10.  Employee Benefit Plans

The company has a defined contribution plan (the "Plan") generally covering all full-time employees.  Company contributions to the Plan are made based on plan provisions and at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  The company made contributions of $19.9 million, $19.9 million and $18.6 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The company also has two overfunded defined benefit plans that were frozen upon acquisition in a 1994 business combination.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the company had recorded a $4.9 million and $2.7 million asset, respectively, in other non-current assets related to the pension plans.  The plans are not significant to the accompanying consolidated financial statements taken as a whole; accordingly, additional related disclosures are omitted from these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The company has a deferred compensation plan for senior managers and executive officers.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, liabilities related to this plan totaling $13.5 million and $11.7 million, respectively, were included in accrued expenses.
