CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


Up to $700,000.00

April 5, 2012


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Sunpeaks Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation, its assigns and successors (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to Lysander Overseas, Inc., or its successors or assigns (the “Holder”), in immediately available funds, the total principal sum of up to Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000.00), in accordance with the terms of this Note.  The principal hereof and any unpaid accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on April 5, 2014 (unless such payment date is accelerated as provided in Section 7 hereof (the “Maturity Date”)).  Payment of all amounts due hereunder shall be made at the address of the Holder provided for in Section 5 hereof.  Interest shall accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date funds have been advanced and shall continue to accrue until all unpaid principal and interest is paid in full.


1.

LOAN ADVANCES.  At such times as the Company and Holder shall agree, and in amounts as the Company and Holder shall agree, Holder will loan the Company up to $700,000 for its operating expenses.  Each such loan by the Holder to the Company shall be referred to as a “Loan Advance.”  The date and amount of each Loan Advance, and the total of all Loan Advances, will be recorded and updated on Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein.  Both the Company and the Holder must initial each Loan Advance for it to become an obligation of the Company, and any loans or other advances made by Holder to the Company which are not recorded in Exhibit A will not be considered a part of this Note.  This Note does not obligate the Holder to loan any money to the Company, but is meant to govern the terms of any money the Holder does loan the Company.


2.

PREPAYMENT.  The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note, without penalty or premium, provided that concurrently with each such prepayment the Company shall pay accrued interest on the principal, if any, so prepaid to the date of such prepayment.


3.

TRANSFERABILITY.  This Note shall not be transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or assigned by the either party without the express written consent of the other party.  In the event any third party acquires a controlling interest in the Company or acquires substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Reorganization Event”), this Note will survive and become an obligation of the party that acquires such controlling interest or assets.  In the event of a Reorganization Event the Company agrees to make the party that acquires such controlling interest or assets, aware of the terms of this Section and this Note.  


4.

CONVERSION.  The Holder is entitled, at his option, at any time or from time to time, and in whole or in part, to convert the outstanding principal amount of this Note, or any portion of the principal amount hereof, and any accrued interest, into shares of the common stock of the Company.  Any amounts Holder elects to convert will be converted into common stock at a conversion price which is eighty percent (80%) of the three (3) day average closing bid price immediately prior to the delivery of a notice of conversion to the Company (the “Conversion Price”).


5.

CONVERSION LIMITATION.  Notwithstanding Section 4 above, the Holder may not convert any outstanding amounts due under this Note if at the time of such conversion the amount of common stock issued for the conversion, when added to other shares of Company common stock owned by the Holder or which can be acquired by Holder upon exercise or conversion of any other instrument, would cause the Holder to own more than four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the maximum ownership percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.9% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Notes.

6.

CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.  In the event the Company should at any time after the date hereof do either of the following: i) fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding common stock of the Company, or ii) grant the holders of the Company’s common stock a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of common  stock without the payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of common stock (“Stock Adjustment”), then, as of the record date (or the date of such Stock Adjustment if no record date is fixed), the conversion price of this Note shall be appropriately adjusted so that the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be adjusted in proportion to such change in the number of outstanding shares in order to insure such Stock Adjustment does not decrease the conversion value of this Note.


7.

DEFAULT.  The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:


(a)

The non-payment, when due, of any principal or interest pursuant to this Note;


(b)

The material breach of any representation or warranty in this Note.  In the event the Holder becomes aware of a breach of this Section 7(b), the Holder shall notify the Company in writing of such breach and the Company shall have five business days after notice to cure such breach;


(c)

The breach of any covenant or undertaking, not otherwise provided for in this Section 7;


(d)

The commencement by the Company of any voluntary proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; or the adjudication of the Company as insolvent or bankrupt by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; or the petition or application by the Company for, acquiescence in, or consent by the Company to, the appointment of any receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company; or the assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors; or the written admission of the Company of its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or


(e)

The commencement against the Company of any proceeding relating to the Company under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, adjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, provided, however, that the commencement of such a proceeding shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the Company consents to the same or admits in writing the material allegations of same, or said proceeding shall remain undismissed for 20 days; or the issuance of any order, judgment or decree for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company, which order, judgment or decree remains undismissed for 20 days; or a warrant of attachment, execution, or similar process shall be issued against any substantial part of the property of the Company.


Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the Holder, may, by written notice to the Company, declare all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable (the thirty (30) day notice period in Section 1, above, will not be applicable in the case of an Event of Default), in which event it shall immediately be and become due and payable; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as set forth in paragraph (d) or paragraph (e) hereof, all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable without any such notice.
