     2. Paragraph 4 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
  “4.   The annual supplemental retirement benefit payable under this Agreement, if any, shall be calculated as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment (or death, if earlier) as follows:
  (a)   5% of the Executive’s average 3 highest calendar years’ Earnings,
      multiplied by
      the Executive’s years (including partial years calculated to the last full month completed) of Continuous Service completed before July 1, 2009 up to a maximum of 10 years;
      PLUS
  (b)   the sum of (i), (ii) and (iii), where:
  (i)   is equal to 2% of the Executive’s average 3 highest calendar years’ Earnings,

 


 

      multiplied by
      the Executive’s years (including partial years calculated to the last full month completed) of Continuous Service in excess of 25 years to a maximum of 10 additional years, to the extent that such Continuous Service was completed before July 1, 2009;
 
  (ii)   is equal to 2% of the Executive’s average Earnings for the 3 consecutive calendar years during which the Executive’s Earnings were the highest,
      multiplied by
      the Executive’s years (including partial years calculated to the last full month completed) of Continuous Service in excess of 25 years to a maximum of 10 additional years, provided that (A) such Continuous Service was completed on and after July 1, 2009 but before January 1, 2011, and (B) the sum of the years of Continuous Service taken into account under section (b)(i) and this section (b)(ii) does not exceed 10; and
 
  (iii)   is equal to 1.5% of the Executive’s average Earnings for the 3 consecutive calendar years during which the Executive’s Earnings were the highest,
      multiplied by
      the Executive’s years (including partial years calculated to the last full month completed) of Continuous Service in excess of 25 years to a maximum of 10 additional years, provided that (A) such Continuous Service was completed on and after January 1, 2011, and (B) the sum of the years of Continuous Service taken into account under sections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) and this section (b)(iii) does not exceed 10;
      MINUS
  (c)   the annual retirement benefit which can be provided with the sum of (i) the balance of the Executive’s account under the Pension Plan attributable to employee contributions made to such plan by the Executive as of December 31, 2010, adjusted on and after January 1, 2011 for its allocable share of earnings through the date of the Executive’s termination of employment or death, as the case
