Item 1.01 Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement
.
On
May 27, 2008, Petro Resources Corporation (the “Company”) entered into
employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with the following executive
officers (the “Executive Officers”): (i) Wayne P. Hall, Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Donald L. Kirkendall,
President, (iii) Harry Lee Stout, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer and General Counsel, (iv) James W. Denny, III, Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer, and (v) Allen R. McGee, Executive
Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. The Employment
Agreements were approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors
of the Company.
In
general, each Employment Agreement contains provisions concerning terms of
employment, voluntary and involuntary termination, indemnification, severance
payments, and other termination benefits including parachute payments and the
continuation of perquisites.
The term
of each Employment Agreement runs from June 1, 2007 until June 1,
2010, except in the case of Mr. Denny's Employment Agreement which has an
effective date of March 1, 2008 and expires on March 1, 2011.
Each
Employment Agreement provides for an initial annual base salary level for each
Executive Officer, which may be adjusted by the compensation committee or the
board of directors of the Company. The following table sets forth the
initial, annual base salary levels set forth in the Employment Agreements for
the Executive Officers:

The
Employment Agreements also provide for annual bonuses and participation in the
Company’s long-term incentive plans, each to be in an amount to be determined by
the compensation committee or the board of directors of the
Company.
If there
is an involuntary termination other than due to a change of control, the
Employment Agreements provide for lump sum cash payments to each Executive
Officer equal to the Executive Officer’s annual base salary, plus a parachute
payment in an amount equal to the excise tax, if any, imposed by Section 4999 of
the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, as well as the continuation of benefits
for twelve months. If the Executive Officer’s employment is
terminated due to death or disability, then, in addition to the above, upon the
date that is the later of the termination date or the date that the Executive
Officer signs the required release, all options become immediately vested and
exercisable and all restricted stock unrestricted.
If there
is an involuntary termination due to a change of control, then each Employment
Agreement provides for lump sum cash payments equal to two (2) times the
Executive Officer’s annual base salary, a parachute payment in an amount equal
to the excise tax, if any, imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code,
as amended, as well as the continuation of benefits for twelve months, plus,
upon the date that is the later of the termination date or the date that the
Executive Officer signs the required release, all options become immediately
vested and exercisable and all restricted stock unrestricted.
In
addition, the Employment Agreements contain restrictions upon the Executive
Officers’ ability, during and after the period of employment, to use
confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, to provide services
that are competitive with the Company, and to solicit or induce employees to
terminate their employment relationships with the Company.
Each
Employment Agreement is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
