PROMISSORY NOTE

U.S. $1,500,000.00    August 13, 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Tecogen Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (“Borrower”), with offices located at 45 First Avenue, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, agrees to pay to John N. Hatsopoulos (“Lender”), residing at 3 Woodcock Lane, Lincoln, Massachusetts 01773, or order, the principal sum of  One Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,500,000), or so much of that sum as may be advanced under that certain Revolving Line of Credit Agreement between Borrower and Lender, dated March 25, 2013, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”), on March 1, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”), together with interest from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance at the rate specified below, until repaid in full. Prepayment of principal, together with accrued interest, may be made at any time without penalty, provided that prepayment of interest may not be made prior to January 1, 2014. Interest hereon shall accrue from the date hereof at the Bank Prime Rate as quoted from time to time in the Wall Street Journal plus one and one half percent (1.5%) per annum.  

In the event that any amount of principal hereof, or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any interest hereon or any other amount payable hereunder is not paid in full when due (whether as scheduled, on demand, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on such unpaid amount to Lender, from the date such amount becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full, payable on demand of Lender at a rate per annum equal at all times to 12% per annum (the “Default Rate”). Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (as defined below), at the option of Lender, the interest rate shall be the Default Rate. Such interest on overdue amounts shall be payable on demand. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by Lender of any applicable rate of interest, and of any change therein, in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

Payment shall be made in lawful tender of the United States unconditionally in full without set-off, counterclaim or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other defense, all of which rights of Borrower are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. All payments hereunder shall be made to Lender at Lender’s address set forth above (or to such other place as Lender shall designate in a written notice to Borrower), and, unless Borrower has obtained Lender’s written consent to another form of payment, such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds by no later than 12:00 noon (Boston time) on the due date of the payment, in accordance with Lender’s payment instructions. 

Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due, or whenever any interest payment date or any other date specified hereunder would otherwise occur, on a day other than a Business Day (as defined below), then such payment shall be made, and such interest payment date or other date shall occur, on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest hereunder. As used herein, “Business Day” means a day (i) other 

{B1612719; 2}        

than Saturday or Sunday, and (ii) on which commercial banks are open for business in Boston, Massachusetts. 

Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:

(i)    Organization and Powers. Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite power and authority to own its assets and carry on its business and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note. 

(ii)    Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Note have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Borrower and do not and will not (A) contravene the terms of the organizational documents of Borrower; or (B) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any material lease, instrument, contract or other agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected; or (C) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or the like binding on or affecting Borrower.
    
(iii)    Binding Obligations. This Note constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms.

(iv)    Consents. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of, or filing or registration with, any governmental authority or agency, or approval or consent of any other person or entity is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of this Note.

If any event listed in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement (each an “Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing, Lender may, by notice to Borrower, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note, all interest accrued and unpaid hereon and all other amounts due hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the principal hereof, all such accrued interest and all such other amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, provided that if an event described in paragraph (c) above shall occur, the result which would otherwise occur only upon giving of notice by Lender to Borrower as specified above shall occur automatically, without the giving of any such notice.

Borrower agrees to pay on demand the costs and expenses of Lender, and fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with any Event of Default, the enforcement or attempted enforcement of, and preservation of any rights or interests under, this Note, and any out-of-court workout or other refinancing or restructuring or any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding.

No single or partial exercise of any power under this Note shall preclude any other or further exercise of such power or exercise of any other power. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right under this Note shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right thereunder.

Any notices or other communications required or permitted under this Note shall be sufficiently given if delivered personally, sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or sent by Federal Express or similar courier service to the other party at its address first set forth above or at such other address as either party may specify by written notice to the other party. Unless otherwise specified herein, such notices or other communications shall be deemed received (a) on the date delivered, if 

{B1612719; 2}        

delivered personally; (b) three business days after being sent, if sent by registered or certified mail; or (c) the next business day, if delivered by Federal Express or similar courier service.

This Note shall be binding on Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender, any future holder of this Note and their respective successors and assigns. Borrower may not assign or transfer this Note or any of its obligations hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

Borrower hereby (a) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Federal courts of the United States sitting in the District of Massachusetts (collectively, the “Massachusetts Courts”), for the purpose of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note, (b) irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any objection which it now or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any of the Massachusetts Courts, and any objection on the ground that any such action or proceeding in any Massachusetts Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (c) agrees that (to the extent permitted by applicable law) a final judgment in any such action or proceeding brought in a Massachusetts Court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner permitted by law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower signing below by its duly authorized legal representative(s) has executed this Note as of the date first above mentioned.

2.        Acceptance of Agreement

It is understood and agreed that this Subscription is made subject to the following terms and conditions:
a.The Company shall have the right to accept or reject this Subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason, the ineligibility of a subscriber under applicable state or foreign securities laws, for any other reason or for no reason. If this Subscription is rejected, the Funds previously delivered to the Company will be returned to the Investor.

b.    Two complete copies of this Agreement will be executed by the Investor. If this Subscription is accepted, one copy of this Common Stock Purchase Agreement as accepted by the Company shall be delivered to the Investor.      

c.    If this Subscription is accepted in part and rejected in part, the Investor will be so notified, at which time the excess Funds previously delivered to the Company will be returned to the Investor.

         3.        Representations and Warranties of the Investor

In order to induce the Company to accept this Agreement, the Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

a.    If the Investor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity, (i) such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and under any other document or agreement contemplated hereby; and (ii) the execution, delivery, and performance by the Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate 

- 1-

Exhibit 10.19

or similar action on the part of the Investor.  If the Investor is an individual, such Investor has full legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and any related document or agreement to which he or she is a party, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out his or her obligations hereunder and thereunder.  This Agreement, and any related document or agreement to which the Investor is a party, has been duly executed by the Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

b.    THE INVESTOR HAS READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS CONSULTED THE INVESTOR'S OWN ATTORNEY, ACCOUNTANT OR INVESTMENT ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO THE INVESTMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND ITS SUITABILITY FOR THE INVESTOR.  THE INVESTOR HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF AND RECEIVED ANSWERS FROM THE COMPANY, OR A PERSON OR PERSONS ACTING ON THE COMPANY'S BEHALF, CONCERNING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS INVESTMENT AND THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY, AND HAS RECEIVED AND REVIEWED ALL ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THE BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY THAT HE OR SHE HAS REASONABLY REQUESTED.  

c.    The Investor (i) has no need for liquidity in the investment in the Shares, (ii) is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period, and (iii) at the present time, could afford the complete loss of such investment in the Shares.

d.    The address set forth at the end of this Agreement is the Investor's true and correct residence, and the Investor has no present intention of changing such residence to any other state or jurisdiction.

e.    The Investor confirms that all documents, records and books pertaining to the investment in the Company reasonably requested by the Investor have been made available to the Investor. The undersigned has relied only on such documents and that no written or oral representation or information inconsistent with such information has been made or furnished to the Investor in connection with the Shares and if so made, has not been relied upon.

f.    The Investor understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, nor pursuant to the provisions of the securities laws or other laws of any other applicable jurisdictions, in reliance on exemptions for private offerings contained in the Securities Act and in the laws of such jurisdictions. The Investor represents to the Company that he is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Investor is fully aware that the Shares to which he or she is subscribing are to be sold in reliance upon such exemptions based upon his or her representations, warranties and agreements set forth in this Agreement. The Investor is fully aware that he or she must bear the economic risk of his or her investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, therefore, cannot be offered or sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor further understands that the Company has no intention and is under no obligation to register its Shares under the Securities Act or to comply with the requirements for any exemption that might otherwise be available, or to supply the Investor with any information necessary to enable the Investor to make routine sales of the Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (which it understands is not now, and will not likely be, available) or any rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor thereto.

- 2-

Exhibit 10.19

g.    The Investor understands that the certificate(s) representing the Shares will bear the following legend restricting its transfer and that a notation restricting such transfer will be made on the stock transfer books of the Company:

“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THESE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO THEIR DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SHARES UNDER THE ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

h.    The Shares are being acquired solely for the Investor's own account, for investment and are not being purchased with a view to or for the resale or other distribution of the Shares; and the Investor has no present plans to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement relating to any resale or other distribution of the Shares.

i.    The Investor understands that this Subscription may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, and this Agreement, unless properly revoked before the completion of the sale of the Shares to the Investor, shall survive the Investor’s death, disability or insolvency, except that the Investor shall have no obligations in the event that this Subscription is rejected by the Company.

j.    The Investor understands that, although the Company is a “reporting company” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Shares are subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.  Routine sales of the Shares made in reliance on the provisions of Rule 144 can be made only in limited amounts and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144. There can be no assurance that the conditions necessary to permit routine sales of the Shares under Rule 144 will be satisfied at any given time.  The Investor further understands that in connection with sales of securities for which Rule 144 is not available, compliance with some other exemption from registration will be required.  The Investor understands that the Company is under no obligation to the undersigned to register the Shares or to comply with the conditions of Rule 144 or take any other action necessary in order to make available any exemption for the sale of the Shares without registration.

k.    The Investor has been advised to consult with the Investor’s own attorney regarding legal, tax, and other matters concerning an investment in the Company and has done so, to the extent the undersigned considers necessary.

l.        The Investor acknowledges and is aware of the following:

(i)    that the Shares are a speculative investment and involve a high degree of risk of loss by the Investor of the Investor's entire investment in the Company;

(ii)    that there is no guarantee that the Investor will realize any gain from his or her investment in the Company and that the Investor may lose his or her entire investment;

(iii)     that the Company has no current plan or intention to issue dividends with respect to the Shares;

- 3-

Exhibit 10.19

(iv)    that there has never been any representation, guarantee or warranty made to the Investor by any broker, the Company, its agents or employees or any other person, expressly or by implication, as to:

(A)    the approximate or exact length of time that the Investor will be required to remain as owner of the Shares; or

(B)    the past performance or experience on the part of the officers or directors of the Company, or of any other person, that will in any way indicate the predictable results of the ownership of the Shares or any such other securities, or of the overall business of the Company;

(v)    that the Company may in the future issue additional shares of capital stock in the Company, and that the Investor's interest in the Company may thereby become diluted.

m.    The Investor represents that the Investor was contacted regarding the sale of the Shares by a representative of the Company with whom the Investor had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship, and in connection therewith, the Investor did not receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other similar communication. In addition, the Investor did not become interested in a purchase of the securities of the Company as a result of any registration statement of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

n.    The residence or principal place of business of the Investor is set forth below on the signature page to this Agreement, and all communications between the Investor and the Company regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement took place within or from the state of such residence or principal place of business.

The Investor acknowledges that he or she understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties and acknowledgments contained in this Agreement. The Investor confirms that such representations, warranties and acknowledgments are true and accurate as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and accurate as of the date of delivery of the Funds to the Company and shall survive such delivery. If in any respect such representations and warranties shall not be true and accurate prior to acceptance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, the Investor shall give written notice of such fact to the Company, specifying which representations and warranties are not true and accurate and the reasons therefor.

4.    Indemnification. The Investor acknowledges that he or she understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of this Agreement, and the Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and each officer, director, representative and agent of the Company and any person or entity controlling the Company from and against any and all loss, cost, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees) due to or arising out of a breach of any representation or warranty of the Investor contained in this Agreement.

5.    No Waiver. Notwithstanding any of the representations, warranties, acknowledgments or agreements made in this Agreement by the Investor, the Investor does not thereby or in any other manner waive any rights granted to the Investor under federal and state securities law.

6.    Transferability. The Investor agrees not to transfer or assign this Agreement, or any of the Investor's interest in this Agreement, and further agrees that any assignment or transfer of the Shares shall be made only in accordance with applicable securities laws and that an appropriate legend with respect thereto may be placed by the Company on any certificate evidencing such Shares.

7.    Revocation. The Investor agrees that he or she shall not cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement.

- 4-

Exhibit 10.19

8.    Termination of Agreement. If any representation or warranty of the Investor contained in Section 3 of this Agreement shall not be true prior to acceptance of this Agreement, and written notice of such fact has been given by the Investor to the Company, then and in any such event this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, and no party shall have any rights against any other party under this Agreement or otherwise, and the Company shall promptly return to the Investor the Funds together with all agreements executed by the Investor.

9.    Dispute Resolution

a.    All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  If AAA ceases operation, then the parties shall select a comparable organization that provides qualified arbitration services.  The arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by AAA unless specifically modified herein.

b.    The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration hearing shall commence within ninety (90) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto.  In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses.  In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party.  However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission.  In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration hearing, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration hearing or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within three (3) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any finding of liability or award of damages.  The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
c.    The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise provided herein.  The arbitrator may in his or her discretion assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party whether claimant or respondent) against any party to a proceeding.  Any party failing or refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Nothing in this Section 9 shall prohibit any party from proceeding in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of seeking a temporary or permanent injunction to avoid immediate and irreparable harm.  The provisions of this Section 9 shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
d.    Unless otherwise ordered, the parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration.  The parties will share equally in the fees and expenses charged by AAA.
e.    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive use of AAA to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the federal or state courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 9a of this Agreement.  Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before AAA based upon 

- 5-

Exhibit 10.19

lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before AAA has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.

		
	10.
	Miscellaneous

a.    All notices or other communications given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by (a) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (b) overnight air courier, fees prepaid, to the Investor at his or her address set forth below and to the Company at its address set forth at the outset of this Agreement.

b.    Failure of the Company to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and the Investor, or delay by the Company in exercising the same, will not operate as a waiver of such right or remedy.  No waiver by the Company will be effective unless and until it is in writing and signed on behalf of the Company.

c.    Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, all the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles.  

d.    This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.  This Agreement cannot be assigned, amended or modified by the parties hereto, except by written agreement executed by the parties hereto.  

e.    This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

f.    If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

g.    This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and may be amended only by a writing executed by all parties.
