(collectively, the “Prepetition Lender”), TENOR OPPORTUNITY MASTER FUND, LTD., ARIA OPPORTUNITY FUND, LTD. and PARSOON OPPORTUNITY FUND, LTD. (collectively, “Tenor”; together with the Prepetition Lender, the “Sponsors”), and THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA and ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY (together, the “Thermo Lenders”; collectively with the Sponsors, the “Creditors”) and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Thermo Lenders’ Agent”). Each of the foregoing shall be referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

     A. Raser issued certain 8% Senior Convertible Notes due 2013 in the aggregate original principal amount of $55 million (the “Convertible Notes”), which represent unsecured obligations of Raser. The Sponsors hold approximately $25 million in aggregate face amount of the Convertible Notes.

     B. On April 18, 2011, Raser and Debtor Thermo No. 1 BE-01, LLC (the “Thermo 1 Project Entity”) and the Prepetition Lender, entered into that certain Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Facility”) and certain related security agreements, pursuant to which, among other things, the Prepetition Lender loaned to the Debtors $750,000. The Debtors’ obligations to the Prepetition Lender are secured by (i) first-priority blanket liens and security interests on certain assets of the Debtors (other than the Existing Collateral (defined herein)) (a) that are not subject to existing liens, and (b) for which no third-party consents or waivers are required to provide or perfect such liens or security interests, and (ii) junior liens and security interests on all assets of the Debtors, including the Existing Collateral, that are subject to existing liens or security interests and for which no third-party consents or waivers are required to provide such liens or security interests (other than the consent of the Thermo Lenders).


     C. The Thermo 1 Project Entity is the maker of that certain Promissory Note, dated as of August 31, 2008, in the original principal amount of $31,175,092.00 (the “Thermo 1 Note”), and is party to, among other documents, (i) that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2008, among the Thermo 1 Project Entity, the Thermo Lenders, The Prudential Insurance Company of America, as Administrative Lender, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, (ii) that certain Deed of Trust, Leasehold Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Financing Statement, Fixture Filing and Assignment of Production, dated as of August 31, 2008, (iii) that certain Account and Security Agreement, and (iv) other security documents and agreements related thereto (collectively with the Thermo 1 Note, the “Thermo 1 Financing Documents”). Pursuant to the Thermo 1 Financing Documents, among other things, the Thermo 1 Project Entity borrowed $31,175,092.00, the repayment of which is secured by a first-priority, properly perfected, unavoidable lien and security interest in assets of the Thermo 1 Project Entity (the “Thermo 1 Collateral”), the equity interests in the Thermo 1 Project Entity held by IRP and Columbia (the “Pledged Equity”), and other assets of various Debtors (collectively with the Thermo 1 Collateral and the Pledged Equity, the “Existing Collateral”).

     D. As of the date hereof, (i) the Thermo Lenders are the holder of the Thermo 1 Note and the beneficiaries of the properly perfected liens and security interests in the Existing Collateral, and (ii) the outstanding obligations owed under the terms of the Thermo 1 Financing Documents, including accrued interest, are $10,326,878.25.

     E. The Debtors are in default of, among other things, their obligations under the Convertible Notes and the Thermo 1 Financing Documents (the “Existing Defaults”). In addition, the Debtors face a liquidity crisis that, without additional capital, makes it impossible for the Debtors to be able to continue as going concerns.

     F. After good faith, arms’ length negotiations, the Parties have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to engage in various transactions intended to restructure the Debtors’ obligations and recapitalize the Debtors’ businesses (collectively, the “Restructuring Transactions”).

     G. To implement the Restructuring Transactions, (i) the Debtors have agreed (a) to commence voluntary bankruptcy cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101-1532 (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), and (b) propose and prosecute to confirmation a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) that contains the terms and conditions set forth on the Term Sheet attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Plan Term Sheet”), (ii) the Sponsors have agreed (a) to provide or cause to be provided a debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “DIP Facility”) to the Debtors on the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit B hereto (the “DIP Facility Term Sheet”), and (b) to act as the stalking horse bidder with respect to an auction and sale of the equity of reorganized Raser to be issued pursuant to the Plan on the terms and conditions set forth on the Plan Term Sheet, and (iii) the Thermo Lenders have agreed to enter into an agreement with the Debtors to settle and resolve

2


any and all claims, rights and causes of action arising from or related to the Thermo 1 Financing Documents, the principal terms of which are set forth on Exhibit E hereto (the “Thermo Settlement Agreement”).

     H. To facilitate the implementation of the Restructuring Transactions, the Creditors have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to cast all votes that they or any of their affiliates are entitled to cast in favor of the Plan.

    Collateral) that are not subject to existing liens, and (ii) junior liens and 
    security interests on all assets of the Debtors that are subject to existing 
    liens or security interests, including the Existing Collateral (the “DIP 
    Facility Junior Liens”). The DIP Facility Junior Liens arising under the 
    DIP Facility are junior in all respects to the Thermo Lenders’ liens on the

    shall be secured by (i) a first-priority priming lien and security interest on 
    the Existing Collateral, (ii) first-priority blanket liens and security 
    interests on all other assets of the Debtors that are not subject to existing

    of Default in an amount not to exceed $100,000, plus (z) any allowed 
    accrued but unpaid fees and expenses owed to professionals retained in 
    the Cases (regardless of when allowed) that were accrued on or before 
    the date of delivery by the Lenders to the Debtors of a written notice of 
    the occurrence of one or more Events of Default to the extent consistent 
    with the Budget ((x), (y) and (z), collectively, the “Carve-Out”). 
Budget:    A 13-week rolling cash budget (with such supporting detail as the 
    Lenders may reasonably request), as approved by the Required Lenders 
    in their sole but reasonable discretion prior to the entry of the Interim 
    Order (and any subsequent approved budget, the “Budget”), shall be 
    attached to the Interim DIP Motion (as defined below) and shall reflect 
    on a line-item basis the Debtors’ anticipated aggregate cash receipts and 
    aggregate working capital expenses as determined by Debtors in their 
    reasonable judgment as necessary or required for each week covered by 
    the Budget. For each two week period in the Budget the aggregate 
    disbursements shall not exceed 110% of the aggregate amount of 
    projected disbursements for such two week period (“Permitted 
    Variance”). Upon the prior written request of the Debtors, or upon its 

B-3


    own initiative, the Required Lenders in their sole but reasonable 
    discretion may, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, authorize the 
    Debtors in writing to exceed the Permitted Variance. Any unused 
    amounts in the Budget may carry forward to successive weeks on a line- 
    by-line basis, with no carry-over surplus to any other line item. On each 
    bi-weekly anniversary of the Petition Date (or, if such anniversary is not 
    a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day), the 
    Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with an updated 
    Budget, including a report of variances on a line-item basis. 
Term:    Unless otherwise agreed by the Lenders, borrowings shall be repaid in 
    full, and the Commitments shall terminate (the “Termination Date”), on 
    the earliest of (i) May 4, 2011 if the Interim Order has not been entered 
    by 11:59 p.m. (Wilmington, Delaware time) on such date, (ii) May 20, 
    2011 if the Final Order has not been entered by 11:59 p.m. (Wilmington,

    Documentation.

    Order, but no later than May 4, 2011.

    Order, as set forth below.

    the Interest Rate applicable to the DIP Facility (and all amounts 
    outstanding thereunder) shall equal 17% per annum. Interest after 
    maturity shall be payable upon demand. 
    As described below, upon the occurrence of Plan Completion (as defined 
    below), all of the accrued interest on the DIP Loans and the Commitment 
    Fees will be credited in accordance with the PSA and the Plan Term 
    Sheet.

    Order. 
 
    A fee equal to 10% of the Commitment Amount (less the amount of the Initial 
    DIP Loans) earned upon entry of the Final Order. 
 
    Once earned, all Commitment Fees will accrue interest at the Interest Rate. All 

B-4


    Commitment Fees (together with accrued interest) will be payable upon 
    maturity of the DIP Facility (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or 
    otherwise).

    any taxes or other amounts are required by applicable law to be deducted 
    or withheld from any payments made by the Borrower or the Guarantors

    Lender that is an affiliate of such Lender) (a “Sponsor Lender”), then the 
    amount payable by the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor(s) shall be 
    increased as necessary so that, net of any such withholding or deduction, 
    such Sponsor Lender receives the amount it would have received had no 
    such withholding or deduction been made; provided that income or 
    franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) overall net income and 
    imposed by the United States or the jurisdiction under the laws of which 
    the Lender is organized, has its principal place or business or has its 
    applicable lending office, or any branch profits taxes imposed by the 
    United States, shall be “excluded taxes” and shall not be eligible for the 
    gross-up payable by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors pursuant to this 
    section. Each foreign Lender shall furnish to the Borrower and the 
    Administrative Agent appropriate certificates or tax forms as will permit 
    such payments to be made without being subject to U.S. federal tax 
    withholding to the extent such Lender is legally able to do so. 
Costs and Expenses;    All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the 
Indemnification:    Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, 
    reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection 
    with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be payable by the 
    Borrower and the Guarantors on demand whether or not the transactions 
    contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower shall also pay all 
    reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the 
    Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, 
    reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with (i) the 
    negotiation, preparation and execution of all documentation executed on 
    or before the Closing Date in connection with the transactions 
    contemplated hereunder, whether or not consummated, and (ii) the 
    enforcement of any rights and remedies under the DIP Loan 
    Documentation. All costs and expenses required to be paid by the 
    Borrower and Guarantors hereunder are collectively referred to as the 
    Expense Payments”. All Expense Payments that become due and owing 
    under the DIP Loan Documentation prior to the maturity of the DIP 
    Loans shall be automatically added to the principal amount of the DIP 
    Loans (and begin to bear interest) on the third Business Day following 
    the Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor from the 
    Administrative Agent. All Expenses Payments that become due and 

B-12


    owing after maturity of the DIP Loans (whether at stated maturity, by 
    acceleration or otherwise) shall be due and payable on demand. 
    The Borrower and the Guarantor shall indemnify the Administrative 
    Agent and each Lender against any liability arising in connection with 
    the transactions contemplated hereby (other than in the case of the gross 
    negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any indemnified person). 
Assignments and    Usual and customary assignment and participation provisions reasonably 
Participations:    satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, subject to the 
    Borrower’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or 
    delayed, except that no such consent shall be required if an Event of 
    Default has occurred and is continuing or in the case of any such 
    assignment or participation to an affiliate of any Lender. 
Voting:    “Required Lenders” shall mean Lenders holding more than 50% of the 
    Commitments except as to customary matters requiring unanimity (e.g., 
    the reduction of interest rates, the reduction of fees, the extension of the 
    maturity of the Borrower’s obligations and amend or modify the super- 
    priority status of the Debtors’ obligations). 
Agency:    Usual and customary agency provisions satisfactory to the 
    Administrative Agent. 
Miscellaneous:    The DIP Loan Documentation will include (a) waiver of consequential 
    and punitive damages and right to a jury trial and (b) customary set-off 
    and sharing provisions. 
Documentation:    Reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Lenders and the 
    Borrower. 
Governing Law:    New York except as governed by the Bankruptcy Code.
