survive the death of HANS K. STOCK and shall become a receivable of
STOCK's estate until the termination of this Agreement.

of their current term and OCCULOGIX requires STOCK's assistance in
formulating that agreement, the royalty payments shall be negotiated
with STOCK in a separate agreement at that time.
