                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT dated as of __________, _______, by and between
HealthGate Data Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), and
_____________ ("Indemnitee").

                                   WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS, it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as
Directors and Officers the most capable persons available, and

         WHEREAS, it is the policy of the Corporation to indemnify its Directors
and Officers so as to provide them with the maximum possible protection
permitted by law, and

         WHEREAS, Indemnitee may not be willing to continue to serve as a
Director or Officer, as the case may be, without full and adequate protection,
and the Corporation desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and Indemnitee's
continued service as a Director or Officer, as the case may be, of the
Corporation after the date hereof, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by each
of the parties hereto, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.       Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

                  (a) The term "Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending
         or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether brought in the name of
         the Corporation or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal,
         administrative or investigative nature, in which Indemnitee may be or
         may have been involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact
         that Indemnitee is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or
         by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee or of any inaction on
         Indemnitee's part while serving as such a Director or Officer, or by
         reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of
         the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
         corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
         affiliated with the Corporation, whether or not Indemnitee is still
         serving as a Director or Officer of the Corporation and/or such other
         enterprise at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which
         indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement.

                  (b) The term "Expenses" includes, without limitation thereto,
         (i) all expenses of investigations, judicial or administrative
         proceedings or appeals, (ii) all damages, judgments, fines and amounts
         paid in settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee, (iii) all attorneys'
         fees and disbursements incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
         Proceeding, this Agreement, or any other matter involving
<PAGE>   2
         the Corporation, and (iv) all attorneys' fees, disbursements and
         expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under this
         Agreement.

2.       Indemnity. Subject only to the limitations set forth in Section 3 of
         this Agreement, the Corporation shall pay on behalf of Indemnitee all
         Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection
         with and/or as a consequence of any Proceeding.

3.       Advance Payment of Costs. All Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
         connection with and/or as a consequence of a Proceeding shall be
         promptly paid by the Corporation, as incurred and in the advance of the
         final determination of such Proceeding, and in any event within thirty
         (30) days of receipt by the Corporation of an invoice with respect
         thereto. Indemnitee hereby agrees to repay to the Corporation any
         amounts advanced to Indemnitee hereunder in the event as a consequence
         of any final determination of a Proceeding, the Corporation shall be
         prohibited by applicable law from indemnifying Indemnitee for such
         amounts. For purposes hereof, the phrase a "final determination of a
         Proceeding" shall mean a decision by a court having the legal authority
         to make such a decision, which decision has become final and from which
         no appeal or other review proceeding is possible.

4.       Enforcement. The right to indemnification as provided by this Agreement
         shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent
         jurisdiction.

5.       Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided
         by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
         which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certificate of
         Incorporation, the By-Laws, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or
         disinterested Directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of
         Delaware, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee's official
         capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
         office. The indemnification under this Agreement shall continue as to
         Indemnitee even though Indemnitee may have ceased to be a Director or
         Officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal
         representatives of Indemnitee. This Agreement shall remain in full
         force and effect until the later of the final determination of any and
         all Proceedings now existing or hereinafter arising and the fulfillment
         by the Corporation of all of its obligations hereunder.

6.       Savings Clause. If this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be
         invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then
         the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses
         with respect to any Proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by law.
         If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalidated on any ground
         by any court of competent jurisdiction, then all other provisions of
         this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect

7.       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
         counterparts, each of which shall constitute the original.

8.       Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in
         accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

9.       Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
         Corporation and its successors and assigns.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereby have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and signed as of the day and year first above written.

                  "RESTRICTED STOCK" shall mean the Merger Shares, excluding
         Merger Shares which (a) have been registered under the Securities Act
         pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Merger
         Shares filed in compliance with the Securities Act and disposed of in
         accordance with the registration statement covering them; or (b) have
         been sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

                  "SELLING EXPENSES" shall mean the expenses so described in

         2. REGISTRATION. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 (or such successor

Commission which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information
by reference to other documents filed by Parent with the Commission), relating
to all of the shares of Restricted Stock on or before March 15, 2000; provided,
however, that Parent shall not be required to register shares of Restricted
Stock of any Holder who does not comply with such Holder's obligations in the
last two paragraphs of Section 3 below.

         3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with the registration of any
shares of Restricted Stock under the Securities Act as described in Section 2,
Parent will do the following:

                  (a) prepare and file, as required by Section 2 above, with the
Commission a registration statement with respect to such securities and use its
reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement (i) to become
effective as soon as practicable after the date of its filing with the
Commission and (ii) to remain effective until the earlier of the sale of all
Restricted Stock covered thereby or one year after the Closing Date; provided,
however, that Parent may suspend sales at any time under the registration
statement immediately upon notice to the Holders at the last known address of
the Holders, for a period or periods of time not to exceed in the aggregate 90
days during any 12-month period, if there then exists material, non-public
information relating to Parent which, in the reasonable opinion of Parent, would
not be appropriate for disclosure during that time; provided, that such
suspension shall not apply to any disposition of Restricted Stock pursuant to a
program sale which Parent reasonably determines permits no discretion on the
part of the Holder with respect to such sales;

                  (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for
the period specified in paragraph (a) above;

                  (c) furnish to each seller of Restricted Stock such number of
copies of the registration statement and each such amendment and supplement
thereto (in each case including exhibits) and the prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request
in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Restricted
Stock covered by such registration statement;

                  (d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the
Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement under the securities or
"blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Restricted Stock
reasonably shall request, provided, however, that Parent shall not for any such

<PAGE>   3

                                      -3-

purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

                  (e) prepare and file with Nasdaq an additional listing
application and use its reasonable best efforts to have the Restricted Stock
covered by such registration statement be accepted by Nasdaq for listing on the
Nasdaq National Market;

                  (f) notify each seller of Restricted Stock under such
registration statement (at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act), of the happening of any
event of which Parent has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus
contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to
such seller a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or
amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Restricted
Stock, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing, provided that in no event shall Parent be obligated to file more than
three (3) amendments or supplements to reflect gifts or other non-public
transfers of Restricted Stock so that such shares may be sold under the
prospectus by such donees or transferees; and

                  (g) if the registration pursuant to Section 2 involves an
underwritten public offering (as determined in accordance with the last
paragraph of this Section 3), furnish, at the request of any Holder of
Restricted Stock included in the registration statement pursuant to Section 2 of
this Agreement, on the date that such Restricted Stock is delivered to the
underwriters for sale in such registration, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of
the counsel representing Parent for the purposes of such registration, in form
and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to such Holder, and (ii) a
letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of
Parent, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified
public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed
to the underwriters, if any, and to such Holder (if permitted under applicable
professional standards);

                  (h) notify the Holders participating in such registration,
promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time when such
registration statement has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus
forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

                  (i) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter
into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering.

         In connection with the registration of Restricted Stock hereunder, the
sellers of Restricted Stock will furnish to Parent in writing such information
requested by Parent with respect to themselves and the proposed distribution by
them as shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws.

         Parent and Holders of a majority of the shares then constituting
Restricted Stock may determine, either before or after the initial filing of the
registration statement pursuant to Section 2, that the shares of Restricted
Stock may only be sold pursuant to such registration in an underwritten public

<PAGE>   4

                                      -4-

offering. In that event, Parent will give prompt notice of such decision to each
seller, and afford each seller an opportunity to participate in such
underwritten offering. Parent may set time limits for the sellers to indicate
whether or not they desire to participate in such public offering, and may
require those sellers wishing to participate therein to execute custody
agreements and powers of attorney (which shall include authority to the
attorney-in-fact thereunder to execute an underwriting agreement with respect to
such offering) and other documentation in the form reasonably prescribed by
Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Holders. Upon the filing of a
registration statement for such underwritten offering (or an amendment to a
previously filed registration statement), sellers may only sell Restricted Stock
pursuant to such underwritten offering (or pursuant to an available exemption
from registration). If such underwritten offering is not completed within 75
days from the date of the determination referred to in the first sentence of
this paragraph, then such restriction shall no longer be applicable, and
Parent's obligations under Section 2 hereof shall be reinstated, with a new
registration statement (or amendment) to be filed by Parent as soon as
practicable and in any event within 15 days after the expiration of such 75-day
period.

         4. EXPENSES. All expenses incurred by Parent in connection with
registrations pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, qualification and filing fees, fees and disbursements of counsel
and independent public accountants for Parent, fees and expenses incurred in
connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of
transfer agents and registrars, but excluding any Selling Expenses, are called
"REGISTRATION EXPENSES." All underwriting discounts (if any) and selling
commissions applicable to the sale of Restricted Stock are called "SELLING
EXPENSES." Except as set forth in this paragraph, Parent will pay all
Registration Expenses in connection with the registration statement under
Section 2. All Selling Expenses in connection with the registration statement
under Section 2 and the sale of Restricted Stock thereunder shall be borne by
the participating sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold by each.
The Registration Expenses associated with any amendment or supplement to the
prospectus to reflect a gift or other non-public transfer of shares of
Restricted Stock so that such shares may be sold under the prospectus by the
donee or transferee shall be paid by the seller or sellers which made such gift
or transfer.

         5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

                  (a) In connection with the registration, qualification or
compliance of the Restricted Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Section
2 hereof, Parent will indemnify and hold harmless (i) each seller of such
Restricted Stock thereunder, (ii) to the extent the registration involves an
underwritten public offering as determined in accordance with Section 3, any
underwriter of such Restricted Stock thereunder and (iii) each other person, if
any, who controls such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act, against any expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities,
joint or several, to which such seller, underwriter or controlling person may
become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, state securities laws or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions,
proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or are based upon
(a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained
in the registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 hereof at the time it became
effective under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, offering
circular, or other document (including any related registration statement,
notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, or
compliance), (b) the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances under which they were made or (c) any violation by
Parent or its agents of

<PAGE>   5

                                       -5-

any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or
state securities laws applicable to Parent or its agents and relating to action
or inaction required of Parent in connection with such registration,
qualification or compliance and Parent will reimburse each such seller, each
such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however,
that Parent will not be liable in any such case if any to the extent that (A)
any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, an omission or alleged omission or
a violation or alleged violation so made in conformity with information
furnished in writing by any such seller, any such underwriter or any such
controlling person for inclusion in the registration statement under which such
Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2
hereof or any prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement to
such registration statement or prospectus, or (B) if such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission or violation or alleged
violation was corrected in an amended or supplemented prospectus delivered to
such seller and/or underwriter, as the case may be, and such seller or
underwriter failed to deliver a copy of the amended or supplemented prospectus
at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Restricted Stock to the
person or entity asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case
where such delivery is required by the Securities Act or any state securities
laws.

                  (b) In connection with the registration of the Restricted
Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 hereof, each seller of such
Restricted Stock thereunder, if Restricted Stock held by such Holder are
included in the securities as to which such registrations being effected,
severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each person,
if any, who controls Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act, each
officer of Parent who signs the registration statement, each director of Parent,
each underwriter and each person who controls such underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which Parent or such officer, director,
underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act,
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) the failure of such
seller to comply with the provisions of Section 8 herein, or (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue STATEMENT of any material fact contained in the
registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse Parent and each such officer, director, underwriter and
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, provided, however, that such seller will be liable
hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished by such seller to Parent in writing
and stated to be specifically for use in the registration statement under which
such Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 2 hereof or any prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement to such registration statement or prospectus; and provided, further,
that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 5(b) exceed the gross
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder from the sale of Restricted
Stock.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the

<PAGE>   6

                                      -6-

omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this
Section 5 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such
indemnified party under this Section 5 if and to the extent the indemnifying
party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such claim or action shall be
brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party,
and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume and undertake the defense, the indemnifying party shall
not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with
counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such
action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and if the
interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the
interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right
to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to
participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such
separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be
reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

         No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation,
shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding
itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of
such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

                  (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to
joint liability in any case in which a claim for indemnification is made
pursuant to this Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a
final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration
of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that
this Section 5 provides for indemnification in such case, Parent and each seller
of Restricted Stock will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
proportion to the relative fault of Parent, on the one hand, and each holder,
severally, on the other hand; provided, however, that, in any such case, no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any
person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and;
provided, further, that in no event shall any contribution under this subsection
5(d) on the part of any Holder exceed the gross proceeds received by such Holder
from the sale of Restricted Stock.

the Common Stock by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification or similar event, or through a reorganization or
