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.)
