of this Agreement. Upon expiration of the Employment Period, this Agreement and
the Employee's employment shall terminate with payment on the part of the
Company as provided for in Section 5.2, unless earlier terminated by the parties
in accordance with this Agreement, or unless renewed or extended on mutually
agreeable terms and conditions. For greater certainty, in the event the Company
extends an offer of continued employment on terms and conditions no less
favourable to the Employee as contained in this Agreement (including the
provisions of Section 5.2 herein) and the Employee rejects such offer, then the
Company shall have no payment obligation to the Employee upon expiration of the
Employment Period.
2. Title; Capacity. The Employee shall serve as President of the Company. As
---------------
President, the Employee shall report to the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO")

by way of purchase or sale of assets, merger, liquidation or otherwise, whereby
there is a change in the Company's organizational structure subsequent to which
the Employee may be required to report to another executive responsible for

following:
4.1 Expiration of the Employment Period in accordance with Section 1
unless extended by the mutual agreement of the parties hereto.
4.2 At the election of the Company, for cause, immediately upon written
notice by the Company to the Employee. For the purposes of this Section 4.2,
cause for termination shall mean (a) willful misconduct or gross negligence by
the Employee or willful failure to perform his
-3-
responsibilities in the best interest of the Company (provided, that except in
the case of criminal behaviour, the Employee shall be given at least one written
notice specifying the nature of his misconduct); or (b) the breach of the
Employee of Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement, which breach continues for 30 days
subsequent to written notice from the Company to the Employee of the breach
(unless such breach is material and is not susceptible to cure, in which case
termination shall be deemed to be immediate).
4.3 Upon the death or, at the election of the Company, upon the disability
of the Employee. As used in this Agreement, the term "disability" shall mean the
inability of the Employee, due to a physical or mental disability, for a period
of 90 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 360 day period to perform the
services contemplated under this Agreement. A determination of disability shall
be made by a physician satisfactory to both the Employee and the Company;
provided that if the Employee and the Company do not agree upon a physician, the
Employee and the Company shall each select a physician and these two together
shall select a third physician, whose determination as to disability shall be
binding on all parties;
4.4 At the election of the Employee, upon not less than two months prior
written notice of termination, in which event the Company may waive such notice,
in whole or in part, upon payment to the Employee of salary and benefits
otherwise payable in respect of such two month period.
4.5 At the election of the Company without cause by providing the payments
set out in Sections 5.2, or 5.3 if applicable, below.
5. Effect of Termination.
---------------------
5.1 Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination. In the event the
----------------------------------------------
Employee's employment is terminated for cause pursuant to Section 4.2, or at the
election of the Employee pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company shall pay to the
Employee the compensation and benefits otherwise payable to him under Section
3.1, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 through the last day of his actual employment by the
Company. All amounts due to the Employee will be paid within seven (7) days of
the date on which the employment terminates. For greater certainty, bonuses are
payable and earned at the end of the relevant fiscal year and no bonus (pro rata
or otherwise) will be paid or payable by the Company to the Employee in the
event the Employee's employment is terminated for cause pursuant to Section 4.2,
or in the event the Employee voluntarily resigns his employment.
5.2 Termination Without Cause.
-------------------------
(a) In the event the Employee's employment is terminated at the election
of the Company pursuant to Section 4.5, and in consideration of the Employee
entering into this Agreement and the post-termination non-compete and non-
solicitation agreement set forth in Section 6, the Company shall pay to the
Employee (i) a lump sum amount equal to the base salary payable to him under
Section 3.1 for the remainder of the Employment Period or eighteen (18) months,
whichever is greater, plus (ii) pay the pro-rated portion of Annual Performance
Bonus earned in that calendar year up to the date of termination (which, for the
purposes of this
-4-
Agreement, mean the date the Employee ceases to be actively employed by the
Company without regard to any damages, severance obligations or notice of
termination (statutory, contractual or at common law) plus (iii) in lieu of the
Long Term Performance Bonus for the Employment Period an amount of $300,000,
providing the Company is performing above the NIBT Goal thresholds referenced in
Schedule A devided by Bonus Payments, less any Progress Payments paid in respect
of Long Term Performance Bonus. In the event the Company is performing below the
said NIBT Goal thresholds, then there will be no amount owing or payable in
respect of the Long Term Performance Bonus. For greater certainty, in the event
of cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, no payment, pro-rated or
otherwise, will be payable to the Employee in respect of the "Strategic Bonus".
The payments contemplated in this Section 5.2 include all entitlement to either
notice of termination or pay in lieu of notice and severance pay under the
Employment Standards Act of Ontario. In the event that the minimum statutory
requirements as at the date of termination provide a greater benefit than
provided in this Agreement, such statutory requirements will replace the
payments contemplated under this Agreement. All amounts due to the Employee,
other than any bonuses which shall be paid out in accordance with Section 5.6,
will be paid within fifteen (15) days of the end of the month during which the
employment terminates. In addition to the payments set out herein, the Company
shall, to the extent permitted by its applicable plans and policies, continue
the Employee's basic group health and dental benefits until the earlier of the
date the Employee obtains alternative employment providing health and dental
benefits, or eighteen (18) months from the date of termination. As a condition
of payment, the Employee agrees to deliver to the Company (including affiliates,
subsidiaries, parents and affiliated corporations and their respective
directors, officers and employees) a general release of all claims in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
(b) Prior to the expiry of the Employment Agreement, the parties agree to
negotiate in good faith toward extension of the Agreement. In the event that the
Company is unwilling to extend the Agreement on terms and conditions that are at
least as favourable to the Employee as those provided for herein and the parties
do not otherwise agree on terms and conditions of employment, then the
Employee's employment will be terminated and the Company will pay the Employee
in a lump sum equal to eighteen (18) months base salary payable to him under
Section 3.1 (the "Severance Pay"). In addition to the Severance Pay, provided
the Employee has worked a minimum of three (3) months in the fiscal period in
which the date of termination occurs, he will be paid an amount in lieu of
Annual Performance Bonus, pro-rata to the date of termination, on a basis
similar to that provided for in the expired Agreement. For greater certainty, in
the event of cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, no payment, pro-
rated or otherwise, will be payable to the Employee in respect of the "Strategic
Bonus". In addition to the payments set out herein, the Company shall, to the
extent permitted by its applicable plans and policies, continue the Employee's
basic group health and dental benefits until the earlier of the date the
Employee obtains alternative employment providing health and dental benefits, or
eighteen (18) months from the date of termination. Unless an extension is
otherwise agreed on, the date of termination for this Section 5.2(b) shall be
effective when: (i) the Employee has provided written notice requesting the
Company renew the Agreement on terms at least as favourable as those provided
for in the existing Agreement; and (ii) within fifteen (15) days of receiving
the written notice or the expiration of the Employment Period, the Company and
the Employee have not signed a replacement employment agreement. For greater
certainty, in the event that the Company offers to extend this Agreement or
offers a new employment agreement on terms
-5-
and conditions that are at least as favourable to the Employee as those provided
for herein, and such offer is rejected by the Employee, then the Company shall
have no further payment obligations to the Employee other than payments to the
date of termination except as otherwise specifically set out in this Agreement.
5.3 Termination Following a Change of Control If within twenty-four
-----------------------------------------
(24) months following a "Change of Control" as defined in the Company's 1994
Stock Option Plan, the Employee's employment is terminated without cause or the
Employee terminates his employment in the event his then responsibilities or
conditions of employment, including base salary, fringe benefits (considered in
the aggregate and not individually), bonus targets or opportunities (recognizing
that actual bonus amounts may vary from year-to-year), are reduced or adversely
effected, or if there is a significant relocation of the Employee's principal
place of performing services which relocation is adverse to the Employee, then
the Company will pay to the Employee severance in a lump sum amount equal to two
(2) years' annual base salary together with the Annual Performance Bonus and
Long Term Performance Bonus calculated in the same manner as in Section
5.2(a)(i) and (ii) above. For greater certainty, no payment, prorated or
otherwise, will be payable to the Employee in respect of the "Strategic Bonus".
In addition to the payments set out, the Company shall, to the extent permitted
by its applicable plans and policies, continue the Employee's basic group health
and dental benefits until the earlier of the date the Employee obtains
alternative employment providing health and dental benefits, or twenty-four (24)
months from the date of termination. This Section 5.3 will continue beyond the
end of the Employment Period of this Agreement provided the Employee continues
with the Company as a regular active employee, whether by the extension, renewal
or renegotiation of this Agreement or as an employee at-will. For greater
certainty, in the event this Section 5.3 is applicable, then these provisions
shall be in lieu of and not in addition to the payments and benefits provided
for in Section 5.2. As a condition of payment, the Employee agrees to deliver to
the Company (including affiliates, subsidiaries, parents and affiliated
corporations and their respective directors, officers and employees) a general
release of all claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
5.4 Termination for Death or Disability. If the employment of the
-----------------------------------
Employee is terminated by death or because of disability pursuant to Section
4.3, the Company shall pay to the estate of the Employee or to the Employee, as
the case may be, the compensation which would otherwise be payable to the
Employee through the date of his termination of employment because of death or
disability. In addition, in the event of the Employee's death or disability
during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay the Employee or his estate
within fifteen (15) days after his death or termination due to disability, a
lump sum payment equal to one year's base salary under Section 3.1; plus pay the
pro-rated portion of Annual Performance Bonus earned in that calendar year up to
the date of termination and pay the pro-rated portion of Long Term Performance
Bonus earned up to the date of termination, less any Progress Payments paid in
respect of Long Term Performance Bonus. For greater certainty, no payment,
prorated or otherwise, will be payable to the Employee in respect of the
"Strategic Bonus".
5.5 Options. In the event of a termination pursuant to paragraphs
-------
4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 herein, the Employee shall have the right to exercise
all options of Lifeline Systems, Inc. previously granted that have vested as of
the date of termination (which, for the purposes of this Agreement, shall mean
the date the Employee ceases to be actively employed by the Company
-6-
without regard to any damages, severance obligations or notice of termination
(contractual, statutory or at common law). The Employee ceases to vest any
additional options on such date of termination and the Employee has three (3)
months from such date to exercise any vested options.
5.6 Bonus Payments. In the event that any bonus is payable pursuant to
--------------
Sections 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 herein, then such bonus will be payable within thirty
(30) days after the end of the relevant fiscal year and once the figures
necessary to calculate the applicable bonus payments are available. The Employee
shall be granted such reasonable access he may request to all books and records
of the Company as may be reasonably required with respect to the calculation of
bonus payments for the relevant fiscal year. All bonus amounts shall be deemed
final, binding and conclusive unless, within sixty (60) days of payment by the
Company, the Employee has given written notice to the Company disputing any such
amounts.
5.7 Survival. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 shall survive the
--------
termination of this Agreement.
6. Non-Compete.
-----------
(a) The Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this
Section 6 will not materially or unreasonably interfere with the Employee's
ability to earn a living.
(b) During the Employment Period and for a period of two (2) years after
the date of termination of the Employee's employment (howsoever caused) or
expiration of the Employment Period, the Employee will not directly or
indirectly, within Canada or the United States of America:
(i) as an individual proprietor, partner, stockholder, officer,
employee, director, joint venturer, investor, lender, or in any other capacity
whatsoever (other than as the holder of not more than one (1%) percent of the
total outstanding stock of a publicly held company), engage in the business of
developing, producing, marketing or selling personal and medical emergency
response products and services of the kind or type produced, marketed or sold by
Lifeline Systems, Inc. or by the Company on the date hereof or any other
business engaged in by the Company after the date hereof in which the Employee
has material involvement (collectively, the "Business"); or
(ii) recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee
or employees of the Company to terminate their employment with, or otherwise
cease their relationship with, the Company or to accept any employment or
consulting relationship with the Employee or any third party; or
(iii) solicit for any purpose competitive with the Business of the
Company, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or to take away, the business
or patronage of any of the clients, customers or accounts, or prospective
clients, customers or accounts, of the Company which were contacted, solicited
or served by employees of the Company while the Employee was employed by the
Company.
-7-
(c) If any restriction set forth in this Section 6 is found by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a
period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a
geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period
of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be
enforceable. The parties intend that the restrictions in this Section 6 shall be
deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county of
each and every state of the United States of America and each and every
political subdivision of Canada.
(d) The restrictions contained in this Section 6 are necessary for the
protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the
Employee to be reasonable for such purpose. The Employee agrees that any breach
of this Section 6 will cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and
therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to such other remedies
which may be available, the Company shall have the right to seek specific
performance and injunctive relief.

Lifeline Systems Canada, Inc. and any of their respective affiliates, parents or
subsidiaries.

non-solicitation covenants in Sections 30.02 and 8.03 of that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement among Caretel, the Company and the former stockholders of the
Company dated as of the date hereof (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"). The
Employee agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect any
provision of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including without limitation such
non-competition and non-solicitation covenants. In the event that the non-
competition and non-solicitation covenants in this Agreement would expire before
those in the Stock Purchase Agreement, or vice versa, the Employee acknowledges
his intention that he shall, following the first to expire of such covenants,
continue to be bound until the other of such covenants expire by their terms.
(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement and in particular paragraph
6(b)(i) is intended to restrict the Employee from, directly or indirectly,
engaging in the business of security systems, access control systems or
environmental monitoring or participating in any entity provided that the
activities that compete with the Company are not a significant portion of the
business of the entity and do not become so within the period of restriction.
