NOTE 14—BENEFIT PLANS

The Company maintains a funded non-qualified deferred compensation program for its senior executives pursuant to which it pays additional compensation equal to 10% of the senior executive's annual compensation. The Company directs this additional cash compensation first into the senior executive's individual retirement account, up to the legal limit, with the remainder directed into a trust. Distributions from the applicable trust are made upon or shortly after the executive reaches age 70, disability, death, or earlier election by the executive after age 60. The Company also pays certain non-executive employees additional cash contributions to the employee's individual retirement account in amounts that are determined at management's discretion. Aggregate contributions to all such accounts in cash amounted to $530, $531 and $480 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
