The Company currently accounts for all of its leases as operating leases. In addition, the Company has one lease with a related party. The Company leases its Clinton, New Jersey headquarters from a partnership in which two Board members, Messrs. D. Dallas and R. Dallas are partners. Under the lease for the facility, the partnership received aggregate rental payments of $416 thousand in 2011 and $410 thousand in 2010. Rental payments reflect market rents and the lease reflects terms that are comparable to those which could have been obtained in a lease with an unaffiliated third party. This lease has a five-year term, expiring at the end of 2013. After year one, the annual base rent of $400 thousand per annum is increased each year by the increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for the New York Metropolitan area (not to exceed 3 percent).
