The term “One Year Break in Service” means, with respect to any employee or Participant, the 12-consecutive-month period commencing on the date of his or her termination of employment with the Employers and Related Companies or, if earlier, the first anniversary of a layoff by the Employers and Related Companies without recall, if the employee or Participant is not paid or entitled to payment for the performance of duties for an Employer or Related Company during that period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for purposes of determining whether a One Year Break in Service has occurred, if an employee or Participant is absent from service on account of a Maternity or Paternity Absence (as defined below) beyond the first anniversary of the date on which such absence began, a One Year Break in Service shall not occur until the third anniversary of the first day of such absence. For all other purposes hereunder, however, no portion of such Maternity or Paternity absence occurring after the first anniversary of the first day thereof shall be credited as part of a Year of Service. The term “Maternity or Paternity Absence” means an employee’s or Participant’s absence from work which commences on or after January 1, 1985 because of the pregnancy of such individual, the birth of a child of such individual, the placement of a child with such individual in connection with the adoption of a child by such individual, or for purposes of caring for the child by such individual immediately following such birth or placement. The Administration Committee may require the employee or Participant to furnish such information as it considers necessary to establish that such individual’s absence was a Maternity or Paternity Absence. An absence on account of a period of leave required by the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 shall not be counted towards a One Year Break in Service.

c. A One-Year Break in Service is repairable, in the sense that its effects are eliminated if, before incurring a Permanent Break in Service, the Employee subsequently becomes a Participant as provided in Section 2.3. In such case, previously earned Years of Vesting Service and Pension Credit shall be restored. However, nothing in this subsection c. shall change the effect of a Permanent Break in Service.

Services performed and Hours of Service earned during the period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending August 31, 1999 shall be taken into account in the computation period ending August 31, 1999 and in the computation period ending December 31, 1999.
