10.1. Termination of Employment by the Corporation for Just Cause. Following a
Change of Control, the Corporation may terminate the Employee's employment at
any time without notice or further obligations to the Employee under this
Agreement for reasons of Just Cause. Following a Change of Control the Employee
shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Just Cause unless and until
there has been delivered to the Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by
the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of
the board of directors of the Corporation (excluding the Employee if the
Employee is at the time a director of the Corporation) at a meeting of the board
called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to the Employee),
finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the


                                       10
<PAGE>

Employee's conduct constituted Just Cause and specifying the particulars
thereof. The date on which such resolution is given to the Employee shall be the
effective date of any termination pursuant to this section 10.1.

10.2. Termination by the Employee Without Good Reason. Notwithstanding the
provisions of section 8 hereof, if at any time within six months following a
Change of Control the Employment of the Employee is voluntarily terminated by
the Employee for any reason other than (i) Good Reason, Disability, death, or
Retirement; or (ii) by the Corporation for Just Cause, the Employee shall be
entitled to an amount equal to his annual Salary, less deductions and
withholdings.

10.3. Termination of Employment Without Just Cause or for Good Reason.
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 8 and section 10.2 hereof, if at any
time within 24 months following a Change of Control, the Employee's employment
is terminated, (i) by the Corporation other than for Just Cause; or (ii) by the
Employee for Good Reason, the following provisions shall apply:

10.3.1. the Employee shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay
to the Employee immediately following termination, (i) a cash amount equal to
two times Salary (less any applicable deductions and withholdings); and (ii) the
Employee shall be entitled to receive a cash amount equal to ten percent of the
Employee's Salary in lieu of continued benefit coverage.

10.3.2. if at the date of termination of the Employee's employment, the Employee
holds options for the purchase of shares under a share option plan, all options
so held shall, notwithstanding the terms of the Corporation's share option plan,
(i) immediately vest to the extent they have not already vested at such date;
and (ii) (A) continue to be held on the same terms and conditions as if the
Employee continued to be employed by the Corporation or (B) if the Employee so
elects in writing within 90 days after the date of termination, be purchased by
the Corporation at a cash


                                       11
<PAGE>

purchase price equal to the amount by which the aggregate "fair market value" of
the shares subject to such options exceeds the aggregate option price for such
shares, provided that for this purpose, "fair market value" means the higher of
(i) the average of the closing prices for the shares of the same class of the
Corporation on the principal securities exchange (in terms of volume of trading)
on which such shares are listed at the time of termination for each of the last
10 days prior to such time on which such shares traded on such securities
exchange, and (ii) if the Change of Control involved the purchase and sale of
such shares, the average value of the cash consideration paid to the
shareholders of the Corporation in connection with the transactions resulting in
the Change of Control.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee's employment shall be deemed to
have been terminated following a Change of Control by the Corporation without
Just Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) the Employee's
employment is terminated by the Corporation without Just Cause prior to a Change
of Control and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who
has entered into an agreement with the Corporation or any shareholder of the
Corporation, the consummation of which would constitute a Change of Control;
(ii) the Employee terminates his employment with Good Reason prior to a Change
of Control and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at
the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the
Corporation or any shareholder of the Corporation, the consummation of which
would constitute a Change of Control; or (iii) the Employee's employment is
terminated by the Corporation without Just Cause prior to a Change of Control
and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination is otherwise in
connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control which actually occurs.


                                       12
<PAGE>

For greater certainty, this section 10(3) does not apply in the event of the
termination of the employment of the Employee as a result of death, Disability
or Retirement or by the Corporation for Just Cause or, subject to section 10.2,
by the Employee without Good Reason.

10.4 Limitation on Payments Following a Change in Control

            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any
payment to or for the benefit of the Employee under this Agreement either alone
or together with other payments to or for the benefit of the Employee would
constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), the payments under this
Agreement shall be reduced to the largest amount that will eliminate both the
imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and the
disallowance of deductions to the Company under Section 280G of the Code for any
such payments. The amount and method of any reduction in the payments under this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be as reasonably determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

11. No Obligation to Mitigate

      The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
or Benefits provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor (except as specifically provided herein), shall the amount of any
payment provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by
the Employee as a result of employment by another employer after termination or
otherwise.

use of the Employee's name or any parts thereof by any Person engaged in the

the Employment Period or at the end thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Employee from owning not more
than 5% of the issued shares of a corporation, the shares of which are listed on
a recognized stock exchange or traded in the over the counter market in Canada
or the United States, which carries on a business which is the same as or
substantially similar to or which competes with or would compete with the
business of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.

13. No Solicitation of Patients

      The Employee shall not, either during the Employment Period or the
Restricted Period and for a period of 1 year following the Restricted Period,
directly or indirectly, contact or solicit any patients of the Corporation or

                                       14

patients any products or services which are the same as or substantially similar

of this section, a designated patient means a Person who was a patient of the
Corporation or of any of its Subsidiaries during some part of the Employment
Period.

14. No Solicitation of Employees

      The Employee shall not, either during the Employment Period or the
Restricted Period and for a period of 1 year following the Restricted Period,
directly or indirectly, employ or retain as an independent contractor any
employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or induce or solicit, or
attempt to induce, any such person to leave his/her employment.

15. Confidentiality

      The Employee shall not, either during the Employment Period or at any time
thereafter, directly or indirectly, use or disclose to any Person any
Confidential Information; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall
preclude the Employee from disclosing or using Confidential Information if:

      15.1. the Confidential Information is available to the public or in the
      public domain at the time of such disclosure or use, without breach of
      this Agreement; or

      15.2. disclosure of the Confidential Information is required to be made by

repudiation, by the Corporation of this Agreement.

16. Remedies

Employee of the provisions of any of sections 12 to 15 inclusive will result in
the Corporation and its shareholders suffering irreparable harm which is not
capable of being calculated and which cannot be fully or adequately compensated
by the recovery of damages alone. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that the
Corporation shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief,
specific performance and other equitable remedies, in addition to any other
relief to which the Corporation may become entitled.

                               Bonus Remuneration

Bill Leonard will be eligible to be paid up to 20% of base salary to be paid
annually, on or about September 1st, once fiscal year-end financials have been
finalized, broken down as follows:

      o     10% paid based on the achievement of pre-determined, agreed upon
            individual annual goals. If these goals are not met, this part of
            the bonus will not be payable.

      o     10% paid based on the achievement of pre-determined corporate (TLC)
            annual goals. If these goals are not met, this part of the bonus
            will not be payable.

In special circumstances, where Bill Leonard did not meet his personal
objectives, or the corporation (TLC) did not meet its overall objectives, Bill
Leonard may still be entitled to be paid either the personal or the corporate
component of this bonus plan, at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer.
