Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On September 14, 2010, Raser Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Subscription Agreement with War Chest Capital Partners (the "War Chest Subscription Agreement") relating to a registered direct offering by the Company of up to $750,000 (the "Registered Direct Offering") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"). War Chest Capital Partners agreed to purchase $750,000 of the Common Stock for a negotiated price of $0.27 per share of Common Stock, subject to the participation rights held by certain of the Company's stockholders or former stockholders to participate in up to 35% of the Registered Direct Offering pursuant to Subscription Agreements, dated June 30, 2009, among the Company and such participation rights holders (the "Participation Rights Holders").
On September 17, 2010, the Company received notice from Capital Ventures International and Iroquois Master Fund, LTD., two of the Participation Rights Holders, of their intention to participate in the Registered Direct Offering by purchasing $30,975 and $25,725, respectively, of the Common Stock for a negotiated price of $0.27 per share. As a result, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Capital Ventures International on September 17, 2010 (the "Capital Ventures Subscription Agreement") and a Subscription Agreement with Iroquois Master Fund, LTD. on September 17, 2010 (the "Iroquois Subscription Agreement"). Because Capital Ventures International and Iroquois Master Fund, LTD. elected to participate in the Registered Direct Offering by purchasing $30,975 and $25,725, respectively, of the Common Stock, the amount of the Common Stock purchased by War Chest Capital Partners was reduced from $750,000 to $693,300.    The Registered Direct Offering resulted in the Company issuing 2,567,777 shares of Common Stock to War Chest Capital Partners, 114,722 shares of Common Stock to Capital Ventures International and 95,277 shares of Common Stock to Iroquois Master Fund, LTD. for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $750,000, before deducting offering expenses. The net offering proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Common Stock, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $740,000.

The closing of the sale and issuance of the Common Stock for the Registered Direct Offering took place in two separate closings on September 15, 2010 and September 20, 2010.
