On April 22, 2015, Gary Griffiths, the Chief Executive Officer of iPass Inc., sent the following two emails to Marc Silk of Silk Investments, an iPass investor, which are set forth below.

Email #1:

Hi Marc. I'd love the opportunity to give you an update on our recent announcements and my plans for the company in the short and longer term. I believe the actions this week are consistent with the direction we discussed in February.

Let me know if you have some time this week.

Thanks
Gary

Email #2:

Thanks Marc. We will get that scheduled for tomorrow. I would ask that you take a very careful look at the four board members we've added since October: Michael Tedesco, Michael Chang, David Panos, and Laurence Toney. They are all very experience "company builders" you will make a very big difference in realizing the potential of iPass.
 
Thanks again - I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow.
 
Gary
