LOAN AGREEMENT
This Loan Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into on September 6th,
2011 by between Envision Solar International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Borrower"), and Gerald Hickson, an individual (the "Lender"). Certain
capitalized terms used herein are defined on Exhibit A of this Agreement.
The parties agree as follows:
1. LOAN.
(a) LOAN. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Lender shall make a loan (the "Loan") to Borrower in the principal sum of
$1,000,000. The Loan shall be evidenced by a Convertible Promissory Note issued
by the Borrower to the Lender at the Closing (as defined below) in the form of
Exhibit B hereto (the "Note").
(b) INTEREST. The Note and all other monetary Obligations
shall bear interest at 9% per annum. Interest shall be payable in arrears on the
Maturity Date as defined in this Agreement. Any interest not paid when due shall
be added to the principal and shall thereafter bear like interest as the
principal of the Note. Interest accruing after the Maturity Date shall be
compounded annually, without waiving any rights or remedies of the Lender by
reason of the failure to pay the same when due.
(c) MATURITY DATE. Unless the Note is earlier converted into
equity securities of the Borrower as provided in the Note, on December 31, 2012
(the "Maturity Date"), the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note and
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other monetary Obligations shall
be due and payable.
(d) PAYMENTS. For all purposes of this Agreement, any payments
by Borrower will only be deemed received when received in immediately available
funds, and any immediately available funds received later than 5:00 p.m.
(California time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on
the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to
accrue during such period.
(e) PREPAYMENT. The Borrower may at any time after 180 days of
the execution of this note prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance
of the Note by giving at least three days prior notice to the Lender of the
prepayment date. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender all or any portion of the
outstanding principal and accrued interest due on this Note or shall, to the
extent of the prepayment and if agreed in writing by the Lender, issue and
deliver to the Lender a certificate representing a number of shares of the
Borrower's common stock (the "Shares") into which such Note is convertible as of
the prepayment date. The Borrower shall not, however, be obligated to make such
payment or issue such Shares unless the Lender has delivered its original Note
to Borrower or has notified Borrower that such Note has been lost, stolen or
destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to Borrower to indemnify
Borrower from any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or
destroyed Note. The Lender shall have the right to exercise all of its rights
under the Note, and interest shall continue to accrue, until payment in full is
made hereunder, or the Note is converted into Shares as provided in the Note.
The Note will be deemed converted on the date of written notice of election to
convert, regardless of when the actual Note is submitted by the Lender for
cancellation.

delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Borrower's business as

any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the

demand under this Agreement or the Lender's Note, and although such Obligations

not limited to) reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such
action. Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any losses, claims, actions,
causes of action, penalties, and reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees), which the Lender may sustain or incur based upon,
-5-
arising out of, or relating to a breach by the Borrower of this Agreement, any
of the Obligations or the Loan Documents, except any such amounts sustained or
incurred as the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the

attorneys, or any other person affiliated with or representing such person. The
indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect.

provided to the Lender by Borrower, the Lender shall exercise the same degree of
care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information to
maintain the confidentiality of the same, except that disclosure of such

transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Obligations, provided that they
have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement with respect thereto,
(ii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or
similar order (provided that, in the case of a subpoena, judicial order or
similar order, the Lender shall, if practical, give written notice thereof to
the Borrower so that Borrower may take appropriate action to prevent such
disclosure if it wishes), and (iv) as may be commercially reasonable in
connection with the exercise of any remedies by Lender under this Agreement.
Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either:
(a) is in the public domain, or becomes part of the public domain through no
fault of the Lender; or (b) is disclosed to the Lender by a third party, which

11. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE LENDER.
(a) The Lender represents and warrants to Borrower as of
Closing Date and as of the date the Lender acquires Shares, if it acquires
Shares, as follows:
(1) It has full power and authority and has taken all
required action necessary to permit it to execute and deliver
and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and all other
documents or instruments required by this Agreement.
(2) It is its present intention to acquire the Note
and the Shares for its own account and that its Note and the
securities into which the Note is convertible (together, its
"Securities") are being or will be acquired by it for the
purpose of investment and not with a view to distribution. The
Lender agrees that it will not sell or transfer any of its
Securities without registration under applicable federal and
state securities laws, or the availability of exemptions
therefrom. The Lender agrees that the documents evidencing the
Securities will each bear a restrictive legend stating that
the Securities represented thereby have not been registered
under applicable federal and state securities laws and
referring to restrictions on their transferability and sale.
(3) It is an "accredited investor" (as defined in
Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) and it acknowledges that
it currently has, and had immediately prior to its Loan
hereunder, such knowledge, sophistication and experience in
financial and business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of this investment and further
acknowledges that it is able to bear the economic risk of this
investment for an indefinite period of time. During the course
of this transaction and prior to the sale to the Lender of the
Note hereunder, it acknowledges that it had the opportunity to
ask questions of, and receive answers from, management of the
Borrower concerning the terms and conditions of this
investment and to obtain any additional information of the
same kind that is specified in Rule 502 of Regulation D of the
Securities Act, or that is necessary to verify the accuracy of
the other information obtained. It has received such
information as it deems necessary to enable it to make its
investment decision. In particular, Lender has carefully
reviewed all of Borrower's SEC Reports and the risk factors
and other information furnished to the Lender by the Borrower
supplementally. Lender further acknowledges that Allied Beacon
Partners, Inc., a registered broker-dealer with the Financial
Industry National Regulatory Association ("FINRA"), will earn
a selling commission in the form of cash and equity in
connection with the Lender's Loan to the Borrower.
(b) RESTRICTIONS ON DISPOSITION. Without in any way limiting
the representations set forth in Section 11(a) above, during the period from the
Closing Date until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Lender
further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares
without the prior written approval of the Borrower, provided that such prior
written approval of the Borrower shall not be required (i) for transfers or
sales where the number of Shares being conveyed do not exceed, in any single
day, fifteen percent (15%) of the daily average volume of such prior week sales
as reported by such applicable exchange , (ii) for transfers to Affiliates of
the Lender, or (iii) if the Borrower has breached a material obligation under
this Agreement. Certificates evidencing the Shares will bear an appropriate
legend reflecting such restrictions on transfer.
-7-
(c) LOCK-UP PROVISION. Upon receipt of a written request by
Borrower's underwriters, the Lender shall not sell, sell short, grant an option
to buy, or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities (except for any such
Securities included in the registration) for a period of up to one hundred and
eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration of the
Borrower's securities; provided, however, that the Lender shall have no
obligation to enter into the agreement described in this Section 11(c) unless
all executive officers and directors of Borrower and all other holders of other
registration rights from Borrower enter into similar agreements. Borrower may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Securities subject to the
foregoing restriction until the end of said maximum 180-day period.
12. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and all acts and transactions
hereunder and all rights and obligations of the Lender and Borrower shall be
governed by the internal laws of the State of California.
13. GENERAL. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall
not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force
and effect. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and
instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire and
complete agreement between Borrower and the Lender, and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of
which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral
understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not
set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties
in connection with this Agreement. Subject to Section 11(b), the Lender may
assign all or any part of its interest in the Note and this Agreement and the
Obligations to any person or entity, or grant a participation in, or security
interest in, any interest in this Agreement or the Note, without notice to, or
consent of, Borrower. Borrower may not assign any rights under or interest in
this Agreement without the Lender's prior written consent. This Agreement shall
be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the respective parties' heirs,
executors, administrators, assigns and successors. This Agreement may be
executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which shall constitute one agreement.
14. TERMINATION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS. All representations in Section 2
shall cease to be continuing on the date the entire Note is paid in full or
converted into Shares.
15. SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties and covenants of Borrower
and the Lender contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Closing Date, and any conversion
of the Note into Shares for so long as the applicable statute of limitations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been entered into as of the date
first above written.
