EXHIBIT 10.9

WHEREAS, the August 2017 Notes are secured by a security agreement, IP security agreement and a guaranty from Oncolix-Delaware (the “August 2017 Security Documents”) and the May 2018 Notes are secured by a security agreement, IP security agreement and a guaranty from Oncolix-Delaware (the “May 2018 Security Documents” and collectively with the August 2017 Security Documents, the “Security Documents”) covering certain property owned by the Company (the property and all other collateral covered by the Security Documents shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral”); and
WHEREAS, Noteholders, pursuant to the Security Documents, have each been granted equal and ratable first priority liens and security interests in the Collateral, and Noteholders each desire to enter into an agreement with respect to the administration of the Collateral and the sharing of proceeds from the Collateral.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Equal Liens. Noteholders hereby agree that the liens and security interests in the Collateral granted to them under the Security Agreements are of equal priority.
2. Joint Exercise of Remedies. Holders hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Notes or the Security Documents to the contrary, no Holder shall be entitled to exercise any remedy under the Security Documents with respect to the Collateral except upon the affirmative approval of Holders holding at least 51% of the aggregate principal balance of the Notes then outstanding so long as such Holders shall include Puritan Partners LLC, as lead investor in the offering (“Majority Holders”). Upon an event of default under any of the Notes or Security Documents, any Holder may request, by written notice to all other Holders, that the Holders consent to and approve the exercise of certain remedies under the Security Documents. Upon obtaining affirmative consent and approval of Majority Holders for the exercise of any remedy under the Security Documents, all Holders consent and agree to the exercise of that remedy on behalf of all Holders. Majority Holders shall cause such remedies to be exercised and shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the lien and security interest granted under the Security Documents and realize on the Collateral. If Majority Holders do not consent to the exercise of any remedy, then all Holders hereby agree to abide by that decision. Notwithstanding the above provision, each Holder shall have the full right to accelerate and attempt to collect amounts due under their respective Notes without exercising any remedy under the Security Documents with respect to the Collateral.

3. Sharing of Proceeds. The proceeds received through enforcement of the liens and security interests granted and provided for in the Security Documents shall be shared among the Holders as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of the Holders in enforcing such liens and security interests and in protecting and collecting the proceeds of the Collateral (“Foreclosure Costs”), to the extent such foreclosure costs have not theretofore been reimbursed; and
(b) Second, to the payment of the unpaid principal and interest balance of the Notes, pro rata in accordance with the then outstanding principal amounts of, and accrued interest on, the Notes then outstanding at the time of any such determination.
4. Removal of Agent. The Agent may be removed at any time by the holders of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by filing with the Agent so removed and with the Company written evidence provided of such action in that regard taken by such percentage of the Noteholders; provided, that Puritan Partners may not be removed as Agent unless Puritan shall then hold less than $50,000 in principal amount of Notes; provided, further, that such removal may occur only if each of the other Noteholders shall then hold not less than an aggregate of $500,000 in principal amount of Notes.
5. Resignation of Agent; Appointment of Successor Agent. In case at any time the Agent (a) shall resign or shall be removed or (b) shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Agent or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then a vacancy shall be deemed to exist in the office of the Agent and a successor Agent may be appointed by the holders of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by the filing with the successor Agent, the Company and the retiring Agent of written evidence of the action in that regard taken by such percentage of the Noteholders; provided that unless a successor Agent shall have been appointed by the Noteholders as aforesaid, the Company by instrument executed by order of its Board of Directors may appoint a temporary successor Agent to fill such vacancy.
If no successor Agent shall have been appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 or shall have accepted appointment within three months after a vacancy shall have occurred in the office of Agent, the holder of any Note then outstanding or the retiring Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Agent.
