Employee separation costs consist of severance to be paid pursuant to the Company's written severance plan. In 2015, employee separation charges were associated with discontinuing our cyber-security product offering and integrating each of our segments' business markets. In 2014, employee separation charges included charges attributable to outsourcing a portion of our IT function and incurring consulting fees related to a workforce optimization initiative. During 2013, employee separation costs included consulting fees related to a workforce optimization initiative.
Lease abandonment costs represent future minimum lease obligations, net of expected sublease income, for abandoned facilities. Reversals in 2014 were related to previously abandoned leased space that was reoccupied in the third quarter. Lease payments on abandoned facilities will continue through 2019.
Other charges in 2015 represent project related expenses as we continue to identify opportunities to integrate the business markets within our Entertainment and Communications and IT Services & Hardware segments. For 2013, contract terminations consisted of amounts due to a distributor to terminate a contractual agreement.
