Restated Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement

Background.  On February 11, 2014, Primerica, Inc. (“Primerica”) granted to [NAME] (the “Participant”) a Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase shares (the “Options”) of Primerica’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the Primerica, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions detailed in the Plan and in the original 2014 Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”).

2. Termination of Employment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon a termination of the Participant’s employment, the Options shall be treated as follows:

(a) Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause.  If the Participant voluntarily terminates employment with Primerica for any reason (other than upon a Retirement as described in Section 3(d)), or if Primerica terminates the Participant’s employment for Cause, vesting of the Options will cease on the date the Participant’s employment is so terminated, the unvested portion of the Options (if any) will be immediately cancelled and the Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to any unvested Options.  Any portion of the Options that have previously vested (and remain unexercised) on the date such Participant’s employment terminates may be exercised by the Participant until the earlier of (i) 30 days after the date of the Participant’s employment termination and (ii) the Expiration Date specified in Section 1.  Any vested Options not exercised by such date will be cancelled and the Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to any of the Options.  

(b) Death or Involuntary Termination Other than for Cause.  If the Participant’s employment is terminated by Primerica for any reason other than Cause (other than following the Participant’s disability, as described below), or upon the Participant’s death, the unvested portion of the Options (if any) will vest as of the termination date.  In such event, the Participant’s unexercised Options may be exercised until the earlier of (i) three years after the date of the Participant’s employment termination and (ii) the Expiration Date specified in Section 1.  Any Options not exercised by such date will be cancelled and the Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to any of the Options.  

(c) Disability.  The Options will continue to vest during the first 12 months of the Participant’s approved disability leave pursuant to the Primerica disability policy applicable to the Participant (the “Disability Policy”).  If the Participant remains on an approved disability leave for more than one year pursuant to the Disability Policy, the unvested portion of the Options (if any) will vest as of the first anniversary of the commencement of such approved disability leave.  In such event, the Participant’s unexercised Options may be exercised until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the commencement of such approved disability leave and (ii) the Expiration Date specified in Section 1.  Any Options not exercised by such date will be cancelled and the Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to any of the Options.

(d) Retirement.  If the Participant voluntarily terminates employment with Primerica after having attained at least the age of 55 and with the sum of the Participant’s age (in whole years) plus the Participant’s Years of Service (as defined below) equaling 75 or more on the date of such termination (a “Retirement”), the unvested Options (if any) will vest as of the date of such Retirement.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Years of Service” shall mean the total number of years the Participant’s period of service to Primerica and any Subsidiary as of the date the Participant terminates employment.  In such event, the Participant’s unexercised Options may be exercised until the earlier of (i) three years after the date of the Participant’s employment termination and (ii) the Expiration Date specified in Section 1.  Any Options not exercised by such date will be cancelled and the Participant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to any of the Options.  

3. Stockholder Rights.  The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock with respect to the Options until the Options are vested and exercised including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends or other distributions with respect to such shares.  

4. Exercise of Options.  The vested portion of the Options may be exercised in whole or in part (but in no event with respect to a fractional share) in any of the methods of exercise and forms of payment permitted by the Committee pursuant to the terms of the Plan.  A completed exercise form, electronic or otherwise, in such form as specified by the Committee, shall be accompanied by payment in full for the Options that the Participant desires to purchase through such exercise and provision for all applicable withholding taxes.  Such exercise shall be effective on the date the properly completed exercise form and payment in full are actually received by Primerica.  

5. Delivery of Shares.  As promptly as practicable after receipt by Primerica of such exercise form and the full purchase price for the Options and provision for applicable withholding taxes, Primerica shall cause to be issued to the Participant stock certificate(s) for the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased, which shall evidence fully paid and nonassessable shares.  Primerica’s delivery of Common Stock following exercise of all of the Options shall discharge all of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

6. Nontransferable.  As provided by the terms of the Plan, no rights granted under this Agreement, nor any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with exercise of the Options during a period of restriction or transferability, if any, shall be transferable or assignable by the Participant (or by any other person), and they may not be pledged or hypotheticated in any way, except as described herein.  All rights granted under this Agreement shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant; provided that, the Participant may during his lifetime transfer rights granted hereunder, or shares of Common Stock issued hereunder during a period of restriction or transferability, if any, to a “family member” (as defined by the general instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933), in which event such rights shall be exercised by such transferee(s), subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may prescribe.  If any portion of the Options remains exercisable after the death of the Participant, the personal representative of the Participant’s estate, or recipient thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Participant’s will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, thereafter shall be treated as the Participant under this Agreement.  Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition, or exercise contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, shall be null and void and without legal effect.

7. Consent to Electronic Delivery.  In lieu of receiving documents in paper format, by receipt of the Options, the Participant consents, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to electronic delivery of any documents that Primerica may be required to deliver (including, but not limited to, stock certificates, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements and all other forms or communications) in connection with the Options.  Electronic delivery of a document to the Participant may be via a Primerica e-mail system or by reference to a location on an Internet site to which the Participant has access.

8. Tax Withholding.  The Participant shall be solely responsible for any applicable taxes (including, without limitation, income, payroll and excise taxes) and penalties, and any interest that accrues thereon, incurred in connection with the Options.  Upon exercise of the Options, Primerica shall have the right to require payment of, or may deduct or sell a number of shares sufficient to cover, withholding of any applicable federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental taxes or charges required by law and to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy any such withholding obligations. 

9. Compliance with EESA.  To the extent that the Participant and the Options are subject to Section 111 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended, and any regulations, guidance or interpretations that may from time to time be promulgated thereunder (“EESA”), then any payment of any kind provided for by, or accrued with respect to, the Options must comply with EESA, and the Agreement and the Plan will be interpreted or reformed to so comply.  If requested by Primerica, the Participant will grant to the U.S. Treasury Department (or other body of the U.S. government) and to Primerica a waiver in a form acceptable to the U.S. Treasury Department (or other body) and Primerica releasing the U.S. Treasury Department (or other body) and Primerica from any claims that the Participant may otherwise have as a result of the issuance of any regulations, guidance or interpretations that adversely modify the terms of the Options that would not otherwise comply with the executive compensation and corporate governance requirements of EESA or any securities purchase agreement or other agreement entered into between Primerica or its affiliates and the U.S. Treasury Department (or other body) pursuant to EESA.

10. Entire Agreement.  The Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between Primerica and the Participant regarding the Options and supersede all previous written, oral, or implied understandings between the parties hereto about the subject matter hereof. 

11. No Right to Employment.  Nothing contained herein, in the Plan, or in any prospectus shall confer upon the Participant any rights to continued employment or employment in any particular position, at any specific rate of compensation, or for any particular period of time. 

12. Arbitration.  Any disputes related to the Options shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Primerica’s arbitration policies.  In the absence of an effective arbitration policy, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that any dispute related to the Options shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association, if so elected by Primerica in its sole discretion. 

13. Conflict.  In the event of a conflict between the Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control. 

14. Governing Law.  The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 

15. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.  The intent of the parties is that the Options granted hereunder be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and, to the maximum extent permitted, the Agreement and the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered accordingly.

16. Successors and Assigns.  The Agreement shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Participant, including, without limitation, the estate of the Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.

17. Reimbursement or Cancellation of Certain Awards.  In the event that the Committee determines that the Options (to the extent granted based on the achievement of performance metrics) would not have been granted, vested or paid absent fraud or misconduct of the Participant, the Committee, in its discretion, shall take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate to address the fraud or misconduct.  Such actions may include, without limitation and to the extent permitted by applicable law, in appropriate cases, causing the partial or full cancellation of any Options granted to the Participant or requiring partial or full repayment of the value of the Common Stock acquired on settlement of the Options, in each case as the Committee determines to be in the best interests of Primerica.

18. Binding Effect.  This Option shall be binding upon Primerica and the Participant and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and successors.

connection with such direction; and provided further, that actions taken by a Consenting Creditor in furtherance of a bid by such Consenting Creditor to purchase assets of the Debtor as part of a sale process permitted by this
Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; 
 (ii) such Consenting Creditor shall not, except to the extent expressly

written solicitation or proposal relating to any other plan, sale, proposal, dissolution, consolidation, joint venture, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or restructuring of the Company.

of this Agreement; (B) propose, file, support, or vote for any restructuring, workout, plan of arrangement, or plan of reorganization for the Debtor other than the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions; or (C) except to the extent
expressly contemplated under the Plan and this Agreement, direct the DIP Agent to take any action contemplated in clause (A) and (B) of this Section 4.01(c)(i) or direct the DIP Agent to exercise any right or remedy for the
enforcement, collection, or recovery of any of the DIP Claims, and any other Claims against, or interests in, Exide C.V. or any of the Debtor’s direct or indirect subsidiaries inconsistent with this Agreement; provided, however,
that to the extent a Consenting Creditor as a DIP Lender directs the DIP Agent not to take an action contemplated in clause (A) and (B) of this Section 4.01(c)(i), such direction shall not be construed in any way as requiring any
Consenting Creditor as a DIP Lender to provide an indemnity to the DIP Agent, or to incur or potentially incur any other liability, in connection with such direction; 

  
 5 

 (ii) agrees to be bound by this Agreement in both its capacity as a holder of Senior Secured
Note Claims and DIP Claims;

Lien Convertible Notes pursuant to the DIP/Second Lien Conversion Option as of the Plan Effective Date, a percentage in addition to the 28.8% of such Consenting Creditors’ DIP Claims shall automatically also convert into Second Lien
Convertible Notes, and such Consenting Creditor shall be entitled to payment of fees on account thereof in the amounts set forth on Exhibit C attached to this Agreement. 

(d) This Section 4.01 will not limit any Consenting Creditor from appearing and participating as a party in interest in any matter to be
adjudicated in the Chapter 11 Case, so long as such appearance and the positions advocated in connection therewith are not inconsistent with this Agreement. 

(e) This Section 4.01 will not limit in any way any of the following Consenting Creditor rights: 

(i) upon the termination of this Agreement or the termination of the automatic stay as to property or interests in property which secure any
Debtor Claims or DIP Claims upon motion by a person or entity other than a Consenting Creditor, after notifying counsel to the Debtor in accordance with Section 11.11(a) of this Agreement, from exercising any right or remedy for

agreement) the information contemplated under this Section 4.02(b) of this Agreement. To the extent the Company receives an Alternative Transaction and the Consenting Creditors subsequently propose modifications to the terms of the
Restructuring Transactions contemplated hereby, the Company shall be permitted to fully inform counsel to any parties providing an Alternative Transaction of any material changes to the Restructuring Transactions. 

(c) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.02 of this Agreement, during the Effective Period the Company will
diligently pursue a sale of substantially all, or a portion of, its assets, properties, businesses or equity interests (such sale and the process related thereto, a “Sale”). The Company will provide periodic updates
concerning such Sale to the Consenting Creditors at times mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Required Consenting Creditors; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.02(b) of this Agreement governs the
Company’s obligations with respect to sharing information regarding an Alternative Transaction. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company, or any director, manager or officer of the Company, in such person’s capacity as a director, manager or officer of the Company, to take any action, or to refrain
from taking any action that is reasonably determined, after consulting with counsel, to be inconsistent with the Company’s or such director’s, manager’s or officer’s fiduciary obligations under applicable law. 

4.03. Commitments of the Company and the Consenting Creditors. During the Effective Period, the Company and each Consenting Creditor
agree that each Consenting Creditor shall be afforded an opportunity to become a Backstop Party for the New Money Investment (as defined in the Plan Term Sheet) to purchase up to its pro rata share of Second Lien Convertible Notes (as defined in the
Plan Term Sheet) in proportion to the principal amount of Senior Secured Notes held, as of such date of determination, by all Consenting Creditors. Prior to entering into any agreement with any third party with respect to a backstop for the New
Money Investment (as defined in the Plan Term Sheet), the Company shall offer each Consenting Creditor the opportunity to backstop the New Money Investment (as defined in the Plan Term Sheet) on the most favorable terms offered to such third party.

  
 8 

 4.04. Transfer of Interests and Securities. 

(a) During the Effective Period, each Consenting Creditor agrees for itself and on behalf of the accounts and funds within its control not to
sell, use, pledge, assign, transfer, permit the participation in, or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any ownership (including any beneficial ownership)2 in the
Debtor Claims or DIP Claims unless the intended transferee executes and delivers to counsel to the Debtor on the terms set forth in this Section 4.04 an executed transfer agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a
“Transfer Agreement”) before such Transfer is effective, it being understood that any Transfer shall not be effective as against the Debtor until notification of such Transfer in accordance with Section 11.11 of this
Agreement and a copy of the executed Transfer Agreement is received by counsel to the Debtor (a transferee that satisfies the requirements of this Section 4.04 and Exhibit B, a “Permitted Transferee,” and such
Transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”). 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the
foregoing provisions shall not preclude any Consenting Creditor from settling or delivering securities or bank debt to settle any confirmed transaction pending as of the date of such Consenting Creditor’s entry into this Agreement (subject to
compliance with applicable securities laws), it being understood that such Debtor Claims or DIP Claims so acquired shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) a Qualified
Marketmaker3 that acquires any of the Debtor Claims or DIP Claims with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Debtor Claims or DIP Claims, shall not be required to
execute and deliver to counsel a Transfer Agreement or otherwise agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement if such Qualified Marketmaker transfers such Debtor Claims or DIP Claims (by purchase, sale, assignment,
participation, or otherwise) within ten (10) business days of its acquisition (the “Transfer Period”) to a Consenting Creditor or Permitted Transferee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the requirement that such
transferee execute a Transfer Agreement) and the transfer otherwise is a Permitted Transfer. Any Transfer to a Qualified Marketmaker shall be void ab initio to the extent that such Qualified Marketmaker has not executed a written agreement to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement or delivered the Debtor Claims or DIP Claims to a Consenting Creditor or Permitted Transferee, as applicable, within the Transfer Period. 

(c) This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Consenting Creditors from acquiring additional Debtor Claims or DIP Claims;
provided, however, that (i) any Consenting Creditor that acquires additional Debtor Claims or DIP Claims after the Agreement Effective Date shall promptly notify counsel to the Company and counsel to the Unofficial
Noteholder Committee of such acquisition including the amount of such acquisition and (ii) such acquired Debtor Claims and DIP Claims shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Consenting Creditor be deemed subject to the terms
of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to the aforementioned counsel).
  

	2 	As used in this Agreement , the term “beneficial ownership” means the direct or indirect economic ownership of, and/or the power, whether by contract or otherwise, to direct the exercise
of the voting rights and the disposition of, the Debtor Claims or the right to acquire such Claims or interests. 

	3 	As used in this Agreement, the term “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (a) holds itself out to the public or the applicable private markets as standing ready in the
ordinary course of business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims of the Debtor (or enter with customers into long and short positions in claims against the Debtor), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in claims against the
Debtor and (b) is, in fact, regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt). 

  
 9 

 (d) Any Transfer made in violation of this Section 4.04 of this Agreement shall be void ab
initio. Any Consenting Creditor that effectuates a Permitted Transfer to a Permitted Transferee shall have no liability under this Agreement arising from or related to the failure of the Permitted Transferee to comply with the terms of
this Agreement. 
 4.05. Representations and Warranties of Consenting Creditors. Each Consenting Creditor, severally, and not jointly,
represents and warrants that: 
 (a) it is the beneficial owner of the face amount of the Debtor Claims and DIP Claims, or is the
nominee, investment manager, or advisor for beneficial holders of the Debtor Claims or DIP Claims, as reflected in such Consenting Creditor’s signature block to this Agreement (such Debtor Claims, the “Owned Debtor
Claims” and such DIP Claims, the “Owned DIP Claims” and together with the Owned Debtor Claims, the “Owned Claims”); 

(b) it has the full power and authority to act on behalf of, vote and consent to matters concerning the Owned Claims; 

(c) the Owned Claims are free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, Claim, equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, right
of first refusal, or other limitation on disposition, transfer, or encumbrances of any kind, that would adversely affect in any way such Consenting Creditor’s ability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement at the time such
obligations are required to be performed; 
 (d) (i) it is either (A) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule
144A of the Securities Act, (B) an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), (C) a
non-U.S. person as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”) and acquires any securities of the Debtor in transactions outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S, or (D) the
foreign equivalent of (A) or (B) above, and (ii) any securities of the Debtor acquired by the applicable Consenting Creditor in connection with the Restructuring Transactions will have been acquired for investment and not with a view
to distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act; and 
 (e) as of the date hereof, it has no actual knowledge of any event that,
due to any fiduciary or similar duty to any other person or entity, would prevent it from taking any action required of it under this Agreement. 

Section 5. Mutual Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. Each of the Parties
represents, warrants, and covenants to each other Party: 
 5.01. Enforceability. It is validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the state of its organization, and this Agreement is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable laws relating to or
limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability; provided however, that until entry of the PSA Approval Order, this Agreement shall only be binding on the Debtor to the extent permissible
in the absence of Bankruptcy Court approval. 

  
 10 

 5.02. No Consent or Approval. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the
Bankruptcy Code, no consent or approval is required by any other person or entity (subject to necessary Bankruptcy Court approval and/or regulatory approvals associated with the Restructuring Transactions) in order for it to effectuate the
Restructuring Transactions contemplated by, and perform its respective obligations under, this Agreement. 
 5.03. Power and
Authority. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement (and subject to necessary Bankruptcy Court approval and/or regulatory approvals associated with the Restructuring Transactions), it has all requisite corporate or other power and
authority to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions contemplated by, and perform its respective obligations under, this Agreement. 

5.04. Governmental Consents. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and with respect to the Company’s performance of this
Agreement, subject to necessary Bankruptcy Court approval and/or regulatory approvals associated with the Restructuring Transactions, the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement does not, and shall not, require any registration
or filing with consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state, or other governmental authority or regulatory body. 

5.05. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement does not and shall not: (a) violate any provision of
law, rules or regulations applicable to it or any of its subsidiaries in any material respect; (b) violate its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or other organizational documents or those of any of its subsidiaries; or (c) conflict
with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any contractual obligation to which it is a party, which conflict, breach, or default, would have a material adverse effect on the Restructuring
Transactions. 
 Section 6. Acknowledgement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this
Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be an offer with respect to any securities or solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a plan of reorganization for purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Any such
offer or solicitation will be made only in compliance with all applicable securities laws and provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company will not solicit acceptances of any Plan from Consenting Creditors in any manner inconsistent with the
Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law. 
 Section 7. Certain Additional Chapter 11 Matters.  

7.01. During the Effective Period, the Debtor will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide: (i) definitive draft copies of all
material motions, pleadings and other documents (including any regulatory submissions) that the Debtor intends to file with any court or regulatory body (including, the Bankruptcy Court) relating to the Chapter 11 Case, the Restructuring
Transactions or with respect to any of the Debtor’s regulated facilities, to counsel to the Unofficial Noteholder Committee at least two (2) business days before the date on which the Debtor intends to file any such document; and
(ii) definitive draft copies of all Plan Transaction Documents to counsel to the Unofficial Noteholder Committee at least three (3) business days before the date on which the Debtor intends to file such documents. 

  
 11 

 7.02. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith and shall coordinate their
activities (to the extent possible and permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Agreement) in respect of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

Section 8. Termination Events.  

8.01. Consenting Creditors’ Termination Events. This Agreement may be terminated as between the Consenting Creditors and the
Debtor, by the delivery to the Debtor, of a written notice in accordance with Section 11.11 of this Agreement by the Required Consenting Creditors, in the exercise of their discretion, upon the occurrence and continuation of any of the
following events: 
 (a) upon the occurrence and continuation of an “Event of Default” under the DIP Credit Agreement, subject to
any cure periods provided thereunder or waiver of such an Event of Default by the DIP Agent or Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement); 

(b) if the Backstop Commitment Agreement is not executed by December 10, 2014;

(h) the Plan or Disclosure Statement is amended or modified in any manner that is materially adverse to the Consenting Creditors and is not
otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Required Consenting Creditors; 

  
 12

terms, or the conditions precedent set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement, once entered into, become incapable of being or are not satisfied or have not otherwise been waived; 

(j) any of the PSA Approval Order, the BCA Approval Order, the Disclosure Statement Order, the Rights Offering Procedures Order, or the
Confirmation Order is not entered, is entered in form and substance that is not reasonably satisfactory to the Required Consenting Creditors, or does not become, or ceases to be, effective; 

(k) any of the PSA Approval Order, the BCA Approval Order, the Disclosure Statement Order, the Rights Offering Procedures Order, the
Confirmation Order or the Final DIP Order is reversed, stayed, dismissed, vacated, reconsidered or is materially modified or materially amended after entry in a manner that is not reasonably satisfactory to the Required Consenting Creditors; 

(l) the breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants as set forth in this Agreement that would materially and
adversely affect the Restructuring Transactions or the recovery of any Consenting Creditor as contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions; provided, however, that to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(l),
the Required Consenting Creditors shall transmit a notice to the Company detailing any such breach, and if such breach is capable of being cured, the Company shall have seven (7) days after receiving such notice to cure such breach;

Required Consenting Creditors in their sole discretion, it being understood that among other things, (i) any adverse ruling affecting the collateral (as set forth in the Senior Secured Indenture and related documents) securing the Senior

reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Restructuring Transactions or that has a material adverse impact on the recovery of any Consenting Creditor as determined by the Required Consenting Creditors in their sole discretion,
shall each constitute a Termination Event under this subsection 8.01(n); provided, however, that the Company shall have ten (10) days after issuance of such injunction, judgment, decree, charge, ruling or order to obtain relief
that would allow consummation of the Restructuring Transactions that (i) does not prevent or diminish in a material way compliance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) is otherwise satisfactory to the Required Consenting Creditors;

  
 13 

 (o) any of the Plan Transaction Documents shall have been modified in any material respect or
withdrawn, without the prior written consent of the Required Consenting Creditors such that any of such Plan Transaction Documents is not in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Consenting Creditors;

Transactions; or (d) if the Debtor reasonably determines, after consultation with counsel, that the failure to terminate this Agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law as referenced in Section 4.02(d)
hereof. 
 8.03. Mutual Termination. This Agreement and the obligations of all Parties hereunder, may be terminated by mutual
agreement among all of the following: (a) Required Consenting Creditors and (b) the Debtor.

terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement without affecting the other Parties’ rights and obligations by providing notice of the same in accordance with Section 11.11 of this Agreement if, and only if: 

(a) the Plan (as filed with the Bankruptcy Court) or any backstop commitment agreement (including the Backstop Commitment Agreement) entered
into by the Required Consenting Creditors alters the treatment of Senior Secured Note Claims or DIP Claims set forth in the Plan Term Sheet in a manner materially adverse to Consenting Creditors, it being understood that any Economic Change (as
defined below) shall be deemed materially adverse to Consenting Creditors; 

  
 14 

 (b) the Backstop Commitment Agreement is not executed by December 10, 2014; 

(c) the Plan Effective Date does not occur by the Plan Outside Date; 

(d) upon the Required Consenting Creditors agreeing to support, in writing, an amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement or the
Plan Term Sheet that constitutes an Economic Change (as defined below) to which a Consenting Creditor does not consent; 
 (e) either
(i) the Company pursues a Sale that is not acceptable to a Consenting Creditor, or (ii) the Company fails to pursue a Sale that is acceptable to the Consenting Creditor; 

(f) the Company (y) pursues any Alternative Transaction, including any plan of reorganization (other than the Plan), or (z) files,
propounds, or otherwise publicly supports or announces that the Debtor or any of its subsidiaries will support any Sale not acceptable to a Consenting Creditor, an Alternative Transaction (including any plan of reorganization other than the Plan),
or files any motion or application seeking authority to sell any material assets, without the prior written consent of each Consenting Creditor; or 

(g) upon the execution of a purchase agreement for some or all of the assets of the Debtor pursuant to a credit bid that has the consent of the
Required Term Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) regardless of such Consenting Creditor’s consent thereto. 
 As used in this Agreement,
the term “Economic Change” means any amendment, modification, supplement, change or agreement that affects the economic terms of, or participation rights under, this Agreement, the Plan Term Sheet, or the Plan
Transaction Documents, including the priority, fees, interest rates, maturity, equity splits, participation rights in, or other terms of the First Lien High Yield Notes (as defined in the Plan Term Sheet) and the Second Lien Convertible Notes (as
defined in the Plan Term Sheet). 
 8.06. Effect of Termination. Other than as set forth in Section 8.02(d) of this
Agreement, no Party may terminate this Agreement if such Party failed to perform or comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with such failure to perform or comply causing, or resulting in, the occurrence of
one or more termination events specified in this Agreement. The date on which termination of this Agreement as to a Party is effective in accordance with Sections 8.01-8.05 of this Agreement shall be referred to as a “Termination
Date”. Except as set forth below, upon the occurrence of a Termination Date as to a Party, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and each Party subject to such termination shall be released from its commitments,
undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement and shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the
Restructuring Transactions or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not 

  
 15 

 
entered into this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any Party from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior
to the date of such termination; provided, further, that Section 8.07 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date, any and all consents or ballots tendered by
the Parties subject to such termination before a Termination Date shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the
Restructuring Transactions and this Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the Debtor or any of the Consenting Creditors from contesting whether any such
termination is in accordance with its terms or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement that arose or existed before such Termination Date, nor to seek enforcement of any rights under the Backstop Commitment Agreement or the other Exit
Financing Agreements. 
 8.07. No Violation of Automatic Stay. The automatic stay applicable under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code
shall not prohibit a Consenting Creditor from taking any action necessary to effectuate the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. 

Section 9. Amendments. This Agreement and the Plan Term Sheet may not be modified, amended, or supplemented in any manner except in
writing signed by all of the following: (a) the Required Consenting Creditors and (b) the Debtor; provided, however, that (x) any Economic Change or (y) any modification, amendment or supplement to Section 8.05
or this Section 9 of this Agreement, shall require the consent of each Consenting Creditor. 
 Section 10. Waiver. The
terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than (a) those set forth in Section 8.05 and Section 9 of this Agreement and (b) an Economic Change, each of which may only be waived in accordance with Section 9 of this
Agreement) may be waived (x) by the Debtor only by a written instrument executed by the Debtor and (y) by the Required Consenting Creditors only by a written instrument executed by all of the Required Consenting Creditors. No delay on the
part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement.  

Section 11. Miscellaneous. 

11.01. Further Assurances. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith all

of the Bankruptcy Court, from time to time, to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions, as applicable. 
 11.02. Time is of the
Essence. The time for performance of this Agreement shall be of the essence to this Agreement. 

  
 16 

 11.03. No Admission. This Agreement is a settlement only and shall not be construed or
deemed to be an admission by any Party to this Agreement as to the underlying economics of the Restructuring Transactions or any part thereof, including with respect to any return on investment contemplated therein or the valuation of any assets,
the Debtor or the Company. 
 11.04. Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, among the Parties with respect thereto.

AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. Each Party hereto agrees that it shall bring
any action or proceeding in respect of any Claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, to the extent possible, in the Bankruptcy Court (or court of proper appellate jurisdiction) (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”) and
solely in connection with Claims arising under this Agreement: (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts; (b) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts; and

signature and delivery, each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each individual executing
this Agreement on behalf of a Party has been duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of said Party. 

11.09. Interpretation and Rules of Construction. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Company and the Consenting
Creditors, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this
Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof. The Company and the Consenting Creditors were each represented by counsel during the negotiations and drafting of this Agreement and continue to be
represented by counsel. In addition, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code.

transferred to any other person or entity, provided however, that a Consenting Creditor may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in accordance with and to the extent permitted in Section 4.04 of this
Agreement.

November 4, 2014 
 This term
sheet (the “Term Sheet”) describes certain of the principal terms of a proposed restructuring (the “Restructuring”) for Exide Technologies (the “Debtor” and as reorganized post-emergence,
“Reorganized Exide,” and together with its non-debtor subsidiaries, the “Company”) to be implemented pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) consistent in all material respects with this
Term Sheet to be filed in the Debtor’s chapter 11 case (the “Chapter 11 Case”) pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Capitalized terms used and not
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan Support Agreement (the “PSA”).  
  

			
	IMPLEMENTATION OF RESTRUCTURING	  	 The Restructuring set forth in this Term Sheet shall be effectuated through (i) the execution of the PSA by the Debtor and certain holders of
Claims1 (such Claims, the “Senior Secured Note Claims”) against Exide for 8 5/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 issued under that certain indenture dated as of January 25,
2011 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Secured Indenture” and the indenture trustee appointed thereunder, the “Indenture Trustee”) that are referred to in the PSA as the
“Consenting Creditors,” and (ii) the solicitation and confirmation of the Plan, which shall be in all material respects consistent with this Term Sheet and the PSA.
  

The parties to the PSA and their respective advisors shall negotiate in good faith and use all deliberate speed to negotiate the definitive documentation to
implement the Restructuring consistent with the terms described in this Term Sheet and any related documentation, including without limitation, the PSA, the Plan and the disclosure statement describing the Plan (the “Disclosure
Statement”), the backstop commitment agreement (the “Backstop Commitment Agreement” and the parties thereto other than the Debtor, the “Backstop Commitment Parties”)

Debtor and the Required Consenting Creditors (the “Exit ABL Revolver”).
  

The Exit ABL Revolver shall be secured by a first lien on accounts, inventory and receivables (the “Exit ABL Revolver Collateral”) and a third
lien on the First Lien High Yield Notes Collateral (defined below).

		
	First Lien High Yield Notes	  	 Reorganized Exide shall issue $264.1 million in First Lien High Yield Notes comprising $259.1 million issued pursuant to the DIP Term

Money Investment will include oversubscription rights.
  
 The Backstop Commitment Parties
and the Company shall continue to evaluate the feasibility of Exide Global Holding Netherlands C.V. issuing the Second Lien Convertible Notes or a convertible equity instrument (the “C.V. Equity Security”) containing economic terms
that are substantially consistent with those of the Second Lien Convertible Notes, and otherwise as set forth in this Term Sheet, to be agreed upon by the Required Consenting Creditors. Upon the agreement of the Company, each of the Backstop

	European Debt	  	The Company shall maintain in good standing and on substantially the same terms as currently exist, its $23.1 million of foreign credit facilities and other debt at its European subsidiaries (the “Existing European
Facilities”).
		
	New Common Stock	  	 Effective as of the Plan Effective Date, Reorganized Exide shall authorize and issue shares of common stock (the “New Common
Stock”) such that after conversion of all of the Second Lien Convertible Notes and on a fully diluted basis, the New Common Stock is allocated (the “New Common Stock Allocation”) as follows:

 
 15.0% to holders of Senior Secured Note Claims;

 
 3.0% in payment of the DIP/Second Lien Conversion Funding Fee (defined below);

 
 2.0% in payment of the DIP/Second Lien Backstop Commitment Fee (defined below); and

 
 80.0% to holders of Second Lien Convertible Notes upon conversion of all of the Second
Lien Convertible Notes.
  
 The New Common Stock Allocation is subject to further dilution
by paid-in-kind interest and any Management Incentive Plan (defined below).

		
	Rights Offering and Backstop	  	 Exide shall effectuate an offering in conjunction with and pursuant to the Plan and backstopped in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement containing terms and conditions customary for similar transactions and which are reasonably satisfactory to the Required Consenting Creditors (the “Rights Offering”) to existing holders
of Senior Secured Notes [and members of the Unsecured Creditors Committee (as defined below)] that are accredited investors (“Accredited Investors”) or qualified institutional buyers (“QIBs”), as such terms are
defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of rights to purchase up to $175.0 million of the Second Lien Convertible Notes.

 

			
		  	 Each such eligible holder of Senior Secured Notes shall be offered the right (the “Right”) to participate in the New Money
Investment pro rata in proportion to the principal amount of Senior Secured Notes held by such holder on the record date (the aggregate amount offered to such holder, its “Pro Rata Participation Amount”).

 
 Existing holders of Senior Secured Notes that are not Accredited Investors or QIBs shall
not be permitted to participate in the Rights Offering, but instead shall receive comparable consideration of a kind and with a value reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Required Consenting Creditors.

		
		  	The Backstop Commitment Parties will, severally and not jointly, backstop the Rights Offering and shall receive incremental consideration of 5.0% to be paid-in-kind with additional Second Lien Convertible Notes or structured as
original issue discount.
		
	Use of Proceeds	  	Reorganized Exide shall use the proceeds of the Exit ABL Revolver and the Rights Offering among other things to (a) pay in full in cash the DIP ABL Revolver, (b) pay administrative expenses and make other payments as are
required to confirm the Plan and cause the Plan Effective Date to occur, and (c) use the remaining net proceeds to fund Reorganized Exide’s business plan and working capital requirements at the Plan Effective Date.
		
	TREATMENT OF CLAIMS UNDER THE DIP CREDIT AGREEMENT	  	
		
	DIP ABL Revolver Claims	  	Claims under the DIP Credit Agreement revolving credit facility (the “DIP ABL Revolver Claims”) shall be Allowed in the aggregate amount of principal outstanding plus accrued interest to the Plan Effective Date plus
applicable fees. Each Allowed DIP ABL Revolver Claim shall be paid in full in cash on the Plan Effective Date.
		
	DIP Term Loan Claims	  	The DIP Term Loan Claims shall be Allowed in the aggregate amount of principal outstanding plus accrued interest to the Plan Effective Date plus applicable fees. If agreed, holders of DIP Term Loan Claims shall receive the right to
participate in the DIP Term Loan Exchange and the DIP/Second Lien Conversion Option.

			
		  	Holders of DIP Term Loan Claims shall also receive cash from the DIP Term Loan Refinancing Investment Option described below. Cash received from this option will retire DIP Term Loan Claims at par, pro rata, and the treatment
applicable to such retired DIP Term Loan Claims under the Plan shall be transferred to the investors participating in the DIP Term Loan Refinancing Investment Option. For the avoidance of doubt, proceeds from the DIP Term Loan Refinancing Investment
Option shall be allocated pro rata to all DIP Term Loan Claims and such claims shall be transferred to such investors by all holders of DIP Term Loan Claims on a pro rata basis.
		
	DIP/Second Lien Conversion Option	  	 On the Plan Effective Date, all holders of DIP Term Loan Claims may elect to exchange up to $100 million of DIP Term Loan Claims into
either:
  
 (a) the First Lien High Yield Notes issued at a discount such that exchanging
holders of DIP Term Loan Claims shall receive First Lien High Yield Notes with original issue discount of 5% for DIP Term Loan Claims so exchanged, or

 
 (b) (i) Second Lien Convertible Notes exchanged dollar for dollar, at par, for DIP Term
Loan Claims so exchanged and (ii) as a funding fee, distributed to participating holders of DIP Term Loan Claims: (x) First Lien High Yield Notes in the aggregate amount of 5.0% of the DIP Term Loan Claims so exchanged ($5.0
million) and (y) 3.0% of fully-diluted New Common Stock (together, the “DIP/Second Lien Conversion Funding Fee”), which DIP/Second Lien Conversion Funding Fee shall be payable to the participating holders of DIP Term Loan Claims
based on their pro rata participation.
  
 Consenting Creditors shall backstop $100
million of the DIP/Second Lien Conversion Option through their existing holdings of DIP Term Loan Claims as follows:
  

(1) each Consenting Creditor will (x) exchange 28.8% of its DIP Term Loans into Second Lien Convertible Notes pursuant to the DIP/Second
Lien Conversion Option and (y) the balance of its DIP Term Loans into First Lien High Yield Notes in accordance with this Term Sheet; and
  

(2) in the event that less than $100 million in DIP Term Loan Claims convert into Second Lien Convertible Notes pursuant to the
DIP/Second Lien Conversion Option as of the Plan Effective Date (the amount less than $100 million, the “DIP Shortfall”), a percentage in addition to the 28.8% of such Consenting Creditors’ DIP Term Loans shall
automatically also convert into Second Lien Convertible Notes (such additional percentage, the “DIP Backstop Percentage”), and be entitled to payment of fees on account thereof, in the amounts and percentages set forth on Exhibit C
attached to the PSA. The DIP Shortfall will be allocated to such Consenting Creditor on a pro rata basis based upon its DIP Backstop Percentage set forth on Exhibit C to the
PSA.

			
		  	 By way of illustration only, in the event that the DIP Shortfall totals $10 million and a Consenting Creditor
agrees to a DIP Backstop Percentage of 25%, then an additional $2.5 million of DIP Term Loans held by such Consenting Creditor shall automatically convert into Second Lien Convertible Notes as of the Plan Effective Date.

 
 Consenting Creditors that agree to the backstop by December 10, 2014, shall
receive 2.0% of the fully-diluted New Common Stock which shall be allocated to such Members according to their DIP Backstop Percentage. This amount is in addition to any DIP/Second Lien Conversion Funding Fee to which such Members may also be
entitled.

		
	TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS	  	Claims against and interests in the Debtor shall be classified under the Plan and subject to the treatment set forth below.
		
	Administrative Expense Claims	  	Except with respect to administrative expense claims that are professional fee claims and except to the extent that a holder of an allowed administrative expense claim and the Debtor agree to less favorable treatment to such holder,
each holder of an allowed administrative expense claim shall be paid in full in cash on the later of the initial distribution date under the Plan and the date such administrative expense claim is allowed, and the date such allowed administrative
claim becomes due and payable, or as soon thereafter as is practicable; provided, however, that allowed administrative expense claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s business shall be paid in full in the ordinary
course of business in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of any agreements governing, instruments evidencing, or other documents relating to, such transactions.
		
	Professional Claims	  	 Final Fee Applications. All final requests for payment of professional claims and requests for reimbursement of expenses of members of
the Unsecured Creditors Committee (as defined below) must be filed no later than sixty (60) days after the Plan Effective Date. After notice and a hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code and prior orders of the
Bankruptcy Court, the allowed amounts of such professional claims and expenses shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court.
  

Payment of Interim Amounts. On the Plan Effective Date, the Debtor or Reorganized Exide shall pay all amounts owing to professionals for all outstanding
amounts billed relating to prior periods through the Plan Effective Date, other than any holdback amounts held in escrow in accordance with prior orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In order to receive payment on the Plan Effective Date for unbilled
fees and expenses incurred through the Plan Effective Date, no later than two (2) days prior to the Plan

			
		  	 Effective Date, the professionals shall estimate fees and expenses due for periods that have not been billed as of the Plan Effective Date
and shall deliver such estimate to counsel for the Debtor. Within fifteen (15) days after the Plan Effective Date, a professional receiving payment for the estimated period shall submit a detailed invoice covering such period.

 
 Holdback Escrow Account. On the Plan Effective Date, the Debtor or Reorganized
Exide shall fund a holdback escrow account with cash equal to the aggregate holdback amount for all professionals, and such amounts shall be maintained in trust for the professionals with respect to whom fees have been held back pursuant to the
prior orders of the Bankruptcy Court, to be paid upon final allowance by the Bankruptcy Court. Such funds shall not be considered property of the Debtor, Reorganized Exide, or the estate.

		
	Priority Tax Claims	  	Except to the extent that a holder of an allowed priority tax claim and the Debtor agree to less favorable treatment to such holder, each holder of an allowed priority tax claim shall receive one of the following treatments on
account of such Claim: (a) cash in an amount equal to the amount of such allowed priority tax claim, (b) cash in an amount agreed to by the Debtor (or Reorganized Exide) and such holder, provided, however, that such parties may further
agree for the payment of such allowed priority tax claim to occur at a later date, or (c) at the sole option of the Debtor, cash in the aggregate amount of such allowed priority tax claim payable in installment payments over a period of not more
than five (5) years after the Petition Date pursuant to section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code.
		
	Other Priority Claims	  	The allowed other priority claims of the Debtor shall be unimpaired. Except to the extent that a holder of an allowed other priority claim and the Debtor agree to less favorable treatment to such holder, each holder of an allowed
other priority claim shall be paid in full in cash on the later of the initial distribution date under the Plan, the date such other priority claim is allowed and the date such allowed other priority claim becomes due and payable, or as soon
thereafter as is practicable; provided, however, that other priority claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s business and which are not due and payable on or before the Plan Effective Date shall be paid in the
ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms thereof.
		
	Treatment of Senior Secured Note Claims	  	 The holders of Senior Secured Note Claims are impaired under the Plan and holders of Senior Secured Note Claims may vote to accept or reject
the Plan.
  
 The Senior Secured Note Claims shall be allowed in the aggregate amount of
principal and accrued interest owing on the Senior Secured Notes as of the Petition Date. In the event of a Sale (defined below) (a) the Senior Secured Note Claims shall be Allowed as secured Claims in the amount of the value of the Collateral
(as defined in the Senior Secured Indenture) (the

			
		  	 “Senior Secured Noteholder Secured Claim”) as determined at the Auction (defined below) and (b) the Senior Secured Note
Claims shall be allowed as unsecured deficiency Claims (the “Deficiency Claim”) in the amount of the remaining balance of the obligations outstanding as of the Petition Date under the Senior Secured Notes.

 
 If the class of Senior Secured Note Claims votes in favor of the Plan, upon the Plan
Effective Date, the holders of Senior Secured Notes that are QIBs or Accredited Investors shall receive, in full and final satisfaction of the Senior Secured Note Claims:
  

(i) 15.0% of the fully diluted New Common Stock;
  

(ii) the right to participate in the New Money Investment described below; and
  

(iii) the right to participate in the DIP Term Loan Refinancing Investment Option described below.

 
 New Money Investment. If the class of Senior Secured Note Claims votes in favor of
the Plan, then the holders of Senior Secured Note Claims shall be entitled to participate, on a pro rata basis, in the New Money Investment. Certain parties, to be determined, will backstop the New Money Investment in exchange for a 5.0% backstop
fee paid-in-kind with additional Second Lien Convertible Notes.
  
 DIP Term Loan
Refinancing Investment Option. If the class of Senior Secured Note Claims votes in favor of the Plan, then the holders of Senior Secured Note Claims that are QIBs or Accredited Investors shall be entitled to invest up to an additional
$346.8 million on a pro rata basis, the proceeds of which shall be used to purchase DIP Term Loan Claims at par. Each investor’s participation in the DIP Term Loan Refinancing Investment Option shall be capped at its pro rata share
of Senior Secured Note Claims. By purchasing the DIP Term Loan Claims, investors shall be entitled to the treatment applicable to DIP Term Loan Claims under the Plan.
  

Existing holders of Senior Secured Notes that are not Accredited Investors or QIBs shall not be permitted to participate in the New Money Investment or DIP
Term Loan Refinancing Investment Option, but instead shall receive comparable consideration of a kind and with a value reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Required Consenting Creditors. In the event distributions of New Common Stock to
existing holders of Senior Secured Notes that are not Accredited Investors or QIBs would require Reorganized Exide to be a public reporting company, such existing holders shall receive comparable consideration of a kind and with a value reasonably
acceptable to the Company and the Required Consenting Creditors in lieu of a distribution of New Common Stock.

			
	Dual Track / Sale Alternative	  	 While pursuing confirmation of the Plan, the Debtor will market the Company and solicit bids for the Company or some or all of the
Company’s assets (a “Sale”). If the Debtor determines during this sale process that, after consultation with the Required Consenting Creditors, a sale of some or all of the Company or some or all of its assets will generate
more value to stakeholders than provided under the Plan, then the Company shall, after consultation with the Consenting Creditors, pursue such a sale either through a Plan pursuant to the PSA and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, or as a sale
pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.
  
 In the event of a Sale or any other
disposition of some or all of the Company or some or all of its assets, then holders of DIP Claims and Senior Secured Note Claims shall be entitled to credit bid the full amount of their Claims in accordance with sections 6.4 and 15.11 of the DIP
Credit Agreement, the Final DIP Order, and the Bankruptcy Code.

		
	Other Secured Claims	  	 The allowed other secured Claims are unimpaired and holders of allowed other secured Claims may not vote to accept or reject the Plan.

 
 Except to the extent that a holder of an allowed other secured claim and the Debtor agree
to less favorable treatment to such holder, at the sole option of the Debtor, (a) each allowed other secured claim shall be reinstated and rendered unimpaired in accordance with section 1124(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, notwithstanding any
contractual provision or applicable non-bankruptcy law that entitles the holder of an allowed other secured Claim to demand or to receive payment of such allowed other secured Claim prior to the stated maturity of such allowed other secured Claim
from and after the occurrence of a default, (b) each holder of an allowed other secured Claim shall be paid in full in cash on the later of the initial distribution date under the Plan and the date such other secured Claim becomes an allowed
other secured Claim, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, or (c) each holder of an allowed other secured Claim shall receive the collateral securing its allowed other secured Claim on the later of the initial distribution date under the
Plan and the date such other secured Claim becomes an allowed other secured Claim, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

contributed to capital or exchanged for equity of a subsidiary of the Debtor.

			
		
	Section 510(b) Claims	  	Section 510(b) Claims shall be impaired and the holders thereof shall be deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 510(b) Claims shall be cancelled, released and extinguished and
the holders of Section 510(b) Claims shall receive no distribution under the Plan on account of such Claims.
		
	Treatment of Interests in Non-Debtors	  	Interests in non-Debtor Exide affiliates shall be unimpaired and shall vest in Reorganized Exide (and its existing or newly formed subsidiaries) upon the Plan Effective Date.
		
	Interests in Exide	  	Interests in Exide, whether represented by stock, preferred share purchase rights or otherwise, shall be Impaired and the holders thereof shall be deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Such Interests shall be cancelled, released and extinguished and the holders of such Interests shall receive no distribution under the Plan on account thereof.
		
	OTHER PLAN PROVISIONS	  	The Plan shall contain terms customary and usual for a chapter 11 plan in Delaware each of which shall be satisfactory to the Required Consenting Creditors, including as set forth below.
		
	Key Contracts and Agreements	  	To the extent necessary in connection with the Plan, the Debtor shall seek to assume, pursuant to, inter alia, section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, those agreements and contracts that may be mutually agreed upon by the Debtor
and the Consenting Creditors.
		
	Management Incentive Plan	  	 The Confirmation Order shall provide that on the Plan Effective Date, Reorganized Exide will implement a new management equity incentive plan
(the “Management Incentive Plan”) which shall provide for grants of options and/or restricted units/equity reserved for management, directors and employees in an amount not to exceed [TBD %] of the New Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis, sufficient to properly incentivize the senior management team of Reorganized Exide. The Management Incentive Plan shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Consenting Creditors. The primary participants of the Management
Incentive Plan, including the amount, form, exercise price, allocation and vesting of such equity-based awards with respect to such primary participants, shall be decided upon by the new board of Reorganized Exide.

 
 The Management Incentive Plan, Key Employee Incentive Plan (approved by the Bankruptcy
Court on September 17, 2013), and such annual incentive plans as may be adopted by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business (including the annual incentive

			
		  	plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 15, 2013) shall be deemed adopted, approved, and authorized as of the Plan Effective Date without further action of the reorganized Debtor or its board, and the reorganized Debtor
shall assume any obligations that remain outstanding as of the Plan Effective Date under any such plans.
