Pursuant to the IDN Agreement, Dot VN will work with VNNIC to manage the Vietnamese IDNs in accordance with the relevant laws and policies governing its use.  Dot VN will also act to market and promote registration of the Vietnamese IDNs and their lawful use pursuant to applicable Vietnamese Law and Regulation.  The Company will be responsible for the investment required to develop the technical systems and software to register, manage and maintain the Vietnamese IDNs including managing the Whois database and dispute resolution.  Dot VN is required to charge the same rate as the fee set by the Ministry of Finance of Vietnam (available at: http://www.vnnic.vn/3-6-222-5-7-04-20041115.htm) and provide certain related services such as DNS hosting and web hosting.  Dot VN may charge reasonable service fees associated with premium features related to the Vietnamese IDN network.  Further, Dot VN will also oversee the development of monetization and value added services for the Vietnamese IDNs.

The foregoing description of the IDN Agreement is a summary of this agreement's material terms, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the IDN Agreement, which, subject to any confidential treatment granted, may be filed as an exhibit to a periodic report or current report as required.
