FYI: Its a good idea to pool your cash with some colleges in the same situation to pay for the legal advice, i have done this before, if you have all have the same questions and scenario there is no need for you all to pay multiple times for the same advice.

I agree. I've been in some strange stock option situations and 3 of us hired a tax accountant to investigate everything and help us file the additional paperwork properly. It cost us about $500 but it was better advice than the questionable advice we were getting from our startup's finance person.
