`PAR Technology Corporation for its Patented 21st
`Century CommunicationsTM Web/Wireless

`
`"New patent license with one of the largest POS/PMS companies

`Vern Yates, Chairman and CEO, Ameranth, Inc.
`
`January 28, 2013, San Diego, CA — Ameranth, Inc. announced today that it has entered into a
`strategic patent license agreement with PAR Technology Corporation (PAR) of New Hartford,
`New York, one of the largest Point of Sale (POS) and Property Management Systems (PMS)
`companies in the world. This is Ameranth's 15th patent license to date.
`
`Ameranth's pioneering web/wireless data synchronization inventions have been patented, (U.S.
`Patent Nos. 6,384,850; 6,871,325; 6,982,733; 8,146,077 - with an additional patent pending), have
`been widely adopted and deployed, and are now essential to the modem wireless/web hospitality
`enterprise. The explosive growth of the use of smart phones, social/affinity group networking,
`wireless networks and related technologies now make the use and licensing of Ameranth's patents
`essential to achieve a totally synchronized system, i.e., the 21st Century CommunicationsTM system
`invented in 1998 by Ameranth's visionary inventors. Modem hospitality information technology
`systems performing functions such as online/mobile ordering, reservations, ticketing and related
`functionality require the use of Ameranth's patented inventions for synchronized operation.

`envision that PAR will maintain its market leading position well into the future, now with the benefit
`of its very favorable Ameranth patent license," added Yates.
`
`"Reaching an agreement with Ameranth for the use of its novel patents was important to PAR, since
`we provide many of the restaurant and hotel industry's top brands and renowned properties with our
`industry leading hospitality products, solutions and services," stated Paul Domorski, Chairman &
`CEO of PAR Technology Corporation. "Now PAR can focus all of its resources on business
`growth," added Domorski.
`
`
`
`The adoption of Ameranth's technology by industry leaders and the wide acclaim received by
