order to maintain Aether&rsquo;s qualification for the publisher&rsquo;s exclusion, its product offerings must be: (1) of a general and
impersonal nature, in that the research provided is not adapted to any specific portfolio or any client&rsquo;s particular needs; (2)
&ldquo;bona fide&rdquo; or genuine, in that it contains disinterested commentary and analysis as opposed to promotional material; and

United States Supreme Court in&#8239;<I>Lowe v. Securities and Exchange Commission</I>, 472 U.S. 181 (1985), held that a publisher of
advice concerning securities, even where that advice consisted of specific recommendations to buy, sell, or hold particular securities,
is entitled to rely on the publisher&rsquo;s exclusion where the publisher does not offer individualized advice tailored to any specific
portfolio or to any client&rsquo;s particular needs. As long as communications between the publisher and its subscribers remain entirely
impersonal and do not develop into the kind of fiduciary relationships that are characteristic of investment adviser-client relationships,
the&#8239;<I>Lowe</I>&#8239;court held that such products and publications presumptively fall within the exclusion and thus the publisher
is not subject to registration under the Advisers Act.</FONT></P>

Company&rsquo;s &ldquo;Data Technology services&rdquo; financial research products do not fit the definition of an investment adviser
as described above. The Data and Technology services Aether offers to its subscribers are of a general and impersonal nature and are
not individualized or tailored to any subscriber&rsquo;s particular needs. Aether does not collect any information from its Users regarding
their portfolio or investment needs. Aether only collects the information typically required to facilitate a subscription, such as the
User&rsquo;s email address and billing information. Users are provided with prepackaged, user-agnostic chart indicators, models, and
strategies which Users can customize and amend for use in developing their own self-directed trading ideas. For example, Aether&rsquo;s
Data and Technology services product, DataEdge API, provides institutional Users access to raw data sets which include sentiment, seasonality,
and quantitative trading research and analytics databases which are not adapted to any individual client&rsquo;s needs. Rather, the purpose
of the solution is to provide data that clients can selectively integrate into their chosen software platform and programming language.
The Indicators and Charts offering allows users to select from over 3,000 sentiment, breadth, and seasonality indicators and charts and
does not filter or curate indicators or charts based on a User&rsquo;s portfolio or specific needs. Lastly, the purpose of the Backtest
Engine is to provide Users with a tool to test their trading ideas without the need to code their own program. The Backtest Engine is
not tailored to any particular user on a bespoke basis. Rather, the Backtest Engine makes available self-directed customization options
which the User can manipulate to test their trading ideas in a historical context. Aether&rsquo;s Data and Technology services are a
genuine publication, providing disinterested and impersonal commentary and analysis to its subscribers. Aether does not maintain any
financial interests in the purchase or sale of any security covered on its platform. None of the Data and Technology services recommend
any particular security or list of securities; rather, the Data and Technology services provide tools and information which allow Users
to review their independently developed trading strategies and conduct their own independent analysis. Aether publishes its Data Technology
services on its website on a routine or periodic basis, and the publication is not timed to specific market activity or to events having
the ability to effect the securities industry. Updates to the services, such as new indicators and models, are routinely published and
made generally available to Users. The Data Technology services and the associated updates are not &ldquo;pushed&rdquo; to Users, but
rather are made generally available for Users to &ldquo;pull&rdquo; from as they desire for their individual designs and purposes. The
updates are intended not to influence market activity but rather to improve the platform&rsquo;s functionality, add additional lenses
for self-directed analysis, and enhance the User experience.</FONT></P>

Company&rsquo;s &ldquo;Actionable Strategies&rdquo; financial research products do not fit the definition of an investment adviser as
described above. The Actionable Strategies products Aether offers to its subscribers are of a general and impersonal nature and are not
individualized or tailored to any subscriber&rsquo;s particular needs. The Company does not collect information regarding a User&rsquo;s
portfolio or tailor the product offering to a particular User&rsquo;s needs. Aether only collects the information typically required
to facilitate a subscription, such as a User&rsquo;s email address and billing information. Aether provides all Users within a particular
subscription tier with the same prepackaged tools and strategies, which Users select from, customize, and can choose to use to form their
own self-directed investment strategies. Aether&rsquo;s Actionable Strategies financial research offerings are genuine publications,
providing disinterested and impersonal commentary and analysis to subscribers. The Company does not maintain a financial interest in
recommending the purchase or sale of any specific security. The Company&rsquo;s &ldquo;Actionable Strategies&rdquo; products are general
in nature and do not recommend the purchase or sale of any security. For example, the Macro Index Trading Strategies encompass 21 distinct
models which allow Users to review baseline models designed around various market conditions and use these models as they see fit to
adapt or alter their own strategies. Aether publishes its Actionable Strategies on its website on a routine or periodic basis, and the
publication is not timed to specific market activity or to events having the ability to effect the securities industry. As with Aether&rsquo;s
Data and Technology services, the publishing of Aether&rsquo;s Actionable Strategies products is not timed to specific market activity.
Updates to the services, such as new indicators and models, are routinely published and made generally available to Users. The Actionable
Strategies products and their associated updates are not &ldquo;pushed&rdquo; to Users, but rather are made generally available for Users
to &ldquo;pull&rdquo; from as they desire for their individual designs and purposes.</FONT></P>
