LITHIUM TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

Secured Convertible Debenture

Due October 7, 2006

This Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) is issued by LITHIUM TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Obligor”), to CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP (the “Holder”), pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) of even date herewith.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Obligor hereby promises to pay to the Holder or its successors and assigns the principal sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) together with accrued but unpaid interest on or before October 7, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”) in accordance with the following terms:

Interest. Interest shall begin to accrue on the date hereof. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to eight percent (8%). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Holder or its assignee (as defined in Section 4) in whose name this Debenture is registered on the records of the Obligor regarding registration and transfers of Debentures (the “Debenture Register”). The Obligor shall make monthly payments of interest commencing on January 1, 2006 and each subsequent payment shall be due and payable on the same day of each subsequent calendar month (each an “Interest Payment”).

Monthly Payments. The Obligor shall make monthly scheduled payments (“Scheduled Payments”) consisting of principal and accrued interest. The first Scheduled Payment shall be due and payable on January 1, 2006 and shall be in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) plus interest. After the first Scheduled Payment, each subsequent Scheduled Payment shall be due and payable on the same day of each subsequent calendar month until the

Maturity Date. The principal amount of each Scheduled Payment shall be determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture as of the date of such Scheduled Payment by the number of Scheduled Payments remaining until the Maturity Date. For example, if on the date of the first Scheduled Payment the outstanding principal balance of this Debenture is $150,000 and there are 7 Scheduled Payments remaining prior to the Maturity Date then the first Scheduled Payment would consist of $21,429 of principal plus accrued interest at the interest rate specified above. All payments in respect of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be made in collected funds, and shall be applied to principal, accrued interest and charges and expenses owing under or in connection with this Debenture in such order as the Holder elects, except that payments shall be applied to accrued interest before principal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Debenture shall become due and immediately payable, including all accrued but unpaid interest, upon an Event of Default (as defined in Section 2 hereof). The Obligor represents, warrants and covenants that it shall not use any proceeds received under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement between the Obligor and Cornell Capital Partners, LP dated March 11, 2005 to repay any outstanding principal or interest of this Debenture during such period of time as the Holder is Cornell Capital Partners, LP.

Right of Redemption. At any time prior to January 7, 2006 the Obligor at its option shall have the right, with three (3) business days advance written notice (the “Early Redemption Notice”), to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Debenture in an amount equal to the principal amount outstanding and accrued interest being redeemed (the “Early Redemption Amount”). The Obligor shall deliver to the Holder the Early Redemption Amount on the third (3^rd) business day after the Early Redemption Notice.

If the closing bid price of the of the Obligor’s Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg, LP, is less than the Conversion Price, the Obligor at its option shall have the right, with three (3) business days advance written notice (the “Redemption Notice”), to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Debenture prior to the Maturity Date or any Scheduled Payment date in an amount equal to the principal amount outstanding and accrued interest being redeemed, plus a redemption premium of fifteen percent (15%) (“Redemption Premium”) of the amount redeemed (collectively referred to as the “Redemption Amount”). The Obligor shall deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount on the third (3^rd) business day after the Redemption Notice.

In the event that the Obligor redeems a portion of the amount outstanding under this Debenture, or the Holder converts a portion of the principal amount outstanding and accrued interest under this Debenture as contemplated herein, the Obligor shall be entitled to an off-set of the amount of principal and accrued interest due pursuant to the Schedule Payment equal to the amount of principal and accrued interest redeemed or converted (the “Off-Set Amount”). In such event the Obligor shall still be obligated to make a Scheduled Payment reduced by the Off-Set Amount as contemplated hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing in the event that the Obligor has elected to redeem a portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under this Debenture the Holder shall still be entitled to effectuate Conversions as contemplated hereunder.

Security Agreements. This Debenture is secured by a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) between the Holder and the Obligor and a Pledge and Escrow Agreement (the “Pledge and Escrow Agreement”) of even date herewith among the Obligor, the Holder, and the Escrow Agent.

Consent of Holder to Sell Capital Stock or Grant Security Interests, etc. For so long as at least $100,000 principal amount of this Debenture is outstanding, the Obligor shall not, except as set forth on Schedule II to the Securities Purchase Agreement or shares of Common Stock issued to Cornell Capital Partners LP pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement between the Obligor and Cornell Capital Partners, LP or as permitted under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, without the prior consent of the Holder (a) issue or sell shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date of its issuance, (b) issue any warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security instrument granting the holder thereof, the right to acquire Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration less than the Closing Bid Price on the date of its issuance, (c) enter into any security instrument after the date of this Debenture granting the holder a security interest in any or all assets of the Company (provided that the Company may enter into security agreements with a third party relating to establishment of a line of credit with a bank, or other financial institution relating to the purchase, lease, and/or financing of equipment), or (d) file any registration statement on Form S-8 except to register securities to be issued under a stock incentive plan of the Company up to a maximum of 6,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock. Issuances of capital stock permitted under this Section are defined as “Permitted Securities”.

This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:

Section 3. Conversion.

(a) (i) Conversion at Option of Holder.

(A) This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 4) (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) hereof). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3(c)(i)). The Obligor shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder prior to the Fifth (5^th) Trading Day after a Conversion Date.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock, is insufficient to pay principal and interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on the OTC or on a Subsequent Market; (3) the Obligor has failed to timely satisfy its conversion; or (4) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would result in a violation of Section 3(a)(ii), then, at the option of the Holder, the Obligor, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)(A), shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be converted plus any interest due therein divided by the Conversion Price and multiplied by the highest closing price of the stock from date of the conversion notice till the date that such cash payment is made.

Further, if the Obligor shall not have delivered any cash due in respect of conversion of this Debenture or as payment of interest thereon by the fifth (5^th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to the Obligor, require the Obligor to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c), except that for such purpose the Conversion Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any such shares will be subject to the provisions of this Section.

(C) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Obligor a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”). The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the “Conversion Date.” Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this Debenture, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Obligor in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Obligor shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.

(ii) Certain Conversion Restrictions.

(A) A Holder may not convert this Debenture or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent such conversion or receipt of such interest payment would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of interest on, this Debenture held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Obligor the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder

determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Obligor shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 3(a)(i)(A) and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Obligor. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(b) (i) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the Obligor ‘s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(ii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Obligor fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)(A) by the fifth (5^th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, and if after such fifth (5^th) Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Obligor shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated receiving from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the market price of the Common Stock at the time of the sale giving rise to such purchase obligation and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue a Debenture in the principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Obligor timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 3(a)(i)(A). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Debentures with respect to which the market price of the Underlying Shares on the date of conversion was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Obligor shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Obligor written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

(c) (i) The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.06, which may be adjusted pursuant to the other terms of this Debenture.

(ii) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Obligor, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

(iii) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants (plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase), and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants, plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at the Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any such right, option or warrant to purchase shares of the Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section, if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed and effective immediately upon such expiration be increased to the price which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section after the issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Price made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of the Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants actually exercised.

(iv) If the Obligor or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock other than Excluded Antidilution Securities (as herein defined) at a price per share less than the Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common

Stock at a price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price), then, at the sole option of the Holder, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to mirror the conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Obligor shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) business day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this Section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms. No adjustment under this Section shall be made as a result of issuances and exercises of options to purchase shares of Common Stock issued for compensatory purposes pursuant to any of the Obligor’s stock option or stock purchase plans.

(v) If the Obligor, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price at which this Debenture shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Closing Bid Price on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(vi) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to, at its option, (A) convert the then outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this Debenture into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of the Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder of this Debenture shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Obligor into which the then outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled, or (B) require the Obligor to prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus all interest and other amounts due and payable thereon. The entire prepayment price shall be paid in cash. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share exchanges.

(vii) The Obligor shall maintain a share reserve of not less than 100% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture; and within three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the Obligor of a Holder’s notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Obligor shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement.

(viii) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded up to the nearest $0.001 of a share.

(ix) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Obligor shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(x) If (A) the Obligor shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Obligor shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Obligor shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Obligor shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Obligor is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Obligor, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or (E) the Obligor shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Obligor; then, in each case, the Obligor shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Obligor, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day calendar period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

(xi) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Obligor or any subsidiary of the Obligor with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Obligor or any subsidiary of the Obligor of more than one-half of the assets of the Obligor in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section 2(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which such aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been

entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Debenture then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued convertible Debenture shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible Debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.

(d) The Obligor covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Obligor as to reservation of such shares set forth in this Debenture) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Sections 2(b) and 3(c)) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Obligor covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Underlying Shares Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration Statement.

(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the Obligor shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Closing Bid Price at such time. If the Obligor elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.
