Sure, it should be care of the companies to write contracts that avoid abuses by weasely CEOs and are fair toward both parties. Sadly far too often high level execs have a devilish ability to be overvalued and overpaid by companies, whatever kind of contract they choose. I'll never understand it, I'm always suspicious when I see someone showing excessive self-confidence, particularly if marketing is in some ways concerned. And a wannabe CEO trying to sell himself at the highest price IS marketing. 
Edit: nothing less and nothing more than a whore extoling her "virtues", to be blunt...
