25 if the experience of the successor unit subsequent to such

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

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;

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
