+Added: our nominating and governance committee will consider the current size and composition of our Board of Directors and the needs of our
+Added: Board of Directors and the respective committees of our Board of Directors.
+Added: Some of the qualifications that our nominating and governance
+Added: committee considers include, without limitation:
+Added: issues of character, integrity, and judgment;

+Added: of experience;

+Added: and any other relevant qualifications, attributes, or skills.

+Added: companies or institutions with which they are affiliated.

+Added: may also consider such other factors as it may deem, from time to time, are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
+Added: of our nominating and governance committee is to consider properly submitted stockholder recommendations for candidates for membership
+Added: on the Board.

+Added: Law and our articles of incorporation, our directors and officers will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary
+Added: damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director or officer of his “duty of care.” This provision
+Added: does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a
+Added: knowing violation of law or (ii) the payment of dividend in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
+Added: This provision
+Added: would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.
+Added: The effect of this provision in our articles of
+Added: incorporation is to eliminate the rights of Beam Global and our stockholders (through stockholder’s derivative suits on behalf of
+Added: Beam Global) to recover monetary damages against a director or officer for breach of his fiduciary duty of care (including breaches resulting
+Added: from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (ii) above.
+Added: This provision does
+Added: not limit or eliminate the rights of Beam Global or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in
+Added: the event of a breach of a director’s or officer’s duty of care.
+Added: Nevada General Corporation Law grants corporations the right
+Added: to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law.
+Added: Our bylaws provide for indemnification
+Added: of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable law.
+Added: These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under
+Added: federal securities laws.
+Added: We intend to enter into agreements to indemnify
+Added: our directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws.
+Added: These agreements, among other things, indemnify
+Added: our directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by
+Added: any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of Beam Global, arising out of such person’s
+Added: services as a director or officer of Beam Global, any subsidiary of Beam Global or any other company or enterprise to which the person
+Added: provides services at the request of Beam Global.
+Added: We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified
+Added: directors and officers.
+Added: Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
+Added: under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling Beam Global pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
+Added: Beam Global has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy
+Added: as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
