PART I, LINE 1A THE ORGANIZATION'S TRAVEL POLICY CONTAINS A PROVISION THAT ALLOWS FLYING FIRST CLASS FOR ANY ONE-WAY FLIGHT THAT IS LONGER THAN EIGHT HOURS. EXCEPTIONS REQUIRE SENIOR EXECUTIVE APPROVAL. THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND HIGHEST-COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES HAVE, FROM TIME TO TIME, FLOWN FIRST CLASS AS ALLOWED BY THE TRAVEL POLICY. THE ORGANIZATION ALLOWS FOR TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS WHEN THERE IS A VALID BUSINESS PURPOSE.
PART I, LINE 4B THERE ARE TWO NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS IN WHICH ONE OR MORE OF THE LISTED PERSONS PARTICIPATE. THE FIRST PLAN IS A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN. THIS IS A "GRANDFATHERED" TRADITIONAL DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (NO NEW PARTICIPANTS HAVE BEEN ADDED SINCE 1986). THE BENEFIT FORMULA IS A PERCENTAGE OF THE HIGHEST FIVE YEARS AVERAGE ANNUAL SALARY TIMES THE NUMBER OF YEARS OF ELIGIBLE SERVICE, WITH A MAXIMUM CREDITED SERVICE OF 30 YEARS. THE SECOND PLAN IS A SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE THAT IS PAYABLE DIRECTLY TO THE PARTICIPANTS EACH QUARTER. THE BENEFIT FORMULA FOR THIS PLAN HAS ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT ARE EITHER A PERCENTAGE OF SALARY, OR ARE DESIGNED TO FUND A PERCENTAGE OF THE ESTIMATED FINAL 5-YEAR AVERAGE SALARY. CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS ALSO RECEIVED PAYOUTS FROM AMOUNTS ACCRUED IN PRIOR YEARS. THE FOLLOWING OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND HIGHEST-COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES RECEIVED PAYMENTS DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 RELATED TO THE PLANS REFERENCED ABOVE.
