1. Received in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock and 1,600,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting Stock of UCC Capital Corp. ("Capital") and 1 share of common stock of UCC Consulting Corp. ("Consulting," and with Capital, "UCC") in connection with the closing of the merger of Capital and Consulting into a wholly owned subsidiary of Aether Holdings, Inc.

The Merger Agreement provides that the former securityholders of UCC will receive up to an additional 1,600,000 shares of Aether Holdings, Inc. common stock in two tranches based upon certain performance targets set forth in the Merger Agreement. The reporting person?s right to receive his pro rata shares of the additional shares pursuant to the earn-out right became fixed and irrevocable on June 6, 2006, the effective date of the Merger.
3. These shares were issued on June 6, 2006 at the closing of the Merger. Until and unless earned, the shares are being held in escrow and are subject to forfeiture if the performance targets are not met within the earn-out period.

5. Received in exchange for 16.65 shares of common stock of Consulting in the Merger.
6. These shares are held in a trust for the benefit of reporting person's minor children. The trust is irrevocable, the trustee is not a member of reporting person's immediate family, and the trustee has independent authority to vote and dispose of the shares held by the trust. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and the filing of this report is not an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of these securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
7. The warrants vest in three equal installments on each of June 6, 2007, June 6, 2008 and June 6, 2009, provided that reporting person is then employed by Aether Holdings, Inc. and the warrants are not terminated earlier or the vesting is not accelerated pursuant to the terms thereof.
