For purposes of this Section 6.03, a One-Year Period of Severance is a 12-consecutive month period beginning on an Employee’s Severance Date and ending on the anniversary of such date during which the Employee does not perform an Hour of Service. If an Employee is absent from work due to (iii) pregnancy of the Employee, (iv) birth of a child of the Employee, (v) placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by the Employee or (vi) the Employee’s caring for a child during the period immediately following the birth or adoption, the 12-consecutive month period beginning on the first day of the absence shall not constitute a One-Year Period of Severance. Any period of absence included as Vesting Service pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.54(b) or (c) shall not be taken into account in





determining whether a One-Year Period of Severance has occurred.

(i)
he is reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer prior to incurring five consecutive One-Year Periods of Severance and
(ii)
he repays to the Plan during his period of reemployment and within five years of his date of reemployment an amount in cash equal to the full amount distributed to him from the Plan on account of his termination of employment. Repayment shall be made in one lump sum.
.(c)
In the event that any amounts to be restored by the Employer to a Member's Employer Account have been forfeited under subsection (a) above, those amounts shall be taken first from any forfeitures which have not as yet been applied against Employer contributions or used to pay expenses of the Plan not paid directly by the Employer, and if any amounts remain to be restored, the Employer shall make a special Employer contribution equal to those amounts.
(d)
A repayment shall be invested in the available Investment Funds as the Member elects (or is deemed to have elected pursuant to Section 4.02) at the time of repayment.
(e)
To the extent there are any forfeitures in the Acquired Forfeiture Account, such forfeitures shall be applied to offset Plan expenses under Section 11.04.
