(b) From and after the Closing Date until the expiration of the Lockup Period, except for the piggy-back registration by Tecore of up to 5 million Shares of Common Stock as contemplated in Section 5(b) above, each Note Holder hereby irrevocably agrees it will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of, any of the Shares or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive, Shares or join in any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In the event AirNet makes such a request and in the event any of the Note Holders agree to such request, from and after the Closing Date until the expiration of the Lockup Period, each Note Holder hereby agrees that upon such conversion it will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of, any of the Excepted Shares or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive, Excepted Shares or join in any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
