CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE I




As of 31-Dec-2009




Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania
€ 1.300.000




FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, LITHIUM TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with an address at 5115 Campus Drive, 19642 Plymouth Meeting, PA (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Stichting Gemeenschappelijk Bezit LTC with an address at Parkweg 2, 2585 JJ the Hague, the Netherlands (together with his successors and permitted assigns, the “Holder”), in accordance with the terms hereinafter provided, the principal amount of € 1,266,000 (EUROS), together with all accrued but unpaid interest, all as provided in this Convertible Promissory Note (as the same may be supplemented, modified, amended or restated from time to time in the manner provided herein, the “Note”).




Any payments hereunder shall be applied, first, against any accrued but unpaid interest and, second, against the outstanding principal balance of the Note.




Beginning on the date hereof, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears, at a rate equal to 10% per annum; provided, however, that such rate shall increase to 18% at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and shall be payable on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Note, the interest payable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of interest permissible to be charged under the laws of the State of New York. Any amounts paid in excess of such rate shall be considered to have been payments in reduction of principal.




The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in its entirety on December 31, 2010, or at such earlier time as provided herein (the “Maturity Date”). Principal and interest shall be payable in Euros in immediately available funds, at the address of the Holder first set forth above or at such other place, or by wire transfer of funds to such account of the Holder, as the Holder may designate from time to time in writing to the Company. This Note may, without the prior written consent of the Holder, be prepaid by the Company, only in full, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided that (i) the Company shall concurrently pay the Holder a prepayment premium equal to 2% of the amount so prepaid and (ii) this Note may not be prepaid without at least ten Business Days’ (as hereinafter defined) prior written notice to the Holder. For purposes hereof, “Business Day” shall mean any day, other than any Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania.

Article III


Conversion




3.1.     Conversion Option.




(a)     The outstanding principal amount of this Note and any interest outstanding hereunder shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option (the “Conversion Option”) of the Holder, at any time during the period from the date of this Note until the payment in full by the Company of the entire principal balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued thereon and any other amounts due hereunder (the “Conversion Period”), into either: (i) such number of the Company’s shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to the quotient of (A) the amount of unpaid principal and interest outstanding hereunder being converted, converted from Euros into Dollars based upon the Exchange Rate of the Euro to the Dollar at the date hereof, divided by (B) the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) per share of Common Stock then in effect, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which the principal amount and the interest amount can be converted to, is given in Exhibit A; or (ii) any equity securities (or debt securities convertible into equity securities) of any series or class issued by the Company at any time following the date hereof, at an effective conversion price equal to the Conversion Price,(provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any securities issued upon exercise of any stock option outstanding on the date hereof or securities hereafter issued to employees and directors of the Company pursuant to stock option or stock purchase plans or an arm’s length agreement adopted or approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, provided that the aggregate amount of Common Stock deemed issued or issuable under all such transactions described in this parenthetical sentence does not exceed two percent (2%) of the number of shares then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis calculated immediately post-issuance). “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.04, as such price shall be appropriately adjusted from time to time in the event of any equity split, dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar event by the Company with respect to its equity securities. The Common Stock and other securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Securities”.

(b)     The Holder may, at any time and from time to time during the Conversion Period, exercise the Conversion Option. To convert this Note (in whole or in part) in accordance with Section 3.1(a), the Holder hereof shall deliver written notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit “B” to this Note, with appropriate insertions (the “Conversion Notice”), to the Company at its address as set forth herein. The date upon which the conversion shall be effective (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date set forth in the Conversion Notice. Within five Business Days after the date of the receipt of the Notification of Conversion by the Company, the Company shall deliver to the Holder one or more certificates representing the number “Conversion Securities” and, in the event of a partial conversion, a confirmation that this Convertible Promissory Note will remain valid for the remainder of the principal balance and the remainder of the outstanding interest balance, such certificates and confirmation, if applicable, shall the Notice of Conversion for all purposes be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the date of the receipt of this Note by the Company.




(c)     The Company shall provide the Holder at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any repayment by the Company of this Note or any other event that, if it were to occur, would impair the right of the Holder to convert this Note.




(d)     The Company recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.1 will cause irreparable and material harm to the Holder, that the Holder may bring a suit to enforce or remedy a breach of the provisions of this Section 3.1, that in any such suit an action for damages would be inadequate, and that the Holder may seek and obtain such equitable relief (without being required to post a bond or other security), including but not limited to injunctive relief, as may be appropriate in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.




3.2.     Certain Rights of the Holder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive distributions or to consent or to receive notice as a member in respect of any meeting of members for the election of directors (as the case may be) of the Company or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

5.2.     The Company initially will take steps to reserve Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for the Note equal to 130% of the quotient of (i) the amount of unpaid principal and interest outstanding hereunder divided by (ii) the Conversion Price as of the Issuance Date. Thereafter, a as long as the Note is outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, 130% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion at the then-effective Conversion Price of the Note (the “Required Reserve Amount”).
