A local employer which has previously established a plan may establish a plan in accordance with the requirements of this Subtitle so long as:

(ii) another local employer has been substituted as sponsor of the previously established plan.

(b) A deferred compensation committee shall be appointed by a local employer to act on behalf of the local employer under the model plan or a plan described in paragraph (a)(3) of this section to the extent permitted or required by this Subtitle and by such plan whenever such employer adopts such plan and shall continue in existence, as it may be reconstituted from time to time by the local employer in accordance with applicable law, for so long as such plan remains in existence.
