                               EXIDE CORPORATION
                      NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     This Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (this "Agreement"), is made as of
August 7, 2000 by Exide Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in
favor of David G. Enstone (the "Optionee") Senior Vice President, Marketing,
Sales and Service.

the Company, on August 7, 2000 (the "Grant Date") the Company granted to the
Optionee an option (the "Option") to acquire 100,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Option Shares").

     The Option was not granted pursuant to a stock option plan, however, the
option is subject to the administrative provisions of the Company's 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan").  Certain terms used herein are defined in paragraph
7 below.

     The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

          1.   Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and

               Price"), payable upon exercise as set forth in Section 7(c) of
               the Plan. The Option shall expire at the close of business on the

               subject to earlier expiration as provided in section 7(b)(2) of
               the Plan. The Exercise Price and the number and kind of shares of
               the Company's common stock or other property for which the Option
               may be exercised shall be subject to adjustment as provided in
               Section 9 of the Plan. The Option is not intended to qualify as
               an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of
               the Code.

          2.   Exercisability/Vesting

                         the first four anniversaries of the Grant Date for so

                         Company and shall become fully vested on the fourth
                         anniversary of the Grant Date.

provided to Buyer:

                                    (i) a complete and accurate copy of Seller's
                  and its relevant Affiliates' customer lists, including
                  relevant sales data, relating exclusively to the Product;

                                    (ii) a complete and accurate copy of all
                  Regulatory Approvals, regulatory filings, documents and
                  correspondence relating to the Product;

                  (g) such other instruments and documents, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller, as may be necessary to

                  Section 2.6 Fixed Payments. Buyer shall pay to Seller the
Fixed Payment for Fixed Payment Quarter One in accordance with Section 2.4(a)
and shall pay to Seller, all other Fixed Payments within thirty (30) days after
the commencement of the corresponding Fixed Payment Quarter, as set forth in
Exhibit A, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a U.S. bank
account of Seller to be designated by Seller.

                  Section 2.7 Royalty Payments.

                  (a) Buyer shall (i) within forty-five (45) days after the
expiration of each quarter of each Contract Year, pay to Seller the Royalty
Payment for such quarterly period, as set forth in Exhibit A, by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to a U.S. bank account of Seller to be designated
by Seller and (ii) no later than sixty (60) days after the expiration of each
Contract Year, deliver to Seller a statement setting forth Buyer's determination
of the Net Sales for the corresponding Contract Year and Buyer's determination
of the Royalty Payments payable or paid to Seller corresponding to such Contract
Year, accompanied by a certificate executed on behalf of Buyer by the chief
financial officer of Buyer, to the effect that, to the best of such officer's
knowledge after due inquiry, said determinations were made in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

                  (b) During the two (2) year period commencing upon Seller's
receipt of the statement delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 2.7(a) of this
Agreement, Seller may deliver to Buyer a written notice requesting that
independent certified public accountants selected by Seller and reasonably
acceptable to Buyer review Buyer's determinations of Net Sales and the amount of
the corresponding Royalties Payment, as set forth in such statement; provided
that such certified public accountants shall be subject to a customary
non-disclosure agreement with Buyer. If Seller delivers such a written notice to
Buyer during such two (2) year period, then, without limiting the generality of
Section 2.7(d) of this Agreement, Buyer shall allow, and cooperate with, such
auditors to prepare, within sixty (60) days after the delivery of such written
notice to Buyer, during normal business hours and not more than two (2) times
per Contract Year, a report of the audit of Buyer's certificate and statements
to the effect that, subject to any adjustments expressly set forth in such
report, said determinations were made in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the audit reveals that any
Royalty Payment hereunder was less than the amount actually due, Buyer shall
deliver to Seller the entire shortfall amount within ten (10) days after the
completion of the audit; provided, further that in the event such that any
Royalty Payment hereunder was less than the amount actually due and

                                       7
<PAGE>

payable by five percent (5%) or more, then all costs of the audit shall be borne
by Buyer. Otherwise Seller shall bear the cost of the audit, without limitation
to Buyer's obligation to pay any shortfall. In the event that the audit reveals
that any Royalty Payments hereunder exceeded the amount actually due, Seller
shall reimburse the Buyer for the entire overpayment within ten (10) days after
completion of the audit.

                  (c) Buyer shall keep, and shall cause each Person which shall
use or have access to the Purchased Assets, including any applicable licensees,
sublicensees and Affiliates thereof, to keep full and accurate books of account
containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating
the Royalty Payments. Such books of account, with all necessary supporting data,
shall be kept at their respective principal places of business and shall
continue to be kept for the respective two (2) year period set forth in Section
2.7(c).

                  Section 2.8 Withholding. Buyer shall pay all Fixed Payments
and Royalty Payments in U.S. dollars in the full amount owed, without any
reduction, withholding or set-off for Taxes imposed with respect to such
payments. Should any Taxes be required by Applicable Law to be withheld, Buyer
shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, on a net after-Tax basis, from such
Taxes by (a) making all such Tax payments as required and (b) making such
additional payments to Seller as may be required so that, net of Taxes payable
in respect of the amounts withheld and such additional payments, Seller shall
receive the amount it would have received had no such withholdings been
required. In addition, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, on a net
after-Tax basis, from any Taxes imposed directly on the Seller with respect to
all Fixed Payments and Royalty Payments, other than Taxes imposed on Seller by a
jurisdiction in which Seller is treated as resident for reasons other than
receipt of these payments (or in which Seller is treated as engaged in business
for reasons other than receipt of these payments, to the extent that the Fixed
Payments and/or Royalty Payments are treated by that jurisdiction as connected
with such business). If, by reason of a Tax payment made by Buyer on behalf of
or for the account of Seller, Seller receives a Tax refund of, or credit
against, income taxes otherwise owed by Seller, Seller shall pay promptly to
Buyer the lesser of (i) such Tax refund or credit or (ii) such Tax payment made
by Buyer.

                  Section 2.9 Interest. If Buyer fails to make any payment
required to be made under this Agreement, including any Fixed Payment or Royalty
Payment or any shortfall amount under Section 2.7(b), then Buyer shall be
required to pay Seller interest on the overdue amount, over the period
commencing on the date when such payment was due and ending when such amount is
paid or when the obligation to pay such amount is otherwise satisfied, at a
floating rate equal to the lesser of (a) the rate five hundred (500) basis
points above the Prime Rate; or (b) the highest rate permitted under applicable
law.

                  Section 2.10 Allocation.

                  (a) Prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall agree upon a
statement (the "Allocation Statement") setting forth the respective values of
the Purchased Assets, and the allocation of the consideration among the
Purchased Assets, as determined under Section 1060 of the Code.

                                       8
<PAGE>

                  (b) Unless otherwise required by law, Seller and Buyer agree
to act in accordance with such Allocation Statement for all Tax purposes
including filing all tax returns (including without limitation filing Form 8594
with its federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the date
of the Closing) and conducting of any tax audit, tax review or tax litigation
relating thereto in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement.

                  (c) Seller and Buyer agree to adjust the Allocation Statement
as necessary, consistent with Section 1060 of the Code, based on Royalty
Payments actually made pursuant to Section 2.7.

                  Section 2.11 Returns. As of the Closing Date and thereafter,
Buyer shall be responsible for all returns of Product sold in the Territory;
provided, however, that, for a period of three (3) months from the Closing Date,
if such returns exceed the historical and normal rate of return during the
twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing Date and Buyer has not taken any
actions in connection with the Product which is inconsistent with Seller's past
business practices, including without limitation a reduction or announced
reduction in price, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the costs of returns in
excess of such rate.

                  Section 2.12 Exchange Rate. Monetary conversions from the
currency of a foreign country in which Net Sales are generated shall be made at
the rate of exchange at which U.S. dollars are legally obtainable at the Chase
Manhattan Bank in New York City (or its successor) on the last business day of
the quarterly period for which said amounts are being paid.

                  Section 2.13 Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall be liable for and
shall pay all transfer, sales, use, withholding, stamp duty, value added and
similar taxes payable in connection with the conveyance and transfer of the
Purchased Assets by Seller to Buyer. Buyer shall file all required tax returns
and other documentation with respect to such taxes, subject to review by Seller,
and, if required by Applicable Law, Seller will join in the execution of any
such tax returns and other documentation.

reasonably related to the Regulatory Approvals.

                  (b) After the Closing, Buyer shall be solely responsible and
bear all costs for conducting all activities in connection with the Regulatory
Approvals, including, without limitation, communicating and preparing and filing
all reports (including, without limitation, adverse drug experience reports and
filings and submissions relating to the transfer of the Regulatory Approvals
hereunder) with the appropriate Governmental Authorities in the Territory and
interacting with any third parties with respect to Product sold or distributed
in the Territory; provided, however, that for up to ninety (90) days after the
Closing Date, Seller, shall reasonably assist and cooperate in the transition of
such activities to Buyer. In addition, thereafter, if Buyer shall request the
assistance of Seller's employees, then Buyer shall pay to Seller a fee for such
excess services as Seller may provide based on a rate of $150.00 per hour for
each employee so utilized.

                  Section 6.7 Technology Transfer. Within thirty (30) days after
the Closing Date, to the extent not already delivered pursuant to Section 2.5
hereof, Seller shall furnish

                                       15
<PAGE>

Buyer with one (1) copy of the Included Know-How in Seller's possession or under
Seller's control, including all technical, manufacturing and Seller's other
written information, including but not limited to process sheets, raw material
and process specifications, manuals and vendors lists, which are currently used
by Seller, its Affiliates or sub-contractors to manufacture or have manufactured
Product according to the methods used by Seller or its Affiliates or
sub-contractors.

                  Section 6.8 Marketing and Promotion Efforts. Buyer shall use
its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promote, market and sell the Product in
the Territory.

                  Section 6.9 Insurance. At all times from the Closing Date for
a period of 10 years, Buyer shall maintain product liability insurance written
on an occurrence form in an amount of not less than $15,000,000 per occurrence,
and $15,000,000 annual aggregate. At the Closing, Buyer shall provide Seller
with a certificate of insurance as evidence of such insurance and annually
thereafter evidencing the renewal of such insurance. In the event that any such
insurance shall be significantly reduced or restricted, terminated or shall
otherwise not be renewed, Buyer shall immediately notify Seller, provided that
Buyer shall use its best efforts to avoid any such reduction or restriction of
terms or non-renewal or termination.

                  Section 6.10 Consents and Subcontracted Work. Buyer and Seller
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, between the date of this
Agreement and the Closing Date, all requisite consents to the assignment of all
of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, including without
limitation the Assumed Agreements. To the extent that Seller is unable to obtain
any of such consents (without the incurring of any significant additional
costs), then the Parties hereby agree to proceed with respect to the underlying
rights and obligations of such contracts for which consent has not been obtained
as shall permit Buyer to perform the obligations of Seller thereunder, as a
subcontractor or otherwise, and Buyer to obtain the benefit thereof (the
"Subcontracted Work"); and until the requisite consents are obtained, such
obligations will not be deemed to be included in the Assumed Liabilities and
nothing contained herein will be deemed to constitute a breach of the contract
underlying such rights and obligations. Buyer agrees to diligently perform and
discharge the obligations of Seller in connection with the Subcontracted Work;
and to the extent that consents to assignment are obtained after the Closing,
Buyer agrees that such obligations will no longer be considered to be
Subcontracted Work at such time, but will instead be deemed to be Assumed
Liabilities for all purposes of this Agreement.

                  Section 6.11 Retention of Records. Buyer shall preserve all
records and documents included within the Purchase Assets for a period of at
least three (3) years from the Closing Date, and thereafter, Buyer will not
dispose of or destroy any of such records and documents without giving thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Seller to permit Seller, at its expense, to
duplicate or take possession of any such records and documents.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

                  Section 8.1 Indemnification.

                  (a) Subject to Section 8.3, Seller shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons from any liability, damage,
deficiency, loss, judgments, assessments, cost or expense, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs of investigating and defending against lawsuits,
complaints, actions or other pending or threatened litigation (being hereafter
referred to in this Article 8 as "Costs"), arising from or attributable to:

                                    (i) The breach of any representation or
                  warranty made by Seller in this Agreement; and

                                    (ii) Any failure of Seller duly to perform
                  or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed or
                  observed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (b) Subject to Section 8.3, Buyer shall indemnify and hold
harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and controlling Persons from Costs arising from or
attributable to:

                                    (i) The breach in any representation or
                  warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement;

                                    (ii) Any failure of Buyer duly to perform or
                  observe any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed
                  by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

                                    (iii) The Assumed Liabilities.

                  (c) Nothing in Article 8 shall limit or otherwise affect
indemnification provided by Buyer in Section 2.8.

                  Section 8.2 Procedures.

                  (a) Promptly after the receipt by any Person entitled to
indemnity hereunder of notice of (i) any claim or (ii) the commencement of any
action or proceeding, such Person (the "Aggrieved Party") will, if a claim with
respect thereto is to be made against any Party obligated

                                       18
<PAGE>

to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 (the "Indemnifying
Party"), give such Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim or the
commencement of such action or proceeding and shall permit the Indemnifying
Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting from
such claim, and, upon such assumption, shall cooperate fully with the
Indemnifying Party in the conduct of such defense. Failure by the Indemnifying
Party to notify the Aggrieved Party of its election to defend any such action
within a reasonable time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after
notice thereof shall have been given to the Indemnifying Party, shall be deemed
a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such action. If the
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting
therefrom, the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to take all steps necessary
in the defense or settlement of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom.
The Aggrieved Party may participate, at its expense, in the defense of such
claim or litigation provided that the Indemnifying Party shall direct and
control the defense of such claim or litigation; provided, however, that the
Aggrieved Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the Indemnifying
Party's expense at the request of the Indemnifying Party or if the named parties
to any such proceeding include both the Aggrieved Party and the Indemnifying
Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The
Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom, consent to entry of any judgment, except with the written
consent of the Aggrieved Party, or enter into any settlement, except with the
written consent of the Aggrieved Party, which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
Aggrieved Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
litigation. In addition, all awards and costs payable by a third party to the
Aggrieved Party or the Indemnifying Party shall belong to the Indemnifying
Party.

                  (b) If the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense of
any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Aggrieved Party may defend
against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate and,
unless the Indemnifying Party shall deposit with the Aggrieved Party a sum
equivalent to the total amount demanded (subject to the limitation set forth in
the last sentence of Section 8.3) in such claim or litigation less the Minimum
Loss, or shall deliver to the Aggrieved Party a surety bond in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Aggrieved Party in such amount, the
Aggrieved Party may settle such claim or litigation on such terms as it may deem
appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Aggrieved
Party for the amount of all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the
Aggrieved Party in connection with the defense against or settlement of such
claim or litigation. If no settlement of such claim or litigation is made, the
Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Aggrieved Party for the amount
of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim or in such litigation and of
all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Aggrieved Party in the defense
against such claim or litigation.

                  Section 8.3 Limitations. An Aggrieved Party shall not be
entitled to recover any Costs under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) until the
aggregate amount of the Costs suffered by the Aggrieved Party thereunder shall
equal or exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (the "Minimum Loss"), at
which time the indemnification provided under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b)
shall apply to all Costs in excess of the Minimum Loss. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8.1
shall survive until the expiration of the relevant statues of limitation except
that indemnification for

                                       19
<PAGE>

breaches of representations and warranties provided in Sections 8.1(a)(i) and
8.1(b)(i) which shall survive until expiration of the survival period set forth
in Section 10.3 below. Buyer shall be entitled to (but shall not be required to)
set-off any amounts due or payable by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Seller.
In addition, neither Seller nor Buyer shall be responsible for any Aggrieved
Party's own indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages whatsoever,
including loss of profits or goodwill.

                  Section 8.4 Indemnification as Sole Remedy. The
indemnification provided in this Article 8, subject to the limitations set forth
herein, shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy for damages available to any
Aggrieved Party; provided, however, that such limitations shall not apply in the
event that, and only after, an Aggrieved Party obtains a final judgment (after
the exhaustion of all appellate remedies) in a court of competent jurisdiction
that the Indemnifying Party committed fraud.

                                   ARTICLE 9

                                   TERMINATION

                  Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at
any time prior to the Closing Date:

                  (a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

                  (b) by either Party if the Closing shall not have occurred on
or prior to December 29, 2000; provided, however, that a Party shall not have
the right to terminate under this Section 9.1(b) if such Party's (or such
Party's Affiliates) failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has
been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or
before such date of any liability of such Party to the other Party hereunder for
such failure; or

                  (c) subject to Section 6.3, by Buyer or Seller if a court of
competent jurisdiction or Governmental Authority shall have issued an order,
decree or ruling or taken any other action, in each case permanently
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become
final and nonappealable.

                  The date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any
of the foregoing subsections of this Section 9.1 is herein referred to as the
"Termination Date."

                  Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become
null and void, except that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability
for breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

any press release or other announcement with respect to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby without consulting with and obtaining the

agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and undertakings, both

matter hereof; is not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or

illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such
contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. Such
provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to render it
legal, valid and enforceable, and if no such modification shall render it legal,
valid and enforceable, then this Agreement shall be construed as if not
containing the provision held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of
the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly. The Article and Section
headings used or contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
