(2) An amount equal to the actuarial value of deferred annuities to members who have not retired but who have acquired a vested right to a retirement allowance who may desire to maintain that vested right; and

(3) An amount equal to the accumulated contributions of the members who have not acquired a vested right which shall be refunded to those members.
