Waiver Agreement between La Rosa Holdings Corp. and Note Holder (May 23, 2025)
This agreement is between La Rosa Holdings Corp. and a note holder. The holder agrees to temporarily waive certain rights related to defaults and registration requirements under previous agreements, specifically due to the company's delay in filing its Q1 2025 financial report. The waiver lasts until May 30, 2025, and also modifies the timing and scope of required share registration. The company will reimburse the holder's legal fees. All other terms of the original agreements remain in effect.
Exhibit 10.1
WAIVER AGREEMENT
THIS WAIVER AGREEMENT (the “Waiver”) is dated this 23rd day of May, 2025, by and between La Rosa Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) and [*] (the “Holder”).
WHEREAS, the Holder beneficially owns and holds (i) a senior secured convertible note of the Company in an aggregate principal amount as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Original Note”), which was issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2025 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “SPA”), by and among the Company and the Holder and (ii) certain incremental note purchase warrants (the “Incremental Warrants”) to purchase additional senior secured convertible promissory notes of the Company (the “Incremental Notes” and, together with the Original Note, the “SPA Notes”) as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, issuable pursuant to the SPA. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the SPA.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to file a registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) providing for the resale by the Holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount, including Incremental Conversion Shares.
WHEREAS, as of the date of this Waiver the Company has not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2025 with the SEC (“Q1 2025 Quarterly Report”), which is considered an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 4(a)(viii) of the SPA and of the Original Note.
WHEREAS, with respect to Q1 2025 Quarterly Report, the Holder desires to waive until May 30, 2025 (the “Q1 2025 Quarterly Report Waiver End Date”) all rights to all default penalties, default interest, and acceleration of any amounts under the Original Note, and any other rights resulting from the Event of Default under the SPA, the Original Note, Incremental Warrants, and other Transaction Documents.
WHEREAS, the Holder desires to waive, in part, to the extent set forth herein, Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the requirement to register for resale by the Holder on the Initial Registration Statement, the Incremental Conversion Shares.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holder hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Waiver.
1.1 Required Registration Amount Waiver. Effective as of the date hereof, the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees to waive, in part, Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement such that the Initial Registration Statement shall only be required to register for resale by the Holder the number of Conversion Shares underlying the Original Note; provided, that the Company hereby agrees to file subsequent registration statements within thirty (30) calendar days following the issuance of any Incremental Notes pursuant to the exercise or call of an Incremental Warrant, registering for resale by the Holder all Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of any such Incremental Notes, which shall become a Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) for such registration statements. The Holder hereby irrevocably agrees to waive its right to receive any Registration Delay Payments (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) based on the failure to register all Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of any Incremental Notes pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement.
1.2 Effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1(e) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Filing Deadline with respect to the next amendment to the Initial Registration Statement shall be June 4, 2025.
1.3 Event of Default Waiver. Effective as of May 20, 2025, the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees to waive until the Q1 2025 Quarterly Report Waiver End Date all rights to all default penalties, default interest, and acceleration of any amounts under the Original Note, and any other rights resulting from the Event of Default under the SPA, the Original Note, Incremental Warrants, and other Transaction Documents, with respect to Q1 2025 Quarterly Report.
Section 2. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Waiver shall be construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law or choice of law that would permit or require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
