terminated at any time:
 
8.1.1. by the Corporation without prior notice and without further obligations
to the Employee during the first three months of the date hereof;
 
8.1.2. by the Corporation without prior notice and without further obligations
to the Employee for reasons of Just Cause;
 
8.1.3. by the Corporation for any reason other than Just Cause, on twelve
months’ prior written notice to the Employee, provided that if the Employee is
entitled under the ESA to a longer period of notice than that prescribed above,
the notice to be given by the Corporation under this section 8.1.2 shall be that
minimum period of notice which is required under the ESA and no more; or
 
8.1.4. by the Employee on one month’s prior written notice to the Corporation.
 
The Employee’s employment shall be automatically terminated, without further
obligation to the Employee, in the event of her death.
 
8.2. Effective Date. The effective date on which the Employee’s employment shall
be terminated shall be:
 
8.2.1. in the case of termination under section 8.1.1 or section 8.1.2, the day
the Employee is deemed, under section 17, to have received notice from the

day of the minimum period referred to therein; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the Corporation is giving or has given
notice pursuant to section 8.1.2 above, the Corporation shall have the right, at
any time prior to the end of the Employment Period and by giving notice to the
Employee to that effect (a “Stop Work Notice”), to require that the Employee
cease to perform her duties and responsibilities and cease attending the
Corporation’s premises immediately upon the giving of the Stop Work Notice. If a
Stop Work Notice is given, the Corporation shall continue to pay the Employee to
the end of the Employment Period. For that purpose, in calculating the
Employee’s entitlement to Basic Salary, the Employee shall be considered to have
been actively employed by the Corporation to the end of the Employment Period.
For the purpose of the Employee’s entitlement to Benefits, the Employee shall
receive an amount equal to 2.5 percent of her Basic Salary for the purpose of
obtaining equivalent coverage during the notice period.

Rights of Employee on Termination and Lump Sum Payment

 
Where the Employee’s employment under this Agreement has been terminated by the
Corporation under section 8.1.2, the Employee shall be entitled, upon providing
to the Corporation appropriate releases, resignations and other similar
documentation, to receive from the Corporation, in addition to accrued but
unpaid Basic Salary, if any, and any entitlement in respect of vacation as
contemplated by section 7, a lump sum payment equal to 12 months of her Basic
Salary and 2.5 percent of her Basic Salary in respect of her entitlement to
Benefits (in lieu of continued benefit coverage), less any amounts payable to
the Employee in lieu of notice where a Stop Work Notice has been given pursuant
to section 8 and less any amounts owing by the Employee to the Corporation for
any reason.
 
Except as provided above in this section 9 and subject to section 10, where the
Employee’s employment has been terminated by the Employee or by the Corporation
for any reason, the Employee shall not be entitled, except to the extent
required under any mandatory employment standard under the ESA, to receive any
payment as severance pay, in lieu of notice, or as damages. Except as to any
entitlement as provided above and subject to section 10, the Employee hereby
waives any claims that the Employee may have against the Corporation for or in
respect of severance pay, or on account of loss of office or employment or
notice in lieu thereof or damages in lieu thereof (other than rights to accrued
but unpaid Basic Salary and vacation pay and to reimbursement for expenses
pursuant to section 6). The payments to the Employee where the Corporation has
given notice pursuant to section 8.1.2 above, whether or not a Stop Work Notice
is given, shall be deemed to include, and to satisfy entitlement to, severance
pay pursuant to the ESA to the extent of such payments.
 
10.
Change of Control

 
10.1. Termination of Employment by the Corporation for Just Cause. Following a
Change of Control, the Corporation may terminate the Employee’s employment at
any time without notice or further obligations to the Employee under this
Agreement for reasons of Just Cause. For greater certainty, following a Change
of Control, the Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Just
Cause unless and until there has been delivered to the Employee a copy of a
resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters
of the entire membership of the board of directors of the Corporation (excluding
the Employee if the Employee is, at the relevant time, a director of the
Corporation) at a meeting of the board called and held for the purpose (after
reasonable notice to the Employee), finding that, in the good faith opinion of
the Board, the Employee’s conduct constituted Just Cause and specifying the
particulars thereof. The date on which the copy of such resolution is given to
the Employee shall be the effective date of any termination pursuant to this
section 10.1.
 
10.2. Termination of Employment Without Just Cause or for Good Reason. If at any
time within 24 months following a Change of Control, the Employee’s employment
is terminated (i) by the Corporation other than for Just Cause or (ii) by the
Employee in response to a Good Reason, the following provisions shall apply:
 
10.2.1. the Employee shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay
to the Employee immediately following termination, a cash amount equal to the
aggregate of (i) twelve (12) months of the Employee’s Basic Salary and (ii) the
average amount of the per annum bonus remuneration paid to the Employee during
each full Year of Employment during the Employment Period, less any required
statutory deductions and withholdings;
 
10.2.2. the Employee shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay
to the Employee, immediately following termination, a cash amount equal to 2.5
percent of her annual Basic Salary in lieu of continued benefit coverage; and
 
10.2.3. if at the date of termination of the Employee’s employment, the Employee
holds options for the purchase of shares under a share option plan, all options
so held shall, notwithstanding the terms of the Corporation’s share option plan,
(i) immediately vest to the extent they have not already vested at such date;
and (ii) (A) for a period of two years following the Employee’s date of
termination continue to be held on the same terms and conditions as if the
Employee continued to be employed by the Corporation or (B) if the Employee so
elects in writing within 90 days after the date of termination, be purchased by
the Corporation at a cash purchase price equal to the amount by which the
aggregate “fair market value” of the shares subject to such options exceeds the
aggregate option price for such shares, provided that for this purpose, “fair
market value” means the higher of (i) the weighted average of the closing prices
for the shares of the same class of the Corporation on the principal securities
exchange (in terms of volume of trading) on which such shares are listed at the
time of termination for each of the last 10 days prior to such time on which
such shares traded on such securities exchange, and (ii) if the Change of
Control involved the purchase and sale of such shares, the average value of the
cash consideration paid to the shareholders of the Corporation in connection
with the transactions resulting in the Change of Control.
 
For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee’s employment shall be deemed to
have been terminated following a Change of Control by the Corporation without
Just Cause or by the Employee with Good Reason, if: (i) the Employee’s
employment is terminated by the Corporation without Just Cause prior to a Change
of Control and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who
has entered into an agreement with the Corporation or any shareholder of the
Corporation, the consummation of which would constitute or result in a Change of
Control; (ii) the Employee terminates her employment with Good Reason prior to a
Change of Control and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason
occurs at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement
with the Corporation or any shareholder of the Corporation, the consummation of
which would constitute or result in a Change of Control; or (iii) the Employee’s
employment is terminated by the Corporation without Just Cause prior to a Change
of Control and the Employee reasonably demonstrates that such termination is
otherwise in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change of Control which
actually occurs.
 
For greater certainty, this section 10.2 does not apply in the event of the
termination of the employment of the Employee: (i) as a result of death,
Disability or Retirement, (ii) by the Corporation for Just Cause or (iii) by the
Employee without Good Reason. If the Employee or the Corporation intends to
terminate the Employee’s employment as contemplated in this section 10, the
party having such intention shall, in accordance with the provisions of
section 17 hereof, give the other notice thereof.
 
11.
No Obligation to Mitigate

 
The Employee shall not be required to mitigate any damages or losses arising
from any termination of this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise,
nor (except as specifically provided herein) shall the amount of any payment
provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Employee as a result of employment by another employer after termination or
otherwise.
 
12.

The Employee shall not, either during the Employment Period or the Restricted

treatment of ophthalmic diseases or which is otherwise the same as, or
substantially similar to, or which competes with or would compete with, the
business carried on by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries during the
Employment Period or at the end thereof.

owning not more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of a corporation,
the shares of which are listed on a recognized stock exchange or traded in the
over-the-counter market in Canada or the United States, which carries on a
business which is the same as, or substantially similar to, or which competes
with or would compete with, the business of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries.

shall preclude the Employee from disclosing or using Confidential Information
if:
 
15.1. the Confidential Information is available to the public or in the public
domain at the time of such disclosure or use, without breach of this Agreement;
or
 
15.2. disclosure of the Confidential Information is required to be made by any
law, regulation or governmental body or authority or by court order.
 
The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the obligations under this section 15
are to remain in effect in perpetuity and shall exist and continue in full force

repudiation, by the Corporation of this Agreement.
 
16.
Remedies

 
The Employee acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by the Employee of
the provisions of any of sections 12 to 15 inclusive will result in the
Corporation and its shareholders suffering irreparable harm which is not capable
of being calculated and which cannot be fully or adequately compensated by the
