8% UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
| ISSUANCE DATE: | February 27, 2026 |
| MATURITY DATE: | February 27, 2027 |
This Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) is a duly authorized and issued convertible promissory note (the “Note”) of PUREBASE CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (the “Company’). The Note has been issued in accordance with exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a Line of Credit, dated as of even date herewith (the “Line of Credit Agreement”), between the Company and the Holder (as defined below). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Line of Credit Agreement.
Article I
Section 1.01. Principal. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of CORETER LLC (“CoreTer”), a Nevada limited liability company (together with its permitted assigns, the “Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of the lesser of (a) One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000), or (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans made by the Holder in its sole discretion pursuant to the Line of Credit Agreement and this Note, on February 27, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), together with all interest accrued thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note.
Section 1.02. Interest. Interest shall be payable on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Commencing to accrue on the date hereof and payable on the Maturity Date or earlier prepayment date as provided herein. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
Section 1.03. Payments. All payments made hereunder shall be credited, regardless of their designation by the Company, first to outstanding late charges, then to accrued and unpaid interest, and the remainder, if any, to principal. In no event shall the amount of interest payable under this Note exceed the maximum rate permitted by law and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, any interest payment that would, for any reason, be deemed unlawful shall be applied to the payment of principal. If any payment of principal or interest becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made not later than the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. All payment by the Company hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds. For purposes of this Note, the term “Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks are permitted or required to be open for the conduct of commercial banking business in New York, New York.
| Page 1 of 9 |
Section 1.04. Prepayment. At its option, the Company may prepay the principal amount of this Note, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium provided that on the date of prepayment the Company also pays all interest then accrued and unpaid on the principal amount of this Note.
Section 1.05. Requests for Loans. The Company may request that the Holder extend a loan under this Note by giving three (3) days’ advance written notice to the Holder of such request hereunder shall be delivered by email or facsimile transmission as provided in the Notices section of this Note and shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company.
Section 1.06. No Obligation to Extend Loan. Not withstanding any term in this in this Note to the contrary, the holder shall have no obligation to extend loans to the Company under this Note and the enumeration in this Note of specific obligations of the Company to the Holder and/or conditions to the availability of funds under this Note shall not be construed to qualify, define, or otherwise limit the Holder’s right, power, or ability, at any time, under applicable law, to decline to extend loans to the Company under this Note. The Company agrees that its breach or default under any of such obligations or conditions is not the only basis upon which the holder may decline to extend loans under this Note and that the Holder may decline to extend loans for any reason or no reason in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 1.07. Conversion. On the Maturity Date, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, determine to convert (each, a “Conversion”) all or part of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest due thereon, into shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion rate of the weighted average closing stock price of the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion of this note, as may be adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, reclassifications and other similar events which have occurred before such conversion (the “Conversion Price”). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Conversion Share upon any such conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Conversion Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a Conversion Share up to the nearest whole Conversion Share. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note being converted plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon on the conversion date for the Conversion by (ii) the Conversion Price. The calculation by the Company of the number of Conversion Shares to be received by the Holder upon conversion hereof, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. To convert any portion of the unpaid principal of this Note into Conversion Shares on any date (an “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (i) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 12:00 noon., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (ii) return this Note to the Company via a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (or provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the fifth trading day for the Company’s Common Stock following the date of receipt of an Conversion Notice, the Company shall cause the Company’s transfer agent to issue and deliver to the Holder at the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the outstanding principal amount of this Note is greater than the principal portion being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of this Note, at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the outstanding principal amount not converted. Such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the principal amount remaining outstanding, (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the date of this Note, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note.
| Page 2 of 9 |
Section 1.08. Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and liquidated damages (if any) on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company.
Section 1.09. Reliance on Note Register. Prior to due presentment to the Company for permitted transfer or conversion of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the name in which this Note is duly registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 1.10. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Company will act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change any paying agent, registrar, or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than five (5) business days’ written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name, address, telephone number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar. The Company may act in any such capacity.
Section 1.11. Investment Representations. This Note has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Line of Credit Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Line of Credit Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.
Section 1.12. Security; Other Rights. The obligations of the Company to the Holder under this Note are unsecured. However, in addition to the rights and remedies given to it by this Note and the Line of Credit Agreement, the Holder shall have all those rights and remedies allowed by applicable law.
Section 1.13. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of conversion of this Note, that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares into which the Note is convertible based upon the Conversion Price.
Article II.
Section 2.01. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute a default under this Note (each an “Event of Default”):

(a) General. The conversion price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 6.01.
| (i) | Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide (whether by way of stock dividend, stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined (whether by way of stock combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares shall be proportionately decreased. The conversion price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 6.01(a)(i). |
| (ii) | Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification. If at any time, or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the conversion of this Note) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor: |

| Page 5 of 9 |
(B) additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 6.01(a)(i) above), then and in each such case, the conversion price and the number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon conversion of this Note shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Holder hereof shall, upon the conversion of this Note, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Conversion Shares receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to above) that such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property. The conversion price and the Conversion Shares, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 6.01(a)(ii).
| (iii) | Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other assets or property (an “Organic Change”), then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the Conversion Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the conversion of this Note) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable by reason of the Conversion Shares and receivable assuming the full conversion of this Note. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the conversion price and of the number of Conversion Shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Note) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law. |

2. The Loan.
2.1 Loan Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender agrees to make the Loan available to Borrower. The Loan shall be repaid or converted as set forth below on or before the date that is one year from the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”). From time-to-time until the Maturity Date, Lender shall provide Borrower advances of funds in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof (each, a “Loan Advance” and collectively, the “Loan Advances”). Until the Maturity Date, Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1; provided, that the amount of any Loan Advance to be made at any time shall not exceed the availability under the Loan at such time and no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing at such time. The Borrower agrees that its breach or default under any of such obligations or conditions is not the only basis upon which the Lender may decline to extend loans under this agreement and that the Lender may decline to extend loans for any reason or no reason in its sole and absolute discretion. Each Loan Advance shall be made on written notice by Borrower to Lender by email or facsimile transmission. Any such notice must be given not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Loan Advance. Each such notice must be given in writing by Borrower. The date of disbursement of each Loan Advance shall be referred to herein as an “Advance Date.” On the Effective Date, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an unsecured convertible promissory note to evidence the Loan, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”).
2.2 Interest. Interest on the Loan shall accrue on the Loan Advances outstanding from time to time at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) and is payable on the Maturity Date. Interest will be calculated on the Loan Advances on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. On the Maturity Date, all accrued but unpaid interest and outstanding principal may be converted by Lender in accordance with Section 2.5 below.
2.3 Prepayment. At Borrower’s option, prepayments of outstanding principal may be made without penalty at any time prior to the Maturity Date; provided, that any prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of such principal prepayment.
2.4 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in force and effect until the Maturity Date, or any extension thereof.
2.5 Conversion of the Loan. Subject to Section 1.07 of the Note, on the Maturity Date, the then outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Note may be converted, at the option of Lender, into shares of Borrower’s common stock (“Conversion Shares”) at the conversion rate of the weighted average closing stock price of the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion of this note (the “Conversion Price”), as may be adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, reclassifications and other similar events which have occurred before such conversion (the “Conversion Price”). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Conversion Share upon any such conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Conversion Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a Conversion Share up to the nearest whole Conversion Share. Any remaining amount of the outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Note not so converted, if any, shall be settled in cash pursuant to Section 1.03 of the Note.
2.6 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan for the payment of payroll, unpaid invoices, past or current, and any other operating expenses that the Borrower incurs.
| Page 3 of 15 |
2.7 Payments.
(a) All payments made under the Note shall be without setoff or counterclaim, and in currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debt.
(b) Any payments not made as and when due with respect to the Loan (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise) shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date due until paid, payable on demand.
(c) All sums paid to Lender by Borrower hereunder shall be paid directly to Lender in immediately available funds.
2.9 Limitation on Interest Charges. Lender and Borrower intend to comply strictly with applicable law regulating the maximum allowable rate or amount of interest that Lender may charge and collect on the Loans to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement. Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything in any Note or in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum, aggregate amount of interest and other charges constituting interest under applicable law that are payable, chargeable, or receivable under any Note and this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount of interest now allowed by applicable law or any greater amount of interest allowed because of a future amendment to existing law. Borrower is not liable for any interest in excess of the maximum lawful amount, and any excess interest charged or collected by Lender will constitute an inadvertent mistake and, if charged but not paid, will be cancelled automatically, or, if paid, will be either refunded to Borrower or credited against the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Note, at the election of Lender.
2.10 Registration Rights. Lender understands that neither the Note, nor the Conversion Shares that may be acquired upon conversion of the Note (the Conversion Shares together with the Note, the “Securities”), have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and Borrower has no obligation to register the Securities.
2.11 Security. The obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement and the Note are unsecured.
3. Conditions of Lending. In addition to any other requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall not be obligated to make any Loan Advance unless, at the time thereof, the following conditions shall have been met:

5.7 Liquidity. Lender has adequate means of providing for Lender’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time, and after acquiring the Securities, Lender will be able to provide for any foreseeable current needs and possible personal contingencies.

5.9 Reliance on Exemptions.

Lender has been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials and the information contained therein. Lender has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of Borrower and its management. Lender understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by Borrower, were intended to describe the aspects of Borrower’s business and prospects which Borrower believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Note, Borrower makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than Borrower. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of Borrower, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Borrower’s control. Additionally, Lender understands and represents that it is acquiring the Securities notwithstanding the fact that Borrower may disclose in the future certain material information Lender has not received, including the financial results of Borrower for the current fiscal quarter. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by Lender shall modify, amend or affect Lender’s right to rely on Borrower’s representations and warranties contained herein.
