The rabbi trust (the “Trust”) holds investments to fund certain of the Company's obligations under its nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”). Trust investments include money market and mutual funds. The Trust assets are subject to claims of the Company's creditors.

Deferred finance costs are amortized using the interest method over the term of the debt. Amortization expense was $6.4 million (including $3.3 million of amortization related to early debt retirement), $6.2 million (including $2.2 million of amortization related to early debt retirement) and $4.9 million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
