DocuSign Envelope ID: 08E4C7D7-6D31-43F1-8731-2545DB3BB509 Most importantly in reducing our electrical demand, we will aim to LED lights for our grow. LED lights produce 74 lumens per watt compared with traditional incandescent grow lights which provide 14 lumens per watt. Thus, we substantially cut our energy needs. One incandescent light replaced with an LED light is equal to a savings of over 400 watts (across an 8-hour day, 480 watts used by an incandescent vs. 68 watts for an LED). Spread over 100 lights, 400,000 watts are saved per day, equating to exponential reductions in energy needs, and thus carbon emissions from our power use. • Sustainability o Energy and water efficiency are not the only elements to an environmentally sustainable business model, though they are the biggest. We will make a good faith effort to take the following additional steps: • Purchase recycled products for all paper and plastic needs, as well as have a recycling system in place on site to recapture these materials for reuse • Use organic, non -toxic chemicals for grow operations • Encourage biking and public transit use for employees • Install low -flow water restroom water fixtures • Smart climate control and light control system (auto -timers, dimmers, daylight maximization) • Explore LEED audits annually and the attainment of LEED certification • Work with our energy provider to purchase carbon offsets, alternative source energy, and net -zero or carbon sink creation. • Community Care o We understand that community contributions can come in the form of time. For us, this will generally involve efforts to creating a program that sponsors volunteer hours from employees. We aim to donate up to 20 volunteer hours quarterly at local Santa Ana organizations — whether civic or non-profit. This means that employees will be paid at their regular hourly rate for all time spent volunteering at Santa Ana community centers, hospitals, homeless shelters, schools, and Santa Ana parks. We will actively encourage individual volunteer efforts, as well as coordinate employee group volunteer days. 11
