I. Introduction

GARDEN REMEDIES, INC COMPENSATION SETTING POLICY

This policy codifies the procedures by which the board of directors of Garden Remedies, Inc. ("the corporation") sets the compensation of directors, top management officials, officers an\! key employees ("executive compensation"). These procedures are designed to comply with the "safe harbor" requirements set fmth in the tax regulations on intermediate sanctions to create a rebuttable presumption ofreasonableness in compensation levels.

II. Policy The board of directors shall oversee the setting of executive compensation and shall (I) determine compensation of all directors, top management officials, officers and key employees, and (2) review, assess and approve the reasonableness of such compensation on a regular basis. In order to be approved as reasonable, compensation must be an amount that would ordinarily be paid for comparable work by similarly situated organizations under like circumstances. The pruticular education, experience and skill of the compensated individual may also be taken into account.

III. Guidelines Compensation determinations made by the directors will be made in accordance with the following guidelines:

i. In setting and determining the reasonableness of executive compensation, the board shall obtain and rely upon compensation information for comparable work by similarly situated organizations under like circumstances, as defined in Section II above.

ii. Board members involved in setting and approving executive compensation, as well as any third parties providing professional advice to the board members in connection with setting and approving executive compensation shall be independent and have no conflicts of interest as to the executive whose compensation is being reviewed. Board members shall have no conflict of interest for these purposes if they (i) will not economically benefit from the compensation arrangement, (ii) are not family members of a person who will economically benefit, (iii) have no material financial interest affected by the compensation rurnngement, and (iv) are not family members of a person who has a material financial interest affected by the compensation arrangement.

iii. Timely and accurate minutes of all final actions by the board regarding the setting and approval of executive compensation will be recorded and held with board records. Such minutes will include (1) the terms of the approved compensation arrangement and the date approved, (2) a list of the board members present during discussion, showing those who approved the arrangement, those who rejected it and those who recused themselves due to conflicts of interest, (3) the comparability data relied upon and how such data was obtained, and ( 4) the rationale for determining that the a1rnngement was reasonable if it exceeded the range of the comparability data.

Checks that need to be transported from the dispensary to the bank may be sent by US mail or hand delivered by the responsible employee, and ifhand delivered, will not be left unattended at any point in the transition.

Checks. When the corporation receives checks from members of the public, it will make only one hard copy and keep it in a locked file cabinet with restricted access. The checks themselves will also be kept under lock and key until they are deposited.

• Blocking access to user identification after multiple unsuccessful attempts to gain access.

Access Protocols. The Data Security Coordinator shall implement the following secure access control measures:

SECTION E. OPERATIONS 21. Provide a summary of the RMD's operating procedures for the cultivation of marijuana for medical use.

GRI will utilize a cultivation method te1med True Living Organics (TLO ), to create a bio-dynamic living habitat ofbeneficial bacteria and micro-life, mimicking Mother Natm·es process in an outside/greenhouse setting. GRI will only apply reverse osmosis water or natural compost teas to the plants. GRI will never use liquid fe1tilizers, which kill the habitat and limits the plants genetic expression.

TLO increases the plants natural immunity, eliminates source toxins common in liquid fertiliz.ers and non­organic pesticides, and improves the plants expression of other desirable properties such as its terpene profile. GRI's living soil will improve the plants natm·al immunity and reduce the need for pest mitigation. If pest mitigation is required GRI will employ Ethical Pest Management techniques that include the use of compost teas, Neem oil, and other biological controls. If increasing mitigation is required, GRI will only use Organic Material Review Institutes certified products.

GRI will further mitigate the risk of pest problems by employing leading industly sanitation practices. Dispensary agents at the cultivation site will remove all jewelry and wear hair and beard nets. Dispensmy agents will step onto specialy designed mats to remove any contamination from the bottom of their shoes before entering the cultivation site. All equipment will be regularly smiitized and inspected for cleanliness. When appropriate, dispensmy agents will wear gloves for added sanitation.

All precautions will be taken to reduce the risk of an outbreak and spread of pathogens or contaminates. All phases of cultivation will take place in designated, locked, limited access areas that are monitored by a surveillance camera sysytem as required by the DPH and accessible to only a minimum number of dispensmy agents.

Dispensary agents will be proficient with the GRI Cultivation and Process Manual, Pest and Contamination Conti·ol Procedmes, Environmental Control Procedures, and Waste Management Procedures. To assure operating procedures are sti·ingently followed, management will implement Compliance Verification Procedures developed from the USDA audit program, Good Agricultural Practices and FDA Good Manufuctming Practices.

All cultivation will meet US Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry's Environmental Medial Evaluation Guide lines for residential soil levels, and will use best practices to limit any contamination identifie.d as posing potential haim
