Restricted Cash

The Company had restricted cash of $4.6 million and $5.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which is included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets. On October 11, 2007, the Company entered into a lease for new office space in Parsippany, New Jersey. The Company relocated its principal executive offices to the new space in the first quarter of 2009. Restricted cash of $4.1 million and $5.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, collateralized outstanding letters of credit associated with this lease. The funds are invested in certificates of deposit. The letter of credit permits draws by the landlord to cure defaults by the Company. The amount of the letter of credit is subject to reduction upon the achievement of certain regulatory and operational milestones relating to the Company's products. However, in no event will the amount of the letter of credit be reduced below approximately $1.0 million. In addition, as a result of the acquisition of Targanta in 2009, the Company had at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 restricted cash of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in the form of a guaranteed investment certificate collateralizing an available credit facility. The Company also had at September 30, 2011 restricted cash of $0.3 million related to certain foreign tender requirements.
