On October 10, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Surna Inc. (the “Company”) approved an employment agreement between the Company and Brandy M. Keen, the Company’s Vice President, Secretary and Senior Technical Advisor (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement supersedes and replaces that certain employment agreement between the Company and Ms. Keen dated July 25, 2014, which expired by its terms on July 25, 2017.
The initial term of the Employment Agreement commenced on October 1, 2017 and will continue until December 31, 2019. However, the Company and Ms. Keen may terminate the Employment Agreement, at any time, with or without cause, by providing the other party with 30-days’ prior written notice. In the event Ms. Keen’s employment is terminated by the Company during the initial term without cause, Ms. Keen will be entitled to receive her base salary for an additional 30 days. Following the initial term, the Company and Ms. Keen may extend the Employment Agreement for additional one-year terms by mutual written agreement.
Ms. Keen will receive an annualized base salary of $150,000. During the initial term, Ms. Keen will be eligible to participate in the Company’s sales incentive program for sales personnel, as in effect and as amended from time to time by the Company (the “Sales Program”). In connection with the Sales Program, Ms. Keen will be entitled to a sales incentive equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the revenue collected and earned from the Company’s sales, payable quarterly in arrears.
Subject to the approval of the independent members of the Board, Ms. Keen may be eligible to participate in the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The independent members of the Board have not approved Ms. Keen’s participation in the EIP, and Ms. Keen has not been granted, nor does Ms. Keen hold, any equity awards under the EIP.
