Note 11 — Employee Benefit Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan (Plan) in which substantially all U.S. employees are eligible to participate. Company matching contributions to the Plan are based on the amount of employee contributions. The costs of our matching contributions to the Plan were $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $2.3 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Employees become 100 percent vested in the employer match contributions immediately upon participation in the Plan. The participation waiting period is 60 days after the date of hire.
