Exhibit 10.25

ENDEAVOUR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Endeavour International Corporation (the “Company”) and Carl D. Grenz, an employee of the Company (“Grantee”), dated as of November 3, 2008 and effective as of the grant date(s) shown in Appendix A attached hereto.

WHEREAS, effective Carl D. Grenz, Grantee shall be an employee of the Company and as an inducement for such employment and in connection with Grantee providing services to the Company as an employee, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, on behalf of the Company, desires to grant to Grantee a number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with a view to increasing Grantee’s interest in the Company’s welfare and growth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Grant of Common Stock. Subject to the restrictions, forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions set forth herein (a) the Company hereby grants to Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Shares”) as set out in Appendix A hereto, and (b) subject to the terms hereof, Grantee shall have and may exercise rights and privileges of ownership of such Restricted Shares, including, without limitation, the voting rights of such shares and the right to receive dividends declared in respect thereof. This Agreement and the grant of Restricted Shares are subject to administration by and the rules and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or a committee appointed by the Board to administer this Agreement (the “Committee”) and the Board or the Committee, if so appointed, shall have the authority to construe and interpret the terms of this Agreement and to provide omitted terms to carry out this Agreement. Except with respect to Section 3(v), any authority provided to the Company, the Board or Committee herein shall also be provided to the Committee, if one is appointed by the Board. The Committee shall have the authority to take all actions that it deems advisable for the administration of this Agreement.

2. Transfer Restrictions; Vesting.

(a) Generally. Grantee shall not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, pledge, encumber, gift, devise, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any Restricted

Shares prior to their vesting in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in Appendix A. Further, even after such Restricted Shares become vested, such vested Restricted Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other applicable law or Company policies as determined by Company on advice of counsel chosen by the Company in its sole discretion. Restricted Shares shall vest as of each of the Vesting Dates set out in Appendix A provided that Grantee remains an employee through the Vesting Date, except as may otherwise be provided herein.

(b) Dividends, etc. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or makes a distribution on Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or (ii) subdivides or reclassifies outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (iii) combines or reclassifies outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Grantee’s Common Stock subject to the transfer restrictions in this Agreement shall be proportionally increased or reduced as to prevent enlargement or dilution of Grantee’s rights and duties hereunder. The determination of the Company’s Board of Directors regarding such adjustment should be final and binding.

3. Vesting on Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 2, on the date immediately preceding the date of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), the Restricted Shares shall be 100% vested. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) the Company (A) shall not be the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation or other reorganization (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity other than a previously wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) or (B) is to be dissolved and liquidated, and as a result of or in connection with such transaction, the persons who were directors of the Company before such transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board, or

(ii) any person or entity, including a “group” as contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, acquires or gains ownership or control (including, without limitation, power to vote) of 30% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting stock (based upon voting power), and as a result of or in connection with such transaction, the persons who were directors of the Company before such transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board, or

(iii) the Company sells all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person or entity (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) in a transaction that requires shareholder approval pursuant to applicable corporate law; or

(iv) During a period of two consecutive calendar years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director(s) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office, who either were directors at the beginning of the two (2) year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board; or

(v) any other event that a majority of the Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine constitutes a Change in Control hereunder.

4. Forfeiture.

(a) Termination of Employment. If Grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company or Grantee for any reason, then Grantee shall immediately forfeit all Restricted Shares which are unvested unless the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that any or all of such unvested Restricted Shares shall not be so forfeited.

(b) Forfeited Shares. Any Restricted Shares forfeited under this Section 4 shall automatically revert to the Company and become canceled. Any certificate(s) representing Restricted Shares which include forfeited shares shall only represent that number of Restricted Shares which have not been forfeited hereunder. Upon the Company’s request, Grantee agrees for himself and any other holder(s) to tender to the Company any certificate(s) representing Restricted Shares which include forfeited shares for a new certificate representing the unforfeited number of Restricted Shares.

5. Issuance of Certificate.

(a) The Company shall cause to be issued a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Grantee, evidencing the Restricted Shares upon receipt of a stock power duly endorsed in blank with respect to such shares. In addition to any other legends that may be required by applicable law or otherwise, each such stock certificate shall bear the legends substantially as follows:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THEY CANNOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS OR UPON DELIVERY TO THIS CORPORATION OF AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE AND RESTRICTIONS AGAINST TRANSFER) CONTAINED IN THE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH SHARES AND ENDEAVOUR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION. COPIES OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF ENDEAVOUR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, LOCATED AT 1001 FANNIN STREET, SUITE 1600, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77002.

The latter legend shall not be removed from the certificate evidencing Restricted Shares until such time as the restrictions thereon have lapsed.

(b) The certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5, together with the stock powers relating to the Restricted Shares evidenced by such certificate, shall be held by the Company. The Company may issue to the Grantee a receipt evidencing the certificates held by it which are registered in the name of the Grantee.

6. Tax Requirements.

(a) Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this grant.

(b) Share Withholding. With respect to tax withholding required upon any taxable event arising as a result of this grant, Participant may elect, subject to the approval of the Board or Committee in its sole discretion, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold shares of common stock having a fair market value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the statutory total tax which could be imposed on the transaction. All such elections shall be made in writing, signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate. Any fraction of a share of common stock required to satisfy such obligation shall be disregarded and the amount due shall instead be paid in cash by the Participant.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Certain Transfers Void. Any purported transfer of Restricted Shares in breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be void and ineffectual, and shall not operate to transfer any interest or title in the purported transferee.

(b) No Fractional Shares. All provisions of this Agreement concern whole shares of Common Stock. If the application of any provision hereunder would yield a fractional share, the value of such fractional share shall be paid to the Grantee in cash.

(c) Not an Employment Agreement. This Agreement is not an employment agreement, and this Agreement shall not be, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to create any employment relationship or right to continued employment with the Company, Company affiliates, parent, subsidiary or their affiliates.

(i) Grantee is acquiring the Restricted Shares granted pursuant to the terms hereof, for his own account, for investment, and not with a view to (or for sale in connection with) any distribution thereof, other than pursuant to any effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), registering the of resale of the Restricted Shares.

Grantee further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding his investment in the Company.

(1) After a dispute or controversy arises, any party may, in a written notice delivered to the other parties to the dispute, demand such arbitration. Such notice shall designate the name of the arbitrator (who shall be an impartial person) appointed by such party demanding arbitration, together with a statement of the matter in controversy.

(2) Within 30 days after receipt of such demand, the other parties shall, in a written notice delivered to the first party, name such parties’ arbitrator (who shall be an impartial person).
