Exhibit A — Community Benefit and Sustainable Business Practices Plan CBD Inc. dba From the Earth (herein, FTE) is very committed to engaging in community benefit and sustainable business practices. To date, FTE, has worked with various local non-profit groups. Some of these efforts include, but are not limited to: KidWorks; Wooden Floor; Free Wheelchair Mission Canned food and toy drive during the past two holiday seasons. In addition, through our 24 hour security personnel presence, we have helped minimize crime and loitering for neighboring businesses. While FTE is proud of its efforts to date, the Company has plans to significantly increase the scale and impact of its local community efforts in Santa Ana. As a founding member of the Santa Ana Cannabis Association (SAGA), we are committed to leveraging the power of the group to undergo larger, sustained community involvement initiatives. SACA is currently in talks to help fund youth diversion programs and other after school programs with the Santa Ana Unified School District. FTE will engage its staff in community service events and/or programs in the City of Santa Ana by requiring each employee participate in a minimum of 10 community service hours per year. The abovementioned community benefit and sustainable business practices plan outlined will be met by having human resources protocols in place to track employee involvement and properly document FTE's level of involvement in local community efforts. These protocols will be logged and properly stored to be shareable to respective city departments if need be.
