Director Qualifications

Members of the Board of Directors should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values. They should have broad experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education, technology or public interest. They should be committed to enhancing stockholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. Their service on other boards of public companies should be limited to a number that permits them, given their individual circumstances, to perform responsibly all director duties. Each director must represent the interests of all stockholders.

Term of Directors

Each director is elected for a term of three years. The Class I directors will serve from 2006 until 2009 and anticipate being nominated for re-election at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders. The Class II directors will serve from 2007 until 2010, and the Class III directors will serve from 2008 until 2011.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors

The Board of Directors utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Board of Directors regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Board of Directors considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Board of Directors through current members of the Board of Directors, professional search firms, stockholders or other persons. These candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Board of Directors and may be considered at any point during the year. As described above, the Board of Directors considers properly submitted stockholder nominations for candidates for the Board of Directors. Following verification of the stockholder status of persons proposing candidates, recommendations are aggregated and considered by the Board of Directors at a regularly scheduled meeting, which is generally the first or second meeting prior to the issuance of the proxy statement for the annual meeting. If any materials are provided by a stockholder in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials are forwarded to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also reviews materials provided by professional search firms or other parties in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a stockholder. In evaluating such nominations, the Board of Directors seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board of Directors.

ITEM 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This discussion and analysis provides you with an understanding of our executive compensation philosophy, plans and practices, and gives you the context for understanding and evaluating the more specific compensation information contained in the tables and related disclosures that follow.

Overview of Our Compensation Program Philosophy and Process

We are an environmental energy technology company focused on geothermal power development and technology licensing. We operate two business segments: Power Systems and our Transportation & Industrial business. Our Power Systems segment develops clean, renewable geothermal electric power plants and bottom-cycling operations. Our Transportation & Industrial segment focuses on using our Symetron™ family of technologies to improve the efficiency of electric motors, generators and power electronic drives used in electric and hybrid electric vehicle propulsion systems. Through these two business segments, we are employing a “Well to Wheels” strategy in an effort to produce a positive impact on the environment and economically beneficial results for our stockholders. By executing our “Well to Wheels” strategy, we aim to become a producer of clean, geothermal electric power as well as a provider of electric and hybrid-electric vehicle technologies and products.

7

We strongly believe that our ability to attract and retain a high caliber of executive talent in the marketplace is essential for us to execute the business plans of each of our business segments. In light of the extraordinary challenges facing our business, we believe that our compensation practices play an important part in attracting and retaining the talent necessary to achieve our desired outcomes.

We place great importance on the consistency of our executive management in achieving results that we believe will enhance long-term stockholder value. We believe that using an effective and individualized executive compensation package will serve to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers and provide them with the opportunity to build a meaningful ownership stake in our Company.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for approving the nature and amount of compensation paid to, and the employment agreements entered into with, our named executive officers, establishing and evaluating performance based goals related to compensation, overseeing our cash bonus and equity based plans, approving guidelines for grants of awards under these plans and determining and overseeing our compensation and benefits policies generally. Compensation Committee members are “independent directors” (as defined under NYSE rules), “non-employee directors” (as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) and “outside directors” (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code). When deemed necessary, the Compensation Committee uses the services of an independent compensation consultant to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities.

Each year, the Compensation Committee performs a review of our executive compensation packages and evaluates the performance of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews the nature and amounts of all elements of the executive officers’ compensation, both separately and in the aggregate, to ensure that both total compensation and its individual components are strongly competitive with respect to similarly-sized public companies in similar industries. The Compensation Committee also reviews each element of the executive officer’s compensation for internal consistency. Finally, the Compensation Committee also reviews the current value of outstanding stock options and share grants (as compared to their grant date value).

Following these reviews, and after taking into account the market data and other considerations described below, the Compensation Committee adjusts the compensation package for each executive officer. In determining individual compensation, the Compensation Committee assesses the executive’s length of service, individual performance and contributions during the year, individual responsibility and role with respect to overall corporate policy-making, management and administration, and the importance of retaining the executive.

Use of Competitive Market Data

The Compensation Committee will periodically refer to readily available market data to compare, or “benchmark,” our compensation levels for our named executive officers. We believe that executive compensation levels from similarly-sized public companies in similar industries provide a comparable range of companies to help ensure that our executive officers are fairly compensated.

The Compensation Committee may review compensation data disclosed in the SEC filings of certain companies’ named executive officers and reviews other available compensation summary data. The Compensation Committee makes comparisons based on functional responsibility to the extent possible.

The Compensation Committee may also use marketplace compensation data to determine the mix provided in each category of compensation (cash and noncash, short-term and long-term). However, the Compensation Committee has not adopted a specific policy or formula to allocate value between the various categories or subcategories of compensation elements. Generally, the Compensation Committee has used a mix more heavily weighted to long-term equity based compensation than the market or our peer groups as a whole. We believe this emphasis closely aligns our named executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders. We believe this approach is an effective incentive for our executives to be forward-looking and proactive in meeting the challenges presented by the continual changes in our competitive environment. We also believe this approach has significant retention value.

We are aware that the use of “benchmark” surveys has the inherent effect of “ratcheting up” executive compensation. The Compensation Committee does not make any determination of or change to compensation in reaction to market data alone, but rather uses this information periodically as one of many factors, among the several considerations described above, in determining compensation levels.

Elements and Mix of Our Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program for our named executive officers includes the following key components: cash base salary, performance based annual (short-term) cash bonus and long-term equity based compensation in the form of stock options and share grants. In addition, executive officers are eligible to receive certain insurance benefits and participate in employee benefit plans that are generally available to all employees. These elements are the same as or similar to those used by most other similarly-sized public companies.

Although other companies may place great value on certain types of compensation, we have our own perspective on the relative importance and value of each element. For example, we do not offer any pension or other defined benefit-type plans to the executive officers. Our philosophy is that we should achieve profitability as a company prior to paying cash bonuses or providing long-term benefits to our executives.

Base Salary. This element of compensation is necessary to attract and retain employees in an organization. As the basic fixed element of the compensation package, it serves as a baseline measure of an employee’s value. Base salary is the only guaranteed compensation (i.e., not based directly on performance) other than benefits received by an executive officer in exchange for investing the executive’s career with us.

Three of our current named executive officers (CEO, CFO and President) have employment agreements that provide for a base salary with no guaranteed annual increases in base salary. The other named executive officers (General Counsel and Secretary and Executive Vice President of Construction) are employed on an “at-will” basis with no guaranteed annual increase in base salary. However, salary increases may be awarded to any executive officer at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. In establishing the initial base salary level, at the time the agreements were entered into, the Compensation Committee considered prior experience and salary history, job responsibilities, job performance, seniority and market data on base salary levels from various survey sources, and overall inherent risk to executives in public companies. The Compensation Committee also reviewed base salary based on internal comparisons of executives relative to their responsibilities. Any increases during the term of the agreement are generally based on individual performance, the levels of achievement of our performance goals during the tenure of the executive and any increase in duties and responsibilities placed on the executive as a result of our continuing and significant growth.

Cash Bonus Incentive Compensation. Our cash bonus incentive plan, which was designed in consultation with a compensation consultant and approved by our Compensation Committee, provides a variable element to annual (short-term) cash compensation that is tied directly to positive operating cash flow results and overall profitability. This element is needed to complete a competitive total annual cash compensation package. However, it is at risk for performance—no bonus is expected to be paid out unless we achieve positive operating cash flow and operational profitability as described below. This plan puts a significant amount of annual cash compensation at risk and supports our objective that our executive officers balance achieving satisfactory or better current year operating results with achieving long-term profitability. Since we have not achieved profitability, no cash bonuses have been paid since the adoption of the cash bonus incentive plan. For 2009, the Compensation Committee approved that the target bonus for each of the executive officers, should they achieve certain positive cash flow and profitability levels in 2009, pays up to a maximum of 70% to 90% of their annual salary.

Equity Based Incentive Compensation. In our view, one of the most important elements of the executive function is the assessment and management of risk. Our equity based long-term incentive compensation program is the compensation link between the executive officer’s decision making and the long-term outcomes of those decisions. As described in more detail below, our standard vesting schedules require a relatively long holding period before a meaningful portion of the equity based compensation can be realized, allowing time to see the results of the decisions, and providing the market time to react to the results, as well as providing a greater retention value.

In March 2004, our Board of Directors adopted the Raser Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and in May 2004, our board recommended and our stockholders approved the Plan. The Plan was adopted to facilitate (1) grants of a wider range of stock incentive awards, including restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance units, (2) an automatic annual increase to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan beginning in 2005 equal to the lesser of 1,750,000 shares of common stock, 3% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the first day of each fiscal year, or an amount determined by the Board of Directors, and (3) optional automatic, nondiscretionary annual stock option grants for employees and non-employee directors. As of January 1, 2009, we were authorized to issue up to 9,693,173 shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan.

We believe that a strong reliance on long-term equity based compensation is advantageous because this type of compensation fosters a long-term commitment by executive employees and motivates them to improve the long-term market performance of our stock. In prior years, we attempted to achieve this goal with large share grants to our executives which typically vested over a three-year period. However, certain of those executives resigned when their share grants became substantially vested. Beginning in 2006, the Compensation Committee decided that a more effective way to provide sufficient incentives to retain executive talent was to grant options to purchase our common stock upon initial employment and granting additional options from time to time. The option grant dates are not established to coincide with releases of material non-public information. Rather, the option grant dates are established as the start date of the executive’s employment or the approval date of the Compensation Committee. Options granted to executive officers typically vest over a four to five-year period. We have also amended the options agreement for both granted and to-be-granted options to extend the time which an employee is allowed to exercise their vested options once they leave their employ with the Company. The Compensation Committee considers the base salary, cash bonus incentive plan, and the current Black-Scholes value of the stock options to determine the quantity and vesting period. See the tables below regarding share grants and option grants awarded to our executive officers.

Management periodically performs a review of our processes for share grants and stock option grants and exercises under the Plan. We believe that our executive officers have been in compliance with the terms of the Plan as well as applicable legal and tax requirements and accounting principles.

Insurance Benefits. As part of our compensation program, we currently pay all or a portion of the premiums on certain health insurance policies for executive officers. These benefits are also extended to all employees in a non-discriminatory manner.

Perquisites. Executive officers receive an annual allotment of personal time off (“PTO”) based upon the number of years of service and executive level position. All unused PTO at the end of 2008 in excess of 5 days is forfeited by executive officers, except for Mr. Cook and Mr. Schwartz. Mr. Cook receives 30 days PTO annually and is allowed to carryover all unused PTO into the subsequent year. Mr. Schwartz receives 20 days PTO annually and is entitled to be paid, in cash, (at the then current hourly rate) the amount of unused PTO at each anniversary date. At December 31, 2008, Mr. Cook had 16.5 days of unused PTO that were carried forward into 2009. At December 31, 2008, Mr. Schwartz had 5 days of unused PTO that were carried forward into 2009.

Payments in Connection with a Change in Control. All unvested share grants and unvested stock options become immediately vested following a “change in control” of company ownership. There are no other “change in control” provisions associated with executive officer employment agreements.

Emphasis on Performance

As described above, the Compensation Committee has set positive operating cash flow and achieving profitability as the performance metrics for our executive officers to earn annual cash bonuses. Operating cash flow is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and is adjusted to include tax equity development fee distributions paid from the geothermal projects to the Raser parent company. As such, it eliminates the significant level of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital intensive nature of our business and proprietary requirements to safeguard our patents and trademarks. EBITDA is also unaffected by our capital structure or investment activities. Since a significant portion of our benefit is anticipated to come from distributions paid by tax equity partners of our geothermal projects, we believe it is important to capture this in our EBITDA measurement. Our Compensation Committee uses this measure in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that operating cash flow is also useful to investors as it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with other companies in our industries, although our measure of operating cash flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. For these reasons, the Compensation Committee believes that EBITDA is the best overall measure of our performance that can be controlled by the decision making of our executives. We also believe that measuring performance at the Company level and not at the individual level is appropriate, because our executive group needs to operate as a team to achieve our objectives.

Generally, the Compensation Committee does not base compensation levels or awards directly on our stock price performance because it believes that it is not equitable to tie such compensation levels or awards on performance rewards based on a quantitative metric that management cannot directly control. Moreover, a close relationship between compensation levels and our stock price could lead to an undesirable focus on short-term results. However, the Compensation Committee does periodically review benchmark data comparing our stock price performance to that of similarly-sized public companies, and does consider this information in a general way in setting compensation levels each year. In addition, because a material portion of compensation for named executive officers is normally in the form of stock-based incentives, a significant portion of each executive’s compensation is inherently tied to stock price movement.

Emphasis on Long-Term Stock Ownership

Vesting of Equity Based Incentive Compensation. We seek to achieve the long-term objectives of equity compensation in part by extending the vesting period for options over a longer time period than what we believe to be the case in many other public companies. For example, with respect to the stock options granted to our named executive officers during 2008, 100% vest quarterly over five years. Between 10% and 20% of prior year option grants have vested immediately while 80% to 90% vest ratably over four to five years. Prior years share grants have vested over three to four years.

Policies Regarding Hedging and Insider Trading. Our policy prohibits any executive officer from buying or selling any Company securities or options or derivatives with respect to Company securities without obtaining prior approval from one of our Compliance Officers. This policy is designed to reduce the risk that an executive will trade in our securities at a time when he or she is in possession of inside information or could be deemed to be in possession of inside information. Our policy prohibits hedging except “in exceptional and limited circumstances approved by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. Investing in derivatives of the Company’s securities may be permitted, provided that any such investment is subject to compliance with the Company’s pre-clearance process set forth in the policy.” Federal securities laws prohibit our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders from selling “short” our stock.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews our compensation practices for purposes of obtaining the maximum tax deductibility of compensation paid, consistent with our employment agreement contractual commitments, and as one factor in our compensation philosophy. From time to time, the Compensation Committee has awarded, and may in the future award, compensation that is not fully deductible if it determines that such award is consistent with this philosophy and is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Compensation Committee also endeavors to ensure that any compensation that could be characterized as non-qualified deferred compensation complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Such endeavors may include amending existing compensatory arrangements.

The Compensation Committee also takes into account the accounting treatment of compensation elements in determining types or levels of compensation for our executive officers.

Other Considerations

The Compensation Committee does not take into account aggregate amounts realized or realizable from prior years’ compensation when making decisions regarding current compensation levels. The Compensation Committee believes that in order to maintain the best group of executives to lead the Company, we need to provide individualized compensation packages which are highly competitive with the marketplace and reward performance. High-quality executive talent with the experience and capabilities sought by us is scarce. The Compensation Committee believes that if we could not provide attractive compensation packages to each executive, there would be unnecessary risk to stockholder value. Conversely, to reduce current year compensation below competitive levels is seen by the Compensation Committee as counterproductive.

Role of Named Executive Officers in the Compensation Process. As part of their job responsibilities, certain of our named executive officers participate in gathering and presenting facts related to compensation and benefit matters as requested by the Compensation Committee, and in formulating and making recommendations to the Compensation Committee in these areas. The executives, together with our employees who work in the compensation area and the compensation consultants, also conduct research with other expert sources to keep abreast of developments in these areas. All decisions, however, regarding the compensation of our executive officers are made by the Compensation Committee which consists entirely of independent members of the Board of Directors.

(1) Brent M. Cook joined the Company in January 2005 and received a base salary of $220,000 until 2008 when his annual base salary was increased to $250,000. Mr. Cook does not receive any additional compensation for serving as a member of our Board of Directors. During 2008, Mr. Cook also received a PTO payout in accordance with his previous employment contract which is included in all other compensation column (i) above totaling $18,333.

(2) Patrick J. Schwartz began employment in June 2006 and received compensation of $95,346 over a period of six months, which equated to an annualized base salary of $185,000. During 2008, the annual base salary of Mr. Schwartz increased to $192,400.

(3) Martin F. Petersen began employment in January 2007 and received compensation of $181,458 during 2007, which equated to an annualized base salary of $185,000. During 2008, the annual base salary of Mr. Petersen increased to $192,400.

(4) Richard D. Clayton began employment in March 2007 and received compensation of $133,882, which equated to an annualized base salary of $170,000. During 2008, the annual base salary of Mr. Clayton increased to $181,050.

(5) Steven R. Brown began employment in January 2007 and received compensation of $147,083 (including a signing bonus of $15,000), which equated to an annualized base salary of $145,000. During 2008, the annual base salary of Mr. Brown increased to $168,000.

(6) Columns (e) and (f) represent the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the 2008, 2007 and 2006 fair value of the stock awards and option awards to purchase our common stock in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Under SEC rules relating to executive compensation disclosure, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service based vesting conditions. Fair values relating to share grants have been determined under SFAS 123R and were calculated using the common stock closing price on the date of grant and multiplying that price by the number of shares subject to the share grant. The equity-based compensation expense relating to the stock grants is recognized over the requisite service period of the grant. See “Grants in 2008 of Plan Based Awards” table below. For option awards, we utilize the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value on the date of the grant multiplied by the number of options subject to the option grants in accordance with SFAS 123R. The equity-based compensation expense relating to the stock option grants is recognized over the requisite service period of the grant. For information on the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock option grants, refer to Footnote 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as amended. These amounts reflect our accounting expense for these awards, and do not necessarily correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the executive officers. No stock option awards received by our named executives above were forfeited or cancelled during 2008.

(1) Represents the minimum, target, and maximum annual non-equity performance based bonus awards available to our named executive officers during 2008. The actual amounts earned with respect to these bonuses were zero as reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” for 2008 above under the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column. Bonus amounts were determined based upon the achievement of positive cash flow and operating profitability (calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). Since we did not achieve positive cash flow and operating profitability during 2008, a non-equity incentive plan bonus was not paid.

(2) On April 3, 2008, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors awarded Mr. Cook 100,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock. The stock option grant provided for 5,000 options to vest each three months until April 3, 2013.

(3) On May 13, 2008, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors awarded Mr. Clayton and Mr. Brown 75,000 options each to purchase shares of our common stock. The stock option grants provided for 3,750 options to vest each three months until May 13, 2013.

(4) On September 16, 2008, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors awarded Mr. Schwartz, Mr. Petersen, Mr. Clayton, and Mr. Brown as part of a general corporate award options to purchase shares of our common stock totaling 3,000, 3,000, 3,500, and 3,500, respectively. The stock option grants provided for 150,150,175 and 175 options, respectively, to vest each three months until September 16, 2013.

(5) On September 10, 2008, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors modified the post employment exercise terms of our outstanding inventive plan based options to extend the term of expiration of vested options after termination of employment from 90 days to a period determined based upon length of employment. Employees working between zero and two years may exercise vested options up to one year after termination of employment. For each year of employment in excess of two years, the employee may exercise vested options up to the same number of years that the employee was employed, rounded down to the nearest year. Because of this modification, we incurred additional equity based compensation expense for both vested and unvested options in accordance with SFAS 123(R) as presented in the table above.

Employment Contracts and Change in Control Arrangements

Except as indicated below, there are no employment contracts, compensatory plans or arrangements, including payments to be received from us, with respect to any director or executive officer that would in any way result in payments to any such person because of his or her resignation, retirement or other termination of employment with the Company or any subsidiary, any change in control of the Company, or a change in the person’s responsibilities following a change in control of the Company. All options will automatically vest in full upon a change in control of the Company as defined in the option agreements. If a change in control in our company had occurred as of December 31, 2008, 240,000 unvested options for Mr. Cook would have vested immediately; 92,850 unvested options for Mr. Schwartz would have vested immediately; 137,850 unvested options for Mr. Petersen would have vested immediately; 132,575 unvested options for Mr. Clayton would have vested immediately; and 103,325 unvested options for Mr. Brown would have vested immediately. In addition, upon the termination of employment of Mr. Cook, Mr. Schwartz, and Mr. Petersen, each of these executive officers is currently entitled to severance payments totaling $250,000 for Mr. Cook, $100,640 for Mr. Schwartz, and $96,200 for Mr. Petersen.

Employment Agreement with Patrick Schwartz

The original term of Mr. Schwartz’s agreement ended in June 2008. However, certain of the provisions of that agreement have been extended. Mr. Schwartz is an at-will employee entitled to an annual salary, incentive bonus with criteria established by the Compensation Committee, eligibility to receive additional options to purchase our common stock, severance pay totaling six months of salary and certain perquisites such as PTO and the ability to receive cash for unused PTO at each anniversary date.

Employment Agreement with Martin F. Petersen

Non-Competition and Confidentiality

Employees agree that for a period of two years after the termination of employment they will not directly compete with us or our business within the continental United States of America. The employees agree to hold in confidence for our benefit all secrets or confidential information, knowledge, or data relating to us or any of our affiliated companies or subsidiaries.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Compensation of the Chairman

Mr. Kraig T. Higginson has served as our Chairman and a director since 2003. In addition, Mr. Higginson served as our President from October 2003 to March 2004 and as our Chief Executive Officer from March 2004 to January 2005. Subsequent to January 2005, Mr. Higginson has continued to serve as a full time employee and has served as our Chairman. His duties as our employee consist primarily of providing support and advice to our executive officers as well as helping structure capital transactions and work with investors.

Because Mr. Higginson continues to serve as an employee, he does not receive any additional compensation for his services as a director. During 2008, Mr. Higginson received a salary of $180,000. Since inception of our Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan During 2008, Mr. Higginson has not received any share grants or stock option grants. Accordingly, Mr. Higginson did not have any outstanding equity awards at December 31, 2008.

Compensation of Other Directors

Consistent with similarly-sized public companies in similar industries, we offer compensation to the non-employee members of our Board of Directors. Directors who are our employees do not receive any fees for their services as directors. The Compensation Committee approved cash compensation for non-employee directors. The director compensation is based upon a review of compensation levels for outside directors at comparable, similarly-sized, public companies that occurred in 2006. Accordingly, based upon the review, each non-employee director receives an $8,000 annual retainer ($2,000 quarterly). Additionally, each non-employee

16

director receives annual Board meeting fees totaling $10,000 ($2,500 quarterly) and annual Committee fees totaling $15,000 ($3,750 quarterly). Mr. Markowitz receives an annual fee of $5,000 ($1,250 quarterly) in his capacity as the chairperson of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Herickhoff receives an annual fee of $5,000 ($1,250 quarterly) in his capacity as the chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee. Mr. Roeder receives an annual fee of $15,000 ($3,750 quarterly) in his capacity as chairperson of the Audit Committee.

Non-employee directors and employee directors are reimbursed for travel expenses for meetings attended.

On July 3, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a new compensation plan for our outside directors. The standard equity package pursuant to the new plan consists of common stock awards varying in quantity from year to year based upon the nominal fair value of $95,000 of the total shares granted as of the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders (each actual share award is rounded to the nearest round lot of 100 shares). Current outside directors are allowed to transition to the new compensation plan by making an election within 30 days of the plan’s adoption by the Compensation Committee or the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in subsequent years. Any director who elects to adopt the new plan will retain all options vested up to that point under previous compensation arrangements and forfeit all unvested options.

On December 1, 2008, the Board of Directors appointed Scott Doughman as a special advisor to the Company for a four month period ending March 31, 2009, to evaluate specific proposals for strategic transactions. Mr. Doughman was paid $10,000 per month and was granted 5,000 stock options vesting over a one year period and having a ten year term.

Director Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2008

The following table sets forth specified information regarding the compensation for 2008 of our non-employee directors. Our employee directors, Messrs. Brent M. Cook and Kraig T. Higginson, do not receive any compensation for their services as directors. Mr. Perriton did not receive any compensation for his service as a director during 2008.

(1) On May 28, 2008, Mr. Doughman received a stock award in accordance with the new compensation plan described above. Accordingly, Mr. Doughman was granted 9,500 shares that will vest and be delivered on May 28, 2009, one year after the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The fair value of the stock award was computed based upon the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date totaling $94,525. On December 5, 2008, Mr. Doughman was granted 5,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock. The strike price of the options was determined as the closing market price on the grant date, or $3.55 per share. The fair value of the 5,000 options on the grant date computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $14,438. The aggregate number of Mr. Doughman’s unexercised option awards outstanding at December 31, 2008 totaled 5,000.

(2) On May 28, 2008, Mr. Herickhoff received a stock award in accordance with the new compensation plan described above. Accordingly, Mr. Herickhoff was granted 9,500 shares that will vest and be delivered on May 28, 2009, one year after the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The fair value of the stock award was computed based upon the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date totaling $94,525. No options were granted to Mr. Herickhoff during 2008. The aggregate number of Mr. Herickhoff’s unexercised options at December 31, 2008 totaled 33,333.

(3) On May 28, 2008, Mr. Markowitz received a stock award in accordance with the new compensation plan described above. Accordingly, Mr. Markowitz was granted 9,500 shares that will vest and be delivered on May 28, 2009, one year after the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The fair value of the stock award was computed based upon the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date totaling $94,525. No options were granted to Mr. Markowitz during 2008. The aggregate number of Mr. Markowitz’s unexercised options at December 31, 2008 totaled 15,000.

(4) No shares or options were granted to Mr. Roeder during 2008. The aggregate number of Mr. Roeder’s unexercised options at December 31, 2008 totaled 100,000.

(5) No shares or options were granted to Mr. Perriton during 2008. The aggregate number of Mr. Perriton’s unexercised options at December 31, 2008 totaled 105,000.

(6) No shares or options were granted to Mr. Daniels during 2008. The aggregate number of Mr. Daniels’ unexercised options at December 31, 2008 totaled 100,000.

(7) On September 10, 2008, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors modified the post termination exercise terms of our outstanding incentive plan based options to extend the term of expiration of vested options after termination of service as a member of the Board of Directors from 90 days to a period determined based upon length of service. Directors who have served on the Board of Directors between zero and two years may exercise vested options up to one year after termination or resignation from the Board of Directors. For each year of service in excess of two years, the director may exercise vested options up to the same number of years that the director was a member of the Board of Directors, rounded down to the nearest year. Because of this modification, we incurred additional equity based compensation expense for both vested and unvested options in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) for Mr. Herickhoff totaling $4,077; Mr. Markowitz totaling $1,835; Mr. Roeder totaling $12,230; Mr. Perriton totaling $12,842; and Mr. Daniels totaling $12,230 as presented in the table above.

(8) Column (d) represents the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the 2008 fair value of the stock option awards to purchase our common stock in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Under SEC rules relating to executive compensation disclosure, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service based vesting conditions. Fair values relating to option awards are computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value on the date of the grant multiplied by the number of options subject to the option grants in accordance with SFAS 123R. The equity-based compensation expense relating to the stock option grants is recognized over the requisite service period of the grant. For information on the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock option grants, refer to Footnote 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as amended. These amounts reflect our accounting expense for these awards, and do not necessarily correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the executive officers. No stock option awards received by our directors above were forfeited or cancelled during 2008.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers and directors. The Compensation Committee consists of three independent directors, Mr. Markowitz (Chairman), Mr. Herickhoff, and Mr. Doughman. During 2008, Mr. Lee Daniels resigned as a member of the Board of Directors to accept a voluntary position as a Mission President for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Japan. At that time, Mr. Daniels also resigned his position as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. None of our executive officers serve as members of the Compensation Committee.

17

The Compensation Committee determines, approves and reports to the Board of Directors on all elements of compensation for our executive officers, including salaries, bonuses, stock option grants, and other benefits and compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee provides general oversight of our compensation structure and also has the authority to make grants under and otherwise administer our equity compensation plans.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No interlocking relationship exists between any member of the Compensation Committee and any member of any other company’s board of directors or compensation committee.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the foregoing compensation discussion and analysis with management. Based upon our review and discussions, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the compensation discussion and analysis be included in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.

The following tables set forth, as of March 31, 2009, certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) each person or entity who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each of our named executive officers, and (iv) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.

In March 2004, our Board of Directors adopted the Raser Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and in May 2004, our board recommended and our stockholders approved the Plan. The Plan was adopted to facilitate (1) grants of a wider range of stock incentive awards, including restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance units, (2) an automatic annual increase to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan beginning in 2005 equal to the lesser of 1,750,000 shares of common stock, 3% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the first day of each fiscal year, or an amount determined by the Board of Directors, and (3) optional automatic, nondiscretionary annual stock option grants for employees and non-employee directors. As of December 31, 2008, we were authorized to issue up to 7,943,173 shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan.

From time to time, the Board of Directors approves, based upon the recommendation of management, the issuance of warrants or other securities to vendors, service providers, or individual participants in approved company financings as equity compensation. On January 16, 2008, we granted to Merrill Lynch warrants to purchase up to 3,700,000 shares of our common stock, subject to vesting requirements associated with the financing of our geothermal power plants. The warrants vest and become exercisable in increments over the term of the Commitment Letter based on the actual funding provided. On September 8, 2008, warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of our common stock vested in connection with the closing of the project financing arrangements for the Thermo No. 1 project. These warrants are immediately exercisable and have a current exercise price of $13.24.

On November 14, 2008, in connection with our $20.0 million equity financing with Fletcher International, Ltd., we issued warrants to Fletcher International, Ltd. to acquire shares of our common stock in an aggregate value of up to $20.0 million that may not exceed 7,458,532 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of the lesser of (a) $6.00 per share or (b) the 40 day volume weighted-average price, less $.60 per share.

ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

From inception to December 31, 2008, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,693,000 shares of our common stock to individuals that currently serve as our named executive officers and directors. Such options were granted at exercise prices ranging from $3.55 to $25.95 per share, in each case reflecting the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant. 156,667 of the options have been forfeited by the directors who chose to participate in the new director compensation plan effective July 3, 2006. No options awarded to current named executive officers and directors have been exercised as of December 31, 2008.

From inception to December 31, 2008 we granted 75,100 shares of our common stock to our current named executive officers and directors. Of those shares granted, as of December 31, 2008, 46,600 shares have been issued and delivered, and are included in the total shares outstanding.

A “related party transaction” is a transaction between Raser and (i) any person that is a beneficial holder of 5% or more of the Company’s common stock or any person who is a director, officer or employee of Raser or (ii) any person or entity that is a related party to a person who is a director, officer or employee of Raser. For purposes of this policy, officers shall be defined as “Executive Officers” under applicable SEC rules and regulations. As described in our corporate code of ethics, the Company generally prohibits all related party transactions unless the Board of Directors or a related subcommittee determines, in advance, that there is a compelling business reason to enter into such a transaction. Board of Director or related subcommittee approvals are documented in the minutes to the applicable meeting.

Kevin Kerlin, the son of Jack Kerlin, a beneficial holder of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, was an employee of our Company and was terminated in 2008. Upon termination, he exercised his remaining 40,000 options at $3.65 per share or $146,000.

On November 13, 2008, we entered into an agreement (the “Fletcher Agreement”) with Fletcher International, Ltd. (“selling security holder”). Pursuant to the terms of the Fletcher Agreement, on November 14, 2008, the selling security holder purchased 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a fixed price of $5.00 per share and, on December 12, 2008, purchased 2,360,417 shares of our common stock for $4.23654 per share, which is a price per share equal to $10,000,000 divided by 110% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price on the NYSE Arca exchange for the common stock for the ten business days ending on and including December 11, 2008. The gross proceeds from the closing of the November 14, 2008 and December 12, 2008 private placement transactions were $20,000,000, before deducting fees and commissions. In connection with our $20.0 million equity financing with Fletcher International, Ltd., we issued warrants to Fletcher International, Ltd. to acquire shares of our common stock in an aggregate value of up to $20.0 million that may not exceed of 7,458,532 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of the lesser of (a) $6.00 per share or (b) the 40 day volume weighted-average price, less $.60 per share. At March 31, 2009, 6,219,830 warrants were exercisable at an exercise price equal to the 40 day volume weighted-average price, less $.60 per share, which equaled $3.22.

Under the Fletcher Agreement, we are required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the shares of common stock acquired by the purchaser. Although we timely filed that registration statement, we will not be in a position to have that registration statement declared effective by the SEC until the SEC staff has completed its review of our filings. We are required to make a cash payment of $200,000 to the purchaser each month until the registration statement is declared effective up to a maximum of $2,000,000. As of December 31, 2008, we had accrued for a total of $800,000 pursuant to these provisions.

On January 27, 2009, we entered into an Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement and Promissory Note (the “Line of Credit”), among Radion Energy, LLC (“Radion”), Ocean Fund, LLC (“Ocean Fund”), Primary Colors, LLC (“Primary Colors”) and R. Thomas Bailey, an individual (collectively, the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Line of Credit, we may borrow up to $15.0 million, subject to the final approval of each advance by the Lenders. Radion committed $7.2 million and is controlled by our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Kraig Higginson. Ocean Fund committed $5.3 million and is controlled by Mr. Warner, a 5% beneficial owner.

We obtained the line of credit in order to provide working capital for general corporate purposes. We expect that borrowings under the line of credit will be repaid primarily with proceeds from other financing arrangements we intend to secure in connection with the development of our geothermal power projects. Under the Line of Credit, advances are subject to the final approval of the Lenders, and amounts borrowed under the line of credit accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Unless the Lenders agree to a later date, the line of credit will mature and amounts borrowed must be repaid by November 15, 2009 or earlier if certain financing arrangements for the development of our geothermal power projects are completed and placed in service.

21

Under the Line of Credit, each Lender receives warrants (the “Warrant”) to purchase our common stock for each advance of funds made under the Line of Credit. The number of shares underlying each Warrant is equal to 50% of the total amounts funded by the applicable Lender divided by the closing price of our common stock on the date of the advance. The Warrants will have an exercise price of $6.00 per share.

As of March 31, 2009, we had borrowed $3.3 million from Radion under the line of credit. Interest payable on the amount borrowed totals $13,600. Accordingly, Radion has received approximately 461,000 warrants to purchase our common stock at a strike price of $6.00 per share as a result of the amount borrowed.

Director Independence

We are committed to having sound corporate governance principles. Having such principles is essential to running our business efficiently and to maintaining our integrity in the marketplace.

Board Structure and Committee Composition

As of December 31, 2009, our Board of Directors is comprised of seven (7) directors and maintains the following three standing committees: Audit Committee; Compensation Committee; and Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that each of our five non-employee directors has no material relationship with the Company and is independent within the meaning of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards and the rules of the SEC. The membership of each board member as of December 31, 2008 and the standing committees are described below.
