                            -3-                LRB9101038WHdv
 1    as a separate employing unit, would have been, at the time of

 3    Section;
 4        D.  Any  individual  or employing unit which succeeded to
 5    any of the assets of an employer or to any of the assets of a

 8    under subsections A or  B  of  this  Section,  by  any  means
 9    whatever,  otherwise than in the ordinary course of business,
10    unless and until it is proven in any  proceeding  where  such
11    issue is involved that all of the following exist:
12             1.  The successor unit has not assumed a substantial
13        amount of the predecessor unit's obligations; and
14             2.  The   successor   unit   has   not   acquired  a

23    proceeding   where  such  issue  is  involved  that  all  the
24    conditions enumerated in subsection D of this Section exist),
25    if the experience of the successor unit  subsequent  to  such
26    succession  plus the experience of the predecessor unit prior
27    to such succession, both within the same calendar year, would
28    equal the experience necessary  to  constitute  an  employing
29    unit an employer under subsections A or B of this Section;
30        For   the   purposes   of   this   subsection,  the  term
31    "predecessor  unit"  shall  include  any  distinct  severable
32    portion of an employing unit.
33        F.  With  respect  to  the  years  1937   through   1955,
34    inclusive, any employing unit which together with one or more
 
                            -4-                LRB9101038WHdv
 1    other  employing  units  is  owned or controlled, directly or
 2    indirectly, by legally enforceable means or otherwise, by the
 3    same interests, or which owns or controls one or  more  other
 4    employing   units   directly   or   indirectly,   by  legally
 5    enforceable means or otherwise, and which  if  treated  as  a
 6    single  unit  with such other employing units or interests or
 7    both would be an employer under subsections A or  B  of  this
 8    Section;
 9        G.  Any  employing  unit which, having become an employer
10    under subsections A, B, C, D, E, or F of  this  Section,  has
11    not, under Section 301, ceased to be an employer;
12        H.  For  the effective period of its election pursuant to
13    Section 302, any other employing unit which  has  elected  to
14    become fully subject to this Act;
15        I.  Any employing unit which is an employer under Section
16    245; or
17        J.  Any  employing  unit which, having become an employer
18    under Section 245, has not, with respect to the year 1960  or
19    thereafter, ceased to be an employer under Section 301.
20        K.  In  determining  whether or not an employing unit for
21    which service other than domestic service is  also  performed
22    is  an  employer under paragraphs 3, 4, or 6 of subsection B,
23    the domestic service of an  individual  and  the  wages  paid
24    therefor  shall  not  be  taken  into account. In determining
25    whether or not an employing unit for which service other than
26    agricultural labor is also performed  is  an  employer  under
27    paragraphs  4  or  7  of  subsection  B,  the  service  of an
28    individual in agricultural labor and the wages paid  therefor
29    shall  not  be taken into account. An employing unit which is
30    an employer under paragraph 6 of subsection B is an  employer
31    under paragraph 3 of subsection B.
