                                  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.

            (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,

      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

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

      fees received by Onex or its affiliates.

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

 

            (m) "Liquidity Event" means (i) the sale of all, or substantially

      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

 

                                        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
