| Interest Rate: 5% | Maturity Date: November 15, 2009 |
WHEREAS, on or about August 15, 2009, CoConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), entered into a debt exchange agreement with Noctua Fund Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Holder”) requiring the issuance of a secured convertible promissory note to the holder in the total amount of $13,862 (the “Exchange Agreement,” a copy of which has been attached hereto as Exhibit A). 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 secured convertible promissory note and the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
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 (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of Thirteen Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty Two Dollars (US$13,862), convertible into shares of the Borrower's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), due and payable on or before November 15, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”). 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 of this Note (the “Issuance Date”), the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears, at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5%), 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 Article V 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 fifteen percent (15%) and 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 amounts owed by the Borrower to the Holder and thus refunded to the Borrower.
1.3 Conversion. Borrower has authorized, and has reserved and covenants to continue to reserve, free of preemptive rights and other similar contractual rights of stockholders, a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to effect the conversion of the Note and any interest accrued and outstanding thereon as of the Issuance Date. 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 Article II 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 Article II 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.
ARTICLE II
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 nonassessable 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, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, equal to $0.01 (the "Conversion Price"). 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 an 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.
(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 2.3, 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.

Neither the Borrower, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Note to be integrated with prior offerings by the Borrower for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the principal market which would impair the exemptions relied upon herein or the Borrower’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.

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, without the prior written consent of the Holder with such consent not, provided adequate security to the Holder, to be unreasonably withheld.
