Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Stock Purchase Agreement
On October 6, 2026, CERo Therapeutics Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Holdings”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with SRX Global Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as SRX Health Solutions, Inc. (“SRX” or the
“Buyer”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Holdings will sell to the Buyer all of the outstanding
capital stock of CERo Therapeutics, Inc., its wholly owned operating subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), which sale is referred
to herein as the “Transaction.” Upon completion of the Transaction (the “Closing”), Holdings will cease to own
the Subsidiary. In connection with signing the Purchase Agreement, the maturity date of the Consolidated Senior Secured Promissory Note
entered into on August 27, 2026 (the “Consolidated Note”) will be extended to the date that is five (5) business days following
the earlier of the Closing Date or the valid termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to its terms. The following description of
the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement,
copy of which is filed as 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
Consideration
At Closing, Holdings will receive (i) shares
of SRX common stock determined by dividing $1,000,000.00 by the lower of (a) closing price of SRX common stock on the NYSE American
on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement, and (b) the 20-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP)
of SRX common stock on the NYSE American ending on such date, subject to adjustment for specified changes in SRX’s capital
structure; (ii) forgiveness, cancellation and discharge of all obligations under the Consolidated Note (in the original principal
amount of up to $11,666,108.77) and related loan documents (which as of the date of this Report, has an outstanding principal
balance of $8,249,643.77), plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees and expenses; and (iii) the Buyer’s assumption of the
liabilities specified in the Purchase Agreement and related assumption agreement in the amount of approximately $1,562,000, with
Buyer agreeing to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Holdings and its past, present, and future officers and directors from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, and expenses arising out of or resulting from the assumed liabilities. The debt discharge
will be accompanied by termination of the related Pledge Agreement, Security Agreement, Company Guaranty, and releases of liens
securing the obligations represented by the Consolidated Note on the Subsidiary’s stock and assets.
Go-Shop and Superior Proposals
The Purchase Agreement provides a 30-day go-shop
period beginning on the signing date and ending thirty (30) days from the signing date (the “Go-Shop Period”). During this
period, Holdings and its representatives may actively solicit, initiate, facilitate, and encourage alternative acquisition proposals and
provide nonpublic information under acceptable confidentiality agreements. Holdings has retained Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC to conduct
the go-shop process. Holdings must notify SRX within 24 hours after receipt of an acquisition proposal during the Go-Shop Period, identify
the bidder and summarize the material terms, and keep SRX reasonably informed of material developments.
If Holdings receives a Superior Proposal before
the Go-Shop Period expires, the Purchase Agreement provides up to 45 additional days after the go-shop end date to negotiate that proposal
and execute a definitive agreement. A “Superior Proposal” must, among other requirements, be a bona fide written proposal
that the Holdings board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, is more favorable
to Holdings than the Transaction, taking into account any revisions proposed by SRX. The proposal must not be subject to third-party financing
and must require consummation no later than March 15, 2027. A qualifying alternative acquisition proposal must also contemplate full repayment
of Holdings’ obligations under the Consolidated Note and related security documents, release of the related liens and payment of
the applicable termination fee to SRX.
After the Go-Shop Period, the Purchase Agreement
restricts further solicitation, information sharing, and negotiations, subject to negotiation of any Superior Proposal received during
the Go-Shop Period, provisions and a fiduciary exception for qualifying unsolicited written proposals. Before terminating the Purchase
Agreement to enter into an agreement for a Superior Proposal, Holdings must comply with the applicable procedures, including at least
three business days’ prior written notice to SRX and, if requested, good-faith negotiations regarding revisions offered by SRX.
A material amendment to the competing proposal requires a new two-business-day notice period. The Holdings board must determine that the
competing proposal remains superior after considering SRX’s proposed revisions, and Holdings must pay the applicable termination
fee in connection with termination.
There can be no assurance that the go-shop process
will result in a Superior Proposal or that any alternative transaction will be completed.
1
Termination rights and reciprocal termination
fees
The Purchase Agreement may be terminated in specified
circumstances, including by mutual agreement, upon a final legal prohibition, for specified uncured breaches, or if Closing has not occurred
by the applicable outside date. Holdings may also terminate to enter into an agreement for a Superior Proposal in compliance with the
go-shop procedures, and the Buyer may terminate for a breach of the go-shop provisions or an adverse change in the Holdings board’s
recommendation.
Holdings is required to pay a $750,000 termination
fee in the circumstances specified in the Purchase Agreement, including if the Purchase Agreement is terminated in connection with Holdings’
acceptance of a Superior Proposal or by the Buyer following certain breaches of the go-shop provisions or an adverse recommendation change.
The fee may also become payable following certain terminations relating to the outside date or a breach by Holdings if a qualifying acquisition
proposal was outstanding and Holdings enters into an agreement for, or completes, an alternative acquisition within 12 months following
termination.
SRX may also be required to pay Holdings $750,000
if the Purchase Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances involving SRX’s failure to fund or deliver the required consideration
after the conditions to the Buyer’s obligations to consummate the Transaction have been satisfied, subject to the applicable termination
and cure provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement also provides for reimbursement
of up to $100,000 of the Buyer’s reasonable, documented transaction expenses following certain Company-breach terminations, with
amounts paid credited against a subsequently payable Company termination fee. Subject to the Purchase Agreement, Holdings may elect specific
performance instead of the reverse termination fee, and fraud and willful-breach remedies are preserved.
Closing Conditions
The Closing of the Transaction is conditioned
upon SRX’s acquisition of the shares of Holdings’ Series C, Series D and Series E preferred stock.
The Closing of the Transaction is also conditioned
upon the holders of Holdings’ Series A preferred stock holding the requisite percentage or amount of such preferred stock providing
the applicable waivers or consents and/or converting their Series A preferred stock into Holdings common stock, in each case as specified
in the transaction documents.
In evaluating arrangements to satisfy the Series
A preferred stock closing condition, discussions have occurred regarding potential minority equity participation in a post-closing acquisition
entity; any such arrangements, if finalized, remain subject to definitive documentation, mutual agreement with the applicable preferred
holders, and review by the Special Committee.
Completion remains subject to the satisfaction
or permitted waiver of the applicable closing conditions, including specified consents, the accuracy of representations and warranties,
material compliance with covenants, the absence of specified material adverse effects, the preferred stock arrangements described above,
and delivery of the required transaction documents. Holdings’ conditions include SRX’s funding of the required advances and
delivery of the registration rights agreement providing for registration of the resale of the SRX shares issued to Holdings or their subsequent
distribution to Holdings’ stockholders, and requiring SRX to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain the effectiveness
of the applicable registration statements, subject to the terms of that agreement. The Buyer’s obligations are not subject to a
financing condition.
2
The Purchase Agreement contemplates Closing on
the first business day following the end of the Go-Shop Period on which the closing conditions are satisfied or waived, unless the parties
agree otherwise in writing, subject to the applicable Superior Proposal provisions.
The Holdings board, acting on the unanimous recommendation
of a special committee of independent and disinterested directors, approved the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction. The Purchase Agreement
contemplates the sale of pledged collateral under Section 272 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Pursuant to
Section 272 of the DGCL, the Holdings board determined that the Shares constitute collateral pledged to SRX pursuant to the Pledge Agreement,
that the sale represents an alternative sale of pledged collateral in lieu of foreclosure resulting in the elimination and reduction of
the secured debt, and that the fair market value of the Shares does not exceed the total amount of secured liabilities and obligations
being eliminated, discharged, or assumed by Buyer. Accordingly, no vote or consent of the holders of Holdings common stock is required
under Delaware law to authorize or consummate the Transaction, subject to the satisfaction of the preferred stock closing conditions described
above.
The Purchase Agreement contains representations,
warranties and covenants, including restrictions on the Subsidiary’s conduct before Closing. It contemplates employment agreements
with certain key employees, 180-day lock-up agreements for specified recipients of consideration shares, and registration rights relating
to the SRX shares. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Holdings may obtain, at its cost and expense, a prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance policy covering current and former directors and officers of Holdings and the Subsidiary, funded in part from funds previously
set aside by Holdings for such purpose. In addition, Buyer has unconditionally
guaranteed all indemnification, advancement, and exculpation obligations of the Subsidiary, and effective upon the Closing, Buyer, on
behalf of itself, its affiliates, and the acquired Subsidiary, has agreed to deliver a comprehensive mutual release extinguishing all
pre-closing claims and liabilities against Holdings and its current and former officers, directors, employees, and advisors, with such
individuals designated as express third-party beneficiaries entitled to enforce such protections directly.
The foregoing summary is qualified by the
Purchase Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated by reference.

and validly executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes, or upon execution will constitute, a valid, legal and binding agreement of
Buyer (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto), enforceable against Buyer in accordance

applicable securities Laws, including the Exchange Act , (b) the listing application with the NYSE American contemplated by Section 5.12,
and (c) such Consents the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have an SRX Material Adverse Effect.
Neither the execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will (i) conflict with or violate
the Governing Documents of Buyer, (ii) violate any Law or Order applicable to Buyer, or (iii) result in a breach of, constitute a default
under, or give rise to any right of termination, acceleration or modification of, any material Contract of Buyer, except, in the case
of clauses (ii) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected to have an SRX Material Adverse Effect.

has timely filed or furnished all SRX SEC Reports (or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SRX
SEC Report prior to the expiration of any such extension) required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC. As of their respective
dates (or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment), the SRX SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(b) The
financial statements of SRX included in the SRX SEC Reports were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout
the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and, in the case of unaudited statements, subject to normal year-end

(iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that, at any
time prior to the Closing, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal received after the Go-Shop End Date that
did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.2 and that the Seller Board determines in good faith, after consultation with
its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, Seller may,
if the Seller Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably
be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (x) furnish nonpublic information with
respect to the Company to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (y) participate
in discussions or negotiations with such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal.
26
(e) During

(f) To
the extent that a Superior Proposal is received by Seller prior to the Go-Shop End Date, Seller may terminate this Agreement pursuant

Buyer at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to do so, identifying the Person making the Superior
Proposal, describing its material terms and attaching the most current draft of the proposed definitive agreement therefor; (iii) during
such notice period, if requested by Buyer, Seller has negotiated in good faith with Buyer regarding any revisions to the terms of this
Agreement proposed by Buyer such that the Superior Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal (it being understood that any
material amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice period of two (2) Business Days); (iv) at the end
of such period, the Seller Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel
(and taking into account any revisions proposed by Buyer), that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal;
and (v) Seller pays, or causes to be paid, the applicable Termination Fee concurrently with such termination in accordance with Section
7.3.
(g) Nothing
contained herein shall prevent Seller or the Seller Board from (x) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with
regard to a Acquisition Proposal or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under
the Exchange Act (provided, however, that any statement that could reasonably be construed as a recommendation, endorsement or approval
of any tender or exchange offer shall constitute an adverse Change of Recommendation); (y) making any required disclosure to Seller’s
stockholders if the Seller Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the failure to take such action
would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; or (z) issuing a “stop, look and listen” disclosure
or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act.
(h) Except
as otherwise permitted by this Section 5.2(h), neither the Seller Board nor the Special Committee shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify
or modify, in a manner adverse to Buyer, its approval of this Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable
any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) authorize Seller to enter into any definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal, other
than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (any of the foregoing, a “Change of Recommendation”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, prior to Go-Shop End Date, the Seller Board or the Special Committee may effect a Change of Recommendation in response
to a Superior Proposal if the Seller Board or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor
and outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties
under applicable Law; provided, that Seller shall have complied in all material respects with the notice and matching-right procedures
set forth in Section 5.2(f), mutatis mutandis.

remedy under the SRX Loan Documents, in each case except (x) upon the valid termination of this Agreement or (y) in the case of a payment
default under the SRX Loan Documents arising other than from Buyer’s own failure to fund.
(d) Seller
shall retain and continue to be liable for all Continuing Creditor Obligations.
(e) During
the period from the date of this Agreement until prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to consummate the Preferred

with obtaining any such Consent. Buyer shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, take any action that would reasonably
be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transactions.

Announcements. The initial press release, if any, with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release
in a form agreed by the Parties. Thereafter, no Party shall issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to this
Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Seller (in the case of a statement by a Buyer Party) or Buyer (in the
case of a statement by Seller), except (a) as such Party reasonably determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is required
by applicable Law or the rules of any securities exchange (including the NYSE American, the OTCQB and the SEC), in which case the disclosing
Party shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable Law, provide the other Parties a reasonable opportunity to review and
comment in advance and shall consider any such comments in good faith, or (b) with respect to any disclosure of information concerning
this Agreement or the Transactions in connection with any dispute among the Parties or the go-shop process, or that is consistent with

Documents and under any indemnification agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the current and former directors
and officers of the Company (the “D&O Indemnitees”) with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to
the Closing. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Governing Documents of the Company to contain provisions
with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation that are no less favorable to the D&O Indemnitees than those
in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that
would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the D&O Indemnitees, except as required by applicable Law.
(b) At
or prior to the Closing, Seller shall obtain and fully fund, from Seller’s segregated cash reserves, a fully prepaid “tail”
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the D&O Indemnitees for acts or omissions occurring at or
prior to the Closing, with a customary run-off claims period commencing on the effective date thereof, on terms, conditions, retentions,
and coverage limits no less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s and Seller’s existing policies in effect as of the
date hereof; provided, that such tail policy shall be bound and take effect so as to ensure continuous, uninterrupted coverage with no
lapse or gap between the expiring policy period and the run-off coverage period. Buyer shall cause such tail policy to be maintained in
full force and effect for its full term and shall cause all obligations of the Company thereunder to be honored.
(c) The
obligations under this Section 5.9 shall survive the Closing, are intended to benefit the D&O Indemnitees (each of whom shall be a
third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.9) and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and the Company.
Section 5.10 Amendment
to Secured Note. Within five (5) business days of the date hereof, Buyer shall execute and deliver an amendment to the Secured
Note, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, extending the Maturity Date (as defined in the Secured Note) to the date
that is five (5) business days following the earlier of the Closing Date or the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article
VII.
Section 5.11 Lock-Up;
Transfer Restrictions; Legend Removal.
(a) For
the period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”), Seller agrees not to offer,
sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge, distribute or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or
might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash
settlement or otherwise) with respect to, any shares of SRX Common Stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into,
shares of SRX Common Stock beneficially owned, held or hereafter acquired by Seller, including, without limitation, the Stock Consideration.
30
(b) Certificates
or book-entry positions representing the Stock Consideration may bear customary restrictive legends referencing the Securities Act and
this Section 5.11. SRX shall, and shall instruct its transfer agent to, remove such legends and restrictions promptly (and in any event
within two (2) Business Days) upon the request of the applicable holder at such time as such legend or restriction is no longer required
under applicable securities Laws, including following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and satisfaction of the applicable conditions
of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (including, where applicable, the six (6)-month holding period thereunder) or the effectiveness of
a resale registration statement, in each case subject to delivery of customary representation letters and, if reasonably required, an
opinion of counsel.
Section 5.12 Reserved.

of SRX and Buyer. During the Interim Period, except as required by applicable Law or with the prior written consent of Seller,
neither Buyer Party shall (a) effect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or similar
transaction with respect to the SRX Common Stock without making the equitable adjustment contemplated by Section 2.2(c), (b) amend
its Governing Documents in a manner that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges of the Consideration Shares or the
holders thereof, (c) take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the delisting of the SRX Common Stock from the NYSE
American, or (d) agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

with the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by the Seller. The Party required by applicable Law shall file
all necessary Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, and the other Parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto.
(b) Buyer
shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, make an election under Section 338 of the Code (or any comparable provision of state,
local or non-U.S. Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares without the prior written consent of Seller.
(c) The
Parties shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates reasonably to cooperate, in connection with the filing
of Tax Returns and any audit, examination or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes relating to the Company, including by furnishing or
making available records, information and personnel as reasonably requested.
Section 5.15 Notification
of Certain Matters. During the Interim Period, each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Parties of (a) any notice
or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Entity or any third party alleging that the Consent of such Person
is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, or any material objection to the Transactions, (b) the commencement of any
Proceeding against such Party that relates to the Transactions, and (c) the occurrence of any event that would reasonably be expected
to cause any condition set forth in Article VI not to be satisfied; provided, that the delivery of any such notice shall not (i) cure
any breach or prevent the failure of any condition, or (ii) limit the remedies available to the Party receiving such notice.
31
Section 5.16 Further
Assurances. From time to time, whether before, at or after the Closing, each Party shall, at the reasonable request of another
Party and at the requesting Party’s expense, execute and deliver such additional agreements, documents and instruments and take
such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate and give effect to the Transactions, including (in the case of the Buyer
Parties) the filing of UCC-3 termination statements and other release instruments contemplated by Section 2.4(d).

(c) by
either Seller or Buyer, by written notice to the other, if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued
or entered any Law or Order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions, and such Law or Order

(d) [Reserved.]
(e) by
Buyer, by written notice to Seller, if Seller shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section
6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) and (ii) is not cured within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of written notice thereof (or, if
earlier, the Outside Date); provided, that Buyer shall not have the right to terminate under this Section 7.1(e) if either Buyer Party

(ii) is not cured within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice thereof (or, if earlier, the Outside Date); provided,

and (b) no such termination shall relieve any Party from Liability for Fraud or any Willful Breach of this Agreement occurring prior to

with Section 7.3, shall not limit any remedy available for Fraud or Willful Breach.
Section 7.03 Termination
Fees; Expense Reimbursement.
(a) If
this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(g), or by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(h), then Seller shall pay, or cause

Fee”); or (ii) in any other case, $750,000 (the “Standard Termination Fee”). In no event shall Seller be

(i) this Agreement is terminated by Seller or Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(e), (ii) at or prior
to the time of such termination (or, in the case of Section 7.1(b), after the date of this Agreement) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal
shall have been publicly disclosed or otherwise communicated to Seller and not withdrawn, and (iii) within twelve (12) months after such
termination Seller enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal, then Seller shall pay,
or cause to be paid, to Buyer the Standard Termination Fee concurrently with the earlier of the entry into such definitive agreement and
the consummation of such transaction (less any Expense Reimbursement previously paid pursuant to Section 7.3(c)).
(c) If
this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(e), then Seller shall reimburse Buyer for their reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions, up to a maximum of $100,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement”);
any Expense Reimbursement paid shall be credited against, and shall reduce, any Termination Fee subsequently payable pursuant to Section
7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b).
(d) If
this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(f) under circumstances in which Buyer failed to fund the SRX Loan or deliver
the Consideration when all conditions to Buyer obligations have been satisfied, then SRX shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller a reverse
termination fee equal to $750,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”); provided, that Seller may elect, in lieu of receiving
the Reverse Termination Fee, to pursue the remedy of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.10, but Seller may not both retain
the Reverse Termination Fee and obtain specific performance requiring the Closing to occur.
36
(e) Each
Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these
agreements, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. Any Termination Fee, Reverse Termination Fee or Expense Reimbursement
payable hereunder shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after the date of the applicable
termination (or, in the case of Section 7.3(b), when due thereunder). Except in the case of Fraud or Willful Breach, in the event that
a Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee becomes payable and is paid to the party entitled thereto in accordance with this Section
7.3, such payment shall constitute liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy of the receiving party and its Affiliates against
the paying party and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives in respect of this Agreement and the Transactions, and upon payment
thereof no such Person shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. If a Party fails
to timely pay any amount due under this Section 7.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, the other Party commences a Proceeding that
results in a judgment for such amount, the defaulting Party shall pay the other Party’s reasonable and documented costs and expenses
in connection with such Proceeding, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal in effect
on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only if set forth in a written instrument signed by the Party against whom such waiver
is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any

thereof directly), this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing herein,
express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
under or by reason of this Agreement.
38
Section 8.05 Severability.
If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court or other Governmental Entity of

a mutually acceptable manner.
Section 8.06 Expenses.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 5.9(b), Section 5.12, Section 5.14(a) and Section 7.3), all
fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees and expenses,
whether or not the Transactions are consummated.
Section 8.07 Governing
Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out
of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the
application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
Section 8.08 Jurisdiction;
Venue. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, solely
if such court declines to accept or lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware) in
respect of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, irrevocably waives any objection to the laying
of venue in any such court and any claim that any such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and agrees that service of
process in any such Proceeding may be effected in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.1.
Section 8.09 Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF

PARTY HAS REPRESENTED THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A PROCEEDING.
Section 8.10 Specific
Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, would occur
in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Accordingly,
each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without proof of actual damages and without any requirement to post any bond or other
security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity (subject to Section 7.3(e) to the extent
applicable). Each Party waives any defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
39
Section 8.11 Counterparts;
Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page by email (including
PDF) or other electronic transmission, or by any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act or the Delaware Uniform

that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, may be made only
