  (c)   Any expenses of the Plan which are to be paid by the Employer with respect to its participating employees shall be paid by the Adopting Employer with respect to its employees.
 
  (d)   Each Adopting Employer shall be deemed to be a part of the Plan; provided, however, that with respect to all its relations with the Plan Administrator for purposes of the Plan, each Adopting Employer shall be deemed to have designated irrevocably the Employer as its agent. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the word “Employer” shall be deemed to include each Adopting Employer as related to its adoption of the Plan.
