    THIS AMENDING AGREEMENT is
made as of the 16th day of
June, 2008 by and between Stephen Kilmer (the “Employee”), a resident of the
Province of Ontario, 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 31, 2008 (the
“Termination Agreement”)
pursuant to which the Employee’s employment with the Employer, as its Vice
President, Investor & Public Affairs, was terminated;

     

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

     

    AND WHEREAS, the Employer has
advised the Employee that it will not be able to pay the Severance Balance on or
prior to June 30, 2008, and they mutually have agreed to extend such deadline to
September 1, 2008;

     

    NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Amending
Agreement and the Termination Agreement (the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto), the parties hereto agree as
follows:

              The
      Employer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Requisite

      to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval and (ii) September 30,
      2008.

    THIS SECOND AMENDING AGREEMENT
is made as of the 16th day of
June, 2008 by and between David C. Eldridge (the “Employee”), a resident of the
State of Oklahoma, and OccuLogix, Inc. (the “Employer”), a corporation

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 8, 2008 (the
“Termination Agreement”)
pursuant to which the Employee’s employment with the Employer, as its Vice
President, Science and Technology, was terminated;

Stock Option Plan;

     

    AND WHEREAS, on May 20, 2008,
the Employer filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and

Stock Option Plan in partial satisfaction and discharge of its obligation to pay
the Severance Balance;

     

    AND WHEREAS, the Employer has
advised the Employee that it will not be able to pay the Severance Balance on or

      all requisite corporate approval therefor (including, without limitation,
      the approval of the Employer’s stockholders, if required), the Employer
      may satisfy and discharge in full its obligation under Section 3.2 to pay
      the Severance Balance as follows:  (i) with respect to some
