limitation, the unpaid fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent
(including United States and local counsel in foreign jurisdictions) shall have
been paid.

          SECTION 5. Covenant.

          (a) Except upon written consent of the Administrative Agent, in
consultation with the Steering Committee, none of Exide Italia nor any other
Standstill Party shall transfer, direct transfer, or otherwise make payments in
any manner from the proceeds of the Exide Italia Sale except to transfer the
proceeds of the Exide Italia Sale to the Escrow Account promptly upon receipt
thereof.

          (b) The Escrow Agent agrees that immediately upon receipt of the Exide
Italia Sale proceeds in the Escrow Account, it shall provide written
acknowledgment to the Administrative Agent that it has received such proceeds
(including the amount of such proceeds) and is holding them pursuant to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties. To induce the Standstill
Lenders parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, each of the Standstill
Parties hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and all of
the Standstill Lenders the following:

          (a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Standstill Party
of the Amendment and the Loan Documents to which it is a party, as amended
hereby, are within such Standstill Party's corporate powers, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not (i) contravene such
Standstill Party's Constituent Documents, (ii) violate any law (including,
without limitation, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), rule, regulation
(including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
determination or award applicable to such Standstill Party, or (iii) conflict
with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any Contractual
Obligation, including, without limitation, the bilateral loan documents, of EHE,
EHA or any of their Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, no Standstill Party
is in violation of any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award or in breach of any such contract,
loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other instrument,
the violation or breach of which is reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (b) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third
party is required to be obtained by the Standstill Parties in connection with
the execution and delivery, or performance by any Standstill Party of any of its
obligations under the Amendment and the Standstill Agreement, as amended hereby.

          (c) The Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each
Standstill Party, and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Standstill Party, enforceable against such Standstill Party in accordance with
its terms except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights or by
equitable principles generally.

                                        4

          (d) No Standstill Party has an existing claim against any Standstill
Lender arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Loan Documents.

          (e) As of the Effective Date, EHE is not in breach of, or in default
under, the DM Agreement, and no Foreign Subsidiary is in breach of, or in
default under, any other Contractual Obligation, binding on or affecting any
Foreign Subsidiary or any of their properties, where the consequence of such
default is to confer rights upon any person against such Foreign Subsidiary
which, if exercised, can be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          (f) The representations and warranties made by each of the Standstill
Parties in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the effectiveness of this
Amendment, as if made on and as of the date hereof.

          (g) Each Standstill Party hereby represents and warrants to the
Standstill Lenders and the Administrative Agent that as of the date hereof, and
after giving effect to the waiver contained herein, (a) no Standstill Event
under the Standstill Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) all
of the representations and warranties of such Standstill Party contained in
Section 12 of the Standstill Agreement and in any other Loan Document are, as of
the date of execution hereof, true and correct in all material respects, as
though made on and as of such date (other than representations and warranties in
any such Loan Document expressly limited to a specific date).

          SECTION 7. Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents.

          (a) On and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Standstill
Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof" or words of like import
referring to the Standstill Agreement and each reference in the Credit Agreement
and other Loan Documents to "the Standstill Agreement", "thereunder", "thereof"
or words of like import referring to the Standstill Agreement, shall mean and be
a reference to the Standstill Agreement as amended and otherwise modified
hereby.

          (b) The Standstill Agreement, the Credit Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents, except to the extent of the amendments, covenants and
other modifications specifically provided above, are and shall continue to be in
full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.

          (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right,
power or remedy of any Standstill Lender or any Agent under any of the Loan
Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan
Documents.

          (d) This Amendment is and shall be a Loan Document.

          SECTION 8. Affirmation of Loan Documents. Each Standstill Party, in
its capacity as a Guarantor or otherwise, hereby consents to the modification of
the Standstill Agreement, effected hereby and hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the terms of this Amendment shall not affect in any way its duties,
Obligations and liabilities under the Credit

          SECTION 9. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          SECTION 10. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Standstill Parties, the
Administrative Agent and the Standstill Lenders irrevocably waives all right to
trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on
contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Amendment or the
actions of the Administrative Agent or any Standstill Lender in the negotiation,
administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

          SECTION 11. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed
by one or more of the parties to this Amendment in any number of separate
counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page
to this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of
a manually signed counterpart of this Amendment.

          SECTION 12. Costs and Expenses. EHE hereby agrees to pay, and each of
the other Foreign Subsidiary Guarantors guarantees payment (subject to the
exceptions set forth in Schedule 10.1 of the Credit Agreement) of, all
reasonable costs and expenses associated with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration, and enforcement of this Amendment, including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent's counsel
(including local counsel in foreign jurisdictions) and financial advisor and the
