AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter stated and for other good and valuable consideration, it is agreed as follows:

The Company hereby engages Consultant and Consultant agrees to render the Services to the Company as a consultant upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

2.           TERM.

The term of this Consulting Agreement shall begin as of the Effective Date, and shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) a Closing (as defined herein); or (ii) the one year anniversary following the Effective Date (the “Termination Date”).

The Company seeks to enter into an agreement to acquire and manage new assets and/or a business (a “Transaction”). During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall provide the Company with the following “Services” as outlined in this section below related to the final goal of effectuating a Transaction. The Parties understand and confirm the Services contemplated herein are front-end loaded and substantial efforts are to be expended in commencing such Services, regardless of the occurrence of a Closing. The Services shall be limited to making recommendations and offering advice to the Company’s Officers, Directors and other key Company personnel. As offsite advisors, Consultant will rely upon the Company’s management to, in the Company’s sole discretion, accept or reject its recommendations. Under no circumstances, even in the event that Consultant is asked to perform onsite analysis, shall Consultant be responsible for making any decisions on behalf of the Company.

The Services shall include:

(a)           Assist the Company in locating qualified management candidates for the Company to interview. It is the Company’s goal to utilize the Consultant’s services to locate a new Chief Executive Officer and two (2) new members to be appointed to the Board of Directors;

(b)           Assist in the review of the Company’s historical operational and financial activities and advise management, with a particular focus on preparing a corporate due diligence book. In addition, the Consultant shall provide assistance with general corporate strategic planning with the objective of preparing the Company to effectuate a target Transaction;

(c)           Assist the Company in locating target Transaction candidates; and

(d)           Assist in the review of any target Transaction candidate’s historical, operational and financial activities.

Consultant agrees to provide the Services on a timely basis via meetings with Company representatives which may include other professionals, conferences calls with Company representatives and other professionals and/or written correspondence and documentation. Consultant cannot guarantee the results on behalf of the Company, but shall pursue all avenues that it deems reasonable through its network of contacts.  Consultant is not a law firm, and shall not provide the Company with legal work product.  All documents produced by Consultant should be thoroughly reviewed (including this one) by the Company’s independent legal counsel prior to the same documents being executed by an executive of the Company.

Upon completion of each individual Service described in this section, the Consultant may, at its discretion, deliver to the Company a written verification of the completion of such Services. In the event the Consultant delivers such verification, the Company shall execute and return such verification within fifteen (15) days of such notice. In the event such verification notice is delivered and the Company does not contest the completion of such Services within the fifteen (15) day period provided for herein, such Service shall be deemed fulfilled and completed by the Consultant and the Company shall forever waive any right to dispute the valid delivery of such Services (each a “Release”). Each release shall contain a waiver of rights under California Civil Code Section 1542 which provides as follows: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

4.           COMPENSATION.                                           
 
       Due to the fact the Services are front-end loaded and substantial efforts are expended in commencing such Services, all compensation (hereinafter referred to as “Compensation” and more further described in this Section 4) delivered and paid to Consultant pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed completely earned, due, payable, free of liens or encumbrances, and non-assessable.  Once Compensation is tendered to Consultant, there shall be no refunds or diminishment of the same regardless of any event.  In connection with this Agreement, the Company shall pay Consultant the following fees:

The Service Fee shall be deemed completely earned, due, payable, free of liens or encumbrances, and non-assessable within thirty days of the Effective Date and shall accrue as owing, due and payable on the Company’s balance sheet.

Interest Rate:                                   12%
   


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CoConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), has entered into this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) and hereby promises to pay to Noctua Fund Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Holder”) as further described herein, the sum of $__________. The Holder and the Borrower may hereinafter be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other agreements contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Borrower hereby issues this Note and the Parties hereby agree as follows:
 
SECTION 1
GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
1.1            Issuance of Note.  Upon the following terms and conditions, the Borrower hereby issues to the Holder, and the Holder hereby accepts from the Borrower, this Note, convertible into shares of the Borrower's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), due and payable on or before one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Issuance Date (the “Maturity Date”). Subject to the conversion rights of the Holder as described herein, the Note may only be repaid by the Borrower in its entirety, including all principal and interest due and owing at such time of repayment, and may not be repaid by the Borrower in installments or increments without the express prior written consent of the Holder. The Borrower and the Holder are executing and delivering this Note in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act"), including Regulation D, and/or upon such other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to any or all of the investments to be made hereunder.
 
­1.2           Interest.  Beginning on the Issuance Date, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears, at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%), of the Note, payable upon the Maturity Date at the option of the Holder in (i) cash, or (ii) in registered shares of Common Stock. If Holder elects to receive interest in Common Stock, the price of the Common Stock shall be determined in accordance with Section 2 herein. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months and shall accrue commencing on the Issuance Date. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 5 below), then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower will pay interest to the Holder, payable on demand, on the outstanding principal balance of the Note from the date of the Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured at the rate of the lesser of (i) fifteen percent (15%); and (ii) the maximum applicable legal rate per annum. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.  In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against any principal amount owed by the Borrower to the Holder and thus refunded to the Borrower.
 
1.3            Conversion.  Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement,” attached hereto as Exhibit A), the Borrower has authorized, and has reserved and covenants to continue to reserve in escrow, free of preemptive rights and other similar contractual rights of stockholders, three (3) times the number of shares of Common Stock convertible under the Note as of the Issuance Date equal to __________________ shares of Common Stock (the “Escrow Pool”). In the event the shares held in the Escrow Pool are exhausted through conversion of the Note and any principal or interest under the Note remains outstanding, from time to time and upon sole demand by the Holder and with no further consent needed from the Company, the Company’s transfer agent shall issue into the Escrow Pool additional shares such that the number of shares in the Escrow Pool as of such demand date maintains the three times multiple described above. Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and any interest accrued and outstanding on the Note are herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares”. The Note and the Conversion Shares are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”. The conversion privileges set forth in Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect immediately from Issuance Date and until the Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default.  The Note shall be payable in full upon demand, unless previously converted into Common Stock in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
 
1.4           Security Interest.  The Note shall be secured by all of the assets of the Borrower up to the amount of this Note (the “Collateral”). The Borrower hereby provides the Holder express consent to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement for the purpose of securing the Holder’s interest in the Collateral.
 
 
SECTION 2
CONVERSION RIGHTS
 
The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under this Note into Conversion Shares as set forth below.
 
2.1           Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock.
 
(a)          The Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, at the election of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the conversion price per share of $0.01 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Borrower of a notice of conversion, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three (3) business days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”) that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, if any, through the Conversion Date directly to the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the Note to be converted by the Conversion Price.
 
(b)            The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to this Section 2, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
 
(i)           Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.  If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or Holder after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
 
(ii)           Reclassification, etc.  If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
 
(iii)           Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends.  In the event of any capital restructuring of the Borrower including, but not limited to, any event in which the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the lesser of: (i) $0.01; or (ii) 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock as quoted by Bloomberg, LP for the thirty (30) day period prior to such Conversion Date.
 
(iv)           Ratchet Provision.   If the Borrower shall issue or agree to issue any shares of Common Stock for a consideration less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to match such subsequent lower issuance price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price.
 
(v)          Event of Default.   The Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.2 herein.
 
 (c)           Borrower represents that upon the issuance of any Conversion Shares, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
 
2.2           Method of Conversion.  This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in this Section.  Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
 
2.3           Maximum Conversion.  The Holder shall not be entitled to convert an amount of the Note which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower on such Conversion Date; provided, however, the Holder may waive the limitations set forth herein at its sole and absolute discretion by written notice of not less than sixty-one (61) days to the Borrower.  For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversion by the Holder may exceed 4.99%.The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.  The Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this section, in whole or in part, upon and effective after ten (10) days prior written notice to the Borrower to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%. The Holder may allocate which of the equity of the Borrower deemed beneficially owned by the Holder shall be included in the 4.99% amount or up to 9.99% amount as described above.
 
2.4            Buy-In.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Borrower fails to deliver to the Holder shares issuable upon conversion of a Note by the Delivery Date (as defined herein) and if after seven (7) business days after such date the Holder or a broker on the Holder’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Common Stock which the Holder was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Borrower shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (i) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (ii) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note for which such conversion, exercise or required delivery was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of note principal having an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, then the Borrower shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus interest. The Holder shall provide the Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

The Borrower is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  For purpose of this Note, a “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, properties or business of the Borrower taken individually, or in the aggregate, as a whole.  For purposes of this Note, “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any entity at any date, any corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, association, joint venture or other business entity of which more than 50% of (i) the outstanding capital stock having (in the absence of contingencies) ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other managing body of such entity, (ii) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company, the interest in the capital or profits of such partnership or limited liability company or (iii) in the case of a trust, estate, association, joint venture or other entity, the beneficial interest in such trust, estate, association or other entity business is, at the time of determination, owned or controlled directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by such entity.

4.3           Keeping of Records and Books of Account.  The Borrower shall keep and cause each Subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.
 
4.4           Other Agreements.  The Borrower shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability to perform of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under the Note.
 
4.5           Disclosure of Material Information.  The Borrower covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Holder or its agents or counsel with any information that the Borrower believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Holder shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.  The Borrower understands and confirms that the Holder shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Borrower. In the event such information is disclosed to the Holder, the Borrower shall publicly disclose such information in a Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four days of the disclosure of such information.
 
4.6           Pledge of Securities.  The Borrower acknowledges that the Securities may be pledged by a Holder in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Holder effecting a pledge of the Securities shall be required to provide the Borrower with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Borrower pursuant to this Note; provided that a Holder and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions herein in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee.
 
 
4.7           Corporate Document Amendments.  The Borrower shall not amend or waive any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Borrower without the express written consent of the Holder.

4.9           Distributions.  So long as the Note remains outstanding, the Borrower agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or other equity security of the Borrower or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Borrower.
 
4.10           Reservation of Shares.  So long as the Note remains outstanding, the Borrower shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance, one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares.
 
4.11           Transfer Agent.  The Borrower’s current transfer agent is Action Stock Transfer Corporation. So long as the Note remains outstanding, the Borrower shall not change transfer agents without the express written consent of the Holder. In addition, the Borrower shall issue irrevocable instructions (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions” attached hereto as Exhibit B) to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent which shall reference this Note and the rights, powers and privileges provided to the Holder hereunder which shall be acknowledged and agreed to by the transfer agent. The Borrower warrants that no instruction other than the Escrow Agreement and the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section will be given by the Borrower to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Borrower as and to the extent provided in this Note. If the Holder provides the Borrower or the Borrower’s transfer agent with an opinion of counsel of the Holder’s choosing to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Holder provides the Borrower with reasonable assurances that the Conversion Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (or any other exemption to the Securities Act) without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the transfer agent to accept such opinion or assurances without any Borrower approval required and expressly authorizes and instructs the transfer agent to affect such transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, issue one or more certificates (or transfer via electronic DWAC transfer if applicable) in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Holder and without any restrictive legend.  The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section will cause irreparable harm to the Holder by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Section, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer of such shares, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
 
4.12           Disposition of Assets.  So long as the Note remains outstanding, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its intellectual property to any person except for sales with the prior written consent of the Holder.
 
4.13           Restrictions on Issuances of Securities.  So long as any amount of the principal or interest of the Note remains outstanding, the Borrower shall not issue any additional securities, including any class of common or preferred shares, nor designate any new class of securities without the prior written consent of the Holder.
 
4.14           Restrictions and Conditions on Subsequent Financings.  So long as any amount of the principal or interest of the Note remains outstanding, the Borrower shall not offer or sell to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party any debt instrument, including, but not limited to securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock or any other equity security of the Borrower (a “Subsequent Financing”), without notice to the Holder and prior written consent of the Holder with such consent not, provided adequate security to the Holder, to be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Borrower enters into a Subsequent Financing with consent from the Holder, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to match such subsequent lower issuance price in such Subsequent Financing. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. In addition, in the event the Borrower enters into any Subsequent Financing with consent from the Holder, the Holder shall maintain the right to convert any outstanding principal balance and interest of the Note at such time into the financial instrument and under the same terms of such Subsequent Financing. In the event the Borrower offers any Subsequent Financing with consent from the Holder, the Holder shall maintain a right of first refusal such that the Holder shall have the right, at its sole and exclusive option, to purchase up to one hundred percent (100%) of the debt or equity instruments offered in such Subsequent Financing.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other agreements described in this Agreement and the Note, and for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
 
GENERAL TERMS
 
1.1           Company Reservation.  The Escrow Agent shall reserve from the Company’s treasury the Escrow Pool which shall be reserved for the benefit of NFM and held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Note. In the event the shares held in the Escrow Pool are exhausted through conversion of the Note and any principal or interest under the Note remains outstanding, from time to time and upon sole demand by the NFM and with no further consent needed from the Company, the Company’s transfer agent shall issue into the Escrow Pool additional shares such that the number of shares in the Escrow Pool as of such demand date maintains the three times multiple described above.
 
1.2           Intention to Restrict Issuance of the Escrow Pool.  The Company intends that Escrow Pool shall be reserved by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the Note.

Dear Ms. Blankenship
 
Reference is made to the Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note,” a copy of which has been attached hereto as Exhibit A) dated as of ___________, 2010 by and among CoConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Noctua Fund Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NFM”). Pursuant to the terms of the Note, NFM is entitled to shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) held in escrow pursuant to the related escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) upon conversion of the Note. This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time, or to the transfer agent of record at such time) to issue any Conversion Shares to or upon the order of NFM from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the Note.
 
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Note and Escrow Agreement, the Company is required to reserve in escrow, free of preemptive rights and other similar contractual rights of stockholders, three times the number of shares of the Company’s common stock convertible under the Note as of the Issuance Date equal to __________________ shares of common stock (the “Escrow Pool”). In the event the shares held in the Escrow Pool are exhausted through conversion of the Note and any principal or interest under the Note remains outstanding, from time to time and upon sole demand by NFM and with no further consent needed from the Company, the Company’s transfer agent is required to issue into the Escrow Pool additional shares such that the number of shares in the Escrow Pool as of such demand date maintains the three times multiple described above. This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time, or to the transfer agent of record at such time) to issue such additional shares into escrow described herein upon the order of NFM from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the Note and the Escrow Agreement.
 
In connection with the Conversion Shares, so long as you have previously received written confirmation from counsel to the Company or NFM that (a) a registration statement covering resale of Conversion Shares has been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or (b) the Conversion may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or any other such exemption of the 1933 Act, then certificates representing the Conversion Shares shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction.
 
Please be advised that NFM is relying upon this letter as an inducement to enter into the Note and, accordingly, NFM is a third party beneficiary to these instructions.
 
Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to act in accordance with these instructions.
 
Very truly yours,                                                                   Acknowledged, agreed and accepted:

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
TO THE
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
COCONNECT, INC.
A Nevada Corporation

COCONNECT, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”) organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes of the State of Nevada (the “NRS”) DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:
 
Pursuant to the NRS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation hereby files this Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) and amends Article Three as follows:
 
RESOLVED, that the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation be amended as follows:
 
ARTICLE THREE. [CAPITAL STOCK].
 
3.1           Authorized Capital Stock.  The aggregate number of shares which this Corporation shall have authority to issue is Ten Billion (10,000,000,000) shares, consisting of (a) Nine Billion Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Thousand (9,999,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (b) One Million (1,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable in one or more series as hereinafter provided. A description of the classes of shares and a statement of the number of shares in each class and the relative rights, voting power, and preferences granted to, and restrictions imposed upon, the shares of each class are as follows:
 
3.2           Common Stock. Each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to one vote and each fractional share of Common Stock shall be entitled to a corresponding fractional vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders.  A majority of all shares of stock, both Common Stock and Preferred Stock, entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. Except as otherwise provided by these Articles of Incorporation or the NRS, if a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders. Cumulative voting shall not be allowed in the election of directors of the Corporation.
 
3.3           Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in any number of series from time to time by the Board of Directors, subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock as described herein, and the Board of Directors, pursuant to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, is expressly authorized to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations and the voting powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of each series of Preferred Stock. The voting powers, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, if any, of the preferred stock, in one or more series, shall be as follows:
 
A.           Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation is authorized to issue up to One Million (1,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock. One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated “Series A Preferred Stock” with the following rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations.
 
1.           Voting Rights.  The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Holders”), shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting and to vote as a single class upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote as follows: the Series A Holder shall have such number of votes as is determined by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Series A Preferred Stock, any other series of Preferred Stock and Common Stock on a Fully-Diluted Basis1 as of the record date for the vote, or, if no such record date is established, as of the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, and (c) 0.000006. Such voting calculation is hereby authorized by the Corporation and the Corporation acknowledges such calculation may result in the total number of possible votes cast by the Series A Holders and all other classes of the Corporation’s stock in any given voting matter exceeding the total aggregate number of shares which this Corporation shall have authority to issue.
 
1          “Fully-Diluted Basis” shall mean the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated to include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise and/or conversion of all of the following outstanding: (a) securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether or not then convertible or exchangeable (collectively, “Convertible Securities”), (b) subscriptions, rights, options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, whether or not then exercisable (collectively, “Options”), and (c) securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Options or Convertible Securities and any such underlying Options and/or Convertible Securities.
 
2.          Liquidation Rights.
 
a.           Liquidation.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed as follows:
 
i.           The Series A Holders shall be entitled to receive, prior to the holders of all other series of Preferred Stock and Common stock and prior and in preference to any distribution of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of any other shares of stock of the corporation by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount equal to $1.25 per share.
 
ii.           If upon occurrence of a Liquidation the assets and funds thus distributed among the Series A Holders shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the Series A Holders ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
 
iii.           After payment of the full amounts to the Series A Holders as set forth herein, any remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of any other Preferred Stock and then Common Stock (in the case of the Preferred Stock, on an “as converted” basis into Common Stock).
 
For purposes of this Section , and unless a majority of the Series A Holders affirmatively vote or agree by written consent to the contrary, a Liquidation shall be deemed to include: (i) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) and; (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, unless the Corporation’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the Corporation’s acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity.

Dear Ms. Blankenship
 
Reference is made to the Advisory Services Agreement (the “Agreement,” a copy of which has been attached hereto as Exhibit A) dated as of November 15, 2009 by and among CoConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Noctua Fund Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NFM”) in which the Company has agreed to compensate NFM with certain Fees and/or the issuance of a Note (Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings provided for in the Agreement).
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, until such time as the Fees are paid in full, in the event the Company takes any corporate action included in Section 4(c) of the Agreement, including but not limited to amending it’s Articles of Incorporation, designating any new class of stock, affecting a reverse split of its stock, affecting a forward split of its stock or altering its capital structure in any way, shape or form (the “Corporate Actions”), the Company is required to designate a preferred class of stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) with such rights, powers, privileges and preferences as outlined in the specimen Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation designating the Series A Preferred Stock attached hereto as Exhibit B, and immediately issue 100,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (which shall represent 100% of the Series A Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding) to NFM who shall hold such shares until the Fees and/or Note are paid in full.
 
In addition, pursuant to the same Section 4(c), the transfer agent shall, immediately upon demand by the NFM, provide NFM information regarding the Company’s capital structure and stock issuance history, including, but not limited to: (i) the number of shares of common stock authorized, issued and outstanding; (ii) the number of shares of preferred stock authorized, issued and outstanding; and (iii) a complete issuance history of any class of stock and for any period so requested.
 
This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time and if not, then such instruction shall be directed to the Company’s transfer agent at such time), to: (i) refuse to enact any of the Corporate Actions until such time as the Company designates the Series A Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State and issues the Series A Preferred Stock to NFM; and (ii) provide NFM with any of the information regarding the Company’s capital structure and issuance history as outlined above.
 
Please be advised that NFM is relying upon this letter as an inducement to enter into the Agreement and, accordingly, NFM is a third party beneficiary to these instructions.
 
Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to act in accordance with these instructions.
 
Very truly yours,                                                                   Acknowledged, agreed and accepted:
