      guarantee.
        (vi) For the purposes of the computations prescribed by the  preceding
      subparagraphs of this paragraph:
        (A)  the  term  "base fiscal year" set forth in the provisions of such
      sections 13-193 and 13-232 mentioned  in  such  subparagraphs  shall  be

      defined  in  paragraph  (c)  of this subdivision) shall be determined as
      follows:
        (A)  If  the  cumulative earnings factor for the immediately preceding

      quantity,  the  cumulative  earnings factor for the TPSOVSF basis fiscal
      year related to a payment guarantee  shall  be  equal  to  the  earnings
      differential  for  such  basis  TPSOVSF fiscal year related to a payment
      guarantee.
        (B) If the cumulative earnings factor for  the  immediately  preceding
      TPSOVSF  basis fiscal year related to a payment guarantee was a negative
      quantity, the cumulative earnings factor for the  TPSOVSF  basis  fiscal
      year related to a payment guarantee shall be equal to the sum of:
        (1)  the  earnings  differential  for  the  TPSOVSF  basis fiscal year
      related to a payment guarantee; and
        (2) the cumulative  earnings  factor  for  the  immediately  preceding
      TPSOVSF basis fiscal year related to a payment guarantee, increased with
      interest  at a rate equal to the assumed rate of interest (as defined in
      paragraph eight of subdivision a of section 13-232  of  this  title,  as
      made  applicable  to  this  section  by subdivision two of this section)

      this subdivision as "cumulative earnings factor as of June thirtieth  in
      the first TPSOVSF calendar year covered by a payment guarantee" shall be
      substituted for the term "cumulative earnings factor for the immediately
      preceding TPSOVSF basis fiscal year related to a payment guarantee".
        (h)  "TPSOVSF cumulative earnings factor". With respect to any TPSOVSF
      basis fiscal  year  related  to  a  payment  guarantee  (as  defined  in
      paragraph  (c)  of this subdivision), the amount obtained by multiplying
      the allocation to the transit  police  variable  supplements  funds  (as
      defined  in  paragraph  (f) of subdivision one of transit police section
      13-193  of  this  chapter,  as  made  applicable  to  this  section   by
      subdivision  one thereof), for such TPSOVSF basis fiscal year related to
      a payment guarantee by a fraction, the numerator of which shall  be  the

      TPSOVSF basis fiscal year related to a payment guarantee  on  behalf  of
      all  transit police members who are transit police superior officers (as
      defined in subdivision eighty-four of section 13-101 of  this  chapter),
      as of the last day of such TPSOVSF basis fiscal year and the denominator
      of  which shall be the total contributions made to the retirement system

      officers' variable supplements fund by the actuary pursuant to paragraph
      (i) of subdivision three of transit  police  superior  officers  section
      13-192 shows that for any TPSOVSF basis fiscal year related to a payment
      guarantee,  such  liabilities  exceed  such  assets,  the  term "TPSOVSF
      unfunded accrued liability" shall mean the amount of the excess of  such
      liabilities over the amount of such assets for such TPSOVSF basis fiscal
      year.
    
        (j)  "TPSOVSF  calendar  year  covered  by  a  payment guarantee". The
      calendar year in which a guarantee, by a guarantee obligor  (as  defined

      year  related  to  a  payment  guarantee (as defined in paragraph (c) of
      subdivision  three  of  this  section),  but  not  later  than  December
      thirty-first  of  the  current  TPSOVSF fiscal year related to a payment
      guarantee (as defined in paragraph (k)  of  subdivision  three  of  this
      section),  the  board of trustees of the retirement system shall compute
      the TPSOVSF cumulative earnings factor (as defined in paragraph  (h)  of
      subdivision  three  of  this section) with respect to such TPSOVSF basis
      fiscal year.
        5. If the TPSOVSF cumulative earnings factor  of  such  TPSOVSF  basis
      fiscal  year is a positive quantity, the retirement system, on or before
      December thirty-first of the current TPSOVSF fiscal year  related  to  a
      payment  guarantee,  shall  pay  from its contingent reserve fund to the
      transit police superior officers'  variable  supplements  fund,  as  the

      fiscal year related to a payment guarantee which shall exceed the TPOVSF
      unfunded   accrued   liability  for  such  TPSOVSF  basis  fiscal  year,
      regardless of  the  amount  and  character  of  the  TPSOVSF  cumulative
      earnings factor for such TPSOVSF basis fiscal year.
        8.  The  comptroller  shall  furnish  to  the board of trustees of the
      retirement system such information and data as it may  request  for  the
