In reality that offer would create too many logistical problems - it ties your stock up for ten years among other things ect. And remember - it is my option to buy at $5 so I would not have to buy if the price were anywhere under that. In the end you will do much better holding for 10 years - at the 10 year reunion you can buy me a drink with all the extra money you have over the $5 share price. Was just trying to throw some levity into your $5 comment but I'm too nice to steal your shares for a paltry $5.
