I agree with Mark Cuban on this. Easy decision and implementation.

1. Taking this money is optional but if you take it you accept the following terms. 2. You will not buy back stock for a period of 12 (?) months after the transaction. 3. For the four quarters following this transaction, you will not reduce your workforce by greater than 5%. 4. Etc.

There has to be a quid pro quo. It's not free.
