EXHIBIT A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES PLAN We at 10 Spot, Inc. are dedicated to the communities that we serve. We are invested in hiring locally, supporting community partners, and using eco-friendly business practices. In Santa Ana, we will focus on hiring disadvantaged and at -risk local citizens, especially those with gaps in their resumes and/or who are in need of training. 10 Spot, Inc. is committed to civic engagement, collaboration with the City of Santa Ana on neighborhood improvement efforts, financial assistance to outreach programs, and spearheading green initiatives. LOCAL HIRING PLAN & LABOR At 10 Spot, Inc., we do not view our employees as simple workers, but as a part of our family. We are invested in their long-term success, which is why we offer competitive wages and benefits, as well as supporting ongoing employee education. We want our staff to take what they learn from working with us to launch their careers, whether with us or an entirely different field. Hiring locally does not only benefit the community, but the employer as well. Our Compliance Manager Aaron Friesen has hired 50% of his employees at Orange County Collision —a business he has been operating for 20 years —from Santa Ana, with an additional 40% of employees living just over the border in neighboring cities. We are committed to hiring locally at our Distribution facility, with a goal of 100% of our employees residing in Santa Ana. We will create 15-20 new employment opportunities for various levels of experience at 2702 S Shannon St, including at least 8-11 entry level positions that will require no prior experience in the cannabis industry. Wages and Benefits We at 10 Spot, Inc. understand that everyone of our employees is entitled to a living wage. About 100 years ago, Henry Ford understood that paying his employees enough to buy the Model Ts they were building - something unheard of at the time - would create a stable workforce that both increased his profits and enhanced the quality of life of the community. Here in the 21st Century we also understand that lesson, as well as benefits that keep people healthy and financially solvent by ensuring every full-time employee has robust health insurance coverage. We will offer entry-level employees an annual salary of 50% above the minimum wage, in addition to benefits like paid time off and tuition assistance. We feel that entry level positions that provide personal and financial stability are badly needed during a time when millions of people are filing for unemployment. The cannabis industry is proving to be recession -proof, so we at 10 Spot, Inc. will provide much needed wages and benefits to the community of Santa Ana. Training and Continuing Education 10 Spot, Inc. holds a vested interest in offering employee education opportunities. We invest heavily in our staff, and our management is dedicated to offering mentorship and job -related training for the cannabis industry as well as in general business practices. Well -trained staff keeps our business running optimally and gives us the opportunity to expand locally and beyond. 10
