FACILITIES REALIGNMENT
Saddle River, New Jersey Facility
 
Prior to December 2009, the Company's corporate headquarters were located in a three-floor facility in Saddle River, New Jersey. In 2007, the Company entered into a sublease for the second floor of its Saddle River, New Jersey facility through the end of the facility's lease term, January 2016. This sublease will not fully offset the Company's lease obligations for this space; therefore, the Company recorded a $1.0 million charge for facility realignment and related asset impairment for furniture and leasehold improvements in the office space.

In December 2009, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters from its Saddle River, New Jersey facility to a smaller office located in Parsippany, New Jersey. Due to the relocation, the Company recorded a facility realignment charge of approximately $3.9 million in December 2009 and a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1.5 million related to furniture, leasehold improvements and office equipment in the office space. Effective September 1, 2009, the Company extended the sublease for the first floor of its Saddle River, New Jersey facility through the remainder of the facility lease term. The sublease is expected to provide approximately $2.3 million in sublease income through January 2016, but will not fully offset the Company's lease obligations for this space. As a result, the Company recorded a $0.8 million facility realignment charge in the third quarter of 2009. The Company also recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $0.4 million related to furniture and leasehold improvements in the office space.

Due to continued adverse conditions in the real estate market in 2010, the Company adjusted its assumptions regarding its ability to sublease unoccupied space on the third floor of the Saddle River, New Jersey facility resulting in realignment charges of approximately $0.6 million and $1.4 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In September 2011, the Company secured a sublease for the approximately 47,000 square feet of remaining space in Saddle River, New Jersey. This sublease runs through the end of the facility's lease term, January 2016. The Company expects to receive approximately $2.2 million in lease payments over the life of the sublease.
Dresher, Pennsylvania Facility
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company continued to right size its operations in Dresher, Pennsylvania and recorded facility realignment charges of $1.4 million and non-cash impairments of furniture and leasehold improvements of $0.7 million. During 2010, the Company discontinued the operations of its TVG business unit and exited the remaining portion of space at the facility, thus recording additional restructuring charges of $0.3 million for facility realignment and $0.6 million for non-cash asset impairments of furniture and leasehold improvements in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. See Note 12, Discontinued Operations, for further information regarding the discontinued operations of TVG.
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company entered into two separate agreements to sublease substantially all of the remaining space in Dresher, Pennsylvania.  These subleases have lease terms that expire on November 30, 2016 in connection with the underlying facility lease.  
Schaumburg, Illinois Facility
In December 2011, the Company sold certain assets of its Pharmakon business unit, vacated the business units' Schaumburg, Illinois facility and recorded a facility realignment charge of $0.4 million in discontinued operations. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company secured a sublease for the approximately 6,700 square feet of office space in Schaumburg, Illinois. This sublease runs through the end of the facility's lease term, February 2015. The Company expects to receive approximately $0.3 million in lease payments over the life of the sublease.
The following table presents a rollforward of the Company’s restructuring reserve from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, of which approximately $1.4 million is included in other accrued expenses and $1.7 million is included in long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2012. The Company recognizes accretion expense in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
