5












Floor, New York, NY 10105, e-mail: nsantoro@fortress.com (or such other office or agency of the Company in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company), and (B) payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares thereby purchased at the election of the Warrantholder (i) by tendering in cash, either by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, at the election of the Warrantholder, (ii) so long as the Warrantholder is the holder of a Loan in a principal amount exceeding the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares, by reduction in principal amount of the Loan held by the Warrantholder in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares, (iii) by means of a Cashless Exercise as set forth in the paragraph below, or (iv) by a combination of the foregoing.
The Warrantholder may, in its sole discretion and in lieu of payment of the Exercise Price, elect to exercise all or any part of this Warrant in a “cashless” or “net-issue” exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”) by delivering to the Company a Notice of Exercise selecting a Cashless Exercise, as a result of which the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock calculated using the following formula:
          X = Y * (A - B)
                   A


        where: X =  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the 
 Warrantholder


         Y = the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised


         A = the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise of this Warrant


         B = the then-current Exercise Price of the Warrant
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company in order to exercise all or a portion of this Warrant; provided, however, that if the Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the Warrantholder shall promptly following such partial exercise surrender this Warrant to the Company and shall be entitled to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised. When the Warrantholder has purchased all of the Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, the Warrantholder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three business days after the date the final Notice of Exercise is 
        
6












delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Shares purchased. The Warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall inform the Warrantholder if a Notice of Exercise has not been duly completed within one business day of receipt of such notice, but shall not refuse or object to the issuance of the Shares upon receipt of, and pursuant to, a duly completed Notice of Exercise. The Warrantholder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Shares hereunder, the number of Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. 
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its exercise of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the Warrantholder will have first received, to the extent applicable and required to permit the Warrantholder to exercise this Warrant for shares of Common Stock and to own such Common Stock, the receipt of any necessary approvals and authorizations of, filings and registrations with, notifications to, or expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under, the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(A)Mechanics of Exercise.
(i)Delivery of Certificates and/or Book-Entry Shares Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to the Warrantholder by, at the Warrantholder’s request (A) crediting the account of the Warrantholder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system if the Company is then a participant in such system, (B) physical delivery to the address specified by the Warrantholder in the Notice of Exercise or (C) by entry on the books of the Company (or the Company’s transfer agent, if any), in each case by the date that is two trading days after the later of (1) payment of the Exercise Price as set forth above or (2) the date of a Cashless Exercise, if applicable (such later date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The applicable Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Warrantholder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the applicable exercise date or the date that is two trading days following the date of a Cashless Exercise, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to 
        
7












deliver shares through the system of The Depositary Trust Company if it determines that pursuant to Section 10 a legend is required to be included on the Shares being delivered. 
(ii)Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Warrantholder a certificate or the certificates representing the Shares pursuant to Section 5(A)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than as a result of any action or inaction of the Warrantholder’s prime broker), then the Warrantholder shall have the right to rescind such exercise. Any rescission by the Warrantholder pursuant to this Section 5(A)(ii) shall not affect any other remedies available to the Warrantholder under applicable law or equity as a result of the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Shares.
(iii)Closing of Books.  The Company shall not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof.
(B)Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with an underwritten public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may, at the election of the Warrantholder (set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise), be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.
(C)Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees, as applicable:
(iv)The Company (A) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (B) has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, to issue and enter into this Warrant and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and (C) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, has not had, and could not be reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or operations of the Company, is qualified to do business and, where applicable is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.
(v)This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.  This Warrant constitutes, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in 
        
8












accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
(vi)The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Warrant and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant does not and will not (A) violate any material provision of applicable law or the organizational documents of the Company, (B) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with the giving of any notice, the passage of time, or both) a default under any material agreement of the Company or (C) result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien upon any assets of the Company.
(vii)The Company covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights represented by this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to assure that such Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation or any preemptive or similar rights of any equity holder of the Company. The Company shall (A) procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all principal stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded and (B) maintain such listings of such Shares at all times after issuance. 
(viii)The Company covenants that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, except as otherwise provided herein, income and franchise taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith)

9

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (A) not increase the par value of any Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (B) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, (C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant, and (D) use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the Company from repurchasing or otherwise buying back shares of its Common Stock.
(x)Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.
6.No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Share that the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at the Company’s election, either (A) pay to such Warrantholder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (1) such fraction multiplied by (2) the Market Price of one Share on the exercise date or the date of Cashless Exercise, as applicable, or (B) round up to the next whole share.
7.No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date of exercise hereof.

(A)Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or otherwise make a distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 15(A) shall, in the case of a dividend or distribution, become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and, in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification, become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(B)Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to any or all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights, warrants or other property (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 15(A)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the securities, evidences of 
        
13












indebtedness, assets, rights, warrants or other property to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (such amount and/or Fair Market Value, the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash, warrants or other property, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
(C)Adjustments Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 15(A)), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 15(A)) in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or property with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Warrantholder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Warrantholder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 15 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, 
        
14












securities or property thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the consummation of such transaction, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such transaction, then the Warrantholder shall have the right to make a similar election (including, without limitation, being subject to similar proration constraints) upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to the number of shares of stock or other securities or property which the Warrantholder will receive upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 15(A) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. Prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares of stock, securities or property which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant.
(D)Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 15 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 15 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more.
(E)Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 15 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
        
15












(F)Notice to the Warrantholder.
(i)Adjustment to Exercise Price.  Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 15, the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including (A) a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Shares or other securities or property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), (B) in the case of adjustment pursuant to Section 15(B), a statement of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock, and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and certifying the calculation thereof, and  (C) the amount of withholding taxes, if any, that would be payable by the Company as a result of the adjustment, as described in Section 15(J). The Company shall deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Warrantholder as promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than ten business days thereafter.
(ii)Notice to Allow Exercise by the Warrantholder.  If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special or nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights of the Company, (D) the Company enters into or becomes bound by an agreement in connection with a Change of Control or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case (other than in the case of an Ordinary Cash Dividend), the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Company’s records, at least 10 business days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such Change of Control is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such Change of Control; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Warrantholder shall remain entitled to exercise this 
        
16












Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable laws, to the extent that any notice provided pursuant to this Section 15(F)(ii) contains material, non-public information regarding the Company, the Company shall disclose such information regarding the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K and file such Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC no later than the business day following the date such notice is delivered to the Warrantholder.
(G)Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 15, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to each Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.
(H)Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 15, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, New York Stock Exchange or other applicable national securities exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock that the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 15.
(I)Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 15 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.
(J)Withholding. The Warrantholder shall indemnify the Company for any liability for withholding tax on any constructive dividends for tax purposes resulting from an  adjustment described in this Section 15. Promptly following Warrantholder’s receipt of the notice described in  Section 15(F)(i), Warrantholder shall remit to the Company the full amount of such withholding taxes (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that a reduced amount of withholding shall apply, together with payment of the reduced amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  in  this  Section  15, the adjustments to the Exercise Price described in this Section 15 shall not be effective until the Warrantholder has complied with its 
        
17












obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence. This Section 15(J) shall survive the Exercise, lapse, transfer, or termination of this Warrant.  If there is more than one permissible method to determine the amount of the constructive dividend for tax purposes, the Company will select the method that results in the lowest constructive dividend amount.
16.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Each of the parties hereto agrees (a) to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the State or Federal courts in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, (b) that exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie in the State or Federal courts in the State of New York, and (c) that notice may be served upon such party at the address and in the manner set forth for such party in Section 19 hereof. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS WARRANT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
17.Binding Effect. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective the successors and permitted assigns.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of the Warrantholder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Warrantholder or holder of Shares.
18.Amendments. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder.
19.Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of facsimile, or three business days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed.
