Description of the SERP

 

In 2005, our Board approved the terms of an agreement for a supplemental retirement benefit for Mr. Burd. Under the terms of this agreement, Mr. Burd’s total retirement benefit is calculated as a percentage of his final average compensation (defined as the average of Mr. Burd’s base salary and bonus for the five consecutive years during his final ten years of service during which the total of his base salary and bonus is the highest). If Mr. Burd were to terminate employment with us at age 59 (his current age), he would be eligible to receive a retirement benefit equal to 54% of his final average compensation, and this percentage would increase by 1% for each full year of service thereafter, up to a maximum of 60% of his final average compensation. Any amount determined pursuant to this formula will be offset by Mr. Burd’s benefits under the Retirement Plans.

 

Upon termination of employment for any reason other than for cause, Mr. Burd will receive his accumulated net SERP benefit as an annuity paid monthly (commencing within 90 days of the first day of the seventh month after such termination of employment if for any reason other than death). In the event of a termination of Mr. Burd’s employment for cause, Mr. Burd would not receive a payment under the SERP.

 

No other executive officer has a supplemental retirement benefit other than the RRP.
