1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On

August 31, 2026, SRX Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it had completed

a secured financing transaction with CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“CERO”). In connection with the transaction, CERO

issued to the Company a Consolidated Senior Secured Promissory Note having an original issue date of August 27, 2026 (the “Note”).

The

Note consolidates certain outstanding convertible grid promissory notes previously issued by CERO, including notes issued to the Company

(collectively, the “Previous Notes”), in the aggregate amount of $5,666,108.77.

The

Note provides for additional advances by the Company to CERO of up to $6,000,000 in the aggregate, inclusive of the initial advance described

below, resulting in a maximum aggregate loan amount of $11,666,108.77. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing

as determined under the terms of the Note, the Note provides for additional funding advances to CERO on the first day of each calendar

month following the original issue date and before the maturity date in the amounts set forth in the Note, reflecting CERO’s budget

attached to the Note. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make additional advances reasonably requested by CERO, subject

to the $6,000,000 aggregate advance limit.

On

August 27, 2026, the date that the Note was executed, the Company funded an initial advance in the gross amount of $775,665.00. CERO

intends to use the proceeds of the advances to pay outstanding trade payables and for working capital purposes. Interest that is not

paid when due may be recorded as an additional advance under the Note.

The

outstanding principal amount of the Note bears interest at 10% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year.

During the existence of an Event of Default, the outstanding obligations bear interest at the lesser of (i) 24.99% per annum and (ii)

the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If the Event of Default is cured, the interest rate returns to 10% per annum.

The

unpaid principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the Note are due and payable on October 15,

2026, unless earlier accelerated or otherwise paid in accordance with the Note. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing, the Company may extend the maturity date for up to four consecutive 30-day periods by providing CERO with at least one business

day’s prior written notice.

Except

in connection with the consummation of a change of control Transaction, CERO may not prepay any amounts outstanding under the Note without

the Company’s prior written consent.

As

security for CERO’s obligations under the Note, CERO entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement with the Company, dated as of

August 27, 2026 (the “Pledge Agreement”). Under the Pledge Agreement, CERO pledged and granted the Company a continuing security

interest in all of CERO’s right, title and interest in the issued and outstanding capital stock of CERo Therapeutics, Inc., CERO’s

wholly owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), together with any additional shares or other equity interests in the Subsidiary

subsequently acquired by CERO and all distributions and proceeds relating to those interests. The security interest created by the Pledge

Agreement is intended to be a first-priority security interest.

The

Subsidiary also entered into an Asset Security Agreement with the Company, dated as of August 27, 2026 (the “Asset Security Agreement”),

pursuant to which the Subsidiary granted the Company a continuing security interest in substantially all of the Subsidiary’s assets.

The collateral includes, among other assets, intellectual property, patents, patent applications, studies, clinical trials, regulatory

applications and other assets relating to CERO’s and the Subsidiary’s CER-T cell therapy business, including CER-1236.

In

addition, pursuant to a Guaranty of Payment dated as of August 27, 2026 (the “Guaranty”), the Subsidiary absolutely, unconditionally

and irrevocably guaranteed the payment and performance of CERO’s obligations under the Note and the other transaction documents,

including principal, interest, fees, enforcement costs and other amounts payable thereunder. The Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and

performance and not merely a guaranty of collection.

Events

of Default under the Note include, among other matters, payment defaults; breaches of covenants, representations or warranties; certain

cross-defaults under other material agreements; bankruptcy and insolvency events; certain judgments, levies or attachments; the incurrence

of unpermitted indebtedness or liens; failure to use proceeds in accordance with CERO’s budget; the occurrence of a Material Adverse

Effect; and the invalidity or unenforceability of a transaction document. Following an Event of Default, the Company may declare all

outstanding principal and other amounts owing under the Note immediately due and payable and may exercise its remedies against the pledged

shares and other collateral.

The

Note was issued to the Company in a private transaction in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2)

of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. The Note has not

been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption

from registration.

The

foregoing descriptions of the Note, the Pledge Agreement, the Asset Security Agreement and the Guaranty do not purport to be complete

and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2,

Section

2. Conclusiveness of Grid; Advances; Interest.

(a) Conclusiveness

of Grid. The Loan represented by this Note is comprised of (i) the unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest

through the Original Issuance Date under, the Previous Notes (which Previous Notes are superseded and replaced in their entirety by,

and are hereby consolidated into, this Note) and (ii) additional borrowings (each such borrowing, an “Advance”)

available, from time to time (the date of each such Advance hereunder a “Funding Date”), to the Company

pursuant to the terms hereof in an aggregate amount of up to $6,000,000 (the “Maximum Advance Amount”),

for an aggregate maximum amount not to exceed the sum of $11,666,108.77 (the “Maximum Loan Amount”).

The Grid shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute conclusive proof of the amounts and dates of all advances and repayment

of principal in respect to the Loan.

(b) Advances.

Provided that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, upon the written request of the Company, the Holder will make Advances

to the Company (i) on the Original Issuance Date, the amount of $775,665.00, (ii) on the first day of each calendar month following the

Original Issuance Date and prior to the Maturity Date, the amount reflected in the Company Budget in row 34 for the corresponding month,

and (iii) in its sole and absolute discretion, in such other amounts as may be reasonably requested by the Company prior to the Maturity

Date (all such Advances not to exceed the Maximum Advance Amount in the aggregate). Upon delivery of the principal amount of any Advance

to the Company hereunder, the Holder is hereby authorized by the Company to enter and record on the Grid the amount of such Advance made

under this Note and each payment of principal hereunder without any further action on the part of Company or any endorser or guarantor

of this Note. To the extent interest is not paid when due, the Holder is authorized and directed to enter the amount of such interest

as an additional Advance on the Grid. The entry of an Advance on said schedule shall be prima facie and presumptive evidence of the entered

Loan and its conditions. The Holder’s failure to make an entry, however, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of

the Holder to advance the principal amount of the Loan or of the Company or any endorser or guarantor of this Note with respect to the

Loan.

(c) Interest.

Interest shall accrue to the Holder on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of this Note at the rate of 10% per annum, calculated

on the basis of a 30-day month and 360-day year and shall accrue daily on the commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in

full of the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become

due hereunder, has been made, whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise. During the existence of an Event of Default,

interest shall accrue at the lesser of (i) the rate of 24.99% per annum, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law (the lesser of clause

(i) or (ii), the “Default Interest Rate”). Once an Event of Default is cured, the interest rate shall

return to 10%.

(d) Payment.

The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts payable under this

Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, if not paid earlier upon acceleration or otherwise.

5

(e) Prepayment.

Other than in connection with the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction, the Company may not prepay any portion of any amount

due hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holder.

Section

3. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

(a)

Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations,

as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge or other fees will be payable for such registration of transfer or

exchange.

(c)

Reliance on Note Register. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this Note, the Company and any agent of the

Company may treat the Person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving

payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent

shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section

4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Holder

as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):

(a) Subsidiaries.

The sole direct and indirect Subsidiary of the Company is CERO Therapeutics Inc. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the

capital stock or other equity interests of the Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens (except for Permitted Liens), and all of the issued

good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with the requisite power and authority to own

and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation

or default of any of the provisions of its respective Certificate or Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational or charter

documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation

or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary,

except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result

in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect

on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries,

taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis

its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).

6

(c) Authorization;

Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated

by this Note and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution

and delivery of this Note and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated

hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further corporate action

is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith or therewith other than

in connection with the Required Approvals (defined below). Subject to obtaining the Required Approvals, this Note and each other Transaction

Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance

with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in

accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws

relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification

and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(d) No

Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Note and the other Transaction Documents to which it is

a party, the issuance and sale of this Note and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and

will not except as set forth on Schedule 4(d) (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s

Certificate or Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a

default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon

any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration

or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing

a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property

or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in

a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority

to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property

or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not

have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Filings,

Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to,

Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest and late fees, as applicable,

on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the

Company.

(c)

(d)

Governing Law. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity,

interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to

any provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any

jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and

federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection

herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in

any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action

or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained

herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall

be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or

operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect

on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce

a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES

NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

23

(e)

Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed

to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company

or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive

that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion.

Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

(f)

Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect,

and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and

circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing

usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under

applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or

in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit

or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted,

now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent

it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to

any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution

of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

(g)

Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative

and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including

a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual

and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that

there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided

for herein with respect to payments and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and

shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company

acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for

any such breach would be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder

shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach,

without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information

and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the

terms and conditions of this Note.

(h)

Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment

shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(i)

Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed

to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(j)

Fees. The Company shall reimburse the Holder a non-accountable amount of $50,000.00 to Meister Seelig & Schuster PLLC, counsel

to the Holder, for all costs and expenses incurred by it or its affiliates in connection with the structuring, documentation, negotiation

and closing of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and such amount shall be withheld by the Holder from its initial

Advance under this Note.

(h)

not change its legal name, jurisdiction of organization, organizational form or chief executive office; and

(i)

not relocate any material tangible Collateral from the location specified on Exhibit A unless Grantor provides Secured Party at

least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and takes all actions reasonably requested by Secured Party to preserve the perfection

and priority of its security interest.

7.

Rights and Remedies Following Default.

(a)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured

party under the UCC and other applicable law, regardless of the jurisdiction in which all or any portion of the Collateral may be located,

and may, but shall not be obligated to: (i) take possession of the Collateral, with or without judicial process; (ii) require Grantor

to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place reasonably designated by Secured Party; (iii) collect, enforce,

settle or compromise any accounts, contract rights, instruments or other rights to payment included in the Collateral; (iv) exercise

all rights, powers and remedies of an owner with respect to the Collateral; and (v) sell, lease, license, assign or otherwise dispose

of all or any part of the Collateral at any public or private disposition.

(b)

Secured Party shall give Grantor at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public disposition

or the time after which any private disposition or other intended disposition is to be made, and such notice shall be deemed commercially

reasonable. Any disposition may be for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and at such price or

prices and on such terms as Secured Party shall determine, subject to the UCC and other applicable law.

(c)

At any public disposition, and at any private disposition to the extent permitted by applicable law, Secured Party may bid for and purchase

the whole or any part of the Collateral so disposed of, free from any right or equity of redemption.

(d)

Neither failure nor delay on the part of Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege provided for herein or by statute

or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or

privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Secured Party’s

rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

8.

Authorization; Power of Attorney. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file

in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate Secured Party

has a security interest in the Collateral and (b) provide any other information required by the UCC of any jurisdiction for the sufficiency

or filing-office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. Grantor hereby appoints Secured Party as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact,

with full power of substitution, to take any action and execute any instrument in Grantor’s name that Secured Party reasonably

deems necessary to preserve, perfect or enforce its security interest or exercise its rights under this Agreement; provided that, other

than the filing of financing statements and amendments, Secured Party shall exercise such power of attorney only during the continuance

of an Event of Default. This appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

9.

Secured Party’s Performance. If Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform,

or cause the performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith shall constitute

Obligations. Secured Party shall have no obligation to perform any such agreement.

10.

Standard of Care. Secured Party shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession.

Secured Party shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted with respect to the Collateral except to the extent resulting from

its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

11.

Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied

in the following order of priority: (a) first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other realization, including reasonable attorneys’

fees and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Secured Party in connection therewith, and any other unreimbursed

expenses for which Secured Party is to be reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement; (b) second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest

on the Note; (c) third, to the payment of principal outstanding under the Note; (d) fourth, to the payment of any other Obligations;

and (e) finally, any surplus then remaining after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash shall be paid to Grantor

or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Grantor shall remain liable to Secured Party for any deficiency remaining after the

application of such proceeds.

12.

No Marshaling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any collateral or other assets in favor of Grantor or any other

person or to proceed against any collateral or person in any particular order.

13.

Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement creates a continuing security interest and shall remain in effect notwithstanding

any extension, renewal, amendment, restatement or other modification of the Note or any waiver or forbearance by Secured Party, except

as otherwise expressly provided in a written agreement signed by Secured Party.

14.

Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate when all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full

and any commitment of Secured Party to extend credit under the Note has terminated. Promptly thereafter, Secured Party shall, at Grantor’s

expense, return any Collateral in its possession and execute and deliver reasonable UCC termination statements and other releases, in

each case without representation, warranty or recourse.

15.

Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered in the manner specified

in the Note.

16.

Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement binds Grantor and its successors and permitted assigns and benefits Secured Party and

its successors and assigns. Grantor may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without Secured

Party’s prior written consent. Secured Party may assign this Agreement together with an assignment of the Note in accordance with

the Note.

17.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all claims arising hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New

York, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles that would require application of another jurisdiction’s laws, except to the

extent that applicable law mandatorily governs the creation, perfection, priority or enforcement of the security interest in the Collateral.

Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in The City of New York, Borough

of Manhattan and waives any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens.

18.

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO

A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY

OR THEREBY.

19.

Amendments; Waivers; Entire Agreement. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement is effective unless set forth

in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No waiver of any breach shall be deemed a waiver of any other or

subsequent breach. This Agreement and the Note constitute the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and

thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings concerning such subject matter.

20.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be

ineffective in that jurisdiction only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without affecting the remaining provisions

hereof or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

21.

of which together constitute one instrument. Signatures delivered electronically or in PDF format shall be effective as originals.

CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pledgor”), and SRX Global Inc. (f/k/a SRx Health Solutions,

Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Secured Party”).

WHEREAS,

Secured Party has agreed to make a secured loan to Pledgor pursuant to that certain Consolidated Senior Secured Promissory Note, dated

as of August 27, 2026, made by Pledgor in favor of Secured Party in the original principal amount of $11,666,108.77 (as amended, restated,

WHEREAS,

Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the shares of capital stock of CERo Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”),

WHEREAS,

as a condition to Secured Party’s making the loan evidenced by the Note, Pledgor has agreed to pledge the Pledged Collateral to

Secured Party to secure the Obligations, all on the terms set forth herein.

NOW,

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which

are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such perfection, effect or priority.

2.

Grant of Security Interest. As security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations (as defined in

Section 3), Pledgor hereby pledges and grants to Secured Party a continuing security interest in all of Pledgor’s right, title

and interest in and to the Pledged Collateral. The security interest granted hereby is intended to be a first-priority security interest.

3.

Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the security interest and rights of Secured Party in the Pledged Collateral secure the

prompt and complete payment and performance of all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other amounts now or hereafter owing

by Pledgor to Secured Party under the Note or this Agreement, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in

enforcing or protecting Secured Party’s rights under the Note or this Agreement, and all renewals, extensions, amendments, restatements

and other modifications of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Obligations”).

4.

Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and warrants to Secured Party as of the date hereof and on each date on which

credit is extended under the Note that:

(a)

Pledgor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate

power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the Note and to grant the security interest created hereby.

(b)

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Note by Pledgor, including the pledge of the Pledged Collateral, have

been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

(c)

Pledgor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Shares described on Schedule I, free and clear of all Liens, and has good

and marketable title thereto and the right to pledge and grant a security interest therein.

(d)

The Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. The information set forth on Schedule

I is true, complete and correct, and the Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Issuer.

(e)

There are no outstanding options, warrants, conversion rights, subscriptions or other rights to acquire capital stock or other equity

interests of the Issuer, and no person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right or similar right with respect to the Pledged

Shares.

(f)

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Note and the creation and enforcement of the security interest contemplated

hereby do not violate Pledgor’s or the Issuer’s organizational documents or any material agreement binding on Pledgor, the

Issuer or the Pledged Collateral, and do not require any consent that has not been obtained.

(g)

No financing statement, control agreement or other instrument covering any Pledged Collateral is on file or in effect in favor of any

person other than Secured Party.

(h)

Upon the delivery of any certificated Pledged Shares to Secured Party together with an effective endorsement or stock power, or upon

Secured Party otherwise obtaining control of any uncertificated Pledged Shares, and the filing of appropriate financing statements, the

security interest created hereby will be perfected to the extent perfection may be accomplished by such actions.

5.

Delivery; Perfection.

(a)

If any Pledged Shares are represented by certificates, Pledgor shall deliver to Secured Party, on or before the date hereof, the original

certificates representing such Pledged Shares, accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank. Pledgor shall promptly deliver

any certificate representing additional or replacement Pledged Shares received after the date hereof, together with an undated stock

power duly executed in blank.

(b)

If any Pledged Shares are uncertificated, Pledgor shall cause the Issuer to execute and deliver an issuer acknowledgment and control

agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party and take such other actions as Secured Party may reasonably

request to give Secured Party control of such Pledged Shares under the applicable UCC, without transferring record ownership to Secured

Party before an Event of Default.

(c)

Pledgor authorizes Secured Party to file financing statements and amendments describing the Pledged Collateral in any filing office reasonably

deemed appropriate by Secured Party. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties anticipate that a UCC-1 financing statement will be

filed against Pledgor in Delaware.

6.

Voting Rights and Distributions Before Default. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may exercise

all voting and consensual rights relating to the Pledged Shares and receive and retain ordinary cash dividends and distributions thereon,

in each case only to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement or the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all stock dividends, securities,

non-cash distributions and other property received in respect of the Pledged Shares shall constitute Pledged Collateral and shall be

delivered to Secured Party as provided herein.

7.

Rights and Remedies Following Default.

(a)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured

party under the UCC, regardless of the jurisdiction in which all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral may be located, and may, but

shall not be obligated to: (i) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise any of the Pledged Collateral and endorse, receive and receipt

for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Pledged

Collateral; (ii) enter into any compromise, settlement, extension or other agreement pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or deposit,

surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in exchange for the Pledged Collateral, or extend the time for or modify the terms and

conditions governing the drawing, presentation, negotiation or acceptance of drafts or other instruments; (iii) take immediate possession

of the Pledged Collateral and transfer the Pledged Collateral to Secured Party’s own name; (iv) exercise all the rights, powers

and remedies of an owner with respect to the Pledged Collateral; and (v) sell, resell, assign and deliver all or, from time to time,

any part of the Pledged Collateral, or any interest in or option or right to purchase any part thereof, on any securities exchange on

which the Pledged Collateral may be listed, at any private sale or at public auction. Secured Party shall give Pledgor at least ten (10)

Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other

intended disposition is to be made, and such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. Any sale may be for cash, on credit or for

other property, for immediate or future delivery, and at such price or prices and on such terms as Secured Party shall determine, subject

to the UCC and other applicable law.

(b)

At any public sale, and at any private sale to the extent permitted by applicable law, Secured Party may bid for and purchase the whole

or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold, free from any right or equity of redemption.

(c)

Pledgor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain

prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or in the rules and regulations

promulgated thereunder or in applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted

group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment

and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor understands that private sales so made may be at prices and on other

terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged Collateral were sold at public sale, and agrees that Secured Party has no obligation

to delay the sale of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registration of the Pledged Collateral for

public sale under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws. Pledgor agrees that a private sale or sales made under

the foregoing circumstances and otherwise complying with the UCC shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

(d)

Neither failure nor delay on the part of Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege provided for herein or by statute

or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or

privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(e)

Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all rights and remedies of Secured

Party at law or in equity.

8.

Covenants. Until this Agreement terminates, Pledgor shall:

(a)

not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, redeem or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or Lien on, any Pledged Collateral, except

as expressly permitted in writing by Secured Party;

(b)

defend its title to the Pledged Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein against all claims and demands of all

persons;

(c)

cause the Issuer not to issue additional capital stock or other equity interests, options, warrants or convertible securities, or effect

any recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, dissolution or other transaction that would dilute or materially impair

the Pledged Collateral, without Secured Party’s prior written consent;

(d)

cause the Issuer to maintain its corporate name, preserve its corporate existence and maintain complete and accurate stock ledgers and

capitalization records;

(e)

promptly notify Secured Party of any claim, Lien, levy, attachment or other adverse interest asserted against any Pledged Collateral;

(f)

pay when due all taxes, assessments and charges imposed on the Pledged Collateral, except those being contested in good faith by appropriate

proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established; and

(g)

not change its legal name, jurisdiction of organization or organizational form.

9.

Authorization to File Financing Statements. Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time

to file in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate Secured

Party has a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and (b) provide any other information required by the UCC of any jurisdiction

for the sufficiency or filing-office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. Pledgor hereby appoints Secured Party as Pledgor’s

attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, solely for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking

any action and executing any UCC financing statement necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment

is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

10.

Further Assurances. Pledgor shall, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver such additional instruments, stock powers, control

agreements, financing statements and other documents, and take such other actions, as Secured Party may reasonably request to create,

preserve, perfect, protect or enforce the security interest and rights created hereby. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained

herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses incurred by Secured

Party in connection therewith shall constitute Obligations.

11.

Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall

be applied in the following order of priority: (a) first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other realization, including reasonable

attorneys’ fees and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Secured Party in connection therewith, and any other

unreimbursed expenses for which Secured Party is to be reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement; (b) second, to the payment of accrued and

unpaid interest on the Note; (c) third, to the payment of principal outstanding under the Note; (d) fourth, to the payment of any other

Obligations; and (e) finally, any surplus then remaining after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash shall be paid

to Pledgor or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Pledgor shall remain liable to Secured Party for any deficiency remaining

after the application of such proceeds.

12.

No Marshaling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any collateral or other assets in favor of Pledgor or any other

person or to proceed against any collateral or person in any particular order.

13.

Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement creates a continuing security interest and shall remain in effect notwithstanding

any extension, renewal, amendment, restatement or other modification of the Note or any waiver or forbearance by Secured Party, except

as otherwise expressly provided in a written agreement signed by Secured Party.

14.

Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate when all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full

and any commitment of Secured Party to extend credit under the Note has terminated. Promptly thereafter, Secured Party shall, at Pledgor’s

expense, return any Pledged Collateral in its possession and execute and deliver reasonable UCC termination statements and other releases,

in each case without representation, warranty or recourse.

15.

Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered in the manner specified

in the Note.

16.

Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement binds Pledgor and its successors and permitted assigns and benefits Secured Party and

its successors and assigns. Pledgor may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without Secured

Party’s prior written consent. Secured Party may assign this Agreement together with an assignment of the Note in accordance with

the Note.

17.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all claims arising hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New

York, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles that would require application of another jurisdiction’s laws, except to the

extent that applicable law mandatorily governs the creation, perfection, priority or enforcement of the security interest in the Pledged

Collateral. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the City of New York, Borough

of Manhattan and waives any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens.

18.

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO

A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY

OR THEREBY.

19.

Amendments; Waivers; Entire Agreement. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement is effective unless set forth

in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No waiver of any breach shall be deemed a waiver of any other or

subsequent breach. This Agreement and the Note constitute the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and

thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings concerning such subject matter.

20.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be

ineffective in that jurisdiction only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without affecting the remaining provisions

hereof or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

21.

Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all

of which together constitute one instrument. Signatures delivered electronically or in PDF format shall be effective as originals.

and Enforceability of Transaction Documents. The Note, this Guaranty, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and each other

agreement, instrument and document, if any, executed and delivered by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with the Loans (as the same

may be amended, modified, restated, renewed, replaced, supplemented or extended in accordance with their terms, collectively, the “Transaction

Documents”) have been duly authorized and executed by Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, and constitute legal, valid and

binding obligations of Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms,

subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other legal or equitable principles now or hereafter in effect generally

affecting creditors’ rights and remedies.

2. Obligations

Guaranteed. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the due and punctual payment and performance

of the following obligations, in each case when due under the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”):

(a) the

outstanding principal amount of all Loans and advances made under or evidenced by the Note and all interest, liquidated damages, late

fees and other amounts that accrue or become due thereon or in respect thereof in accordance with the Note, in each case when due at

stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise;

(b) all

other payment and performance obligations of Borrower under the Note and the other Transaction Documents to which Borrower is a party;

(c) all

reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in enforcing or protecting

Lender’s rights under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law (collectively,

the “Expenses”); and

(d) all

renewals, extensions, amendments, restatements and other modifications of any of the foregoing; provided that, subject to Section 8 of

this Guaranty, this Guaranty shall terminate when all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash

and any commitment of Lender to extend credit under the Note has terminated.

3. Unconditional

Guaranty. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection

and is not conditioned upon any attempt to enforce Lender’s rights against Borrower or to realize upon the Collateral or any other

security. Lender may proceed against Guarantor upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default under the Note after expiration

of any applicable notice and cure period, without first proceeding against Borrower or exercising any right or remedy under the Transaction

Documents. Guarantor waives and releases any claim (within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 101) against Borrower arising from a payment

by Guarantor under this Guaranty and agrees not to exercise any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement right until the Guaranteed

Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash and any commitment of Lender to extend credit under the Note has

terminated. Lender may exercise all rights and remedies available under this Guaranty, the other Transaction Documents or applicable

law to collect amounts then due and payable hereunder or to compel performance of obligations then required to be performed hereunder,

subject in all cases to the terms of the Transaction Documents.

4. Liability

Unimpaired. Guarantor’s liability shall not be limited or impaired by: (i) any extension, renewal, forbearance, amendment or

modification of the Note or any other Transaction Document made in accordance with its terms; (ii) any settlement or compromise with,

or release of, Borrower or any other Person liable for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any failure by Lender to exercise, or delay

by Lender in exercising, any right or remedy under any Transaction Document; (iv) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in

whole or in part, of the Note, any other Transaction Document or any obligation of Borrower thereunder; or (v) any other action or circumstance

that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment and performance

in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of any commitment of Lender to extend credit under the Note. Nothing

in this Section shall expand Guarantor’s liability beyond the Guaranteed Obligations.

2

5. Defined

Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guaranty have the meanings given to them in the Note. As used herein, the following

terms have the meanings set forth below:

(a) “Security

Agreement” means that certain Asset Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Guarantor and Lender, as

amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms.

(b) “Affiliate”

means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control

with such Person; and “control” means the direct or indirect power to direct or cause the direction of the management and

policies of a Person, whether through ownership, contract or otherwise.

Costs” means the Expenses and any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in enforcing this Guaranty,

including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(d) “Person”

means any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, unincorporated association,

governmental authority or other entity.

6. Preservation

of Transaction Documents. Guarantor will not cause or permit Borrower to take or fail to take any action for the purpose of impairing

the enforceability of the Transaction Documents or the security interest created by the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement or

creating a defense to Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, subject to Borrower’s and Guarantor’s express rights under

the Transaction Documents.

7. Payments;

Certain Waivers. Guarantor waives presentment, demand (except any demand expressly required by the Note), protest, notice of acceptance

of this Guaranty and notice of default (except any notice expressly required by the Note), and any requirement that Lender first proceed

against Borrower or realize upon the Collateral or any other security before proceeding against Guarantor. Guarantor also waives any

right to require a marshalling of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s assets. Guarantor retains any rights of subrogation, contribution,

indemnification, set-off or reimbursement that Guarantor may have against Borrower; provided that Guarantor shall not exercise any such

right, and each such right shall be subordinate to Lender’s rights, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid

and performed in full in cash and any commitment of Lender to extend credit under the Note has terminated.

8. Reinstatement.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated automatically, as applicable, if any payment of a Guaranteed Obligation

is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise in connection with

an insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, as though such payment had not been made. In that

event, all reasonable Enforcement Costs incurred by Lender in defending or enforcing such continuance or reinstatement shall be included

in the Expenses guaranteed under Section 2.

9. Litigation;

Compliance with Judgments. Guarantor represents and warrants that there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Guarantor’s

knowledge, threatened against Guarantor, at law, in equity or before any governmental authority, that would reasonably be expected to

have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. To Guarantor’s knowledge, Guarantor

is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or governmental authority that would reasonably

be expected to have such an effect.

3

10. Authorization

and Enforceability; No Conflicts. Guarantor represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into and perform

its obligations under this Guaranty; the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been authorized by all necessary corporate

action; and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance

with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other legal or equitable principles now or hereafter

in effect generally affecting creditors’ rights and remedies. Guarantor further represents and warrants that the execution, delivery

and performance of this Guaranty do not and will not violate Guarantor’s organizational documents, applicable law or any material

agreement binding on Guarantor or its assets.

11. Compliance

with Laws. Guarantor represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty do not and will not violate

any applicable federal, state, provincial or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination

or award, or require any filing, registration, consent or approval thereunder, except for any filing, registration, consent or approval

that has been made or obtained and remains in full force and effect.

12. Accuracy

of Information; Full Disclosure. Guarantor represents and warrants that no document, financial statement, report, notice, schedule,

certificate, statement or other writing furnished by or on behalf of Guarantor to Lender in connection with this Guaranty or the Loans

contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light

of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case as of the date furnished.

13. Non-Waiver;

Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document shall

operate as a waiver thereof or constitute acquiescence in any default by Borrower or Guarantor. A waiver on one occasion shall not bar

the exercise of any right or remedy on a future occasion. Subject to the Transaction Documents, the rights and remedies provided in the

Transaction Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

14. Transfers

of Interests in Loans. Lender may sell, assign or transfer the Note, this Guaranty, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement

or any interest therein only as permitted by the Note and the Security Agreement. Guarantor consents to Lender’s disclosure of

the Transaction Documents and information relating to Borrower, Guarantor or the Collateral to any prospective or actual transferee in

connection with a transfer permitted by the Note and the Security Agreement, subject to applicable law and customary confidentiality

obligations.

15. Subordination

of Guarantor Loans. Any indebtedness now or hereafter owed by Borrower to Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor is and shall remain

subordinate to the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor shall not accept any payment of principal or interest on such indebtedness to the

extent prohibited by Section 6(d) or any other applicable provision of the Note. This Section shall cease to apply when the Guaranteed

Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash and any commitment of Lender to extend credit under the Note has

terminated.

16. Severability.

If any provision of this Guaranty, or its application to any Person or circumstance, is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,

such provision shall be ineffective in that jurisdiction only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating

the remaining provisions of this Guaranty or the application of such provision to any other Person, circumstance or jurisdiction.

17. Entire

Agreement; Amendments. This Guaranty contains the entire agreement of Guarantor and Lender with respect to its subject matter and

supersedes all prior oral or written agreements or statements relating to such subject matter. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived,

amended or terminated except by a written instrument signed by Guarantor and Lender.

4

18. Successors

and Assigns. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender

and its successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Guaranty nor any right hereunder may be assigned or transferred except in connection

with a transfer of the Note permitted by the Note and, as applicable, the Security Agreement.

19. Jurisdiction;

Waiver of Trial by Jury. Guarantor irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The

City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty, any other

Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any objection

based on personal jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens. Nothing contained herein limits any right to serve process in any manner

permitted by law or precludes Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to collect the Guaranteed

Obligations, realize on the Collateral or any other security, or enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of Lender. GUARANTOR

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING

OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

20. Provisional

Remedies; Enforcement. Without limiting Section 19, Lender may seek temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, specific

performance or other equitable remedies from any court having jurisdiction and may enforce any judgment or other court ruling in any

jurisdiction.

21. Governing

Law. This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation

and performance of this Guaranty shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision

or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

22. Section

Headings. The section headings and captions in this Guaranty are for convenience only and do not affect its interpretation or construction.

23. Liability

Unaffected by Release. Except for the indefeasible payment and performance in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination

Exhibit 99.1

SRX

Global Acquires Senior Secured Debt in CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., an Innovative Cellular Immunotherapy Company with Cancer Fighting

Molecule for the Treatment of Hematologic Cancers

The

Debt investment is expected to accelerate development of CERo’s lead therapeutic CER-1236 for hematological cancers

NORTH

PALM BEACH, FL – August 31, 2026 – SRX Global Inc. (NYSE American: SRXH) (the “Company” or “SRX”),

an AI-enabled platform dedicated to generating long-term shareholder value through investments in high-conviction operating companies

and strategic assets, today announced that it has purchased senior secured debt in CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CERO) (“CERo

Holdings” and, together with CERo Therapeutics, “CERo”), an innovative cellular immunotherapy company advancing next

generation engineered T cell therapeutics that employ phagocytic mechanisms. The investment is expected to provide CERo with additional

capital to accelerate the advancement of its clinical programs.

SRX

Global CEO Kent Cunningham stated, “This secured investment reflects our strategy of investing in high-conviction operating companies

with differentiated assets and meaningful long-term value creation potential. CERo’s novel approach to engineered T cell therapeutics

with multifunctional tumor clearing, and the clinical progress the team has made with CER-1236, make it a compelling addition to our

platform.

“We

expect this investment to provide CERo with enhanced access to capital and broader operational resources to support the continued advancement

of CER-1236 and its broader R&D efforts.”

To

date, CERo has treated six patients in the ongoing Phase 1 CERTAIN-T trial. In the most recent cohort of three patients, CER-1236 was

administered at an increased dose level, with no dose-limiting toxicities (“DLTs”) observed during the DLT assessment period.

As previously reported, CERo has also observed expansion of infused CER-1236 cells following administration, and the company continues

to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of CER-1236 as the study advances through dose escalation.

CERo

has initiated the third planned cohort of the CERTAIN-T study, which is expected to evaluate the planned one billion cells/patient protocol

and is currently screening patients for enrollment. The cohort is also expected to include patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (“MDS”)

and myelofibrosis (“MF”), reflecting CERo’s strategy to further evaluate CER-1236 in additional myeloid disease settings.

About

the CERTAIN-T Trial

The

first-in-human, multicenter, open-label Phase 1/1b CERTAIN-T study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics,

pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity of CER-1236 in patients with hematologic malignancies. The study initially enrolled

patients with acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”), including relapsed/refractory AML, measurable residual disease AML, and newly

diagnosed TP53-mutated AML, and has since expanded to include transfusion-dependent myelodysplastic syndromes (“TD-MDS”),

high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (“HR-MDS”), and post-JAK inhibitor myelofibrosis (“MF”). Primary endpoints

include safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints include pharmacokinetics and measures of clinical response, including overall response

rate (“ORR”), complete response (“CR”), composite complete response (“cCR”), and measurable residual

disease (“MRD”).
