Note J: Employee Savings, Stock Purchase, Long-Term Incentive and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

Retirement Savings Opportunity Plan ("RSOP")

All full-time employees are eligible to participate in the RSOP. Part-time employees are eligible to participate in the RSOP following the completion of 1,000 hours of service within the first 12 months of employment or within any plan year after the date of hire. Pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the plan permits deferral of a portion of a participant's income into a variety of investment options. Total compensation expense related to the Company's matching contributions for this plan totaled $2.7 million, $2.2 million and $2.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")

All full-time employees of the Company, with the exception of its executive officers, are eligible to participate in the ESPP. Eligible employees authorize payroll deductions to be made for the purchase of shares. The Company matches a portion of the employee's contribution by donating an additional 20.0 percent of the employee's payroll deduction. Stock is purchased by a plan administrator on a monthly basis. All brokerage and transaction fees for purchasing the stock are paid for by the Company. The Company's expense related to its matching contributions for this plan totaled $246,000, $193,000 and $164,000 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Executive Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

During 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2014 LTIP pursuant to the 2011 Equity and Incentive Plan. The 2014 LTIP provides for a target award of 141,566 performance share units, which are equivalent to shares of common stock. The 2014 LTIP will use a long-term performance period of three years and measure the Company's relative total stockholder return ("TSR") and growth in revenues to determine the amount of performance shares earned at the end of the performance period, which is December 31, 2016. Half of the target amount of performance shares is earned by an executive officer if the Company's TSR is at the 50th percentile of the compensation peer group's performance as measured over the long-term performance period. If its relative TSR performance exceeds or falls below this target level, half of the target amount of performance shares earned by an executive officer is calculated such that it is reduced to zero at or below the 30th percentile level or increased to a maximum level of 200 percent at or above the 90th percentile level. The other half of the target amount of performance shares is earned if the Company's revenue growth over the long-term performance period is 30 percent. If its revenue growth exceeds or falls below this target level, half of the target amount of performance shares earned by an executive officer is calculated such that it is reduced to zero for revenue growth at or below 20 percent or increased to a maximum level of 200 percent for revenue growth at or above 40 percent. There are incremental adjustments for the calculation of earned performance shares between these minimum and maximum levels of performance.

During 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2013 LTIP pursuant to the 2011 Equity and Incentive Plan. The 2013 LTIP provides for a target award of 135,332 performance share units, which are equivalent to shares of common stock. The 2013 LTIP will use a long-term performance period of three years and measure the Company's relative TSR and growth in revenues to determine the amount of performance shares earned at the end of the performance period, which is December 31, 2015. Half of the target amount of performance shares is earned by an executive officer if the Company's TSR is at the 50th percentile of the compensation peer group's performance as measured over the long-term performance period. If its relative TSR performance exceeds or falls below this target level, half of the target amount of performance shares earned by an executive officer is calculated such that it is reduced to zero at or below the 30th percentile level or increased to a maximum level of 200 percent at or above the 90th percentile level. The other half of the target amount of performance shares is earned if the Company's revenue growth over the long-term performance period is 60 percent. If its revenue growth exceeds or falls below this target level, half of the target amount of performance shares earned by an executive officer is calculated such that it is reduced to zero for revenue growth at or below 45 percent or increased to a maximum level of 200 percent for revenue growth at or above 75 percent. There are incremental adjustments for the calculation of earned performance shares between these minimum and maximum levels of performance.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Company has a supplemental, unfunded, nonqualified retirement plan, which generally vests over five-year periods beginning in 2003, pursuant to which it will pay supplemental pension benefits to key employees upon retirement. All employees in the plan are fully vested as of December 31, 2014. In connection with the plan, it has purchased cost-recovery life insurance on the lives of certain employees. Insurance contracts associated with the plan are held by trusts established as part of the plan to implement and carry out its provisions and to finance its related benefits. The trusts are owners and beneficiaries of such contracts. The amount of coverage is designed to provide sufficient revenue to cover all costs of the plan if assumptions made as to employment term, mortality experience, policy earnings and other factors are realized. The values of the assets held in trust totaled $15.7 million and $15.2 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were included in "Other" assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table provides the costs recognized and benefits paid for the Company's supplemental, unfunded, nonqualified retirement plan during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:
