RESTRICTED
STOCK AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) is made as of the 7th day of August, 2007, between PARTICLE DRILLING TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada corporation
(the “Company”), and JIM B. TERRY (“Employee”).

1.             Award.  Pursuant to the PARTICLE
DRILLING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN (the “Plan”),
as of the date of this Agreement, 170,750 shares (the “Restricted Shares”) of
the Company’s common stock shall be issued as hereinafter provided in Employee’s
name subject to certain restrictions thereon. 
The Restricted Shares shall be issued upon acceptance hereof by Employee
and upon satisfaction of the conditions of this Agreement.  Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of
the Plan, and agrees that this award of Restricted Shares shall be subject to
all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, including future amendments
thereto, if any, pursuant to the terms thereof. 
In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the
Plan, the Plan shall control. 
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the
meaning attributed to such terms under the Plan, unless the context requires
otherwise.

2.             Restricted Shares.  Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Shares
when issued and agrees with respect thereto as follows:

(a)           Forfeiture Restrictions.  The Restricted Shares may not be sold,
assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered
or disposed of to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions (as
hereinafter defined), and in the event of termination of Employee’s employment
with the Company, except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b) hereof, Employee
shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Shares to
the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions.  The prohibition against transfer and the
obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Shares to the Company upon
termination of employment are herein referred to as the “Forfeiture
Restrictions.”  The Forfeiture
Restrictions shall be binding upon and enforceable against any transferee of
Restricted Shares.

(b)           Lapse of Forfeiture
Restrictions.

The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all of
the Restricted Shares upon achievement of the following performance target,
provided that Employee has been continuously employed by the Company from the
date of this Agreement through the date of such lapse:

The date the Company
files its first quarterly or annual report with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission in which the Company reports, for two consecutive fiscal
quarters, cumulative revenues determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, in the aggregate, of an amount equal to or greater than
$1 million.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Forfeiture
Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Restricted Shares then subject to the
Forfeiture Restrictions (i) in accordance with the 

 1
 

provisions of that certain Employment Agreement
between Employee and the Company effective as of January 23, 2006, as the same
may be amended from time to time, or (ii) on the date Employee’s employment
with the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability (within the
meaning of section 22(e)(3) of the Code).

(c)           Certificates.  A certificate evidencing the Restricted
Shares shall be issued by the Company in Employee’s name, pursuant to which
Employee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with
respect to the Restricted Shares, including, without limitation, voting rights
and the right to receive dividends (provided, however, that dividends paid in
shares of the Company’s stock shall be subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions
and further provided that dividends that are paid other than in shares of the
Company’s stock shall be paid no later than the end of the calendar year in
which the dividend for such class of stock is paid to stockholders of such
class or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date the
dividend is paid to stockholders of such class of stock). Employee may not
sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the stock
until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired and a breach of the terms of
this Agreement shall cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Shares. The certificate
shall be delivered upon issuance to the Secretary of the Company or to such
other depository as may be designated by the Committee as a depository for
safekeeping until the forfeiture of such Restricted Shares occurs or the
Forfeiture Restrictions lapse pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this award.
Employee agrees to deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank,
relating to the Restricted Shares. Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture
Restrictions without forfeiture, the Company shall cause a new certificate or
certificates to be issued without legend (except for any legend required
pursuant to applicable securities laws or any other agreement to which Employee
is a party) in the name of Employee in exchange for the certificate evidencing
the Restricted Shares.  However, the
Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to deliver the certificate either in
certificate form or electronically to a brokerage account established for
Employee’s benefit at a brokerage/financial institution selected by the Company.  Employee agrees to complete and sign any
documents and take additional action that the Company may request to enable it
to deliver the shares on Employee’s behalf.

(d)           Corporate Acts.  The existence of the Restricted Shares shall
not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of
the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its
business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or
equity securities, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale,
lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or
business or any other corporate act or proceeding. The prohibitions of Section
2(a) hereof shall not apply to the transfer of Restricted Shares pursuant to a
plan of reorganization of the Company, but the stock, securities or other
property received in exchange therefor shall also become subject to the
Forfeiture Restrictions and provisions governing the lapsing of such Forfeiture
Restrictions applicable to the original Restricted Shares for all purposes of
this Agreement and the certificates representing such stock, securities or
other property shall be legended to show such restrictions.

3.             Withholding
of Tax/Tax Election.
To the extent that the receipt of the Restricted Shares or the lapse of any
Forfeiture Restrictions results in compensation income or wages to 

 2
 

Employee for
federal, state or local tax purposes, Employee shall deliver to the Company at
the time of such receipt or lapse such amount of money as the Company may
require to meet its minimum obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations
or make such other arrangements to satisfy such withholding obligation as the
Company or the Committee may approve.  In
addition, the Company may withhold unrestricted shares of stock of the Company
(valued at their fair market value on the date of withholding of such shares)
otherwise to be issued upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions to satisfy
its withholding obligations.  If Employee
makes the election authorized by section 83(b) of the Code in connection with
the award of the Restricted Shares, Employee shall submit to the Company a copy
of the statement filed by Employee to make such election.

4.             Status of
Stock.  Employee agrees that the Restricted Shares
issued under this Agreement will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any
manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws,
whether federal or state. Employee also agrees that (a) the certificates
representing the Restricted Shares may bear such legend or legends as the
Committee deems appropriate in order to reflect the Forfeiture Restrictions and
to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (b) the Company may
refuse to register the transfer of the Restricted Shares on the stock transfer
records of the Company if such proposed transfer would constitute a violation
of the Forfeiture Restrictions or, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Company, of any applicable securities law, and (c) the Company may give
related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the
transfer of the Restricted Shares.

5.             Employment Relationship. 
For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to be in
the employment of the Company as long as Employee remains an employee of either
the Company, an Affiliate, or any successor corporation.  Without
limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, it is expressly provided that
Employee shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at
the time of the termination of the “Affiliate” status under the Plan of the
entity or other organization that employs Employee.  Any question as to whether and when
there has been a termination of such employment, and the cause of such
termination, shall be determined by the Committee and its determination shall
be final.

6.             Notices.
Any notices or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be
sufficient if in writing.  In the case of
Employee, such notices or communications shall be effectively delivered if hand
delivered to Employee at his principal place of employment or if sent by
registered or certified mail to Employee at the last address Employee has filed
with the Company. In the case of the Company, such notices or communications
shall be effectively delivered if sent by registered or certified mail to the
Company at its principal executive offices.

7.             Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement replaces and merges all
previous agreements and discussions relating to the same or similar subject
matters between Employee and the Company and constitutes the entire agreement
between Employee and the Company with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.  Without limiting the scope of
the preceding sentence, all prior understandings and agreements, if any, among
the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby null and
void and of no further force and effect. 
Any modification of this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in
writing and signed by both Employee and an authorized officer of the Company.

 3
 

 

8.               Binding
Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming
under Employee.

9.               Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada,
without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

10.             Jurisdiction.         Each
of the Company and Employee hereby irrevocably (i) submits and consents to the
personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Harris County,
Texas with respect to any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or based
upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) waives the
right to contend in any such action that venue is improperly laid in any such
court or that it is an improper or inconvenient forum or lacks personal
jurisdiction.  If Employee now or
hereafter resides outside the State of Texas, Employee hereby irrevocably
appoints the General Counsel of the Company as Employee’s authorized agent upon
whom process may be served at such General Counsel’s Company office for notices
under this Agreement in any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or based
upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that may be
instituted in any state or federal court in the State of Texas by the Company,
and Employee hereby agrees to so act.  Employee
agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all
documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment
in full force and effect as aforesaid. 
Service of process upon the authorized agent of Employee and written
notice of such service to Employee shall be deemed, in every respect, effective
service of process as to Employee for purposes of any such suit, action, or
proceeding instituted in any state or federal court in the State of Texas.

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be
duly executed by its officer thereunto duly authorized, and Employee has
executed this Agreement, all effective as of the day and year first above
written.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO

EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“First Amendment”) is entered into by
and between Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”),
and Jim B. Terry (“Executive”) as of August 7, 2007.

WHEREAS,
Company and Executive have heretofore entered into that certain Employment
Agreement effective as of January 23, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS,
Company and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement in certain
respects;

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises set forth above and the mutual agreements set
forth herein, Company and Executive hereby agree, effective as of the date
first set forth above, that the Employment Agreement shall be amended as
hereafter provided:

1.             Section 5.4 of the Employment Agreement shall be deleted
and the following shall be substituted therefor:

“5.4        Parachute Payments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, in the event that any payment or distribution by Company to or
for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”),
would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any
interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax,
together with any such interest or penalties, are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Excise Tax”), Company shall pay to Executive an additional
payment (a “Gross-up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by
Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with
respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax imposed on any Gross-up
Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment equal to the
Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. 
The Gross-up Payment attributable to a particular Payment shall be made
at the time such Payment is made; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Gross-up Payment be made later than the end of Executive’s taxable year next
following Executive’s taxable year in which Executive remits the related
taxes.  Company and Executive shall make
an initial determination as to whether a Gross-up Payment is required and the
amount of any such Gross-up Payment. 
Executive shall notify Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service which, if successful, would require Company to make a Gross-up
Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in excess of that, if any, initially determined
by Company and Executive) within ten days of the receipt of such claim.  Company shall notify Executive in writing at
least ten days prior to the due date of any response required with respect to
such claim if it plans to contest the claim. 
If Company decides to contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate
fully with Company in such action; provided, however, Company shall bear and
pay directly or indirectly 

 1
 

all costs and expenses (including additional interest
and penalties) incurred in connection with such action and shall indemnify and
hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income
tax, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result
of Company’s action.  If, as a result of
Company’s action with respect to a claim, Executive receives a refund of any
amount paid by Company with respect to such claim, Executive shall promptly pay
such refund to Company.  If Company fails
to timely notify Executive whether it will contest such claim or Company determines
not to contest such claim, then Company shall immediately pay to Executive the
portion of such claim, if any, which it has not previously paid to Executive.”

2.             Except as expressly modified by this First Amendment,
the terms of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
are hereby confirmed and ratified.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the parties hereto have executed and delivered this First Amendment as of the
date first set forth above.
