EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We maintain a defined contribution retirement plan in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows eligible participating employees to defer receipt of up to 50% of their annual compensation and contribute such amount to one or more investment funds. We match employee contributions in a discretionary amount to be determined by management each plan year up to the lesser of 6% of an employee’s annual compensation or $3,000 per participant. We also may make additional discretionary contributions to the Plan as determined by management each plan year. Company matching funds and discretionary contributions vest at the rate of 20% each year beginning after the participants’ first year of service. We did not make a contribution in 2011. We contributed approximately $1.0 million in 2010 and $1.0 million in 2009.
