Ah, interesting. I was just about to ask you for the details, if only to warn others what not to do. So, in your termination offer to this person, did you specify the amount that would have been vested under the original agreement, or the new one? [Added] I wonder if a counteroffer that clearly satisfied the spirit of the original agreement would be accepted. After all, litigation will cost him money, too, and he might lose. Even just splitting the difference -- offering one of the two unvested years' worth of stock -- might be worth trying. They problem is, you'll have to convince them you're not just bluffing when you say that this is the most they'll get out of you without taking you to court.
