Fixed income and equity funds. The fair market value reflects the combined market value of the underlying stock and/or market value of the underlying
debt securities. The market value of the common stock portion, if any, of the fund is based on the primary-exchange closing prices of the stocks of the fund.
Insurance contract and deposit administration fund. Both of these investments are stable investment vehicles structured to provide investment income.
Generally, the deposit administration fund assets are not subject to market volatilities as the fund earns a stated return, determined at the beginning of each year.
Similarly, the insurance contract is not subject to market volatility. Due to the conservative nature of the underlying assets, the cost of these investments
approximates their fair value.
Expected 2010 employer contributions are $12 million for the pension plans and $153 million for the other postretirement benefit plans. The following
benefit payments are expected to be made by the Company in future years for the Company’s retirement plans:
