从属协议

鉴于,借款人和贷款人是某份贷款协议的当事方,该协议于2024年7月24日签署(并可能不时被修订、重述、修订并重述、补充或以其他方式修改,称为“借款协议)贷款人于原本金额为1,500,00.00美元的情况下扩展了一笔定期贷款(该「贷款)。该贷款由借款人(以下称为「”).

 

鉴于,借款人及借款人的子公司癌症预防制药公司(以下称为「CPP)和贷款人为某项于2024年7月24日签订的安防协议的当事方(根据需要进行修改、重述、补充或以其他方式不时修改的「安防协议」),借款人及CPP向贷款人授予对借款人和CPP特定抵押品(如贷款协议中所定义)的第一优先安防权。

 

鉴于,借款人已向初级贷款人发行了某项到期日为2024年12月31日的次级本票,支付给初级贷款人的本金金额为50,000.00美元(“下阶债券“),其款项将用于借款人的薪资和一般企业用途(“特定交易“),该特定交易构成贷款协议第7.05条所述的违约事件(“指定交易违约事件”);

 

鉴于,借款人和CPP已请求贷款人放弃指定交易违约事件;

 

鉴于,作为贷款人放弃指定交易违约事件的先决条件,贷款人要求初级贷款人根据此处条款签署此种债权划分协议。

 

因此,作为对贷款人放弃指定交易事件违约的诱因,以及其他良好且有价值的考虑,双方在此确认收据及法律有效性,特此达成如下协议:
