In any deal, you want to look to protect yourself. Look at this -

> The next 6 months however I will be paid back the diff and also get my market salary, provided there is money.

So, answer, What if there isn't money? Then what?

Draw up the contract so that you get something if there's no money for you. You'll feel burned quite badly if the answer is just, "Oh, sorry, we don't have the money now."

So, figure that out. If you want to guarantee you get the cash, have something serious in the event you don't get it. Maybe very significant equity at that point? Then it's very clear that you need to be paid, lest there's consequences. Look, everyone is great and honorable and all that, but things go wrong sometimes, and it's better to have it written down in the contract what happens in the event things go wrong.
