Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers


On May 24, 2010, International Isotopes Inc. (the "Company") entered into a new employment agreement with Steve Laflin (the "Prior Employment Agreement"), effective as of May 31, 2010, pursuant to which Mr. Laflin will continue to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  On June 23, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Steve Laflin (the "A&R Employment Agreement"), effective as of May 31, 2010 (the "Effective Date"), which amends and restates in its entirety the Prior Employment Agreement.  The A&R Employment Agreement amends the Prior Employment Agreement to remove the provisions in the Prior Employment Agreement that Mr. Laflin's base salary will increase to $225,000 and that he will be entitled to a performance bonus of $50,000 upon the closing of an equity offering by the Company with proceeds in excess of $15 million.  The A&R Employment Agreement includes the following provisions:


·

Annual base salary of $185,000. Base salary is subject to annual review by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") and the Compensation Committee.


·

Benefits generally provided or made available to other executive officers of the Company.


·

Continued salary and benefits for 12 months if the Company terminates the Employment Agreement without Cause (as defined in the A&R Employment Agreement) not less than 60 days prior to the date the A&R Employment Agreement otherwise terminates or in connection with (i) a Board or shareholder vote to sell or dissolve the Company or (ii) action to take the Company private such that its shares are no longer traded on the OTCBB or other national exchange.  No bonus amounts are due following such termination of the A&R Employment Agreement unless they were approved prior to such termination.


The term of the A&R Employment Agreement extends until October 31, 2010, subject to extension by mutual agreement within five months after the Effective Date or earlier termination as set forth in the A&R Employment Agreement.  The parties intend to continue negotiations regarding a longer term employment agreement.


Mr. Laflin is required to keep all confidential information obtained about the Company strictly confidential and is prohibited from making detrimental statements, either directly or indirectly, regarding the Company during the term of the agreement and for 24 months thereafter. Mr. Laflin also cannot, directly or indirectly, own or become employed by or otherwise provide consulting services to any business competitive with the Company prior to the date of termination of the agreement and for 24 months thereafter in any country in which Company commences business during the term of the agreement.


The foregoing description of the A&R Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Employment Agreement, which is filed with this current report Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
