In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the Board of Directors slate of recommended director

| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | demonstrated financial and business expertise and experience;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria
and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for each prospective nominee. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant breadth of experience, knowledge and abilities that
will allow our Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider
director candidates recommended by stockholders or groups of stockholders who have owned more than 5% of our common stock for at least a year as of the date the recommendation is made. Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials and a statement as to whether the stockholder or group of
stockholders making the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of our common stock for at least a year as of the date such recommendation is made, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary,
Environmental Power Corporation, 120 White Plains Road, 6th Floor, Tarrytown, New York 10591. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended
candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
requires our directors, executive officers and the holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership of our common stock and other equity securities on a Form 3 and reports of changes in such ownership on
a Form 4 or Form 5. Officers, directors and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to
us for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the information provided to us by those persons required to file such reports, no such person failed to file the forms required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on a timely basis, except as
follows:

INFORMATION ABOUT
EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This compensation discussion describes the material elements of compensation for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, that was awarded to,
earned by, or paid to each of our current and former executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table below as our named executive officers. This compensation discussion primarily focuses on the last completed fiscal year, but we also
describe certain compensation actions taken before or after the last completed fiscal year to enhance the understanding of this disclosure.

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors oversees our executive compensation program. In this role, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves, or recommends for approval by the full Board, all compensation decisions
relating to our executive officers. The Committee also oversees our stock-based compensation plans and programs.

Objectives and Philosophy of Our
Executive Compensation Program

The objective of our executive compensation program is to align the interests of management with the
interests of stockholders by tying a substantial portion of overall compensation opportunities provided to executive officers to the achievement of business objectives and individual performance. Our policy is to offer competitive compensation
packages that will permit us to attract and retain individuals with superior abilities, and to motivate and reward such individuals on the basis of corporate performance in an appropriate fashion that is in the long-term interests of Environmental
Power and its stockholders.

Our company continues to develop. As it does, we have been working to develop formal criteria and programs to
reward executive officers based upon an assessment of corporate, business-unit and individual performance. As a result of these efforts, in March 2008, our Compensation Committee adopted our Annual Incentive Management Plan and our Long-Term
Incentive Plan, in which our executive officers participate, in addition to various other compensation plans for other employees other than our executive officers. The Annual Incentive Management Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan are described
in more detail below. Pursuant to these plans, we expect to evaluate corporate- and business unit-performance by reviewing the extent to which strategic and business-plan goals are met, including such factors as maintaining capital and operating
budgets and timely accomplishment of business-development objectives, as applicable. We expect to evaluate individual performance by reviewing attainment of specified personal objectives and the degree to which teamwork and our other values are
fostered.

As a result of our recent efforts to formalize compensation practices, we have committed to the following compensation
philosophy, to the extent consistent with financial resources:



| |  |  | We will strive to provide competitive compensation programs that will help to attract highly qualified individuals necessary to grow our company, and then to retain
and motivate these individuals to achieve higher levels of performance.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Compensation programs will emphasize a pay-for-performance concept, in which an individuals future compensation growth and career advancement are
dependent upon maintaining and exceeding our recognized levels of quality and performance while supporting our strategic goals. Future monetary growth is dependent upon company performance as well as individual performance.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We will provide a compensation package consisting of base salary, incentives, and benefits that are consistent with similar positions in recognized competitors and
start-up/growth companies, with each component addressing individual, team and company performance, competitive conditions and our

| | overall financial performance. Our goal is to attract the most qualified applicants to fuel our growth. Future salary increases will be based on an
individuals evaluated performance against pre-established objectives, as well as our performance and ability to pay.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Base salary programs will be will be targeted at market (50th percentile), and total cash compensation will be targeted aggressive to market
(up to the 75th percentile) in order to recognize our employees direct impact on our business goals.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our core belief is that the opportunity to earn competitive incentives will help drive the focus of business. Competitive incentive compensation will be based upon
the achievement of expected performance targets, with upside potential tied to exceptional contribution and surpassing goals. Measurable performance goals and objectives will be developed by our executive management team and approved by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consistent with our identified business strategies and financial objectives.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We will provide a quality and supportive work environment with challenging career opportunities and the necessary resources to enhance growth in order to attract,
retain, and motivate a highly qualified and experienced staff. Compensation programs shall encourage employees to maximize their capabilities through personal growth and job development in order to foster a culture that is team focused and rewards
both individual and business success.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This compensation philosophy will apply to all employees, including our executive
officers. We believe that this compensation philosophy will serve as the basis for the development of new or modified compensation programs and will be used as a tool to help meet identified needs relating to motivation and retention. In practice,
we expect that the implementation of this philosophy will have the following implications:



| |  |  | The marketplace must be considered with regard to establishing competitive compensation levels, including base salary, benefits and incentives. See the discussion
under Comparative Compensation Review Process and Benchmarking, below.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Employees should have the ability to earn total cash compensation above market levels based on exceptional performance. Incentive payouts, where applicable, must be
determined in a manner that is ethical, and is reflective of performance achieved against objective measures.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We must develop and maintain clear salary administration plan documents to ensure the consistent and proper application of all programs.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Except for contractual obligations, performance should be the primary determinant of salary increases and incentive bonuses. Increases should be based on objective,
quantifiable performance measures, where possible, with a minor portion based on discretionary factors so that subjectivity is limited.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Only those employees whose performance meets acceptable standards will receive increases, and the size of the increase will be dependent upon the individuals
evaluated performance.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Specific, measurable performance criteria for each job must be set on an annual basis, consistent with our strategic corporate objectives, and the achievement of
results for each criteria must be tracked, in order to improve accountability for end results due to the individuals ability to directly affect the amount of his/her salary increases.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A formal performance appraisal tool must be maintained that offers uniform, dependable evaluations that outline the desired performance expectations and accurately
reflects each employees contribution and performance, and which is monitored to make sure the program is consistently applied and equitable to all employees.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Management must be regularly trained in the use of the performance evaluation program and be held accountable for completing evaluations both accurately and on a
timely basis.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comparative Compensation Review Process and Benchmarking

We do not believe that compensation levels should be controlled by benchmarking. However, we believe that information regarding pay practices at other
companies is useful in two respects. First, our compensation practices need to be competitive in the marketplace. Second, marketplace information is one of the many factors that we consider in assessing the reasonableness of compensation.
Accordingly, from time to time we have compared our compensation packagesincluding levels, components, and mix of compensation typeswith those of other companies in the alternative energy industry, through reviews of survey data and
information gleaned from filings of publicly traded companies and through information compiled and analyzed by others. Going forward, we intend to compare the compensation of our employees to the marketplace within two specific peer groups:
alternative energy, energy development and production and water/wastewater treatment companies and start-up and emerging bio-technology companies, and to perform these comparisons at least every two or three years. In addition, we intend to identify
a peer group and maintain updated job descriptions for each unique job in order to benchmark positions appropriately.

While such
information may be a useful guide for comparative purposes, we believe that a successful compensation program also requires the application of judgment and subjective determinations of individual performance. Review of this information and these
factors forms the basis of managements compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee and the Committees decision-making.

Use of Consultants

The Compensation Committees charter grants it the authority to retain outside advisors,
including compensation consultants, and approve their compensation. Environmental Power is obligated to pay the Compensation Committees advisors and consultants. Although management is involved in coordinating with these advisors with respect
to the provision of their services, these advisors and consultants report directly to the Compensation Committee. With respect to non-employee director compensation, the full Board of Directors has acted directly.

Thus, in 2007, the Compensation Committee and management sought the advice of outside counsel and also engaged Brian Foley & Company, Inc., an
independent executive compensation consulting firm, to advise the Committee on certain matters relating to stock-based compensation. Also in 2007, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee engaged Heidrick & Struggles, a leading
executive search firm, to assist it in evaluating best practices for corporate governance, including such matters as board composition, director stock ownership guidelines and related matters.

In February 2008, the Compensation Committee engaged Harry Schum, an independent compensation consultant, to assist the Compensation Committee and
management in the formulation of more formal incentive compensation programs for our executive officers as well as all other full-time employees.

Elements of Executive Compensation

Compensation for our executives has generally consisted
of the following elements:



| |  |  | base salary;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | bonuses;
| | - |  | --------



| |  |  | long-term incentive compensation via stock-based awards;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | health, dental, life and disability insurance and other traditional employee benefits, and executive perquisites; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | severance and change-in-control arrangements.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Historically, we have not had any formal policy or target for allocating compensation between long-term
and short-term compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation or among the different forms of non-cash compensation. Instead, the Compensation Committee, with input as requested from senior management, has determined subjectively what it
believes to be the appropriate level and mix of the various compensation components. The mix of compensation has also been impacted in many cases by the course of negotiations with the executive in question in connection with his hiring. Ultimately,
the Compensation Committees objective in allocating between annual and long-term compensation opportunities is to ensure adequate base compensation to attract and retain personnel, while providing incentives to maximize long-term value for our
Company and its stockholders. Therefore, we have provided cash compensation in the form of base salary to meet estimated competitive salary norms and, to the extent our cash position has permitted, have rewarded individual performance on an annual
basis in the form of bonus compensation. We provide non-cash compensation, principally in the form of equity-based grants such as stock options and, more recently, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards, which are intended to create
incentives for the achievement both of specific objectives and/or long-term strategic goals.

In March 2008 the Compensation Committee,
acting upon the recommendations of management and Mr. Schum, adopted the compensation philosophy described above. In addition, as part of its effort to formalize our compensation practices generally, including with respect to our executives,
the Compensation Committee adopted our Annual Incentive Management Plan and Long-Term Incentive Plan.

The purpose of the Annual Incentive
Management Plan is to align the interests of management with corporate performance goals by focusing management on the achievement of annual financial and operational objectives with competitive financial incentives. Full-time employees not
participating in other incentive programs will be eligible under the plan, with the extent of participation to be determined by position in our company. Pursuant to the plan, the board of directors, in cooperation with our executive team, will set
annual corporate financial objectives. Individual performance will also be considered, and threshold and maximum levels of performance will also be set. Under the plan, our Chief Executive Officer will have a target award of 50% of base salary;
other executive officers will have target awards of 35% of base salary. Our Chief Executive Officers award will be based 100% on the achievement of corporate goals; the other executive officers awards will be based 75% on the achievement
of corporate goals, and 25% on individual performance. Particular corporate objectives will be assigned a relative weight, as may also be the case with individual performance goals. Awards under the plan will be based on the overall level of
achievement of both corporate and individual goals, and will be paid following the audit of year-end financials. Participants in the plan must be employed at the time of payout to receive an award. The plan can be modified or terminated at any time,
is strictly a guideline, and is not binding on us. The Compensation Committee will determine awards to our Chief Executive Officer and other executives.

The Long-Term Incentive Plan was adopted pursuant to the Compensation Committees discretion under our existing 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, to set the terms and amounts of awards
under such plans, subject to the limitations set forth in such plans. The purpose of this plan is to provide a long-term incentive plan based on the financial growth of our company, to foster teamwork and an entrepreneurial spirit among participants
and to provide a long-term compensation tool to motivate, reward and retain participants. Our Chief Executive Officer, our other executive officers and those additional persons designed by our Chief Executive Officer, are eligible to participate in
the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Awards pursuant to the plan are expected to be made annually, and may be a combination of different long-term vehicles, including restricted stock awards, incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights, based
upon guidelines considered by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis. Such awards will be made under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan or 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, and awards pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan will be subject to the
terms the equity incentive plan under which they are granted, including any limitations on awards set forth therein. Awards pursuant to the plan generally will vest in three substantially equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary
of the grant date. The value of such awards will be determined based on the fair market value at the time of grant, utilizing a modified Black-Scholes methodology where appropriate. The target value

##### Table of Contents

of each annual award (as a percentage of base salary) will be established by the Compensation Committee for our Chief Executive Officer, will be 30% for the
other executive officers, and will be discretionary for any other employees designated for participation in the plan by our Chief Executive Officer. All awards will vest in full upon the death of total disability of a participant, or upon a change
in control of our company, and will be forfeited, whether or not vested, upon any termination for cause. Awards vesting upon death or disability are to be paid or exercised within 12 months following such event. The Long-Term Incentive Plan can be
modified or terminated at any time, is strictly a guideline, and is not binding on us. The Compensation Committee will determine awards to our Chief Executive Officer and other executives.

Base Salary.Salary for our executives is generally set by reviewing compensation levels for comparable positions in the market, as described
above, and the historical compensation levels of our executives. Salaries may then be adjusted from time to time, based upon market changes, actual corporate and individual performance and promotions or changes in responsibilities. Base salaries and
other elements of compensation may also be mandated by the terms of employment and other agreements entered into with our executives, as described under Information about Executive and Director CompensationEmployment and Severance
Agreements. In such cases, base salaries have at first been determined by arms-length negotiations with these executives, generally in connection with their initial hiring. Going forward, we will continue to seek to set salaries that are
competitive with the marketplace, recognizing the skill and experience of each executive, his or her level of performance, and his or her responsibilities as compared to similarly situated employees at competing firms. While it will be our primary
objective to offer and maintain base salaries that are competitive with the marketplace, we will reserve the right to pay premium base salaries to secure the services of individuals with certain skill sets or to fill positions in key markets that
are vital to our business objectives.

Bonuses. Bonuses, as well as any annual increases in salaries, are expected to be based on
actual corporate and individual performance compared to targeted performance criteria and various subjective performance criteria. Given what we believe are competitive base salaries, as well as our stage of development and cash position, we
generally have not paid cash bonuses to our top executives from 2002 through 2006. We did, however, pay bonuses to our executives in respect of 2007, based on their individual performance. We have not yet determined what bonuses, if any, will be
paid in respect of 2008. Going forward, we expect to pay bonuses based upon criteria and corporate and individual performance goals established in accordance with the Annual Incentive Management Plan described above, subject to the availability of
cash resources to do so. The objective of the Annual Incentive Management Plan will be to:



| |  |  | reward participants for achievement of short term financial and operating plan business goals;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establish goals that are challenging but attainable and linked to corporate, division and individual objectives based on the ability of the participant to influence
results;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | leverage award opportunities to incent over-achievement of the operating plan objectives; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide competitive cash opportunity versus the marketplace
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

We intend to communicate the annual incentive opportunities under this plan, and the accomplishments necessary to achieve these incentives, to each participating employee early in each plan year. Notwithstanding the adoption of the Annual
Incentive Management Plan in early 2008, while specific performance goals for 2008 were initially identified, the goal setting process was hampered by quickly changing circumstances and deteriorating financial market conditions, which
resulted in a shift in the Companys priorities. As a result, specific performance goals for 2008 were not finalized.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation via Stock-Based Awards. Compensation for executive officers also includes the long-term incentives afforded by stock options and other equity-based awards. Our stock option and equity-based award
program is designed to align the long-term interests of our employees and our stockholders and assist in the retention of executives. The size of stock-based awards is generally intended to reflect the executives position and the
executives expected contributions. In 2008, we made stock-based awards in

##### Table of Contents

accordance with the terms of the Long-Term Incentive Plan described above. This compensation plan is designed to accomplish several objectives:



| |  |  | focus participants on the strategic plan performance objectives that are critical to the success of the company over a three-year period, which objectives are
linked to the achievement of business and financial goals that are designed to create value for shareholders;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | encourage retention of participants through reward opportunities that require continued service; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | encourage teamwork and one company focus by employees regardless of their business unit and reward sustained contribution for attainment of strategic
objectives.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As this plan is based on total company strategic results, the participation is limited to those whose actions play a direct
role in the long-term success of the company, including our executive officer and others designated by our Chief Executive Officer.

Insurance, Other Employee Benefits and Perquisites. We maintain broad-based benefits and perquisites that are provided to all employees, including health insurance, life and disability insurance, dental insurance and a 401(k) plan.
Under our 401(k) plan, so long as the employee is employed through the last day of the year in question, we generally make a matching 401(k) contribution of 50% of the employees contribution, up to 6% of the employees salary for the
year, with a maximum matching contribution of $7,500. In addition, we provide certain perquisites to executives, which are generally detailed in their employment agreements or offer letters. Going forward, we expect to offer supplemental benefits
and perquisites to designated executives, which supplement broad-based benefit programs. The objectives of this supplemental benefits and perquisites program will be to:



| |  |  | Provide executives with competitive benefits and perquisites versus the marketplace;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Replace benefits that are restricted due to ERISA and/or Internal Revenue Code limitations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Attract and retain experienced senior executives;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Assist executives in accomplishing job responsibilities; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Supplement executives retirement benefits.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements.Compensation for executive officers also includes severance and change-in-control arrangements, which are generally reflected in the employment agreements for such
officers. These arrangements, like other elements of executive compensation, are structured with regard to practices at comparable companies for similarly-situated officers and in a manner we believe is likely to attract and retain high quality
executive talent. Changes to existing severance arrangements are also sometimes negotiated with departing executives in exchange for transition services and/or general releases. The severance and change-in-control arrangements currently in place
with our current executive officers are described in greater detail in this section under the headings Employment and Severance Arrangements, Summary of Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control and
Summary of Actual Payments Upon Termination of Employment.

Other Corporate Policies Relating to Executive Compensation

Role of Executive Officers in Determining or Recommending Executive and Director Compensation. Management plays an important role in
support of the Compensation Committees determination of executive compensation. The most significant aspects of managements role are:



| |  |  | evaluating key-employee performance;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | recommending business performance targets and objectives; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recommending salary levels and stock-based awards.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Our President and Chief Executive Officer assists the chair of the Compensation Committee in establishing
the agenda for Committee meetings. Management also prepares meeting information for each Compensation Committee meeting. At the Committees request, our President and Chief Executive Officer also participates in Compensation Committee meetings
to provide input if and as sought by the Committee, including but not limited to:



| |  |  | background information regarding our strategic objectives and progress toward the attainment of those objectives;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | information on the performance of the senior executive officers; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compensation recommendations as to senior executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ultimately, however, all executive compensation decisions are made, or recommended to the Board of Directors, by the Compensation Committee, which makes
such decisions and recommendations after considering managements recommendations, available market data, and, in some cases, input from outside advisors to the Committee. In doing so the Committee engages in deliberations in executive session
without the presence of the Chief Executive Officer or any other members of management.

The forms and amounts of non-employee director
compensation in 2008 were unchanged from those set in 2007, which were determined by the full Board of Directors following a review of data provided by Heidrick & Struggles, as described above. However, in September 2008, the Board
unanimously directed management to defer payment of cash compensation due to Board members until further notice, in order to conserve cash. We have been accruing these amounts as they become due.

Impact of Tax Treatment on Compensation Decisions. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally disallows a tax
deduction for compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to our chief executive officer and our four other most highly paid executive officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limitation if
specified requirements are met. We periodically review the potential consequences of Section 162(m) and generally intend to structure our executive compensation to comply with Section 162(m). However, the Compensation Committee may, in its
judgment, authorize compensation payments that do not comply with the exemptions in Section 162(m) when it believes that such payments are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent.

Security Ownership Requirements or Guidelines.While we believe it is important for our executives to have an equity stake in our company in order
to help align their interests with those of our stockholders, we do not have any equity ownership guidelines for our executive officers, other than as contemplated by the Long-Term Incentive Plan. We also do not have any equity ownership guidelines
for our non-employee directors. However, board members and executive officers are encouraged to acquire, during open trading windows, shares of our common stock to the extent consistent with their individual economic circumstances, and directors and
executive officers have done so.

Discussion of Specific Compensation Arrangements for 2008

On June 3, 2008, the Compensation Committee approved the following compensation arrangements with our executive officers:

Changes to Base Salaries; Bonuses

The Compensation Committee approved the following changes to base salaries for the following executive officers, retroactive to May 1, 2008:



|                                                                               |  |                 |         |                 |   |        
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |  | --------------- | ------- | --------------- | - | -------
|Name and Title                                                                 |  | Old Base Salary |         | New Base Salary
|Richard E. Kessel President and Chief Executive Officer                        |  | $               | 300,000 |                 | $ | 318,800
|                                                                               |  |                
|Michael E. Thomas Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer |  | $               | 220,000 |                 | $ | 227,700
|                                                                               |  |                
|Dennis Haines Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary                    |  | $               | 210,000 |                 | $ | 221,000

The foregoing changes were based upon the factors and compensation philosophy described above. In
particular, the Compensation Committee considered it important to recognize the contributions of the executive team collectively in addressing the array of complex commercial and financial matters facing our company and to remain competitive with
other organizations. For base pay, an annualized growth-rate of 3.5%, adjusted depending upon start-dates, was selected for uniform application after input from Mr. Schum and discussions among the Chief Executive Officer and Compensation
Committee members.

In the case of each executive officer, the terms of employment do not specify an assured bonus-amount. The bonus for
Mr. Kessel was thus set by the Compensation Committee after receiving input from the full Board, and the bonuses for the other executive officers were determined by the Compensation Committee following discussions with Mr. Kessel. Factors
influencing the bonus awarded to Mr. Kessel included his and the companys performance in 2007, Mr. Kessels then-recently expired options and plans for replacing that equity component of his compensation. It was the sense of the
Board and the Compensation Committee that Mr. Kessels bonus should reflect the Boards appreciation for and satisfaction with his service, but should also take into account the equity component of his compensation.

Option Grants

The
Compensation Committee approved the following options grants under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, each of which has an exercise price of $5.52 per share, the closing price of the our common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Capital Market on the date
of grant, which the Compensation Committee determined to be the fair market value of a share of the our common stock on the date of grant:



|                  |  |                  |  |

|Richard E. Kessel |  | 150,000          |  | - 75,000 shares vested immediately- 75,000 shares vesting on December 31, 2008

|Dennis Haines     |  | 25,000           |  | - 12,500 shares vested immediately- 12,500 shares vesting on December 31, 2008

As mentioned above, these option grants were intended to replace options with unsatisfied vesting conditions based
on achieving a stock price that the Compensation Committee ultimately determined to be unrealistic and beyond the executives control. These option grants are reflected in more detail in the tables below.

Awards under Long-term Incentive Plan

The Compensation Committee also approved combined awards of stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to the Companys executive officers.
Pursuant to the guidelines set forth in our 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan, in the case of Mr. Kessel the award reflects a value of 65% of his salary in order to assure maximum alignment with shareholder interests. The stock appreciation rights
were awarded under the our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, each of which has an exercise price of $5.52 per share, the closing price of the our common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Capital Market on the date of grant, which the Committee determined to
be the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee also made restricted stock awards under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, at a purchase price of $0.01 per share. The Compensation Committee chose
a vesting-schedule of 50% per year over a two-year period, commencing as of May 1, 2008, for both the stock appreciation rights and the restricted stock awards:



|                  |  |                                 |  |                            |  |

##### Table of Contents

|(2) | We did not make any awards of stock in 2006 or 2007. In 2008, the named executive officers were granted restricted stock awards vesting over two years. The amounts in the
Stock Awards column reflect the dollar amounts recognized as compensation expense in respect of these awards for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
Please see the table below under the heading Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End for further detail regarding the restricted stock awards underlying these amounts, including the fair market value on the grant date and the number
of shares subject to such awards.

|(3) | The amounts in the Option Awards column reflect the dollar amounts recognized as compensation expense for financial statement reporting purposes for stock options or
stock appreciation rights for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and December 31, 2006 in accordance with SFAS 123(R), using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model employing certain variables and related assumptions, including
stock price volatility. The amounts shown in this column are, therefore, projections that do not necessarily reflect the actual cash compensation to be received by the option holder upon exercise of the option. The assumptions we used to calculate
these amounts are discussed in Note J to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Please see the table below under the heading Outstanding Equity Awards at
Fiscal Year-End for further detail regarding the option awards underlying these amounts, including the exercise price and the number of shares subject to such options.

termination if Mr. Kessel remained employed by us, referred to as the accelerated vesting.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On July 18, 2006, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, we entered into two non-statutory option agreements with Mr. Kessel. The option agreements provide for the following principal
terms:

| |  |  | 100,000 shares vest on the six-month anniversary of the commencement date,

| |  |  | The second option agreement related to the grant of an option under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to purchase up to 150,000 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $6.30 per share. This option vested only if our common stock closes at a price per share equal to or in excess of $10.00 on or prior to December 31, 2007. As this condition was not satisfied, this option did not vest and
terminated by its terms.

Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

We have entered into employment agreements with each of the named executive officers. These employment agreements provide for payments and benefits to the
executive officer upon termination of employment or a change of control of Environmental Power under specified circumstances. For information regarding the specific circumstances that would trigger payments and the provision of benefits, the manner
in which payments and benefits would be provided and conditions applicable to the receipt of payments and benefits, see Employment and Severance Arrangements.

The following tables set forth information regarding potential payments and benefits that each named executive officer who was serving as an executive
officer on December 31, 2008 would receive upon termination of employment or a change of control of Environmental Power under specified circumstances, assuming that the triggering event in question occurred on December 31, 2008, the last
business day of the fiscal year.

|(1) | The amounts in this column reflect a lump sum payment based upon annual base salary in effect on December 31, 2008. Mr. Kessel would also be entitled to a pro-rata portion
of any bonus to which he would have been eligible. This amount does not include Mr. Kessels bonus in respect of his services for 2008, which is discretionary and has not yet been determined.

| |  |  | In the case of Mr. Kessel, the aggregate value of automobile expense reimbursement, 401(k) match, and medical, dental and life insurance premiums provided or
expected to be provided to the named executive, in each case based on the amount of such benefits which he received in 2008.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the case of Messrs. Haines and Thomas, the aggregate value of medical insurance premiums for a 12-month period following termination of employment, in each case
based on the annualized amount of such benefits to which the executive was entitled in 2008.

|(3) | The amounts in this column represent the value of restricted stock awards with accelerated vesting and are calculated based on $0.63, the closing market price per share of our
common stock on December 31, 2008. In the case of options or SARs subject to accelerated vesting, because the exercise price of any such options or SARs exceeded the closing market price per share of our common stock on December 31, 2008,
such options or shares would not have had any value as of such date.

|(4) | Messrs. Haines and Thomas would be entitled to receive the payments and benefits set forth in this table irrespective of whether their employment is terminated in connection
with a change-in-control.

|(1) | The amounts in the SAR Awards column reflect the dollar amounts recognized as compensation expense for financial statement reporting purposes for stock appreciation
rights (SARs) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 in accordance with SFAS 123(R), using a Black-Scholes valuation model employing certain variables and related assumptions, including stock price volatility. The amounts shown in this
column are, therefore, projections that do not necessarily reflect the actual cash compensation to be received by the SAR holder upon exercise of the SARs. The assumptions we used to calculate these amounts are discussed in Note J to our
consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Amounts in this column for Mr. Weisberg include both his annual SAR award for service as a director, as well as a SAR
award having a SFAS 123(R) value of $87,259 as compensation for certain consulting services rendered to the company.

the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

Power.

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee has recommended

referred to as the series A preferred stock, as of February 28, 2009 by each person, entity or group of affiliated persons or entities known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our series A preferred

is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

|Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Employment and Retirement Agreements

We have entered into employment and retirement arrangements with certain of our
executive officers, former executive officers and directors. For additional information regarding these agreements, see Information About Executive and Director CompensationEmployment, Transition, Retirement, Consulting and Severance
Agreements appearing in Part III, Item 11 of this report. Except for such agreements and the other compensation arrangements described in this Form 10-K/A, we did not enter into any transactions with related persons within the meaning of
Item 404 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000.

Policies and
Procedures Regarding Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Person Transactions

In March 2007, our Board of Directors adopted
written policies and procedures for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we are a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or 5% stockholders (or
their immediate family members), each of whom we refer to as a related person, has a direct or indirect material interest.

If
a related person proposes to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship, which we refer to as a related person transaction, the related person must report the proposed related person transaction to our General Counsel,
who we refer to as our chief legal officer. The policy calls for the proposed related person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by our Audit Committee. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and approval will occur
prior to entry into the transaction. If advance review and approval is not practicable, the Audit Committee will review, and, in its discretion, may ratify the related person transaction. The policy also permits the chair of the Audit Committee to
review and, if deemed appropriate, approve proposed related person transactions that arise between committee meetings, subject to ratification by the Audit Committee at its next meeting. Any related person transactions that are ongoing in nature
will be reviewed annually.

A related person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is
authorized by the Audit Committee after full disclosure of the related persons interest in the transaction. As appropriate for the circumstances, the Audit Committee will review and consider:



| |  |  | the related persons interest in the related person transaction;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related person transaction;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related persons interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



29

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of our business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to us than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the transaction; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any other information regarding the related person transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors
in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Audit Committee may approve or ratify the transaction
only if the Committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in, or is not in conflict with, our best interests. The Audit Committee may impose any conditions on the related person transaction that it deems appropriate.

In addition to the transactions that are excluded by the instructions to the Securities and Exchange Commissions related person
transaction disclosure rules, our Board of Directors has determined that the following transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related persons and, therefore, are not related person transactions for purposes of
this policy:



| |  |  | interests arising solely from the related persons position as an executive officer of another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of such
entity), that is a participant in the transaction, where (a) the related person and all other related persons own in the aggregate less than a 10% equity interest in such entity, (b) the related person and his or her immediate family
members are not involved in the negotiation of the terms of the transaction and do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction, and (c) the amount involved in the transaction equals less than the greater of $200,000 or 5% of
the annual gross revenues of the company receiving payment under the transaction; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a transaction that is specifically contemplated by provisions of our charter or bylaws.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The policy provides that transactions involving compensation of executive officers shall be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee in the
manner specified in its charter.

There were no related person transactions presented for review in 2008.

Board Determination of Independence

Under applicable
rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, a director will only qualify as an independent director if, in the opinion of our board of directors, that person does not have a material relationship with our company which would interfere with the
exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that none of Messrs. Ballentine, Cooper, Kessner, Schumacher, Weisberg or Hatamiya has a material relationship with our
company which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and therefore, that each of these directors is independent within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ
Marketplace Rules. In addition, none of the current members of our board of directors, other than Mr. Kessel, is an employee of Environmental Power or any of its subsidiaries. Furthermore, the board expects that Messrs. Cresci and Tejwani may
become independent within the next few years if they remain on our board.
