Income represents adjustments to previously recorded severance and employee benefit accruals. (2) Asset Disposal Charges primarily represent accelerated depreciation and impairment charges on plant and equipment, which were or are to be abandoned. Asset disposal charges also  included the acceleration effect of re-estimating settlement dates associated with asset retirement obligations due to facility shutdowns, see Note 8. (3) Other Charges primarily represent costs associated accrued lease payments, contract terminations, and other miscellaneous exit costs. Other Income primarily represents favorable  development on previously recorded exit costs as well as recoveries associated with restructurings. The restructuring charges and asset disposals noted above were the result of the following: In January 2009, we announced plans to realign our BioPolymer  alginates manufacturing operations in Norway and the United Kingdom  as we continued integration of the ISP alginates business acquired in  August 2008. A portion of the restructuring charges associated with  this realignment were recognized as liabilities in the purchase price  allocation described in Note 3. In June 2007, we made the decision to phase out operations of our  Baltimore, Maryland facility. Our decision was consistent with our  strategy to maintain globally cost-competitive manufacturing positions  by sourcing raw materials, intermediates and finished products in lower- cost manufacturing locations. We ceased production at this facility in  the second quarter of 2008. In May 2008, we made the decision to phase out operations of our  Jacksonville, Florida facility by the third quarter of 2008. Our decision  was consistent with our strategy to maintain globally cost-competitive  manufacturing positions.
