*        Less than one percent (1%).
(1)      Assumes conversion of all of the notes at a conversion rate of 7.9318
         shares of the common stock of Verizon Communications per $1,000
         principal amount at maturity of the notes. This conversion rate is
         subject to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of
         Notes and Support Obligations - Conversion Rights" in the Prospectus.
         As a result, the number of shares of the common stock of Verizon
         Communications issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or
         decrease in the future.
(2)      Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of
         1934, using 2,751,650,484 shares of common stock of Verizon
         Communications outstanding as of June 30, 2002. In calculating this
         amount for each selling securityholder, we treated as outstanding the
         number of shares of the common stock of Verizon Communications issuable
         upon conversion of all of the selling securityholder's notes, but we
         did not assume conversion of any other selling securityholder's notes.
