1.1           The
Employee and the Employer hereby agree that the Employee’s employment with the
Employer is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1.2 of the Employment Agreement,
effective at the close of business on the date hereof (the “Termination

2.1           Subject
to Section 2.2, the Employee hereby agrees that, by no later than the end of the

has returned to the Employer, and he will have returned to the Employer, all
property of the Employer in the Employee’s possession, including, without

3.
            SEVERANCE




3.1           The
Employee and the Employer hereby agree that, notwithstanding Section 9 of the
Employment Agreement, the Employee’s Severance shall not be paid to him in a
lump sum on the Termination Date.  In lieu thereof, during the period
from the Termination Date to March 31, 2008 inclusive (the “Salary Continuance Period”),
the Employer shall pay the Employee, on a semi-monthly basis according to the
Employer’s regular payroll practices, amounts equal to the basic wages that the
Employee was earning from the Employer immediately prior to the Termination Date
(less applicable deductions and withholdings).  The aggregate net
amount paid by the Employer to the Employee during (i) the period between
December 31, 2007 and the date immediately preceding the Termination Date
inclusive and (ii) the Salary Continuance Period, together with the aggregate
amount of deductions and withholdings withheld by the Employer, in accordance

hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Salary Continuance
Amount”.

which the Employer closes a financing for total gross proceeds in an aggregate
amount of at least U.S.$10,000,000, whether by way of debt, equity or otherwise,
and whether such financing is effected in a single transaction or a series of
related or unrelated transactions, and (iii) a Change of Control (defined
below), the Employer shall pay the Employee, in a lump sum, an amount equal to
(A) the Employee’s Severance minus (B) the Salary
Continuance Amount minus (C)
U.S.$1,225.41, less applicable deductions and withholdings (the “Severance
Balance”).   If the Employee advises the Employer that he
wishes to exercise his right to purchase the Computer Equipment pursuant to
Section 2.2, the Employer may set off against, or deduct from, the Severance
Balance the purchase price of the Computer Equipment.  “Change of Control” shall be
deemed to have occurred when:  (a) any Person, other than a Person or
a combination of Persons presently owning, directly or indirectly, more than 20%
of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Employer, acquires or
becomes the beneficial owner of, or a combination of Persons acting jointly and
in concert acquires or becomes the beneficial owner of, directly or indirectly,
more than 50% of the voting securities of the Employer, whether through the
acquisition of previously issued and outstanding voting securities or of voting
securities that have not been previously issued, or any combination thereof, or
any other transaction having a similar effect; (b) the Employer merges with one
or more corporations, including, without limitation, any Subsidiary or Affiliate
of the Employer; (c) the Employer sells, leases or otherwise disposes of all or
substantially all of its assets and undertaking, whether pursuant to one or more
transactions; (d) any Person not part of existing management of the Employer or

either (Y) the termination by the Employer, for any reason other than Just
Cause, of the employment of any two of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General
Counsel within three months of the date such arrangement is entered into or (Z)
the termination by the Employer, for any reason other than Just Cause, of the
employment of all such senior executive personnel within six months of the date
that such arrangement is entered into; or (e) the Employer enters into any
transaction or arrangement which would have the same, or similar, effect as the
transactions referred to in (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this sentence.




3.3           If,
prior to the end of the Salary Continuance Period, any petition should be filed
by or against the Employer for liquidation or reorganization, or should the
Employer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor
or creditors, or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of the Employer’s assets, or should the Employer consent to the
winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of itself or its affairs (each, a “Bankruptcy Event”), then an
amount equal to (i) the Employee’s Severance minus (ii)
U.S.$1,225.41 minus (iii) the
aggregate net amount paid by the Employer to the Employee to the date of the
Bankruptcy Event, together with the aggregate amount of deductions and
withholdings withheld by the Employer, pursuant to Section 3.1, shall become due
and payable immediately to the Employee.  If a Bankruptcy Event occurs
on or after March 31, 2008, then the Severance Balance shall become due and
payable immediately to the Employee.

3.4           The
Employee may direct, in a written direction in form and substance satisfactory
to the Employer, the Employer to pay all amounts due and payable pursuant to
Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 to the Employee’s professional corporation, David C.
Eldridge, O.D., P.C.  Nothing herein shall be construed in such a
manner so as to prevent or prohibit the Employer from making the required or
advisable deductions and withholdings, if any, from such amounts or from
reporting such amounts on the appropriate Internal Revenue Service
forms.




3.5           The
Employer hereby agrees that, in the event that any of Elias Vamvakas, Tom
Reeves, Nozhat Choudry, John Cornish, Bill Dumencu, Julie Fotheringham, Stephen
Kilmer, Suh Kim, Stephen Parks or Stephen Westing (each, an “OLT Member”) should become
entitled to receive severance pursuant to his or her executive employment
agreement at any time before the Employer has paid, in full, the amount due and
payable to him pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3, as the case may be, the Employer
shall not pay any OLT Member a percentage of his or her severance entitlement
(without regard to applicable deductions and withholdings) that exceeds the
percentage that (i) the Salary Continuance Amount plus the aggregate
amount paid to the Employee pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, together with the
aggregate amount of deductions and withholdings withheld by the Employer,
represents of (ii) the amount of the Employee’s Severance.




4.
            BENEFITS




4.1           On
or prior to January 15, 2008, the Employer shall pay the Employee U.S.$4,901.64,
in a lump sum, being the amount equal to the aggregate amount that the Employer
would have disbursed in respect of the Benefits to which the Employee would have
been entitled during the Salary Continuance Period, had the Employee’s
employment with the Employer not terminated on the Termination Date and instead
continued throughout the Salary Continuance Period, or U.S.$3,676.23 (the “Employer’s Benefits
Contribution”), grossed up by
U.S.$1,225.41, which represents an additional amount that, after deduction by
the Employer of applicable withholding tax on the Employer’s Benefits
Contribution, will result in the Employee receiving a net amount equal to the
Employer’s Benefits Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1 .  The
Employer shall have no other obligation to the Employee with respect to Benefits
during the Salary Continuance Period.




4.2           For
greater certainty, all amounts due and payable by the Employer to the Employee
pursuant to Article 3 and this Article 4 shall be paid, net of applicable
deductions and withholdings.




5.
            TRANSITION
      MATTERS AND E-MAIL ACCOUNT




5.1           The
Employee hereby agrees to make himself available to the Employer during the

the scope of the Employee’s duties and responsibilities prior to the Termination
Date.

5.2           The
Employee shall be entitled to continued access to his Occulogix.com e-mail
account during the Salary Continuance Period.  However, such access

Employer.
