2.0 EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

2.1 Salary.

All sums are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated.

2.2 Benefits. Subject to the terms of the various plans in effect with QLT from time to time, and subject to the Employee taking the necessary steps to ensure that the Employee (and, where applicable, the Employee’s eligible dependents) are properly registered under the plans, and subject to payment of costs payable by the Employee where applicable, QLT will provide for the following additional benefits to the Employee during the Employee’s employment:

2.2.1 The Employee may contribute to a recognized Retirement Savings Plan (“RSP”) of the Employee’s selection and QLT will reimburse the Employee’s RSP eligible contribution up to 7% of the Employee’s salary earned annually to a maximum of 50% of the annual limit established by the Canada Revenue Agency for such calendar year.

2.3 Vacation. The Employee is entitled to paid vacation during each calendar year of the Employee’s employment on the basis of 2.08 days of vacation for each month of employment (in which at least 10 full days of salary has been earned) completed during that year.

Page 3 of 14 Initials        

expenses actually and properly incurred by the Employee in connection with the provision of the Services by the Employee under this Agreement approved by QLT and in accordance with QLT’s policies and practices. Such payment of or reimbursement for expenses shall be subject to the Employee keeping proper accounts and furnishing to QLT within 30 days after the date the expenses are incurred, all applicable statements, vouchers and other evidence of expense in such form as requested by QLT.

2.5 Sick Leave. The Employee is entitled to paid sick leave during each calendar year of employment up to a maximum of 10 days.

2.6 Stock Option Incentive Compensation. The Employee shall be eligible for participation in the Company’s performance based Incentive Stock Option Plan, as such Plans may be in effect from time to time. Participation in the Company’s performance based Incentive Stock Option Plan currently provides for an annual granting of options to purchase common shares of QLT, expiring five (5) years from the date of grant, at an exercise price equal to the closing price for the last trading day on the Toronto Stock Exchange immediately prior to the grant.

The Employee shall be eligible for participation in the Company’s Cash Incentive Compensation Plan, as such plan may be in effect from time to time, at a target cash incentive compensation payment of 25% of base salary. The amount of the payment is subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors and is to be based on corporate and individual objectives and milestones, which are agreed upon by the Company and the Employee. In order to receive payment, the Employee must be employed by QLT at the time when the Cash Incentive Compensation Plan is otherwise actually paid to eligible employees (which usually occurs in February or March of the year following the calendar year in which such Cash Incentive Compensation amount relates).

3.0 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

3.1 Termination by Employee. The Employee may terminate his or her employment upon giving QLT 30 days prior written notice of the effective date of his or her resignation. On receiving such notice, QLT may elect to pay the Employee salary in lieu of working

Page 4 of 14 Initials        

notice period, in which case the termination will be effective immediately. Despite the foregoing, if the Employee provides 10 business days’ notice in writing of his resignation at any time within 10 business days following the later of: (a) the date that QLT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for QLT’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as approved by the Board of Directors of QLT, is filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; and (b) February 23, 2013, the Employee will receive the severance entitlements in accordance with section 3.2, paid out as lump sum payment of salary in lieu of notice and not working notice. QLT may in its discretion waive all or any part of the 10 business day notice period in which case the employment of the Employee will terminate on the earlier day selected by QLT and the Employee will not be entitled to compensation for the balance of the notice period.

3.2 Termination by QLT. QLT may terminate the Employee’s employment immediately without cause upon providing to the Employee the following:

3.2.1 twelve months’ salary in a lump sum payment payable at the time of termination;

3.2.2 an amount equal to the Cash Incentive Compensation (bonus) that the Employee would have earned in the year of termination prorated to the Employee’s termination date and any earned but unpaid bonus from the previous year. These payments will be calculated assuming 100% of the individual goals were met, but not exceeded. The corporate portion of the Cash Incentive Compensation (if applicable) will be calculated using the average percentage of the 3 years immediately preceding the year in which the Employee’s employment is terminated;

3.2.3 an amount equal to the RRSP matching payments the Employee would otherwise have been eligible to receive until the Employee’s termination date and from his termination date to the last day of his severance period; and;

3.2.4 provided the Employee remains a full-time resident of Canada, and provided that Great-West Life approves the extension of any benefits provided through them past the Employee’s termination date, QLT will continue all of his health-related benefits, other than short-term disability, long-term disability and out of country travel coverage, until the earlier of the date the Employee commences employment or a consulting arrangement with a third party or the last day of his severance period.
