DEBTOR IN POSSESSION LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS DEBTOR IN POSSESSION LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of January 27, 2012, is entered into by and among ENER1, INC., a Florida corporation, a debtor and debtor-in-possession pursuant to Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Borrower”), Bzinfin S.A. (“Bzinfin”) and together with any other Person that may become a lender hereunder after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof, each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and Bzinfin, as agent (“Agent”) for the Lenders.

WHEREAS, on November 16, 2011 the Borrower, Bzinfin, Liberty Harbor Special Investments, LLC (“LHSI”) and Goldman Sachs Palmetto State Credit Fund, L.P. (“GSPSCF”, together with LHSA, the “GS Funds” and, collectively with Bzinfin, the “Pre-Petition Lenders”)) , and the Agent entered into a certain Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Pre-Petition Lenders made available to Borrower a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $4,500,000 (as amended from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Pre-Petition Credit Agreement”) and the Borrower is indebted to the Pre-Petition Lenders for, certain prepetition loans, advances and other amounts thereunder (including, without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest (including default interest), fees and expenses, collectively, the “Pre-Petition Obligations”);

WHEREAS, on January 26, 2012 (the “Petition Date”), the Borrower commenced a case under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Case”), and the Borrower has retained possession of its assets and is authorized under the Bankruptcy Code to continue the operation of its business as a debtor-in-possession;

WHEREAS, the Borrower is unable to obtain funds or credit on more favorable terms than the terms provided hereunder;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has asked the Lenders to make post-petition loans and advances to the Borrower consisting of a debtor-in-possession credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000,000 at any time outstanding;

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to provide such financing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including that all of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents constitute allowed superpriority administrative expense claims pursuant to Sections 364(c) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Chapter 11 Case and are secured by a priming first priority lien on substantially all of Borrower’s assets and property, in each case as set forth herein and in the Financing Orders.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, Borrower, Lenders and Agent hereby agree as follows:

I. DEFINITIONS

1.1 General Terms

For purposes of the Loan Documents, in addition to the definitions above and elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the terms listed in Exhibit A hereto shall have the meanings given such terms in Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein and made a part hereof. Unless otherwise specified herein or in Exhibit A, this Agreement and any agreement or contract referred to herein or in Exhibit A shall mean such agreement as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time.

II. LOAN, INTEREST AND PAYMENTS

2.1 The Loan; the Notes

The Lenders agree, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Orders, to make advances (“Revolving Advances”) to the Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date to and until (but not including) the Termination Date in an amount not in excess of the Maximum Amount (the “Loan”). The Lenders shall have no obligation to make a Revolving Advance to the extent that the amount of the requested Revolving Advance plus the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving Advances exceed the Maximum Amount. The Borrower’s obligation to pay the Revolving Advances may be evidenced by the Notes and shall be secured by the Collateral. Within the limits set forth in this Section 2.1, the Borrower may borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.7, and reborrow.

Each Lender’s obligation to fund each Revolving Advance shall be limited to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, and no Lender shall have any obligation to fund any portion of any Revolving Advance required to be funded by any other Lender, but not so funded. If requested by a Lender, its portion of the Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), issued by the Borrower to the order of such Lender in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment.

2.2 Procedures for Requesting Revolving Advances.

The Borrower shall comply with the following procedures in requesting Revolving Advances:

(a) The Borrower shall request each Revolving Advance so that it is received by the Agent not later than 1:00 PM (NY Time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Business Day on which the Revolving Advance is to be made. Each request that conforms to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective upon receipt by the Agent, shall be in writing or by telephone or telecopy transmission, and shall be confirmed in writing by the Borrower if so requested by the Agent, by (i) an officer of the Borrower; or (ii) a Person designated as the Borrower’s agent by an officer of the Borrower in a writing delivered to the Agent; or (iii) a Person whom the Agent reasonably believes to be an officer of the Borrower or such a designated agent.

(b) Alex Sorokin or another officer reasonably acceptable to the Agent shall confirm in writing, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, that each request for a Revolving Advance is accurate, necessary and correct in conformance with the Budget. The Borrower shall repay all Revolving Advances even if the Lender does not receive such confirmation and even if the Person requesting a Revolving Advance was not in fact authorized to do so.

(c) Any request for a Revolving Advance, whether written or telephonic, shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied as of the time of the request.

(d) Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Lenders shall promptly disburse the proceeds of the requested Revolving Advance in accordance with the Borrower’s instructions.

2.3 Interest

The unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. Interest shall be payable in arrears, in cash, on the each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts outstanding on account of the Loan shall bear interest at the rate equal to the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”), and such interest shall be payable on demand.

2.4 Promise to Pay; Payments

Borrower, absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay, when due and payable pursuant hereto, principal, interest and all other amounts and Obligations payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without any right of rescission and without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, or any other event. Any payments made by Borrower shall be made only by wire transfer, without offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind, in Dollars, in immediately available funds to such account as may be indicated in writing by Agent or each Lender to Borrower from time to time. Any such payment received after 2:00 p.m. New York City time on any date shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due or shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to, and such payment shall be made on, the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the computation of payment of any interest (at the interest rate then in effect during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be. The unpaid principal amount of the Loan and all other Obligations (including, without limitation, all accrued and unpaid interest) shall be due and payable in full, and the Notes shall mature, on the Repayment Date, provided, however, upon the Effective Date of the Plan (i) Borrower shall have the right to repay the principal amount of the Obligations by issuing and distributing to the Lenders preferred shares of the reorganized Borrower and (ii) immediately prior thereto, to the extent that the GS Funds hold any Loans the principal amount of such Loans and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be assigned to, and purchased in cash at par by, Bzinfin pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (and Bzinfin and each applicable GS Funds agrees to execute and deliver to Agent such Assignment and Assumption Agreement). Such preferred shares shall have such dividend, voting, redemption and conversion rights, liquidation preferences and other special rights pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit G to the Plan Support Agreement.

2.5 Taxes and Other Charges

All payments by Borrower relative to the Loan and under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of any restrictions or conditions, without set off or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding whether for or on account of tax or otherwise (excluding liens, garnishments, or like against any Lender). If any such deduction or withholding is required by law to be made by Borrower or any other Person (whether or not a party to, or on behalf of a party to this Agreement) from any sum paid or payable by, or received or receivable from, Borrower shall pay in the same manner and at the same time such additional amounts as will result in each Lender’s receiving and retaining (free from any liability other than tax on its overall net income) such net amount as would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

2.6 Use of Proceeds

Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan hereunder as follows: (i) to pay costs, expenses, and all other payment amounts incurred in connection with the Loan and the negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents; (ii) to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the Pre-Petition Obligations between the Debtor and Pre-Petition Lenders (including any adequate protection payments required in connection therewith), (iii) for general working capital and operational expenses (including, without limitation, a carve-out for Bankruptcy Court approved professional fees and other administrative fees arising in the Case, post-petition inventory purchases and post-petition lease payments) in accordance with the Budget subject to the Permitted Variance, and (iv) to fund loans to EnerDel, Inc., who in consideration of such loans shall guaranty the Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, except as may be set forth in any Financing Order, none of the Revolving Advances, in whole or in part, shall be used (i) to attack the validity, priority or enforceability of any of the claims of the Agent and the Lenders, (ii) to research, review, analyze or investigate with respect to or in connection with any litigation, claim, objection or cause of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Agent and the Lenders (whether or not arising from or related to pre-petition or post-petition acts, omissions or other conduct), or (iii) to file, prosecute or otherwise pursue any litigation, claim, objection or cause of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Agent or the Lenders (whether or not arising from or related to pre-petition or post-petition liens, acts, omissions or other conduct).

2.7 Voluntary Prepayment; Reduction of the Maximum Amount; Termination of the Commitments by the Borrower.

The Borrower may prepay the Revolving Advances in whole at any time or from time to time in part. The Borrower may terminate the Commitments or reduce the Maximum Amount at any time if it gives the Agent at least 10 days advance written notice prior to the proposed termination date.

2.8 Revolving Advances to Pay Obligations.

Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.1, any Lender may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without the Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 would not be satisfied, make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations from time to time due and payable.

2.9 Grants, Rights and Remedies.

The Liens, security interests and the administrative priority granted pursuant to Article III may be independently granted by the Loan Documents and by other Loan Documents hereafter entered into. This Agreement, the Interim Financing Order, the Final Financing Order and such other Loan Documents supplement each other, and the grants, priorities, rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder are cumulative.

2.10 Perfection.

The Liens and security interests securing the Obligations, as granted in Article III, shall be deemed valid and perfected by entry of the Interim Financing Order and entry of the Interim Financing Order shall have occurred on or before the date of any Revolving Advance hereunder. The Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to file any financing statements, mortgages, notices of Lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction or filing office or to take any other action in order to validate or perfect the Lien and security interest granted by or pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Financing Order or Final Financing Order or any other Loan Document, which Lien and security interest shall be deemed perfected without Agent or Lenders taking any action whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower agrees, promptly upon request by the Agent or the Required Lenders to take all actions reasonably requested by the Agent or the Required Lenders to perfect a first priority Lien in all or any portion of the Collateral.

2.11 [Intentionally Omitted]

2.12 Waiver of Claims to Surcharge

In accordance with the Final Financing Order, the Borrower and the Borrower’s bankruptcy estates hereby waive any claims to surcharge the Collateral under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, excluding, however, any such claims for matters provided for in the Budget and incurred prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and termination of this Agreement but not paid by the Borrower (subject to Lenders’ rights to object to any such claims).

III. OTHER CHARGES AND FEES

3.1 Computation of Fees; Lawful Limits

In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit, then, the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if any Lender shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful rate, then such excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and charges hereunder, then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower hereunder, and if the then remaining excess interest is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, such Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.1 shall control to the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith.

IX. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT

9.1 Rights and Remedies

In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Article VIII hereof, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and upon five (5) Business Days notice to Borrower, Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, solely at the request of the Required Lenders in compliance with Section 10.11 and to any statutory committee shall, subject to the Standstill Period, if any, have the right to exercise any and all rights, options and remedies provided for in any Loan Document, under the UCC or at law or in equity and the automatic stay provided under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed lifted or modified to the extent necessary to allow the Agent and the Required Lenders to take the following actions without further notice or a hearing, which rights are hereby waived: (a) foreclose on its Collateral; (b) enforce all of its guaranty rights; (c) charge the default rate of interest on the Revolving Advances; and (d) declare the principal of and accrued interest, fees and expenses constituting the Obligations to be due and payable. Upon and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Lenders shall be required to file a motion seeking relief from the automatic stay to enforce any of its other rights or remedies. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and from time to time, without prior notice, but solely at the request of the Required Lenders, to pay for the performance of any of the Obligations unless Borrower is in good faith with due diligence by appropriate proceedings contesting those items. Such expenses and advances shall be added to the Obligations until reimbursed to Lenders, and such payments by Agent shall not be construed as a waiver by Lenders of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of Lenders. The Lenders shall be entitled to seek the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee and have an expedited hearing with respect to such request, on not more than five (5) Business Days notice, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s calendar. The Lenders may exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Financing Orders (subject to any applicable notice or grace periods set forth therein). If the Lenders sell any of the Collateral on credit, the Obligations will be reduced only to the extent of payments actually received. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Lenders may resell the Collateral and shall apply any proceeds actually received to the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, so long as the Standstill Period is in effect, the Lenders and the Agent shall not exercise their rights and remedies set forth or referred to in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including this Section 9.1 (except for their rights to charge the default rate of interest on the Revolving Advances).

9.2 Application of Proceeds

In addition to any other rights, options and remedies Agent has under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, all dividends, interest, rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues, income and other proceeds collected or received from collecting, holding, managing, renting or selling upon exercise of its remedies hereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such collection, and all other payments that Agent (in such capacity) may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in each such case, documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses, search, audit, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred in connection therewith); (ii) second, to the payment of all other Obligations pro rata among Lenders until all such Obligations are paid in full, and (iii) third, to the payment of any surplus then remaining to Borrower, unless otherwise provided by law or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations or any, of the other items referred to in this Section 9.2.

9.3 Lender as a Party-in-Interest

The Borrower hereby stipulates and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders are and shall remain parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Case and shall have the right to participate, object and be heard in any motion or proceeding in connection therewith. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of the Agent’s or Lenders’ rights or remedies under applicable law or documentation. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders shall have the right to make any motion or raise any objection it deems to be in their interests (specifically including but not limited to objections to use of proceeds of the Revolving Advances, to payment of professional fees and expenses or the amount thereof, to sales or other transactions outside the ordinary course of business or to assumption or rejection of any executory contract or lease), provided that the Agent and the Lenders will not exercise such right if the action or inaction by the Borrower which is the subject of such motion or objection is expressly permitted by any covenant or provision of this Agreement.

9.4 Standstill and Funding Upon an Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bzinfin shall make an offer to the GS Funds to become a party to this Agreement as a Lender and within 5 Business Days of Bzinfin’s offer the GS Funds shall execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement. Effective as of the date of the execution and delivery to Agent of a Joinder Agreement each GS Fund shall become a “Lender” hereunder and shall be entitled to the full benefit of, and be required to fulfill the obligations (other than Commitments) of a Lender under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent Lenders have benefits and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, all commencing as of date of such Joinder Agreement; provided that the GS Funds shall have zero Dollars ($0.00) Commitments to make any Revolving Advances. Funding by each GS Fund of its portion of any Revolving Advance shall be in the sole discretion of such GS Fund. If a Revolving Advance is requested by Borrower and Bzinfin elects to fund such Revolving Advance, the GS Funds shall have the right to fund 50% (but not less than 50%) of the amount of such Revolving Advance. Bzinfin shall promptly notify the GS Funds in writing of its willingness to fund the requested Revolving Advance and the GS Funds shall promptly confirm in writing whether they elect to fund their portion of such Revolving Advance. If the GS Funds so elect, the GS Funds will fund 50% (but not less than 50%) of such Revolving Advance and Bzinfin will fund the remaining 50% of such Revolving Advance; provided that any such Revolving Advance shall be used solely in accordance with the Budget or as agreed by Agent, the Lenders and Borrower. From and after each funding of the GS Funds’ portion of any Revolving Advance, Bzinfin’s remaining Commitment shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of the Revolving Advance funded by the GS Funds.

9.5 Credit Bids.

The Lenders shall maintain their right to credit bid the Lenders’ claims under this Agreement or the Final Financing Order pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code.

9.6 Application of Payments to Obligations; Application of Proceeds of Collateral.

(a) All proceeds from the sale of Collateral shall be immediately paid in cash by Borrower to the Lenders, and shall applied by Lenders (i) first in satisfaction of outstanding Pre-Petition Obligations, and (ii) second in satisfaction of outstanding Obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Following and Event of Default, all payments of Obligations by the Borrower to the Lenders shall be made as and when due hereunder, and shall applied by the Lenders (i) first in satisfaction of outstanding Pre-Petition Obligations, and (ii) second in satisfaction of outstanding Obligations under this Agreement.

9.7 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive

The Required Lenders shall have the right in their sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens and/or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Lenders’ rights, Liens or remedies under any Loan Document, applicable law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Loan Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, described in any Loan Document are cumulative and are not alternative to or exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Agent or Lenders otherwise may have. The partial or complete exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other further exercise of such or any other right or remedy.

X. AGENT PROVISIONS

10.1 Appointment of Agent.

Each Lender hereby designates Bzinfin S.A. as Agent to act as herein specified. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, Agent shall hold all Collateral and all fees, charges and expenses received pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or third parties and Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such agents or third parties in connection with the performance of Agent’s duties hereunder. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have any rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions of this Section 10. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower.

10.2 Nature of Duties of Agent.

Agent shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein.

10.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent.

(a) Independently and without reliance upon Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of Borrower, Guarantor and any other Lender in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower, Guarantor and any other Lender, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loan or at any time or times thereafter.

(b) Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any notes or the financial or other condition of Borrower or any Guarantor. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the financial condition of Borrower or any Guarantor, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.

10.4 Certain Rights of Agent.

Agent shall have the right to request instructions from the Required Lenders by notice to each such Lender. If Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. Any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders hereunder, or the failure of Agent or Required Lenders to take any action hereunder, shall be binding on each of Lenders.

10.5 Reliance by Agent.

Agent shall be under no duty to examine, inquire into, or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telecopier message, electronic mail or other documentary or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person. Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower with respect to matters concerning Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.6 Indemnification of Agent.

To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent, in proportion to its Commitment Percentage, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnities and cease to do, or not commence, the acts to be indemnified against, even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional indemnification is provided. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 10.6 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.7 Agent in its Individual Capacity.

With respect to the Loan made by it pursuant hereto, Bzinfin or any subsequent Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a note or participation interest and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Bzinfin or any subsequent Agent in its individual capacity. Agent may lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any business with Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower and Guarantor for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders, to the extent such activities are not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

10.8 Holders of Notes.

Agent may deem and treat the payee of any promissory note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any promissory note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such promissory note or of any promissory note or notes issued in exchange therefore.

10.9 Successor Agent.

(a) Agent may, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Lenders and Borrower, resign at any time (effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.9) by giving written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) days’ notice, to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then, upon five (5) days’ notice, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders appoint a successor Agent.

(b) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

10.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders (or Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or other Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain as perfected and first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) the Security Interest and Lien upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Agent will not, without the consent of the Required Lenders, execute any release of Agent’s security interest in substantially all of the Collateral except for releases relating to dispositions of Collateral (x) permitted by this Agreement and (y) in connection with the repayment in full of all of the Obligations by Borrower and the termination of all obligations of Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent shall not be required to execute any such release on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty. In the event of any sale, transfer or foreclosure of any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

(c) To the extent, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.10, Agent’s execution of a release is required to release its Lien upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is permitted under this Agreement or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders, and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred.

(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any Guarantor or protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Agent herein have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 10.10 or in any of the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) In the event that any Lender receives any proceeds of any Collateral or other payments from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Obligations, including by setoff or otherwise, in an amount in excess of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such proceeds, such Lender shall purchase for cash (and other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. No Lender shall exercise any right of set off without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders and in all cases such right of setoff shall be subject to this Section 10.10(e).

10.11 Actions with Respect to Defaults.

Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders, subject to the Standstill Period, if any. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to accelerate the payment date of the Obligations, or to realize upon any Collateral, unless instructed to do so by the Required Lenders.

10.12 Demand.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall make demand for repayment by Borrower and/or Guarantor of all Obligations owing by Borrower upon the written request of the Required Lenders.

XI. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

11.1 Waivers

Except as expressly provided for herein, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby waives set off, counterclaim, demand, presentment, protest, all defenses with respect to any and all instruments and all notices and demands of any description, and the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand under any Loan Document; provided that such waivers shall not apply with respect to any Lender to the extent that any of the foregoing arise from or are attributable to a breach of a Loan Document or the Plan Support Agreement by such Lender or any of such Lender’s affiliates (other than Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or employees).

No course of action or dealing, renewal, release or extension of any provision of any Loan Document, or single or partial exercise of any such provision, or delay, failure or omission on Agent’s or any Lender’s part in enforcing any such provision shall affect the liability of Borrower or operate as a waiver of such provision or affect the liability of Borrower or preclude any other or further exercise of such provision. No waiver by any party to any Loan Document of any one or more defaults by any other party in the performance of any of the provisions of any Loan Document shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future default, whether of a like or different nature, and each such waiver shall be limited solely to the express terms and provisions of such waiver.

EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 11.3 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

There shall be no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, except (a) as contemplated by Section 13.4 and (b) the GS Funds with respect to provisions set forth in Sections 4.1(d), 4.2(g), 5.16, 6.1, 7.5, 9.1, 9.4, 11.4, 13.2 and the applicable definitions set forth in Exhibit A hereto, each of which may be enforced by each of the GS Funds as if it were a direct party to this Agreement.

Schedule 5.6

Pending/Threatened Litigation

On August 18, 2011, two putative class action lawsuits were filed against the Borrower and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Beckman v. Ener1, Inc. et al., No. 11-CV-5794 (S.D.N.Y.); and Neufeld v. Ener1, Inc., et al., No. 11-CV-5795 (S.D.N.Y.)). On August 26, 2011, a third putative class action lawsuit was filed against the same defendants in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Foster v. Ener1, Inc., et al., No. 11-CV-6040 (S.D.N.Y.)). The complaints in each of these actions seek damages on behalf of persons who purchased Ener1 securities between January 10, 2011 and August 15, 2011. The complaints assert claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for alleged material misrepresentations and omissions in the Borrower’s public disclosures during the putative class period, and in particular disclosures relating to the Borrower’s loans to, and receivables with, Think Holdings. On October 17, 2011, three competing motions for appointment of lead plaintiff were filed. Each of the proposed lead plaintiff groups has also requested that the three lawsuits be consolidated. We expect these actions to be consolidated and for the lead plaintiff, once appointed, to file a consolidated amended complaint. The plaintiffs in each of the three actions have agreed that no response from the defendants is necessary until after the appointment of a lead plaintiff and the filing of a consolidated amended complaint.

Letter dated October 28, 2011 from Applied Materials Inc. to EnerDel, Inc. relating to that certain Production System Feedback and Discount Agreement dated Mach 14, 2011 (the “Production Agreement”) stating that EnerDel, Inc. has failed to make a payment of $375,000 as required under the Production Agreement.

In the litigation entitled Kiryung Electronics Co., Ltd. v. Ener1 Korea, Inc. a Korean court ruled against Ener1 Korea, Inc. and assessed damages of approximately $1.08 million (US). Ener1 Korea, Inc. is currently appealing this ruling. The Seoul High Court is scheduled to issue a judgment on January 27, 2012.

On October 17, 2011, the Borrower received a Staff Determination Letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Borrower did not comply with NASDAQ’s filing requirements as a result of its failure to timely file its form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, NASDAQ staff had determined that the September 12, 2011 amendment to the Borrower’s Line of Credit Agreement with Bzinfin S.A., dated June 29, 2011 violated NASDAQ’s shareholder approval requirements contained in Listing Rules 5635(c) and (d).
