            Revised VeriSign .com Registry Agreement: Appendix G


            Posted: 16 April 2001





--------------------------------------------------------------------------



      Registry Operator Maximum Price Schedule

      This schedule specifies the maximum price Registry Operator may charge
for Registry Services. In a manner consistent with Subsection 22(B) of the
Registry Agreement, Registry Operator may charge a lower-than-specified rate
for services, including not charging for a specified service. Except as set
forth herein or otherwise agreed, Registry Operator shall not be entitled to
charge for any Registry Service not specified in this Appendix G.

      1. Maximum Initial Registration Fee for Registered Names

      Registry Operator may charge a maximum of US $6.00 per year for
registration of each Registered Name (the "Initial Registration Fee") in the
Registry TLD.

      2. Maximum Renewal Registration Fee for Registered Names

      Registry Operator may charge a maximum of US $6.00 per year for
renewal (or extension) of registration of each Registered Name (the "Renewal
Fee") in the Registry TLD.

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

      Registrars may assume sponsorship of a Registered Name holder's
existing domain name registration from another registrar by following the
policy set forth in Exhibit B to Appendix F to the Registry Agreement.

      For each transfer of the sponsorship of a domain-name registration
under Part A of Exhibit B, Registry Operator may charge the gaining
registrar a maximum fee equal to the renewal registration fee associated
with a one-year extension, as set forth in item 2 above. The losing
registrar's registration fees will not be refunded as a result of any such
transfer.

      For a transfer approved by ICANN under Part B of Exhibit B, 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).
