RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
Omneon Restructuring
In 2010, the Company recorded an excess facilities charge of $3.0 million related to the closure of the Omneon headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.

Subsequent to the original accrual, the Company revised its estimate and additional provisions were recorded. The following table summarizes the activity in the Omneon restructuring accrual during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):
