         On  September 6, 2011,  Envision  Solar  International,  Inc., a Nevada
corporation  (the  "Company")  entered into a loan  agreement and  corresponding
convertible  promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,000,000 with
an investor (the "Lender").  The note bears simple interest at an annual rate of
nine percent (9%) with all principal and accrued  interest  payable on or before
December 31, 2012,  unless sooner converted into common stock. The holder of the
note can  convert  any  amount due under the note into  shares of the  Company's
common stock at a conversion price of $0.29 per share.

         On September 6, 2011, the Company entered into a selling agreement with
Allied Beacon Partners,  Inc. ("Allied Beacon"), a registered  securities broker
dealer,  to place the $1,000,000  convertible  note. The Lender is a customer of
Allied Beacon.  Allied Beacon will be compensated  four percent (4%) of the note
balance in cash upon execution,  four percent (4%) in cash for any amount of the
loan balance  subsequently  converted into shares of the Company's common stock,
and an  additional  two  percent  (2%) of any  converted  shares  payable in the
equivalent  number of warrants to purchase the Company's common stock, each with
a five (5) year term and a $0.29 strike price.

          Copies of these  agreements are attached hereto as exhibits 10.1, 10.2
