Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

      Executive Employment Agreement with James J. TerBeest

      On May 31, 2005, we entered into an executive  employment  agreement  with
James J. TerBeest,  our Chief Financial Officer,  pursuant to which Mr. TerBeest
will  receive  $175,000 in salary for his service to the  company.  In addition,
pursuant to the arrangement,  we agreed to issue Mr. TerBeest a restricted stock
bonus of 500,000 shares of our common stock.  Such grant shall be subject to the
terms and conditions  set forth in the form of Notice of Restricted  Stock Bonus
Award and Restricted Stock Bonus Award  Agreement,  the principal terms of which
are discussed below. In the event that we terminate Mr. TerBeest's employment at
any time  without  cause (as defined in the  agreement),  he will be eligible to
receive a severance  payment equal to (i) six (6) months of his base salary plus
(ii) one (1) month of his base salary for each month of employment  beginning on
January  1, 2005 in  excess of six (6)  months  but not to  exceed  twelve  (12)
months.

      The  foregoing  description  of  the  executive  employment  agreement  is
qualified in its entirety by the Executive  Employment  Agreement by and between
Crdentia  Corp.  and James J.  TerBeest,  filed as Exhibit  10.1 to this current
report.

      Restricted Stock Bonus Awards

      On May 31, 2005,  we issued  restricted  stock bonus awards to four of our
executive  officers,  James D. Durham, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Pamela G.  Atherton,  our  President,  James J.  TerBeest,  our Chief  Financial
Officer,  and Vicki L. Smith,  our Vice  President  of Finance.  Pursuant to the
restricted  stock bonus awards,  Mr.  Durham  received  2,000,000  shares of our
Common Stock with an aggregate  fair market value of  $3,400,000,  Ms.  Atherton
received  900,000 shares of our Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value
of $1,530,000,  Mr. TerBeest received 500,000 shares of our Common Stock with an
aggregate fair market value of $850,000,  and Ms. Smith received  300,000 shares
of our Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value of $510,000.

      All shares of restricted  stock vest in accordance with the following:  In
the event that the average  daily  trading  volume for our common stock over any
consecutive  thirty  (30) day  period  equals or  exceeds  100,000  shares  (the
"Trading  Volume Goal"),  then  one-fortieth  (1/40) of the shares shall vest on
Wednesday of each week following the  achievement of the Trading Volume Goal for
a period of forty (40) weeks until the shares are fully vested.

      The  restricted  stock  bonus to Ms.  Atherton  is  subject  to a  further
clawback  provision.  Subject to Ms.  Atherton's  continuous  service  and other
limitations  set forth in the  Notice  and the  Agreement,  Ms.  Atherton  shall
forfeit 300,000 of the shares granted on each of June 30th,  September 30th, and
December 31st of 2005 (a "Clawback"), unless we have achieved certain amounts of
both revenue and earnings before interest,  taxes, depreciation and amortization
(and excluding  stock  compensation  expense)  during the three months ending on
such dates.

      The  foregoing  description  of  the  restricted  stock  bonus  awards  is
qualified  in its  entirety  by the Notice of  Restricted  Stock Bonus Award and
Restricted  Stock Bonus Award  Agreement by and between  Crdentia Corp. and each
James D. Durham,  Pamela G.  Atherton,  James J.  TerBeest,  and Vicki L. Smith,
filed as Exhibits  10.2,  10.3,  10.4, and 10.5,  respectively,  to this current
