EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsors two 401(k) defined contribution plans covering substantially all associates.  The Company generally matches participants' contributions, on a sliding scale, up to a maximum of 5% of the participant's earnings.  The Company did not match participants' contributions for one of the two 401(k) plans for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 plan years; however, for the 2012 plan year, the Company plans on matching participants' contributions up to a maximum of 3% of the participant's earnings. In addition to the discretionary match for this plan, the plan also provides for an additional Company contribution if the Company attains certain performance targets. Matching contributions for the 401(k) plan, for which the match was applicable, were $87 in 2011, $107 in 2010 and $95 in 2009.

Non-Qualified Retirement Savings Plan

The Company sponsors a non-qualified retirement savings plan that allows eligible associates to defer a specified percentage of their compensation.  The obligations owed to participants under this plan were $10,927 at 2011 and $11,650 at 2010 and are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The obligations are unsecured general obligations of the Company and the participants have no right, interest or claim in the assets of the Company, except as unsecured general creditors.  The Company utilizes a Rabbi Trust to hold, invest and reinvest deferrals and contributions under the plan.  Amounts are invested in company-owned life insurance in the Rabbi Trust and the cash surrender value of the policies was $10,913 at 2011 and $11,544 at 2010 and is included in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Multi-Employer Pension Plan

The Company contributes to a multi-employer pension plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement that covers its union-represented employees. These union-represented employees represented 29% of the Company's total employees. The risks of participating in multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. If the Company chooses to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, the Company may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.

The Company's participation in its multi-employer pension plan for 2011 is provided in the table below. The "EIN/Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employee Identification Number (EIN) and the three digit plan number. The most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available in 2011 and 2010 is for the plan's year-end at 2010 and 2009, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates a plan for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date of the collective-bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject.

Pension Fund	EIN/Pension Plan Number	Pension Protection Act Zone Status		FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented (1)	Contributions (2)						Surcharge Imposed (1)	Expiration Date of Collective-Bargaining Agreement

The Pension Plan of the National Retirement Fund	13-6130178 - 001	Red	Red	Implemented	$	292	$	257	$	222	Yes	6/8/2013

(1) The collective-bargaining agreement requires the Company to contribute to the plan at the rate of $0.37 per compensated hour for each covered employee during the life of the collective-bargaining agreement. The Company will make additional contributions, as mandated by law, in accordance with the agreed to schedule for the fund's 2010 Rehabilitation Plan. The Rehabilitation Plan was effective June 1, 2010 and requires a surcharge equal to $0.02 per hour (from $0.37 to $0.39) effective June 1, 2010 - May 31, 2011, a surcharge equal to $0.05 per hour (from $0.37 to $0.42) effective June 1, 2011 - May 31, 2012 and a surcharge equal to $0.08 per hour (from $0.37 to $0.45) effective June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Based upon current employment and benefit levels, the Company's contributions to the multi-employer pension plan are expected to be approximately $314 for 2012.

(2) The Company's contributions to the plan do not represent more than 5% of the total contributions to the plan for the most recent plan year available.
