This excerpt taken from the MIGP DEF 14A filed Mar 30, 2007. NONQUALIFIED
DEFERRED COMPENSATION IN 2006
Footnotes:
In addition to the tax-qualified MIRSP (discussed above) that we
maintain for the benefit of all eligible employees, our senior
officers (including the named executive officers) are eligible
to participate in the Executive Nonqualified Excess Plan and in
the nonqualified 401(k) Mirror Plan. The Executive Nonqualified
Excess Plan allows a participant to defer receipt of all or a
portion of his salary, in addition to amounts deferred under the
MIRSP. Amounts contributed to the 401(k) Mirror Plan are matched
by the Company in the same amount and subject to the same
vesting schedules as are deferrals to the MIRSP. To the extent
that a named executives compensation exceeds the annual
limitation under the Code discussed above (currently $220,000),
the Company contributes for his benefit an amount equal to the
additional amount which would have been contributed to the MIRSP
in the absence of this ERISA limitation. Amounts in the plan,
together with accumulated earnings, are distributed at the
discretion of the participant as a lump sum or in installments
over a period of not more than ten years. The 401(k) Mirror Plan
is a plan that Mercer contributes to on behalf of executive
officers to permit deferrals and Company contributions that are
in excess of the limitations under the Code. The Company
contributions made to these nonqualified deferred compensation
plans for the benefit of each named executive officer are
reported in the All Other Compensation column in the
Summary Compensation Table which appears above. Balances in both
nonqualified plans are invested in investment vehicles chosen by
the participants from a selection of investment choices that are
unrelated to the Company in any way.
