(c) Commencing in calendar year nineteen hundred ninety, and each year thereafter, the authority shall transfer from the corporate transportation account to the Dutchess account, the Orange account and the Rockland account, respectively, an amount equal to the percent by which such county's payments to the authority in the preceding calendar year pursuant to the provisions of subdivisions one and two of section two hundred sixty-one of the tax law increased over such payments in nineteen hundred eighty-nine times one million five hundred thousand dollars for Dutchess county, one million five hundred thousand dollars for Orange county and two million dollars for Rockland county; provided, however, that in no event shall such amount reduce the amount that each county would receive pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subdivision be reduced by operation of this paragraph, and provided further, however, for purposes of calculating the percent by which such county's payments to the authority in the preceding calendar year pursuant to the provisions of subdivisions one and two of section two hundred sixty-one of the tax law increased over such payments in nineteen hundred eighty-nine, there shall be excluded the amount by which the payments in each such year increased as a result of the recording tax imposed pursuant to the provisions of subdivision one of section two hundred sixty-one of the tax law being in excess of twenty-five cents for each one hundred dollars.

(d) (1) In the event the county of Dutchess, the county of Orange or the county of Rockland withdraws from the metropolitan transportation district, the authority shall not transfer from the corporate transportation account to the metropolitan transportation authority Dutchess, Orange and Rockland fund that portion of the moneys that would otherwise be transferred from such account to such fund to the credit of such withdrawing county or counties.
