RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	NOTE 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS *Carl A. Pelzel* In April 2011, the Company entered into a separation agreement and release with Carl A. Pelzel, the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the separation agreement, Mr. Pelzel will be paid $520,000, which is equivalent to one year of his base salary. Payments are being made over one year, and will be reduced dollar-for-dollar by any compensation Mr. Pelzel receives in connection with employment (or full-time consulting) by another employer (or third party). The Company will also pay Mr. Pelzel's health and dental insurance COBRA premiums for up to 18 months following his separation from the Company. The separation agreement further provides for three months' accelerated vesting of Mr. Pelzel's options to purchase the Company's common stock, and a release of claims in favor of the Company. The Company incurred a one-time severance charge of approximately $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 with respect to this separation agreement, consisting of approximately $0.4 million in stock-based compensation related to the accelerated vesting of Mr. Pelzel's awards and approximately $0.6 million of severance expense related to future payments and health care benefits
