         amount, "Excess Taxable Compensation

                                       3
<PAGE>

         Income") the Company shall indemnify Employee for (i) 100% of any
         resulting increase in Income Taxes, (ii) interest, penalties and
         additions with respect to such increase, (iii) reasonable legal,
         accounting and similar fees and expenses incurred by Employee in
         connection with tax contests relating to any such increase in Income
         Taxes, and (iv) any United States, New York State, and, if applicable,
         New York City taxes payable by Employee as a result of payments
         pursuant to this Section 6; provided, however, that the Company shall
         forward to Employee any such amounts attributable to Excess Taxable
         Compensation Income due to the difference between the Compensatory
         Issuance Income Amount and the Reportable Compensatory Issuance Income
         Amount at least five days prior to the date Employee files the
         appropriate United States, New York State, and, if applicable, New York

         shall not be obligated to make any payments or loans under this Section
         6 in excess of $377,629 in the aggregate . Notwithstanding anything to
         the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to any amounts
         paid to Employee pursuant to this Section 6, an amount equal to 20% of
         the Excess Taxable Compensation Income shall be considered to be an
         additional Loan Amount, up to a maximum additional Loan Amount of
         $119,132 (the "Additional Loan Amount"). Accordingly, the Company shall
         not be required to forward to the Employee (or the relevant taxing
         authority) any such amounts unless and until the Employee has executed
         and delivered to the Company a promissory note in the form of Exhibit A
         in a principal amount equal to the Additional Loan Amount.

              (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
         Company shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect to the
         purchase provisions of Section 2 and the indemnification provisions of
         Section 6(a) unless and until the Company has received the requisite
         consents pursuant to (i) that certain credit agreement originally dated
         December 17, 1999 made between, among others, Allied Healthcare Group
         Limited, certain of its subsidiaries as Borrowers and/or Guarantors and
         Barclays Bank PLC as agent and security agent, as amended, stated and
         restated from time to time, (ii) that certain credit agreement

              (a) Employee shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the
         Corporate Group to the extent that any such member is required by law
         to withhold any amount with respect to Employee's Taxable Compensation
         Income, Excess Taxable Compensation Income or any amount paid by the
         Company to Employee under this Agreement; provided that Employee's
         liability under this Section 7(a) shall not exceed the lesser of (i)
         the actual amount paid to Employee pursuant to Section 3 and Section 6
         hereof after subtracting any withholding by any member of the Corporate
         Group pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof, and (ii) the amount owed by
         Employee for Income Taxes after

         Corporate Group and the amount thereof actually paid by Employee.

              (b) The Company or any other member of the Corporate Group may
         withhold from any amount owed or to be paid to Employee under this
         Agreement any amount required by law to be withheld for taxes or
         otherwise, including, without limitation, as a result of the Issuance,
         or such greater amount as may be requested by Employee. Amounts
         withheld by the Company or any other member of the Corporate Group from
         any payment pursuant to Section 3 or Section 6 hereof shall be timely
         paid to the appropriate taxing authority, and such payments shall be
         treated as having been paid to Employee by the Company for purposes of
         this Agreement.

         8. COOPERATION AND EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. Each party hereto agrees to
provide the other party hereto with such cooperation and information as such
other party shall reasonably request in connection with the preparation or
