Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On March 23, 2005, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of iPass Inc. approved a revised cash compensation arrangement for each of iPass’ non-employee directors, which arrangement replaced the previous cash compensation arrangement. Under this revised arrangement, each non-employee director receives: (a) $1,000 for each Board meeting attended; and (b) $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended (provided such non-employee director serves on that Committee). In addition, each non-employee director is reimbursed for travel, lodging and other reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board or Committee meetings.

     In addition to the cash compensation set forth above, under iPass’ currently existing 2003 Non-Employee Directors Plan (referred to as the “Director’s Plan”): (a) any new non-employee director, upon joining the Board receives an option to purchase 120,000 shares of iPass common stock; and (b) each non-employee director receives on the day after each annual meeting of stockholders an option grant to purchase 30,000 shares of iPass common stock. Annual option grants to non-employee directors who have not served on the Board for the entire period preceding the annual meeting shall be reduced, pro rata, for each month that the person did not serve on the Board. The exercise price of options granted under the Directors’ Plan is 100% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date of the option grant. Options granted under the Directors’ Plan may not be exercised until vested. The initial option of 120,000 shares vests monthly over four years and the annual option grant of 30,000 shares vests monthly over one year beginning with the third anniversary of the date of grant. In the event of a merger of iPass with or into another corporation or a consolidation, acquisition of assets or other change-in-control transaction involving iPass, the vesting of each option will accelerate and the option will be fully vested and immediately exercisable.
