VALLEY GREEN GROW, INC. DOCUMENT RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION POLICY

This document retention policy ("Policy") sets forth the Valley Green Grow, Inc.'s ("VGG") policies and procedures for the management of documents (as defined below).

VGG takes seriously its obligations to preserve information relating to litigation, audits, and investigations. The information listed in the retention schedule below is intended as a guideline and may not contain all the records VGG may be required to keep in the future.

From time to time, V GG may suspend the destruction of records due to pending, threatened, or otherwise reasonably foreseeable litigation, audits, government investigations, or similar proceedings.

I. DEFINITIONS

A. "Document" means any document, communication, memorandum, report, record, data compilation or other similar item generated, received, transmitted or maintained by the VGG or its employees, for or on behalf of VGG. This definition applies regardless of the format, storage method, or medium used to store the item, including any paper, chart, card, book, photograph, microfilm, microfiche, magnetic media, daily planner, electronic calendar, computer tape, floppy disk, zip drive, computer hard drive, e-mail, electronic image or CD-ROM, and any copy, back-up or printout thereof (including informational, working and personal copies).

C. "Record Retention Coordinator" refers to the person serving in the position of Treasurer.

B. To ensure the preservation of Documents relevant to any pending, threatened, reasonably foreseeable or contemplated legal action or proceeding or government investigation;

C. To ensure that Documents required for VGG's operations are maintained in an efficient manner so they can be readily accessed when necessary;

D. To comply with applicable legal requirements for retaining Documents; and

E. To ensure an appropriate and orderly Document disposal process.

III.POLICY

The general policy of V GG is to retain for an appropriate time all Documents that are needed to operate VGG or required by law to be retained. Documents should be retained or routinely disposed of in accordance with the time periods indicated in the Retention Schedule. These time periods apply to all Documents regardless of how or· where they are maintained. The time periods listed in the Retention Schedule do not apply, however, if the Record Retention Coordinator has issued a Document Disposal Suspension Notice requiring certain Documents or categories of Documents to be retained. This Policy will be consistently and uniformly applied throughout VGG.

Documents that are reasonably likely to be relevant to any pending, threatened, reasonably foreseeable or contemplated (i) legal action or proceeding (e.g., a civil lawsuit), . or (ii) govermnent investigation (e.g., an IRS audit), should not under any circumstances, be altered, mutilated, concealed, deleted, destroyed or otherwise disposed of without the specific authorization of the Record Retention Coordinator. Under the circumstances described above, routine Document disposal must be suspended pending authorization by the Record Retention Coordinator to resume it.

IV. RESPONSIBILITIES

Employees

Every employee is required to manage Documents in their possession or control in accordance with this Policy.

Records Retention Coordinator

The responsibilities of the Records Retention Coordinator include:

A. Assuming overall responsibility for VGG's compliance with the Retention Schedule;

D. Training employees to implement this Policy;

(00590795.DOCXll l}

F. Notifying employees of, and monitoring their compliance with, any Document Disposal Suspension Notice; and

V. lf\1PLEMENTATION

A. The Record Retention Coordinator will, when necessary, provide notice to the appropriate persons in the company that they need to identify Documents that have exceeded their retention period and should be disposed.

B. Document Storage. Documents that are being retained should be stored in a secure storage area that is reasonably safeguarded against theft, inappropriate access, misuse and damage (including events such as fire and flood).

C. Document Disposal. Docµments requiring routine disposal pursuant to the Retention Schedule are to be handled in the following manner:

1. Each employee will identify Documents m their possession that have exceeded the required retention period;

2. Each employee will confirm that none of the identified Documents should be retained pursuant to any Document Disposal Suspension Notice;

The printed or stored e-mail will be subject to the retention periods listed in the Retention Schedule. E-mail not stored to a separate

electronic folder and all back-up e-mail will be routinely disposed of six months after the date on the e-mail.

The Record Retention Coordinator will communicate the Suspension Notice to all employees. When a Suspension Notice is issued, routine disposal of Documents covered by such Notice must be suspended immediately and such Documents must be promptly forwarded to the Record Retention Coordinator. If a Document covered by a Suspension Notice cannot be forwarded because it is required for VGG's operations, the head of the Department retaining such Document must notify the Record Retention Coordinator of the existence of the Document and the reason it cannot be forwarded.

F. Training. All employees will be periodically trained and kept current in all aspects of their Document management responsibilities. The Record Retention Coordinator will be responsible for informing employees of the policies and procedures contained herein and ensuring that each employee receives the appropriate training to ensure compliance.

SECTION E: OPERATIONS

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

Valley Green Grow Inc. is proposing a single cultivation center to grow multiple medical cannabis strains for licensed patients at its three proposed RMD locations. All operations will take place designated, locked, authorized access areas that are monitored by surveillance camera system in accordance with 105 CRM 725.11 O(D)(I)( d)-(i).

All phases of cultivation take place in separated grow roo1ns to 1nini1nize cross conta1nination of plant pathogens. These protective rooms are high locked, controlled (HVAC syste1ns); authorized accessed, clitnate controlled environ1nental rooms. according to the highest Hygienic require1nents, User require1nents specifications, SOP's and GMP standards, all which is necessary to grow standardized medical cannabis.

Cultivators will 1naintain a clean environ1nent in all grow roon1s and wear re1novable protective suits and head coverings to limit exposure to potential contatninants. The incoming ventilation air from outside will be filtered and highly controlled with cooling and heating systems. Rooms will be over-pressured to keep contan1ination outside. All air exhausted fro1n the building will be carbon filtered and/or treated with ozone to eliminate any "tell-tale" odors from escaping the building

Valley Green Grow, Inc. will not utilize pesticides and will control pests with natural ene1nies. Pests, diseases and infections will be prevented by preventive ineasures. Best practices, filters, disinfection, cleaning cycles and personal protection will be tnaintained to ensure that 1nolds, fungus, bacterial diseases, rot, pests, non-organic pesticides, inildew, and any other conta1ninant posing potential hann are elituinated.

All plants will be grown hydroponically in rockwool, an inert, PH and EC neutral medium. Reverse osmoses filtration and/or UV-disinfection will be e1nployed to strip the water used of any minerals, salts and potential chemical conta111inants. This allows for baseline of near zero pp1n (parts per 1nillion) allowing precise control of the nutrients that the plants receive throughout all stages of the plants life cycle. Approved nutrients will be used in the appropriate strengths and fotmulas for each phase of life.

Grow roo1ns will utilize High Pressure Sodiu1n and/or LED fixtures to replicate the natural light of the sun. Carbon Dioxide (C02) enrichment will be employed to increase photosynthesis and improve yield.

Strains selection will be based on the input from our R&D, cultivation and 1nanage1nent tea1ns, whose work in other licensed dispensaries throughout the world offers validated experience with plant species that are effective for specific 1nedical conditions, R&D strain collection and genetics backup will take place in separated quarantine grow rootns to avoid conta1nination.

Cultivation will be overseen by Chief Cultivation Officer Hany von Duijne. Mr Hany von Duijne will oversee a team of licensed employees charged with producing the highest grade of independent laboratory tested medical cannabis. Mr von Duijne's large-scale, state licensed 1nedical cannabis dispensa1y cultivation experience in the Netherlands ensures sea1nless integration of operating procedures at the proposed Valley Green Grow Inc. Facility.

Independent laboratory testing will be conducted on all extractions so that residual solvent levels are less than 100 ppm.

Once laborat01y testing is validated, the product line will be created using a variety of methods (carrier oil infusion, baking, etc.). Finally, all finished MIP's will undergo a final product validation to ensure quality along with additional laboratory analysis to ensure potency and consistency of each product.
