Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 9, 2010, EnerDel, Inc. ("EnerDel"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ener1, Inc., entered into a two-year lease (the "Lease") with Park 70 Partners, L.P. ("Landlord") for approximately two hundred eleven thousand five hundred (211,500) square feet of industrial space in the western half of Building 1 of the facility known as Access 70, located in Mount Comfort, Hancock County, Indiana ("Building 1"). The annual base rent under the two-year term of the Lease is Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($780,000). The Lease is filed herewith as an exhibit and is hereby incorporated by reference.

Pursuant to the Lease, EnerDel has a right of first refusal to lease additional space in Building 1, consisting of the remaining two hundred eleven thousand five hundred square feet (211,500). EnerDel also has an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase Building 1 (the "Purchase Option"), which option expires on December 31, 2011 (the "Purchase Option Period"). If the Purchase Option is exercised on or before December 31, 2010, the purchase price would be $15.5 million, and will be subject to increase by $40,000 per month thereafter until the Purchase Option is exercised up to a maximum purchase price of $16 million. If EnerDel fails to exercise the Purchase Option by the expiration of the Purchase Option Period, Landlord has the right to require EnerDel to enter into a fifteen (15) year lease for all of Building 1.
