BACKGROUND TO SOLICITATION

·  
We are a long-term stockholder of Shares of iPass, making our first investment in Shares of iPass in June 2006.
 
·  
On March 13, 2008, we sent a letter to Kenneth Denman, who at the time served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, urging the Board to commence a sale process and to set up an independent committee to review the process.
 
·  
On June 2, 2008, Mr. Weiner participated in a teleconference with three members of the Board, Allen R. Spies, iPass’ lead independent director, Peter Clapman and Michael McConnell, who resigned from his position as a member of the Board, effective October 31, 2008.
 
·  
On June 25, 2008, Mr. Weiner sent a letter to Mr. Spies, summarizing the issues that Mr. Weiner raised during the June 2, 2008 teleconference call, including Mr. Weiner’s request that the Company engage an outside consultant to review management’s business plan, the need for enhancing performance accountability for management and reviewing and changing benchmarks for management compensation, and Mr. Weiner’s request that the Board commence a process to initiate the sale of the Company and establish an independent committee to review the process.
 
·  
On July 21, 2008, the Foxhill Parties filed a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), disclosing that the Foxhill Parties had acquired in excess of 5% of the Shares.
 
·  
On September 18, 2008, Mr. Weiner sent a letter to Mr. Spies, describing stockholder displeasure with the Company’s Board, as evidenced by the significant number of stockholders that withheld their vote for two of the Company’s independent directors, John D. Beletic, the current Chairman of the Board, and A. Gary Ames, at the Company’s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. In the letter, Mr. Weiner also reiterated his request that the Company commence a sale process immediately.
 
·  
On November 3, 2008, the Company announced, for the first time, that it had engaged an investment-banking firm to explore strategic alternatives in June 2008.  Without disclosing the name of the firm or the details of the alternatives considered, the Board unanimously determined to continue to focus on a stand-alone strategy.
 
·  
On December 9, 2008, Mr. Weiner met with Evan Kaplan, the Company’s recently appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, Frank E. Verdecanna, the Company’s Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Beletic.  During the meeting, Mr. Weiner reiterated his concerns about the Company’s operating performance, lack of profitability and the Board’s lack of transparency during its consideration of strategic alternatives.
 
·  
On December 30, 2008, we delivered a letter to the Company, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), submitting a proposal and supporting statement for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement to declassify the Board.
 
·  
We received a reply letter, dated January 12, 2009, from iPass requesting that we make certain corrections to our proposal and supporting statement, including to make our proposal non-binding.
 
 
4

 
·  
On January 23, 2009, we submitted a revised non-binding proposal and supporting statement to iPass, for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement, recommending that the Board take those steps necessary, in accordance with applicable law, to remove the classification of the Board.
 
·  
On February 27, 2009, we delivered a letter to the Company providing notice to iPass, in accordance with its Bylaws, as to our nomination of the Nominees for election to the Board, and our submission of a non-binding proposal to declassify the Board, for consideration at the Annual Meeting.
 
·  
On March 3, 2009, we issued a press release in which we announced our nomination of the Nominees and submission of the non-binding proposal to recommend the declassification of the Board, and in which we reiterated our concerns with the Board’s business strategies, including its poor capital allocation decisions, consistent failure to deliver on Company forecasts and its lack of transparency in exploring strategic alternatives.
 
·  
On March 4, 2009, Mr. Weiner met with Messrs. Kaplan and Verdecanna.  During this meeting, Messrs. Weiner, Kaplan and Verdecanna discussed, among other things, the Company’s inability to achieve profitability.  Mr. Weiner requested quantitative data with respect to return on investment, but was not provided with any such information.   Messrs. Kaplan and Verdecanna also raised the possibility of Mr. Weiner serving as a director on the Board in lieu of our slate of Nominees.  We did not believe the appointment of one new director would ensure that the interests of all stockholders would be vigorously represented in the Board room.  The Board refused to consider the appointment of any of our Nominees and as a result, we decided to proceed with this solicitation.
 
·  
On April 7, 2009, we delivered a letter to the Board expressing our view that recent actions taken by the Board including with respect to executive incentive compensation fail to align management incentives with the objective of achieving profitability and enhancing stockholder value and demonstrate poor corporate governance practices.  We also reiterated our belief that our three independent director Nominees would provide meaningful change to the Board and suggested that the Board avoid the expense of a proxy contest by immediately appointing our three Nominees to the Board.
 
·  
On April 9, 2009, we filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC, including a non-binding proposal to declassify the Board, in order to permit us to solicit votes for such proposal.
 
·  
On April 14, 2009, legal counsel to iPass contacted our legal counsel stating that the Company intended to include a binding proposal to declassify the Board in its proxy statement and requested the withdrawal of our non-binding proposal.
 
·  
On April 16, 2009, we delivered a letter to the Company formally withdrawing our non-binding proposal to declassify the Board, provided, that the Company include, solicit and recommend for approval by the Company’s stockholders in its definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, a binding proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board.
 
·  
On April 17, 2009, the Company filed its preliminary proxy statement, which included a binding proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board.

REASONS FOR OUR SOLICITATION

We have been long-term stockholders of iPass, beneficially owning, together with the other participants in this solicitation, 4,355,162, or approximately 7.1% of the issued and outstanding voting securities.  As long-term stockholders, we are deeply concerned with the Company’s poor operating performance and the adverse impact it has had on stockholder value.
 
Specifically, our concerns include the following:
 
Ø  
iPass’ stock performance lags behind indices and its peers;
 
Ø  
iPass’ stock trades with a negative enterprise value;
 
Ø  
iPass’ poor track record of overseeing acquisitions has eroded stockholder value;
 
Ø  
iPass’ operating performance has significantly deteriorated under senior management and the Board;
 
Ø  
The Board has lacked transparency and failed to announce any viable strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value; and
 
Ø  
iPass has maintained poor corporate governance practices.
 
We are therefore seeking your support for the election of the Nominees.  We believe the election of the Nominees represents the best means for maximizing stockholder value.  If elected to the Board, the Nominees will endeavor to use their experience to oversee the Company with a goal of implementing strategic and operational changes, as well as exploring all viable alternatives to maximize stockholder value.
 
We are concerned with the Company’s poor stock performance, which lags behind indices and peers.
 
Under the current Board, iPass’ stock price has declined by approximately 74% since January 1, 2008 and approximately 87% over the last three years.  In our opinion, this decline cannot be excused by the recent turmoil in global financial markets because the Company has underperformed both the broad stock market as well as other industrial peers.
 
The following table, which appears in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2009, highlights iPass’ poor stock performance relative to the cumulative total returns of the Russell 2000 Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index.  All values assume reinvestment of the full amount of all dividends and are calculated as of December 31, 2008.

iPass’ stock trades with a negative enterprise value.
 
As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of short-term investments, equal to approximately $68.38 million as of December 31, 2008 and 61,281,344 Shares outstanding as of February 27, 2009.  The Company had a closing stock price of $0.92 per share on February 27, 2009, which resulted in a market capitalization of $56.38 million, and an enterprise value (net of cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of short-term investments) of negative $12.0 million.
 
Despite undertaking a share buy back program in 2008, a process that can often yield higher stock prices and improve stockholder value, the Company’s market value is unfortunately worth less than the Company’s remaining cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of short-term investments, resulting in a negative enterprise value.
 
The majority of the members of the current Board has a disappointing track record of overseeing acquisitions that, we believe, has resulted in significant erosion in stockholder value.
 
Five of the current Board members (excluding Messrs. Pripp, Clapman, Gold and Kaplan) have authorized the spending of approximately $106.5 million on three separate acquisitions, including the acquisition of Safe3W in September 2004 for $8.5 million, Mobile Automation in October 2004 for $20.0 million and GoRemote in February 2006 for $78 million.  The Company has had to write down the value of the goodwill associated with each of these acquisitions to zero.  In our opinion, these acquisitions have been failures and the current Board should be held accountable for failing to effectively oversee management’s acquisition strategy, which we believe is responsible for significant erosion in stockholder value.
 
7

 
We believe the Company’s poor operating performance indicates that management’s business strategy has been flawed.
 
We have concerns with the Company’s operating performance, particularly over the past three fiscal years.  The Company’s net income has declined from approximately $12.9 million in 2005 to a loss of approximately $91.7 million in 2008, gross margin has declined from 62% in 2005 to 39.5% in 2008 and total stockholder equity has declined from approximately $226.3 million in 2005 to approximately $90.1 million in 2008.
 
In our opinion, iPass’ poor operating results are a direct result of the Company’s misguided corporate strategy.  We believe the existing Board has failed to hold senior management accountable and to adequately address the Company’s severe operating performance issues.  We further believe the Company’s recently announced restructuring plan does not set forth a clear path to profitability in the foreseeable future.
 
The current Board lacks transparency and has failed to announce any viable strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value.
 
Stockholders of iPass, including Foxhill, have repeatedly expressed concerns to the Board and management, both publicly and privately, regarding the strategic direction of the Company.  In November 2008, the Company announced for the first time the retention of an investment-banking firm in June 2008 to explore strategic alternatives.  However, the Board asserted that, “…after consideration of alternatives, the board unanimously determined to continue to focus on a stand-alone strategy as it strives to maximize stockholder value.”  In addition, in its most recent letter to stockholders dated March 3, 2009, Mr. Kaplan disclosed that the Board had conducted discussions with a number of potential strategic partners but determined “…there were no partners who could provide sufficient value [to the Company].”  Instead, Mr. Kaplan noted that the Company would pursue a strategy focusing on future growth and would “… de-prioritize all else.”
 
Foxhill questions whether the Board has fully vetted all strategic alternatives, given the fact that the Board has failed to disclose what alternatives were considered by the investment banking firm or to describe the discussions it had with potential strategic partners.  Foxhill believes it should be a top priority to explore all viable strategic alternatives while at the same time working to improve operating performance and achieve profitability.
 
We believe iPass has maintained poor corporate governance practices and there is an urgent need to improve Board accountability.
 
Foxhill believes that iPass has maintained poor corporate governance practices that inhibit the accountability of management and directors to stockholders.  The following are examples of what we believe to be the sub-standard corporate governance practices of iPass:
 
Ø  
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all vacancies on the Board, including those resulting from removal or an enlargement of the Board, are to be filled by directors.  Stockholders may fill vacancies or newly created directorships only if the Board adopts a resolution granting such authority.
 
 
8

 
Ø  
Stockholders do not have an express right to call a special meeting under the Company’s Bylaws.
 
Ø  
Stockholders may not act by written consent.
 
Ø  
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of at least 66⅔% of stockholders entitled to vote is required in order to amend the Company’s Bylaws.  However, the Board is authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Company’s Bylaws without stockholder vote.
 
We believe governance provisions such as these serve to entrench the Board and are contrary to our views on corporate governance best practices.
 
If elected, the Nominees will, subject to their fiduciary duties, lobby the Board to eliminate the Company’s anti-takeover provisions and use their best efforts to cause the Board to allow stockholders to call a special meeting, to act by written consent in lieu of a stockholder meeting and thereafter, to seek stockholder approval of appropriate charter amendments, in order to ensure the maximization of stockholder value.
 
Without change to the existing Board, we fear that the Company’s intrinsic value will continue to erode.  The Nominees, if elected, will comprise a minority of the Board and will work constructively with other elected members of the Board to pursue the options that they believe are in the best interests of the stockholders in order to maximize stockholder value.  Although the Nominees will not be able to adopt any measures without the support of at least some members of the current Board, we believe that the election of the Nominees will send a strong message to the Board regarding the meaningful change desired by iPass stockholders.  We are committed to safeguarding stockholder interests and ensuring that all efforts are undertaken to maximize the value of the Shares for all stockholders.  There can be no assurance that these goals will be achieved if the Nominees are elected.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
 
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
Foxhill is seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to elect the Nominees in opposition to the Company’s director nominees.  The Board is currently composed of nine directors divided into three classes.  Foxhill believes that three directors’ terms expire at the Annual Meeting.  We are seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to elect the Nominees in opposition to the three iPass director nominees.  Each of the three nominees elected at the Annual Meeting will be elected to serve until the 2012 annual meeting and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until the director’s death, resignation or removal.  We are not seeking control of the Board.  Your vote to elect the Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing three incumbent directors of iPass with the Nominees.  If elected, the Nominees will represent a minority of the members of the Board.
 
Under applicable law, the terms of the directors who have been elected to terms greater than one year prior to any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that results from the approval of the Declassification Proposal will not be reduced as a result of such amendment.  Even if the Declassification Proposal is approved, therefore, each of the three nominees elected at the Annual Meeting will serve until the 2012 annual meeting, and directors whose terms expire at the 2010 and 2011 annual meetings of stockholders will complete their terms, at which time directors will be elected for one-year terms.  If the Declassification Proposal is approved and our Nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, we will strongly encourage the other directors on the Board whose terms do not expire at the 2010 annual meeting, to voluntarily place themselves up for election at the 2010 annual meeting.  If they agree, our Nominees will voluntarily place themselves up for election at the 2010 annual meeting, such that all directors will be elected for one-year terms beginning at the 2010 annual meeting.
 
THE NOMINEES
 
We have nominated a slate of highly qualified nominees who we believe possess the expertise necessary to work with the other members of the Board to restore and enhance stockholder value.  The following information sets forth the name, age, business address, present principal occupation, and employment and material occupations, positions, offices, or employments for the past five years of each of the Nominees.  This information has been furnished to Foxhill by the Nominees.  Each of the Nominees is a citizen of the United States of America.
 
Randall C. Bassett (Age 64) currently serves as Managing Member of Value Investments, LLC, a merchant bank (“Value Investments”).  Prior to becoming Managing Member of Value Investments in 2003, Mr. Bassett was a partner at Latham & Watkins LLP, an international law firm, from 1977 to 2003.  During this period, Mr. Bassett served two terms as an elected member of the firm’s five person Executive Committee, following which he served as Chairman of the firm’s Finance Department.  Mr. Bassett also served as the acting Chief Financial Officer of the firm for more than five years.  Mr. Bassett served on the board of directors and as Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Committee of American Bank Note Holographics, Inc., a producer and marketer of optical security devices (“ABNH”), from May 2007 until February 2008, at which time ABNH was acquired by JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”).  The principal business address of Mr. Bassett is c/o Value Investments, LLC, 2601 Ocean Park Boulevard, Suite 320, Santa Monica, California 90405.
 
Kenneth H. Traub (Age 47) is currently a private investor and strategic management consultant.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
 
iPASS PROPOSAL TO RATIFY APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
As discussed in further detail in iPass’ proxy statement, the Company’s Audit Committee has selected KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.  The Audit Committee and the Board each recommends that stockholders ratify such selection.
 
WE DO NOT OBJECT TO THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP AS iPASS’ INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2009.
 
12

 
PROPOSAL NO. 3
 
iPASS’ DECLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL
 
As discussed in further detail in iPass’ proxy statement, the Board is requesting stockholder approval of an amendment to the iPass Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board, so that members of the Board, following the Annual Meeting, will be elected for one year terms.
 
In December 2008, we submitted a proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement at the Annual Meeting, to declassify the Board.  We believe after consideration of our proposal, the Company was encouraged to include a binding proposal to declassify the Board.  In April 2009, we withdrew our non-binding proposal in favor of the Company’s binding proposal to amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board.
 
If the Declassification Proposal is approved and our Nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, we will strongly encourage the other directors on the Board whose terms do not expire at the 2010 annual meeting, to voluntarily place themselves up for election at the 2010 annual meeting.  If they agree, our Nominees will voluntarily place themselves up for election at the 2010 annual meeting, such that all directors will be elected for one-year terms beginning at the 2010 annual meeting.
 
WE FULLY SUPPORT THE DECLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL AND URGE STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL ON THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD.
 
13

 
VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES
 
Only stockholders of record on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.  Each Share is entitled to one vote.  Stockholders who sell Shares before the Record Date (or acquire them without voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote such Shares.  Stockholders of record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if they sell such Shares after the Record Date.  Based on publicly available information, we believe that the only outstanding classes of securities of iPass entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are the Shares.
 
Shares represented by properly executed GOLD proxy cards will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted FOR the election of the Nominees, FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, FOR the approval of the Declassification Proposal, and in the discretion of the persons named as proxies on all other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
 
QUORUM
 
The presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares of stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.  In accordance with Delaware law, abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business.
 
VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
 
Election of Directors.  Since this is a contested election of directors (i.e. an election in which there are more nominees for director than there are open positions for directors), directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the Shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors.  Broker non-votes and proxies marked “withhold authority” will not be counted toward the election of directors or toward the election of individual Nominees specified in the form of proxy and, thus, will have no effect in the election of directors.
 
Ratification of Appointment of KPMG LLP.  The affirmative vote of the majority of Shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter is required to approve the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.  Votes on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP marked “abstain” will have the same effect as votes cast against the proposal.  Broker non-votes will have no effect.
 
Approval of the Declassification Proposal.  The affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the outstanding Shares of the capital stock of iPass entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is required to approve the Declassification Proposal.  Votes on the approval of the Declassification Proposal marked “abstain” will have the same effect as votes cast against the Declassification Proposal.  Broker non-votes will have no effect.
 
14

 
DISCRETIONARY VOTING
 
Shares held in “street name” and held of record by banks, brokers or nominees may not be voted by such banks, brokers or nominees unless the beneficial owners of such Shares provide them with instructions on how to vote.
 
REVOCATION OF PROXIES
 
Stockholders of iPass may revoke their proxies at any time prior to exercise by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy) or by delivering a written notice of revocation.  The delivery of a subsequently dated proxy which is properly completed will constitute a revocation of any earlier proxy. The revocation may be delivered either to Foxhill in care of Innisfree M&A Incorporated at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement or to the Corporate Secretary of iPass at iPass Inc., 3800 Bridge Parkway, Redwood Shores, California 94065, or any other address provided by iPass.  Although a revocation is effective if delivered to iPass, Foxhill requests that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to Foxhill in care of Innisfree M&A Incorporated at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement so that Foxhill will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when proxies have been received from the holders of record on the Record Date of a majority of the outstanding Shares.  Additionally, Innisfree M&A Incorporated may use this information to contact stockholders who have revoked their proxies in order to solicit later dated proxies for the election of the Nominees.
 
IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD, FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP, OR FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE DECLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN PROMPTLY THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

Innisfree M&A Incorporated will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders.  Foxhill has requested banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Shares they hold of record.  Foxhill will reimburse these record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing.  It is anticipated that Innisfree M&A Incorporated will employ approximately __ persons to solicit iPass’ stockholders for the Annual Meeting.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement (as defined below), Foxhill, Mr. Bassett and Mr. Traub have each agreed to be responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with the Foxhill Parties’ and the Nominees’ activities on a pro rata basis among them, based on the number of Shares in the aggregate beneficially owned by each of them.  Costs of this solicitation of proxies are currently estimated to be approximately $___.  Foxhill, Mr. Bassett and Mr. Traub estimate that through the date hereof, their expenses in connection with this solicitation are approximately $___.  Foxhill, Mr. Bassett and Mr. Traub intend to seek reimbursement from iPass of all expenses that they incur in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the election of the Nominees to the Board and the approval of the Declassification Proposal at the Annual Meeting.  Foxhill, Mr. Bassett and Mr. Traub do not intend to submit the question of such reimbursement to a vote of security holders of the Company.
