The Company entered into a twelve-month director agreement with Dr. Kurtis, effective August 13, 2021 (the “Agreement”), which will automatically renew unless Dr. Kurtis gives 30 days prior notice of her desire not to renew the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, Dr. Kurtis will be paid $1,000 per month for serving as a director, which shall accrue as debt until the Company has its first cash flow positive month. At the completion of the term of the Agreement or if Dr. Kurtis has been removed or resigned, any accrued amount owed will be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of $0.15 per share or the 20-day volume weighted average price from the date of termination or resignation.

Shares subject to the option become exercisable one year from the date of grant.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Kurtis and any other person pursuant to which she was appointed as a director of the Company.

BACKGROUND
Each of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Director desires to memorialize the role of the Director and to have the Director perform the duties required of such position in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration for the above recited promises and the mutual promises contained herein, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Director hereby agree as follows:

The Company requires that the Director be available to perform the duties of a director customarily related to this function as may be determined and assigned by the Board of Directors of the Company and as may be required by the Company’s constituent instruments, including its certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws and its corporate governance and board committee charters, each as amended or modified from time to time, and by applicable law, including by the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”). |
The Director agrees to devote as much time as is necessary to perform completely the duties as the Director of the Company, including duties as a member of any committees as the Director may hereafter be appointed to by the Board of Directors.

Such duties include but are not limited to assisting the Company with the development of business and new business strategies relating to the objectives of the Company, participation in the Company’s investor relations activities including road shows and shareholder communication activities, and participation in corporate strategy decisions of the Company.
The commitment of Dr. Kurtis’ time and efforts towards board duty responsibilities will be five (5) hours maximum per month.
| 2. | TERM. The term of this engagement shall be for twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement (the “Term”), or until the Director’s removal or resignation. The term is renewed unless Purebase gives Dr. Kurtis 30 days’ notice not to renew. |

| ■ | Cash Fees: Dr. Kurtis shall receive a fee of $1,000.00 per month in cash. This fee shall accrue as debt to the Company until the Company has its first cash-flow positive month. At this point, the Company shall make arrangements to pay Dr. Kurtis the debt owed to her for these services. If a debt is still owed to Dr. Kurtis when the original Term is completed, or she has been removed or she has resigned, then the Debt owed to Dr. Kurtis shall be converted into common stock at the lower of price of $0.15 or the 20-day WVAP closing from the last date of Dr. Kurtis being on the board. The Company shall convert the Kurtis Debt and issue to Dr. Kurtis shares of common stock of the Company within 10 business days of the completion of the original Term, his removal or his resignation. |
| ■ | Equity Fees: Within 10 days upon signing of this contract, Dr. Kurtis shall be granted (two hundred thousand) 200,000 stock options that have a strike price of $0.36.

Such statement shall be accompanied by sufficient documentary matter to support the expenditures. |
| 5. | CONFIDENTIALITY. The Company and the Director each acknowledge that, in order for the intents and purposes of this Agreement to be accomplished, the Director shall necessarily be obtaining access to certain confidential information concerning the Company and its affairs, including, but not limited to business methods, information systems, financial data and strategic plans which are unique assets of the Company (“Confidential Information”).
