The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Lender agrees to make Loans to the Borrower at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof, and until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitment in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding $15,000,000. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a)The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000.

(b) Each Borrowing shall be made in Dollars and, subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.13, shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans. The Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of the Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) The Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Lender of such request by telephone not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing; provided that solely with respect to the initial Credit Event hereunder, the Borrower shall notify the Lender of a request for a Borrowing by telephone not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, one Business Day before such proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Lender of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; and (iii) the amount of such Borrowing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender the principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from each Loan made by the Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(d) The Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a promissory note payable to the Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lender and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event the Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05. Interest on Loans. (a)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Subject to the following sentence, interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash or, if such interest is not paid in cash on any Interest Payment Date, interest shall be payable in kind (a “PIK Amount”), which shall be capitalized and added on each Interest Payment Date with respect to the applicable Loan to the then outstanding principal amount of such Loan and be deemed to have been paid with the proceeds of an additional Loan by the Lender. In no event may interest on any Loan be paid in kind if, and to the extent that, after giving effect to such payment in kind, the aggregate principal amount of Loans (which shall include any PIK Amount) would exceed the Commitment. If, as a result of the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall not be permitted to pay interest in kind on any Loan (or any portion of such interest), interest on such Loan (or such portion thereof) shall be due and payable in cash in immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For all purposes under this Agreement, all PIK Amounts capitalized under this paragraph shall be treated as principal amount of Loans once so capitalized.

(d) The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Lender, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.06. Default Interest. If (i) the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, by acceleration or otherwise, or (ii) if any Event of Default under Article VII (other than paragraphs (b), (c), (g) or (h) thereunder) has occurred and is continuing and the Lender shall so determine, then, in the case of clause (i) above, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full or, in the case of clause (ii) above, from the date of such determination and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by law, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.05 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

SECTION 2.07. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Lender shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Lender shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower. In the event of any such determination, until the Lender shall have advised the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.09 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Lender under this Section 2.07 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitment. (a)The Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commitment shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 30, if the initial Credit Event shall not have occurred by such time.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Lender, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $3,000,000.

SECTION 2.09. Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Lender not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to continuation, to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, subject to the following:

(i) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(ii) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iii) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be continued.

SECTION 2.10. Voluntary Prepayment. (a)The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Lender before 12:00 (noon), New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000.

(b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that if such prepayment is for all of the then outstanding Loans, then the Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date by not more than five Business Days; provided further, however, that the provisions of Section 2.14 shall apply with respect to any such revocation or extension. All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.14 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.11. Mandatory Prepayments. (a)In the event of any termination of the entire Commitment, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all outstanding Borrowings. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Commitment or at any other time, the aggregate principal amount of Loans (which shall include any PIK Amount) would exceed the Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(b) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Loans.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that an Equity Issuance, other than an Equity Issuance permitted pursuant to Section 6.12(a), occurs, the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the occurrence of such Equity Issuance, apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom to prepay outstanding Loans.

(d) In the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or such subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans.

(e) In the event that any Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Extraordinary Receipt, such Loan Party shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans.

(f) The Borrower shall deliver to the Lender, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.11, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.14, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.12. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by the Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by the Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to the Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to the Lender, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If the Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made pursuant hereto to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, and the calculation of such amount or amounts in reasonable detail, as determined in the sole discretion of the Lender, shall be delivered to the Borrower and such amount or amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate the Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if the Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to the Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.13. Change in Legality. (a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower:

(i) the Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by the Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) the Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event the Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by the Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of the Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by the Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.13, a notice to the Borrower by the Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by the Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.14. Breakage. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender against any loss or expense that the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by the Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) the Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by the Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by the Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by the Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 and the calculation of such amount or amounts in reasonable detail, as determined in the sole discretion of the Lender, shall be delivered to the Borrower and such amount or amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.15. Payments. (a)The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Lender at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010 to the following account:

The Bank of New York
ABA 021000018
CS Cayman Agency Clearing
Acct No. 8900492627
Ref: Ener1

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest, if applicable.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Lender, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) If the Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority unless the Governmental Authority assessed such penalties, interest or other charges due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 8.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.
