Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On December 31, 2007, American Medical Alert Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a stock purchase agreement with Mr. Frederic Siegel (the “Siegel Stock Purchase Agreement”). The stock grants contemplated by the Siegel Stock Purchase Agreement were made pursuant to the employment agreement, commencing as of January 1, 2007, between Mr. Siegel and the Company (the “Employment Agreement”), which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K that was filed on May 30, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the Siegel Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Siegel was granted 22,000 shares of restricted common stock subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company. The Company has the right to repurchase the shares for $.01 per share if Mr. Siegel ceases to be employed by the Company. The repurchase right lapses with respect to 5,500 shares on each of December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, subject to the condition that Mr. Siegel remains employed by the Company on each such applicable date; provided, however, that, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), if the Company or its successor pursuant to such change in control, as applicable, and Mr. Siegel either agree to continue the Employment Agreement or to enter into a new employment agreement mutually acceptable to the Company or its successor, as applicable, and Mr. Siegel in lieu of the Employment Agreement, then any such remaining unvested shares shall vest immediately upon the mutual agreement of the Company or its successor and Mr. Siegel to continue the Employment Agreement or to enter into a new employment agreement.

In addition, Mr. Siegel will be granted the following bonus compensation stock grants: (i) up to 12,000 shares of common stock based on the earnings before deduction of interest and taxes ("EBIT") of the Company’s Health and Safety Monitoring Systems segment (“HSMS”), as set forth in the Company's audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year, meeting or exceeding the HSMS EBIT performance goals set forth below as (A); and (ii) up to 34,000 shares of common stock, based on the EBIT of the Company, as set forth in the Company's audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year, meeting or exceeding the EBIT performance goals set forth below as (B). In connection with clause (i) herein, the Company and Mr. Siegel have agreed that the HSMS EBIT targets were determined on the basis of the Company’s method of calculating EBIT by segment for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (such method of calculating, the “2005 Methodology”) and that, if the Company changes its method of calculating its EBIT by segment, the Company shall determine whether (a) to use the 2005 Methodology and the HSMS EBIT targets set forth herein in connection with the stock grants contemplated hereby or (b) to use a method of calculating EBIT by segment that is based on its year end financial statements and accordingly adjusted HSMS EBIT targets, provided that such adjustment from the 2005 Methodology will not either benefit or detract from Mr. Siegel’s rights in connection with the stock grants contemplated hereby.

To the extent that the aggregate number of shares to be granted pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) in the preceding paragraph exceeds 37,500, such shares will only be granted if shareholder approval of such grant is obtained. If such shareholder approval is not obtained prior to the time any such shares are earned by Mr. Siegel, then Mr. Siegel shall not be entitled to and shall not be granted any such shares.

A copy of the Siegel Stock Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The Siegel Stock Purchase Agreement is subject to the terms of the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (“Plan”), which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2. The shares issued under the Siegel Stock Purchase Agreement shall be issued out of the Plan; provided, however, that if a number of shares of common stock in excess of 37,500 are issued pursuant to the Siegel Stock Purchase Agreement, the shares in excess of 37,500 shall not be issued out of the Plan but rather issued as a separate individual grant to Mr. Siegel.

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan");

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Administrator has determined that the Holder is entitled to a grant of shares, subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement (the defined terms in such Plan shall, except as otherwise provided herein, also be applicable to such terms as utilized herein); and
 
WHEREAS, each party hereto desires to enter into this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1. Award of Restricted Shares. (a) Subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby awards to the Holder Twenty Two Thousand (22,000) shares of Common Stock (the "Restricted Shares") in consideration of services actually rendered and to be rendered to the Company by Holder. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to the Repurchase Right with respect to Unvested Shares (as hereinafter defined) as set forth in Section 4 herein. The Company and Holder acknowledge and agree that the value of the services actually rendered to the Company prior to the date hereof by the Holder as consideration for the issuance of the Restricted Shares exceeds $220.00.
 
(b) The Restricted Shares, when issued pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, the Holder will have the right to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote, receive stock or cash dividends (but subject to the Repurchase Right with respect to Unvested Shares), participate in stock splits or other recapitalizations and exchange such shares in a merger, consolidation or other reorganization. The term "Restricted Shares," in addition to the shares received pursuant to this Agreement, also refers to all securities received in replacement of the Restricted Shares, as a stock dividend or as a result of any stock split, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to Holder is entitled by reason of Holder’s ownership of the Restricted Shares.



(c) The Company shall hold the certificates representing any Restricted Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right (as defined below) in escrow, provided that any Restricted Shares held in escrow shall be released from escrow and delivered to Holder as and when such shares are no longer subject to the Repurchase Right. In addition, Holder shall execute an assignment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with respect to the Restricted Shares.
 
2. Legends.
 
(a) The Shares (as hereinafter defined) shall be represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder.
 
(b) From and after the date of original issuance, stock certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
 
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE UNVESTED AND ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS GRANTED TO AMERICAN MEDICAL ALERT CORP. (“COMPANY”) AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE TERMS OF THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED DECEMBER 31, 2007, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). A COPY OF THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT IS MAINTAINED AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL CORPORATE OFFICES."

3. Transfer Restrictions.
 
(a) Restriction on Transfer. Except for any Permitted Transfer, Holder shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Restricted Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right.
 
(b) Transferee Objections. Each Person (other than the Company) to whom the Restricted Shares are transferred by means of a Permitted Transfer must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Company that such Person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred shares are subject to the Repurchase Right.

4. Repurchase Right.
 
(a) Grant. The Company is hereby granted the right (the "Repurchase Right"), exercisable at any time during the ninety (90)-day period following the date Holder ceases for any reason to remain in Service, to repurchase at the Per Share Purchase Price all or any portion of the Restricted Shares in which, at the time of his cessation of Service, Holder is not vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule (such shares to be hereinafter referred to as the "Unvested Shares").

(b) Exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to each Owner of the Unvested Shares prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day exercise period. The notice shall indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. In order to effect any such repurchase, the Company shall pay to Owner, in cash or cash equivalents, an amount equal to the Per Share Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Unvested Shares which are to be repurchased from Owner.
 
(c) Termination of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not timely exercised under Paragraph 4(b). In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate and cease to be exercisable with respect to any and all Restricted Shares in which Holder vests in accordance with the Vesting Schedule.
 
(d) Recapitalization. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including cash) paid as a dividend or otherwise) which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to or in exchange for the Restricted Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but only to the extent the Restricted Shares are at the time covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution shall be made to the number and/or class of Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement and to the Per Share Purchase Price to be paid upon the exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such Recapitalization upon the Company's capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate of the Per Share Purchase Price applicable to all Unvested Shares shall remain the same. Any securities or other property (including cash) distributed with respect to the Restricted Shares as a dividend or otherwise which are subject to the Repurchase Right shall be held in escrow.
 
(e) Special Tax Election. The grant of the Restricted Shares may result in adverse tax consequences which may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Code Section 83(b). Such election must be filed within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. The form for making the Code Section 83(b) election is set forth in Exhibit B hereto. HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING THE RESTRICTED SHARES AND THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF FILING THE CODE SECTION 83(B) ELECTION. HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HOLDER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF HOLDER REQUESTS THAT THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES FILE AN ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B) ON HOLDER’S BEHALF.
