                         -----------------------------

          This is a Pledge Agreement made as of the 5/th/day of April, 2000
between RONALD FEINSTEIN, an individual residing at One Robin Road, Weston,

Massachusetts ("Pledgee").

     1.   Pledge of Collateral.  Pledgor hereby grants Pledgee a security
          --------------------
interest in the shares of Lifeline Systems, Inc. Common Stock ("Shares")
identified in Exhibit A, annexed hereto, which Pledgor has delivered to Pledgee,
as well as such other instruments, documents, stock certificates, money and
goods as may come into Pledgee's possession from time to time, whether through
delivery by Pledgor or otherwise (the "Collateral").

     2.   Obligations Secured.  The security interest in the Collateral granted
          -------------------
hereby secures payment and performance of all debts, loans and liabilities of
Pledgor to Pledgee arising out of a promissory note from Pledgor to Pledgee of
even date herewith in the principal amount of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
($250,000) Dollars (the "Note"), together with all interests, fees, charges and
expenses with respect to such debt, loan or liability (the "Obligations").

     3.   Pledgee's Rights and Duties with Respect to the Collateral. Pledgee's
          ----------------------------------------------------------

secure the safe custody thereof. Pledgee shall have the right but not the
obligation to (a) demand, sue for, receive and collect all money or money
damages payable on account of any Collateral, (b) protect, preserve or assert
any other rights of Pledgor or take any other action with respect to the
Collateral, (c) pay any taxes, liens, assessments, insurance premiums or other
charges pertaining to Collateral. Any expenses incurred by Pledgee under the
preceding sentence shall be paid by Pledgor upon demand, become part of the
Obligations secured by the Collateral and bear interest at the rate provided in

Collateral upon surrendering it to Pledgor.

     4.   Pledgor's Warranties and Indemnity.  Pledgor represents, warrants and
          ----------------------------------
covenants (a)  that he is and will be the lawful owner of the Collateral, (b)
that the Collateral is and will remain free and clear of all liens, encumbrances
and security interests other than the security interest granted by Pledgor
hereunder, and (c)  that Pledgor has the sole right and lawful authority to
pledge the Collateral and otherwise to comply with the provisions hereof.  In
the event that any adverse claim is asserted in respect of the Collateral or any
portion thereof, except such as may result from an act of Pledgee not authorized
hereunder, Pledgor promises and agrees to indemnify Pledgee and hold Pledgee
harmless from and against any losses, liabilities, damages,

expenses, costs and reasonable counsel fees incurred by Pledgee in exercising
any right, power or remedy of Pledgee hereunder or defending, protecting or
enforcing the security interests created hereunder. Any such loss, liability or
expense so incurred shall be paid by Pledgor upon demand, become part of the
Obligations secured by the Collateral and bear interest at the rate provided in
the Note until paid.

     5.   Voting of Collateral.  While Pledgor is not in default hereunder,

payable with respect to Collateral.  Pledgor shall cause all non-cash dividends
and distributions with respect to Collateral to be distributed directly to
Pledgee, to be held by Pledgee as additional Collateral, and if any such
distribution is made to Pledgor he shall receive such distribution in trust for
Pledgee and shall immediately transfer it to Pledgee.
