I am renewing (first time) my H-1B with the same employer.

Could you tell me whether our company needs to pay the $500 Fraud Prevention and Detection fee?

The following sentences are quoted from "H-1B Data Collection and Filing Fee Exemption Supplement" form, "On or after March 8, 2005, a U.S. employer seeking initial approval of H-1B or L nonimmigrant status for a beneficiary, orseeking approval to employ an H-1B or L nonimmigrant currently working for another U.S. employer, must submit an additional $500fee. This additional $500 Fraud Prevention and Detection fee was mandated by the provisions of the H-1B Visa Reform Act of 2004.There is no exemption from this fee". It seems to me that our company doesn't need to pay it. Am I right?

Thank you!
