Delphi Corporation ("Delphi") and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates,

debtors and debtors-in-possession (collectively, the "Debtors"), hereby submit this motion (the

"Motion") under 11 U.S.C. § 363 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002 and 6004 for an order authorizing

and approving, but not directing, the entry by Delphi Automotive Systems LLC ("DAS LLC")

into that certain Restructuring and Exchange Agreement (the "Restructuring and Exchange

Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's

ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc. ("EnerDel"), an existing joint venture between DAS LLC

and Ener1. In support of the Motion, the Debtors respectfully represent as follows:

Background

A. The Chapter 11 Filings

1. On October 8 and 14, 2005, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions in this

Court for reorganization relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C.

§§ 101-1330, as then amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"). The Debtors continue to operate their

businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession under Bankruptcy Code sections

1107(a) and 1108. This Court has ordered joint administration of these cases.

2. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in these cases. On October 17,

2005, the Office of the United States Trustee (the "U.S. Trustee") appointed an official

committee of unsecured creditors. On April 28, 2006, the U.S. Trustee appointed an official

committee of equity holders (together with the official committee of unsecured creditors, the

"Statutory Committees").

3. On September 6, 2007, the Debtors filed the Joint Plan Of Reorganization

Of Delphi Corporation And Certain Affiliates, Debtors And Debtors-In Possession (Docket No.

9263) and the Disclosure Statement With Respect To Joint Plan Of Reorganization Of Delphi

Page 3: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

3

Corporation And Certain Affiliates, Debtors And Debtors-In Possession (Docket No. 9264).

Subsequently, on December 10, 2007, the Debtors filed the First Amended Joint Plan Of

Reorganization Of Delphi Corporation And Certain Affiliates, Debtors And Debtors-In-

Possession (Docket No. 11386) (the "Plan") and the First Amended Disclosure Statement with

respect to the Plan (Docket No. 11388) (the "Disclosure Statement"). The Court entered an order

approving the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement and granting the related solicitation

procedures motion on December 10, 2007 (Docket No. 11389). On January 25, 2008, the Court

entered an order confirming the Plan (as modified) (Docket No. 12359) (the "Confirmation

Order"), which became a final order on February 4, 2008.

4. On April 4, 2008, the Debtors announced that although they had met the

conditions required to substantially consummate the Plan, including obtaining $6.1 billion of exit

financing, Delphi's Plan Investors (as defined in the Plan) refused to participate in a closing that

was commenced but not completed and refused to fund their Investment Agreement (as defined

in the Plan) with Delphi. On May 16, 2008, Delphi filed complaints for damages and specific

performance against the Plan Investors and related parties who refused to honor their equity

financing commitments and refused to participate in the closing that would have led to Delphi's

successful emergence from chapter 11. The Debtors nevertheless continue to work with their

stakeholders to achieve their goal of emerging from chapter 11 as soon as practicable.

5. This Court has jurisdiction over this motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157

and 1334. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. This matter is a core

proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2).

6. The statutory predicates for the relief requested herein are section 363 of

the Bankruptcy Code and rules 2002 and 6004 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure

(the "Bankruptcy Rules").

B. Current Business Operations Of The Debtors

7. Delphi and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the "Company") as

of December 31, 2007 had global net sales of $22.3 billion and global assets of approximately

$13.7 billion.1 At the time of its chapter 11 filing, Delphi ranked as the fifth largest public

company business reorganization in terms of revenues and the thirteenth largest public company

business reorganization in terms of assets. Delphi's non-U.S. subsidiaries are not chapter 11

debtors and have continued their business operations without supervision from the Court.2

8. The Company is a leading global technology innovator with significant

engineering resources and technical competencies in a variety of disciplines, and is one of the

largest global suppliers of vehicle electronics, transportation components, integrated systems and

modules, and other electronic technology. The Company supplies products to nearly every

major global automotive original equipment manufacturer ("OEM").

9. Delphi was incorporated in Delaware in 1998 as a wholly owned

subsidiary of General Motors Corporation ("GM"). Prior to January 1, 1999, GM conducted the

Company's business through various divisions and subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 1999, the

1 The aggregated financial data used herein generally consists of consolidated information from Delphi and

its worldwide subsidiaries and affiliates as disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K filed on February 19, 2008.

2 On March 20, 2007, Delphi Automotive Systems Espana S.L. ("DASE"), whose sole operation is a non-core automotive component plant in Cadiz, Spain, filed a "Concurso" application for a Spanish insolvency proceeding, which was approved by the Spanish court on April 13, 2007. On July 4, 2007, DASE, its Concurso receivers, and the Cadiz workers councils and unions reached a settlement on a social plan, the funding of which was approved by this Court on July 19, 2007. The Spanish court approved the social plan on July 31, 2007. The Concurso proceeding is consistent with Delphi's transformation plan to optimize its manufacturing footprint and to lower its overall cost structure.

Page 5: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

5

assets and liabilities of these divisions and subsidiaries were transferred to the Company in

accordance with the terms of a Master Separation Agreement between Delphi and GM. In

connection with these transactions, Delphi accelerated its evolution from a North American-

based, captive automotive supplier to a global supplier of components, integrated systems, and

modules for a wide range of customers and applications. Although GM is still the Company's

single largest customer, today more than half of Delphi's revenue is generated from non-GM

sources.

C. Events Leading To The Chapter 11 Filing

10. In the first two years following Delphi's separation from GM, the

Company generated approximately $2 billion in net income. Every year thereafter, however,

with the exception of 2002, the Company has suffered losses. In calendar year 2004, the

Company reported a net loss of approximately $4.8 billion on $28.6 billion in net sales.3

Reflective of a continued downturn in the marketplace, in 2005 Delphi incurred net losses of

approximately $2.4 billion on net sales of $26.9 billion. Moreover, in 2006 the Debtors incurred

a net loss of $5.5 billion, $3.0 billion of which comprised charges related to the U.S. employee

special attrition programs, and in 2007, the Debtors incurred a net loss of $3.1 billion.

11. The Debtors believe that the Company's financial performance

deteriorated because of (i) increasingly unsustainable U.S. legacy liabilities and operational

restrictions preventing the Debtors from exiting non-profitable, non-core operations, all of which

had the effect of creating largely fixed labor costs, (ii) a competitive U.S. vehicle production

environment for domestic OEMs resulting in the reduced number of motor vehicles that GM

3 Reported net losses in calendar year 2004 reflect a $4.1 billion tax charge, primarily related to the recording

of a valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2004. The Company's net operating loss in calendar year 2004 was $482 million.

Page 6: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

6

produces annually in the United States and related pricing pressures, and (iii) increasing

commodity prices.

12. In light of these factors, the Company determined that it would be

imprudent and irresponsible to defer addressing and resolving its U.S. legacy liabilities, product

portfolio, operational issues, and forward-looking revenue requirements. Because discussions

with its major stakeholders had not progressed sufficiently by the end of the third quarter of 2005,

the Company commenced these chapter 11 cases for its U.S. businesses to complete its

transformation plan and preserve value for its stakeholders.

D. The Debtors' Transformation Plan

13. On March 31, 2006, the Company outlined the key tenets of a

transformation plan that it believed would enable it to return to stable, profitable business

operations. The Debtors stated that they needed to focus on five key areas: first, modifying the

Company's labor agreements to create a competitive arena in which to conduct business; second,

concluding their negotiations with GM to finalize GM's financial support for the Debtors' legacy

and labor costs and to ascertain GM's business commitment to the Company; third, streamlining

their product portfolio to capitalize on their world-class technology and market strengths and

make the necessary manufacturing alignment with their new focus; fourth, transforming their

salaried workforce to ensure that the Company's organizational and cost structure is competitive

and aligned with its product portfolio and manufacturing footprint; and fifth, devising a workable

solution to their current pension situation.

E. Plan Confirmation And Postconfirmation Matters

14. The confirmed Plan is based upon a series of global settlements and

compromises that involve nearly every major constituency in the Debtors' reorganization cases.

The Global Settlement Agreement and the Master Restructuring Agreement provide for a

Page 7: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

7

comprehensive settlement with GM, and both agreements were approved by this Court in the

Confirmation Order. After the Plan was confirmed, the Debtors focused their efforts on

satisfying the conditions for the Plan to become effective. The Debtors satisfied those conditions

and on April 4, 2008 began a formal closing process attended by representatives of GM, the exit

lenders, and the Statutory Committees. The Plan Investors, however, refused to participate in the

closing or fund their obligations under the Investment Agreement. Instead, the Plan Investors

delivered written notices purporting to terminate the Investment Agreement based on both

alleged breaches by the Debtors and the failure of the Plan's effective date to occur by April 4,

2008. On May 16, 2008, Delphi filed complaints for damages and specific performance against

the Plan Investors and related parties who refused to honor their equity financing commitments

and refused to participate in the closing that would have led to Delphi's successful emergence

from chapter 11. The Debtors nevertheless are working with their stakeholders to evaluate their

options to move forward with emerging from chapter 11 as soon as reasonably practicable.

15. Upon the conclusion of the reorganization process, the Debtors expect to

emerge as a stronger, more financially sound business with viable U.S. operations that are well-

positioned to advance global enterprise objectives. In the meantime, Delphi will marshal all of

its resources to continue to deliver high-quality products to its customers globally. Additionally,

the Company will preserve and continue the strategic growth of its non-U.S. operations and

maintain its prominence as the world's premier auto supplier.

F. Background To Restructuring And Exchange Agreement

16. In 2004, DAS LLC and Ener1 entered into an agreement4 (the "Formation

Agreement") pursuant to which the parties formed a joint venture, EnerDel, to design and

4 The Formation, Subscription, And Stockholders' Agreement Of EnerDel, Inc., dated as of October 20, 2004

and amended as of December 23, 2004.

8

manufacture lithium-ion battery technologies and products. The goal of the joint venture was to

create an alternative energy source and sell and distribute its products globally. EnerDel

primarily focuses its lithium-ion batteries business in the automotive, power tool, military,

consumer appliance, and personal mobility markets. Ener1 contributed capital and intellectual

property to the joint venture and in exchange was granted 80.5% of EnerDel's common stock.

DAS LLC contributed proportionally a smaller amount of capital and intellectual property to the

joint venture and in exchange was granted 19.5% of EnerDel's common stock (the "Common

Stock"). In addition to the Common Stock, DAS LLC was also granted one of six seats on the

EnerDel board of directors,5 8,000 shares of EnerDel preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"), and

warrants to acquire 750,000 shares of Ener1 common stock with a strike price of $7.00 per share

and an expiration date in October 20, 2011 (the "Original Warrants").

17. The low-cost, high-performance lithium-ion batteries that EnerDel has

been developing are designed for plug-in hybrid and extended-range electric vehicles. This

niche is becoming increasingly competitive. Nevertheless, EnerDel believes that it has a feasible

business plan for the development of the lithium-ion batteries, and the global market for such

alternate fuel sources is in the billions of dollars.

Relief Requested

18. By this Motion, the Debtors seek entry of an order under section 363 of

the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 6004 (a) authorizing and approving, but

not directing, DAS LLC's entry into and performance under the Restructuring and Exchange

5 The Bylaws of EnerDel generally require an affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors

to approve matters. Because DAS LLC holds only one of six board seats, its relative voting power on the board is generally not sufficient to alter the decisions made by EnerDel's board.

Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A,6 (b) finding that the transactions

contemplated by the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement and the related agreements,

documents, and instruments contemplated by the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement were

negotiated and documented in good faith and from arm's length bargaining positions, (c) finding

that the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement and the related

agreements, documents, and instruments contemplated by the Restructuring and Exchange

Agreement satisfy the requirements of section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (d) finding that DAS

LLC's execution of and performance under the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement is in the

best interests of DAS LLC, its estate, its creditors, and its stakeholders, (e) finding that the terms

and conditions of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement are fair and reasonable and

approving the terms and conditions of such agreement, thereby making such terms and

conditions valid, binding, and enforceable, (f) finding that the consideration DAS LLC receives

pursuant to this transaction is fair and at least reasonably equivalent value for its Common Stock

and Preferred Stock in EnerDel, and (g) authorizing DAS LLC to transfer, upon consummation

of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement, its Common Stock and Preferred Stock to Ener1

free and clear of any and all Liens (as defined in the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement)7

as permitted under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (based upon, inter alia, compliance with

section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code).

6 Copies of the exhibits to the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement are available upon request to parties-

in-interest who execute a confidentiality agreement acceptable to the Debtors and who show that they would be affected by the relief requested in this Motion.

7 The term "Liens" is defined in section 1.10 of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement as "claims (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code), pledges, options, charges, hypothecations, easement, security interest, right-of-way, encroachment, mortgage, deed of trust, imperfection of title, prior assignment or other encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever."

10

Basis For Relief

19. DAS LLC has determined in its business judgment that it is in its best

interests to restructure its ownership interest in EnerDel to a more liquid asset. Specifically, the

Restructuring and Exchange Agreement provides that DAS LLC would transfer its 19.5%

Common Stock interest in EnerDel (valued at approximately $18.0 million) and its EnerDel

Preferred Stock (valued at approximately $9.6 million) to its joint venture partner, Ener1, in

exchange for Ener1 common stock, warrants in Ener1 with a lower strike price, and cash, all of

which DAS LLC values at approximately $27.6 million.8 Ener1 shares were recently approved

for listing on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"), and as of July 10, 2008 had a closing

price of $6.53. Ener1 also owns two other subsidiaries that engage in the development and

marketing of other alternative energy sources, such as fuel cells and nanotechnology-related

manufacturing processes and materials for batteries. DAS LLC believes that the proposed

transaction to exchange its interest in EnerDel (which is not traded on an open market and is not

similarly diversified) for assets that can be sold more readily is in the best interests of its estate.9

8 On June 30, 2008, DAS LLC reviewed a fairness opinion provided by an independent investment bank

engaged by EnerDel which supports, among other things, the conclusion that the consideration DAS LLC would receive from Ener1 in exchange for its ownership in EnerDel is fair and reasonable from a financial point of view.

9 DAS LLC believes that consummating the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement is in the best interests of its estates, its creditors, and its other stakeholders. However, to the extent that before the hearing on this Motion a third party bidder submits a more valuable offer (in DAS LLC's reasonable discretion) for DAS LLC's ownership interest in EnerDel, DAS LLC would consider such an offer in the exercise of its fiduciary duty and reserves the right to take appropriate actions under the circumstances to maximize value for its estate, its creditors, and its other stakeholders.

Page 11: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

11

G. Material Terms Of The Restructuring Agreement10

20. Pursuant to the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement, DAS LLC would

exchange its Common Stock, its Preferred Stock, and its seat on the Board of Directors of

EnerDel (the "Exchange Consideration") for the following:

(a) 2.86 million shares of the common stock in Ener1 valued at approximately $19.5 million;

(b) $8 million cash; and

(c) revised warrants to acquire Ener1 common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share.11

21. In addition, the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement provides that the

Formation Agreement will terminate as part of this transaction. Nonetheless, the non-compete

provision and intellectual property licenses contributed under the Formation Agreement will

remain in effect as agreed to by the parties pursuant to the Formation Agreement.

22. Covenant Not To Compete. The non-compete provision in the Formation

Agreement, which will remain in effect with respect to EnerDel's current scope of business

operations until October 20, 2010, provides DAS LLC and Ener1 limited options to engage in

operations that compete with EnerDel. For instance, DAS LLC may acquire a company if the

revenues that the company earns from business operations that compete with EnerDel do not

exceed 15% of the company's total revenues, or DAS LLC may purchase up to 5% of publicly

traded stock of an entity that engages in a business that competes with EnerDel. In addition,

10 In the event of any discrepancy between the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement and this summary, the

provisions of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement control.

11 In valuing the warrants under the Black-Scholes method, lowering the strike price of the warrants from $7.00 to $5.25 increases the aggregate differential value of the revised warrants to DAS LLC by approximately $100,000. Although the original warrants have a strike price higher than Ener1's current stock price, the original warrants still have value, in part, because of the underlying stock's volatility and the duration of the warrants.

Page 12: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

12

DAS LLC may continue designing and assembling lithium-based batteries if DAS LLC includes

EnerDel in the bidding process to supply the products. Because DAS LLC will continue to

benefit from any expansion in EnerDel's business through its holding of common stock and

warrants in its parent Ener1, DAS LLC believes that continuation of the existing non-compete

provision is acceptable under the circumstances.

23. Licenses And Intellectual Property. As set forth above, DAS LLC

contributed certain intellectual property in EnerDel upon the formation of the joint venture.

Pursuant to the Formation Agreement, EnerDel licensed the contributed intellectual property

back to DAS LLC as a paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable worldwide exclusive

license. The Restructuring and Exchange Agreement provides that EnerDel would continue to

license intellectual property to DAS LLC for the use, manufacture, and sale of products other

than lithium batteries. In addition, the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement provides that

DAS LLC will not make any claim for EnerDel's confidential company information or

intellectual property related to the patents that DAS LLC did not contribute under the Formation

Agreement.

24. Termination. The Restructuring and Exchange Agreement could be

terminated prior to closing under the following circumstances: (i) mutual agreement by the

parties, (ii) by either party, provided that the terminating party is not in material breach of its

obligations under the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement, if the closing does not occur on or

before five Business Days following the date an order approving the Motion is no longer subject

to a stay or injunction, (iii) by either party, if the other party materially breached its

representations and warranties and such breach is not cured within 10 business days of written

Page 13: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

13

notice of such breaches, and (iv) by either party, if this Court has not entered an order approving

the Motion on or before September 12, 2008.

25. DAS LLC has sound business justifications for restructuring DAS LLC's

ownership interest in EnerDel as contemplated by the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement.

Among other things, consummation of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement makes DAS

LLC's investment more liquid. First, because Ener1's common stock is listed on AMEX, the

Ener1 shares can be sold or transferred more readily than DAS LLC's existing equity interests in

EnerDel. DAS LLC would have the option to retain or sell its interest in Ener1 upon completion

of the terms of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement, subject to compliance with

applicable securities laws.12 Second, DAS LLC would benefit by receiving the consideration of

$8 million in cash. Third, DAS LLC would have warrants to acquire Ener1 common stock at an

exercise price of $5.25 per share rather than $7.00, which strike price is at a discount to the

current trading price of the stock.

26. As set forth above, the aggregate value of the consideration that DAS LLC

would receive through the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement is fair and reasonable and is a

better investment for DAS LLC. Because DAS LLC currently has a minority position on

EnerDel's board of directors with limited voting rights, DAS LLC believes that exchanging that

board seat as partial consideration for cash and an ownership stake in Ener1 is justified.

Moreover, through its ownership of Ener1 common stock, DAS LLC would retain an indirect

interest in EnerDel, which will provide DAS LLC the opportunity to profit should the EnerDel

venture succeed. Moreover, Ener1's other holdings should diversify the risk of owning equity in

12 The common stock in Ener1 that DAS LLC would receive would be subject to Rule 144A of the Securities

Act of 1933 (17 C.F.R. § 230.114A), thereby restricting public sales of the common stock for six months after the transaction closes.

Page 14: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

14

EnerDel alone. Accordingly, in its business judgment, DAS LLC has determined that it is in the

best interest of its estate, its creditors, and its other stakeholders to enter into and perform under

the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement.

28. The Second Circuit has held that, although the bankruptcy court sits as an

"overseer of the wisdom with which the bankruptcy estate's property is being managed by the . . .

debtor-in-possession," it must nevertheless resist becoming "arbiter of disputes between creditors

and the estate." Orion Pictures Corp. v. Showtime Network, Inc. (In re Orion Pictures Corp.), 4

F.3d 1095, 1098-99 (2d Cir. 1993). The Court's consideration of a debtor's section 363(b)

motion is a summary proceeding, intended merely as a means to "efficiently review the . . .

debtor's decision[s] . . . in the course of the swift administration of the bankruptcy estate. It is

not the time or place for prolonged discovery or a lengthy trial with disputed issues." Id. at 1098-

99.

29. Once a debtor articulates a valid business justification, a presumption

arises that "in making a business decision the directors of a corporation acted on an informed

Page 15: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

15

basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action was in the best interests of the

company." Official Comm. of Subordinated Bondholders v. Integrated Resources, Inc. (In re

Integrated Resources, Inc.), 147 B.R. 650, 656 (S.D.N.Y. 1992). Thereafter,"[p]arties opposing

the proposed exercise of a debtor's business judgment have the burden of rebutting the

presumption of validity." Id. To satisfy its burden, it is not enough for an objector simply to

raise and argue an objection. Rather, an objector "is required to produce some evidence

respecting its objections." Lionel, 722 F.2d at 1071. As a rule, the debtor's business judgment

"should be approved by the court unless it is shown to be 'so manifestly unreasonable that it

could not be based upon sound business judgment, but only on bad faith, or whim or caprice.'" In

re Aerovox, Inc., 269 B.R. 74, 81 (Bankr. D. Del. 2001) (quoting In re Interco, Inc., 128 B.R.

229, 234 (Bankr. E.D. Mo. 1991)).

30. DAS LLC submits that the decision to enter into the Restructuring and

Exchange Agreement and to complete this proposed transaction represents a proper exercise of

DAS LLC's business judgment. DAS LLC also submits that the terms and conditions of the

Restructuring Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the company negotiated the terms with

Ener1 in good faith and at arm's length. Indeed, DAS LLC believes that the Exchange

Consideration constitutes fair and at least reasonably equivalent value for its Common Stock and

Preferred Stock. Moreover, the structure of the transaction will increase the liquidity of DAS

LLC's investment. Because of the contemplated benefits, this Court should approve the relief

requested herein.

I. Transfer Of Common Stock And Preferred Stock Free And Clear Of Liens

31. Under section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor-in-possession may

transfer property free and clear of any lien, claim, or interest in such property if, among other

things, at least one of the five factors under section 363(f)(5) is satisfied. See, 11 U.S.C. § 363(f).

Page 16: Hearing Date and Time: July 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m ... · Agreement") with Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") for the restructuring and exchange of DAS LLC's ownership interests in EnerDel, Inc

16

Section 363(f) enables DAS LLC to transfer the Common Stock and Preferred Stock free and

clear of Liens. DAS LLC believes that it satisfies at least one of the five conditions of 11 U.S.C.

§ 363(f) for each Lien in the Shares, if any, and DAS LLC submits that any such Lien in the

Shares will be adequately protected by attachment to the Exchange Consideration, subject to any

claims and defenses DAS LLC may possess with respect thereto. Accordingly, DAS LLC

requests that the Common Stock and Preferred Stock be transferred to Ener1 free and clear of all

Liens.

Ener1 is duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation and licensed or qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the properties owned or leased by Ener1 or used in connection with its business requires Ener1 to be so licensed or qualified, other than such failures to be so licensed or qualified which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3. Capitalization. The number of authorized and outstanding shares of common

No class of capital stock of Ener1 is entitled to preemptive rights. Except for the Warrants and, except as described in the SEC Reports (as defined below) filed by Ener1 prior to the date hereof, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, shares of any capital stock of Ener1, or contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which Ener1 is or may become bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock or options, warrants or rights to purchase any shares of its capital stock. Ener1 has not offered or sold any shares of capital stock in a manner that would require the offer or sale to Delphi of the Ener1 Stock Consideration to be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws.

4.4. SEC Reports, Absence of Changes, etc. Ener1 has filed all proxy statements,

periodic, current and other reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) since December 31, 2006 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each SEC Report was, at the time it was filed, in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of its form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since December 31, 2007, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there has been no change in the condition of Ener1, whether as a result of any change as to accounts receivable or other assets, any loss of competitive position, any natural disaster, accident, strike, sabotage or confiscation of property, or any other event of condition directly affecting or relating to Ener1 or its business, whether or not related to any of the foregoing, except for such changes as have not and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and to Ener1’s knowledge no such changes are contemplated or pending.

4.5. Financial Statements. The financial statements of Ener1 contained in the SEC

Reports present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ener1 and the results of its operations and cash flows as of the respective dates and periods thereof in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (except that, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements such statements are subject to normal, recurring adjustments which would be made in the course of an audit and which would not be material).

4.6. Disclosure. None of the information contained in the representations and

warranties of Ener1 set forth in this Agreement, including any Exhibits and

Delphi shall file with the Bankruptcy Court a motion, pursuant to, among other things, Sections 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, seeking approval of the transactions contemplated hereby. Delphi and Ener1 shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate, assist and consult with each other to (a) secure the entry of the Approval Order as soon as reasonably practicable, and (b) consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that any orders of the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement shall be appealed by any Person (or a petition for certiorari or motion for reconsideration, amendment, clarification, modification, vacation, stay, rehearing or reargument shall be filed with respect to any such order), Delphi shall take such steps as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to diligently defend against such appeal, petition or motion and Delphi shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain an expedited resolution of any such appeal, petition or motion.

5.2. Other Actions Pending the Closing. Delphi shall not (i) sell, lend or transfer

any right, title or interest in or to any of the Shares, (ii) subject any of the Shares to any Lien, or (iii) take any action (or fail to take any action) that would cause the representations and warranties made by Delphi in this Agreement not to be true and correct in any material respect as of the Closing Date.

5.3. Supplemental Disclosure. Each party to this Agreement covenants that until

the Closing, it shall promptly advise the other party with respect to any matter arising or discovered that, if existing or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in a schedule to this Agreement by such party, or that constitutes, or could constitute, a breach or prospective breach, of this Agreement by such party; provided, however, that no such disclosure shall cure any breach or potential breach of this Agreement.

5.4. Intellectual Property. With the exception of licenses set forth in paragraph 5.5

below, Delphi shall not claim any right, license or interest in or to any of the Company’s Confidential Information or intellectual property, including, without limitation, any trademarks, copyrights, patents, patent applications, trade secrets, know-how, or the use of the Company’s name (i.e., “EnerDel”).

existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida. Ener1 is duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation and licensed or qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the properties owned or leased by Ener1 or used in connection with its business requires Ener1 to be so licensed or qualified, other than such failures to be so licensed or qualified which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3. Capitalization. The number of authorized and outstanding shares of common

Upon issuance of the Ener1 Stock Consideration, and receipt of the consideration therefore in accordance with the terms hereof, the Ener1 Stock Consideration will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. No class of capital stock of Ener1 is entitled to preemptive rights. Except for the Warrants and, except as described in the SEC Reports (as defined below) filed by Ener1 prior to the date hereof, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, shares of any capital stock of Ener1, or contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which Ener1 is or may become bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock or options, warrants or rights to purchase any shares of its capital stock. Ener1 has not offered or sold any shares of capital stock in a manner that would require the offer or sale to Delphi of the Ener1 Stock Consideration to be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws.

4.4. SEC Reports, Absence of Changes, etc. Ener1 has filed all proxy statements,

periodic, current and other reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) since December 31, 2006 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each SEC Report was, at the time it was filed, in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of its form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since December 31, 2007, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there has been no change in the condition of Ener1, whether as a result of any change as to accounts receivable or other assets, any loss of competitive position, any natural disaster, accident, strike, sabotage or confiscation of property, or any other event of condition directly affecting or relating to Ener1 or its business, whether or not related to any of the foregoing, except for such changes as have not and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and to Ener1’s knowledge no such changes are contemplated or pending.

Reports present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ener1 and the results of its operations and cash flows as of the respective dates and periods thereof in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (except that, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements such statements are subject to normal, recurring adjustments which would be made in the course of an audit and which would not be material).

warranties of Ener1 set forth in this Agreement, including any Exhibits and
