Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

From time to time, the Company has undertaken restructuring and expense control measures to support its business performance and to align the Company’s cost structure with its resources. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Plan to better align the Company’s cost structure with the skills and resources required to more effectively execute the Company’s long-term growth strategy and to support revenue levels the Company expects to achieve on a go forward basis. In connection with the 2013 Plan, the Company eliminated over 100 positions worldwide, implemented tighter expense controls, ceased non-core activities and closed or downsized several facilities. The 2013 Plan is expected to be completed by December 31, 2014, except for certain payments under the 2013 Plan that are expected to be paid through the first six months of 2015. There can be no assurance that all payments will be completed by that time. The following table summarizes the activity related to restructuring liabilities recorded in connection with the Company's 2013 Plan:
