OTHER RETIREMENT PLANS
 
Substantially all of our employees are eligible to participate in a qualified defined contribution retirement plan. We also have other retirement and compensation plans for executives and others. Benefits under such plans were substantially reduced or eliminated in 2010 and 2009. In 2011 certain of those benefits were reinstated.
 
Retirement and compensation plan costs, including interest on deferred compensation costs, charged to continuing operations are $2,801,000 in 2011, $1,891,000 in 2010 and $6,702,000 in 2009.
