enforce several Verizon patents relating to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In March 2007, a jury held that Vonage is infringing three valid
Verizon patents. The jury awarded $58 million in damages. The trial judge subsequently issued an injunction which was stayed pending Vonage&#146;s appeal. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">In September 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld the trial court&#146;s decisions on infringement, validity, and injunction as to two of the Verizon patents (the &#145;574 and &#145;711) and remanded as to the
third patent (the &#145;880). Vonage filed a petition for rehearing which is pending in the Court of Appeals. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Today the parties have agreed to resolve the
patent lawsuit. The terms of the resolution depend on how the Court of Appeals decides Vonage&#146;s pending petition for rehearing regarding two of the Verizon patents (the &#145;574 and &#145;711). If Vonage wins rehearing on either the &#145;574
or &#145;711 patent or if the injunction is vacated as to the &#145;574 or &#145;711 patent, Vonage will pay Verizon $80 million. If Vonage does not win rehearing on either the &#145;574 or &#145;711 patent, or if the stay is lifted reinstating the
injunction, Vonage will pay Verizon $117.5 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The parties are pleased to have resolved this matter. </FONT></P>
