A "Non-Control Acquisition" shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this definition, a "Subsidiary"), (ii) the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any Person in connection with a "Non-Control Transaction," as hereinafter defined; -4- 5 (b) The individuals who, as of August 6, 2001 are members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the Board; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company's common stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest") including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or (c) Approval by stockholders of the Company of: (i) A merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company, unless such merger, consolidation or reorganization is a "Non-Control Transaction." A "Non-Control Transaction" shall mean a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company where: (A) the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or reorganization (the "Surviving Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, (B) the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such merger, consolidation or reorganization constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, or a corporation beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the Voting Securities of the Surviving Corporation, and (C) no Person other than (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary, (iii) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company, the Surviving Corporation, or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any Person who, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization had Beneficial Ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities), has Beneficial Ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation's then outstanding voting securities.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the "Subject Person") acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities that increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur. 2.7 For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice that indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement, if any, relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so indicated. Any purported termination by the Company or by you shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination of employment shall be effective without such Notice of Termination. 2.8 For purposes of this Agreement, "Termination Date" shall mean in the case of your death, your date of death, or in all other cases, the date specified in the Notice of Termination subject to the following: (a) If your employment is terminated by the Company due to disability, the date specified in the Notice of Termination shall be at least one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date the Notice of Termination is given to you, provided that in the case of disability you shall not have returned to the full-time performance of your duties during such period of at least one hundred and eighty (180) days; and (b) If your employment is terminated for Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination shall not be more than sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Termination is given to the Company. 2.9 You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment the Company becomes obligated to make to you in connection with this Agreement, by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall any other employment be considered mitigation with respect to any amounts owed to you hereunder. 2.10 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by you as a result of or in connection with a Change in Control, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company (all such payment and benefits being hereinafter called the "Total Payments") would subject you to the excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed -6- 7 under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then, at your written request and to the extent necessary to eliminate any such imposition of the Excise Tax (after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments in accordance with the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement, if any), (a) any non-cash severance payments otherwise payable to you shall first be reduced (if necessary, to zero), and (b) any cash severance payment otherwise payable to you shall next be reduced. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which you shall have effectively waived in writing shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Total Payment shall be taken into account which in the opinion of nationally-recognized tax counsel or certified public accountants (in each case as selected by you) does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, including, without limitation, by reason of Section 280G(b)(2) or (b)(4)(A) of the Code, (iii) any payments to you shall be reduced only to the extent necessary so that the Total Payments (other than those referred to in clauses (i) and (ii)) in their entirety constitute reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of section 280G(4)(B) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to disallowance as deductions, in the opinion of the tax counsel or the accountants referred to in clause (ii); and (iv) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by such accountants in accordance with the requirements of section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code (and such determination shall be reviewed by such tax counsel). 2.11 Upon your written request, the Company shall promptly establish a grantor "rabbi" trust to provide a source of payment for any payments which may become due pursuant to this Section 2. Such trust shall be funded immediately prior to any Change in Control. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 2 shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer after the date of termination of your employment, or otherwise. 3. COMPENSATION. You shall receive the compensation and benefits set forth on Exhibit A hereto ("Compensation") for all services to be rendered by you hereunder. Further, the Company agrees that it will register the shares underlying any stock options that you are granted with the Securities and Exchange Commission (and make all other necessary federal and state filings) immediately following the date of this Agreement. Such registration will be on Form S-1, S-8 or a similar form, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES DURING EMPLOYMENT. 4.1 You hereby agree that, except as disclosed on Exhibit B hereto, during your employment hereunder, you will not, directly or indirectly, engage (a) individually, (b) as an officer, (c) as a director, (d) as an employee, (e) as a consultant, (f) as an advisor, (g) as an agent (whether a salesperson or otherwise), (h) as a broker, or (i) as a partner, coventurer, stockholder or other proprietor owning directly or indirectly more than one percent (1%) interest in any firm, corporation, partnership, trust, association, or other organization that is engaged in the development, marketing or sales of home healthcare services in direct geographical competition with the Company or any other line of business engaged in by the Company (such -7- 8 firm, corporation, partnership, trust, association, or other organization being hereinafter referred to as a "Prohibited Enterprise"). Except as may be shown on Exhibit B hereto, you hereby represent that you are not engaged in any of the foregoing capacities (a) through (i) in any Prohibited Enterprise. 5. FORMER EMPLOYERS. You represent and warrant that your employment by the Company will not conflict with and will not be constrained by any prior or current employment, consulting agreement or other relationship whether oral or written. You represent and warrant that you do not possess confidential information arising out of any such employment, consulting agreement or relationship which, in your best judgment, would be utilized in connection with your employment by the Company. 6. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS. You agree to execute, deliver and be bound by the provisions of the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C. 7. POST-EMPLOYMENT ACTIVITIES. 7.1 For a period of one (1) year (or for a lesser period should the Company so determine) after the termination or expiration of your employment with the Company hereunder (for any reason other than termination by you for Good Reason) absent the Company's prior written approval, you will not directly or indirectly engage in activities similar or reasonably related to those in which you shall have engaged hereunder during the two years immediately preceding termination or expiration for, nor render services similar or reasonably related to those which you shall have rendered hereunder during such two years to, any person or entity whether now existing or hereafter established which directly geographically competes with the Company ("Direct Competitor") in any line of business currently engaged in by the Company. Nor shall you entice, induce or encourage any of the Company's other employees to engage in any activity which, were it done by you, would violate any provision of the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or this Section 7. As used in this Section 7.1, the term "any line of business currently engaged in by the Company" shall be applied as at the date of termination of your employment, or, if later, as at the date of termination of any post-employment consultation. 7.2 No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to preclude you from performing the same services which the Company hereby retains you to perform for any person or entity which is not a Direct Competitor of the Company upon the expiration or termination of your employment (or any post-employment consultation) so long as you do not thereby violate any term of the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. 8. REMEDIES. Your obligations under the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement and the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of your employment (whether through your resignation or otherwise, except as provided in Section 7) with the Company. The Company's obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of your employment. You acknowledge that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach by you of the provisions of the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or Section 7 would be inadequate and -8- 9 you therefore agree that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of any such breach or threatened breach. 9. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company by reorganization, merger or consolidation and any assignee of all or substantially all of its business and properties, but, except as to any such successor or assignee of the Company, neither this Agreement nor any rights or benefits hereunder may be assigned by the Company, except by operation of law and subject to Section 2.5(a)(ix). 10. INTERPRETATION. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT in case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. MOREOVER, IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT in case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law. 11. NOTICES. Any notice which the Company is required to or may desire to give you shall be given by personal delivery or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to you at your address of record with the Company, or at such other place as you may from time to time designate in writing.

If either party should waive any breach of any provision of this Agreement, such party shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 13.

Any amendment to this Agreement or waiver by the Company of any right hereunder shall be effective only if evidenced by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto, upon authorization of the Company's Board of Directors. 14. HEADINGS. The headings of the Sections hereof are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning of this Agreement in any way. -9- 10 15.

PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS; EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS. 5.1 Upon request, I agree to assist the Company or its nominee (at its expense) during and at any time subsequent to my employment in every reasonable way to obtain for its own benefit patents and copyrights for Inventions in any and all countries. Such patents and copyrights shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company or its nominee. I agree to perform such lawful acts as the Company deems to be necessary to allow it to exercise all right, title and interest in and to such patents and copyrights. 5.2 In connection with this Agreement, I agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company or its nominee upon request and at its expense all documents, including assignments of title, patent or copyright applications, assignments of such applications, assignments of patents or copyrights upon issuance, as the Company may determine necessary or desirable to protect the Company's or its nominee's interest in Inventions, and/or to use in C-2 17 obtaining patents or copyrights in any and all countries and to vest title thereto in the Company or its nominee to any of the foregoing. 6. MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions made by me (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flowcharts and other records as may be specified by the Company), which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. 7. PRIOR INVENTIONS. It is understood that all Personal Inventions, if any, whether patented or unpatented, which I made prior to my association with the Company, are excluded from this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Schedule A attached hereto a complete list of all of my prior Personal Inventions, including numbers of all patents and patent applications and a brief description of all unpatented Personal Inventions which are not the property of a previous employer. I represent and covenant that the list is complete and that, if no items are on the list, I have no such prior Personal Inventions. I agree to notify the Company in writing before I make any disclosure or perform any work on behalf of the Company which appears to threaten or conflict with proprietary rights I claim in any Personal Invention. In the event of my failure to give such notice, I agree that I will make no claim against the Company with respect to any such Personal Invention. 8. OTHER OBLIGATIONS. I acknowledge that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or with the U.S. Government or agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding Inventions made during the course of work thereunder or regarding the confidential nature of such work. I agree to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions and to take all action necessary to discharge the Company's obligations. 9. TRADE SECRETS OF OTHERS. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep confidential proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my services to the Company, and I will not disclose to the Company, or induce the Company to use, any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous client, employer or others. I agree not to enter into any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith. 10. MODIFICATION.
