INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS)

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT dated as of _________ (this “Agreement”), between ENERSYS, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the other party signatory hereto (the “Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws providing for indemnification of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and the Company wishes to clarify and enhance the rights and obligations of the Company and the Indemnitee with respect to indemnification;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Indemnitee’s service or continued service as a director or officer of the Company, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Service by Indemnitee. The Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected and qualified or appointed and until such time as the Indemnitee resigns or fails to stand for reelection or is removed from his position. The Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign or be removed from such position in the sole discretion of the Company (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation or restriction imposed by the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or otherwise by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to continue the Indemnitee in any such position.

2.Indemnification. Subject to Sections 8, 10 and 19(f) and the proviso contained in the last sentence of this Section 2, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee as provided in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment). Without limiting the scope of the indemnification provided by this Section 2, the right to indemnification of the Indemnitee provided hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to, those rights hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be paid to the Indemnitee:

arbitration pursuant to Section 10 to enforce the rights under this Agreement, unless the action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

3.Indemnification in Proceedings other than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Subject to Section 2, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 3 if the Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity. Pursuant to this Section 3, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all costs, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities, amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, and Expenses (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if, as determined in accordance with Section 8, the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful; provided, however, the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under the foregoing for any amounts paid in settlement without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that if a Change in Control of the Company has occurred, the Company shall be liable for indemnification of the Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if an Independent Counsel has approved the settlement.

4.Indemnification in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Subject to Section 2, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section 4 if the Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity. Pursuant to this Section 4, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all costs, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities, amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, and Expenses (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if, as determined in accordance with Section 8, the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that (a) no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which applicable law expressly prohibits such indemnification by reason of any adjudication of liability of the Indemnitee to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for such costs, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities and Expenses as such court shall deem proper, (b) the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under the foregoing for any amounts paid in settlement without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (c) if a Change in Control of the Company has occurred, the Company shall be liable for

indemnification of the Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if an Independent Counsel has approved the settlement.

5.Indemnification for Costs, Charges and Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding the limitations of Sections 3 and 4, subject to Sections 2(a) and 2(b), to the extent that the Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part, in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including, without limitation, the dismissal of any action without prejudice, or if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to be indemnified against Expenses, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith.

6.Partial Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the costs, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities or Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such costs, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

7.Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness and Additional Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee’s behalf if the Indemnitee appears as a witness or otherwise incurs legal expenses as a result of or related to the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, in any threatened, pending or completed legal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding or matter to which the Indemnitee neither is, nor is threatened to be made, a party.

8.Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. Upon written request by the Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, the entitlement of the Indemnitee to indemnification, to the extent not expressly provided for pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the following person or persons, who shall be empowered to make such determination: (a) if a Change of Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee; and (b) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (i) by the Board by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors, or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee; or (iv) by the stockholders of the Company. Such Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board and approved by the Indemnitee. Upon any failure of the Board so to select such Independent Counsel or upon the failure of the Indemnitee so to approve, such Independent Counsel shall be selected upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction. Such determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written request for indemnification. Such request shall include documentation or information that is necessary for such determination and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee. Any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with a request for indemnification or payment

of Expenses hereunder, under any other agreement, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance of the Company, shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee for any such Expense and agrees to hold the Indemnitee harmless therefrom irrespective of the outcome of the determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification. If the person or persons making such determination shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as to part (but not all) of the application for indemnification, such person or persons shall reasonably prorate such partial indemnification among the claims, issues or matters at issue at the time of the determination. If it is determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to the Indemnitee shall be made within seven days after such determination.

9.Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of the Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, advise in writing the Board or such other person or persons empowered to make the determination as provided in Section 8 that the Indemnitee has made such request for indemnification. Upon making such request for indemnification, the Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Company shall have the burden of proof in making any determination contrary to such presumption. If the person or persons so empowered to make such determination shall have failed to make the requested determination with respect to indemnification within 30 days after receipt by the Company of such request, a requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and the Indemnitee shall be absolutely entitled to such indemnification, absent actual and material fraud in the request for indemnification. The termination of any Proceeding described in Sections 3 or 4 by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, (a) create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful; or (b) otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitee to indemnification except as may be provided herein.

10.Remedies of the Indemnitee in Cases of Determination not to Indemnify or to pay Expenses. In the event that a determination is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or if payment has not been timely made following a determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8 and 9, or if Expenses are not paid pursuant to Section 15, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to final adjudication in a court of competent jurisdiction of entitlement to such indemnification or payment. Alternatively, the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in an arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, such award to be made within 60 days following the filing of the demand for arbitration. The Company shall not oppose the Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration or any other claim. The determination in any such judicial proceeding or arbitration shall be made de novo and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of a determination (if so made) pursuant to Section 8 or 9 that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. If a determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of Section 8 or 9 that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination and is precluded from

asserting that such determination has not been made or that the procedure by which such determination was made is not valid, binding and enforceable. The Company further agrees to stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and is precluded from making any assertions to the contrary. If the court or arbitrator shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification or payment of Expenses hereunder, the Company shall pay all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with or in relation to such adjudication or award in arbitration (including, but not limited to, any appellate Proceedings).

11.Non-Exclusivity. Indemnification and payment of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may now or in the future be entitled under any provision of the Bylaws of the Company or other organizational documents of the Company, vote of stockholders or resolution of directors, provision of law, agreement or otherwise.

12.Expenses to Enforce Agreement. In the event that the Indemnitee is subject to or intervenes in any Proceeding in which the validity or enforceability of this Agreement is at issue or seeks an adjudication or award in arbitration to enforce the Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Indemnitee, if the Indemnitee prevails in whole or in part in such action, shall be entitled to recover from the Company and shall be indemnified by the Company against any actual Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee.

13.Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period the Indemnitee is a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of any other entity (including, but not limited to, another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter with respect to any possible claims based on the fact that the Indemnitee was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of any other entity (including, but not limited to, another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise). This Agreement shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or substantially all its assets and any successor by merger or operation of law) and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives and estate of the Indemnitee.

14.Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any such Proceeding of which the Indemnitee notifies the Company:

(a)    the Company shall be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; and

(b)    except as otherwise provided in this Section 14(b), to the extent that it may wish, the Company, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof except as otherwise provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) the Company shall not within 15 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnitee in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which the Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above; and

(c)    if the Company has assumed the defense of a Proceeding, the Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on or disclosure obligation with respect to the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent. Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.

15.Payment of Expenses. All Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company at the request of the Indemnitee, each such payment to be made within seven days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such payment or payments from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. The Indemnitee’s entitlement to such Expenses shall include those incurred in connection with any Proceeding by the Indemnitee seeking a judgment in court or an adjudication or award in arbitration pursuant to this Agreement (including the enforcement of this provision). Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses and costs incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith and shall include or be accompanied by an undertaking, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to reimburse such amount if it is finally determined, after all appeals by a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses by the Company as provided by this Agreement or otherwise. The payment of Expenses shall be made without regard to the Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to the Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. The payment of Expenses shall be unsecured and interest-free.

16.Severability; Prior Indemnification Agreements. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent of the parties that the Company provide protection to the Indemnitee to the fullest enforceable extent. This Agreement shall supersede and replace any prior indemnification agreements entered into by and between the Company and the Indemnitee and any such prior agreements shall be terminated upon execution of this Agreement.
