Ownership (a) Amount Beneficially Owned Subject to the Ownership Limitation (defined below), as of the date of this filing, each Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner of: (i) 682,144 shares of Class A Common Stock owned outright by The Riverview Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Riverview"), (ii) 170,536 shares of Class A Common Stock currently issuable to Riverview upon the exercise of a certain warrant (the "Warrant") and (iii) 2,790,542 shares of Class A Common Stock currently issuable to Riverview upon the conversion of a certain 3% convertible debenture with an aggregate principal face amount of $15,000,000 (the "Convertible Debenture"). The number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Warrant and Convertible Debenture are exercisable or convertible, as applicable, are limited pursuant to the terms of the Warrant and the Convertible Debenture to that number of shares of Class A Common Stock which would result in Riverview having aggregate beneficial ownership of not more than 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Ownership Limitation"). Therefore, the percent of class beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is limited to 9.99%. In accordance with the Ownership Limitation, as of the date of this filing, each Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner of 2,458,675 shares of Class A Common Stock. (Based on the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003, there were 21,470,549 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 15, 2003.

As of the date hereof, the Aether Acquisition has not been consummated. However, the Reporting Persons have determined voluntarily to file this statement. Note: The sole member of Riverview is Millennium Holding Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Holding"). Millennium Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Millennium Management"), is the general partner of Holding and consequently has voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Holding and by Riverview. Israel A. Englander ("Mr. Englander") is the sole managing member of Millennium Management. As a result, Mr. Englander may be considered the beneficial owner of any shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Millennium Management. Each of Holding, Millennium Management and Mr. Englander disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Riverview. Note: Millennium Partners, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership ("Partners"), is a limited partner of Holding. As a limited partner, Partners has no ability to control Holding. Therefore, as of the date of this filing, Partners may not be deemed a beneficial owner of the shares of the Company or a member of the above-listed group.
