RECITALS
WHEREAS,
on or about October 25, 2007, the Company issued a $55,000 convertible
promissory note (the “Initial Note,” a copy

Further, the Company agrees to indemnify Noctua and hold it individually and
collectively harmless against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
incurred by Noctua, in connection with, or relating in any manner, directly or
indirectly, to the Initial Note or the Settlement Notes. Additionally, the
Company agrees to immediately reimburse Noctua individually and collectively for
any and all expenses, including, without limitation, attorney fees, incurred by
Noctua in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or
otherwise being involved in, any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings arising
out of or in connection with or relating in any manner, directly or indirectly,
to Noctua’s business relationships with the Company, including, but not limited
to the Initial Note or the Settlement Notes (as defendant, nonparty, or in any
other capacity other than as a plaintiff, including, without limitation, as a
party in an interpleader action). The Company further agrees that the
indemnification and reimbursement commitments set forth in this paragraph shall
extend to any controlling person, strategic alliance, partner, member,
shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Noctua and
their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. The
provisions set forth in this Section shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
2. New
Loan. Noctua shall deliver to the Company $1,333 (the
“New Loan”)
which shall be used for the corporate actions described above and shall be
included in the balance of the Settlement Notes.

Settlement Notes shall be binding upon the Company and its successors, and shall
inure to the benefit of Noctua and their successors and assigns. The Settlement
Notes, and all of the terms and conditions described herein, are assignable and
may be transferred sold, or pledged, hypothecated or otherwise granted as
security by Noctua at their sole discretion. The Company may not assign any of
its obligations under the Settlement Notes without the consent of
Noctua.
4. Dispute
Resolution. The subject matter of this Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida
(without reference to its choice of law principles), and to the exclusion of the
law of any other forum, without regard to the jurisdiction in which any action
or special proceeding may be instituted. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES TO
SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL COURTS
LOCATED IN FLORIDA FOR RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION
WITH, OR BY REASON OF THE INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS

purpose of enforcing or constituting this Agreement, or any judgment based on
this Agreement, in any legal proceeding whatsoever, including insolvency,
bankruptcy, arbitration, declaratory relief or other litigation, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to receive from the other party or parties thereto
reimbursement for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all reasonable costs,
including but not limited to service of process, filing fees, court and court
reporter costs, investigative costs, expert witness fees, and the cost of any

WHEREAS,
on or about August 15, 2009, CoConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), entered
into a note exchange agreement with Noctua Fund, LP, a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Holder”) requiring
the issuance of a promissory note to the holder in the amount of $28,166 (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:
:
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 secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the
aggregate principal amount of Twenty Eight Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Six
Dollars (US$28,166), 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.

nature under (1) the articles or certificate of incorporation, charter or bylaws
of the Borrower, (2) any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule, regulation
or determination applicable to the Borrower of any court, governmental agency or

conflict, breach, or default of which would not have a Material Adverse
Effect;
(ii) result
in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the
Securities or any of the assets of the Borrower or any of its affiliates, except
as contemplated herein;
(iii) result
in the activation of any anti-dilution rights or a reset or repricing of any
debt or security instrument of any other creditor or equity holder of the

Holder.
(h) Defaults. The
Borrower is not in violation of its articles of incorporation or bylaws and is
(i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are
bound or affected, which default or violation would have a Material Adverse
Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator
or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or
governmental authority arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any

(i) Not an Integrated
Offering. 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. Nor will the Borrower or any of
its affiliates take any action or steps that would cause the offer or issuance
of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings which would impair the
exemptions relied upon in this offering or the Borrower’s ability to timely
comply with its obligations hereunder. The Borrower will not conduct any
offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that will be integrated
with the offer or issuance of the Securities which would impair the exemptions
relied upon in this offering or the Borrower’s ability to timely comply with its
obligations hereunder.

Liabilities. The Borrower has no liabilities or obligations
which are material, individually or in the aggregate, which are not disclosed

“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.
(l) Survival. The
foregoing representations and warranties shall survive until three (3) years
after the Issuance Date.
3.2 Representations and
Warranties of the Holder. The Holder hereby represents and
warrants to the Borrower with respect solely to itself and not with respect to
any other Holder as follows:
(a) Organization and Standing of
the Holder. The Holder is a limited partnership duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its Delaware.
(b) Authorization and
Power. The Holder has the requisite power and authority to
enter into this Note and to receive the Securities being sold to it
hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Securities
by the Holder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and
no further consent or authorization of such Holder or its Board of Directors,
stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is required. When executed and
delivered by the Holder, the Note shall constitute valid and binding obligations
of the Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with their terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship,
receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditor's rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(c) Acquisition for
Investment. The Holder is purchasing the Securities solely for
its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with
distribution. The Holder does not have a present intention to sell any of the
Securities, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or
intention to effect any distribution of any of the Securities to or through any
person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
such Holder does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other
specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in
accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such
disposition. The Holder acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters such that Holder is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of Holder's investment in the Borrower, (ii) is
able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities
and (iii) has been given full access to such records of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries and to the officers of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as it has
deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence
investigation.
(d) No General
Solicitation. The Holder acknowledges that the Securities were
not offered to such Holder by means of any form of general or public
solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or

The
Borrower covenants with the Holder as follows, which covenants are for the
benefit of the Holder and their respective permitted assignees.
4.1 Inspection
Rights. The Borrower shall permit, during normal business
hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, the Holder or any
employees, agents or representatives thereof, so long as such Holder shall be
obligated hereunder to purchase the Note or shall beneficially own any
Conversion Shares for purposes reasonably related to such Holder's interests as
a stockholder, to examine the publicly available, non-confidential records and
books of account of, and visit and inspect the properties, assets, operations
and business of the Borrower and any Subsidiary, and to discuss the publicly
available, non-confidential affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and
any Subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key
employees.
4.2 Compliance with
Laws. The Borrower shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary to
comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance
with which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
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 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.
4.8 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.
4.9 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.
4.10 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. The Borrower warrants
that no instruction other than 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 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 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.
4.11 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.
4.12 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.
4.13 Restrictions 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,
without the prior written consent of the Holder with such consent not, provided
adequate security to the Holder, to be unreasonably withheld.

requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to any or

2. Interest. Beginning

issuance of this Note, or is hereafter be changed or reclassified, at a “Conversion Price”
equal to $0.01 per share; provided,
however, 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 with written consent from the
Borrower 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

thereunder.

remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof and until the
Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
