Additional Compensation Elements

Qualified Pension Plan. The Company provides a retirement benefit to certain employees under a tax-qualified retirement plan (a type of tax-qualified defined-benefit plan commonly referred to as a cash balance plan). Cash balance plans are similar to a defined-contribution plan in that a participant’s benefit is a stated account balance. As a cash balance plan, the Pension Plan allows the Company to apply any earnings on the Plan’s investments beyond the fixed return provided to participants toward the Company’s future cash funding obligations. The Pension Plan, including NEO participation, is more fully described in the “Pension Benefits” section.

401(k) Plan. The Company provides a tax-qualified defined-contribution 401(k) Plan for employees after a 30-day waiting period. The plan allows eligible employees to make contributions on a pre- and post-tax basis through payroll deductions (up to IRS limits) and invest their contributions in one or more investment options. New employees are automatically enrolled for a 3% pre-tax contribution but have the ability to opt out before the effective date. The plan does not provide a Company match. Instead, the Company provides retirement contributions to eligible employees through the Pension Plan.

Nonqualified Retirement Plans. The Company provides a retirement benefit to certain employees under the following nonqualified retirement plans: (1) the restoration pension plan (the “Restoration Plan”) and (2) the supplemental executive officers’ retirement plan (the “SERP”). The SERP was closed to new participants effective December 31, 2011, and the Restoration Plan was adopted effective January 1, 2012. Any benefit payable under the Restoration Plan reduces the benefit payable under the SERP. A retirement plan is an important retention tool in the Company’s compensation program because the receipt of benefits is contingent on certain age and service requirements. Additionally, the non-qualified retirement plans include a performance- based element, because they are based in part on a participant’s yearly cash compensation. The Company balances the effectiveness of these plans as a compensation and retention tool with the cost of these plans. The SERP and Restoration Plan, including NEO participation, are more fully described in the “Pension Benefits” section.

Executive Benefits. The Company provides NEOs with a limited number of perquisites that the Company and the Committee believe are reasonable, consistent with the Company’s overall compensation program, and necessary to remain competitive. Perquisites include automobile program and cost of annual physical exams. Costs associated with the perquisites provided by the Company are included in the “All Other Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation Table.

Change of Control Agreements. The Company has entered into a change of control agreement with each of the NEOs. The change of control agreements encourage retention in the face of the disruptive impact of an actual or attempted change of control of the Company. The agreements also align NEO and shareholder interests by enabling the NEOs to consider corporate transactions that are in the best interests of the
