           4.     Compensation.

                  4.01    BASE SALARY. As base compensation for all services to
           be rendered by Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay
           to Executive an annualized salary of $260,000. Executive's salary
           shall be paid in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
           procedures and policies, as such procedures and policies may be
           modified from time to time.

                  4.02    BONUS. Executive's entitlement to a bonus, if any,

                  4.03    PARTICIPATION IN BENEFITS. During Executive's
           employment with the Company, Executive shall be entitled to
           participate in the employee benefits offered generally by the Company
           to its employees, to the extent that Executive's position, tenure,
           salary, health, and other qualifications make Executive eligible to
           participate. Executive's participation in such benefits shall be
           subject to the terms of the applicable plans, as the same may be
           amended from time to time. The Company does not guarantee the
           adoption or continuance of any particular employee benefit during
           Executive's employment, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to,
           or shall in any way restrict the right of the Company, to amend,
           modify or terminate any of its benefits during Executive's
           employment.

                  4.04 EXPENSES. In accordance with the Company's normal
           policies for expense reimbursement, the Company will reimburse

           Agreement, subject to the presentment of receipts or other
           documentation acceptable to the Company.

           5.     OTHER EMPLOYMENT POLICIES. Executive shall comply with all of
the applicable policies generally in effect for employees of the Company.

           6. TERMINATION.

                  6.01    TERMINATION DUE TO EXECUTIVE'S DEATH OR DISABILITY.
           Executive's employment shall terminate automatically in the event of
           Executive's death or Executive's disability which results in
           Executive's inability to perform the essential functions of
           Executive's position, with or without reasonable accommodation,
           provided Executive has exhausted Executive's entitlement to any
           applicable leave, if Executive desires to take and satisfies all
           eligibility requirements for such leave.

                  6.02    TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY WITH CAUSE. Executive's
           employment shall terminate immediately in the event the Company shall
           determine, in its sole discretion, that there is "cause" to terminate
           Executive's employment, which shall include any of the following:

                          (i)    Repeated violations by Executive of any of his
                  duties or his repeated failures or omissions to carry out
                  lawful and reasonable orders which, in the reasonable judgment
                  of the Company, are willful and deliberate and which are


                                       2

<PAGE>

                  not cured within a reasonable period after Executive's receipt
                  of written notice thereof from the Company;

                          (ii)   Any act or acts of personal dishonesty by
                  Executive which are intended to result in the personal
                  enrichment of Executive at the expense of the Company;

                          (iii) Any willful and deliberate misconduct that is
                  materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company; or

                          (iv) Any criminal indictment, presentment, or
                  conviction for a felony, whether or not the Company is the
                  victim of such offense.


                  6.03    TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE. The Company
           may terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, and
           without notice, as outlined in Section 6.06 below.

                  6.04    TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE. Executive may terminate his
           employment at any time by giving 60 days' written notice thereof to
           Employer's Board of Directors. Upon notice of termination by
           Executive, the Company may at its option elect to have Executive
           cease to provide services immediately, provided that during such
           60-day notice period Executive shall be entitled to earn and be paid
           his base salary, as described in Section 4.01.


                 6.05     TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY OR EXECUTIVE IN CONNECTION
           WITH A CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a termination of Executive
           in connection with a Change in Control, as that term is defined in
           the Change in Control Agreement, the rights and responsibilities of
           the Company and Executive shall be governed solely by the terms of
           the Change in Control Agreement and this Agreement shall be of no
           further force or effect. In the event of a termination of Executive
           by the Company which occurs more than twelve (12) months after a
           Change in Control as that term is defined in the Change in Control
           Agreement, this Agreement shall govern the parties rights and
           obligations in connection with the termination of Executive. The rest
           of this Section 6.05 notwithstanding, Executive shall have continuing
           obligations as set forth in Section 6.07.

                  6.06    EFFECT OF AND COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION.
           Notwithstanding any termination of Executive's employment with the
           Company, in the event of termination under this Agreement, Executive,
           in consideration of Executive's employment hereunder to the date of
           such termination, shall remain bound by the provisions of this
           Agreement which specifically relate to periods, activities or
           obligations upon or subsequent to the termination of Executive's
           employment.

                  In addition, in the event that Executive's employment
           terminates due to Executive's death or disability, or the Company
           terminates Executive's employment in accordance with Section 6.02, or
           Executive terminates his employment under Section 6.04, Executive
           shall not be entitled to receive any further compensation under the
           provisions of this Agreement after the date of such termination,
           subject to applicable law.


                                       3

<PAGE>

                  If the Company terminates Executive's employment under
           Section 6.03, Executive will receive salary continuation consisting
           of Executive's base salary as of the date of termination, payable on
           normal payroll periods, for the shorter of: (1) eighteen months or
           (2) until he accepts a position of comparable employment for another
           employer ("Salary Continuation"). Executive shall only be entitled to
           such Salary Continuation if Executive signs a comprehensive release
           of claims in a form acceptable to the Company. If Executive does not
           sign such a release or if it is signed, but then rescinded, Executive
           shall not be entitled to any further compensation from the Company,
           except that Executive shall be paid amounts due to him for salary as
           of the date of termination and Executive will be paid, on a pro rata
           basis, any bonus to which he was entitled as of the date of
           termination. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated
           without cause under circumstances governed by the Change in Control
           Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation under
           this Agreement, and specifically under this Section 6.06, beyond the
           payment of salary and a pro rata payment of his bonus, if any, earned
           up to the date of termination.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, should
           Executive's employment be terminated for any reason, he will not earn
           and will have no right to receive any compensation except as
           expressly provided in this Agreement or the Change in Control
           Agreement, or in the terms and conditions of the Company's
           compensation plan or program referenced herein; under no
           circumstances shall Executive be entitled to compensation under this
           Agreement if he is entitled to compensation under the Change in
           Control Agreement.

                  6.07    SURRENDER OF RECORDS AND PROPERTY. Upon termination of
           Executive's employment with the Company, Executive shall deliver
           promptly to the Company all records, manuals, books, blank forms,
           documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, computer
           disks, computer software, computer programs (including source code,
           object code, on-line files, documentation, testing materials and
           plans and reports) designs, drawings, formulae, data, tables or
           calculations or copies thereof, which are the property of the Company
           or which relate in any way to the business, products, practices or
           techniques of the Company and all other property, trade secrets and
           confidential information of the Company , including, but not limited
           to, all tangible, written, graphical, machine readable and other
           materials (including all copies) which in whole or in part contain
           any trade secrets or confidential information of the Company which in
           any of these cases are in Executive's possession or under Executive's
           control.

           7.     NON-COMPETE.

                  7.01    AGREEMENT CONCERNING NON-COMPETITION. Executive
           acknowledges that the Company needs to be protected against the
           potential for unfair competition and impairment of the Company's
           goodwill by Executive's use of the Company's training, assistance,
           and trade secret, confidential, and proprietary information in direct
           competition with the Company. Executive therefore covenants and
           agrees that, while Executive is employed with the Company, and for a
           period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Executive's
           employment with the Company for any reason, whether occasioned by
           Executive or the Company, Executive will not, directly or


                                       4

<PAGE>

           indirectly, engage in any business activity, in any part of the
           world, either on Executive's own behalf or as an investor, owner,
           adviser, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder,
           employee, limited liability company member, licensor, licensee,
           consultant, member of any association or in any capacity which calls
           for rendering of services, advice, acts of management, operation or
           control, which is the same as, similar to, or competitive with any
           business of the Company or which is engaged in the development,
           design, manufacture, production, assembly, marketing, or sale of
           products intended to compete with business of the Company. Without
           limiting the generality of the foregoing, "the business of the
           Company" means the design, manufacture, and sale of diagnostic
           equipment and disposables for the diagnosis of complex arrhythmia,
           and any other business that has been or subsequently is conducted
           during Executive's employment with the Company. In the event that
           Executive receives Salary Continuation, pursuant to Section 6.06, for
           a period in excess of twelve (12) months but no greater than eighteen
           (18) months ("Additional Period"), Executive shall abide by the terms
           of this Section 7 for any such Additional Period. Further, the
           Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay Executive Salary
           Continuation for any and all of the Additional Period up to eighteen
           (18) months and Executive shall abide by the terms of this Section 7
           for any portion of the Additional Period for which he receives Salary
           Continuation.

                  7.02    LIMITATION ON RESTRICTIONS AND AGREEMENTS. Ownership
           by Executive of any securities now owned by Executive, or Executive's
           future ownership, as a passive investment, of less than 1% of the
           outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation listed on a
           national securities exchange or publicly traded on any nationally
           recognized over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of
           Section 7.01 of this Agreement.

                  7.03    DISCLOSURE OF AGREEMENT. If Executive seeks employment
           with another employer or organization while Executive is employed by
           the Company or during the period of time for which is bound by
           Section 7.01 following the termination of Executive's employment with
           the Company for any reason (whether occasioned by Executive or the
           Company), Executive will inform any potential future employer and any
           organization that may retain Executive for any purpose, prior to
           accepting any new employment or other engagement, of the existence of
           this Agreement and will provide such employer or organization with a
           copy of this Agreement.

           8.     MISCELLANEOUS.

                  8.01    GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE SELECTION. This Agreement is
           made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
           the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to conflicts of
           laws principles thereof, of any of the United States of America, or
           of any other country or province thereof. The parties agree that any
           litigation in any way relating to this Agreement or to Executive's
           employment by the Company, including but not limited to the
           termination of this Agreement or of Executive's employment, will be
           venued in the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County District Court, or
           the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.
           Executive and the Company hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction
           of these courts and waive any objection that such venue is
           inconvenient or improper.

                  8.02    PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement (including other
           agreements specifically mentioned in this Agreement), the Proprietary
           Information Agreement and the Change in Control Agreement contain the
           entire agreement of the parties relating to the employment of
           Executive by the Company and the other matters discussed herein and
           supersedes all prior promises, contracts, agreements and
           understandings of any kind, whether express or implied, oral or
           written, with respect to such subject matter (including, but not
           limited to, any promise, contract or understanding, whether express
           or implied, oral or written, by and between the Company and
           Executive), and the parties hereto have made no agreements,
           representations or warranties relating to the subject matter of this
           Agreement which are not set forth herein or in the other agreements
           mentioned herein.

                  8.03    WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Company, as applicable, may
           take such action as it deems appropriate to insure that all
           applicable federal, state, city and other payroll, withholding,
           income or other taxes ("Taxes") arising from any compensation,
           benefits or any other payments made pursuant to this Agreement, or
           any other contract, agreement or understanding which relates, in
           whole or in part, to Executive's employment with the Company, are
           withheld or collected from Executive. In connection with the
           foregoing, Executive agrees to notify the Company promptly upon
           entering into any contract, agreement or understanding relating to
           Executive's employment with the Company (other than this Agreement
           and those agreements expressly provided for herein) and also to
           notify the Company promptly of any payments or benefits paid or
           otherwise made available pursuant to any such agreements.

                  8.04    AMENDMENTS. No amendment or modification of this
           Agreement shall be deemed effective unless made in writing and signed
           by Executive and the Company.

                  8.05    NO WAIVER. No term or condition of this Agreement
           shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel
           to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, except by a statement in
           writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver or
           estoppel is sought. Any written waiver shall not be deemed a
           continuing waiver unless specifically stated, shall operate only as
           to the specific term or condition waived, and shall not constitute a
           waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act
           other than as specifically set forth in the waiver.

                  8.06    ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assignable,
           in whole or in part, by any party without the written consent of the
           other party, except that the Company may, without the consent of
           Executive, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to
           any corporation, firm or other business entity with or into which the
           Company may merge or consolidate, or to which the Company may sell or
           transfer all or substantially all of its assets, or of which 50% or
           more of the equity investment and of the voting control is owned,
           directly or indirectly, by, or is under common ownership with, the
           Company. After any such assignment by the Company, the Company shall
           be discharged from all further liability hereunder and such assignee
           shall thereafter be deemed to be the Company for the purposes of all
           provisions of this Agreement including this Section 8.06.

                  8.07    INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Executive acknowledges and agrees
           that the services to be rendered by Executive hereunder are of a
           special, unique and extraordinary character,


                                       6

<PAGE>

           that it would be difficult to replace such services and that any
           violation of Sections 5, 6.06 or 7 hereof would be highly injurious
           to the Company, and that it would be extremely difficult to
           compensate the Company fully for damages for any such violation.
           Executive further agrees that the provisions of sections 5, 6.06 and
           7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business
           interests of the Company. Executive specifically agrees that the
           Company, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive
           relief to enforce the provisions of Sections 5, 6.06 and 7 and that
           such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual
           damages and without necessity of posting any bond. This provision
           with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the
           right of the Company to claim and recover damages, or to seek and
           obtain any other relief available to it at law or in equity, in
           addition to injunctive relief.

                  8.08    SEVERABILITY. To the extent any provision of this
           Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such
