“ Affiliate ” means an affiliate of the Company (or other referenced entity, as the case may be) as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

“ Cause ” means:

(i)  the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal or fraudulent conduct or gross misconduct which, in each case, is materially and demonstrably injurious (x) to the Parent, the Company or any of Parent’s other controlled Affiliates other than the Fortress Funds (as defined in Section 8(l) hereof) and their Subsidiaries, (y) to the reputation of the Executive, the Parent, the Company or any of Parent’s other controlled Affiliates other than the Fortress Funds and their Subsidiaries, or (z) to any of the Parent’s or the Company’s material funds or businesses, or

(ii) conviction of a felony or guilty or nolo contendere plea by the Executive with respect thereto, or

(iii)  a material breach by the Executive of the non-competition or non-solicitation covenants provided in Section 6 hereof and Exhibit A hereto, if such breach is curable and is not cured within thirty business days following receipt of a notice of such breach or if such breach is not curable.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or was done or omitted to be done with reckless disregard to the consequences. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is

provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct constituting Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

“ Subsidiary ” means a subsidiary of the Company (or other referenced entity, as the case may be) as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(e)                                   Resignation as Officer or Director .  Upon the termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall resign each position (if any) that Executive then holds as an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Executive’s execution of this Agreement shall be deemed the grant by Executive to the officers of the Company and its Affiliates of a limited power of attorney to sign in Executive’s name and on Executive’s behalf documentation solely for the limited purpose of effectuating such resignations.

(f)                                     Section 409A .  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement (including all exhibits hereto) comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement, and no payment shall be due to Executive under this Agreement, until Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  Any payments described in this Agreement that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.  The amount of expenses that are eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in another taxable year.  Any reimbursements of such expenses shall be made by the end of the year following the year in which the related expenses were incurred, or, in the case of reimbursements for any taxes to which Executive becomes entitled, by the end of the year following the year in which Executive remits the related taxes, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to reimbursement does not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be

construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any payments to be made in connection with Executive’s separation from service would result in the imposition of any individual penalty tax imposed under Code Section 409A, the payment shall instead be made on
