Employee Retirement Savings Plan

Note 10.  Employee Retirement Savings Plan

The Company has established a pretax savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for substantially all U.S. employees. Under the plan, eligible employees are able to contribute up to 50% of their compensation, subject to limits specified in the Internal Revenue Code. Effective May 1, 2009, the Company suspended its matching contributions to the plan. Previously, Company contributions matched up to 3% of a participant’s compensation. As of April 3, 2011, the Company authorized a special discretionary contribution to the plan for fiscal 2011. The Company’s contributions on behalf of its employees totaled $0.6 million, $0.1 million and $2.7 million in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company also maintains retirement plans in certain non-U.S. locations. The total expense and total obligation of the Company for these plans were not material to the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
