(5)  For the purpose of making any computation
under this subsection, any amount which has been credited to
Maryland's account under § 903 of the Social Security Act,
as amended, and which has been appropriated for expenses of
administration, whether or not withdrawn from said account,
shall be excluded from the total amount available for
benefits in the fund. Further, amounts receivable by the
fund as federal reimbursements for sharable benefits under
the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of
1970 and all advance payments made on behalf of eligible
employers electing to reimburse the fund for benefit charges
in lieu of contributions shall be treated as accounts
receivable to the fund and shall be included in the fund for
computation purposes under this section.

(6)  If an employer subject to this article shall
transfer to another employing unit, or other employing units
by sale or otherwise, his entire organization, trade, or
business, or substantially all the assets thereof, and that
transfer constitutes a transfer of that employer's employing
enterprise as a going concern, the Executive Director shall
combine the experience-rating records of the two employing
units and shall for purposes of rate determination transfer
to the successor employer the payroll record and the benefit
charges of the predecessor. In the event the predecessor
remains in business and has employment after the date of the
transfer, the predecessor shall be regarded for
experience-rating purposes as a new employer. Provided,
that the payroll record and benefit charges of the
predecessor shall be charged to the new employing unit or
employing units in the same proportion as the payroll record
of the unit being transferred has to the total business of
the predecessor.

The successor employer shall be liable for the
contributions for such business from the date the transfer
occurred.
