NOW THEREFORE, the parties have agreed that the terms and conditions of the relationship shall be as follows: ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS Whenever used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below, and when the meaning is intended, the initial letter of the word is capitalized: (a) "Agreement" means this employment agreement, as amended from time to time.

ARTICLE 2 TERM OF THE AGREEMENT This Agreement will be effective and binding immediately upon its execution, but, anything in this Agreement the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement will not be operative until the Effective Date. The Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of four years unless terminated earlier in accordance with Article 6 hereof. ARTICLE 3 TITLE; COMMENCEMENT OF EMPLOYMENT; REPORTING The Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Operating Officer of EmCare and of EMSC, and, at the request of Purchaser and mutual agreement, as the Chief Operating Officer of any other Subsidiary. The Executive's employment shall commence on the Effective Date. The Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of EMSC. ARTICLE 4 COMPENSATION (a) Unless otherwise provided, all dollar amounts set forth in this Agreement shall be in United States Dollars. The Base Salary of the Executive for his services shall be at the annualized rate of $500,000. The Base Salary shall be payable twice monthly on the 15th business day and last business day of each month. The Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Board annually beginning in the year following the first anniversary of the Effective Date during Purchaser's normal review period. The review will be undertaken by assessing the Executive's achievement of the overall objectives established by the Board in consultation with the CEO and the Executive. (b) The Executive will be eligible to participate in a short term incentive plan. For fiscal years commencing September 1, 2004 and thereafter, the Executive's target bonus under such plan will be 75% of Base Salary (pro-rated for a partial fiscal year, including the first fiscal year in the term). The Executive's right to receive any bonus under such plan shall be determined based upon performance targets for each fiscal year for Purchaser fixed by the Board or the Committee during the first quarter of the year; provided, that in the case of the partial fiscal year beginning on the Effective Date the Executive's right to receive any bonus 3 under such plan shall be based on the achievement of the budget/business plan of EmCare and AMR for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2005 approved by the board of directors of Laidlaw International, Inc. (c) The Executive has agreed to co-invest in Purchaser on the Effective Date, by purchasing the same securities purchased by the initial equity investors at the per Unit price paid by the initial equity investors, in the amount of $500,000. Concurrently with this co-investment by the Executive, and pursuant to an equity option plan (the "Plan") Purchaser will adopt, the Purchaser will grant to the Executive options to purchase one percent (1%) of the Units outstanding on the Effective Date (the "Harvey Options"). For the avoidance of doubt, if the agreed-upon co-investment is not made on the Effective Date, then Purchaser shall have no obligation to grant the Harvey Options. The Harvey Options, if granted, will contain the following terms and will otherwise be subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan: (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price will be the per Unit purchase price paid by the initial equity investors in Purchaser. (ii) Vesting and Exercisability. (I) 50% of the Harvey Options will become vested and exercisable 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the Effective Date without further condition. (II) 50% of the Harvey Options will become vested and exercisable 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the Effective Date; provided, that exercisability is subject to the further condition that Onex has realized a 15% Internal Rate of Return. (III) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (II), upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event in which Onex realizes a 15% Internal Rate of Return, all of the Harvey Options shall become fully vested and exercisable on the occurrence of the Liquidity Event, and the Harvey Options shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if they are not exercised in connection with the Liquidity Event. For the purposes of this clause (III) only, the 15% Internal Rate of Return shall be determined based on (i) cash received by Onex at any time and/or (ii) the fair market value of assets received by Onex at any time (as such fair market value is determined by the Board). Any assets received by the Executive in the Liquidity Event shall be subject to the same restrictions (such as lock-up provisions) to which the assets received by Onex are subject. (IV) On the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, if the Harvey Options referred to in clause (II) have not terminated pursuant to clause (III) and have vested but are not exercisable because Onex has not realized a 15% Internal Rate of Return, then such Harvey Options shall also become exercisable if: (i) Purchaser has met the Cumulative Cash Flow Test, as such term will be defined in the Plan, or (ii) if (x) Purchaser's common stock is publicly traded and listed on a national securities exchange and (y) Onex would have realized a 15% 4 Internal Rate of Return if it had sold its remaining common stock interest in Purchaser at a per share price equal to the weighted average sale price of the Purchaser common stock (as quoted by such national securities exchange) for any 30 consecutive trading days. (iii) Term. For the avoidance of doubt, options that have vested (by acceleration or otherwise) upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event but are not exercisable because Onex has not realized a 15% Internal Rate of Return shall terminate on the occurrence of the Liquidity Event, and be of no further force or effect. The occurrence of an IPO/Recap shall not affect the vesting of the Harvey Options. ARTICLE 5 BENEFITS (a) AUTOMOBILE Purchaser will, or will cause a Subsidiary to, (i) provide the Executive with a monthly allowance of $1,200 for expenses incurred by the Executive for an automobile and (ii) reimburse the Executive for expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the related operating expenses for such automobile, provided that the Executive provides an itemized written account and receipts acceptable to Purchaser.

The vacation shall be taken at the discretion of the Executive with the understanding that the Executive will take into account business needs and operations in scheduling vacation. (d) WELFARE BENEFITS Purchaser shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary to, provide to the Executive welfare benefit coverages (such as medical insurance, dental insurance, short and long-term disability insurance and group term life insurance) in accordance with employee benefit plans and policies maintained by Purchaser or a Subsidiary for the benefit of its employees of Purchaser, and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that Purchaser shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary to, reimburse the Executive for premiums paid by the Executive, if any, for coverage under such employee benefit plans and policies.

(iv) The Executive may terminate employment with Purchaser or any Subsidiary with the right to severance compensation as provided in Article 6(a)(iii)(A) and (B) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control followed by one or more of the following events: (A) Failure to elect or reelect or otherwise to maintain the Executive in the office or position, or a substantially equivalent office or position, of or with Purchaser which the Executive held immediately prior to the Change in Control; 6 (B) (1) A significant adverse change in the nature or scope of the authorities, powers, functions, responsibilities or duties attached to the position with Purchaser which the Executive held immediately prior to the Change in Control, (2) a reduction in the aggregate of the Executive's Base Salary received from Purchaser or the value of the Executive's incentive pay opportunity from Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, or (3) the termination of the Executive's rights to employee benefits or a reduction in the scope or value thereof to a level that is substantially lower in the aggregate from the level in effect at the time of the Change in Control, any of which is not remedied by Purchaser with 10 calendar days after receipt by Purchaser of written notice from the Executive of such change, reduction, or termination, as the case may be; or (C) The liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of Purchaser or transfer of all or substantially all of its business and/or assets, unless the successor or successors (by liquidation, merger, consolidation, reorganization, transfer or otherwise) to which all or substantially all of its business and/or assets have been transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) assumed all duties and obligations of Purchaser. In order to receive the entitlement under paragraphs 6(a)(i) and 6(a)(iii), the Executive must undertake to sign a release in a form satisfactory to Purchaser, fully releasing Purchaser, from further claims upon payment of the amounts stipulated herein.
