PENSION BENEFITS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
 
We maintain three defined benefit retirement plans in which our named executive officers may participate:
 
  •  a tax qualified defined benefit retirement plan and related trust for all employees (the “Defined Benefit Plan”);
 
  •  a nonqualified Benefit Restoration Plan (the “BRP”) that provides benefits that would be provided under the Defined Benefit Plan except for (i) limitations imposed by the Code, (ii) limitations imposed for those who earned greater than $220,000, and (iii) the inclusion of nonqualified deferred compensation in the definition of compensation; and
 
  •  a nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Income Plan (the “SRIP”) for a small group of executives that provides the benefits similar to those provided by the BRP plus certain additional benefits.
 
The following table shows the estimated present value of accumulated retirement benefits as provided under the Defined Benefit Plan and the SRIP to the named executive officers. All named executive officers are or were participants in the SRIP, therefore BRP benefits are not included in the table below. SRIP benefits vest after 10 years of service. Participants who voluntarily terminate their employment with less than 10 years of service or who are terminated for cause lose their SRIP benefits and are instead paid under the BRP. Amounts payable under the SRIP or the BRP are reduced by the amounts payable under the Defined Benefit Plan so there is no duplication of benefits. Retirement benefits are calculated based upon years of service and “final average compensation.” Final average compensation consists of the average of the highest three consecutive years’ compensation out of the last 10 years. Under the SRIP and BRP, compensation includes base salary, bonus, overtime and 401(k) and Section 125 deferrals. The definition of compensation under the Defined Benefit Plan is the same as the definition under the SRIP and BRP except nonqualified deferred compensation is excluded and compensation is limited by Code compensation limits.
