5.7 Registration Statement.

(a) Filing. On or before the seventy-fifth (75th) day following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if the Buyer is not then eligible to use Form S-3, such other form that is then available to the Buyer for resales of its securities) as a “shelf” registration statement under Rule 415 covering the resale of the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be included in such Registration Statement pursuant to any Governmental Requirement. The Registration Statement shall state, to the extent permitted by Rule 416 under the Securities Act, that it also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Ener1 Common Stock as may become issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in order to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar events.

(b) Effectiveness. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day following the filing thereof. The Buyer shall respond promptly to any and all comments made by the staff of the SEC on the Registration Statement, and shall submit to the SEC, within three (3) Business Days after the Buyer learns that no review of the Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff of the SEC has no further comments on a Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than three (3) Business Days after the submission of such request.

Each Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to deliver to the Buyer a written request specifying the amount of Registrable Securities that such Holder intends to sell and such Holder’s intended method of distribution. Upon receipt of such request, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities which the Buyer has been requested to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such Holder; provided, however, that the Buyer shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to the terms hereof without obligation to the Holders. In connection with any registered offering undertaken by the Buyer or by security holders of the Buyer, if the managing underwriter(s) thereof, in the case of an underwritten offering, shall request a limitation on the number of shares of Ener1 Common Stock which may be included in a registration statement because, in the judgment of such underwriter(s), marketing, regulatory or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate such offering or, if the number of shares to be included on such registration statement is limited by applicable law or regulation, then the Buyer shall be obligated to include in the registration statement only such amount of Registrable Securities with respect to which each Holder has requested inclusion hereunder as such underwriter(s) shall permit, in the case of an underwritten offering, or as may be lawfully included on such registration statement, where such amount is limited by law or regulation. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to include Registrable Securities in a registration statement, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Holders; provided, however, that the Buyer shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Buyer has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in the registration statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided, further, that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the right to include such securities in the registration statement.

(d) Additional Registration Obligations of the Buyer. In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Buyer shall:

(i) notify each Holder, as promptly as practicable, of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement;

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement during the Registration Period, or as may be reasonably requested by a Holder in order to incorporate information concerning such Holder or such Holder’s intended method of distribution;

(iii) prior to or as promptly as practicable following the Closing, use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the listing of all Registrable Securities on the American Stock Exchange (or such other principal exchange on which the Ener1 Common Stock is then listed);

(iv) furnish to each Holder such number of copies of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities;

(v) notify each Holder immediately after becoming aware of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (a “Disclosure Triggering Event”), and as promptly as practicable thereafter prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or an amendment to, or document to be incorporated into, such prospectus as may be necessary so that such prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

(vi) provide to each Holder and its representatives the reasonable opportunity to conduct, subject to confidentiality agreements reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, a reasonable inquiry of the Buyer’s financial and other records during normal business hours and make available its officers, directors and employees for questions regarding information which such Holder may reasonably request in order to fulfill any due diligence obligation on its part;

(vii) use commercially reasonable to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under the Securities Laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as shall be reasonably requested by a Holder; provided, however, that the Buyer shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(viii) in the event of any underwritten public offering by the Buyer, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement (which agreement shall be in a form customary for similar underwritten public offerings) with terms reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter of such offering, and participate in customary “road show” presentations;

(ix) maintain a transfer agent and registrar and a CUSIP number for the Ener1 Common Stock; and

(x) bear all expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to the Holders, incurred by the Buyer in connection with the filings, registrations and qualifications described in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 5.7, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Buyer.

(e) Obligations of each Holder. In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities hereunder, and as a condition to the Buyer’s obligations under this Section 5.7, each Holder shall:

(i) timely furnish to the Buyer in writing such information regarding itself and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as the Buyer shall reasonably request in order to effect the registration thereof;

(ii) upon receipt of written notice from the Buyer of the occurrence of a Disclosure Triggering Event, immediately discontinue any sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Holder has received notice from the Buyer that such Disclosure Trigger Event no longer exists; provided, that (A) such notice from the Buyer shall not effect any sale executed by a Holder prior to such Holder’s receipt of such notice and (B) Buyer shall not engage in any transaction or activity which would constitute or result in a Disclosure Triggering Event to the extent such Disclosure Triggering Event would prevent any Holder from disposing of Registrable Securities for more than ninety (90) days in any 12-month period;

(iii) to the extent required by applicable law, deliver a prospectus to the purchaser of such Registrable Securities; and

(iv) notify the Buyer when it has sold, distributed or otherwise transferred all of the Registrable Securities held by it pursuant to either the Registration Statement or Rule 144.

(f) Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Section 5.7:

(i) To the extent permitted by law, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors and partners of each Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Buyer will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director or partner, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the Buyer’s indemnity contained in this Section 5.7(f)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Buyer be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished in writing and expressly stated for use in connection with such registration by such Holder or any person acting on such Holder’s behalf.

(ii) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included for resale on the Registration Statement will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Buyer within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly stated in a writing for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses, as incurred, where such expenses are reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.7(f)(ii), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.7(f)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Holder under this Section 5.7(f)(ii) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder with respect to the shares sold by such Holder pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.7(f) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5.7(f), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party (subject to the last sentence of Section 5.7(f)(ii)) if the indemnified party reasonably determines that representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to notify an indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5.7(f), but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.7(f).

(iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.7(f) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with that which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, provided that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder pursuant to this Section 5.7(f)(iv) exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder with respect to the shares sold by such Holder pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(v) The obligations of the Buyer and Holders under this Section 5.7(f) shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement under this Section 5.7.

(g) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Buyer to register the resale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.7 may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the Buyer is given written notice thereof, the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such transfer complies with the terms of this Agreement.

5.8 Legend. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the certificates representing the Securities may bear at issuance a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and may not be offered or sold unless a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws shall have become effective with regard thereto, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is available in connection with such offer or sale.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that, if Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, subject in the case of a sale pursuant to Rule 144 to receipt by the Buyer of customary documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and its legal counsel in connection therewith, such Securities shall be issued without any legend or other restrictive language and, with respect to Securities upon which such legend is stamped, the Buyer shall issue new certificates without such legend to the Holder upon request.

5.9 Limitations on Disposition. Each Seller agrees that it shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any Securities, unless:

(a) such proposed disposition is made pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act and complies with the plan of distribution contained therein;

(b) if such proposed disposition is to a Person that owns or operates (i) a hedge fund or substantially similar investment vehicle or (ii) a business that competes directly with the Business, such Seller has delivered written notice thereof to the Buyer specifying the material terms of such disposition and offering such Securities to the Buyer upon the same terms specified in such notice; upon receipt of such notice, the Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days in which to notify such Seller that it wishes to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Securities upon such terms; in the event that the Buyer either does not respond to such notice within such five Business Day period or declines in writing to purchase such Securities, such Seller may sell such Securities to such Person upon the same terms specified in such notice (it being understood that if such terms are amended or modified in any material respect so that they are less favorable to such Seller, such Seller must reoffer such Securities to the Buyer in accordance with this subparagraph (b) on such amended or modified terms prior to selling them to such Person);

(c) if such proposed disposition is made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to Rule 144), such Seller has furnished the Buyer with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act; and

(d) if such proposed disposition is made pursuant to Rule 144, such Seller has furnished the Buyer with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and its legal counsel that the proposed transaction satisfies the requirements of Rule 144.

5.10 Purchase of Minority Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers shall have no liability or obligation in connection with the election by the Institutional Shareholders to exercise the co-sale rights referred to in Section 5.1(a), and will be indemnified and held harmless by the Buyer with respect thereto.

5.11 Name Change. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall change the names of the TVG Entities to remove “TVG” or any portion thereof from such names.

5.12 Update of Disclosure Schedules. From time to time prior to the Closing, the Sellers may supplement or amend the Schedules referred to in Section 3 solely for the purpose of providing disclosure with respect to matters relating to the Enertech Subsidiary as long as such matters have not had or would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Enertech. The representations and warranties of the Sellers hereunder as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to be made with and after giving effect to all such supplements and amendments.

(a) by the mutual written agreement of the Sellers and the Buyer;

(b) by the Sellers or the Buyer, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2008; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) may not be exercised by a Party whose failure to perform or fulfill any of its obligations hereunder has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(c) by the Sellers or the Buyer, if there shall be in effect any (i) final, non-appealable injunction or binding order of any court or other tribunal having jurisdiction over either Seller, the Buyer, the TVG Entities, the Enertech Subsidiary or Enertech that prohibits, enjoins or makes the Transaction illegal or (ii) law or regulation that is enacted or adopted in final form, that prohibits or makes the Transaction illegal;

(d) by the Buyer, upon breach in any material respect of any material representation, warranty or covenant on the part of either Seller set forth in this Agreement, or if any material representation or warranty of either Seller shall have become untrue in any material respect, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 would not be satisfied; or

(e) by the Sellers, upon breach in any material respect of any material representation, warranty or covenant on the part of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Buyer shall have become untrue in any material respect, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 would not be satisfied.

Such right of termination shall be exercised by written notice of termination given by the terminating Party to the other Parties hereto in the manner hereinafter provided.

7.2 Effect of Termination. Each Party’s right of termination under Section 7.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an exclusive election of remedies.

8. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SUBSEQUENT TO CLOSING.

9. INDEMNIFICATION.

9.1 Indemnification by the Sellers.

(a) Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.1(b), 9.4 and 10.14 below, from and after the Closing, each Seller agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold the Buyer and its subsidiaries and Affiliates and persons serving as officers, directors, members, attorneys, stockholders, partners or employees thereof (collectively the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any actual out-of-pocket damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all reasonable amounts, paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing), other than consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages or losses, which may be sustained or suffered by any of them arising out of or based upon any breach by either Seller of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, any certificate, schedule, exhibit or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto, to which either Seller is a party

(b) Limitations on Indemnification by the Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be payable pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (i) unless the total of all claims for such indemnification exceeds the Indemnification Threshold, in which case the full amount of any such claims shall be recoverable in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) after indemnification payments equal to the amount of the Indemnification Cap in the aggregate have been made. Any amounts paid to a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be returned to the Sellers in the event that it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitration tribunal that such Buyer Indemnified Party was not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. In no event shall the Sellers be required to provide indemnification hereunder in an aggregate amount greater than the Indemnification Cap. Any indemnification payments by a Seller hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Buyer.

9.2 Indemnification by the Buyer.

(a) Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.2(b) below, from and after the Closing, and in addition to any other rights and remedies the Seller may have under this Agreement or pursuant to applicable law, the Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold each Seller and its subsidiaries and Affiliates and persons serving as officers, directors, members, attorneys, stockholders, partners or employees thereof (collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any actual out-of-pocket damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all reasonable amounts, paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing), other than consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages or losses, which may be sustained or suffered by any of them arising out of or based upon any breach by the Buyer of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, any certificate, schedule, exhibit or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto, to which the Buyer is a party.

(b) Limitations on Indemnification by the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be payable pursuant to Section 9.2(a) above (i) unless the total of all claims for such indemnification exceeds the Indemnification Threshold, in which case the full amount of any such claims shall be recoverable in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) after indemnification payments equal to the amount of the Indemnification Cap in the aggregate have been made; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to the Buyer’s obligation to deliver the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. Any amounts paid to a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be returned to the Buyer in the event that it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitration tribunal that such Seller Indemnified Party was not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. Any indemnification payments by the Buyer hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Sellers.

9.3 Notice; Defense of Claims. An Indemnified Party may make claims for indemnification hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party within the period in which indemnification claims can be made hereunder. If indemnification is sought for a claim or liability asserted by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall also give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party promptly after it receives notice of the claim or liability being asserted, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by the failure or delay in giving such notice. Such notice shall summarize the bases for the claim for indemnification and any claim or liability being asserted by a third party. Within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any third party claim or liability at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give notice that it disputes an indemnification claim within such thirty (30) day period, it shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to provide the indemnification required hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to direct the defense against a third party claim or liability with counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) as long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting a good faith and reasonably diligent defense. The Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of a third party claim or liability at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party is advised in writing by its legal counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the Indemnified Party may engage separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend a third party claim or liability is given by the Indemnifying Party, or if such good faith and reasonably diligent defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to undertake the defense of such claim or liability (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party). The Indemnified Party shall make available such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of any third party claim or litigation, enter into a consent or entry of judgment or enter into a settlement that does not provide for a full and unconditional release of all liabilities on the part of the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

9.4 Remedies. Except for (i) the indemnification provided for in Section 5.7(f) in connection with a sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, (ii) equitable relief pursuant to Section 10.14 and (iii) claims alleged to have occurred as the result of fraud or intentional misconduct, the foregoing indemnification provisions are the sole and exclusive remedy that any Party may have with respect to losses and other matters covered by or arising out of this Agreement.

9.5 Payment of Indemnity Amounts by Sellers. Each Seller may make any indemnity payment required to be made by it under Section 9.1 in cash, in shares of Ener1 Common Stock at a value equal to the greater of (i) $7.20 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) and (ii) the market value of the Ener1 Common Stock on the date such payment becomes due, or in any combination of cash and such stock. For purposes of this Section 9.5, “market value” means, as of any date, the average closing bid price for the Ener1 Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange (or such other principal exchange on which the Ener1 Common Stock is then listed) during the period of five (5) trading days immediately prior to such date.

9.6 Limitations on Liability.

(a) Insured Claims. No liability for indemnification or otherwise shall attach to either Seller in respect of any claim if and to the extent that such claim relates to any loss or damage recoverable by the Buyer or any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under any policy of insurance or which would have been so recoverable but for any change in insurance coverage since the Closing Date.

(b) Changes in Law. No liability for indemnification or otherwise shall attach to any Party in respect of any claim to the extent that such claim would not have arisen (or the amount of the claim would not have been increased) but for a change in legislation made after the date hereof or a change in the interpretation of the law after the date hereof (whether or not such change purports to be effective retrospectively in whole or in part).

(c) No Double Recovery. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once for or in relation to the same loss, damage, deficiency or breach.

(d) Opportunity to Remedy. No liability shall attach to any Party in respect of any claim if and to the extent that the breach giving rise to such claim is capable of remedy without cost or loss to any Indemnified Party and is in fact remedied and such claim extinguished without such cost or loss within thirty (30) days following (i) the date on which such Party received notice from the Indemnified Party of such breach or (ii) if earlier, the date on which such Party first became aware of such breach.

(e) Corresponding Benefit. In assessing any losses or other amounts for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity hereunder, there shall be taken into account the value of any benefit accruing to such Indemnified Party as a result of the resolution of the claim pursuant to which such losses or other amounts became recoverable, including, without limitation, the amount of any Tax relief obtained or obtainable by such Indemnified Party.

10. MISCELLANEOUS.

10.1 Fees and Expenses. Each of the Parties will bear its own expenses in connection with the negotiation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under, and shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard for its conflict of law provisions. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.3, (i) each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the appropriate Courts of England and Wales located in London, England shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between the parties pertaining directly or indirectly to this Agreement, and all documents, instruments and agreements executed pursuant hereto, or to any matter arising herefrom (unless otherwise expressly provided for herein or therein); and (ii) to the extent permitted by law, the parties hereby expressly submit and consent in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or proceeding commenced in any of such courts, and agree that service of such summons and complaint or other process or papers may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the Party at the address to which notices are to be sent pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party waives any claim that London, England is an inconvenient forum or an improper forum based on lack of venue. The prevailing Party in any such litigation is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

10.3 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or difference arising between the Parties out of or in relation to this Agreement or for the breach thereof shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration in London, England. Such arbitration shall be conducted in the English language in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) by three (3) arbitrators, of whom one shall be appointed by the Sellers, another shall be appointed by the Buyer, and the third shall be appointed by the first two (2) arbitrators. If the third arbitrator is not so appointed within one month after the appointment of the first two arbitrators, the third arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the ICC. The decision of the arbitrators shall be made on the principles of majority rule. The award made by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing Party in any such arbitration is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including without limitation the cost of filing the arbitration claim.

10.4 Notices. Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if delivered by hand, upon receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail or by private courier or delivery in person, upon the date on which receipt is acknowledged, or if sent by facsimile transmission, upon confirmation of transmission thereof. All notices to a Party will be sent to the addresses set forth below or to such other address or person as such Party may designate by notice to the other Party hereunder:

10.6 Assignability; Binding Effect. The rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assigned by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.7 Press Releases and Announcements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, prior to the Closing, any press releases related to this Agreement or the Transaction, or other announcements to the employees, customers, suppliers, vendors or service providers of Enertech or the Enertech Subsidiary will be issued jointly by the Sellers and the Buyer and only with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of the Sellers and the Buyer. The Parties acknowledge that, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Buyer will be required under applicable law to file a Form 8-K with the SEC describing the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction and including this Agreement as an exhibit.

10.8 Confidentiality. The Buyer and the Sellers shall, prior to the Closing, and the Sellers shall, at all times following the Closing, use their respective best efforts to maintain (and cause their respective Affiliates and representatives to maintain) the confidentiality of all proprietary and other non-public information regarding Enertech and the Enertech Subsidiary, except as required to file Tax returns and as required by law upon the written advice of counsel. In the event that any Party reasonably believes upon the written advice of counsel that it is required by law to disclose any confidential information described in this Section 10.8 the disclosing Party will (i) provide the other Parties with prompt notice before such disclosure in order that such other Parties may attempt to obtain a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such confidential information and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Parties in attempting to obtain such order or assurance. The provisions of this Section 10.8 shall not apply to any information, documents or materials which are, as shown by appropriate written evidence, in the public domain or, as shown by appropriate written evidence, shall come into the public domain, other than by reason of default by the applicable Party bound hereunder or its Affiliates.

10.9 Waiver of Conflict of Interest. Each Party hereby acknowledges and confirms understanding of the actual and potential conflicts of interest arising from Kim, Chang & Lee’s current and past representations of Enertech and all Parties in the Transaction and other matters and, after consultation with respective counsel, hereby waives any actual or potential conflicts of interest associated with such representation of Enertech and both Parties in connection with the Transaction, any ancillary matters and any and all other matters; provided, however, that such waiver relates solely to such conflicts of interest and not to any other claim(s).

10.10 Captions. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any term or provision hereof.

10.11 Execution in Counterparts. For the convenience of the Parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission of a “pdf” file, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.

10.12 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified, and no provision hereof may be waived, except in a writing duly and validly executed by the Buyer and TVGAC. Any waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

10.14 Equitable Remedies. It is specifically understood and agreed that a breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement by the Party required to comply with such covenant will result in irreparable injury to the other Party, that the remedy at law alone may be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other remedies which they may have at law or in equity, such other Party may enforce its rights by actions for specific performance and to seek both temporary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, but without limitation of its rights to recover such damages.

10.15 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.

10.16 Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, references to the singular will include the plural and vice versa. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement the words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.17 Construction. The Parties participated jointly in the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed against any Party as the drafter hereof.
