The Company has elected to use the actual fair value of plan assets as the market-related value of assets in the determination of the expected return on plan assets. |

Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a corridor approach. The gain/loss corridor is equal to 10 percent of the greater of the benefit obligation and the market-related value of assets. Gains and losses in excess of the corridor are generally amortized over the average future working lifetime of the plan participants.
