The units shall be reduced per each chargeable act taken by the Registrar. The Registrar shall have the right to carry out chargeable acts in the Register while having zero units for a period of five (5) calendar days. These acts shall be calculated as negative units. Upon the expiration of the above period, the Registrar's ability to carry out chargeable acts in the Register shall be discontinued on the next working day at 3:00 pm.
