AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS FIRST AMENDED AT WILL EMPLOYMENT,
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, INVENTION ASSIGNMENT, NONCOMPETITION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (the “First Amended Agreement”) is made as of this 29th day of July 2005, between RASER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“Company”) and William Dwyer,
(“Employee”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 WHEREAS, Company and Employee entered into a certain At Will Employment,
Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, Noncompetition and Arbitration Agreement (the “Agreement”) on July 8, 2004, that the parties now desire to mutually amend in this First Amended Agreement as set forth below; 

 
 WHEREAS, Employee and Company desire to further delay the vesting of
certain shares until the earlier of a Secondary Public Offering, as defined below, or February 1, 2006; and 
  
 WHERAS, Employee has consented to be bound by a Non-Compete Agreement with Company; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in view of the foregoing recitals which are incorporated as a part of this First Amended Agreement, and in
consideration of the terms and conditions of this First Amended Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
  

	 	6.	Paragraph 10 of the Agreement is amended as follows: 

  
 Subject to Paragraph 2 below, from the date of this Amended Agreement all shares to be issued to Employee under the Agreement shall be modified from an
issuance of Restricted Shares outside of the Company’s 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, to an issuance of Registered Shares within the Company’s 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan as pre-approved by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. For so long as Employee remains an officer of the Company, without limitation, all common shares granted to Employee shall continue to be subject to rules and regulations affecting officers of public companies with respect to
common share ownership. 
  

	 	7.	Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is amended as follows: 

  
 Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is amended to delay vesting of 100,000 shares that would issue on August 1, 2005, as follows, 25,000 restricted shares
to issue on August 17, 2005, 75,000 registered shares that would issue on August 1, 2005, under the Agreement, to the earlier of February 1, 2006 or immediately prior to the closing of an offer to sell common shares in a Secondary

Public Offering is not consummated prior to February 1, 2006, Company shall issue Net Shares to Employee. Issuance of Net Shares is defined as issuance of common shares of the Company to the Employee, less the common shares, the value of which
is equivalent to the withholding and payroll taxes that 











	 	 
Employee would otherwise be required to pay upon the receipt of the grant if not for the issuance of Net Shares. 


  

	 	9.	In consideration of the rights and privileges granted to Employee in this Amended Agreement, Employee shall enter into a Non-Compete Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.


  

	 	10.	All other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent any provisions of the Agreement conflict with the provisions of this First Amended
Agreement, this First Amended Agreement shall govern. 

  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Company and Employee have executed this First Amended Agreement effective as of the date first set forth above.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in view of the foregoing recitals and in consideration of Employee’s employment by Company, and the promises contained herein, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 







 ARTICLE I 
  
 COVENANT NOT TO DISCLOSE 
  
 During the period of employment with Company and at all times thereafter, regardless of the basis for termination, Employee covenants and agrees that
Employee will not disclose, divulge or communicate to any person or entity, for any purpose or reason whatsoever, any confidential information or trade secrets of Company, including without limitation, the Protected Information, and other technical
data. Employee shall not, after termination of employment with Company, retain any copies of the Protected Information or other confidential information and shall either destroy any such information or return it to Company. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
  
 COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE 
  
 2.1 No Competition. During the period of employment with Company and for a period of one year thereafter, Employee agrees that within the
geographical area of the 50 states of the United States of America, Employee will not directly or indirectly engage in, assist, perform services for, establish or open, or have any material interest in (10% or more) any firm, or entity (whether as
an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or otherwise) that engages in any activity which is directly competitive with the business of Company, including any sales, research, development, or marketing, where Company, at the time of
Employee’s termination, was engaged in the sales, research, development, or marketing and/or providing of directly competitive services and/or products. 
  
 This covenant shall not be construed as restricting Employee’s right to own or hold shares in any company or business entity wherein Employee’s
ownership is not so significant that Employee participates in any way in the management of such business entity and which compete in the manner described above. 
  

2.2 No Contact or Solicitation. Employee covenants and agrees that during the period of employment with Company and for a period of one year
thereafter, Employee will not directly or indirectly (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or otherwise) contact or solicit from any customer or former customers of Company nor any other referring sources for customers used
by Company, for any purpose which is the same as, similar to or competitive with the business of Company, including any sales, research, development, or marketing, where Company, at the time of Employee’s termination, was engaged in the sales,
research, development, or marketing and/or providing of the same or similar services and/or products, regardless of geographical area. Employee will not directly or indirectly induce or attempt to induce any customer, former customer or professional
references and referral sources of Company to reduce the level of business with or to cease or refrain from doing business with Company, or in any way to interfere or attempt to interfere with business or professional relationships between Company,
its affiliates and any such persons. 
  
 2.3 No Services for
Customers. Employee covenants and agrees that during the period of employment with Company and for a period of one year thereafter, Employee will not directly or indirectly (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or
otherwise) become employed with, provide services for, or consult with any customer or former customer of Company or family members of such customer or with any professional referral source of Company, where the purpose of such employment, services
or consultation is to provide services or sales which are directly competitive with the services of Company by Employee to such customer or former customer; nor will Employee otherwise engage in the providing of services which are competitive with
Company to any customer or former customer of Company. 







 2.4 No Solicitation of Employees. Employee covenants and agrees that during the period of
employment with Company and for a period of one year thereafter, Employee will not directly or indirectly (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or otherwise) induce or attempt to induce, proselyte, or hire for any purpose any
of the employees or agents of Company, and shall not attempt to alienate any such persons from Company, or otherwise attempt to interfere with the relationship between Company and any such persons. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 DELETED IN ORIGINAL 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
  
 BREACH 
  
 The parties hereto recognize that irreparable injury will result to Company, its business and property in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Employee, and that this Agreement is an inducement to Company to hire or to retain the
services of Employee. It is hereby agreed that in the event of breach, Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, to an injunction to restrain the violation thereof by Employee, Employee’s partners,
agents, employers, and employees, and all other persons acting for or in concert with Employee. No action hereunder by Company shall constitute an election by Company to forego other remedies and Company shall have the right to assert other claims
and remedies, including all other remedies available at equity or law. 
  
 In the event of termination of Employee’s employment for any cause whatsoever, and in the event of the restraint of Employee’s activities pursuant to the remedies granted herein, Employee’s experiences and capabilities are
such that Employee represents that Employee can obtain employment in the business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature or in other geographic areas, and that the enforcement of a remedy by way of injunction will not prevent Employee
from earning a livelihood. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 5.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Utah in all respects. 
  
 5.2 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes all prior agreements whether written or oral. 
  
 5.3 Litigation Expenses. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought by a party hereto with respect to a matter or matters covered by this
Agreement, all costs and expenses of the substantially prevailing party to such proceeding, including reasonable attorney fees, shall be paid by the non-prevailing party. 
  
 5.4 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not invalidate or
affect the remainder which shall continue to govern the relative rights and duties of the parties as though the invalid or unenforceable provision were not a part hereof. It is acknowledged that each and every covenant provided herein is a separate
and distinct covenant.
