The Plan will determine the amount of Salary Reduction Contributions and/or, effective January 1, 2011, Roth Contributions of an individual treated as reemployed under this Section for purposes of applying Section 414(u)(8)(C) of the Code on the basis of the individual’s average actual Salary Reduction Contributions and/or Roth Contributions for the lesser of: (i) the 12-month period of service with the Participating Company immediately prior to qualified military service; or (ii) if service with the Participating Company is less than such 12-month period, the actual length of continuous service with the Participating Company.

An individual receiving a differential wage payment paid after December 31, 2008, as defined by Section 3401(h)(2) of the Code, is treated as an Employee of the Company (or Affiliated Company) making the payment. Furthermore, the differential wage payment is treated as Compensation and 415 Compensation, and the Plan is not treated as failing to meet the requirements of any provision described in Section 414(u)(l)(C) of the Code by reason of any contribution or benefit which is based on the differential wage payment (provided the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 414(u)(12)(C) are satisfied).
