## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit** **10.1**

LOAN agreement

This Loan Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2026 ("<u>Agreement</u>"), is among Celularity Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Borrower</u>"), and Philip & Daniele Barach Family Trust (the "<u>Lender</u>" and, together with the Borrower, the "<u>Parties</u>" and each, a "<u>Party</u>").

agreement:

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Interpretation:

This Agreement is to be interpreted in accordance with the rules of construction set forth on <u>Annex A</u>. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth for such terms on <u>Annex A</u>. All annexes, schedules and exhibits to this Agreement are deemed to be a part of this Agreement.

SECTION 2. Loan facility:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 <u>Loan</u>. The Lender shall make a loan (the "<u>Loan</u>") to the Borrower in the principal amount of $1,000,000. The Lender shall make the Loan to the Borrower in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Borrower identified in writing by the Borrower for such purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <u>Evidence of Debt</u>. The Lender shall maintain records evidencing the Borrower's indebtedness resulting from the Loan owing to the Lender, and the entries made in such records are prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein. The Lender's failure to maintain such records or make any entry therein or any error therein does not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents. Upon the Lender's request, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver a promissory note to the Lender to evidence the principal amount of the Loan owing to the Lender, in a form reasonably approved by the Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 <u>Repayment of the Loan</u>. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan in full at the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date or (b) the Borrower's receipt of gross proceeds from a Subsequent Transaction in an amount equal to or greater than the principal amount of the Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 <u>Prepayment of the Loan</u>. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Lender (a "<u>Prepayment Notice</u>") given at least three (3) Business Days before the proposed prepayment date, specifying the date and amount of the prepayment. If a Prepayment Notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay the amount specified in such Prepayment Notice on the prepayment date set forth therein. A Prepayment Notice received after 3:00 p.m. is deemed received on the next Business Day. Amounts repaid or prepaid with respect to the Loan may not be reborrowed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 <u>Interest</u>. The Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at a rate equal to 4.0% per annum. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Lender exercised in writing, the Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan from the date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default has been waived by the Lender in writing at a rate equal to 18.0% per annum, such interest being payable on demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary,
if at any time the interest rate applicable to the Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest
on the Loan under applicable law (collectively, " <u>charges</u> "), exceed the maximum lawful rate (the " <u>Maximum Rate</u> ") that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender in accordance with applicable law, the
rate of interest payable in respect of the Loan, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, is limited to the Maximum Rate.
The Lender shall apply any amount it collected that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate to the reduction of the
outstanding principal amount of the Loan or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time will the interest and charges paid or payable
in respect of the Loan exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) All computations of interest and fees under this Agreement
are made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 <u>Manner of Payment</u>. The Borrower shall make each payment on account of the principal of or interest on the Loan or of any other amounts payable under this Agreement (a) not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment by this Agreement, (b) to the Lender at the Lender's address as set forth in <u>Section 7.5</u> or such other location as the Lender may identify in writing to the Borrower for such purpose, (c) in Dollars and in immediately available funds and (d) without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Any payment received after 3:00 p.m. is deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. If any payment under this Agreement is specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, then the Borrower shall make such payment on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension in such case will be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7 <u>Reserved</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.8 <u>Indemnity</u>. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (each such Person, an "<u>Indemnitee</u>") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of each Loan Document, the performance by the Parties of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) the Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Borrower or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto. The indemnity provided by this <u>Section 2.8</u> is not, as to any Indemnitee, available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations under any Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) result from a claim not involving an act or omission of the Borrower and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee. The Borrower's obligations under this <u>Section 2.8</u> survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Obligations

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.9 <u>Hariri Waiver and Subordination</u>. As a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lender to make the Loan on the Closing Date, Robert J. Hariri, M.D. shall have executed and delivered to the Lender a waiver and subordination agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, pursuant to which Dr. Hariri acknowledges and agrees that any and all Indebtedness, liabilities or other obligations owed by the Borrower to Dr. Hariri, whether now existing or hereafter arising, shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Obligations and that no payment, prepayment, repayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance, setoff or other distribution of any kind shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any such Indebtedness, liabilities or other obligations while any Obligations remain outstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 <u>Creation of Security Interest</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) <u>Grant of Security Interest</u>. The Borrower hereby grants
to the Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges
to the Lender, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof;
provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Collateral shall not include any Excluded
Assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) <u>Authorization to File Financing Statements</u>. The Borrower
hereby authorizes the Lender to file financing statements, without notice to the Borrower, with all jurisdictions deemed necessary or
appropriate by the Lender to protect its interests or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as "all
assets of the Debtor" or words of similar effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) <u>Termination</u>. If this Agreement is terminated, the Lender's
Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and expense reimbursement obligations)
are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and expense reimbursement
obligations), the Lender shall, at the Borrower's sole cost and expense, terminate its security interest in the Collateral and
all rights therein shall revert to the Borrower and the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower's sole cost and expense,
any documentation, releases or other evidence reasonably necessary to evidence the termination of the Lender's security interests
in the Collateral. Any assets of the Borrower transferred to a Person in a transaction not otherwise prohibited hereunder shall be released
from the Lender's Liens and security interests in accordance with the same terms as set forth in this Section, and the Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower's sole cost and expense, any documentation, releases or other evidence reasonably necessary
to evidence the termination of the Lender's security interest in such transferred assets.

and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loan so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon
and all other Obligations accrued hereunder, become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in <u>Section 6.1(G)</u> or <u>Section 6.1(H)</u>, all Obligations automatically become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the
Loan Documents and applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3 <u>Right of Setoff</u>. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by the Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Lender or such Affiliate has made any demand under any Loan Document and although any Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 <u>Application of Payments</u>. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments received on account of the Obligations (including with respect to proceeds of Collateral) may be applied to the Obligations, including the right to reverse and re-apply any such payments or proceeds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 <u>Remedies Cumulative; Waiver</u>. The rights of the Lender (and any collateral agent for the Lender) and its Affiliates under the Loan Documents are in addition to any other right or remedy (including rights of setoff) that the Lender, any such collateral agent or any such Affiliates may have. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right or remedy under the Loan Documents operates as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents, or any abandonment or discontinuance thereof, precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

SECTION 7. miscellaneous:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 <u>Expenses</u>. The Borrower shall pay (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated) and (b) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (i) in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this <u>Section 7.2</u> or (ii) in connection with the Loan, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan. The Borrower's obligations under this <u>Section 7.2</u> survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 <u>Severability</u>. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is, as to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without effecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction does not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4 <u>Integration</u>. The Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5 <u>Notices</u>. All notices and other communications provided for in the Loan Documents must be in writing and delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by email to a Party at its address (or email address) set forth on <u>Annex B</u>. Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, are deemed to have been given when received and notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address are deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement). Any Party may change its address or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6 <u>Amendments; Waivers</u>. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, will be effective unless in writing executed by the Borrower and the Lender, and each such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.7 <u>Successors and Assigns</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender, and the Lender may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 7.7(B)</u> (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto is null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, may be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Parties, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby
and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Any Lender may at any time assign a single assignee all, but
not less than all, of the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including of the Loan at the time owing to it); <u>provided</u> that any such assignment is subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) No consent is required for any assignment to an Affiliate of
the Lender; provided that the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, is required for any assignment to
any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Borrower an Assignment and Assumption. The assignee, if it is not the Lender, shall deliver to the Borrower such written information
as the Borrower may request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) No assignment may be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower's
Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

Subject to the delivery of the applicable Assignment and Assumption to the Borrower, from and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder is a party to this Agreement and has the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder is released from its obligations under this Agreement (and the Lender ceases to be a Party) but continues to be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 2.9</u>, <u>7.2</u> and <u>7.9</u> with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph is treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) <u>Register</u>. The Borrower shall maintain a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and keep a record of the name and address of the Lender and the principal amount of the Loan
owing to the Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register are conclusive
absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as the Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register will be available for inspection by the Lender
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.8 <u>Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The Parties agree that any action or proceeding with respect
to this Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York or the courts of the State of New York and each Party submits to the jurisdiction of such court for the
purpose of any such action, proceeding or judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notice in <u>Section 7.5</u>. Nothing in this Agreement affects the right of any Party to service process in any
other manner permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in <u>Section 7.8(A)</u>. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER REASON).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.9 <u>Waiver of Consequential Damages</u>. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document, the transactions contemplated thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.10 <u>Reinstatement</u>. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied is revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.11 <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different Parties in different counterparts), each of which constitutes an original, but all of which when taken together constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic transmission is as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
