Putting my investment banker hat back on..... Over the years I did many deals up and down the balance sheet. A lot of them were with great companies that I knew would benefit greatly partnering with the capital source I brought them to. In such instances I usually structured my pay based on the performance of the company. Small amount up front and payments annually based on performance and in most cases warrants on the back end(equity deals or mezz deals).
In all cases I demanded quarterly earnings reports from the client. My agreement was always with the client not the source of capital.

So....if any of my compensation is being based on performance....you cool believe I want some proof of the activity.
