    Gentlemen:

     

    Envision
Solar, LLC ("ENVISION" or "the Company") is a California Limited Liability
Company formed to provide durable and attractive integrative photovoltaic
systems designed to facilitate the worldwide transition to the use of renewable
energy. ENVISION desires to raise $2,000,000 through the sale of 200,000 Shares
("The Shares") to Accredited Investors ("Investor") at a price of $10.00 per
Share pursuant to Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933. Each Investor
participating in this Offering is required to purchase a minimum of 5,000
shares; however, ENVISION may choose to accept purchases below the minimum at
its discretion. ENVISION hereby confirms as follows its agreement with Nexcore
Capital, Inc. ("Nexcore"), a registered member in good standing of the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD"), under which Nexcore will act as a
non-exclusive agent for ENVISION in connection with the Offering of the
Shares.

     

    1. Memorandum.   ENVISION is
authorizing the preparation of a private placement memorandum ("Memorandum")
relating to the sale of the Shares.

     

    2. Appointment
of Agent. On the
basis of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and
subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, Nexcore is hereby
appointed as a non-exclusive agent of ENVISION to offer and sell the Shares to
Accredited Investors. Nexcore covenants to offer and sell Shares on a "best
efforts" basis on behalf of ENVISION in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Memorandum, and not to misrepresent orally or in writing any
of the facts regarding ENVISION, its business, or the Offering. Nexcore
covenants to closely supervise all of its representatives in the Offering of the
Shares and to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws and
NASD rules and regulations. Nexcore is not responsible for the contents of the
Memorandum. Nexcore covenants not to use any written material or oral statements
in offering or selling the Shares which are not specifically authorized by
ENVISION, provided, that Nexcore is specifically authorized to use the
Memorandum. Subject to the performance by ENVISION of its obligations to be
performed hereunder, and to the accuracy of all the representations and
warranties contained herein, Nexcore hereby accepts such agency and agrees to
perform its obligations hereunder.

    


    3. Representations
and Warranties of Envision. ENVISION represents,
warrants and agrees with Nexcore for Nexcore's benefit that:

     

    (a)           All
action required to be taken by ENVISION as a condition to sale of the Shares
has been
taken.

     

    (b)           ENVISION
is duly and validly organized, existing and in good standing as a limited
liability company under the laws of the State of California, with full power and
authority to conduct

unencumbered
title to all government licenses and permits necessary to conduct its business,

    (c) From the
commencement of the Offering period through the Offering Termination Date, as
that term is defined in the Memorandum, the Memorandum will not contain an

in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.

     

    (d) This
Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on
behalf of ENVISION, and constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable agreement
of ENVISION.

     

    (e) No
federal or state securities agency has issued an order preventing or suspending
the Offering or the use of the Memorandum with respect to the sale of the
Shares. ENVISION will promptly notify Nexcore upon the issuance of any such
order and furnish Nexcore with a copy thereof. The Memorandum and any amendment
or supplement thereto will comply and will continue to comply with all
applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any
other applicable federal and state laws and regulations at all times during the
term of this Agreement.

consent, approval, authorization or other order of any governmental authority is
required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by ENVISION
of this Agreement.

     

    (g) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement will not constitute a breach of, or

body or administrative agency having jurisdiction over ENVISION.

    


    4. Nexcore
Representations and Warranties. Nexcore represents and
warrants that it is duly and fully licensed under the rules and regulations of
the NASD and is capable of performing and satisfying its obligations under this
Agreement. Nexcore further represents and warrants that Nexcore's execution and
performance of this Agreement will not cause Nexcore to be in default under or
to violate any agreement, law, rule, regulation, order or judgment applicable to
it.

     

    5. Compensation
to Nexcore. In
consideration for Nexcore's services hereunder, ENVISION covenants to pay
Nexcore a selling commission equal to ten (10%) percent of the total purchase
price of Shares sold by representatives who are registered with Nexcore. The
selling commission payable to Nexcore will be paid periodically as ENVISION
accepts sales of Shares. In those cases where the investor is an institution,
and the size of the investment is greater than $500,000 (i.e. exceeds 100,000
shares), ENVISION and Nexcore agree that ENVISION shall pay Nexcore a reduced
selling commission of four percent (4%) on these institutional
sales.

     

    6. Due
Diligence Allowance. In consideration for due
diligence expenses incurred by Nexcore in connection with the Offering, ENVISION
covenants to pay Nexcore a due diligence fee equal to three percent (3%) of the
total purchase price of Shares sold by representatives who are registered with
Nexcore. In those cases where the investor is an institution, and the size of
the investment is greater than $500,000 (i.e. exceeds 100,000 shares), ENVISION
and Nexcore agree that ENVISION shall pay Nexcore a reduced due diligence fee of
two percent (2%) on these institutional sales. The due diligence allowance will
be paid periodically as ENVISION accepts sales of Shares.

    


    7. Incentive
Compensation and Offering Costs. In consideration for
other expenses incurred by Nexcore in connection with the Offering, including
but not limited to administrative and miscellaneous
expenses, Nexcore will also receive from ENVISION a nonaccountable expense
reimbursement in cash equal to two percent (2%) of the total purchase price of
all Shares sold by representatives who are registered with Nexcore. In addition,
as non-cash incentive compensation for Nexcore, ENVISION shall also compensate
Nexcore with fully-paid, non-accessible, and assignable common Shares of the
Company equal to ten percent (10%) of the total number of Shares sold in this
Offering, subject to a maximum of 20,000 Shares, and based upon the 200,000

shareholders, agents, employees, accountants and attorneys, and each of them,
harmless from and against all liabilities, claims, damages, losses, costs,

and attorneys, and each of them, harmless from and against any loss, expense,
claim, damage or liability to which Nexcore or said other parties may become
subject under any securities act, common law concept, or otherwise, insofar as
such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof,
arises out of or is based in whole or in part on any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact made by ENVISION, any employee of the
Company, or in the Memorandum, or the omission thereby of any material fact
required to be stated or necessary to make the statement made to a prospective

who are defendants in any suit so brought. In the event that the ENVISION elects
to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, Nexcore or the
person or persons who are defendants in the suit shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel thereafter retained by Nexcore or them.
ENVISION agrees to promptly notify Nexcore of the assertion of any claim against
it or against any person who is a control person of ENVISION in connection with
the sale of the Shares.

     

    (c) Nexcore
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ENVISION and its affiliates, officers,
directors, shareholders, agents, employees, attorneys and accountants against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever directly or
indirectly resulting from material violations by Nexcore or its representatives
of any of Nexcore's representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement,
or of any applicable law, rule or regulation. In case any action is brought
against ENVISION or any of its affiliates under such laws, regulations or rules
on account of such material violation of such representations, warranties or
covenants, Nexcore shall have the rights and duties given to ENVISION, and
ENVISION shall have the rights and duties given to Nexcore, by the provisions of

Relief.

     

    20.1  Damages
Inadequate

     

    Each
parry acknowledges that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages

breached, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may have, shall

provisions, and that in the event that any such action or proceeding is brought
in equity to enforce them, the defaulting or breaching party will not urge a
defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

     

    21. Waivers. If any party shall at any
time waive any rights hereunder resulting from any breach by the other party of
any of the provisions of this Agreement, such waiver is not to be construed as a
continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this
Agreement. Resort to any remedies referred to herein shall not be construed as a
waiver of any other rights and remedies to which such party is entitled under
this Agreement or otherwise.

     

    22. Governing

Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California, and the venue for any action hereunder shall be in the

In the event that either parry must resort to legal action in order to
enforce the provisions of this Agreement or to defend such action, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the
nonprevailing party for all reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs
incurred in commencing or defending such action, or in enforcing this Agreement,
including but not limited to post judgment costs.
