Excellent links, Brian.   I personally, have never worked under this kind of 
arrangement.  Possibly it will be more common with the economy in the state 
that it is.  There are different kind of equity arrangements.  Ten thousand 
shares of stock for "when the company goes public" has got a far less chance 
of paying off than a partnership (a share in company income and direction).
