5) If org A's IPv4 number resource is returned to ARIN's free pool, and
it is of size /NN or greater (whether org B complies with "their part"
or not), then org A receives a fee waiver for either: their next year
renewal of their IPv6 allocation (no matter the size), or if they don't
have one, their first year allocation fee.

For each /NN or greater, one year of IPv6 allocation fee be waived.

If anyone is going to profit from the IPv4 exhaustion, perhaps those who
have the 'community' at heart by returning those resources and are
working toward IPv6 adoption receive such a kickback.
