private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, give
the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences, in each case in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require either party to provide copies of communications
or take other action that could cause such disclosing party to waive its attorney-client privilege.

Announcements. The parties shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT
TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is effective as of the 20th day of April, 2012 (the “Effective
Date”) by and between Everett Willard “Will” Gray II, a resident of the State of Texas (“Executive”),
and cross border resources, inc., a Nevada corporation having its principal office
at 22610 US Hwy 281 North, Suite 218, San Antonio, Texas, 78258 (the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, the
Company is an oil and gas exploration and production company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas focused on drilling exploratory
and developmental wells in the Permian Basin region of the United States;

 

WHEREAS, the
Company and Executive entered into an employment agreement dated as of the 31st day of January, 2011 and an Amendment to Employment
Agreement as of the 6th day of March, 2012 (collectively, the “Employment Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the
Company and Executive have agreed to amend the terms of the Employment Agreement by this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged by the parties, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

1.          Defined
Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Employment
Agreement.

 

2.          Interpretation.
To the extent that the terms and conditions of this Amendment conflict with the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement,
the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control.

 

3.          Amended
Sections of the Employment Agreement.

 

3.01.     Section
5.3 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

5.3     Termination
After Corporate Transaction If during the Initial Term of this Agreement a Corporate Transaction (as hereafter defined)
occurs, then Executive will be entitled to a severance payment as if he had been terminated without Cause. The severance payment
shall be payable in four equal installments with the payments due on or before the following dates: (i) ten (10) days after the
Corporate Transaction, (ii) the last day of the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, (iii) the last day of the third
quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, and (iv) the last day of the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year. Executive’s

(a)     For
the purpose of this Agreement, a “Corporate Transaction” means the occurrence of any of the following:

 

(1)     The

meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock
of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting
Securities”).

 

(2)     The
individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors. Any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date
hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, is approved by a vote of at least a majority
of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered a member of the Incumbent Board as of the date hereof,
but any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with
respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf
of a Person other than the Incumbent Board will not be deemed a member of the Incumbent Board as of the date hereof.

 

(3)     The
consummation of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company (a “Business Combination”), unless
following such Business Combination, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively,
of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the surviving company’s outstanding shares of common stock or
the combined voting power.

 

(4)     The
approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

(5)     A
sale, disposition or liquidation of at least 50% of the Company’s assets.

 

3.02          Section

Executive's entitlement to the benefits
provided in Section 5 are contingent on Executive countersigning and delivering to the Company and not revoking a Separation Agreement
and Mutual Release, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, on or prior to the date upon which amounts are payable to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

4.          Counterparts.
This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and taken together shall be considered
as one document. Further, this document may be executed by facsimile signature and Company and Executive hereby acknowledge their
intent to be bound by the facsimile signatures the same as if they are original signatures.

 

5.          Agreement
Effective. Except as herein modified, all terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect,
shall not be considered amended or modified except as is specifically set forth in this Amendment and are herby ratified and confirmed
in all respects.

 

6.          Ratification.

EXHIBIT A

 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE

 

THIS SEPARATION
AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE (this "Agreement") is entered into this ___ day of April, 2012, by and between
_______________ ("Executive") and CROSS BORDER RESOURCES, INC. (the "Company") (collectively
referred to as the "Parties") to resolve all issues related to or arising out of Executive’s former employment
with Company and Executive’s termination of employment on the Termination Date. This Agreement is delivered in connection
with that certain Agreement dated April __, 2012, by and between Red Mountain Resources, Inc. and the Company and becomes effective
on the Change of Officer Date as defined therein which shall be no later than May 31, 2012. In consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein, the sufficiency of which the Parties acknowledge, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.          Termination
Date. Executive was provided notice, or Executive provided notice to the Company, on _____________ (the "Notice Date")
that his/her last day of employment with the Company shall be __________________ (the "Termination Date").

 

2.          Transition
Period. For the period that begins on the Notice Date and ends on the Termination Date (the "Transition Period"),
Executive shall continue to perform, in good-faith and with his/her best efforts, his/her employment responsibilities (as described
in the Executive’s Employment Agreement dated January 31, 2011 as amended on March 6, 2012 and April 20, 2012) (the "Employment
Agreement") for the Company during normal work hours. The Company will pay Executive, subject to normal tax and
other payroll withholdings, Executive’s regular salary during the Transition Period pursuant to the regularly scheduled payroll
practice of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company reserves the right to accelerate
Executive’s Termination Date if such Executive does not perform, in good-faith and with his/her best efforts, his/her employment
responsibilities during normal work hours.

 

3.          Payments
on Termination Date. The Company will pay Executive, subject to normal tax and other payroll withholdings (a) Executive’s
earned, but unpaid regular salary through the Termination Date, and (b) Executive’s earned, but unused vacation time through
the Termination Date. The Company shall pay Executive the amounts described in (a) and (b) above in the pay check immediately following
his/her Termination Date. The Company will extend Executive’s current Company group medical, dental and vision benefit coverage,
if any, through the Termination Date. The continuation of coverage during the Transition Period shall not count toward satisfying
the health care continuation coverage requirements of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 ("COBRA").

 

4.          Severance
Benefit. In consideration for the agreements and releases by Executive set forth below, Company agrees that during the
sixty (60) day period following the later of (a) the end of the Transition Period, or (b) the end of the Revocation Period (defined
in Paragraph 21 of this Agreement) with no revocation of this Agreement by Executive, the Company shall pay Executive an amount
in accordance with the Employment Agreement ("Severance Benefit"). Executive
acknowledges and agrees that, but for his/her execution of this Agreement, he/she would not be entitled to the Severance Benefit
described above. In the event of death of the Executive prior to receipt of all amounts due hereunder
or under the Employment Agreement, any remaining Severance Benefit shall be paid to the estate of the Executive.

 

    	5

    	 

    
 

5.          Termination
of Benefits. Executive acknowledges that Company has explained Executive’s right under COBRA and understands that he/she
has sixty (60) days from his/her Termination Date to notify the Company and formally elect COBRA continuation coverage. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that he/she is solely responsible to pay all costs of any COBRA continuation coverage which he/she may
elect. Executive further acknowledges that his/her participation in and entitlement to any and all other compensation, fringe benefits,
Executive benefit plans (either Executive welfare benefit plans or Executive benefit pension plans) cease on his/her Termination
Date.

 

6.          Terms
of Settlement.

 

(a)     Settlement
and Release.

 

(i)     Release
By Executive. Subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, and in exchange for the payment of the Severance Benefit subject
to all applicable tax withholding, Executive hereby:

 

(1)     forever
releases and discharges the Company and its respective officers, directors, stockholders, agents, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates,
successors and assigns (collectively, the "Released Persons") from any and all claims, actions, causes of actions and
demands of Executive, known or unknown, that Executive may have against the Released Persons, and any other claims that may arise
in connection with Executive's capacity as an employee, officer, director or stockholder of the Company (whether directly or derivatively
through the Company), including, without limitation, all damages, obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred or otherwise
suffered by Executive in connection therewith; specifically excluding, however, any claims for breach of any representation, warranty,
obligation or covenant by the Company contained in this Agreement; and

 

(2)     covenants
and agrees not to sue or bring, or cause or permit to be commenced, any action or legal proceeding against the Company or any of
such Released Persons in connection with any claim, action, cause of action or demand released by Executive herein.

 

(I)     Without
limiting the foregoing terms, this Agreement specifically includes and extinguishes all known or unknown claims, suits, actions,
causes of action, demands or charges for age, sex, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, race, color, national origin, disability
discrimination, or discrimination on any other basis, retaliation, "whistle-blowing," any and all wage claims, breach
of contract, wrongful discharge, detrimental reliance, retaliatory discharge, infliction of emotional distress claims, any other
tort claims, and any and all claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or charges arising from any alleged violation by
or on behalf of the Released Persons, of any federal, state or local constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, order, public
policy or common law.

 

    	6

    	 

    
 

(II)     Nothing
in this Agreement precludes Executive from asserting any claim he/she may have pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation
Act, nor shall this Agreement preclude Executive from asserting any claim to enforce the terms of this Agreement or for a breach
of this Agreement.

 

This release
is not intended to encompass claims for workers' compensation or unemployment benefits. Nor is this release intended to prevent
Executive from filing a statutory claim concerning employment with the Company or the termination thereof with the federal Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), or similar state agencies. However, if Executive does so, or if any
such claim is prosecuted in his/her name before any court or administrative agency, Executive waives and agrees not to take any
award of money or other damages from such suit.

 

Further, this
release does not limit or proscribe Executive’s non-waivable right to participate as a witness
or cooperate in any investigation by the EEOC or other agency, apply to any claim arising out of conduct occurring after the date
this Agreement is signed, apply to any claim to enforce the terms of this Agreement or apply to any claim to challenge the validity
of this Agreement under the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act.

 

(ii)     Release
By Company. Subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, and in exchange for the agreements of Executive herein, the Company
hereby:

 

(1)     forever
releases and discharges Executive, his/her heirs and personal representatives, from any and all claims, actions, causes of action
and demands of the Company, its officers, directors, and other stockholders, known or unknown, arising out of or in any way relating
to any claims heretofore made by such persons against Executive, and any other claims that may arise in connection with Executive's
capacity as an employee, officer or stockholder of the Company (whether directly or indirectly), including without limitation all
damages, costs and expenses incurred or otherwise suffered by the Company, its officers, directors, and other stockholders in connection
therewith, specifically excluding, however, any claim for breach of any representation, warranty, obligation or covenant of Executive
contained in this Agreement and any claims, actions, causes of actions and demands arising from any deliberately dishonest, malicious
or fraudulent act or omission or any willful violation of law by Executive; and

 

(2)     covenants
and agrees not to sue or bring, or cause or permit to be commenced, any action or legal proceeding, against Executive, his/her
heirs or personal representatives in connection with any claim, action, cause of action or demand released by such persons herein.

 

    	7

    	 

    
 

(iii)     Mutual
Assurances. The Parties hereto hereby mutually affirm and warrant to the other that they are unaware of any asserted or unasserted
claims, causes of action or lawsuits against or by either party against the other, and as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement,
do hereby mutually release and hold each other harmless from any such claims that may now exist or subsequently arise.

 

(b)     Allocation
of Severance Benefit. The Company and Executive agree that the Severance Benefit shall be allocated totally as severance compensation
to Executive. The Parties hereto agree to consistently report this allocation in the manner set forth above on their books and
tax returns.

 

(c)     Compromise
of Disputed Claims. The Parties acknowledge that this is a compromise and settlement and that this Severance Benefit is to
provide severance compensation to Executive and to avoid the potential expense and inconvenience of litigation, and that neither
party admits any liability with respect to the foregoing, and in fact, each party expressly denies liability with respect thereto.
In no event shall anything contained herein be construed as an admission of liability on the part of any of the parties hereto
or any other persons released from liability herein.

 

(d)     Full
and Complete Settlement. Executive acknowledges that the agreements contained herein and payment of the Severance Benefit are
to be made and received in full and complete settlement and satisfaction of all of the aforesaid claims, actions, causes of actions,
demands, damages, costs and expenses. The Company acknowledges that Executive's agreements contained herein are to be made and
received in full and complete settlement and satisfaction of all of the aforesaid claims, action, causes of actions, demands, damages,
costs and expenses. This Agreement is entered into freely and voluntarily by the parties with the approval and the opportunity
to obtain the advice of counsel.

 

7.          Indemnification
and Insurance.

 

(a)     Indemnification.
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Executive from and against all costs, damages, expenses, liabilities, claims,
suits and causes of action of every nature arising out of or in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless Executive from any claims, actions,
causes of actions and demands arising from any deliberately dishonest, malicious or fraudulent act or omission or any willful violation
of law by Executive.

 

(b)     Insurance.
The Company agrees that it will maintain its existing directors and officers liability insurance policy until December 31, 2015;
provided, however, that the Company shall have the option to terminate such policy at any time and obtain tail insurance in its
place providing for coverage of the Executive on the date prior to the date hereof so long as coverage under such tail policy extends
through December 31, 2015.

 

    	8

    	 

    
 

8.          No
Encouragement of Claims. The Parties will not encourage any person to file a lawsuit, claim, or complaint against any of the
Parties. The Parties will not assist any person who has filed a lawsuit, claim, or complaint against any of the Parties unless
it is required to render such assistance pursuant to a lawful subpoena or other legal obligation.

 

9.          Return
of Company’s Property. Executive agrees that he/she shall return to Company all of its property that is in Executive’s
possession or control including, without limitation, all keys, computer hardware, materials, papers, books, files, documents, records,
policies, customer information and lists, sales and marketing information, data base information and lists, mailing lists, notes,
computer software and programs, data, and any other property or information that Executive may have relating to Company, its customers,
Executives, policies, or practices (whether those materials are in paper or computer-stored form).

 

10.          Cooperation.
Executive agrees to cooperate with Company in any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding as
reasonably requested by Company including, without limitation, Executive being available to Company upon reasonable notice for
