      AGREEMENT

     

    THIS
      AGREEMENT is made January 3, 2008 between Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp.
      (the "Company"),
      and
      Nils Berten ("Employee").

     

    In
      consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and
      valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
      acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    1. Employment.
      The
      Company shall employ Employee, and Employee hereby accepts employment with
      the
      Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the
      period beginning on January 7, 2008 and ending as provided in Section
      4 hereof
      (the "Employment
      Period").

     

    2. Position
      and Duties.

     

    (a) During
      the Employment Period, Employee shall serve as the Chief Operating Officer
      of
      the Company and shall have the duties, responsibilities and functions as set
      forth by the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

     

    (b) During
      the Employment Period, Employee shall report to the Company's Chief Executive
      Officer or other such person as the Chief Executive Officer may elect and shall
      devote Employee's best efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and
      its Subsidiaries. Employee shall perform Employee's duties, responsibilities
      and
      functions to the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder to the best of
      Employee's abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, professional and efficient
      manner and shall comply with the Company's and its Subsidiaries' policies and
      procedures in all material respects.

     

    (c) For
      purposes of this Agreement, "Subsidiaries"
      shall
      mean any corporation or other entity of which the securities or other ownership
      interests having the voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors
      or other governing body are, at the time of determination, owned by the Company,
      directly or through one of more Subsidiaries.

     

    3. Compensation
      and Benefits.

     

    (a) During
      the Employment Period, Employee's base salary shall be €115.200,= (9000*12,8)
      per annum or such higher rate as the Chief Executive Officer may determine
      from
      time to time (as adjusted from time to time, the "Base
      Salary"),
      which
      salary shall be payable by the Company in regular installments in accordance
      with the Company's general payroll practices (in effect from time to time).
      In
      addition, during the Employment Period, Employee shall be entitled to
      participate in all of the Company's employee benefit programs for which
      employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries are generally eligible including
      Medical and Dental Insurance, and Employee shall be entitled to five weeks
      of
      paid vacation each calendar year. The salary is inclusive of a holiday allowance
      of 8%.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b) When
      new
      funds have been raised for the Company in excess of $1,000,000 and providing
      that the Employee is properly performing his duties and functions for the
      Company, the base salary provided for in Section 3(a) will increase to
€163.200,= (12.750,= * 12,8) after six months, therefore from 1 July 2008.
      Additionally Employee will receive €1500,= per month for pension purposes.


     

    (c) During
      the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable
      business expenses incurred by Employee in the course of performing Employee's
      duties and responsibilities under this Agreement which are consistent with
      the
      Company's policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel,
      entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Company's requirements
      with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. Employee will
      receive € 1350,= per month for car expenses as well as € 0,19 per km of business
      related driving. All mobile phone charges will be covered by the
      Company.

     

    (d) Depending
      on the business results of the Company and the Employee’s performance, as well
      as the achievement of specific milestones and other relevant circumstances,
      the
      Company may appoint a bonus to the Employee to be paid, in December of the
      year
      in question, ranging from 25% of the salary specified in article 3.a for on
      target performance, to a maximum of 75% for outstanding performance. The exact
      bonus target and bonus plan for each year will be set in advance by the CEO,
      ultimately on 31 October of the preceding year. 

     

    (e) There
      will be no bonus paid over the first six months of employment, therefore the
      possible bonus over 2008 will be pro rata and will be set ultimately on 30
      April
      2008.

     

    (f) All
      amounts payable to Employee as compensation pursuant to this Agreement shall
      be
      subject to all required withholding by the Company.

     

    4. Term.

     

    (a) The
      Employment Period shall begin on January 7, 2008 and shall end as specified
      in a
      written notice thereof from one party to the other, which notice may be given
      at
      any time, without or without cause or good reason and for any or no reason;
      provided
      that the
      Employment Period shall terminate immediately upon Employee's resignation,
      death
      or Disability. The
      Employee acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right
      with
      respect to continuation of employment by the Company nor shall it interfere
      in
      any way with the right of either party to terminate the Employee’s employment at
      any time, with or without cause. 

     

    (b) Notwithstanding
      the foregoing Section 4(a), if the Employment Period is terminated by the
      Company or its successors in interest without Cause, Employee shall be entitled
      to receive three (3) months of salary continuation ("Salary
      Continuation Period")
      of
      Employee's Base Salary, (ii) the benefit of employee benefit programs for the
      Salary Continuation Period, (iii) the cash value of any accrued but unused
      vacation days as of the date of Employee's termination, in
      each case, if and only if
      Employee
      has executed and delivered to the Company the General Release substantially
      in
      form and substance as set forth in Exhibit A
      attached
      hereto and only so long as Employee has not breached the provisions of
Sections
      5,
      6
      and
7
      hereof.
      Employee shall not be entitled to any other salary, compensation or benefits
      after termination of the Employment Period, except as specifically provided
      for
      in the Company's employee benefit plans or as otherwise expressly required
      by
      applicable law. The employee's entitlement to Salary Continuation shall cease
      at
      the earlier of three (3) months or the date on which Employee is rehired by
      the
      Company at his previous rate of pay or finds employment with another employer
      at
      at least 75% of his most recent base salary with the Company. In no case shall
      the Salary Continuation Period be less than two weeks. 

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c) If
      the
      Employment Period is terminated by the Company for Cause or is terminated
      pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, Employee shall only be entitled to receive
      Employee's Base Salary through the date of termination or expiration and shall
      not be entitled to any other salary, compensation or benefits from the Company
      or its Subsidiaries thereafter, except as otherwise specifically provided for
      under the Company's employee benefit plans or as otherwise expressly required
      by
      applicable law. 

     

    (d) Except
      as
      otherwise expressly provided herein, all of Employee's rights to salary,
      bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder which would have
      accrued or become payable after the termination or expiration of the Employment
      Period shall cease upon such termination or expiration, other than those
      expressly required under applicable law. The Company may offset any amounts
      Employee owes it or its Subsidiaries against any amounts it or its Subsidiaries
      owes Employee hereunder.

     

    (e) For
      purposes of this Agreement, "Cause"
      shall
      mean (i) the commission of a felony or any other act or omission involving
      dishonesty, material disloyalty or fraud with respect to the Company or any
      of
      its Subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers, (ii) reporting to
      work
      under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, the use of illegal drugs
      (whether or not at the workplace) or repeated conduct causing the Company or
      any
      of its Subsidiaries substantial public disgrace or disrepute or economic harm,
      (iii) substantial and repeated failure to perform duties as reasonably directed
      by the Company's Chief Executive Officer which
      is
      not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company's Chief Executive
      Officer within
      30
      days after written notice thereof to Employee, (iv) breach of fiduciary duty,
      gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company or any of
      its
      Subsidiaries or (v) any other material breach of this Agreement which is not
      cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company's Chief Executive
      Officer within
      30
      days after written notice thereof to Employee.

     

    (f) For
      purposes of this Agreement, "Disability"
      shall
      mean Employee's inability to perform the essential duties, responsibilities
      and
      functions of Employee's position with the Company and its Subsidiaries, due
      to
      illness, accident, injury, physical or mental incapacity or other disability,

      by
      the Board of Directors of the Company.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5. Confidential
      Information.
      

     

    (a) Obligation
      to Maintain Confidentiality.
      Employee acknowledges that the continued success of the Company and its
      Subsidiaries depends upon the use and protection of a large body of confidential
      and proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary
      information now existing or to be developed in the future will be referred
      to in
      this Agreement as "Confidential
      Information."
      Confidential Information will be interpreted as broadly as possible to include
      all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible
      or intangible form) that is (i) related to the Company's or its
      Subsidiaries' current or potential business and (ii) is not generally or
      publicly known. Confidential Information includes, without specific limitation,
      the information, observations and data obtained by Employee during the course
      of
      Employee's performance under this Agreement concerning the business and affairs
      of the Company and its Subsidiaries, information concerning acquisition
      opportunities in or reasonably related to the Company's or its Subsidiaries'
      business or industry of which Employee becomes aware during the Employment
      Period, the persons or entities that are current, former or prospective
      suppliers or customers of any one or more of such suppliers during Employee's
      course of performance under this Agreement, as well as development, transition
      and transformation plans, trade secrets, know how and inventions, methodologies
      and methods of doing business, strategic, marketing and expansion plans,
      including plans regarding planned and potential sales, financial and business
      plans, employee lists and telephone numbers, locations of sales representatives,
      new and existing programs and services, prices and terms, customer service,
      integration processes, requirements and costs of providing service, support
      and
      equipment. Therefore, Employee agrees that Employee shall not disclose to any
      unauthorized person or use for Employee's own account any of such Confidential
      Information without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of
      the
      Company, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information
      (i) becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other
      than as a result of Employee's acts or omissions to act or (ii) is required
      to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order. Employee agrees
      to deliver to the Company at the end of the Employment Period, or at any other
      time the Company may request in writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records,
      reports and other documents (and copies thereof) relating to the business of
      the
      Company or its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, all Confidential
      Information) that Employee may then possess or have under Employee's
      control.

     

    (b) Third
      Party Information.
      Employee understands that the Company and its Subsidiaries will receive from
      third parties confidential or proprietary information ("Third
      Party Information")
      subject to a duty on the Company's and its Subsidiaries' part to maintain the
      confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited
      purposes. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way
      limiting the provisions of Section_(a)
      above,
      Employee will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and
      will
      not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of the Company or its Subsidiaries
      who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company
      or such Subsidiaries) or use, except in connection with Employee's work for
      the
      Company or its Subsidiaries, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized
      by a member of the Board of Directors of the Company in writing.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    6. Ownership
      of Intellectual Property.
      Employee agrees to make prompt and full disclosure to the Company or its
      Subsidiaries, as the case may be, all ideas, discoveries, trade secrets,
      inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods of doing business,
      processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, data, software,
      firmware, logos and all similar or related information (whether or not
      patentable and whether or not reduced to practice) that relate to the Company's
      or its Subsidiaries' actual or anticipated business, research and development,
      or existing or future products or services relating to rechargeable
      electrochemical cells and/or batteries of any kind or nature and that are
      conceived, developed, acquired, contributed to, made, or reduced to practice
      by
      Employee (either solely or jointly with others) while employed by the Company
      or
      its Subsidiaries and for a period of one (1) year thereafter (collectively,
      "Work
      Product").
      Any
      copyrightable work falling within the definition of Work Product shall be deemed
      a "work made for hire" under the copyright laws of the United States, and
      ownership of all rights therein shall vest in the Company or its Subsidiary.
      To
      the extent that any Work Product is not deemed to be a "work made for hire,"
      Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company or such Subsidiary
      all right, title and interest, including without limitation, the intellectual
      property rights that Employee may have in and to such Work Product. Employee
      shall promptly perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board of
      Directors of the Company (whether during or after the Employment Period) to
      establish and confirm the Company's or such Subsidiary's ownership (including,
      without limitation, providing testimony and executing assignments, consents,
      powers of attorney, and other instruments). 

     

    7. Non-Compete,
      Non-Solicitation.
      In
      further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Employee hereunder,
      Employee acknowledges that during the course of Employee's employment with
      the
      Company and its Subsidiaries, Employee shall become familiar (and Employee
      has
      become familiar during Employee's employment by the Company prior to the date
      of
      this Agreement) with the Company's trade secrets and with other Confidential
      Information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and that Employee's
      services have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value
      to
      the Company and its Subsidiaries, and therefore, Employee agrees that, during
      the Employment Period and for twelve months thereafter (the "Non-compete
      Period"),
      Employee shall not directly or indirectly through another person or entity
      (i)
      induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary to
      leave the employ of the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere
      with
      the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof,
      (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary at
      any
      time during the Employment Period or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any
      customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation
      of
      the Company or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with the Company or such
      Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such
      customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company or any
      Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative or disparaging
      statements or communications regarding the Company or its
      Subsidiaries).

     

    8. Enforcement.
      If, at
      the time of enforcement of Section
      5,
      6
      or
7
      of this
      Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable
      under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum
      period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall
      be
      substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Employee's services
      are unique and because Employee has access to Confidential Information and
      Work
      Product, the parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate
      remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach
      or
      threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns,
      in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, shall be
      entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief
      from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce, or prevent any
      violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).
      In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Employee of
      Section
      7,
      the
      Non-compete Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been
      duly
      cured. Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section
      7
      are
      reasonable and that Employee has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement
      with
      Employee's legal counsel.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    9. Employee's
      Representations.
      Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the execution,
      delivery and performance of this Agreement by Employee do not and shall not
      conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement,
      instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Employee is a party or by which
      Employee is bound, (ii) Employee is not a party to or bound by any employment
      agreement, Non-compete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other
      person or entity and (iii) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement
      by
      the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of
      Employee, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Employee hereby acknowledges
      and represents that Employee has consulted with independent legal counsel
      regarding Employee's rights and obligations under this Agreement and that
      Employee fully understands the terms and conditions contained
      herein.

     

    10. Survival.
      Sections

      through

      notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Employment
      Period.

    GENERAL
      RELEASE

     

    I,
      Niles
      Berten, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Plastinum Polymer
      Technologies Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company"),
      of
      its material obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated December 6,
      2007,
      (the "Agreement"),
      do
      hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the Company and
      all
      present and former directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees,
      successors and assigns of the Company and its direct or indirect owners
      (collectively, the "Released
      Parties")
      to the
      extent provided below.

     

    
      	
              1.

            	
              I
                understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under
                Section
                4(b)
                of

                General
                Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already
                entitled. I understand and agree that I shall not receive the payments
                and
                benefits specified in Section
                4(b)
                of
                the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke
                this
                General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach
                this

              2.

            	
              Except
                as provided in Section
                4
                below, I knowingly and voluntarily release and forever discharge
                the
                Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims,
                controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims,

                fees, or
                liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past
                and
                present (through the date of this General Release) and whether known
                or
                unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company or any of the
                Released
                Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators
                or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my
                employment with, or my separation from, the Company (including, but
                not
                limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title
                VII

                attorneys' fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing
                collectively referred to herein as the "Claims").

            


    

     

    
      	
              3.

            	
              I
                represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right,
                claim,
                demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by Section
                2
                above.

            


    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

    

    
      	
              4.

            	
              I
                agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights
                or
                claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment
                Act of
                1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I
                acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the
                Company
                in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as
                the basis
                for any claim or action (including, without limitation, any claim
                under
                the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
                1967).

            


    

     

    
      	
              5.

            	
              In
                signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall
                be
                effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove
                mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release
                shall
                be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express
                terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected
                Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the
                effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and
                unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other
                Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree
                that this
                waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release
                and that
                without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms
                of the
                Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim
                seeking damages against the Company, or in the event I should seek
                to
                recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental
                agency
                on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense
                to
                such Claims. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending charge
                or
                complaint of the type described in Section
                2
                as
                of the execution of this General
                Release.

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.

            	
              I
                agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the
                consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed
                at
                any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or
                myself
                of any improper or unlawful
                conduct.

            


    

     

    
      	
              7.

            	
              I
                agree that I will forfeit all amounts payable by the Company pursuant
                to
                the Agreement if I challenge the validity of this General Release.
                I also
                agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company
                or the
                other Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending
                against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable
                attorneys' fees, and return all payments received by me pursuant
                to the
                Agreement.

            


    

     

    
      	
              8.

            	
              I
                agree that this General Release is confidential and agree not to
                disclose
                any information regarding the terms of this General Release, except
                to my
                immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted
                regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law, and
                I will
                instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to
                anyone.

            


    

     

    
      	
              9.

            	
              Any
                non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit
                or
                restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about
                this
                General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the
                Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial
                Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA),
                any other self-regulatory organization or governmental
                entity.

            


    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

    

    
      	
              10.

            	
              I
                agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company in any internal
                investigation or administrative, regulatory, or judicial proceeding.
                I
                understand and agree that my cooperation may include, but not be
                limited
                to, making myself available to the Company upon reasonable notice
                for
                interviews and factual investigations; appearing at the Company's
                request
                to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other
                legal
                process; volunteering to the Company pertinent information; and turning
                over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come
                into my
                possession all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent
                with my other permitted activities and commitments. I understand
                that in
                the event the Company asks for my cooperation in accordance with
                this
                provision, the Company will reimburse me for reasonable travel expenses,
                including lodging and meals, upon my submission of receipts and a
                reasonable per diem fee in such amount as determined by the board
                of
                directors of the Company.

            


    

     

    
      	
              11.

            	
              Notwithstanding
                anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release
                shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or
                claims
                arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party
                of the
                Agreement.

            


    

     

    
      	
              12.

            	
              Whenever
                possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted
                in,
                such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
                if any
                provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal
                or
                unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in
                any
                jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall
                not
                affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General
                Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction
                as
                if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
                contained herein.

            


    

     

    BY
      SIGNING THIS GENERAL RELEASE, I REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT:

     

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              I

              (b)

            	
              I
                UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS TERMS AND KNOW THAT I AM GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS,
                INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RIGHTS UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION

              (c)
