PART I


ITEM 1.                                                         FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of
CoConnect, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheets of CoConnect, Inc. as of September 30, 2010, and the related condensed statements of operations, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  Because of the Company’s current status and limited operations there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to its current status are also described in the Notes to condensed financial statements.  The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

COCONNECT, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
At September 30, 2010
(Unaudited)

GENERAL

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-K Report for the fis cal year ended December 31, 2009.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  Because of the recurring operating losses and the excess of current liabilities over current assets, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  As of September 30, 2010 the company had convertible notes payable and its accrued interest of $289,131 that were in default status, due to an inability to make required payments.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on attaining profitable operations, restructuring its financial obligations, and obtaining additional outside financing.  The Company has funded losses from operations primarily from the issuance of debt and the sale of the Company’s com mon stock.  The Company believes that the issuance of debt and the sale of the Company’s common stock will continue to fund operating losses in the short-term until the Company can generate revenues sufficient to fund its operations.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense is provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.  Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  The differences relate primarily to the effects of net operating loss carry forwards and differing basis, depreciation methods, and lives of depreciable assets. The deferred tax assets represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be deductible when the assets are recovered.
 
No income tax benefit (expense) was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of tax losses in this period and because deferred tax benefits, derived from the Company’s prior net operating losses, were previously fully reserved and the Company has cumulative net operating losses for tax purposes in excess of $11 million.
 
The Company currently has tax return periods open beginning with December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2009.

LEASE AGREEMENT – RELATED PARTY

On September 29, 2010, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement with The Law Offices of Marc S. Applbaum. Pursuant to the terms of the Lease Agreement, the Company will sublease office space on a month-to-month basis for a monthly lease fee of $100. The Lease Agreement may be terminated by any party for any reason with ten (10) days written notice.  Marc S. Applbaum, Esq. is the Company’s President and Director.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, ADVISORY SERVICES AGREEMENT - CONVERTIBLE NOTE

In accordance with US GAAP, we recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert his debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the day the loan is made to the Company. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of debentures and related accruing interest is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the interest method.

A $55,000 0% convertible debenture was issued on October 25, 2007.  The note was payable on the first day of the month, beginning on November 1, 2007 and ending on February 1, 2008, the amount of $13,750 per month.  At the time of this note was issued it was convertible into common stock at $0.09.  This note was later purchased from the third party it was originally issued to by a related party, Noctua Fund, LP.  Noctua Fund, LP is managed by Noctua Fund Manager, LLC.  Mark L. Baum, Esq., is the Company’s former president, is also a managing member of Noctua Fund Manager, LLC.  As of August 15, 2009 no payments had been made and as a result of nonpayment this convertible debenture was in default.  

On August 15, 2009 the Company entered into a note exchange with Noctua Fund, LP.  The $55,000 0% convertible debenture was cancelled, and in exchange Noctua Fund, LP was issued two new convertible notes and guaranteed a future payment of $1,333 to help pay future Company expenses.  The two notes issued are both in the amounts of $28,167 with interest accruing at 5% of the principal balance.  The notes were both due on November 15, 2009 and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at $.01 per share.  At the time of the note agreement date, there was no determinable stock price, therefore there is no beneficial conversion feature that applies to this debenture.  These notes are currently in default and accruing interest at the default rate of 15%.

On August 15, 2009 the Company issued two convertible notes both in the amount of $13,862 with interest accruing at 5% of the principal balance.  The notes were issued as part of a debt settlement agreement with Noctua Fund Manager, LLC.  These notes are due on November 15, 2009 and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at $.01 per share.  At the time of the note agreement date, there was no determinable stock price, therefore there is no beneficial conversion feature that applies to this debenture.  Noctua Fund Manager, LLC’s managing member is Mark L. Baum, Esq. is our former President.  These notes are currently in default and accruing interest at the default rate of 15%.

On November 15, 2009 the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement (the “NFM Agreement”) with Noctua Fund Manager, LLC (“NFM”). Pursuant to the terms of the NFM Agreement, on March 15, 2010, the Company issued NFM a 12% secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $181,000 (the “NFM Note”). The note matures and is due 180 days following its issuance.  Pursuant to the terms of the NFM Agreement and the NFM Note, concurrently with the issuance of the NFM Note, the Company entered into an escrow agreement (the “NFM Escrow Agreement”) whereby 54,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were to be issued into escrow for the potential conversion of the NFM Note. In addition, the Company was required to designate and issue 100,000 shares, $0.001 par v alue, of Series Preferred A Stock to NFM. At the time of the note agreement date, there was no determinable stock price and limited trading activity, therefore there is no beneficial conversion feature that applies to this debenture.  Due to non payment, this note is currently in default and accruing interest at the default rate of 15%.

The Company received cash to make payments on certain trade payables or had payments made on its behalf by our Interim CEO, Brad Bingham, Esq., in the amount of $6,860.  The Company currently owes Mr. Bingham $6,860 and no payments have been made to him.

PREFERRED STOCK

Pursuant to the terms of the NFM Agreement, 100,000 shares of Preferred Series A stock were to be issued to NFM on March 15, 2010.

The designation of the Series A Preferred Stock provided for certain rights, powers and privileges given to the holder of shares of such Series A Preferred Stock including: (i) voting preference rights whereby the holder of such shares maintains a number of votes 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 basis 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) 0.00001; and (ii) a liquidation right of $1.25 per share of Series A Preferred Stock and senior to all other common shareholders.< /font>

As of September 30, 2010, Preferred stock, $0.001 par value: 1,000,000 shares authorized. 100,000 shares issued and outstanding

COMMON STOCK

During March 2010, pursuant to the terms of the NFM Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 54,300,000 shares of common stock into escrow.  The shares are to be held in the Company’s name for the benefit of NFM.  During May of 2010 these shares were issued.

As of September 30, 2010, Common stock, $0.001 par value: 4,999,000,000 shares authorized. 54,623,483 shares issued and 323,483 shares outstanding

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008, or interim periods therein, FASB ASC 815 (formerly, EITF 07-05) requires that warrants and convertible instruments with certain conversion or exercise price protection features be recorded as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet based on the fair value of the instruments.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches within the ASC 820-10 fair value measurement framework. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the m ost observable inputs be used when available. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
 
 
• Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.

• Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.
 
ASC 820-10 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.  The Company’s adoption of ASC 820-10 did not result in any changes to the accounting for its financial assets and liabilities.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has performed an evaluation of events occurring subsequent to the period end through the issuance date of this report. Based on our evaluation, nothing other than the events described below need to be disclosed.

On November 17, 2010, the Company issued its Chief Executive Officer, Brad M. Bingham, Esq., a convertible promissory note in the amount of $16,860 (the “BMB Note”). The BMB Note represents: (i) $6,860.00 previously advanced by Mr. Bingham on behalf of the Company and maintained on the Company’s books and records previously filed with the SEC; and (ii) an additional $10,000 cash advance to the Company by Mr. Bingham. The BMB Note is due and payable on May 17, 2011, maintains an interest rate of 5% and is convertible into 1,500,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (the “Conversion Shares”); provided however, such conversion rights are not applicable until 45 days following the issuance of the BMB Note.

In connection with the BMB Note, the Company entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Mr. Bingham. Pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, Mr. Bingham was issued the Conversion Shares which are to be held as security and collateral against either the repayment or conversion of the BMB Note. Although the Conversion Shares are issued in Mr. Bingham’s name and held as security and collateral against the payment of the BMB Note, the Conversion Shares may not be sold, pledged, transferred or hypothecated by Mr. Bingham unless and until he elects to convert the BMB Note pursuant to its terms and conditions into the Conversion Shares, or unless agreed upon in writing by the Company. In addition, following the issuance of the Conversion Shares as security pursuant to the Security Agreement an d prior to the conversion of the BMB Note into the Conversion Shares, if any, in the event of a Company shareholder vote, the Conversion Shares held as collateral shall be voted with the majority vote of any such shareholder vote and action and Mr. Bingham has granted an irrevocable proxy to the Company to vote the Conversion Shares as such. A copy of the Security Agreement has been attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.

Certain convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued to several noteholders (the “Noteholders”) in the total principal amount of $84,057 went into default due to nonpayment. Following default, the Company received demands from the Noteholders for the repayment of all principal and interest due thereunder. Following such default, the Noteholders agreed to waive the default and payment of all principal and interest due and payable under the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of such waiver, (i) the default interest rate under the Notes was to remain in effect and accrue until full repayment of the Notes, and (ii) the maturity date of the Notes was extended to March 10, 2010. On March 10, 2010, the Company was unable to repay the amounts due and owing under the Notes and, as such, the notes went into and remain unpa id and in default status. On October 26, 2010, the Noteholders filed a complaint against the Company arising from the unpaid Notes (the “Claims”). The Company is currently seeking counsel to represent the Company’s and manage the related possible litigation. Although the Company is continuing to use its best efforts to explore options available related to the repayment and/or retirement of the Notes and settlement of the Claims, no resolution has been made to date and, considering the current financial condition of the Company, including the unavailability of adequate cash or assets to resolve the amounts due and payable under the Notes, the Company believes the default under the Notes and subsequent complaint may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial stability and its ability to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 2.                      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Financial Statements and related notes. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We review our estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in ‘‘Critical Accounting Policies,’’ and have not changed significantly.
 
In addition, certain statements made in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Specifically, but not limited to, 1) our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for our products; and 2) our ability to increase revenues and operating income, is dependent upon our ability to develop and sell our products, general economic conditions, and other factors. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continues" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations and projections about future events, which we derive from the information currently available to us.  Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected-in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  Forward-looking statements are only predictions.  The forward-looking events discussed in this Quarterly Report, the documents to which we refer you, and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives, may not occur, and actual events and results may differ mater ially and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about us.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the “bespeaks caution” doctrine.  The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing.

OVERVIEW AND PLAN OF OPERATION

Our previous business model focused on the exploration of VoIP technology. VoIP is the delivery of voice information in the language of the Internet, i.e., as digital packets instead of the current circuit protocols of the copper-based phone networks. In VoIP systems analog voice messages are digitized and transmitted as a stream of data (not sound) packets that are reassembled and converted back into a voice signal at their destination. VoIP allows telephony users to bypass long-distance carrier charges by transporting those data packets just like other Internet information.

Although we are still investigating the profitability of pursuing the VoIP Technology business, management is of the belief that there may be more value for our shareholders if we were able to (i) attract a more substantial operating company and engage in a merger or business combination of some kind, or (ii) acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues. We have several acquisitions in mind and are investigating the candidates to determine whether or not they will add value to the Company for the benefit of our shareholders. Our Board of Directors intends to obtain certain assurances of value of the target entity's assets prior to consummating such a transaction. Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our p resent stockholders.

We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment, and we may consider, among others, finance, brokerage, insurance, transportation, communications, research and development, service, natural resources, manufacturing or high-technology business. Of course, because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with, will be limited accordingly. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly organized firm or with a firm which is entering a new phase of growth, it should be emphasized that we may incur further risk due to the failure of the target's management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the failure to establish a market for the target’s products or services, or the failure to prove or predict profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2010, the Company had total assets of $22,820 and total liabilities of $391,532, resulting in a working capital deficiency of $368,712. The Company had a stockholders' deficit of $368,712at September 30, 2010.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

On November 17, 2010, the Company issued its Chief Executive Officer, Brad M. Bingham, Esq., a convertible promissory note in the amount of $16,860 (the “BMB Note”). The BMB Note represents: (i) $6,860.00 previously advanced by Mr. Bingham on behalf of the Company and maintained on the Company’s books and records previously filed with the SEC; and (ii) an additional $10,000 cash advance to the Company by Mr. Bingham. The BMB Note is due and payable on May 17, 2011, maintains an interest rate of 5% and is convertible into 1,500,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (the “Conversion Shares”); provided however, such conversion rights are not applicable until 45 days following the issuance of the BMB Note. A copy of the BMB Note h as been attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the BMB Note, the Company entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Mr. Bingham. Pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, Mr. Bingham was issued the Conversion Shares which are to be held as security and collateral against either the repayment or conversion of the BMB Note. Although the Conversion Shares are issued in Mr. Bingham’s name and held as security and collateral against the payment of the BMB Note, the Conversion Shares may not be sold, pledged, transferred or hypothecated by Mr. Bingham unless and until he elects to convert the BMB Note pursuant to its terms and conditions into the Conversion Shares, or unless agreed upon in writing by the Company. In addition, following the issuance of the Conversion Shares as security pursuant to the Security Agreement an d prior to the conversion of the BMB Note into the Conversion Shares, if any, in the event of a Company shareholder vote, the Conversion Shares held as collateral shall be voted with the majority vote of any such shareholder vote and action and Mr. Bingham has granted an irrevocable proxy to the Company to vote the Conversion Shares as such. A copy of the Security Agreement has been attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING

Additional funding will be required in order for the company to survive as a going concern and to finance growth and to achieve our strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of funding. If we do not raise sufficient funds in the future, we may not be able to fund expansion, take advantage of future opportunities, meet our existing debt obligations or respond to unanticipated requirements. Financing transactions in the future may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms.

The amount and timing of our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the level of funding received from possible future private placements of our common stock and the level of funding obtained through other financing sources, and the timing of such funding.

We intend to retain any future earnings to retire any existing debt, finance the expansion of our business and any necessary capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.  We have had substantial operating losses for the past years and are dependent upon outside financing to continue operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is management’s plan to raise necessary funds from shareholders to satisfy the expense requirements of the Company.

ITEM 4.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal quarter. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Excha nge Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to them to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Such reasons for ineffectiveness were described in the Company’s Form 10-K, and subsequent amendments, for the period ending December 31, 2009.

During our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We currently do not have an audit committee, or a person serving on our Board of Directors who would qualify as a financial expert.

PART II

ITEM 1.                      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As disclosed in the Company’s previous filings with the SEC, certain convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued to several noteholders (the “Noteholders”) in the total principal amount of $84,057 went into default due to nonpayment. Following default, the Company received demands from the Noteholders for the repayment of all principal and interest due thereunder. Following such default, the Noteholders agreed to waive the default and payment of all principal and interest due and payable under the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of such waiver, (i) the default interest rate under the Notes was to remain in effect and accrue until full repayment of the Notes, and (ii) the maturity date of the Notes was extended to March 10, 2010. On March 10, 2010, the Company was unable to repay the amounts due and owin g under the Notes and, as such, the notes went into and remain unpaid and in default status. On October 26, 2010, the Noteholders filed a complaint against the Company arising from the unpaid Notes (the “Claims”). The Company is currently seeking counsel to represent the Company’s and manage the related possible litigation. Although the Company is continuing to use its best efforts to explore options available related to the repayment and/or retirement of the Notes and settlement of the Claims, no resolution has been made to date and, considering the current financial condition of the Company, including the unavailability of adequate cash or assets to resolve the amounts due and payable under the Notes, the Company believes the default under the Notes and subsequent complaint may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial stability and its ability to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 2.                      UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

As disclosed above, in connection with the BMB Note and Security Agreement, the Company issued 1,500,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) to Mr. Brad M Bingham, Esq., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as security and collateral against either the repayment or conversion of the BMB Note. Although the Conversion Shares are issued in Mr. Bingham’s name and held as security and collateral against the payment of the BMB Note, the Conversion Shares may not be sold, pledged, transferred or hypothecated by Mr. Bingham unless and until he elects to convert the BMB Note pursuant to its terms and conditions into the Conversion Shares, or unless agreed upon in writing by the Company. In addition, following the issuance of the Conversion Shares as security pursuant to t he Security Agreement and prior to the conversion of the BMB Note into the Conversion Shares, if any, in the event of a Company shareholder vote, the Conversion Shares held as collateral shall be voted with the majority vote of any such shareholder vote and action and Mr. Bingham granted an irrevocable proxy to the Company to vote the Conversion Shares as such.

12.           Injunctive Relief.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are essential to protect the Confidential Information, business, and goodwill of the Company.  Employee further acknowledges that the breach of any of the agreements contained herein will give rise to irreparable injury to the Company, inadequately compensable in damages.  Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or cure breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specific performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which may be available.  Employee further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of the termination of Employee's employment with the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, that the enforcement of a remedy hereunder by way of injunction shall not prevent Employee from earning a reasonable livelihood.  Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained herein are necessary for the protection of the Company's legitimate business interests and are reasonable in scope and content.

13.2           No Waiver.  The failure by either party at any time to require performance or compliance by the other of any of its obligations or agreements shall in no way affect the right to require such performance or compliance at any time thereafter.  The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.  No waiver of any kind shall be effective or binding, unless it is in writing and is signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.

13.3           No Assignment.  This Agreement and all rights hereunder are personal to Employee and may not be transferred or assigned by Employee at any time.  The Company may assign its rights, together with its obligations hereunder, to any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or successor, or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its business and assets, provided, however, that any such assignee assumes the Company's obligations hereunder.

13.4           Withholding.  All sums payable to Employee hereunder may be reduced by all federal, state, local and other withholding and similar taxes and payments required by applicable law.

13.5           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire and only agreement between the parties relating to employment of Employee with the Company, and this Agreement supersedes and cancels any and all previous contracts, arrangements or understandings with respect thereto.

Mutual Non-Disclosure and Non-Circumvention Agreement


THIS MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-CIRCUMVENTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made effective and executed as of September 29, 2010 by and between (i) CoConnect, Inc. (hereinafter “Company” and a “Party”) and (ii) Marc S. Applbaum (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Employee” and a “Party”) in an effort to assure the protection and preservation of the confidential and/or proprietary nature of information and certain relationships disclosed or made av ailable, or to be disclosed or made available, to each other in connection with certain discussions and/or negotiations with respect to the subject or subjects summarized and so stated below, and to prevent business and financial circumvention by Employee with respect to an Company Protected Party (as defined below). Employee and Company may be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS the Parties desire to assure the confidential status of the information which may be disclosed to each other;

NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance upon and in consideration of the following undertakings, the Parties agree as follows:

1.  
Subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 2, all information disclosed to Employee shall be deemed "Proprietary Information."  In particular, Proprietary Information shall be deemed to include any information disclosed, including but not limited to a Company  marketing technique, publicity technique, public relations technique, process, algorithm, program, design, drawing, formula, or test data research, work in progress, future development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, servicing, financing, present or future products, sales, suppliers, clients, customers, employees, investors, consultants, financial and investment banking, market making relationships or business or personal matter relating to the disclosing Party, whether in whole or in part, oral, written, graphic, or in an electronic form.

2.  
The term "Proprietary Information" shall not be deemed to include any information which (i) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of Employee, generally known or available information; (ii) is known by Employee at the time of receiving such information as evidenced by its records; (iii) is hereafter furnished to Employee by a third party, as a matter of right and without restriction on non-disclosure; (iv) is independently developed by Employee without reference to the information disclosed hereunder; or (v) is the subject of a written permission to disclose provided by the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, disclosure of Proprietary Information shall not be precluded if such disclosure:

a.  
Is in response to a valid order of a Court or other governmental body of the United States of America, or any other political subdivision thereof;
b.  
Is otherwise required by law; or
c.  
Is otherwise necessary to establish rights or enforce obligations under this agreement, but only to the extent that any such disclosure is necessary.

In the event that the Employee is requested in any proceedings before a court or any governmental body to disclose Proprietary Information, it shall give the Company prompt notice of such request so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order.  If in the absence of a protective order, the Employee is nonetheless compelled to disclose Proprietary Information, the Employee may disclose such information without liability hereunder; provided however, that the Employee gives the Company advanced written notice of the information to be disclosed and upon the request and at the expense of the Company, uses its best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

3.  
The Employee shall maintain trust and confidence and not disclose to any third party or use for any unauthorized purpose any Proprietary Information received from the Company. The Employee may use such Proprietary Information in the extent required to accomplish the purpose of the discussions with respect to the subject. Proprietary Information shall not be used for any purpose or in any manner that would constitute a violation of a valid law or regulation, including without limitation, export control law of the United States of America. No other rights or licenses to trademarks, inventions, copyrights or patents are implied or granted under this Agreement.

4.  
Proprietary Information supplied shall not be reproduced in any form except as required to accomplish the intent of this Agreement.

5.
