Restructuring Expense [Abstract]

Restructuring Expense

14. Restructuring Expense

On December 8, 2008, as part of our efforts to improve operational efficiency we decided to close our research and development facilities in Tarrytown, NY, which resulted in a restructuring charge of approximately $3.8 million in the fourth quarter 2008. As described in Note 13 above, on April 29, 2009, the Company entered into the Lease Termination Agreement with BMR, and credited the restructuring charge of $0.35 million in accordance with the terms of the Lease Termination Agreement. On March 17, 2010 the Company and BMR amended the Lease Termination Agreement as described in Note 13 above. Consequently, the restructuring liability was readjusted to reflect the terms of the Amendment accordingly.

Adjustments to the restructuring liability are as follows ($ thousands):

	Liability at		Cash			Adjustment to		Liability at
	December 31, 2010		Payments			the Liability		June 30, 2011
