 26. The definition of “Documents” appearing

execution and delivery thereof, any Intercreditor Agreement and any New Senior Notes Documents” immediately preceding the period at the end of said definition. 
  
 27. The definition of “Permitted Acquisition” is hereby amended by (i) inserting the text “(x)”
immediately following the text “shall mean” appearing in said Section and (ii) inserting the text “and (y) except for purposes of Sections 8.15, 9.02(xiii), 9.05(ix), 9.12(e) and 9.14(c), Capital Expenditures, in each instance of
$1,000,000 or more, made pursuant to Section 9.12(f)” immediately preceding the period at the end of the first sentence of said definition. 
  
 28. Section 11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by inserting the following new definitions in appropriate alphabetical order: 

 
 “Additional Domestic Factoring
Agreement” shall mean an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, pursuant to which the U.S. Borrower and/or certain Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower shall sell certain
receivables to an unrelated third party. 
  
 “Additional Foreign Factoring Agreement” shall mean an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, pursuant to which certain Foreign Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower
shall sell certain receivables to an unrelated third party. 
  
 “Adjusted Secured Debt Leverage Ratio” shall mean, on any date of determination, the ratio of (i) Consolidated Debt on such date, adjusted to exclude therefrom all amounts (if any) reflected therein
constituting Indebtedness represented by New Senior Notes (even if the New Senior Notes are secured by a second priority Lien as permitted by Section 9.03(xxii)) and, without duplication, any unsecured Indebtedness, to (ii) Consolidated EBITDA for
the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to such date; provided that for all purposes of this Agreement, Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the Adjusted Secured Debt Leverage Ratio shall be determined on a Pro Forma
Basis in accordance with clause (iv) of the definition of Pro Forma Basis contained herein. For purposes of making determinations pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, Indebtedness which is secured by a Lien on
any property 

  

 8 

 
or assets shall be considered to be secured (and not unsecured) even if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness exceeds the value of the assets
or property serving as security therefor, and all Indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute secured Indebtedness. 
  
 “Intercreditor Agreement” shall have the meaning provided in Section 9.03(xxii). 
  
 “New Exchange Senior Notes” shall mean
senior notes issued by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to a registered exchange offer or private exchange offer for the New Senior Notes and pursuant to the New Senior Notes Indenture, which senior notes are substantially identical securities to the New
Senior Notes. In no event will the issuance of any New Exchange Senior Notes increase the aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes then outstanding or otherwise result in an increase in the interest rate applicable to the New Senior Notes.

  
 “New Senior Notes” shall
mean any Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower issued solely in return for cash consideration to the U.S. Borrower and evidenced by senior notes issued in the “high-yield” debt markets on or prior to July 1, 2005 so long as (a) such
Indebtedness has a final maturity no earlier than the date occurring 12 months after the Term Loan Maturity Date, (b) such Indebtedness has no mandatory repayments or required offers to purchase which are, or may be required with respect thereto
prior to the date referenced in preceding clause (a); provided that such Indebtedness may have customary required offers to purchase as a result of asset sales or changes of control in accordance with the then prevailing market conditions (in
the case of any asset sale required offers to purchase, so long as the provisions applicable thereto permit the U.S. Borrower to avoid any such required offer to purchase by first prepaying Indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement), (c) such
Indebtedness is either unsecured or is secured only by Liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.03(xxii) and (d) such Indebtedness is otherwise issued in accordance with then market conditions (as determined by the U.S. Borrower in good faith) for
issuances of “high yield” debt securities in the capital markets at such time. The issuance of New Senior Notes shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the U.S. Borrower that all conditions thereto have been satisfied in all
material respects and that same is permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, Sections
6.01 and 10. As used herein, the term “New Senior Notes” shall include any New Exchange Senior Notes issued pursuant to the New Senior Notes Indenture in exchange for theretofore outstanding New Senior Notes, as contemplated by the
definition of New Exchange Senior Notes. 
  
 “New Senior Notes Documents” shall mean the New Senior Notes Indenture, the New Senior Notes and each other agreement, document or instrument relating to the issuance of the New Senior Notes, as the same may be amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. 
  
 “New Senior Notes Indenture” shall mean any indenture or similar agreement entered into in connection with the issuance
of New Senior Notes, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. 
  
 “Second Amendment” shall mean the Second Amendment and Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2005.

  
 “Second Amendment Subsequent
Effective Date” shall have the meaning provided in the Second Amendment. 
  
 29. Schedule XVI to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting said Schedule in its entirety and replacing same with new Schedule XVI attached hereto. 
  
 30. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.09 of the
Credit Agreement, elsewhere in the Credit Agreement or in any other Credit Document, the Lenders hereby (x) agree that the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio for the period from September 30, 2004 to December 31, 2004 shall be 3.8:1.0 rather 

  

 9 

 
than the Ratio set forth in the table in Section 9.09 and (y) waive any Default or Event of Default that may exist as a result of the U.S. Borrower’s
non-compliance with said Section before giving effect to the Second Amendment Initial Effective Date (as defined below). 
  
 31. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.02(viii) of the Credit Agreement or elsewhere in the Credit Agreement or any other
Credit Document, the Lenders hereby agree that Exide B.V. shall be permitted to subscribe for one new share of the equity of GNB Technologies (China) Limited (“GNB”) and also contribute to GNB (notwithstanding the fact that GNB is
not a Qualified Non-U.S. Obligor) a share premium, by way of assignment, of a receivable owed to Exide B.V. by Deutsche Exide GmbH (“Deutsche Exide”) in an amount of approximately €7,200,000 (the “BV
Receivable”); provided that immediately upon receipt by GNB of the BV Receivable, GNB shall apply the BV Receivable to set off Indebtedness of GNB owing to Deutsche Exide in an amount equal to the amount of the BV Receivable and
Deutsche Exide shall accept such set-off in satisfaction of said amount of Indebtedness of GNB owing to Deutsche Exide. 
  
 II. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
  
 1. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Second Amendment, each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants that (i) no Default or Event
of Default exists as of each of the Second Amendment Initial Effective Date and the Second Amendment Subsequent Effective Date (as defined below), in each case after giving effect thereto and (ii) all of the representations and warranties contained
in the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of each of the Second Amendment Initial Effective Date and the Second Amendment Subsequent Effective Date, in each case after giving effect
thereto, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of each of the Second Amendment Initial Effective Date and the Second Amendment Subsequent Effective Date (it being understood that any
representation or warranty made as of a specific date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date). 
  
 2. This Second Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document. 
  
 3. This Second
Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same instrument. A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 4. THIS SECOND AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
  
 5. (a) The provisions of
Sections 29, 30 and 31 of Part I of this Second Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Second Amendment Initial Effective Date”) when each of the Borrowers, each other Credit Party and Lenders constituting the Required
Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of facsimile or other electronic transmission) the same to White & Case LLP, 1155 Avenue of the Americas, New
York, NY 10036 Attention: Aditi Chawla (facsimile number: 212-354-8113 / e-mail address: achawla@whitecase.com). 
  
 (b) The provisions of Sections 1-28, inclusive of Part I of this Second Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Second Amendment
Subsequent Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: 
  
 (i) the U.S. Borrower shall have issued New Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of at least $250,000,000; and 
  
 (ii) the Second Amendment Initial Effective Date shall have
occurred; 
  

 10 

 provided, that, if the Second Amendment Subsequent Effective Date shall not have occurred on or prior to July 1,
2005, then same shall not thereafter occur. 
  
 6. By executing
and delivering a copy hereof, each Credit Party hereby agrees that all Obligations of the Credit Parties shall remain guaranteed pursuant to the relevant Guaranties and shall remain secured pursuant to the Security Documents, in each case in
accordance with the respective terms and provisions thereof. 
  
 7. From and after each of the Second Amendment Initial Effective Date and the Second Amendment Subsequent Effective Date, all references in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed
to be references to the Credit Agreement, as modified hereby on the Second Amendment Initial Effective Date and, if and when applicable, on the Second Amendment Subsequent Effective Date.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver
this Amendment as of the date first above written.
