None of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, any of their Affiliates, or any Person acting on their behalf shall, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security or solicit any offers to buy any security, which will be integrated with the sale of the Shares in a manner which would require the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated with the offering of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market.
 
4.9 Issuance Limitations. During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the ninetieth (90th) following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, or agree or obligate itself to issue, sell or exchange or reserve, agree to or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, (1) any shares of Common Stock, (2) any other equity security of the Company, including without limitation shares of preferred stock, (3) any other security of the Company which by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Company, or (4) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any such security described in the foregoing clauses (1) through (3); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Excluded Security.
 
4.10 Information Statement. The Company will file an Information Statement with the Commission within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date.
 
4.11 Indemnification of Investors. The Company will indemnify and hold each Investor and its directors, managers, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any violation of a Governmental Requirement applicable to the Company, or (c) any action instituted against an Investor, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Investor, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Investor’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Investor may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time following such Investor Party’s written request that it do so, to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Investor Party’s wrongful actions or omissions, or gross negligence or to such Investor Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Investor in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

6. MISCELLANEOUS.
 
6.1 Survival; Severability. The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the parties herein and in the other Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing notwithstanding any due diligence investigation made by or on behalf of the party seeking to rely thereon. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal, unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change the economic benefits of this Agreement to the parties.
 
6.2 Successors and Assigns, Assignment. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. An Investor may assign its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with any private sale or transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, as long as, as a condition precedent to such transfer, the transferee executes an acknowledgment agreeing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement, in which case the term “Investor” shall be deemed to refer to such transferee as though such transferee were an original signatory hereto. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement except in connection with the merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.
 
6.3 No Reliance. Each party acknowledges that (i) it has such knowledge in business and financial matters as to be fully capable of evaluating this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) it is not relying on any advice or representation of any other party in connection with entering into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or such transactions (other than the representations made in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), (iii) it has not received from any other party any assurance or guarantee as to the merits (whether legal, regulatory, tax, financial or otherwise) of entering into this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and (iv) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and has entered into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents based on its own independent judgment and, if applicable, on the advice of such advisors, and not on any view (whether written or oral) expressed by any other party.
 
6.4 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of the other Investors hereunder, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor hereunder. The Company acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or a “group” as described in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Investor has been represented by its own separate counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation rights arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, individually, and shall not be required to join any other Investor as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
 
6.5 Injunctive Relief. The Company acknowledges and agrees that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Investor and that the remedy or remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all other available remedies, such Investor shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate and specific performance of such obligations without the necessity of showing economic loss or the posting of any bond.
 
6.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City and County of New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or any other Transaction Document or in connection herewith or therewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
 
(b) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that any dispute or controversy that may arise under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) each such party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) each such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (iv) each such party has been induced to enter into this agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 6.6(b).
 
6.7 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. An executed counterpart of this Agreement may be delivered by verifiable facsimile transmission or by email in a suitable electronic format.
 
6.8 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
 
6.9 Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or the Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows:

EXHIBIT C
 
Exhibit C to
Securities Purchase Agreement
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
 
This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 19, 2007, is by and between Ener1, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and each of the entities whose names appear on the signature pages hereof. Such entities are each referred to herein as an “Investor” and, collectively, as the “Investors”.
 
The Company has agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), to issue and sell to each Investor named therein (A) shares (collectively, the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (B) a Warrant in the form attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable into shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) in accordance with their terms.
 
In order to induce each Investor to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and under applicable state securities laws.
 
The Company and each Investor hereby agree as follows:
 
     
1.
  DEFINITIONS.
 
   
 
  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings specified:
Commission Rules” means (i) the Securities Act, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act and (iii) any publicly-available written or oral guidance, interpretations, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff.
 
Effective Date” means the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission.
 
Excluded Shares” has the meaning specified in Section 2(a) of this Agreement.
 
Filing Deadline” means the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day following the Closing Date.
 
Holder” means any person owning or having the right to acquire, through exercise of the Warrants or otherwise, Registrable Securities, including initially each Investor and thereafter any permitted assignee thereof.
 
Registrable Securities” means, at any time, the Shares, the Warrant Shares (assuming full exercise of all Warrants that remain unexpired at such time) and any other shares of Common Stock (or other securities) issued or issuable pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, and any shares of capital stock issued or issuable from time to time (with any adjustments) in replacement of, in exchange for or otherwise in respect of the Shares or the Warrant Shares; provided, however, that any Shares or Warrant Shares that are sold to the public pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or Rule 144 shall thereafter not constitute Registrable Securities.
 
Registration Deadline” means the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Commission reviews and has written comments to the filed Registration Statement that would require the filing of a pre-effective amendment thereto with the Commission, “Registration Deadline” shall mean the one hundred thirty fifth (135th) calendar day following the Closing Date.
 
Registration Period” has the meaning specified in Section 2(b) of this Agreement.
 
Registration Statement” means a registration statement or statements prepared in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (“Rule 415”) or any successor rule providing for the offering of securities on a continuous or delayed basis.
 
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
All definitions contained in this Agreement are equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import contained in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.
 
2. REGISTRATION.
 
(a) Filing of Registration Statement. On or before the Filing Deadline, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement as a “shelf” registration statement under Rule 415 covering all or such portion of the Registrable Securities as permitted by Commission Rules (other than any Registrable Securities as to which a Holder notifies the Company should not be included in such Registration Statement). Such Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 unless the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such Registration Statement shall be on such other form as is then available to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Commission Rule sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on such Registration Statement, and unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement shall be reduced, such reduction to be applied, first, to Warrant Shares (on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Holders) and, second, to the Shares (on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by such Holders). The Warrant Shares and Shares that are excluded from such Registration Statement as a result of any such reduction are referred to herein as the “Excluded Shares”.
 
(b) Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in no event later than the Registration Deadline. The Company shall respond promptly to any and all comments made by the staff of the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement, and shall submit to the Commission, within two (2) Business Days after the Company learns that no review of such Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the Commission or that the staff of the Commission has no further comments on such 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 two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. By 9:30 a.m. (eastern time) on the Business Day following the Effective Date, the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Company will maintain the effectiveness of each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities eligible for resale thereunder have been publicly sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities remaining to be sold under such Registration Statement (in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company) may be immediately sold to the public under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (“Rule 144(k)”) or any successor provision (the period beginning on the Registration Deadline and ending on the earliest to occur of clause (i) or (ii) above being referred to herein as the “Registration Period”) or until such later date as the Company shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
 
(c) Registration Default. Other than with respect to Excluded Securities, if any, or during an Allowed Delay (as defined below), if (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or before the Filing Deadline or declared effective by the Commission on or before the Registration Deadline, (ii) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, sales of Registrable Securities (other than such Registrable Securities as are then freely saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k)) cannot be made by a Holder under a Registration Statement for any reason not within the exclusive control of such Holder or (iii) an amendment or supplement to a Registration Statement, or a new registration statement, required to be filed pursuant to the terms of Section 3(j), is not filed on or before the date required thereby (each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to herein as a “Registration Default”), the Company shall, no later than two (2) Business Days following the last day of the month in which such Registration Default occurs, make a cash payment (pro rated for a partial month) to each Holder equal to one half percent (0.5%) of the Purchase Price paid by such Holder (such amount, the “Registration Default Payment Amount”). In addition to the foregoing payment, the Company shall, for each calendar month in which a Registration Default occurred and/or existed, make an additional cash payment to each Holder equal to the Registration Default Payment Amount (pro rated for a partial month), and such payment shall be due no later than two (2) Business Days following the last day of such calendar month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total amount of liquidated damages payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall be capped at an aggregate amount of six percent (6%) of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by all Holders. Any such payment shall be in addition to any other remedies available to each Holder at law or in equity, whether pursuant to the terms hereof, under any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise.
 
(d) Allowed Delay. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company may suspend the use of a Registration Statement for resales of Registrable Securities for an aggregate of up to ninety (90) calendar days during any 12 month period without such suspension constituting a Registration Default (an “Allowed Delay”).
 
(e) Allocation of Registered Shares. The initial number of Shares and Warrant Shares included in any Registration Statement and each increase in the number thereof included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by or issuable to such Holder as compared to the number of Registrable Securities then held by or issuable to all Holders (in each case, without regard to any limitation or restriction on (x) the issuance of such Registrable Securities or (y) the exercise of any Warrants). In the event that a Holder sells or otherwise transfers any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated the portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and allocable to such Holder.
 
(f) Registration of Other Securities. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall refrain from filing any registration statement (other than (i) a Registration Statement filed hereunder or that otherwise includes the Registrable Securities, (ii) a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to stock option plans and agreements and stock plans currently in effect or duly adopted by the Board of Directors and (iii) a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to a merger or acquisition involving the issuance of Common Stock). In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement filed by the Company on behalf of the Holders pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
 
In addition to performing its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, those pursuant to Section 2 above, the Company shall, with respect to each Registration Statement:
 
(a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or to maintain the effectiveness of such 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;
 
(b) as soon as practicable following the Closing, take all steps necessary and otherwise use its best efforts to secure the listing or quotation on the Principal Market of all Registrable Securities and, at any Holder’s request, provide such Holder with reasonable evidence thereof;
 
(c) so long as a Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Registrable Securities owned by a Holder, furnish to such Holder such number of copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities;
 
(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as shall be reasonably requested from time to time by a Holder, and do any and all other acts or things which may reasonably be necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided that the Company 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;
 
(e) notify each Holder immediately after becoming aware of the occurrence of any event (but shall not, without the prior written consent of such Holder, disclose to such Holder any facts or circumstances constituting material non-public information) as a result of which the prospectus included in such 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and as promptly as practicable prepare and file with the Commission and furnish to each Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or an amendment to 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;
 
(f) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and, if such an order is issued, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible time and to notify each Holder in writing of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof;
 
(g) furnish to each Holder, on the date that such Registration Statement, or any successor registration statement, becomes effective, a letter, dated such date, signed by outside counsel to the Company and addressed to such Holder, confirming such effectiveness and, to the knowledge of such counsel, the absence of any stop order;
 
(h) refrain, and cause it Subsidiaries and Affiliates to refrain, from identifying any Holder as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the Commission or any trading market on which the Common Stock trades or is quoted without the prior written consent of such Holder, and the determination by the Commission that any Holder is deemed to be an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; 
 
(i) permit counsel for each Holder to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, within three Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission; and
 
(j) subject to Commission Rules with respect to any Excluded Securities, if at any time during the Registration Period, the number of Registrable Securities available for resale under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall promptly amend such Registration Statement or file a new registration statement not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following notice from a Holder of the occurrence of such event (or such later date as may be permitted by Commission Rules with respect to Excluded Securities), so that such Registration Statement or such new registration statement, or both, covers no less than all of the Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. Any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3(j) shall state that, to the extent permitted by Rule 416 under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable under the Warrants in order to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar events. Unless and until such amendment or new Registration Statement becomes effective, each Holder shall have the rights described in Section 2(c) of this Agreement.
 
4. OBLIGATIONS OF EACH HOLDER.
 
In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, each Holder shall:
 
(a) within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written request from the Company, furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding itself and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request in order to effect the registration thereof;
 
(b) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 3(e) or 3(f) of this Agreement, immediately discontinue any sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until the filing of an amendment or supplement as described in such Section 3(e) or withdrawal of the stop order referred to in such Section 3(f), and use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents;
 
(c) to the extent required by applicable law, deliver a prospectus to the purchaser of such Registrable Securities;
 
(d) promptly notify the Company when it has sold all of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it; and
 
(e) notify the Company in the event that any information supplied by such Holder in writing for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related prospectus contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and immediately discontinue any sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until the filing of an amendment or supplement to 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.
 
5. INDEMNIFICATION.
 
In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
 
(a) the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of such Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (whether joint or several) (collectively, including reasonable legal expenses or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same, “Losses”), insofar as any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered, 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) of this Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Holder, and each such officer, director, employee, agent, representative or controlling person, for any reasonable legal expenses or other out-of-pocket expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred) by any such entity or person in connection with investigating or defending any Loss; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be obligated to indemnify any person for any Loss to the extent that such Loss arises out of or is based upon (i) any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make statements therein not misleading that conforms in all material respects to written information furnished by such person expressly for use in such Registration Statement or (ii) a failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered the final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and made available by the Company, if such delivery is required by applicable law.
 
(b) each Holder who is named in such Registration Statement as a selling shareholder, acting severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact stated therein or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make statements therein not misleading that conforms in all material respects to written information furnished by such person expressly for use in such Registration Statement. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) of this Agreement, such Holder will reimburse any reasonable legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred) by the Company and any such officer, director, employee, agent, representative, or controlling person, in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5(b) exceed the amount of the net proceeds resulting from the sale of Registrable Securities by such Holder under such Registration Statement.
 
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5, promptly deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action or proceeding. The failure by an indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party within a reasonable time following the commencement of any action or proceeding of which the indemnified party is aware, to the extent materially prejudicial to such indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5 with respect to such action or proceeding, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5 or with respect to any other action or proceeding.
 
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in Sections 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and each Holder agree, severally and not jointly, to contribute to the aggregate Losses to which the Company or such Holder (or its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or controlling persons), may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Holder in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall such Holder be responsible for any amount in excess of the net proceeds resulting from the sale of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the Company or by such Holder. The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee, agent or representative of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee, agent or representative of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 5(d).
 
(e) The obligations of the Company and each Holder under this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement under this Agreement.
 
6. REPORTS.
 
With a view to making available to each Holder the benefits of Rule 144 and any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit such Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees that, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, it will:
 
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
 
(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
 
(c) furnish to such Holder, so long as such Holder owns any Registrable Securities, promptly upon written request (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (ii) to the extent not publicly available through the Commission’s EDGAR database, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the Commission, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested by such Holder in connection with such Holder’s compliance with any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without registration.
 
7. MISCELLANEOUS.
 
(a) Expenses of Registration. Except as otherwise provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement, all reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to each Holder, incurred in connection with the registrations, filings or qualifications described herein, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the letter described in Section 3(g) of this Agreement, shall be borne by the Company.
 
(b) Amendment; Waiver. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended or waived except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
 
(c) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows:

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL BE EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT THERETO, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER.
 
WARRANT
 
TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
 
OF
 
ENER1, INC.
 
Issue Date: November      , 2007 Warrant No.       
 
THIS CERTIFIES that      or any subsequent holder hereof (the “Holder”), has the right to purchase from ENER1, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), up to [     ] fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price per share equal to the Exercise Price (as defined below), at any time and from time to time beginning on the date on which this Warrant was originally issued (the “Issue Date”) and ending at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on the later to occur of (i) the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day following the Issue Date and (ii) the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which the Company files with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 950,000,000 (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that if the Expiration Date occurs on a date that is not a Business Day, the Expiration Date shall be deemed to occur on the on the Business Day immediately following such date. This Warrant is part of a series of substantially identical warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2007 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) (together with this Warrant, the “Warrants”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
1. Exercise.
 
(a) Right to Exercise; Exercise Price. The Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant at any time and from time to time during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration Date as to all or any part of the shares of Common Stock covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares”). The “Exercise Price” for each Warrant Share purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to seventy five cents ($0.75), subject to adjustment for the events specified in Section 6 below.
 
(b) Exercise Notice. In order to exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall send to the Company by facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 6:00 p.m., eastern time, on the Business Day on which the Holder wishes to effect such exercise (the “Exercise Date”), (i) a notice of exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), (ii) a copy of the original Warrant, and (iii) the Exercise Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Exercise Notice shall state the name or names in which the shares of Common Stock that are issuable on such exercise shall be issued. In the case of a dispute between the Company and the Holder as to the calculation of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder (including, without limitation, the calculation of any adjustment pursuant to Section 6 below), the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed within the time periods specified in Section 2 below and shall submit the disputed calculations to a certified public accounting firm of national reputation (other than the Company’s regularly retained accountants) within two (2) Business Days following the date on which the Holder’s Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company shall cause such accountant to calculate the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder and to notify the Company and the Holder of the results in writing no later than three (3) Business Days following the day on which such accountant received the disputed calculations (the “Dispute Procedure”). Such accountant’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The fees of any such accountant shall be borne by the party whose calculations were most at variance with those of such accountant.
 
(c) Holder of Record. The Holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares specified in an Exercise Notice on the Exercise Date specified therein, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Warrant Shares. Except as specifically provided herein, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof any rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the Exercise Date.
 
(d) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon its exercise in full and, if this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time that it delivers Warrant Shares to the Holder pursuant to such exercise as provided herein, issue a new warrant, and deliver to the Holder a certificate representing such new warrant, with terms identical in all respects to this Warrant (except that such new warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant shall remain unexercised); provided, however, that the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all or any portion of such new warrant at any time following the time at which this Warrant is exercised, regardless of whether the Company has actually issued such new warrant or delivered to the Holder a certificate therefor.
 
2. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Upon receipt of a fax copy of an Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 1 above, the Company shall, (A) no later than the close of business on the later to occur of (i) the third (3rd) Business Day following the Exercise Date specified in such Exercise Notice and (ii) such later date on which the Company shall have received payment of the Exercise Price, and (B) with respect to Warrant Shares that are the subject of a Dispute Procedure, the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the determination made pursuant to Section 1(b) (each of the dates specified in (A) or (B) being referred to as a “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or caused to be delivered to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares as shall be determined as provided herein. The Company shall effect delivery of Warrant Shares to the Holder, as long as the Company’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) participates in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program (“FAST”) and no restrictive legend is required pursuant to the terms of this Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement, by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee at DTC (as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice) with the number of Warrant Shares required to be delivered, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. In the event that the Transfer Agent is not a participant in FAST or if the Holder so specifies in a Exercise Notice or otherwise in writing on or before the Exercise Date, the Company shall effect delivery of Warrant Shares by delivering to the Holder or its nominee physical certificates representing such Warrant Shares, no later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. Warrant Shares delivered to the Holder shall not contain any restrictive legend unless such legend is required pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
3. Failure to Deliver Warrant Shares.
 
(a) In the event that the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Exercise Notice on or before the Delivery Date therefor (an “Exercise Default”), the Company shall pay to the Holder payments (“Exercise Default Payments”) in the amount of (i) (N/365) multiplied by (ii) the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares which are the subject of such Exercise Default multiplied by (iii) the lower of fifteen percent (15%) per annum and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Default Interest Rate”), where “N” equals the number of days elapsed between the original Delivery Date of such Warrant Shares and the date on which all of such Warrant Shares are issued and delivered to the Holder. Cash amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each calendar month following the calendar month in which such amount has accrued.
 
(b) In the event of an Exercise Default, the Holder may, upon written notice to the Company (an “Exercise Default Notice”), regain on the date of such notice the rights of the Holder under the exercised portion of this Warrant that is the subject of such Exercise Default. In the event of such Exercise Default and delivery of an Exercise Default Notice, the Holder shall retain all of the Holder’s rights and remedies with respect to the Company’s failure to deliver such Warrant Shares (including without limitation the right to receive the cash payments specified in Section 3(a) above).
 
(c) The Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and no right or remedy is exclusive of any other. In addition to the amounts specified herein, the Holder shall have the right to pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver Warrant Shares on the applicable Delivery Date (including, without limitation, damages relating to any purchase of Common Stock by the Holder to make delivery on a sale effected in anticipation of receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise, such damages to be in an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount paid by the Holder for the Common Stock so purchased minus (B) the aggregate amount of net proceeds, if any, received by the Holder from the sale of the Warrant Shares issued by the Company pursuant to such exercise).
 
4. Exercise Limitations. In no event shall a Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant, or part hereof, if, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder (other than shares which would otherwise be deemed beneficially owned except for being subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4), would exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4 applies, the submission of an Exercise Notice by the Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof and the Company shall be entitled to rely on such representation without making any further inquiry as to whether this Section 4 applies. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a Holder to exercise this Warrant, or part thereof, at such time as such exercise will not violate the provisions of this Section 4. This Section 4 may not be amended unless such amendment is approved by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock then outstanding; provided, however, that the limitations contained in this Section 4 shall cease to apply upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice from the Holder to the Company.
 
5. [Intentionally Omitted]
 
6. Anti-Dilution Adjustments; Distributions; Other Events. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 6. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price required herein results in a fraction of a cent, the Exercise Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest one hundredth of a cent.
 
(a) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time after the Issue Date, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then effective upon the close of business on the record date for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at any time after the Issue Date, combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, effective upon the close of business on the record date for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionally increased.
 
(b) Distributions. If, at any time after the Issue Date, the Company declares or makes any distribution of cash or any other assets (or rights to acquire such assets) to holders of Common Stock, as a partial liquidating dividend or otherwise, including without limitation any dividend or distribution to the Company’s shareholders in shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a “Distribution”), the Company shall deliver written notice of such Distribution (a “Distribution Notice”) to the Holder at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution (the “Record Date”) and (ii) the date on which such Distribution is made (the “Distribution Date”) (the earlier of such dates being referred to as the “Determination Date”). In the Distribution Notice to a Holder, the Company shall indicate whether the Company has elected (A) to deliver to such Holder, upon any exercise of this Warrant after the Determination Date, the same amount and type of assets being distributed in such Distribution as though the Holder were, on the Determination Date, a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable as of such Determination Date (such number of shares to be determined at the Exercise Price then in effect and without giving effect to any limitations on such exercise) or (B) upon any exercise of this Warrant on or after the Determination Date, to reduce the Exercise Price applicable to such exercise by reducing the Exercise Price in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the Record Date by an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets to be distributed divided by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Distribution is to be made, such fair market value to be reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. If the Company does not notify the Holders of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence on or prior to the Determination Date, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) of the preceding sentence.
 
(c) Adjustments; Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder of this Warrant shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 6. Any adjustment made herein that results in a decrease or an increase in the Exercise Price shall also effect a proportional increase or decrease, as the case may be, in the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.
 
7. Fractional Interests.
 
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, but on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying such fraction by the Market Price as of the Exercise Date.
 
8. Transfer of this Warrant.
 
The Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part, as long as such sale or other disposition is made pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon such transfer or other disposition (other than a pledge), the Holder shall deliver this Warrant to the Company together with a written notice to the Company, substantially in the form of the Transfer Notice attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Transfer Notice”), indicating the person or persons to whom this Warrant shall be transferred and, if less than all of this Warrant is transferred, the number of Warrant Shares to be covered by the part of this Warrant to be transferred to each such person. Within three (3) Business Days of receiving a Transfer Notice and the original of this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the each transferee designated by the Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares and, if less than all this Warrant is transferred, shall deliver to the Holder a Warrant for the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
9. Benefits of this Warrant.
 
This Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Holder of this Warrant and nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Holder of this Warrant any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.
 
10. Loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of Warrant.
 
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
 
11. Notice or Demands.
 
Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows:
