4. Restricted Cash

 

In connection with the LNR acquisition, we assumed a $23.1 million escrow account funded by the sellers of LNR on behalf of certain employees. The cash from this account is payable to the employees upon the occurrence of certain events, including involuntary termination without cause or the employees rendering of service through the nine month anniversary of the acquisition date.  Also in connection with the LNR acquisition, we were required to cash collateralize certain obligations of LNR, including letters of credit and performance obligations.  The Company funded $3.3 million for these obligations and our affiliate funded the remaining $6.2 million.  The full amount is in the name of a subsidiary of the Company and is therefore reflected as the Company’s restricted cash.  An offsetting payable to our affiliate of $6.2 million is recorded in related party payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. A summary of our restricted cash as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, is as follows (amounts in thousands):
