device tentatively called the "SafeHeart."

                   Some of the key features of this Device are:

                   a)   The Device will have a communication link to medical
                        professionals at a central monitoring station.

                   b)   This link will be provided by communications
                        technology such as conventional phone line,
                        cellular phone, wireless connection, Internet
                        connection, etc.

                   c)   The Device will have monitoring features, such as
                        monitoring ECG.

                   d)   The Device will have at least one therapeutic
                        modality for cardiac assistance, such as
                        defibrillation, external pacing, etc.

     It is understood that the final Device to be designed and developed
will deviate from the Device currently contemplated by Employee because of input
from various sources during the design process. It is possible that Company may
embark on the development of such a Device in the future.

     It is agreed that Employee and Company will negotiate in good faith to
execute an agreement ("SafeHeart Agreement") that will compensate Employee in
the event Company pursues the development of a device with the aforementioned
features. This SafeHeart Agreement, to be finalized later, shall provide for
royalty payments to Employee from the sale of devices, accessories and services
related to the Device, with minimum annual payments, in an amount to be
determined in the SafeHeart Agreement.

     It is understood that currently Employee has not filed patents covering
this concept. If patent (s) is (are) filed covering this concept, the patent (s)
will be assigned to Employee, until such time as the SafeHeart Agreement is
finalized.

            6.4    This Section 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
