1.0 OVERVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS PLAN Background
Exide Technologies (Exide or the Company) owns real property in the City of Frisco, Texas that includes
the Exide Technologies Battery Recycling Facility and surrounding buffer property The Exide
Technologies Battery Recycling Facility was operated by Exide and its predecessors as a lead acid
battery recycling complex. Following negotiations with the City, in June 2012, Exide Technologies
(Exide or the Company) agreed to cease its recycling operations in Frisco by December 31, 2012 and to
sell a 180-acre portion of the property to the Frisco Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and the
Frisco Community Development Corporation (CDC) (VCP Parcel). Exide will retain ownership of the
remainder of the property, which includes the portion of the property on which industrial operations
occurred (Exide Retained Property or Site).
Exide ceased recycling operations at the Site as of November 30, 2012. Following the cessation of
recycling operations, Exide initiated a project that involves Site decommissioning, decontamination,
demolition, corrective action and closure activities on the Exide Retained Property (the “Project”). The
Project will occur in a series of steps, which are outlined in the ‘Project Overview’ link located on the
Exide Frisco website. When this multi-step, multi-component Project is completed Exide will have
completed remediation of the Exide Retained Property in accordance with applicable regulatory
requirements.
1.1 Purposes of the Plan
The purpose of this Community Relations Plan (Plan) is to establish a framework for communications
relating to the Project on the Exide Retained Property between Exide and the community. Because the
VCP Parcel involves the EDC, CDC and the City of Frisco, a separate VCP Parcel Community Relations
Plan (VCP CR Plan) has been prepared to establish the framework for those activities.
Through implementation of the measures set forth in this Plan, Exide will disseminate of information
relating to the Project to the community in an effort to keep the community informed and to provide for
meaningful public participation in connection with the decommissioning, decontamination, demolition,
corrective action and closure activities that will occur at the Site. Under the Plan, Exide will host forums
for information exchange and public comment on Project activities at the Site in coordination with the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the City. The Plan is designed to facilitate
timely communications among Exide and the general public; local, state and federal officials; and other
parties interested in the Project. The specific objectives of this Plan are to: 1. Establish mechanisms for communications among Exide, area residents, and local, state and federal officials, through identification of contacts (See Appendix C), hosting and publicizing meetings, setting up and maintaining a repository of data and sponsoring a web site for information and public comment. 2. Assure that interactions with the public are sufficient and meaningful so that Exide can understand and respond to community concerns and suggestions as the Project progresses.

Exide welcomes suggestions regarding the processes and tools for communication laid out in this Plan.
This Plan will be reviewed periodically and may be modified to better achieve the Plan objectives.
1.2 Roles and Responsibilities
Exide will continue to manage all aspects of the Project. Exide has hired Pastor, Behling & Wheeler, LLC
(PBW) as the Environmental Engineering Consultant to provide project oversight and Remediation
Services Inc. (RSI) as the Demolition and Remediation contractor. The TCEQ is the lead regulatory
agency that will be reviewing, commenting on and ultimately approving work plans, activities and reports,
as required.

1.3 Sources of Information for Community Relations Plan
This Plan was developed based on publicly available information and discussions with state and local
officials. It is also based on the Company’s knowledge and historical records and demographic
information for neighborhoods around the Site. Demographic information was provided by the U.S.
Census Bureau.
1.4 Organization of this Community Relations Plan
This Plan is organized as follows:
The Site and its history;
Current and planned Site activities; and
Description of specific community relations activities planned during the Project.
Page 4
2.0 SITE BACKGROUND
This section provides a brief description of the Site and a summary of current and planned Site
activities.
2.1 Site Location and Description
The Site is located at 7471 South Fifth Street, Frisco, Collin County, Texas. The Site is located within
the City of Frisco city limits and encompasses approximately 260 acres of land which consists of:
unimproved vegetated land;
Exide’s Battery Recycling facility, which ceased recycling operations as of November 30, 2012;
a Class 2 non-hazardous waste landfill comprised of active cells and capped inactive cells with vegetative cover;
closed landfills referred to as “pre-RCRA” landfills; and
a stormwater retention pond.
The Site is located within a mixed residential, commercial and industrial area and is bordered:
to the North by Martin Marietta Materials, a stone, sand and gravel distribution facility and Eubanks Street;
to the East by Parkwood Road/5th Street and undeveloped land;
to the Southeast by Frisco Police Department, undeveloped land and beyond by Stonebrook Parkway;
to the Southwest by undeveloped land and the Dallas North Tollway;
and the East by railroad tracks and beyond by a commercial park.
A Site Location Map and Site Map are presented in Figures 2 and Figure 3, respectively.
2.2 Site History
Industrial operations at the Site began in 1964 and were expanded in 1969 to include the recycling of
lead-acid batteries and other lead-bearing scrap materials with the installation and operation of the blast
furnace and subsequent installation and operation of the reverberatory furnace in 1979. Exide was
initially issued a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Hazardous Waste Permit (#50206)
in 1988.
The RCRA permit authorized the operation of two hazardous waste storage units at the Site: 1) Battery
Receiving/Storage Building (a RCRA hazardous waste container storage area); and 2) Raw Material
Storage Building (a RCRA hazardous waste containment building). On December 4, 2012, in
accordance with the RCRA permit, Exide notified TCEQ of the expected final closure of the two RCRA-
permitted units.
In addition, Exide operates solid waste management units (SWMUs) at the Site which do not require a
RCRA permit but are listed on Exide’s Notice of Registration (NOR) with the TCEQ, including a tank
Page 5
used to stabilize hazardous wastes and render them non-hazardous (referred to as the Slag Treatment
Building); the SWMUs will be closed in accordance with applicable regulations.
In 1978, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set the National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS) for lead at 1.5 μg/m3. In 1991, EPA designated a portion of Collin County as a
lead nonattainment area. In 1999, EPA redesignated the area as attainment and approved a TCEQ-
submitted 10-year maintenance plan. As the only significant lead source in the area, Exide undertook
all measures to comply with the maintenance plan including installation of new emission control
equipment at the Site. In 2008, EPA lowered the NAAQS lead standard 0.15 μg/m3. A portion of
Collin County was once again declared a lead nonattainment area in 2010, with an attainment
demonstration date of December 31, 2015. Exide and TCEQ entered into an Agreed Order, Docket No.
2011-0521-MIS, for the purpose of implementing measures to demonstrate attainment with the 2008
lead NAAQS by the attainment demonstration date. As an alternative to completing the measures listed
in the order Exide elected to cease plant operations. In accordance with the order, Exide provided
notice of the intent to cease operation by November 30, 2012 to the TCEQ on October 9, 2012.

2.2.1 Site Environmental Investigations
A number of Site environmental investigations have been conducted over more than two decades,
providing substantial information about Site conditions and include the following:
A RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) was conducted on the following nine solid waste management units
at Exide’s operating facility, as required under Exide’s RCRA permit issued in 1988:
a) Battery storage area;
b) Raw material storage area ;
c) Slag landfill;
d) North disposal area;
e) South disposal area;
f) Stewart creek;
g) Old drum storage area;
h) Stewart creek sediment dredging waste pile; and
i) Product (rubber chip) waste pile.
The initial RFI was conducted in 1990-1991 and included installation and monitoring of on-site
groundwater monitoring wells and delineation of nine solid waste management units (four
landfills, four storage areas, and the creek). The RFI report was submitted to TCEQ in 1991
and an addendum to the report was submitted in 1993.
1. A Phase II RFI workplan was submitted to TCEQ on October 5, 1994. The workplan was
approved with modifications by TCEQ by letter dated February 27, 1998. A Phase II RFI
Report dated August 28, 1998 was submitted to the TCEQ in August, 1998.
2. In 1999, a Stewart Creek Corrective Measures Workplan was conditionally approved by TCEQ.
Subsequently, a stretch of more than 2,000 feet of Stewart Creek was remediated under TCEQ
oversight.
3. Of the nine solid waste management units on which the RFI was required, certification of
closure was approved by TCEQ in 2000 for the following four units: 1) battery storage area; 2)
old drum storage area; 3) Stewart Creek sediment dredging waste pile; and 4) product waste
pile.
4. Pursuant to the terms of an Administrative Order on Consent entered into between EPA and
Exide under EPA Docket No. RCRA 06-2011-0966, Exide is in the process of implementing an
EPA approved sampling and analysis work plan. Exide submitted a site investigation report to
EPA in July 2012, presenting the results of the sampling, and will be addressing EPA’s
comments on that report as part of Exide’s ongoing site assessment activities. Additionally,
pursuant to a provision in the current RCRA permit, Exide is required to conduct an RFI on the
Page 7
remaining five solid waste management units (slag landfill; raw material storage area; north
disposal area; south disposal area and Stewart Creek). Pursuant to a proposed Agreed Order
with TCEQ, Docket No. 2011-1712-IHW-E, Exide will consolidate results (and responses to
comments) from these efforts into a single Affected Property Assessment Report (APAR) to
identify the nature and extent of any chemicals of concern (COCs).
2.2.2 Agency Inspections
Throughout the course of its operations, the Exide Battery Recycling facility has been subject to a
number of inspections by environmental agencies. The most recent EPA and TCEQ inspections are
discussed below.
EPA Multi-Media Inspection
The week of December 14 – 18, 2009, EPA conducted a multi-media [RCRA, Clean Water Act (CWA),
Clean Air Act (CAA), and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-know Act (EPCRA)]
compliance inspection of Exide’s operations. In addition to the compliance portion of the inspection, a
RCRA Corrective Action case development inspection was also conducted, with a subsequent sampling
inspection conducted on March 29, 2010.
For more detailed information regarding the inspection, please visit www.exide.com/Frisco.
TCEQ 2011 Inspection
On May 6, 2011, May 12, 2011, May 17-19 2011 and June 28-29, 2011, TCEQ conducted an
investigation of Exide’s operations to evaluate compliance with applicable requirements for Industrial
Solid Waste and Municipal Hazardous Waste.
For more detailed information regarding the inspection, please visit www.exide.com/Frisco
2.2.3 Exide and City of Frisco Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of an agreement dated June 6, 2012, Exide agreed to sell approximately 180
acres of land adjacent to the Battery Recycling facility to the EDC and the CDC. The agreement
requires Exide to clean up the land to be sold to the EDC and CDC to risk-based residential cleanup
standards, with a cleanup level for lead in soils of 250 parts per million, which is one-half of the TCEQ’s
residential cleanup level of 500 parts per million for lead in soils. The agreement also required Exide,
the City, the EDC and the CDC to apply to clean up the land to be sold to the EDC and the CDC under
the TCEQ’s voluntary cleanup program (VCP program). Issuance of a certificate of completion under
the VCP program for the cleanup is a condition to the transfer of the land to the EDC and the CDC. The
portion of the Site to be sold to the EDC and the CDC under the agreement is referred to as the VCP
Parcel and the balance of the Site, which will be retained by Exide, is referred to as the Exide Retained
Property. Exide, the City, the EDC and the CDC submitted an application to TCEQ on October 25,
2012 to remediate the VCP Parcel under the TCEQ’s VCP program to meet risk-based residential
cleanup standards. That application was accepted under the VCP program on December 8, 2012.
Page 8
Under the terms of the agreement with the City, the EDC and the CDC, Exide agreed to cease recycling
operations at the Site by December 31, 2012. Recycling operations at the Site ceased as of November
30, 2012.
2.3 Work in Progress
Since the announcement of the plant closing, Exide has ceased all Battery Recycling operations;
commenced decontamination (decon) activities; and has begun preparing for demolition (demo)
activities. Key essential activities underway at the Site as of February 1, 2013 are:
Exide environmental personnel are continuing to operate the wastewater treatment system to
treat wash waters generated and operate baghouses for dust suppression during
decontamination and demolition activities as well as conduct other environmental management
activities at the Exide Retained Property.
The Exide decon and equipment removal team is assisting RSI with decontamination activities
at the Exide Retained Property and removing select assets to be utilized at other facilities.
PBW and RSI are preparing to implement the demolition plan for the Exide Retained Property,
which we anticipate will commence by the end of January, as well as preparing to implement
the closure plan under the RCRA permit for the permitted units.
Exide is maintaining utilities, including water and electricity, for the Exide Retained Property.
Under the terms of an Administrative Order on Consent, Docket No. RCRA 06-2011-0966,
entered into by Exide and EPA effective May 2, 2012, Exide is conducting soil and groundwater
sampling at the Exide Retained Property pursuant to an EPA-approved sampling and analysis
work plan.
Note that over time other activities will be underway at the Site.

3.2 Community Concerns
In the past Exide has hosted public meetings, open houses, small neighborhood meetings, and had
contact with local community organizations, such as Frisco Unleaded, and discussions with local and
state officials. Exide recognizes that the level of community interest in the Site and the Project is high.
The measures to be implemented pursuant to this Plan are designed to facilitate communications
between Exide and the community concerning Exide’s plans and establish channels for Exide to keep
members of the community informed of activities and developments on the Site. Further, the
communication lines established by this Plan are intended to provide an opportunity for meaningful input
by the public and to enable Exide to understand and respond to community concerns.
Page 12
4.0 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT ACTIVITIES
The primary objectives of the community involvement activities to be undertaken by Exide are to keep
the community informed of what's going on at the Site and to provide a forum for public input. This
section outlines the actions that Exide will take to facilitate a successful two-way communication
process.
"Community" means residents, businesses, schools, elected officials, local and state agencies,
environmental groups, service organizations, and anyone else who has an interest in the Site.
4.1 Communication Tools
Exide is committed to keeping the public informed and providing an opportunity for meaningful public
comment throughout the Project. As part of this commitment, Exide will utilize the tools presented
below.
4.1.1 Public Website
Exide has a public website (www.exide.com/Frisco) to provide Site-related information and information
on current Site activities. This website will provide Site information such as:
a description and projected timeline for completion of each of the components of the Project;
draft and final work plans;
deadlines for submitting comments on draft work plans;
progress reports for plans being implemented;
Site data;
questions submitted by the public though the website and Exide’s responses to those questions; and
notices of public meetings and copies of documents, slides and information presented at public meetings.
As noted, the website provides a convenient forum for individuals to provide comments on and to ask
questions relating to the Project. It also allows Exide a single forum to respond to the public’s comments
and questions.
Exide has established this website for community input and to receive and respond to questions and
comments that are directly about the Project and the activities that are being initiated in conjunction with
the cessation of recycling operations at the Frisco plant, including the VCP Parcel remediation. Not all
website questions or comments meet this criteria. For example, Exide has received questions that relate
primarily to litigation claims covered in the Notice of Intent to file suit under various environmental
statutes tendered to Exide by Frisco Unlimited and Downwinders At Risk. Exide also has received
Page 13
questions wholly unrelated to the Project -- such as the request from an out of state resident looking to
sell spent batteries. Exide commits to post all questions and comments and for those that do not meet
the community input/Project activity criteria, to state the reason it is not providing a response.
A link to the Exide public website will be posted to the City of Frisco website.
4.1.2 Information Repositories
In addition to the public website, the public can access site-related documents at an information
repository for the Site located at the Frisco Public Library located at 6106 Frisco Square Boulevard
#3000, Frisco, Texas. The repository will be updated every two weeks.
4.1.3 Fact Sheets
Exide will prepare and periodically publish fact sheets regarding Project progress. The fact sheets will
address technical milestones; the current list of contacts and information repositories; public comment
periods for draft work plans and other documents; and other issues. Fact sheets will be available in both
English and Spanish and located in the ‘Fact Sheets’ link located on the left hand side of the main page
of the website. Fact sheets may also be distributed at public meetings, and will be available at the
designated information repository. Consolidated Fact Sheets may address both VCP Parcel remediation
progress and Exide Retained Property Project progress.
4.1.4 Public Information Meetings
Exide will host, at a minimum, quarterly public information meetings during the Project decommissioning,
decontamination, demolition, corrective action and closure implementation to provide information to the
public about the process and activities. Public meetings hosted under the VCP CR Plan may serve as a
quarterly public information meeting under this Plan. The typical meeting format is expected to consist of
a structured information session followed by an informal opportunity for members of the public to meet
with Exide representatives to ask questions and provide input. As previously noted, the public website
will serve as the forum for formal questions and comments. All public meetings will be held at an
accessible facility in the community. Notices for each public meeting will be posted on Exide’s website
and published in local media sources. Exide’s goal is to provide a 30 day notice for all public meetings,
however given the Project timeline and Exide’s commitment to keeping the public informed, some
meeting notifications may fall short of the 30-day notice period. Representatives from TCEQ and the City
will be invited to each public meeting.
The format of the meetings will allow Exide to present relevant information and updates and member of
the public to have an opportunity to dialogue with Exide representative. Each meeting will follow an
agenda that will be posted on the website and made available at the meeting.
Page 14
4.1.5 Response to Comments
Exide will respond in writing on the Exide website to written questions and comments that meet the
community input/Project activity criteria (whether posted on the website or provided in writing at the
public meeting), www.exide.com/Frisco. As noted, questions and comments that do not meet the
community input/Project activity criteria will be posted and Exide will state the reason it is not providing a
response. Questions asked during a public meeting formal question and answer period that meet the
community input/Project activity criteria will be answered, to the extent possible, at the time of the
meeting.
Exide has established this website for community input and to receive and respond to questions and
comments that are directly about the Project and the activities that are being initiated in conjunction with
the cessation of recycling operations at the Frisco plant, including the VCP Parcel remediation. Not all
website questions or comments meet this criteria. For example, Exide has received questions that relate
primarily to litigation claims covered in the Notice of Intent to file suit under various environmental
statutes tendered to Exide by Frisco Unlimited and Downwinders At Risk. Exide also has received
questions wholly unrelated to the Project -- such as the request from an out of state resident looking to
sell spent batteries. Exide commits to post all questions and comments and for those that do not meet
the community input/Project activity criteria, to state the reason it is not providing a response.
4.1.6 Local Media Sources
Public notices, which are display ads in newspapers, will also be used to announce public information
meetings. These notices will be in English and Spanish. Newspapers that serve this community are the
following: Frisco Enterprise and The Dallas Morning News. Additional media such as both English and
Spanish broadcasted radio and TV may occasionally be used.
4.1.7 Briefings for Elected Officials
Exide will hold briefings with elected officials to keep them informed of the Project status and timeline
and any significant developments or events related to the demolition and remediation, as requested.
Page 15
4.2 Project Contacts
Questions and comments should be submitted through the website: www.exide.com/Frisco. This
centralized system will generally expedite responses to the public . Exide welcomes community
inquiries and input relating to the Project throughout the Project. Questions will be addressed in the
order they are received.
