the Retirement Plan pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Retirement Plan (calculated for purposes of this Plan without regard to any reduction in the Participant’s Compensation pursuant to this subparagraph C) as Associate Pre-Tax Contributions except for the Limitations of the Code, and (ii) to credit the amount of such Supplemental Member Contributions to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Plan Account as hereinafter provided. In no event will Supplemental Member Contributions be credited to the Supplemental Retirement Plan Account of any Participant for any period after May 31, 2003.
