Minimum Vesting. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan and all Plan Years thereafter, the Top-Heavy vesting schedule elected in Section 1.12(d) will automatically apply to the Plan. The Top-Heavy vesting schedule applies to all benefits within the meaning of Section 411(a)(7) of the Code except those attributable to Employee Contributions or those already subject to a vesting schedule which vests at least as rapidly in all cases as the schedule elected in Section 1.12(d), including benefits accrued before the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan. Further, no decrease in a Participant's nonforfeitable percentage may occur in the event the Plan's status as a Top-Heavy Plan changes for any Plan Year. However, this Section 9.05 does not apply to the Account of any Employee who does not have an Hour of Service after the Plan has initially become a Top-Heavy Plan and such Employee's Account attributable to Employer Contributions will be determined without regard to this Section 9.05.
Minimum Vesting. After 2 years of continuous service as a member of the Pension Plan, a terminating employee is entitled to the actuarial equivalent of the benefits payable at normal retirement with respect to credited service subsequent to December 31, 1986, plus any required contributions with interest to date of termination.
Minimum Vesting. For any Plan Year during which this Plan is Top-Heavy, the minimum vesting schedule selected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement will apply to the Plan. If the vesting schedule elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement is less liberal than the allowable schedule, the schedule will automatically shift to a vesting schedule that satisfies the Top-Heavy minimum requirements. For those Plans using a graded vesting schedule, the schedule will accelerate to no less than a two (2) to six (6) year graded vesting schedule. For those Plans using a cliff vesting schedule, the schedule will accelerate to a three (3) year cliff vesting schedule. If the vesting schedule under the Employer’s Plan shifts in or out of the Top-Heavy schedule for any Plan Year, such shift is an amendment to the vesting schedule and the election in paragraph 9.9 applies. The minimum vesting schedule applies to all accrued benefits within the meaning of Code Section 411(a)(7) except those attributable to Employee contributions, including benefits accrued before the effective date of Code Section 416 and benefits accrued before the Plan became Top-Heavy. No reduction in vested benefits may occur in the event the Plan’s status as Top-Heavy changes for any Plan Year. This paragraph does not apply to the account balances of any Employee who does not have one (1) Hour of Service after the Plan initially becomes Top-Heavy and such Employee’s account balance attributable to Employer contributions and forfeitures will be determined without regard to this paragraph.

Minimum Vesting. Expect with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the number of shares reserved under the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 3.1(b)), each Award shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one (1) year commencing from the grant date, or respect to Awards that vest upon the attainment of performance goals, a performance period that is at least one (1) year. For the purposes of clarity, this Section 4.7 shall not prevent the Committee from accelerating any Award in accordance with any provisions set forth in this Plan.
Minimum Vesting. For any Plan Year in which this Plan is top-heavy or deemed to be top-heavy, one of the minimum vesting schedules set forth in the Adoption Agreement shall automatically apply to the Employer and Matching Account of each Participant of the Plan who has an Hour of Service after the Plan becomes top-heavy or is deemed to be top-heavy if the minimum vesting schedule provides faster vesting than the regular vesting schedule specified by the Employer in its Adoption Agreement. The minimum vesting schedule applies to the entire Employer and Matching Account of the Participant, including benefits accrued before the effective date of Section 416 and benefits accrued before the Plan became top-heavy. In the event the Plan ceases to be top-heavy for any subsequent Plan Year, the vested percentage of any Participant who terminated after the Plan has ceased to be top-heavy shall continue to be determined by the top-heavy vesting schedule.
Minimum Vesting. All Awards shall be subject a minimum vesting schedule of at least twelve (12) months following the date of grant of the Award, provided, however, that vesting may accelerate in connection with death, disability, a change of control, retirement, or other involuntary termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the Shares available for grant under the Plan may be granted with a minimum vesting schedule that is shorter than that mandated in this Section 6.3.
