I appreciate Nathan's comments, but should note here that the part of  
the agreement he likes best was drafted primarily by me, and that the  
parts he likes least were drafted primarily by attorneys with specific  
expertise in corporate governance. (Employment law isn't exactly  
germane, since the agreement applies to Board members rather than to  
employees.)
