`
`WHEREAS, the parties are interested in substituting Terremark North America LLC in
`
`place of Defendant Verizon Communications Inc.; and
`
`WHEREAS, Verizon Communications Inc. represents and warrants that:
`
`1. Verizon Communications Inc. is a holding company that does not make, market,
`
`advertise, sell, offer for sale, or otherwise provide any goods or services of any
`
`kind to the public, anywhere, including any of the products and services accused
`
`of infringement in the Complaint (see 0.1. 1).

`Case 1:14-cv-00525-GMS Document 8 Filed 08/28/14 Page 2 of 4 PageiD #: 572
`
`2. Verizon Communications Inc. is separate and distinct from other Verizon entities,
`
`including Verizon's operating subsidiaries. Verizon Communications Inc.
`
`observes all corporate formalities, including having its own board of directors and
`
`its own officers.
`
`3. Verizon Communications Inc. agrees that for purposes of discovery in this case,
`
`any relevant, responsive, non-privileged documents and information in the
`
`possession, custody or control of Verizon Communications Inc., if any, are
`
`deemed also to be in the possession, custody and control ofTerremark North
`
`America LLC. Terremark North America LLC will not object to a request for a
`
`deposition on the grounds that the prospective deponent is an employee of
`
`Verizon Communications Inc. (though nothing in this stipulation prevents
`
`Terremark North America LLC from objecting to a deposition on other grounds).
`
`4. To the extent that any judgment is awarded against Terremark North America
`
`LLC in this case, Terremark North America LLC will be able to satisfy any such
`
`judgment, if any. Verizon Communications Inc. and Terremark North America
`
`LLC each warrants and represents that it will not take any action that will cause
`
`Terremark North America LLC to be unable to fully satisfy any judgment entered
`
`in this case.
`
`NOW THEREFORE, in reliance upon the representations and warranties made above, it
`
`is hereby stipulated by the parties, subject to the approval of the Court, that:
`
`I. JCMS agrees to dismiss Verizon Communications Inc. without prejudice, as
`
`allowed under Rule 4l(a)(2) ofthe Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;

`
`substitute Terremark North America LLC as the defendant in place ofVerizon
`
`Communications Inc.;

`limited liability company with a principal place of business at: 50 NE 9th
`Street, Miami, Florida 33132.
`
`4. JCMS has not released, and nothing in this Stipulation should be construed as a
`
`release or discharge of, any claim JCMS has or may have in the future against any
`
`defendant named in this action or any other asserted infringer ofthe patents-in-
`
`suit. All other rights have been expressly reserved;
`
`5. The substitution ofTerremark North America LLC as defendant in this litigation
`
`does not constitute an admission that any of these entities perform any of the acts
`
`of infringement alleged in the Complaint (See D.I. 1). All other rights, defenses,
`
`and counterclaims, are expressly reserved; and
`
`6. Terremark North America LLC shall respond to the Complaint in this action on
