This Leak Out Agreement (the “Leak-Out Agreement”) is dated as of May 24, 2024 and is by and between La Rosa Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation, whose address is 1420 Celebration Boulevard, 2nd Floor, Celebration, Florida 34747 (the “Company”), and Frank Delesline III, whose address is 5439 Hyde Park Avenue, Orlando, FL 32808 (the “Holder”). Each of the Company and the Holder is a “party” to this Agreement, and together, they are the “parties” hereto.
Reference is hereby made to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement between the Company, La Rosa Realty Success LLC, and the Holder dated May 24, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Holder is to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Holder agrees hereby to sell the Common Stock received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement only as permitted hereby during the Leak Period (defined below). Any other sales shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
The Holder agrees with the Company that the leak out period (the “Leak-Out Period”). shall start on the date that is the 181st day after the date of the closing (the “Closing Date”) of the acquisition per the Purchase Agreement, which should be the date when the Company issues to the Holder the shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement(the “Start Date”) and shall end at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date that is 366 days following the Start Date (“End Date”). So, for a hypothetical example, if the Closing Date is January 1, 2025, the Start Date of the Leak Out Period would be July 1, 2025 and the End Date of the Leak Out Period would be July 2, 2026. During the Leak Out Period, the Holder shall be entitled to sell, dispose, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate or enter into any such transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, (including, without limitation, any sales, short sales, swaps or any derivative transactions that would be equivalent to any sales or short positions) (each a “Disposition”) an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the total amount of the shares of Company’s Common Stock that Holder has received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement per calendar month. (So, for example, if the Holder received 120 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder could, during the Leak Out Period, sell up to 10 shares of Common Stock per calendar month). After the End Date, the Holder would not have any restriction on the number of shares that may be subject to Disposition.
The Holder understands and agrees that that the Common Stock received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission provide in substance that the Holder may dispose of the Common Stock only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the undersigned understands that the Company has no obligation or intention to register any of the shares of Common Stock obtained under the Purchase Agreement or the offering or sale thereof, or to take action so as to permit offers or sales pursuant to the Securities Act or an exemption from registration thereunder (including pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder).
