1.	Background and Settlement Purpose

(1)

The Noteholder entered into the Note with the Company for an original principal amount of [__________] dollars ($_____), including agreed interest and bonus components, as amended, by the group, on [__________] and letter to auditor on March 22, 2025.

	-	Full allocation of [__________]ION.au tokens previously pledged as collateral has been delivered to the Noteholder.

Confirmation of Share Issuance and Delivery

Confirmation that [__________] duly authorized and validly issued common shares of I-ON Digital Corp (OTCQB: IONI) have been fully issued, distributed, and electronically transferred into the Noteholder’s account at the Company’s transfer agent of record, Transfer Online, Inc. Such shares are reflected as held of record in the Noteholder’s Transfer Online account as of [__________], as evidenced by the attached holdings statement from Transfer Online confirming the Noteholder’s holdings on that date.

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Settlement Consideration shall constitute complete and sufficient consideration, and all obligations of the Company under the Note shall be deemed fully satisfied, discharged, and extinguished, without condition or further performance.

3.	Post-Execution Activities Are Discretionary and Additive Only

(1)

Any actions taken by the Company after the Effective Date, including but not limited to facilitating conversions, coordinating with third-party platforms, or providing administrative or technical assistance, are:

	●	Voluntary, discretionary, and non-obligatory;

	●	Provided solely as additional accommodation or value-add to the Noteholder; and

4.	Conversion Mechanics and Liquidity (Acknowledged as Market-Dependent)

(1)

The Noteholder has elected to convert the allocated IONau into pmUSD. The conversion value shall be calculated by multiplying the total number of IONau being converted by the published LBMA spot price of gold in U.S. Dollars as quoted on the date and at the time of execution of this Agreement. The resulting pmUSD amount shall reflect the full product of such calculation and shall be processed in accordance with applicable platform rules, smart contract protocols, and third-party operational procedures.

(2)

The Noteholder assumes all market, pricing, and liquidity risk associated with the Settlement Consideration received and waives any claim against the Company arising from market performance or lack thereof.

6.	Rule 144 Cooperation (Administrative Only)

	(1)	The Company agrees to reasonably cooperate with Noteholder’s counsel and its transfer agent to provide customary documentation required for Rule 144 processing.

Releases and forever discharges the Company and its affiliates from all claims, demands, causes of action, or liabilities, known or unknown, arising from or related to the Note, the Settlement Consideration, or any related instruments.
