FOR VALUE RECEIVED , LITHIUM TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION , a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of                      or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of                      ($                      ), on                      (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from                      (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. Interest shall commence accruing on the issue date, shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable annually in shares of common stock, $.01 per value per share, of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”) valued at the then applicable Conversion Price (as herein defined) on December 31 of each year beginning on December 31, 2004, or at the time of conversion of the principal to which such interest relates in accordance with Article I below.

 

All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in shares of Common Stock of the Borrower valued at the then applicable Conversion Price. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

 

Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Subscription Agreement and the Borrower to which this Note relates, as amended from time to time, pursuant to which the Holder subscribed to purchase


shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Borrower and thereafter elected to receive this Note in lieu of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Subscription Agreement”).

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the Holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

1.

CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

The Holder shall have the following conversion rights with respect to this Note (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

A. Right to Convert . At any time on or after the date on the Note, the Holder may, at such Holder’s option, elect to convert (a “Voluntary Conversion”) all or any portion of this Note into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) $1,000 divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) then in effect as of the date of the delivery by the Holder of its notice of election to convert. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to any security holder of the Company. In the event of such a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Company shall provide to the Holder notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, which notice shall be sent at least fifteen (15) days prior to the termination of the Conversion Rights.

 

B. Mechanics of Voluntary Conversion . The Voluntary Conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

1. Holder’s Delivery Requirements . To convert this Note into full shares of Common Stock on any date (the “Voluntary Conversion Date”), the Holder thereof shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”), to the Company, and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such Voluntary Conversion Date but in no event later than three (3) business days after such date this Note and the originally executed Conversion Notice.

 

2. Company’s Response . Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of the fully executed Conversion Notice, the Company or its designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the Company of the fully executed Conversion Notice (so long as this Note and original Conversion Notice are received by the Company on or before such third business day), issue and deliver to the Holder as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.


3. Dispute Resolution . In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to promptly issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile as soon as possible, but in no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of such Holder’s Conversion Notice. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion within one (1) business day of such disputed arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall within one (1) business day submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the accountant to perform the calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than seventy-two (72) hours from the time it receives the disputed calculations. Such accountant’s calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable expenses of such accountant in making such determination shall be paid by the Company, in the event the Holder’s calculation was correct, or by the Holder, in the event the Company’s calculation was correct, or equally by the Company and the Holder in the event that neither the Company’s or the Holder’s calculation was correct. The period of time in which the Company is required to effect conversions under this Certificate of Designation shall be tolled with respect to the subject conversion pending resolution of any dispute by the Company made in good faith and in accordance with this Section.

 

4. Record Holder . The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

C. Mandatory Conversion .

 

1. If this Note is outstanding in whole or in part on the Mandatory Conversion Date it shall automatically and without any action on the part of the Holder, convert into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) $1,000 divided by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

2. As used herein, “Mandatory Conversion Date” shall be the date that is three years after the date of issuance of this Note. The Mandatory Conversion Date and the Voluntary Conversion Date collectively are referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.”

 

3. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, any amounts outstanding under this Note shall be converted automatically without any further action by the Holder and whether or not this Note surrendered to the Company or its Transfer Agent; provided , however , that the Company shall not be obligated to issue the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless this Note is either delivered to the Company or the Holder notifies the Company that such Note has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the occurrence of the automatic conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and the Company shall cause


its Transfer Agent to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (in the same manner set forth in Section I C.2.) to the Holder within three (3) business days of the Holder’s delivery of this Note.

 

D. Conversion Price . The term “Conversion Price” shall mean the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to adjustments as set forth herein). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean the Applicable Percentage (as defined herein) multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein). “Market Price” means the average of the average Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day (as defined below) period ending one Trading Day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent by the Holder to the Company via facsimile (the “Conversion Date”). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the intraday trading price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority the Notes and the Company or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such shares of Common Stock, the intraday trading price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no intraday trading price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the intraday trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holders of a majority of the shares of Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. “Applicable Percentage” shall mean 80.0%.

 

E. Adjustments of Conversion Price .

 

1. Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions . If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had their Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such Note (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Note; provided , however , that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further , however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the Holder of this Note simultaneously receives a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common
