EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         Mr. Radlinski - On August 13, 1998, the Company entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Radlinski to assure his continued service to the
Company. The agreement runs for a term of five years, expiring on August 13,
2003. The agreement provides for a base salary of not less that $250,000 per
year, subject to adjustments as authorized by the Board of Directors.

         Mr. Radlinski is also eligible for bonuses based on performance of the
Company's Common Stock. The Common Stock's closing price must attain and remain
at or above various levels, ranging from $11 to $21, for a period of 90
consecutive days. If these breakpoint prices are achieved within a set number of
months, the longest which is 48 months, from the commencement of the contract, a
cash bonus will be paid following the achievement period. Each breakpoint bonus
can be earned separately if achieved within the stated achievement period, but
each bonus can only be awarded once.

         Concurrent with the commencement of this agreement, the exercise prices
of Mr. Radlinski's existing stock options to purchase up to 350,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock from $7.13 to $10.63 were reduced to equal $6.375 per
share, the closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock on the
commencement date as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System. Such option
agreements were amended to provide that they shall become

<PAGE>   5

fully exercisable, regardless of any otherwise applicable vesting requirements,
i) concurrently with any termination of Mr. Radlinski's employment by the
Company without "Good Cause" (as defined), or ii) if there is an acquisition of
substantially all of the Company's assets or business while he is still employed
by the Company and he does not immediately enter into an employment agreement
with a buying or surviving party in the transaction (a "change in control").

         If he is terminated without "Good Cause" or a change of control occurs
within the first three years of the agreement, a severance payment of five times
his then current base salary will be due and payable. If he is terminated
without "Good Cause" or such a change of control occurs within the fourth year
of the agreement, a severance payment of four times his then current base salary
will be due and payable. If he is terminated without "Good Cause" or a change of
control occurs within the fifth year of the agreement, a severance payment of
three times his then current base salary will be due and payable.

         In addition to the preceding paragraph, if Mr. Radlinski is terminated
without Good Cause in the first three years of this agreement, he will become a
consultant to the Company for a period of five years following termination at a
monthly compensation of $16,500 per month. If he is terminated without Good
Cause in the fourth year of this agreement, he will become a consultant to the
Company for a period of four years following termination at the same monthly
compensation. If he is terminated without Good Cause in the fifth year of this
agreement, he will become a consultant to the Company for a period of three
years following termination at the same monthly compensation. The Company,
during the consulting contract, shall provide term life insurance equivalent to
the unpaid amount of the consulting fees as established above, payable to the
beneficiary of his designation.

         Mr. Selawski and Ms. Novotny - On August 13, 1998, the Company entered
into employment agreements with both Mr. Selawski and Ms. Novotny to assure
their continued service to the Company. The agreements run for a term of three
years, expiring on August 13, 2001. The agreements provide for a base salary of
not less that $100,000 per year for Mr. Selawski and $120,000 per year for Ms.
Novotny, subject to adjustments as authorized by the Board of Directors.

         Concurrent with the commencement of these agreements, the exercise
prices of Mr. Selawski's existing stock options to purchase up to 80,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock at from $7.13 to $9.68 were reduced to equal
$6.375 per share, the closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock on
the commencement date as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System. Ms.
Novotny's existing stock options to purchase up to 70,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at from $9.68 to $10.68 were reduced to equal $6.375 per
share, the closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock on the
commencement date as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System. Each such
option agreement was amended to provide that it shall become fully exercisable,
regardless of any otherwise applicable vesting requirements, i) concurrently
with any termination of the officer's employment by the Company without Good
Cause, or ii) if there is an acquisition of substantially all of the Company's
assets or business while such officer is still employed by the Company and he or
she does not immediately enter into an employment agreement with a buying or
surviving party in the transaction. If the officer is terminated without "Good
Cause" or such a change of control occurs within the term of the agreement, a
severance payment of two times his or her then current base salary will be due
and payable.

(1)     The options granted or repriced vest equally over a 60-month period
        commencing upon the original grant date. The first six months after a
        grant does not allow exercise of the option for the then vested shares.
        The options are for a 6-year term, subject to earlier termination in
        certain events related to termination of employment. The option
        exercises may be accelerated if there is a termination of employment or
        an acquisition of substantially all of the Company's assets or business,
        as described under "Employment Agreements" above. The Compensation
        Committee retains discretion, subject to the option plans' limits, to
        modify the terms of outstanding options.

2)      Subject to certain conditions, the exercise price may be paid by
        delivery of already owned shares and the tax withholding obligations
        related to exercise may be paid by offset of the underlying shares.

(1)     The value is calculated based on the difference between the option
        exercise price and the market price for the Company's Common Stock on
        the exercise date, multiplied by the number of shares purchased. For
        this purpose, the surrender or withholding of shares to pay the exercise
        price is not taken into account.

(2)     The closing price for the Company's Common Stock as reported by the
        National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) on December 31, 1998
        was $6.56. Value is calculated on the basis of the difference between
        the option exercise price and $6.56, multiplied by the number of shares
        of Common Stock underlying the option.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

        During 1998 Donald J. Regan and Frank R. Pope served as the members of
the Company's Compensation Committee. Neither such individual is a current or
former officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. During
1998 there were no compensation committee interlocks between the Company and
other entities involving Medstone executive officers serving as directors or
members of compensation or similar committees of such other entities.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

        The Company currently compensates its outside directors, Messrs. Regan,
Tibbitts and Pope, $1,000 per Board meeting for their services, and reimburses
all directors for expenses incurred by them in connection with the Company's
business. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay a total of $150,000 to the
outside directors for their services on the Special Committee of the Board in
1998 and 1999. Of this amount, during 1998 the Company paid Messrs. Pope and
Regan $11,000 each and Mr. Tibbitts $8,000. The Special Committee was formed by
the Company on November 13, 1998 to evaluate strategic alternatives available to
the Company, including potential acquisitions, strategic relationships and sale
of all or part of the Company's business.

        Under the Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan, each new nonemployee
director is automatically granted an option to purchase up to 5,000 shares as of
the effective date of his or her first appointment to the Board or first
election to the Board by the shareholders, whichever is earlier. Subject to
acceleration of the option exercises in the event of certain events specified in
the plan, including certain changes in control based on altered makeups of the
Company's Board or shareholders, each such option becomes exercisable with
respect to 1/60 of the shares issuable for each elapsed full month during the
five-year period after its grant date, but will not be initially exercisable
until six months after the grant date. The exercise price of each option will
equal the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date the
option is granted. Each option will expire six years after its grant, except
that the expiration will be extended until one year after the optionee's death
if it occurs less than one year before the option's expiration date. An option
granted under the plan is not transferrable during the grantee's lifetime and
must be exercised within one year following his or her death, or within 90 days
after the grantee ceases to be a member of the Board for any other reason, and
will only be exercisable to the extent it is exercisable on the date the grantee
leaves the Board. Under this plan, Mr. Regan was granted 5,000 shares in
September 1995 at $11.88 and Mr. Tibbitts was granted 5,000 shares at $8.63 per
share in May 1996. These options were repriced on August 13, 1998 to a price of
$6.375.

        As additional compensation, each current nonemployee director of the
Company has received an option to purchase up to 15,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock. The options issued to Mssrs. Pope, Tibbitts and Regan were issued
in November 1996 and have exercise prices of $6.375 after repricing of the
options on August 13, 1998. The options are exercisable, after six months
following their grant dates, in incremental amounts equal to 1/48 of the
underlying shares for each elapsed calendar month during which the director
remains on the Company's Board. The terms of the options are five years, subject
to earlier termination related to the director no longer serving on the Board.
Additionally, each such director was granted options, on August 13, 1998, for
4,000 shares at an exercise price of $6.375. These options are exercisable,
after six months following their grant dates, in incremental amounts equal to
1/36 of the underlying shares for each elapsed calendar month during which the
director remains on the Company's Board. The term of the options are four years,
subject to early termination related to the director no longer serving on the
Board.

        Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the applicable plan or
agreement provisions, the exercisability of the outstanding options held by the
nonemployee directors will be accelerated, and the options will thereafter
terminate, if there is a reorganization, merger or consolidation as a result of
which the Company is not the surviving corporation or the Company's outstanding
shares are changed into or exchanged for cash, property or securities not of the
Company's issue, or if there is a sale of all or substantially al of the
Company's assets. Such accelerations will not apply if appropriate provision is
made in the transaction for the assumption of such options by, or the
substitution of new options for such options covering the stock of, the
surviving, successor or purchasing corporation or its affiliate.
