In addition, upon a Company MSA Termination, if less than 50% of the LINN Incentive Units are vested at such one-third time, an additional ten percent (1/310%) of the Options which LINN Incentive Units (or such lesser amount as is sufficient to cause 50% of the LINN Incentive Units to be vested) will vest on each such anniversary shall be referred to herein effective as of the Company MSA Termination Date; provided that if the Company MSA Termination occurs as a “Tranche”result of a LINN Event, then such vesting shall not occur.
(b) unless previously vested or forfeited Annual vesting will continue during the MSA Transition Period. In addition, as of the end of the MSA Transition Period, vesting will be deemed to have occurred on a monthly basis at the rate of 0.83% for each month following the immediately preceding Annual Vesting Date. For example, if the MSA Transition Period ended one month following the Annual Vesting Date, an additional 0.83% vesting will be deemed to occur (1 month following the immediately preceding Annual Vesting Date x 0.83%). If the MSA Transition Period ended one month prior to the Annual Vesting Date, an additional 9.13% vesting will be deemed to have occurred (11 months following the immediately preceding Annual Vesting Date x 0.83%). If LINN breaches its obligations under the MSA during the MSA Transition Period and such breach would have given the Company the right to terminate the MSA in accordance with the Plan or its terms, LINN shall forfeit any rights to any further vesting set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent then unvested, the Options shall immediately become vested and exercisable if:
(i) the Participant’s employment terminates due to death or Permanent Disability, or
(ii) the Participant’s employment terminates within two years after a Change in Control without Cause or for Good Reason.

For the schedule described above avoidance of doubt, no further vesting shall occur following the termination of the MSA other than in accordance with this Section 4(a) absent such Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences, upon a Participant’s termination of employment for any reason, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement for vesting then remaining and permit, for a specified period of time consistent with the first sentence of Section 4(b) hereof the exercise of the Options prior to the satisfaction of such requirement.
