Note 9.  Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan.  The Company's matching and employer discretionary contributions to the defined contribution 401(k) plan were approximately $2.3 million, $2.4 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company maintains an unfunded, nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for named executives.  In 2010, the Company curtailed future participation in the SERP.  Current participants may remain in the SERP and continue to earn returns (either gains or losses) on invested balances, but the Company will make no further contributions to the SERP and no new participants will be eligible to join the SERP.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the total liability due to participants in the SERP was $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

In order to provide some protection to the participants, the Company created a rabbi trust to hold assets sufficient to pay obligations under the SERP.  Assets within the trust were invested to mirror participant elections as to investment options (a mix of stock and bond mutual funds); investment income, gains and losses in the trust were used to determine investment returns on the participants’ balances in the SERP.
