(i) for the period of five years following the Closing Date in the case of Dennis H. Marsh and the period of three years following the Closing Date in the case of Michael T. Marsh, establish, enter into, be employed by or for, advise, consult with or become an owner in part of, any company, partnership, corporation or other entity or venture that engages in the business of, or in any way engage in the business (for himself or others whether as an officer, director, shareholder, owner, partner, joint venturer, employee, independent contractor, consultant, advisor or representative), of providing ambulance services or pre-hospital care and medical or handicapped transportation, (A) in the case of Dennis H. Marsh, within 100 miles of any location in which the Company, American or any of their respective subsidiaries conducts business as of the Closing Date or (B) in the case of Michael T. Marsh, within 100 miles of any location in which the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) or any other subsidiary of American for which he has served as an employee or provided significant on-site services conducts or has conducted business. (For purposes of this Article 14 the geographic region that applies to Dennis H. Marsh and Michael T. Marsh, as the case may be, is referred to as the “Territory”);

(ii) for a period of five years following the Closing Date in the case of Dennis H. Marsh and the period of three years following the Closing Date in the case of Michael T. Marsh, call upon any person who is, at that time, employed by American or the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective subsidiaries for the purpose or with the intent of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of American or the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries;

(iii) for a period of five years following the Closing Date in the case of Dennis H. Marsh and the period of three years following the Closing Date in the case of Michael T.

Marsh, disclose the Surviving Corporation’s customers, whether in existence or proposed, to any person, firm, partnership, corporation or business for any reason or purpose whatsoever unless otherwise publicly known through no fault of either Stockholder.

Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed to prohibit the Stockholders from acquiring as an investment not more than one percent of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter.

14.2 Damages. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to American and the Company as a result of the breach of the foregoing covenant, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to American and the Company for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Stockholders agree that, in the event of a breach by them of the foregoing covenant, the covenant may be enforced by American or the Company by injunctions and restraining orders.

14.3 Reasonable Restraint. It is agreed by the parties that the foregoing covenants in this Section 14 impose a reasonable restraint on the Stockholders in light of the activities and business of the Company on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the future plans of the Company.

Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

14.5 Independent Covenant. All of the covenants in this Section 14 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Stockholders against the Company or American, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by American or the Company of such covenants. It is specifically agreed that the period of five years stated above, shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Stockholders are in violation of any provision of this Section 14 and any time during which there is pending in any court of competent jurisdiction any action (including any appeal from any judgment) brought by any person, whether or not a party to this Agreement, in which action American or the Company seeks to enforce the agreements and covenants of the Stockholders or in which any person contests the validity of such agreements and covenants or their enforceability or seeks to avoid their performance or enforcement.

The Stockholders agree that they will not use such confidential information for their own benefit or disclose such confidential information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any purpose or reason whatsoever, except to authorized representatives of American, unless such information becomes known to the public generally through no fault of the Stockholders or unless such Stockholders are required by law to disclose such information.

American agrees that without the prior written consent of the Stockholders prior to the Closing and following any termination of this Agreement, it will not use such confidential information other than for the purposes for which it has been provided and will not disclose such confidential information to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity for any purpose or reason whatsoever, unless such information becomes known to the public generally through no fault of American or unless American is required by law or the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange to disclose such information. In the event that American is required to provide such information pursuant to the requirements of applicable law (other than disclosure requirements) it shall notify Dennis H. Marsh, acting on behalf of the Company and the Stockholders, as promptly as possible and shall allow Dennis H. Marsh, acting on behalf of the Company and the Stockholders, the opportunity to oppose such request. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by American of the provisions of this Section, the Stockholders shall be entitled to an injunction restraining American from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing contained herein shill be construed as prohibiting the Stockholders from pursuing any other available remedy for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.

15.3 Damages. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses as a result of the breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that

26

would be caused for which they would have no other adequate remedy, American, Newco, the Company and the Stockholders agree that, in the event of a breach by any of them of the foregoing covenant, the covenant may be enforced against them by injunctions and restraining orders.
