     During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company made contributions of $374 and $337, respectively, to its non-contributory defined benefit plan (the “Pension Plan”). During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company made contributions of $936 and $337, respectively, and expects to make total contributions to its Pension Plan in 2011 of $1,685.

     The Company’s investments associated with its Pension Plan primarily consist of (i) mutual funds that are publicly traded and (ii) a commingled fund. The mutual funds are publicly traded and market prices of the mutual funds are readily available; thus, these investments are categorized as Level 1. The commingled fund is categorized as Level 2 because inputs used in its valuation are not quoted prices in active markets that are indirectly observable and is valued at the net asset value of the shares held by the Pension Plan at quarter end. The Company’s Pension Plan assets measured at fair value at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:
