EXHIBIT A COMMUNITY BENEFITAND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES PLAN 10 Spot, Inc. is passionately dedicated to serving the communities in which we operate and has existing plans in place for each of Santa Ana's community merit categories. The marketing strategy and pricing model alone, provide community benefits. 10 Spot does this by promoting $10 for any 1/8 of flower you purchase, on your first 3 visits to the store. Normally that 1/8 would cost the consumer anywhere from $40 - $60, so the savings is drastic, and goes right back in the pocket of the customers. We place a very high value on local hiring, support a variety of youth programs, and have a proven track record of "greening" our facilities and business practices. In Santa Ana, we will focus on hiring potentially disadvantaged community members, especially those with no prior skills training and veterans. 10 Spot, Inc. looks very much forward to putting down deep roots in the Santa Ana community though civic engagements, collaboration with the city on community improvement efforts, financial assistance to youth outreach programs, and green initiatives. LOCAL HIRING PLAN & LABOR EXPERIENCE At 10 Spot, Inc., our principals hold an unwavering commitment to providing more than just jobs; our labor and employment missions is to spring -boarding careers, offer highly competitive wages and benefits, promote and facilitate employee educations, and generally shepherd the wellbeing, longterm growth, and prosperity of our employees, their families, and the greater communities in which we operate. Aaron Friesen, 10 Spot Inc. Compliance Manager, has a 50% record of hiring employees from Santa Ana at Orange County Collision —a business he has been operating for 20 years —and a 90% local hire rate if neighboring cities are included. The many benefits of hiring locally as an employer cannot be overstated and has an obvious net positive effect on the community's local economy. We commit to continuing to hire locally and will set our goal at hiring 100% locally. 10 Spot, Inc. proposes 15-20 new employment opportunities for various levels of experience at this facility, including at least 8-11 entry level positions requiring no prior experience in horticulture or the cannabis industry. aaes and Benefits Part of our commitment to fostering a culture that allows employees to thrive personally and professionally is that idea that every employee deserves a living wage, appropriate to the economy of the region. Benefits that keep people healthy and financially solvent, such as health insurance, are also part of this philosophy, and will also be offered to all full-time employees. 10 Spot, Inc. will offer entry level employees an annual salary of 50% above the minimum wage, in addition to benefits like healthcare coverage, paid time off, and tuition reimbursement. We feel that entry level positions that provide personal and financial stability are badly needed in a community like Santa Ana, where 17% of the population lives below the poverty line. 10 Spot, Inc. will provide needed community benefits as a local employer by offering competitive wages and benefits at all employment levels.
