Registry Operator Maximum Price Schedule

This schedule specifies the maximum price NeuLevel may charge for Registry Services under the Registry-Registrar Agreement. In a manner consistent with Section 3.4.3 of the Registry Agreement, NeuLevel may charge a lower-than-specified rate for services, including not charging for a specified service. NeuLevel shall not be entitled to charge for any Registry Service not specified in this Appendix G.

1. Maximum Domain-Name Initial Registration Fee

NeuLevel may charge the maximum fee per year at the time of registration for each domain name registered (the "Initial Registration Fee") in the Registry TLD or for each deferred domain name registration, during the Term of the Registry Agreement as provided in the table below:

The Initial Registration Fee shall be paid in full by the ICANN-Accredited Registrar sponsoring the domain name at the time of registration.

2. Maximum Domain-Name Renewal Fee

NeuLevel may charge the maximum fee per year at the time of registration for each domain name registration renewal (the "Renewal Fee") in the Registry TLD during the Term of the Registry Agreement as provided below:

The Renewal Fee shall be paid in full by the ICANN-Accredited Registrar sponsoring the domain name at the time of renewal.

3. Fees for Transfers of Sponsorship of Domain-Name Registrations

During the Term of the Registry Agreement, where the sponsorship of a domain name is transferred from one ICANN-Accredited Registrar to another ICANN-Accredited Registrar, NeuLevel may require the registrar receiving the sponsorship to request a renewal of one year for the name. In connection with that extension, NeuLevel may charge a Renewal Fee for the requested extension as provided in item 2 above. The transfer shall result in an extension according to the renewal request, subject to a ten-year maximum on the future term of any domain-name registration. The Renewal Fee shall be paid in full at the time of the transfer by the ICANN-Accredited Registrar receiving sponsorship of the domain name.

For a bulk transfer approved by ICANN under Part B of Exhibit D to the Registry-Registrar Agreement, Registry Operator may charge the gaining registrar US $0 (for transfers of 50,000 names or fewer) or US $50,000 (for transfers of more than 50,000 names).

6. Maximum Fee for Secure Domain Name Registration Service

During the Term of the Registry Agreement, NeuLevel contemplates the introduction of an enhanced registration service, offered through ICANN-Accredited Registrars, utilizing secure processing mechanisms for mission critical registrations to provide additional security measures with respect to modifications to domain name information and/or transfers of a domain name.

This service will be offered as early as during the Start-Up phase of the Registry TLD with initial payments billed and due after the Commencement-of-Service Date.

This service will be introduced consistent with ICANN's plan on internationalized domains. The maximum fee charged will be as follows:

The Initial Registration Fee shall be paid in full by the ICANN-Accredited Registrar sponsoring the multi-lingual domain name at the time of registration.

NeuLevel may charge the maximum fee per year at the time of registration for each multi-lingual domain name registration renewal (the "Renewal Fee") in the Registry TLD during the Term of the Registry Agreement as provided below:

The Renewal Fee shall be paid in full by the ICANN-Accredited Registrar sponsoring the multi-lingual domain name at the time of renewal.

8. Fee for Restoring Deleted Domain Name Registrations

NeuLevel may charge registrars the following maximum prices for each Registered Name that is restored pursuant to the Redemption Grace Period Policy set forth in Appendix C to the Registry Agreement:

• The cost of restoring an unintentionally deleted domain name in the Redemption Grace Period must not exceed US $40.00.

NeuLevel will waive the fee for restoring any Registered Name that was deleted, contrary to the wishes of the Registered Name Holder, as the result of a mistake of the Registry Operator.
