AMENDING AGREEMENT

     

    THIS THIRD AMENDING AGREEMENT
is made as of the 25th day of
July, 2008 by and between Stephen Parks (the “Employee”), a resident of the
State of Mississippi, and OccuLogix, Inc. (the “Employer”), a corporation
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and having its executive
offices at 2600 Skymark Avenue, Building 9, Suite 201, Mississauga, Ontario, L4W
5B2.

     

    WHEREAS, the Employer and the
Employee entered into a termination agreement dated as of January 4, 2008 (the
“Termination Agreement”)
pursuant to which the Employee’s employment with the Employer, as its Vice
President, Sales, was terminated;

     

    AND WHEREAS, capitalized terms
used in this Third Amending Agreement, but not otherwise defined, shall have the
respective meanings attributed to such terms in the Termination
Agreement;

     

    AND WHEREAS, the Employer and
the Employee entered into an amending agreement dated as of March 3, 2008 (the
“Amending Agreement”)
pursuant to which they agreed that the Employer may pay the Employee up to 50%
of the Severance Balance by granting to the Employee stock options under the
Stock Option Plan;

     

    AND WHEREAS, the Employer and
the Employee entered into an amending agreement dated as of June 16, 2008 (the
“Second Amending
Agreement”) pursuant to which they agreed to, among other things, an
amendment to the earliest date on which the Severance Balance will become due
and payable to the Employee;

     

    AND WHEREAS, on May 20, 2008,
the Employer filed a preliminary proxy statement (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”)
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which is currently the
subject of review by the SEC, proposing a number of transactions for the
approval of the Employer’s stockholders, including the approval and adoption of
a certain Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Employer has
agreed to sell shares of its common stock to the investors party thereto, and
the investors party thereto have agreed to purchase shares of the Employer’s
common stock, upon the terms and conditions provided for therein (the “Private
Placement”);

     

    AND WHEREAS, as part of the
SEC review process, the Employer will revise the Preliminary Proxy Statement to
have it reflect the current terms of the transactions proposed therein,
including the Private Placement;

     

    AND WHEREAS, the Employer has
advised the Employee that, upon clearing the SEC review process, the Employer
will file and mail the final version of the Preliminary Proxy Statement (the
“Proxy Statement”) and
convene a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholders
Meeting”);

     

    
      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

    


    AND WHEREAS, the Employer has
advised the Employee that it will not be able to pay the Severance Balance on or
prior to September 1, 2008, and they mutually have agreed to extend the deadline
by which the Severance Balance must be paid;

     

    NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Third
Amending Agreement and the Termination Agreement, as amended by the Amending
Agreement and the Second Amending Agreement, and the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as

which a meeting of the Employer’s stockholders may be convened to obtain the
Requisite Stockholder Approval and (ii) October 31, 2008.

Third Amending Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Mississippi, without regard to its conflicts of laws
