offices at 2600 Skymark Avenue, Building 9, Suite 201, Mississauga, Ontario, L4W
5B2.

       

      WHEREAS, the Employer and the
Employee entered into an employment agreement dated as of September 1, 2004,
pursuant to which the Employee has been serving the Employer as its Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment
Agreement”);

       

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

       

      AND WHEREAS, the Employee and
the Employer mutually have agreed that the services of the Employee as an
executive are no longer required and, accordingly, have agreed to the
termination of the Employee’s employment with the Employer pursuant to Section
8.1.2 of the Employment Agreement;

       

      AND WHEREAS, the Employee and
the Employer hereby further acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to Section 9 of
the Employment Agreement, when the Employee’s employment under the Employment
Agreement has been terminated by the Employer for any reason other than Just
Cause pursuant to Section 8.1.2 of the Employment Agreement, the Employee is
entitled to receive from the Employer, in addition to accrued but unpaid salary,
if any, a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (i) U.S.$1,400,000 and (ii)
24 months’ of his Basic Salary and Bonus and 5% of his Basic Salary in respect
of his entitlement to Benefits, less any amounts payable to the Employee in lieu
of notice where a Stop Work Notice has been given pursuant to Section 8.2 of the
Employment Agreement and any amounts owing by the Employee to the Employer for
any reason;

       

      AND WHEREAS, the Employee has
not been given a Stop Work Notice pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Employment
Agreement;

       

      AND WHEREAS, between February

John Cornish, David C. Eldridge, Julie A. Fotheringham, Stephen J. Kilmer, Suh

notwithstanding William G. Dumencu’s continuing employment with the Employer,
voluntarily has agreed to pay him the amount that would be owing to him pursuant
to his employment agreement if his employment were terminated without cause (all
such individuals, collectively, the “Affected
Individuals”);

      
        
           

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      AND WHEREAS, the Employee has
agreed that the Severance Amount (defined below) may be paid to him, as to 100%,
by the grant of stock options under the Employer’s 2002 Stock Option Plan, as
amended (the “Stock Option
Plan”), in a number to be calculated in accordance with the methodology
therefor described in the Proxy Statement for the Employer’s Annual and Special
Meeting of Stockholders held on September 30, 2008 (the “Proxy
Statement”);

       

      AND WHEREAS, the Employer will
effect a recapitalization in which the issued and outstanding shares of its
common stock will be reverse split in a ratio of 1:25 (the “Reverse Stock

      AND WHEREAS, the Employment
Agreement is further amended by this Agreement;

       

      AND WHEREAS, the Employee has

in accordance with the Board’s policies with respect to the compensation of
directors;

       

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

       

      
        	
                1.

              	
                TERMINATION

              

      

       

      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
Date”).  The Employer shall pay the Employee, on the next
regularly scheduled payday, all accrued (to and including the Termination Date)
but unpaid salary.  For greater certainty, the Employee hereby waives
the requirement, under Section 8.1.2 of the Employment Agreement, to provide 24
months’ prior written notice to the Employee of the Employer’s intention to
terminate his employment with the Employer.

       

      
        	
                2.

              	
                RETURN
      OF PROPERTY

              

      

       

      2.1           The
Employee hereby certifies that he has returned to the Employer all property of
the Employer in the Employee’s possession, including, without limitation, all
keys, business cards, computer hardware, including, without limitation,
Blackberry units, printers, mice and other hardware accessories, and computer
software.  The Employee hereby further certifies that he has returned
to the Employer, or destroyed, all tangible material embodying Confidential
Information in any form whatsoever, including, without limitation, all paper
copy copies, summaries and excerpts of Confidential Information and all
electronic media or records containing or derived from Confidential
Information.

                3.

              	
                SEVERANCE

              

      

       

      3.1           The
Employee and the Employer hereby agree that, for reason of the termination of
the Employee’s employment with the Employer pursuant to Section 8.1.2 of the
Employment Agreement and effected by this Agreement, the Employee is entitled to
receive from the Employer U.S.$1,570,007.76 (the “Severance Amount”), being an
amount equal to:  (i) 24 months’ of his Basic Salary and Bonus; plus (ii) 5% of his
Basic Salary in respect of his entitlement to Benefits; minus (iii)
U.S.$12,533.50, being the aggregate amount that the Employer disbursed in 2008,
on the Employee’s behalf, for certain perquisites to which he is entitled under
the Employment Agreement.  For clarity, the purposes of calculating
the Severance Amount, “Basic Salary” means the amount of the Employee’s Basic
Salary on January 31, 2008.

       

      3.2           Concurrently
with the discharge by the Employer of the severance obligations owing to the
Affected Individuals, the Employer shall pay the Severance Amount to the
Employee, as to 100%, by the grant of stock options under the Stock Option Plan,
in a number calculated in accordance with the methodology therefor described in
the Proxy Statement (the “Severance Stock Options”),
provided that the Severance Stock Options shall be exercisable immediately upon
grant, have a term expiring on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and
have an exercise price determined and set in accordance with the policy of the
Employer’s board of directors with respect to the granting of stock options and
provided, further, that the number of the Severance Stock Options and the
exercise price thereof shall be adjusted appropriately following the Reverse
Stock Split, in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option
Plan.

       

      
        	
                4.

              	
                RELEASE
      AND TERMINATION

              

      

       

      4.1           The
Employee hereby agrees, on behalf of himself and his administrators, heirs,
assigns and anyone claiming through him, to release completely and forever
discharge the Employer and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective
officers, directors, shareholders, agents, servants, representatives,
underwriters, successors, heirs and assigns, from any and all claims, demands,
obligations and causes of action (“Claims”), of any nature
whatsoever, whether known or unknown, which the Employee ever had, now has or
might have in the future as a result of the Employee’s employment with the
Employer as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or the termination thereof
hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim relating to the Employment
Agreement or the termination thereof hereunder or any claim relating to any
violation of any Canadian federal or provincial statute or regulation, any claim
for wrongful discharge or breach of contract or any claim relating to Canadian
federal or provincial laws (including, without limitation, the Employment Standards Act
(Ontario) and the Ontario Human Rights Code), provided, however,
that such release and discharge shall be effective only upon the payment in full
by the Employer of the Severance Amount pursuant to Article 3 of this
Agreement.  For greater certainty, the release and discharge by the
Employee pursuant to this Section 4.1 are not, and shall not be construed as, a
release or discharge of any Claims resulting from or in connection with, or
arising from or otherwise relating to, the Employee’s past, present or future
service as a member of the Board or any action or omission in such capacity. In
addition, nothing herein shall be construed as depriving the Employee of (i) any
indemnification rights to which he is entitled under the Amended and Restated
By-laws of the Employer or under the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the
date hereof, between the Employer and the Employee or (ii) any protection to
which he may be entitled, on, prior to or after the Termination Date, under the
Employer’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy from time to
time.

      4.2           Section
12 of the Employment Agreement (Non-Competition) is hereby amended by replacing,
in the first paragraph thereof, the words “which is the same as or substantially
similar to or which competes with or would compete with the business carried on
during the Employment Period or at the end thereof, as the case may be, by the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.” with the words “(i) the Corporation’s
RHEO business and/or (ii) the business of OcuSense, Inc., as each of them was
carried on during the Employment Period.”.

       

      4.3           The
Employment Agreement is hereby terminated and rendered null and void, save and
except for those provisions thereof that are expressly stated to survive the
termination thereof, including, without limitation, Section 12
(Non-Competition), as amended by Section 4.2 of this Agreement, and Sections 13
(No Solicitation of Patients), 14 (No Solicitation of Employees) 15
(Confidentiality) and 16 (Remedies).  The Employee hereby agrees to
abide by such provisions, including, for greater certainty, Section 12 of the
Employment Agreement (Non-Competition), as amended by Section 4.2 of this
Agreement.

mitigation by the Employee of any damages or losses arising from the termination
hereunder of his employment with the Employer and the termination of the
Employment Agreement hereunder (including, without limitation, by obtaining
other employment) shall not, in any way, derogate from, or otherwise affect, the
Employee’s rights or the Employer’s obligations under this
Agreement.  For greater certainty, and without derogating from the
generality of the foregoing statement, no amount to be paid by the Employer
under this Agreement shall be reduced, or made refundable to the Employer, by
any compensation earned by the Employee as a result of employment by another
employer or otherwise after the Termination Date.

initiate or participate in any discussions with, any other person, including,
without limitation, the Employer’s customers, which are derogatory, disparaging
or injurious to the reputation of the Employee or the Employer.  This
Section 6.1, in no way, shall be construed as prohibiting either party hereto
from responding truthfully to any question or interrogatory to which such party
is requested to respond.

      FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, POSITRON CORPORATION,
a publicly owned Texas corporation (“Borrower”), hereby covenants and
promises to pay to the order of IMAGIN MOLECULAR CORPORATION
publicly owned Delaware corporation (the “Holder”), One Million Three Hundred Forty-Six
Thousand Dollars ($1,367,000.00), in lawful money of the United States of
America, payable before December 31, 2008 (the “Due Date”) with interest at the
rate of eight percent (8%).  All principal, interest and other costs
hereunder shall be due and payable to the Holder of this Non-Negotiable
Promissory Note (the “Note").

      

      Borrower
shall have the right to prepay, without penalty, all or any part of the unpaid
balance of this Note at any time on five (5) days prior written notice;
provided, however, that any partial prepayment shall be applied upon the
installments of principal and interest in the inverse order of their becoming
due, and upon making any such prepayment in full, Borrower shall pay to the
Holder all interest owing pursuant to this Note.  Borrower shall not
be entitled to re-borrow any prepaid amounts of the principal, interest or other
costs or charges. Borrower is duly authorized to enter into this
Note.  This Note may not be assigned without the Holder’s prior
written permission.

      

      Further,
it is agreed that if any installment of principal and/or interest on this Note
is not paid when due, the entire unpaid portion of this Note and all sums
payable hereunder may be declared immediately due and payable at the option of
the Holder.  After the Due Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
interest shall accrue on the principal amount, and accrued interest thereon
remaining unpaid at an interest rate equal to 15% per annum or the highest
lawful rate, whichever is lower, until paid.   All payments of
principal and interest under this Note are to be made to the Holder at 104W.
Chestnut Street, #315, Hinsdale, Illinois 60521, or at such other address as the
Holder may, from time to time, designate in writing.

      

      Borrower
and the Holder acknowledge that the Note is enforceable, valid and binding upon
and by the parties hereto.  If for any reason, any court authority or
governmental entity declares this Note invalid, unlawful or against public
policy, then, the parties hereto acknowledge that the obligation of the Borrower
to repay the Note shall not be affected by such declaration.

      

      Borrower
shall pay to the Holder, on demand, each cost and expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs of suit) incurred by the
