herein, as increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in calendar year 2008 by a number of Class A Shares equal to the lesser of (x) the excess of (i) 15% of the number of outstanding Class A and Class B shares of

subject to Code Section 162(m), the aggregate Awards granted during any fiscal year to any single individual who is likely to be a “covered employee” as defined under Code Section 162(m) shall not exceed (i) 10,000,000
shares subject to Options or Share Appreciation Rights or (ii) 10,000,000 shares subject to Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Shares, unrestricted Shares or Other Share-Based Awards. Determinations made in respect of the

extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan. 
 Section 5. Equitable Adjustments. 
 In the event of any Change in Capitalization, an equitable substitution or
proportionate adjustment shall be made, in each case, in the manner to be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in (i) the aggregate number of Shares reserved 

  

 9 








 
for issuance under the Plan and the maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Awards granted to any Participant in any calendar or fiscal year,
(ii) the kind, number and Exercise Price subject to outstanding Options and Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan, and (iii) the kind, number and purchase price of Shares subject to outstanding awards of Restricted Shares,
Deferred Shares, Performance Shares, unrestricted shares or Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan, provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Equitable substitutions or adjustments
shall also be made if the Administrator determines in its sole discretion that such adjustment is necessary in order to avoid an adverse impact on the value of any outstanding award granted hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator shall take such action as is necessary to adjust the outstanding awards to reflect the Change in Capitalization, including, but not limited to, the cancellation of any
outstanding award granted hereunder in exchange for payment in cash or other property of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such award, reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price or purchase price thereof, if any. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no such adjustment shall cause any Award hereunder that is or becomes subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to comply with the requirements of such section. The Administrator’s determinations pursuant to this
Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant, provided that the Exercise Price of any Option intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall not be less than 100% of
the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. 
 (c) Option Term. The maximum term of each Option shall be
fixed by the Administrator, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option’s term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

(d) Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including
the attainment of preestablished corporate performance goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the
Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Option may
not be exercised for a fraction of a share. 
 (e) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by
giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the
Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise
procedure approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Participant which, (x) in the case of unrestricted Shares acquired
upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Participant for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate option price of the Shares as to which such
Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. 
 (f) Rights as Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights to distributions or any other rights of a shareholder with respect to
the Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such Shares, has satisfied the requirements of Section 15 hereof and, if requested, has given the representation described in
paragraph (b) of Section 16 hereof. 
  

 11 








 (g) Transfers of Options. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, no
Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a Participant other than by the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accord with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option
may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during the period the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The Administrator may, in its sole
discretion, subject to applicable law, permit the gratuitous transfer during a Participant’s lifetime of a Nonqualified Share Option, (i) by gift to a member of the Participant’s immediate family, (ii) by transfer by instrument
to a trust for the benefit of such immediate family members, or (iii) to a partnership or limited liability company in which such family members are the only partners or members; provided, however, that, in addition to such other
terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine in connection with any such transfer, no transferee may further assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the transferred Option, in whole or in part, other than by shall or by operation
of the laws of descent and distribution. Each permitted transferee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (h) Termination of Employment or Service. 
 (1) Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the
Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall terminate for any reason other than Cause, Retirement, Disability, or death, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall
remain exercisable until the date that is 90 days after such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire
at the close of business on the date of such termination. The 90-day period described in this Section 7(i)(1) shall be extended to one year after the date of such termination in the event of the Participant’s death during such 90-day
period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term. 
 (2) Unless the
applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company or any Subsidiary shall terminate on account of the Retirement, Disability, or death of the Participant, (A) Options
granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is one year after such termination, on which date they shall expire and (B) Options granted to
such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration
of its term. 
  

 12 








 (3) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service for
Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire at the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

times at which, grants of Share Appreciation Rights shall be made; the number of Shares to be awarded, the price per share, and all other conditions of Share Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted for
more shares than are subject to the Award to which it relates and any Share Appreciation Right must be granted with an Exercise Price not less than the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant. The provisions of Share Appreciation Rights
need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions,

 (d) Payment Upon Exercise. 
 (1) Upon the exercise of a Free Standing Share Appreciation Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than,
that number of Shares equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of exercise over the price per share specified in the Free Standing Share Appreciation Right (which price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of such Share on the date of grant) multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Free Standing Share Appreciation Right is being exercised, with the Administrator having the right to determine the form of payment.

 (2) A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Award. Upon
such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified
in the related Award (which price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant) multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Related Share Appreciation Right is being exercised, with the
Administrator having the right to determine the form of payment. Awards that have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised. 
 (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Share Appreciation Right in cash (or in any
combination of Shares and cash) to the extent that such settlement does not violate Section 409A of the Code. 
 (e)
Non-Transferability. 
 (1) Free Standing Share Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent
that an Award would be transferable under Section 7 of the Plan. 
  

 14 








 (2) Related Share Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent
that the underlying Award would be transferable under Section 7 of the Plan. 
 (f) Termination of Employment or
Service. 
 (1) In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate
of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free Standing Share Appreciation Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after grant.

 (2) In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary of a Participant who has
been granted one or more Related Share Appreciation Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Share Options. 
 (g) Term. 
 (1) The term of each Free Standing Share Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Free Standing Share Appreciation Right shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such right is granted. 
 (2) The term of each Related Share Appreciation Right shall be the term of the Award to which it relates, but no Related Share
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such right is granted. 
 Section 9. Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares
and Performance Shares. 
 (a) General. Awards of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares may be
issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, awards of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares shall be
made; the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares; the Restricted Period (as defined in paragraph (c) of this
Section 9), if any, applicable to awards of Restricted Shares or Deferred Shares; the performance objectives applicable to awards of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares; and all other conditions of the awards of Restricted
Shares, Deferred Shares and Performance Shares. The Administrator may also condition the grant of the award of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares upon the exercise of Options, or upon such other criteria as the Administrator
may determine, in its sole discretion. If the restrictions, performance objectives and/or conditions established by the Administrator 

  

 15 








 
are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her shares of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares. The provisions of the awards of
Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares need not be the same with respect to each Participant. 
 (b)
Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of awards of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares shall not have any rights with respect to any such award, unless and until such recipient has executed an Award Agreement
and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Except as otherwise provided below in this Section 9, (i) each
Participant who is granted an award of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares shall be issued a share certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares (or such other appropriate evidence of ownership as determined by
the Administrator); and (ii) such certificate (or other evidence of ownership) shall be registered in the name of the Participant, and, if appropriate, shall bear a legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any
such award. 
 The Company may require that the share certificates evidencing Restricted Shares or Performance Shares granted hereunder be
held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares, the Participant shall have delivered a power of attorney, endorsed in blank,
relating to the Shares covered by such award. 
 With respect to awards of Deferred Shares, at the expiration of the Restricted Period, share
certificates in respect of such shares of Deferred Shares shall be delivered to the Participant, or his legal representative, in a number equal to the number of Shares covered by the Deferred Shares award. 
 (c) Restrictions and Conditions. The awards of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares and Performance Shares granted pursuant to this
Section 9 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or thereafter: 
 (1) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Restricted Shares Award Agreement, Deferred Shares Award Agreement or Performance Shares
Award Agreement, as appropriate, governing any such award, during such period as may be set by the Administrator commencing on the date of grant (the “Restricted Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer,
pledge or assign shares of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares awarded under the Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of such restrictions in
installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain
performance related goals, the Participant’s termination of 

  

 16 








 
employment or service as a director or Consultant to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Participant’s death or Disability. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the outstanding Awards shall be subject to Section 12 hereof. 
 (2) Except as
may be provided in a Restricted Share Award Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to Restricted Shares or Performance Shares during the Restricted Period. The Participant shall
generally not have the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to awards of Deferred Shares during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that distributions declared during the Restricted Period with respect to the
number of Shares covered by Deferred Shares shall be paid to the Participant. Certificates for unrestricted Shares shall be delivered to the Participant promptly after, and only after, the Restricted Period shall expire without forfeiture in respect
of such awards of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares except as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine. 
 (3) The rights of Participants granted awards of Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares or Performance Shares upon termination of employment or service as a director or Consultant to the Company or to any Subsidiary or
Affiliate terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. 
 Section 10. Other Share-Based Awards.

 (a) The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Share-Based Awards, as deemed
by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and as evidenced by an Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, awards of LTIP Units, awards of restricted share units and awards that are valued in whole or in part by
reference to Class A Shares, including awards valued by reference to book value, fair value or performance of a subsidiary, partner interests or FOG Units, including distribution equivalent rights and performance units. Other Share-Based Awards
may be granted as free-standing awards or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, consistent with the terms of the Plan, at the date of grant or thereafter, including any
Performance Goals and performance periods. Shares or other securities or property delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 10 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times,
by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, Shares, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to any required corporate action. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, settle
such Other Share-Based Awards for cash or other property as appropriate; provided that it determines, after consultation with its legal counsel and tax advisers, that such alternate settlement would be in the Company’s best interest.

  

 17 








 (b) LTIP Units may be granted as free-standing awards or in tandem with other Awards
under the Plan, and may be valued by reference to the Company’s Class A Shares, and will be subject to such other conditions and restrictions as the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine, including, but not
limited to, continued employment or service, computation of financial metrics and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. LTIP Unit awards, whether vested or unvested, may entitle the participant to receive, currently or
on a deferred or contingent basis, distributions or distribution equivalent payments with respect to the number Class A Shares corresponding to the LTIP Unit or other distributions from FOG and the Administrator may provide in the applicable
Award Agreement that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Class A Shares or LTIP Units. The LTIP Units granted under the Plan, subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Administrator
in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to the conversion ratio, may be exchanged for Class A shares in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement. LTIP units may be structured as “profits interests,”
“capital interests” or other types of interests for federal income tax purposes. The Administrator has the authority to determine the number of shares underlying an award of LTIP Units in light of all applicable circumstances, including
performance-based vesting conditions, operating partnership “capital account allocations,” to the extent set forth in the partnership agreements for Fortress Operating Group, the Code, or value accretion factors and conversion ratios.

 (c) To the extent that the Plan is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, no payment shall be made to a “covered
employee” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code) prior to the certification by the Committee that the Performance Goals have been attained. The Committee may establish such other rules applicable to the Other Share-Based
Awards, provided, however, that in the event that the Plan is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, such rules shall be in compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 Section 11. Non-Employee Director Grants. 
 (a) Annual Grant. Except as
otherwise provided by the Administrator, on the first business day after the annual shareholders’ meeting of the Company and each annual shareholders’ meeting thereafter during the term of the Plan (beginning with the annual
shareholders’ meeting in 2010), each Non-Employee Director shall be granted that number of Class A Shares, the aggregate Fair Market Value of which shall equal the portion of the Non-Employee Directors’ compensation that is determined
by the Compensation Committee of the Board in that year to be awarded in Shares on the date of grant (the “Non-Employee Director Shares”). The Non-Employee Director Shares shall be fully vested as of the date of grant. 
  

 18 








 (b) Share Availability. In the event that the number of Shares available for grant
under the Plan is not sufficient to accommodate the awards of Non-Employee Director Shares, the remaining Shares available for such automatic awards shall be granted to each Non-Employee Director who is to receive such an award on a pro-rata basis.
No further grants shall be made until such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under the Plan. 
 Section 12. Intentionally
Deleted. 
 Section 13. Amendment and Termination. 
 The Board may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such
Participant’s consent. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Board shall obtain approval of the Company’s shareholders for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of sections 162(m) of the
Code, any rules of the stock exchange on which the Shares are traded or other applicable law. If any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator
reserves the right to (but is not obligated to) amend, modify or supplement such Award in order to cause it to either not be subject to Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The
Administrator may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 5 of the Plan, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent. 
 Section 14. Unfunded Status of Plan. 
 The Plan
is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than
those of a general creditor of the Company. 
 Section 15. Withholding Taxes. 
 Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for
federal and/or state income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Award. The
obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due
to the Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an award granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto.
Whenever Shares are to be delivered pursuant to an award, 

  

 19 








 
the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements related thereto. With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted
Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts
shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by
law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Option or other Award. 
 Section 16. General Provisions. 
 (a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Award granted hereunder unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance
and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares
may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 (b) The Administrator may require each person acquiring Shares to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may
include any legend that the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer which the Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, arise under applicable securities laws or are otherwise applicable. 
 (c) All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the
Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
 (d) The Administrator may require a Participant receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to enter into a shareholder agreement or “lock-up” agreement in such
form as the Committee shall determine is necessary or desirable to further the Company’s interests. 
  

 20 








 (e) The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to
continued employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any
time. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything herein, in any Award Agreement, or elsewhere to the contrary, in the event a Participant
is, as determined by the Company, a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and final Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1) on the date the Participant’s termination of employment with the
Company or an Affiliate thereof becomes effective (the “Termination Date”) and the Company determines that certain amounts due to the Participant under an Award constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code that will subject the Participant to “additional tax” and/or penalties under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code with respect to the payment of such amounts if paid to the Participant at the time(s)
prescribed under the Plan or Award Agreement, then, subject to Section 409A of the Code, such amounts due under an Award shall be postponed to the earlier of (i) the first scheduled payroll date that occurs more than six (6) months
following the Termination Date or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death. 
 Section 17. Effective Date. 
 The Plan became effective upon adoption by the Board on February 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), and approval by shareholders of the
Company on February 1, 2007. 
 Section 18. Term of Plan. 
 No award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.
