WHEREAS, Purchaser desires that the Executive enter into employment

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.

(b) "AMR" means American Medical Response, Inc., a Delaware

corporation, and, on the Effective Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of

Purchaser.

(c) "Base Salary" means the salary of record paid to the Executive

as annual salary, and as further indicated in paragraph (a) of Article 4.

(d) "Board" means the Board of Directors of the general partner of

Purchaser unless Purchaser (or its successor) is then a corporation, in

which event it shall mean Purchaser's Board of Directors.

(e) "Cause" means the Executive's:

(i) Willful and continued failure to perform substantially the

Executive's duties with Purchaser or a Subsidiary, which failure is not

cured within 30 days after Purchaser delivers to the Executive written

demand for substantial performance, specifically identifying the manner in

which the Executive has not substantially performed his duties;

(ii) Conviction of an indictable offense; or

(iii) Willfully engaging in illegal conduct or gross

misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to Purchaser or

a Subsidiary.

<PAGE>

For purposes of this paragraph and Article 12, no act or omission by the

Executive shall be considered "willful" unless it is done or omitted in

bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive's action or

omission was in the best interests of Purchaser or a Subsidiary.

(f) "Committee" means the Compensation Committee of the Board or if

there is no Compensation Committee, the Board.

(g) "Effective Date" means the Closing Date (as defined in the Stock

(i) "Executive" means Don S. Harvey.

(j) "15% Internal Rate of Return" means an Investor Return, in cash

or cash equivalent, at least equal to an amount determined by increasing

the amount of the initial investment, and all subsequent direct or

indirect investments by Onex, by the total compounded annual rate of

return of 15%, taking into account for these purposes the exercise of all

options to purchase Units outstanding under the Plan or otherwise

(including, without limitation, options, other equity awards or interests

held by affiliates of Onex and their respective employees), which are then

exercisable or become exercisable as a result of the realization of the

15% Internal Rate of Return. Whether the 15% Internal Rate of Return has

been realized shall be determined by the Board whose decision shall be

final and binding on the Executive. For the avoidance of doubt, a 15%

Internal Rate of Return shall be deemed realized only if the Investor

Return includes both the amount of the investments and the required return

on the investments.

(k) "Investor Return" means the sum of all cash amounts actually

received by Onex, on a cumulative basis through the date of determination,

in the form of cash dividends, other distributions or sale proceeds in

connection with (a) a disposition of all or any part of its Units

calculated based on the actual net proceeds received from the disposition

of such Units, (b) a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets

of Purchaser or a Subsidiary or (c) a recapitalization of Purchaser or any

Subsidiary. Such calculation shall take into account any transaction costs

and fees and shall exclude any management, consulting or other similar

fees received by Onex or its affiliates.

(l) "IPO/Recap" means an initial public offering of the equity of

Purchaser (an "IPO") or a recapitalization of the Purchaser.

all, of Purchaser's consolidated assets, including, without limitation, a

sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Purchaser or any of its

Subsidiaries whose assets constitute all or substantially all of

Purchaser's consolidated assets in any single transaction or series of

related transactions or (ii) any merger or consolidation of Purchaser with

or into another entity unless, after giving effect to such merger or

consolidation, the holders of Purchaser's partnership Units (on a

fully-diluted basis) immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, own

voting securities (on a fully-diluted basis) of the surviving or resulting

corporation or other equity representing a majority of the outstanding

voting power to elect directors of the surviving or resulting corporation

(or the general partner of a surviving partnership) in the same

proportions that they held their Units prior to such merger.

(n) "Onex" means Onex Partners LP.

(o) "Purchaser" means Emergency Medical Services L.P., a limited

partnership organized under the laws of Delaware, and except where the

context requires otherwise, including all affiliates and Subsidiaries of

Purchaser, and any successor thereto.

(p) "Units" means Units of limited partnership interest of

Purchaser.

(q) "Subsidiary" means any corporation that is a subsidiary of

Purchaser, including but not limited to EmCare and AMR.

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

<PAGE>

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

<PAGE>

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
