NEITHER ANY WARRANT REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE NOR ANY SECURITIES ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANT MAY BE EXERCISED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY U.S. PERSON, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN REGULATION S PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT, UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
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
