DocuSign Envelope ID, 042DDA72-FA32-4F05-BEBB-1848D805E746 B. Other Environmental and 5ustainability Efforts The cannabis industry is still in the early phases in the court of public opinion. One way in which The Spot will demonstrate goodwill and community benefits to the public is by creating a sustainable operation and working to obtain LFFD certification. LEED is the gold standard by which commercial facilities are evaluated for environmental stewardship. but still working to establish a reputation for itself. By obtaining LEED certification, supporting the Santa Ana City Council's green initiatives through donations and volunteer efforts, and strictly adhering to all federal, state, and local sustainability and environmental protection regulations, we contribute to a positive reputation for our industry as upholders of the highest standards and stewards for the environment. In our third -party relationships, we have a proven track record of working with cultivators, manufacturers, and distributors that actively work to minimize their carbon footprint and other environmental impacts. The same will be true for building materials and construction contractors that we use at our Santa Ana facility. We will buy materials locally and use local Santa Ana vendors whenever possible for everything from construction materials to office supplies. This not only serves the direct economic interest of the community, but also minimizes the carbon emissions associated with transporting goods over long distances. The Spot will take a leadership role in the retail cannabis sector on a city-wide level by being an active member in and helping to expand the local cannabis industry association, Orange County Advocacy Alliance (OCAA). OCAA will function in part as a local thinktank for the industry, where information, techniques and solutions can be devised and shared to reduce environmental impact from the industry and create positive impacts in general. Environmental and community improvements and initiatives can be significantly enhanced and expedited by pooling knowledge of respected and experienced members of the local industry. The Spot welcomes the opportunity to work closely with the City of Santa Ana and its organizations and community members to establish sustainable environmental practices and overall practices that benefit the communities in which we operate for the entire industry.
