Litigation

On July 9, 2021 the Company and Direct Solar America served a complaint (the “Company Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona against Pablo Diaz Curiel, Kjelsey Johnson, and Brian Odle alleging, amongst other things, that the aforementioned individuals: (i) Interference with Direct Solar America’s existing and prospective business opportunities; (ii) made unauthorized use of, claims of ownership, and/or offers for sale under direct Solar America’s commercial identity; (iii) Misappropriated trade secrets of Direct Solar America; (iv) Breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement originally entered into between the Company and Mr. Diaz and Ms. Johnson (against Mr. Diaz and Ms. Johnson); and (v) Breach of the Employment Agreement originally entered into between Direct Solar America and Mr. Diaz (against Mr. Diaz).

Also on July 9, 2021 the Company was served with a Complaint by Mr. Diaz (and certain other parties) against the Company and certain officers (and former officers) of the Company alleging, amongst other things: fraud, interference, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract (“Diaz Complaint”).

On August 6, 2021, the Company obtained a Preliminary Injunction against Pablo Diaz Curiel and Kjelsey Johnson enjoining them from using any information specific to Direct Solar America that was the subject of the Asset Purchase Agreement originally entered into between the Company and Mr. Diaz and Ms. Johnson. This includes among other things 1) any specific customer information; 2) price lists; 3) accounts; 4) web pages; and 5) similar specifically identifiable property. The Preliminary Injunction further prohibits Mr. Diaz and Ms. Johnson from reselling, disclosing or otherwise using Direct Solar America trademarks, client lists or other proprietary data.

On August 11, 2021, an Order was issued consolidating the Company Complaint and the Diaz Complaint which results in the two legal actions being consolidated into one matter, and requiring them to refile their Complaint as a counterclaim.

In May 2018 the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Greg Lambrecht. The agreement provided that Mr. Lambrecht would serve as CEO and CFO of the Company for a term of three years at an annual salary of $220,000, and an incentive bonus as determined by the board of directors. The agreement shall automatically be renewed for additional three-year periods unless either party has provided written termination of this Agreement at least 90 days prior to the expiration of such term. Greg Lambrecht resigned as CFO of the Company in January 2020. If employment is terminated as a result of his death or Disability (as defined in the agreement), the Company shall pay, his Base Salary (as defined in the agreement) and any accrued but unpaid Bonus (as defined in the agreement) and expense reimbursement amounts through the date of his Death or Disability and a lump sum payment equal to two years of Base Salary (at the time his Death or Disability occurs) within 30 days of his Death or Disability. In the event the Company does not have the cash flow to pay such amount within 30 days as set forth above, the Company may make such payments over 12 equal monthly installments. If employment is terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company for Cause (as defined in the agreement), then the Company shall pay his Base Salary through the date of his termination and there shall be no further entitlement to any other compensation or benefits from the Company. If employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the agreement) or within six (6) months thereafter, the Company (or its successor, as applicable) shall (i) continue to pay to his Base Salary for a period of thirty six (36) months following such termination, (ii) pay any accrued and any earned but unpaid Bonus, (iv) pay the Executive the Bonus he would have earned had he remained with the Company for six (6) months from the date which such termination occurs, (iv) pay expense reimbursement amounts through the date of termination.
