(B)

Options

(1)

Time-In-Service Options.  As additional compensation to Ehrlichman for services to be rendered under this Agreement during the Employment Period, Signalife shall grant or cause to be granted to Ehrlichman effective as of the date of this Agreement ten-year common share purchase options (the “Time-In-Service Options”) entitling him to purchase one million (1,000,000) unregistered or “restricted” Signalife common shares at a price of sixty cents ($.60) per share.  The Time-In-Service Options shall vest in eight quarterly installments based upon continued employment under this Agreement, unless a termination under this Agreement is a Termination by Signalife Without Good Cause, with the first installment vesting on the first quarterly anniversary date; i.e. 90 days, of the Effective Date, and on each quarterly anniversary thereafter.  

(2)

Stock Performance Options.  

(i)

As additional compensation to Ehrlichman for services to be rendered under this Agreement during the Employment Period, Signalife shall grant or cause to be granted to Ehrlichman (upon satisfaction of the following performance requirements) common share purchase options (“Stock Performance Options”) equal to one hundred thousand (100,000) shares at an exercise price of sixty cents ($0.60) per share for every thirty cents ($0.30) of incremental common stock price appreciation over a baseline of sixty cents ($0.60) per share with respect to Signalife’s common stock as reported on the principal stock exchange or market on which Signalife’s common shares trade.  For purposes of determining whether the foregoing thirty cents ($0.30) of incremental common stock price appreciation has occurred (each, an “incremental reference point”), the average closing price for Signalife’s common stock on the principal exchange or market must exceed the aforesaid thirty cents ($0.30) incremental reference point for a two (2) week period.  Under no circumstances shall Ehrlichman receive Stock Performance Options entitling him to purchase more than four million (4,000,000) shares (subject to adjustments for Stock Splits or recapitalizations, each being defined as a “Recapitalization”), such amount constituting a “cap” to the grant of Stock Performance Options.

(ii)

By way of example, assume that Signalife’s average closing price for its common stock as reported on the principal stock exchange or market on which Signalife’s common shares trade increases from sixty-five cents ($0.65) to one dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25) over a two (2) week period.  In that event, Ehrlichman would be granted one set of options (the “First Incremental Option 

-6-

Grant”) to purchase one hundred thousand (100,000) shares at an exercise price of sixty cents ($0.60) per share in connection with attaining the ninety cent ($0.90) incremental reference point (i.e., an average closing price of ninety cent ($0.90) for sixty (60) days), and a second set of options (the “Second Incremental Option Grant”) to purchase an additional one hundred thousand (100,000) shares at an exercise price of sixty cents ($0.60) per share in connection with attaining the one dollar twenty cent ($1.20) incremental reference point (i.e., an average closing price of one dollar twenty cent ($1.20) for sixty (60) days).

(iii)

It should be noted that once an option grant is made in connection with any particular incremental reference point (such as the one dollar twenty cent ($1.20) incremental reference point in connection with the Second Incremental Option Grant), there shall not be a second grant of options in connection with any subsequent attainment of that particular incremental reference point, it being understood that the initial option granted with respect to that particularly incremental reference point shall continue to be deemed grant, subject to exercisability restrictions.

(3)

Financial Performance Options.  As additional compensation to Ehrlichman for services to be rendered under this Agreement during the Employment Period, Signalife shall grant or cause to be granted to Ehrlichman (upon satisfaction of the following performance requirements) ten-year common share purchase options (the “Financial Performance Options”) equal to fifty thousand (50,000) shares for every five hundred thousand ($500,000) dollars of EBIDTA (as that term is defined under GAAP) that Signalife achieves in any of its fiscal years during Ehrlichman’s employment hereunder.  The calculation of EBIDTA and the grant of the options shall be made following the issuance by Signalife of audited financial statements for the fiscal year in question.  Under no circumstances shall Ehrlichman receive Financial Performance Options entitling him to purchase more than six million (6,000,000) shares, subject to adjustment for a Recapitalization, such amount constituting a “cap” to the grant of Financial Performance Options.

(4)

Term Of Options.  Subject to the forfeiture and acceleration provisions contained in section 13(E):  (i) the Time-In-Service Options shall lapse ten years from the Effective Date; and (ii) the Stock Performance Options and Financial Performance Options shall expire upon the later of ten (10) years from the Effective Date or five (5) years from the grant date of each incremental set of options.

(5)

Option Certificates.  The grant of the Time-In-Service Options, Stock Performance Options and Financial Performance Options (collectively, the “Options”) shall each be evidenced by a written common share purchase option agreement or certificate containing such terms as Signalife determines to be appropriate consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(6)

Income Taxes.  The Time-In-Service Options, Stock Performance Options and Financial Performance Options (collectively, the “Options”) shall be considered to be non-qualified and taxable upon exercise under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. income tax purposes, and Signalife shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse Ehrlichman for the income tax consequences of his exercise of the Options or sale of the shares acquired by such exercise.  The exercise of the Options shall be subject to all withholdings or deductions described in section 14 of this Agreement.

(7)

Registration.  No later than six months following the grant of Options under this section 4(B), Signalife shall at its cost file a registration statement with the SEC under SEC form S-8 or any other available SEC registration form to register the common shares underlying the Options, and shall use its best efforts to procure effectiveness of such registration statement. . 

(8)

Principal Exchange Or Market.  The principal exchange or market for Signalife’s

common stock shall be deemed to refer to any United States stock exchange or market upon which Signalife’s common stock is traded (if any), including only (a) the New York Stock Exchange, (b) any NASDAQ stock exchange, (c) any stock exchange owned by either the New York Stock Exchange or any NASDAQ stock exchange, (d) the American Stock Exchange, (e) the OTCBB marketplace or (f) the Pink Sheets.  In the event Signalife’s common stock is trading on more than one of the foregoing stock exchanges or markets, the principal exchange or market shall be deemed to be the exchange or market containing the highest amount of trading volume during the preceding quarter upon which the common share purchase option is measured. 

      (9)

The Board (with Ehrlichman abstaining from voting if he is then a director) may from time-to-time, but not less than one (1) time per year, evaluate Ehrlichman’s performance and, in their sole discretion upon completion of that evaluation, may award Ehrlichman a performance bonus (the “Performance Bonus”) in such amount and form of payment as they may determine in such discretion to be reasonable or appropriate.  In determining whether or not to award a Performance Bonus, the Board may take into consideration other compensation paid or payable to Ehrlichman under this Agreement, as well as the financial and non-financial progress of the business of the company to date and the contributions of Ehrlichman toward that progress.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Signalife shall have the right at its sole discretion, subject to the requirements of any applicable law governing termination that may supercede this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement and Ehrlichman’s employment hereunder at any time in the event of Ehrlichman’s Disability, and Ehrlichman shall be entitled to the benefits provided in section 13 to the extent applicable.

In the event of such termination, Ehrlichman shall be entitled to the benefits provided in section 13 to the extent applicable. Such termination shall not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

ENFORCEMENT

(A)

Governing Law

This Agreement and the rights and remedies of each party arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including, without limitation, equitable remedies) shall (with the exception of any applicable federal laws) be solely governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws (without regard to the conflicts of law principles) of the State of California, as if this Agreement were made, and as if its obligations are to be performed, wholly within the State of California.

(B)

Arbitration

(1)

Any "action or proceeding" (as such term is defined below) arising out of or relating to this Agreement (which shall be deemed to encompass any aspect of the employer-employee relationship between Signalife and Ehrlichman, whether or not specifically addressed or referenced in this Agreement) shall, to the maximum extent allowed by law, be resolved by arbitration (an “Arbitration Proceeding”) before the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration Authority”) located in Los Angeles County, California (the “County”), according to National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association  (the "Rules").  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following shall be considered Controversies for this purpose:  (i) all questions relating to the falsity of any representation or warranty hereunder and/or of the breach of any obligation, covenant, promise, right, provision, term or condition hereunder; (ii) the failure of any party to deny or reject a claim or demand of any other party; and (iii) any question as to whether the right to arbitrate a certain dispute exists.  The term "action or proceeding" is defined as any and all claims, suits, actions, hearings, arbitrations or other similar proceedings, including appeals and petitions therefrom, whether formal or informal, governmental or non-governmental, or civil or criminal, and shall specifically include all claims under applicable federal or state laws, regulations or case law.

(2)

This agreement to arbitrate shall be self-executing without the necessity of filing any action in any court, and shall be specifically enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law. Each party generally and unconditionally accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of the Arbitration Authority as hereinabove provided.  

(3)

The Arbitrator shall apply such principles of law as provided above in section 20(A) 

-21-

of this Agreement relating to application of law, and shall endeavor to decide the controversy as though the Arbitrator were a judge in a court of law.  The Arbitrator shall have the power to issue any award, judgment, decree or order of relief that a court of law or equity could issue under such applicable law including, but not limited to, money damages, specific performance or injunctive relief; and for such purposes it is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement, it being the intention of this sentence to make clear the agreement of the parties hereto that the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable in any Arbitration Proceedings in accordance with principles of equity as well as of law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent any party hereto from moving before a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California for injunctive relief restraining or enjoining violations of this Agreement or of applicable law.

(4)

The Arbitrator shall prepare a written decision, signed by the Arbitrator, that shall be sent to the parties within sixty (60) calendar days following the conclusion of the hearing.  The written statement will be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law which adequately set forth the basis of the Arbitrator’s decision, and which cites the statutes and precedents applied and relied upon in reaching said decision.

(5)

 The parties agree to abide by any award, judgment, decree or order rendered in any Arbitration Proceeding by the Arbitrator.  The award, judgment, decree or order of the Arbitrator, and the findings of the Arbitrator, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto to the extent and in the manner provided by California statute.  Any judgment upon the award and enforcement of any other judgment, decree or order of relief granted by the Arbitrator may be entered or obtained in any court of competent jurisdiction, state or federal, in the county in which the residence or principal office of a non-prevailing party is located, as a basis for judgment and for the issuance of execution for its collection and, at the election of the party making such filing, with the clerk of one or more other courts, state or federal, having jurisdiction over the party against whom such an award is rendered, or such party’s property.  The parties shall have the right to petition the Superior Court of the appropriate County to confirm, correct or vacate the Arbitrator’s award in accordance with the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure.  

(6)

EACH PARTY HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THIS SECTION 20(B) AND FURTHER UNDERSTANDS THAT, BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREEING TO SUBMIT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES TO BINDING ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED ABOVE, SUCH PARY IS RELINQUISHING AND WAIVING HIS OR HER RIGHT TO SUBMIT SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES RELATING TO ANY ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS, TO A COURT OF LAW, INCLUDING A JURY TRIAL.  Each party acknowledges that the inclusion of this arbitration provision and the concomitant waiver and relinquishment of the right to submit to a court of law any claims and disputes relating to the employer-employee relationship is a material inducement to each other party hereto to enter into the transaction contemplated hereby; that each other party has already relied upon this waiver in entering into this Agreement; and that each other party will continue to rely on this waiver in their future dealings.  Each party warrants and represents that such party has reviewed this waiver with such party’s legal counsel, and that such party has knowingly and voluntarily waived its trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel.

Options

Time-In-Service Options.  As additional compensation to Perkins for services to be rendered under this Agreement during the Employment Period, Signalife shall grant or cause to be granted to Perkins effective as of the date of this Agreement ten-year common share purchase options (the “Time-In-Service Options”) entitling him to purchase five hundred thousand (500,000) unregistered or “restricted” Signalife common shares (subject to adjustments for Stock Splits or recapitalizations, each being defined as a “Recapitalization”), at a price of sixty cents ($.60) per share.

Stock Performance Options.

As additional compensation to Perkins for services to be rendered under this Agreement during the Employment Period, Signalife shall grant or cause to be granted to Perkins (upon satisfaction of the following performance requirements) common share purchase options (“Stock Performance Options”) equal to fifty thousand (50,000) shares at an exercise price of sixty cents ($0.60) per share for every thirty cents ($0.30) of incremental common stock price appreciation over a baseline of sixty cents ($0.60) per share with respect to Signalife’s common stock as reported on the principal stock exchange or market on which Signalife’s common shares trade.  For purposes of determining whether the foregoing thirty cents ($0.30) of incremental common stock price appreciation has occurred (each, an “incremental reference point”), the average closing price for Signalife’s common stock on the principal exchange or market must exceed the aforesaid thirty cents ($0.30) incremental reference point for a two (2) week period.  Under no circumstances shall Perkins receive Stock Performance Options entitling him to purchase more than one million (1,000,000) shares (subject to adjustment for a Recapitalization), such amount constituting a “cap” to the grant of Stock Performance Options.

(iii)

It should be noted that once an option grant is made in connection with any particular incremental reference point (such as the one dollar twenty cent ($1.20) incremental reference point in connection with the Second Incremental Option Grant), there shall not be a second grant of options in connection with any subsequent attainment of that particular incremental reference point, it being understood that the initial option granted with respect to that particularly incremental reference 

-6-

point shall continue to be deemed grant, subject to exercisability restrictions.

(3)

Financial Performance Options.  As additional compensation to Perkins for services to be rendered under this Agreement during the Employment Period, Signalife shall grant or cause to be granted to Perkins (upon satisfaction of the following performance requirements) ten-year common share purchase options (the “Financial Performance Options”) equal to fifty thousand (50,000) shares for every five hundred thousand ($500,000) dollars of EBIDTA (as that term is defined under GAAP) that Signalife achieves in any of its fiscal years during Perkins’s employment hereunder.  The calculation of EBIDTA and the grant of the options shall be made following the issuance by Signalife of audited financial statements for the fiscal year in question.  Under no circumstances shall Perkins receive Financial Performance Options entitling him to purchase more than one million (1,000,000) shares, subject to adjustment for a Recapitalization, such amount constituting a “cap” to the grant of Financial Performance Options.

Option Certificates.  The grant of the Time-In-Service Options, Stock Performance Options and Financial Performance Options (collectively, the “Options”) shall each be evidenced by a written common share purchase option agreement or certificate containing such terms as Signalife determines to be appropriate consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(6)

Income Taxes.  The Time-In-Service Options, Stock Performance Options and Financial Performance Options (collectively, the “Options”) shall be considered to be non-qualified and taxable upon exercise under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. income tax purposes, and Signalife shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse Perkins for the income tax consequences of his exercise of the Options or sale of the shares acquired by such exercise.  The exercise of the Options shall be subject to all withholdings or deductions described in section 14 of this Agreement.

(7)

Registration.  No later than six months following the grant of Options under this section 4(B), Signalife shall at its cost file a registration statement with the SEC under SEC form S-8 or any other available SEC registration form to register the common shares underlying the Options, and shall use its best efforts to procure effectiveness of such registration statement. .

(B)

Arbitration

(1)

Any "action or proceeding" (as such term is defined below) arising out of or relating to this Agreement (which shall be deemed to encompass any aspect of the employer-employee relationship between Signalife and Perkins, whether or not specifically addressed or referenced in this Agreement) shall, to the maximum extent allowed by law, be resolved by arbitration (an “Arbitration Proceeding”) before the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration Authority”) located in Los Angeles County, California (the “County”), according to National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association  (the "Rules").  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following shall be considered Controversies for this purpose:  (i) all questions relating to the falsity of any representation or warranty hereunder and/or of the breach of any obligation, covenant, promise, right, provision, term or condition hereunder; (ii) the failure of any party to deny or reject a claim or demand of any other party; and (iii) any question as to whether the right to arbitrate a certain dispute exists.  The term "action or proceeding" is defined as any and all claims, suits, actions, hearings, arbitrations or other similar proceedings, including appeals and petitions therefrom, 

-19-

whether formal or informal, governmental or non-governmental, or civil or criminal, and shall specifically include all claims under applicable federal or state laws, regulations or case law.

This agreement to arbitrate shall be self-executing without the necessity of filing any action in any court, and shall be specifically enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law. Each party generally and unconditionally accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of the Arbitration Authority as hereinabove provided.  

(3)

The Arbitrator shall apply such principles of law as provided above in section 20(A) of this Agreement relating to application of law, and shall endeavor to decide the controversy as though the Arbitrator were a judge in a court of law.  The Arbitrator shall have the power to issue any award, judgment, decree or order of relief that a court of law or equity could issue under such applicable law including, but not limited to, money damages, specific performance or injunctive relief; and for such purposes it is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement, it being the intention of this sentence to make clear the agreement of the parties hereto that the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable in any Arbitration Proceedings in accordance with principles of equity as well as of law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent any party hereto from moving before a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California for injunctive relief restraining or enjoining violations of this Agreement or of applicable law.

(4)

The Arbitrator shall prepare a written decision, signed by the Arbitrator, that shall be sent to the parties within sixty (60) calendar days following the conclusion of the hearing.  The written statement will be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law which adequately set forth the basis of the Arbitrator’s decision, and which cites the statutes and precedents applied and relied upon in reaching said decision.

(5)

 The parties agree to abide by any award, judgment, decree or order rendered in any Arbitration Proceeding by the Arbitrator.  The award, judgment, decree or order of the Arbitrator, and the findings of the Arbitrator, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto to the extent and in the manner provided by California statute.  Any judgment upon the award and enforcement of any other judgment, decree or order of relief granted by the Arbitrator may be entered or obtained in any court of competent jurisdiction, state or federal, in the county in which the residence or principal office of a non-prevailing party is located, as a basis for judgment and for the issuance of execution for its collection and, at the election of the party making such filing, with the clerk of one or more other courts, state or federal, having jurisdiction over the party against whom such an award is rendered, or such party’s property.

ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

(A)

Assignment or Delegation

Neither party (an “assigning party”) may directly or indirectly sell, license, transfer or assign (whether through a merger, consolidation, conversion, sale of assets, sale or exchange of securities, or by operation of law, or otherwise) any of such party’s rights or interests under this Agreement, or delegate any of such party’s duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, including to any subsidiary or to any affiliate, without the prior written consent of the other party (a “consenting party”), which consent may be withheld in the consenting party’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however:

(1)

subject to prior compliance with subsection (3) and subsection (4) below, an assigning party may assign all of the rights and interests and delegate all of the duties and obligations of the assigning party under this Agreement in connection with a transaction whose principal purpose is to change the State in which the assigning party is incorporated, or to form a holding company, or to effect a similar reorganization as to form of entity without change of beneficial ownership, including through:  (1) a merger or consolidation or stock exchange or divisive reorganization (i.e., spin-off, split-off or split-up) or other reorganization with respect to the assigning party and/or its stockholders; or (2) the sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition by the assigning party of its assets in a single or series of related transactions, so long as such transferee, purchaser or surviving person shall expressly assume such obligations of the assigning party;

(2)

subject to subsection (3) and subsection (4) below, an assigning party may, with the prior written consent of the consenting party, which consent the consenting party may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, assign all of the rights and interests and delegate all of the duties and obligations of the assigning party under this Agreement to any other person in connection with the transfer or sale of the entire business of the assigning party (other than with respect to a sale described in subsection (1) above), or the merger or consolidation of the assigning party with or into any other person (other than with respect to a merger or consolidation described in subsection (1) above), so long as such transferee, purchaser or surviving person shall expressly assume such obligations of the assigning party;

(3)

notwithstanding anything in subsection (1) or subsection (2) above to the contrary, no assignment or transfer under subsection (1) or subsection (2) may be effectuated unless the proposed transferee or assignee first executes such agreements (including a restated employment agreement) in such form as the consenting party may deem reasonably satisfactory to:  (1) evidence the assumption by the proposed transferee or assignee of the obligations of the assigning party; and (2) to ensure that the consenting party continues to receive such rights, benefits and protections (both legal and economic) as were contemplated by the consenting party when entering into this Agreement; and 

(4)

notwithstanding anything in subsection (1) or subsection (2) above to the contrary:  (1) any assumption by a successor or assign under subsection (1) or subsection (2) above shall in no way release the assigning party from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; and (2) and any merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale or conveyance under subsection (1) or subsection (2) above shall not be deemed to abrogate the rights of the consenting party elsewhere 

-21-

contained in this Agreement.

Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of the terms of this subsection (2) shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect, and shall vest no rights or interests in the purported assignee or transferee.  

(B)

Successors and Assigns

Subject to section 21(A) above, each and every representation, warranty, covenant, condition and provision of this Agreement as it relates to each party hereto shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of such party and his, her or its respective successors and permitted assigns, spouses, heirs, executors, administrators and personal and legal representatives, including any successor (whether direct or indirect, or by merger, consolidation, conversion, purchase of assets, purchase of securities or otherwise).
