Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On November 16, 2011, Red Mountain Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a senior secured promissory note (the “Note”) to Hyman Belzberg, William Belzberg and Caddo Management, Inc. (collectively, the “Lenders”), in a principal amount of up to $4,000,000. Upon issuance of the Note, the Lenders advanced $500,000 to the Company. Upon perfection of the Lenders’ security interest in the collateral for the Note, the Company may request additional disbursements under the Note for the acquisition of certain properties. The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and matures on November 16, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”). On the date the Note was issued, the Company prepaid interest on the Note through November 30, 2011. Beginning on January 1, 2012, and on the first of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date, the Company will pay monthly installments of interest only. All accrued and unpaid interest and the unpaid principal balance are due and payable on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date the Note is terminated, whether by its terms, by prepayment or by acceleration.
 
The Note is a senior obligation of the Company. All of the Company’s obligations under the Note are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Black Rock Capital Inc. and RMR Operating, LLC (together, the “Subsidiaries”), pursuant to a guaranty agreement in favor of the Lenders, dated as of November 16, 2011. In addition, the Note will be secured by (a) first priority and second priority real property liens on the Company’s ownership or lease interest in certain developed and undeveloped oil and gas leases (including the properties to be purchased with the funds disbursed under the Note), together with all proceeds, interests, personal property and as-extracted collateral related to such interests, and (b) a stock pledge agreement with the Lenders, dated November 16, 2011, with respect to 2,233,000 shares of Cross Border Resources, Inc. owned by the Company.
 
The Note includes certain customary representations and warranties and covenants of the Company. In addition, the Company agreed not to become liable with respect to any indebtedness secured by the collateral or incur any lien on the collateral, except for certain specified types of liens.
 
The Note also includes certain customary events of default, including events of default relating to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Note, violations of the Note, bankruptcy proceedings and similar events involving the Company, the Lenders’ security interest and the collateral, the Company’s solvency, and defaults under the Company’s other material obligations and agreements. The Lenders may accelerate the Note immediately upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Note.
 
Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has any material relationship with the Lenders other than with respect to the Note and related agreements.
 
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, which is attached as Exhibit 10.15 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on November 18, 2011 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
