I'd suggest getting a good attorney to take a look at your current agreement (if you'd like, email me at username over at gmail, I have a good one). From what you have said so far, I would suggest to you that the fact that "they are 6+ months out until they raise and they want you out now" is their problem, not yours. If they fire you now, without cause, don't sign anything and keep the negotiation documents as proof that there is no cause. You keep your current stock and most importantly, your voting rights. Go find another job while you settle this whole matter. Talk to a lawyer and start to negotiate for what you want, not what will help them. If they don't fire you, tell them what you want and see if they will give it to you. Let them know you are willing to align your goals with theirs but that you want to be appropriately compensated for your prior risk. Keep it pretty business like. If you get into a sticky situation, don't be ashamed to call in the attorneys to help. It's what they are there for.
