(9) 401(k) Profit Sharing, Deferred Compensation and Long-term Incentive Plans

We have a defined contribution 401(k) plan and trust covering substantially all full-time employees. The annual contribution to the plan is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Contributions of $2.1 million, $1.9 million and $1.7 million were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Employees may contribute to the plan if they meet certain eligibility requirements.

We offer a deferred compensation and long-term incentive plan (the “LTIP”) to provide certain employees the ability to accumulate assets for retirement on a tax deferred basis. We may make discretionary contributions to the LTIP. Discretionary contributions vest between one and seven years based on the employee’s age and position. Additionally, a participant may defer a portion of his or her compensation and receive the deferred amount upon certain events, including termination or retirement.

The following is a summary related to our LTIP:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Compensation expense (millions)	$	1.4		$	1.2		$	0.9
Total discretionary contribution (millions)	$	2.1		$	1.9		$	1.3
Guaranteed annual return		5.25	%		5.90	%		6.00	%

As of December 31, 2013, the balance due to participants was $7.1 million and was included as a component of other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
