Vesting. Subject to Section 5(c), each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the applicable Restricted Share Award Agreement. A Restricted Share Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

Vesting. The Units are fully vested as of the Grant Date.

Vesting. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, effective as of the “Closing Date” (as such term is defined in the Magnolia Sale Agreement), the “Transferred U.S. Employees” (as such term is defined in the Magnolia Sale Agreement) shall be 100% vested in their Accounts under the Plan.
