Summary

Raser Technologies, Amp Resources, Power Acquisition Corp., and the Equityholder Representative have agreed to amend their original acquisition agreement. The amendment extends certain key dates to June 15, 2006, and provides that Raser Technologies will offer up to $6 million in interim financing to Amp Resources for working capital needs until that date. The terms of this financing are similar to a previous promissory note, with specific repayment priorities if the agreement is terminated after June 15, 2006. All parties have signed to confirm these changes.

Parent, Target, Merger Sub and Equityholder Representative (collectively, the “Parties”) previously entered into the Agreement, and the Parties now desire to amend the Agreement as set forth herein. Section 8.5 of the Agreement provides that the Agreement may be amended by execution of a written instrument signed on behalf of each of the Parties. In consideration of the covenants, promises and other premises set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Section 8.1(b) of the Agreement is amended such that references to the dates “April 23, 2006” and “May 31, 2006” referred to therein shall be replaced with “June 15, 2006.”

2. Parent agrees to provide to Target up to $6 million in financing to fund the working capital needs of Target through June 15, 2006 (the “Interim Financing”). The Interim Financing shall be on terms to be mutually agreed upon by Parent and Target but in any event shall be on substantially the same terms as the that certain promissory note dated April 6, 2006 issued by Target to Parent and described in Parent’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2006, except that if Target terminates the Agreement for any reason, including without limitation pursuant to Section 8.1(b) of the Agreement, as amended, following June 15, 2006, then 50% of the outstanding Interim Financing shall be senior to any indebtedness owed by Target to Amp Capital Partners, LLC and 50% of the outstanding amount of Interim Financing shall be pari passu to any indebtedness owed by Target to Amp Capital Partners, LLC.
