Determination of Years of Service. For purposes of determining the vested and nonforfeitable percentage of the Participant’s Employer Contribution Subaccount, all of the participant’s Years of Service with the Employer or an Affiliated Employer shall be taken into account. If specified in the Adoption Agreement, Years of Service with a predecessor employer will be treated as service for the Employer, provided, however, that if the Employer maintains the plan of a predecessor employer, Years of Service with such employer will be treated as service with the Employer without regard to any election.
Determination of Years of Service. For purposes of determining a Participant's Vested Interest in his Accrued Benefit derived from Company Contributions and Matching Contributions under section 8.01 above, all Years of Service shall be taken into account except for the following:
(a) In the case of an Employee who has suffered a One-Year Break in Service, Years of Service before such Break in Service shall not be taken into account until the Employee has completed a Year of Service after his return; and
(b) In the case of a Participant who does not have any Vested Interest in his Accrued Benefit derived from Company Contributions under section 8.01, Years of Service before a One-Year Break in Service shall not be taken into account if the number of consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service equals or exceeds the greater of the aggregate number of such Years of Service prior to such Break in Service or five (5). Such aggregate number of Years of Service before such Break in Service shall be deemed not to include any Years of Service not required to be taken into account under this subsection by reason of any prior Break in Service.
