BOO!!!
John,
That's one sweet deal for the departing execs, however it's up to the board of directors to set the hiring perks for at least the CEO. They negotiated for a golden parachute and got it, now if they could only inspire the Cadence sales force to go and close some good deals...

BoDs are just made up of other CEOs - of course it's a sweet deal, and of course they agreed. Doesn't make it any less criminal.

P.S. - nice photoshop job Harry! That WAS scary...
With three lawsuits already filed against Cadence the departing execs may need that money to cover legal fees (if not to pay judgments/settlements).
