                  options, as if the Employee provided the greater of either (A)
                  another twelve (12) months of service with the Company or (B)
                  50% of the remaining unvested shares. Such Base Compensation
                  shall be paid at the rate in effect at the time of the
                  termination of Employment and in accordance with the Company's
                  standard payroll procedures.

                  under this Agreement "Constructive Termination" shall mean the
                  Employee's resignation within sixty (60) days following (i) a
                  material reduction or change in title, job duties, authority,
                  responsibilities or job requirements inconsistent with
                  Employee's position with the Company to which the Employee has
                  not agreed to in writing; (ii) any reduction of Employee's
                  Base Compensation to which the Employee has not agreed to in
                  writing; (iii) any elimination of a material benefit provided
                  to the Employee pursuant to

                                       5
<PAGE>
                  employment with the Company to which the Employee has not
                  agreed to in writing unless such material benefit is being
                  eliminated for all Employees in comparable positions or
                  Employee's class due to a reasonable business need or
                  condition; (iv) a relocation of place of employment more than
                  sixty (60) miles from San Francisco, California; (v) the

                  "constructive termination" of the Employee by the Company
                  under California law. The provisions of subparts (i) through
                  (iii) of this subparagraph b(iii) shall not apply if any

            Employee's monthly premium under COBRA until the earliest of (i) the
            close of the Base Continuation Period or Change of Control
            Continuation Period, as applicable, (ii) the expiration of the

            the Employee receives substantially equivalent health insurance
            coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment.
