Interesting story behind the takeover.

If Overture had been sold to another company, Yahoo could have dropped Overture's links from its popular site and demanded a termination payment of $5 million to $10 million in addition to 2 percent to 3 percent of Overture's stock, according to the prospectus.

Wow, now that's a safety net, isn't it?
