Explanation of Responses:

1. The original Form 3 filed on April 9, 2005 is being amended to include additional shares which may be deemed to be owned by Verizon Communications Inc. but were inadvertently omitted from the original Form 3. Per the SEC guidelines, this Form 3/A is only adding these additional shares of MCI's common stock and not restating the previously reported Table I items, except that the following language shall be deleted from footnote (2) of the original Form 3: "Verizon Communications Inc. does not have any interest in shares of MCI, Inc.'s common stock independent of its ownership interest in Eli Acquisition LLC."

2. Shares beneficially owned by Verizon Communications Inc. Verizon New York Inc. is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc. and acquired these shares on December 2, 2004. Because of Verizon Communications Inc.'s ownership of Verizon New York Inc., each may be deemed to beneficially own shares of MCI, Inc.'s common stock. The shares were not required to be reported by Verizon Communications Inc. at the time they were acquired.
