IN ANY CASE, THE HOLDER HEREOF WILL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY HEDGING TRANSACTION WITH REGARD TO THIS SECURITY, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE SECURITIES ACT.
	(d)		certificates representing the Shares will bear a legend containing restrictions in conformity with the U.S. Securities Act with respect to the resale of the securities of the type set forth in clause 8.1(c) above, until the earlier of: (1) the Shares are sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement and the seller shall have provided written confirmation to Apollo that the seller has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements under the U.S. Securities Act; or (2) the holder of the applicable security has furnished to Apollo an opinion of U.S. securities counsel reasonably acceptable to Apollo that the securities represented by such certificates are no longer “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act; and

8.2		The Subscriber also acknowledges that it has been advised to consult its own legal advisors with respect to applicable resale restrictions and that it is solely responsible (and Apollo is not in any manner responsible) for complying with such restrictions, including, without limitation of the foregoing, as long as the Shares are restricted securities under the U.S. Securities Act, such securities may only be resold (a) to Apollo, (b) pursuant to Regulation S, (c) pursuant to another exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act or (d) pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the U.S. Securities Act; and
