Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 26, 2007, Exide Technologies and Gordon Ulsh executed amendments to Mr. Ulsh's employment agreement (the "Amended and Restated Employment Agreement"). The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement addresses provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and reduces the notice period for non-renewal to 30 days from 90 days, in order to provide additional time for the Company and Mr. Ulsh to negotiate modifications to the terms of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement prior to the April 2, 2008 renewal.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
