EXHIBIT A <br />COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES PLAN <br />Community Benefit and Sustainable Business Practices PI <br />Cannavision deeply values Santa Ana community, especially its residents. As such, <br />Cannavision is committed to supporting the City and its events and programs, community - <br />based groups, schools and non -profits as well as prioritizing local hiring and business <br />partnership practices. Our donations will commence once our businesses are profitable and <br />able to sustain operations for 3 months. Because we are a small family (from Santa Ana) <br />business, Cannavision will commit to $2,000 in donations in year one following profitability, <br />$3,000 in year two and $5,000 in year three and beyond. <br />Likewise, Cannavision has adopted clean, green business practices and seeks to partner <br />with cannabis businesses who also value sustainability. <br />Commitment_to Support Communitv-Based Groups <br />Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It's important to the <br />person who serves as well as the recipient. It's the way in which we ourselves grow and <br />develop.

Accordingly, we are committed to <br />donating Coraz6n de Vida, which focuses on ensuring the basics of life at their orphanage, <br />such as nutrition, shelter and security to children in Baja California while working directly <br />with individuals to improve their quality of life. Coraz6n de Vida also funds uniforms, <br />backpacks and transportation costs to ensure the children at the orphanage look just the <br />same as the other children at school. To the extent the Coraz6n de Vida permits us to take <br />a more active role in supporting their needs, Cannavision will continue to explore these <br />options with the them directly. <br />Mercy House <br />Cannavision is dedicated to supporting those who need it most. To that end, we have <br />selected the Mercy House to support on an annual basis. <br />Mercy House currently operates a complete system of care in Orange County consisting of <br />outreach, emergency shelters, transitional facilities, and permanent residences. Mercy <br />House assists single adults and full families experiencing homelessness in one of the most <br />expensive counties in America. We are excited to support Mercy House in its partnership <br />with the City of Santa Ana, the California Strategic Growth Council upcoming Legacy Square <br />facility in Santa Ana. <br />Additionally, we will donate at least 10 hours of community service time per employee per <br />year to the Mercy House and compensate our staff during their volunteer time.
