Effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Required Standstill Lenders hereby waive the requirements of Cross-Referenced Covenants 8.1, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.6 in Section 6 of the Standstill Agreement (as such Cross-Referenced Covenants were set forth in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Third Amendment and Waiver to the Post-Petition Credit Agreement) solely to consent to the following stock and asset sales and related transactions: (a) the sale for approximately EUR 15,000,000 in cash or such other consideration acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (i) by Deutsche Exide GmbH ("Deutsche Exide") to SAFT Participations S.A. of stock of Friemann & Wolf Batterietechnik GmbH (the "Friwo Sale"); (ii) by Electro Mercantil Industrial, S.L. of certain of 2 its assets to SAFT Batterias, SL; and (iii) by Centra S.A. of certain of its assets to SAFT Ferak (Czech Republic); (b) the sale by Sociedad Espanola Del Acumulador Tudor, S.A.("SEAT") to Metalurgica de Medina SA for approximately EUR 25,000,000 in cash or such other consideration acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion of (i) a smelter located in San Esteban de Gormaz (Soria), Spain; and (ii) a battery breaker in Oxivolt (BonmatiGerona), Spain; (c) the sale by SEAT to Metalurgica de Medina SA for approximately EUR 10,000,000 in cash or such other consideration acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion of real property in Cubas de la Sagra (Madrid), Spain; (d) the closures of the Sonular smelter in Azambuja, Portugal and the Cubas de la Sagra (Madrid, Spain) smelter; (e) a loan from EHE to Euro Exide Corporation Limited ("Euro Exide") in an amount not to exceed the Friwo Sale proceeds; (f) the sale by BIG Batteries Limited of the Cwmbran, Wales factory for approximately GBP 1 million; and (g) the sale of the receivables by Exide Automotive S.A., CMP Batterijen S.A. and Exide Technologies Nederland B.V. for participation in the European A/R Facility (as defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement). provided however, that the waiver with respect to the Friwo Sale shall not be effective if, on the closing date of such transaction, Deutsche Exide has any outstanding Foreign Intercompany Loans (as defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement) required to be repaid with the proceeds of such transaction; provided further, that the waivers with respect to (b) and (c) above shall not be effective if, on the closing dates of such transactions, the amount of Foreign Intercompany Loans required to be repaid by SEAT with the proceeds of such transactions exceeds $12.5 million in the aggregate; provided further, that the waivers with respect to (a), (b) and (c) shall not be effective if such transactions are consummated later than 60 days, 90 days and 120 days, respectively, after the Effective Date. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Steering Committee, may waive the requirements of these provisos. SECTION 3. Waiver and Consent to Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Effective as of the Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including but not limited to clause (b) below, to the extent that Euro Exide borrows amounts based on the inclusion in the Foreign Borrowing Base of the Net Cash Proceeds of the Foreign Asset Sales (each as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) contemplated in Section 2(a)(i) (and, upon receipt of the consent required by Section 8(c) of this Waiver and Consent, Sections 2(b) and 2(c)) of this Waiver and Consent (the amount so borrowed from time to time, the "Foreign Sales Proceeds"), the Required Standstill Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby waive the requirements of Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Intercreditor Agreement solely with respect to the satisfaction of the Disbursement Condition (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) such that, upon the Scheduled Termination Date (as defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement), to the 3 extent that the DIP Lender Claims (as defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement) are not satisfied from the proceeds of the Collateral (as defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement) the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) may deliver to the DIP Agent an amount (the "Euro Exide Eligible Escrow Account Amount") not to exceed the Foreign Sales Proceeds for application by the DIP Agent to the DIP Lender Claims, provided that, with respect to any Foreign Sales Proceeds so delivered, the Lenders shall have the rights set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement including, without limitation, Section 4.4 of the Intercreditor Agreement. The "Euro Exide Eligible Escrow Account Amount" as used herein shall mean, on any date of determination, the lesser of (i) the Foreign Sales Proceeds and (ii) (Term Loan Outstandings + Revolving Credit Outstandings) - (Domestic Availability + Foreign Availability) + Eligible Escrow Account Availability) (as each term is defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement as amended on the effective date of the Fifth Amendment and Waiver to the Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement and calculated, in the case of the Domestic Borrowing Base and the Foreign Borrowing Base, as of the date of the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate). For the avoidance of doubt, the Euro Exide Eligible Escrow Account Amount shall be zero if such calculation yields a negative number. (b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Post-Petition Credit Agreement, the waiver of the Disbursement Condition granted pursuant to clause (a) above shall terminate, upon the Scheduled Termination Date (as defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement) to the extent that the Euro Exide Eligible Escrow Account Amount is less than or equal to zero. (c) Effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Required Standstill Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby waive the requirements of Section 4.1(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement so as to permit Electro Mercantil Industrial, S.L. and Centra S.A. to apply the proceeds of the sales described in Section 2(a)(ii) and (iii) above towards the DIP Lender Claims as required by Section 4.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement immediately upon receipt. (d) Effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Post-Petition Administrative Agent hereby consents to the release by the Administrative Agent of the pledge over the shares in Friemann & Wolf Batterietechnik GmbH pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement. SECTION 4. Further Waivers. Upon written request from a Standstill Party, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Steering Committee, may waive the requirements of the Cross-Referenced Covenants incorporated into Section 6 of the Standstill Agreement in order to permit any transactions described in the "Proposed Fourth Amendment Issues" dated March 20, 2003, to the extent that such transaction is not specifically waived in Section 2 above. Any waiver granted pursuant to this Section 4 shall be provided to the Lenders. SECTION 5. Authorization for Lien Release. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to release any Lien covering any Property of EHE or any of its Subsidiaries that is the subject of a Disposition that is permitted by Section 2 of this Waiver and Consent. 4 SECTION 6. Release of Guarantee. The Obligations of Friemann & Wolf Batterietechnik GmbH under its Guarantee shall be released on the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the consummation of the sale contemplated under Section 2(a)(i) of this Waiver and Consent. SECTION 7. Conditions to Effectiveness.

(b) Waiver and Consent Fee. On the Effective Date, the Standstill Parties shall have paid to each Standstill Lender that has executed and delivered this Waiver and Consent prior to the close of business on April 10, 2003, a waiver and consent fee equal to such Standstill Lender's pro rata share of $200,000 based on such Standstill Lender's outstanding Loans as of the Effective Date. (c) Corporate and Other Proceedings. All corporate and other proceedings, and all documents, instruments and other legal matters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Waiver and Consent shall be satisfactory in all respects in form and substance to the Administrative Agent; provided however, that drafts of the resolutions of the shareholder authorizing the Friwo Sale by Deutsche Exide GmbH and any dividends or other transfers related to the proceeds thereof, shall be provided to the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable, and in any event, prior to the signing of such resolutions. (d) No Events of Default. After giving effect to this Waiver and Consent, no Standstill Event and no default under the Intercreditor Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, and the representations and warranties contained in the Standstill Agreement shall be correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the Effective Date. 5 (e) Payment of Costs, Fees and Expenses.

SECTION 8. Covenants. (a) EHE and its Subsidiaries shall procure that the amount of outstanding Foreign Intercompany Loans (as defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement) required to be prepaid under Section 4.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 2.9(h) of the Post-Petition Credit Agreement (i) shall not exceed $12.5 million, in the case of SEAT, with respect to the proceeds of the sales contemplated under Sections 2(b) and 2(c), and (ii) in the case of Deutsche Exide, with respect to the Friwo Sale, no such Foreign Intercompany Loans shall be outstanding; provided however, that the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Steering Committee, may waive this covenant. (b) EHE and its Subsidiaries shall procure that the proceeds from the stock and asset sales contemplated under Sections 2(b) and 2(c) above be deposited into an Escrow Account (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (or otherwise be deposited as directed by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Steering Committee) which shall be the subject of an assignment agreement or other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, necessary to evidence an effective security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent in such account. (c) The Foreign Borrowing Base Subsidiaries shall not request any borrowings or borrow any amounts under the Post-Petition Credit Agreement based on the proceeds from the sales described in Sections 2(b) and 2(c), unless the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Steering Committee, consents to such borrowings in writing. (d) Deutsche Exide shall deposit the proceeds of the Friwo Sale into the BHF Account, which account is pledged in favor of the DIP Lenders and the Lenders. Except upon written consent of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Steering Committee, none of Deutsche Exide nor any other Standstill Party shall transfer, direct transfer, withdraw or otherwise make payments in any manner from the proceeds of the Friwo Sale in the BHF Account except to transfer the proceeds of the Friwo Sale to the Escrow Account promptly upon the execution of such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. (e) The Escrow Agent agrees that immediately upon receipt of the Friwo Sale proceeds in the Escrow Account, it shall provide written acknowledgment to the Administrative Agent that it has received such proceeds and is holding them pursuant to the terms of the Intecreditor Agreement. 6 SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. To induce the Standstill Lenders parties hereto to enter into this Waiver and Consent, each of the Standstill Parties hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and all of the Standstill Lenders the following: (a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Standstill Party of this Waiver and Consent and the Loan Documents to which it is a party, as waived hereby, are within such Standstill Party's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not (i) contravene such Standstill Party's Constituent Documents, (ii) violate any law (including, without limitation, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award applicable to such Standstill Party, or (iii) conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any Contractual Obligation, including, without limitation, the bilateral loan documents, of EHE, EHA or any of their Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, no Standstill Party is in violation of any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or in breach of any such contract, loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other instrument, the violation or breach of which is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (b) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required to be obtained by the Standstill Parties in connection with the execution and delivery, or performance by any Standstill Party of any of its obligations under the Waiver and Consent, the Standstill Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified hereby. (c) The Waiver and Consent has been duly executed and delivered by each Standstill Party, and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Standstill Party, enforceable against such Standstill Party in accordance with its terms except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights or by equitable principles generally. (d) No Standstill Party has an existing claim against any Standstill Lender arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Loan Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement. (e) The security interest in the subaccount of the BHF Account which holds the proceeds from the Friwo Sale constitutes (and will at all times continue to constitute until released pursuant to the Security Documents under which it is pledged) a first ranking security interest in respect of the obligations owed to the DIP Lenders and the Lenders under the Post-Petition Credit Agreement and the Credit Agreement, respectively. (f) As of the Effective Date, EHE is not in breach of, or in default under, the DM Agreement, and no Foreign Subsidiary is in breach of, or in default under, any other Contractual Obligation, binding on or affecting any Foreign Subsidiary or any of their properties, where the consequence of such default is to confer rights upon any person against such Foreign Subsidiary which, if exercised, can be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 7 (g) The representations and warranties made by each of the Standstill Parties in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the effectiveness of this Waiver and Consent, as if made on and as of the date hereof.

SECTION 10. Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents. (a) On and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Standstill Agreement or Intercreditor Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof" or words of like import referring to the Standstill Agreement or Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, and each reference in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents to "the Standstill Agreement", "the Intercreditor Agreement", "thereunder", "thereof" or words of like import referring to the Standstill Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Standstill Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, as amended and otherwise modified hereby. (b) The Standstill Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, except to the extent of the waivers and other modifications specifically provided above, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Waiver and Consent shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Standstill Lender or any Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. (d) This Waiver and Consent is and shall be a Loan Document. SECTION 11. Affirmation of Loan Documents. Each Standstill Party, in its capacity as a Guarantor or otherwise, hereby consents to the modification of the Standstill Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement effected hereby and hereby acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Waiver and Consent shall not affect in any way its duties, Obligations and liabilities under the Credit Agreement, including under its Guarantee, the Standstill Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, all of which duties, Obligations and liabilities shall remain in full force and effect and each of which is hereby reaffirmed. SECTION 12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS WAIVER AND CONSENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED 8 BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SECTION 13. Waiver of Jury Trial.

Costs and Expenses. EHE hereby agrees to pay, and each of the other Foreign Subsidiary Guarantors guarantees payment (subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule 10.1 of the Credit Agreement) of, all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, and enforcement of this Waiver and Consent, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent's counsel (including local counsel in foreign jurisdictions) and financial advisor and the out-of-pocket expenses of the Steering Committee (in each case, whether incurred prior to or after the Effective Date).
