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(e)
    
    In addition to the foregoing legends, the certificates representing the Shares,

longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and all
restrictions are removed with respect to such securities pursuant to applicable state
securities laws, shall bear, in addition to any legend(s) required by MI 45-102 and the
U.S. Securities Act, the following legend:THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK
EXCHANGE (TSX); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE
FACILITIES OF TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY
CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT GOOD DELIVERY IN SETTLEMENT OF
TRANSACTIONS ON TSX.
