ITEM 1.01:  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
------------------------------------------------------

         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. Under the original
note,  the holder could convert any amount due under the note into shares of the
Company's  common stock at any time six months  after the note was issued,  at a
conversion price of $0.29 per share.

         On March 22, 2012,  the Company and the Lender agreed to amend the note
so that upon its conversion into common stock,  the note holder would be issued,
for accrued  interest  only,  a number of shares of the  Company's  common stock
calculated  with a conversion  price of the closing sale price of the  Company's
common stock on the OTC Bulletin  Board on the date of the notice of conversion.
The original  conversion price of $0.29 per share for all outstanding  principal
remains  unaltered.  On March 22, 2012, the Lender submitted a conversion notice
to the Company for the entire outstanding balance of the convertible  promissory
note.  Accordingly,  the Company will issue a total of  3,647,591  shares of its
common stock to the Lender,  and the indebtedness  evidenced by the note will be
entirely extinguished.
