Annual contributions to the plan are discretionary and are based on fixed percentages of participants' salaries and years of service, not to exceed certain maximums. Pension expenses were $13.0 million, $15.2 million and $15.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
